Larcade was stunned for a moment; he looked at the disdain in Invel Yura's eyes, and a hint of confusion appeared on his always pure exterior.
"I am not like you; I am one hundred percent of the Imperial faction!"
"The person I serve is His Majesty the Emperor of the Alvarez Empire!"
"I will only be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor…"
"As for who His Majesty the Emperor actually is?!"
"It means nothing to me…"
Invel Yura, with his hands behind his back, seemed to openly state his life philosophy in front of everyone present, without any hesitation.
Yes, rather than saying Invel Yura was loyal to the Emperor of the Empire, it would be more accurate to say Invel Yura was loyal to the person sitting on the throne.
No matter who sat on the throne, Invel Yura would be loyal to that person.
Of course, the premise was that the Emperor sitting on the throne was indeed stronger than him.
"Me too."
At this moment, Jacob smiled and nodded.
Yes, this Jacob guy was also a true and genuine Imperial faction member.
However, unlike Invel Yura, even if the person sitting on the throne was an idiot, Jacob would not hesitate to be loyal to that person.
After all, Jacob positioned himself as an assassin, meaning the sword in the Emperor's hand, and also His Majesty the Emperor's shadow; all the glory he obtained came from His Majesty the Emperor.
Compared to Jacob, Invel Yura still had his own little schemes.
Perhaps it was because Invel Yura was naturally smarter than ordinary people.
This guy always wanted to show his talent to the world. And because of this, he developed a personality where if no one suppressed him, he would desperately cause trouble.
However, if your strength is great enough…
They will all become your most effective blades and weapons.
"Ah, this…"
As Invel Yura's words fell, Larcade's eyes widened; for the first time, he discovered the difference between himself and humans; compared to demons, human thinking was simply too complex.
At the same time.
On the Ishgar Continent.
On a certain small island, in the palace of the Stella Kingdom, known as a resort and the Crystal Kingdom.
"I never would have thought!"
"After four hundred years, I can still meet one of my kind."
"If I hadn't seen you, I would have thought that all of our kind were slaughtered by that terrifying fellow four hundred years ago!"
A 'man' dressed in a magnificent emperor's robe, with short light-yellow hair and wearing a crown, sat on a high throne; he looked at the young man in front of him, silently shedding tears.
"Ah ha ha ha…"
"Senior, you're truly joking."
"My clan is developing very well on the North Continent Giltena!"
"However, on the Ishgar Continent, there are indeed no traces of us anymore."
"After all, this is the territory of 'Black Dragon King' Acnologia, the only one who achieved victory in the 'Dragon King Festival' in nearly four hundred years!"
The young man with light-yellow short hair burst into laughter after hearing the words of the person in front of him, and his words were still full of respect for Acnologia.
After all, Acnologia was the only 'Dragon King' among all the dragons currently alive in the world who had passed the 'Dragon King Festival' and was recognized by all dragon races.
"Hmph, that Acnologia is just a human."
"The ruler of this world will ultimately still be our Dragon Race."
As the young man's words fell, the man sitting on the throne, who was presumably the king of this country, immediately showed a displeased expression, and he said angrily.
"Heh heh…"
In response, the golden-haired young man merely chuckled softly, saying nothing more.
Although Acnologia might have initially just been a human, the great deeds he accomplished were an undeniable fact.
"So, 'Sword Saint Dragon' Kurnugi."
"Are you willing to become the Regent of my kingdom, Stella?!"
"And then, together with me, conquer the entire Ishgar Continent and eliminate the lifelong enemy of us dragons, the damned 'False Dragon King' Acnologia!!!"
The man sitting on the throne, who called himself Animus, the Emperor of the Stella Kingdom, asked the golden-haired young man in front of him, who was also Medivh's good eldest son, 'Sword Saint Dragon' Kurnugi.
"Become a Regent, huh?"
"It sounds quite interesting…"
Kurnugi nodded with a smile upon hearing this, showing an amused expression.
Hmm, while Medivh was still discussing how to expand the Alvarez Empire and the Fairy Tail Guild's influence…
Medivh's good eldest son, 'Sword Saint Dragon' Kurnugi, had already begun to consider how to conquer the Ishgar Continent?!
"Then the first country we must conquer is the Fiore Kingdom, known as the strongest nation on the Ishgar Continent and referred to as the perpetually neutral kingdom."
"Once we conquer the Fiore Kingdom, the other countries are not worth mentioning!"
King Animus of the Stella Kingdom, or more accurately, 'Crystal Dragon' Animus, who had once been defeated by Acnologia and forced to seal himself within a human body, unable to escape due to insufficient magic power, clenched his fists and said.
"Interesting, I'll take this job."
Kurnugi nodded slightly, smiling as he agreed to Animus's request.
To this, King Old Toma of the Fiore Kingdom expressed: "No, my friends, who understands this?! Why do these dragons and great villains, when they're idle, always come to attack my country? Who did I offend?"
After Kurnugi and Animus reached an agreement, thousands of Fourth Generation Dragon Slayers (fully automatic Dragon Slayer weapons created from Dragon Slayer Lacrima mass-produced by Crystal Dragon Animus) began to gather at the border of the Fiore Kingdom!
At the same time, after Kurnugi became the Regent of the Stella Kingdom, he purged all the nobles within the kingdom and, through employment, mobilized all the Mage Guilds and various Knight Orders throughout the country, organizing a Mage army of approximately ten thousand, which then pressed towards the border of the Fiore Kingdom.
An unprecedented great war seemed about to begin.
