On the third day of his arrival in Sitina, the Emperor summoned Haruka into the main hall again.

"Get up, Black Sword Hime. The emperor sat on the throne and looked at Haruka who was saluting below. "Yu summoned you this time, you should understand what it was for, right?"

"I know very well that the image magic that I mobilized before has pushed me to the position of a hero to save the empire, and now it is natural for me to fulfill my duty. ”

"Very well, Yu likes smart people like you. ”

"Since you are going to fight for the Empire, can Your Majesty promise me something?"

"Say, status or wealth, the rest can satisfy you. ”

"You've given me these things, and I only ask to let my friends go with me. ”

"Friends... And that Yartinian knight you took from prison?"

"That's right, including her. ”

"Yes, Yu promises you. ”

"Also, I need Lord Bislizi, the Archmage. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work. The second prince, Zorn, who was standing on the side of the throne, refused, "Lord Bislici needs to stay in Sitina as an important force to garrison the imperial capital. ”

"Her strength is also necessary for the attacking forces, and now is not the time to preserve her strength, and if she doesn't make a desperate bet, I'm afraid that the hope of winning in the end will be dashed. ”

"Do you mean to abandon the guards of the imperial capital?" said Zorn, with a look of displeasure.

"It's come to this point, if the counterattacking forces also fail, how long will the imperial capital be able to resist the demon army?"

"You... ”

"That's right!" a smile appeared on the emperor's face, "Bislizi will also be handed over to you, and the guards of the imperial capital will be handed over to the second prince, Zorn." ”

"Your Majesty, this... Zorn seemed reluctant to budge.

"It doesn't matter, Yu believes that even without Bislizi, you are strong enough to defend this place. ”

"Understood, I won't let you down. ”

"Then after talking about your conditions, I have to talk about my requirements. The Emperor glanced at the eldest prince Jeton beside him. "On this expedition, the eldest prince Jeton will also walk with you, as Yu's eldest son and the future successor of the empire, Yu hopes that he can also contribute. ”

Jeton stepped down the steps of the throne and came to Haruka's side, "I will definitely live up to your high expectations and bring victory to the empire together with the Black Sword Hime." He saluted respectfully to the Emperor on the throne.

"I see, I'll go on the expedition with the Great Prince. Haruka had no objection to this request.

"All the forces of the empire have been assembled, so you can leave early tomorrow morning. ”

"Yes ... ”

When leaving the palace, the third prince, Hernan, waited for Haruka by Haruka's carriage.

"Isn't this His Royal Highness the Third Prince, are you waiting for me here?" said Haruka.

"Don't call me so outside, just call me Hernan, I haven't seen you call me that in the academy. ”

"Well, I'm sorry, because I've been running around the palace for the past two days, so it feels weird not to use honorifics. ”

"Hehe, you're such an interesting guy. He smiled and shook his head, "Tomorrow you and your eldest brother will go on an expedition, I am obviously also a prince, but I can't help at all, it seems that my father doesn't take me seriously." ”

"How could it be, he probably estimated that you were the youngest of the three princes, so he was reluctant to let you go to the battlefield, right?"

"Thank you for your comfort, I still know very well in my heart that without the strong leadership ability of the eldest brother and the physique of the second brother Wu Yong, after all, he is just a burden in the eyes of my father. ”

"Why do you look down on yourself so much, everyone has what they are good at and what they are not good at, there is no need to use other people's strengths to belittle yourself, right?"

"You're right, I'm really rude, I just wanted to wish you a triumphant return, but it became me to complain to you unilaterally. ”

"Hehe, don't worry, I will defeat the demons and return triumphantly, and you have to work hard. ”

"Yes, okay. ”

After watching Haruka's carriage leave, Hernan suddenly muttered, "When you come back, everything will be different." ”

After returning to her manor, Natalie and the others had been waiting in the hall for a long time, and when Haruka entered the door, Seid was the first to run up.

"What do you say, did the Emperor agree to your request?"

"Yes, all of you will go with me. Haruka replied.

"Great!" said Said, clenching his fists in delight.

"It's clear that you're going to the battlefield next, and you're still so happy... Hewig looked at him puzzled.

"Hey, we've all been through so many adventures together, we're kind of a team, of course we have to go together. ”

"That Haruka, did the Emperor say anything about me?" asked Hitira uneasily, after all, she was from Artinia.

"He also agreed that you would go with us, and now that the two countries are in a state of truce, he will not be too embarrassed by you. ”

"Then I'm relieved. ”

"Is the Headmaster's business settled?" asked Natalie.

"Well, that was also solved, although the second prince didn't agree at first, but in the end he couldn't resist the emperor. ”

"Then all the conditions have been met. Natalie walked out into the crowd......
