Chapter 190: Dragonia Empire
The floor was damp.
It is not uncommon for modern people to feel the damp stone floor and the moss in the cracks on their skin.
Ugh…
No matter how long I’ve been stuck on the floor I get chills all over my body.
[──Riya.]
It’s cold it’s cold… Someone please give me a blanket…
[Hariya!]
Wowwak! Oh don’t sleep!
Sometime after graduating from school the answer he gave back reflexively. Hari sighed in relief when she realized that she was not in a classroom or at work.
No this is not the time! This is a prison!
[Did you know that now?]
Mossy damp stone floors and rusty grates. Hari turned her gaze to the incarnation of the Poma god asking what happened to it.
[Karina. Didn’t that child subdue you?]
What Karina? Karina? His Majesty Leon’s daughter?!
[okay.]
Why is Leon’s daughter herself? No if you think about it it was natural for her.
From someone else’s point of view he is an intruder who has fallen under the imperial palace. It would be natural to subdue them and put them in prison.
Ugh clear up the misunderstanding!
Etch! Etch!
Hari keeps coughing. The Poma god shrugged the back of the long turtle neck.
[I can’t help it because I lay on my stomach.]
Huh… I didn’t expect to fall asleep on the prison floor…
It’s because of my preference for clothes which is usually pointed out but I have no intention of changing it. God Poma thought that his priestess was very desirable.
[It’s very desirable for Hari to bare her armpits side breasts navel and thighs.]
Sounds like a perverted old man again…
[I miss it~ The owner of this sea in his heyday enjoyed fortunes with many virgins.]
Indeed the god of the sea. It was like a male god who ordered a nude statue of a goddess to be hung on the athlete’s statue on the subject of saying that it is illegal to ride a woman on a boat.
You’re still revealing a woman horny god. Do you still hang a cute priestess on the player’s statue these days?
Hearing the voice echoing in the prison Hari’s eyes turn to that direction.
A place where a few lights come out in a dark prison. An ebony-black woman was descending from the entrance of the hallway.
[Ahaelogo who still does not know how to honor God. Although your father serves God more than anyone else.]
Poma God clicked his tongue at the woman behind the bars and said.
“Because I had a father like that.”
A woman who asks indifferently. Harry asked carefully raising her head.
That… Karina Grand Duke of Dragonia?
It’s been a while since I’ve been called by that name. The last time Delbosque died was when I called him.
The woman Carina Dragonia recalled her true title which had not been called for a long time and fell into memories.
Hari thought it looked just like Leon who had once been lost in thought.
“I Grand Duke Your Excellency.”
Now you’re dead. I don’t know if you’re in this position but if you’re in the imperial palace it’s a mortal sin that wouldn’t be enough even if you cut your throat. Didn’t you learn such manners while being with the Lion Heart King?
“Lungs lungs haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…”
Hari crouching down. From what Hari experienced while dealing with Leon these Lionheart’s powerful people are not a joke they are real powerful people.
Because what they asked about etiquette was not an extension of social life like Earth but the order that comes from the real difference in class.
Huh Your Majesty?
Tell me the goddess of the sea. Hmm… that’s strange. I feel another divinity in you.
Karina felt puzzled and entered the prison. The heavy bars had no meaning in front of the Dragonian emperor’s grip.
Lungs Your Majesty?
Stay still.
Karina scanned Hari’s head carefully and then as if she couldn’t sense something she touched her face and felt the touch.
“Lung Your Majesty!
You look like a young girl but why do you leave your belly button out? Didn’t you learn that if you put your belly button out on the cold floor you’ll get in trouble?
L it’s fashion!
How long have you been squatting like that? Karina said in surprise.
“Is it the holy power of the god Petos? Could it be that the god of the sea is thinking of embracing a flame that is incompatible with himself?”
[Accurately I beat the one he dropped.]
Heh. Lord Vulcanus is barely able to handle it but he’s greedy.
[That’s right.]
Carina looked back at Hari as she came out of the prison door.
Come out. I’ll pass the crime of trespassing the imperial palace to this extent.
Ugh go it wasn’t intentional…
As Hari did to Leon he followed suit using a clumsy historical drama tone. And whenever she passed by the soldiers and maids of the imperial palace prostrated themselves.
‘A little… different.’
I saw many people bowing down and bowing down to the king. Even in the narrow tent of Lionheart Kingdom the soldiers and people did their best to show respect to Leon.
But what’s in it is trust and respect. It is a feeling that comes from the heart. but······.
‘Fear… fear. It’s not as good as what I’ve seen with serfs…’
Feelings close to subservience rather than loyalty are felt from them.
It was strange.
Karina whom Hari met and the Grand Duke of Dragonia who left for the north with 30000 soldiers for revenge had soldiers who risked their lives to follow.
There was no coercive atmosphere or feelings of subservience from them they just followed the Grand Duke they should have followed.
The chamberlain.
Yes yes! Your Majesty!
The old chamberlain bowed deeply in front of Karina.
Prepare a guest room.
The chamberlain did not glance at Hari or ask whom to prepare. just obey
I the great… Your Majesty.
What is it?
Hari thought there was something she must say before heading to the room where the chamberlain was preparing. Why doesn’t Karina ask herself about him?
Your Majesty… Regarding Your Majesty Leon—
Karina raised her hand to stop Hari. Her expression was infinitely near nothingness but the air she exuded was ferocious.
I’ll be back soon. You don’t have to argue.
Still His Majesty Leon His Majesty…
“······!!”
The eyes of the people around her turned to Hari. He bowed straight away as if he did not dare to commit the rudeness of looking at the emperor but even Hari could feel how shocked they were.
in that gaze. Hari lowered her head under silent pressure but in the middle of it she inadvertently noticed.
Karina’s eyes which were like the blue sky like Leon’s had turned red to the point of ominous.
He’ll take care of it. It’s none of your business.
Yes yes…
Karina put her hand on Hari’s shoulder who was avoiding her gaze. she grinned.
Anyway it’s a bit disappointing that you’re a woman. You could have been a pretty good candidate.
Yes? What is that…
For the time being I plan to watch. Things from ‘beyond the gate’ invading my empire. If it’s not a demon I have the patience to keep an eye on it.
???!
Hari takes a shaky breath. Her chamberlain hurriedly led her as if to prevent her from acting more abruptly.
Come with me my honored guest.
Ah yes…
Hari was led to the inner palace by the hand of the chief chamberlain. The guest room upon arrival is so gorgeous that it seems to overwhelm the guests rather than treat them.
“Then if you need anything call me anytime.”
“Yes….”
Anyway it is a proper break after half a day of arriving here. Hari hugged the tortoise the incarnation of the Poma god and threw herself on the bed.
Haa… It’s the second time I’ve seen you but somehow… I’m overwhelmed by the atmosphere.
[·······.]
Poma?
Hari lifted up Foma who had no answer. The tortoise’s protruding face is somewhere in thought.
[This is true… My lighthouse is open to hardships in many ways.]
What are you saying…?
[It’s vague but it’s a family affair. But you’ll find out soon.]
Hari pouted at the ambiguous tone of the poma god. Gods… I wondered if it would be okay if I told you about them in an easy-to-understand way.
[By the way Hari. Let’s check what that quest is.]
Ah that’s right. I was inside the gate here. It’s such a normal world that I forgot to check.
I’ve seen many gates so far but this one is a little different from the others.
If the existing gates were like fragments of a destroyed world this place is something… should it be called a different world?
Isn’t it just a reenactment of the past like Sir Geobrick’s time…? Anyway the quest…
A privilege given to Hunters who have awakened on Earth. Hari opened her golden eyes wide as she checked the system message floating in the air.
Huh? Huh?!
What the hell is this?!
* * * *
This world was invaded by demons.
More than 300 years ago countless countries collapsed under the invasion of demons and the world seemed to collapse at the hands of Meltimofol the demon prince of lust.
But at some point the invasion of demons lost momentum.
Their infinite lives were still the same but their numbers themselves had shrunk… Most of the most notorious demons Meltimofol and his archdevils never appeared again.
Historians wondered at the void of this period as the world was on the verge of destruction.
When the 100 years passed when the erosion of the demons subsided they returned again.
The Grand Duke of Rape Meltimofol the nightmare of the world has returned.
The kingdoms have not yet recovered their strength from the demonic invasion. Not only that but now that the demons have retreated they saw an opportunity to devour the weakened neighboring countries.
You’re stupid.
Yes it was foolish.
The old historian looked back on the history of the past which was older than his own life and helped himself. He continued to explain the history of the empire to this noble-looking person who came to visit him.
But that day demons weren’t the only ones who appeared in this world.
Carina Dragonia.
She appeared in this world with tens of thousands of troops.
They were strong. Even the demons feared them.
At the time when the world was in despair at the reappearance of demons this otherworldly legion began slaughtering demons.
They defended the city on behalf of the army that collapsed due to the appearance of demons and marched nonstop even in winter… hunting demons like vengeful demons.
Legion of dragons. It was a myth. Without a lot of cross-validation it would be unbelievable.
Also because there was living evidence the old historian acknowledged that it was real history not a false myth or legend.
However humans were foolish. The kingdoms of the earth were afraid of the dragon legion.
At first they treated the Legion and its commander Carina Dragonia lavishly. Each set out to secure her legion to enlist her knights and her warriors.
However they were not seduced by any suggestion and just slaughtered the demons in silence.
that’s too much
Because it is unacceptably superhuman.
Ordinary people interpreted the intention differently.
After they hunt all the demons who will be next?
It was a revolting incident that was caused by such suspicion.
At that time the allied forces of the seven kingdoms raided the victorious dragon army after a long bloody battle with Grand Duke Gangyok.
On this day most of the dragon legion exhausted from fighting the demons died—
It’s an incident in which 850000 of the allied forces of the seven kingdoms were slaughtered.
In normal warfare casualties of more than 20% are rare even if they are defeated.
Especially if it is a pre-modern war involving cold weapons.
However on that day most of the Kingdom Alliance forces that attacked the dragon corps did not survive.
As if he couldn’t even think of running away… he was just slaughtered on the spot.
After that the massacre continued.
The leaders of the betrayed kingdom. forces that are aligned with it.
All of them died at the hands of the surviving Dragon Legion and the Grand Duke of Dragonia.
Seven kingdoms that were so foolish were destroyed and a new empire was founded upon them.
Dragonian Empire.
The most powerful empire in history that worships and worships the absolute power of Karina Dragonia like a god.
Thus the reign of the Dragonian Emperor which lasted for over 200 years began.
is it······.
Leon regretted that she had repeated the history of exhausting battles like himself.
And I was relieved.
It means that the child is still alive and well despite the long neglect of the father.
That was what Leon was most grateful for and it was a relief.
Karina… where should I go to meet the Dragonian Emperor?
Oh don’t talk like that. You could die if you visit the imperial palace recklessly.
What did you mean by that?
Your Majesty… No where the hell are you from so you don’t even know this?
Just understand that you’ve come from afar commoner. My time is not wasted trying to satisfy your curiosity.
······.
From the time the flower shop owner brought him he knew that he was not an ordinary person but the old historian had a hunch that this man was real.
That’s why I thought it was dangerous to ask about the situation of a high-ranking person so I gave up my curiosity about Leon.
His Majesty doesn’t usually come out of the imperial palace. The easiest way to see him… Well these days that’s the best.
What is it?
Here Leon did not think of the undignified act of rushing into the imperial palace.
Even though it is a different world Karina is clearly the emperor’s body here. Then he himself had to give her the honor of her emperor.
If he knocked on the imperial palace door unexpectedly the faithful guards would quarrel but if a commoner quarrels with the king Leon has no choice but to punish the rudeness even by beating him.
If so it would be the case of beating the emperor’s guards so Karina’s face would not be able to stand.
[If you look closely my articles tend to be more boring than mine.]
‘Lion Heart King this is the law to set an example for others.’
[Yes yes.]
The lion heart king kept his stature at the goddess’s sarcasm but soon according to the old historian’s words he could not even keep his noble stature.
How about participating in His Majesty’s courtship duel? Thanks to that the whole empire is buzzing.
“What is it——?!”
[Quest: National Spirit.]
Clear Condition: Succeed in marrying ‘Karina Dragonia’ the emperor of the Dragonian Empire.
