Sehyun spread her wings hugely again. However, just as I was about to move the wing, a mechanical sound was heard from the ring. Sehyeon instinctively curled his wings and focused on the sound.
Crackling-
[de… road. Chijik, silver… This is Cheong.]
The dirty mechanical sound soon became clearer. The person contacted was Euncheong, who is currently circling the 89th floor of the tower with the Engineering Empire.
“Euncheong, how are you today?”
[After achieving a lot of growth, we are on track.]
“What are you doing now?”
[Currently preparing for bed. The Fishman man and the Water Emperor man are safe, so don’t worry about them.]
According to plan, the 89th floor should have been conquered by the Engineering Empire alone. That was how the promise with Fan ended in the first place.
However, on the first day of competition, news of the annihilation of the Engineering Empire’s heroes and knights was announced in less than an hour. It looked different from when he had easily beaten the 88th floor before attempting the 89th floor.
Therefore, Sehyeon had no choice but to send heroes to find out the difficulty of conquering the 89th floor. As a result, it was confirmed that the difficulty level had soared to an extreme level compared to the 88th floor.
In the end, Se-hyeon had no choice but to send Eun-cheong, Kwak Jeong-han, and Aul to the engineering empire.
It had already been fifteen days since we had sent it that way. However, the end of the attack was not yet in sight.
“Don’t overdo it and take care of yourself. “Tell that to Kwak Jeong-han and Aul.”
[yes. We always give priority to what the Lord says, so don’t worry about it.]
[Hmm, who is this? Not my dear ally… .]
“Euncheong, I’ll hang up, so call me again tomorrow.”
[Yes, load.]
Sehyun ended the conversation as soon as she heard Fan’s voice next to her. And with Euncheong’s last reply, he immediately cut off the communication.
Why is there so much to say? These days, half a day just flew by when we just talked. I had to assume that if I started in earnest, I would have to stay up all night. In that case, it would have been better to practice flying all night.
Sehyeon lifted her head, turning her sore shoulders with a confused sigh. But in the meantime, the vassals who were all around had disappeared without a sound.
The crowd that had filled the window had now all disappeared. I felt a sign of popularity behind Sehyun, who was looking away. And as expected, a hand reached out from behind his shoulder and grabbed Sehyeon’s chin.
“You still haven’t given up.”
In the corner of my eye, I saw Ruhak looking down at Sehyun with his gaze down. Sehyun smiled shamelessly at those words and opened her mouth.
“Teach me directly and say that.”
“I think I taught you enough.”
“Tell me about practice, not theory. And how did it tell you? “Just fly, that’s all I told you.”
“I also said that your wings are still not good enough. Do you think a newborn bird can fly right away?”
Ana.
Sehyeon pushed away Ruhak’s hand that was tapping his cheek. I’ve been hearing that sound these days until my ears prick up. To Ruhak and even to the heroes.
“So, why did you come?”
Ruhak lazily rubbed the back of Sehyun’s neck without saying a word. Then, she tickled the back of his head and wrapped it around his fingertips. It was only when the wind rustled through his grass that Ruhak’s mouth opened.
“The Cavalry Empire came to request a meeting.”
A rattling sound was heard from somewhere. It was in the direction from which the wind blows. Sehyeon moved his gaze towards the place where the sound was coming from. A person with the appearance of a half-man and half-horse was standing in the distance for a long time, looking at Sehyeon.
It was Agatha, Lord of the Cavalry Empire.
Agatha’s dazzling armor was leaking white in the sunlight. But she was short.
Sehyeon passed by Ruhak and slowly made his way towards Agatha. The parts that I had not paid attention to before became heavier today, as if a weight had been added.
Among the many encounters, Se-hyeon had never seen the Grand Duke of Agasa. As soon as she remembered what she had not recognized, Tyra’s voice, which had left her in doubt, came to mind.
What he said was that he was not the only one who dreamed of becoming a grand duke.
It was when Sehyeon walked a long way and reached the top of the castle tower that he became alone with Agasa. There, Sehyeon calmly prayed as the wind blew past her.
“What’s going on, Agatha?”
“I’ve never said hello to you separately.”
It was a terrace with a cool breeze blowing. The cold in the sky brushed the tip of his nose, and Sehyeon stood facing Agasa in a place overlooking the vast panorama below his feet.
Agatha bowed her head briefly to express her gratitude.
“It doesn’t seem like you came all that far to say that… . “Am I doing something wrong?”
“is it. “Thank you is just one of them, and since I have something important to talk to you about, I guess that’s correct.”
A solemn voice rang loudly. The beautifully downcast benevolent eyes moved to the empire below the terrace. It was the middle of a peaceful daily life.
“Your empire is such a warm place.”
“Where would that be to my credit?”
Agasa looked back at Sehyeon as if she was seeing something really strange. But soon her kind eyes softened.
“He is a man of great humility.”
“No, really, everyone grew up on their own. “I tended to give a lot of encouragement.”
It was true that in the beginning, there was a lot of work to do in managing the vassals, but after the current heroes were created, there was a lot less work for Sehyun to do, and the vassals also preferred to grow in their own way, so there was no need for advice. .
In addition, since Ruhak handles most of the affairs related to the inside and outside of the empire, in fact, from Sehyeon’s perspective, it was as if he was doing everything alone. What the vassals needed from Sehyeon was always the same and limited.
Encouragement and interest. And the occasional conversation.
“What a king does… “It may be something very fragmentary.”
“… Right. After listening to what you said, it seems like that too. What I have to do is… “It seems like it was decided from the beginning.”
The gaze that was looking into the distance turned sharply back to Sehyeon. It looked as if it had the weight of time, just like the fan.
“What do you have to say so urgently, Agatha?”
Sehyeon asked directly. Meanwhile, the sense of déjà vu and suspicion became confirmed. And Agatha admitted it.
“You may have heard about the ‘Archduke’s Dream.’”
“Yes, I heard you. “I’m also guessing that Agasa is dreaming that dream.”
“Fen said so. If I have anything to confide in, let me know first. “He seems to think that’s the right thing to do.”
“Thank you so much for that.”
Agatha laughed. However, his gaze was blurry, as if he was looking into the distance. Her long breath poured out of her chest as if she was relieving her pain.
The story started from then.
“Tira was my dearest friend. She and Elix worked together for a long time, helping each other and growing the empire. “When her snowy mountain fog cleared and I saw her monster for the first time, she wasn’t the only one with me.”

“Are you saying there were other empires?”
“No. However, there were some people who should not be seen. “We were with our archduke at that time.”
Something was going through my mind. Even when the existence of the monster was first confirmed, and even when the existence of the monster was confirmed with the entire empire, the Grand Dukes were not present.
Now I suddenly realized the reason.
“The Archduke… Should I not look at that monster…? ?”
“exactly. To be precise, they say you shouldn’t watch it until the ‘last day’. They say they have a lot of restrictions, and those restrictions exist for reason. And when they break that restriction, their only option is death.”
“Why do you have to do that? why… .”
“They say that is the way to maintain balance in this world. Therefore, on the day the fog cleared, our Grand Duke had no choice but to die due to the restrictions of the world.”
“Then the dream… .”
“On our way to the end, this is a gift they left behind for me and Tira.”
Agatha’s eyes were immersed in sadness. Maybe that’s why she couldn’t open her mouth hastily.
“Tira and I can see the Archduke’s dreams for ourselves, and they come to us every night. It is endless, chasing us every moment, informing us, and shouting at us. “Please stand at the end.”
“… “Are you having the same dream, Tyra?”
“It’s different. That’s why we split up, pursuing the same goal but choosing different methods. However, what I can say clearly is… “The fact is that Tyra has the same purpose as us.”
Now I understand everything. From holding independent banquets to gathering empires to form an alliance and establishing clear indicators of achievement.
Agatha already knew what she had to do through the Archduke’s dream. The archduke’s dream was a precognitive dream. It becomes reality when it comes true.
“Was the White Coat League also part of Agasa’s dream? “So you didn’t stop it?”
Sehyun had always been curious about that. Even though Agatha was capable of keeping the White Coat League in check, she did not sanction all of their actions. He just waited and watched.
Because you want to avoid conflict? Are you afraid there will be more sacrifices?
no. That wasn’t it. Agatha had already predicted the actions of the White Coat League through her dreams, and ‘recognized’ that their actions were necessary for the growth of all empires.
All the sacrifices that have occurred so far have included Agatha’s neglect.
