The Heavenly Demon Can’t Live a Normal Life

If…..
If Roman Dmitry was similar to Benedict, Fabius would have put on a fake face and cried out his loyalty, but Roman was not Benedict.
He honestly emphasized a mutually beneficial relationship.

Tak.

“Please accept me.”

He was on his knees.
He bowed his head and let go of his pride.
The more he looked at him, the more he liked him.
The appearance of having a solid foundation to lead someone—this was the answer he had been searching for.

“Count Fabius.”

He raised his head.
Seeing him look up, Roman Dmitry showed an unwavering gaze.

“From now on, you are one of my people, and you will enjoy everything you want.”

A few days later, after completing all the preparations, Count Fabius joined the delegation and headed for the Kronos Empire.
They were running out of time.
There was a time limit of ten days, so it was a bit of a forced march, but the delegation had no choice but to hurry.

While moving, a member of the delegation and a noble who followed the King asked,

“Count Fabius.
How on earth can you survive betraying someone you love? I honestly don’t understand.
Even if you sometimes fail, you have to succeed dozens of times to be recognized, and Roman Dmitry isn’t the type to tolerate failure.
Most of all, didn’t you survive by moving to another powerful side this time too?”

It was an honest question, to which Fabius answered with a smile,

“There is something that people misunderstand.
There is romance in betrayal.”

“Romance?”

“Yes.
The so-called renegades tend to stick around without a solid spine and only seek gain.
Such beings have no right to swear allegiance.
Those in power already have people who have devoted themselves to them, but how can they survive if there are no such people among them?”

Driving his horse and looking through the plains, he thought of Roman Dmitry.

“That is why I always give my heart.
Despite knowing that a man named Fabius was a traitor, he asked me to prove my worth so he wouldn’t abandon me.
It is a simple thing.
There are people willing to risk their lives.
If a person dares to make a decision that even the most loyal people would hesitate to make, but that person has a past of being a traitor, would the part about him being a traitor be the only thing you decide to listen to? For that one reason alone?”

“….no, I will probably keep him by my side and use him.”

“That’s right.
You will use him.
That one chance is how a traitor becomes a follower.”

Actually, their relationship wasn’t completely sincere.
It was true that he was sincerely carrying out the orders, but that was what the other person wanted.

However, Roman was different.
For the first time, he didn’t put on a mask and speak of loyalty, and Fabius mustered up the courage to speak about a mutually beneficial relationship.

‘I also don’t like this life of betrayal.
If Marquis Benedict had stayed in power for the rest of his life, I would have stuck with him.
The reason I live a life of betrayal is that there has been no one to whom I wanted to give my loyalty to.
And Roman Dmitry is someone who is different from the others I had experienced with.’

It could be a hasty thought, but Count Fabius thought that he might have found someone to serve for the rest of his life.

The Capital of the Empire.

They had arrived in Aleksandr.
Count Fabius, who was visiting the Empire for the first time, was shocked as he looked at the castle’s gate.

‘… is this an empire?’

There was a huge castle, and the scenery inside was shocking.
The magnificent buildings, which couldn’t be seen in Cairo, and the strong-looking guards on the other side of the roads gave him goosebumps.

Search bit.ly/3iBfjkV for the original.

He scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, and this proved just how powerful the empire was.
It was so different from Cairo.
Daniel Cairo was swayed by the nobles, but Kronos was a nation that respected the Emperor like a God.

“Follow me.”

They passed through the gate, escorted by a knight.
The pattern on his forearm proved that he was a member of the 7th Knight Troops, and yet the force this man held was unique.
Every time their eyes met, it felt so intense that he gasped for breath.

Even if Count Fabius wasn’t a great swordsman, he could at least guess whether or not the other person was a strong being.
He was sure of it—the Imperial Knights were stronger than Count Nicholas.
He couldn’t be certain if the existence called Cairo’s First Sword could rival this man.

‘I have now entered an extraordinary world.’

His mouth felt dry.
He hadn’t even met the Twelve Swords of the Continent yet.
If he had been tasked to be his guide, then he was surely just a gatekeeper, but that alone completely overwhelmed Count Fabius.

And the reason why the envoy of Cairo was now in Kronos popped into his mind.
Roman Dmitry took Gustavo’s life, the leader of the 10th unit of the Knights of Kronos, but such a result didn’t even seem to bother Kronos.

He took a step.
As he entered the palace, which was the pinnacle of splendor, he passed through endless corridors before stopping in front of a huge door.

“Your Majesty, the Emperor, the envoy has arrived.”

The door didn’t open right away.
It was the Emperor’s place.
Even though the knight was simply looking at the door as he spoke, he bowed his head to the door and showed respect.

Even though Count Fabius was loyal to a different nation, he bowed to the huge door and didn’t dare look up until the Emperor’s voice could be heard from the other side.

It was then….

Creak.

The door opened.

Count Fabius, who finally entered the room, trembled at the presence in front of him.
It was the Emperor of the Empire.
The sight of him looking down from the highest point made Count Fabius gulp.

‘… the moment I slip my words, I will die right here.’

His instincts warned him.

A giant who shouldn’t be touched—that was what Count Fabius thought of the Emperor of Kronos, whom he was meeting for the first time.
