The Demon King’s Seal Has Been Broken

25 – Empire being invaded [Thoughts of the princess] – 5

The first princess, Lesia.

In fact, she had not at all doubted the rosy future drawn to her until recently.

The second princess, Anastasia, won a perfect victory in the battle for succession.

As a result, he received many real powers from his father, the emperor, and gradually expanded his influence in the empire.

Many aristocrats already consider her the next emperor, court her, and so on.

The dream-like life that he really wanted was continuing.

If things go on like this, he will probably have a strong base of support in the future.

There was no power to check the power of the emperor he had. That alone made her feel like only good things would happen to her in the future.

However, all of that had to collapse now.

The leader of the knights, Bill, who was selected as a hero at best. No, there are rumors that the hero Bill is now rebelling.

I heard that the second princess Anastasia, whom she had won in the battle for the succession, refused to acknowledge the battle for the succession and was preparing something.

As a result, even though nobles courted her in front, they even heard bad news that they looked at her behind the scenes.

After she became emperor and started to work in earnest, many things started to get in the way of her.

As if he was trying to bring her down somehow because he would never see her as the emperor.

The princess felt as if they were slowly threatening her.

It wasn’t really a joke because I wasn’t stressed though.

Her hair fell out a little, her nails split, and she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable these days.

Perhaps this year will be the most unlucky for her? I even heard that thought.

However, all of those things were really weak compared to today’s work.

“Is that true? Sir Carls?”

“Yes. It’s true. Princess.”

“her…”

Then, finally, something really unbelievable happened.

The news was that the demon king’s army was now gathering in the eastern part of the empire, the fortress city, and that they were planning an invasion of the fortress city.

Upon hearing this news, the princess couldn’t help but feel very upset and snoring.

“Then what is it? Bill, are you saying that the hero failed to kill the Demon King?”

“… maybe… you should think so.”

“Ugh…”

Bill clearly told himself that he would definitely subdue the demon lord.

He had said that he was much stronger than Rag, the former hero, and that he was planning to gather his companions unlike Rag, and that he would kill the demon king at once when he was to break the seal.

It was the princess who gave faith to Bill’s words. She had no doubt that he would defeat the Demon King.

‘What is the real hero Bill doing?”

But, now that the demon king’s seal has been released, and that he doesn’t know what happened to Bill.

It was really like a thunderclap.

The princess never predicted that something like this would happen.

Did the demon king resurrect? And invade the empire?

The princess’s hands trembled.

In the first place, when she gave Bill the position of a warrior, it was not for this reason.

It was to appoint him as a hero to defeat the demon king and allow the warrior party to go out, but he was not sent to break the seal and fall without responsibility.

‘Ah… really annoying.’

The situation was hopeless, and her fear soon turned to anger.

Why the hell is this happening to you?

What on earth did you do wrong, and why should you suffer for the mistakes of others?

Without knowing why, she had no choice but to hit the desk in front of her with a futile temper.

Because that was the only thing she could do.

If I didn’t do that, I felt like I’d burst into flames at any moment.

She continued to vent her anger.

However, in the end, the fundamental problem will never be solved.

So I had to think about what to do in this situation now.

She gasped for breath, calmed down, and analyzed the current situation.

‘What on earth should I do?’

It was a situation where the demon king was now attacking the empire, the fortress city that was the shield of the empire, and the battle would soon begin.

And that battle will be very important now. The fortress city was, as I said before, the shield of the Empire.

The Empire’s shield would be stronger than anything else, but on the contrary, without a shield, the Empire would be too fragile.

So, it was a story that if you couldn’t stop the Demon King’s army in the fortress city, a really terrible situation could happen.

The empire could fall into the hands of demons, and humans might perish.

If that were the case, of course he would not have his own life either.

No matter how much I think about it, it’s a very hopeless situation.

What is the best decision you can make in this situation?

The princess thought about him.

‘What would my father do?’

He couldn’t help but think about his father, Emperor Wilhelm, who was now bedridden.

He remembered his father and thought about what kind of judgment he would have made at this moment, if he were the emperor and father he thought he was.

And as a result of that thought, he remembered something his father had said to him not too long ago.

‘Lesia… If something happens, go find the former warrior of Rag.’

The last thing she said to Lesia before she lay down was to go find the former warrior Rag, not anyone else.

If something really happened, the emperor gave himself one last piece of advice: to rely on him without hesitation.

If the worst happens, Rag will hold the key to solving it.

In fact, in a way, that was the last piece of advice his now collapsed father gave him.

‘Should I call that hero right now?’

Thinking of that, Lecia couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment.

The last words of the emperor, the words to call the former warrior Rag, in a way, that might be the correct answer.

No, in fact, I had no choice but to do that.

In a way, it was natural to go to the former warrior, Rag, in a situation where Hero Bill might have been.

And that hero probably sealed the demon lord, right? If you lean on that hero, you might be able to solve it.

So, it might be said that going to the real Rag is a really good decision.

Like he sealed the demon king before, wouldn’t he be able to seal the demon king again?

At least, even if I couldn’t defeat it, it might be possible to seal it somehow.

So it would be best to call in Rag.

‘Do I have to bring back some lowly blood? No… I can’t do that.

However, it didn’t seem like that either.

She tried to summon Rag, but hesitated for a moment.

The reason was that Rag was of low blood, which she hated so much.

It was he who praised Bill as a noble blood when he despised Rag as a lowly blood.

If you change your position like flipping the palm of your hand, what will the people of the world think of you?

A princess born of low blood behaves like a low blood.

Maybe you think so.

And that never happened.

In order to prove that you are of the noblest blood than anyone else, to behave like a noble blood than anyone else, that was absolutely not the case.

It was an act that Lecia should never have done even if she died.

So it can’t even die.

Calling in Rag was an act of abandoning one’s pride.

She would never let go of her pride, even if a knife came to her throat.

‘Let’s stop it. I’ll be able to stop it.’

For now, it might be better to just block it.

Come to think of it, the situation was different from the hero attacking the demon lord.

What the fortress city was doing now was Mercury, and in the original battle, defense was more advantageous than attack.

So, the fortress city would probably be able to defend against the Demon King’s army with only a small amount of fighting power.

‘Because the fortress city will never be breached anyway.’

And I heard that the defense of the fortress city is quite strong.

Why was the fortified city nicknamed the Imperial Shield?

That’s because the fortress city’s defense was solid, and it had never been breached.

A city prepared for Mercury, which boasts formidable defensive power, was a fortress city.

The fortress city had never once allowed the demons to enter this land to the empire in the past few hundred years, and it will probably be able to stop it this time too.

The princess did not doubt that.

‘Let’s choose a new warrior.’

So let’s block it in the fortress city and think of a new way.

It would be better to select a third person other than Lag as the warrior party.

A third person other than Rag, a hero with noble blood, should be selected, and then slowly start again.

‘I’m sure it’ll be fine…’

That would be an action to protect one’s beliefs and protect the empire.
