With his eyes closed, Hades looked in the direction of his voice.
A gentleman-like man throws confused soldiers away, slaps them with a stick, and drives them away.Hades knew the face he chased from behind.
This is General South, a magnificent soldier with a tough face.
"Underboss, that's not how it works.Invite Cratos humans to the temple and more! "
"Don't be silly. It's your only hope. You're telling me to turn him away?Besides, I heard that there are only about twenty people, including the guards, there is nothing wrong. "
"Cratos is a magical power.It's not uncommon for a magician to crush a platoon. "
"Then don't make me mad!Not to mention that Cratos was not an enemy state during the war.It is diplomacy to treat people politely and come home in a good mood.There are idiots who don't know anything about politics at all. "
"But according to Georg, the Kratos kingdom is definitely targeting the Dragon Queen's artifact in Lardea."
"What is Georg? That's a traitor, traitor!"
General South kept quiet. A nobleman called an aide snorts around.
"Guys, I don't suppose you've forgotten that we're looking for you.I think I can stay in Lardea because of who. "
"... thank you, Underboss, for accepting us."
"Yes, don't forget that.Without me, the Imperial Army will attack us here. Pull it up as soon as you know. "
South stretched out his spine to the opponent with a lowly smile.
I can't accept that.
"What the hell!"
"We are the Imperial Army, we have a duty to protect our country!"
"What an Imperial army, rebellious!"
The angry aide shook the deck and hit the South.The surrounding soldiers tried to help, but the South controlled it with his right hand without moving slightly.
"Whatever you say, I can't give it up.This is Georg's last order! "
"Then why don't you petition the Emperor?I'm sure you won't listen to me, but in the Imperial Capital, Prince Vissel has already expelled your people and formed a new Imperial Army! "
"--Still, we... no, we're not alone."
"What are you dreaming about? There's no place for you anymore."
"Yes, yes, wait a minute."
Grabbing the swinging deck, Hades walked in between South and the Underboss.
Southwest, who seems to have been hit in the cheek, blinks, and the aide turns a little blind.
"No, what are you, suddenly!"
"I'm a bakery in town."
"Pa, pa, bakery?"
Hades nods with a smile to his upset aide.
"I knew there was a reason for both.So let's not fight. I wonder if we can all apologize to the Emperor now! "
"What about it?"
Hades answers with his index finger up to the overlapping voices around him.
"Even His Majesty the Emperor wants to protect Lardea.There is also the Dragon Queen's artifact, and the Emperor loves the Dragon Queen!Oh, you know, the current dragon queen is still eleven years old, but she's so cute and so cool! "
……
"I have defended Lardea, and if I kneel down to pledge allegiance in the future, the Emperor will consider how to treat me.Instead, I think the Emperor will sometimes fall on his knees! "
That's a pretty good idea. With a full smile, Hades suggests to the surroundings listening in a daze.
"So, let's all apologize to the Emperor now!That solves everything!? "
After a while, the trembling aide yells.
"Grab this bakery!"
"Ha-ha!"
And Hadis was thrown out of the temple by soldiers who heard the orders of the Underboss.
Hades sat triangularly on the spot and nodded.
"Why... I thought you'd listen to me if I were not the emperor but the baker..."
Hiccup Rave's face came out from behind.
Are you serious, you stupid emperor?
"Because if Jill eats delicious bread, he'll do me a favor!I wonder if bread didn't fit my mouth!? "
"You haven't eaten yet. That's not the problem in the first place."
"Hey, bakery!"
Hadis stopped sitting in the triangle and looked back at the voice he heard from the entrance to the temple.It was General South who came running.Rave disappeared into his body like he knew it.
"It's for the bread. I heard you haven't given it to me yet."
"Ah, thank you for taking the trouble..."
"Besides, I didn't say thank you for being saved.Thank you. How pathetic of the General to be rescued by the bakery.Well, soldiers are weak to nobles. "
He handed the bag containing the money to Hadis who stood up and smiled with his eyes wide open.
"I can see women making noise in the city.Yes, I ate bread while chasing.It went well and was quick. "
"So you didn't feel like apologizing to the Emperor?"
"... what an interesting bakery.We know very well that we are traitors.But we must do justice. "
"But it's not good to fool one of the city."
I wonder if it hurt when I was punched.South has shut up.
The people of the city believed that Georg, the Grand Duke of Ladea, had left behind an order that had been approved by the Empire.I don't dream of being a rebel Imperial soldier on my own.I don't doubt it because it protects the city.
"What happens to the evacuation order when the battle really begins?We can't involve the residents of Ladea. "
"--Lord Railzatz and Lord Neutral are next door.I'm sure you'll do something about it.And Craitos is still a servant, and Prince Vissel will never abandon his people. "
"... you don't want to kneel before the Emperor, no matter what?"
"Naturally, we didn't come to Georg with the semi-subsistence."
"How did you get there?"
After a little silence, South moved his mouth.
"When Georg was young, I was saved in battle.It's been peaceful for the last 20 years or so, but there used to be a lot of skirmishes.A lot of people picked up places they lost their way in the war. "
"You saved my life?"
"Yes, everyone's life has been saved by Georg.And Master Georg was worthy of saving his life.How many times have you had your heart broken by your desire to protect the Loewe Empire?... I don't want to believe that you weren't Rowe.So I can't kneel to the Dragon Emperor.When we knelt down on the Dragon Emperor, I felt that Georg's defeat would be decisive. "
South laughs at Hades with his eyebrows frowned.
"Don't you see? I see, it sounds like a gesture.But we're happy.You can save your life and meet your back, and you still have orders to fulfill.The Imperial Army will be unhappy if it stays in the capital. "
"Even if what you're doing has disrupted the Loewe Empire?"
"For us, the Rave Empire was like Georg.... I realized that I couldn't fulfill Georg's other will.Master Georg was our homeland. "
South pushes Hades' back, not knowing what to say back.
"Nice bread. Bring it back tomorrow, if you like."
Hades, who was dropped off with a smile, was alone.
"It's hard... it's troublesome"
"Don't bother. Good luck."
Hades exhaled long and deep breaths, saying that the dragon god was comfortable just by showing his face.
