Chapter 311

Extra 1. After the Great War (5)

Kim Seon-Hyeok quickly looked around the banquet hall.

I believe this negotiation will benefit everyone.

You mean this? I am truly amazed at the mercy the Empire shows

He saw delegates talking with the Imperial nobles about the Empires negotiations over the foreigners. All of them were amongst the most powerful forces indispensable to each country.

I have heard that Lord Antoines castle was beautiful. One day, I hope to have the chance and see it.

No, no, Ive heard that the Borneo estate was the most beautiful on the continent. Ive even heard that if you dont see the Borneo Forest before you die, then you lived in vain

The young men, who were busy cultivating friendship with each other, were those who each shoulder the future of the Empire and their Grand Duchy.

Not one of them is unimportant. Stay alert and make sure that nothing unfortunate happens.

As you command, Your Grace.

The Imperial Guard Knights and mages looked intently around, prepared for any unexpected accident, but none of them looked at the strange woman.

Kim Seon-Hyeok was the only one who noticed the existence of the woman in this place where so many superhumans had gathered.

Edda.

Before he even finished speaking, the faint flapping of wings could be heard and the Dragons characteristic presence began to appear and spread out.

Edda had arrived in the sky right above the Imperial Palace.

Kim Seon-Hyeoks tense face loosened a bit at the appearance of his most powerful ally.

However, he knew that while Edda was definitely the strongest on the continent, her massive body and destructive powers were not suitable for overcoming the current situation.

If a battle were to break out, only he and Edda would survive.

Kim Seon-Hyeok didnt take his eyes off her as he slowly moved. He stopped precisely in the middle of her and Ophelia.

Even in the worst case, he was determined to protect Ophelia and Victorius.

Ooh! Indomitable Grand Duke! The Iberian Grand Duke was just telling me about your legendary battle in the Central region. The Iberian Grand Duke is such a great storyteller that it felt like I was standing in the middle of the battlefield.

But it cant be more vivid than the story I hear from the person involved, right? How about it? Unless its too troublesome, why dont you tell it to us yourself, Indomitable Grand Duke?

When he appeared in the middle of the banquet hall, nobles and envoys flocked over to him as if they had been waiting.

Grand Duke?

However, Kim Seon-Hyeok was focused on the woman and wasnt listening to them.

Where are you looking so intently

The people turned their heads to follow his gaze.

Which House is the young lady from? She must be from a famous family to be here, but I cant remember at all.

The nobles all had a wide reach, but they tilted their heads when they saw the woman who didnt look particularly special.

Meanwhile, the mages of the Imperial Familys Guard noticed something unusual and stared at her before speaking to Marquis Reinhardt.

She is not on the list, sir.

Are you sure? Wouldnt it be impossible for an uninvited person to enter the main hall?

The number of people does not match, sir.

Marquis Reinhardts expression hardened at the mages words.

Escort the nobles.

At the brief order, the knights of the Imperial Family Guard moved in unison and blocked Ophelia and the people in the banquet hall.

Why is the Imperial Guard?

Having noticed the unusual atmosphere belatedly, the nobles and envoys murmured but no one gave them clear answers.

Grand Duke, can you explain this situation?

Marquis Reinhardt came up and questioned Kim Seon-Hyeok about the womans identity. He had a hand on the sword at his waist so that he could draw it at any moment.

She is a guest from the north.

The peoples eyes widened at his answer. They instantly knew who he was talking about when he said it was a person from the north.

Despite the people all turning to look at her, the woman didnt blink an eye. She opened her mouth.

Theres no need to stare like that. Im here today because I have something to tell you.

They heard the womans voice for the first time. It was as harsh as the feral aura around her. The nobles involuntarily trembled at her low and ferocious voice that was like a growling beast.

So it doesnt seem like youre here to simply congratulate us.

As if he finally felt the womans unusual spirit, Marquis Reinhardt raised his even more. The woman frowned as the aura around him seemed to turn into swords.

What terrible treatment of guests.

Kim Seon-Hyeok responded to the womans words

Uninvited guests are never treated well. Even more so if that uninvited guest didnt come with good intentions.

If I really came here with bad intentions, do you really think those people over there could be babbling?

The nobles and envoys shouted in fury at the outright threat.

You, you! There are things you should and should not say! Yet, you do not care!

Youre a barbarian! How dare you! Where do you think this i
