“Is Karl in trouble?”

“Yes, we don’t know where he is…”

Karen shook her head as Hwang Bo-sung was trying to explain, rolling up her dress’ sleeves, she spoke, “I’ll find him. So there is no need to inform the Imperial troops.”

“P-princess will?”

“I know where he went.”

Answering, Karen immediately used teleport magic.

She moved to the suburbs of the capital.

The place where Gigants were tested—the Gigants of the Katarina Magic Tower.

In that field was a little boy watching two Gigants battle.

“Woah, what good will attacking like that do?! Put a little more swing in that sword!”

When the red Gigant he was cheering for was bushed by the blue Gigant, he jumped up in frustration.

“Ugh, why stab there! Even I would be better than…”

“Yah!”

The body of the little prince, Karl, went stiff.

“S-sister!”

“You have no sense of fear! What is there was an accident. You came here all alone!”

“Ahahaha! It hurts! Hurtsss!!!”

Karen pulled Karl’s ear.

Unlike the Gigant Arena, the test fields weren’t equipped with defense magic circles, so if there was an accident, it would become a huge mess.

And without getting permission, he was out roaming n such fields!

“Because of you, the Imperial Palace has turned into a mess. What are you thinking, running away from home?!”

“I didn’t run away!”

“What?! What are you saying you didn’t run away?!”

As the two were fighting, Karen raised her fist to punch some sense into him.

Right then, someone held her hand.

The identity of the person made Karen go into shock.

“Dad?”

“It has been long, Karen. How is the Holy Empire? It was said that they were worried as it didn’t rain for a long time.”

Instead of answering her father’s words, Karen spoke back, “Did dad bring Karl out?”

“It was because he wanted to see the new Gigant.”

Just like Luke, Karl was very interested in Gigants.

His room was decorated with Gigant models.

Luke too thought of putting his son’s interest in a good way.

So, he brought the kid over to the test field of the Gigants. That was why the red Gigant was getting pushed.

Luke was in the blue Gigant, which currently had its breastplate open.

“Even if it was you! How can you take him out without saying anything?! Everyone is worried!”

“I guess that Gigant test took some time. I was in a hurry and didn’t stop to inform them…”

Despite Luke’s excuses, Karen’s gaze was cold.

“Just so you know, I am telling mom.”

“Ehh, come on…”

Before Luke could think of any other excuse, Karen teleported back.

It seemed like she was really going to tell her mother.

“Ahh, we are in a mess.”

For Luke, Reina was more terrifying than the Demon King he fought 10 years back.

She was scary when it came to child education.

Unlike the freedom she had given to Karen in the past, she took Karl seriously.

Not because he was the crown prince who had to rule the empire at one point in the future after Luke, but it was because Karl was born in an era of peace and was a spoiled child.

“I am going to hear a lot of nagging today.”

“Dad, you are a hero who saved the continent. Why do you act so weak in front of mom?”

Luke stroked the head of his son who was grunting and grumbling.

“Because your mom was the one who made me a hero.”

Without her, Luke wouldn’t succeed.

Think about the past for a moment, Luke and his son went to the Imperial Palace.

The excitement of battles had ended a long time ago. Things of that time were now history.

There was sone tedious and cumbersome things that went on for Luke, but time was too precious that he wouldn’t wish for anything else.

Because of that, he managed to get a peaceful life with Reina.

Even though Reina’s nagging was a little loud, he wished for this peaceful life to continue.
