Louise von Schwartz was a key figure in the demon army and had to stay in the palace, even though she needed to return to her homeland as soon as possible. She had to know everything necessary in the palace as she played a crucial role in the demon army. Louise looked at Reinhardt, who was sitting frozen in his chair. Although they had a long period of cooperation, Louise had never met the demon king in person. She had only communicated with him through Rowen. Louise was an important and close collaborator, but she did not know the demon king at all. Reinhardt seemed nervous and hesitant to speak, but eventually he revealed that he wanted to talk about marriage. Louise understood the situation immediately and knew that it was important to build a relationship with the new empire, especially since her family, the Schwartz royal family, had been the first imperial family. For the survival of the royal family and to become a member of the empire, Louise agrees to marry Reinhardt. She understands the importance of maintaining good relations with the new empire. Charlotte is shocked that Louise actually completed the mission she was given. Louise tells the demon king that there is something he needs to know about Reinhardt, but he already knows. Charlotte teases Louise about having to tell Reinhardt's mother about the marriage. After the return of the Allied Forces, all the temple soldiers returned to the temple, including Reinhardt. The entire continent was in turmoil due to the end of the Gate War and its aftermath, and the temple was no exception. Amidst the uncertainty, despair, fear, and faint hope, Louise called Reinhardt to the garden in front of Tetra's palace to tell him that she would marry him. Charlotte and Herriot witnessed Reinhardt's outburst of anger and desire to kill the emperor, but the situation was eventually resolved with the help of an unknown person. Reinhardt is still shaken by the experience. Translation: Second floor of Tetra's palace. After the situation was resolved, Rianna, who didn't know English, grabbed me and asked what had happened. I was drinking tea and replied with a sigh. Rianna listened to the whole story and nodded with a worried expression. It was a strange situation where even Rianna, who usually boasts, couldn't help but look worried. Charlotte didn't seem to have any ill intentions, but even if she didn't, it was clear that this situation would have happened. The first country with remaining power was obviously the Empire, and the second was Kernstadt. If the two forces combined, there would be virtually no power to resist the new empire. So Rianna knew that it was necessary to strengthen the bond, but it was difficult to accept. "By the way, are you going to marry five people at once?" "Yes." Herriot, Charlotte, Olivia, Ailey, and Louise. I have to marry all five of them at once. Rianna, who was counting on her fingers, suddenly pointed to herself. "What about me?" "What?" "Why am I not included?" No. What are you going to do? You... "It's not like I wouldn't have considered marrying you if you had said you had to marry me." "Stop it, stop it... enough." "Well, I don't like the life of a concubine who waits for an emperor with many wives and looks at a closed door." Rianna sips her tea. "Actually, I don't have anything other than my psychic abilities, so there's no political gain for me." The prestige of the Granitz Duke, who was a great nobleman of the former continent, disappeared with the death of the Granitz Duke and Rianna's escape, along with the Gate War. But she may be a psychic who can shake the world. Charlotte probably didn't force Rianna to marry her because there was no political gain to be gained from it. Of course, if it's better to do it, she'll probably ask for it. No. But why is Charlotte deciding on my marriage? Why am I just doing what I'm told? Is this what it means to be an emperor? Is this right? Rianna looks out the window while sipping her tea. "But I don't have to be your wife to help you in the future." She says she'll continue to help me as a Four Heavenly Kings. Rianna giggles. Yeah. The distance between her and me is just right. That's why there are good things about it.
