< Episode 224. To change fate >
An artificial floating island floating in the sky above the Empire.
The emperor was there tending to the plants as usual.
“Why did you show up after not showing up for a while?”
The emperor’s words rang hollow in that place where no one seemed to be there except the emperor.
“I am devastated, Your Majesty.”
“It’s a disaster and I’m telling you to go to sleep and explain why.”
“I had urgent business to do at Portreon.”
“Was that more important than the burden or the sin?”
“It was more important than sin, but I dare not compare it to Your Majesty.”
The emperor looked at Hagel, who had appeared with drowsy eyes.
“Did you know it would turn out like this?”
“No way. However, as your Majesty knows, our assembly was an organization that was difficult to unify with one opinion, so it was impossible to control it.”
“That’s no excuse.”
The emperor slowly stood up from where he was sitting.
Soon, energy spread from the sword tied to his waist to his entire body, and a purple aura began to cover his entire body.
“I don’t care about war. In the first place, I don’t even think of the little fights I had with the barbarians as war. More than that, anger, where is the anger now?”
“I will definitely bring it back later.”
“later? Jim knows that the revolt of the existing kingdoms was the work of a few warlocks. Very busy, yes.”
Hagel bowed his head with a troubled expression.
As the assembly was an organization without a leader, each faction acted individually.
Although it was so free and many things were possible at the same time, there were many cases like this where it was out of control.
“I want you to show it with action rather than just making promises like that.”
“I will definitely do that.”
“Let’s go now. “There’s a lot of work to be done because of the kingdoms playing games below.”
Hagel took off his fedora, bowed politely, and disappeared.
The Emperor, who was still emitting purple aura, clicked his tongue.
“Tsk. “Is it time to throw it away?”
The power of arrogance was at its peak.

“Bahat Alven. “I don’t know why you’re here, but you have a good sense of humor.”
Mak Si-min spoke calmly.
Of course, if his identity was revealed, I was the only one who would be in trouble, and Mak Simin was just confident.
“Is it safe to say that we have continued to interact since we last visited the Academy?”
“well.”
Maximin shrugged his shoulders and pushed Monsieur’s back.
Then Monsieur ran towards Kairak.
“father!”
Kairak held Monsieur in his arms and watched his surroundings.
The will to never lose a child again was evident.
“Once it’s confirmed, we’ll leave. “As soon as we leave, I want the units in each region to retreat and retreat.”
“i get it.”
“And there’s no need to create a contract for the details of the transaction, right? “I believe that warriors who know honor will keep their promises.”
“okay.”
This was the end of the barbarians.
I turned my head to look at Mak Simin, sighed once, and walked towards him.
“Let’s go.”
“Adrias. “I guess your conversation with me isn’t over yet.”
I felt Bahat grinning in the back of my head.
When I slowly turned my head to look at him, Bahat smiled and said.
“I hope you don’t forget that I turned a blind eye and helped you.”
“I’ll tell you once we get out of here. “I don’t want to stay here any longer and get caught up in something unnecessary.”
“I understand.”
I wasn’t too worried because my specialty was talking around words.
If I was going to say something about Mak Simin or me for trying to end the war on our own in the first place, something would have happened a long time ago.
We left the Wailing Gorge and returned to the nearest territory, Borgien.
The lord of Borgyen, Hicksham Borgyen, had returned, and he clearly looked embarrassed by Bahat’s unexpected visit.
“If I had known you would come like this, I would have prepared in advance…”
“Not required. Rather, I would like you to guide me to a place where we can talk quietly.”
Hicksham will probably be in quite a bit of trouble once this is over.
It would be natural since they abandoned their territory and fled during the war, but thanks to this world being infinitely generous to nobles, their territory will not be taken away.
A total of four people entered the room that Hicksham guided them to.
It was me, Bahat, Maximin, and Evan.
‘It’s luxurious.’
It’s not like they’re all-star members, it’s like 3 of the 10 continental members together.
Bahat seemed to know Maksimin’s identity, but Evan seemed unaware.
“I didn’t know you were here.”
Mak Si-min was the first to open his mouth.

He was talking to Evan, but Evan just smiled leisurely.
“Now that I think about it, it was you who recommended Adrias to me.”
“It is by following the guidance of light.”
At the sudden conversation between the two, Bahat looked at me with a look in his eyes as if asking what this was.
Since it wasn’t something I could necessarily hide, I said it casually.
“This is Sir Evan. “He was active in the Holy Kingdom.”
“Evan von Orléon?”
Bahat looked at Evan in surprise.
Evan then bowed his head politely and corrected Bahat’s words.
“There is no longer a surname called Orléon. “Please feel free to call me Evan.”
“Huh, really. Why is Sir Evan with you? “There are a lot of things that need explaining, including Maximin Cronell and this matter.”
Need an explanation?
I answered simply.
“Sir Evan has decided to become my vassal. And Mak Si-min also helped me with this matter with my help last time.”
“haha. “It seems like the answer has been omitted quite a bit, but I can’t ask why.”
Bahat looked all over us and tapped his fingers on the armrests of his chair.
A regular sound echoed through the room, and soon Bahat spoke again.
“Are you planning on conquering the continent by using two of the ten people on the continent?”
“Is that so?”
“joy. Smirking guy. I have more questions than that. “Why did you try to end the war?”
Since you said it was sly, let me try to answer slyly again.
“Like I said, it’s for the greater good. “It would be a waste to shed blood for unnecessary reasons.”
“The current question is not a joke. The top of your family’s name is already aware of the profits earned from this war. Besides, I am already aware of your dealings with Morhaime.”
“What the Magic Tower Lord said supports my opinion.”
“······You really prevented the war for the greater good?”
“From what you said, the longer the war continues, the better for me. But I took risks and tried to end the war. “If this fact were known to other nobles or the royal family, I would have been in quite a difficult situation.”
“I don’t understand. “Why bother buying it and going through the trouble and losing money?”
Evan and Maximin also listened to our conversation and looked at me with strange expressions.
However, there was no need to explain the sins or the emperor to them.
“I know it sounds funny. But it was really to save everyone.”
It is true that the great cause was preserved because a catastrophic scenario was prevented.
It wasn’t wrong, so I was able to say something embarrassing with pride.
“Adrias Cromwell. “You really don’t understand.”
“I have already taken care of my share. “It’s not like I didn’t take care of it, so you don’t have to look at it strangely.”
There was a bit of silence.
Everyone seemed lost in their thoughts, and I was relieved that I had gotten over the situation well.
“Originally, I was planning to ask for something in return for my help this time. You could say that you are the biggest beneficiary of this war. But I changed my mind.”
Bahat stood up.
“No matter how much you think about it, there is no benefit to you in exchange for ending the war. Rather, it is a loss. Moreover, he committed such a crazy act of going into the enemy camp alone, taking on enormous risk…”
“It was possible thanks to Sir Evan.”
“okay. It’s not like the reputation of the top 10 people on the continent is going anywhere. But apart from that, if anyone other than me had found out about this, you would have been politically buried.”
“I am always grateful to the Lord of the Magic Tower.”
“I have to go now. “If I want to send the retreating enemies away, I will have to step in and interfere with our troops.”
He glanced at Maximin and Evan one last time before leaving and smiled.
“Maximin Cronell and Evan von Orléon… Interesting, fun.”
When he disappeared using magic, the empty space left was empty.
There was silence for a moment, then Evan opened his mouth.
“My lord, you didn’t expect to meet me in the first place, did you?”
“yes? “Yes, I am.”
“So, were you planning on entering the enemy camp alone?”
Evan’s question was too late.
Did you finally realize it because of Bahat’s question?
“I had undead with me anyway.”
“Even so, it seems reckless. “Should I say he is my lord?”
Evan smiled leisurely and drank the tea on the table.
Mak Si-min, who was watching Evan, spoke after him.
“Anyway, it’s amazing. “I thought you were a snob, but you’re talking about a great cause.”
“I am also human.”
“Who said no? In fact, it seems more like a person to be a snob. “Speaking for a greater cause, on the other hand, is not human-like.”
Mak Si-min’s dry smile spread across his lips.
It felt a little awkward because it was my first time seeing him smile.
“Be honest. Evan and I are on your side anyway. “What was the real reason for trying to end the war?”
“To change fate.”
“what?”
I smiled at the dumbfounded Mak Simin.
“I can’t give up on even one person, so I’m going to be a little greedy.”
**
The barbarians quickly retreated.
Perhaps thanks to Bahat, the empire’s troops were warmer than expected, and the barbarians were able to retreat safely.
In the first place, there were no problems because the empire’s full attention was focused on the alliance of kingdoms in the southwestern region.
The Southwestern Kingdom Alliance seemed to be cautious as the Empire withdrew the barbarians without causing as much damage as expected, and as a result, the situation did not escalate into a full-scale war and resulted in only minor provocations.
“Oppa, the clothes are ready here, can I come in?”
I opened the door when I heard Amy’s voice coming from outside the room door.
“This is it. how is it?”
“uh. “It’s okay.”
He nodded towards Amy, who was holding up the attire she had prepared for the banquet.
She was so busy right after the end of the war that she was tired, so this banquet will be a bit of a break.
“What about your clothes?”
“Of course I’m ready! “I prepared it before my brother.”
When I saw her looking quite happy, I was also happy.
It’s a banquet where you can’t help but feel good.
It was a place to hold a banquet and a banquet to commemorate the end of the war with the barbarians.
‘Morhaime went on a pretty splendid rampage.’
Duke Morhaime fought much better than I expected.
Thanks to this, Amy was running a happy circuit, thinking that she might be able to receive at least a small estate combined with the achievements I had made in Mayton.
Even if I got the estate, Amy would manage it, so nothing would change in my life, but I couldn’t help but feel strange.
“Your Excellency, a guest has arrived.”
“Please guide me to the parlor.”
And academy students who participated in the war were also invited to this banquet.
Since it was a banquet I was going to attend, I called him here to go with him, and it seemed like he had arrived just in time.
“I’ll go get ready then.”
“okay.”
After Amy left, I walked towards the living room.
‘Youngjira…’
It was a banquet that I was also looking forward to.
