The Prince Wants To Retire

35. coronation! (2)

When everyone cheered at the news of the victory that was finally heard, the coronation ceremony of Kariel, who had been postponed and postponed, was also officially announced.

Then, the Iron League, which had been in a state of improvisation, also fell into a state of lull for a while.

This is inevitable because the Empire, which officially occupied the territories of the small countries, faces the border with the southern kingdoms after the defeat of the Small Powers Alliance.

As a result, the Roteon, which was encamped in Iron, became ambiguous.

The army that swallowed the small countries growled as if it would break into Roteon’s borders at once.

And it was the same with Talos.

The tension in the southern kingdoms facing the Empire and its armies directly was no joke.

The coronation ceremony will be held in an atmosphere where war is likely to break out at any moment.

“your majesty.”

At the call of the chief chamberlain, Kariel, who had been out of paperwork hell for the first time in a while, stood up.

After receiving a massage for a few days and taking a rest, Kariel’s beauty returned to some extent, and her face shone.

In such a situation, along with a purple cloak, he carried a scepter symbolizing the emperor and put on a ring.

All that remains now is to wear the crown.

“What about the subjugation army?”

“It will arrive soon.”

“let’s go.”

Cariel climbed into the carriage to greet the troops who had sounded the news of victory, and headed for the castle gate through the plaza.

Kariel waited at the gates to hold the coronation ceremony with the glorious army that had reclaimed the former territory.

Soon after, the troops dressed in clean clothes entered the gate.

After changing into clothes prepared in advance from a nearby territory, the troops passed through the castle gate and stopped in front of the emperor.

“Meet the new Emperor, His Majesty!”

“Everyone suffered. Glory be to those who have been restored to glory.”

All the troops prostrated themselves at the Emperor’s blessing, and bowed their heads, raising their weapons with both hands.

“I give all these honors to Your Majesty.”

Kariel, who received all the glory of the Empire alone, nodded and got on the white horse prepared in advance.

Finally, as we walked along the path of glory with the victorious army and headed for the coronation ceremony, the people of the empire began to cheer.

Even in the midst of civil war and external threats, the emperor managed to clear up the chaos by enduring steadfastly.

The emperor passed through the square with the victorious army.

Originally, they should have headed to the imperial palace, but this time it was different. A place where only the proven emperors of all time could go.

Headed to the Tower of Fire in honor of the first emperor who was resurfaced by the Secret Guard.

The door to the Tower of Fire, which had never been opened in a long time, opened.

Then, the expression of the victor was filled with joy.

It was not enough to have a triumphant ceremony, so he got an opportunity to enter the Tower of Fire, which is one of the few in the long history of the empire.

“I will go with those who have restored the glory of the empire.”

“Everything according to Your Majesty’s will.”

Truly, a qualified emperor who came after a long time.

At his command, the entire Secret Guard stooped out of the way.

Then, numerous troops climbed the path of glory together.

4 margraves, 3 masters, and the family of a hero who saved the empire from crises several times were only the grand duchess, the family head, and the minor family, and finally, the two princes and the princess, who were direct members of the imperial family, could be together on the road.

As the victorious army filled the glorious space where even the prime minister and the ministers could not sit, Kariel got off his horse and slowly climbed up to the torch placed above.

At that moment, a red energy emanated from Kariel’s body, and the torches located on either side of the stairs began to burn.

Hwareuk!

As they climbed, the slowly burning fires continued up to the torch.

As soon as she climbed to the top, a red pattern appeared on Kariel’s forehead, and the light started to burn and the torch began to burn.

A fire began to ignite in a huge torch that had been extinguished for decades during the three-generation dark period, creating a fire that could be seen anywhere in the capital.

At that moment, another translucent window appeared.

[You have all the qualifications to fulfill the imperial promise. Only those who qualify will be fulfilled.]

[It has the power to subdue the gatekeepers of hell.]

[According to the oath, you will be able to use all the hidden powers of the imperial family.]

[The primordial fire has stabilized. Now, the primordial fire will faithfully follow your words.]

A red pillar soared to the end of the sky above Kariel, who had a hazy expression the moment she saw the translucent window.

At that very moment, another translucent window was created.

[??? There is another contract with God. The contract overlaps.]

[The body is fully recovered ??? A special hidden gift from God is given.]

[??? The reward for the hidden contract of the god is given according to the performance.]

[Reward is given for performance that exceeds expectations.]

[One. Drive the Warlock out of the Empire.

2. Resurrecting the Ancient Covenant.

3. Exterminate warlocks in the West Continent.

※ Since you accomplished the above three achievements, you will receive additional rewards.]

[You will be notified of all dangers related to hell in the future.]

[The growth rate of contractors is accelerating.]

Kariel, who was reading the message from the window spread out in the air, heard a notification sound that only he could hear.

[Reserved ??? I have a message from God. Would you like to hear?]

As Kariel tilted his head at the sound of the alarm and nodded slightly, the windows in front of him disappeared and a new window with a message from God appeared.

[I didn’t know you were going to come this far.

If you see this message, it must mean that the ancient oath made by me and the first emperor has been revived.

Whether you keep this oath or not is up to you, but I’d recommend fulfilling it.]

Seeing the message from God, Kariel’s expression hardened.

This time, as he watched the god he was trying to sneak away, he spit out abusive language inside.

Of course, he had no intention of keeping his oath.

I’m still going to die, because if I keep the promise, I won’t be able to retire for the rest of my life.

[By the way, the empire you protected was eventually destroyed.]

The moment she saw this sentence, Kariel’s eyelids began to tremble.

“What?”

Unwittingly, the message appeared in the air again.

[I wonder why?

Your younger brother Miriel led it well, but it ended up falling apart.

The Demon King has appeared again.

You died, how did you reappear?

A new demon king has appeared. The position of the Demon King is nothing like her apostle.

If you don’t stop her, the continent will one day be occupied by hell.]

The moment I read this far, Kariel’s expression began to wrinkle.

The crisis in the western continent was no different from child’s play.

The problem is then

[By the way, the only one who can stop her is my apostle. As you may have noticed at this point, you are my apostle.

I don’t like it, but I can’t help it.]

“Such a dog… … .”

Kariel, who unknowingly spat out curse words, gritted her teeth.

[I’m angry, but what can I do?

They say you have to roll to protect this world… … .

So watch this time. Shouldn’t we enjoy the YOLO life and die?]

With these words, God’s message came to an end.

[A person with proof has heard the truth of the world. I have all the qualifications an apostle should have.]

[The goddess of hell is watching you.]

[With the advent of the apostle, priests of fire in the empire will be able to use divine power.]

[You will receive the blessings of the fire spirits.]

[Everyone in the Empire is blessed with all fire-related talents.]

[※Hell’s minions have started their activities in the East Continent. Prepare for future crises.]

The translucent window disappeared along with the message to prepare for future crises.

Nevertheless, Kariel’s expression didn’t know how to straighten.

Just then, the translucent window reappeared.

[??? You acquired the remnants of destruction as a special gift from God.]

To him, the things that happened in his previous life after he died were sucked into his head in an instant.

“… … Did you really perish?”

It was an empire that had been preserved through all sorts of hardships in its previous life.

The empire eventually collapsed.

Miriel, who had some talent, made tremendous technological progress and eventually became a master, but was destroyed by bizarre monsters.

Even though all the countries of the West Continent as well as the East Continent perished, Miriel fought until the end using the capital as a base.

But in the end, when the capital collapsed, he took his life along with the empire.

After that, the new continent and the southern islands were all swallowed up by hell.

‘… … Is this the reason for the return?’

We don’t know what God received from the God of Earth.

One thing is certain, the reason why God cheated on himself and brought him back was to change the future in which destruction was predicted.

In addition, there is a gatekeeper of hell in the oath.

He thought that perhaps the gatekeeper would play a decisive role in preventing Hell from coming over.

Her head felt like it would explode, but knowing that everyone was looking at her, Kariel turned around and looked at the victorious army.

Then, the eyes of the secret guards who were watching it opened wide.

“I… … That pattern!”

The imperial family pattern engraved on Kariel’s forehead.

The pattern has changed.

After changing into a pattern that had never been seen since the first emperor, it was emitting a soft light.

At the same time, a holy light flowed from her body, no matter who could see it.

Kariel, who had transformed into a saint-like figure, slowly climbed down the stairs and followed the path made by the victorious army that split on both sides and left the tower.

Then, the ministers who were waiting outside lowered their heads in unison.

“Meet Your Majesty!”

As all the nobles, including the ministers, prostrated themselves toward Kariel, who gave off a mysterious atmosphere, the chancellor carefully placed the crown on Kariel’s head with trembling hands.

Then, the emperor’s scepter, ring, and crown radiated red light, emitting red waves around it.

When the Imperial Treasure, which was said to only respond to those who were recognized, shone, even the people of the Empire who had gathered in the vicinity fell to their knees.

“With this, you have been officially crowned as the new emperor of Ignit’s Empire.”

The Prime Minister barely spoke in a trembling voice, then fell down, and only Kariel stood and looked at everyone.

Everyone bows their heads without even making eye contact.

I wanted to promise one thing to these people.

“I promise you one thing. The glory of the Empire will not be lost while Jim reigns.”

The empire of a previous life that was eventually destroyed.

Miriel and Glen, who had suffered and died together with the empire.

For their sake, in this lifetime, I wanted to watch this empire without fail.

‘Retirement is farther away.’

The moment he became emperor, he knew that retirement was far away.

However, the moment he learned the truth about the world, he wondered if he would be able to retire before he turned 40.

‘Someday I’ll be able to.’

Thinking so, Kariel slowly walked along the path made by the bureaucrats and the people of the empire.

Everyone who saw it couldn’t help but think this way.

‘Perhaps a being comparable to His Majesty the first emperor has appeared?’

The first emperor, revered as the greatest being in the empire.

Before he knew it, Kariel had become an existence that challenged his stronghold to the people of the Empire.

But some had even more dangerous thoughts.

The idea that maybe I could serve the greatest emperor in the history of the empire.

It was a well-grounded idea because even the first emperor couldn’t show this level of activity in his teens.

One thing is for sure, the existence of Kariel has already made a number of achievements in the history of the Empire.

To this end, all newspapers in the empire published newspapers with the same title.

「Praise the great emperor who will shine the empire.」
