Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

721 The Emperor'S End

It wasn't for any reason that I was looking up at the ceiling as I fell asleep on the floor.

That's all I had to do, simply because I couldn't help myself.

"Oh, ho, ho...!

And when I felt uncomfortable in my throat and spit out with the cough, the red and black stain spread right in front of me.

Hot on the smell of smoke and in good health.

Totally...

"The emperor and the others are different..."

He groans with a grin of self-derision and coughs up again.

Victoria wondered how this could have happened, feeling the fever and pain from her abdomen without stopping.

"... No, there's really nothing there, is there? In the end, the concubine was foolish..."

Lamberto's voice had reached this far.

It's all Victoria's fault that I let you say that.

It was all because of Victoria's weakness.

This is the end of a foolish woman who didn't deserve it, who had an excessive wish.

"My concubine just wanted to make this country better... chest up, I just wanted to be proud... Damn, that's a good thing..."

Empire of the Upitel, a great power located in the central part of the Arcanum continent.

With more than a thousand years of history, the only empire in the world, the Upitel, but in fact the most prosperous in the world, etc. has only been said for the past decade or so.

Until then, it was said that it was only the second and third countries, lions who could sleep with irony, etc.

Besides, it's not uncommon to treat it as anything less.

It was often said that it was a big country, but had thus gained more than a certain amount of trust, but at the same time it had only accumulated history.

It's not absolutely trustworthy beyond being a country to country, but Upitel was nevertheless treated very lightly for what he called a big country.

Nevertheless, it was a matter of no choice.

That's all Yupitel has done... no, because he hasn't.

Yupitel has never fulfilled his responsibility to be a great nation.

If you say it most recently, so was the last time the Demon King was exorcised.

At that time, regardless of the authenticity of the countries, at least almost all the countries in the pre-construction era were at war and cooperating.

But Upitel is the only one who decides what to look like then.

It was only with the friendship of each country that I let it, but that's all.

At last, I never had to give it a shot.

Veritas, then called the world's greatest power, was compared to many others because it was also a neighbour.

Victoria couldn't stand it.

Since there was no way out, there was no reason why other countries should not know... because the Upitel was clearly superior even to Veritas at its peak.

It's all about national power, including military power.

But for some reason Yupitel concealed it, and spoiled it as a country second to none.

At the time, Victoria wanted to show it because it was obvious that it was the best, and she had advanced it many times in fact.

But it won't be accepted... eventually it won't be necessary.

Because my father and mother were in an accident and became people who didn't return.

And.

Because Victoria, who had not yet received an adult at the time, was to succeed the throne.

The days since have been difficult, but also rewarding.

Fortunately, my surroundings never insulted me about myself as a little girl or anything else, and they understood what I wanted to do.

They also felt itchy about the status quo.

Partly, only the experienced and the aged have tried to be easy or opposed, but if they show a strong willingness to push forward, they fall back -

"... oh no, did those guys foresee that eventually this would... be possible? Then the concubine is foolish beyond salvation..."

But that's how I made myself mock now, and it's a later festival.

Time does not return, only the result is that we pushed forward.

But it was worth it, and Yupitel came this far.

Everyone praised the great nation and prospered.

Without being slapped in the pussy with the earliest famous powers, etc., Victoria was still, at that time, not one thing wrong.

It's supposed to...

"... but actually, it was wrong, I guess"

I hate to admit it, but this is the reality.

What the hell did I do wrong when I said I pushed it up to the best power in the world at the corner?

... No, I'm sure the truth is, I knew.

Long time ago.

He welcomed an adult and officially took over the throne of emperor… but still, since he was not allowed to name the Yupitel.

Victoria Y. Arcanum.

This Y is not actually an abbreviation or the like.

I can't name Yupitel, but I'm not allowed to name him, which is why I can only name him halfway through.

He is certainly an emperor, but at the same time he is not truly recognized as an emperor.

It was its name that embodied such contradictions.

All emperors in history were allowed to call themselves Upitels, but for some reason Victoria was not the only one.

Though, that's not why I got on sweet words.

It was also for another reason.

"I had the confidence and pride that a concubine could do whatever it takes... and so on, it's just an excuse. No, or not even."

But I didn't decide on my attitude to the Demon King or the world because I got on with nothing sweet, and that conclusion itself was decided at the end of the discussion in the first place.

Well, it was the military that mainly agreed with me, and because of that, there was a lot of crack between me and the civilians... but that doesn't mean who was wrong.

I'm sure they were both right.

That's just the story of which you thought was more likely.

And Victoria and the others came to the conclusion that the doom of the world would be inevitable.

So I rode sweet words.

We decided to turn to the side of destruction.

"... it may have been, in the end, our own cuteness in a way. Considering that you love the world and you've taken our country,"

Yes, the story I told Soma, it's not even accurate.

Yeah, it's true that I had that idea, and I'm pretty sure it was a number of factors.

But it was for another reason that it was the last deciding factor.

It's a simple story.

If we are on the side of destruction, we will always be the last to perish.

Victoria simply wanted to keep the people of her own country alive for a little longer.

Even if the people hate me.

If only there were just a few understanders, just a little longer, and the people would live.

"But the result of thinking so, is this possible? Well... maybe the concubine didn't deserve an emperor or something."

- Exactly.

Words returned to the whining that should have been solitary, and if I turned my gaze reflexively, it was the person I knew who was there.

Victoria couldn't possibly have misseen the face of a man standing at the entrance that was beginning to be engulfed in flames.

Lamberto Y. Arcanum.

He was the only flesh parent left in Victoria and the fruitful brother who divided the blood.

Such, Victoria hoists the edge of her mouth toward a man who can no longer be called her brother from the moment she succeeds the Emperor.

It was even like self-derision, or maybe a relief.

"What's up? I thought I was going to steam my concubine like this... but you decided to change your mind?

"... right, I honestly got lost. I will burn you to pieces between the thrones that are no longer needed, or I will cut you off in front of the people."

"... I see. I was wondering why I set fire to it in the first place, because I no longer needed it here because I didn't need the emperor himself."

"It would be easier to understand that we all really don't need it anymore."

"Hmm...... and the fact that the concubine showed herself before she died still meant that she decided to use this body to absolve herself?

"No...? I decided to make a third choice."

With that said, Lambert comes close, but never had any sweet thoughts.

Decide to die here and life will save you.

Because I'm not the sweet guy to think about that.

So, this is...

"I mean, kill him directly with my hands."

"Come on... just in case it's possible to burn it, huh?

"Oh. There can be the possibility of running away with someone on your behalf, and above all there is the possibility of suspecting that. But if I kill you here and expose your neck, you'll have nothing to doubt."

"I see... now you're also going to be acquitted."

As she nodded, Victoria just stared jiggly at death approaching.

I wasn't willing to resist.

Sometimes I don't have that power anymore, and there's nothing I can do about it.

This one was unarmed and the spear was firmly gripped in Lambert's hand.

Lamberto is the best user in this world, not just in this country, if you let him handle spears.

As much as there was no point in resisting, I knew that no one would tell me.

Hence.

"Come on...... are you ready?

"Not good to be honest...... well, I guess I'll have no choice. Can we leave this to them?

"Oh. We'll take over the rest. So... you die here."

"Right..."

Well, I guess that's it.

"- No, that's not a good idea."

It was then that the voice was heard.
