Spreading ice crystals.

 

The massive and powerful explosion of ice magic shattered the 2nd Corps Commander Karius’ solid ice barrier and swallowed him.

 

Isaac cast [Freezing Blast] just enough to subdue Karius, so Karius was hit in the gut and flew like a ball, crashing into the wall.

 

The ice mass, which was created in an instant with the explosion, immediately turned into magical powder and melted into the air.

 

“Heuk!”

 

Karius screamed out loud.

 

‘absence… I didn’t.’

 

I got hit even without being careless.

 

Isaac’s movements were far outside the predicted range.

 

Surprise preceded skepticism.

 

Is it body strengthening magic? No, if it was that kind of magic, he would have sensed the magic and dealt with it right away. In other words, the pure ability of Bingje was evident.

Not to mention, the defense that Karius was confident in was easily shattered like a window.

 

It’s this far with only one sum. When the level is so different, rather than hurting your pride, you end up feeling awe.

 

It felt like I was facing a solid wall that I couldn’t get over and couldn’t break down.

 

The chill that seeped into his bones greatly slowed his physical activity and caused intense pain. He even tried to distance himself from consciousness, but Karius managed to hold on to his spirit.

 

It was unacceptable to him to be defeated in a duel, and even with just one shot.

 

That was when I raised my head.

 

“It’s slow, even standing up.”

 

“… … !”

 

Isaac had already reached Karius.

 

‘This street, already… ?’

 

Karius couldn’t understand. It was as if Isaac was defying even the laws of physics.

 

“If it was a real battle, you would have already died.”

 

Wow!!

 

After uttering an emotionless word, Isaac landed a kick at Karius’ head. It was mighty and nimble.

 

The sound of bones breaking. A short burst of wind pressure blew Karius’ body away.

 

As it was, Karius rolled on the ground and collapsed before losing consciousness.

 

“… Dalian ends. It is the victory of the lord.”

 

The sparring is over.

 

It didn’t even turn out to be a win.

 

Dorhan, the commander of the 1st corps, and Azabel, the 3rd corps commander, broke into a cold sweat. Knowing the strength of Karius, this absurdly short sparring felt very dramatic.

 

Erich, the commander of the 4th Corps, narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully.

 

“How, how… ?”

 

Azabel sighs.

 

The only thing I read Isaac’s movements was the movement of his feet. It was comparable to teleportation.

 

It would have been surprising if he knew how to use teleportation-type magic.

 

Rather, it was more surprising and attractive because it was not a teleportation.

 

To think that he possessed physical strength as well as ice magic, which was his main specialty while being a former king. The sum from just before was something beyond perfection.

 

How can you fight so elegantly? Where the hell did that ignorant strength come from?

 

He was truly a strong man worthy of the title of ‘Ice Emperor’. Recalling Isaac’s heroic story and the sparring just before, Azabel felt moved.

 

The corners of her lips curled up.

“Heal me.”

 

He instructed Dorhan, who was looking at Karius with a surprised face. While chinning towards Karius.

 

“All right. treatment.”

 

“yes!”

 

Dorhan conveyed my instructions to the waiting servants.

 

The servants approached Karius and used healing magic.

 

“Does anyone else have something to do?”

 

I asked the rest of the corps commanders in turn. I’m going to have to solve all the hoepo in one room.

 

Soon, Azabel, the commander of the 3rd Corps, rushed towards me with sparkling eyes.

 

“Zooguuun!”

 

“uh?”

 

Azabel bent one knee in front of me. Even when he was groaning, he felt great power.

 

Asabelle looked up impatiently and fired a glistening glare at me.

 

why is he like this

 

“It was a perfect match! A person who is worthy of serving me! I can’t be this honored to serve my lord!”

 

I was so excited.

 

“Hey, calm down… .”

 

“Azabel, Commander of the 3rd Corps, I am fascinated by your master’s strength! I swear on this spot that I will dedicate my life to serving only my lord for the rest of my life!”

 

Azabel Silverwolf. He was the most reckless muscle-brain among the four corps commanders, but he was also the most trustworthy.

 

Just now, it seemed that I was moved by the way I was a fan of Karius. The delicate [Freeze Explosion] that Gerald taught me.

 

Since he used skills that would be surprising even to a common man, it must be shocking to Azabel, who has a knack for fighting.

 

‘It feels good.’

 

I want to take care of him as the number one priority.

 

I may look small, but I am also human. I had no choice but to go to the person who wanted to look good to me from the beginning.

 

As I tapped Azabel on the shoulder, she was delighted as if even the physical contact was an honor.

 

The other corps commanders were also surprised by me.

Now that I had been proven to be able to easily subdue the corps commander, I felt a sense of desolation beyond awe.

 

“Erich.”

 

“yes.”

 

Erich, the commander of the 4th Corps, answered my call with an innocent smile.

 

“You sympathized with Karius earlier, right? If you have any complaints about me, let’s settle it here.”

 

“You are beyond my expectations. He’s so powerful that I don’t have any complaints anymore.”

 

Although his tone was crushed due to his drunkenness, Erich was sincere.

 

“I see.”

 

These guys are my subordinates, and it’s the first time I met them. It wasn’t a bad thing to show a cautious attitude until I saw my own skills.

 

There was no need to strain unnecessarily anymore.

 

“Then I’m glad.”

 

I put on my glasses again.

 

“Your business is over. Disband.”

 

I left the arena.

 

I heard the sound of clothes and armor behind me. It was the sound of the corps commanders saluting me.

 

… …

 

“Hey!”

 

“You are the agent.”

 

“Yes! My name is Richard Matthews, the 23rd acting lord!”

 

“Uh, yes… .”

 

In the drawing room, I met the fussy agent. He was a middle-aged man with gray hair and beard, and the shadows around his eyes stood out.

 

I sat on a chair, and Richard Matthews, the acting manager, was on one knee in front of me.

 

Including her servants, Alice Carol and the humanoid Ice and Snow Dragon-Heeld were watching us from a distance.

 

“Heilde. What is the agent?”

 

[As far as I remember, it’s a position that replaces Bingje. It can be performed on a limited basis in lieu of the duties of the Ice Emperor. The previous owner set it that way.]

 

“I see.”

 

I overheard Alice and Heald’s conversation at first glance. Hild managed to remember what happened a thousand years ago.

 

Being an agent was a role similar to that of the prime minister in my previous country.

 

“Keuheub, to be able to serve Bingje-sama while I was alive… ! I never thought I would enjoy such an honor for the rest of my life!”

 

Richard, the agent who blushes as if he is about to shed tears of emotion.

 

Isn’t the pretense too severe?

 

‘It’s just that I’m happy to be able to hit you.’

 

It seemed that the joy of finally being relieved of work was great. Well, because what he’s doing is what I’m supposed to do. Is it absurd to say that you hit me in the middle of the day?

 

Perhaps, at first, the original Bingje might have created the position of agent with the intention of beating him.

 

‘It’s still human.’

 

I liked it because it was very human. It means that this kind of person has been working hard with a sense of responsibility. The taste of power would have been nice, though.

 

Still, since he is also a person with a good moral reputation, I rather felt a crush on him. Even if you look at [Psychology], it doesn’t seem like there’s anything bad about it.

 

“By the way, did you hear that I plan to go back to the kingdom and come back later?”

 

“Yes, of course.”

 

“I am sorry.”

 

“No. If Your Highness has a will to accomplish, it is my role to support this country while waiting for the will to be fulfilled.”

 

The acting manager, Richard, was only regretful, but did not show any sign of dislike.

 

I felt like I would have to work hard for about a year more, so I was happy to see it as a benefit anyway. I’m glad it’s positive.

 

“The coronation ceremony is the day after tomorrow, so have a good rest until then. For Your Highness, who is like heaven, I will risk my life to serve you with all my heart.”

 

There’s no need for that. It was burdensome.

 

“uh… , Thank you, Richard.”

 

“No, my dear! … By the way. If you don’t mind, can I ask you one question?”

 

“huh. What?”

 

Richard cautiously asked, looking sideways at Alice and Heald.

 

“Perhaps, among the honored guests brought by the lord, which of them will be the main wife… ?”

 

Are you asking about Dorothy, Alice, and Heald?

 

Among them, Dorothy was not here because she was meditating in a beautiful place and refining her magic power.

 

Anyway, all three of them are the VIPs I brought. Everyone in the royal palace will be treated equally well.

 

But if you know who your future wife will be, you can care about it on a national level. It was an understandable question.

 

Alice’s hair stood on end. I noticed a momentary tingling in her shoulders. Anyone who sees it has a nervous look.

 

On the other hand, Hild, who was a familiar and out of the question, only put on a dry expression.
