It was when a red sunset was setting in the sky that Sehyeon visited Tyra, the White Empire.
There were only three people, including Sehyeon, who went to meet Tyra. Fan and Baek Do-hyeon. Jaeyoung Lee was excluded at Fan’s suggestion. Considering the compatibility of the two races, the reason was that Tyra might not open her mouth if she felt threatened.
The Grand Dukes of each empire also did not attend the event. All I knew was that the story about the ‘Archduke’s Dream’ was something that should not be mentioned even among archdukes.
“Baek Do-hyun shares the line of sight with Isis. Is that okay?”
“You’re better than anyone who plays backwards. “Why are you worried?”
“You’re saying all kinds of things, like you’re tired of the heat.”
“We are currently disconnected from Isis, so there is nothing to worry about.”
“Oh, yes. “Then you said that from the beginning?”
All the Grand Dukes could not share or pursue each other’s dreams. That, Sehyeon guessed, was the archdukes’ iron rule.
The place where Tyra was detained was in the cabin of Fan’s airship. She was sitting in front of the table, which she did even though she knew everyone would come. The number of teacups on the table was exactly four.
“I guess they knew we were coming.”
“So what?”
Tyra answered in a soft tone. Although she didn’t smile, her appearance itself was kind. The pair of wings on Tyra’s back were now dyed red in the glow of the sunset.
“The car will get cold. “I think everyone should sit down first.”
In the end, everyone had to sit down in front of the teacup as Tira said. Among them, the seat where Sehyun sat was across from Tyra.
“Didn’t you come because you had something to say?”
“Are you willing to answer?”
“As far as I can tell, I think so.”
“Then let me ask you. “I want to hear what your cause is for.”
Tyra’s pure white eyes stayed on the table for a moment. Her expressionless face soon poured out long words.
“As I said to the Engineering Empire, my cause requires sacrifice. This plan was just one of them. I am grateful to them. Because of that sacrifice, this plan was able to succeed. It’s not that I don’t feel guilty. But, even if I had to go back in time, I would make the same choice.”
“Tira. I asked what the cause was.”
“My cause? “My cause is the same as yours.”
“So you just sat and watched while we fought?”
Tyra did not open her mouth. But it wasn’t because she didn’t have anything to say. She wasn’t embarrassed or sorry.
“Because I had to. Everything I did was just a process. You only took the results. However, the desire for the same result is the same. However, the process they pursue is different.”
Tyra calmly spoke cold words. It was understandable, but no one could agree with it.
“I will fight with you until the end. For that, I plan to make any sacrifices. And there is one more sacrifice left to make. “I can’t quit until there are victims.”
“Tira. “I guess it never occurred to you that the victim was you.”
“Unfortunately, not me. Of course not you.”
The answer made me feel like I had come to the end. There was confidence in resoluteness, and that confidence was uniform.
“Is that the ‘Archduke’s Dream’ you heard about?”
I don’t know how she was able to hear about that ‘dream’ from the Archduke. The Archduke had restrictions, and mentioning it led directly to death. This was something I knew from Ruhak.
Nevertheless, she easily mentioned the Archduke’s dream. As if she heard everything.
How is this possible?
“No, it’s different. jeon… “I didn’t hear it, I saw it.”
Tyra’s quiet eyes looked towards the small window. Many thoughts passed through her sunset-colored face.
“I can’t say much. But one thing is for sure, everything I did was for you. “This success was the same.”
“If we all died because of it, what would you do?”
“Everything would have failed. All.”
Tyra’s plan had to be seen as a failure from the perspective of the White Coat Federation. There were casualties, but in the end, the situation could not be ‘maintained’.
The barrier was still weakening, and the attack date was brought forward. If things continue like this, it won’t be long before we reach the 100th floor of the tower. Not everyone was able to grow properly.
Nevertheless, Tyra dismissed this result as ‘success.’ As if a certain result was intended.
“Tira, do you know what I got from the tower?”
Tyra looked back at everyone with a smile. Her eyes were unreadable.
“Because we made sacrifices for that.”
Two skills that Sehyun gained at the top. If Tyra is talking about this, then yes. Apart from her sacrifice, Sehyun had to be grateful to her. If it had not been for that extreme situation, at least <Will of Solidarity> would not have arisen.
“Baek Do-hyeon.”
Se-hyeon’s eyes turned to Baek Do-hyeon. I saw Baek Do-hyun’s eyes colored grass-colored in my field of vision. Baek Do-hyeon’s eyes turned black again as soon as Se-hyeon called.
“entire… “It’s true.”
When Baek Do-hyun, who had been seeing through the lies, spit out the truth, Se-hyeon stood up from his seat. This was because I judged it useless to talk any further than this.
Tyra had plans to reach the same central point in the same way in the future. If I couldn’t be persuaded, there was only one way.
“Tira will be repatriated to your empire as early as tomorrow. However, after that, you will never leave the empire.”
All empires agreed to detain Tyra in the empire and agreed to strictly monitor her. All airships and communication magic devices will also be confiscated. So, starting tomorrow, the White Empire will face complete isolation.
“If you’re trying to stop the victims, it’s useless. “The last victim will inevitably come out.”
“At least I won’t go as innocently as you did.”
Sehyeon coldly turned his back. He heard a soft voice behind him as he walked away.
“Visit the Bangho Empire and the Iron Palace Empire. You will be promised future cooperation. “At least they are innocent.”
If that’s hypocrisy, then yes. She had made a good choice. Sehyeon continued her steps without answering. However, just before opening the door, she added something meaningful.
“I guess you’re not curious about the fact that I can have the ‘Archduke’s Dream.’”
Sehyeon stopped walking without thinking and looked back. Tyra’s gaze remained on the cooled teacup. When that gaze came up, Tyra asked again. She says why don’t you ask?
“Is there any reason why I should know that?”
“No, there is none. It’s just my greed. “I just wanted to let you know that I am not the only one who dreams of becoming an archduke.”
Before we knew it, both Fan and Baek Do-hyeon were concentrating on Tyra’s words. In particular, Fan’s eyes were so scary that they were scary.
“what… “You mean?”
“That’s literally it. The Grand Duke can convey the dream to the King in exchange for his life. Have you ever seen my archduke even once?”
The death of the Archduke was announced by Tira instead with the word of absence. No one could answer Tyra’s words. For since she came to Elix, no one had seen her archduke.

Tyra’s gaze moved again to the window where the sunset was shining.
“… That’s all I can tell you. We will cooperate with you regarding quarantine. If you need anything, come see me. Whatever it is, I will be your strength.”
The conversation ended after that. Tyra’s gaze did not leave the window until everyone had left.

“Just a little more, Lord…” !”
“Rod, cheer up!”
Sehyun flapped her wings eagerly while listening to the words of encouragement coming from beside her. But after about five seconds, he was overcome by the effort and had to come crashing down onto the floor. Before his knees touched the ground, Zeno, who was waiting next to him, quickly came over and supported Sehyun.
“ah… “I’m dying.”
In front of Sehyeon, who was exhausted and muttering, his retainers were gathered together with eyes that looked as if they were going to die. They were all vassals who came out of training at the training center. Even the windows of the building were full of retainers sticking their heads out to look.
“It’s because the strength of the wings is still very weak, Lord. “Don’t overdo it.”
Sehyeon, who had been listening closely to Zeno’s words of comfort, drew his wings and stared at him for a long time as if glaring. When he asked Yoo Si-un, he said that he would develop flying skills in about a week, but even though he had been practicing for almost 15 days, Se-hyeon was completely clueless.
“Would you like to get some rest?”
“no. “Just try one more time.”
The expressions of the retainers who were looking at Sehyeon’s words with regret suddenly brightened. Even though they loved it like this, when Ruhak’s appearance started to appear from a hundred meters away, all the retainers would disappear in the blink of an eye.
It was said that everyone was looking around and making plans to buy something.
Sehyeon sat down on the lawn again and took a deep breath. From afar, Kim Gap-jun was seen watching with his back holding a fly swatter, and Huey was cheering with his fists clenched.
The fly swatter in Kim Gap-jun’s hand was being upgraded day by day. I was shocked to find out later that it was created through Yoon Je-ha. After checking, there are a whopping 4 SS grade magic stones in that fly swatter.
Based on Sehyun’s level, it was said that one hit would kill him.
