"In the first place, I think we could have done something big to him about how to bring the country together."

Prince who had a low right to inherit the throne. At first, everyone was puzzled by the abrupt appearance because he was an inconspicuous boy with no one paying attention.

"Impressed by the action of thinking of that other country, the defeated followers followed one after the other, working together to create a great nation"

That is how Emperor Justios was listening.

There were a number of competent people beside Prince Amshas, and those who were enemies had also vowed to join forces after fighting him. That's how he was welcomed as a great nobleman after he built his empire.

It was good when he was alive. However, the change in the price changes the emperor and the nobility so that various ideas collide.

That is a natural sight for a country, all the more so if it is a collection of nations that were originally together.

"I have to wonder here. Anyone hostile to Prince Amshas will be intoxicated by him… all of them."

Everyone is just out of the ordinary.

But history has proven that I was intoxicated by him for fighting.

"No way."

"Oh, I see you've noticed that you're just in the same position."

Throw words at Rio when you notice something.

Beside that, he was also turning his attention to me.

"The skills he gained from becoming a labyrinth lord are [mastered]. He crushed it and possessed a number of skills that he could put in his own hands. With that skill, you can also manipulate the opponent you were hostile to as you wish. The activation condition is to crush the opponent."

"I knew..."

Skills that will enable you to master your opponent by winning.

Instead of being able to manipulate as you wish, it's too powerful a skill if you can take your side. Normally powerful enough to doubt the existence of skills. However, it is reasonable to consider it a skill possessed by a labyrinth owner.

"He instantly expanded his power when he turned his enemies into allies by challenging opponents he could beat with the power he had."

"That's a story..."

"Never heard of it? That, I guess. There's no way to be known that an emperor who thinks of his people is using such methods to expand his power."

Even when it's small at the moment of being known, it becomes a threat. Everyone has a sense of refusal to be ruled by others. And we should have united in an unanimous attempt to crush Prince Amshas.

But the forces of Prince Amshas, who used his innate inconspicuousness, had become something that no one could ignore if they realized, and could no longer be dealt with.

"Now, Amshas, who was gaining such power. This was acquired, but I was asked to accept the terms instead of getting them."

That's becoming a labyrinth lord.

In addition, each labyrinth nucleus that manages the labyrinth has its own personality, and some demands may be made.

"They were good until they became emperors. I worked a lot of heads to make sure people came to the labyrinth, and the guy who was more convenient to dispose of than to side with was trapped and fed. Use the power gained to gain resources to increase your strength and increase your allies one after the other."

If you can strengthen your power, your chances of winning will increase and you can increase your allies even more.

"Until then, labyrinth nuclei had fun too. But you know what he did first."

"... made Wingle an Empire"

"Correct"

Emperor Justios doesn't know anything about the Labyrinth Lord.

Still, I could see from what I could understand fragmentarily that there was some involvement in the labyrinth with Emperor Amshas. And speaking of the labyrinth in the Gardis Empire, it's the labyrinth city of Ilkite.

"Until he became emperor, Prince Amshas was based in what is now the labyrinth city of Ilkite. I hear a lot of people just thought it was something that would make Ill Kite their capital."

But it was the wingle that was laid down in the imperial capital.

The reason is clear if you look at the map of Imperial Capital.

"Indeed, the wingle would be more central if viewed across the Gardis Empire, and the transportation network would be more neat than the Illukite, so the Empire would deserve it. It only makes sense if you look at it for political reasons."

Wingle just a little west of the center.

Streets were built because they were originally the capital of a large country among small and medium-sized countries, and were easy to use as a capital.

"But it's a deadly breach of contract."

The conditions that the labyrinth nucleus demanded of Prince Amshas.

"I made him promise to develop Illukite instead of gaining power. Back in the day, it seems, it was the capital of a big city, Ilkite. It was busier then than it is now, when it developed as a labyrinth city. I asked for my glory back then."

Emperor Amshas made Wingle an empire as a result of his contemplation of politics as emperor.

You'll be satisfied with developing it as a labyrinth city, leaving Ilkite as a labyrinth lord. If there's nothing like even a labyrinth nucleus being taken away, it's fine to leave it alone.

"But I was unhappy with the labyrinth nucleus"

It is developing so much that there are no problems indeed.

However, I was really jealous when they showed me through the eyes of the labyrinth lord what was going on in the imperial capital, which was developing more than Illukite. For better or worse, the labyrinth nucleus is inhabited by a living human personality. It was the failure of Emperor Amshas, who had lost sight of the matter.

Above all, the emperor's administration was too busy to lay down in the labyrinth nucleus.

"It felt like a betrayal to a labyrinth that had been abandoned even though we had worked together to cut ourselves to the point of building an empire."

Gradually, hatred for Emperor Amshas turned into hatred for the Gardis Empire itself, which he had in his hands by abandoning himself.

Hate long enough for a country to be built was enough time to hate the country itself.

"He wanted to build an empire in the first place because he was dissatisfied with the status quo where he was a prince but not noticed by anyone. Because I found out in a book in the royal castle that my country, Ilkite, was once such a great power that I couldn't beat Wingle, and I thought about reclaiming my former glory."

It was because I sympathized with that thought that the labyrinth nucleus thought of helping Prince Amshas as the labyrinth lord.

Initially, each other's interests were in agreement.

But Prince Amshas was betrayed where his purpose was achieved only in part.

"He's not a clean, white person. I want someone to mind, but if you can use your skills to trample someone else's thoughts, you can easily throw away your collaborators."

That's the way I see it worn. Emperor Amshas should have had his own ideas and had to leave the position of the Labyrinth Lord, and it is an unmistakable fact that the Gardis Empire was confused at the time.

Still, for the labyrinth nucleus, I was betrayed so much that I resented it, I thought.

And Emperor Justios is severely upset by being poked at facts he didn't know about Emperor Amshas, whom he admired. Usually, I guess I wouldn't get that upset where it was explained, but now that I'm cornered, I honestly take the word for it because I can't afford the mental.

"Oh no... you know, only people do that..."

Emperor Justios with a dark, depressed face.

"Nice."

Zeon laughed unconsciously when he saw it.

"Some conditions were sticking out as I became a labyrinth lord. One of them is to see your desperate face in front of you. The labyrinth nucleus should be looking at your face through me. He inherits Emperor Amshas' blood thickly, and the face you two melons despair of seems the best. I haven't stopped laughing yet."

Revenge plays by labyrinth nukes and labyrinth lords who resented the country itself.

It was made here now.

"That's outrageous."

He grips his fist, looks up and stares.

"Resentment. We understand that ourselves. But even if it was a rebellion, it doesn't change that it's a resentment. You understand a little bit of our hatred."

I stare back at Emperor Justios, who really stares at me with a caged eye of hatred.

Justios, who had been decided to become emperor since his birth, had never received a serious intention to kill. But for the first time, he was tightening his chest touching his strong desire to "kill him if he wasn't restricted".

"It's good for me to be unhappy"

"Oh......!

"But you didn't have to make the people unhappy."

Ultimately, it will be a place where millions live and a loss of their previous lives to wander about.

I mourned as emperor that I had made all those casualties.

"What the hell kind of grudges do you have against them?

"You don't understand. I'm not interested in the people of the Gardis Empire. We resent the empire itself. The country just died, and you're free to do what you do after that.

And it's up to you, the Emperor, to take care of them. "

"Become...!

"Now our original purpose has been achieved. I'm going to leave it up to you to decide what to do."

Shh, he disappears just like he did when he showed up.

It's like you weren't there from the beginning.
