But so far, Medivh has not discovered anything that August has changed…
This is very interesting.
"So, what exactly did that brat August change?!"
Medivh was utterly perplexed by this. He sat at the Guild's bar, silently pondering.
Until the bartender inside the bar served him a glass of Water of Life.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp…"
"Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I'll just stop thinking!"
"Drinking is more important!"
Well, Medivh drank heavily, no longer thinking about anything else.
Yes, the invincible Lord Medivh simply gave up thinking.
At the same time, West Continent Alakitasia.
Currently, the strongest country on the West Continent.
Of course, it would not be an exaggeration to call it the strongest country in the Earth-land World.
At the same time, this is also the only nation on the West Continent…
Within the Alvarez Empire.
Currently, a very important meeting is being held.
This is a high-level meeting convened by Irene Belserion, the head of the Spriggan 12, known as 'Scarlet Despair'.
Any Mage who is one of the Spriggan 12 must attend.
Inside the conference room.
"Has Lord Eileen not arrived yet?!"
"Looking at it this way, I arrived quite early…"
The person who entered had long purple hair, a light makeup on his face, and wore a form-fitting green knight's armor, but it was a female version! Yes, this was a sissy whose walking posture and dressing style leaned towards femininity! That's right, he was a man…
Although his strength was undoubtedly 'Shield-class'.
But he had no demeanor of a strong person at all, his face full of fawning flattery only a sycophant would have…
He seemed to humble himself greatly, especially in situations where his so-called Lord Eileen was present.
Well, the person who came was Neinhart, a current member of the Spriggan 12.
Unlike some of the neutral factions, emperor factions, and other factions among the current Spriggan 12, he was an undeniable Eileen faction member! In other words, a supporter of Eileen within the Empire, commonly known as a sycophant.
"Ever since Princess Erza left the Alvarez Empire to seek her relatives on the Ishgar Continent, the entire Empire has become much quieter, it's really a bit boring…"
"I think I'll just resign from the Spriggan 12 after a while and go to the Ishgar Continent to be Princess Erza's bodyguard?!"
"After all, no matter how you look at it, being a close bodyguard to the Regent's little princess is much more promising than this position as a nominal close minister and bodyguard to the Emperor, yet never even seeing the Emperor!"
Neinhart came to the long table where the Spriggan 12 held meetings, sat down in a corner, and muttered to himself, looking utterly bored.
Honestly, currently the entire Alvarez Empire is controlled by Eileen, who is the Regent. All matters, big and small, in the country currently require Eileen's approval…
Over ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of the people in this country have never seen the legendary Emperor, who is said to be a divine dragon, seen only by its head, never its tail.
Take himself for example…
Since he was thirteen, he graduated from the Imperial Academy with the title of genius, became an honorable Imperial Knight, and spent a full fifteen years achieving a series of accomplishments, finally meeting Her Majesty Eileen, who was the Regent (of the same rank as a Prince Regent).
And after that, he swore allegiance to Eileen, and with Eileen's help, broke through to 'Shield-class', successfully becoming a member of the Spriggan 12 last year. During this time, he had never even once seen that legendary Imperial Emperor.
Isn't it hilarious?
The close guard responsible for protecting the Emperor's safety has never even seen that so-called Emperor. When asked, it's always that His Majesty the Emperor is wandering outside, and no one knows where he is?!
It's truly ironic.
Honestly, if Lord Eileen hadn't personally said that there really was an Emperor in this country, and that it wasn't just a story to coax children…
Even he, as the Emperor's close guard, would start to doubt if such a person as the Emperor truly existed in this country?!
"Neinhart, you're here?"
Just as Neinhart was perplexed, someone else entered the conference room!
The newcomer was a fellow whose attire was completely out of place with Neinhart's…
This person's hair was messy as if he hadn't washed it for days, his back was hunched, and he wore an orange work uniform with the imperial emblem printed on it, looking exactly like a mechanic who had just finished work in a car repair shop and came to the meeting without even changing his clothes.
"Tsk tsk, Wahl Icht."
Neinhart instinctively rolled his eyes upon seeing the newcomer. He disliked people who dressed carelessly, especially those who didn't pay much attention to personal hygiene.
"Neinhart, rest assured! I am of the Machine Race, unlike you humans. All parts of my body are mechanical components made of metal, so even if I don't bathe for a few days, there won't be any odor."
Wahl Icht looked at Neinhart, his eyes flickering, seemingly having analyzed Neinhart's thoughts, and then replied.
"Smells like engine oil."
Neinhart didn't even bother to acknowledge Wahl Icht.
This guy's sycophancy was all given to Eileen and everyone related to Eileen; in front of outsiders, he was incredibly arrogant. He also called himself the 'Rose Knight,' a knight as beautiful as a rose, just a very disgusting person.
