Atomus, who had moved to take of two of the three so-called guardians of the empire to his side ,  immediately summoned the Zephyr of Mazakaze to his side.

"Your Highness. What can I do for you?'

 A slender man in a military uniform kneels before Atomus. He is the Zephyr of the Disastrous Wind, one of the three powerful guardians of the Empire.

"I'm glad you've come. First, you can raise your head."

"Yes!"

 Zephyr, who had been hanging his head, did as he was told and raised his head. Zephyr's eyes caught Atomos smiling meaningfully at him.

"Zephyr, I want to ask you something. Zephyr, I have a question for you. Are you happy with your life?"

"...... Yes. Of course I am. I'm afraid to say that His Majesty gave me the name of the Guardian God of the Empire, and even gave me two names."

 "Thanks to this, I am now able to live a life without any inconvenience whatsoever. I have no reason to complain.""

"Are you sure about that?""

Zephyr raises an eyebrow at Atomose, who asks as if he can see right through him.

 Zephyr is aware of the rumors that the second prince is planning to do something. So Zephyr raised his guard to make sure that nothing could happen to him.

"I don't understand o your question. As I said before, I'm living in a--'"

"No, you didn't. In your heart, you are bored. You're looking for a fight. Your body wants to fight."

 "Isn't that right? Zephyr of the Winds of Woe."

"............"

 This was a perfect example. Zephyr was certainly happy with his current life. Except for one thing.

 That was fighting, as Atomus had pointed out. Zephyr was bored with the peaceful life .

 There was a reason for this. The two names Zephyr had been given were Mazakatsukaze.

 Compared to the other two guardian gods of the empire, this name sounded somewhat dangerous. The origin of this name comes from Zephyr's fighting style.

 Zephyr's fighting style is to use wind magic to tear   his enemies into eight pieces. The way she rips  her enemies to shreds with her wind magic without any mercy is terrifying.

 That's why  he called the wind of misfortune. 

 The reason why she fights in such a way is because he is testing his strength. Zephyr believes that the battlefield is the best place to see if he has grown or not.

 That's why, before he became the guardian god of the empire, Zephyr actively participated in expeditions to defeat monsters and bandits.

 However, as he became too strong, Zephyr was given the status of the Guardian God of the Empire and could no longer move as free as he had before.

 This has caused Zephyr to become resentful and frustrated.

"What's wrong? Why are you not telling me?""

"'Your Highness is right, ....... It is true that I want a fight. However, I am one of the guardians of the Empire."

 "There is no way that I can disturb the world by indulging in selfishness."

"You have a good point., but only if you have a good reason ."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Join my camp."

"......?"

 The words were short, but Zephyr knew what they meant.

"You want me to betray  it ?"

"Yes,  right ."

 The guardian gods of the empire are so powerful that they are supposed to stay out of all political matters.

 It's because he is so powerful that he can turn the board upside down.

 Overwhelming violence can twist even power.

 That's why the guardians of the empire never favor one person over another. The Guardian God of the Empire exists only for the sake of the Empire.

 And Atomus is telling  him to break it. In other words, he's planning to commit treason.

"As you've probably noticed, I'm going to rebel soon. The biggest obstacle to my rebellion will be you, the Guardians of the Empire.

 "However, if I can gain control of you, the guardians of the empire, my ambition will be fulfilled. The ruling over the continent, which no one in history has been able to achieve, will become a reality."

 If that happens,  you definitely will  be able to go to the battlefield that you've always wanted."

 "Doesn't sound good , does it?""

 Atomose's  point would be an attractive one to Zephyr. For Zephyr, who is not looking for power or glory, the battlefield is what he wants most.

 However, Zephyr is one of the guardians of the Empire. He can't be so selfish that he accept Atomose's propose .

 However,  his heart still craves for a battl and my reason is desperately trying to suppress it.

(If I take His Highness's side , the battle I've always wanted awaits me. But that would mean betraying my country.)

 I can't let  My temporary emotions get the better of  me . I'm ........)

"I've heard that the kingdom now has Charlotte Grinde, who is known as the strongest  mage in the world. If there is a war with the kingdom, she might come out to the front.

 "At any rate, she loves a man named Leold Herbst. If it's to protect the man she loves, he will surely participate in the war, even if it means breaking  her vow to stay out of the country  troubles ."

 These words had a tremendous effect on Zephyr. For Zephyr, who craved for a fight, the  name  of the strongest mage  as his opponent was enough to break his vow.

(Charlotte, who I've always wanted to fight, is going to appear on the battlefield?)

 (I had heard that she was in the kingdom, but I thought there was no way she would participate in the war. ......!)

 It would be difficult for her to fight if she missed this opportunity. No, perhaps such an opportunity will not come forever.

  ...... (Please forgive me! I wanted to test how far my power could go!)

 After making up his mind, Zephyr pledged his allegiance to Atomus.

"My life is for your sake!"

 Thus, one of the guardian gods of the empire, Zephyr the Disastrous Wind, became a subordinate of Atomus. His next target was Guren the Flame Emperor. The next target was the Flame Emperor Glen, and Atomus couldn't hold back his laughter any longer.

"All that's left is Guren the Flame Emperor! Wait for me. I'm almost there. Soon, the empire will be in my hands! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
