Chapter 447 - Secret Wedding 1 (1/2)

Around the end of the celebration party, Luke moved to a separate room and met with the ambassadors around the world.

The envoys offered gifts and shared friendship tokens between the two nations.

Luke wanted to have a smooth relationship between the other nations.

It was because he knew that that had to be the first thing he needed to do in order to revive his kingdom and go against the Baroque Empire.

Thanks to him being the Devil King 500 years ago, he had no intention of replicating the same situation that happened in the past.

‘To repeat the same mistakes in the past would mean I am nothing more than an idiot.’

When Luke was thinking, an unexpected envoy approached him.

“You are from the Baroque Empire?”

“That is right. I have a letter from His Majesty.”

The young nobles, who identified himself as Viscount Kurian, gave Luke the letter from Rudolf.

‘Would the Emperor celebrate my climb?’

Luke opened the letter with a doubt.

The handwriting of Rudolf, which was filled with arrogance and anger, caught his eyes.

‘Listen well, Luke de Rakan.

I have heard that you punished Mayers and the nobles. But why did you have to make a foolish move to go for the throne, which your enemy built, and create your own nation over there?

It’s not too late. Return to the Empire and be a part of Baroque and a noble from here.

If you continue to act foolishly, you will be erased from the world forever with a thousand Gigants and a million troops coming for you.’

“Huh, thousand Gigants and a million troops? I guess the Emperor is exaggerating.”

Even in Baroque’s past, the Empire had no such force.

However, currently, the nation was divided into three, and he could mobilize such force?

Luke chuckled at Rudolf’s words and looked at the man in front of him.

Viscount Kurian, who caught his eyes, was flustered. However, he tried to remain calm.

‘Quiet and calm. He isn’t an ordinary one. He might be a Sword Master?’

And as Luke thought, Kurian was indeed a Sword Master. A knight whom the emperor raised himself.

In fact, he was given a secret order to assassinate Luke.

However, the guards around Luke were very thorough, and Luke wasn’t willing to give any blindspot.

Also, he wasn’t a man that acted hastily, so Kurian had given up the thought of assassination.

“Go back and tell the Emperor that one day, I will come back with a spear in my hand.”

A spear in hand meant to hit Rudolf’s neck.

“Understood.”

Luke, who stayed calm, paused for a moment and watched Kurian.

‘The reason why he sent this man was to show me that he had such a knight by his side? I guess the Baroque Empire won’t fall so easily.’

Despite the rebellion and the invasion from the neighboring nations, the imperial power had accumulated for over 500 years, and it wouldn’t disappear so quickly.

He wasn’t sure how long the forces would stand, but Luke decided that he would never be careless when fighting against the Baroque Empire.

Whatever it was, Viscount Kurian went out, and the next envoy was from the Libiya Kingdom.

The representative was Count Felipe, who had visited Mayers for his ceremony.

“Uhm. Shaikan, well, King Reichard wants an alliance with me?”

“Yes, that is right. Our King sees Libiya and Symphonia walking on the same path.”

“Hmm, I understand.”

Luke had previously met with the Orc Hero, Shaikan.

That was why he knew what he wanted and his intentions when talking about an alliance so quickly.

“I also see a positive view of this alliance with Libiya. But, I think that it is necessary for us to have a more detailed conversation to make a treaty.”

“Then, are you saying you want a meeting?”

“Exactly. Sooner or later, the kings of the two nations will get a chance to meet,”

Luke wasn’t sure about the other nations, but he had no intention of making an alliance with the Libiya Kingdom.

So he thought that he should at least meet with Shaikan.

After talking a little more, he sent out the envoy of the Libiya Kingdom.

“Which nation is the next one?”

“Grenada.”

At the answer from Prime Minister Hans, Luke seemed shocked.

“What? Grenada?”

“That is right. Would you ask us to inform them to head back?”

“No, let them in, we’ll see.”

When Luke allowed them to enter, Hans signaled the guards.

It was then that a middle-aged man with a slight glow on his copper face came in with several people.

“I am Count Haran de Greg, the foreign minister of the Grenada Kingdom.”

When Count Greg bowed with a polite expression, Luke opened his mouth with a grim expression.

“Kuek, Count Greg. I never thought that an envoy of Grenada Kingdom would come.”

The Grenada Kingdom was at war with the Marquis of Rakan not long ago.

No, they unilaterally invaded the Marquis.

And it turned troublesome for Luke because the surprise attack of Milton came at the same time as well.

‘Such men send an envoy to celebrate by coronation, huh.’

Well, the reason was roughly understandable. However, Luke didn’t expect them to put up such shameless faces on an official event.

‘Maybe it’s because they are all pirates? Thick-skinned men.’

Luke’s body felt discomfort and released an overwhelming aura.
