I Became the Hero Who Banished the Protagonist

“Welcome, warrior. It took a lot of hard work to defeat the fog and run straight to Ye.”

“It’s been intense in the past. Is His Majesty at peace?”

The atmosphere of the warrior was quite different. The air exhaled by the ministers who held their breath fell to the floor and covered it. The warrior did not even look back at the ministers. Previously, the hero the ministers had seen was incomplete. It seemed like he was constantly fighting something invisible, and even if he tried to look like he was not, he was constantly conscious of the gazes of his ministers.

The appearance of such a warrior was a good prey for old people who had been wallowing in the muddy water of politics for a long time. However, the hero was bitten and seemed to fall, but did not fall.

“You were upset. You’re talking funny. So, while dealing with the calamity, did you even try to keep writing to me?”

“In that case, I don’t think His Majesty would have had anything to worry about. From now on, even if I am leaving for an expedition, I will continue to send you correspondence.”

The warrior was completely ignoring the ministers. The sense of intimidation emanating from him enveloped the ministers. It wasn’t the intimidating feeling of the king who pressed down. A presence like a gigantic mountain that makes you lower your head naturally just by being still.

“You seem to have no hesitation in dealing with me now. Just what I was hoping for.”

“It can’t be. I feel like my legs are still trembling when I see His Majesty.”

Agnes laughs at the hero’s words. The officials exchanged glances with each other. And their lost eyes eventually focused on the Minister of Home Affairs. What should I do? The Minister of Home Affairs secretly broke into a cold sweat at the eyes of the aristocrats asking such a question. The Minister of Home Affairs looked around and quickly opened his mouth.

“spin… You are here, warrior.”

Even so, you have to save your life first. The aristocrats who were eagerly looking at the Minister of Home Affairs gave a bad look. Up until now, you have been challenging the queen’s authority by slashing down warriors, but you’re going to drop your tail and raise the white flag and declare surrender?

“no… Minister of Home Affairs, now.”

“You guys don’t seem happy that the hero came back, huh? As I said, I was hoping for the return of the hero more than anyone else.”

The nobles’ expressions changed to one of bewilderment. Shamelessly, the Home Secretary shrugged and turned to the Queen and the Champion.

“Well, if this happens, all our assumptions will be useless, Your Majesty. This is how the warrior came back with a strong figure.”

The Minister of Home Affairs turned his head and looked at the nobles with sharp eyes. Don’t these idiots understand? When the hero proves himself at the hearing and defeats the three calamities, is it suicidal to engage in a political fight in the face of the hero?

“That’s right, Minister of Home Affairs. But weren’t you frantic to oust Illroy and find a new hero to put him in his place? Then who was the person I was talking to just now?”

The Minister of Home Affairs swallowed dryly at the Queen’s ridicule. that look. The Minister of Home Affairs realized inwardly. This is an operation to remove impurity molecules in the palace. And the Queen has already built up enough grounds to dismiss the Home Secretary.

“no. I believe that the warrior will understand this too. I wouldn’t have believed that you could come back either.”

“Why are you doing this, Minister of Home Affairs? All of a sudden you show respect Do what you normally do.”

The warrior’s words pierced terribly. The Minister of Home Affairs was about to twist his mouth, but the movement stopped in convulsions. The warrior was looking at him as if he was very disapproving. No, the Minister of Home Affairs is not the only one. Everyone who existed in this space, the hero was trying to look down. Instead, he felt humiliated by those eyes, but he endured it by pinching his thighs.

“People change, warrior. Right now, I’ve only been influenced by the steps the hero made while visiting Evernode and the Holy Kingdom. Let’s just say it’s pure admiration and admiration.”

“Ah yes. okay.”

The warrior turned his head away as if he had no interest in the Minister of Home Affairs’ excuse. The Minister of Home Affairs’ temple came up. When the Minister of Home Affairs slightly raised her gaze, the queen was looking at the hero with a thoughtful expression.

“Hero Illroy, I believe in you. Not as the queen’s trust in her servants, but as one of the many people who believe in the hero. If it wasn’t for you, this world would have perished many times.”

“I don’t know what to do when you say that.”

Agnes smiled softly and looked back at the ministers with cold eyes. His gaze was directed at the ministers who were trying to discredit the hero by pouring out primary criticism.

“Do you still see the hero as a new power within the palace? Do you see it as a sword aimed at you, not a shield or a wall to protect your lives? In other words, do you see them as objects to be kept in check in order to maintain your humble position?”

The nobles did not open their mouths. Agnes sighed in pity as she looked at the nobles who kept their mouths shut. I thought I would be able to sort them out this time, but more people than I thought were lining up at the Home Ministry.

“Your greed like this will put an end to your political life today.”

failure.

It was a word that floated on the faces of the nobles. The will to resist was broken. It was because the Minister of Home Affairs, the head of them, had already rolled up his tail. And, the Minister of Home Affairs with his tail down will probably survive this purge. At the Queen’s beckoning, another minister from the Ministry of Home Affairs ran up and stood beside the Queen.

“Ministers whose names are being called out from Daejeon right now.”

At the minister’s words, the expressions of the court aristocrats became more rotten.

“Earl Mason Charlton, Baron Meisen Romm… .”

The reaction of the nobles being called was one of three. People who cast darkness over their shady faces, people who couldn’t even figure out what was going on, and people who couldn’t stand it and protested loudly.

“I can’t do this! What the hell are we doing wrong!”

“Right! This is not a regular discussion in the palace!”

The knights who entered the Daejeon with the hero held the shoulders of the nobles who did not go out on their own. The nobles struggled to shake off the knights, but they couldn’t budge.

“Well then, please do your best.”

Words fell that sounded like a death sentence. The Minister of Home Affairs had to watch blankly as his limbs were dragged out of Daejeon. he survived No, even if they survived, they did not survive. Now he is a scarecrow. A scarecrow who is only guarding the spot.

“I wish I had just kept my mouth shut.”

One of the Home Officers muttered, and the Home Secretary sighed. The aristocrats, who had only noticed, turned their attention to the hero. The hero was still glaring at the aristocrats as if he was disgusted and pitiful. The nobles who met those eyes quickly lowered their heads, and in their ears, the sound of the hero snorting as if in a state of collapse was heard.

The gates of Daejeon opened, and those who would not be able to set foot on the royal capital left Daejeon. The Minister of Home Affairs avoided the gaze of the aristocrats who glared at him with resentment as his body was drained of strength.

“It’s fun. Can you see their eyes?”

Daphne whispered to me in a low voice. I nodded my head slightly in agreement. Now there were few eyes on the Minister of Home Affairs. Occasionally, there were only people who turned their heads to look at him out of curiosity, and even they soon turned their heads. A few words from the queen just now caused the Minister of Home Affairs to have his limbs cut off, and the person who could shake me inside disappeared.

“Yeah. Now all eyes are on this way.”

There were people who couldn’t even become bats. Now, with the eyes of those who are contemplating where to line up and fawn. I clicked my tongue a little when I realized that most of their eyes were looking at me.

“It was originally like that.”

I turned my head toward the sudden voice. The other Minister of the Interior was Count Benoit Aufre. About late 40’s. He was a man of medium height, with a shaggy beard. It seemed that it was time for him to reach his heyday as a middle-ranking minister. Perhaps he will take the place of the Minister of Home Affairs, who has lost his power.

“It will be rather difficult to find those who are not like them in this palace. Every moment is an opportunity for them to take care of themselves and expand their influence. Now that one big pillar, the Minister of Home Affairs, has been lost, naturally, they are wandering around looking for another pillar. It’s just that you’re under the huge illusion of being the hero.”

“How is the Count?”

“I am no different. It’s just that I’m holding on tighter than others.”

Count Benoi smiled lightly. It is very difficult to say that you are loyal to the Queen. It’s nice because I don’t look like anything.

“Thank you for defeating the disaster. Will you continue to be the hope of this world?”

He said that to Count Benoi and asked for a handshake. I nodded and answered Count Benoi’s question.

“Of course, Count.”

“Thank you, warrior. I wish you well in the future. And, the Queen is also well… Please.”

As Count Benoi was about to add his last words, he glanced at the queen and glanced at her. I was very uncomfortable with the words, but I just let it go as if I didn’t hear it.

“Hero Illroy.”

Startled at the sound of the Queen calling me, I turned my head and my shoulders trembled. The queen was looking at me with red eyes. I passed Count Benoi and approached the Queen’s throne.

“thanks. Thanks to you, many things have been solved. Post-mortem arrangements will be handled exclusively by the temporary personnel department, including Count Benoi.”

I smiled and nodded.

“Thanks to that, I won’t be shaken inside.”

“What do you mean? I’ve never doubted you If I’m not shaken, is it possible that I’m shaken inside?”

The Queen replied sternly. It was just a little surprising that you could trust me that much.

“… Your Majesty seems to have great trust in me.”

“It must be strange that someone who wants to hold your ankle after seeing what you’ve shown so far. Why are you burdened with my trust?”

I quickly shook my head, and the Queen laughed at my reaction.

“When you were dealing with me, you said it was okay to loosen up your shoulders… All the relaxed attitude you showed me when I just entered Daejeon must have been acting. Am I still embarrassed?”

“Not at all. It’s just that I don’t know how I’ll look in the eyes of others when I relax my shoulders. Some might think that it is disloyalty and an act that crosses the line.”

In fact, there were knights glaring at me with burning eyes as I was having a conversation with the queen. Is it your job as an escort knight? Or is it just personal jealousy? Seeing even the female knight glaring at me made me want to sigh.

“I didn’t know you were the kind of person who cares about others.”

“… I can’t bear His Majesty’s words.”

I had no choice but to speak to the queen in a slightly more comfortable tone, and the queen smiled a little thicker as if satisfied.

“yes. Anyway, this disaster has come to an excellent end. It is only natural that rewards follow. But this time, if you have a personal request or wish, I would like to grant it. It has nothing to do with the rewards given to the warrior party.”

The Queen looked at me with her chin resting on her proposal.

A personal request or wish.

I silently gazed at the queen, munched my lips, and decided to speak out about another resolution that had been in my heart since defeating the fog.

“Then, would it be all right if I ask for one right now?”

In my eyes filled with determination, the queen’s eyes were different. It seems that there is hope somewhere.

“Hoo. Do you have a wish you’ve been thinking about? good. Say it at least once.”

I looked straight into those red eyes and opened my mouth. my enthusiasm. And with sincerity.

“I want to become stronger.”

Upon hearing my words, the Queen’s expression grew fatter for about 0.1 second.
