Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 499

 

Empress



The name of the girl who was protected by my husband while pretending to be a man was Thule.


The name of the country where she was born is the Kingdom of Selmesia and the name of the city is Valtlesia.


The king was present at the meeting held at the border between Shelma and Marguerite.



"W-Who are you!"


"Who am I? You guys don't even know the face of your own king!"



King of Selmesia Kingdom


I, the Empress, represent the Emperor.



"The lord should be here. Let's see what he has to say!"




――――――――――――




The lord's face was covered in sweat.



"Lord Samare, what does this mean?"



King Selmesia throws a bundle of paper at the lord.



"Th-This is…"


"I won’t let you say you don’t know, okay?"



It contains information from after the existence of the Empire became public knowledge.


Taxation, tax increase, collection


Every plunder is written for and against the empire.


Taxes are 19 times higher than in other cities.


No delinquency will be tolerated.


If you cannot pay immediately on the spot, your property will be taken away.



"Samare, where did you take them?"


"T-that's..."


"Where!"



King Selmesia violently bangs on the desk and threatens him.



"I-It's the Empire! The Empire! I'm being threatened by that vixen!"


"You're telling lies that even a child can understand!"


"T-to the Kingdom of Marguerite!"



The Empire is short of manpower, but would they do such a thing?


From there, he makes excuses for the king's pursuit by blaming other countries.


It seems that the king's patience has finally reached its limit due to the lie of the lord's words.


The iron fist was finally brought down


The lord was blown away to the wall.


Various things in the room scattered



"This is the last time, what are you aiming for?"



King Selmesia pulls out the sword from his waist.


If he still lies about this, he's really going to kill him.



"H… hii…"


"Answer!"


"Hiii! Holy King..."



The moment he uttered those words, a hole opened in the lord's head and blood gushed out.



"King Selmesia!"



The accompanying imperial soldiers immediately raised their shields to protect the king.


There were many bullet holes in the shield.



"Nuh! What is this?"


"King Selmesia, we're surrounded."



I feel a presence outside


I think the number was 50 people.



"Empress…"


"No problem. From here on, it's the Empire's turn."


"Can I leave it to you?"


"Yeah, no problem."



There are only 10 soldiers here.


We are at an overwhelming disadvantage in numbers, but



"Serve as the king's bodyguard."


"Ha! Good luck!"



I roll up the skirt of my dress


I tie it at the waist to secure it


I roll up the sleeves and secure them with a string


Then, I equip the gauntlets that were hidden inside my skirt and complete my preparations for battle.



"The named Empress, the Dragonbone Fist Queen, Serecloir Bardmer. This battle will mark the first official service on another continent!"
