Chapter 275. Country of Sakura, Cherin and Seven Holy Swords [46]

Sebas-san asked me to join the Black Organization out of nowhere.

「Emperor Burrell Ronelia… wants me?」

「Aa, yes. The Emperor has a very high evaluation of Allen – your honed swordsmanship, young age of fifteen, hidden potential, and, above all, the spirit core inside you that has displayed overwhelming strength “beyond phantom spirits”. In fact, His Majesty directly said, “He still seems to be undeveloped at the moment, but he is a man who can reach the seat of Four Knights in the future.」

「…That’s quite a high praise.」

It is rather unpleasant when praised by your enemy’s boss.

「Fuu, that’s natural, isn’t it? After all, you took down three of the Thirteen Knights of the Oracle – Fu Rudras, Rain Glad, and Gregor Ash – all on your own. Moreover, you escaped from Belios Castle located in the centre of the Empire without suffering any casualty. Your name is now known all throughout the Empire.」

He continued further.

「Joining the Holy Ronelia Empire wouldn’t be a bad deal for Allen either, you know? In that country, power is justice. A swordsman of your caliber can accumulate wealth, fame, and power. So, won’t you join us?」

Sebas extended his right hand for a handshake.

(Joining the Black Organization, huh.)

That’s not even a funny joke.

「I am very sorry, but I am going to have to refuse. There is no chance of me defecting to the Empire.」

Black Organization is the worst criminal organization that brings fear and chaos to this peaceful world.

I will never swing this sword of mine for them even if heaven and earth were turned upside down.

And when I rejected with resolve,

「Yes, I guess so. I think that’s better for Allen, too.」

Sebas-san pulled back his extended hand and smiled with no hint of disappointment.

「You gave up quite easily.」
