EP.156
It was still cold in the north when I returned after a long time. Even in the cold, people were all out on the streets.
This is the welcoming ceremony for Ruid, who returned from the war. All the achievements of the youngest member of the Windsor family have been told.
A person cheering, a person shedding tears, a little child who is happy without knowing what it is.
Their appearance is reflected on Ruid in the carriage.
War.
It may be like hell for the loser, but what better news can there be than that for the winner?
This is especially good news for the people of the North, who are starving because they have no food to eat even though they have overwhelming military power.
“Lord Luid. “Why don’t you at least say hello to the residents of the territory?”
Despite coming this far, Ruid didn’t say a word. Half guilt and half obligation to do something. It was because my head was full of such things.
“That’s surprising. I thought Rosalie wouldn’t say that. “Because they treat people’s lives like flies.”
“They are vampires who will never have a human heart, but before that, they are living beings. “How can you not feel attached to people who have been together for a century?”
Rosalie spoke in a low voice.
“I like northerners. really.”
Ruid said harshly.
“Please stop here. “I’ll walk.”
“yes.”
Rosalie’s family stopped the carriage. Rosalie got off the carriage first and escorted Luid.
I held Rosalie’s cold hand and walked among the people.
“We won!”
“Windsor is great!”
“Master, are you hurt anywhere?”
“I heard that you defeated the Empire with a single spell!”
I can hear people cheering.
I felt it again and thought that I really liked it.
Maybe Irene wanted to see this.
As I walked, thinking about various things, I reached my destination.
This is the first line of defense.
There is one reason I came here.
“…I’m home.”
Because it was the only option to get everything back.
I have to somehow complete the 5th magic.
To do that-
“Ah, Lord Luid! Are you back already? It was just a little bit longer and it was about to be completed. Rather than that, look at this. I completed ‘Time Acceleration’ in the 5th magic. This big apple tree was just a seed until yesterday. “Now all that’s left is to turn this back into a seed.”
I need this genius’s help.
“I have something to talk about. “Ella.”
**
The 4th defense line arrived after four days.
There was someone who had come to meet us in advance in front of the gate where Windsor Castle was vaguely visible.
It was a maid.
Blonde hair and red eyes. A maid with pale skin.
‘All the maids at Windsor are unique.’
With that in mind, Damon got off the carriage. Ruby bows.
“welcome. Damon Kairos. Hercy Minerva. and…”
Ruby’s eyes gaze into the inside of the carriage.
“Amelia.”
“….”
A moment of silence follows.
A blond-haired blond sticks his head out through the window in the coachman’s seat.
“How did you know?”
“Have you forgotten that I am Mine? “Windsor’s incredible magic can be felt even at the end of the world.”
Ruby said that and turned around.
“Please follow me. “One troublemaker and two microbes.”
“She’s quite a cheeky maid.”
Damon chuckled. For some reason, I didn’t feel too bad.
“Anyway, the thing that’s calling us is….”
“He is the head of the family.”
“…!”
Amelia’s expression hardened. Yes, Ruby coming out to meet me means that, but… I’m not ready yet.
“Good.”
But Damon’s smile grew darker.
‘As expected, war is Irene’s arbitrary decision. Victoria Windsor disagrees.’
Victoria’s presence is a great help in this situation.
No matter how much Irene is, there is no way she can beat the current head of the family, Victoria Windsor.
Even if this is a trap, it doesn’t matter.
It’s a battle that can be won if time passes.
It’s such an easy fight that you’ll be in trouble if you don’t do it.
Ruby stopped at a place where there were few people.

When I stretched out my hand into the air, the space became distorted.
“oh my god.”
Hersi gently covered his mouth. Space transfer magic. How can you use such a difficult magic without even casting it?
Damon was equally surprised, but he acted calm. From now on, I am no longer just an academy student – nor as a friend of Ruid –
Because as the heir to the first throne, I am meeting the head of the Duke of Windsor.
Damon crossed the gate with his head held high.
The vision changed in an instant.
It was the first time I set foot in Windsor Castle, which I had only heard about.
My impressions….
‘It’s simple.’
An aristocratic family is bound to have beautiful works of art or luxurious exhibits.
Because no noble wants to be found fault with anyone. Even fallen nobles who are falling apart have one or two expensive decorations.
However, Windsor Castle did not show any of these things. As I walked through the huge hall, I felt lonely even though there were only four people there.
But it could never be ignored.
I don’t know if it was like that from the beginning or if it was Windsor’s unique magic that made it that way, but Windsor Castle was all ice.
A castle made of pure ice.
The beauty in itself was luxurious enough even without fancy decorations or paintings.
After taking a few steps, I came across a large door. Ruby took the lead and stretched out her hand. Before I could reach it, the door opened by itself.
Squeak-
“Ugh.”
The moment you cross that door, you feel a pressure that you cannot dare to deny.
Damon, Hercy- and Amelia also took a deep breath. Hercy had already collapsed and Damon was also at his limit.
Amelia looked better, but she didn’t look comfortable.
Sitting at the end of the giant pupil was Victoria Windsor.
She, the owner of the Duke of Windsor and possibly the strongest person in the world, was spreading enormous fear around her.
It’s so uncomfortable that I don’t even have to ask.
Damon broke into a cold sweat. I forced my eyes to see Victoria through blurry vision.
‘I guess I won’t be able to speak properly like this.’
Did you read that thought? Like a mirage, the pressure that had been bathing my entire body disappeared in an instant. I feel so relieved that I feel liberated.
“As expected, he was alive. “Amelia.”
“Yes yes… uh mother… not the head of the family.”
“Ruby, I was worried that your life string was about to break.”
Contrary to what she said, Victoria didn’t look worried about Amelia at all.
It’s not because they’re not very good parents. She knew that Amelia would not die from such an ordeal.
Because Windsor is f*cking strong.
“I am aware of your existence. Damon and Hersey. And that he is my son’s best friend. But please forgive me.”
Victoria’s voice sank.
“I can’t be kind right now.”
“I understand.”
Damon answered briefly and walked forward. Still, his eyes were fixed on Victoria.
A situation that could easily be considered rude. Damon focused his energy on Victoria.
Victoria didn’t show any unpleasant reaction. This is not acting. This attitude meant that even the slightest offense was not bothersome.
‘Am I fortunate among misfortunes?’
It was a plus in his plans. Damon stopped and looked around. Like looking for something to sit on.
Victoria, who was resting her chin, waved her hand in the air. A chair fell from subspace.
“Thank you.”
“Now that the emperor is dead, you will be the next heir to the throne. “You should show this level of courtesy.”
It’s a short moment, but it’s something that tells you a lot. First of all, even though I am stuck in the north, I am fully aware of the current situation.
The most important thing is that Victoria’s ambitions are broad. She was colder than Amelia, but had a more humane personality than Irene.
“It’s an empire that has already fallen.”
“If that were the case, you wouldn’t have come to me. “I guess you came to see me because you weren’t enough on your own.”
Victoria’s two words settled the situation. He came to seek help. Victoria is a person who must be helped to the extent possible.
Here, if you answer negatively, you will not be able to receive help, and if you answer positively, the initiative will be transferred to you.
Above all, the atmosphere and tone she gave off made me feel like she knew what was going on in her head.
‘As expected, the head of the House of Windsor is different.’
Damon had no choice but to admit it.
Until now, no matter how strong Windsor was, it had been thought that he lacked political acumen – but
that prejudice has been broken.
but-
‘thank god. ‘It’s a tendency to value practicality rather than immediate emotions.’
Rather, it was more comfortable for Damon.
“That’s strange. “I guess they were the ones who found us first.”
Damon smiled leisurely. It was a situation where making a mistake would be considered rude to the extent that Hersi and Amelia were embarrassed.
“Are you going out of your way? If it weren’t for me, there would be no reason to come to the fourth line of defense. “Not necessarily in a place where Irene is.”
Hercy and Amelia’s shoulders trembled. In particular, Amelia felt an earthquake in her pupils. But Damon was different.
‘Are you saying Irene is already there? That means…’
Damon’s eyes sank coldly.
‘Luid is not here.’
“exactly? I didn’t know. The person responsible for the downfall of the empire is already in the north. “Just in case I wanted to ask, are your arms and legs okay?”
“It’s as if you’re asking me if I didn’t punish you. “Why should I do that?”
I could hear a subtle anger in Victoria’s voice.
“Are you saying that the commander who won the war should at least be punished?”
“Before that, let me ask you one question.”
Damon spoke calmly.
“Does Irene know we are here?”
“I do not know.”
“You covered it up. “Thank you.”
“There is no need to be thankful. “I will arrive here in a little while.”
It was a truly dizzyingly dangerous situation.
Amelia, on the other hand, was greatly shocked.
“…Matriarch.”
I stood in front of Victoria with a blank face.
“Are you forgiving Irene?”
“Are your wounds okay?”
“…I made Ruid like that and killed countless people.”
“Go and get some rest. That’s enough. “Your succession test is over.”
“mother-!”
“Amelia!”
Victoria got up from her seat. Without hesitation, he drew his sword and approached Amelia with great strides.
“Don’t test my patience.”
“It was my mother who told me to protect Ruid!”
“That meant do it yourself! “You are not betraying Windsor by joining hands with these young children!”
“…!”
“You know? “If you continue like this, you will.”
Victoria forced a swallow. It also seemed like he was swallowing his anger.
put the sword back Instead, he looked at Amelia and spoke coldly.
“Irene and Chuck will lose. That means pointing the sword directly at your family. “It means betraying Windsor.”
“….”
To Victoria, that was unacceptable.
“…What has already happened cannot be helped. Leah. “If you’re Windsor, you have to move on.”
It is easier to receive forgiveness than to ask permission.
Amelia only now realized that perhaps Irene had known about Victoria’s tendencies long ago.
That was a very upsetting story.
Transparent water droplets flowed down Amelia’s white skin.
Everything seemed meaningless now.
Amelia’s clear vision gradually faded as she sat down.
“That’s pathetic.”
Until Damon spoke.
“Your four little sons, who are not even adults, are still struggling, but have you already given up as parents?”
Victoria said to Ruby dismissively.
“When will Irene come?”
“Now soon-”
“If you know this far, you probably know this too. “And that the first emperor has awakened.”
Victoria acted as if she couldn’t hear Damon.
“Go and get him yourself.”
“Yes, let’s go.”
Damon didn’t give in.
“Now that the first emperor has awakened, he will aim for Windsor – and it will not be an easy fight. Did you decide to suppress your immediate anger and deal with it? To protect Windsor?”
Victoria finally looked into Damon’s eyes.
Damon spoke confidently without stopping.
“Irene Windsor would try to respond by reviving Delrin. But unfortunately, even Delrin is no match for the first emperor. “She was already killed by the first emperor once.”
That seemed absurd to Hersy.
Why is the name of a person who died a thousand years old being mentioned?
I couldn’t keep up with the speed at which Damon spoke.
However, Ruby’s slightly surprised face only proved that Damon’s words were not just nonsense.
“How much do you know?”
At this point, Victoria couldn’t help but become interested in Damon.
“To what extent? “That’s an ambiguous statement.”
Damon sat down in his chair and crossed his legs arrogantly.
“Ask the other way around. How much do you want to know? How to kill a ghost that has come back to life after a thousand years? Or how to undo everything that has happened and go back to before?”
Victoria’s eyes wavered ever so slightly. Damon didn’t miss. The moment I was about to put the wedge in, Ruby glanced at the door.
“Matriarch Irene has arrived.”
“first of all-”
Damon said intensely, with his hands clasped in his lap.
“If you want to know that – what should I do with your crazy daughter first?”
