Chapter 6: 5

    ‘Haa, it's one challenge after another.’

    “Get up.”
    “Pardon……?”

    Luna looked up at me with round eyes. I deliberately hardened my expression even more coldly.

    “If I fall while stepping on those thin thighs, can you take responsibility?”
    “I’m, I’m sorry! So, so what do we do? Shall I lay down?”
    “Gain weight first.”
    “Yep! Gain weight quickly…… Eh?”
    “Get out of my way.”
    “Uh…… Yes.”

    Luna staggered to her feet and moved away from the carriage door. With a look of bewilderment, she glanced at the butler. However, the butler was equally perplexed. He gave Luna a look as if to take care of it.

    I climbed into the carriage pretending not to see anything. Then Luna climbed up, and after a while, the carriage started slowly.

    ‘Shall I sort out the information now?’

    1, 5 years have passed since I, the warrior, died.
    2, The demon king will never reappear.
    3, Therefore, it is highly likely that the villain in Part 2 will be a human.
    4, I must find the protagonist, the saint, as quickly as possible.
    5, Perhaps the saint has a comrade.

    Thinking this far, I rested my chin on my hand.

    ‘There is too little information.’

    Anyway, there was only one goal. To complete Part 2 in the shortest time.

    “Master.”

    At that time, Luna handed over something from a luxurious box. A top quality tobacco pipe made from obsidian.

    “It's the finest tobacco leaf from Persona, you'll like it.”
    “…….”

    I…….

    I, no, this body was a heavy smoker.
 

    I had never smoked a cigarette in my original world, and neither had I since I moved into the novel. No one, including me, was allowed to smoke in front of me. It was because of a comrade who suffered from asthma as a child.

    “I don't want to. Clean it up.”
    “Yes, Master.”

    The carriage entered the Imperial Palace.

    ‘A lot has changed here too…….’

    Indeed. Many buildings were collapsed and destroyed by the demonic beasts, so they had no choice but to build new ones. Still, the old look didn't completely disappear. Watching it brought back memories.

    Escaping the Imperial Palace with Leonhart and drinking beer. Wandering all day after going into the maze garden with Owen by mistake. Blowing up a tower while trying to make magic items with Ruspel.

    ‘The tower is the same?’

    The tower, which had had its roof blown off when the punitive forces and the Imperial Palace left, was now intact.

    ‘Why did they leave that there?’

    The other buildings were changed to a magnificent Gothic style, except for that tower, which was built of plain red bricks.

    ‘It's been a while since I've been itching.’

    As an architect, my hands were itchy when I saw buildings that did not fit the atmosphere. I wanted to draw the blueprint again.

    ‘I hope my hands haven’t got stiff…….’

    I cracked my knuckles and smirked.

    In Part 1, whenever there was a gap, I would scribble designs on napkins or on the dirt floor. Because I thought I could go back soon.

    ‘But I moved on to Part 2. Damn it.’

    The carriage stopped. Luna hurriedly got down and held out her hand.

    “Master, would you like to get off?”
    “Stand by here.”
    “Pardon? Ah, I understand. Please have a safe trip, Master.”

    I left Luna behind and headed to the conference room. The exterior of the building had changed, but the internal structure was the same as before, so it was not difficult to find. When I entered the conference room, the noise completely disappeared. The people who had already gathered opened their eyes wide and paid attention to me.

    “Heok! Isn't that Duke Ibrante?”
    “Oh oh, that's right. When was the last time the duke attended a meeting? Isn't it quite a while?”
    “She stopped going to the Imperial Palace 5 years ago. I heard that her health was really bad.”
    “She must have recovered now. She's still beautiful. Don't you think the nickname ‘Ice Rose’ is quite fitting?”
    “Well, I think a venomous snake would be more appropriate.”
    “Ehem! You better watch your mouth. There are many ears here.”

    Those who favored me, those who cared about me, those who secretly sarcasm.

    The conference room became noisy talking about mme. My ears were itchy. I stood by the window at the end of the conference room. I didn't have the confidence to dig between the nobles and go to the center.

    After a while, the conference room door opened and a tall man appeared.

    ‘Leonhart?’

    My first comrade and the Third Prince of the Empire, Leonhart Genetic Philio.

    ‘Why is he so big?’

    The past Leonhart looked much better suited to the nickname ‘Leona’ than his original name. But now…….

    ‘Who would think he was a sickly pretty boy. Men change drastically when they get older.’

    While not seeing him, Leonhart had turned into a perfect man. Even though he was wearing a suit, it was easy to see that his body was made of solid muscles. The atmosphere had also changed quite a bit. Just standing still, he gave off a refined sense of intimidation.

    It was the energy of a great sword that was made by quenching hot iron thousands and tens of thousands of times.

    ‘No, how can he be more handsome than before?’

    Black eyes and dark hair that seemed to have separated the cleanest and clearest part of the night sky. The skin was spotless and the nose bridge had a perfect angle and height.

    In the past, he was pretty enough to attract attention everywhere, but it was amazing to see that he had a masculine sensuality added to it. My nose was tingling for no reason.

    ‘I didn't raise him, but he grew up well.’

    I looked around in excitement. Look at this, isn't my child wonderful?

    ‘……?’

    What's wrong with them? The nobles looked very timid, let alone impressed by Leonhart's appearance. There was a sense of tension.

    ‘I see. I saw him for the first time today, but I'm sure they saw him often.’

    The nobles all bowed their heads toward Leonhart.

    “We greet the third light of Philio, Your Highness the Prince.”

    ‘6 years ago, he was a neglected Third Prince.……. Damn, he’s come a long way.’

    Leonhart's gaze, which had been indifferently scanning the nobles, stopped at me.

    ‘Ack!’

    I lowered my half-raised hand in a hurry. I almost said hello because I was so happy to see him. No matter how different Leonhart was from before, he was still a small and lovely friend to me.

    Well…… He’s grown a little taller. About 190cm.

    ‘But did something bad happen?’

    Far from smiling, I felt a slight irritation in his expressionless face.

    Why is his expression so grim?

    ‘Smile, Leona. You're so pretty when you smile.’

    Leonhart looked away.

    “Let's start the meeting.”

    ‘His voice has gotten deeper.’

    The voice with a low and rich echo automatically made my ears twitch. It was terribly dry and cold, but probably because he was in a bad mood.

    Anyway, Leonhart grew up so well. I'm so proud of everything.

    How different have the other comrades been? I'll be able to see them one day, right?

    “It's about making a golden statue of the hero Adela Helsington to be installed in the Great Square. Please refer to the documents we are handing out now because they are about the overall production.”

    The servant handed out the documents to the nobles. The documents included the budget and production period. As it is a special production, there was also a rule that it would be carried out unanimously.

    Leonhart, who gave the nobles a moment to review, continued.

    “So let's start voting now. Those who oppose it, raise your hand.”

    ‘Eh? You said it's a meeting! Aren't we going to discuss the pros and cons from now on?’

    Is it okay to vote so transparently?

    I looked around at the nobles. Of course they were against it…….

    ‘Wh, what!’

    Ridiculous, no one raised their hand.

    ‘Why don't you object? That's too much money! Are you really going to pass through a crazy plan to put diamonds in the eyes and carve the lips in rubies? This is a waste of manpower, a waste of taxes!’

    If I stay still, a jeweled statue of me, who was a warrior, which will be enlarged by about six times, will be created.

    ‘Te, terrible!’

    “There is no objection. Then, the bill is passed unanimously-”
    “I object.”
