The Birth of a True Hero
Episode 36 The emperor submits in front of the hero

When I entered the mansion, I saw my mother and grandmother looking very frightened. It seemed like they were both frightened to see Indra's form, but Karin and Ririna looked relaxed by sitting down while drinking her tea.

I who saw that was a bit upset that they didn't seem to want to help me explain about my contract and about my senses to my mother and grandmother.

But seeing my grandfather who looked lethargic and almost fainted made them undo his intentions asking further.

After a while, grandfather calmed down again and asked for my explanation about Indra and how I could contract with him.

After explaining everything they finally understood but still did not expect me to be able to subdue a majestic figure like the Frost Dragon.

"Grandfather still doesn't know what to say"

Then Karin put down the tea and went to talk.

"Well I understand grandfather's feelings because I also experienced them directly in the Selection Arena first"

"Selection arena.?"

"Well, Rui once summoned the Frost Dragon to face Eizan's dragon"

"Ohh, I've also heard rumors about it, but many consider it just a delusion from the academy's students"

"Yes, the eyewitness account of the incident was only a little because some of them fainted unconscious and some thought everything was just a dream because of the heavy shock"

My grandfather fell silent and shook his head at Karin's explanation. I who saw Grandpa's expression felt guilty because I added to the burden of my family's mind.

I turned to look at my mother, she looked so pale and worried to hear my story. I saw it trying to calm him down.

"What's the matter, mom?"

My mother turned to me and took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"There's nothing - what's Rui, it's just that I'm a little shocked to hear so many things I don't know about you"

Hearing that, I felt guilty for keeping so many things from my family.

"I'm sorry mom, I didn't mean to hide everything from you"

"I just don't want to add to the burden of your mind with my problems"

Hearing my words, my grandmother held my mother's shoulder and advised her.

"My daughter, your son is grown up, he knows what is right and wrong. If he has one or two things he can't talk to you about, that's normal. But as a child she will definitely need the affection of her mother"

"Then be the figure of a mother who became the home of children when they are tired because as good as anyone, surely in the eyes of his mother he will still want the love of his mother"

Hearing that, my mother calmed down from her worries.

"Thank you mom, I'm just worried about my kids"

"What's the matter, Grandpa?, why does your face look worried"

Hearing me ask, grandfather was silent for a moment and answered my question.

"Rui, how do we explain everything to the Emperor?"

"I mean grandpa?"

"About Duke's death by your Frost Dragon"

Hearing that, I just remembered that Indra killed Duke Nourman. I don't really care, but I don't seem to be with Grandpa.

"Well, we just have to tell the truth to the Emperor"

"Rui my grandson, the death of a Duke is not trivial, losing one of them is a great loss for the empire and of course you will be blamed for his death. Killing a Duke was a crime that could not be tolerated even if the one who killed him was the emperor"

Hearing that, I became a little worried because of the things I feared happening. Indeed killing them was not difficult, but it was not just damaging the balance of imperial power, killing a high-ranking noble would leave one stamped as an imperial traitor and all those with ties to him would be put to death for up to 3 generations afterwards.

Karin, Ririna and my mother became very worried about hearing that. Even my mother was planning her crazy ideas to escape the Empire to save me.

Then I stopped his intention and calmed my mother's worries. Then I told my grandfather to make a letter to the emperor and have the emperor come as fast as he could to our territory.

My grandfather was hesitant at first to ask the emperor to come to the place of a Count let alone to have him immediately was an insult and would be considered an act of evil.

My mother also became surprised to hear my request because she thought I was going to give myself up. But I kept urging my grandfather and he ended up sending his letter to the emperor.

The next day, the carriage carrying Risiya and her mother arrived at our residence. Karin and Ririna who saw the two of them immediately ran over and hugged them as they were very worried about Risiya's state.

Then I explained everything to my grandfather and mother. Hearing my explanation was like my grief grandfather welcomed them and would gladly accept the Risiya family.

Then 3 days after the letter was sent, the emperor had arrived at our residence. My grandparents and mother welcomed them and saluted them for their arrival.

My mother who turned to me was very surprised to see me not bowing and not paying respect to the emperor.

"Rui, what are you doing is getting down and members.."

My mother fell silent and could not continue with her words because she saw the emperor and his aide bow and salute me.

"Oh, nice to meet you again, Mr. Rui whom I respect"

"Yes I am also the emperor's majesty"

Seeing that, the maternal grandfather and everyone who saw that did not believe what they saw. But Ririna and Karin who saw that instead laughed at the dumbfounded people.

"Hahahah, instead of their expressions being funny" Ririna asked Karin who was next to her.

"But how could Rui be honored to such an extent by the emperor. I knew the emperor had met him at the academy but I didn't expect it to be like this. But after a long time with him something like this is not something that can surprise me" lamented karin saw the behavior of the emperor.
