Running Away From The Hero!

The meeting was over.

It was an awkward start to the meeting because of Astor's remarks, but it was able to proceed very neatly after the astonishment was pulled out.

Everyone seemed surprised by the astonishment, but quickly came to their senses and gave me their opinions.

“The future of the Empire isn't so bad, is it, Leah? ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

They were the kind of people who felt free to speak up.

Those who generously advise me as a royal soldier.

Many of these were also evidence that the future of the Empire was bright.

“If it wasn't for this one.... ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. I think I should get my resignation letter soon. ”

Leah and I looked down at the floor at the same time.

Town! Town! ”

There was a perfectly sealed asthma.

“Normal people will find out why this happened……. ”

“Lord Ast seems to take this for granted. Am I strange, Your Grace? ”

“I don't think so. Because I think it's natural for Ast to be treated this way." ”

“I see.”

“Just like that. ”

Leah and I nod at the same time and look down at Ast.

“Should I let him go? ”

“I have to come back first……. ”

“But if you let me go, I'll be in trouble...?" ”

“That's true. ”

As soon as I opened my mouth, I saw him struggling, "Peace be with you! Let's love peace! ’

“Who tied this? ”

“The guards and imperial deacons who were waiting around the meeting room are tied up. ”

“Why?”

“I told her to speak freely, and she said peace, and she seemed unhappy about being taken. ”

“So you got caught running around in a frenzy? ”

“That's right.”

“Is there a conscience? ”

I can't believe you're complaining about making that speech in the conference room.

“I don't think so. ”

“Isn't that right? ”

Indeed, Ast's conscience seemed to exist in the world, but not in life.

Leah told me all about it.

“But you have to let him go, right? ”

“That's right.”

I wanted to take it with me, but this was the Imperial Court.

It must be bad behavior to show people carrying a load in the Imperial Court.

“I'm afraid I have to let you go. ”

“I understand.”

Remove the restraining rope from the ankle.

Of course, the mouth was the last.

And the reason is, of course,

“Puha...! You're too much, Your Majesty! If you want me to say something, I told you the truth! ”

It was obvious that shit would come out.

“You know what you're talking about, right? ”

“Yes, I'm aware. That's the sound of a man who loves freedom and peace struggling without succumbing to his powerful power! ”

“Leah, what are you talking about? ”

“That's bullshit, Your Majesty. ”

The word "bullshit" came from Leah's mouth.

Thanks to Ast, Leah has progressed a lot. In a very bad way.

“You're too kind, Lord Leah. Bullshit!”

“I'm sorry, Ser Ast. I didn't even know it. ”

“That hurts even more? ”

Ast seems to have suffered a slight blow to the sincere apology.

“The meeting is over. Let's go back. ”

“The meeting is over! You haven't heard my opinion, Your Majesty! ”

“You heard it at the beginning. All of it.”

“There was something more important after that. Delivering that to everyone is the basis of today's meeting! ”

I hosted a meeting that I didn't know existed.

“What?”

I know it's bullshit, but I'll listen to it. It is because sometimes the words of Astor are useful.

Well, most of the time, of course.

“12 ways to stay out of the war! With this, we may not be able to join the war! ”

which is a huge disadvantage.

“Yes. Rejected. ”

“Why!”

Ast is frustrated with the expression that he doesn't know why.

You don't know what's going on here.

I thought that acting was so perfect that I couldn't tell if it was true, if it was smoke or not.

“Who knows the situation of the continent better than anyone? This is all a story you came up with, right? ”

In a previous report to Leah, there was a report that a small war that began with the assassination of the prince of the kingdom of Madesen and the princess of the kingdom of Helkas could spread to a great war that swept the entire continent.

He told me it was Astra who taught Leah.

Thanks to you, the Ares family even wrote an engagement letter to Ast, so I'll never forget it.

“Because I know. This is a war. It will be a war where and when new enemies will emerge. Yesterday's allies can become tomorrow's enemies, and tomorrow's enemies can become today's allies. ”

“So even more so, we have to get involved. ”

Though it was an act full of individual compassion, it was right to think nationally, and the troops underneath it were moving.

“I'm sure you'd know better if you were quick. The troops given to me are too powerful. ”

Even aristocrats are allowed to have more than a few troops to defend themselves.

In the case of the change bags guarding the border, there were many places where the Imperial Court could hardly touch the military, so it is not strange to have one or two knights around the Imperial Court.

“I know that. The troops given to Her Majesty were pure soldiers, not forces. ”

The difference between forces and soldiers is very large.

“Yes. They don't follow me because they support me. ”

Although often mistaken, there was only one official Emperor who had military power among the Imperial people.

The rest cannot have a medical history unless they have a special position.

All the troops given to the Emperor are sent by the Emperor to protect the Emperor.

Everything else is the troops dispatched from the outside and the military forces that they attract.

But what I was given was one army, per se.

Even a royal was too powerful to be given an escort.

“Your Majesty seems to love you very much. ”

“I'm on that side. But isn't there a reason why you're being treated so dramatically? ”

You took the reason.

I didn't take it out of my mouth.

I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but I can't just hand that information over to someone like Ast.

“I don't know.”

“Yes. Sometimes what you don't know is medicine. ”

“I don't know why you're being treated so harshly by the Emperor, so I don't know about the army or the war. So let's not go to war! ”

I almost nodded naturally.

Leah already nodded, "Yes. I could say."

“Leah, wake up. Think about what Ast just said. ”

“I don't know, so... Hot!”

“Tsk!”

Leah's unconscious nod stops, and Ast stares at her with a short tongue.

“What a piece of shit. ”

“Thank you."

“It's not a compliment.... ”

Seeing the astonishing display of excessive courtesy and gratitude, I felt my head tingle.

“I need to get a headache medication from a fisherman on the way. ”

“Oh, my God! I can't believe your fragile Majesty has a headache! This is not the time! Rest for about 3 years...! ”

An asthmatic who was making a heavy casualty out of a headache.

Of course, the point is to put me to bed and not join the war.

“Ast, haven't you heard the conclusion of the meeting? ”

“I tried to speak of justice, but I couldn't hear it because I was miserably imprisoned here. ”

I was full of useless words, but soon I endured it again, thinking of the face Ast would build.

“We leave in a month. ”

“Yes?”

“I'm going to war next month. ”

It was already a detailed plan.

Starting with how many troops to deploy, which regions to deploy, which strategies and tactics to use, who will lead, who will lead as a whole, and who will be the next commander when the commander dies.

“The Imperial officials will take care of the rest. ”

The people handling the most important supplies are set aside.

It's been in history many times.

“Ast, all you have to do is follow your body. ”

“Ah……. Peace loving me is a battlefield! ”

Looking down at the desperate astronaut, I smiled in victory.

And then a few months later,

“Kill them all! ”

Peacekeeper, where have you been?

# 46 Their Reason: What a Dragon's Reach

“No problem, mortal. ”

“That means……. ”

“Yes, this child is perfectly liberated. ”

The head of the covenanted Karan clan sighs.

“What about Astra? ”

“He checked, but found no signs of an anomaly. ”

“Do you think that means that the fragments of evil have been completely eliminated? ”

“No, that's not gonna happen. ”

Fragments of evil. It was a name that almost led to the destruction of our dragons, which lacked the number of their kind.

Pieces of evil that have been sown into the world since the Evil God was sealed.

Even we, called the strongest race on earth, have failed to completely eliminate the fragments of that evil.

“As long as there is evil in the world, there are fragments of evil. ”

It was a fragment of evil that nurtured the evil that came upon the tribe.

Even if it's temporarily gone, it should naturally appear after thousands of years.

“Even if this child has no problem, there is no guarantee that you and the offspring of our tribe will not be harmed. ”

So the pact must go on.

“Is that so?”

I looked at the emperor of the empire sighing with a complex expression.

“Don't you need our strength? ”

“It'll get better. But that's the threat, isn't it? ”

Yes, there were many side effects to the fragments of evil.

However,

“You don't have to worry. Fragments of evil that are parasitic to dragons do you no harm. There is no such thing as a Demon King as a fragment of evil that exists in Humankind. ”

The Demon King. He's called the Devil's Apostle.

He risked his life to destroy the world and was a monster that could turn any creature except humans and elves around into a vicious army.

“Is that so?”

“Yes. The end of those who possess the fragments of evil is the opposite of the evil from which the fragments of evil are drawn. ”

We didn't find out. It was the result that the entire dragon stood up and checked with God.

What we derive from the parasitic fragments of evil is the longing for reproduction. To be precise, he was eager to increase the number of his clans.

And the fragments of evil took that malice and brought death to our family.

“So don't worry, mortal. ”

“There's no way you won't be worried about death. ”

“That's... I'm sorry. ”

Even though the relationship was made of an agreement, it was a clan that was dying on our behalf.

I could apologize for that.

“Amazing……. ”

“I know what it means, but even dragons are like dragons. ”

Most dragons are arrogant, but the roads aren't stupid enough to send them as lions.

“Maybe you should apologize. ”

I could apologize as much as I wanted if I could keep the promise.

“No, I think it's too much. ”

“Then let's stop. And perhaps one member of the clan will be sent here. Give him a proper title and let Astra work around him. ”

“Another dragon? ”

I nodded my head to the slightly surprised emperor.

“It looks like a fragment passed to Astra, but we need to keep an eye on her since she's not responding well. ”

I'm just going to watch closely and report back to my family.

The emperor also gave us permission to infiltrate the human race, saying, "Don't worry, we will never intervene in human history."

And after a while.

“What's this? ”

Regular reports from the first dragon dispatched.

In the report sent by letter:

< I think you're crazy. >

It was filled with the agony and profanity of the dragon that was dispatched.
