63Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f5OeQvuzYI don't know where this empire is headed. Since Demansion's rule began, many people have been happy, but just as many are expressing their opposition. I don't like his administration either, but..."
As Piecus thought this to himself, he turned and looked toward the palace gate.
"Oh, there aren't as many people today as there were yesterday! They must be fed up."
"Demansion! We don't like your rule! Leave our empire!"
A shout rang out, directed against Demansion.
"Hey!"
A voice made Piecus turn around. A man in a nearby shop called out to him.
"Uncle Lias!"
Lias: "Hey Piecus, come here!"
Piecus: "Yes, Uncle Lias, I’m coming."
Lias: "Where were you going, Piecus?"
Piecus: "To training as usual, Uncle!"
Lias put his hand on his chin. "You look troubled... what’s the matter?"
Piecus: "Oh, it’s nothing like that, Uncle Lias!"
Lias: "I know, Piecus, that you don't like this Demansion government. Is that right?"
Piecus looked at Lias.
"Yes, Uncle Lias, I don't like this rule. Even though many people like his administration... this rule doesn't feel right!"
Lias: "Me too, Piecus. So many rumors have cropped up around the palace. Looking at them, it seems like many secrets are hidden inside. Also, day by day, the number of people protesting in front of the palace is decreasing. This isn't simple. I feel like he is doing something internally."
Piecus's eyes filled with surprise.
The image of 22 people being lined up and slaughtered, along with many others who were killed and tortured, was running through Ferran's mind as he walked inside the palace.
"Since Demansion's rule began, more than 2,000 lives... even if they were protesters... they were still the public. He made me kill so many with my own hands! I haven't done this work until now."
He put his hand on his forehead.
"But why the need to kill? (Sighs) Yes, even if the empire's laws are like that, there is nothing wrong with the court granting them their lives, is there!?"
As he walked, Ferran noticed Prince Bogai sitting near the balcony. He was confused. "Prince Bogai? (Looking closer) Why is he crying?"
He closed his eyes, bowed his head, and let out a deep sigh.
"No... it is destiny!"
Ferran then walked toward Demansion's room.
"Lord Demansion."
"Come, Raze Warrior Ferran!"
Ferran: "May I know the reason I was summoned, my King?"
Demansion looked toward Ferran.
"I have seen your work and I am impressed, Raze Warrior. As long as there are soldiers like you, no trouble will ever befall this empire."
Ferran: "Thank you, my King."
Demansion: "You have done so much for me in these few days... you no longer need to work so hard alone. In a few days, another Commander will be working alongside you."
Ferran: "Who is it?"
Demansion: "Blazing... the Dragon Flame!"
Ferran: "Dragon?"
Demansion laughed mockingly.
"You will see for yourself, Commander Ferran. You may leave now."
Ferran did not leave; he glared at Demansion.
"Lord Demansion, I must ask you a question."
Demansion: "Oh, speak, Ferran."
Ferran: "What is your true intention for this Empire of Pigyonia?"
Demansion looked at Ferran's face for a moment, then turned toward the balcony.
"What is my intention for Pigyonia? A good question, Commander Ferran. Look, before I arrived, this empire was burdened and economically decaying. Now, look at how comfortable your country is. My intention is for Pigyonia to be prosperous, happy, and developed. This is my vision."
Ferran: "Then why did you kill the King!?"
Demansion was silent for a moment, then said:
"That was a necessary death, Commander Ferran."
"Don't lie, King!" Ferran thundered. "If you did this with good intentions, you could have come as a protector to the people. Now tell me—why did you kill the King?"
Demansion: "It was done to stabilize the administration!"
Ferran: "Lies! Who are you? What do you want? Tell me!"
He drew his weapon.
How Ferran learned the truth:
When Ferran had approached Prince Bogai’s room earlier:
"Prince Bogai?" he had noticed. "Why is Prince Bogai crying?"
He walked inside.
"Prince Bogai?"
Bogai wiped his tears. "Come in, Raze Commander."
Ferran: "Prince Bogai, why are you crying?"
Bogai: "It’s nothing."
Ferran: "I saw you, Prince. Tell me, what happened?"
Bogai remained silent in grief, then spoke:
"The King's death was not untimely. It was murder!"
Ferran’s eyes snapped open in shock!
"W-What!?"
Bogai: "Yes. And the one who did it is none other than Demansion!"
Ferran gripped his weapon tightly.
Bogai: "If he truly wanted to do good, he could have joined the people. Why did he have to kill King Brammi?"
Ferran thought back to everything—the Goblin attacks and Demansion's sudden appearance.
Bogai continued:
"He doesn't belong to our world. No one has seen him before. Whatever he is doing on that throne, it’s not for a cause—it’s for his own use!"
He grabbed Ferran’s shoulders.
"Commander Ferran, you must stop him somehow! If you don't, this Empire will go to the brink of extinction!"
Ferran was stunned, his eyes filling with rage.
"Prince Bogai! Do not be afraid! I am the Raze Warrior of Pigyonia. I will stop him and save the Empire!"
Present Time:
"Tell me, Demansion! Who are you? Where did you come from? What do you want!?"
Demansion turned toward him slowly. "Commander Ferran..."
Before he could finish, Ferran lunged at him.
The massive palace window shattered as Demansion was hurled through it. He fell from the palace and crashed into the city square!
The citizens in the streets that evening were startled.
"Something just fell from the palace!?"
Piecus: "What is that!?"
Piecus and Lias both ran toward it.
Ferran attacked with incredible speed. He struck Demansion’s face and kicked him in the gut, sending him skidding. As Demansion was still airborne, Ferran moved in for another strike...
But Demansion defended, stopping Ferran in his tracks.
Several shops and houses were destroyed by the force of the fight.
Seeing Demansion defend, the enraged Ferran roared:
"DEMANSION!!"
To be continued...!!
