Chapter 1 E 6 (Escape 2)
A halberd spear is being thrust toward Seria's chest.
”Who are you! To think a teleportation magic is being used inside the palace!” <tln: oh=”” i=”” guess,=”” this=”” is=”” a=”” castle=”” rather=”” than=”” fortress.=””>
A strike comes towards Seria together with an angry voice filled with a thirst for blood.
”This is an emergency! Tell that to His Majesty!”
Disregard the guard, Seria keep seeks an audience with the emperor.
That was natural.
Thus, it was natural for the guards wanting to hear the circ.u.mstance. However, Seria ignored the guard question.
It took around 10 seconds.
”What happen here! Seria Wookland! Aren't you too disrespectful!”
An angry voice by prime minister Dornest directed toward Seria who immediately kneels before the Emperor.
Seria clicked her tongue inside her mind.
Prime Minister Dornest is a very loyal retainer of the Emperor; however, he's very inflexible.
However. However, this time Seria has something that justifies her being hasty.
Even a prime minister cannot go against emperor's words.
After all, he's the one who leads the Empire conquering the central part of the western continent with power.
Ortomea Empire's first emperor Lionel Eisenheit, initially he was born as the third prince of the former Ortomea Kingdom situated in the mountainous region in the central part of the western continent.
Feel sad toward the present condition of his country, Leonel wants to rebuild the country.
In that process, Leonel himself had swung his sword on the battlefield several times.
Since then, he has fought for hegemony in the central part of the western continent.
Because Seria does not have any authority for that request.
After all, Gaies is Ortomea best magic user, alongside Dornest, they handled Ortomea internal affairs, diplomacy, and military affairs.
”I- It can't be. Gaies-dono is...”
”That's not possible. That's impossible you know! Seria!”
From their mouth comes out such words.
”No your majesty. Prime Minister-sama. It is the truth... Another worlder has killed Gaies Wookland.”
Seria suppressed her feeling of sadness and vexation then began explaining the situation.
It's the Emperor who broke the silence after ten seconds has pa.s.sed.
'Why?”
A very low voice.
The Emperor's hand grip strongly on the throne.
”I do not know what exactly had happened. There's no evidence nor a witness. However, looking at the situation, I can understand who's the criminal.”
”Who is it?”
”Today, Gaies-sama was planning to do summoning ceremony. Considering the murder scene is at the place of the summoning ritual took place, and all the escort soldiers also have been killed, the criminals is a person from another world.”
”I-It can't be. I cannot believe it...”
