78 – Journey to the West

The Grand Duchess of Shrelitz. Yes, he definitely said ‘The Grand Duchess’.

A single faction at the highest level that only three exist in the Empire.

Kyle hurriedly looked at the sentence Elgar had spoken.

“….”

There is no way you can know anything just by looking at it. Of course, this is the first sentence you see.

In the first place, other than Littorio, he had no interest in other grand dukes.

Then what did you read when you said you were reading? Didn’t you look around the history?

Of course, it was Kyle who chose only the articles about how to manage the physical strength of the knights.

Suk-.

In the meantime, those who lightly bowed to Elgar turn their attention back to Kyle.

“Kyle John Nassen. Please come with us. There, ‘they’….”

“No, wait a minute. Wait.”

Elgar gets in the way between Kyle and the men.

If they knew that the opponent was a grand duke, the other nobles would have saved themselves unconditionally.

But Elgar is also the daughter of Littorio, one of the three grand dukes.

Even they aren’t simply members of the grand duke’s family like they are, they are direct descendants of them.

As expected, the grand duke’s family is dealing with the grand duke’s family? I ask in a stern voice.

“You guys just said people from Schrelitz.”

“Yes.”

“At the academy, no one, except the imperial family, asks students….”

“We belong to the Grand Duchess of Shrelitz, but we are entrusted with the Imperial Order.”

No matter how much Littorio, the imperial family is higher than that.

Even if you are a grand duke, you must bow your head in front of the emperor’s name.

“Hwangmyeong… What?”

“Yes, Lady Elgar.”

“Ah, why did His Majesty the Emperor tell you….”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t explain that part. Please step back.”

I wondered how he would react indifferently in front of another grand duke’s direct line.

The balance of power is so uneven that they try not to get caught.

It was possible because there was an absolutely inviolable back ship called Hwangmyeong.

Maybe that’s why, even to Littorio’s daughter, Elgar, she seems insignificant.

However, the curious thing was that Kyle could not be more polite than that, showing an extremely careful and polite appearance.

“I’ll tell you more as I go, Kyle John Nassen.”

“No, you can tell me the details anyway.”

“Sorry. In fact, we also listened to them shut up….”

“They?”

“Well, if you go with me, you will find out.”

While they and Kyle are talking, Elgar’s hair is spinning! Back like crazy

Obviously, they are the people of the Grand Duchy of Shrelitz, most likely knights.

However, they say that they came to the imperial family, not the grand duke’s business.

No matter how grand duchess you are, you cannot dare to mention the imperial family as crazy.

In that case, it must be certain that they really entered the academy after receiving the emperor.

The important part is why the Grand Duchess of ‘Shrelitz’, and not others, carries out the imperial mandate.

‘Originally, the Ministry of the Royal Household, or at least the Special Affairs Ministry, would have to step in.’

In that short time, all sorts of hypotheses popped into Elgar’s head.

And at some point, Elgar remembered what kind of place the Grand Duchy of Shrelitz was and found the answer.

‘No way?’

The people of Shrelitz were about to take Kyle and go somewhere.

Before that, Elgar hurriedly parted her lips and asked a question.

“Are you going west?”

“… ?!”

At Elgar’s words, the eyes of the Shurelitz people were perplexed.

I didn’t give any explanation, but that lady of Littorio recognized it at once.

That’s just a few minutes, really in a fleeting moment.

“It looks right.”

“Ah….”

“Elgar? What do you mean? Is it west? Suddenly what….”

Haa, Elgar sighed and closed her eyes.

She was just in case, but as expected, her own expectations were right.

The reason why the Grand Duchess of Shrelitz was serving the emperor was the beginning.

The academy is as peaceful as before, but there was definitely a big incident recently.

A surprise attack by unidentified intruders openly targeting the academy and people.

Because she was the daughter of Littorio, Elgar was able to quickly hear the news related to the surprise attack.

None other than that, the union of the Western Kingdoms made a fatal mistake.

It seems that he wanted to talk about causing great damage to various parts of the empire.

If you come, of course we will lose, but you guys should be prepared too.

The problem is that it was a catastrophic failure and consequently only fueled the anger of the Empire.

‘The family of Grand Duchess Shrelitz is a symbol of nothingness, always participating in a war on a national scale. A place where activities have been extremely restrained, silent again and again during the recent period of peace. The fact that such a grand duke suddenly received the emperor’s name….’

War, yes. A war, and a very large one, was imminent.

The alliance has already lost its justification, while the empire has gained its justification.

In this situation, the emperor wouldn’t turn down a great opportunity.

It was not a simple war of conquest, but a battle of revenge to judge the atrocities of those who went beyond the limit.

It has been over 30 years since the Empire laid down its sword.

A few areas in the south, a union of kingdoms in the west, and nomadic tribes in the east are all that’s left.

So now, instead of a sword, he focused on managing the empire and increasing his ship with a pen.

However, it only endured because there was no justification for continuing the war and lack of solidarity.

If the opponent makes a justification first, there is no reason for the Empire not to seize the sword again.

‘If you make that assumption, everything fits. The question is, why Kyle? Why?’

No matter how much I think about it, there is no matching part about that part.

If you want to go to war, Shurelitz can step in, and the Imperial Legion will step in.

Why are you taking Kyle, the son of Baron John Nassen, who has absolutely nothing to do with the Empire?

“Elgar-sama! Please explain! Why am I suddenly going west!”

I don’t know, Kyle. Until then, it is completely unpredictable.

Nearly 30 years have passed since Jon Nassen entered the Empire.

Did the Empire or the Imperial Family ever ask for anything from them?

No. Not a single thing. No matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t exist.

If there were, books and documents would have been everywhere.

“… Kyle.”

“Yes, Miss Elga.”

“Have a good trip.”

I’m sorry, Kyle. All I can say right now is this.

I’m going to send a letter to my parents’ house right away and ask them what the hell is going on.

With that thought, Elgar first turned around and hurriedly headed for his room.

*

‘Did you flip it over?’

Why the hell is he going west? Why the hell!

No matter how embarrassing it is, shouldn’t we at least tell the reason?

I didn’t come to the academy to be dragged away like this every time. I’m here to have fun

Even if I tried to run amok, I was enduring it because I was only losing myself, but I couldn’t help but feel annoyed at this.

‘I think I’m really going to overturn everything about the emperor.’

A moment when I try to ignore the worries that others would be astonished if they found out.

Kyle saw two all-too-familiar faces at the gates of her academy.

‘… Brother? Even my sister?’

Lear and Leah, who headed to the imperial castle just yesterday.

It seems that there was some business with the emperor.

However, there must be a reason why it reappeared after just one day….

“Come on, Kyle.”

“Yes?”

“Get on! I have a place to go!”

“Sister? That, you need to know where you are going….”

“Can you give me a ride with my sister in her arms?”

“I will ride on my feet.”

I have eyes to see, but I don’t want to give up my male pride.

How embarrassing it would be to have a grown-up young man carried by a slender woman.

Of course, the reality is that she is the main character of the academy anti-corruption incident, but her appearance is also important in its own way.

Taking a sneak peek at the wagon, Kyle immediately noticed that she was not a wagon.

A wagon made for long-distance travel. It even has the seal of the imperial family.

While thinking what the situation was, Kyle suddenly remembered Elgar’s words from earlier.

“Me, brother. Perhaps… Are you going west?”

“Yes.”

Lear’s answer was so simple that Kyle lost her words to stop her.

An academy student who has a lecture tomorrow right now, suddenly goes west?

Didn’t she even come in her bare body without any preparation?

She hasn’t brought a change of clothes, so where is she going all of a sudden?!

“Don’t worry. Your luggage was prepared in advance by your sister.”

“No, brother. Jim… It’s important, but I’m a student at that academy. This unauthorized departure….”

“Your attendance will be guaranteed by His Majesty the Emperor.”

Although attendance is one of the most important points in determining the score.

I never expected even in my dreams that the emperor would be mentioned there.

Thanks uh… Leia smiled at Kyle, who was sighing, and said.

“I told you yesterday. I have something to see. I am going to finish that.”

“Wasn’t meeting the emperor at the imperial palace the end, sister?”

“I asked for forgiveness from His Majesty the Emperor. We’ll come out, so don’t get swept away.”

After hearing that far, Kyle finally realized why these two storms had come all the way to the Empire.

Meeting with the emperor was only a matter of etiquette. They had different things to do.

And in fact, the emperor’s name was just one of the justifications put forward on the outside.

It was not the emperor’s order or will that brought him out, but his older brother and older sister.

“… By any chance, are you going there yourself for that matter?”

“You sound obvious.”

“I am going on behalf of my entire family. My brother, me, and Kyle, you too.”

A little staggering, albeit absurd.

Thinking about it again, it was well worth it, Kyle thought.

Honestly, thinking about it made me angry again.

“Then what are you going to do now, bro?”

“You are asking the obvious.”

“I should go and tell them not to do it. You should never do something like that.”

“That would be nice, but what if you don’t listen?”

“I will listen.”

Lear spoke again in a low voice that gave you goosebumps.

“I will listen. Our words.”

hahahaha, you will have no choice but to listen.

This will be a physical conversation, not a regular conversation.
