The Villain Who Robbed the Heroines - The Villain Who Robbed the Heroines chapter 255

255─Return

The capital of the Ernes Empire, its imperial palace.

The emperor, who was sitting quietly on his throne, cautiously opened his eyes when the door opened.

Ttogak.

Ttogak……

Soon, the one who arrives in front of him with the sound of gentle footsteps is the current head of the Brutein family—Jeremiah von Verhem Brutein.

“Are you here…?” … “

The emperor opened his eyes, but was not confident enough to face him, so he looked away and opened his mouth.

“Yes. Jeremiah von Verhem Brüttein meets His Majesty the Emperor.”

However, despite her emperor’s weak appearance, Jeremiah maintained a restrained manner with unwavering loyalty.

“hahahaha. Ha ha ha…… !”

The Emperor of the Ernes Empire had no choice but to express his swirling complex emotions with a smile, and in the end he spewed out the complaints of an old man in a depressed voice.

“Even after getting to this point, can I still call you emperor?” … “

The emperor was so shameless that he rose from his throne and walked unsteadily closer to him.

Boom!

Then he kneels and hits his forehead hard on the floor.

The emperor of a country is carrying out the grave crime that a high treason criminal would commit.

“I’m sorry.”

“…… “

“I’m sorry for being such an incompetent, powerless, and ugly imperial family…… “

“Your Majesty.”

“I wanted to show you that I have shed the child-like appearance of the imperial family that has grown up under your loyalty and care for a long time and have become independent…… “

But.

“In the end, we were half-penny people who couldn’t even walk properly…… “

If Brutein’s history doesn’t hold her hand, she can’t even stand properly.

If it is not a path stained with Brutein’s blood, there is no way to proceed.

“Just…” … He was a parasite that only ate away the lives of capable loyalists…… “

“That’s not true.”

The fundamental starting point of this war is at least the evil relationship in which Fersen was involved.

Of course, the imperial family is also guilty of not correcting their mistakes due to their own bias.

However, if we are to be specific, didn’t they also clearly take advantage of the position that Brutein had at the time?

Not just once, but additionally wielded power to cover up Fersen’s mistakes.

An extremely consequential assumption about what would have happened if the imperial family had maintained correct beliefs on such a topic can be said to be a wrong greed and a passing of responsibility.

Because he couldn’t allow it in the first place, his dead younger brother──Ferzen, went to the front line.

Since you are the cause, you must also end the result with yourself.

Therefore, if we are to discuss right and wrong, it would be correct to say that the target is Brutein.

In other words, it was Jeremiah who had to kneel here.

Also, it was Jeremiah who had to ask whether he could remain as a vassal of the imperial family until he got to this point.

Therefore, Jeremiah followed her emperor, knelt down on her knees, bowed her head, and said,

“I…… Here, may she remain as Your Majesty’s vassal until the end?”

Said.

Kwaak!

And when the emperor heard those words, he clenched his wrinkled fists and let out a silent cry.

Looking at Brutein kneeling on her knees and bowing his head, why does a corner of his heart feel so heavy?

He said that the fault was only Brüttein’s, but the emperor did not agree with that.

Actually, I saw what they were thinking, but the essential reason why I could not maintain my correct beliefs until the end was……

They probably wanted to ignore the stain that the Brutein family had deviated from.

Rather than correcting the wrongdoing by imposing punishment, in the process, a crack called taint opens up and the Brutein family becomes no different from other nobles.

The result was what I feared the most.

He never wields power for personal gain, and is always a dependable loyalist and pillar of integrity.

The wish that Brutein would remain forever in its flawless form.

Wasn’t the problem that that wish eventually turned into greed?

It is impossible to become a monarch and provide a utopia to his subjects, but he is a monarch who embraces a utopia for his subjects.

It was truly unsightly.

Of course, thanks to this, Fersen was able to form his own ego without collapsing from his severe obsession.

So right and wrong were ambiguous.

It would be meaningless to even discuss it now.

Jeobbuk.

After calming his thoughts, the emperor got up shakily and returned to his seat again.

Brutein has shown unchanging loyalty for a long time.

If they want to remain that way until the end, they will also have to remain their emperor until the end.

Ttogak.

And when Jeremiah, who had received confirmation of that silent affirmation, raised her body and quietly stood next to him, the emperor opened his mouth in a faint voice.

“Because I can receive your loyalty…… “It was truly an honor.”

“Yes. I also…… “It was an honor to serve Your Majesty and His Majesty.”

The capital of the Ernest Empire, its imperial palace.

In this vast and large Daejeon, waiting for news of the final battle……

Only one emperor and one loyal subject remained.

* * * * *

“Hmm.”

The final front line of the Ernes Imperial Army to stop their advance.

This naturally made the viewer nervous, but Gremory, who was actually at the forefront, had a calm expression.

The world I see with my only remaining eye is much narrower than I thought, but since this is the summit of the highest mountain I can climb during my life as a human being—the scenery there, I don’t feel any regrets.

“The spear and sword pulled out are like toys, and the serious expression on their face is almost laughable.”

Two arms that don’t exist.

Prosthetic leg for the right foot.

On the battlefield, a single word uttered by Gremory, who could easily be called an asshole, should have caused ridicule, but the vassals of the Elmark Empire standing behind her looked more stable and reassuring than ever. He held on to the horse’s reins.

That’s because the current Gremory Eldin Ishtar Elmark was a sword tempered to the limit and the best weapon in the world.

If you were to ask the question of the king of all ills, the answer to that question would be her body.

The words absolute and invincible, which rival her eternity, dared to describe her.

For this reason, the vassals of the Elmark Empire ironically expressed their gratitude to the pillar of the Ernes Empire—a man named Fersen.

If we compare her to a jewel, she is like a diamond that cannot be cut with the technology of this world.

But in the end, wasn’t it her one and only nemesis, Fersen, who created her with his own hands?

She carved her own life with her carving knife and crafted a diamond that could not have been born in this era.

He will undoubtedly regret it forever in the underworld.

“Anyway…… “

Gremory slowly turns her head to her side and laughs mischievously like her mischievous self.

“That old man’s army is truly in an ambiguous position.”

Corleone Wayne Barretta Alfred followed them and joined the final front line of the Ernes Empire.

At first glance, he seemed to be located in a place where he would have no choice but to take the greatest damage when a battle broke out.

At the same time, it was a place where the friendly forces’ left wing could be thoroughly torn apart.

Indeed, he is.

Are they there with the mindset of a loyal subject who will go down in history?

Or on the contrary, is he there with the mindset of a heinous treacherous person?

Isn’t it funny to worry about it?

Even though he was a noble from another empire, Gremory knew very well what his personality was like as he was called the old monster of the Alfred family.

History is only the diary of the victors.

‘Isn’t that so?’

Even if you are far away.

Even if we don’t make eye contact.

After exchanging a voiceless conversation with an old monster named Corleone Wayne Baretta Alfred, Gremory soon looked at the front line with a relaxed expression.

If the trumpet sound of the Ernes Imperial Army rings out soon, announcing the start of the final battle……

All you have to do is write a diary with their blood, tears, and cries soaked in the tip of the pen.

* * * * *

“You…… “Do you not even have a shred of conscience?”

Even though it is located at the very front and at the forefront.

Prince Raymond could not hold back the anger that was building up in him, so he turned his head back and opened his mouth in a loud voice.

Corleone Wayne Barretta Alfred.

How could that old monster be here now!

In the process of ordering a retreat, I instructed and controlled him not to report the news.

They crawled through the gap and ended up inviting the cunning fox.

There is probably no one who does not know the structure of the form of loyalty shown by the Alfred family.

He was not a loyal enough person to remain loyal until the end for the falling empire.

In fact, it would be ridiculous to even bring up loyalty.

Because if his twisted desire had not been based on an inferiority complex toward Brutein, they would have already strangled their hearts.

Because a huge tree called Brutein was in place.

The shadow of Alfred falling there became a place where the imperial family could rest for a while.

And since that relationship is broken, Alfred will not hesitate to try to eat them.

Because the falling empire was not a suitable base for them to grow into a new giant.

“You…… “Don’t you feel anything when you see his death?”

Even if it’s not necessarily Fersen.

“Don’t you feel any emotion after seeing the detachments that risked their lives and advanced to the Rubelta River——!”

This is not my country.

This is not my empire.

“Isn’t this the hometown where we grew up and were born…? … “

On a topic that I am usually very greedy about.

Why, in times like this, do we not indulge our greed?

Despair.

Frustration.

Disillusionment with the existence of humans, etc.

Spitting out a weak voice mixed with numerous emotions, Prince Raymond finally lowered his head.

And the nobles who had summoned Corleone, who were looking at Prince Raymond, walked forward holding on to the reins of their horses.

“Your Highness. Do you really think it is reasonable to push the people into a war where defeat is certain?”

“…… “

“Aren’t you just trying to avenge your anger over the death of the Brutein bloodline called Fersen?”

“Viscount Elquire! “What is that—!”

“Her Highness the Princess. Did I say something wrong? The only person who could stand against Empress Gremory was Count Ruerg. “At the time of his death, this war has no chance of victory at all, and the only way left is to wait until we are completely ravaged by the enemy.”

I wanted to say something to his face, which was stained with ridicule.

At that harsh, irrefutable fact, Elizabeth clenched her fists and bit her lip.

“The treatment of the defeated country is certainly not good, but…… A loving lover, parent, wife and daughter. Isn’t it too cruel to ask them to risk their future together by their side in a battle that has no chance of winning? In your sorrow that the Brutein bloodline has died, you are trying to spread the selfish madness of your people to a future where nothing will remain but ashes.”

“Viscount!”

“You! Are you really sure that they will sacrifice their lives in this battle even after knowing all the circumstances? Hello! With that confidence, sound the trumpet announcing the start of the battle! Blow it! Order! I mean, can you get off? If this is patriotism…… “It would be better not to have it.”

His logic was extremely emotional.

But he was also powerful because of that.

Prince Raymond said nothing for a while, then tilted his head back and opened his mouth, taking in the blue sky with his eyes.

“To you, we…” … A monarch who always changes according to his tastes…… “

“Even though my words and actions were excessive, I don’t think there is anything wrong with it.”

“Viscount Elquire. Resistance is the duty of the people, and resisting invasion is the duty of the nation.”

And.

“The price you get when you ignore that duty is…” … “We are ruled by the most base human beings.”

Even if he is recorded in future history as an unrivaled dark king.

Prince Raymond raised his right hand, pledging not to give up his duty.

Then, a loud and magnificent trumpet sound fills the entire battlefield.
