A symbol of peace

A long time ago Nirke, the great god of victory, commanded a human.

｢Unify the continent and bring peace.｣

A time of frequent war chaos The woman who heard the voice willingly raised her weapon. The evils that began with disorder were not only known to God. The woman, who was blessed by God to achieve peace, won all wars and unified the fragmented lands.

And finally, she became the first emperor and presented the whole continent to heaven.

Nirke, who was able to see the things he had longed for, could not hide his satisfaction. He began to bless the devastated continent. From the roots, rotten vegetation that used to overflow the fruit trees, and nutrients were scattered on the burned and overturned land. The black waterways in and out of the continent were purified and the frozen atmosphere was melted to wake up spring.

However, it was not enough to express his overflowing heart.

The great god of victory agonized.

How should I sing this joy? What should I give to the woman who became the first emperor in accordance with my will to convey this feeling? Ah! They said that humans value their family. It is said that humans were afraid of loneliness. So let’s make a companion that can be with the emperor forever.

Nirke gathered all the beauty in the world and gave it into a body and blew a golden shining life into its eyes and hair. He also did not forget to add a blessing to it so that the finished creation could be with the emperor forever.

However, his faithful servant disobeyed God’s will for the first time.

‘Nirke, the great god. I already have a companion.’

The woman who became the first emperor already had a man who had been with her for a long time. With purple eyes, she had a spirit strong enough to be chosen by God, and her strength was never broken even in front of God.

Nirke, the god of victory who loved the emperor, took the time to think instead of being angry. Although she followed his will, humans were naturally self-thinking creatures. God, who realized that the way of expressing his heart was wrong, blessed the freedom of the woman.

The world admired God’s benevolence once again, and began to serve Nirke as the god of freedom.

Young Gloria slowly blinked her round eyes when she heard the story that had been handed down for such a long time. It was a myth to praise the great god and the brave emperor, so I know that the two had no choice but to be the main characters, but the child wondered if there’s anything else.

It is said that God was satisfied, and the emperor and her other half only looked at each other until their very last moment.

So, what happened to the beautiful creature that was made to become the emperor’s companion?

⚔

The servants and escorts who guarded the emperor’s room swallowed dry saliva with their eyes lowered. The scene of the emperor and the duke drinking tea in one place was peaceful, noble, and overflowing with dignity, but no one knew that the only plausible thing was their appearance. In the center of it was a huge storm that would easily blow away the room, they tried to hide their anxiety and held their breath.

It wasn’t long before Titania Helen Avalon, the emperor of the empire, opened her mouth, turning her blood-red hair behind her back.

“I want to be alone with the Duke.”

It was a long-awaited wedding. Those who raised the tip of their ears closely and engraved every single word of her voice moved their bodies without adding a single word. A door made of high-quality ivory and refined gold closed quietly.

Just in time, Gloria Benedict Lepel, the Duke of the Empire who had just emptied her teacup, rose from her seat and hit the table. Her short silver hair swayed softly.

“Your Majesty.”

“I let them all out, didn’t I? Put the title down for a while.”

I don’t know what she did well that made her so proud. Gloria sat down again, turning over her hair that her servants had arranged since the morning. Unlike a while ago, she raised her purple eyes like Titania and opened her mouth.

“If humans have a conscience, they shouldn’t do this. Don’t you think so, sister? Huh?”

“Oh, my dear sister. It’s ridiculous that you, a transcendent, discuss human conscience.”

Gloria held up the teapot, barely pressing her desire to roar loudly like an unlearned wild animal. First, I drank it all at once along with the tepid tea to soothe my stomach.

Still, the explosion was unstoppable.

“You like your beloved sister! How much love do you have to get your sister to marry an enemy? I’m saying that I can get married by making concessions a hundred and a thousand times and living as a noble. But there’s something I really can’t do. Can you sleep in the same bed with the guy who’s been trying to pick a fight every time we meet on the battlefield? Is that possible? Is it possible!?”

Titania blatantly avoided my eye. Of course it’s impossible. But she couldn’t help it.

The two border-bound empires, Avalon and Barodi, signed a peace treaty after three years of war. In the process, the crown prince of Barodi visited his home country as an envoy, which was the problem. He is talking about peace. However, it was unusual to send the first in line of succession to the capital of the enemy country, which had been fiercely beaten until a month ago.

Barodi put the crown prince’s head in the lion’s mouth and proved that he desperately wanted peace in front of the people. In response, Avalon had to show the same response. In order for things to not go wrong, they have to prove it so that the cause of the war would not go to waste.

“The two who wielded swords and spears on the front line will become a couple, so is there anything like this that symbolizes peace? And now they’re no longer an enemy country, and the Marquis of Nagrije is not a disgrace.”

Paha. Gloria, who made the sound of the wind with her mouth as if she had drunk a lot, sarcastically criticized her.

“Wow, seriously, Your Majesty is also single, so how can I get married first as a servant?”

Titania smiled and responded.

“Only at times like this do you emphasize the example of a military commander. Can you give me an edict in the name of the Emperor? And it’s you who chose to be the duke. If you don’t want to hear my orders, you should have been the Emperor.”

Gloria and Titania were twin sisters born to the Duke of Leppel. The former emperor, who had no children, pointed out the two who inherited the blood of the royal family as descendants, and it was natural that Titania, the eldest daughter, became the emperor and Gloria, the second daughter, became the duke.

Titania opened her mouth as soon as she slightly regretted her childhood when Lefelga’s second daughter rejected the weight of the gold crown with her whole body.

“I don’t mean to stick you guys together forever. It’s said to be a symbol of peace, so I just need to show them for a moment. He said that a year would be enough for the crown prince to stand as a witness.”

In a world where divorce is not a crime, what’s the benefit of sticking two enemies together for a long time? Literally, it was only necessary to hold out for a while when rumors were rampant. After the peace agreement, if interest dies down, they can live separately, stamp, and walk their own path.

That brief moment may be a bit painful, but it’s not my business.

“So just think of it as putting one transcendent like you in your lover’s corps. You know, I’ve seen it on the battlefield, but isn’t it nice on the outside? Since he’s surpassed humans, his stamina won’t be bad. I think he’s a man you’ll like.”

Gloria, who was listening calmly, frowned as if she was speechless. Yeah, face, it’s very important. Physical strength was also very important. If the things you haven’t seen yet are great, then he would be someone you could sleep with. However, as I said earlier, it was my opponent who was trying to kill me. I would rather not be threatened with my life in bed where I should get mental satisfaction and stability.

“I’d rather run away with a guy in Harlem, my sister. I don’t like him.”

“I want to believe that my cute sister is not that stupid. Bed is an option, so let’s settle on our own and hang in there for a year. Wouldn’t it be better for the Duke to divorce than for the Emperor?”

Titania, who made a lot of correct statements, added a word.

“As a noble of the Empire, do your duty as much as you enjoy your privileges.”

It was crazy.

⚔

Perhaps because of her years as a knight, Gloria was infinitely vulnerable to the weak’s request. It couldn’t have been so difficult to refuse like breathing. But the most useless moment of her will was when she faced Titania.

Since the days when they have no title for each other, Gloria has always been weak to Titania’s will. On days when they had an argument, they used to break up each other’s skulls. It is unknown if she still has quite a thick head now, but since she has already become a military official, she cannot stage a fight.

That’s why she’s obeying her like this.

Gloria, who thought that others might know about it, entered the party with her attendant. It was a celebration of the end of the war and the peace agreement. She was greeted by a skillful drag on her slick dress, and soon she was seated next to the wall.

Walking around the battlefield with a spear doesn’t mean she doesn’t like dresses and jewelry. Rather, she liked it very much. The only duke in the empire was full of money, and her sister regarded the splendor at the party as a virtue.

Gloria, who was wearing a black dress with silver thread engraved on it, grabbed the shawl that covered her upper body. A dress with a clear back and legs, and a diamond necklace on her neck and collarbone. She liked most things, including the hairdo made with the servants’ sincerity, but only one thing trampled on all her pleasures.

“………isn’t she the Duke of Leppel?”

In the name of the great god Nirke, Gloria is able to say that she has become more patient than ever.

Just look at the fact that the mouth of the one who spoke was not yet torn apart by a spear. How merciful she is!

“Long time no see. Marquis Nagrije.”

She lifted her head stiffly with a forced smile. She had the power to step on this person today, even though she had a sneaking argument. The titles of the two empires had the same value because either side was not defeated in the war.

In other words, she’s a duke and this person is a marquis. If this person’s head is not a shabby decoration, he will do as much as he can.

Vincent Theodore Nagrize, a man dressed in a conquest to match his dark blue hair, looked up and down at the woman whom he was forced to marry because of the order of the Crown Prince.

As he knew from the battlefield, her thin body was muscular, her short silver hair barely covering the back of her neck was smooth, and the face surrounded by it was beautiful. If he looks at her personality apart, she’s enough to be considered admirable.

The problem was the fact that her face and her personality were not inseparable.

“We are on the verge of becoming a couple because our relationship has not reached you. It’s lamentable.”

“Can we express this misery with the word ‘tearful’? It’s going to be a year of hardship.”

Titania was the only opponent Gloria folded to, and the Crown Prince was the only opponent Vincent followed. Haha. Haha. The cold air began to blow around the two who were creating a contrived laugh. Gloria’s attendant and deputy, who was quick-witted, competent, and experienced, was present, but she could not have calmed the momentum of the two transcendents alone.

The floor of the building, which should be the strongest and safest in the Empire, began to shake. The wine in the glass began to ripple and the chandelier stuck in the ceiling started to faint as if it would go out. The Emperor of the Avalon Empire rose from her seat around the time when people who noticed the unusual signs were thinking about evacuating with their heads clenched.

“I forgot to praise the lords for their hard work.”

Her voice infused with magic fell like a thunderbolt and hit the ears of the two transcendents. Titania smiled mildly against the men and women who were stunned. Gloria felt fear in their faces.

“I hope the heroes of the battlefield will resolve their memories. I will grant you permission to hold a meeting at the Imperial Palace.”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer’s face, which was near Titania, was muddy. Even if one of the transcendents makes a fuss, the two of them are given such a chance at a time when the damage is severe! It would be an unprecedented sight for the distinguished guests, but it was not very beneficial for the imperial finances.

“That’s not bad. Isn’t it an opportunity to shake off the accumulated resentment?”

However, William of Barodi, the Crown Prince, who was the representative of the envoys, applauded and sympathized with Titania’s will. There may be some misrepresentation in the expression, but she thought it was a reasonable judgment. It was better to prioritize the safety of others like this because they would still fight each other even if they left them alone.
