Whether who started it, the matter of the contract between the unknown shepherd girl and the legendary Holy Sword quickly spread throughout the land.
After successfully saving Aelric's village, more and more people came to Areishia and asked for her help.
With her kind hearted personality, Areishia did not resist and help those who came.
Since there were 'almost' no Elementalists in this era, the people had to endure the calamities inflicted by the Rebel Spirit.
Thus, Areishia began to use the power given by the Sword Spirit to bring peace to the world, by calming, or defeating the Rebel Spirit.
People praised his efforts, and gave him the name <>.
On the other hand, Ars who always accompanied Arenishia, always got hostile gazes from everyone because it displayed various magical powers.
He is considered the second male Elementalist in history other than Solomon.
The main reason why everyone hated it, was none other than because Solomon invaded all countries by controlling 72 Spirits, which gave the title <>.
Since they could do nothing to Demon King Solomon, they vented their hatred for Ars. Not until there, they had repeatedly incited Areishia to expel Ars, but their efforts always failed.
In one of the luxurious rooms of the Nefescal Palace in the Ordesian Empire.
Ars sat by the window, looking at the moon that lit up the night sky.
"It's been four months, huh... Those disgusting noble ladies are really working hard, they are trying to ruin my image in Areishia's eyes. This is why I don't like feudal-era nobles."
Opening the [Storage Magic], he took out a pack of cigarettes, burned the tip, and sucked it.
Within four months, Ars recovered 1% of his power. He was lucky enough to unlock the [Storage Magic] ability.
"Huu... Let's go meet Areishia. I haven't seen him since I arrived at the palace."
Cigarette dead, Ars changed into formal clothes.
The reason he and Areishia were in the Nefescal Palace, the Ordesian Empire specifically invited Areishia to eradicate the Rebel Spirit.
Not only the Ordinary Empire, but the Holy Kingdom of Lugia, the Dracunia Empire, the Quina Empire, and other small countries had applied to Areishia to visit their countries.
Basically, Ars and Areishia were very busy and only had free time to relax.
Regardless of how tired or unhappy she was, Areishia would always smile to encourage others.
"Haaa... Areishia was too kind, she obviously knew herself to be taken advantage of, but she still fought for the sake of the people."
I don't know how many times Ars breathed. She felt Areishia was too innocent and naive.
After changing into formal clothes in the form of black suits and black pants, Ars tidied his hair in front of a mirror.
From the open window, a shadow approached without making a sound, then from within the shadow appeared a young girl whose appearance was hidden by a black robe and mask.
Standing behind Ars, the girl held a dagger and unhesitatingly stabbed into the neck of her target.
*Ting*
However, what happened next was not the bloody scene that the girl expected, instead the dagger in her hand was broken.
"Ugh."
Before the girl continued the other attack, her neck was held tightly by Ars's hand.
"This is the 100th killer... Aren't you guys tired of sending killers on and on? To be honest, I'm bored." Ars looked at the girl in front of him without sympathy.
This is not the first time he has faced attempted murder. In fact, since the name Areishia is widespread, almost every day Ars there will be a killer who targets his life.
Areishia's strength was too mesmerizing that there were some who envied her, who hated her, and even those who came into contact with her only for fame and glory.
If it wasn't for Ars always by her side and guarding her, the female royals would have further drained Areishia's value.
"Ugh—."
The girl struggled and tried to free herself. Unfortunately, it's useless. He was getting more and more difficult to breathe and his body was gradually limp.
"Let's see who sent you."
Ars shook the Sharingan hypnotist at the girl, then interrogated her. However, he did not obtain any useful information.
The girl did not know the identity of their client.
*Crack*
Feeling the killer girl was no longer useful, Ars broke her neck and ended her life quickly
Then he used [Hinokagutsuchi] to burn the girl's corpse without leaving any residue.
Opening the door of the room, the two female knights standing guard in front were instantly on guard. Even their hands had been holding the sword hilt and were preparing to pull it at any moment.
Ars is used to the biased behavior of the women in the world towards him.
"Where are you going?" Ask one of the female knights.
"I want to see Areishia."
"The "Holy Queen was currently attending a banquet with members of the imperial family. Banquet does not allow men to attend, please return to the room."
"If I don't want to, then what?"
Ars' body exuded a momentum that pressured the two female knights to their knees on the ground.
"Just because men's social status is low, don't equate me with them."
Leaving behind an intimidating word, Ars walked forward.
After her figure disappeared, the two female knights finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Very scary..."
"With such power, it's no wonder he's called the Next Generation Demon King."
The two female knights looked at each other.
Ars also has his own nickname, which is <>.
The nobles were worried that he would become the next Demon King after Demon King Solomon was defeated by Areishia. That jam, he had also repeatedly prevented them from utilizing Areishia for their personal gain.
After failing to brainwash Areishia into hating Ars, they decide to send a hitman to eliminate him. However, it was the assassins who met their end.
...
It was night.
There were already many honorary guests gathered who had a friendly conversation in the great hall of Nefescal Palace.
There was elegant music flowing, and chandeliers lavishly arranged with crystals as decorations.
Fancy seafood, meat, and fruits were laid out on a table lined up in the middle.
Those invited to the ceremony were Elementalists representing various countries and high nobles as well as nobles.
And as the main star of the banquet, Areishia was surrounded by nobles who tried to flatter her.
"Holy Queen, thanks to your hard work, people live well without the Rebel Spirit."
"Now that the Rebel Spirit has begun to diminish, it's all because of you, Holy Queen."
"The only thing left is the invasion of the Demon King. But as long as the Holy Queen intervenes, it's no big deal."
This group of nobles did not give Areishia a chance to leave and continued to praise her.
"Holy Queen, don't trust 'that man' too much'. He could be the next Demon King. Better lock him up in jail or kill him before he causes trouble."
It was spoken by a blonde woman with drill-like hair and held a fan in front of her face.
"Miss Oliver Laurenfrost is right. The Holy Queen must be wary of the man, whether she will betray you."
"Why are Elementalists always female? That was because if it were men, they would wreak havoc in the world. For example, Demon King Solomon.”
"That man must have had the hidden intention of approaching the Holy Queen, he must be killed!"
The man the noble women talk about is none other than Ars. They kept trying to make Areishia think badly of Ars.
"Thank you for all your concerns, Ars' brother is not that kind of person. Let's stop this topic." Areishia forced a smile.
The more he heard them slandering Ars, the more uncomfortable he became. Despite all this, Areishia still responded to their chatter.
