# 2 Their Reason: The Demon King's Reason

“The Castle of Marathon is clear. ”

He doesn't even nod, even if he hears his servant's report.

“Mister Gregoire? ”

A servant who felt strange about the behavior came and then the man nodded his head.

“I see. Clear the area and prepare for a counterattack." ”

“I understand.”

Seeing his servant leaving, the man, Agrett sighs again.

“Something's not right. ”

Something keeps me anxious. When did this anxiety start?

When you heard the curse from meckel? No, before that, Greg knew he was anxious about something a long time ago.

“Yes, ever since. ”

Aggreat was able to reach the end of his memory after a short while, retracing his memory to find the source of anxiety.

“It started when we lost contact with four people who had left to look for the descendants of Circus. ”

From that point on, everything started to slip away, and as a result, Aggreat attacked Velegrea.

“Things haven't been good since. ”

Not good. That's how Gregoire manages things. The first to attack for any reason is politically disadvantageous.

I don't know if the Demon King was a tyrant or a incompetent Demon King, but he was one of the greatest Demon Kings of all time.

Thanks to this, most of the Mages who supported him were also favored by Belgrea, the daughter of the late Demon King.

The only reason they support him is because he doesn't fit in with them.

“Not good. It's not good. ”

The current continent was very chaotic.

The general assaulted the Demon King's daughter, and the princess was unaware of her whereabouts.

The opinions on the continent were not favorable to him, to the extent that it was said that Aggreat was only pretending not to know the princess.

“You can defeat all with force, but you cannot be king unless you receive their choice. ”

Agrett closes her eyes, muttering what the previous Demon King had said.

‘Ten anamenfath protesting against Velegrea and thirteen elders speculating on the whereabouts of the Four Thousand Kings. This is troublesome.’

Voting on the Demon King is valid until it is void at least once.

But you don't know how the world works.

In this situation, if the successor of Circubus suddenly dies and the Demon King is put back in charge and votes begin, could Aggreat really become the Demon King?

No, absolutely not.

Perhaps the chieftains who stood by him raised their hands and decided that she would be king of the devil.

“But the elders are more annoying in this situation. ”

This side is more bothersome than the anamfatha.

The most powerful and most trusted of them all. He called himself the Four Thousand Kings, and Gregoire was also skilled enough to admit that they were saying so.

Then they disappeared overnight.

In order to understand the situation, the elders of each tribe, who had already noticed, came to check on their chiefs every day.

The tribe of the best fighting fanatics in the Horse tribe, and the best leader in the Horse tribe, the Towers and Lannisters.

The Fire Dragon tribe is one of the dragons born from birth with strong magical power and outstanding wisdom.

And the Sine Clan, capable of poisoning and memorization, and of stealth action, allowing them to assassinate their enemies at any time.

Their combat strength is now the most needed element for Aggret.

Tell them their chieftain is missing? In a situation where you're taking over the Demon King by force?

The moment they turn their backs, the other tribes will also turn their backs.

If that's the case, it's all over.

Some would say it was the most peaceful time in the history of the Horsemen. Others would say it was the stupidest time in the history of the Horsemen and did not invade the human continent.

And if Aggreat was born much later, he was the Mage who put his hand on the latter's assessment. It was because he was willing to do his best to create the world of the Magi.

“The best way is the only way. ”

The best way to find a successor to the Circubus and secure tradition.

“The lane isn't bad either. ”

The subway is to invade the human continent as if no one had ever found a successor of the Circubus, strengthen his throne by displaying the chaos inside and further create the world of the Horses.

And the worst part.

“I'd better find it. ”

When Belégrea disappeared, Aggrette, who imagined the worst future for the successor of Circubus, stood up and took a wild step and began to act.

The goal is to find the successor of the Circus, even with all the troops that can move!

That's how Aggreat began sending most of his troops to the human continent to find Elise on the Marathon.

# 3 Their Reason: A Princess Reason

It's too urgent. I feel a red light flickering in my head.

I feel like ignoring visitors who come today. But I'm just sad that I can't do that.

That was the biggest guest to come to the kingdom today.

“Please wait, warrior. ”

Vera Rick Nathan, the princess who said that, thought of the warrior who saved herself, weeping softly.

How you've been waiting for yourself!

If it wasn't for the girl who suddenly appeared, you two would still be having such a great time together!

In her mind, she imagined 100 percent of her own subjective perspective, and headed to the place where the maids were prepared to dress up.

“You're beautiful, Princess. ”

“Thank you, Serel. ”

Princess Vera smiled at the girl who smiled brightly at herself, but her mind was slightly different.

‘Ah, the warrior should have whispered this in my ear. ’

Once again, Princess Vera considers the warrior, a little tears in her eyes and insists on the depths of her heart.

I will find you and save you, warrior! ’

The warrior that remains in her memory was abducted by an evil girl.

Far from reality, she thought the warrior would never leave her side.

“You haven't found it yet? ”

“Sorry, Princess. ”

“No. The wicked woman did wrong. What could possibly go wrong with you? ”

Serel, who had been bringing Princess Vera since childhood, was able to read her expression, smiling as if she were fine.

“It was all because we were short. I never thought I'd lose you to just one. ”

Sadness. Princess Vera looks sadder than she has ever seen. Serel is determined to find a warrior.

“Thank you, Serel. ”

Princess Vera smiled brightly to make sure she understood Serel's heart.

“Well, we better get ready, then, right? How much time?"

“I still have about three hours left. ”

“Yes."

Three hours is short and long is long.

Usually the princess of the royal family was much in her preparation time, but today was different.

“I don't think we should be making trouble for the Karan Empire." ”

Today's guest is a royal princess, who has never been compared to her.

The only country with the most military force on the continent! The only country on a vast continent called the Empire!

He overturned the Kingdom of Nathan, as well as the nobles, by coming from such a small country to the Kingdom of the North.

A legion of Caran Empires is said to have been able to eliminate the Nathan Empire, or three other nearby empires!

Is this an opportunity or a crisis?

Most people saw this as a crisis. It is because the first Empire princess, who is not other people and famous for not moving well in the imperial court, said she would visit the Kingdom of Nathan in person.

Rather than the Crown Prince or the First Crown Princess, who is in charge of the northern borders, she suddenly visits the Empress without any ointment.

For the realm of Nathan, who had no idea the purpose of the empire, he had no choice but to burn.

All you can do is treat it with the best effort possible.

It may not be a cause for concern, but because the Karean Empire has so many enemies with the name "The Most Powerful," there could be a World War II in many countries if you wage an obscure battle.

I don't want a war, but I'd rather live in a situation where World War II might happen. The best choice, of course, is to move on peacefully.

In order to obtain the best possible choice, the Kingdom of Nathan has prepared itself for a noble guest.

But...

“Yes? You mean me? ”

“Yes, Princess. ”

At last, the Empire First Empress refused the dinner and hoped to meet Princess Vera.

“Do you know why? ”

“I'm not sure. ”

Seeing the nobles from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs bowing their heads in apology, Princess Vera nodded her head with a complex heart.

Princess Vera, who had to meet the Empire princess in any form whatsoever, met her with a slight tremor.

And then...

“What... did you say? ”

The words from the princess' mouth start to beat her heart.

“The warrior you're looking for, Swinn, said he'd help you find him. ”

It was Princess Vera who was surprised when I first met her.

Her silver-haired, radiant red eyes were shining so brightly that they felt that everything was being detected the moment their eyes met.

Beauty that even the most beautiful woman in the North can't compare to herself.

Princess Vera stares at her dazzled by her beauty and begins to glow again as she hears the tale of her only desired warrior, Swinn.

“How do you know that? ”

“Similar goals. Only people are different. ”

At the same time, she was Princess Vera, but she tilted her head to say that she was someone else.

“What does that mean? ”

“Literally. I'm looking for someone, too. And he's traveling with the warrior you're looking for, Swin. ”

Immediately, I began to think of people walking around with warriors in Princess Vera's head.

"She's probably not the Elf... Is she the saint called the Hill? Even if marriage is a free Church priest, it is a problem to meet the Imperial Empress... ’

She said she was just looking for it, but she was thinking of romance and marriage with the same meaning as herself.

Normally, this idea was literally a crazy idea.

“The man I'm looking for is someone who knows you're a Narean. Well, they change their names every time. ”

“Teacher of the Warrior...? ”

The problem was that the crazy idea was true.

“We should move the military on that, but realistically the movement of the Karan Empire is a concern. ”

“That's right.”

It was the Karean Empire, where one army was considered to be able to afford a country.

Common sense sounds absurd, but the problem is that the power of some forces actually has that power.

Because of this, the militaries of the Karean Empire acted on the outside, not on the inside of the empire, and it was very disruptive around the world.

“Even if I did, I'd have to be late to prepare. ”

It was a ridiculous speed, but it did not change that there were many troublesome things in the middle.

Why is the AST kidnappers' average power level so ridiculous? A small number of elites were quickly infiltrated to succeed in kidnapping.

But it's meaningless to insist on a minority elite who already has the power to defeat 12 sovereigns.

“So to avoid any hassle... I was looking for a suitable ally, but I finally met a country that deals with warriors. ”

“A country involving warriors.... ”

“Yes, and by the way, that warrior is one of the direct descendants of our country, the Grand Duke of Lina. Even a princess in one country is in a difficult position to get married. ”

Immediately, Princess Vera's eyes widened. It was unthinkable.

He used to be a civilian warrior, but the truth is, he's the real deal for the Karean Empire! One of the most powerful men in history, the Grand Duke of Lina!

“But if I give it to you... you can do whatever you want without any problem. ”

Gulp.

Princess Vera swallows her thirst and looks at the empire princess in front of her eyes.

Even if she is a princess of a country, she is in a position to make a military alliance with a great nation called the Karean Empire…….

“By the way, I found the last of the warriors. ”

“I'll do it!”

But she, no, they were honest with desire.

They shared what they wanted, and in addition to the packaging, they created provisions that also pursued the interests of the country.

That way, the seeds of the alliance, which were evaluated for predicting the future, began to sprout.
