Became the Idiot Young Master Who Tormented the Main Character - Chapter 92



92. Demon World War (2)

After finishing a conversation with Loria, a member of the secret information organization Night Crow.

I was forcibly summoned to my hometown, the Duchy of Brace, where I had sent the letter.

“It seems like it’s been a long time since you’ve been here.”

Now there are no lectures left.

The semester was almost over so I had some free time.

The cool autumn breeze brushes against my skin.

Having reached the vicinity, I set foot on the Brace family estate.

Okay then.

“You have come, Young Master!”

“welcome!”

“I’m glad you came back safely, Your Majesty!”

A large number of maids greeted me at the entrance.

“… Are you here?”

I also hear a familiar voice.

Sharp eyes, a harsh tone of speech, and now a significantly shorter person than me.

It was Sarah Brace, Cyan’s older sister.

“Yeah, I’m here.”

“Follow me.”

She guides me indifferently.

Sarah Brace, who met her younger sister for the first time in a long time and didn’t say a word other than business.

After walking for a few minutes, she turned around again and said.

“…hey.”

“why?”

“Are you honestly lying?”

“… … ?”

“You lied to get more attention, didn’t you? Confess now, before things get worse.”

Is this woman becoming suspicious again?

Since the ice age, he’s been treating me like a loser.

“Since you’ve become a warrior, please guide me quickly.”

“No, how could someone like you make the choice of a warrior who symbolizes purity and strength…?”

“I’ll tell you about that part.”

While I was arguing with Sarah, someone else came trudging in.

When Sarah looks in the direction of the sound, as if she’s about to get angry at being interrupted, her expression hardens.

This was because the person walking towards her was someone Sarah knew very well.

Neatly tied ash-gray hair, a face as innocent as the sea, and a blunt expression.

As soon as she saw her, Sarah started to stutter and panicked.

“Hey, Iris? How is it here…? Aren’t you at the academy because of your teaching activities?”

“It’s been a long time, Your Majesty. I came to see you when I was bored after the semester was over.”

“You came to see the view?”

From Sarah’s wide eyes, the question of “Why?” pours out.

She might not know… that I am also Iris’s disciple.

Sarah looks confused because Swordmaster Iris, who she had been receiving private lessons from every day in the dukedom and looked up to with only eyes of respect, entered the dukedom just to see her.

I said to her,

From noble mtl dot com

“… I don’t think I’ve ever said this, but I’m also Iris’s disciple.”

“What the-?! That’s a lie! I never said anything about your father paying for your tuition…!”

“Thank goodness you taught me for free.”

“Your Majesty, it is true that the Prince was selected as a warrior. I witnessed it from the side. So please guide me.”

“… … .”

Although it seemed unbelievable, Sarah guided us, bewildered by her teacher Iris’s words.

To where Pablo Brace, Cyan’s father, is.

Iris also went with me on the way. Of course, she had to leave for a while to meet her father.

“Iris. From here on out, it’s just you and me…”

“I know. Just a moment before you go.”

Iris comes and hugs me gently.

“… … .”

“… … .”

It’s warm.

Her affection is now so familiar and comfortable that I miss it.

I could feel her heartbeat as I was pressed against her and felt her warmth.

“Wh, what… … ”

Sarah looks at us with wide eyes, as if in shock.

Iris, who didn’t care about him, hugged me and comforted me for a while, then said.

“Don’t be nervous and just talk.”

“…thank you.”

.

.

.

.

“Father, it’s me.”

“You’re here.”

As I entered the office, Pablo Brace sat at the table and greeted me calmly.

His black beard was bushier than before… His expression seemed relaxed, as if he had been recuperating well without us.

“Did you say you were chosen as a warrior?”

“Yes, father.”

“Your Majesty.”

“… … !”

I was surprised.

Has there ever been a compliment coming out of this person’s mouth?

His expression was still indifferent, as if the words he had just said were a lie.

However, from the way he quietly put down his teacup and looked at me, I felt like he acknowledged me.

I calmed down my surprised heart and spoke quietly.

“…thank you.”

“Yes, it seems that the rumors that have been circulating so far were true. The rumor that the Empire had cleared the labyrinth of the anti-magic forces that had been struggling, and that the princess had been saved… When I first heard it, I was half-believing it, just like when I heard the absurd news that you captured the griffon, but now I can’t deny it.”

“… … .”

“Well done. You’ve changed a lot.”

He gets up, comes towards me, and pats my shoulder.

“I will continue to work hard to ensure that the reputation of the Brace family is not tarnished.”

“I’m working hard enough. … So, what’s the plan?”

“A summons has arrived for the Empire. I will be leaving for the Lyanna Empire in two days.”

“Is this a summon related to the warrior?”

“yes.”

“This is the first time I’ve been summoned for something unrelated to an accident.”

“… … .”

He smiles so shallowly that you wouldn’t notice it unless you looked closely.

His smile made my heart feel warm for some reason.

Even if we are related, is this still the case?

“Get plenty of rest before you leave for the Empire. It is the inspector’s job to always keep yourself in good condition for battle.”

“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”

***

Iris was with Lyanna when she responded to the Empire’s summons.

When sending a letter to the Empire, Iris stood as guarantor to prove that it was not a lie.

The relationship with the guarantor is ‘teacher and disciple.’

That one line was enough to warrant summons.

That way, I was able to arrive at the Rianna Imperial Palace building with Iris.

After showing the imperial letter to the guards, we lightly entered the building and a guide was assigned to us.

After following them for a few minutes, we soon came into view the most luxurious-looking door in the building.

“From here on out, this is His Majesty the Emperor’s room. … Please enter with courtesy.”

Iris and I nodded simultaneously as the guide spoke.

-Squeak.

As the guide slowly opens the door, light leaks out from inside.

-Clang!

As the door opened fully.

As if waiting, someone’s voice was heard.

“… are you here?”

A deep and solid voice.

Words have power.

I could tell right away who was talking without even having to go inside to check.

An old man sitting on a very large throne right in front of us nods at us.

Deus di Violet, Emperor of the Lyanna Empire… .

He was welcoming us.

“His Majesty the Emperor.”

Iris and I quietly knelt on one knee and bowed before him, beneath the platform he was looking down upon.

I glanced up.

There was a line of people standing next to Emperor Deus… and among them, a familiar figure appeared.

Red, long hair, and dignified, noble blue eyes.

Rosaria di Violet was standing with her siblings, smiling and waving at me.

“You arrived first. Are you the boy chosen as a warrior?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. That is correct.”

“Well, you’re young. And you’re the prince of the Duchy of Brace. What kind of trick is this…?”

“… … .”

The Duchy of Brace is a duchy for the descendants of the Emperor who made great contributions in war and were granted land on their own.

Among them, the family that made the greatest contribution in the war against the previous Demon King 1000 years ago.

As someone who knows history, I understood what the emperor said.

“What about the Holy Sword? Can it be summoned?”

“Yes, but… I can’t summon it often because it reduces my lifespan every time I summon it.”

Last time, I summoned Lucy and Aria to clear up a misunderstanding.

He was summoned again to prove himself to Loria, the Night Raven’s executive.

It would not be a good idea to summon it more often.

Since I have Iris, the Sword Master of the Principality, next to me, I will be proven to be a warrior even without having to show her the Holy Sword.

It is unlikely that someone with the title of Sword Master would commit fraud against the Empire.

To elaborate… This means that a Sword Master can half-destroy a country on his own without even resorting to verbal deception.

“Lift your head, boy of the Brace family, chosen as a warrior.”

“… … .”

As he raised his head, Emperor Deus continued to speak.

“There is news that a powerful magic has occurred near the northern ice zone of Arene. Perhaps that area will be designated as the ‘Demon Realm’… You and your companions will be departing for the Demon Realm where the magic has been felt.”

As Deus spoke, another presence was felt from the door through which we had entered.

“Open the door.”

At Deus’ command, the entrance began to open again.

From inside the entrance, about four people walk towards us.

“His Majesty the Emperor!”

“Meet the leader of the empire.”

“… I’ve met the leader of humans. It’s been a while, Deus.”

They bow their heads in reverence to us, paying the same respect.

From the left, there was a human female who looked to be about my age, a fierce-looking dwarf male, and an elf female who looked slightly older than me.

“Thank you all for responding to the summons. … It’s been a while, Irina. Your appearance hasn’t changed at all.”

“Because our lifespans are different from yours.”

The elf woman looked at Deus blankly as she offered her respect.
