Dante commissioned nameless to assassinate the emperor and bring his head.

 

He wanted to capture emperor alive if possible, but Owal assigned Yona as the assassin to kill the Emperor.

 

Owal knew that no assassin could find and kill emperor faster than her, because he was concerned that the imperial family would first secure the emperor's recruits before the nameless sword could reach him.

 

This was the reason Owal refused to capture emperor alive. Yona has an assassination ability that surpasses even himself, but she was unable to control it.

 

There is no way that she will let emperor live after seeing him in person. The Emperor's attack on Hairan was not only a threat to the empire, but also to her younger brother, Jin, whom Yona cherished more than anything else in the world.

 

Unfortunately Dante had no choice but to accept the condition for the same reasons as Owal.

 

No matter how much resentment Dante had, he was not a person with the temper to capture and torture the emperor anyway.

 

So Dante had to secure the emperor's neck by the surest and fastest means, and hang it in the plaza to announce that the empire was out of emperor rule.

 

But, contrary to everyone's expectations.

 

Yona brought the emperor alive with a bright smile on her face. In the second castle of Hairan, the imperial capital, where Jin and Dante are waiting.

 

“Hey, the youngest. You have no idea how much I wanted to kill this skinny chunk of meat.”

 

The most surprised by that was Owal. Seeing Yona dragging the stunned emperor like a piece of luggage, Owal almost dropped his cigarette.

 

“Oh, Yona…… How did you think of bringing him alive?”

 

“I think the youngest would want to take care of this more than me, hee hee. Did I do well?”

 

As Yona lightly tossed the emperor in front of them, Owal narrowed his brows anxiously.

 

“Are you okay?”

 

After the chaos of Glyek overtook human world.

 

The chaos of Yona, which she had recently been able to control, had once again begun to haunt her as before.

 

It was because Yona’s chaos was reacting to chaos of Glyek, the source of that dark power.

 

Owal knew that, and he's here to talk to Jin about it.

 

“I’m still fine so far, hehe. I don't kill anyone you see? And if the youngest likes it, I can tolerate it a little!”

 

Yon’s face was pale when she said she was fine. It was never easy to suppress the murderous intent that chaos was forcibly amplifying.

 

She was born as a executioner, stained with chaos from birth, but her essence is made up of a kind and pure energy that is not like Runcandel.

 

As a reserve flagbearer, Jin first recognized Yona's inner side, and thanks to that, she was able to control her chaos, and she is still enduring even when it became unstable again.

 

“I will not entrust you with capture missions from now on.”

 

“Thank you, elder sister. Still, I hope you always prioritize your condition from now on.”

 

“My youngest worries about me.”

 

"Of course."

 

“Hee hee, good, good. Then, I need to take a break. I'll be fine by tomorrow evening, so I’m just waiting for the youngest. Let’s hangout!"

 

"Of course."

 

Owal touched his forehead as Yona went out of window and disappeared somewhere. Jin’s expression darkened. It was because there were words they had shared before Yona came.

 

“Lord Owal, was it really that bad?”

 

"Yes. At the time that Glyek woke up, she had a seizure and ran out of control. There were no casualties because I and all the best executioners were nearby, but if we hadn't been...… I hate to imagine.”

 

Jin focused his attention on Owal's face and the scars on his hands. It was a wound caused while overpowering Yona, who ran out of control.

 

'Are you saying that Lord Owal get hurt even though 10 best executioners were there?'

 

Jin never thought that Glyek's awakening would lead to Yona’s rampage.

 

‘At the time, Lady Amela and the Porch siblings also showed signs of having seizures because of Glyek’s energy. But my sister went on a rampage even though she was so far away from the battlefield.'

 

There is still not much known about chaos in the world. All they know is that the kings of chaos were created due to the mistakes of the gods, orb of origin, and who experienced Glyek directly knew that they could never stand against them without the power of genesis knight.

 

Still, Jin was able to infer the connection between the situation.

 

“Right now, the remnants of Glyek are not causing the same reaction as elder sister Yona to all those who are infected with chaos.”

 

Amela and Proch siblings seizures subsided shortly after the Vamel Alliance escaped the battlefield with Runcandel’s help.

 

Now that only the remnants of the Glyek are left, it is no different from before the incident.

 

“So you mean this is a phenomenon that only happens to those who are infected with a certain level of chaos, right?”

 

“I think so. Have you ever seen the true nature of the chaos that elder sister Yona has?”

 

"I saw it."

 

“Lady Amela is infected with chaos. Elder Sister Yona found out about this and came to subdue Lady Amela's chaos, but the difference between my sister and Lady Amela's chaos was so great that it couldn't even be compared.”

 

Then Jin pointed to the documents lying on the table.

 

“And in addition to elder sister Yona, these documents summarise the cases of demonization and rampages. The informants and journalists of the Vamel Alliance have found that similar things are happening all over the world.”

 

However, among those who lost control, no one showed as strong a force as Yona. Of course, they also needed at least seven or eight-star knights and mages to suppress them, but it was not comparable to Yona.

 

If the reaction to Glyek's energy really depends on the size of the chaos, then it means that Yona’s chaos is on a different level from them.

 

“Ha.”

 

Owal sighed in frustration.

 

As of now, there is no means to prevent the lost control phenomenon of the chaos infected.

 

And Owal regarded Yona more than his successor and cherished her sincerely.

 

Jin was frustrated as well.

 

“I will continue to find out the reasons.”

 

“As soon as nameless finds out any related information about it, I will share it with the Vamel Alliance.”

 

Owal was now treating Jin as the commander-in-chief of the Vamel Alliance, not just the flagbearer of Runcandel. It wasn't just because he personally held Jin in high regard and was grateful for Yona.

 

Since the world’s power landscape has changed due to the sword emperor castle war, Nameless may not have much time left to remain neutral now.

 

“Anyway, I'm going to go watch Yona for now. With this, all of the requests have been completed. Jin, and Dante Hairan.”

 

Dante kept his eyes fixed on the fallen emperor as they talked.

 

“Yes, Sir Owl. Additional compensation for the capture will be paid as soon as you inform....”

 

Owal shook his head at Dante's words.

 

“You don’t have to. After all, aren't our nameless indebted to Sir Ron? Besides, I was in debt to Sir Ron in my youth.”

 

Owal pulled out a single artificial flower from his bosom.

 

"I can't offer it to Sir Ron's light at the Sword emperor castle, so if a temporary memorial stone is built in the empire, please put it up to Sir Ron instead of me.”

 

When Owal leaved, Jin and Dante looked down at the emperor. They could see what kind of life he had been leading in his torn clothes, his ghastly appearance, and his lean body while on run.

 

“It looks like he hasn’t received any protection from the imperial family.”

 

Dante nodded at Jin's words.

 

The two did not know that the reason why the imperial family did not protect the emperor was not only because of 'public sentiment'. It meant that the emperor no longer had the most important member of the imperial family, including the 'Majins'.

 

[T/L :- 마인(魔人) - majin. These are the golems made by imperial family.]

 

“At noon, I will inform the people about my regency.”

 

Slap, slap!

 

Dante slapped the Emperor and lifts him up.

 

“Kuh, ugh!”

 

“Rebellion criminal Amir Vermont.”

 

“What, Dante Hairan?”

 

“In two hours, you will be standing in the Imperial Palace Plaza, where you incited Hairan to be a traitor. Your life and death will be decided there.”

 

As if the emperor had already let go of his lingering feelings, he didn't look too panicked. He knew that the imperial family had abandoned him.

 

In addition, even Zipfel broke its promise with him during the first battle, so he really had no foundation left.

 

“Puhh…… Are you going to publicly execute emperor and proclaim that the time of Hairan has come? Are you going to cut my throat with that sword?”

 

"No, it's not Hairan's vengeance that kills you....”

 

Charak! Dante pulled back the curtains and opened the central window, revealing a cloud-like crowd in the distance.

 

People were shouting. Hurry up and bring Amir Vermont to death. Otherwise, it was poised to cause a riot at any moment.

 

“It is the public sentiment of the empire.”

 

The calm emperor's eyes suddenly darkened and shook.

 

What Amir Vermont feared was not death or torture. It wasn't the fear abandoned by the imperial family, nor losing his position as emperor.

 

It was the voice of the people's resentment. Even though he didn't know.

 

Amir Vermont was a cruel and monstrous figure, but he sincerely loved the people of empire as an emperor.

 

-Anyway, they don't have the strength to stop me, and they don't have the will to do so. They likes Hairan more than me, but they don't really risk their life. I find the foolishness and irritation of the public so cute and lovely.

 

Words spoken to Alton Hairan in the Imperial Palace Square right before the Sword Emperor castle war.

 

Unlike then, the people of today were determined to kill the emperor, even if they were willing to die.

 

This sight was destroying the inner side of the emperor, which was made up of arrogance, self-righteousness, and pride. He was not yet ready to part with the people. A pitiful man who had spent his entire life living in a false unrequited love was about to die at their hands.

 

It was more painful for Amir Vermont to realize that he had finally realized it than to face death after being deprived of the throne.

 

Two hours later.

 

The emperor, who was thrown into the square, was stoned by the people until nothing remained of him.

 

The people cursed without leaving their position even after what remained on the land where emperor stood was stains of blood, flesh, and bones.
