Heavenly Castle

[Aifa]

Two wind blades sharp enough to tear everything apart. I flew in here with a crack in the surrounding wall, which I prevented in inches.

Already, we are running out of strength and magic.

Two men standing in the back of the aisle laughed at me as I walked with one hand on the wall and my legs pulled together with my back rounded forward leaning position.

"You've been exposed to a lot of strangeness, Lord Aifa?

"I've never seen you like that before."

The two men in the court magician's robe throw such a voice from behind a line of heavily armed infantry with a large shield.

If you're gonna slap a big mouth, try it right in front of me.

I'd say so, but honestly, I appreciate the way things are now.

The emperor, who suddenly decided that I was rebelling and taking away the elves of the Empire, decided to crush them with the power of numbers.

And it seems that the Tiger Child's Kingsguard and senior knight, as well as the court magician, placed them around themselves and around the outer perimeter of the castle, and dealt with them so that I could not escape.

"Phew..."

Unexpectedly, laughter leaks.

I don't want to survive from the start.

As long as the families are safe, there's nothing wrong with that.

For me, a situation like this time-consuming strangulation is a development I rightly hoped for.

"What are you laughing at... Huh!?

To a man who noticed a laugh and tried to raise his voice, I use my unarmed magic to fly small chunks of ice. The man, who usually knows my powers, showed the utmost vigilance to such a small degree of ice and was in a hurry to tie the line.

"Ku, kuku..."

I laugh again at the way it looks.

"... Apparently, he's already lost his mind. Heavy Infantry Regiment! Step forward one by one!

The decree sounds, and soldiers of armor, as if they were chunks of iron, walk out here. It's hard and heavy, it's a rugged footstep. The heavily armed infantry is equipped with a large shield and armor with resistance to witchcraft.

Originally, they avoid fighting from the front and are physically opponents using golems, pitfalls, and rockfall.

It wouldn't have been a problem if it was in the woods of my hometown, but in a place like this I can say it's the worst opponent.

Now, how much time can you buy this opponent in his current state?

This is my last battlefield.

[Yuri]

I am now at a turning point in history.

A useful emperor who pushed the Empire into a mighty existence will replace it with the next generation. The person who will also be the next emperor is Schwartz Blau, the Crown Prince, once stripped of his right to inherit the throne.

Prudent If he became emperor, an empire that had continued to invade would stop pitaling and territorial expansion.

I don't know if that would be a good result for the Empire. However, for the neighbouring countries, good results will certainly come for the Frieder countries.

You should make a big loan here to someone who will be emperor later.

"Dear Yuri. They're all headed downstairs now."

And I looked up when Ditzen called me.

"Oh? When did you guys... think a little too much"

Saying that and laughing bitterly, Dizen laughs like trouble.

"Well, we're like an omelet. Because I only have enough work to cover when I have to."

That's all I said, Ditzen laughed and went down the stairs.

Dizen is sweet. I liked research and could be a magician who would be allowed to allocate the state budget for it. If I were you, I'd want to go to the lab. But now he's reluctantly trying to help Aifa and Schwartz in good faith.

Neither I nor Brother Yanual can think of whether or not it would be in the interests of the Empire from the corner of my head.

That's what an exchanger would be.

That's why our brothers and sisters love Dizen, who can help people purely.

And that was what Master Tyki also felt,

Living in the kingdom of the sky, the king of the sky.

It would also be possible to put the world in its hands if we wanted to. But I can't feel that kind of greed at all.

That's true about Aifa this time. It must also be possible to get the Spirit Tree after hearing Aifa's wishes and take away the Empire just like it was.

But Master Taiki avoids war with the Empire, taking into account not only the elves, but also the Atul kingdom.

"A strange man,"

Unexpectedly, those words leaked out of my mouth.

As I descend the stairs, I recall the dishes and castle amenities that Master Taiki spoke happily about.

Not at all king, kind man.

What do you think and do when this empire changes?

For me, that's all I care about as much as the end of the empire.

To confirm that, we must save Aifa and the Elves and revolutionize the Empire.

"... you never thought you'd be involved in this"

So groaned, I followed Dizen with one smile on my face.
