"Princess, please let me talk to you now!

"It's tough. I never talk to Master William."

Imperial City, hallway.

Yumilia Zagsonia, the first princess of the Zagsonia Empire with her samurai. Because of its beauty, a young knight stood in front of Yumilia, called 'Silver Rose', interfering with her going any further.

He is Deputy Commander of the Zagsonian Empire Sorcery Knights, Mage A minus, William McNael.

Until recently, it was someone that Yumilia had been thinking about.

But now Yumilia had switched from him and was obsessed with Lute Gunsmith, head of the PEACEMAKER (Peacemaker) delegation.

Yumilia turns her cold gaze toward William.

"I'm busy. It is today that we will do whatever we can to overcome Maya's obstruction and invite Master Lute to the Tea Party. So stay out of the way."

"Huh..."

Clearly rejected, William unbearably opens the way.

Yumilia doesn't care at all for the look on his wounded face and takes the samurai along the hallway just now.

I haven't been able to attend a tea party at all lately and I haven't been able to appeal to myself. It must be today if we don't lure Lute out, and Yumilia is willing.

William stares at that back with dark eyes.

(... how did this happen)

Of course I understand the cause.

It's because of my own faults.

Originally Yumilia had been decided to marry the next king of the great Meltia, Lance Meltia, but the demon king Regrottarier killed Lance.

Marriage becomes blank.

The two should have been secretly attracted to each other to hang up William's consolation of his beloved Lance dying and being depressed.

But Yumilia is about to be politically married to draw the military power of PEACEMAKER (Peace Maker), headed by Lute, into the Empire.

At first, she had refused to marry Lute politically.

So William signed up for a mock fight with Lute at the PEACEMAKER welcome party.

As an Imperial Military Department, he said, 'The Empire doesn't need to take in external military forces or anything!' to show that, to save Yumilia from a political marriage that she did not want.

At the time, therefore, his morale was high and he said, "You can never beat an army (Legion) that uses demonic magic tools! 'I was intent.

But the result is a tragic failure.

Before I fought Lute, I was defeated by three of his daughters-in-law at the training ground.

The last duel, the other blow - it was like a giant cylinder monster that you couldn't stand to lose consciousness.

The youngest & fastest to reach the Knights of Imperial Magic, an elite floral unit in the Empire, is William McNael, who was even given two names as the next captain's guaranteed 'Thousand Blades'.

Worst of all, Demon King Legrottarier raids the training station.

I tried to take Yumilia away as a hostage.

In the meantime, he fainted and continued to white-eyed.

While William was passing out, Lute helped her and defeated the Demon King even more.

Now the imperial army and William's ments are rounded up.

Rather than accomplishing the original goal of 'not requiring the empire to take in external military forces, etc.,' it is tantamount to giving it a great name to draw in.

I even nauseate at my big breakdown.

For a while William was unable to move off the spot.

But he's also not free enough to keep going after the Empress forever.

In the afternoon, William heads to a certain mansion within the Empire.

The mansion is large enough to enter the five fingers within the Empire, simple but well made, and the artwork and conditioning placed inside is beautifully unified. You'll soon realize that even one pot decorated in the hallway is good enough to buy a civilian's life if someone you know sees it.

Noteworthy, however, are not the size of the mansion, the price of the works of art, or the well-educated servants.

It is a sense of heavy pressure that surrounds the entire mansion.

It's as if this mansion is the only place where gravity is so different from the outside that it feels so heavy on your body.

William has been here many times since he was a kid, but he's still unfamiliar with this sense of pressure.

He guides his servants to the study where the Lord of the Mansion is located.

"Excuse me."

Upon entering the study, an old man grabbed a book in front of a bookshelf lined up on the wall and was reading it as he opened it.

He shelves his reading book to a good point when he sideways confirms that William has entered the study.

"Well done, William. Have a seat."

"Yes, excuse me"

William follows the instructions and sits on the couch.

Just a maid visits the room with incense tea.

At the end of the meal, I left the room graciously.

After the door closes for about ten seconds, William gives the documents he brings to the person sitting on the front sofa.

"I would like to report that we have a breakdown of troop contributors from various countries. I think the commander's battle power ratio was almost as instructed. Here are the details."

"Hmm..."

The person William called 'the captain' takes the documents offered.

He is the one who heads the Imperial Zagsonia Imperial Sorcery Knights.

Race, Mage A Plus, Racis Dance.

Two names are called "Synthetic Biologists (Chimera Makers)" and are feared within and outside the Empire.

He can create as many creatures as he wants with magic. Because of this, we can create organisms that are prepared for their advantages.

Also because of the magic mass, you can end up with a suicide bomber.

Even if you let it blow itself up, it is created by the magic of Racis, which makes it possible to call it back soon.

Until magic reaches the bottom, of course.

When it comes to preschool, it doesn't fade into muscle or skin tension. Her eyes are as thin as a razor and her hair is all-back.

Not on the strong side, but there is a business yakuza force because of what the Knights do, etc. His air is propagating and the interior of the mansion is suffering heavily.

With such a gaze that he confirms this month's ascent, he glances through the documents given to him by William.

The following are the forces of the Coalition of Races participating in the Battle against the Demon King Legrottarier:

20,000 kingdoms, 1,000 of them magicians.

20,000 empires, of which 1,500 are magicians (including magic knights).

There are 10,000 soldiers from other countries.

- A total of 50,000 troops.

The kingdom side had appealed to the imperial side to involve more soldiers of its own army.

Because this battle is a mourning battle to take Lance's enemy, who was the next king of his country.

With the great nickname "Enemy of Lance."

In fact, it is clear from everyone's eyes that the aim is to strengthen their own national combat forces, as soldiers in their own armies increase the chances of taking the Demon King's neck at all.

But that's not just the kingdom.

The Empire also wants to get that in its own country.

Because if the Demon King can be decapitated, the country can monopolize the honor of the Five Kinds of Brave Men.

Given the national interest, it is natural to aim.

For that reason, the Empire had taken the initiative arguing that 'because of the problems within its own territory, restrictions would be placed on the participation of soldiers from other countries'.

Thanks to this, we were able to rub the kingdom against the battle ratio and finally find a drop point recently. That power ratio could have been almost close to what Racis, the commander of the regiment, had presented.

When he finishes checking the paperwork, he puts it on the table without changing his expression.

"... good luck with the report, Deputy Commander"

"Yes, I'm afraid so."

"From here on out, then, we talk about the Knights' captain, relatives, not deputy captains. Let's stop being tough."

"... ok, on Oji"

Laesis and William are remotely but relatives to each other.

For that reason William had visited this mansion once a year since he was a child.

But no matter how many times I've been here, I'm never used to the heaviness of the mansion.

"Have you been able to talk to the Empress today?

"No...... sorry"

"It's a problem for the Empress at all."

Racis sighs at the princess's loving personality.

It was Raysis who used his personality to bring William, the most popular man in the empire, closer to her and fall in love with her.

Racis tells it with a tentative sense of security that tells the story of tomorrow's weather.

"William, you take this demon king's neck."

"Ozi... you make it very easy to say"

"I'm only going to give instructions to those who are capable of achieving it."

And - and Racis continues.

"I think once again the princess will turn her eyes to you if you become the brave one who took over the Demon King. What do you think?

"Huh!"

William breathes in the words.

It was Raesis who used the position of Commander of the Sorceress Knights to bring William and Yumilia closer together.

His aim, it is to connect William to Yumilia and push William up to the throne of the Emperor.

And I'm trying to manipulate William out of the shadows and essentially take over the real power of the Empire.

The current emperor's attempts to capture PEACEMAKER (Peacemaker) also have the effect of reducing the influence of the Imperial Army - essentially the Raisis.

William is no fool either.

Laesis is too old and marrying Yumilia herself is a bad scandal. So I also understand that I am using myself.

I knew it, but I got on with it. Because William truly loves Yumilia Zagsonia, the first princess of the Zagsonia Empire, Silver Rose.

When I found out I had decided to get engaged to Lance, I was so desperate that my heart was about to break.

And then when Lance died and Yumilia told me that she 'loved' herself, I felt so much like I was about to go to Heavenly God.

William wanted to be united with the Empress of Yumilia, even if he was only used as a pawn in the struggle for power.

Laesis understands that very well. So I told him again.

"William, take the neck of the Demon King Legrottarier. And let the eyes of Empress Yumilia turn to you again."

"... ok, oj. I will do everything in my power to take the Demon King's neck in this battle."

William nods with his hard determined eyes.

Racis nodded satisfactorily at the words.

And then about a month later - the Coalition of Races marched from the Empire to crusade the Demon King Legrottarier.

As the ears and eyes gathered in the demon king Legrottarier, there was a shadow that moved in confusion.

"Well, shall we go to Hachihara (01) HQ first? Let's try to save the princess."

"Yes, Master Lance"

Ex-Dimensional King of the Great Mertier, Race and Mage A Plus Class, Lance Mertier.

Lara Enor Memea, 1st Princess of Enor, Kingdom of High Elves.

Two shadows overlooked the original (01) headquarters.
