Became the Emperor in the Hero Game

48 – Part 2 Episode 4

Imperial history is long.

It has a longer history than any other human power except the Holy Kingdom, and it has been an empire since it was first established.

It is also a country that has fought wars as often as its long history.

When the 7th emperor was on the throne, he fought against demons that had awakened from the seal, and there were many battles with demons that only appeared once every few decades.

Of course, the most common were wars with other kingdoms.

There were times when they were defeated in local battles, but it was extremely rare, and most of them won.

There were as many victories as there were wars, and there were contributors to each victory.

Since the most common way to praise meritorious subjects was to give them titles, there were a lot of nobles in the empire.

Of course, the empire was large, but there were limits to its territory, and there were many families whose names remained without any real power, but now the situation has changed a little.

If you leave the central and western regions and head east and south, there are few lands with owners among the lands you can see, and furthermore, there are overflowing lands outside the empire that need to be occupied soon.

“Okay then, let’s start the meeting.”

Day 2 of the Imperial Conference.

After the first meeting yesterday, a banquet was held in my name, and not even a bottle of alcohol was served.

This meant not taking a single person because we were going to talk about something very important today, and all the nobles who understood this entered the conference hall with nervous expressions.

“First, let’s start the meeting with Daman’s story.”

As soon as Daman’s story came out, the eyes of nobles, especially nobles without lands, twinkled.

In the case of Tamiel who invaded the empire, the entire case was returned to the Pale family, but it was because there was no announcement about it.

“Daman’s former king was manipulated by Edelwein as a puppet, but was decapitated by the Grand Duke of Pale, and his son was also Edelwein’s master. However, there were also those who had a will, and there was a person who dared to punish the family that dared to bring it to the empire and stood up.”

As I waved my hand, the door to the meeting room opened and a man dressed in blue entered.

He was a fairly old man, but he seemed embarrassed because calling him here wasn’t planned.

The man who appeared under the escort of the Hwangyeong Knights surrounding him seemed nervous, but he still greeted me without making a big mistake.

“Plu Keyas of the Chamber greets His Majesty the Great Emperor of the Great Arhan Empire.”

“Look at everyone. Here, there is a man who has risen bravely and set out to confine the Damans and establish the right will.”

As soon as I finished my words, Grand Duke Pale and Marquis Grepa started clapping.

After that, Duke Triel also clapped, and then all the nobles were clapping towards Flu Keyas.

“Hey, Your Majesty. It is an honor for His Majesty to congratulate us… “

A sudden development, he tried to say something, but I raised my hand to cut him off.

“Therefore, I gave Flukeyas the title of Count of the Empire, and at the same time

I will appoint you as the king of the land. But, Flu Keyas, what was your original title?”

“… It was the Count, Your Majesty.”

“I see. Flukeyas was originally an earl, so he would suddenly lack the experience and people to rule a kingdom. Luggage

I’ll take care of you and let an experienced imperial nobleman assist you. Do you understand?”

“… Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Okay, you can go in and have a look.”

Flu Keyas then exited surrounded by the Imperial Knights, just as he had entered.

Like a clown, he arrives after receiving a call and leaves after being applauded, his expression contorted.

There’s a lot I’d like to say, but it wasn’t something I would consider.

As Flu Keyas exited, the nobles looked at me with unsuitable bright eyes.

“As you have heard, the ruler of the land has changed. Are you now a chambermaid? But, as Jim said, he needs people to assist him because he lacks experience and will have a hard time ruling the kingdom. However, those under the king are difficult to trust, so the nobles whom I can trust and who know honor should help him.”

It was said that he would set up Plu Keyas as a scarecrow and cut the land down to the nobles.

Unlike Tamiel, a barren land of barbarians, Daman is rich, so many nobles must covet it.

But to whom the land will be given is yet to be told.

I didn’t, and I’m not going to announce it here.

It’s a carrot that can be offered to nobles, so you need to use it sparingly.

If you listen to me carefully, I will give you the land, because it will make less noise if you give it a signal like this.

“And not only. There are many lost lands in the empire, but we can’t leave them like that forever.”

Gior in the south fell, and the eastern lands that had been given to Shien were also confiscated, so there were many territories without lords.

Actually, I’ve already decided who to give the South to.

Count Pell.

He is the only remaining count in the south and at the same time a noble with a high reputation for his loyalty to Arhan.

Regardless of the value of the name or anything else, there was no one other than Earl Pell to make him a count.

Actually, I even tried asking Sir Peltz to become a prince, but he still needs to remain as the knight commander.

According to her original plan, when Ar of her academy grew up, she wanted to entrust it to her, but since it became difficult to leave it empty for that long, she was also excluded.

“Count Pell.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

I called out lightly, and Earl Pell stood up, responding with a thrilling voice.

At this point, you can understand the meaning of calling that name.

“Earl Pel has been loyal to Arhan for a long time and has worked hard for the peace of the empire. He did not sympathize with the treason of the evil Gior and tried to stop them, so he is a true loyalist. I will exalt his loyalty, so he will seal you as his marquess and hand over all that Gior has.”

Full of emotion, Fell expressed his gratitude over and over again, even showing tears, and the other princes greeted him with applause.

Unlike the time of Flu Keyas, it was an applause with a sincere congratulatory meaning.

Since Count Pell maintained his own power even under Gior, if you give him the Marquess and stand behind him, you should be able to take control of the south.

In accordance with their inclination, those loyal to me will prevail in the South, and then I won’t have to worry about them anymore for the time being.

Next is the eastern part.

Actually, Dongbu doesn’t need to get off someone in a hurry.

It’s a land with almost nothing left, so we can only proceed with restoration work right now, and split it up to the newly created meritorious subjects.

“Then let me tell you a little painful story. As you know, the Empire

You were attacked not too long ago.”

As soon as I spoke directly, the atmosphere in the conference room, which had been rather friendly, froze in an instant.

“Well, as you all know. The beasts did a good job, but were defeated in the end. The god they worshiped is Prince Audas… Died in half by the Marquis, and the leader and elite froze to death in a nameless field. But there are still remnants and land left.”

When I said that beasts were beasts, the expressions of some people noticeably brightened.

To make a statement like this in an official setting, especially at an imperial meeting, means that you will never consider a prisoner as a diplomatic target of the empire again.

A few nobles turned their eyes to look at Shien, but he kept his head down without saying anything.

“These arrogant ones dared to set foot on the empire’s soil, so shouldn’t they be punished?”

At my words, the nobles nodded, and some zealous ones said, “Yes, Your Majesty!” He even shouted.

“Their sins could not be repaid with extinction, but I am willing to show mercy. Count Megan.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

A nobleman who lost his family to beastmen.

A count in the middle of the Empire.

A person who is not as loyal to Arhan as Fel, but not so disloyal as to harbor a resentment.

“Jim will entrust you with a heavy responsibility. East, West, Central. Regardless of this distinction, gather those who hold grudges against the beasts and go to the land of the beasts. The Imperial Knights will assist you, guide the beasts to the right path with them. Can you do it?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Can I know what the right path is? Your majesty.”

“That’s about serving the right master, not the big wolf.”

Go and enslave them all.

When I said this, Countess Megan replied with her bloody eyes shining.

“I will definitely, I will definitely live up to Your Majesty’s expectations.”

“I will appoint you as the governor of the land of the beasts. I will give you full power, so feel free to express your will.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Unlike Tamiel and Daman, where there are people to rule, it is a land where humans do not live, a land of beasts.

Now, those who have a grudge against the beastmen, like Megan, will lead my family and settle there.

It would be difficult to take down the prisoners there right away, so even if you don’t take any special measures, you won’t even have the energy to have a different mind.

Well, looking at that Countess Megan, it seems like she’s full of vengeance and doesn’t even have room left to harbor other feelings.
