Ruid decided to watch.
All the emperor did was try to help Amelia gain credit, and he had not yet crossed the line.
…More than anything, Windsor’s succession structure does not change that easily.
Irene’s abilities were too good to change just because she made a contribution.
Irene is strong. Even Ruid doesn’t know the end.
Even Amelia, who is a bit clumsy to begin with, is often described as ‘heavenly’ in the original work.
Irene’s skill is to subdue Amelia with a single blow. Honestly, no matter what the emperor did, it was impossible to overturn this structure.
“Uh, professor.”
At that time, Ella asked cautiously.
“why?”
“…Uh, how long can I pet you?”
Ella was kneeling and stroking Luid’s fluffy hair.
‘Ella is an all-rounder.’
Ella was an all-round genius magical girl. Study if study, pillow if pillow. In particular, its usability as a pillow is amazing.
First of all, he has a strong body, probably because he is tall. Not too soft and not too hard. Moreover, Ella’s body temperature was higher than average, so she was warm. It is truly a great pillow, sofa, and cushion.
It’s perfect as long as you can endure the shame of being a professor who is looked after by an assistant. And that was the area where Ruid was most confident.
“Until I sleep.”
“I-I have a lot of work behind me…”
“Ella.”
Ruid spoke seriously.
“The most important thing you need to do is put me to sleep.”
“Yes, yes!”
Ella also answered seriously.
But I was restless, twisting my body.
‘oh my god.’
Ella was in the greatest crisis on earth.
‘I want to go to the bathroom…!’
That’s because I’ve been holding on to it ever since.
**
“You’re late.”
Ella came into the student council room panting.
Today is the scheduled day for the regular meeting. Everyone was already seated. Damon said something.
“That’s cruel. How dare you be later than this body?”
“S-sorry.”
Ella bowed deeply.
“I was late putting Professor Luid to bed…!”
Ella was sweating profusely. Although I naturally sweat a lot, the situation just now was that urgent.
“Lu, I came after putting Ruid to sleep.”
Hercy looked at the floor with a gloomy expression.
“IM jealous.”
“hmm. That can’t be helped. “Sit down.”
Damon nodded seriously. Originally, even if a natural disaster had occurred, commoners would have been severely reprimanded for daring to be later than themselves. However, Ruid decided to take a look because it felt like a catastrophe in the sky, more serious than a natural disaster.
“There’s nothing special about calling you today.”
Damon said confidently, crossing his arms.
“It is to change the academy’s system. “Let’s get rid of that damned first emperor’s will.”
“Ah yes. “That’s really not that big of a deal…”
Hercy stood up suddenly.
“It’s not a big deal, right?!”
Hercy was so absurd that his depressed feelings were blown away all at once.
“what is the problem?”
“Of course there are problems. That means it will shake the foundations of the empire.”
“If the foundation of the empire is something like that, it is better to destroy it.”
Damon is talking nonsense. It’s not just a day or two. But Hercy realized when she saw Damon’s cold expression. That it is sincere.
“This huge empire is in motion through a fairy tale titled The First Emperor. “Don’t you think it’s incredibly backward?”
“The will of the first and first emperors is a system that has been well maintained for a thousand years. As a result, the empire is entering an unprecedented golden age.”
Hersi calmed down a little and sat down.
“If these words reach the ears of other nobles, they will be severely punished…”
“Does the meaning of the golden age refer to the current situation where the entire empire is steeped in the sweet honey of peace?”
Hercy bit her lip. I glanced at Damon with nervous eyes.
‘This person, really…’
she answered as best she could.
“Certainly, from a nobleman’s perspective, there are many parts of the first emperor’s will that are incomprehensible.”
Damon nodded as if asking him to speak.
“However, I think the direction is right. Although I think it is a utopia that can never be reached, the value of equality is effective enough.”
“Huh, then girl. Do you think the current situation suits the empire?”
“In general, yes. It makes no sense to say that nobles and commoners are equal, but that is a fact limited to the Academy. Thanks to this, the empire is now able to train excellent talent. In fact, every year, outstanding wizards from commoner backgrounds emerge.”
Damon said as if it were ridiculous.
“You’re wrong, girl. I assure you. “The quality of the average wizard in the empire is significantly lacking compared to other kingdoms.”

“I can’t just sit back and listen to that.”
Hercy denied it.
“According to research by magic academics, the Empire’s magic is a century ahead of other kingdoms.”
“What do you think will happen if war actually breaks out?”
“…yes? “That’s right.”
Of course the Empire wins. No country can be stronger than an empire. That’s what Hercy was trying to say. But Damon spoke first.
“One person, no. What can a wizard who has never killed even a single monster do? “No matter how many inexperienced troops there are, they are just a burden.”
The will of the first emperor. Damon thought it was just a fake poison. Human history has always developed through fighting. However, the first emperor’s values regarded struggle as barbaric and disparaged conquest as unconscionable.
Damon didn’t understand those values from a young age.
It is an empire that must be coveted, destroyed, and exploited. That is the hegemony, and only then can there be development.
“Talented person. Certainly, there are many talented people in the empire. But where does that talent want to go? He is a decryption wizard. What about the article? “No matter how hard you sharpen it, it is completely useless, so can their swords really be sharp?”
Hercy closed his mouth.
And I was embarrassed.
“Of course… we have to be cautious as the period of peace is long, but I don’t think the empire will fall so easily. Prince Damon’s words are too extreme.”
“It’s extreme. “Are you still saying things like that after what happened?”
Damon calmly recited the situation.
“A warlock has invaded the heart of the empire. “The truth has not yet been revealed.”
“…!”
“Everyone was busy praising Ruid’s achievements.”
Hercy’s eyes wavered.
Damon said, looking at his hands.
“I got goosebumps. If Windsor had not been there then, the Emperor would have died. Nevertheless, they enjoy the banquet without any caution, laughing and chatting. “It is something that I cannot understand based on my common sense.”
A strong look of disgust appeared on Damon’s face.
“I assure you. Among all empires, the current one, addicted to the drug of complacency, is the weakest. “It will crumble even in a mild crisis.”
Hersi swallowed dry saliva. What he said made sense. But-
“…there is no way.”
The first emperor’s will is absolute. Even if you are an emperor, it is difficult to change that value. However, they were only the student council of the academy. Even though he is a successor, that is still in the distant future.
“The monster of the North.”
Damon snapped and threw it.
“yes?”
“I think the reason Windsor is strong is because he is a monster. They have their first experience killing monsters at the age of five. And when you become an adult, every day is a war. “We must face the pouring mighty monsters of the North.”
Damon was strongly convinced.
“The monsters of the North are the only way to wake up this weak empire. More than anything.”
Damon chuckled and looked at Hercy.
“Don’t you think that a country is putting too much of a burden on individuals?”
“Now, just a moment. Boo, you’re going to catch the northern monster? “With academy students?”
Damon put away his serious face and returned to his usual arrogant face.
He declared, crossing his legs arrogantly.
“The low-born have no right to dare to see Windsor Castle. It’s not us who are visiting, it’s the monsters. Let’s dismantle Windsor’s first line of defense. In preparation for that day, I order harsh training.”
Hercy was absurd. It’s hard to tell how strong the northern monsters are. Moreover, the first defense line was the line directly connected to the capital. It didn’t seem realistic.
“Is that possible…?”
Damon raised his eyebrows.
“A dear friend of mine just happens to owe me a debt.”
**
“…is the summary of this meeting.”
Luid’s assistant, Ella, reported faithfully. I had a habit of reporting even the smallest details, but this time, Damon made me do it.
This was Ruid’s impression after hearing the whole story.
“…It’s not difficult, though.”
Wouldn’t you rather like Victoria or Irene?
The North always has a manpower shortage.
There are nine defense lines that block monsters, and the Duke of Windsor is blocking them all by himself.
No matter how untouchable Victoria and Irene’s abilities are, they do not have multiple bodies.
Since the level of monsters is high, if a new knight goes to the defense line, the survival rate is 50%.
In particular, the first defense line has the lowest number and level of monsters, and since it is directly connected to the capital, Irene is in charge.
You can’t miss even a single rabbit monster, so you need a strong person like Irene. Of course, this is a huge loss of manpower.
As a result, Irene would sometimes grumble. ‘Louis, do you know why I want to become the head of the family? ‘I want to go to a slightly stronger defense line.’
Damon’s plan is something to be welcomed with open arms. Irene, who heard this news, probably thought it was time to withdraw from the defense line in just one second.
“I can’t handle it… I can’t handle it.”
“Are the monsters on the first defense line that strong…? So much that the entire empire can’t handle it?”
“The entire empire can handle it. But, as Damon said, the Empire is not idle.”
Most of the main forces are located at the border. It is an era of peace, but it is limited to the system. There are other monsters in the lower regions, and in the areas bordering the border, so-called ‘barbarians’ often plunder. Of course, you shouldn’t invite them.
“Because we have to protect Your Majesty, the Imperial Knights cannot move much. “From the beginning, the current empire’s system was built on the premise that our house would thoroughly block the northern monsters.”
Even though it is the weakest first defense line because it is far from the north, it is difficult unless the nobles volunteer their troops. I don’t think the greedy nobles would bother to give up their troops. In other words, you really have to deal with monsters with academy personnel.
“Uh… how about bringing the troops from the first line of defense to the islands?”
“Hmm.
I was just about to say, “If that’s the case, there is no reason for Windsor to accept Damon’s request.”
Something passed through Ruid’s mind.
‘Damon wants to stop the Emperor’s plans.’
‘I’m not the type to lie, so I sincerely want to stop the empire’s evil practices.’
‘Damon has the style of solving multiple things at the same time.’
‘There is only one way to definitely resolve those two issues.’
Luid’s eyes opened wide.
“Bringing Sister Irene…to the Islands?”
It was the only way to keep the emperor in check and at the same time bring about a wind of change in the solid empire.
