"This is the empire's greatest secret."

A few days after I told Vale the truth. Kate was once again visiting the secret room of the Imperial Castle. As Vale wished, he was telling the Emperor Leonhardt the truth. Plus a few of the recluses who know about the rebel wars that Glaia has been looking for. As a witness, he was brought here to tell us what had happened.

"I don't believe in Russia... the fact is, is it?

After hearing everything, the emperor Leonhardt asks his daughter. With that in mind, Vale nodded clearly with serious eyes.

"Right..."

Leonhardt, the emperor who looked into his daughter's eyes and saw that there was no lie there, sighed heavily. To keep it a secret, it was too big. So he thought for a while, relaxing his temples.

"... I'll take care of this. Your Highness Justina... No, you may tell your Highness Justina at your discretion."

After a long silence he finally opened his heavy mouth. He dared say it again because he admitted that Tina was royal.

I couldn't deny that I was shown this room, and that was acknowledged by Lord Heisenberg, Jake, and other recluses. Even for a reason, I can understand. Because he knew the situation at that time, too.

Sincerely, Your Majesty.

"Even so, right? Was there such a history... how would the heartache of His Majesty the First?"

Emperor Leonhardt looked up to one man, his own ancestor with a smile on his face with a sinister face. Until now, he had heard that the first king, Ixfoss, was full of hope and always a bright man.

He learned of such a man's suffering as an emperor, and strengthened his awe. In fact, Emperor Leonhardt was an emperor with a fairly strong sense of awe for his ancestors among the historical emperors.

"... is this room, for both of you, a room that shows its growth?

Leonhardt, the emperor who once bowed his head against Ixphos, turned his face to two people, Kate and Heisenberg, and inquired.

"Yes."

Cochlear to the enquiry of the emperor Leonhardt, he nodded and Gynn began to speak.

"It began that I, who was originally good at painting, gave Tina a gift to both of us for watching her grow and painting. I'm glad I gave you a bunch of them after that, but I had trouble with where to put them. So with the help of Ikes' friend, I made this room. The only people who know this room are the Grand Dukes of the time and the Dukes. Oh, and then there's Hermes. We all knew Tina existed, but we didn't know this place...... right?

"Yep... hehe, the day I changed my amulet is like yesterday..."

"I miss it... were they following this kind of footprint..."

"It's a painting like you can hear His Majesty laughing... maybe we're already close to picking you up..."

Some of the lairs, weeping, admit what Gwen said. They didn't know about this room, and they didn't know about Tina's painting.

Therefore he was weeping over the nostalgic monarch and the appearance of his family as it should have been. For the rest of my life, which wasn't long, I thought it was a souvenir of the underworld.

The reason why this room was hidden against them was simple, because it did not reveal any connection to Gynn or Tier. This is politically inconclusive. They were surprised at the beginning, too, but were taught the judgment of Ixfoss and were convinced. With them on the sidelines like that, Gynn continued.

"Exactly, Tina can't even sense this room. Because it's too strong a different space, and in the first place, it's a space she can't recognize with the seal of Ikes."

"Master Left... I had no idea you two were involved in the establishment of the Empire besides Master Glaia"

Emperor Leonhardt bows his head to the golden and pure white beauty. Tia, who had been informed of the circumstances, had also come to this occasion. On the face of it, the family - in this case Kuzha and Aura - has been asked at random.

"That the name of the concubine and that daughter are alike, that they should not travel like Glaia or Gwen in case there is, that they should ensure that their existence is kept secret for decades, that they are able to use the secrets of the other world. They were entrusted to me by Ikes. Besides, the beauty of taking care of the Heavenly and Divine tribes is that of the Clan Guru. It was a good environment to raise a child... and despite the fact that her parents never distorted her, she was able to grow up... Well, it was good to be smart like my mother, but I didn't know what to do like my father, but I burned my hand."

Somewhere sad, then, somewhere happy Tia tells. Plus, Glaia, who had visited many times to confirm after her best friend's beloved daughter, agrees.

"Well, after that, I didn't expect to fly out of the floating continent to explore things and embark on the project of reunification of the Demon Nation. You look like an idiot."

Happily, Glaia tells Tina what she really is. In fact, Tina did not leave the floating continent in an attempt to unify it from the beginning. He stepped down from the center of interest without thinking. Then he learned about the devil clan's flattery and embarked on reunification.

As a result, she takes 100 years to achieve reunification, but the ineptitude of it and the fact that she doesn't know why it happened was exactly like her father.

"I was amazed at that, along with Lord Hermes and his sons Aur."

Jake, Lord Heisenberg, seems somewhere happy with those two words, and then smiles mixed with bitter laughter. If you answer that the Demon King came to say hello because he united the Demon Nation and founded it as a nation, it was a grown Tina. You won't have to be surprised.

Naturally, even when they grew up, they couldn't have known Tina was Tina. Anyway, they strongly inherited the characteristics of their parents.

The smile was a sun-like smile just like that of my father Ixfoss, and the intelligence was the genius intelligence of the Mother Concession, who was at the head of the technology of the Great Empire, and the beauty was the exact shape of the Father and Mother Concession loved by God. They inherited the characteristics of their parents. Now they couldn't possibly not understand.

"It's what we both laughed about afterwards. After all, she was the daughter of His Majesty the First."

Jake, the Duke of Heisenberg, whose face he remembered at the time, was emotional that his daughter had grown. Tina has a slight separation due to the combination of kites, but in fact, he doesn't have any. That's why it was emotional.

It is in each other's public place to show old age, but therefore, except for that, Tina is the orphan of the beloved Lord. She's also a responsible daughter for letting herself lose it. I couldn't have cared less.

"Right... Lord Heisenberg. Well done, my lord. You've served my empire in pieces. On behalf of the historical emperor, let me thank you. Thank you."

"... no, Your Majesty... I... no, I like this country. This country, created by Lord Ikes and watched over by Lord Justiza, Lord Hermes and Aur, and protected by His Majesty Kate and His Majesty Wistaglias, has been inherited by His Majesty Leonhardt. So please raise your head."

Jake, Lord Heisenberg and revolutionary, tells the emperor Leonhardt, who unexpectedly bowed his head out of gratitude, in some light. With that in mind, Emperor Leonhardt raised his head a little later.

"... sorry. And keep that secret in your chest for a while longer."

Sincerely, Your Majesty.

"Lord McDawell, the heroes of statehood. Nice to meet you, too. And the three of you. Please, keep this a secret."

"My pleasure."

Kite and the hidden heroes bow their heads to the plea of Emperor Leonhardt. Anyway, take it to the recluse, it's for the orphans of the man they fell in love with. Like anyone else's servant, I was originally going to take it to the graveyard.

"I'll take care of the rest. It's a measure I accepted until that fool cried so hard. I can't do that for no reason."

The two remaining snorted at the words of Glaia, who followed them like that. Seeing that, the emperor Leonhardt bowed his head.

"Thank you."

That was the end of it all. Thus, this day's talks will be hidden from any history of the Empire as a secret only to those present here.

It wasn't until the sun sank abundantly that Kite was able to return to the hotel. So when I looked into the conversation room, the lights were still on, so I looked inside, and there was the face of Tina and the upper level of the adventure department. Apparently, he was free, so he was playing some kind of card game.

"Hey, kite. Is something still happening today?

"Mm-hmm? Are you home? Where have you been?

"Uh, if you go to the castle for a moment, meet His Majesty the Emperor. Well, we were talking there. At your next job."

It was Kite, who answered appropriately, but it was actually sneaking off this time. I have spoken to the royal family many times to the boulder, then it seems doubtful, so I decided to talk about work.

As a matter of fact, Kate had a job as a test pilot in relation to the Magic Conductor and often removed the Adventure Department. And that won't change until Kate leaves the Imperial Capital. This one is different from the brave ones, so...

That's why I wanted an excuse for being asked by the Emperor to be an adventurer. I went to get that excuse this time.

"I know that...... uhh! Hmm!"

Kite, who looked tired somewhere, suddenly walked inside and kissed Tina more or less. Tina resisted slightly at first without knowing what it meant, but gradually the resistance weakened, just being left. There was discomfort in the kite.

"Mm-hmm..."

It was just Tina being made kite but staying, but her hand was holding kite gently. That's how, leaving the stunned together, Kate just keeps hugging her.

"... absolutely, I will make you happy. Never... let go of my hand..."

Let go of my mouth, Kite hugging Tina even harder. Tina then declares herself strong and unambiguous.

Straight, to the clearly stated favor, just Tina also turns bright red. I wasn't expecting this development. She, too, who occasionally performs mischievous acts with Kate, turns bright red in her bold Kate confession in front of a large number of people.

"Hey...... what are you saying all of a sudden! A little more attention, too!

"You have to be absolutely happy."

"Hey kite...... what's up?

I finally notice Kate's anomaly with all of them in the confession I can continue ignoring Tina. At the same time that Kate's words are directed at him, he seems to be declaring himself somewhere far away.

No, the truth, I was declaring. It was against all the heroes of the founding world who wished her happiness. He is with the dead. That's why I thought the declaration should arrive. And from the time she fell in love, she swore that she would be absolutely happy.

"I've been thinking about this for a long time... Lord, what are you hiding?

Tina understands and asks what happened to him from what happened to Kate. Of course. Now there's nothing. It's more suspicious not to think.

"... I can't tell you. Sorry... I can't tell you..."

To Tina's inquiry, Kate just apologizes. I can't answer that. That is why, instead, I could only speak of my own determination.

"... me and you are bloodstained with the blood of so many people... so shouldn't we be happy? Did you know that? Such morality and ethics are not what I know... I will make you happy as a single woman. Because of that, I'll have a lot of blood on my hands. I'll carry how much evil... so... so you'll be happy, Tina"

When Tina tells Kate to love, she plays somewhere and tells her to stay. In contrast, when Kate tells Tina to love, she speaks with absolute will and determination. No one knows if this is the difference between what we carried with us, or the difference between our two personalities.

But I understood that what Kate told Tina was important now. So she gave it back to Kite sincerely, too.

"Um, he who makes my husband and lives permanently together. Let's be happy together."

Tina graciously holds Kate back. He remained a child, but his face was filled with compassion, as if he were a Mother of Mercy. I realized that Kate was carrying something for herself.

"Oh, I'll make you happy..."

"At some point, will you tell me?

"Oh... sometime, I'll be sure to talk"

Kate nods to Tina's words, small. That was the day when we could really be a couple, Kate thought. Until that day, Kate decided to keep the secret in her chest for a while now.
