We visited Imperial Capital again... and Lionel was in a lot of trouble, to be exact.
It was not the military who welcomed us back to the Imperial capital, but the civilians, starting with the Prime Minister, who moves with the national interests of the Empire in mind.
Besides, it goes without saying that it was very troublesome because it even showed up to the nobility to ask where it came from.
In their perception, Lionel is still the general of the Empire.
Rumors were spreading that Lionel had pressed the Emperor to cede the Emperor's throne to His Highness Alberto.
I don't know who circulated such rumors, but there was such a thing, and it was an anomaly where the prime minister's civilians and nobles in Imperial Capital met together.
Lionel had guessed that the majority of its purpose was to gather to figure out what Lionel was going to do.
Well, I don't even know that...
Normally, no matter how many generals, if they pressed for a concession, it would naturally be in conspiracy that the crime of national treason would apply.
But if the Emperor and His Royal Highness Alberto and Lionel went to the battlefield together shortly afterwards, the story would change again.
Since Lionel was a minister of the Empire and a master of the martial arts of His Highness Alberto, it is judged that a relationship of trust has already been established….
If His Royal Highness Alberto, who was suddenly rumored to have been abandoned, were to become emperor, Lionel would have the best force and voice in the empire.
It seems that some of those who try to figure it out in a variety of ways think that Lionel's actions may have been conceived by the Emperor with his knowledge or by the Emperor...
This event was supposed to have considerable significance in the struggle for power within the Empire, more than the war with the Kingdom of Louburg.
Whether or not we can capture Lionel will change our future dramatically, so naturally...
When I was a general of the Lionel Empire, I never built a faction or entered, always rushing around the battlefield and not engaging in national politics as a samurai.
“So no one in the empire will know me in depth." Lionel had earlier credited himself with that.
Needless to say, it was His Highness Alberto who created this troublesome situation, by the way.
Despite the emperor lying beside him, he imitated me and Lionel in front of his prime minister and nobility.
Because of that, even I... even got our attention.
By the way, it was His Highness Alberto, who bought Forenoir's wrath right after this and was kicked in the back leg, but there were no civilian and imperial nobles, including the Prime Minister, who moved poorly than he could tell our relationship.
I don't know if I'm firmer than I thought or if I consider His Highness Alberto to be a Lionel puppet (a crock)......
And in the meantime, Lionel was going to explain everything.
The emperor sits on the throne, next to him His Highness Alberto stands, and on the other side Lionel stands.
This time, Doran is joining us, so the ship is in the magic bag.
As a matter of course, Forenoir was also following him, attracting considerable attention from his rarity, but he let the magic formation unfold against those who sought to come near him, intimidating him and leaving him with nothing to approach.
And Lionel started talking slowly.
"I have lived in this empire, fought for the empire, and fought if I could be the empire's foundation for the future. There is not a single penance there. But His Majesty betrayed me and joined hands with those who manipulated the demons of the Principality of Brange to harm me."
Then the place makes a scene all at once.
But Lionel takes control of it with his hands and goes on with the words.
"I was poisoned on the battlefield nearly three years ago and my leg tendon was amputated. That is by order of His Majesty who is here. Then, after being targeted for my life, I became a slave at the end of my escape"
Everyone doubts their ears on Lionel's monologue.
Well, the cloud was turning, so I know how that feels.
"I ask Luciel, the wise man who is lucky to be there in Yenis, to save this self, and from then on, I serve Luciel. That's why I wasn't the one the brothers know these days. So I'm not interested in the power of the empire that my brothers care about."
Then the old man, who had named the Chancellor, raised his hand and raised the question to Lionel.
"General, do you have any idea who the hell is replacing that general?
"He is a rare man from another realm: a reborn man born in the Duchy of Brange. Already this morning, the man also had the help of Luciel the Wise, and I dropped my neck. And the demonization plan that His Majesty and his men were pursuing already had everything destroyed."
"... but couldn't that have been increased to the military power of our country?
It was a man in his forties or so who looked good with the word warrior dressed in armor who raised his voice.
"Then you wanted to be a demon, a human weapon that lost all reason and emotion?
"No, that's..."
The man wandered off and lay down his face.
"The original Imperial Soldiers are those who devote their hearts and minds to the cause of the country, discipline themselves to defend the country, continue to train themselves in training after training, and demonstrate the strength of the Divine Soldiers on the battlefield. It is not obtained by evil law."
During the sight, he calmed down.
"As I said earlier, some of me have already resigned from the empire general. He now serves the wise Luciel as a squire and fights demons, demon kings and evil gods. So don't worry, there's nothing to do with the Empire."
But when Lionel was told that he was quitting the general, the military officials rushed out, but I guess that's natural.
Because Lionel's strength is what scratches the evil gods alongside his master...
"We talked for a long time, but His Majesty made the Empire even bigger with that knowledge, but he dyed his hands in the evil law and was on the verge of becoming a demon himself. That's why I made the Emperor of the Empire..."
Lionel looked at His Highness Alberto once and then shook his head, shifting his gaze further back and calling him that name.
"Until the Virgin Melfina is chosen, let us make it a vacancy, and let us advance that the top of each faction will fall into the operation of the country as it has always been, and let it be our last word as general of the Empire"
Huh!? That was a pretty unexpected development.
But for some reason, he started the Chancellor, and military officials were also giving him a soothing atmosphere.
With room for His Royal Highness Alberto, who seems to have burned out only one person, Lionel puts restraint on imperial officials.
"Oh, let me just give you one last piece of advice. If the next time the Empire dyes its hands of evil law, I think it will be the day when the Imperial Army will perish… next time it will not add or subtract, nor will it give while it regrets"
That's all I told you, Lionel slapped Lord Gladys on the shoulder he was on his way and seemed to be saying something.
And coming this way, Lionel laughed and said.
"Come on, let's get the hell out of the empire. The Empire won't be able to afford to worry about this one for the time being in the Empire," he said.
We went outside Imperial Castle laughing at Lionel's words like that, leaving the ship to escape into the sky.
