Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 483

[483[Tuesday] God knows

The Eshnua Empire has served Ete of Light for centuries and supported many warriors..

Putting aside the fact that scholars still debate whether the empire served Ete first or the warrior was summoned to the empire first, thanks to the support of the empire, the warrior was able to defeat the demon king based on stable learning. It is an undeniable historical fact that.

Before the emergence of the empire, warriors often ended their records with miserable failures..

Of course, the empire did not just give like a generous tree. Not only could they monopolize the military power of the warriors, but they could also monopolize the knowledge they possessed. In fact, there were some who lived lives far from politics, but there were many more who lived their lives as warriors and fulfilled their responsibilities until the day they died..

Because they were with most of the warriors, it could be said that the empire was actually the group on the continent that had the most information and samples of warriors..

"What kind of nonsense is this??"

Despite that, there was someone who treated the report from the front line of the Kingdom of Itisel that there were two heroes as a bad joke. Margrave Hillbruden devoted his life to being a pillar in charge of the western border of the empire..

Even though he was over 70 years old, he was the real power in charge of the western border of the empire. It was a comment he made inadvertently as soon as he heard the story, but it was by no means a good choice due to various complex factors..

The first reason was that the report was a warm item delivered by express under the name of the royal family..

"What an interesting statement.."

The second reason is that this event was successful because a specific person who had already read the report personally gave the order to convene..

"To think that the pillars of the empire were gathered up and placed in this position by the Emperor's name just because of nonsense.."

The third reason was that there was no possibility that the person who issued the summons would act rashly on nonsense and move people around in vain..

"Well, maybe her personal feelings came into play when looking at the report. It was a report written by none other than the woman's younger brother in his own handwriting from the front line.."

Because it was the Iron Blood Princess who ordered the convocation..

"What do you guys think??"

A particularly young and delicate voice rang out in a room full of solemn elderly and middle-aged people, but no one thought this situation was as funny as the owner of the voice said..

It's not that it's not fun because they're busy telling a story that doesn't make any sense, but it's because of the mindless nonsense of the person in power who seems to have lost his brain just watching the western kingdoms fight and fight every day..

Of course, they truly deserved to be called the pillars of the empire..

These people had such great responsibility and status that even if just one person went out of the castle, a unit had to be moved to protect him. In fact, they were people with such ability and discretion..

However, at the same time, he was just a nobleman who 'only survived' the Iron Blood Princess' large-scale purge..

"Tell me. Then I really want to hear how the empire can respond to that nonsense.."

Because of her relatively small body, the chair she was sitting on felt very large, but no one could laugh at her crossing her legs and resting her chin on it. In response to her actions, the complexion of the old man who had put her words into her mouth began to turn pale..

"poetry, nonsense..."

"Of course it's a mistake."

He's not stupid. It would be more correct to say that he was more complacent than that. The incident that led to the iron blood princess being called 'iron blood' was shocking but brief, and in fact Hilbruden, who had always been loyal to the imperial family, was in a state of lack of sense of crisis because he had never personally faced her hostility..

However, as soon as he met the indifferent gaze of the princess, who did not show any sign of criticism or anger, the Margrave of Hilbruden understood the situation as his heart sank. At the same time, he remembered how he had lived like a king in the name of managing the western frontier and had forgotten this chilling sensation..

The sense that there is someone above your head who has the opportunity, the right, and the power to strike your own head..

"Leisure, no one else, called you."

Personal feelings do not enter into the Iron Blood Princess's judgment. That's why I'm more afraid.

She judges value with an eye that ordinary people cannot match, and understands a person's limitations more accurately than the person himself. Still, the years she spent as a person in power were not wasted, so the old man was able to clearly guess how the Iron-Blooded Princess judged him at this moment..

A person who is complacent and intoxicated with power and lacks or shows signs of lacking the ability to cope with sudden changes in circumstances.

A person unsuited to the position of having to manage the borders of the empire..

"In order not to waste the time of those who are the pillars of the empire, we gathered here after preparing in advance, even taking our precious time. This is the ‘major premise’. Where is the room for ‘bullshit’??"

Even after coming to that conclusion, the old man was unable to say anything, like a death row inmate waiting to be notified of his death. Rather, he just lowered his gaze because he felt like a bigger punishment would await him if he said something wrong here..

The sight of a young girl barely in her twenties unilaterally criticizing an old man who has lived four times as long as she did, roaming the battlefield, making achievements, and winning political battles... in an ordinary kingdom, it would have been enough to provoke a backlash from the nobles. It was natural because it was an empire..

"Margrave Hilbruden."

"Yes, yes. majesty."

"Considering the uniqueness of the situation, I will leave it as is for now.."

The Margrave of Hilbruden jumped up from his chair without realizing it and almost hit his head. However, Es Muët must have already anticipated his actions, raised his hand to stop his movements, and continued speaking..

"However, since two heroes have appeared, no one knows what changes are taking place in the situation on the continent. This time, I happened to hear it first, but there may come a day when you receive such a report first. When that day comes, you will remember this day and never take it lightly.."

Everyone gathered here noticed. The Margrave of Hilbruden only opened the water, and in the end, this is what he is saying to everyone present. The Margrave of Hilbruden also noticed this, so he stood up and politely bowed in response..

"I will keep this in mind, Your Majesty.."

"good night. Now let's start the meeting."

Perhaps because the tension was raised to the highest level all at once, a quite heated discussion ensued afterwards. Thanks to the kind of performance they just showed, they understood exactly what the princess wanted and came up with opinions on the most ideal form to reorganize and reexamine the nationwide patrol route, including the empire's proud intelligence network..

What followed next was the empire's course of action regarding the second hero. Originally, when dealing with a person in a position beyond the influence of the empire, opinions were bound to arise based on checks, but this time it was different..

Among those gathered here, there was no one who did not know the name Eldmia Egar..

Putting aside all other incidents, he was already an unrivaled hero of the Empire simply by saving the Iron Blood Princess during the Academy Gate attack, which was a disgrace to the Empire..

"I think it is right to treat him the same way as the hero Siegfried and provide active support.."

Despite the rough start, Margrave Hilbruden confidently stated his argument. He said he would attach it without notice, so he was able to do it because he knew very well that looking into it too late would have the opposite effect..

In fact, Esmué accepted his claim without any prejudice, proving that the old nobleman's judgment was correct..

"On the front lines, it is assumed that he is a warrior of the Demon God Cult, and in fact, a lot of evidence has been collected to support that claim.?"

"There is also evidence that he destroyed the devil's army's plots and helped the human race several times.."

If you look at the incidents that have been heavily involved in ETSL right now, there are more than just a few. There was no one who did not nod their heads at Margrave Hillbruden's argument, as all the relevant information was written in the report given to each person..

"Considering the case where a great general from an enemy country ends up on our side, we should be aware of the anxiety and dissatisfaction of the people, but thanks to the achievements he has accumulated so far, even such worries are meaningless. Even if only a little direction is given, the people will not have any mistrust towards the demonic religion's human warriors. I think people will come to realize that race is not important in punishing the Demon Lord's army, which has gone down a completely wrong path.."

"...So, even if the imperial family supports it, there is little chance of criticism.?"

In response to Esmuye's question while gently stroking her cheek, another person slowly raised his hand this time..

The man, who was called more by the title of Phantom Duke than by his own name, wore a deep robe and did not even show his face, but since he had already received permission from the imperial family, no one said anything. He spoke only after carefully seeking the consent of the Margrave of Hilbruden and Esmueh..

"It's not just a small amount, it's almost non-existent. The steps taken by Lord Egar during his visit to the Empire are still talked about among the people and academy cadets. Along with his achievements in the West. People who were not even interested in Itisel until now are curious about his achievements and are now interested in the story of the kingdom.."

The people of the empire have already made all preparations to be friendly to him. As he, who was here representing numerous imperial wizards, finished speaking, Esmuet, who seemed to be thinking for a while in the quiet conference room for a moment, asked a question as if he were indifferent..

"As mentioned in the previous agenda, even if he receives our favor, it is extremely unlikely that he will actively step forward for the empire or become a naturalized person. Wouldn't there be a backlash to treating such a person as well as Siegfried??"

They are from a completely different country, but they are so friendly..

If he were simply a wandering adventurer, he would be remembered for his tales of beauty and heroism, but since he is a person with nationality from another country, it is a nuanced statement that there might be a bit of a problem..

"I don't think that's anything to worry about either. As with his heroic deeds, he has done many things within Ethisel that are comparable to eccentricities, so even if a few such stories become known, the people will not care.."

"Just taking the time to do a little trick is sure to put you in a positive mood.."

Of course, Esmuet, who was already full of plans to see her grandchildren, did not really say such a thing, but the nobles, who were not aware of that fact, actively refuted her concerns..

Esmuye covered her mouth with her small hands, pretended to be worried, and smiled in satisfaction..
