Empire 203.

“Are you here?”

Temple of Pomorro in a glowing light.

The girl who was standing there alone, full of light, was smiling happily.

When the wind blows over the White Castle, she smiles with a pompous body.

“ ……. ”

Soon the boy who appeared stopped without any answer.

A black demon-shaped mask that covers both faces except for two eyes.

And when you see him holding a dagger in his left hand, which is considered a taboo in the temple, he certainly is not the one with a good purpose.

“Are you here to kill me? ”

The girl already seemed to know everything.

With a bold face, no.

Still with a compassionate smile, the boy's eyes tremble greatly at her as she asks.

“ ……. ”

The left hand, holding the sword, trembled, and the hidden inside of the mask became increasingly sluggish.

Seeing him hardened, the girl slowly approaches with a sad look in her eyes.

“..... Saint. ”

The boy takes a step back, blaming himself.

Obviously, I'm here to kill her, and I can't even take a step back, even though the target is coming at my feet!

“It's okay.”

One day, my wet eyes were full of confusing light.

A girl smiled at him who could not even swing her sword and stopped in deep agony.

“Everyone understands. Because I know it's inevitable. ”

I was just saying that it was a pity that he went through this ordeal.

“Argh……. ”

The girl hugs him in a cry of a boy who can't stand it and protrudes out of the mask.

“Loan.”

“..... Saint. ”

Her hug, already digging into her identity.

At that moment, the assassin, Loan, collapses completely.

“I don't want to hurt the Saint..... But..... ”

As if he had lost his way, the girl nodded once more that she understood everything.

“I know, Loan. How sweet and kind of Loan is. ”

With a firm back, Dawg pours down the tears that were in Roan's eyes in his poor hands.

“If this is for the Philstein family, and for Loan. ”

The same goes for the girl with the tears.

“Thank goodness, though. Ron was the one who watched my end. ”

It did not seem to be a tear shed as a saint.

It was clearly a year in which more than just compassion was buried.

“This……. ”

And she hanged the necklace she was hanging around her neck.

“This...? ”

It shines, it shines.

“It's my mother's artifact. I hope Loan can keep it. ”

“Emilia..... ”

It will be the relic of the girl Emilia, not of the Saint.

He nodded as he swallowed up his tears.

“We'll meet again someday, won't we? ”

Emilia, who now knows that there is no more time, smiles and asks.

“ ……. ”

She closes her eyes slowly as she sees Loan nodding without answering.

“At once without pain……. ”

Loan, who had already accepted everything, could not hide the tears that flow in her last appearance.

He raises his sword, forcing his immobile body to move as if it had hardened.

A less shaky hand that seemed broken was not the same thing that had been trained for a long time.

“... Emilia. ”

I have to kill my loved one myself!

But there was no Dory.

Otherwise, all other precious people will be killed!

There was no choice in the first place.

In front of a harsh fate, Loan bites his molars tightly.

“Hello, Loan. ”

And with Emilia's final greeting,

“Argh!”

Throwing up a painful scream, he swung his sword.

Thirty years later.

Imperial 233 years.

“Go, Lord! Forgive me! Please! ”

Spatula!

Loan, who cut Ivoni's throat with a concise move, breathed heavily into his exhausted face.

“Argh..... Ugh... ”

I was full of exhausted breaths, and my whole body was bloody because of the wounds I sustained.

But only those eyes still didn't die.

“Despite his age, even Swordsmith Damon could have lost his life in a single strike! ”

And the man facing the eye clapped as if he was truly admired.

“What a pity! If you had been born from another ordinary family, not the Assassin Pilstein family, you would have been honored with swordsmanship, not murder! ”

He was the voice of a boy who didn't have a transformer, and he was the voice of a girl who looked beautiful.

With pale white hair on his face that could not be found in the blood, he was not only an impressive voice, but also a very neutral little boy.

Loan, who was staring at him with an exhausted face, calmed his breath and asked him a question.

“…… Why? Why the hell are you already the supreme authority of the continent? ”

And why me?

I am the first Conspiracy to make him Emperor and never hold the crown!

Is that why?

Apart from the breath he quickly calmed down, his emotions did not seem to be easily calmed down.

A man who felt Loan's emotions shaking made a laugh.

“Khh...! ”

At the same time, the strange creatures next to him began to growl.

All the elite Assassins of the Philistines have already lost their lives in the hands of Loan.

Under normal circumstances, it would be natural for anyone to run off the hook.

“I will be God, Loan. ”

What the man in front of his eyes didn't do would mean that these monstrous beings are more powerful than that.

“…… is it God now? ”

Ron, who knows that better than anyone else, stares at a man without hiding his preoccupation.

Egbert von Rosesta.

The 14th Emperor of the Rosesta Empire and the culmination of all power, which is now the same as when we first met, despite being more synonymous than the 50-year-old Loan.

Even more beautiful than that.

This is proof that he broke the Sunnah and went back in time.

“Yes, Loan. ”

And as his hand moved forward, a strange creature, a demon.

His presence here and even listening to Egbert was proof that he had gone against the will of God and held hands with a great evil.

“Quaah!”

At the same time, three hordes of horses fled towards Roman.

Normally, people are fast-paced, physically hard to follow.

Tsukak!

The shiftless movement of the long arms, stretched out of free material, was truly fatal.

Spatula!

Unless the opponent was the only Loan Philstein who was called a murderer.

Quajijic!

Loan looks at Egbert with a shivering eye, with exhausted breath and a single blow to the head of 3 Demons.

“Even the Movement of the Demons broke through? You're not human. ”

The body was already old and the mind was in a state of confusion, but the skill alone was not rusty.

“But that's why it's even more dangerous, Loan. ”

Egbert touches her face again with admiration that she didn't know it was like this.

“Krrrr!”

And when he saw the blood of the same horsemen, hundreds of horsemen came forward.

“I'm sorry, Lord! ”

It wasn't just the Horsemen.

“…… how did you guys. ”

Loyal companions lost their lives early, and all the others who had turned their backs joined Egbert and the Horsemen and pointed their swords at Roman.

“You are now an obstacle to the family! If the Lord had only taken care of us, we could have gone further to Yangji. Why didn't you do it! ”

“Life flows with the money of an assassin anyway! It is natural to follow His Majesty rather than the householder! ”

Rather than countless horses, their defections were even more shocking.

“Cool!”

After a moment of blood vomiting, Roan whispers as if something had happened to his body, and Egbert laughs again.

“You're taking your medicine pretty late. ”

Loan smiles in his voice.

“Yvonne..... ”

The last elite assassin Loan killed earlier, Yvonne, was a poison expert.

He had devised a conspiracy to drink.

“I've spent quite a bit of time poisoning you. Half elf chick had quite a baby in the wind. ”

In his words, Loan intuited the death of his most trusted companion and friend.

“Busha……. ”

I was not going to disappear suddenly without saying.....

“Nevertheless, I don't really know if you are human. I can't believe you're making this move by inhaling the amount that can wipe out a town. It's poisoned, it's medicated. ”

And then Loan laughed bitterly at Egbert's reality.

Did you say it was a deterioration?

His only friend, Bushmager, was also killed, and his body must have been hit with the worst.

After a bitter laugh, Egbert looks strangely at him.

In fact, it was closer to perfect affection than lamentation.

“... I am truly grateful for what you have done for me. You've dealt with everything that bothers me about the royal succession. After all, the assassination of the impediments to holding continental power was your responsibility, and the results were great. It's no exaggeration to say that I was the greatest contributor to becoming a god. ”

After defeating Emilia, the most powerful princess, and Prince Brad, the Four-Prince Egbert was able to ascend to the throne, and all his political activities included the Loans and the Philistines.

“But that's why it bothers me. You know all my transgressions. Even the woman you love is cold-blooded who could have killed for the family. ”

It's already been 30 years.

“…… did you know? ”

But as it's a story so hard to forget, the heart of Loan is choking down.

“Of course. That's why I wanted you to kill Emilia. The existence of the Philstein family itself was too dangerous. Unless it's mine! ”

This is still an unfinished story.

A story that never forgets Emilia will never end unless Roan dies.

That's why the flames burst out of Loan's eyes in a moment.

“Did you know that? Kill Emilia knowing it! ”

Then Egbert shrugs.

“Was that such an important part? ”

Ugh.

Hatred blossomed as deeply as sunset.

Soon, Roan grabs the sword, staring at Egbert as if he were going to kill him.

With the power of the wind in it, the Mage Elkane starts to roar.

If he and Elkane use their power, which is called murder, with their swords and shoulders side by side, that power may even confront the entire Empire Knights.

“How dare you toothpick your master, Loan. ”

Egbert, who knows the truth better than anyone else, took a step back, and the assassins of the Demons and Philistines took another step.

“Now you are no longer my master. You made me kill Emilia, you killed Busha, and now you're trying to kill me. ”

Loan took a breath looking at them.

“So now it's just a target to kill! ”

Along with his roar, he shakes Loan's shirt, which is bloody with the breeze emitted by Magua Elkane.

And the necklace in between.

“I told you where Emilia's necklace went, and you had it. Is that why you were still alone? ”

Egbert recognizes it and fills his Tsk Tsk tongue.

Thirty years.

That's why he's been alone, even though it's been a long enough time to forget someone.

“Emilia won't be lonely anymore. ”

Soon after he turned around, he shook hands to finish.

“Krrrr!”

At the same time, the horsemen rushed towards Loan.

There are monsters in the world where reason doesn't exist!

“Argh!”

And Loan, standing on the oblique line, threw out his reason, and ran toward them.

*

*

*

“What a misery.”

The words were as they were.

The castle of the Philstein family was bloody.

Hundreds of bodies seem to have lost their lives in a single strike without covering up humans, horses and species.

And even Loan, who's already been stabbed in the wall with his abdomen pierced in the hand of a demon.

“Argh……. ”

If there's anything else, he's still holding his breath.

“It's amazing. With that body, it is not enough to destroy the Philistine Assassins alone at that age.... ”

How dare he do this?

No one will be able to do it unless you are a murderous Loan Philstein.

Egbert, who witnessed the scene, looked really awe-inspiring.

“This is the best place to climb as a human being. Should we call it the transcendental landmark? ”

But soon jealousy touched his face.

“That's why I abandoned you. ”

Rrrrrrrrrrrr.

And I picked out the thin sabre he was kicking on the side.

“Why should I be afraid of you and jealous of you, the Emperor of Rosesta? ”

He said that the only reason he wanted to be transcendent was that Egbert stood before Loan.

“If only you were gone, I would be God after all this human emotion. ”

Take it with you.

Already weakened by all his might, Loan seems powerless to hold the Magog Elkane.

In that figure, Egbert's eyes hovered.

“But I really liked you. Really. Just know that I meant it. ”

Despite Egbert coming right in front of him, Roan does nothing and is just bleeding.

“The last one is……. ”

It's so grotesque that even tears can come out, but it seems that Loan, who has been in the dark for too long, is now unable to even shed a tear.

“At once without pain. ”

And in Egbert's words, Loan remembers 30 years ago.

Emilia, I never thought I'd hear her last words from Egbert.

― Can we meet again someday?

I think the time has come to keep that word.

Loan closes his eyes, thinking so.

“What's the last thing you have to say? ”

Loan did not answer any of Egbert's questions.

His head was just full of regrets that he had endured for 30 years.

‘If I go back to that time..... ’

That's all.

To him who was just lowering his head without saying a word,

“Hello, Loan. ”

I wondered if it was never a humble thing to say that I liked it, and Egbert's voice echoed with a howl.

At the same time, the last appearance of Emilia again touches Loan's head.

‘At that time.... ’

And…….

Puwook!

Along with a strange feeling of piercing through his neck, Loan's vision is white.

I don't know what it was, but somehow it felt like it was glowing.

In an increasingly faint field of view,

‘Loan, we're back together now. ’

He seemed to have seen Emilia again.

‘Yes, now..... ’

Loan Pilstein closed his eyes again, thinking that he had missed her his whole life.
