Chapter 35: Founding the Nation (1)

The news that Prince Sion Agnes was the first to suppress the disaster quickly spread throughout the capital.

At first, it was not known because he quietly went out with only one subordinate and returned, but as news of the steel fortress spread later, it spread rapidly.

Thanks to this, the name of Zion Agnes was once again soaring in the recent capital city.

Of course, other royal families were all successful in suppressing disasters and increasing their reputation, but they were nothing compared to Zion.

He subdued two disasters, including the phantom army, and was the first to succeed.

And another element added to it made the subjugation of Zion stand out even more.

“Just two people went on a campaign?”

There was surprise in Deanna’s eyes when she received Lloyd’s report in the office of the Blue Castle Palace.

This was information I personally researched because I couldn’t understand why Shion returned first.

“yes. So there was almost no time to go on a mission or return. And from what I learned, as soon as they arrived at the steel fortress, they immediately defeated the monster army the next morning.”

“that is… … Is it possible? Of course, I know that there was a legion stationed in the fortress, but wasn’t it impossible to subdue them alone?”

“That’s right. So I looked into it further, and it turned out that the red-eyed woman who went with Prince Sion instantly summoned a legion of summoned beasts on the battlefield.”

“!!!!!!”

At those words, the 5th princess’s eyes were filled with astonishment.

I have never in my life ever heard of a single wizard summoning an army.

“Does that make sense?”

“They say all the soldiers on the battlefield saw it.”

“Ha, what is that… … “No.”

A light of understanding slowly began to appear in Deanna’s eyes, which had been denying those words.

Come to think of it, even when Sion was suppressing the phantom army, he went out alone with a woman named Lina.

At the time, I thought it was help from the Gray Lions and ignored it, but when I heard this and thought about it, it seemed like even then, Zion had already used that woman to subdue the phantom army.

“I knew it was strong, but I never thought it would be that much.”

It was safe to say that it was comparable to ‘Seven Heavens’.

Where on earth did Zion get such power?

I really couldn’t understand.

“under… … .”

I felt like I was moving further and further away from the throne.

Quickly shaking off that feeling, Deanna organized the current competition for the throne in her head.

‘In terms of legitimacy, Zion is the most advantageous.’

Because he was designated as the official successor by the late Emperor Urdios.

However, this only gave a little more power to the few imperial nobles and had no particular meaning.

And that was what was unique about the empire.

The orders of Emperor Agnes, who is no different from the ruler of the world, are supreme and take precedence over all others.

‘But not about the succession.’

To be precise, it was correct to say that the emperor’s influence on the succession competition was not that great.

‘Power over legitimacy.’

It has been a trend that has continued since the Eternal Emperor Orrelion, who founded the Agnes Empire, and has never changed.

Therefore, all the emperors of the past ascended to the throne after crushing or subduing all of their other brothers and sisters with their own strength and power.

Among them, there were some who were designated as formal successors by the late emperor and some who were not, but there were no exceptions to the process.

Only then could he be considered qualified to rule an empire that ruled the entire world and be recognized by the military gods as a true emperor.

‘This is why the secret struggle within the imperial castle is tacitly tolerated.’

Therefore, the question of legitimacy was not very meaningful if Agnes was a direct blood relative, and the principle of primogeniture that existed in ancient countries did not exist.

The reason why when the late emperor Urdios nominated Sion as his successor, the other royal family members resisted but accepted him.

‘Even though his father was not the official successor in the first place, he killed all his other siblings and became emperor… … .’

This was also the reason why the word crown prince was not used.

Because it had no meaning anyway.

‘In terms of power, other royal families still have the upper hand… … .’

I also didn’t know when it would catch up.

In addition, due to the superiority in the competition for the throne given to Sion due to the suppression of this disaster, the gap will narrow even more quickly.

‘That advantage was the leadership in the ‘World Conference’ that was to be held in the future.’

Agnes World Conference.

It was the largest meeting held in the empire, with even representatives from the Giant Colony, Fairy Forest, and Water Man Sea, known as the Outer World, attending.

Representatives of the Apocrypha usually considered the imperial family leading the world council to be the next emperor.

Therefore, naturally, power was given to the leading royal family, and this inevitably served as a huge advantage in the formation of power.

“Plus, if it turns out that Zion is a descendant of the Eternal… … .”

After that, I didn’t even want to think about it.

Deanna, who was lost in thought for a moment, called out Lloyd, the captain of Igracia’s 1st division, who was next to her.

“Lloyd.”

“yes.”

“I will visit the fairy forest soon. “Know that.”

“All right.”

With those words, Deanna turns her head out the window.

In her eyes, she began to see people busy preparing for the National Foundation Festival, which was just one day away.

* * *

Agnes Konkukje.

It was literally a festival commemorating the founding of the Agnes Empire, and was one of the largest festivals in the empire.

It lasted for four days and nights, and was so large that people gathered from all over the empire to enjoy the festival.

Such a founding ceremony was held exactly two days after all the imperial family had completed the subjugation and returned to the imperial castle.

Since it was originally an event held to coincide with the National Foundation Day, it could not be postponed, so the festival was held before the cleanup of the large-scale disaster was completely completed.

Is it because all the royal family returned with the sound of victory?

This year’s International Foundation Festival was held on a grander scale than last year.

Baamparabaam!

Parades marched through the streets throughout the capital, and countless performances included dancing, singing, and playing musical instruments.

In addition, even though it was night, the streets were lit up and the street vendors lined up were adding to the excitement of the festival.

“Mom, over there! “I want to go there!”

“Yes, it’s good to go, but you’ll get lost, so you have to hold hands.”

A huge crowd of people filled the streets.

And among them,

“It’s right there, Your Majesty.”

Sion and his party were also there.

Shion, who changed her hair and eye color, and her subordinates who follow her in disguise.

After returning from defeating the monster army, there was some time before the next plan, and Sion took advantage of that time to come out of the castle for a moment.

Of course, there was another reason why Shion, who doesn’t like loud and complicated things, came all the way here.

“From what our ‘shadow’ found out, that place sells the most delicious coffee out of all the stores here.”

It was because of coffee.

During this year’s National Foundation Festival, Zion learned that there was a ‘coffee street’ where street vendors specializing in selling coffee were gathered, and came all the way here to see it.

Zion’s interest in coffee was growing day by day.

“No, Your Highness. We analyzed it at ‘Eye of the Moon’ and found that the place two blocks across from there had the best acidity and the highest density of scent. “Let’s go there.”

Eileen, who was next to Thierry, denied what he said and pointed to another store, as if she had been waiting for him.

“I don’t know on what basis you are saying that. Your Majesty prefers a mild scent rather than one that is too strong. And I understand that the store you mentioned has a strong scent that numbs the nostrils.”

“Wouldn’t the scent depend on the scent? And the store they chose used beans of a worse quality than ours. “Do you want your majesty to eat something like that?”

“The quality of the coffee beans is important, but what is more important than that… … .”

It seemed like there was something profound, but it was a completely useless conversation.

“… … .”

Shion walked on, listening to the conversation between the two.

I didn’t even ask him to follow me, so I couldn’t understand why he came and helped me out like this.

Since they are the same information organization, has there been a sense of competition between them?

“Uh, sir! “It’s carbonated, so you can’t shake it!”

“Carbonated? What is that… … .”

Fu Chemical!

On the other side, Liu Shina, who had dyed her hair and eyes brown, was putting on a fountain show, scattering soda she bought at a street vendor in all directions.

It seemed like carbonation didn’t exist before she was sealed.

“No sugar, just cold.”

It was time for Shion to order coffee, pretending not to be with Liu Sina.

“Did you hear that? Rumor has it that the last remaining scourge, the ‘root-gnawing snake,’ has been subdued.”

The conversation of people in the next stall could be heard in Zion’s ears.

“what? “Is that really true?”

“okay. I also heard this news a while ago. “Of course, I’m not sure.”

“Could it be that the empire sent troops in the meantime?”

“No, they said it wasn’t an army, but a small number of people. Are there two?”

“ha ha ha! what? two people? Where have you been hearing nonsense? “Let’s go have a drink.”

“No, really. That’s really what I heard… … .”

The voice becomes increasingly distant and disconnected.

Because of this, he couldn’t listen to the end, but a faint smile appeared on Shion’s lips, as he had already obtained all the information he needed to obtain.

‘It looks like it was successful.’

Most likely, it will be a group of warriors.

Now, because of this incident, his name will begin to become known, and when that happens, his journey as a full-fledged warrior will begin.

It wasn’t a bad thing because it was all what Shion himself intended.

‘Naturally, the number of colleagues will increase.’

From Zion’s perspective, the growth of the warriors was a joy.

Depending on how you use it, it can help with Shion’s own plans and progress the main story more favorably.

Plus, it was needed to catch the demon lord later.

In the first place, the very existence of a hero specialized in killing demon lords.

‘He’s the devil… … .’

Shion took a sip of the iced coffee that came out before he knew it and thought about things about the devil.

Devil.

In fact, even as Zion, who read the Chronicles to the end, he did not know exactly what kind of being the Demon King was.

Because the Demon King has never directly appeared in the chronicles.

A transcendent being who is crouched in the deepest part of the demon realm and is revered and worshiped by all the monsters in the world.

‘In the chronicle, the warrior’s party could not even reach the Demon King.’

At that time, the military power of the warrior’s party was beyond imagination, but even so, they were only a small number without any support force.

Therefore, the limits were clear, and not even the Demon King, nor even the Four Grand Dukes directly subordinate to him, could break through them all.

‘If the Empire and the Church of Light had provided proper support, the outcome could have been different.’

I couldn’t do that.

After the death of Evelyn Agnes, who thought she should help the warrior, the chaos in the empire grew out of control, and in the meantime, the Church of Light also became endangered.

‘That’s why I have no idea how much power the Demon King has.’

Since it is clearly the final boss of the Chronicles, it must have a level of strength that is different from other beings.

In fact, I had even more expectations.

When Sion herself regains all of her original power, how much pleasure will the Demon King give her?

‘In order to do that, I need to raise the level of the Black Star more quickly.’

It was raised to 4 stars in less than half a year, but Shion thought even this was slow.

Actually, it was true that I was slow because of my body.

In the original world, the level of Black Star that Zion reached was 8 Stars.

Simply looking at the numbers, what we had accumulated so far and what we would raise in the future were similar, but the power that increased with each increase was incomparable.

‘Up to 5 stars within a month.’

When Zion concludes his thoughts,

“You guys there!”

An old, grumpy voice came from the side.

When I turned my head, I saw an old woman looking directly at Shion and the group following her.

An old woman with pure white hair, wearing a necklace and earrings and smiling with a wrinkled face.

In front of the old woman sitting in the tent, there was a bead with a strange light shining on it.

“Do you ever want to see your fortune?”

Soon, the old woman showed her yellow teeth and asked Zion.
