The Empire of Kenneth, the capital of the Empire, Etelgranze.

From the perspective of the entirety of the vast royal palace, the temple is surprisingly close to the main gate.

This room was advertised to be the largest of all the royal palaces of the five great powers (although the Pharaoh's Republic did not have a royal palace in the first place), which was in fact the case.

The vast space, where 5,000 people can prostrate at the same time, is crimson and golden.It is decorated with no gaps at all, such as decorative tiles, wall hangings, and dragon paintings on too high ceilings.

The deepest part of the room was as high as an altar or a two-stage pyramid.

In the "upper section" there is a throne, and only the emperor and the closest ones can rise.

It depends on how you use the "middle stage".When gathering a large number of people in the "lower section", there may be high-ranking officials in the "middle section" as the surrounding area, and in the case of small-scale observation by officials without civilians, there may be cases where the "lower section" is not used to make them prostrate here.Just like now.

Raise your face.

Catherine, lying on a crimson rug, raised her face when she heard a voice from above the stairs.

On the throne is the Emperor of the Kenneth Empire, Dragon Abyss.

Wearing a unique crown like the one that gave him the board, and a costume depicting the stars and sacred creatures, he is not very luxurious.

He was indeed about thirty years old, but he looked much younger than that.

Looking down from the throne above, he calls out to Catherine in a voice that often passes like an arrow, so that even without the magic of loudspeaking, it might resound in every corner of this vast viewing room.

"Catherine Arkwright... no, should I say 'Catherine Margareta Keeley'?"

"There's a problem with me naming [Keeley] 's family name right now."

"Well, arc lights." Well done.

My empire has a vast map and a population of millions.

And in them are countless men of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and of the bones, and

However, because Winter Dawn recruits people from home, I invited you from afar in the name of the star ring on my right arm.Chew on it and encourage it. ”

"Yes....."

Winter dawn is dead.

René's escape from the otherworlds did not come true, and only Catherine and Wilfred stepped on the Empire's soil.

But Catherine is still here.

It should be said that Catherine's role is even greater now that Winter Dawn, which was the mainstay of the "Princess of Roses in Prison" countermeasure, has died.

There is a great reason to exist in the sense that it connects the Federation of Jileshkhatar with the Kehnis Empire.

Without stopping Rene at all, both Rene and the world were just getting broken.That's why we need some work, and there's no way we can do that without Catherine.

That's why Catherine's here. And...

"Underneath me, the Kenneth Empire gets everything on earth."

There are no people or monsters, no men or women, no warriors or scholars, no aristocrats or concealers, and I will leave them out.

... you must be the sword for that. "

“Fear not. Let the sea shed untold blood and tears, and build upon the swirling resentment.”

Catherine's defense against the words of the Dragon Abyss was silent for a moment.

More than that, it took the bureaucrats to understand what had happened to the impossible answer to the emperor.

It's disrespectful!

"What the hell...!"

A voice rose like a promise of rage, groaning, and moaning.

No, no, no, no, no.

"Hah..."

The Dragon Abyss took control of the bureaucrat who changed his blood and yelled at him.

And with a mysterious black eye like an abyss, he shrivelled Catherine.

Footsteps.

Catherine breathed a breath.

Because the Dragon Abyss, which was supposed to sit gently on the throne, was instantly right in front of Catherine, as if it were flowing down the stairs.

“Say, what complaints do you have?”

The dragon abyss was pulling out the star-shining blade sword decorated with jewels.

A cold object touches Catherine's jaw and lifts her face.

The eyes of Dragon Abyss and Catherine met.The tip touched my throat.

"Too much has been trampled on.

There are those who have lost their homes.There are those who have lost their fields.

A wife who has lost a husband, a husband who has lost a wife, a parent who has lost a child, a child who has lost a parent....

Have you ever thought of their grief and pain?

No matter what feat you achieve... it will be the end of the next tragedy. "

The words were surprisingly moonlit for Catherine herself.And the Dragon Abyss will not be as determined as Catherine said.

Even so, Catherine has to say it.

What he thinks and what he does for the sake of his life.You must leave a claw mark on the occasion of the first encounter with the dragon abyss.Or we must ask the dragon abyss vessels.

Even the fact that he might die because of it was a necessary risk.If the Dragon Abyss did not listen to Catherine's words, and if it were rude to fight here, then everything would have been over from the beginning.

"Are you afraid of death?"

The Dragon Abyss as if he had seen through his heart.

"...... I think it's as terrible as most people are."

"Don't lie to me. You don't have to wear mortal skin here."

It's scary and careless to die without fulfilling your purpose.

But for Catherine, that was the fear of death.

Dragon Abyss lifted the edge of his mouth and laughed.

"I got it with my sword."You must see the eyes of those who know your own death. "

"Death?"

"Warriors crossing the dead-line on the battlefield often do."The way the liver falls is different.

This can't be done without training. "

The Dragon Abyss drew its sword and bounced back when it was placed in its sheath.

Even though it seemed that he had just jumped lightly, he ran down the stairs and sat on the throne in the [upper stage] between his eyes.It was a casual move, but even Catherine, who was watching it in front of her, seemed to be a magic trick.

"The Princess of Roses." Is that the death for you?

Catherine was silent about the questions that came down.

I thought that if I looked at such things, it would be a kind of reasonable interpretation.

Although Catherine neither affirmed nor denied it, because it was impossible to express her relationship with René in simple terms.

"Fu, fufu, kukuku..."

Master?

In a silent response, the Dragon Abyss raised its laughter as it sifted its shoulders and pushed it to death.

The Dragon Abyss seemed not to have heard the voice of the general next to it, Star Ring.

"Oh... that's good. That's funny. That's good.

I'm finally curious about you. "

As if the dragon had opened the jaw gate.

For the first time, Catherine saw a fever in the face of the Dragon Abyss, where only the majesty of a ruthless ruler drifted.

"You asked me what I could build, didn't you? Absolute order.

And it shall come to pass, that the kingdom of power hath fallen upon the earth, and men shall fight against each other.In the midst of them are the dead, and in the midst of them are the hungry.

I will not allow this to be good, seeing that a man will die tragically and recklessly.

But if any struggle is overcome by absolute power and order, and everyone knows who to hang their heads on, then the blood and tears that flow through the world will be diminished. "

"But isn't that just a change in how people dominate people?"

It eventually becomes corrupt, as it is the person who shapes the order.The Absolute Order Invites an Absolute Destruction Out of Control. ”

"There will be too." However, it was only the experience of the ancestors who could only establish a corrupt order.

I want to challenge you.

A big business that builds a permanent and absolute order with no breakthroughs.

This is a dream that's easy to talk about. "

Dragon Abyss called it a dream, not a goal.

He is not boasting that he can do it.Even so, I can't help but follow it, which is why I think it's a 'dream'.

If I were you, would I be an enemy to prevent that dream?

No.

The Dragon Abyss spread its hand and looked around at the high-ranking officials around it.

Taking the helm of a mighty empire, they are politicians of outstanding prowess, as Katherine gathered lightly as she could tell.

“Everyone is dreaming about following their dreams.Well, you don't have to ask.

I can't guarantee that anyone here has the same dream as me, but I don't care if they do!

I can't swallow everything down without the Emperor! "

The Dragon Abyss is defeated.

The star ring was meditating with its thin, long fingers on its chest, and the afternoon light was secretly clenching its fists.

The Dragon Abyss knew Catherine's thoughts and tolerated them.

I'm sure he won't change. But Catherine had nothing but to stumble upon... the Abyss of Dragons forgave her.

It was both a victory and a defeat for Catherine.

"... whoever ends up here, trampled on, no matter what the ideal place to go is, it's all there is."

"If you do, I'll try to save you under me."

I can't spare the rest. And he begs not forgiveness.But if you're a capable sword, I'll make concessions. "

I'm sure there are no lies in the words.

Catherine was grabbing on to the Dragon Abyss.

I see, he's a monster that could be the ruler of this mighty empire.

Shan, the signal bell rings.

When the Emperor enters and exits, the people who see him must prostrate themselves.

Through the sleeves of an imperial outfit, Catherine swallows fire and hangs her head.

"You will not be surprised that you have served me, only regret."

I'll pray that my dreams and yours will meet. "

The last word sounded so pure that it seemed chewy.

The sound of shoes echoing in the vastness gradually moved away.
