Hero without Blood or Tear

* * *

There was a riot in Prague, the capital of Bohemia. I enjoyed watching the fierce struggle on the fourth floor of the plaza. Fighting is supposed to be the funniest.

“The Divine Justice Reuben fits right in! ”

“Shut up! This is where the Shinigami of Light stood for centuries! What a bunch of assholes! ”

There was blood in Prague's central square. Starting with someone pulling out their sword, the pistol bursts into flames.

Ta-ang! Bang!

The gentlemen with the pistols around their waists quickly hide themselves and shoot at the target. There are white smoke everywhere.

“That's fucked up.”

“A honeymoon's dream ends soon. Merge.”

“It wasn't the right couple to start with. ”

King Friedrich and his followers were in constant conflict with the Bohemian Parliament. Such a dispute between the emerging forces and the old forces took many forms.

“A while back, you were fighting over which side to seat the Commander-in-Chief of the Bohemian Army, but now it's a religion. ”

Bohemia flourishes in the Faithful Martha of Light. Friedrich's forces from Pfalz, on the other hand, serve Luuben the Divine Truth. Eventually, there was a little fight going on, but today was the day.

The king's commanders removed the statue of the Shinigami of Light in Prague's Central Plaza, and instead tried to erect the statue of Justice's Statue of Ruben.

Of course, the people of Prague were fierce and rioted. Then King Friedrich realized he was reckless, but the situation was already uncertain.

“Merge.”

“Huh? What's the matter, moonlight. ”

“You sound like someone else. Isn't it the unity that compelled the men of Pfalz to erect the statue of the righteous Reuben? ”

“I said it with good intentions. Who told you to fight amongst yourselves? ”

When I said I didn't do anything wrong, you said so yourself.

“Bohemia just keeps getting worse. ”

“More outside Prague. When you get out of the city, you can immediately experience war. Devastated villages, fields, children who lost their parents... ”

At that, I shrugged.

“I hope Roelin has a lot of work to do. ”

It wasn't just Bohemia that broke. The position of Emperor Franz IV is increasingly favorable. He was mortgaged to cover the endless drainage of imperial property.

“The emperor's power is getting weaker. Nowadays, even when we issue a decree, the Empress says she sleeps. ”

“The whole empire will fall apart. It was a crude group to call it an empire. ”

This country is an empire of words, and words are emperors.

Together, the number of local governments in the empire is over 2,000. About 300 of them can be tied down in a military relationship with the Alliance.

It was not a country that was going well in the first place. Legislation was impossible because of the knowledge between local governments. The administration was clumsy, and the corrupt and impetuous were slammed together.

It is the emperor's power to force all of this. Ancient emperors ruled the empire with coercive decrees.

Franz IV didn't just use the knight families to shut down the economy. Normal administrative procedures make it impossible to use force.

But I didn't have to tell you that the Emperor was falling apart and the Empire was falling apart.

“The emperor will try to negotiate. ”

“I'm anticipating. But we have to do something about this. If you want to negotiate, you can pretend to negotiate. ”

The only choice in this fight was the death of the Emperor and me.

* * *

I had a nightmare a few days later.

“Ugh... Ugh! ”

Eventually, I got up after installing the dragonflies and drank wine. Then I looked out the window and almost dropped my glass.

“What the...! ”

The night sky was all red. It seemed as if the entire empire was on fire. I was the only one who felt the ideals, and the citizens of Prague were out in their pajamas murmuring. The air was disgusting today. It's like a bunch of rotten garbage from afar.

“Merge!”

The moonlight rushes into the room.

“You're awake.”

You nod, open the window, and head out onto the terrace.

“That's very ominous. ”

“Do you understand what happened together? ”

I had a hunch. But before I could say anything, the whole world shook.

Kyahhhhhhhh!

The inexplicable existence was crying out. The citizens of Prague, who had come out, sat in surprise. Some screamed, some ran away. It was just a bunch of people who burst into tears, shivering.

“Something's howling. Like, really pissed off? ”

I nodded my head in recognition of the moonshine.

“Another Guardian is dead. The sudden release of the seal makes the struggling death angry. I'm worried. I can feel the power of death struggling even more clearly. ”

I was trying to break his seal at the request of the one crouching in the grave, but I was wondering if I could let the transcendent go.

“I have something to report. I think that's what happened. ”

Daltagnan has set up a branch throughout the Empire to gather information. I came here with urgent information from sources all over the country.

“It is said that a volcano erupted in the Eiffel Plateau. ”

“What? I thought it was a volcano, but suddenly.... ”

“And the ports in the north were devastated by the sudden tidal wave. ”

“ ……. ”

“As well as the enormous horsepower that once devastated Gloria Lumiere, there are sightings of empires everywhere. ”

It was news that there was a disaster on the line. I sighed deeply.

“The empire is about to fall apart. ”

I've asked Dalthagnan to see if my territory is safe and to contact Callione.

- Calliope, where are you?

- Oh, my God. I was going to call you.

When I asked where it was, it was a city called Garen Wick. I couldn't use the Shadow Dimension Movement because I had never been there. We can't. We have to talk to the crystal ball.

- Did you kill Patale Monstrom?

- Yeah, I killed him. But there was a commotion. Currently, the Mosel River is suddenly flooded and the Fire Horses are swept down in droves.

- Any friendlies?

- We've seen the damage, but we're good to go. I was completely lucky.

Callione, however, said that she tried to take Patale Monstrom captive, as previously mentioned.

- She was unwilling to kill.

How was it?

According to Callione, Patale Monstrom knew that if all the Guardians died, the stampeding seal of death would be released. That's why I tried to stop the seals from coming off.

- I felt a mission from her. I heard he was originally a freelancer. But things have changed since I became a Guardian.

- Hmm…….

Now I remember. Patale Monstrom wanted freedom enough to get her maid married for him. What changed her that much?

- He never said he shouldn't die. A great evil will be unleashed.

It was a virtue to be a Guardian and protect the Seal.

She must have a story of her own. The princess must have run out of her place and gone through a lot. And I finally accepted the position of guardian.

I think it was because of the strength to protect myself as a Guardian that he wanted to inherit the power that had fled. But you didn't know that Callione, the enemy of the truce, was targeting the Guardians.

- But Lord, I couldn't explain it to her. The fact that the Lord is trying to break the seal because of the one crouching in the grave contains many secrets.

The one crouching in the grave will turn Likentiatus into powder unless you break the Seal of Death.

But there were too many secrets to divulge to convince Patale Monstrom. Calliope gave up his convincing and just killed him.

- You handled it wisely, Callione.

This reminded me of Falke the Swordsman. I had faith and courage, but it was the same in that I was stupid.

Honestly, it wasn't that compassion didn't happen. I couldn't go with them, but I didn't leave my mind.

But soon, I shook my head. We can't jeopardize the planet just to save one.

- I'm glad the Lord told you that.

- I'll take care of it.

Those who crouch in graves will be satisfied with this, but the world is falling further and further away.

With another Guardian dead, there should be a reaction in the Dark Ages to serve the struggling death. It could come in contact with this.

However, my expectations were not rewarded after a few days. Instead, the emperor unexpectedly sent his wife to congratulate him.

“The Duke of Wittenbier-Basel merged. ”

“Welcome. ”

I received an envoy from the Emperor in the Prague Chamber.

“Your Majesty, here is your assessment of the nature of the world. It's not a conflict with Bohemia, it's a conflict with the Duke. ”

“I'm just a guest in Bohemia, and you're overestimating me. ”

“Let's talk in the practical sense. His Majesty is ready to accept most of the demands of unity. ”

The emperor has offered many carrots for reconciliation. There was another transfer of the imperial territory in the northern part of the empire, and I was surprised.

He wants to end the war, even if he cuts off all his hands and feet. But he was always more than I thought he would be.

“Haha, if you agree to the meeting, the emperor promised Shenyang 10 years later. ”

“To give me the throne. ”

“That's right.”

You really pulled out everything you could. Of course, the emperor's position is determined by pre-emptive voting, so we can't vote because we want to vote.

However, the emperor has considerable power to appoint an heir. If we don't quarrel with the Emperor on a pre-emptive basis, we'll accept it.

It's obvious in the political rationale.

“Your Grace is very deep. ”

The horse rolls its head into the ground while doing so. Why do I have such sweet conditions?

It seemed like I was trying to miss something. However, I actively negotiated with the Secretary without showing any discomfort at all.

That's why this conversation seemed to take place immediately.

* * *

“Duke Wittenbier-Basel has responded to the conference. ”

Emperor Franz IV ridicules his subordinate.

“That greedy bastard finally took the bait. ”

Of course, the emperor had no intention of surrendering to Balasted. It's just a two-faced tactic.

“Send the best diplomats to Prague. Stall them as if they were liver, gallbladder and everything. ”

The conditions of reconciliation were not simple. Complex legal review required both territorial awards and merit. Both sides will meet secretly, pushing and pulling for a long time.

“The damned Duke Vitenbier-Basel is not to be trifled with by anyone in the empire without greed. I'm sure I'll pick up every last peg on the border. It'll be a good time. ”

“Indeed, it is. Your Majesty."

“Then go and blind him as much as you can. ”

The emperor, who had sent all his officials away, went into the locker room and took out a large, black crystal ball. The user summons the target with its magical power.

- Schwarzetoifel.

This Black Crystal Ball was connected only to the dragon. A short time later, I heard an answer.

What brings you to the Emperor? I don't suppose it's in your nature to say hello.

- I'm sorry, but I have a favor to ask. Schuberzetoifel.

- Tell me.

The emperor explained the politics of the empire and said he wanted to reconcile with Balasted.

- I was talking to the milkman recently, and he's not usually a hard-ass. I need you to help me.

- Hmm…….

The emperor pressures the opponent with past events after Schwarzetoifel's unthinkable response.

- You told him I was a dragon once. There's been a lot of trouble since then.

- Hmmm!

The question became clear that Schwarzetoifel had done something wrong.

- I didn't know it was gonna be you and him at the time.

- I'm not blaming you anymore. Just help me sew it up. That's it. I need you to intervene. So that we can make peace.

The emperor and Ballersted have made a connection thanks to Schwarzetoifel. So he seemed like a good fit to settle this argument.

- Hmm... It's hard to ignore something like this.

- Thank you. Do you mind if I go to your nest? I'll also discuss my work.

It's been a long time since I've had a good drink.

So, the communication with the crystal ball is over.

“Phew... ”

The emperor sighed. The conversation is spontaneous. There's nothing suspicious about the opposing Pokémon.

Thanks to an unsettled mural, I was able to buy time against Ballersted and go to see Schwarzetoifel.

“Ballerstead, think about the conditions of your anger. ”

The emperor strokes the dagger on the table with a grim face. It was poisoned by a deadly dragon. With this one blow, his enemies will lose their most powerful alliance.

“Then I will be his incarnate and tear you apart. ”

The empire was no longer the concern of the Emperor. It was a priority to ascend to the divine existence of the struggling incarnation of death. Compared to him, his obsession with the Empire was infinitely light.

The emperor finds Balerstead tied to the bargain and makes his move.

“A brief moment is enough to move through history. ”
