Episode 44

“Everyone seems to be misunderstanding something, but I’m trying to do my duty as the husband of the Imperial Empress, and I’m not doing this to suit you guys.”

With Isaac’s words, a pressure that made it hard to breathe settled in the conference room.

One of the Margraves of Defense defending the Empire, Sir Robert Gordon of the West, was able to realize their mistake.

‘This is deplorable. The Magic Corps wasn’t important.’

Last night, at the request of the head of the Academy of Magic, the Margraves of Defense secretly gathered and were offered a deal by Selemin, who faced them instead of the head of the society.

The content of the transaction was simple. She asked the margraves to make herself Isaac’s concubine because she would teach them how to train battle mages called the Magic Corps.

‘It was a concept that hadn’t existed before, so I had no choice but to develop interest and greed… … ‘

The Margraves of Defense always wanted new weapons and soldiers as they had the duty of defending the border.

Since they were like that, the concept of the Magic Corps that Selemin had mentioned was intriguing.

First of all, the Magic Corps did not exist in other human countries. Of course, everyone knew the lethal power that magicians could cause, so they were used anywhere in the military.

‘However, the Mayer kingdom was different.’

Ordinary countries never bring wizards to the fore.

Each wizard who had to invest a long time and money in training was a valuable combatant, and there was a risk that allies would be caught in a large-scale magic attack, so they usually stepped forward for a while to preemptively and then fell back.

Or at all, they take on the role of supporting with interception from the rear, but the Magic Corps of Meyer Kingdom was a completely different type of soldiers from the conventional use of magicians.

‘According to Selemin, they were pros in combat who directly stepped forward and fought. He said that while he had great fighting power, his level of magic was surprisingly low, so he could easily train him.’

It was an element that couldn’t be less attractive.

In fact, among the magicians of the Kingdom of Mayer that Selemin saw, the level of magic proficiency of those who went to the battlefield was only about that of an undergraduate at the Imperial Magic Society.

However, due to the environmental characteristics of the Mayer Kingdom, magic was used only as a tool for combat with techniques that had undergone trial and error and improvement over a long period of time.

In other words, it meant that the wizard could be trained quickly at a speed that was incomparable to the existing training speed.

Since it didn’t take much time to train and it didn’t require a high level, it didn’t require talent, so it was possible to create a large number of soldiers in a short period of time.

Selemin brought information about the training, upbringing, and strategy of the magic corps from King Mayer, who wanted to repay Isaac for saving him, and shook the Marquis with it.

It is true that the margraves who heard her story were greedy for power reinforcement. However, the foundation of that desire was, of course, the desire to protect the empire.

‘But I was wrong. If I really wanted to protect the empire, I should have visited that young hero first and swore allegiance.’

He didn’t say anything, but it wasn’t hard to see that the other marques were thinking the same thing.

Isaac was obviously angry now, but he didn’t have murderous intentions. Nevertheless, everyone in this place felt with their whole body that their lives were in his hands.

An overwhelming feeling of intimidation that cannot even be described as awe. It is a talent and power that those who stand above others must have.

The Margraves thought that what the empire needed now was a being like him who could bring all people to their knees without drawing their swords.

‘If only I could get through this moment safely.’

To him they would be loyal, the margraves swore.

—

As the margraves admitted their mistakes and awaited Isaac’s verdict, the others were thinking their own thoughts as well.

– In the case of Lord Daisy O’Brien.

‘Is this really a power that humans can possess?’

Daisy O’Brien, who had resisted the urge to get off her chair at any moment, lay flat and beg for her life, now realized what Duke Jericho’s advice meant.

It was an animal that could never be put on a leash.

– In the case of Duke Fabian Géricault.

‘f*cked up… … I could never have thought that even the Empress’s younger sister was aiming for Isaac.’

Fabian Géricault did not think that Isaac had touched Selemine. It was hard to imagine that he would do something that would make the empress sad.

However, I thought that being too popular was also a problem. In addition, they saw hope in the fact that Isaac had not yet sincerely put pressure on them.

If Isaac had been really angry and raised an aura, most of those sitting here would have gone to the afterlife long ago.

– In the case of Catherine Thatcher, president of the Sorcery Association.

‘I’m going to die today.’

And she gave up on second thoughts.

– Chancellors, ministers, marshals and government officials and local nobles

‘What? What is the situation? Someone please explain!’

Even though I was scared, it felt strangely exciting.

-In the case of the Hounds, the Empress’s direct bodyguard and Isaac’s subordinates.

‘this. The captain is angry.’

Since there was nothing they could do anyway, they crossed the river and watched with a sense of helplessness.

– In the case of Haria.

‘ha… . The angry captain is also cool. By the way, I got a sense of it last time, but I didn’t know Selemin would go this far.’

Though thinking that the angry Isaac was okay, Haria was carefully examining each and every one of her actions in order not to let her guard down against Selemin.

If it was Selemin when the mad wizard of flames terrorized the system, he wouldn’t have been this strong. Haria thought that there must have been something when she went to Mayer Kingdom with Isaac.

‘I’m sorry Selemine. You were a good colleague.’

Haria felt sincere regret as she added Selemin’s name to the list of people who must be killed.

-For Selemin.

‘Tsk. I could never have thought the same as I did about Haria.’

Marianne was naturally wary, but Haria thought there was nothing she could do right now. Selemin was very angry at the same time as he reflected that he seemed to have taken Haria too lightly.

‘Nobody knows anything about Isaac!’

Selmin glared at Marianne and Haria.

At most, he was different from the women who mixed their bodies a few times as an outlet for his s*xual desire. Selemine truly thought that only she in the world understood Isaac.

He himself had watched all of Isaac’s life. No one knows more about Isaac than he does.

‘What good. After all, even if you don’t like it, you’ll understand the difference.’

If he and Isaac showed genuine understanding of each other, they would fall apart on their own. Still, if he couldn’t give up and was sloppy at him, Selemin was going to help by showing kindness for that moment.

by killing

– In the case of Marianne.

‘Ah, really! Why am I happy even at a time like this?!’

As Emperor, Marianne was concerned that Isaac was threatening others.

However, as a woman, Marianne was passionate about her husband’s anger when she was in trouble.

Even when he was angry, he was lovely. Even if he kills everyone except himself and destroys the empire, he can’t help but love her.

‘Of course not.’

It was real that he was angry, but Marianne knew that he was threatening not an outburst of anger, but rather trying to straighten out a meeting that was getting messy.

In case of a mistake, who the opponent was was not a consideration for Isaac, but at least he didn’t have to worry about someone dying for now.

Haria and Selemin know that, so they are not losing their composure. Marianne was grateful for Isaac’s consideration, but glared at the two people who had caused the situation.

‘I want to kill them both right away, but the situation itself caused by those b*tches is worth taking advantage of.’

Even if it wasn’t so, he was struggling with how to coax the local lords, the Marquis of Defense, and the Sorcery Society.

Marianne had made some preparations in her own way, but she wasn’t confident that she would be able to convince them.

In the midst of that, he was unexpectedly persuaded from the other side first. Marianne, who was prepared for significant bleeding in various aspects such as finances, politics, and location, could not help but think of it as a golden opportunity.

‘The only thing that takes is the part of having to go over to the number of goals of those two years… … are you okay. I’m the one Isaac loves the most.’

I wasn’t without anxiety, but I was confident. It was herself as a wife who had been loved. Regarding Selemin and Haria, you can use them as you can and then remove them when their usefulness drops.

Even before its usefulness diminished, I was thinking of killing it if I had to kill it. In particular, I didn’t want to imagine it, but if a situation came that Isaac would pay more attention to the two of them than to himself.

‘I will kill you.’

then kill never kill kill unconditionally. Even if Isaac gets angry. Even if it makes him sad.

‘certainly.’

will kill

Was it about this?

Thinking that the atmosphere in the conference hall, which had been becoming chaotic, was moderately organized, I softened my spirits. I was angry and embarrassed, but I had to prevent an important meeting from fizzling out.

That’s why I deliberately created a sense of intimidation, and the effect was fully demonstrated. There was no point in frightening him more than this.

As Marianne has said before, dominion by fear is meaningless. The moment the ruled class escapes fear even a little, the domination collapses as well.

“You’d better not think of putting a leash around my neck. However, I promise to make a decision after properly considering the stories of the margraves and local lords after discussing them with the parties concerned.”

Haria and Selemin’s sudden action was unexpected, but it was clear that it was an opportunity. So, after exchanging glances with Marianne, we confirmed that we were thinking the same thing, and then continued.

“So, let’s put that part on hold and continue the meeting.”

After that, the meeting resumed and proceeded as scheduled. After coming to their senses, they talked about the future of the empire, sometimes coldly and sometimes enthusiastically.

On the other hand, as I stood back and watched the meeting, my mind was still in a complicated state.

No, if it’s Haria, I can understand it at least, but why the hell is Selemine? It’s not like she’s trying to become my concubine simply out of an inferiority complex toward Marianne. do you really want me On what occasion? Since when?

There was nothing with Selemin, so I couldn’t find out more. I don’t think there’s any other way than to ask the person concerned.

It was meant to be that way from the beginning.

a few hours later When today’s meeting was barely over, I called Haria and Selemin.

“You two remain.”

It was a lion face-to-face time.
