The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

Do you want a great empire - the words were bathed by the emperor himself, and Shade made himself strong.

I don't know what you're saying without saying it - Shade doesn't know its true meaning.

Is it being tested?

When you say you want an empire, you're seen as an ambitious man who wants the throne of the Emperor, and you get rid of it?

Seeing the reputational shade of the valve standing completely unanswered and bewildered, Kurf laid his elbows on the armrest of the sofa and relaxed.

"It's not a difficult story.I wanted your honest answer. "

"Hah...."

"If I had said I wanted the Empire, I would have given it to you."

The words exclaimed Shade.That's true, too. It is perplexing to say that the supreme power of the country will let go of the empire without any premonition.

Not particularly family, General.

Kurf wondered if it was too abrupt.

"By the way, Jin Amiwool said he didn't want to be in a position to get the empire."

"Is Gin Amiwool...?

The shade became more and more unclear.

"Does Your Majesty know that Gin Amiwool?

"Mm-hmm. That man is very interesting."

Unexpectedly, Kurf broke his favor.But the expression returned immediately.

"You are more than he is now.So, what do you think?If I told you I'd give you the Great Empire, would you take it?

……

Finally, Shade took a breath.It was also surprising that Jin Amiwool and the Emperor were acquainted, but we must answer that question as well.

Asked if he was ambitious, Shade asked himself.

Once upon a time...

Born into a mere knight's house, his father, who was a knight, died when Shade was young.Without my mother, I was picked up by the baron's house, where I served, and adopted.

Since childhood, Shade, who was smart and skilled at swords, was raised as a reserve because the baron's trail tended to fall ill.

After all, the Baron's son grew up healthy and the trace problem was resolved.Shade reached adulthood as a knight, but because he was a pickup, he was seen with prejudicial eyes from around him.

When Emperor Diggletto formed the Standing Army, Shade, who was in a delicate position, was cut off from the Baron family, volunteered for the Imperial Army, and became an Imperial Knight.

However, as a suspicious junior of his origins, Shade remained neglected by his colleagues and aristocrats.There would have been jealousy about talent, but the higher the aristocracy, the more valued and discriminated against the blood flowing through it.

Had it been a peaceful world, he would not have been born.He was talented, somewhat capable of fighting monsters, and it was possible that he had completed his life as a knight.

It changed with the emperor's decree of continental unity and the war against the Union.Exceptional army talent and unbeatable bravery - all of a sudden, they became generals when they realized.

At that time, I thought it was the most flattering.

Except for some aristocrats, the eyes that saw him around turned into heroes.Shade was born and succeeded in looking back at his surroundings.

Still, the nobles who looked at prejudice remained the same.Were you young when you thought that you could give back when you were great?From around here, I felt the heat cooling in the shade.

When I became Commander of the West, I reached a summit.But I couldn't think of anything more.Becoming a Grand Empire Marshal or something that should have been ambitious had almost disappeared.

Rather than that, there was a feeling of feeling stronger towards Seras who was serving him.If I could just relax somewhere quiet with her... I could feel at peace with her.

Shade quietly exhaled his accumulated breath and looked back at Kurf.

"No, even if I were in a position to receive an empire, I would decline."

"A little different. The position of receiving an empire is, after all, imperial.If my father is no longer the emperor, his son will inherit the trail. "

"Does that mean you want it or not, assuming that I inherited it as your son?

Ruri

Kurf nodded.

- You think I'm the emperor's son?Don't be ridiculous.

"The position and the situation will change, so the reality is different... but even if I were your heir, I still don't want the Empire."

If I had been growing up as a son and watching my father's back, I might have naturally accepted to be an emperor.

I can put the Empire together better myself!may have been enthusiastic, or on the contrary, may have been fed up with dealing with nobles.

After all, it's a completely different life from Shade's, so I can't trace the thoughts of the Emperor's son.

"I see....."

Kurf smiled slightly in a dress with one elbow on his knee.It's not funny or stupid, just like the old man watches his grandson's awkward thoughts.

That's boring.

"... thoughts of all men without hope, like His Majesty.Forgive me. "

"What, an opinion as a leader in life?Life expectancy is short.It's short, but I hope it ends peacefully. "

Kurf slipped out of sight.

"I don't know how many years you'll live.If nothing happens, you'll live a little longer than people. "

"Ruggedness has always been a feature."

As the shade nodded small, Kurf sarcastically distorted his mouth.

"I would have spent about half my life without the disease."

"Yes"

It's not just that I didn't get sick.He was more physically fit than usual and also more resistant to injuries.--That's what it looks like.

"You can do what you want."

Kurf sat back down.

"Life expectancy is short.But you will work while you are in the Imperial Army.At least you won't get bored. "

Ha!

"On top of that, I have one more question for you."

"What is it?"

Cool shade. Kurf cut out after hesitating a little.

"I'd like to give you a gift...That, exempt from previous work, is.Is there anything you want?Whatever you want, let me know. "

This time, it was a shade that was completely clogged in words.
