Chapter 462
The situation in the city center was somewhat better, but the people living in the shantytown where the refugees resided were in such a state that one couldn't help but wonder if they could endure the winter.
The Empire could not abandon them either.
As rations were being distributed, one could see the guards giving out something to the long line of people.
Thump!

“Grandfather... you might die lik...

Ellen could not stay long at the imperial palace.
She had to be redeployed immediately after completing her mission. This was due both to the situation of the empire and to Ellen's own will.
After briefly conversing with Bertus, Ellen headed to the Spring Palace as she always did.
Ordinary people could not even approach the Spring Palace. Of course, Ellen was not bound by such constraints.

That night.
In the royal bedroom of Edina Castle.
I sat on the bed, watching Harriet dry her hair.
Harriet was no longer wearing the clothes she had on just moments ago, but had changed into her nightgown.
"You should sleep soon. We have a lot to do tomorrow. You said we're going to the empire, right?"
"...I suppose so."
It wasn't for any other reason, but Harriet and I had been s...

The Royal Palace of Edina, Council Chamber.
There, four of the five clan lords, excluding Lucinil, were seated.
“Your Majesty.”
“It has been a while. Great Being.”
Eleris claimed to be my subordinate, but the other three were not in a hierarchical relationship with me. They did their best to help me, but it was only cooperation, not submission.
Of course, Luvien, Gallarush, and Antirianus had moved all their clans to the...

Most of these people had lost their families, and had escaped from the clutches of grotesque monsters whose mere appearance could inflict lifelong trauma.
Naturally, their mental states were far from stable.
They had fled for their lives, and while on the run, there was no time to dwell on such matters. But once they reached the Edina Archipelago and could live without the immediate threat to their lives, the people were hit hard by the aft...

The day after conquering the Edina Archipelago.
I had expected that more than half of the nobles and soldiers would flee.
What was truly surprising was that fewer than ten people refused me and disappeared.
The kingdom had been taken from them by the Demon King.
To the people of the Edina royal family, this must have felt like deprivation.
But for the nobles, soldiers, and citizens, it ...

"No."
