The day before the battle council, this was roughly the conversation between the Emperor and Yurius in secret.

“For an opportunity to create a personal force? ”

“That's right.”

The emperor gave a serious look. because he knew what he was talking about.

“The Grand Duke is not the kind of guy who likes to push. I appreciate your talents, but I hear there's been another dangerous situation. ”

Yurius opens his mouth again with a stiff expression.

“But I think it's better than a civil war. ”

However, the emperor refused again with a determined tone.

“This is for your own safety. You can't stay in the capital alone, and the Grand Duke will keep trying to kill you, but you won't see that coming! ”

The Grand Duke was already on a blatant march. I dare not touch him inside the capital, but what guarantee do I have that something like this will not happen again in the North?

Yurius laughs as he hears it.

“So if you have the ability to protect my body, you can grant me permission? ”

“Yes, but outside the capital... Huh? ”

The emperor's eyes tighten. It is because Yurius, who had just disappeared before his eyes.

"Are you seeing things now because of your age? ’

“ ……? ”

But Yurius appeared again to him one day.

“Hmm……. ”

The emperor groans. He also has a considerable level of knighthood education. No matter how old you are, you can't miss someone disappearing in front of you.

It is natural for an unmanned person to be able to do this with only one possibility. The emperor looks at Yurius with a surprised look.

“I heard you had no weapons, but have you already arrived? ”

“That's what you think. ”

Yurius told the Emperor about his four-step breach, except for the contents of the player's system.

Then the emperor realized roughly why Yurius was able to establish an excellent specialty.

“But that's not the point. ”

Yurius begins to persuade the Emperor once again of the dangers of a civil war.

“We could really tear the empire in half if we had to. ”

To be honest, the emperor was not afraid at all. Why was he called the Emperor of Iron for nothing? However, unlike my inner self, I nodded with a happy expression.

“Then try it your way. But if I don't think you can handle it, I will make you the Crown Prince and strike the Duke. ”

In fact, the biggest reason the emperor opposed was the safety of Yurius. However, if you are on the path of a superhuman, you may be much less worried about protecting your body.

There, he held the highest regard for Yurius' actions that had been concealed so far.

‘What you didn't tell me is a bit unsettling, but there was a reason for it, and most of all, I've broken the Grand Duke's plan once, so there's nothing wrong with trusting him. ’

Despite the Grand Duke's involvement in the North originally, it was thought that many coincidences overlapped, but it was as if the Grand Duke had actually been hit by the attack on Yurius.

‘Overall, I thought Leonhard was pushing your brilliance, but it turns out it wasn't.' ’

If you can do that at that age, you can trust him for a while.

Even after Yurius had finished speaking, the emperor still smiled gratefully and nodded his elongated head.

After the battle meeting that day, all but a few of the officials had to leave the war with a questionable look.

“If you give me the Crown Prince's throne, I'll give it to you. Why did He only separate the powers? ”

“Strange, isn't it? I'm surprised His Majesty didn't disagree.”

Even though it was still a knight, it was certainly one of the emperor's powers. Yurius is still young and will have many opportunities to study, but once he allows this permission, it won't be that difficult to have his own military power like the Grand Duke.

It's like the emperor appointed Yurius as his successor.

As the attendants expected, the emperor planned to increase Yurius' power gradually. In doing so, the Crown Prince was not the only name, but in the end, the family tree was more likely to harden.

Of course, this is the story of a time when Yurius was able to resist the Grand Duke's intervention. He had negotiated something, but the Grand Duke was on his way.

‘I really need to call Wallace and make sure he's blamed. What the hell have you seen in over a decade? ’

He avoided the worst of civil war, but the Grand Duke was not amused at all.

* * *

Yurius, on the other hand, had been as he intended, but he had one question in his conversation with the Emperor.

‘Your correction is good, but at this point, did you feel well enough to think about starting a war? ’

According to previous life memories, it will be six years from now that he sits on the throne of the emperor. However, unlike the emperor at the time he knew, this time he thought too hard.

"Is there a reason for the death of Abaemama? ’

It's usually a ridiculous story. As far as he knew, his father, the current emperor, died of old age and was acknowledged by the Church of the God of Healing.

But it's not like nothing ever goes wrong in the world.

Isn't that the case for you right now? Player? Childhood regression? In fact, I would never believe it if I told anyone.

‘I need to keep an eye on him. I don't know what will happen to the statue of Avamar. ’

With the emperor's permission, the creation of the knights was quick.

“Relocate the residence of First Prince Yurius to the Celeste and have the Knights and their escorts accompany you there! ”

The Elles Star Palace is a palace just a short distance from the capital. It was rarely used, but at the same time, it was a fortified city on its way to the capital, and the facilities to garrison the military were well-equipped.

As the emperor, he can't take down the land, but he has laid the foundation for creating his own power. In the future, as he builds the ball, it will be possible to scale up.

Yurius was grateful for the emperor's consideration and began the work of making knights.

‘First of all, the filling of the knights is a problem...... ’

Once he and the Knights of the North were all supposed to enter under his command. Their loyalty and skill is unparalleled.

However, they do not have enough to call themselves Knights, so they plan to recruit a considerable number of people at this opportunity.

‘I wish I had a good talent. ’

[The first prince is recruiting knights to lead him.]

Once the notice was posted, the supporting documents started pouring out everywhere.

However, even after seeing the amount of paperwork piled up, Yurius shakes his head.

"The majority of the already skilled knights are affiliated. In fact, it doesn't mean much if you put them together like this. ’

It is hard to believe that the Crown Prince's personal knights are as charming as the historic proximal knights or the central knights for his rise.

‘If only we could filter them out and gather all the potential people and train them harshly. ’

However, the knights brought from the north were quite honorable and comforting.

‘First, we have to decide on a proposal. ’

The recruitment of knights is supported, so if you want a small number of volunteers, you can do it.

“Lord Haynes will take care of it for now. ”

“I understand.”

The answer does not come in a humble manner. In fact, there was an implicit agreement between the knights who followed Yurius.

‘As the Knight Leader, the best candidates must take over. None of us are better suited than Sir Haynes. ’

Then it's time to decide on the deputy director. This is also the right person.

“And the X.O. is Lord Rinfield, you! ”

Rinfield is also a brilliant and brilliant knight. With his ability as an assistant, there was a belief that he would support the ordinary Heines.

“Thank you for the heavy lifting, Your Majesty! ”

‘So far it's been decided, but then it's a problem. ’

Thinking about it, Yurius felt his head twitching again.

Of course, at the end of her gaze is the woman standing with the other knights.

Beatrice volunteered to enter when his knights were founded.

Of course, I was going to refuse at first.

“Lizzy, now that you've built up your hands-on experience and established your work, it's better to return to the Holy Land and focus on your training.“ ”

“I'm sorry. I'd still like to stay in the Empire. ”

It is a clear expression of rejection. In fact, I didn't think it would be this stubborn, so I sent a letter to the Holy Nation.

[Duke, your daughter has escaped. Aren't you taking her?]

At this point, he didn't worry much.

"If that duc is the one, what chance do we have to take her?" ’

However, unlike Urius' expectations, the answer was respectful, but in summary, it came as follows:

[Hmmm... We are faced with a famous dancer, but I don't think we can bring back the ceremony of joining a foreign knight. He's a minor, but please take good care of him.]

In fact, Duke Dios of the Holy Nation was smiling. Well, isn't everything resolved? If you pushed me to stay in the Empire, I pushed you. I don't intend to let you return to the Holy Land.

But Yurius is baffled.

This isn't it. ’

Duke Dios thought he could take her by force, but his predictions were off. Eventually, the plan to return her to the Holy Land had to be completely neutralized.

‘Well, maybe her will is too stubborn, and I'd rather keep her under someone else's thumb. ’

There was also a plus factor in her excellence. In fact, if you think about his plans in the future, no matter how many people you have, you will not have enough talent.

“Lizzy, you can take on one of the squad leaders. I know it's not a good fit, but I think I need to gain more experience. ”

In fact, Beatrice is a little better than Haines. However, the decision was made because he was young and considering the confluence with the knights, it is still a premature decision to rise to the top.

“I understand.”

She has also not come to the Empire solely for advancement, so I kindly agree.

In addition, Yurius pre-appointed several verified articles to the squadron leader, completing a simple draft.

“Then let's focus on training for now. We'll see how many new recruits we can recruit later! ”

He was still weak compared to the Grand Duke, but he was increasingly increasing his people in this way.
