[Why of course Give those aristocrats a little step then they'll ask for awith Silvia, a loud voice reverberated in the hall, announcing the emperor's arrival

The aristocrats hurriedly returned to their positions and bowed their heads

And the last name that was called upon… is the name that the aristocrats anticipated the reatest achievements…the little lord of the Schwarzer, Ares Schwarzer, please stand forward]

[Yes!]

When Ares headed out to meet Sephiros, the other aristocrats watched on

Their face was a mixture of jealousy and curiosity… On their mind were various speculations about Ares

Gilbert first reconfirmed ritten in the edict, then looked at Emperor Sephiros in disbelief… Sephiros

[Ares Schwarzer Your feats of taking down four countries and repelling the large horde of monsters, is unmatched even in the east or the west These kind of feats reatly]

Gilbert resu a short breather
