For Rulno and Charlemagne, the transition was not difficult.

It was enough to announce to all the court mages that Ruerno had 'resigned' as the chief one, as the news of their claim to Cloudsdale had spread throughout the guild.

The court mages had already guessed what was going on, so there was no need for an explanation.

And they've heard about it, chief ...... Oh no, it should be 'Lord Rurno' who has been in poor health since he recovered from his injury, and he is very weak.

The change of position is only a little earlier, and even if this does not happen now, in a few years, Charlemagne's second seat will smoothly take over the position of 'chief'.

But not surprised, not surprised, the shock that the court mages were shocked did not stem from this incident.

What really shocked them was that His Excellency Ruerno had filed a claim against Cloudsdale, and it was Charlemagne's Chief who had gone in person, so it could be said that the two of them had already made all the preparations...... But they hadn't heard of it before!

Not only that, but they were also deeply puzzled by the previous inexplicable attack.

But no one came to explain to them what was going on, and they didn't know how much of the game was going on behind the scenes, and they were kept in the dark from beginning to end, and they didn't know anything about the bottom line.

The bewilderment and confusion of the court mages was not explained, and Charlemagne did not intend to explain anything to them, for it would not be long before they would know what was going on.

The handover of positions was a formality, with Ruerno announcing his abdication in front of the court mages and becoming an ordinary court mage, and then Charlemagne symbolically taking over the position.

After doing this, they left without much explanation.

Ruerno went home to rest first, he had spent too much energy today, and the rest of his spirit could no longer support this tired body.

Charlemagne, on the other hand, returned to the office on the top floor of the Wizard's Tower, the one that belonged to the 'Chief', of course, which Ruerno had cleaned up a few days ago, and he would only have to wait for the official handover before he could move his belongings in.

Here, Charlemagne meets an unexpected, reasonable visitor.

Standing at the door, Charlemagne was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, closed the door behind him, and smiled at the figure sitting behind the desk and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know why you came?"

Maggie Isser, who had been holding back her anger since the moment she saw Charlemagne, finally couldn't help but burst out with anger after hearing this.

"Don't you know why I'm here?!"

The emperor slapped the table with great force, and the pen holder and inkwell placed on the table were 'frightened' and jumped up.

Staring at the emperor's hideous face, Charlemagne pursed his lips and smiled, nodding slightly, "Of course, Your Majesty, of course I know why you came......"

“...... So what are you laughing at?" Maggie Isser squeezed the words out between his teeth, and at this moment, he was so angry that he couldn't express it.

Everyone was hiding from him...... Everyone is hiding from him!

Not only his teacher, Ruerno Luches, but even the second and even third seats of the Court Mage Association may be hiding from him!

"Are you laughing at my stupidity? Tell me, Charlemagne Gleeson!!!

The Emperor's roar was locked up in this office by Charlemagne with a little 'little trick', and it could not be transmitted, otherwise it might cause a lot of gossip.

"Not really, my majesty. ”

Charlemagne smiled and sighed: "It's just an old man's long-cherished wish, he wants this empire to be better, so ......"

"Isn't the current empire good enough?" Maggie Isser glared at the legendary mage, the new 'chief', "isn't this country good enough under my rule?"

"The empire is good enough......"

But Charlemagne shook his head, "But that's only for the 'old era'—times have changed, my majesty." If it were not only up to the times, the empire would have been left behind, like our distant relatives, and would have become a rotten nation. ”

"Rot?" the Magic Emperor sneered.

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor's expression, Charlemagne was slightly stunned, then lowered his eyes and chuckled: "Yes, Your Majesty, now this country has begun to rot, and this rot has penetrated deep into the bone marrow......"

After being silent for a long time, Maggie Easy's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she asked in a cold voice, "The rot that you said of penetrating deep into the bone marrow...... Does it mean 'aristocracy'?"

"Yes, that's right. Charlemagne replied with a smile, "It's the 'nobles'!"

His outspokenness even surprised the emperor slightly, because he was a nobleman himself, and his family was one of the pillars of the empire.

But how could he, Charlemagne Gleeson, say such a thing?

He betrayed his family?

Maggie Easy, who suddenly thought of this possibility, thought it was ridiculous herself, but looking at the demeanor of the 'chief' in front of her, it didn't seem to be fake.

“...... Why didn't you report it to me?" the Magic Emperor asked.

After seeing Charlemagne Gleason's serious gesture, he decided to solve the problem in a different way.

Then, Maggie Easyr saw a little surprise on Charlemagne's face—

"If I remember correctly, Chief ...... Rurno: He should have already sent you an invitation. Charlemagne asked, confused.

The emperor's eyes widened, and his mouth opened slightly.

Yes, there have been invitations......

The emperor's face slowly darkened, and then gradually became hideous.

"That's ...... My Empire !!" Maggie Easy's eyes erupted with a devouring divine light and roared wildly.

"No ......"

Charlemagne shook his head slightly, squeezing out a ceremonial smile, "This is 'us'—you and our empire are." The empire belongs to every Kurkut, not just you, or the royal family, or the nobles. ”

The Emperor was suddenly stunned.

After hearing this, his mind went blank.

It was as if some irritating voice kept echoing in his ears, so that he couldn't hear anything from the outside world.

At this moment, he felt his body, brain, and even soul tremble!

"Stop ......"

It wasn't an illusion, Maggie Isser heard her voice tremble.

"Stop!" he ordered his minister.

"Stop. He instructed his minister.

"Stop......" he pleaded with tears streaming down his face.

After staring at the emperor for a long time, Charlemagne lowered his eyes, hiding the compassion in his eyes, shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty, we can't stop anymore, because we have already prepared for it, and now the plan has been executed, and there is no way to stop." ”

"I am the Emperor of this empire......" said Maggie Isser numbly.

"Yes, you are the emperor of this empire. Charlemagne replied softly.

Maggie Easy's body trembled, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Then you ...... Why go against my will? I'm the ruler of this empire, and I don't want to see this happen......"

"Because ......"

Charlemagne took a deep breath and raised his eyes to meet the Emperor's eyes full of pain.

The firmness in his eyes did not change, he curled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "We don't want this country to sink, and I didn't want to see this happen, but after going through some things, I found that with the size of an empire, I can only be at the forefront of the world, otherwise this empire will fall apart - just like our distant relatives once were." ”

"I apologize to you for that, but it's impossible for us to stop......"

Bowing to the emperor, Charlemagne said apologetically: "The plan has begun, so please watch quietly!"
