The Imperial City of Julianne.

In front of the Imperial Palace, which has experienced several wars, two heavily armed soldiers are standing in front of the drawbridge, on routine duty.

One of them shifted his position slightly, and the plate armor creaked harshly.

In the hot summer, it feels uncomfortable to be stuffed in a tin can.

"Hmm, if you hold on a little longer, you can change shifts......"

Because of the helmet, his voice sounded like an urn.

"I knew that the guards worked so hard, and I would rather go to the winch room to work."

"Stop complaining, do you know how many people died in the last war? Even the Imperial City was in the midst of civil strife...... You're lucky that you'll be able to catch up in peacetime. Probably because he couldn't get used to the other party's chattering and complaining, the tin jar next to him also said out loud.

Today's air seems to be exceptionally hot, even the trees are not chirping, there is not even a figure on the street, and the entire Imperial City Avenue even gives people a lifeless feeling.

The guards forced themselves to spend the unbearable time by shifting their thoughts from the sweltering silence to the cold ales and large plates of roast meat after work.

After a while, however, one of the guards suddenly shuddered, and came back to his senses.

At the end of his line of sight, a blonde girl in a magic robe that looked very heavy was slowly pacing towards it.

"Who are you?" He clenched the spear in his hand a little nervously, and asked busily when the other party was still some distance away.

He's not the kind of ruffian who can't tell the difference between priorities and knows what it means to be a magician. If you wait for the other person to get closer. Maybe you're going to be targeted.

At the same time, he shook his companion who had experienced the last orc invasion - the guy didn't seem to react from the beginning.

As a result, he heard the sound of gasping air from beside him.

"Your Royal Highness, Eldest Princess?!"

The eldest princess? Didn't you say that Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess of the empire, had died?

He turned his head to look at his seniors in some surprise.

"You've mistaken someone, I'm a professor of the history of magic at Adric Academy."

The blonde girl smiled and said to the guard who recognized her, "Could you please tell me about the castle, do you say I'm coming?" ”

"When, of course that's fine." Although he was wearing a helmet and knew that the girl could not see his expression, he straightened his back, hammered his chest with a solemn expression, and then turned and walked towards the city.

Unlike those rookies, who had participated in the first two wars, he had long learned from his predecessors and some high-level officials that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of the empire had carried the black cauldron of the previous war. Arrested in the Cube prison in Hohenheim. Later, he was rescued by the dean of Edric, and in order not to cause additional trouble to the empire, he also worked as a professor for the students in that pure land outside the world......

Although most of the content has been distorted by word of mouth: for example, in the story, Sivi simply implements the principle of Crazy Coolboy, and in some places it has been artistically processed to resemble a myth...... However, there is still a glimpse of the truth.

Therefore, the soldiers of their generation admired this eldest princess who sacrificed for the empire very much.

Soon Evangeline's permission to enter was issued. Cross the long moat. She entered the strange and familiar palace.

After a long time with some nobles who came to hear the wind. With a smile on her face, she went to the Empress's study.

It used to be the place where she had been the most, and almost no one but her mother would have the right to come in.

"Mother."

Sure enough, Julianne's current empress was sitting quietly inside. It seems to be waiting for the arrival of his own daughter.

"Thank you, Evan."

The Empress looked a little older than ever, and her hair was a little gray.

"What happened to what I asked you to do?"

"Blatant gangs are forbidden in the academy." Evangeline stood at her desk and replied in a coherent manner, "However, many students have agreed to come to serve the Empire after graduation. ”

"Graduation? How long would it take. Even if it's a saint. Doragon's crash course, which is already remarkable enough to be able to train a qualified beginner mage in six years! The Empress frowned and disagreed, but she coughed as soon as she finished speaking.

"Mother, are you alright?"

Evangeline asked with some concern.

"It's fine, it's just a little problem." Her Majesty wiped the corners of her mouth before continuing: "Anyway, you should also know that now we are in a very awkward position, and if we can't pull up a team with sufficient combat power, we will probably suffer a big loss in the King's Council. ”

"You can rest assured...... Adrick's teaching model is only a three-year course. ”

Evanterine tried to reassure. But unfortunately it is not of much use.

"Let's not talk about what kind of students you can teach in three years, the problem is that we can't wait for three years now......"

The Empress sighed: "You also know that your unsuccessful brother has no talent for political affairs at all, and you have been gone for nearly a year, but he has not even been able to shoulder the responsibility of your past one-third so far. ”

If it weren't for that incident, it would have been almost certain that Evanterine would take over as the next Empress of Iullian.

Her Majesty's children are only five in total, the deceased eldest son Edson, the eldest princess Evangeline, the second son Willix, and the illegitimate daughter Theo.

Hydson was a complete chivalryman, sneaking out of the Imperial City before he became an adult, taking his 'mount' and wearing 'knight's armor' to try to cross the Eastern Plains like the story in the novel.

As a result, he was knocked into a prince pie by a frightened mute boar (crusade level 2) not far from the Imperial City, and was found by several well-meaning farmers and sent back to the Imperial City......

may have witnessed the death of his brother, Willix's personality is more cowardly, and his mind is relatively simple, and now it is good that the empress is pressing, and when the empress steps down, this thing is estimated to be played by those ministers who have eyes and eyes without knowing it.

Tio was an accident, and the mere exposure of the zài was enough to have an impact on the empress's prestige, not to mention what it had to do with inheritance......

Evangeline, who was originally the most suitable, had that kind of thing happen again, and even the empress had to look up to the sky and sigh.

"Actually, there's a relatively simple solution." The Empress moved her gaze from Evangeline's face to her hand, and after playing with her gemstone ring for a while, she said with a slight smile, "If you have no objection...... Then go and seduce Mr. Edric. If you can really marry him, then all the problems are not a problem now. ”

"Huh? Huh, hey, hey?! (To be continued......)

PS: My cousin, who has been playing since childhood, is engaged, and her mood is quite complicated......
