Episode 106
“Hero!”
As soon as I came out of the throne room, Myrune came towards me.
he hurriedly asked me.
“How have you been…”
“Well done. His Majesty readily agreed.”
“That word…!”
“Yes, there is no need to be bound by the duties of an imperial knight.”
At my words, Myrun’s expression immediately brightened.
In the first place, the duties of an imperial knight did not suit him.
misfit.
I was forced to wear it to suit my father’s wishes, so it deserves such joy.
“It seems that the position of an imperial knight was quite burdensome.”
“Oh did you see that? Ha ha ha not really… …”
Myrun smiled bitterly and drooped his shoulders.
“The article itself is good. However, the proper duty as a knight… …I must say it was different from what I expected. It is certainly an honor to protect Your Majesty… …“
Doesn’t that mean you wanted to save more people?”
“Yes that’s right.”
The duty of an Imperial Knight is simple.
To protect the emperor and the imperial palace.
To punish any villain who might reach out to the heart of the Empire.
When imperial knights go out, they exist, but not for the people of the empire.
only for the Emperor.
The Imperial Knights were a group organized only for that one purpose.
“Yo Hero, by any chance I was in the Imperial Knights…”
“No, I will keep the title. It seems that His Majesty also wanted to make an ‘exception’ for at least one person. That was a wonder.”
“Oh, I see!”
My words completely removed the worry from Myrun’s face.
“If I could act outside as an imperial knight…That’s what I really want! Thank you, warrior. great favor… …”
“Oh, of course, I didn’t do the respect request for no reason. Of course you want something.”
“If you want…?”
“A rat.”
I got straight to the point.
At my words, Myrun tilted his head for a moment and said.
“Isn’t the rat a person related to the great devil that the hero purified?”
“Yes, that’s right. However, due to the appearance of the Great Devil, I was in a hurry to purify it, so I couldn’t grasp the whole story related to the rat.”
“Ah, you’re asking me to figure out the whole story related to that rat.”
“That’s right.”
In fact, you already know everything.
Even if I don’t know, it’s never difficult for me to check them.
Just let Myrun go to the whole story and confirm the truth.
It is a procedure to do so.
“Yes, I will.”
“And one more.”
I grabbed Myrun, who was about to go outside and said,
“After checking the whole story, do not do anything else and come to me right away.”
“Um, I see.”
Myrun nodded.
“Isn’t that what you mean by reporting to the warrior right away?”
“Yes that’s right.”
Even if the truth you witnessed is endlessly shocking and painful.
In any case, he should know.
“I will.”
Myrun nodded.
I clearly expected what would happen after that, but I didn’t bother to say it.
In any case, in the end, it was a matter that Myrun himself had to see and judge for himself.
just.
‘I only prevent the worst.’
Set asked me while I was walking down the street after leaving the imperial palace.
[Was there something behind that rat? I think there must have been a reason for entrusting the investigation to that article.]
“There was.”
The rat was very greedy.
At the same time, he did not choose any means or methods to fill his stomach.
For that reason, I never hesitated to cross the line.
“It’s good to say that I’ve done all sorts of trashy things, from child trafficking to illegal distribution of slaves to assassination contracts.”
[That’s what I know. You seem to be aiming for something different.]
“Well, that’s right.”
I smiled.
I had something to aim for.
I have no intention of telling you now.
“You will find out soon.”
really soon.

“….”
As soon as I arrived at the temple, what I saw was a very strange scenery.
“What are you doing, father?”
“What kind of bullshit is that after you sent it away, you rotten bastard.”
In front of the father, the Master Assassin and his daughter were sitting on their knees with puzzled expressions.
The expression that my life was wasted.
What the hell happened while I was gone?
“Aren’t you supposed to say something and let it go? You leave me with strange things and you have a long snout.”
“It is because I believe that my father will do well in anything. Firm trust in father… …”
“Agari.”
My father looked at me with a pathetic expression and said,
“At first glance, these guys seem to be entangled in complicated circumstances, but why are these guys… ….”
Heddos flinched and quietly raised his hand.
“…That Master Assassin.”
“Agari.”
“Ah yes.”
My father was a consistent man even to Master Assassin.
8th Circle Great Mage Master of Myeongga.
etc.
Well, no matter how Master Assassin you are, you’re not the kind of person who’s going to fall for anything.
“Thalia of the underworld guild. What name have you heard? They say it’s quite famous as an information guild.”
“Yes, I’m thinking of putting it in a sunny spot in my family’s estate.”
“Isn’t it just a plausible thing to say, and in the end, it’s up to me to leave it up to you? You’re a warrior and you’ll be busy running around all over the place.”
“If I prosper as a hero, it will help the family.”
“What should it be?”
My father looked at the two with complicated eyes with his arms crossed.
“A Dark Elf and an Assassin Master…Hmm, I think I know something… …”
“…!”
For a moment, Mia and Hedos flinched.
My father just stared at the two of them.
“…no matter what Our family is not shallow enough to handle that much.”
My father shrugged and lightly snapped his fingers.
Then, the magic that bound them both was released at once.
“Huh!”
“Ahhh I thought I was going to die!”
Hedos and Mia moved their barely freed bodies.
Dad looked at me and said.
“Talia will be made into an intelligence agency affiliated with our family. At the same time, I lacked information, so it’s not bad if there are talented people.”
“Thank you.”
Hedos bowed his head at his father’s words.
If you have the name ‘Walpurgis’, there is absolutely no need to hide in the dark.
My father nodded slightly at his words and waved his hand.
The two understood the meaning and disappeared on the spot.
“I have a lot to say, but let’s start with the most important thing. How was your audience?”
“I just did.”
I said that and looked at my father.
My father was smiling at me with a strange expression.
‘…That expression already knows everything.’
Even my father knew how mischievous the emperor was.
“I must have suffered. Isn’t His Majesty a difficult person to deal with?”
Father talking to me with a round and round smile.
Just looking at it, it’s an expression that somehow wants me to get into trouble.
“No, the owner of the family…First of all, if I’m rude, it’s guilt-by-association, right?”
“Heh heh, it doesn’t matter. Because I was thinking of selling it on the family register like a knife.”
“You’re really doing too much.”
I grumbled a little.
Well, what should I do with my father’s reaction like this, not just for a day or two?
“No big deal. I did get a few nasty questions, but they were within the expected range. If unexpected… …Saying that
, I took out the brooch I received from the emperor.
“It’s like receiving a surprise gift.”
“her.”
Father looked at the brooch and admired it a little.
“…It’s a symbol. A brooch engraved with the symbol of His Majesty’s authority. As you know, this is not just a simple brooch.”
“I know.”
It seems like the emperor gave it impromptu, but I knew right away.
‘It’s already made with the idea of handing it to me before.’
The brooch was even engraved with a special magic mark so that no one but me could properly use it.
It means something made with the intention to give it to me from the beginning.
When I leave my hand, the imprint is automatically activated, and the signature symbolizing the emperor also disappears.
“It certainly seemed like it would be useful for doing the work of a warrior.”
Certainly, getting the cooperation of the imperial family was a pretty big benefit.
You will be able to avoid troublesome things like this and do complex things quickly.
“Certainly it will. There is no noble in the Empire who has the guts to ignore His Majesty’s wishes.”
“There were a lot of places to go around, but it went well.”
I said that and got up.
My father will take care of Talia anyway.
“Are you leaving right away?”
“I thought so. There are many things to deal with.”
The emperor’s audience is over.
But that didn’t mean that ‘all’ of my capital affairs were over.
“But there is something I need to take care of.”
“…You mean Kelibos.”
“Yes that’s right.”
At my words, my father was silent as if he thought for a moment.
and after a while
“Son, did you know why Kelibos hates our family so much?”
“I know at least that you and your father had a fight over your mother in the past.”
Isn’t that enough?
Father nodded.
“Yeah, you know that. It’s just a trivial story that you don’t need to know more about… …”
“Tell me.”
“Actually, before you were born, even after Cecil and I were married, he didn’t give up and flirted with me.”
“개새끼군요.”
“Yes, it’s a dog.”
Father laughed bitterly.
“Well, there were times when I was quite close with him.”
“It is surprisingly common for relationships to break down over a woman. Besides, it doesn’t really matter if you’re close or not.”
Do you flirt with a woman who is already married?
그냥 아주 개새끼라는 말이다.
Besides, if that person is my mother, it is even more so for me.
“yes. but…In fact, my indecisiveness was also what led to that halfway relationship.”
“….”
“It was similar to Nostra. But if there’s anything different, I guess they thought that they shouldn’t be touched easily because they’re from the same family.”
I must have.
My father was basically a great master mage and a competent family head, but he had one problem.
“How nice it would be if you treat others as resolutely as you do to me.”
“…There is nothing to say about that.”
Father let out a bitter laugh.
“Anyway, I just wanted you to know. Kelibos will reveal this to us until the end, so don’t do it like me.”
“I know.”
I still think so.
At least, I have no intention of putting as finely as the Marquis Kelly Voss, the source of the problem now.
“What I asked for.”
“At first, it was taken care of. I don’t know what to expect from the second son of Mairun the Kelibos.”
“That’s it.”
At my words, my father frowned.
He looked at me with a subtle expression, as if he didn’t know what I was thinking.
“What the hell are you going to do?”
“Anyway, when it comes to the master’s level, it’s not often that you scratch a little outside.”
If it’s something big enough to catch the marquis, there’s only one answer in the end.
“It has to explode from the inside.”
Great mage who transcends by regression
