next day.

As soon as I woke up, I was immediately teleported to the imperial palace.

The knight guarding the throne room shouted.

“your majesty! Sir Johannes is here!”

“Stop by.”

rattle. The door to the huge throne room opened, and there were nobles lined up left and right. The emperor was sitting on his throne, resting his chin on his chin.

“Sir Johannes. Isn’t it time to cleanse the South? what brings you here… ”

“The cleansing of the South is over.”

“What? Is that true!”

“It’s been a while since I competed, and I’ve already cleaned up… .”

“Are you finally getting that huge territory back?”

The emperor’s eyes widened. The great nobles became agitated by my words.

“There is something I want to ask of Your Majesty. May I dare to make a request?”

“okay. It’s your request, but there’s nothing I can’t accept. Something? Come on, tell me.”

“There are still small villages and small towns that have not been cleaned up. Can I ask the other knights for this part?”

The emperor smiled and nodded his head.

“There is no way I can do that. okay. Anything else?”

“I want you to send the Royal Guard and arrest Seri Verdia, the daughter of Count Verdia. she is a felon. We need to find it right away.”

“… … .”

What is this feeling of deja vu? I hurriedly raised my head and looked around. It was as if time had stopped. No one blinked, and the emperor’s mouth did not move.

‘Serie Verdia… .’

There’s no way she wouldn’t have made any arrangements. Do I have no choice but to move and find it myself?

“your majesty? your majesty!”

“hmm? hmm? What is it?”

“Do you remember the request I just made?”

“Are you talking about the purification of the South that couldn’t even be done?”

“… … .”

Has the whole memory been blown away? I won’t be able to mention her name from now on.

“yes. That is the only request I made.”

“okay. Leave the cleanup of the south to us. Shouldn’t there be an inauguration ceremony for the Grand Duke?”

“I’m sorry, but I’d like to postpone the Grand Duke’s inauguration until later. There is still work to be done.”

The emperor pursed his lips in regret.

“is it… . okay. If there’s anything you need to do, it must be to help the Empire. Then the inauguration ceremony will be held later, and only the title of grand duke will be bestowed on you.”

“It’s embarrassing.”

“What about the reconstruction of the South?”

“I want to hire Arch Chancellor Eric Warenberg. His work is clear and fast.”

The emperor stroked his chin as if in trouble. I pursed my lips and thought about it for a moment, but then I opened my mouth.

“Good. Although the empire’s work is being pushed back, it should be left to the crown prince. Adan is also an adult now.”

Are you leaving the job to him? Honey. Somewhere, get hit by work and live. Rights have been enjoyed to the fullest so far, so you have to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of blood.

“Thank you for your grace.”

“There is no such thing as my grace. You’ve come this far only on your own ability. okay. Is the report over?”

“That’s right.”

“It’s good to go out now.”

The door to the throne room opened once again,

With this, I became the Grand Duke of the South.

He rubbed his forehead with his fingers and lowered his head. Because I needed time to think.

“hmm… .”

It wouldn’t be strange if the world turned around right now. However, there is currently no way to stop this, and there is no clue as to where she is. How can you be so helpless?

‘I’ll have to do something with the feeling of grabbing at least a straw.’

I was teleported to the academy. I wondered if there would be something different about the transcendent, Appel Cloud.

“No, sir Johannes? What’s going on here… .”

“I am Archduke Johannes now.”

“Have you already finished cleansing the South?”

“It’s not all over yet, but His Majesty has promised to help. I have something urgent to do.”

Appel Cloud got up and sat down on the reception sofa.

“Do you need me for that job?”

“you’re right.”

I sat down along with Apel Cloud and started talking.

“Do you know about Seri Verdia?”

“… … .”

From noble mtl dot com

this. Even the transcendent, Appel Cloud, could not escape the realm of Seri Verdia. But Ygritte, who was a dragon, knew.

‘I have to become a dragon-class existence to not be affected by Seri Verdia.’

It was beginning to make sense that I hadn’t forgotten about Seri Verdia. Because I am a human with more than a dragon.

“Sir Cloud? Sir Cloud,”

“yes. Oh, sorry. I suddenly lost my mind.”

“no. You seem busy, but I’ll get up.”

I got up from my seat.

“Can you not tell me about the business?”

“The business is over. All my questions have been answered.”

“… ?”

Appel Cloud sent me off politely. All that’s left now is to find Fenston or meet Ruthera and Adan Elowis.

Seeing as Apel Cloud is here, he must not have gone out to the frontlines of purification yet.

I hurried to the training ground.

‘Something’s been here for a while.’

familiar scent. Memories that remind me of my life that has passed since I possessed this place.

I will not forget these memories and my precious ones.

“Hound! Long time no see.”

“I am Archduke Johannes now.”

“… Is there some kind of magic hanging on your path to success? I was just a commoner until three years ago.”

“I guess so. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, so it’s a bit embarrassing to ask right away, but there’s something I want to ask of Confucius Rutera.”

widely. Ruterra put the wooden sword she was wielding on the ground.

“When you think about the reason you came all this way after graduating from the academy early, it probably wasn’t something simple. What is it?”

“Do you know about Seri Verdia?”

“… … .”

Again… is it. If this is the case, Fenston and Adan will be the same.

“Confucius.”

“Um, um? What’s going on. What did you say you came for?”

“no. You even train.”

“Wouldn’t you like to do some sparring before you go? Since you left, there has been no opponent for me.”

Ha, this Dalian Light. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. Is it a story about Dalian? But now is not the time for that. I have to find Seri Verdia as soon as possible and stop it from turning back time.

“I have something urgent to do. Let’s do Dalian next time. I will also tell you about the Infernal Heavens Killer Sword at that time.”

“Ha, this makes me savory again. Got it. I must be looking forward to the sparring with you, who has become a grand duke.”

At the end of this conversation, I was teleported to the mansion.

***

“Hound… . What’s going on?”

Mikaris’ worried voice. I feel like I’m going to cry when I see you right now. If the world goes on like this, it will betray you.

Looking at her, the tantrum he had been holding back for so long was on the verge of bursting.

“Hound… ?”

Warak. I fell into her arms I felt like crying, but I tried to hold it in.

“What is it? Please tell me.”

You won’t know until you tell me. Because Seri Verdia had already silenced it.

“Lady Verdia… … .”

“… … .”

Time stopped again. It wasn’t just time. The hand that was patting me also stopped. The only thing that touched me was Mika’s delicate breath.

“Mika.”

“Uh, huh? what’s the matter?”

“no. I’ll go.”

“Where?”

“To save the world.”

“… ?”

Mikaris looked at me with a puzzled face. I’d like to know what you mean

From her point of view, I suddenly became depressed when I had to hold a celebration party after decontamination. He immediately went to the ecliptic and finished his report, and was hugged to himself with a tearful face.

Even if I think about it, I would think of it as a patient.

rattle. I opened the door and went to Sojeon. He wondered if she was the same saint, if she was loved by the world, something would be different.

“Hound? What are you doing?”

“Sojeon. Follow me for a moment.”

I grabbed her hand and moved to a blind spot in the mansion unseen by others.

“Mr. Hound… . It’s embarrassing if you do this all of a sudden… .”

hmm?

Looking at it, Sojeon’s face was bright red.

I’m still in a hurry, but why is this lady like this again?

“no no. It’s not that strange.”

“… yes?”

“Sojeon. Do you know about Seri Verdia?”

“… ? I’m not sure what you’re talking about.”

Time did not stop. Sojeon is not affected?

“Sojeon. Who is Seri Verdia?”

“… Aren’t you the one who shared the purification of the South yesterday?”

ah,

Sojourns are not affected. Samuchi’s loneliness began to disappear. This is a relief. He shook his head and let out a hot breath.

“Why are you like that? What happened?”

“Sojeon. Listen carefully to my story from now on.”

I need to talk to her. what is my identity What is Seri Verdia doing? And what her intentions were.

“Seri Verdia will turn back time.”

“… yes?”

“No, I will tell you from the beginning. I am not a resident of this world.”

Sojourn’s eyebrows furrowed.

“What are you talking about? The conversation is so fast I don’t understand… .”

“It means I am from another world.”

“… Why are you saying that all of a sudden?”

“The world will turn around. If that happens, all the relationships we have built up to now will disappear and we will walk the fate we originally had to walk.”

Sojeon said in a trembling voice.

“So you’re saying I’m going back to the fate of being sold to that nobleman?”

“that’s right.”

“… … .”

Sojeon lowered his head. trembling hands. she was in fear

“Have you told anyone else? such a serious matter… !”

“The only ones who can talk about this right now are you and me.”

I shook my head.

“The moment I mention Seri Verdia, everyone stops moving as if something is broken. And you end up forgetting about her.”

“I can’t… .”

“Of course, I will never let this go. Because I am the only one who can change this world.”

“What can I, what can I do? I will do anything.”
