Finally inside the barrier, we once again hid ourselves at the blind spot of thbe dragon and nervously breathed hard. As of now, we're currently unaware whether the dragon is already aware that we're finally inside but regardless, we have to be really careful because now that he can no longer use his eyes, he will use mana to detect everything within his surrounding"Should we start slicing his neck--" I said but before I even finished speaking, I unconciously turned my head to my side only to see that the dragon who was facing the other way just a while ago is now facing us. "Wahh!!" The dragon growled like as if he can spot where we really are. Slowly, he gasped a lot of air. With that, we realized one thing and that is, this dragon is about to breathefire. Of course, all of us hastily moved to a different direction to avoid it.Just then, a heat coated around the barrier so I looked around to see if there's anyone hurt. Unfortunately, there

"Your highness, here's the complain from Baron Niviez. It's regarding his managing land, he says that he needed more fund for it aince it was an abandoned place" My father's aide who's currently acting as my advisor said. Currently, I am at the emperor's office and was doing every work meant for dad. As you know, he's with the knights and Calix as of the moment dealing with the dragon so i had to take over his works for now as his successor. Also, dad mentioned that it will be a good training for me because in the future, I'll have to do this everydayAnd yes, it is tiring enough for me to want to run way from all the documents but actually, I am quite fortunate as well. After all, I have a competent advisor. He have a green hair and the only person who was able to stay with dad and yes, they are friends. I just hope that in the future, I will be able to find a someone as competent as him--no, I actually have two competent people who can take over the position if the aide or

The news about the imprisonment of Baron Niviez spread around the empire. Of course, they have the same reactions and that is what I did is reasonable enough except for those nobles who had a close cobnection to the baron. As always, I had expected that the favour will be on me because I personally summoned a newspaoer published to state what really happened and I made sure to look pitiful as possible. For normal nobles, I will look like a victim of baron Niviez who can't help but imprison him due to the law but for intelligent nobles like family heads, they will immediately understand that I did it on purpose"Your highness, you did welk yesterday but we have a problem" hearing what he had just said, it urned to face him with a frown. His expression is not looking good as wellWith that, I wondered what problem it is for him to act like as if he's too worried."What is it?""Turned out that baron is assoviated with Marquis Viola"'Marquis Viola? T

"Finally! We were able to defeat the dragon!" The knights exclaimed loud as they cheer and celebrated. Just a while ago, we were able to slice it's neck using the combined aura of his majesty and me. Of course, at first I was more than against by the idea but then, as days goes by, mire and more knights are dying to if we don't move fast, we won't be able to save atleast half of the knights because of too much beast and wild animals around. Actually, all of us werren't really sure why did those suddenly appeared when in fact, we scouted the area first. So in result, I agreed and at the second attempt, we defeated it successfully.Now, they are all drinking since we'll move the next day after tomorrow. After all, we're too tired and needed a rest before going back'I'll finally see her again, I can't wait'I smiled unconciously but...It was immediately erased as soon as I heard a knight voice calking the emperor while saying these awful words"Your

(Aide's POV)"Now, report everything" His majesty said while giving me a stern look. This is why I told her highness to be careful because I jnew very well that I'll be roast alive again if she got into a danger while I am at her side. 'How come that the life of an aide is always like this?' I cried inside"Her highness noticed the corruption of Baron Niviez days ago and put him into prison but littke did we know, behind him is Marquis Viola who's known for his inhuman attitude. Unfortunately, we only knew that after imprisoning the baron so she can't withdrew her words. Then minutes after, she was poisoned here" I said as direct as I can. After all, at this time, he must be in a hurry that her lovely, precious daughter is in a brink of death ao if I dom't hurry, he might slice my head despite of our long time memory"Then where are you when she was poisoned? Don't tell me you just watched her as she suffer into pain?" Again,  a piercing eye en
