She Is Not a Witch

In the middle of the empire, the army of the Griffon family swept in, conquered 6 provinces in a row, and gradually approached the imperial capital Titania.

At this time of crisis, a massive mobilization and convening order was issued within the empire. Countless noble vassals loyal to the royal family gathered troops in their territories and began to gather towards the agreed place.

In the square in front of Titania, the imperial capital, the coats of arms and flags of various families were flying, and the current emperor was wearing a golden and red military uniform, standing on a high platform, and giving a final speech before departure.

His voice is not thick, but his enunciation is clear, and he strives to read every sentence as short, clear and powerful as possible.

"People of the empire, now we have reached the most critical moment. As the emperor of the empire, I summon you and order you to defeat the western griffins."

"This is not only because of glory, but also because we must never hand over the power of the empire to the hands of barbarians. Now our world is undergoing transformation, and many new things are beginning to change everything. This is an unprecedented era , our existence will profoundly change the world.”

"And you, your victory not only defended the dignity of the empire, but also defended your homeland, relatives, wealth, and even the future."

"I am proud and proud of your bravery."

"Go forward, people of the empire, the rose moon of victory will shine forever!"

After the words fell, there was a round of applause in the square, and then the army began to march westward, and gradually fought the griffin army.

After the hundreds of thousands of troops gradually left the imperial capital, Elio stood on the high star observation tower of the Rose Palace, overlooking the winding figure in the far field.

"Why, are you still worried?" A silver-purple maid walked up to the top of the tower with small steps and came behind Elio.

"Yes, how can you rest assured?" Elio rubbed his temples, then turned around.

"It seems that you are still a little depressed. Also, the passing of Aurone makes you feel very guilty and regretful."

"After all, she is a rare and beautiful girl, and she is so talented. Maybe you have been tempted." Konos put the fruit and snacks on the table, and then sat opposite Elio.

After hearing this, Elio shook his head slightly, but stopped talking.

"The position of the emperor is very different from what I imagined in the past."

"Did you think that once you become the emperor, you can do whatever you want, giggle." Konos chuckled, then stopped, and peeled the fruit for Elio.

"It's like this. When you are an emperor, there are actually some things that you can't completely follow your mind. If you forcefully reverse them, even the emperor will suffer backlash. This may be a betrayal, it may be hatred, it may be notoriety, or it may be misunderstood. "Kornos said simply, and then fed the peeled orange petals to Elio.

"I used to think that to be a wise monarch, just like those great monarchs in historical legends, let the people live and work in peace and happiness."

"However, I found that I can't do it. I can't even do the simplest thing of feeding the people." Elio shook his head.

"Is the food really not enough? Maybe not, but the scarcity of food will definitely sell for a good price, which will be liked by a small number of people, and they can easily take advantage of it to make profits."

"I thought about letting the imperial army collect food, and then roughly distribute it according to demand, but soon, I dispelled this unrealistic idea myself."

"It's easy for people with power to find loopholes, and the process of military expropriation may not be fair and clean."

"Later I thought, at least let everyone be richer, so that life can be improved, but those rich businessmen will only be more skillful in suppressing civilians."

"It's like shaking a rope. The common people are always at the end of the rope. No matter how large the range, benefits, etc. are in the front, it will become smaller when it reaches there, and it will always be the smallest."

Elio looked at the gradually dimming sky, with disappointment and ending on his young face.

"I'm sorry, I'm just a child who grew up in the countryside. If I were to be the emperor of the empire, I'm afraid I would disappoint everyone."

"The Griffin family rebelled, and the loyal northern border no longer obeyed. Internal conflicts continued. Even a small number of simple and beautiful people died under my stupid orders."

"The empire is like a wooden box with its nails removed. Now it is on the verge of falling apart. Although I know that I am likely to die in this war, I sometimes wonder what the empire will look like in the future."

"Is it going to continue in the past, just change the emperor, will it continue to exist?"

"Or, it's fragmented, it becomes several countries, and then they conflict with each other, they are isolated, and they are no longer one."

"Or, it was weakened due to disintegration, and finally unified by Crancia and became part of a big country."

"Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem to matter whether I, the emperor, exists or not."

When Elio was talking, Konos came up behind him lightly, hugged him, and stroked Elio's head comfortingly.

Although on the surface, the two are similar in age, but to Kornos, Elio is just a very young child.

"You've been too tired during this time. In fact, when other emperors ascended the throne, they were far from the complicated difficulties you encounter today."

"You've done a good job, Elio." Knoss said softly.

"In order to improve the environment of the people in the empire, you dispatched ceremonial officials to inspect various noble fiefs and solve those backlogs."

"In disregard of the majesty of the emperor, you let the court scholars go to study in the southern border, just for the sake of more food in the empire, so that everyone can eat more."

"In order to let the rich commoners have dignity, you set up the Royal Council, so that they can have equal opportunities to speak with the nobles."

"I don't want those children to be deceived anymore. UU reading www.uukanshu.com sees the beauty and vastness of this world. You have tried your best to build a lot of schools. Although they haven't reached the standard you expected, at least many children can see them. Here comes hope."

"Although the nobles doubt and oppose Ni's actions, and the common people don't understand the hardships behind these policies, I can see them all."

"You're a good boy, Elio."

"If the former crown prince brothers were alive, they would definitely be proud of you."

"Don't give up easily, I'm still here, I will always stand by your side and support you,"

"Even if glory misses you, even if the world is against you."

"Even if the light has nothing to do with you."

"You are still blooming in my heart, you are still my dream, and you are still my hero."

"Until the end of the world, the end of the winter of eternal darkness."
