While talking to Neil, the carriage slowly slowed down and eventually stopped completely.

I think we've reached the camp today.

Almost at the same time that Leo said that, Luke, the boy priest, raised his voice from the outside and heard it.

It's Luke, Your Majesty.

Get in

"Excuse me."

With my forgiveness, the Emperor, Luke went into the carriage and laid flat on me.

"What's the matter?"

"It looks like we're at where we're camping today." I'll be ready to camp soon, so please be patient. "

Umu

I nodded, glanced towards Neil, and thought for a moment.

Let's take a little tour.

Visiting? For what?

"It's an alibi."

"Alibi...?"

Neil's face is more and more puzzling when he hears the explanation.

I put the ring in front of me, smiling. [M]

I remembered and summoned the Apopis.

Apopis dominates all poisons.

In this conscription, I used Apopis at night and drained it from the side of my body after drinking alcohol, so I was not drunk no matter how much I drank.

It is almost the opposite of (,,).

"Ugh..."

"Heh, Your Majesty...?"

Neil and Luke frowned at the same time.

Neil had a pretty direct reaction - even though he was in front of the Emperor, he had to pick his nose.

Did you properly sniff it out?

"It's not like I sniffed it out." What the hell is this alcoholic smell? It smells like a whole day spent in a sake barrel, doesn't it? "

Neil was good, and Luke nodded cheerfully.

"It's a little magic."

"Maybe... the Demon Sword of Leviathan?"

It's not Leviathan, but it's homogeneous.

Leviathan seemed to be protesting with pride, but he decided to do so for the sake of clarity.

Leviathan and Apopis are not so different from ordinary people.

It doesn't change to be a transcendent being, not a human being.

"Does that mean you can maneuver freely?"

Umu

"Wow... and it just smells like alcohol."

That's a good idea, that's what it is.

That's what I thought, Neil.

Yes, I ordered Apopis to smell of alcohol, but it was only the smell of alcohol.

Normally, if it's this tight, my feet will flutter, my thinking ability will decrease, and I won't be able to turn around, but there's nothing like that.

It's just the smell of alcohol.

I pulled up the carriage straight ahead. [M]

Neil and Luke followed in a hurry.

When I got off the carriage, 80% of the barracks were set up in the vast meadows.

I was a little surprised on the first day that the carriage had just stopped, but it was impossible for the Emperor to be at the top of the line, and the emperor = my carriage caught up with me when the vanguard was able to set it up to a certain extent.

I walked out without saying a word.

Neal gestured behind me and followed me with some soldiers.

Luke didn't follow.

Neil may have followed the escort, so he decided it wasn't his turn.

Anyway, I took Neil and the others and inspected them.

Most of the soldiers looked at me and bowed upright on the spot.

In normal times, the Emperor would bend his knees-kneeling practices, but in the army, maintaining a fighting posture was a priority, so it was decided that an upright salute would be good unless there was much to do.

That's why I could see the expression on his face.

About one in ten people, I can see that the emperor looks dissatisfied.

That's right.

I played with the woman until the morning every day, and sometimes I thought I showed my face, and the smell of alcohol came out.

It was only natural that the Emperor should be dissatisfied with it.

I was satisfied with the reaction.

As for Alice, if you show her, she'll recognize you as the Emperor.

For the rest, if you can find some spies among the soldiers, you won't have to tell me.

"Wait! What are you doing?"

Take it down!

Suddenly, I heard some disturbing noise from my direction of travel.

Shortly thereafter, a middle-aged soldier rushed in front of me and laid flat on the spot, holding back some soldiers.

I'm afraid so, Your Majesty!

Stop it!

"Come here!"

The soldiers who had been shaken off by the man caught up, grabbed his shoulders and arms and tried to make him stand, trying to take him away.

Good

I put my hand on it and I stopped it.

Huh?

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

The soldiers I stopped were unable to accept the situation at first, but if the Emperor wanted to, I simply let go and returned to the ranks of other soldiers, such as the Noderma.

What remained was a middle-aged soldier with his shoulders and arms gripped and pulled down, as if he had lowered his roots to the ground.

He was lying flat on his face and stared at me.

"Who are you?"

My name is Andy Hayden and I am the captain of the 2nd Centenary Army.

Hmm, what's the matter with the hundred-man captain?

"I'm afraid so, Your Majesty." We should send the exiled witch to the capital right now. "

Huh?

"That witch is a terrible thing for His Majesty." It may be a distant cause of defeat on your side. ”

"In other words, do you want to say that I'm depressed with female color?"

Eek!

Hundred Captains Andy breathed for a moment.

Because I questioned it in a slightly stronger tone.

But I only took a breath and bowed for a moment.

Andy gritted his teeth and gulped, then continued with a determined expression of readiness.

"If you lose yourself to a woman and make the wrong decision, you won't have time to enumerate!" As it is-- "

"Okay, okay."

I nodded tinyly.

Andy's prepared expression brightened for a moment.

"Did you understand?"

"Neil."

Huh? Huh!

You didn't think you could get water on yourself, did you? Neil responded to me for a moment.

"Capture this man."

"Huh? Huh... er, what's the charge?"

It's disrespect for the Emperor.

The surroundings were rough.

Neil used to stare at me, but eventually.

Will

Even so, he went to restrain Andy.

"Get off me! Wait!" I still need to talk-- "

"Shut your mouth and don't make me say anything more."

Hah!

Neil grasped Andy's abdomen accordingly.

Andy opened his eyes wide and said, "Haha! and then fainted and collapsed.

"Take her, I'll let you know."

Hah!

That's what Neil said and took Andy with him.

I kept looking around the whole army, unstoppable.

As expected, the second mouthpiece never came out.



At night, there was a carriage running backwards from the Emperor's conscription toward the capital.

On top of the carriage was Andy, who was unconscious, and Neil, who looked down on it.

There were several Knight Aspirants from the Duel Corps who were subordinates of Neil.

Andy woke up to the vibration of a carriage slowly reversing in the moonlight.

"Here... hah!"

Gotcha.

Andy stood up and looked around in amazement.

Don't worry, we're going back to the capital in a carriage.

"...... in the capital? Well, the restraint......"

Andy noticed something wrong with his body.

There is nothing to have.

Andy went straight to the Emperor Noah.

And I touched Noah's anger.

In that case, it's not strange to be charged with a capital crime, and at the very least, it's strange to have no hand or foot shackles as a sinner.

And that's not true at all.

Andy is in complete freedom, unbroken in captivity.

What's going on?

Dying

"--Oh!"

Andy was surprised for a moment as Neil corrected his residence and declared it out loud, then fell flat on the ground.

Neal went on after confirming the transmission of his fate and the courtesy of the Emperor to his noble generation.

"Hundred Captains, pardon Andy for his disrespect and order him to move to the Justice Department."

Huh?

Surprised Andy, he looks up at Neil.

"That's it. What's up, thank you?"

"Huh? Ah, thank you for being happy..."

All right.

"Um... what the hell is this..."

"Your Majesty's kindness." We have made the Imperial Code's crimes of disrespect, not military law, apply. That's good. If it was military law, it would have been an instant death sentence. "

"That's..."

Andy defended and swallowed his words.

Military law is more severely punished in one step than ordinary imperial law for the same crime.

This is because the Empire is a "warrior nation" and controls the army under heavy laws.

"It was rational, but it was the first time I had seen an emperor use it that way." If I forgive myself for my disrespect, that's it... no, it seems logical. "

Neil smiled bitterly, fuzzily.

Neil's face, which he understood by himself, and Andy's, more and more, looked like they had been left behind.

"Um..."

"Oh, a message from His Majesty." Since you are not allowed to repeat the original text, you will get some interpretation. "

Hah, hahaha!

"Your Majesty is playing the lantern now."



"I know what you're saying, but I can't listen to you right now."

"... eh, ah..."

"However, in that scene, the difference in status, the military law, and yet a person who is ready to die is precious." I'll use it again when I no longer need the lanterns, so I'll make it easier for you at the Ministry of Justice for a while-- "

"I-I mean..."

"You interfered in His Majesty's plot, but His Majesty liked the honesty." People are treasures. You really are such an amazing person, absolutely. "

……

Neil was impressed, and Andy was more and more surprised and lost his words.
