Prologue (2)
I still remember it clearly.
When I first heard the news of Roman Dmitry's disappearance.
Kevin, who had been training for a while, responded that he could not believe it.
"Your Majesty is gone! Such absurd... … ."
Why?
Moment.
An ominous imagination ran through my mind.
The last meeting with Roman Dmitry was different than usual.
I didn't think it was strange at the time, but as soon as I heard about the disappearance, the puzzles that had been scattered in my head were put together.
A conversation where we shared our sincerity with each other. And, as if preparing for the future, he showed himself all the magic of the Celestial Swordsmanship.
My heart went down.
If the.
really if.
What if Roman Dmitry never returns?
Will he be able to live a life without him?
'It's impossible.'
Roman Dmitry.
It was all about Kevin.
Apart from simply the relationship between master and subject, Roman Dmitry has been his sky since the days when Kevin was nothing.
Everything that people look up to today comes from Roman Dmitry.
A boy who could not even wield a sword properly became Dmitry's demon, and a boy who was traveling around the slums became the head of the Dmitry Empire, which holds wealth and honor in both hands.
everything in life.
It could not be expressed in other words.
He vowed to live for him, and when he lived for him, Kevin could feel he was alive.
By the way.
he's gone
The sky was collapsing.
The reality he had been trying to deny became true as time passed, and the figure of Roman Dmitry, who was saying goodbye, flickered in his head.
What the hell happened to him? I don't know why he was forced to leave, but Kevin wasn't ready to accept the sudden breakup.
last month.
was in hell
Suppressing the anxiety that gripped his head, he searched wherever Roman Dmitry could be found.
From end to end of the continent, to the southern jungles, beyond the endless mountains, to the frontiers. He grew thinner and thinner in a situation where there was no hope, but the option of giving up on finding Roman Dmitry was not allowed.
I had to.
Who would give up on life because it is difficult?
To him who was desperately looking for him, Isabelle's call was such an important matter that he ran away from it day and night.
like that.
faced the truth
It was shocking.
it's a sacrifice
The fact that Roman Dmitry had sacrificed was more unacceptable than the slim possibility that he might return someday.
Kevin said sternly.
"Explain accurately. You have to tell me exactly what happened, not speculatively that it might be."
It was a reality denial.
Isabelle didn't guess.
He said it as it is, but Kevin's shaky eyes seemed to want to correct what he said right now.
But.
Contrary to the wishes of the people, the truth could not be changed.
Isabelle said.
"… … If I had been able to bring you some hopeful news, I would have revealed the truth before this chaos began. It is undeniable that His Majesty Roman Dmitry made sacrifices in exchange for the removal of human danger. But that doesn't mean he's dead."
"Does that mean that you are alive?"
Kevin intervened again.
Seeing his eyes brimming with longing, Isabelle nodded.
"Yes. His Majesty Roman Dmitry is alive. He left only to avoid harm to this world, but he exists somewhere in countless dimensions. this is all i know Actually, I wanted to tell you the truth from the beginning, but I couldn't break my promise with His Majesty Roman Dmitry. I'm sorry. After hearing from you all over the past month, I really wanted to say I'm sorry."
When Isabelle's words ended.
People shut their eyes tightly.
they never
never.
I didn't come here to hear the truth.

Silence lingered.
No one could have said anything prematurely.
sacrifice.
It was an unexpected truth.
Roman Dmitry, whom the whole continent had been searching for so much, actually chose to sacrifice himself for mankind.
It was miserable.
Some showed tears of sorrow, while others ripped their heads off and did not hide their wretched feelings.
people gathered here. Everyone was at one time or another who received the favor of Roman Dmitry. Leaving their interests aside, they hoped that Roman Dmitry would return safely.
for so long
spent a while in silence.
It was then.
Breaking through the heavy silence, Chris spoke for the first time.
"Actually, I already knew the truth. That his Majesty Roman Dmitry's health is in trouble. Still, I couldn't admit it, so I kept denying it. I'd rather be happy. His Majesty Roman Dmitry is not dead. He's not dead, he's alive somewhere beyond the realm."
eyes changed.
yearning.
miasma.
Complex emotions overwhelmed the people gathered here.
"Before Dmitry came to his present position. There was a time when Roman Dmitry was suspicious of His Majesty. But ever since I had my master in mind, I have never disobeyed your orders. Isabelle. Not revealing the truth is His Majesty's will to accept this reality for us, Emperor Roman Dmitry. We must obey our master's orders. So that the sacrifice is not in vain, we must forget the past and focus on the present."
close.
messed it up
He, who had always maintained his composure, did not suppress his emotions as much as now.
"But I can't follow orders this time. I respect the wishes of His Majesty Roman Dmitry, but I cannot allow my lord to be sacrificed like this, as I have only been blessed with grace. Isabelle. I will only ask you one thing."
"… … Please speak."
"Is His Majesty really alive?"
"I am sure. God clearly said that His Majesty Roman Dmitry had departed to 'another dimension'."
"That's it."
What Chris needed was certainty.
Roman Dmitry.
certainty that he is alive.
That one fact was enough.
Chris said, looking around the people in turn.
"I would like to ask you all. Everyone please give me strength. Reclaim the Emperor who may exist beyond the realm, and work together to solve the reason he had to leave. At least not like this. So please... … ."
Chris also.
Same with Kevin.
Only with Roman Dmitry could his life be complete.
"Please join the protest with me."
* * *
Chris' speech.
It wasn't as easy as it sounds.
Dimensional movement is an unknown world where success cannot be guaranteed, and there will be a price to be paid in the process. The problem wasn't just that.
The reason why a divine being such as Roman Dmitry had to leave was highly unlikely to be solved even if the people gathered here worked together.
But.
There was no hesitation.
As soon as Chris finished speaking, Kevin gave his strength as if he was waiting.
"No matter what the cost of protesting, I also think that the master should return to his original position. If you need an experiment, I'll volunteer. I will do anything for my master."
It was a signal shot.
Following Chris, the Marquis of Valentino and Marquis Fabius also spoke.
"As you know, Valentino is amassing the wealthiest man on the continent. Just speak. If you need manpower, you need manpower, and if you need money for an experiment, you need money. Valentino will solve all practical problems."
"Hey, is it possible to do it all with Valentino alone? This Fabius will also add strength. In fact, he has already mobilized the power of his family to find His Majesty, Roman Dmitry. Well, how about if you eat a little bit of stomach? Everything has been given to me by my master, and the Fabius family is ready to give it all away."
Valentino and Fabius.
Their identity is a luxury.
If we were to judge this incident soberly, he did not know that it was the right thing to do only pretending to help.
It was a simple matter.
It was crazy to invest astronomical sums in an experiment with no guarantee of success, but Valentino and Fabius didn't calculate the net profit for this one.
That was right. In finding Roman Dmitry, who sacrificed himself for humanity, he didn't want to roll his head as usual.
it was blind
power in turn.
And Edwin Hector was among them.
"If it's a magical experiment, it's Hector's realm. In fact, after the war with the Demon Realm, Hector was already studying the dimensional boundaries. I will disclose all the experimental data I have studied so far. Hector will gladly give everything to help find His Majesty Roman Dmitry."
"… … thank you."
"I will never forget Hector's choice."
Everyone was genuinely surprised.
magical achievements.
Although it is something that should never be disclosed nationally, Hector said that he would disclose everything.
Edwin Hector also knew that the decision was a relinquishment of national advantage.
However, he was the type of person who thought that Roman Dmitry was absolutely necessary in this world, apart from his gratitude for Roman Dmitry.
meanings came together
people gathered here.
The major figures leading the continent said that they would join Chris's will, without leaving a single one.
"Everyone agreed. As the representative of His Majesty Roman Dmitry, please make your decision now."
In Chris' words.
People's attention was focused.
Romero Dmitry.
The decision rested with him.
As the emperor's father, the people entrusted his will to him, who rose to the position of deputy.
'Son.'
current situation.
Romero Dmitry was full of emotions.
He was ready to devote everything to the search for his son, but he had no such duty to those who watched him.
Still, there was no hesitation. Knowing their sincerity, I couldn't help but be grateful that they didn't turn away from Dmitry in such a really difficult situation.
But now.
It's not yet the time to get emotional.
At times like this, he thought that he could come back to Roman Dmitry only if he was strong enough.
"I will never forget your kindness. As the Emperor's representative, I will announce it to the world. As of this time, the entire continent, including the Dmitry Empire, will focus on finding the Roman Emperor Dmitry!"
that day.
The world has embraced rapid change.
Roman Dmitry, many changes to find just one.

The meeting is over.
Kevin, who came out, moved to a place where there were no people, and staggered to his seat.
dump.
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
The suppressed emotions were intense.
Tears came out.
Roman Dmitry.
The fact that he sacrificed was shocking, but I was grateful that he was still alive.
"… … If the master had chosen his own death. I would have followed in your footsteps too."
I couldn't stop crying.
It was fortunate.
really.
I was really happy.
Even though she trusted Roman Dmitry, she couldn't sleep every night for fear that something could go wrong with the unusual situation.
It would have been if he had lived. It won't be easy to get Roman Dmitry back, but Kevin wept at the fact that he could still be sure he was alive.
It was then.
"Kevin. Are you okay?"
familiar voice.
It was Hans.
As Kevin raised his head to look at him, Hans said, wiping Kevin's tears with a handkerchief.
"Like you, I spent every night in tears. Just in case something happened to His Majesty the Emperor, my heart was in Hell despite the peaceful days repeated. But not now. Isabelle said it. His Majesty the Emperor is clearly alive. So it should be just one day to cry."
It was different from usual.
Hans looked at Kevin with a strong expression.
"I am nothing more than a servant. So Kevin. Be sure to find the Emperor's Majesty. If you tell me you will, I can trust and wait. The boy I remember Kevin is an impossible existence, enough to grow into the best swordsman in the Dmitry Empire in a slum. So please, please, tell me that you will do it."
The more he spoke, the more his voice drowned.
It was the first time.
Hans, who has always taken care of herself, asks for such a sincere request.
I stopped crying.
didn't cry
Looking at Hans, he nodded with strong eyes.
"Yes, I will definitely do it. Even if the demons of the demon realm, even if the gods are blocking the way, in recovering His Majesty the Emperor... … ."
messed it up
The poisonous eyes revealed his madness, called the demon of Dmitry.
"Even if I cut them all down, I will definitely come back."
I believed in myself.
whatever happens in the future.
He will surely keep his promise to Hans.

Time has passed.
No, I had no idea how the concept of time had flowed.
In the entangled flow of time.

Roman Dmitry has opened his eyes to a new world.
