Fight the Emperor?

Lara quickly grabbed Isadora’s arm. Just because her mother was a plutocrat and the mother of a saintess, it did not mean she could stand up to the Emperor, who was no different than the owner of the land.

“Mother!”

“Lara, why are you fighting the demon alone? You need to know how many are on your side first.”

My side?

Lara blinked her eyes.

“Hey there, mother!”

From afar, Oscar ran towards Isadora while shouting.

“They’re released!”

“What do you mean released?”

“Demian and the two idiots! They’re released now!”

Said Oscar with a smile. He did think it would work but he did not expect them to be released this quickly. He added that this was all thanks to Lara and Isadora.

“How?”

Lara asked. Oscar rubbed his lips and explained.

“The dessert shop and the people involved in the incident went to the watchmen station and asked them to release the Barbarians. They said that they were at fault too.”

“After all this time?”

“It’s obvious that they got scared. They’re scared of us camping here, but they are also scared of becoming victims to the Emperor’s criticism should they be blamed for the Barbarians becoming Tarragon’s enemy.”

“What cowards.”

“That’s right.”

“Where’s Demian?”

“There he is.”

Oscar pointed one hand behind him. Three horses were approaching at full speed. Riding on top were Demian, Lampion, and Domino.

Demian was the first to get off the horse. He effortlessly jumped off the horse and walked straight towards Lara. Then, he bowed his head and greeted Isadora.

“How are you?”

“Demian.”

Isadora scanned through Demian. He was just in prison but he wore fine attire and did not seem too skinny. His face was perfectly good looking and his abilities were outstanding, making him a perfect match for Lara. He did not have the personality to be taken advantage of like a pushover and he was not the type to enjoy tormenting others.

Above all, it was obvious that he loved Lara like crazy.

And that was what Isadora liked the most. He did not seem too bad as her daughter’s romantic partner. Having come to such a conclusion, Isadora said to Demian.

“Just call me mother.”

This kind of development was so sudden. While Lara, who was about to welcome the three people, hesitated and got flustered, Demian smiled at Isadora and said.

“Yes, mother.”

[The Barbarians are angry and will no longer fight for Tarragon.

The law enforcement knights have realized their mistakes and have issued an apology. But the Barbarians, infuriated as they were, did not accept their apology.

Realizing the severity of the situation, the Imperial family has asked a foreign merchant to bring the Barbarians to Dandelion after long consideration. They are working under the table to make them the people of Tarragon.]

“…That’s what it says.”

Demian raised the corner of his lips to one side. Knowing that it was his style of smiling, Lara put down the weekly magazine she was holding and asked a little louder.

“Are you really not going?”

“Not going.”

“Even though Crown Prince Acerus is your dearest friend?”

“Not that dearest.”

If Acerus had listened to Demian just now, he might have burst into tears. Hearing that Demian had come out of prison, he came to the hotel late at night with his aide and complained all night long.

“I was scolded by my dad! You bastard, huuh? I will be 30 anytime soon. Do you know how shitty it feels to be scolded by your dad like a kid when you have reached this age? Do you even know? And I even got punished! He told me to go to the North and catch the demon. He looked like he would kick my ass if I whined to you for help!”

Dandelion was noisy with the news of the two subjugation expeditions from early in the morning. One would go to the Western Gorgon Mountain Range to hunt the demonic beasts and the other would go to the Northern border to hunt the demon. And the commander of the subjugation expedition heading North was Acerus, the Crown Prince of Tarragon.

“Mother, what kind of person is the Emperor of Tarragon?”

Lara asked Isadora, who was sitting and eating to her right. She was cutting vegetables impressively decorated on a wide plate.

“The Emperor of Tarragon?”

“Yes.”

“He was a passionate fool when he was young, but after getting married, getting a child, and being involved in politics for 30 years, he became a passionate snake.”

What type of snake is passionate?

Lara tilted her head. Demian once again smiled by raising the corner of his lips to one side. Then he told Isadora.

“That was the most appropriate evaluation of the Emperor I have ever heard while living in Tarragon.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”
