Episode 439
As long as Master Nana lives, Iskandar will not be able to rule the Western Continent.
That means, once we die, we can change everything back to our liking.
Iskandar wanted to live and he wanted to kill me, so he figured out a way. And the answer he came up with was only one.
Going to the Eastern Continent.
I don’t know how much of his memories from his past life he has recovered.
But it becomes simpler when you consider that all of this was someone’s intention.
The situation was created so that the ‘genius’ named Iskandar would have to go to the Eastern Continent.
Strictly speaking, there was no need to know what kind of memory the guy saw, because I could infer it from the results.
He didn’t even meet me. We just talked from a distance using clairvoyance.
How do you figure out what powers I have?
It’s impossible. Because I was one level stronger than Iskandar.
When I see someone one level higher in power, I feel nothing but a sense of intimidation. That is the world of transcendent beings.
It was only a one step difference, but Iskandar ‘expected’ it to be two steps.
The guy didn’t check my strength properly. He couldn’t check it accurately.
I was so scared that I ran away to the Eastern Continent.
He knows about the monsters that invaded the Western Continent. He thought there must be some solution there, so he moved on.
This is causality, the flow, and inevitability.
Just as he was trying to go to the Eastern Continent, I must also go to the Eastern Continent unconditionally.
“Why should I go?”
“… … I think the part you mentioned earlier as a clue is a big hint.”
I nodded and looked into the guy’s eyes.
He said, “You figure out the rest yourself,” but Aveiro, who was quick-witted, soon opened his eyes wide.
I noticed it.
“… … Time, my goodness. It’s time.”
I lock eyes with Aveiro. He looks at me with trembling eyes.
“This could be a clue to extending Valentine’s lifespan… Is that right?”
Embarrassingly, that’s right.
“At least that’s how I feel about the flow. I feel like this is inevitable. Do you understand now why I said there would be a war?”
“Yes. That is one of the variables. The one with the highest probability.”
He nodded.
What if Tulcan’s power had been intact?
Couldn’t we have stopped those chimeras that we saw through fragments of memory?
I guarantee you that you will never be able to stop it.
“… … So that’s why Valentine has to be here.”

“It would be nice if the invasion didn’t happen. But if it does, we’ll all be dead. You, our children, and our sisters will all die. It would be nice if preparations for war ended up being a simple happening, but there’s a higher chance that it won’t. We have to prepare.”
I only brag about my looks, but I’m also smart. And in my opinion, Aveiro is a really nice guy.
I opened the subspace, took out all the elixirs, and handed them to the guy.
“Our teacher is very angry right now. I’ll give it to you depending on the situation.”
“Is this… … that thing?”
He didn’t say much. He just opened a bottle and forced it into Aveiro’s mouth.
Aveiro opens his eyes wide as he swallows an entire bottle of elixir without knowing it. What happened next was surprising.
Aveiro’s body began to change little by little.
The wrinkles on my face smoothed out, my skin brightened, and my bones fell back into place.
It’s not quite a complete transformation, but if we had to put a word to it, how about a complete transformation?
If you think about it, wasn’t this also a kind of bait?
I dug up the dragons’ lairs that I had never even thought of looking for in my previous life. And there I found an elixir. It means that the period of time that the Master can use his power can be extended.
And somehow, a situation was created where the elixir could be handed over to the Master. There was the trustworthy Aveiro. Through him, the elixir would eventually be handed over to the Master. If that wasn’t inevitable, then what was?
Aveiro’s body, which had been quite dry, became elastic. He also gained muscle. This is the power of the elixir.
“……this……?”
“I told you before. I can take care of one.”
“My lord… … I think this is too much of a gift.”
I shook my head. I have work to do, so I have to think about my health.
There are now 5 bottles left.
“I’m going right away, so take care.”
Others might have thought I would never return, but not Aveiro.
He bowed his head politely, holding the elixir in his arms.
“Have a nice day, my lord.”
As I was about to leave, I turned my head for a moment.
Come to think of it.
“How far did my sister and Jindo go?”
Abeiro swallows in embarrassment.
I was so flustered that I almost dropped the elixir I was holding on the floor.
“So, how far did you go?”
“… … I couldn’t go out much. I didn’t have much time… … .”
My son. The more I think about him, the more amazing he is.
I covet my lord’s sister… … .

“He’s really something.”

Chapter 4
I had this thought. It’s been quite a while.
My sister and I were eating together at a restaurant near Ascendant Estate. The menu was spaghetti.
Strangely, I felt drawn to the noodles.
Actually, there wasn’t that much time like this. It’s been a month or two since my sister and I had a meal together, so the word “long time” was definitely quite appropriate.
I was a little embarrassed. About 80% of the reason the Tulcan Empire collapsed was because I made my sister like that in the future. Hmm.
“Isn’t it difficult?”
“Is that your first question?”
He scratched his chin.
In fact, we didn’t just have a one-on-one meeting, but there were many times when we got together to eat and chat.
But out of all that time, we intentionally avoided one topic.
Now my sister was talking. Let’s talk about that topic.
But do I have anything to say?
“They say Aveiro didn’t make much progress.”
“huh.”
Silence falls again.
The awkward silence felt quite unfamiliar.
“Aveiro is thirty-four this year.”
“Thirty-five.”
I almost swallowed the words that our age gap was quite big, because it was not my place to talk about others.
“What attracted you to it?”
“He was just so dependable. And the way he worked seemed trustworthy.”
“He’s good at his job.”
My sister asked with a smile.
“As our relationship progresses, what will happen with the title issue?”
If we follow common sense, assuming that Aveiro marries his older sister, I would be Aveiro’s brother-in-law, and Aveiro would be my brother-in-law.
That’s how it should be.
“It’s okay for my sister to marry Aveiro. When people love each other, there shouldn’t be any obstacles. But.”
“however?”
“Even if the two of you get married, I will never call Aveiro ‘brother-in-law.’ Aveiro will never call me ‘brother-in-law.’ If Aveiro ever calls me ‘brother-in-law,’ I will kill Aveiro at that moment.”
“… … Are you kidding?”
Unfortunately, no.
“A powerful person calling the emperor his brother-in-law, do you know what this means, sister?”
“… … I know.”
That’s why I didn’t want to talk about this topic. But I can’t stop talking about it.

So, while we’re on the subject, I’ll just say it all.
“Aveiro knows what kind of man I am. I know Aveiro. Right now, the position of prime minister is enough for him. He doesn’t need to rise above that, and he shouldn’t rise above that. He knows that himself.”
“… … .”
“So the guy will try to keep the line. But Aveiro calls me brother-in-law? That means he’s greedy. What should I do then? I have to kill him.”
Aveiro told me a while ago that if he ever falls under power, he should be killed, and with my own hands.
It’s a shame to hear that, but that’s what I was planning to do originally.
Because the founding of a nation must not be a child’s play. The world that the Master dreamed of and the world that I created must be solid. That solidity begins at the top.
Aveiro knows that. Although I have shown him many times that I care for his people, I will not hesitate to throw a sack of sand if necessary.
Knowing that, the guy pays attention to every little thing and sticks to the line he draws.
My older sister just didn’t know.
That’s the distance between the top echelons of power and those below.
“You’re serious.”
“Oh. Seriously.”
I looked blankly at my older sister.
It may be a little late, but it’s a question that needed to be asked.
“You won’t throw away the name Valantier, will you?”
My older sister is quick-witted. She quickly figured out what I meant.
“Choose whether or not you want to rise to the top of the power ladder, is that it?”
Institutionally, there are three major power strata in the current Milos Empire.
The top floor is the Imperial House of Milos. Below that are the nobles, and at the very bottom are the commoners.
The middle class includes the nobility, including the Grand Duke. Among them, there will be a top class and a lower class.
The most important thing is not the power structure divided among the middle classes.
The class that is at the very top of the system and holds absolute power. That is the Milos Imperial Family.
That’s what I’m talking about.
“… … Do you know that what you’re saying right now is very dangerous?”
I know. I said it with my own mouth, so there’s no way I wouldn’t know.
“Lord Valentine said so. He said he would not sit on the Emperor’s throne.”
“That’s what you said.”
“And it’s only been an hour since you were crowned. And I’m changing my last name to Milos? And now you’re telling me this?”
I scratched my chin again this time. I’ve felt this way before, but my older sister is definitely smart.
Now, my older sister just listened to the context and understood everything. First of all, the first thing.
“You’ve already been the first Marquis, so now you want me to be the Empress Elizabeth, the first Empress? You’ll leave all the heavy burdens to me?”
“Who passed the buck to me? I just gave them a choice.”
“How is that a choice?”
My sister’s eyes were furrowed. It was a clear sign that she was angry. Yes, this is the second reason why my sister is smart.

“Where are you going to die now? Why are you talking nonsense all of a sudden?”
I’ve been feeling this lately, but my older sister’s speech seems to have gotten a little harsher. She wasn’t like this before.
“So that’s why I said there would be no need to call you brother-in-law. Of course, that wouldn’t happen when you become the emperor, but the moment I become the empress, you won’t be here. There won’t be anyone to call you brother-in-law. That was a double-edged sword. Why are you really like that? Are you really going to die?”
He said with a smile.
“Well, I should get insurance too.”
“insurance?”
“If I can’t come back, you can do it for me.”
“… … .”
“My older sister will become the emperor, that is, the empress, and Aveiro will become the queen of the country.”
