631.

 

After the subjugation of Joroa.

 

The Rodren Empire was thrown into complete chaos.

 

The first shock came from the news that the Hero Slayer, who was believed to have been subjugated long ago, had been resurrected and active, and the other was the revelation that Jerdinger’s Council of Elders had been in collusion with that Hero Slayer.

 

“Really. It’s a family disgrace. A family disgrace!”

 

Selia clenched her fists tightly with a face that showed her anger hadn’t subsided.

 

Watching such Selia, Chelsea, who stood beside her with arms crossed, let out a small sigh.

 

“Because of that, His Majesty the Emperor even held an imperial-hosted party after such a long time.”

 

Jerdinger was the backbone of the Rodren Empire.

 

Therefore, when Jerdinger was shaken, the aftershocks spread throughout the entire Rodren Empire.

 

Currently, Jerdinger was frantically busy with the aftermath of expelling the Council of Elders.

 

However, the internal situation wasn’t as chaotic as one might think.

 

While the Council of Elders was certainly a massive force within Jerdinger, not the entire faction led by the Council had caused problems in this incident.

 

Those who were executed were precisely the leadership that corresponded to the head.

 

“If it had escalated to civil war… I don’t even want to think about it.”

 

Selia shuddered.

 

The entire empire might have been swept up in warfare.

 

Anyway, contrary to what outsiders thought, Jerdinger’s internal situation was stable.

 

The problem was external.

 

Rumors that traitors had emerged from Jerdinger spread like wildfire throughout the entire empire.

 

Jerdinger was a family that had served as the sword and shield of the empire since the beginning of Rodren’s history.

 

Since such a disgraceful incident had occurred in Jerdinger, the empire’s citizens couldn’t help but tremble with anxiety.

 

The current world was in an overall unstable situation.

 

Rumors bred more rumors, and eventually there was a possibility that the entire empire would be shaken.

 

That’s why the Emperor of Rodren hosted a party under imperial auspices to announce Jerdinger’s strength before such a situation could occur.

 

Party invitations were sent to the nobles of the Rodren Empire and even to influential commoners who operated major trading companies.

 

“You two, what are you talking about so interestingly?”

 

At that moment, Shasha, her face covered with a fan, approached between the two.

 

With the appearance of Shasha, the next emperor of the Rodren Empire, the attention that was already focused became even more concentrated.

 

“Oh my~ All three of you are so beautiful.”

 

“Truly the flowers of the empire.”

 

“You’re already so beautiful now, how dazzling will you be when you grow up a little more?”

 

The direct descendants of Jerdinger and Rwallin.

 

And even the next ruler of the empire.

 

Not only that, but when the three people who were at the top of their year at Lumern gathered in one place, reporters were also busy taking pictures with magical artifacts.

 

“Come on, smile and wave your hands.”

 

“Why did you come here? You should go to where Brother Ris and Avad are!”

 

“That’s right, the Crown Princess should go to the future heirs who will lead the empire!”

 

Selia and Chelsea grumbled quietly so that only Shasha could hear.

 

While they had a lord-vassal relationship publicly, they were comfortable with each other as they had been friends since childhood privately.

 

“Aren’t you being too harsh to a friend? Seniors.”

 

When people’s gazes dispersed somewhat, Shasha pouted her lips.

 

“By the way, I heard Brother Ris is making a major announcement, what is it?”

 

Shasha looked at Selia with a puzzled expression and asked.

 

At those words, Selia made a troubled expression and said quietly.

 

“Brother Ris is getting married. To Senior Torua.”

 

“What?!”

 

Shasha made a shocked expression.

 

When people’s gazes focused on them for a moment, she quickly composed her expression.

 

“The chaos will definitely be settled.”

 

The heir of Jerdinger getting married was also a celebration for the empire.

 

Especially since his partner was the famous Torua Yan.

 

People who loved creating stories would surely chatter excitedly about the tale of the two who attended Lumern together as classmates.

 

The Council of Elders incident would definitely be buried somewhat for now.

 

“It’s a celebration. A celebration.”

 

“Right. It’s a celebration. Since I’ve suddenly become an aunt.”

 

“Oh my?”

 

Shasha’s eyes widened.

 

“As the future emperor of Rodren, it’s welcome news that there’s no need to worry about Jerdinger’s heir. Hohoho!”

 

Shasha, who had been laughing elegantly, slightly covered her mouth with her fan and made a sinister expression.

 

“By the way, Brother Ris is a man after all. I thought he was just a gentleman, but he went and caused trouble in that area.”

 

“He’s an adult who knows how to take responsibility.”

 

Selia, who swept back her hair, let out a small sigh.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“Oh? It’s Lord Niel and Lord Marcell.”

 

Shasha spotted Niel and Marcell who had encountered each other in the middle of the party hall.

 

Silence flowed between the two, and soon they turned around abruptly and went their separate ways.

 

Watching that scene, Shasha clicked her tongue.

 

“Lord Niel and Lord Marcell seem to have an even colder relationship than before.”

 

“I’m a bit worried too. Sister Niel was looking at Marcell’s photo recently. Every time I see her doing that, she tears the photo in half, you know?”

 

“What’s that? Some kind of curse?”

 

Shasha made a serious expression.

 

She certainly thought that if it was Niel and Marcell, who were enemies incarnate, they could do that and more.

 

Listening to the two’s conversation, Chelsea pouted her lips and muttered quietly.

 

“Is causing trouble trendy these days…?”

 

“Huh? What do you mean by that?”

 

“There’s something like that.”

 

To Selia’s question, Chelsea answered primly.

 

At that reaction, Selia and Shasha made expressions showing they didn’t understand.

 

“By the way.”

 

Shasha’s eyes sparkled as she looked around quickly.

 

“Why can’t I see Senior Leo?”

 

“Leo is busy with this and that. He said he didn’t know if he could attend the party or not.”

 

“Really? That’s quite disappointing. He’s the main topic of conversation.”

 

Shasha made a disappointed expression.

 

But on the other hand, she made an expression showing she understood.

 

“Inheriting the throne is definitely a complicated matter. I heard he’s even changing the country’s name?”

 

“Yes. The name is Arhee.”

 

“Arhee… Beginning…”

 

Shasha’s eyes sparkled.

 

“By the way, it’s somewhat scary that Senior Leo is a king.”

 

“Why is it scary?”

 

When Chelsea made a puzzled expression, Shasha giggled.

 

“Senior Leo has that famous nickname, you know.”

 

“What nickname?”

 

“Demon King.”

 

At Shasha’s words, Chelsea and Selia’s faces stiffened slightly.

 

It was a name that stuck due to the thrilling appearance he showed during their 2nd year.

 

As Chelsea and Selia shuddered while recalling Leo, who had been serious at that time.

 

The entrance to the party hall began to become noisy, and Leo appeared there.

 

Shasha clasped her hands together and let out a ‘Kyaa!’ scream as she looked at Leo dressed neatly in a white tailcoat.

 

“Senior Leo!”

 

People’s attention focused on Leo as he entered the party hall following Daid and Raina.

 

The unprecedented youngest Lumern Student Council President and currently one of the most famous heroes in the world.

 

Moreover, even after becoming a direct member of Jerdinger, he had never appeared at official events of the Rodren Empire, so interest in Leo was bound to be even more intense.

 

Selia pressed down on both shoulders of Shasha, who looked ready to clasp her hands together and jump around, and said.

 

“Maintain your dignity, Your Imperial Highness.”

 

“You see him plenty at school, so why are you making such a fuss?”

 

When Chelsea also scolded her, Shasha glared.

 

“You guys don’t understand because you’re in the same year as Senior Leo! Even the 4th and 5th year seniors can’t easily meet Senior Leo! How much more so for a freshman?”

 

At those words, Chelsea and Selia widened their eyes and looked at each other.

 

“Leo oppa certainly has little interaction with other years.”

 

Until the first semester, there had been much interaction with freshmen due to the mentor system.

 

But from the second semester, opportunities for freshmen to meet Leo had disappeared.

 

That wasn’t all.

 

Even seniors couldn’t easily see Leo.

 

The prestige that seniors hold at Lumern is powerful.

 

But even such prestige was bound to fade after Leo rose to the position of hero.

 

Among the senior years, those who currently spend time with Leo without formality are only the representatives of each year – Lil from 4th year and Elena from 5th year.

 

“Being able to laugh and chat with Senior Leo is itself an enormous privilege! A privilege! Ugh! I’m so jealous! If I had known this would happen, I should have enrolled in the same year as you guys!”

 

Watching Shasha who was genuinely frustrated, Selia sighed as if she couldn’t stop her.

 

‘Come to think of it, she was a member of Leo’s fan club.’

 

It was while the three were chatting like this.

 

“So you were all here.”

 

Leo approached.

 

“Senior Leo~”

 

Shasha waved at Leo with a beaming smile.

 

The surrounding nobles were surprised by the rare bright smile of the Imperial Princess.

 

“Senior Leo! Please dance with me during dance time!”

 

“If I feel like it.”

 

“Ah. That chic appearance. So cool.”

 

As Shasha made a swooning sound, Selia whispered to Chelsea.

 

“Is it okay for Shasha to become emperor?”

 

“She’s good at acting coy, so it should be fine, right?”

 

Watching her childhood friends diss her, Shasha glared and tried to secretly step on their feet.

 

Of course, those two weren’t the type to easily fall for such things.

 

While the three girls were growling at each other out of sight, Leo looked around.

 

“Where’s Avad?”

 

“I’m here. Am I late?”

 

“I was escorting my mother.”

 

“Ah.”

 

Avad, who approached with a smile, said to Shasha.

 

“Shasha. His Majesty was looking for you.”

 

“Ugh? At a time like this?”

 

Shasha made a frustrated expression.

 

“Senior Leo! Don’t forget about dancing with me!”

 

Saying that, Shasha grabbed her dress hem and ran off with quick steps.

 

After Shasha left, Leo confirmed there were no listening ears around and opened his mouth.

 

“It’s not certain yet.”

 

“Hm?”

 

“Starting from 3rd year, new subjects and missions related to Tartaros might be created at Lumern.”

 

At those words, the three people’s faces became serious.

 

“How should we prepare?”

 

“History about the legions.”

 

“Legion history?”

 

Selia furrowed her brow.

 

When talking about legions, it surely meant the legion commanders of Tartaros and the legions that follow them.

 

“Can’t you tell us more details?”

 

“It’s not certain yet.”

 

Leo also knew almost nothing about the legion records yet.

 

‘I’ll have to talk with Rian.’

 

“Use the communication network to inform all the students.”

 

At those words, Selia nodded.

 

“Starting from 3rd year, you’ll be going on missions in earnest, so a hectic school life will begin. Rest up plenty.”

 

Hearing Leo’s words, Selia chuckled.

 

“I’m prepared.”

 

“I can’t let only you and Cal get ahead. I’ll try to catch up in 3rd year.”

 

At Avad’s words, Leo smiled.

 

“I’m looking forward to that.”

 

“But to think we’d end up chasing after Cal.”

 

Chelsea grabbed her head and shook it back and forth.

 

It was when Leo was grinning at that sight.

 

Dance music began to echo.

 

In tune with it, people began to dance ballroom dances.

 

Naturally, the gazes of Rodren nobles around Leo’s age began to turn this way.

 

Under those gazes, Avad chuckled and stepped forward, extending his hand.

 

“Shall we dance one song? My lady.”

 

Selia looked at Avad’s extended hand, then smiled and took his hand.

 

“Gladly.”

 

The two moved toward the center of the ballroom.

 

Watching that scene, surprised exclamations burst out from here and there.

 

It was an amazing sight to see two people famous for being rivals dancing together.

 

Chelsea clicked her tongue watching that scene.

 

“It’ll get noisy again because of that. Hm?”

 

Chelsea, who had been grumbling, widened her eyes as she saw a hand extended in front of her face.

 

“You seemed like you wanted to dance.”

 

At those words, Chelsea, who had been looking up at Leo with rabbit eyes, grinned and took Leo’s hand as they went out to the ballroom.

 

“I’ve felt this before, but Leo oppa dances well.”

 

“I learned it through etiquette.”

 

“It’s not just the level of learning through etiquette, is it?”

 

“What I learned from Luna was significant too.”

 

“Ah.”

 

Chelsea nodded as if she understood.

 

“Come to think of it, why did you decide to change Tengkon’s national name? Given Leo oppa’s personality, I thought you’d leave it alone.”

 

When Chelsea made a puzzled expression, Leo chuckled.

 

“It’s the name of our old subjugation team.”

 

“Hm?”

 

“The name of the Erebos subjugation team was Arhee. It was a name Risinass came up with.”

 

“Ah.”

 

Chelsea nodded and looked amazed.

 

‘The name of the Erebos Expedition was Arhee?’

 

The party name of the Great Heroes was a secret that hadn’t even remained in history until now.

 

Having learned that name, Chelsea couldn’t help but be surprised.

 

Chelsea, who had been admiring the fact that she learned something new, suddenly asked.

 

She was planning to satisfy her personal curiosity while she was at it.

 

“Was Risinass good at dancing?”

 

Leo chuckled at the sudden curiosity.

 

“He was terrible at it.”

 

“Wow~ That’s unexpected.”

 

“He was surprisingly clumsy, just strong.”

 

She made an expression of wonder after hearing Leo’s words.

 

“When I talk with Leo oppa, I learn a lot about the unexpected sides of the Great Heroes.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Yeah. I was also surprised that Risinass was unexpectedly good at deceiving others. Oh, come to think of it.”

 

Chelsea smiled as if she remembered something.

 

“Last time in Dragonnia, the Wisdom students and Leo oppa cast Nightmare on me, remember?”

 

“Yeah. You said you met Risinass there.”

 

Having Risinass’s illusion appear was Leo’s intention.

 

Nightmare makes you fight the person you least want to fight, but the caster could also decide the illusion according to their intention.

 

“When I told that Risinass that he looked worse than his portrait, he got subtly angry, right? Is that Risinass’s real personality?”

 

At those words, Leo asked.

 

“He got angry?”
