"FIRE!!!!"
In an instant, the palace was filled with commotion. Smoke rose from within the palace at dawn, and a blazing fire was visible.
"What the... at this hour of the morning!!"
Most of the court ladies were busy putting out the fire to prevent it from spreading. The knights, of course, and many others were now focused on the location of the fire.
"The Fujika Empire has invaded!!"
Another empire started a war.
Other empires overthrew ours in an instant. With our knights absent, it took a long time to prepare for war.
"Everyone, wake up!! Go to your respective seats!!"
Jeon Jungkook felt like his head was going to explode. Everyone was looking for him. It was his first time in war, so it was natural to be confused. But if this continued, he would be annihilated.
"If you want to live, face it with the determination to die!!"
The war I had hoped for had begun. Hell had begun.

Sea was growing increasingly bored with the monotonous routine. Honestly, there were people she wanted to see. She missed them so much. It felt like she was the only one running away, so her standards weren't very high.
I've also increased my strength with magic power. Thanks to Hoseok, I don't think my magic will ever run wild again.
Step by step -
Sea headed towards where Ho-seok was. However, Ho-seok's expression was not good, so Sea hurriedly approached him.
"Hoseok, what's wrong...?"
"...they say there's a war."
Thud -
My heart skipped a beat. I clearly remember it as a peaceful country. But war? I was taken aback.
War, I only learned about it in textbooks when I was in school. World War II, the Korean War, etc... I never experienced it, but I know it was terrible and something that should never happen.
" ..... "
Hoseok felt a complexion as he saw Sea's expression harden. He couldn't leave her alone. But he knew the Empire desperately needed his power. And he didn't want to take Sea there.
"Let's go."
" you... "
"There are precious people there. Please let me protect them..."
I wanted to ignore the desperate look in Sea's eyes. But I couldn't. Sea had a look on her face that made it seem like she was about to burst into tears.
"Let's make one promise before we go."
"What is it?"
"Just like you said, you only save the people you want to save. Only the precious people."
" of course. "
"Never get involved in anything else."
" ...all right. "
"Well... let's get ready to go to the Empire."
" yes...! "
.
.
.
.
"Your Majesty!! Those guys are already....!! "
"What about Jung Ho-seok?"
" ... I don't know.. "
"If this continues, it's really over..."
It was utter despair. We had no way of defeating an army that had been at war. Of course, the wizards were holding out as best they could, but their limits were beginning to show.
Right now, we desperately need Jeong Ho-seok's strength. Even at this very moment, countless people are dying.
"Where the hell is this kid..."
.
.
.
.
Sea changed into comfortable clothes. She also packed the things she thought she might need.
"Come to your senses."
Sea tied her hair up into a high ponytail. Then, she and Hoseok teleported to the Empire.
In about two months, I will set foot on the Empire's soil. To the place where they tried to kill me, where I almost died.
.

"Save me... Save me... Please!!!"
"Eww!!!"
Kwakwang - !!!
The buildings that had been painstakingly restored collapsed once again. Corpses littered the streets, and the stench of blood and gunpowder was so foul it was almost unbearable.
The screams continued unceasingly. Exhausted by the days-long battle, the barely able-bodied hold gradually faded.
" ha... "
He was exhausted, both physically and mentally. As the other knights began to collapse from exhaustion, Kim Taehyung began to lose his strength.
I held on tenaciously. But I'm human. Once I reached the threshold, even standing was too much of a struggle.
"Aren't you going to wake up?!
It was Jeon Jungkook. He looked exhausted. But he was strong. I couldn't tell how much he'd fought. But seeing his blood-soaked armor made me chuckle. I couldn't even tell whose blood it was. It was disgusting, but I didn't think much of it.
"Get up, kid."
"Wake up, if you don't want to die."
"Running away would be a better way to survive. We'll fight to the death."
"Shut up, if you don't want to die by my hands."
Sigh -
"Short story?"
"I'm alive till the end, so please treat me with respect again."
"You live your life lol"
"Haha... let's go."
" okay. "
They took up their swords again and went out to fight.
one side,
"Father, is Sea alive?"
Namjoon, covered in wounds, spoke in a weak voice.
"Of course. Se-ah is stronger than anyone else."
Seokjin decided to believe that. He hoped to escape this hellish place and live a good life.
"Did you have a good time, Yeoju?"
" yes... "
The heroine sent them to a safe place. This safe place was enchanted with powerful magic, so they were safe and unharmed. The problem was that it wasn't a place where many people could take refuge.
"Let's go, we can't be like this."
He stood up, sword in hand. He looked at the images of his family engraved on the back of his hand and vowed to himself that even if it meant death, he would never again lose his precious family.
Madam, please protect our family. Please...

Phew... It's war... โ
