The Alice Carroll incident took place in Imperial territory.

 

The seriousness of the situation was too great for the Merhen Academy to deal with. Therefore, it was a natural flow for the royal family to deal with the Alice Carroll case.

 

I felt the imperial knights’ wariness toward me. The same was true of the Royal Guard, Imperial Knights, and Imperial Wizards who made up the punitive force.

 

They are all guardians of the kingdom. They were people of conviction who would pull out their swords and staffs without hesitation if their opponents were for the sake of the kingdom.

 

But.

 

“I was the one who solved this case.”

 

I replied cynically.

 

“Without me, the empire would have suffered massive casualties and astronomical loss of property.”

 

Honestly, I was the one who called Mephisto, and it was I who put the academy into a crisis that wasn’t a crisis.

 

But anyway, Mephisto’s army was the ones who would attack someday. Without me, who received the power of the system, it was clear that a disaster would have occurred.

 

In addition, the choice also had the purpose of expanding the power of bringing Alice Carroll to the evil spirits subjugation team.

 

＜Merchen’s Magic Knight＞ Hell Difficulty requires the control ability of the player character, Ian Fairytale, to the limit.

 

I needed as many good powers as possible in the Heart Kingdom to escort Ian, fight against the evil spirits, and at the same time avoid causing as many victims as possible.

 

In other words, all of my actions were also for the sake of the Empire. There was nothing to bow down to even if he acted tough.

 

“So you yield to the suspects. I will decide what to do with them.”

 

Vice-captain Magrio frowned at my resolute remark.

 

“Are you serious? That would get you in trouble… .”

 

“Magrio.”

 

Jacule Calix, the leader of the punitive force and the royal guard, stepped forward.

 

The Imperial Knights and vice-captain Magrio got out of the way, and Jacul stood in front of me. Considering who I am, it seemed that he, who had the highest rank among the knights of the imperial family gathered here, had stepped forward himself.

 

A middle-aged man with a sturdy physique who is about 190 cm tall. Deep wrinkles were engraved like waves on his face.

 

The sword at his waist proves that he is the Royal Guard, the special force of the Empire.

 

Jacule glared at me with thin eyes.

 

[ Jacule Calix ]

 

Lv : 178

 

race: human

 

Attribute: Wind, Fire

 

Risk level: low

 

Psychology: [I am prepared to fight you. ]

 

The risk is ‘low’. The low risk rating at level 178 meant that Jacule had no will to fight ‘immediately’.

 

If it were to happen, they would try to target my neck with the treasured sword that was the treasure of the kingdom.

 

Whether Jaqul’s danger level would disappear or increase would depend on how the situation was going.

 

“Greetings to the supreme Bingje. The Imperial Knights, the Royal Guard, are called ‘Jakul Calix’. We sincerely thank you for solving the case. If there is a reward you want, we will give it to you as much as possible at the imperial level. But.”

 

Jacule emphasizes ‘but’. He glared at me, but politely spoke in a thick voice.

 

“Alice Carroll’s personal situation is difficult to yield. In addition to this incident, various cases of demons appearing in the kingdom so far, information on internal communication with demons, purpose of demons, finding out the truth, etc… . The woman is at the heart of some very important issues that our kingdom needs to address. It means that there are a lot of things that violate the laws of the kingdom.”

 

Even at the imperial level, it was difficult to give up Alice Carol. I understand.

 

“So, if you intend to interfere with the enforcement of imperial laws… . Excuse me, but no matter how much Bingje is our opponent, we will risk our lives and use force. Are you okay?”

 

Jacul’s hand rested on the sword at his waist.

 

“… … .”

 

I widened my field of vision as I looked at Jacule.

 

A white eagle wearing golden ornaments was watching us from the roof of a nearby building. He was the familiar of Emperor Carlos.

 

You must be receiving real-time reports on the situation in Academy Square through your familiar. expected Because a new Wonwang called ‘I’ has appeared.

 

Emperor Carlos of the Gerber Empire tried to establish friendly relations with all Wonwang as much as possible. It was because each one of the Wonwang was too strong.

 

However, the reason why Emperor Carlos comes out in a low profile against King Wen is that order and peace are the top priority values. If there is a king who just goes out ignoring the laws of the kingdom, he will be hostile by any means.

 

Emperor Carlos, like an emperor, had a resolute determination based on value judgments.

 

What I have done so far has been based on the purpose of stopping evil spirits.

 

And the place where evil spirits are resurrected is here, the land of the empire, Marchen Academy, and the key elements for subjugating evil spirits are also gathered here.

 

In other words, if I, who is carrying Dupendorf here, ruins my relationship with the Empire while watching even blood with the Imperial Knights.

 

Remaining in the most important stage, Merchen Academy, and later seeking help from the Empire to subdue the evil spirits would be difficult.

 

This could be seen as a result that greatly conflicted with my purpose.

 

‘then.’

 

I had to pass this situation safely and bring the emperor or at least an agent equivalent to him to the negotiating table.

 

There is nothing good between us and the imperial family because we see each other’s blood.

 

“Isaac.”

 

As I was thinking about it, I heard Alice’s voice from behind. Jacul’s gaze turned to Alice.

 

I looked back.

 

“Path.”

 

The ranks of General Dupendorf’s troops were split in half in an instant.

 

I went straight ahead and stood facing Alice closely. She draped the magic camouflage outfit I gave her over her shoulders and gently grabbed her collar.

 

I looked into Alice’s pale pink eyes. It was to get a little bit of her heart.

 

“Baby, I am ready for anything. You don’t have to create friction with the kingdom because of me.”

 

Alice spoke in a small, calm voice that only I could hear.

 

It was what I expected. A smile that seems useless and understanding. I must have judged my gains and losses arbitrarily.

 

Alice was in a position where she would have to be prepared for countless tortures, less-than-human treatment, and execution if captured by the Empire. The same goes for paladins.

 

These guys were determined to humbly accept any outcome even if they defended themselves diligently.

 

“And, the baby must do… .”

 

“Hey, Alice.”

 

That was something I wouldn’t allow.

 

“Do you remember what I said? Live with atonement next to me.”

 

Alice’s expression hardened. She nodded.

 

“Then stay still. I won’t give up on you.”

 

He said in a cold tone.

 

Alice bowed her head. He seemed to be thinking a lot.

 

He sighed, patted Alice on the shoulder, and tried to return to Jacule Calix.

 

Then Alice grabbed my hand, which had patted my shoulder, and put it to her neck.

 

“… … ?”

 

Cool Alice’s neck. She rubbed my hand gently on her neck. It was as if he wanted to feel the texture of his skin.

 

In succession, Alice raised her head again and wore her characteristic gentle smile. However, the pupils were determined.

 

“baby.”

 

At that moment, the sensation I felt when I rode my hand on Alice’s neck and made a contract with Dupendorf’s troops was clearly engraved.

 

His eyes widened in surprise for a moment, but he grasped Alice’s intentions and immediately captured his expression.

 

“I will give you Take it.”

 

A sweet voice softly rang in my ears.

 

I suddenly remembered the conversation I had with Alice in the bottomless pit.

 

I revealed that my purpose is to subdue the evil spirits. So, Alice had been told to risk her life to subdue the evil spirits if she was going to atone.

 

‘I will give myself away’. That would mean that you will become my strength in the most certain way to subdue the evil spirits.

 

I turned back to Alice and looked at her. Her eyes had a calm expression on my face.

 

“… Are you okay?”

 

“If the baby won’t give up on me, that seems like the best way to atone. And the bet… , I think I lost.”

 

If it was a bet, there was no choice but which side would have the opponent in mind first. I couldn’t tell if he was serious or joking when he said that while laughing at this situation.

 

I cleared my mind. It took a while.

 

Then Alice spoke up.

 

“Will you promise me? You will stay by my side from now on.”

 

He nodded.

 

“… I’ll promise.”

 

Alice smiled and gently stroked my hand on her neck.

 

Our intentions coincided.

 

Woo woo woo.

 

Light blue light flowed from my hand. The light wrapped around Alice’s neck and carved a brand.

 

The brand new mark on Alice’s neck subtly reflected the color of my magical power. It was a proof that Alice Carroll was mine.

 

It was the moment Alice and I signed a minion contract.

 

“… … !!”

 

Everyone in the square was surprised. In particular, Dorothy, Luce, Kaya, and Paladin were the most shocked faces.

 

A human being cannot be someone’s familiar or servant. It wasn’t because of a moral problem, but because the source of man’s magical power was structured so that it could not be contracted. That is, it was fundamentally impossible.

 

However, it was not the current Alice. Because this is an exceptional case.

 

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

 

Mephisto of the contract manipulated the composition of the magic source so that even Alice could become a minion with the absolute authority of the contract. So, Alice was Mephisto’s minion until “Act 9, Alice Subjugation”, and she had that stigma engraved on her neck.

 

So Alice just tried to see if she could make a minion contract with me, and we both felt it was possible. Because the source of her magical power was already manipulated.

 

In the end, we had a master-servant relationship by merging our doctors.

 

With this, Alice became my ally and minion. She is mine, and must absolutely obey my orders.

 

This also meant that Alice belonged to Dupendorf, and it was also a story that we made the Heart Kingdom our subject.

 

He fell away from Alice and turned his back.

 

Glancing at the imperial knights and the punitive force, he showed the clear mark of the brand on Alice’s neck.

 

I shouted out loud.

 

“Listen!”

 

It was a public declaration.

 

“Alice Carroll has become my minion! As a result, all of her familiars and troops are mine!”

 

Queen of Hearts – Alice.

 

Stranger – Cheshire.

 

Nightmare Dragon – Jabberwock.

 

Tiger Dragon – Bandersnatch.

 

Paladin.

 

Demonic minions, including contact birds.

 

Trump troops.

 

All power in the Heart Kingdom has become mine.

 

Vice-captain Magrio Halfent shook his fist. It was a complex mixture of bewilderment, anger, and fear. It’s probably because it’s the first time I’ve ever seen a human make a minion contract with a human.

 

It was my newly acquired identity as ‘Ice Emperor’ that gave it legitimacy. Because archmages originally perform unbelievable miracles that transcend human common sense. Would the Ice Wizard be an exception?

 

Royal Guard Jacule Calix narrowed his eyes and glared at me.

 

I walked forward again and confronted Jaqul, who was at the forefront of the punitive force and the Imperial Knights.

 

He said, staring into his eyes full of displeasure.

 

“So I decide what to do with them and what to do with them. Touching them will be taken as a challenge to Dupendorf and to me.”

 

I was going to protect people while fighting against the existence of evil spirits.

 

No matter how unrealistic the wish was, bravado, bravado, arrogance, or stupidity, I was determined to make it happen.

 

And that target included Alice.

 

Jacule closed his mouth and bit his teeth. I noticed it when I saw the muscles in his face moving.

 

“… Please reconsider.”

 

Eventually, Jacule spoke in a slightly trembling voice. still staring at me

 

“Having Alice Carroll as a member of Dupendorf means that Dupendorf will take full responsibility for this incident. And again, Alice Carroll is accused of colluding with the demons. It means that all the events of the occurrence of demons in this land may be related to Alice Carroll. entire… Are you willing to bear it?”

 

I understood Jacul’s intentions. It was no longer a matter for them to decide on their own, so they threatened me by citing responsibility for compensation.

 

However, the opinions of those who could not decide this issue at will were irrelevant.

 

“Can you handle it? … Who is to say?”

 

know your location

 

The one I had to see was Emperor Carlos. Since the situation turned into a diplomatic issue, Jaculo, the royal guard, had no choice but to wait for the emperor’s will.

 

Jacule frowned.

 

It was then.

 

A white eagle adorned with golden ornaments flew into Academy Square.

 

It was the familiar of Emperor Carlos, who had been watching us from earlier. Emperor Carlos seemed to have decided that he had to step in now.

 

The punitive force and imperial knights, including Jacul, reflexively greeted each other with knightly manners, and the eagle familiar landed on Jacul’s shoulder.

 

The familiar whispered to Jacule in a low voice, then walked away again. Emperor Carlos seemed to have given the order.

 

Jacule bowed his head at me.

 

“His Majesty the Emperor says he will come here within three nights. He asked me to tell him that he wanted to see Bingje.”

 

It was hardly three days to get here from Byans, the capital of the empire.

 

It wouldn’t be known if even a fast and large monster would come riding, of course the emperor would come here in an elegant carriage.

 

It seemed that he had been coming to Marchen Academy for a long time.

 

“I will hand over the identity of those involved in the Alice Carroll case for now.”

 

“Is it Hwangmyeong?”

 

“That’s right. It is an order not to touch Bingje’s people as much as possible. As for the specific issue, His Majesty the Emperor said he would like to discuss it directly with Bingje-nim.”

 

Emperor Carlos seemed to have judged that there was nothing good about hating each other anymore.

 

Alice, who was suspected of colluding with the demons in the first place, and I, who had slain the demons and protected the people, had a completely conflicting relationship. Since we ate the team, Emperor Carlos seemed to be trying to figure out my thoughts first.

 

“sorry. Please forgive the rudeness earlier.”

 

When Jacule apologized, both the punitive force and the Imperial Knights bowed their heads to me. It seemed that he had heard bad things from the emperor.

 

I watched them calmly and turned my back.

 

The troops of Dupendorf lined up left and right and walked leisurely along the path given.
