27. Grand Marshal (1)

Barnok, capital of the Astes Empire.

Yuma and the others got off the magic train.

As soon as Yuma passed the station platform and arrived at the station’s central square, he faced a man with brown hair coming towards him.

Her man lowered his head.

“This is Viscount Bennet. Lord Yuma. I came to meet you under the instructions of Princess Brigitte.”

Yuma nodded slowly.

“Nice to meet you.”

“I’m sorry, but I need you to go to the imperial palace right now. It looks like the 1st Prince is planning to gather the nobles and criticize Lord Yu. It looks like he’s planning to instigate something that’s not good for Lord Yu. .”

Clone’s eyes sharpened at Viscount Bennet’s words.

“Um…Nya.”

Hestia was dozing off while standing, her drool still dripping from the corner of her mouth.

“Eggplant.”

Yuma said harshly.

“We have prepared a carriage.”

Yuma and his party rode a carriage and moved to the imperial capital.

***

Prince Schwerce was very displeased.

Obviously, compared to Princess Brigitte 1, she had more nobles supporting her. However, recently, the position within the Noble House has been distorted.

And it was quite clear who was responsible for the incident.

Yuma.

The being that suddenly fell from the sky was not only trying to narrow its position, but was trying to completely crush it.

Why does the taken-for-granted rule that in times of emergency when the throne is empty, the prince’s side naturally receive priority, turn against him?

‘We have to impose restrictions somehow.’

His identity.

On his authority.

We must make sure that honor no longer follows him.

That’s why I created this place.

Even though he went to the Southern Front and made tremendous contributions, he had to be downgraded to no longer pose a threat.

So, we gathered all the nobles that could be gathered in the capital’s imperial conference room.

First Prince Schwerze gazed at the nobles surrounding the circle of her round table.

The total number of nobles gathered in the conference room was 18. Titles ranged from viscount to marquis.

The fact that 18 nobles could be gathered just before the day in the capital of the empire proved that Schwerce’s authority was still alive and well.

Schwerce sighed in relief.

“Has everyone gathered?”

The blonde prince looked at the nobles and opened his mouth. Schwerze gave a vaguely solemn expression. Because what I was going to say now was very important.

“This is a place to ask for sins. It is a situation where a being named Yuma, who is not even a noble but just a commoner, is running around in the empire like this. As the prince of the Astes Empire, I do not like it. “

After setting the mood, Schwerche continued his speech.

“He has neutralized half of the 10 imperial seats, which are the military backbone of the empire. Because of that situation, the manpower to defend the southern border is not being fully replenished. This unidentified man named Yuma is left in his current state. Should we let it go? I don’t think we should.”

Several nobles nodded loudly and agreed with the prince’s words. Of course, the majority of those nobles were originally nobles of the so-called ‘Schwerce school’.

“This means that even if he achieves great achievements on the front lines, he should not be treated as a hero. There are clear legal restrictions. I think there should be at least magical restrictions on him who may go on a rampage at any time.”

It was right after 1st Prince Schwerce finished speaking.

Geekigeek─!!

The door to the conference room opened roughly.

“Some author spoke so harshly and without a word!!”

Ardolt, a nobleman of the strong Schwerce school, kicked the ground and stood up from his chair.

But he soon sat down again with a distraught look on his face.

“…Princess Brigitte.”

Brigitte walked toward the blonde prince without even looking at Ardolt.

“You were telling a very interesting story, brother.”

Brigitte looked at Schwerce with blue eyes.

Schwerce’s brow furrowed.

“Brigitte….”

Brigitte looked down at Prince Schubert, who was sitting cross-legged in her chair.

“I should have told you clearly last time. My agent. The reason my sword broke your brother’s sword was only to protect himself and me. It was your sword that attacked first.”

Schwerce’s mouth twisted.

“So, you’re saying that tearing the Empire’s Ten Seas, the backbone of the Empire’s military power, in half is something that can’t be helped? Responsibility. It means taking the minimum responsibility. Loyalty to the country. All you have to do is pledge that loyalty. Pledge at the risk of mana. “I guess we can do this. So that they don’t rebel against the imperial family.”

Mana’s Oath.

An oath made by risking mana.

However, the ‘mana’ that Yuma promised did not even exist for Yuma… !

Of course, no one here knew that.

“Well.”

Even Brigitte slightly furrowed her pretty eyebrows.

“It wouldn’t matter if your brother could handle him, but I don’t think he could possibly recommend saying something like that in front of him.”

Schwerce twisted the corner of his mouth.

“Yes, one of my people…”

Someone cut off Schwerze’s words when he was trying to preach the greatness of the royal lineage.

“I would also like to add a comment to Princess Brigitte’s words. Her Majesty Prince Schwerce, Yuma the War God. I think it would be best not to offend him.”

Schwerche quickly turned his head to see who had dared to cut off the royal bloodline’s words.

The red-haired man there was someone that First Prince Schubert knew well.

“Red Magic Tower Master, Eldrie.”

Eldrie, the Grand Wizard of the 7th Circle, maintained the appearance of a young man, unlike his age of over 40.

He was a lord who lived like a brother in the Viscounty of Sepiton, located above the transit city of Akan.

A fire attribute genius wizard who is called a special species in many ways.

The reason it was called a special species was simple. This is because although fire-type magic was his specialty, he was pathologically interested in magic engineering.

A magician of the fire attribute whose strongest characteristic is destructive power. It was quite unusual to have so much interest in magic engineering, the most delicate of magic sciences.

However, since he had already achieved quite a few meaningful research results, no one would discuss him as a different species to his face. He can only be praised as a rare genius.

The security sensor systems located throughout the imperial building were all products of magical engineering created by Eldrie, the Red Magic Tower lord in front of us.

Schwerche relieved his anger a little. He did this so as not to make a mistake with one of the most talented people in the empire.

“Did you see something with those eyes? Eldrie Magic Tower Lord.”

Schwerce knew it intuitively. Brigitte and Archmage Eldrie suddenly appeared and were about to tell a story about defeating the Black Dragon.

Because Schwerce also knew. Because he was the client who received the report from Ymir, the mercenary king’s disciple. However, he was still in a state of doubt.

Humans.

How can a mortal man catch a dragon? Such a transcendent being.

Eldrie let out a soft laugh.

“I didn’t see it with my own eyes.”

Eldrie took out something of hers.

It was a magic device with an appearance that modern people would immediately think of the name ‘drone’.

“I haven’t given it an official name yet, but… I would say it’s a magic scout. It’s a magic engineering device that can capture images of the ground while gliding in the sky. It eats up a huge amount of magic stones.”

“Ooooot!!”

“Ohhh!! Such a great invention…! If you infiltrate the enemy’s camp for war purposes, it will also be possible to explore the enemy’s camp! After all, you are the Eldrie Magic Tower Lord!”

“Yes, everyone. I’ll let you touch it after I’m done with it now.”

Ignoring her two nobles who were also her own ardent fans, Eldrie placed the magic scout in front of her 1st Prince His Majesty.

And Eldrie, standing next to her, pressed several of her buttons in succession.

Then, a square window appeared on top of the Magic Scout.

“I didn’t dare to think about operating this magic scouter into the capital. So I only operated this object near Sepiton, where I live. But then something strange appeared in the sky.”

A scene was playing inside the square window.

No one was surprised by the black and white video itself. Because magic video tools were already famous among nobles.

The screen was black and white. There wasn’t even a sound, but everyone was silent.

The eyes of all eighteen nobles gathered were filled with astonishment.

Even in black and white. Even if no sound was heard, no one knew who the person who appeared on the black screen was.

“…Dragon!!”

Black and white video. And the picture quality is full of noise and can never be called good. Still, no one looked down on the dragon. This is because the sense of intimidation was felt even in this poor video.

Ferocious yet sublime eyes.

The dragon’s mouth looks ugly yet beautiful.

The black dragon, which looks huge at 100m, exudes such majesty that it makes your whole body tingle.

The silver armor of the knights has jet-black scales that are incomparably hard.

“Well, it deserves to be called the most perfect being in the world…”

The nobles nodded without realizing it at the words of Count Venocetian, the owner of the magic train .

Even when I observed it from a distance, I could feel its intimidation.

There were only two people who were not surprised by the dragon’s majesty. Eldriewa, the owner of the Magic Scouts. That Eldrie was First Princess Brigitte, who showed the video in advance.

The screen has been zoomed to its maximum extent.

Unlike people who are far away. A human was facing the black dragon with both feet on the ground.

“Isn’t it going to collapse? Surely, along with the dragon fear, a tremendous sense of intimidation will weigh down on the body.”

These were the words of Viscount Camart, who had achieved the advanced level of Sword Expert. At those words, Sword Master Michael, the direct guard next to Princess Brigitte, swallowed his saliva.

It was just as Count Camart said.

A feeling of fear and intimidation that cannot be explained in words will take over your body. That man, that Yuma, was overcoming it.

Put both feet on the ground.

The screen moved back again. And─

“Hey, that’s it!”

“Dragon Breath!!”

Something condensed from the black dragon’s mouth.

The fierce, burning heat that can be felt even in black and white video.

The noise that distorted the screen as if it were tearing seemed to prove its ferocity.

The screen temporarily turned white.

“Hey!”

And when he came back soon, everyone could see the image of a vicious dragon’s breath slamming into the ground.

And the image of a man with both feet on the ground swinging a sword.

From noble mtl dot com

The jaws of those who were both nobles and swordsmen dropped open.

At this location, all the nobles’ eyes focused on Michael, the most advanced swordsman.

“…I can’t say for sure, but while blocking the breath–I added my own slash, and it seems like I counterattacked with the breath fired by that black dragon. I can’t explain it other than that. Dragon Breath. Not only did he overcome it, but he also had the utmost sword power to grab it and push it towards the enemy…!!”

The next scene was even more terrifying.

The black dragon that was hit directly by that sword disappeared without a trace. Without leaving behind any bones or skin.

That’s how the video ended.

The Red Magic Tower lord, Eldrie, looked at the nobles and the first prince.

“He killed the dragon alone. Are you able to embrace someone like this? Are you able to handle offending someone like this, 1st Prince?”

When the 18 nobles, overcome by the thrill, sit in their respective chairs and continue the thrill.

Jeobbuk─

The sound of footsteps echoed on the ground.

The nobles’ gaze moved in the direction of the sound of footsteps.

A man with dark gray hair was slowly coming up from outside the open door.

Deacon Roian, who was present as the head chamberlain of the First Princess’s palace and Brigitte’s servant, opened his mouth.

It was because I needed an introduction for that guy.

“He is the one who saved the city of Akan from evil by defeating the Sentai Ten Seats, the Sword God Kronos and the drug dealer Belek.”

Jeobbuk─

The man took one more step.

“A being who defeated the Black Dragon and saved the County of Roosevelt.”

Jeobbuk─

The man stepped into the conference room.

Low blue eyes looked directly at the nobles and the two imperial families.

“It’s Yuma.”
