Regent.
This refers to a position that conducts politics on behalf of the king and takes care of state affairs for some reason.
And in the current Endymion, there was only one person capable of holding the position of regent.
Russell asked Daria as they waited for the regent in the throne room, which was designed with soundproofing in mind.
“But the regent… … “Has something happened to His Majesty the King?”
That’s because, in general, when a regent was established, it was usually because there was a problem with the previous king’s life.
However, as Russell remembers, there was no particular red flag about the health of King Alfonso Ratmos until the time he left the royal capital.
‘If a problem arises, it’s after that… … .’
Although he was not old, he had recently experienced something serious, the betrayal of a close relative.
I couldn’t ignore the possibility that the aftereffects of that incident were that my mind, if not my body, became ill.
Daria shook her head in response to Russell’s question.
“Luckily, youngest. “What you’re worried about hasn’t happened.”
“then… … ?”
“I guess you just need a break.”
After saying that, Daria quickly added.
“But hasn’t he been someone who has been taking care of state affairs for a long time? It wouldn’t be strange if you were a little tired. furthermore… … “It is time for Her Royal Highness to gain experience in running state affairs.”
“okay.”
Daria giggled and gave advice to Russell, who nodded.
“More than that, you, the youngest, are preparing to be scolded.”
It was then.
The voice of the servant guarding the entrance to the throne room echoed from outside.
“Your Majesty the Regent!”
Cough keug keung-!
The door to the throne room opens, and a woman whose appearance does not differ at all from Russell’s expectations appears.
Purple hair, which can be said to be a symbol of the Latmos royal family, and eyes of the same color.
Hecate Latmos.
She was standing right beyond the door.
Even though she became regent, her attire doesn’t seem to have changed much.
The only difference is that instead of a crown, he wears a baton around his waist to prove his authority as regent, and that the way he looks at himself is not so kind.
‘Ugh.’
A shout was immediately fired at Russell, who flinched at that gaze.
“New success!”
Perhaps because it was designed to prevent sound from escaping, a sharp shout resounds inside the throne room.
“Do you have a mind or do you not have a mind? How dare you know where that place is—!”
“It’s not just any other place, it’s an empire, an empire!”
“Just as your country’s feelings towards your country are not good, there is no way you would not know that the empire’s feelings towards your country are also not good!”
From her voice, which continued to push forward as if she would not give him even the slightest chance to protest, what Russell felt was more spirit and pressure than confronting a superhuman.
The royal treasure she always had.
This may be because, as the king ascended to the position of regent, it manifested itself more strongly than before.
“And aren’t you an important figure in our country?”
“If something had gone wrong and this news had reached the ears of the empire, they would have done everything in their power to get rid of you!”
However, this did not mean that Hecate was just pushing Russell.
Even while he was shouting furiously, he continued to sweep Russell’s whole body with his worried gaze.
It seemed like he was checking to see if there were any injuries.
“The crime of going to an enemy country without reporting properly should be dealt with as a crime equivalent to treason or internal interference!”
“However, Shin Seong-gong. “Thank you for the contributions you have made so far!”
You pulled out the baton you were wearing at your waist and aimed it at Russell.
“So, in consideration of that merit, I will give it to you for six months from now. “The public is prohibited from entering the outside world!”
A solemn sentence.
“Unless there are special reasons, the area where you can come and go will be limited to a radius of 500 kilometers centered on the royal capital!”
As she finished sentencing, she asked Russell back:
“If you have any objection to this, say it now.”
Because of the sins committed, even if there were ten mouths, there was nothing to say. Russell bowed his head politely.
“… … doesn’t exist.”
Detention(?), not detention for half a year.
This could be said to be a fairly low-level punishment compared to what Russell did.
‘It’s at the level of covering your eyes and fighting.’
This could never happen if the disciplinary action was officially handed down. Perhaps it was possible to stop at this level because only a few people knew that Russell had been to the Empire.
The solemn and solemn atmosphere ended there, and Hecate clicked her tongue as she put down the baton in her hand.
“I can’t believe you worry so often. “You are truly a bad sire.”
Perhaps because she had completed all the work she had to do as regent, Hecate’s expression and voice as she spoke were considerably softer than before.
Of course, I didn’t forget to add a cold word of warning.
“If you do something like this without telling me one more time, I will break your leg and ban you from going outside, so you know that.”
Daria giggled at the sight of Hecate opening her eyes and spitting out warning words once again.

“You guy, you are so immobile in front of His Majesty the Regent. “I met the owner!”
It seems he really liked the way he scolded Russell on his behalf.
“I’m sorry for causing you both worry.”
Hecate asked, crossing her arms towards Russell, who was apologizing while receiving the same attention from the two women.
“So, why on earth did you go to the empire?”
“that is… … .”
Before he could reply, a voice came from Hecate.
“You… … I know very well that the Raymond family has dragon blood. “Is this also related to that?”
The answer is almost close to the correct answer.
Russell’s face suddenly turned pale.
‘I used Yonginhwa in the battle with Blaine… … I thought you would have noticed that I inherited dragon blood, but-.’
Who would have guessed that the reason why he was traveling around the continent was almost as accurate as the answer.
It was Daria who added the explanation for that part.
“Youngest, I knew well that you had been gathering information about the traces of the dragon for a long time. furthermore… … “In most cases, whenever I visit somewhere, my skills improve rapidly.”
“The growth rate is too fast to be dismissed as simply outstanding talent. “Normally there is only one case like this.”
“So I and His Highness the Regent have come to this conclusion. “You are looking for items related to your family or the dragon, and through that opportunity, your level is rising rapidly.”
It wasn’t completely, but it was an answer that could be said to be about 90% correct.
‘Well, it’s been a few years already. You two aren’t stupid. If that much time has passed, it’s time to notice.’
If I had to point out one thing that was wrong, it was not that it was intertwined with the Raymond family, but with my mother’s side, but whatever.
It didn’t seem necessary to point out that part.
“yes.”
“In the meantime, I still traveled around the territory of my home country or neighboring countries… … “It seems like one of them was in the empire.”
Daria clicked her tongue and at that moment, Russell spoke as if something had occurred to him.
“Now that I think about it, when I visited the empire this time, something strange happened.”
“If it’s something strange… … ?”
Although he is currently unable to look outside due to the princes’ struggle for the throne, the empire has been Endymion’s long-time enemy.
I needed to know as much as possible about what was happening within that empire.
“actually… … .”
Russell began to explain carefully.
Although it was on the outskirts, one of the empire’s territories had been completely turned into undead.
And from there to what happened when Death Knight and Doom Knight were being produced.
As Russell’s story continues, the two people’s faces begin to become more serious.
When the story was finally over, Daria murmured in a deep voice.
“For some reason, I heard that the spies planted in the empire often lose contact… … .”
Spies, in fact, were the equivalent of people risking their lives to work.
Therefore, it is natural that contact will be cut off if discovered. However, in recent years, the frequency has increased rapidly by about 20%.
“Looking at it this way, I guess it’s completely unrelated to this incident.”
“That’s not the only thing that concerns me. Lord Daria.”
“… … ?”
“The will of the cultist who joined hands with the Archduke the day before, and the chaotic situation of the empire. Moreover, the border territory was turned into undead as if taking advantage of that opportunity.”
Sze-.
“No matter how much I think about it, a series of things happening at the same time doesn’t seem like a mere coincidence to me.”
Hecate crossed her legs and clicked her tongue with a serious expression.
“All right. “Your Highness the Regent.”
Daria slightly lowered her head, as if she knew what she was thinking.
“I will slightly increase the number of eyes deployed to the empire and give instructions to ensure closer communication.”
“Please do me a favor. Lord Daria.”
.
.
‘I arrived at the royal capital around noon, but I actually returned home after the sun had set.’
Russell laughed softly as he recalled his eventful day. Of course, that didn’t mean she could blame others.
That’s because everything that happened today happened because of his own actions.
“Are you here? “Your Majesty the Archduke.”
When I opened the door and went in, the employee who was cleaning the first floor immediately recognized Russell and lowered his head.
I nodded slightly to him.
Judging by the fact that there was no sign of anything other than the employees busily moving around… … .
‘It looks like your brother is on a mission.’
That was the only reason for him to leave his position as a professor at the academy.
“The meal is okay, so could you just prepare some bath water?”
“yes. “Your Majesty the Archduke.”
The employee bowed his head at Russell’s words, and Russell, who returned to his room, sighed and took off the coat he was wearing.
“after.”
It’s been a while since I used the Clean Magic to shake the dust off my coat and unpack my things.
‘─!?’
Russell suddenly stopped his actions due to a sudden familiar sensation.
‘This… … !’
The feeling that the faintly connected chain of solidarity suddenly became as strong as a chain made of steel.
And with that, there was a faint spark beyond Russell’s image.
Hahahaha!
As if it would go out at any moment, the small spark swelled in size in an instant and transformed into a huge fire demon!
Next, a notification sound was heard.
[The fire spirit, Pepper (intermediate), has fully accepted the power of the fire dragon.]
[The fire spirit, Pepper (Intermediate), is a completely new entity. I am reborn as a spirit fire dragon.]
[The contract with the Spirit Fire Dragon and Pepper is restored.]
[From this moment on, you can summon the Spirit Fire Dragon Pepper through the door of the Spirit World.]
As soon as the notification sound ended, a crying sound was heard from beyond my consciousness.
-Garr!
