After parting with Crown Prince Chartrand.
After leaving the garden, Demuel felt that the back of his head was itching for some reason..
It feels like someone is watching you. So, just as I was about to look back reflexively, someone's warning rang in my mind..
【walk without looking back.】
【There are guys following you.】
Those of Lacus.
At the warnings of his followers, who had an incredibly wide field of vision and excellent surveillance abilities, Demuel couldn't hide his embarrassment for a moment..
I deserved it.
This is the imperial castle. It was also close to the residence of the next emperor, Chartrand..
‘however…….’
Who the hell would follow him in a place like this? However, there was no reason for the family to lie..
That's why Demuel pretended to be calm and only looked forward and moved on. Then the whispers I heard again knocked on my brain..
【about a dozen people.】
【All are expert knights.】
【You're wearing the same outfit as the guys who guarded the garden when you had tea with the prince..】
Knights of the Expert.
Furthermore, there is only one candidate for those who guarded the gardens of Chartrand..
‘……royal guard!’
Knights who have been in charge of escorting the imperial family for generations, and are currently a special order of knights under the command of Jul Orden of Saxony, a knight of Chartrand..
‘that is…….’
It is said that the reason why the Royal Guard followed him was the order of Saxony..
If it had been Chartrand's instructions, Saxony would have followed directly, not the Royal Guard..
And through this, Demuel roughly grasped why Saxony gave such an order..
‘Are you limiting me?’
Of course, unless you're an idiot..
Since the appearance of Demuel, Chartrand has often changed in many ways..
So, not only Saxony, but also other masters, such as Lord Gorfant and Lord Lapidis, used to look at Demuel with suspicion..
‘After all, I'm not a master for nothing.’
Everyone feels good.
However, there is no accurate physical evidence, so rather than touch it rashly, it is likely that they are trying to secure some plausible clues by stepping on their backs..
‘But now it's okay.’
Chartrand makes a wish to Lacus, and the moment the wish finally comes true, Chartrand will become Lacus' second apostle..
When I thought that, I felt at ease..
So, forgetting that he was being pursued by the Royal Guard, he walked normally..
how long has it been like that?
Finally, when I was completely out of the castle, I heard the whispers of my family once again..
【Traces of the pursuers are gone.】
【You can rest easy now.】
At the end of the low whisper, the words of the family could not be heard anymore. That meant the threat was gone, so Demuel sighed..
It was a sigh of relief.
As he left the imperial castle and entered the alleys of the southern district, a doll made of clay suddenly rose from Demuel's shoulder..
“You suffered, my apostle.”
Lord of the Abyss, Lacus.
Lacus, who whispered through the mouth of a clay doll, soon looked in the direction where the emperor was and smiled with satisfaction..
“Thanks to your hard work, a second apostle will soon be born. and when that happens…….”
“The empire will be yours.”
All apostles cannot disobey the ruler's orders. In other words, when Chartrand becomes an apostle, Lacus reigns over the emperor..
“But there are things that are hard to understand.”
“hmm? what do you mean?”
“The prince's desire.”
By cooperating with Lacus' plan, Demuel learned more about Chartrand's desires..
The man who will become the next emperor of the empire.
Chartrand's wish is neither to conquer the pagans in the south nor to conquer the continent. Just trying to get one woman right.
‘Pertisia Ib al Ruben.’
The princess, whose existence the imperial family had been hiding all along.
Recalling her, Demuel immediately showed an expression of displeasure..
“No matter how half blood is mixed, they are still blood and blood, so how can you see such an existence as reason??”
To be honest, it was disgusting.
Especially because he is a father with a daughter..
On the other hand, when Demuel made an expression of disgust, Lacus burst into laughter..
“Whoops, that's wrong.”
“yes? what does that mean…….”
“The seventh star, half-human, half-spirit, does not contain royal blood. 'Cause it's just a product of chance.”
A test subject made according to the emperor's desire while in a hospital bed. An existence that was born when a newborn spirit accidentally mixed in there..
This was the identity of Perticia.
“So, to be precise, it means that she was destined to become the wife of the current emperor, not the crown prince..”
“Well, that's right. then you understand.”
If your blood wasn't mixed, you'd be no different from anyone else no matter how much you were raised as a princess..
Demuel nodded..
At the end of the conversation, Lacus brought up a new topic this time..
“By the way, Demuel.”
“yes sir.”
“I heard from my friends that the tail attached to Arsene Academy was stepped on. Can you explain what happened??”
“of course.”
Come to think of it, I hadn't explained it to Lacus yet. Recalling this, Demuel immediately spoke the story he had heard from Estelle..
In the process of delivering Droga's leaves, the Abyssal Worshiper who served as the tail was discovered, and even the move of the Imperial Intelligence Agency..
“what? The intelligence agency moved?”
“That's right. Droga's leaf is a super-dangerous drug designated by the Empire, and it is also the culprit behind the War of the West in the past..”
Demuel added a further explanation..
On the other hand, when the story was over, Lacus crumpled his face. As if you don't like the current situation.
“Then it will be hard to move for a while.”
“I think so too.”
“shit, i can't help it I have no choice but to wait beneath the surface for a while until their interest cools off..”
Lacus clicked his tongue low..
To this Demuel asked curiously..
“Are you not withdrawing at all??”
Since the Imperial Intelligence Agency has started investigating, it will be difficult to circulate Droga leaves from now on..
So I thought I would give up completely, but it seems not to be the case. Because Lacus gave an answer as if he had no intention of doing so.
“Yes. It won't be right away, but if you take control of the student council, you'll have something to write about at the right moment..”
“If you say it's something to write……?”
“For example, it could be limbs instead of Jim's family, or it could bring the star warriors in Arsene together..”
It was just a simple example, but that alone made Demuel understand why Lacus was trying to take over the student council..
“okay. now i understand.”
After silently nodding my head.
Demuel's brown eyes shone brightly..
“Master, after becoming a true abyss, you want to strike down the warriors..”
“is the correct answer.”
The corner of Lacus's mouth was torn..
As satisfied with Demuel's analysis. Later, Lacus added an idea he had come up with..
“Of course, the best thing to do is to defeat them individually, but if that's the case, it'll be difficult if something unexpected happens like this time..”
An extraordinary piece that did not exist before.
Red Eyed Barbarian Warrior.
Recalling the hero who had defeated as many as four lords so far, Lacus' eyes flashed..
“So, according to ■■'s choice, when I become a true abyss, I plan to gather all the seven heroes and strangers together and deal with it..”
Truly a blow.
What Demuel said fits perfectly..
After answering, Lacus looked at the southern sky. The direction where Arsene Academy is located. Soon after, Lacus' low voice followed..
“Then the protection of the stars will disappear, and the starlight to fight against me will also disappear. Then, for the first time, this world will completely belong to me..”
The true purpose of Lacus.
Dreaming of becoming the only abyss, Lacus let out a sinister laugh. This continued until De Muel arrived at her mansion..

way back to the academy.
Noah climbed into the carriage and briefly explained the current situation in Perticia to the party..
some time after that.
When the story was over, Dillia and Ibella muttered with puzzled faces..
“therefore…….”
“I have to go back to my family?”
Currently, only Ulan and Noah know Perticia's true identity. To the rest of her party, Per Tisha was Tisha Lapidis..
So Noah pretended that Perticia would return to the Lapidis family, not the imperial castle, and Perticia also replied with a gloomy face..
“Yes, and if I go back this time, there's a good chance I won't be able to return to the academy..”
“what? why?”
“My uncle is overprotective of me..”
No matter how overprotective they are, they usually don't go that far, don't they? Ibela looked at Perticia with an expression of incomprehension..
On the other hand, Dillia's reaction was different..
“That's, for sure, a serious, problem.”
Dillia gave a serious nod..
As if understanding Perticia's situation.
It was natural. Dillia, too, was caught by her father during her summer vacation, and she almost never returned to her academy..
“Also, it is difficult.”
“huh? Trouble?
“right? Now, soon, going to the desert, power, one, falling, counts.”
If Perticia doesn't return to the academy, Ulan and the others must leave her behind and leave for the desert..
He had to go through the eighth warrior's trial given to Noah, and above all, it was because that was the only chance he had to go to the desert..
“that's right. No trouble like this.”
Noah also put on a serious expression..
Soon after, she looked back at Ulan, Evela, and Dillia and bowed her head as if asking for help..
“I have to find a way somehow So I'd like to lend everyone's wisdom.”
“Well, even if you lend me your wisdom…….”
I couldn't come up with a good way.
Is that why? Ibella, scratching her cheeks, offered the simplest solution..
“You can't just ignore it and go to the desert.?”
Right after the somewhat irresponsible remarks.
Perticia's complexion turned pale..
“uh, that can't be! If you do, you won't be able to come out of the world until you die.!”
“ah, please I won't go that far.”
Ibella burst out laughing..
He thought Perticia's words were exaggerated. Noah, on the other hand, muttered with a serious expression, without a smile..
“no, it's possible.”
“what? really?”
Noah nodded his head in silence to Ibela, who was taken aback. If it's the Chartrang of her original that she knows, she'll be enough..
So, if you ignore Chartrand's words and head to the desert, the aftermath will be enormous. Therefore, Ibela's opinion was dismissed..
“The situation, well, explains, seeing?”
This time, Dillia gave her opinion..
Even if I had to return to my family, I decided that I could rationally explain why I had to return to the academy..
However, this was also a complacent answer that could be given because I did not know Chartrand..
“……If it was something that could be solved so easily, I wouldn't have sought wisdom in the first place..”
Perticia shook her head with a dark expression. When everyone's opinions were dismissed, Ybela suddenly turned to Ulan..
“Ulan is not a good idea?”
Actually I didn't expect much.
It's just that I've been keeping my mouth shut so far, so I only tried to say it once. But at that moment, an unexpected answer came back..
“there is.”
“huh? this, there is?”
“okay.”
“Really? what is it?”
Noah with sparkling curious eyes.
Anticipation formed not only in her, but also in the eyes of Dillia and Perticia. In response, Ulan did not hesitate and spoke confidently..
“Kidnapping will fix it.”
“……yes?”
In an instant, silence lingered.
Soon after, Noah asked blankly, and Ulan answered by patting Perticia on the shoulder..
“If we kidnap Tisha by faking it to be done by a third party, not us, we won't have to worry about the aftermath..”
“No, anyway, that's a bit…….”
Ibella, who showed disapproval, turned to the other party. As if looking for someone who would agree with her opinion.
However, an unexpected scenery unfolded..
“Um, it's surprisingly good?”
“That's right. not bad.”
“……what?”
It was because Noah and Dillia nodded as if they agreed with Ulan's words. At this sight, this Bella exclaimed questioningly with her bewildered face..
“Gee, that's what I mean.?!”
“okay. Roughly, abyss, like a worshiper, scheming, Tisha, kidnapping, it seems, it will work?”
“that's right. Ulan is also quite good. I never thought I would come up with such a good idea.”
“Well, it's because I went to the academy..”
Ulan smiled triumphantly..
The academy had nothing to do with kidnapping Perticia, but no one bothered to point this out..
“Gee, I really like this method?”
“I can't think of a better way at this point. so that's a good way.”
“I'm in favor! I think it will be fun!”
As long as Perticia, the party involved, agreed, there was nothing that could undo the decision..
Leaving the bewildered Ibella behind.
The carriage carrying the party arrived at Arsene Academy in no time. Afterwards, the party who got off the carriage stretched with frowning faces..
“It came just right on the edge.”
“Yeah, I have to go to class now.”
Everyone has classes in the afternoon..
Moreover, with the final exams just around the corner, Ulan and his party each talked to each other and tried to head to the Lion's Hall, where the lecture room was located..
But at that moment.
Suddenly I heard a familiar voice.
“Are you on your way back from going out??”
“……uh?”
Ibella's eyes widened slightly..
It's because it was the voice I remembered..
However, the voice couldn't have been here, so Ibella was taken aback for a moment. Then she turned her head, and then she opened her eyes wide..
“everything, why are you here……?”
Ibella's gaze was directed towards a middle-aged man in a black coat. Sweeping his blonde hair, he said with a warm smile.
“Long time no see, Isabella..”
A master of the Ruben Empire and a knight who has guarded the southern front for the past ten years. And the man who is the real father of Ybela Elead..
It was Istan El Deorg..
