“The Earl of Queensberry. “Calm down.”
“It looks real! “They say my daughter is dead!”
imperial family. Pluto, Earl of Queensberry, got up from the round table. In short, it is because of the death of Sophia Queensberry.
“It’s rude in front of Your Majesty!”
“Despite? “Do you think I can see something like that now?”
Pluto bit his molars and strongly protested to Lucius.
“your majesty! Please allow me to lead my soldiers and set foot on the northern lands right now!”
Lucius put his hands together and bit his lip slightly.
One of the students who went to the North for classes died. After all, that is the successor of the Margrave of Queensberry, who protects the empire from barbarians outside the country – Sophia Queensberry.
If it were another minor noble, it would have been possible to reach a compromise with appropriate compensation. This is a statement that won’t even work against that upright Count Pluto.
The Earl of Queensberry was also a family with the largest number of private soldiers after the Duke of Windsor, as their mission was a mission.
Turning your back would have been a painful mistake.
“Lord Chiron.”
Lucius looked at the commander of the 1st Imperial Knights, who was the decisive cause of this meeting.
“yes. your majesty.”
“Is it absolutely true that Sophia Queensberry is dead?”
“This is Isabella Ronds’ testimony. “We are told that Sophia Queensberry has died and that Academy students who have requested to return are being detained.”
“Huh…”
“How can that be?”
Sighs flowed from the mouths of the nobles.
‘This time… I can’t help it.’
Who would trust and follow the imperial family that does nothing when a nobleman’s son dies?
There was nothing that weakened the imperial power more than that.
It was impossible to absolve the House of Windsor of any responsibility.
“I will ask the Duke of Windsor to surrender the head of the Knight Commander who was in charge at the time and issue a formal apology. “I will also issue an imperial order to release the imprisoned students.”
This is the Maginot Line. Lucius thought so.

“Looking at the situation-”
“I thought Irene and the prince shouldn’t stay together, so I called them.”
“I apologize for my dogmatism.”
Ruby and Rosalie bowed their heads to Victoria. However, he didn’t seem sorry at all. Victoria said without paying any particular attention.
“Good job. So, what about Irene?”
“I was exterminating the monsters with the prince.”
“As far as I can tell, there are 120,000. “Irene’s strength is about 80% gone.”
“I need 15 days to recover. “Currently, they are coming this way from the defense line following orders to return.”
“They say monsters won’t come over here for about a month.”
“I received confirmation directly from Mine, so trust is high.”
Not all mines are bad. There are also helpful monsters like Ruby and Rosalie in front. In other words, they are clearly capable of communication and have emotions.
It seems like they took advantage of that to negotiate with Mine. As expected, behavior befitting the heir to the House of Windsor.
‘That kid could surpass me.’
“But- I can’t say the situation is good.”
“Irene reported that it is definitely a sign of a great disaster.”
“In one month, the apocalypse will almost certainly begin.”
“Maybe it has already started.”
“Right.”
Victoria nodded and walked to the window.
When I pulled back the curtain, light came into the only dark square.
Ruby and Rosalie were scared and took three steps back.
However, I felt an unusual flow of mana and flinched. I stood on either side of Victoria and looked out the window.
At that moment—
coooooo!
In the distance, I saw a light like a thunderbolt falling from the sky.
Needless to say, the blue light that was clearly visible from afar was Ruid’s magic power.
“If things continue like this, it won’t be long before we conquer the Fifth Magic. “The highest level that no one has ever reached.”
The hand holding Victoria’s curtains became tense.
“A child who is only 12 years old.”
“Congratulations.”
“With Luid’s skills, even the apocalypse will pass without any problems.”
But Victoria said with a straight face.
“No, even if a great disaster occurs, Ruid will not step forward. “I will make that happen.”
Rosalie’s expressionless eyebrows rose slightly.
After a moment of silence, Rosalie spoke.
“May I ask why you protect Mr. Ruid so much?”
“Rosalie. “It’s rude.”
But Rosalie looked at Victoria without wavering. It was a face that said he had to hear an answer.
Victoria glanced at her and thought for a moment.
-I swear. I will make sure that this child does not meet the same end as you. So, please…
It wasn’t a very pleasant memory. that day. The day her husband and Ruid’s father died. Victoria just made a promise. As for Ruid, I won’t expose myself to any danger.

“That child… just stay like that. All you need to do is sleep and smile. I want nothing more than that.”
To be precise, I hope you do just that.
I told Ruid, ‘Do what you want to do.’
It’s a lie.
Even if Ruid wants the empire to fall – he will make it happen.
However, it is unacceptable for Ruid to step forward in person.
Victoria won’t tell Ruid to do anything.
The Maginot Line sometimes goes as far as using magic on the monsters on the defense line as an act of warming up, as the magic builds up to the point where it feels frustrating.
Other than that, nothing is allowed.
“Just wrapping it up is not the answer.”
Ruby broke into a cold sweat and looked at Rosalie and Victoria. In particular, looking at Rosalie, I thought, ‘What did she eat wrong?’
Victoria chuckled.
“Maybe so. “I wouldn’t be a good parent.”
“…Do you know? If the opponent is a monster, then Irene. No, there is no one, not even Victoria, who can eliminate monsters more easily than Ruid.”
Rosalie’s subtle anger was revealed. It wasn’t anger towards Victoria. It was anger directed at the word ‘monster’ itself.
“You promised to eliminate all monsters that exist in this world. “That’s the price you pay for using Ruby and me as your maids.”
“I keep my promises.”
Victoria said firmly.
“But, it’s just not Ruid who does it.”
“There is an easy way, so why…!”
Don’t ask more than once. If asked what the twin maids’ greatest ability is, Victoria would answer that without hesitation. They were competent maids. But the fact that it’s coming out like this now…
‘I guess that means it’s that hard to accept.’
I completely understand them, but there are things that everyone cannot compromise on.
For Victoria, it was all about Lloyd. Even if Ruid himself doesn’t want it.
“greatness. “There is one more thing to see and do.”
Ruby, who didn’t like the dull atmosphere, spoke up to brighten the mood.
She said it because she thought it was a fun story – but
there wasn’t a single thing Ruby said that was funny.
‘But that’s the point.’
Ruby felt good at the thought of making that icy Victoria smile.
“Speak.”
“A delegation from the imperial family has arrived. “I sent the rest away, leaving only one messenger behind in the mansion.”
“Right.”
Victoria answered calmly as always.
But after about 5 minutes-
“…Isn’t it common sense to usually say that first?”
Victoria responded as if it were absurd.
Rosalie, who was a little excited, soon regained her composure and spoke politely.
“I didn’t know much about human common sense.”
“Rosalie was wrong. “Ruby did nothing wrong.”
For your information, it was Ruby who just said. Rosalie glared at her immature older sister.
Victoria said with a weak sigh.
“Call me.”
Rosalie immediately turned around and took a step forward. Her appearance disappeared without a trace. After blinking about three times, Rosalie appeared carrying a male nobleman like a piece of luggage.
Ruby covered her mouth and laughed. Because from her perspective, she looked like a person wearing quite ridiculous clothes.
Of course, the clothes the lion wore were the latest and most luxurious clothes in the empire.
Rosalie roughly threw the male nobleman to the floor.
“Hey, hey. “What are you doing?”
“Shut up, human. “Unless you want that insignificant lifeline cut off right now.”
Rosalie stared coldly. Victoria stopped Rosalie.
“Rosalie. “Cool your head for a moment and come back.”
Rosalie bit her molars and clicked her tongue. He turned his back and disappeared.
The man flinched and turned his gaze to Victoria. I got up and straightened my clothes.
“Representative of the imperial delegation, Count Romania. “I have come to deliver Your Majesty’s orders.”
“Speak.”
“First of all, before getting into the main topic, if we are talking about our Romania family, they are prestigious enough to be selected for this delegation…”
“Start with the main topic.”
“…two things. One is that the Duke of Windsor is unfairly imprisoning students at the Imperial Academy. Another one is the death of Sophia Queensberry.”
“What is the imperial family’s opinion?”
“First, we must release the Imperial Academy students.”
“I reject it. “I don’t want to take away my son’s toys.”
Romania opened her eyes wide.
“Now, toy?”
“But tell me. “Tell me the following.”
“The Duke of Windsor must be held responsible for the death of Sophia Queensberry.”
“I will take responsibility.”
Victoria agreed.
“Tell me what goods you want.”
“No, I don’t need any goods.”
“Then tell me what you want.”
“I want the head of the Knight of Windsor who stood guard at that time. The Earl of Queensberry said that he could not accept it otherwise. “This is a very minimal requirement.”
Victoria answered without any hesitation.
“refuse.”
“…!”
“Go back. “I am done with what I have to say.”
Of course, the Count of Romania could not be asked here.
This is the position of representative of the delegation that he managed to obtain through force. It would have been difficult to not achieve results here. Because the empire is utilitarian.
“This is not a light incident!”
Victoria tried to ignore it and move on. Romania felt anxious as Victoria moved further and further away. So I ended up mentioning a topic that would likely make her react.
“especially! Luid Christopher Windsor’s responsibility is enormous! “I must hold them accountable…”
Victoria was already next to Romania.
I was obviously keeping my eyes on Victoria’s back.
“…!”
Romania’s expression was filled with astonishment.
“You crossed the line. Count of Romania.”
Tuk.
Romania’s head rolled down. Romania’s body, which had no upper neck, collapsed. Victoria stared at the corpse with a cold gaze.
He still has an expressionless face, but the corners of his eyes are slightly raised than usual. It was proof that he was quite angry.
Victoria walked to the window again, took a deep breath, and suppressed her anger.
“Ruby.”
“yes.”
killed a lion This is going to be quite a nuisance. But there were no regrets.
“How long does it take to destroy an empire?”
“A week at most.”
Victoria opened her mouth with serene eyes. This question was simply of interest.
“Assuming Ruid joins the war, how long will it take?”
“I can’t make a hasty conclusion, it’s just a guess, but… the time it takes for Master Ruid to cast a magic spell that is enough to destroy the empire is approximately.”
Ruby gave a brief thud and threw it away.
“Seven seconds.”
