630.
Early moning.
Thump-thud-thud-
Carl woke up to the sound of something hitting the window and stood up.
“Huh!”
Karl yawned with a wet face and came out of the blanket, scratching his stomach.
When Carl opened the window of his room, a cold winter wind blew.
“Ugh~ It’s cold today too. cold.”
Kal’s hometown, the Kingdom of Moira, is located in the central part of the continent, bordering the northern part.
The cold wind blowing from the northern part of the continent made me feel sleepy, and the sword wrapped around my body shivered.
Grumble- Grumble-
In front of the window, a hawk with two leather pouches hanging from its paws was looking at Carl.
Windhawk.
It was a low-level phantom beast with wind attributes.
Their main job was delivering goods and letters.
Carl took out a newspaper from the windhawk’s leather pouch and put a gold coin into the coin pocket.
A jingling sound rang out cheerfully.
“I heard I also achieved success. “I subscribe to these expensive newspapers.”
Even though windbreakers are low-class, they are definitely a return.
The usage fee is that high.
If you don’t pay for newspapers just because they’re expensive, or if you try to grab money, you could end up in a bad situation.
“Should we try this service in Lumern as well?”
I sniffled, thought of a new business item, and closed the window.
Carl, holding the newspaper at his side, left the room and went downstairs.
“Mom, give me food~”
Carl, who came down to the kitchen on the first floor while yawning, had no choice but to collapse as soon as he saw the scene unfolding on the table.
“Prince Duran, Princess Helan, this is the most luxurious car we have in our house.”
“It smells good.”
“I’m honored that it suits your taste. Oh hohoho.”
Carl’s older sister, Kiria Thomas, was pouring tea for a young blonde girl sitting at one of the tables.
For reference, the tea was the highest quality tea drunk by the elves that Carl had rescued.
“I don’t know if the food will suit my taste. “Prince Duran.”
“It’s very delicious.”
“I feel rewarded for my skill.”
Carl’s mother, Karen, was serving breakfast to the blonde boy who was now starting to look like an adult.
Although he had an expression that seemed cold, his tone was gentle.
Duran, the handsome boy who wiped his mouth, looked pitiful as he looked at the knife lying on the floor.
“You’re late.”
“Why are you eating breakfast calmly at my house?”
Karl, who managed to get up, scratched his head and said.
Duran said, looking at the knife and moistening his mouth with tea.
“You must have told me before vacation, right? “You will be doing combat training with me.”
“Were you really going to do that?”
“joy. “Are you planning on getting a special promotion when you reach 4th or 5th grade?”
Although he was promoted to the third year as a hero this time, it was only a special case for the board of directors.
Although he passed the written exam, Carl received a failing grade in the practical exam.
In the end, there was only one reason why Carl failed.
This was due to a lack of individual combat power.
Of course, the sword’s combat power is not completely poor.
“I don’t think I’m at the level where I can go anywhere and get beaten up.”
“Is there anyone in your class you can handle?”
“Then I have nothing to say.”
“I do not expect you to defeat your enemy. But at least it should be at a level where you can withstand any situation without getting hit right away.”
‘That’s the truth.’
Carl asked, unable to answer.
“Prince. “I can’t believe you care so much about our son.”
Karen looked touched.
Seeing Karen like that, Helan smiled brightly.
“Kal is a very important person in the Kingdom of Moira. “Not only has he risen to the status of a hero, but he is also one of my brother’s most precious friends.”
“Phew. As expected, you didn’t have many friends… … Argh! surrender! surrender!”
Carl, whose wrist was broken for no reason, let out a scream.
Seeing that scene, Helan put her hands together.
“iced coffee. I can’t believe my brother is living so casually. “I am so happy that my brother is able to maintain such an equal relationship with people his age.”
Duran clicked his tongue at Helan’s words and let go of Cal’s wrist.
Looking at that scene, Karl massaged his wrist and muttered.
‘Definitely, when I first entered school, I was a completely maverick person who made a living by ignoring others. ‘At first he thought it was simply a sense of royal authority.’
Although they were full of competitiveness and fighting spirit, they also knew how to accept others.
That kind of attitude at the beginning of the first year might have been because there were no truly equal people around me.

‘It’s changed a lot.’
If you were a first year student, it would be unthinkable for you to come to your home and have a meal as a commoner.
‘Well, no matter what anyone says, he’s the guy that Leo approved.’
“You are the prince’s friend. “I succeeded.”
“I know.”
Carl sighed as Keira giggled.
Carl sat down next to Duran.
After opening the new bottle, I drank water and checked the contents.
“Puhup?!”
When I saw the article featured on the first page, I squirted water without realizing it.
Duran, who completely covered it up, grabbed Carl by the collar.
“Cough! Cough! Hey! Calm down and look at this!”
Carl calmed the case and showed Duran the newspaper.
Duran’s eyes grew unusually wide as he checked the contents of the newspaper.
“Leo Plov… … !”
And his expression became slightly distorted.
<A nightmare from the past! Subjugating Hero Slayer.>
Subjugators: Leo Plov, Lis Gerdinger, Ulta Legition, Lee Jamua, Abad Lwalin, Celia Gerdinger, Chelsea Lwalin.
<Blood on Gerdinger!>
<Leo Plov, the rightful heir to the throne of Tunkon!>
Carl stuck out his tongue as he looked at Duran, who was staring at the newspaper with burning eyes.
“Leo, you have a fancy winter vacation, right? “By the way, you are the heir to the throne.”
“Carl, it’s morning.”
“Oh!”
Carl, who was shaking his head excitedly, looked happy when he saw the bread, bacon, and salad served for breakfast.
The moment you hold your fork and are about to eat.
Hot-!
“Huh?”
“There is no time to idle around, Carl Thomas. “It’s training.”
“I need to eat breakfast?”
“After training in the morning.”
“no! “You can do it alone!”
Carl screamed, but Duran, consumed by his burning competitive spirit, did not listen.
“To see my brother moving into the future with his best friend. “I am so happy.”
Looking at Helan, who was moved, Karl cried out inwardly.
‘Is this your best friend? ‘Is this your best friend?’
***
Palak-!
Elena leisurely checked the newspaper with her legs crossed and smiled.
“You’re doing well, Leo.”
Albee said those words.
“It’s going to be blue.”
“It will be blue.”
Most people paid attention to the reappearance of the Hero Slayer, who was known to have disappeared in the past, and to Leo and the party accompanying him, who defeated the Hero Slayer.
However, what Elena noticed was that Leo had inherited the throne of Tungken.
Others may dismiss it as simply inheriting the legacy of their ancestors.
‘But if it’s the Leo I know… … no. If you are the hero of the beginning.’
Elena, who vaguely realized Leo’s identity during the last Hero’s Festival, was able to predict Leo’s future moves.
‘We will build a force to fight against Tartarus.’
Tartarus cannot be fought with only the power of a few heroes.
And to fight against Tartarus, great power is needed.
A combined force.
‘So what Leo-kun was trying to create was a guild.’
A guild founded by like-minded heroes.
It is a powerful force in itself.
However, when Leo set his goal of creating a hero guild, more people than expected were wary of him and kept him in check.
The reason is simple.
If an unprecedented being named Leo creates a hero guild and increases its reputation, the current balance of power will collapse.
Leo’s goal is to completely subdue Erebos.
It is the world’s wish, but not many people want that wish to come true in their own generation.
‘But maybe now our generation will face the disaster of an all-out war with Erebos.’
That was the trend of the times.
Cracks are slowly appearing in the long-standing peace.
There may be some who feel it clearly, but there are many who do not.
‘The moment they admit that, they will have to let go of much of what they have enjoyed.’
Elena smiled coldly.
There were many people who would check Leo’s growing power for reasons of interest.
However, Leo suddenly inherited the empty kingdom.
Of course, when looking at the continent as a whole, its external power is minimal.
but… … .
‘It is significant that a large force has emerged that follows Leo-kun’s wishes.’
It will also be possible to quickly increase power based on the Tunkon Kingdom.
‘I won’t be inheriting the throne right away. First of all, we have gained a certain power.’
Elena grinned.
“It’s going to be fun in the future.”
***
“My son has succeeded. He becomes the king of a country.”
Reina smiled.
Leo asked while looking at Reina.
“How are you feeling?”
“huh. “It’s okay now.”
“What about fireworks?”
“If I don’t overdo it, I don’t think it will eat away at my body or anything.”
The Hero Slayer was completely killed by Leo’s sword, and Reina regained her spark.
It’s not just Raina.
Torua was also able to regain his magic.
The past hero slayer has disappeared.
It is said that none of Zorua’s surviving victims regained their abilities.
‘It’s probably because he was revived by the power of the Demon King.’
Zorua is a dead person who should not have existed in the first place.
Such a being came back to life by going against the laws of the world.
Such Zorua disappeared from existence due to Leo’s pure auror.
‘Because of that, the stolen power itself may have returned to its original place.’
I don’t know the exact details, but in any case, it was fortunate for Torua.
In Raina’s case… … .
“Isn’t it a pity?”
“huh. “Now the resentment has been relieved.”
Although he regained his spark, his body suffered a great deal from fighting too hard in the battle with Zorua.
There will be no disruption to daily life.
However, it was difficult to handle his regained aura.
If you use the flame, your body will collapse.
“It was a spectacular battle, as expected for my last. how is it? This mom? She was such a hero, wasn’t she?”
“… … “Very much.”
“Isn’t it an honor that my son acknowledges me?”
Reina smiled.
“Leo.”
“yes.”
“No matter what anyone says, you are my son. “That fact remains the same.”
“… … yes.”
“Hehe! boy.”
Reina patted Leo’s head.
Then, suddenly, a puzzled expression appeared.
“Now that I think about it, you. “You said you were changing the name of the kingdom you will inherit?”
“yes.”
“Don’t you like the existing name?”
“Not really. “There is a name I really want to make.”
“huh? What?”
“Arhi.”
“Arhi?”
“It’s a name that means beginning.”
“Huh? “You mean well.”
“Yes?”
Leo grinned.
Arhi.
That was the name of the Erebos punitive force led by Lysinas a long time ago.
