ALL NOVEL chapter 56
56. Succession (1)
Agares, the emperor who created a very calm typhoon by announcing the succession to the throne, continued his next words.
I had to bring up a topic that gave me a headache just thinking about it.
“…So, the Demon Army is attacking?”
Marquis Kairos said everything, including everything that the new Incrinyu had said.
Brigitte nodded slowly.
“Yes, Increnu said that when referring to the ‘Book of Revelation’.”
A place to see the future.
If we were to make an analogy from what Incrinyu said, ＜Revelation＞ is like a book of prophecy.
“Are you sure that ＜Blue-Haired Sword Saint＞, who was actually an oracle, and ＜Daughter of the Witch Who Fell into the Hell of Black Flame＞ have the talent to change the direction of this empire?”
The reason the two got together was as a result of the entertainment district of Increnu.
Although it was because of entertainment, it was clear that the talent of the two was outstanding at an all-time level.
So much so that it is presented separately in the Book of Revelation.
“I can assure you of that.”
Yuma said, looking straight into Agares’ eyes.
“The talent of those two is truly a gift from heaven. The Blue Sword Saint has already reached the level of a sword master at the age of 20. The wizard side is also growing rapidly.”
Agares decided to believe Yuma’s words.
Because he was the one who saved the empire from danger several times in just two months.
“Let’s believe in the eyes of the God of War. Yes, then. Likewise, it means that there is a good chance that the invasion of the Continent by the Demon Army that was written in the Book of Revelation is true….”
As Agares said that, her eyes slowly closed.
Marquis Kairos, Schwerce, and Brigitte all rushed at Agares at the same time.
“Are you okay? Your Majesty!”
Kairos touched both of the emperor’s shoulders, waving his brown hair mixed with white hair.
“Let go…I think it would be easier to close my eyes again.”
The emperor, who opened his eyes for the first time in eight months, came to the conclusion that it would be better to close them again… !
Whoa.
The emperor let out a sigh so deep that the world disappeared and opened his eyes again.
“Demon Army.”
At the end of the field of vision was 1st Princess Brigitte, who had been determined to be the next emperor.
“Can you stop it?”
Brigitte held her aging father’s trembling hand tightly.
“I will stop it. One way or another, it is up to me.”
I’m glad you didn’t sound weak.
Yuma thought that and stood up. There must be a story that will end even between her blood relatives.
Yuma opened the door and came outside.
‘I should have come to check on Emperor Agares in person.’
＜Exploration plan＞.
If you had seen Emperor Agares through your search eyes, you might have noticed the existence of the ‘New Increnu’ in advance.
However, he soon shook his head.
‘It’s a meaningless assumption.’
When I first met Brigitte, I didn’t really know what I could see with the navigation eye.
And Brigitte also said something.
When the emperor lost consciousness.
The only people who can protect their place are those who have taken the ＜Blood Oath＞. People who made an oath that if the emperor was killed, they would die too.
For the rest, it was impossible to enter or leave the place.
That means that even after knowing clearly what the ＜Exploration Eye＞ could see, it was impossible to face the emperor.
Grumble-
After waiting for about 30 minutes, the door opened.
Tuk─
“female.”
Yuma looked at the person who lightly tapped his shoulder.
Brigitte looked intently at Yuma’s face.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I think I convinced my father quite easily.”
“Then is the coronation ceremony as planned?”
“Yes, in 20 days. My father also approved.”
Night began to fall.
I could see the sunset beyond.
Yuma and Brigitte came down from the Emperor’s Palace. Brigitte’s direct escort, Michael, who was waiting for the two below, moved his body with restraint.
There are many nobles in the emperor’s land. And the subjects sent by high-ranking nobles were gathered there.
Most of the high-ranking nobles now knew that the emperor had awakened.
However, the number of nobles who could have an audience with the emperor was still limited, so everyone was just stomping their feet below.
one week.
Only after about a week would the nobles be able to see the emperor’s face.
When you come down from the Emperor’s Palace and reach a deserted area.
“Cough!”
Yuma could not hold back the boiling blood.
Red blood flowed out.
Brigitte’s steps suddenly stopped.
“Yu…ma?”
Two blue eyes widened.
The face turned pale in an instant.
My heart was beating loudly. Just as much as when he heard that his father had regained consciousness.
Michael knew very well what action he should take.
The red cloak worn over the epaulettes was spread wide, covering Yuma’s front, sides, and three sides.
“Get yourself together.”
Michael’s words were polite.
I had no choice but to treat Yuma differently than right after Yuma defeated the 7th of the Ten Pillars, the enemy Kanegal.
He was the commander-in-chief who led the war against the barbarian nation of Paineton to victory.
This is because Yuma was confirmed to be the archduke when Brigitte was designated as the heir to the throne.
Sigh…
Yuma wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief. And Brigitte’s face looks like she’s about to cry. She stroked the cheek with her right hand.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a temporary reaction to what happened before. It’ll be fine in a month.”
That thing from before.
Brigitte immediately realized what Yuma was talking about.
It probably means dealing with the new Increnu.
The corners of Brigitte’s lips were trembling. It was a reaction born of fear.
Fear of losing something precious.
“…one month?”
“okay.”
Brigitte’s voice continued to tremble.
Yuma.
The man who became his sword. And the man who trusted and followed me until now.
A being that cannot be kept as a subordinate.
So, I started to treat him as a friend. Brigitte always had a bit of anxiety.
A person named Yuma is like this blessing. Won’t it disappear like a ghost one day?
Wouldn’t they disappear, saying that I had some kind of delusion or that I had some vain hope?
And that worry disappeared after the conversation I had with him in front of the oracle.
-Ask a question, Brigitte. what do you want to do
Yuma asked that.
-Two. I don’t want the two people who came for me to die. I don’t know if I die alone.
He answered like this:
The look in Yuma’s eyes after that question and answer was infinitely warm.
Even in the cool ultramarine blue eyes, the warmth is visible.
Brigitte felt reassured by those eyes.
Finally, I received Yuma’s approval.
Because I was so sure.
A low voice reached Brigitte’s ears.
“Trust me, I would never lie to you.”
Brigitte barely nodded, not easily bowing her head.
“That’s right, you never lied…Yuma.”
I couldn’t completely erase my anxiety.
The amount of blood shed was not enough to erase the anxiety with just Yuma’s words. Because the color was dull.
Could it be that Yuma is trying to reassure himself?
In that split second, I doubted myself dozens of times.
However, Brigitte nevertheless decided to believe Yuma’s words as much as possible.
Because I didn’t want to embarrass Yuma.
“I will believe that, Yuma.”
Yuma stroked Brigitte’s right cheek once more.
Brigitte’s trembling shoulders slowly stopped. Yuma confirmed the changes in Brigitte’s body that she was not even aware of.
Yuma nodded slowly.
“…Yes, trust me. I don’t mind starting again, Michael.”
“I understand. Yuma.”
Slurp… .
I put the cloak that Michael had spread out again.
Jump and jump
The group started walking again.
***
“Huh!”
1A wide open space behind the princess’s palace.
The Miao swordsman perked up his scarlet ears and sharpened his senses.
This is because Clone’s magic was flying towards him.
It was an ice arrow made of high-density ice.
When Hestia let out a scream that took her breath away, Clone burst into laughter.
“I’m very good at avoiding it, but I’m under a lot of pressure, sister.”
Hestia puffed out her cheeks and twitched her lips.
“Hey, it’s scary! How fast your magic is.”
Clone thought that was very cute.
Hestia placed her right foot firmly on the ground and slowly moved her leg around her knee to the right.
It was a process of loosening the legs.
‘… Belle would have avoided it more easily.’
Talent.
Somehow, I figured out how to use my body more efficiently than I did as a Miao.
No, beyond efficiency. More than that.
Since I was born, I have never once been dissatisfied with my movements.
When considering only physical conditions, his body as a Miao was far superior. flexibility. Resilience.
However, Bell’s talent is not limited to physical ability.
Extreme efficiency.
Belle moves much less than he does. She got away with a lot more.
Hestia knew her own vessel.
‘You can never win with a sword.’
You can’t beat Bell with swordsmanship.
So, we have to prove our usefulness to Yuma in other ways.
Just like they did in the last battle against Pineton, they will have to play the role of a scouting party that infiltrates the enemy’s camp in advance.
‘I have to do whatever I have to do.’
I didn’t want to give up on standing next to Yuma just yet.
Hestia said, placing her hands on both waists.
With a confident stance.
“Let’s do it one more time, this time a little faster!!”
“Yes, sister.”
Clone laughed bitterly.
Their training continued until nightfall.
