27 – Prince of the Imperial Family

Elysion, the capital of the Kyton Empire.

Befitting the capital of an empire that occupied more than half of the continent, walking down the streets only see noble and dignified people, and first-time visitors are naturally intimidated.

But the most amazing thing about Elysion is the splendid and magnificent buildings built using the essence of magic engineering.

Looking at the sky-high skyscrapers and magnificent mansions lined up, even those great people look small.

However, if you see the Imperial Palace, the home of the Kaiten family, built in Elysion, you will completely forget all your impressions.

Even the elegant ladies of the capital cannot match the appearance of the Imperial Palace, and no skyscraper can be higher than the Imperial Palace.

Has there ever been a history of humans building buildings like this in the past thousands of years?

A building that can exist only when absolute power and absolute technology are mobilized together.

That was the Kaiten Imperial Palace.

“… ….”

On the other hand, the deepest place in the imperial palace.

If you break through the barriers that are doubled and tripled with all kinds of strict security magic and the guard net guarded by countless soldiers, you can finally set foot in the residence of the imperial family.

The residence of the imperial family.

Literally the place where the Kyton royalty breathe, eat and sleep.

The imperial family even includes the emperor, so it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that it is the heaviest life in this world where life can be weighed.

In that very place, a blond biracial woman with pointy ears walks casually with her feet in her rugged shoes.

“Please enter.”

Even the head of the palace guards didn’t stop him and instead showed his respect.

Of course, they don’t know who the blonde elf is.

The only thing he knows is that he has a deep connection with the imperial family, and at least his father and grandfather respected him.

Asking about her is quite ahead of the many serious taboos in her imperial palace.

“Are you here?”

The princess lying in bed, Kira Kayton, raised her sulking body.

She giggled as her eyes met the blond elf in lightweight armor.

The blonde elf was awestruck by her appearance alone.

How can she look like a young girl who has just turned 20, even though she has lived for over 500 years?

Are her elves more like that, or is it just her uniqueness… She was a beauty that any woman would envy.

But the reason Kira Kayton giggled now wasn’t because of her elven looks, but because of the sword at her waist.

“To be fully armed even standing in front of the imperial family, be rude.”

“Because you never know when and where an attack may come.”

I’m not an emperor, but even so, Kira is a princess.

It is normally a felony to wear a sword in front of the royal family of the Kaiten Empire.

It’s not just a felony, it’s a felony of felonies.

However, considering the contributions that elf has made to the Kaiten family over the past hundreds of years, who can say anything?

Kira didn’t scold or blame her blonde elf, she just continued to smile.

“Hmmm, setting the mood too much isn’t good either. You can’t speak comfortably. Isn’t it?”

“You are right.”

“Ah, it’s embarrassing. Can’t you just speak comfortably? I also find it a bit difficult to deal with someone who has lived 500 years longer than me.”

“How dare I do that to a noble person.”

Even though the blonde elf says that, she is Kira who knows that she has no loyalty to the imperial family.

There are things the elves want from the imperial family and the imperial family wants something from the elves, so the two are just bound by a business relationship.

That’s why Kira decided to stop talking nonsense and get right to the point.

“So, are you sure the demon brother and sister fled to Denbergen?”

“I confirmed that.”

“As expected, the captain of the imperial family’s dark department, the search is fast.”

Kira laughs again, then erases her laughter in an instant and thinks deeply.

“Hmm, maybe it has something to do with the Demonic Realm….”

These days, the center of the empire is closely watching the trend of the Demonic Realm.

Among the lands not occupied by the empire on this continent, the place where the greatest power is located is, no matter what anyone says, the home of the demons, the demon world.

However, even though they have great power, they do not have a central point and can never become one, so they do not dare to attack the empire.

At most, a few banded together to launch a guerrilla attack on the outskirts of the empire.

“I didn’t get that far. The only thing that is certain is that the demon brother and sister are heading to Denbergen Academy.”

“Oh, that’s right. There is a mountain behind Denbergen Academy. It looks like he’s trying to hide there.”

“That too… I think the Demon Brother and Sister are targeting the Denbergen Academy itself.”

At that point, Princess Kira slightly frowned at her.

“Are you at the academy? Why? What is there?”

“That’s fine. However, as a result of looking for traces, the two demons were clearly walking in a straight line towards the academy.”

Kira questioned the blonde elf’s report.

She is also a student at Denbergen Academy.

Although she is currently on leave, she is in her third year, so she knows a lot about school.

So, I didn’t think there was something great enough for the two demons to break through the strict surveillance of the empire’s outskirts and aim for it.

It’s not that I don’t understand if you’re thinking of causing a terrorist attack…….

“But, is that director there?”

“… ….”

It’s not a well-known fact, but the director of Denbergen Academy is a dragon.

At least, the people in the imperial family were moderately aware of this information.

Unless the demon king from 1,500 years ago was revived and divided, two demons cannot invade the impregnable fortress of Denbergen.

“Then I don’t think you need to worry about it. What do you think? Wouldn’t that chairman burn the school the moment he approached it in the first place without lifting a finger?”

“…… Well, it might seem so.”

“Huh? What is it Is it the spirit that even the chairman can win? Well, if it’s you, it seems like you’ll definitely win even if your opponent is a dragon.”

“I don’t mean that.”

A blonde elf who seems to have a slightly different opinion than usual.

Princess Kira was interested in her elf’s opinion, which she hadn’t heard in years, and crossed her legs and rested her chin.

“Otherwise, do you have any ideas?”

“No, no. But… There was a risk that the news itself that the demons had invaded the academy would spread, so I was thinking about how to work with ‘nothing happened’ in the dark part.”

“Hmm… Certainly it is. Other students may discover it.”

“It’s not a big deal if a few students find out, but if you draw attention with the chairman’s magic, people will surely gather and the truth will be revealed.”

Kira nodded her head as if she finally understood, letting out her hum-hum-hum her snort.

Well, magic engineering should have developed a lot these days.

Once the attention was drawn, it was obvious that even the slightest traces of burning the demon brother and sister would be traced back and the details of what had happened would be exposed.

It’s still a chaotic atmosphere because of the wriggling demon scene these days, but when a rumor spreads that demons have invaded Denbergen Academy…….

“Wow, just thinking about it is terrifying.”

To prevent such a worst case scenario, it was best to mobilize the dark side.

“So, are you saying you want to go yourself? The captain of the dark department?”

“… ….”

“Ummm, well, you had a good relationship with the chairman. I think things will work out just fine.”

Kira opened her eyes wide as if she remembered something and snapped her fingers with a snap.

“Oh, come to think of it, recently the imperial family decided to send one person to the academy. Invited professors from outside, with that concept.”

“…… Professor, you mean?”

“Yes! Originally, it was used to monitor whether there was corruption inside the academy or if they were planning something strange, such as against the Kaiten royal family, but at this point, even the demons hiding in the academy could be quietly caught.”

The blond elf frowned slightly in disgust.

That’s the only reason why the academy is pressurized and put in people.

It was common sense to manage facial expressions in front of her royal family, but she didn’t point out even when she openly frowned on her while getting down on one knee.

Instead of scolding her, Kira jumped up and went through her papers.

“mmm, I found it. I just need to create a suitable identity.”

“As for status… ….”

“You are going to be a professor. Well, I guess I don’t need to teach much. You say you only need to teach about six of the brightest freshmen in the freshman year from time to time?”

“…… All right.”

Although she wasn’t confident in her position as a professor, she was good at hiding her identity as a dark woman and infiltrating somewhere using a different identity.

The fighting style he learned from his teacher, who was the best assassin on the continent, didn’t fit his personality, so he barely left it, but some miscellaneous skills were useful for 500 years.

Even if it feels hopeless now, there would be no difficulty in handling the mission after taking up the post as a fake professor.

“What should I name it? Do you have any pretty names in mind?”

“Okay.”

“Well, let’s go with Elfin then. How is it?”

“Eh, Elfin…….”

The blond elf’s calm expression collapsed for the first time.

But Kira still had a giggling little devilish grin as she quickly took up her pen and scribbled her signature at the bottom of the document.

As a result, the blonde elf, no elfin, will be assigned to Denbergen Academy as an outside guest professor.

“Professor life, try hard, right? Grab the demons in the middle.”

“… ….”

Elfin, who was openly pouting, didn’t respond to Kira’s words any more, bowed down to greet her, and then left her seat.

But the moment Elfin grabbed the doorknob and was about to turn it.

As if Kira had just remembered something, she summoned Elfin and stopped her.

“Oh, finally… I mean that ‘flower garden’.”

“…… Did you find anything?”

Elfin, who was about to leave immediately, stopped for a moment and listened to Kira.

Even Key, who always laughed and joked around, had a more serious face than ever before.

On the other hand, Elfin’s expression didn’t change much from the beginning.

“I’m sorry. You’ve helped the imperial family for 500 years because of that, and we still haven’t found it…….”

“…… I know you are doing your best.”

“He said that if you find that flower garden, he could bring back someone dear to you, right?”

“Yes, obviously.”

Elfin’s beautiful voice contained the weight of 500 years.

She didn’t just sit back and wait, believing in fairy tales. She

Rather than waiting, she moved her body and traveled across the continent, seeking a way to bring back someone dear to her.

She walks on fiery waters, walks on ice fields, and doesn’t care if her feet get lost in sandy snowfields.

As a result, we found a record that exists along with the legend.

At least, in Elfin’s opinion, the records and legends were more credible than the fairy tale reincarnation stories that the little dragon believed.

“Maybe. It’s a story in a legend, but there are records of people who have been there.”

So that the dead can return and be fully embraced in the arms of the living.

Unlike the Necromancer’s Necromancer, the Flower of Resurrection literally brings true resurrection.

It turns out that the ‘flower garden’ that grows the flower definitely exists somewhere in the world.

The one who understood that fact most deeply was Princess Kira, so she was also able to build a close cooperative relationship.

“…… I need to find it as quickly as possible.”

“So that no one gets knocked out.”

“That’s what I mean. Hmmm, this may be rude, but… Elfin.”

“Yes?”

Elfin slightly turned his head and looked behind him.

There was Kira, who was shouting “Fighting” As she clenched her fists with both of her hands.

Her face, which always seemed to be laughing at her opponent, was mysteriously full of cheering light this time, and even Elfin smiled.

“Because a woman who pursues the person she likes is strong. Cheer up!”

“…… Ha, it’s not like that.”

“Cheer up, sister!”

“So stop calling me older sister… ….”

Boom!

After closing the door, Elfin brushed his bangs and touched the handle of the sword at his waist.

“Anyway, I have no cheap year, I should hold another child.”

Although she is said to be mischievous, she is an elfin who does not hesitate to curse at the royal family as soon as she goes outside.

As far as common sense goes, no one other than the emperor or her siblings could say anything like this to the princess Kira.

However, in all that common sense, Elfin, the ‘noble of the imperial family’, is excluded.

Of course.

There are probably several reasons why the Kaiton Empire was able to easily conquer the entire continent after taking over Delin Kingdom.

Geographic advantage, military momentum, etc…….

But if I had to pick just one of them, I couldn’t leave out her name.

‘Elfin.’

From noble mtl dot com

Kyton All emperors of the past will shout her name.

Although the name itself has long since vanished into the void.

However, by coincidence or inevitability, the blond elf heading to the Denbergen Academy has re-used a stage name he had used hundreds of years ago.

“…… Master.”

Elfin thought it was too early for her to become a professor.

She’s that. She still has so much to learn from Dane.

She’s lived a long time, but she still thinks that she hasn’t grown a bit since 500 years ago.

Isn’t it absurd that someone who couldn’t properly learn from her own teacher became someone else’s teacher and taught someone else?

“Ha ha.”

But a mission is a mission. Can not help it.

Elfin didn’t know anything and she had to head to Den Bergen Academy.

…… She didn’t even realize who was there.
