“Then, Your Majesty. I’ll let the small man go away.”

“Yes, it was a more beneficial time for Jim than I thought. Let’s wait for the day we meet again later.”

After the meeting with the emperor, Bahamut went outside.

“master.”

“Are you okay? What if there was a problem…”

“No, nothing like that happened. It’s over, so don’t worry.”

After smiling lightly at Ashbel and Ophelia, who expressed concern, Bahamut and his companions started walking towards the exit.

Compared to when I came here, my steps were noticeably lighter.

Literally, in this situation where things are going exactly as he planned, Bahamut had to struggle a little to suppress the smile that bloomed on his lips.

‘Certainly, if you sell medicine based on the facts, you won’t be able to buy it.’

The source of the so-called Emperor’s loan for this work was, of course, coming from Bahamut’s Beden Merchant.

In addition, the top of Uranus also finished talking in advance that it would offer a fairly large stake.

Obviously, a huge amount of money would be pouring in more than Hungary, but from Bahamut’s point of view, it was not a waste at all.

In fact, this transaction was the biggest reason he had been saving energy and money so far.

‘From that point of view, as expected, my aunt has a really good head. Using the emperor’s power in this way, I can achieve what I want in an instant.’

A rough sketch of this was already in Bahamut’s head based on spoilers.

To unite the power of various countries on the continent based on enormous funds.

But… the reason why the time was drastically shortened in this way was largely thanks to Bertina arranging an interview with the emperor and providing additional ideas immediately after hearing the inside story.

‘With this, the first big hurdle has been passed. The next thing is to respond accordingly after the situation in question broke out..’

Like that, with relief, Bahamut thought about the parts of the things that would follow.

at that time..

“Bahamut-sama!”

“..yes?”

The next moment, Bahamut paused there for a while, expressing his doubts at the voice he heard from behind.

The person standing there was a helmeted knight wearing a black cloak.

It was the same person I saw earlier in Daejeon who was escorting the emperor.

‘If the person escorting the emperor right next to him… Maybe it’s him? Andersen, the strongest swordsman in the Holy Empire…’

A person who came out with the strongest power in the Holy Empire, and a strong person who is ranked in the top five of the world view.

Andersen Gustaf

Just when such a great person was wondering what his business was, the man slowly took off his helmet.

And…

“uh?..”

In the next moment, Bahamut shows a bewildered expression.

Then, the man in front of him greeted him with a happy smile on his lips.

“I will see you in a long time. Do you remember me?”

“you… ..you.. can’t be..”

An unforgettable face.

But at the same time, the face of a person I could never have imagined would be seen here.

In response, Bahamut called out the name he had never forgotten in a trembling voice.

“Ah.. Isaac.. Freeman?”

The main character of this novel, and according to the original story, he should have been sharpening his sword of revenge in the Dragona Empire by now.

Bahamut couldn’t think of anything for a while at the fact that he had met such a person, not anywhere else, but here in the imperial palace of the Holy Empire, and even as a knight guarding Emperor Carol’s side.

*

An inn located outside the imperial palace.

There, Bahamut, who took time again, was feeling quite awkward while listening to the story of the original protagonist in front of his eyes.

“That… so… After that incident, I wandered from place to place and came across the emperor by chance.. Is that so?”

“Yes, it is. In addition, my colleagues at the time are working together with me as His Majesty’s bodyguards.”

“Ah..hahahaha.. that’s so.. well done..”

“This is all thanks to Bahamut. We were able to come this far thanks to you clearing our name and supporting us. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude once again, Bahamut.”

“hahahaha.. well.. I just did what I had to do.”

Bahamut smiles as brightly as possible while watching Isaac who expresses his gratitude to him innocently.

However… apart from that expression, Bahamut’s mind was as complicated as an 8-lane highway where a multiple collision accident occurred.

‘No no.. so.. Isaac, who should have turned black in the original work, trained in the Dragona Empire, returned to the Sacred Empire, became a vengeful dark hero, and killed everyone. became a body, is this? what is this… Aren’t the changes a bit too drastic?’

As usual, about two years from now

Starting with Isolda and this Bahamut who is out of possession,

Bertina, who was by her side just before, and Linda, who was locked in the basement,

And it was Isaac who killed Ophelia, who was still sitting next to Bahamut, one after another, and finally even aimed at the life of the emperor of the Holy Empire.

To think that he is now a bodyguard protecting the emperor’s life…

No matter how much it prevented the blackening, it could be said that it was a perfectly reversed situation that made me think that I had taken too much medicine.

“I… that. Then I’m asking just in case. That… Andersen Gustav is…”

“Ah, do you know Andersen? If it were him, he would have been standing next to me earlier. He was the one who bestowed His Majesty’s Medal on Bahamut, who was wearing a white cloak.”

“Ah.. that person.”

“Yes, you may have heard the story, but he is the strongest swordsman in the Empire who is escorting His Majesty with me. I am still learning a lot from him. He is the one I respect the most along with Bahamut.”

“Ugh.. that… thank you for saying that.”

At the same time as being relieved that the fact that he had saved Isaac in the past had a certain effect, Bahamut was suppressing the feeling that he wanted to say something to this man in his heart.

‘Hey. In the original work of that man named Andersen, you were the person you were determined to kill, right? In the end, the two of you together with Princess Elios cut him off by the head, and then, unlike you, you exploded into a maddening frenzy…’

It is an ironic situation that the enemy of the original work suddenly became a respected mentor.

As an avid reader of the original, there were a lot of parts I wanted to tackle, but while holding back, Bahamut began to work hard to sort out the complicated feelings as much as possible.

‘Well.. Then first of all… it became clear that he was still on the side of the Holy Empire. If this happens, the forces on this side will be a little more solid, but that will make the numbers a little more complicated…’

It was a problem that could be seen as positive if you look at it simply.

One of the strengths of the Dragona Empire, Isaac, who is one of the strongest in the five fingers, has changed.

This meant that she, who had only intermittently intervened while maintaining the posture of a bystander in the original work, could move in earnest this time, which in itself was never viewed as a good thing.

‘Of course, there is no guarantee that this will happen, but… just in case, you have to take care of yourself in that part. It only takes a moment for the tower to be destroyed if you wrongly touch that person’s heart..’

That was the time when Bahamut was determined to pay more attention not to touch her evil.

“But, Bahamut-sama. Who is this young lady?”

“yes? Ah… This is the person in charge of my direct escort. My name is Ophelia Crimson.”

Suddenly, while remembering the fact that Ophelia liked Isaac in the original story, Bahamut secretly looks at her.

However.. at least to some extent.. Contrary to Bahamut’s expectations… her current condition…

‘How can I say.. this feels like a cow looking at a chicken… ‘

Still, it was Bahamut who was able to recognize Ophelia’s emotional state to some extent because he had been living with him for a long time.

And, Ophelia’s feelings in Bahamut’s eyes are obvious. I don’t want to get involved with a man like this, so I hope he gets out of here quickly. to do. It was nothing more and nothing less.

‘… Is it because my personality has changed from the original?

Bahamut feels a little bit bitter like that, but at the same time feels a little relieved.

And as he thought, at this moment Ophelia turned to Isaac, who was showing a light interest in her, and was filled with only the thought of wanting to quickly get rid of this annoying intruder and be alone with her beloved master.
