Chapter 330: 330

Chapter 330

The shocking news about the Swallow and Hubalt Empires forming an alliance once again spread among a few people with power.

Meanwhile, Lucifer stood in a pitch-black room in the castle of Erhaim, formerly known as Reinhardt. His blazing scarlet hair was lit only by the light of the crystal ball he stood in front of.

“How are you?” he asked with a sly smile.

-I can’t say I’m well, thanks to someone.

The Martial Emperor’s words had a bite to them even through the crystal ball, making Lucifer’s smile deepen.

“We’ve united again, so don’t be too harsh,” Lucifer remarked with a chuckle and a shrug. The Martial Emperor snorted.

-You should never think I did that because I trust you.

“Of course you do.” Lucifer’s easy nod made the Martial Emperor frown discontentedly.

-How are you going to fulfill our promise?

“All the people in the continent know the news of the Hubalt Empire finally occupying Erhaim, so isn’t having Erhaim enough? Our soldiers have already exited Erhaim and gathered along the border of the Avalon Empire.”

Despite that, the Martial Emperor smirked.

-Well, you never know. You people might attack our land while pretending to attack the Avalon Empire.

“You have zero trust in me,” Lucifer plaintively replied.

-If you’re going to keep joking around, then the deal is off...

“We’re going to hit the Avalon Empire right away with or without the Hubalt Empire army,” Lucifer declared as soon as the Martial Emperor finished speaking.

The Martial Emperor’s eyes widened.

-What...?

“We mobilized all our soldiers out of Erhaim for that, including the Swallow Empire’s proud Ice Emperor. Wouldn’t that be enough to end this squabble about trusting each other?” Lucifer shrugged.

The Martial Emperor was astounded.

-The Swallow Empire is going to attack the Avalon Empire alone? Why so suddenly? Why would you bother taking the risk? You know, the Hubalt Empire might betray the Swallow Empire this time—and on top of that, the Avalon Empire is just a white elephant.

“Think of it as paying back your trust,” Lucifer said, cocking his head. “We can take care of the Avalon Empire on our own anyways.”

The Martial Emperor narrowed his eyes.

-What are you going to do if the Dark God shows up?

“Are you scared of him?” Lucifer said, grinning.

-What?

“That would be very disappointing... The Martial Emperor beat the Knight of God, but he’s now afraid...?” Lucifer trailed off, but the Martial Emperor was not blind to what the Grand Duke was up to. Lucifer’s opposite snorted.

-Stop trying to provoke me, you’re bad at it. Unlike you, I know loyalty. You didn’t forget about our promise, did you?

“I’ve already upheld the promise,” Lucifer said, so firmly that he sounded cold. That made the Martial Emperor’s eyes widen a bit.

“You mentioned the promise. Well, you know, the Dark God wanted to disappear from this world, but in contrast, the Darkness Emperor wished to come to the light along with the members of his organization. We wanted this tiring power dynamic of three empires to come to an end. Thus the four of us made more than one promise, didn’t we?”

Lucifer reminiscing earned him a growl from the Martial Emperor.

-Are you getting sentimental all of a sudden? Why are you dredging up the past?

“Ah...”

“How can such beauty exist...?”

People all around her marveled, and some just held their breath. It was their first time meeting such a beautiful woman.

“I see I haven’t introduced myself.” The woman’s voice echoed throughout the silent room, clear as the sky itself. “My name is Iceline zin Rebrecca. I am in charge of authenticating the imperial seal as you requested.”

“T-the Cold-Blooded Slayer!”

The nobles loudly murmured among themselves. All of them had heard the rumor of the lady from the fallen earl’s family. In the Empire of Knights, a girl was born with an extraordinary gift for magic, but the girl was now known to be the most beautiful woman on the continent and just as merciless.

“...Indeed.” Kaiser pulled himself back together and smiled. “The rumors I heard are quite true. Anyhow, I really didn’t expect to run into the hero from our Avalon Empire. It’s truly fortunate news. To be honest, I was a little worried because it’s not easy to let outsiders handle the imperial seal of our Empire, although we have to do so for the authentication.”

Kaiser hinted at Iceline’s origins to try to make her feel like she was one of them, the people of the Avalon. Iceline saw through Kaiser’s plan immediately and coldly smiled.

“The Magic Tower is a supranational organization. We aren’t part of any country.”

Kaiser’s eyebrow rose, almost imperceptibly.

“Everyone on the continent knows about this,” Iceline continued, “and I’m here as a member of the Magic Tower right now.”

“How dare you...!” One of the nobles pointed at Iceline with a reddened face. Even if she was right, how could she say such a thing before a prince?

“...Hah.” Theta quietly chuckled. Although he already knew her temper, it seemed to be worse today. But of course, Theta could assume why she was acting like this.

“Joshua truly has everything,” Theta mumbled in a way that only he could understand.

Kaiser was uncharacteristically hesitant, thrown off by the clear line Iceline had drawn.

“Will you answer my question now?” Iceline asked.

“You know, I’m actually the one who wants to ask a question,” Kaiser said, changing.

“...What?” Iceline narrowed her eyes.

“Fair, objective, neutral... you’re acting noble in every possible way, but you’re saying god-knows-who has the real imperial seal?” Kaiser shook his head in disbelief.

“...That’s the truth. If you want, I’ll make a mana vow.” Iceline offered.

“You claim that your friend has the real imperial seal, I’m not sure what that claim is based on. I don’t even know who that friend is.” Kaiser gave Iceline a heavy look. “You’ll see it soon, but the imperial seal is being stored in a way that does not require assistance from anyone. Thus, no one can tamper with it.”

Iceline shook her head. “I’m not saying my friend recently acquired it. My friend has been keeping the imperial seal for the past three years—since the civil war broke out.”

Kaiser was struck dumb by Iceline’s statement.

“Okay, let’s say you’re right, Lady Iceline. But isn’t that still a problem in its own way? Only the emperor of the great Avalon Empire is allowed to carry the imperial seal, but a person that isn’t related to His Majesty in any way has the imperial seal...?”

The more Kaiser continued, the more tension filled the air. Some hot-tempered knights had their hands on the hilts of their swords, ready to draw them any second.

“Who in the world is your friend?” Kaiser demanded.

“It’s me,” someone else interrupted as if they’d been waiting for that moment.

From within the warp gate in the center of the Imperial Palace, a man stepped out.

When Kaiser realized who the man was, he erupted into a fury.

“You bastard...!” he growled.

Almost as if it had been planned, all the nobles went silent at once. On the other hand, like the flower sprouting from the snow, Iceline broke into a glowing smile.

“Joshua!”
