"Oh! I also heard that Kyung-i has been working hard to find a solution recently. Has she finally found it?"
A confident declaration from Eugene Schneider,
It was something that made the troubled Emperor Vivian release a surge of dopamine.
At least for Vivian, Eugene Schneider was a man who always lived up to expectations.
"I think we've found enough clues. Should we be able to take action right away?"
This is it. The kind of Vivian Eugene desires is someone who relies so infinitely on him.
When that scene appeared, Eugene nodded in a mysterious manner, feeling regretful as he pushed her away.
“Ohh ...
Vivian, the imperial female who was manicured by Eugene Schneider every time they had sex, was undeniably entangled. As expected of the top tier of the Pieta, she never lost her cool in any negotiation. Indeed, love can be so disarming.
"Is that possible! The Sophists? Sir Eugene Schneider has taken control of the Sophists???"
Eugene Schneider, who had done enough preliminary work, started to tell the story,
Emperor Vivian and those attending the meeting were shocked when they heard the story.
"Yes, Your Majesty. As you know, Commander Victoria of the Imperial Knights and I have had a significant connection through secret missions. Through that connection, we devised a plan to subdue the Sophists. We've been carrying out this in secret, and the results have been so positive that we've created a situation where we can go beyond subjugation and subdue them."
Eugene Schneider began to fearlessly tell lies to the Emperor, mixing in some facts.
Of course, that's understandable.
After being called out to Victoria in the middle of the night and having sex with the head of the Sophists, you can't say you ate a Sophist, right?
"The Sophists, now a mystical organization unlike before, have developed a considerable system for dealing with demons. While they may not be as effective as the Holy Emperor's, I'm confident they'll at least quench their thirst for a certain amount of time."
After Laonzena's plan to die at Victoria's hands failed,
Taking a break to confront Eugene Schneider, Laonzena reorganized the Sophists, who had been left in the lurch by Antoine's coup.
Some of the Sophists have defected or lost their lives in clashes with Antoine's forces, but a sufficient number of members remain to maintain the group, hiding in another secret Sophist base under the orders of their leader, the Jedi.
“Hmm... I'm sure it'll be a great force, but Sophist..."
Captain Antonio, who was listening to Eugene's explanation, had a very worried expression on his face.
Weren't the Sophists ultimately a group that sided with the anti-imperial group Tyranos?
Moreover, Antonio clashed with the Empire a lot while serving as the leader of a mercenary group close to it.
It is inevitable that there will be a feeling of rejection.
“I fully understand your feelings, but we are not in a position to be picky about our tools.”
Then Vivian spoke her mind in a firm tone.
"I trust my subjects, Prince Eugene Schneider and Grand Master Victoria. They spoke to me in this way because they were confident the Sophists would never cause trouble. Therefore, as their lord, I will give them my full power."
She pictured it in her mind. How much Eugene Schneider must have suffered carrying out his so-called secret operation. So how could she, as a woman madly in love with him, harbor even the slightest suspicion? And so, she completely believed Eugene's lies.
"Understood, Your Majesty. I will also do my best to assist Sir Eugene Schneider."
Antonio, Alexis' close friend who had a greater affection for Vivian than anyone else, immediately agreed to the emperor's firm support.
“And I think I have something really important to tell you, Your Majesty.”
As traffic was cleared, Eugene's expression became even more serious than before and he continued speaking quietly.
“What! Is there another answer that Kyung can offer me?”
Vivian, who was full of hope thanks to Eugene's first card, immediately bit the bait.
Even in her view, the Sophist's joining was not the main reason why Eugene was acting so pretentious.
"I will evolve into a being capable of standing against Antoine. And I will also become a being capable of facing the Demon King."
Yes. Eugene's main card is himself. Ultimately, the key to this battle lies with Sword Master Antoine, now a warrior, and the Demon King, who has received the grace of the Demon God. He needs a great warrior who can match them.
"Is that even possible? I know very well that your rapid growth has been due to the genius bestowed upon you by the Heavens, but even in the long history of the continent, you are one of only a very small number of Sword Masters!"
Emperor Vivian's eyes grew even wider.
Because Eugene Schneider's words sounded like a declaration that he would become a Sword Master.
However, for the Awakened, Sword Experts are different, Sword Seekers are different, and Sword Masters are also a different kind of genius. Even if her male counterpart, Eugene Schneider, were a genius, it would be impossible for him to break through the Sword Master barrier in less than a year.
"The Hero and the Demon King are two beings that even a Sword Master cannot defeat. I will become something more than that."
But the harem male, Eugene Schneider, was an ambitious man far beyond Vivian's imagination.
Sword Master? Insignificant. He will be reborn as a great warrior, surpassing even Sword Master and demon lords.
“I will go to the sacred ground of the Northern Demon Swordsman and pull out that great sword.”
The Great Swordsman, a hero of the Demon Race, who has officially existed only once since the continent's recorded history began.
It was Eugene Schneider who decided to become the great swordsman who is said to have defeated the so-called dragon in a single combat.
"What??? The holy land of the Northern Demon Swordsman? You mean you're going to pull out the greatsword there, Lord Eugene Schneider???"
Antonio was the first to react strongly to Eugene Schneider's declaration.
Because he has been on the battlefield the longest, he has a great affinity with legends like the Demonic Swordsman.
“I have also heard of the Demonic Swordsman’s Holy Land, but what does it mean to draw the greatsword there, Captain Antonio?”
On the other hand, it is a story that feels somewhat distant to Emperor Vivian.
So she asked Antonio, who immediately responded with a loud voice.
"Your Majesty, this is a tale like a bizarre legend circulating among those who roam the battlefield and seek strength. It's said that the greatsword located there is actually the greatsword wielded by an ancient Demonic Grandmaster. Like the Holy Sword, it is said to be drawn when its rightful owner appears."
Antonio slowly told his lord Vivian what he knew.
Just as there was a legend of a warrior among the human race, there was a legend of a heroic swordsman among the demon race.
However, as the conquerors of the continent became the human race, the legend of the Demon Race's heroes became a myth and began to be passed around only behind closed doors.
Like the Holy Sword, the Hero Greatsword also awaits a master who can stand on its own.
“There was even a claim that the empire secretly cared about that legend and kept the surrounding area so tightly guarded.”
If so, it was truly a matter of crisis for the human race.
If the true master of the greatsword of the hero appears and pulls it out, the appearance of an absolute demon warrior with a dragon's head might come.
So, the Elysium Imperial Family took measures to not only destroy the Dark Swordsman's Sanctuary, but also to thoroughly isolate it from the demons.
“Wow...! There was such a legend!”
It was truly something that could not but have drawn the eye of Emperor Vivian.
A great swordsman who can fight against the warriors, a demon hero.
Because she already knows that half of Eugene Schneider's blood is that of the Demon Clan.
"I will extract him. Through him, I intend to personally verify whether the legend spoken of by Captain Antonio is true. If it is true, then the Empire will have a warrior capable of standing against the fallen warrior Antoine and the Demon King, chosen by the Demon God."
Eugene Schneider had a dream after his crazy sex with Laonzena.
I had a dream where I was in a fierce battle with the fallen warrior Antoine and his greatsword broke.
However, his broken sword transformed into the form of the Black Hero Greatsword and chose him directly.
Drake Beatrice said that Eugene Schneider's dream was not just a dream, but closer to a precognitive dream.
Believing that his destiny is guided by the blood of his mother, who was a demon, Eugene Schneider seeks to revisit the Demon Swordsman's Holy Land.
"Very well, Lord Eugene Schneider. As the Emperor of Elysium, I promise you this. If you become a true warrior, capable of standing against the Hero and the Demon King, I, Vivienne Saint-Pierre, will stake everything I have on stopping any opposition you may encounter at the Holy Emperor's Palace."
Eugene Schneider showed Vivian his confident and determined demeanor.
How could Vivian, the woman who had Ada stolen from her by the man she loved, remain silent when he was acting like that?
She declared that she would give all her support to Eugene Schneider.
If Eugene Schneider were to pull out the true hero's greatsword, the backlash from the Holy See would be immense.
If Vivian were to defend Eugene like that, it would be a case of Emperor Vivian being excommunicated from the Seonghwangcheong.
But Vivian will do her best to solve it as much as Eugene does.
"Ah! So that's the decision. Hmm... So the situation on the ground is more urgent than I heard?"
After the official imperial meeting, Eugene continued a brief conversation among the executives of the imperial emergency response organization. With the planetary perimeter already established, they were trying to coordinate more detailed agreements. Eugene nodded thoughtfully after hearing about Victoria's future plans.
"Yes. So, it seems necessary for the Imperial Knights to show their official participation. In many ways, that would boost the morale of the Imperial forces in the border regions."
After leaving the imperial situation to Farnese, Victoria plans to lead some Imperial Knights with Vincent to the Millennium Wall, where her father is. As important as absolute power is the reversal of the situation, and having heard reports of serious unrest among the troops on the ground, she intends to carry out a political performance.
“But if Captain Joan of Arc returns to Bahadur, do you, Grand Prosecutor Eugene, intend to go alone to the distant Demon Grand Prosecutor’s Holy Land?”
Soon Victoria asked a question about Eugene.
I was thinking of going to the Demonic Grand Inspector's Holy Land with Jeanne, but I heard that Jeanne was preparing to head straight to Bahad.
“Haha! No, my mother said she’d come with me.”
So, the being who headed to the Demonic Swordsman's Holy Land with Eugene,
It was his adoptive mother, Marianne de Sel Oblain, who loved and cherished him madly.
