The emperor sitting on the golden throne nods, "Hmm."

“Jim understands how incredibly loyal the lords have been to rebuild and maintain the Empire. I want to give them a proper title in the name of the Empire, especially since some of them are well-versed. ”

His body movements were natural, like a real human, but his expression was simple enough to make a small change. However, it was easily ignored in accordance with the common sense that an emperor should have a thief on his face.

Poor human being, Rudolf von Habsburg. Alchemists used various reagents on the Emperor's body every day to keep his intestines and flesh from rotting away. I sprinkled a strong perfume in case there was a scent of potions or passages.

People complain that they don't seem to live, but what about Rudolf? If you die, you're not dead. It is much more terrible to be insulted by death than to be insulted by life.

I had to secretly kill my breath and laugh. How tragic. After murdering his relatives and raping him, he wanted to become the emperor so much that he could have hope in some way.

“Barbatos.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

“I give you the crown of Bohemia. ”

Several Demon Kings take a deep breath.

Under the Habsburg empire there were four princes. However, two of them were decorated by the Emperor, and the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Kingdom of Pannonia were the only two. This meant that King Bohemia was the next highest rank in the empire.

Barbato knelt on one knee, and the emperor continued.

“I hereby appoint you Duke of Austerlitz and Permanent Deputy General of the Empire. The king of Bohemia should take care of the empire's government on behalf of Jim, so you are entitled to use the title of Caesar with honor. The people will call you Caesar-Barbatos from now on. ”

“It's barren.”

Barbato replies bluntly. She received a crown and a sword from the Emperor. Standing up, Barbato turns his back and looks back at the palace. A smile almost pulls her mouth shut.

At that moment, even the younger Unsubordinated Demon Kings had no choice but to realize.

Being part of the empire is merely an excuse, and in fact, the subject of their submission is not the puppet emperor - the only girl who has ever ruled as the king and king of the peoples in history.

Barbatos stands beside the Emperor. The emperor summoned his next move.

“Marvas.”

“You summoned me, Your Majesty. ”

Marvas, a rare white mixture of hair, gently bows his waist. I didn't have much respect for my voice, but I could see how elegant I was and how Jaqin Marvas truly obeyed the Emperor.

“I commend you with the crown of Pannonia. ”

“I will do my best not to be ashamed of excessive glory. ”

As another prince descends, the air of the previous day is clearly dispersed. Marvas ducks down, his head dumbfounded, as if separated from the quartile.

“Jim will take the king of Pannonia as his widow anytime, anywhere. Unfortunately, Jim will be called Abu, and publicly, he will be regarded as the adult of the people of the Imperial Court. He is honorably entitled to use the title of Sebasto Krator. ”

If only there was a Demon King who knew his way around here. He'd be thrilled by now.

Barbato gained power by becoming a general of the Emperor, and Marvas received the most prestigious title by being regarded as the Emperor's father. In the order of the empire, Caesar was one step lower than Sebastocrator.

The Pyongyang and the Neutral Tribes shared a good interest.

“The people of the Empire will hail you Sebastocrator-Marbas from now on. ”

“The castle is doomed. ”

Marvas stands up with all his examples. Barbato stands to the right of the Emperor, and Marvas stands to the left of the Emperor.

Everyone here anticipated who would be next.

“Pymon.”

“Lord Pymon, I am summoned. ”

Pymon walks out of the center of yesterday's battle. She raises the corner of her gorgeous red tooth slightly with both hands.

Unlike the two previous Demon Kings, Pymon had no flaws in tone or etiquette. But why does it feel so inviting to the masquerade ball, not called by the emperor?

“I offer you the noble kingdom of Luxembourg, plus the promotion of the kingdom of Luxembourg to the Grand Duke. It also incorporates Pfalz into the Grand Duke of Luxembourg. ”

“Your Highness, I will protect the Empire by helping the Emperor from above and the people below." ”

“Well. I hereby appoint Grand Duke Pymon to administer the Imperial Palace, and you are honorably entitled to use the title of Pro Parakoimenos. ”

The commission was set in turn.

Officials were distributed thoroughly according to the faction's logic, which was immediately apparent when enumerating those with the highest sequence.

King of Bohemia, Deputy General of the Emperor, Barbatos of the Plains.

King of Pannonia, Emperor's wife, Neutral Marvas.

Grand Duke of Luxembourg, Grand Chamberlain of the Empire, Mountain Pymon.

The Duke of Moravia, the Navy Commander of the Empire, and Gamigin the Unaffiliated.

After Sachsen's election, the Pyeongwon Zephar.

After Mainz's preliminary visit, the Mountain Citri.

After Cologne's preliminary election, he was unaffiliated.

Seven in all. As long as the emperor was a puppet, they became able to command the elite empire at will.

The Seven Emperors were even given the right to elect the Emperor. It was a title called Pre-Election. It's up to seven pre-dates who will become the Emperor.

Let's take a look at the faction's plot: 2 Plains, 2 Mountain Factions, 1 Neutral Faction, and 2 Unaffiliated Faction votes. Seems fairly distributed at first… but it's different.

Being an old man who singularly roams around like a lone wolf, the name tag is irrelevant, not representative of any particular group of Demon Kings. Depending on the current, it sticks to one side and to the other.

In other words, the Unsubordinated Demon Monarchs, who currently have very little power, are cheap and unattractive at all. I'd rather be with the Plains or the Neutrals. They are hostile to unsociable Demon Kings.

…… the conclusion is that the Demon Kings in the faction have six votes to one out of seven.

At this point, you won't need to emphasize it again.

Times have changed.

The days of Baal, an unaffiliated Baal, and likewise Agares, when the Demon King's army was overthrown, were ended. The pinnacle of a new era is the heads of factions that lead to Barbatos-Marvas-Pimmon, no matter what.

However, the atmosphere of yesterday was better than I thought.

‘Fair enough,' was the atmosphere of the uninvolved Demon Kings. The Unsubordinated Demon Kings were relieved of their apparent equality. Do you think it's a good thing Gamigine lost one vote? I was foolish... ….

“Seal Haggenti to Baron Knifhausen. ”

“… Thank you. ”

“Seal Aloken to Baron Martinitz. ”

“It's barren.”

One by one, I bowed down before the Emperor.

They know that. In fact, he does not kneel to the emperor, but obeys the three Demon Kings standing on the platform, Barbatos-Marvas-Pimmon. There's something funny about it.

The Demon King of the Plains nods at Barbatos, while the Demon King of the Mountains nods at Slimey Pymon. The Demon King, on the other hand, bows with trembling obeisance.

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

Every time the Demon Kings are summoned in turn, a strange silence bends over the palace. They secretly looked at me with a surprised look. There was a question in my eyes. I casually watched the inauguration, ignoring my gaze.

Yes, my name was not mentioned

As soon as Brother Zephar was appointed as a preliminary candidate, dozens of Demon Kings looked at me in unison. Obviously, Zephyr was Barbato's right hand. However, I, Dantalian, was the one who had done an overwhelming amount of work in the Plains recently…… without any objection.

I was the one who made the nations of the continent diplomatically recognized the empire. There's no one more qualified to go after the preliminaries. However, my name was not mentioned…….

The less the Demon Lords were called, the less the number of Demon Lords that remained, the more eyes focused on me unknowingly. No one can make a sound to point out this strange phenomenon.

Finally.

All the Demon Kings were awarded titles and I was the only one left.

In the middle of the silence, the emperor opens his mouth.

“Not only did one of them defend the Empire, but one of them was a Westerner for the peace of the Horses and Humans. The Guan wanted to give a compliment and a great reward, but he refused the Hansako silver in kind words. …… Dantalian. ”

“Yes.”

I walked out of my waist. I felt my eyes focused on me. There were mixed emotions. Delightful eyes, praiseworthy eyes, doubtful eyes, hateful and jealous eyes. It all wrapped around my body like a cloak.

The day this cloak will be removed will never come again.

“The Guanyin shall remove the Empire's Law. ”

“I will lay down my soul and body for all who live and breathe in the Empire. ”

That was it.

The Demon Kings roared in an overly calm conversation.

I turned my back and slowly looked around the temple. Barbato, Marvas, Pymon, Gamygine, Zephar, Citri, Bazaar. I make eye contact with them once, then look down.

Barbato is my friend. Fifty, by the way. In other words, half of Barbato's votes are mine.

0.5 Tables.

Marvas' affection for me reached almost 50. Besides, we have a political alliance. Half of his votes are also mine.

1 Vote.

Gamigi also has a liking of 50 and is obsessed with me beyond whether it is because of her own desire such as fire. Either way, half of the votes she has are mine.

1.5 votes.

Brother Zephar obeys Barbatos. In fact, I'm a sewer. Like Barbato, half of your rights depend on my doctor.

2 votes.

Citri doesn't even have to mention it.

3 votes.

Pymon has more than 50 likes for me and is forced to exercise her rights as I intend to. It will become more and more so. Therefore, the one vote she has is entirely mine. tied to the rights of her right arm, Citri.

4 votes.

― ― 4 of 7 votes.

More than a majority are precisely out of my hands.

This is the essence that is truly hidden behind today's inauguration ceremony.

A new era is dawning.

It does not only mean an era governed and orchestrated by three Demon Kings and three factions, but it also means an age controlled by one Demon King who had previously stayed in the 71st place.

I'm Dantalian.

I enforce this era, not anyone else.

The empire will maintain its manifestation of a union between the Horses and Humans, indicating that the empire can intervene at any time in the name of the Horses or on the continent in the name of the Humans. The Habsburg Empire must dominate the history of the continent in the future.

I am the one who rules that empire.

But not from the front, but from the back. It moves in pitch, not in sunshine.

Thus, the Duke of Curtos and the palace of the Empire, the turn that once suited the person who once ranked 71st, must be the first, not the middle, but only the last. I have always been the last and will always be the last.

You bow your head politely towards the Demon Kings.

I heard a clap. Maybe Barbato clapped his hands. Afterwards, most of the Demon King began to send his snatches. I smiled as I listened to the pouring of the clap.

I am the empire.

It took me longer than usual to refer to the duties and titles of Byzantine-Roman and to reference the lands of the Holy Roman Empire. In the case of Byzantine-Roman duties, it is a mixture of Latin and Greek, sometimes in writing, sometimes in Latin. This is also due to poor investigation, I'm sorry. (Especially when I had to treat it as a female noun, because I was completely ignorant of Latin, some remained male.)

We'll revise the names later.
