826.
The Lumerun Academy campus where most of the students have left for Lumeria City.
Leo, who had walked around the empty school, returned to the student council president’s office.
Chen Xia followed Leo into the student council office and said.
“What is your vacation schedule, Do-Riong Leo?”
“I’m thinking of going on a trip during the week off to get my hair done.”
“aha.”
“I think I’ll be busy preparing for the coronation next time.”
The currently vacant throne of the Resenteng Province.
Leo, a descendant of the royal family of Tungken, once known as the Principality of the Sword, is about to be crowned as the rightful heir to the throne of the Resenteng region.
Originally, this coronation was a very large event.
It was a place to formally declare the founding of a new kingdom under the name of Arhi.
Moreover, the one who sits on the throne is Leo Plov, the youngest student council president in Lumerin and a hero.
And that’s not all.
A being officially recognized as the successor to the hero of the beginning, Kyle, and possessing the pure mana trait that can be called the natural enemy of Erebos.
For this alone, Leo has continued to be praised by the public.
It was originally a grand event attended by all the highest-ranking officials of all human nations.
But Leo’s status became even more special due to an incident that occurred a few months ago.
King of Beginnings, Leo Plov.
That was the word that was used to describe Leo at the moment.
The Deviant incident has been mentioned less and less frequently over time.
However, the story of Leo, who was chosen as the successor to the King of Wisdom, Lisinas, and ascended to the throne of the world, continued.
Of course, even with Lisina’s approval, not everyone acknowledged Leo.
Especially among those with a strong desire for power, there will certainly be those who do not recognize Leo.
There will be a considerable number of people in power who perceive that the mere presence of someone above them is problematic for their authority and power.
The world is full of all kinds of people.
‘Even so, it is not a situation where we can deny Leo to the public.’
Chen Xia thought to herself.
It has absolute support from the majority of the world.
Now that Melina has officially supported Leo, it’s hard to go against her wishes.
Nowadays, there is no one who does not know the name Leo Plov.
So, it is not simply the birth of a small kingdom of heroes.
It was literally a coronation that the whole world was watching.
It will likely be a place where not only the powerful figures of the human race but also high-ranking officials of each race will participate.
Of course, Chen Xia also participates as the next successor to the Shan Empire.
“You will be even busier when you become king.”
Leo clicked his tongue lightly at Chen Xia’s words.
“I have no intention of reigning. I have no intention of being a king.”
“Would you be foolish? After all, Leo is the king. The kingdom of Shin Arhi will be at peace.”
Chen Xia smiled brightly.
“But once you become king, it will be difficult for you to escape from your duties as king.”
Leo chuckled at those words.
“Mind your own country. In terms of land mass, your country is much larger than mine.”
Just because he’s the King of Shadows doesn’t mean he doesn’t do his job as emperor properly.
No, most of the Shan emperors were excellent if viewed only as monarchs.
They are beings who have guarded the shadows of the world with their beliefs for thousands of years.
Therefore, it was impossible to become emperor without meeting the relatively high qualifications.
Chen Xia, who will ascend to the throne as the next Emperor of Shan, must also bear a burden that is no less, if not more, than Leo.
Chen Xia smiled brightly at Leo’s words.
“Am I the same person who carries the entire world on his shoulders? In a way, even the Shan Empire was carried by Leo Do-Lord.”
Leo, sitting down, rested his chin on his hand and spoke in a calm voice.
“If you just defeat Erebos, I can give the throne to anyone. You can even give it to Celia.”
If you look at the family tree alone, Celia is also a member of the royal family of the Arhi Kingdom.
Chen Xia said at Leo’s words.
“I don’t think Lord Sith would like that. He only works for Lord Leo. Wouldn’t he want Lord Leo’s child to become the next king?”
“So what? Are you going to give birth?”
“If possible.”
Leo looked at Chen Xia with a dumbfounded expression.
“After all, the Shan Empire needs a successor.”
Chen Xia smiled brightly and stood up straight.
And he raised his hand and pressed it to his chest and said.
“I swore to myself from the moment that Master Leo pulled me out of the endless darkness. I would live for Master Leo.”
Chen Xia looked straight into Leo’s red eyes and said.
“I will live my whole life as your shadow. Of course, I will not abandon my external responsibilities. When you need me, when you want me. I intend to always put you first.”
Chen Xia smiled brightly.
“From the moment you reached out and took my hand, I was yours.”
It’s not because he’s a benefactor who gave me grace.

‘I guess I’m in love.’
“Why do you insist on saying something like that?”
Chen Xia said at Leo’s words.
“Because I don’t want to regret it.”
Leo knew very well what she meant by not wanting to regret it.
The two women who loved him must have deeply regretted it.
“And I hope Leo doesn’t feel sad either.”
When I found out about Lisinas and Luna’s feelings too late.
It was sad for Leo too.
“Decisively.”
“Decisively?”
“Leo, you are the kind of person who wouldn’t understand unless you say it like this… … .”
Leo put Chen Xia in a headlock.
“This thing keeps crawling up and down as it gets older.”
“Ha, I surrender! I surrender!”
Chen Xia struggled, urgently hitting Leo’s arm.
After being punished by Leo for a long time, Chen Xia said after breaking away from Leo.
“Anyway. I wanted to tell you how I feel. Not because you’re the savior of the world, but simply because you are, you’re precious to me.”
“okay?”
“Yes, so, Leo, I want to make you happy.”
“Happiness… … .”
Leo chuckled.
Looking at that sight, Chen Xia smiled slightly bitterly.
Chen Xia knows.
That Leo isn’t living a happy life right now.
That doesn’t mean I’m living an unhappy life.
Why Leo is not happy.
‘Because I have work to do.’
It is no exaggeration to say that the task of completely subjugating Erebos is Leo’s everything.
There’s nothing I can do.
‘Because Leo was the only one born with the power to defeat Erebos.’
Whether it’s fate or destiny.
Leo had no choice but to fight Erebos.
‘For Leo… this world is everything to him.’
To be precise, it was evidence that he had risked everything together with his colleagues.
To save the world.
I had to watch the sacrifice of friends who were more precious than the world.
From Leo’s point of view, it would be impossible to ignore that world.
‘Even if he receives love from his family… … even if he spends time laughing and chatting with his friends… … Leo will not be able to fully enjoy that time.’
I dare not say that I can fully fathom Leo’s feelings.
But since Chen Xia had lived in the darkness, she could imagine a little bit.
Erebos’s presence is imprinted on Leo like a curse.
‘And… even if we subdue Erebos, the vacancy won’t be filled.’
There are no other great heroes except Leo.
That’s the truth.
Leo will have to live his whole life feeling an emptiness in his heart.
Chen Xia hated it.
The man in front of you has the right to enjoy the world more than anyone else.
He was the person who should have been happier than anyone else.
That’s why Chen Xia wanted the man named Leo Flov to be happy more than anyone else.
Someday I will accomplish all my tasks.
I wanted to create a place where Leo’s weary soul could rest.
‘I hope you can fully enjoy happiness.’
That was Chen Xia’s biggest goal.
Leo, who had been chewing on the word happiness, closed his eyes.
And said.
“I made you worry.”
When he broke away from Lisinas and ascended to the throne of the world.
Although she tried not to show it, Chen Xia seemed to have felt it secretly.
“thank you.”
“It’s my job.”
“But it’s bigger and comes back.”
“I’m an adult now, right?”
“you?”
Leo chuckled and tapped Chen Xia on the forehead.
Chen Xia, who had a blank expression for a moment, smiled brightly.
“Well, okay. Be prepared, I’m going to make it so that you won’t be able to live without me later.”
“Tsk. Don’t be so stubborn.”
Leo frowned and sat down in the student council president’s seat, pressing his temples.
This reckless brat gives me a headache.
Chen Xia, who was watching the scene, smiled brightly and asked.
“So, where are you going on your trip?”
“I’m going to a deserted island.”
It wasn’t Leo who answered.
Chen Xia looked back.
Elena was leaning against the open door of the student council office with her arms crossed.
“Just the two of us.”
“The two of us?”
Elena curled the corners of her lips as she looked at Chen Xia, who was frowning.
“Yeah, kid.”
“… … !”
Chen Xia’s eyes twitched at the provocative words.
“For your information, unlike you, I am an adult.”
“I also had a coming of age ceremony?”
“Yeah, that’s right. But you haven’t graduated yet, right? So you’re still a kid.”
“Senior Elena hasn’t graduated yet, right?”
“Yeah. But it’s the graduating class.”
Leo, who had been quietly listening to the childish conversation between the two, said.
“Adults don’t call themselves adults. You damn little kids.”
Then Elena and Chen Xia’s sharp gazes were fixed on Leo.
Under that gaze, Leo turned his head and looked out the window.
And I muttered to myself as I looked at the scenery in the distance.
‘I want to go home.’
