Absolutely Do Not Touch Eldmia Egga - Chapter 483
The Eshunua Empire has served Ete of Light and supported many warriors over the centuries.
Aside from the fact that scholars are still debating whether the empire served Ete first or whether the hero was summoned to the empire first, and thanks to the support of the empire, the existence of a hero is able to master the demon king based on stable learning. It is an undeniable historical fact.
Before the advent of the empire, the warriors often ended their records with miserable failures.
Of course, the empire did not just give like a generous tree. Not only did they monopolize the military power of warriors, but they were also able to monopolize the knowledge they possessed. In fact, there were some who lived a life far from politics, but there were more who lived fulfilling their status and responsibility as warriors until the day they died.
Because he was with most of the warriors like that, in fact, the empire could be said to be the group that had the most information and samples on the existence of the hero on the continent.
“What kind of nonsense is this?”
Despite that, there were people who treated the report about two heroes from the frontlines of the Kingdom of Ethiel as a bad joke. It was Margrave Hillburden, who devoted his life as a pillar in charge of the western border of the empire.
Corrected even at the age of over seventy, he was the person in charge of the borders of the western part of the empire. As soon as he heard the story, he accidentally threw out a word without even realizing it, but it was never a good choice due to various complex factors.
The first reason was that the report was obviously a hot item delivered by express in the name of the imperial family.
“That’s a very interesting statement.”
The second reason was that this meeting was held because a specific person who had already read the report issued a summons directly.
“To think that he gathered the pillars of the empire with the imperial order and put them in this position just because of idle talk.”
The third reason was that there was no possibility that the person who issued the call-up order would move people carelessly because of nonsense.
“Well, maybe Yeo’s personal feelings went into it when she looked at the report. It was a report written and uploaded by none other than Yeo’s younger brother from the front line.”
After all, it was the Iron-Blooded Princess who ordered the convocation.
“What do you guys think?”
In a place filled with solemn old people and middle-aged people, a particularly young and weak voice resounded, but no one thought this situation was funny like the owner of the voice said.
It’s not that it’s not fun to gather them busy with stories without a choice, but the fun is gone because of the ignorant bullshit of the person in charge who seems to have lost his brain watching the western kingdoms fight and fight every day.
Of course, they truly deserved to be called the pillars of the Empire.
Even if only one person went out of the castle right now, they were people with such a great responsibility and position that a unit had to move to escort him, and they actually had that much ability and discretion.
But at the same time, he was just a nobleman who ‘just survived’ the iron-blooded princess’ massive purge.
“Tell me. Then I’d like to hear how the empire responds to that nonsense.”
The chair she was sitting in felt too big because of her relatively small body, but no one could laugh at her sitting there with her legs crossed and her chin resting. Rather, the complexion of the old man who had made mistakes in her actions began to turn pale.
“Poetry, mistakes…”
“Of course, mistakes.”
he’s not stupid Rather, it was correct to see that it was complacent. The event that became the decisive factor for the Iron-Blood Princess to be called ‘Iron-Blood’ was shocking but short-lived, and in fact, Hilburden, who had always been loyal to the imperial family, lacked a sense of crisis because she never had to face her hostility.
However, as soon as he met the princess’s indifferent gaze, which showed neither a hint of criticism nor a hint of anger, the Marquis of Hilburden understood the situation with his heart sinking. At the same time, he remembered how he had lived like a king in the name of managing the western border and had forgotten this cool feeling.
The sense that there is someone above the head who has the opportunity, the right, and the power to strike one’s own throat.
“Leisure, no one else, called you.”
Personal feelings do not enter into the Iron-Blooded Princess’ judgment. That’s why it’s more scary.
She judges value with an eye that ordinary people cannot catch up with, and grasps the person’s limitations more accurately than the person concerned. Still, since he hadn’t wasted his years as a person of power, the old man could clearly guess how the Iron-Blooded Princess judged him at this moment.
A person who lacks or shows signs of lacking the ability to deal with sudden changes in circumstances due to being complacent in power.
A person unsuited to the position of handling the borders of the empire.
“In order not to waste the time of the pillars of the empire, we gathered here after preparing in advance by splitting up even our precious time. This is the ‘major premise’. Where is the room for ‘nonsense’ to intervene?”
Even after reaching that conclusion, the old man was unable to say anything, like a condemned prisoner waiting for a death sentence. Rather, it seemed that a greater punishment would be waiting for me if I said the wrong thing here, so I just lowered my gaze.
The scene of a young girl barely under twenty unilaterally criticizing an old man who has lived four times her life, roamed the battlefield, made a contribution, and won a political battle… If it were a normal kingdom, it would have been enough to incur opposition from nobles. It was an empire, so it was very natural.
“Marquis of Hilburden.”
“Yes, yes. Your Highness.”
“Considering the peculiarity of the situation, I will stick to the Buddhist question this time.”
The Marquis of Hilburden unwittingly kicked off his chair and nearly hit his head. But, as if Esmuye had already anticipated his behavior, he raised his hand to stop moving and continued.
“However, since two heroes have appeared, no one knows what changes are taking place in the situation on the continent. This time, I happened to hear about you first, but the day may come when you receive such a report first. When that day comes, you Remembering this day should never be taken lightly.”
Everyone gathered here noticed. That the Margrave of Hilburden only opened the door, and in the end, he was speaking to everyone here. The Margrave of Hilburden noticed that as well, so he got up from his seat and replied politely.
“I will keep this in mind, Your Highness.”
“Okay. Let’s start the meeting now.”
Perhaps because it raised the tension in one room to the highest level, a very heated discussion continued after that. Due to the kind of performance they just showed, they accurately grasped what the princess wanted, and came up with the most ideal form of opinion to reorganize and recheck the empire’s proud information network and nationwide patrol routes.
What followed was the Empire’s course of action regarding the second champion. Originally, when dealing with a person in a position out of reach of the empire as an agenda, opinions based on checks were bound to come out, but this time it was different.
Because none of the people gathered here didn’t know the name Eldmia Ega.
Aside from all other incidents, he was already a hero of the Empire by simply saving the Iron-Blooded Princess during the attack on the academy gate, which was a disgrace to the Empire.
“I think it’s right to treat him like the hero Siegfried and provide active support.”
Despite a rough start, the Marquis of Hilburden spoke confidently. It was possible because I knew very well that it would be counterproductive to look at it later because it said it would be attached to it.
In fact, Esmuer proved that the old aristocrat’s judgment was correct by accepting his argument without prejudice.
“The front line assumes that he is a hero of the Demonic Church, and in fact, a lot of evidence has been collected to support that claim?”
“There is evidence that he destroyed the demon king’s conspiracy several times and helped the human race.”
Right now, if you look at the large-scale incidents in Etisel, there are not one or two. There was no one who did not nod his head to the Marquis of Hilburden’s argument, as all the relevant information was written in the report handed to each of them.
“Considering the case in which a great general from the enemy country will side with us, we should be conscious of the anxiety and dissatisfaction of the people, but thanks to the achievements he has accumulated so far, even that worry is meaningless. Rather than distrusting the human warriors of the religion, I think they will recognize that the race is not important in punishing the Demon King’s army who have completely gone down the wrong path.”
“…So, even if the imperial family applies, there are few voices of shame?”
In response to Esmuer’s questioning while gently stroking his cheek, another man slowly raised his hand this time.
The man, who was more often called the illusionist than his own name, wore his robe deeply and did not even show his face, but no one said anything about it because he had already received permission from the imperial family. He proceeded only after carefully seeking the consent of the Margrave of Hilburden and Esmue.
“It’s not a small amount, it’ll be none. The actions Sir Ega took when he visited the Empire are still talked about among the people and academy cadets, including his achievements in the Western Lands. So far, they haven’t even paid attention to Ethiel. Those who did not know him are curious about his achievements and are interested in the story of the kingdom.”
The people of the Empire are already ready to be kind to him. As he finished his speech on behalf of the numerous royal magicians, Esmuer, who seemed to be contemplating for a long time in the quiet meeting room, asked a question indifferently.
“As mentioned in the last agenda, even if he receives our favor, he is unlikely to actively step out for the empire or become a naturalized person.
He is obviously from a different country, but he is too friendly.
If you are simply a wandering adventurer, you will be remembered as a story of beauty and heroism.
“I don’t think he’s anything to worry about either. In addition to his heroics, he’s done a lot of eccentric things inside Ethiel, so even if a few stories like that are known, the people won’t mind.”
“Just taking the time to try a little maneuvering is sure to give you a positive vibe.”
Of course, Esmuer, who was already full of thoughts of seeing his grandchildren, didn’t mean it, but the nobles, who had no way of knowing about it, actively refuted her concerns.
At this, Esmuer covered his mouth with his tiny hands and smiled contentedly, pretending to be troubled.
