The Emperor and Empress summoned the saintess to the palace for an urgent audience. It was extremely rare for a saintess to enter the palace. She rarely did so except on special occasions like major festivals or special occasions. However, when rumors of her sudden visit to the palace spread throughout the empire, everyone became anxious.
"What is it that has caused you to come in such a hurry, Saint?"
At the emperor's question, the saintess opened her mouth with a stern expression.
"There is a problem with the lake in the temple."
"What is that..."
"The lake is turning red, as if it's soaking in blood. I guess..."
"Something very big is going to happen in the empire..." Empress
"Rumors are spreading. It seems that all the people are trembling with anxiety." Saintess
I didn't know what to prepare for because I didn't know what would happen, and it was a complete sense of despair.
"Come to think of it... the Archmage emptied the magic tower, right?"
The emperor sighed and replied to the saintess's words. He disappeared, leaving only a short note.
"Why in this situation..."
The saintess thought for a moment and then opened her mouth again.
"Build up your military power."
"What does that mean...? Why would this peaceful empire need to further increase its military power..."
"We must be prepared for anything now. We never know when, where, or what might happen. Even if we are a peaceful nation, we cannot guarantee that another empire will not attack ours."
"...I see. I understand your will, Saintess. I will leave that matter to the Crown Prince."
"Understood. Your Majesty, please tell the wizards this. They will prepare their defenses. I will return to the temple and do my work."
" All right. "
.
.
.
.
"What does that mean?"
"They say there's a problem with the lake in the temple. If there's a problem in the lake that's never had any problems before... it means a great disaster is coming. There's an imperial order to build up military power because we don't know what will happen." Aide
"Whew... It's like adding insult to injury... Things are getting worse as the days go by... Go get Jeon Jungkook."
" yes. "
After a while, Jeon Jungkook came up.
"Your Majesty" Jeongguk
"You must have heard from your aide, right?"
" ...yes. "
"I don't know what will happen in the future. Maybe... there will really be a war."
"Absolutely not... Only war..."
"Our knights, who have never been to war, are bound to lose if war breaks out. So we must quickly begin all preparations."
" All right. "
"...You couldn't find the princess?"
" ...yes. "
"Okay, I'll go now."
The expression on Jeongguk's face was beyond words. His wounded, festering appearance tore at the very heart of anyone who saw him.

"Hoseok!"
"Come slowly. You'll fall over."
As soon as Ho-seok finished speaking, Se-ah stumbled over a rock and staggered.
Dub-suk -
"You really won't listen?"
Hoseok teleported and caught Sea.
"Oh... thank you..."
"Haha, what's going on that makes you run like that?"
"Look at this!"
Se-ah held a withered flower, carefully gathered her magic power, and showed something to Ho-seok.
"...That's...nonsense..."
"The dead flower came back to life!"
Hoseok stared at Se-ah. Se-ah blushed slightly and asked.
"Why are you looking at me like that...?"
"Just how great are you trying to be..."
" yes? "
As Hoseok grew stronger by the day and discovered new strengths, he began to worry more and more. Was it right to leave him like this?
"Maybe... you could become the second Archwitch."
"A great witch...?"
"Yes, if there is me, the magician and the archmage, then there is the archwitch for the witch. Of course, she is dead now. Originally, a witch could never die unless she was burned by fire."
Sea remembered the day she almost died.
Cremation...
"Well, since you're the only witch out there, you're probably already the Great Witch."
" ..... "
"Why are you so serious?"
"I'm just scared that I'm like this."
"Don't think like that. You're doing great."
Hoseok stroked Se-ah's head.
"I'll show you something pretty."
Hoseok took Sea and headed somewhere.
" and... "
"I'll take you down there later when the waves calm down."
" great! "
Hoseok quietly watched Se-ah as she admired the flowers. He just wanted Se-ah to be happy and quiet.
I wish it didn't hurt...

"What the hell is going on in the Empire?!"
"Well, if this continues, we'll all really die."
"It's clear that something is going on these days, not only with the saintess but also with the palace..."
"Watch your mouth. Your words can become seeds..."
"But aren't we a peaceful nation? There won't be any war."
"What are you talking about? There's a rumor going around these days that the palace is building up its military power!"
" what...? "
The people are increasingly anxious and fearful. Is war really breaking out in this empire?
