'Violette why are you with those golems?

　At the emperor's words, the place fell silent.

　No, since at least ten of Taiki-sama's golems had appeared, it was only natural that no one would be able to move.

　But because of Violette's appearance, this one couldn't move either.

　Why would Violette have Taiki-sama's golems?

　No way Violette betrayed the Empire? Or is there some problem.........

　As I was thinking in my head, Violette landed in the audience room alone and walked towards the Emperor.

　Her gait was calm and graceful. Everyone who had been struggling just a moment ago stopped moving as Violette caught their gaze.

''Don't move, Violette.''

　But the Emperor was different.

''Yes, Your Majesty.

　At the emperor's words, Violette stopped moving with a snap. The emperor watched the scene with narrowed eyes.

'Turn your back to me and take off your clothes.

"Huh?

　I couldn't help but let out a strange sound at the out-of-place instructions.

　However, the place remained tense, and everyone kept their eyes on Violette.

''Yes, Your Majesty,''

　Even Violette, the person in question, smiled even thinly at the mysterious instructions and turned her back to the emperor.

　Without hesitation, she smoothly undresses herself.

　While I was bewildered by the feeling that I was seeing something I shouldn't be, Violette had turned into a stark naked figure.

　And what appeared was a stunning naked body and a slave mark on her back. The slave mark looked like the same one that was on Aifa's back.

''Well the slave seal is still there.

　The old sorcerer nodded as the emperor uttered a few words.

''Yes, I thought the flow of magic power would be no different.

　Hearing the reply, the Emperor nodded deeply.

'Then you may come this way.

　With that said, Violette put on her robe and started walking again.

　The soldiers and sorcerers who had been watching the exchange between the emperor and the sorcerer looked around at Violette and Taiki-sama's golems surrounding her with a relieved look on their faces.

　On the contrary, it creates a sense of unease on my chest, as if there is a heavy stone on my chest. Would that sorcerer with unimaginable skill be hit by Violette, even if he was taken by surprise?

　Although I think that's ridiculous, I still can't get rid of my anxiety. If you look to the side, Yuri also seems to have a hard expression on his face. It's not just us, Maia and the others are also unable to move, so they must be feeling the same way.

　This is bad. If Taiki-sama's golem turns against you, there is no way you can win at all.

Report.

　Before I could break out into a cold sweat, Violette had moved in front of the Emperor and was kneeling quietly.

　Violette keeps her head bowed and reports to the emperor.

'Aifa and I have reached the land of the sky and had an audience with our king, Taiki. The technology we saw there was out of the ordinary, and it seems that Aifa decided that if she could borrow its power, she could take the elves away from His Majesty.

"...So the King of the Sky is assisting Aifa and not Schwartz? But that doesn't give us an idea of what he's up to. There must be something more to it. Normally, it would be logical to try to deal with the Empire itself.

　The emperor mumbles and drops his gaze as if he's thinking about it.

''Well a few things come to mind, but none of them are decisive. Then the more material to negotiate with, the better.

　With that, the Emperor turned his gaze to Schwartz and the others, and the soldiers began to move in a hurry.

　Schwartz and Fiatola, who had been caught by surprise, were immediately captured and crushed to the ground.

''Guh!''

　A muffled voice rang out, and finally even Schwartz and Fiatola fell into the hands of the Emperor.

　It was impossible to move now that the swords had been put to the necks of the three men. That's exactly what we must do, we must abandon the lives of the hostages.

　The situation is getting worse by the minute, but I don't even know what to do.

''Well, now we've seized the elves and the two banners of the revolution. The rest won't even be a problem if Violette can move that golem, either.

'Your Majesty is right. Well, then, I'll show you how to control the Golem.

　Responding to the emperor's words as if to confirm them, Violette stood up and raised one hand. Then, she beckons the golems with her palm facing upwards.




[Taiki]

　I saw Violette beckoning to us on the screen.

　I wondered what I would do when she suddenly stripped off her clothes, but after discovering the slave's pattern on her back, I think I was able to cool down on the contrary.

　I'd like to be stunned by the rapid development after rapid development, but I can't even dwell on it here.

　I chose the robot that Violette was beckoning me to, and moved it forward.

''........General Violette can't disobey the Emperor, can she?''

　Eira, who had fallen silent after looking at the slave mark on Violette's back, muttered.

''It's okay. Violette-san doesn't have the authority to give instructions. If you have to give some kind of instruction, the right to give orders is given top priority by Maea in the field. I won't move.''

　After announcing this, I open my mouth again.

'More importantly, why would you call me over when you should know I won't listen to you... well, I guess I know something about it. What if I'm wrong?

　As I was controlling the robot with a bitter smile, Eira looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

''........I'm going to pretend that I'm moving Taiki-sama's golem and call it to the emperor's side. That means.........

'Violette also decided to drag the emperor down here...?

　He answered that as he took over Eira's words and felt something strange.

　If Violette was willing to do that, why was she acting like that?

　Her actions until now should have been clearly on the side of the Empire.

　Is that why she suddenly decided to betray the Empire here?

''Something isn't right... but this is the only way to help Aifa and the others, isn't it?

　With that uttered, I instructed the robot to capture the emperor.
