Volume 2 - CH 37
Act 2-37: Empire Situation
Glitnir Empire’s Heavenly Court!
The “Heavenly Court” was located on the top floor of the palace built in the center of the Glitnir empire’s flourishing imperial capital.
The interior of the Heavenly Court was built with white marble. Top-tier craftsmen were hired to sculpt the pillars inside.
On top of that, a long, bright red carpet lay spread out from the giant door all the way to the throne. Lined up on the sides of the carpet were the vessels of the person on the throne.
The one sitting on the throne was a middle-aged man. His tempered body, which was filled with scars visible even through his clothes, was a testament to his strength as a warrior. This man was the current emperor of the Glitnir empire, also known as the Conqueror Emperor, Amnes Zi Glitnir.
「What? Can you repeat that?」
Amnes Zi Glitnir, whose expression rarely changed, raised his voice in disbelief as he heard the report from the vice-captain of the already-destroyed summoner squad.
Gulps from the vassals, who saw their emperor’s ghastly face, rang in the Heavenly Court.
「In the beginning, everything went according to our plan, and we managed to incapacitate the kingdom’s knight leader, Arnold, but the appearance of a black-haired young man reversed the situation. He made Ifrit submit to him, killed Enzu-sama, and beat Signiel-dono in a pure sword duel. After that, Signiel-dono announced his retirement from his position as the empire’s general and vanished on the way back to the empire.」
The vice-captain looked at the floor he was kneeling on and repeated his report with a voice that was close to dying out.
The content of his report caused a stir in the Heavenly Court.
「Be quiet!」
However, everyone became silent just a moment later due to a single, cold remark from Amnes.
Amnes then moved his attention to the man leaning on the pillar behind him while crossing his arms. This man was completely covered in black attire except for his left eyes
「What do you think, Pho?」
Amnes asked without beating around the bush.
「That long-nosed monster has surely sworn absolute obedience. That black-haired youngster might have used a charm on it. The youngster might be a tamer, or he just might be stronger than the long-nosed monster…」
Suddenly, the room clamored with a crackling sound. Then—
「Stronger than the long-nosed monster, eh… Pho, are you implying that he’s stronger than Ifrit?」
A blonde woman clad in full plate armor placed her hands on her slender waist and asked the man in black, Pho.
「Yes. They are the kind who live as per the law of the jungle. They are a prideful bunch who won’t submit to anyone weaker than them.」
「Since that’s the case, the youngster shouldn’t be a summoner, right? I mean, I can’t think of any human who can win against Ifrit with brute force, aside for Pho-san.」
A petite man who seemed like he belonged to a well-do family replied with a flat tone while playing with a tetrahedron object in his hands.
「I agree with you.」
A red-haired giant agreed without even trying to hide his yawn.
「We have to use every method to recruit him as one of six generals.」
Emperor Amnes remarked.
「What about the hero summoning?」
The man in black, Pho, asked, but…
「It’s just a trivial matter. Do as you wish.」
The emperor spat out those words as if the summoning of the hero was truly a trivial matter in his eyes.
「Your Majesty, how should we deal with the escaped Signiel? Should we get rid of him?」
Amnes shook his head upon hearing the sleepy, red-haired giant.
「Let him go. Seeing that the black-haired youngster wanted to spare Signiel’s life, there’s no need to create an undesirable conflict between him and us. But, we have to reinstall Ashburn at his position as one of the six generals by using his grandson’s desertion as a reason.」
「Your will is my command!」
The red-haired giant bowed upon hearing Amnes’s decision. The other vassals also gave a salute in the empire style before leaving the Heavenly Court.
「Pho, do you think you can win against that black-haired youngster?」
Emperor Amnes asked Pho, who was left behind.
「Yeah, I don’t think I’ll lose against that black-haired youngster.」
「If we can’t bring him to our side, kill him!」
「Understood!」
The moment the emperor raised his right hand, the man in black vanished like smoke.
「Acquiring a strongman whose strength surpasses Ifrit, eh! If we manage to recruit him, according to Pho, our empire will gain two weapons who can single-handedly wipe out the existence of the demon race from this world. Once we accomplish it, the great land beyond that will fall into our possession―」
The delighted laugh of the Conqueror Emperor, who was left alone, resounded in the Heavenly Court.
