Dante did not declare himself regent the next day. It was because there were issues that had to be sorted out before that.
An underground villa in the middle of the Empire.
A man was walking aimlessly through the living room. His pale face and trembling shoulders revealed his anxiety.
He is the second son of Ron Hairan, and is 'Tion Hairan', the flagbearer of Hairan.
The first person to betray Hairan and join the Emperor's treason. He took refuge in this underground villa before the end of the sword emperor castle war. With about fifty knights of the empire following him.
‘Damn it, why did this happen...…!’
There are many reasons why he betrayed Hairan. Despite being a flagbearer, he never once satisfied Ron, and was always overshadowed by his nephew, Dante, and never saw the light of day.
Tion thought it was all discrimination based on differences in talent. Dante, who was born an extreme weakling because he was encroached in chaos from birth, clearly knew what kind of effort he had made but turned a blind eye. It's easier to think of it as a difference in talent.
Ron, who was always hostile to the family, collapsed due to internal injuries, and the emperor made sweet suggestions to Tion.
There is a thing called 'white stone', so if you give false testimony about it in front of the people, I will make you the patriarch when Hairan goes extinct.
At that time, the emperor had said that he really coveted Tion's potential. That's why Tion accepted the emperor's offer without thinking for an minute.
Not even dreaming of the fact that the family had been silently waiting for Tion to return to his right path even after knowing the signs of his betrayal and disloyalty.
'I thought there was absolutely nothing to lose because Zipfel said they would come out if the imperial army was pushed back, but the king of the black sea? Why did something like that come out!'
Bang!
The table was shattered by Tion’s punch, and fragments flew. The knights who were looking at him were silent and coughed for no reason.
“Well, Sir Tion…… Has there been any contact from His Majesty?”
A knight asked cautiously.
“Is there? You fool, His Majesty is already finished. The possibility of our survival now depends on the Imperial Family, not His Majesty.”
“Still, His Majesty doesn't seem to have beaten yet. Looking at the situation outside, there is a rumor going around that Dante Hairan will declare the regency soon....”
“Ha, the family is not enough for you, so now you want to swallow empire? My nephew's world has come. I wouldn't know if my father was alive, you bastard!"
Tion roared with a sigh.
“Sir Tion, the imperial family has already ignored our calls three times. First of all, how about trying to get in touch with His Majesty somehow?"
“How many times do I have to say that His Majesty is finished! What's wrong with you?”
“Isn't it possible that the reason His Majesty hasn't been arrested is because he has the protection of the imperial family? Perhaps the imperial family has not given up on him yet. His Majesty may still hold a card that can turn the situation around. So, we need to talk to His Majesty.”
“If you tell me that I need to find his majesty one more time, I will break your neck...….”
Tion, who had been talking that far, stunned and met the knight's eyes.
Suddenly, an ominous intuition dominated his mind. Among the knights who followed him, there was no one who would argue to him like this.
“You…… What is it, why do you keep looking for His Majesty? Did you receive any orders from the imperial family? Who are you?"
“What do you mean?”
“Take off your helmet.”
“Sir Tion?”
“Take off your helmet! It's suspicious how obsessed with His Majesty. Hey! Arrest this guy, to be honest, I don't think he'll confess!”
The other knights watched the atmosphere and crept closer to him. The knight continued to keep his helmet on, then he sighed and said:
“That's right, it doesn't fit my character.”
The knight stretched out his hand into the air. Then he grabbed something invisible and pulled it, and then the three knights approaching him were dismembered like randomly sliced fish.
Squeak-!
What he pulled was a hidden weapon in the form of a thread. The blood that gushed out like a fountain instantly turned Tion’s face red, and he blinked an instant to realize that the knight had disappeared from his sight.
‘Eh, what is this……!’
The knight was standing behind Tion, holding a dagger to his throat. He had taken off his helmet, but what covered his face was a milky-white mask.
It was already a week ago that Bizen, the nameless best executioner, had infiltrated Tion's underground villa.
During that week, Bizen had more than ten thousand chances to kill Tion. Even so, he has been acting for two reasons.
The first was to find out the Emperor Amir Vermont whereabouts through Tion, if he still had a hotline with the Emperor.
The second was because there was a request from the client.
-Watch him for a few days, and if he shows any remorse, capture him alive and bring him back. As a family member, I will give him time to repent.
That didn't mean to spare Tion. It was just to be considerate so that he could die with a little bit of repentance.
Tion had just completely missed that opportunity.
“Na, nameless……!”
“Looks like you're really out of touch with Amir Vermont. I've been patient with the hope that our princess would be less troubled.”
“Now, wait. Wait, as long as I can get in touch with His Majesty, will it save me? If so, I will contact His Majesty immediately...….”
“Unfortunately, the carriage has left. And it only takes a little time to find him, but you will surely die anyway. With the best executioner of the nameless.”
Suk!
The dagger pierced Tion’s neck with smooth and swift action.
Tion Hairan died just as it was. The rest of the knights looked like they were trying to run away in a panic, not even thinking about fighting against Bizen.
However, when Bizen once again pulled the transparent thread installed in the air, they had no choice but to be mercilessly sliced away.
“Uh, ah!”
“Save me, save me!”
Before 10 seconds had passed, the rest of the knights died without exception.
Bizen completed his mission without a single drop of their blood on his body.

The same thing as Tion was happening in the main houses, villas, and secret shelters of the clans who were on the emperor's side during the first battle of the Sword Emperor castle war.
“Go, Acting patriarch! It seems that Dante Hairan has already started the purge. The family knights in the main house are being assassinated...!”
Harlow's Shelter.
They attacked Hairan by putting knights, including Scott Harlow, of the Central Knights in the imperial army.
Those who were killing the Harlows were also executioners of nameless. They were commissioned to kill all but a few of Harlow's finest knights.
“Puhh…… did this happen in the end. Yes, since you lost everything, you deserve to become a vengeful demon.”
The home of the Cenderer clan.
They also attacked Hairan with Gloria Cenderer of the Knights of the White Spear.
In that way, the Lilista clan, the Lilista magic squad, the Panga clan, and other clans that sided with the emperor's army were paying the price close to extinction.
The nameless executioner took their lives without hesitation.
“The world is truly unknown. Dante Hairan...… I heard that he turned into a demon during the war, but I didn't expect him to act so quickly.”
The second in command of the Hensirk clan said in a resigned voice. Standing in front of him was another nameless top executioner ‘Ahn’.
“You are mistaken.”
Ahn said in a dry voice and looked at Hensirk’s second in command.
“The person who commissioned us to kill you is not Dante Hairan.”
"What?"
“I’m just saying. I don’t need to tell you this in the first place, but I am afraid you will resent a upright person for no reason after you die.”
Ahn’s sword decapitated Hensirk’s second in command. The corpses of dead mages lined up behind him, but not a single drop of blood was left on the milky-white clothes.
Dante had no intention of killing them right away. Just as he intended to give Tion time to repent and die, he intended to give them a chance to die after contributing even a little to the stabilising the empire.
It was the imperial family, not Dante, who requested the annihilation of the family that was on the side of the emperor's army.
It is to cut off the tail to make a justification for receiving as little damage as possible. Those disgusting mystics valued their own well-being more than the stability of an empire tainted by chaos.
The imperial family sincerely had the perception that the empire could only return to normal when they were in good health. Even though they still have the power to do so.
Nameless is a neutral assassination sword.
Anyone from any faction could borrow the Nameless Sword, as long as they were qualified and paid a sufficient price.
If the umbrella called 'Ron Hairan' had continued to exist in the empire, Nameless would never have accepted the request from the imperial family. The reason why nameless accepted a request that could upset the balance of the empire was purely because there was no Ron.
Nameless did not accept all requests entrusted by the imperial family this time. They didn’t accept assassination request for only one clan among those who stood in the imperial army.
Nameless refused the imperial family's request to assassinate the remaining leaders of 'Perral'.
It wasn’t exactly a refusal, but because the requests “overlapped”. Nameless received the request to protect the Perral family from assassination for the time being before the imperial family's request.
-Kevin Perral was a piece of trash, but Sir Jonsina Perral eventually sided with the Imperial Army for the people. Even though that choice was ultimately wrong...… As a knight, as martial artist. I want to honor the life of Sir Jonsina. Please protect them from assassination for the time being.
That's how the Perral was able to preserve the clan from the sword of nameless.
And fortunately those who remained in the Perral clan, most resembled Jonsina Perral.

More than four days has been passed since the nameless best executioners found Emperor Amir Vermont hideout.
Amir Vermont is hiding in an unnamed forest in the south of Vermont, and there were no guards or escorts left by his side.
"Hello?"
Yona Runcandel.
The emperor raised his head and saw her talking with a bashful smile and was able to intuit.
In other words, death came to him in the end.
