Overgeared

Grid’s ceremonial clothing was very gorgeous. The new silver crown made ahead of the merger ceremony was different. It was very mysterious and beautiful, shining like it was moonlight. It was in harmony even with the maidens of the forest who appeared in the human world on a rare occasion. The eyes of those mesmerized by the beauty of the elves naturally turned to Grid.

Just as they thought that the gold robe that didn’t seem to touch the ground was moving slowly, Grid had already reached the throne.

“Your Majesty.” Lauel politely bowed his head. He held a large glass of wine carefully in both hands, like he was worried about it spilling.

Grid lightly grabbed the glass. His wide sleeves fluttered slightly, but the glass didn’t shake. There wasn’t even the slightest ripple in the transparent liquor filling the glass. It was a spectacle that spread on thousands of cameras. The eyes of the viewers became wide. They looked at Grid, who showed majesty even in his small actions, and recalled the gap between themselves and Grid.

Certainly, Grid was a figure of another world. The moment he held the glass, the noble empress came over and knelt down.

“Your subject, Basara—I pledge to give my body, heart, and soul to the new emperor. My immortal loyalty will support Your Majesty and Your Majesty’s descendants.”

It was the largest and most sacred event in the history of the continent. There shouldn’t be any mistakes, so there was naturally a script. However, Basara’s oath was different from the script. The oath of loyalty should’ve had the premise ‘as long as the emperor and imperial family don’t betray me,’ but it was changed to an unconditional oath.

“......”

Basara’s slender, long eyes slowly rose as she was raised by the flustered Grid. Her bewitching eyes first captured Grid’s appearance, followed by Piaro, who was standing behind Grid.

“Your subject, Basara, won’t doubt His Majesty and His Majesty’s loyal ministers.”

Flinch.

Piaro’s eyes twitched. The suspicions of the former emperor, Juander—it had irreversible consequences toward Piaro. It was the foreshadowing of the decline of the millennium empire. At this moment, Basara was insisting that such a thing wouldn’t happen in the future empire.

“I won’t be jealous.”

Basara’s gaze captured Asmophel’s appearance this time. A man who led the golden age of the empire along with Piaro. However, his current position was different from Piaro’s. He was even lower than Mercedes. He stood a long way back while these two people guarded Grid’s side. Nevertheless, he wasn’t jealous. He was devout because he already committed a painful sin once.

On the other hand, he silently affirmed Basara’s words that he should be taken as a negative textbook example.

Singuled, Amelda, and Dante, who suffered direct damage from Asmophel, looked at Asmophel. The sight caused a smile to spread on Basara’s face.

“I will give you a chance to make up for it even if I am betrayed. I will remember and prioritize today’s oath over the pain and anger of the moment. I will stand by Your Majesty’s side.”

Basara made a variation of the script rather than changing it. It was so those who would lead the new era together could sympathize and remember clearly. This intention was reliably conveyed to Grid.

“I won’t disappoint you.”

Was there a need for long words? Grid got rid of the lengthy speech carefully made by Lauel and Huroi. He also wanted to convey emotions, not reason.

“I exist for all of you. You just have to remember that.”

Existing for others? It was hard to believe. It was close to impossible. Yet even the viewers who were a third party knew that Grid’s words weren’t a pretense. If Grid was one of the common people living for himself, it wouldn’t match the actions he showed so far.

They didn’t know what he was like at the beginning, but it was undeniable that the current Grid fought for the Overgeared Guild, the Overgeared Kingdom, and many others. Even the reason for punishing hell was for others, not for himself. He wasn’t a hypocrite. It was hard to understand the reason, but at least in ‘this world,’ he was definitely a hero.

Everyone acknowledged it.
