Chapter 5 The Banner of the Empire
In the splendid meeting, only the emperor Bloom and the eldest prince Jeton were left.
"Father, are you sure you want to give this woman the command of the empire's most powerful fleet?" it seems that Jeton still has a lot of distrust of Haruka.
"You don't need to mention what Yu has already decided. ”
"However, in the previous battle on the plains of Narmisso, we had lost a large part of the country, and now we had barely exhausted the enemy's vanguard at the expense of the defenders and the people of the border. The situation in the empire is already precarious. ”
"Of course Yu knows that as the most powerful country in the East Road, if we can't resist the demons, then the human race really has no chance of winning, so Yu Cai made a desperate bet and put all his chips on this girl. ”
"But is she really worth the bet ... ”
"Are you questioning Yu's vision?"
"No, father, I didn't mean that... ”
"The legendary Sword of the Brave chose the princess of Altinia as the new hero, whether the legend is true, people are now turning their attention to the kingdom of Artinia, hoping that the princess can lead mankind out of the predicament, this is a major blow to the people of the empire, how can the hope of mankind be pinched in the hands of the princess of another country. ”
"What do you mean ... ”
"In any case, the empire also needs a savior-like figure, this summons, I can clearly feel that this girl named Haruka is even more powerful, and her strength is completely above humans, and the moment I look at her, my soul trembles. ”
"She's such a powerful being?!"
"In any case, make her useful to the Empire, and make her a banner of the Empire. ”
"I see. ”
"Of the three princes, you are the eldest, and the most calm and wise, I hope that you will follow Haruka to the battlefield and bring the hope of triumph to the Empire. ”
"Yes. Jetton got down on one knee and accepted the Emperor's orders.
Due to the previous battle, the Night Stalker also suffered multiple damage, and after being transported to the palace, the battleship headed to the Empire's largest military satellite city, which has the most advanced shipyard in the entire continent, where all ships can be repaired. Natalie and her party were transported by carriage to a luxurious manor on the edge of the main city.
Since Haruka accepted the emperor's grant and became a duke, this manor was the first reward after the canonization. Natalie walked into the manor with Seid, Hywig and Elaine, and the manor itself was already equipped with a butler and maid, as well as dozens of servants, and naturally welcomed them respectfully.
"It's really a luxurious manor, Haruka has really become a great nobleman of the empire this time. Said couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the palatial building.
"That has nothing to do with you, right?" Hywig tapped Seid's head with his hand, "Moreover, now is a critical moment when the demon army is overpowering, and the emperor has given such a high status, so naturally he wants her to go to the front line to fight the demons for the empire, which is not a good thing, right?"
"Hywig is right, Haruka accepted the emperor's award, which is equivalent to agreeing to work for the empire, which is not a good thing. Natalie chimed in.
"Well, there seems to be some truth to what you're saying. Seid shook his head stupidly, while Elaine was silent. "At least we can be safely under Haruka's shelter for the time being. ”
"That's right, Sitina is arguably one of the safest places on the continent, and it's safest for you to stay here. Natalie walked into the manor, spacious and decorated with all sorts of luxurious crafts.
"Wait, are you going to go to the battlefield with Haruka?" asked Said, who was following behind, anxiously.
"Yes, it was also my idea to let her defect to the Empire, and I naturally wanted to stay by her side all the time. ”
"Hey?!But you've seen the battle with the demons, and it's not an exaggeration to describe it as hell, aren't you afraid?"
"How is it possible, from the moment my father died, I was no longer afraid of anything. ”
“。。。。。。 Natalie's gaze was suddenly cold as water, which made Seid speechless for a moment.
"I'll follow Haruka too. Hywig broke the silence between the two.
"You're going too?"
"That's right, after all, I'm an elf, and the human realm is not very kind to me, so I choose to go with my friends. ”
"Are you all serious? ”
"Of course. Hywig and Natalie replied in unison.
"And what about Elalian-senpai?" Said, holding on to the last shred of hope, turned his gaze to her.
"I will also follow Yao, after all, I am a half-demon, and only Haruka's side is the safest. ”
"Well, you guys won. Seid shook his head helplessly, "I'll go with you too, staying alone will make my conscience uneasy." ”
As soon as Seid's words were finished, a carriage quickly drove into the manor and stopped at the front door of the building. The door of the carriage was kicked open hard, and Haruka kicked off the high heels on his feet and jumped from them barefoot.
"Why are you lying to me!! Haruka ignored the others, but walked straight up to Natalie and grabbed her hand roughly......
