Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

30 – 29.

“Was Shien and your princess related?”

She would have reported to Nana Peltz if she had started dating because of her personality.

Also, if what I know is correct, Duke Pale’s daughter, Riel, would also like Shien.

“Not yet. But it will be soon.”

“Tsk.”

What would happen if Shien and the elf princess were connected?

Inside, she calculated this or that and then quit.

“If Xian wants it.”

Even if Shien marries an elf and damages her empire, she won’t do as much damage as she would if Shien couldn’t kill her demon lord.

I didn’t plan to start an all-out war with the elves right away anyway, but rather, I was planning to buy time until the power of mankind was united, so it wasn’t really a loss.

Speaking of her true intentions, she doesn’t even want to interfere in the dating history of Shien, whom she regards as a friend.

“Come in first. As her landlord, I can’t keep her guests standing forever.”

The green dragon Arbo guided me into the Great Forest.

“The humans who have entered this Great Forest are not yet warm. I am honored to know.”

The Great Forest, guided by the Green Dragon, was truly magnificent.

There are several well-known forests in the empire, but they are so wide that they cannot even be compared to them, and trees so high that it makes your throat hurt when you look up are lined up everywhere, making you feel as if you have come to another world.

In addition,

“How many barriers are there?”

There were countless barriers that were of no lower level than those of the imperial palace, and it seemed that few people would not even be able to set foot in the Great Forest unless they were guided by their master.

“Because safety is the elf motto.”

“Did you hit it yourself?”

“I hit the outermost one, the elves hit the rest.”

Even the level of the barrier that the elves hit directly was never low.

On our side, no.

Not only the empire, but even the entire human race, how many people can pass through this barrier?

“What do you think?”

“I was thinking how many humans could pass through this barrier.”

“… Hey, aren’t you being too honest?”

“Is there any reason not to?”

“My God, blood really sucks.”

Arvo sighed and spoke as if admonishing me.

“Don’t think about it. No matter how you pass this barrier, fighting the elves in this great forest is suicidal.”

In Arbo’s words, pride for Daesoorim came out.

“And it’s not just elves here.”

“That’s right.”

The more I looked at it, the more I sighed as the strength of the elves was stronger than expected.

Even if that old dragon were excluded, the elves wouldn’t be weaker than humans combined, because a guy like that is holding out.

“That law. Is it still valid?”

“Are you asking me about that… ?”

If I attack the elves, will you intervene?

Arrbo looked at me as if he were looking at me like a madman.

“If you don’t want to answer, that’s fine.”

You can ask the Grand Duke later.

“The law remains, but the situation where the transcendental base is attacked is an exception.”

Arbo said that if the great forest was attacked, he would stand up, and if the empire were attacked, Artemia could stand up.

“Not very good news.”

“Did you lose your family to the elves?”

No. I heard that the previous emperor was killed by demons.

I answered Arbo when he asked me why I hated elves so much.

“Well, isn’t it stronger than the Empire?”

The empire should be the strongest on the continent, but I hate it because the elves are stronger than that.

At my answer, Arbo sighed and said,

“… You are crazy.”

“I know.”

As I followed Arbo into the depths of the Great Forest, the elves came into my eyes one by one.

Whether it was because there were already other humans in the great forest, or because I was with Arbo, there was no sign of being wary of me.

“So, how long are you going to walk?”

No matter how you look at it, this forest is not big enough to walk back and forth. How long are you going to walk there?

Isn’t it necessary to move in space or at least ride a carriage?

To my question, this dragon answered calmly.

“Stop doing that and look around. Where can I go to see something like this?”

“Jim is not here to tour.”

“Eh, tsk tsk.”

Then Arbo made a small gesture, and we moved to the elven capital in an instant.

“Uh… ?”

“Your Majesty… ?”

There, I could see Shien surrounded by his comrades.

———————————————————————————

The capital of the elves, the heart of the great forest where the world tree is located, was in full swing right now.

Bright music resonated throughout the forest, and a group of warriors with food in both hands came into sight as various foods were sold everywhere.

“It’s been a while. How have you been?”

“Yes, thanks to Your Majesty’s consideration, I was able to enjoy the trip with my colleagues. That, His Majesty. You have changed a lot.”

As if saying that he had enjoyed the trip wasn’t empty talk, Shien seemed to be very happy, showing no sign of exhaustion.

At the same time, I felt that it was fortunate that I was in such a good mood after all that hard work, and that I was playing comfortably when I was not like Empire.

By the way, I didn’t show any energy, but as expected, I can see that I’ve risen to the top when it’s around noon.

I said with a small nod.

“A lot has happened since you left the Empire. So I needed to be strong.”

“If you say a lot… “

“First of all, there was one attempt at treason, but that is not very important.”

“Yes?!?!”

I looked at Shien’s colleague Riel Fail, who reacted in amazement at the word treason as I continued.

“Duke Lorne Pale is badly wounded.”

“… !”

“My father… He said he was seriously injured… ?”

At that, Riel’s face went pale, and her colleagues looked at her with a worried expression.

“Wait, then why are you here?”

“That’s right, Seria.”

It was Arbo who answered the elf princess’s words on my behalf.

“The Emperor came here to get the Elixir.”

At her words, Seria seemed to be immersed in her troubles, but I didn’t pay attention to her.

After all, the authority to handle the elixir belongs to her queen, not her.

“Me, Your Majesty.”

Seeing Riel cautiously talking to me, I answered while trying to be as kind as possible.

“Don’t worry. He said there was no harm in her life. The Duke is currently resting in the Holy Kingdom, so it won’t get any worse. Also, if you have the elixir, you can recover again, so you have nothing to worry about.

But if you’re really worried, you might want to pay a visit to the hospital. The duke cares about you a lot.”

After seeing her nodding her head at my words, I looked at her and said.

” Sien. Duke of Audas. I’m sorry, but I want you to return to the Empire now.”

The two counts harbored a rebellion and the Duke of Pale was seriously injured.

In a situation where the scars from the war with the Demon King have not yet fully recovered, the power of the empire has weakened, and there is a great mage who is strong enough to defeat the first sword of the empire. In this situation, what would happen if other kingdoms rose up in response to Edelwein?

I don’t think the Grand Duke will step in to a war between humans, and even if the Grand Duke does, I don’t want to owe her any more, so it would be best to get Shien’s help for now.

Sien’s presence alone will be a strong deterrent, so as long as he is in the Empire, Anon and the prudent Zer, at least aware of its power, will not move.

To my serious tone, Xian replied with a firm face.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Arbo, guide me to the queen.”

“Okay. Seria, see you later.”

Leaving the warriors lost in their own thoughts, I followed Arbo to the Elf Queen.

“Oh, hey. Do you know my wife’s name?”

“What… ? Ah, the world tree?”

The more I looked at it, the more I thought that this dragon was out of arms, so I replied casually.

“Yes! In fact, the world tree is just a title. You are the emperor, but isn’t that your name? Oh, come to think of it, I haven’t even heard your name yet.”

“Raios. I know the last name.”

“hahahaha, no matter how much you are not interested in the continent, you don’t know about Arhan. So, do you know the name of the World Tree?”

“I don’t know.”

“I guess so. Nowadays, everyone just calls her the World Tree, so even among the elves, there are even kids who don’t know her name. Still, I’ll be seeing her soon, so shouldn’t I know her name?”

Like Arvo said, the tree with a very powerful energy, the World Tree, began to come into view.

“Regina. That’s her name I remember two.”
