Afterwards, Albert and Albexus finally opened their mouths and began to tell me about how they had both survived after being presumed dead by everyone.
Apparently, it was Leon who had been acting behind the scenes to save them. Just as Ethanus' Emperor's army was about to finish off Albexus, so Damian was going to finish off Albert, Leon uses his trickery to exchange their bodies for other similar bodies through the sorcery of an object that Leon mastered after becoming Isis's servant.
Albert and Albexus had been hesitating to talk about it to me because they wanted to protect the identity of Leon who was then still a stooge of the devil under the name Noel Dumberman.
But ever since Leon's identity was finally discovered by me, there was no reason for them to hide it.
Hearing him I felt relieved.
Leon never once escaped the path of truth despite being bound by the devil's entanglement.
But nevertheless, the,
“With that power, why didn't you save Tius and Ilene?”
“Ah, sorry, Leon. Let's just say I never said anything.”
“With you being here only, I've been very happy, my sister.”
I let go of revealing my heart that I didn't deserve to say to Leon.
After all, it was my carelessness that Sister Tius and Ilene died.
To place that responsibility on Leon who at that time also had to hide his intentions by betting his life against the Demon King and Isis, wasn't I really shameless?
“No, Brother. Brother deserves to blame me kok.”
“If I had watched them too, I would have been able to save them.”
“Unfortunately all this time I just focused on watching Big Brother and the other chosen ones so it was too late as I also received news about the death of Brother Tius and Ilene.”
“No, Leon! How could it be your fault?”
Leon smiled at me.
And as if this voice was silent, I could say nothing more.
Just as I blame myself, so must Leon feel when he learns of the news of his siblings' deaths.
After all, there was no point in talking about this now since Sister Tius and Ilene had long since rested quietly in nature there.
That morning, we began to hold a brief meeting on the defense preparations against the attack of the demons in the west.
I immediately announced officially the news of Leon, the prince of the Meglovia Empire, who was still alive to the public.
I immediately installed Leon as the exclusive military leader of the empire in preparation for the war by coordinating with Uncle Alcus von Maxwell as the official military leader of the empire.
Doctor Minerva paused all his research and was willing to accept the post of head of the magic forces for a while in preparation for the war.
Albexus with a new identity because it intends to hide his identity until the end I placed in the ranks of the sacred temple troops who will have a very large role both in the front row and in the rearguard troops with the ability their holy magic, especially recovery magic.
“Albert, is this not a problem for you?”
“This is the best, Master, since I was declared dead.”
“But at least Allios should know that his father is still alive.”
“What's the point of that again when I can't be a good father to him.”
“Being a good father or not isn't you who can decide, but Allios, Albert!”
However, Albert suddenly bent his knees while burying his head on both knees.
The big baby suddenly cried.
“I just don't know how to be a good father to him. I had only been tormenting her for the reason of Lilia's death when she had nothing to do with her. I was just being a cruel father figure to Allios. For whatever reason Allios wanted a father like that.”
I patted Albert's shoulder gently as I said.
“Then be a good father to him from now on, Albert. Mumpung you have been given a second chance for it.”
But in the end, Albert still insisted to hide his true identity. However, he chose to continue to meet Allios even with another identity, namely as a prospective sword teacher.
Surely there will be many who suspect why also the child who is less than five years old has got a sword teacher, but Albert is obviously happy with it, it is enough for me.
There's no urgency for me to hide Albert's identity.
Everything was only for Albert's convenience.

The preparations for the war against the Demon King and the demons grew more intense as the promised time approached.
However there were still problems left behind in the Asium Continent.
If left unchecked, they would definitely use our busy chances of facing the demons by attacking behind us.
I have to tear down those two countries that are at the center of all this.
No, exactly their two leaders.
Prime Minister Han Xinqiang of the Tong Kong Empire and President Ishida Yamamoto and the Republic of Joumun.
First of all, let's start from Prime Minister Han Xinqiang first.
It's not hard to drop it.
His involvement with Isis, the witch who can no longer be denied as a follower of the Demon King will be very concrete evidence to convince the residents of his country that he is among the minions of the Demon King.
I don't have to intervene on my own.
Since Prime Minister Han Xinqiang has many political enemies in his own country, let those enemies perpetuate my plan to bring him down.
“Send this to Emperor Mio Long, then watch his movements how he uses it.”
After handing over the files to my secret army, I continued my morning walks making the best use of the rest of this time of peace.
“Ah, Your Majesty, salute the servant to the brightest shine in the entire Meglovia Empire, His Majesty the Emperor Helios sun Meglovia.”
I suddenly crossed paths with him and then gave me a respectful greeting that frankly made me a little uncomfortable when done outside, especially if done by people I know.
“Ah, no need to be that formal anyway, Kerrie. Build.”
“As per his majesty command.”
A really awkward meeting especially when I have not seen it for a long time.
“How are things at the clinic? Everything is smooth, right?”
“Yes, that is, Your Majesty. Everything is thanks to your policy so that Doctor Venia is increasingly helped in the clinic.”
“Thank God then. But why are you here so early in the morning?”
“I just visited the gravestones of my dead comrades, Your Grace, especially now they are added two other newly joined colleagues, Snake and Rooster.”
A sad look on Kerrie's face while saying that.
Come to think of it, then, the deaths of Codi (Snake) and Hestia (Rooster) are all my faults that at that time revealed Leon's whereabouts to them 3 years ago in the monster forest region on the border of Tarz City.
If they had never known where Leon was, they would have never investigated him from the beginning so they would still be alive today.
But because of their merits, now I finally meet my brother, Leon, that.
They had carried out their duties as Leon's bodyguards to the very end.
I can only appreciate their services.
Kerrie then lowered her head slowly to me before finally going to the end of the road until she was no longer seen.
I am currently in the city of Painfinn.
There is no other purpose than to prepare the monsters in the monster forest region as one of the weapons to face the invasion of the demon nation that will come soon.
Besides, the,
“You are coming again, the chosen one.”
Although I came to the city of Painfinn, but the one who came to greet me this time was not Milanda, but Arxena.
“Please his help once again for today, Mr. Arxena.”
“I will not hesitate to be rude to you during your training, so get ready.”
“By pleasure, Mr. Arxena.”
Just as the others were training to improve their abilities ahead of the great war in plain sight, I was the same.
I used the best possible time to improve my fighting skills under the direction of one of the first hero party members, the conqueror of Arxena.
