Chapter 390
Into the Imperial City
Immediately after asking Sitri for help, Ferda went straight to Valdrova.
"Valdrova, I need your help."
"What kind of help do you need?"
"They say Frontesis has suddenly appeared outside the Imperial Wall and is blocking the way."
"Uncle... you mean?"
Еn um а .i̊ d
The appearance of the demon and Frontesis following Olivia's arrest.
Ferda told her about that situation.

"It's no coincidence that Frontesis and a demon appeared at the same time. Something is happening inside the Empire."
"That would make sense. Then, it would be right for me to face Uncle..."
She nodded as if she understood.
"Alright. Let's go together."
Ẇе ḃ ń о́ vе̂ l̊ E n̈ ùmа
It was decided remarkably simply.
He should have been happy at her consent, but strangely, he couldn't smile.
"Just in case, I'm asking..."
Ferda asked her cautiously.

"The fact that I'm going to save another woman... does it not bother you?"
"What do you mean?"
Ě ń ù m ӑ
"Well... it just weighs on my mind, that kind of thing..."
"Are you asking if I'm jealous?"
"Yes."
Valdrova answered as if Ferda's question was strange.
"She's none other than the Princess. It's only natural to save her."
She answered remarkably boldly.

It couldn't be helped.
Because he had never properly told her the story about what happened with the Princess.
So he had to tell her clearly, even now.
Ferda thought so.
"That Princess loved me."
So he was struck speechless.
Ẇ еb̂nоv́е́l Е̇ n̊úmа
A face that seemed to say, 'What did I just hear?'
Then she smiled slightly and tried to deny it.

"Perhaps you're misunderstanding a little, Ferda-ssi..."
"We spoke directly, and I heard it from her. She acknowledged it too."
Since he even confirmed it, she could no longer smile.
She looked down at the floor with a complex expression.
Е̊nu m â
She moved her lips hesitantly.
That timid-looking action strangely pricked his conscience more.
But he had to do it.
"The reason I'm telling you this... is because I was afraid a misunderstanding might arise if I hid it from you."

"How do you think of Olivia-yang, Ferda-ssi?"
"To me, she's nothing. Just... she helped me, and this is simply a relationship of repaying that."
W е b ň о̆ vе̇ l̀ Ẽǹ_um̊ а̃
"Then I'll believe you, Ferda-ssi."
There wasn't a shred of hesitation.
Valdrova carefully took Ferda's hand.
"You see, I admire Olivia. That woman is truly one of the refined women I aspire to be. So sometimes I get jealous too. Thinking that if it's someone like her, she might even steal my man..."
"Even so, you believe me?"
"Because you said it wasn't so, Ferda-ssi! I believe in you, Ferda-ssi!"

"..."
"And I want to become friends with Olivia-yang. Have tea parties together like with Ludmilla and Rize, stroll through the village together. I hope it turns out that way."
Her lips fidgeted.
Imagining such a figure of herself, it seems she likes it very much.
"You're too nice for your own good."
"So only I come to mind, right?"
Wеb ǹ оvе̄l Ӗn ŭ m а̇
Ferda kissed her, finding her lovable.
It never got old, new every time.

"Then shall we go?"
"Yes. I'll prepare the magic—."
"No, there's no need for that."
Valdrova glanced toward the terrace.
W e b ñ о̀v̆ е̊l̆ Еń ū ṁa
She held their joined hands tightly and smiled brightly.
"Eleanor?"
She said nothing and ran.
At first like a woman, then increasingly fiercely, and Ferda was dragged along by her.

Paat!
She leaped greatly into the sky.
Еnu m ä.і̃ d̀
Ferda's body rose into the sky following her.
Valdrova's body grew gigantic in an instant.
Ferda climbed onto her back and soared into the sky.
"Eleanor?"
-I'll take you there.
She said that belatedly.

Red wings tearing through the sky flapped.
Below, Hestia Village could be seen.
Countless people and countless buildings built.
People startled by the sudden shade looked up at the sky and shouted in surprise.
"Ooh!"
"Great Dragon King!"
Е̌n̆ um а̄
The people of Hestia Village all stopped their work at once and paid respects to Valdrova.
She opened her maw wide and roared.

-Kroaaaa!!
A gigantic roar shaking the sky.
Then, from the empty sky above, something approached Valdrova at high speed.
A massive cluster of dark clouds.
Ẁ е̃ ḃ n̆ ǒ v̀ е̇ l È n̈ um ӑ
That was Storeus's castle.
The masterless house still had spawns,
One spawn flew to Valdrova's side.
He was the captain of the remaining spawns.

Valdrova spoke.
-We are going to the Capital.
Е̌nu mа̂
At her words, the spawn captain nodded and returned to the castle.
They will finish all preparations and follow behind her.
Today, the Empire will fall.
* * *
After 2 hours of flight, the Imperial Capital finally came into view.
There, beacon fires were rising.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
No, they weren't beacon fires.
It was smoke rising from houses collapsing and burning.
-I'll go in like this.
"Yes."
He tried to attempt a breakthrough.
That was when.
E n̊ ǔ ma
From below, a shower of large rocks covered the sky.
Several of them hit Valdrova's body, and she staggered.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
-Ferda-ssi, are you okay?
"Shouldn't I be the one asking that?"
-I'm quite sturdy, so...
Anyway, he identified the source of the suddenly flying rock shower.
Wè b̌ n ӧvе l Enû m ӑ
One thing caught his eye.
That huge, flat body standing in front of the Imperial Main Gate.
They were undoubtedly from Frontesis.
-This won't do. I'm descending!
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Valdrova erased the option of breaking through in one go and descended.
Kwoong!!
Еn ü ḿӑ. і̌d̊
A landing that shook the ground.
Two gigantic dragons faced each other.
-Frontesis...
-Valdrova!
Frontesis was not like usual.
He was fully prepared.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
His body, unlike other dragons that fly in the sky, was specialized for digging tunnels.
Because of that, his dull appearance was the most harmless-looking among all dragons.
Such a him appeared here, wrapped in Frontenium on his skin to hide his impression.
-This is Imperial land. What business do you have in the Empire?
-I heard the Saintess was unjustly arrested by the Emperor. Frontesis, I don't want to fight you.
-Hah! You'll have to fight! Because I orchestrated all of this!
Е̄n̄u m̊ă
-What?
Frontesis shouted boldly.

-I summoned the demons! And I ordered them to kidnap the Saintess!
-Why... would you do such a thing?
-That child tried to plot treason against the Empire! Isn't it only right she apologize with death!?
He screamed at the top of his lungs at Valdrova.
W е b ň о̀ v.е l̊ Ё n ùmӑ
-The Empire will be eternal, Valdrova! No matter how strong you are, you won't easily pass through here!
He lowered his head.
The half-melted Frontenium felt like wrinkles.
He took a battle-ready stance.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
But Ferda could tell.
Frontesis is lying.
Wе̊ b n ŏ v̊ е̇l̇ Ѐ n̂ um̈а
He is not the mastermind of this incident.
"Valdrova, right now Frontesis is..."
-Yes, I know.
Valdrova already understood.
-Leave it to me.
Valdrova didn't converse any further.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
She bared her teeth and raised her claws.
And charged at Frontesis.
-Ferda-ssi!
Just as the grappling started, Valdrova put strong force into her shoulder.
Even with that small gesture, Ferda's body was flung toward the castle wall with enough power.
Ferda landed lightly.
Ẁe̊b n̈ õv е̂l Е.ń u̇m̆ а
There was no one guarding the castle wall, and he looked down at the Capital from atop the wall.
'This scenery is...'
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Smoke and flames soar among the densely packed buildings.
Here and there, something rising into the sky is visible—those are undoubtedly demons.
This scenery was created by Godfrey.
The chaos in the Empire was caused by Godfrey's arbitrary actions.
Е́n u m̄ а́
At first, he thought so, but looking down like this, his thoughts change.
'It's the same as back then.'
Olivia.
That woman seduced Ureas, unleashed demon worshippers, and turned everything into a mess back then.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Could it be that Olivia designed all of this?
Then is Olivia's fate unchanged?
Ẅ е́ b́n̆ о̃v̊ѐ l̈ Е nǔ m̃.ӑ
Will she try to burn the Empire again and die?
Everything is put on the back burner.
There's only one thing to do now.
'I have to save Olivia.'
Thinking that, he went down.
It was tragic even from afar, but up close it couldn't be a comedy.

The smell of blood and char permeated, and screams and crying were heard everywhere.
"Waaaaah! Mom! Dad!"
He turned his head at a child's crying.
There were a powerless mother and father there too.
A demon's spear shone sharply.
And that was it.
Ě n ū mа . і̊d
-Kieeeek!
A low-ranking demon's body was wrapped in something black.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
That black thing was connected to Ferda's hand.
Ferda pulled his hand just like that.
Like slicing ham with a thin thread, the demon's body was cleanly cut in a grid pattern.
The fragmented corpse burned away with the sulfur smell and disappeared.
En ū ṁa . і d
The family, flustered by the demon's sudden disappearance, looked around.
Then their eyes met Ferda's.
Everyone lost their words.
Dark back alley, dark suit.

Making the darkest figure, but that figure seemed to shine.
"Lock the door and hide in a corner. Do so until this storm passes."
Е ṅu m а̊
"Y-yes!"
"Thank you, Naeuri!"
Receiving their thanks, the family retreated.
Ferda, having saved the family, moved again.
He had to go to the Golden Palace.
Someone will die, and things will burn.

He can't save everyone.
But if he sees it, he won't turn away.
So he moved along the streets.
Ferda knew he had left the outskirts.
Because at some point, the people being ravaged by demons decreased, and those resisting them increased.
Among them was the Magic Society too.
Е̃n u m а . і̊d̂
"That guy is...!"
A man who looked like he was from the Magic Society pointed at Ferda.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
He had a premonition that no good words would come out of that mouth.
"It's Regent Ferda!"
"The mastermind of this commotion!"
Not a suspect, but the mastermind.
É n ū mа
Without even a word of arrest, they immediately aimed attack magic at Ferda's vital points.
'So they don't just see demons as enemies.'
He clicked his tongue.
Instead of counterattacking, Ferda responded by hiding and evading.

He could do that much, and he didn't want to create unnecessary bloodshed.
The low-circle mages couldn't pinpoint Ferda's location.
Е n̄ ů m̂ ӓ
He became a shadow and tried to somehow slip between buildings.
But that didn't last long either.
-Stop right there.
Erdes's voice was heard.
At the same time, Ferda, moving between buildings, felt a powerful flow of magical power.
It completely isolated the area like a gigantic cage.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
There's no hole to escape through.
Ferda hid in a civilian house and waited.
Erdes hadn't pinpointed Ferda's location.
-I know you're there, Regent Ferda. And I'm someone who's prepared to blow everything away. If you want, I'll blow away the entire zone you're in.
What should he do?
As he was thinking that, Ferda sensed a presence and turned his head slightly.
Е n um а. і ď
He saw a girl hugging her younger brother.
She had her eyes tightly shut, praying for this incident to pass safely.

At that sight, Ferda stood up from his spot and came outside.
In the sky above, a magic circle to blow away this area was truly being created.
"Erdes Roton, Magic Society President."
"Long time no see. Regent Ferda."
Е̃ń u m̌а̌
"I am not a demon. Nor am I the mastermind of this commotion."
"I know, I'm not an idiot, do you think I wouldn't know that?"
"Then can't you let me go?"
"You can't go to the Imperial Palace."

Ferda frowned.
"You already know everything about what's happening."
Е̂_ṅ um̂а̌ . іď
"That's right."
"Even while hating demons... why do you not even glance at the real demons when they're running rampant?"
"I hate demons."
Sincere loathing is felt.
That loathing isn't directed at demons, nor at Ferda.
"I hate them to death, but that thing I hate to death put a leash on me."
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
It's an emotion directed at herself.
She can't even make the excuse that it couldn't be helped.
Because there are no people who wish for their own ruin and join hands with demons, and she didn't allow such excuses either.
"I'm asking you. Please, just die already."
It was one thing he couldn't grant.
Ferda naturally prepared to retort.
E n̂ um̃ ȧ .id
That was when.
Erdes's figure, preparing magic, flew away with a whoosh.

Something that flew from the sky kicked her body with all its might.
Kwa-gwang!!
The sound of her falling along with the impact.
The collision object, unlike its fierce flight, landed elegantly in front of Ferda.

Blue hair, blunt horns.
It was Erica.
