After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

If used properly, Aize can even have the strength to directly confront heroes and leader-level enemies.

Study it carefully later.

"Well, I'm off to find Sheen. See you later."

"Yeah, okay... Oh, by the way, give me the sword, I'll adjust it."

"Ok."

After taking off his sword and handing it to Villian, Aize strode away quickly.

Violet drew her sword, raised her hand, and used a spell to inspect the interior of the vessel after the battle to see if there was any damage.

This sight made Miss Witch frown:

"...There's something wrong with the strengthening spell module... It wasn't damaged in battle, but it just didn't work properly from the start? That doesn't make sense. Then why did Aize become stronger just now?"

Chapter 15 Trouble

In the more than one month since Aize left, Tafia has completely completed its reconstruction work, and the original martial law has also been lifted.

The streets have thus completely regained their former bustle.

The caravans coming and going, as well as the mountain people from nearby villages who came to sell goods, filled the entire commercial street. The sounds of hawking, bargaining, chatting, etc. could be heard clearly from a long distance away.

If Wang Du hadn't stolen the limelight, it would probably be even more lively right now.

Aize really likes this kind of atmosphere. He feels that his hard work and fighting are worth it.

If possible, he really wanted to walk through it and experience and feel it.

Unfortunately, time does not permit.

The empire's expedition is about to begin, and he must arrange things here as quickly as possible and then rush to the front line.

To this end, he stopped briefly at the entrance of the commercial street, then turned around and walked straight towards the lord's mansion in the aristocratic district.

Relying on his prestige and face in the city, as well as the order of the lord, Sheen himself, the guards at the gate didn't even let Aize wait outside, but welcomed him in directly.

At this time, Sheen was working in his study.

"...Brother? You're back so soon?"

Looking at Aize who had returned early and came to visit him unexpectedly, he raised his head and stopped writing.

"Yes, there are some emergencies to deal with."

Aize walked in calmly, came to the table, and looked at the various papers piled up like a small mountain.

"are you busy?"

"Yes, I'm very busy. Because some people have caused a big stir. After getting promoted and making a fortune, they disappeared. As a result, all kinds of flattering letters, requests for favors, and inquiries have all landed in my head. How can I not be busy?"

Xien raised his eyebrows and said this sarcastically.

The someone mentioned is of course Aize.

Because of the Royal Capital Incident, he was given a series of titles including Regent, which made him an objective power in the kingdom regardless of his own thoughts.

It coincided with the death of Duke Auchinleck, the decline of his family, and the reshuffle of various forces in the kingdom. Naturally, a lot of people came to establish relationships with Azra.

Aize had mentioned this matter to Villian before when they were still at the lake.

Avoiding these snobby sycophants was one of the reasons why he went on vacation instead of returning to Tafea.

I thought that since these guys couldn't find me, they would be able to leave.

I didn't expect him to be so persistent that he put all the pressure on Sheen.

Aize casually flipped through the unusually delicate and gorgeous envelopes on the desk and shook his head helplessly:

"...So exaggerated?"

"Isn't that exaggerated? Over ten people a day. I'm almost exhausted just replying to all the letters. And that's still the best. There are also people who come directly with gifts, and some even come to discuss marriage!"

As he spoke, Sheen raised his hand and pointed to one side of the room:

"Right now, in the guest room over there, there are several emissaries sent by Viscount Patrick, who want to marry his beautiful daughter to you. I haven't had time to receive them yet. So, are you interested?"

Aize pulled over a chair, sat down heavily on it, and casually tilted his head back, then waved his hand in disgust.

"Forget it. I've met her daughter. She's actually pretty good-looking, but her personality is incredibly bad. Have you ever seen a real-life, overly-young-daughter type character who laughs and speaks in a shrill voice? And she's a gold-powered drill, too. What a stereotype..."

“…Electric drill?”

Sheen blinked, not quite understanding what he meant.

But he didn't care much about it. He just shrugged his shoulders and lowered his head to continue writing the letter.

By the way, he smiled and said:

"So, big brother, are you saying that having a good personality is no problem? That's not entirely impossible. Someone of a high status might be a little more troublesome. Viscounts and barons aren't hard to find, though. Do you want me to help you find one?"

"whispering sound--"

Aize sneered disdainfully.

If I had paid a little more attention to this aspect, would it be the turn of these guys to propose marriage to me now?

It's already...

Forget it, it’s annoying just thinking about it.

Let’s get down to business.

"I'll only be in Tafea for one day this time. I have to leave early tomorrow morning. Please help me deal with these things. If you really can't handle it, just read it and don't reply. That's fine."

"Tomorrow? So urgent?"

"Well, because it will take several days to get to the Empire, and we really can't wait any longer."

"empire?"

"Yeah, Empire."

Aize briefly introduced the news related to the Imperial Expedition.

The content related to Rosaline was not mentioned because the situation was unclear and too horrifying.

It doesn't matter whether Sheen knows it or not.

"The Empire's expedition..."

Xien bit his pen, raised his head, and smiled bitterly:

"You're truly incredible! You just saved the capital and prevented civil war, and now you're rushing to the Empire again?"

"It's always been like this. The past two months of travel have been a vacation for me."

The year he was summoned as a hero, the battle was far more intense than it is now. The fierce invasion of the demons was almost one wave after another, and the battle line was in crisis everywhere.

In contrast, the only available brave team is the Blade of the Goddess, and the size of the church's holy war knights is far from reaching its current level.

The result was that Aize rushed around like a fire captain, going through every part of the battle line from south to north and beating up almost every demon force.

Sometimes, we are too busy to make plans for other battlefields while being on one battlefield.

I almost died of exhaustion in the military tent.

Thanks to these efforts, the invasion of the demons was finally slowed down.

Later, with the arrival of more and more brave teams and the reconstruction of the armies of various human countries, the current stalemate situation finally came into being.

Therefore, almost everyone in this world, whether human or demon, knows the name of the brave Aize.

This is what happened next.

Of course, it's all in the past.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. The plan we made before we left last time has basically been completed, right?"

"Yeah, except for the academy."

Sean stood up, took out a stack of documents from the bookshelf beside him, and placed them in front of Aize.

"The facilities and venue are ready, the teaching materials you provided earlier have been completed, and the list of potential students has been screened. It's all here. But the most important thing is that if you two don't come, none of this will be of any use."

The academy is divided into two parts: military command and magic. At the beginning, Aize and Villian must be present in person to take on teaching tasks.

Therefore, it has been shelved, and the original military expansion plan has also been postponed.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Aize glanced through the list, and after making sure there was nothing wrong, he threw it aside.

"Let's wait a little longer. The capital should be sending a few students soon. It's a good opportunity to start the class together with them. This will save me from having to tutor them separately."

"The royal capital? Hmm...Okay, I get it."

Sean was a smart man and quickly understood the meaning, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After experiencing the tragic losses in the Royal Capital Incident, Heidi realized that the military force she had was far from enough to defend the Royal Capital or to check and balance the nobles.

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity when the army suffered heavy losses and needed to rebuild, she proposed to send several subordinates to Aize to learn and serve as the backbone of rebuilding the army in the future.

Now, the royal family represented by Heidi has in fact formed an alliance with Aize.

Therefore, if they are stronger, the pressure on Aize will be less.

This is a truly mutually beneficial and win-win situation, so there is naturally no reason to refuse. Aize agreed very straightforwardly.

Once the situation in the capital stabilizes, the other party will probably send people to Tafia.

By that time, things in the empire should have been concluded, and classes would have started just in time.

"And then? Do you have any other plans while you're away?"

"As for the arrangements... I'm only bringing Chris this time. Everyone else will stay in Tafia. Military matters can continue to be left to them. As for territory management... now that reconstruction is complete, we should shift our focus to development, for example..."

We spent some time briefly discussing the next development plan.

Including further land reclamation, tax reductions, work-for-relief for refugees, etc.

Sheen is an expert in this area, so he knows what to do without any explanation.

It took about two hours to complete the plan.

Aize then stood up:

"Then it's settled. During my absence, I'll trouble you with everything here and with those nobles. Thank you."

"No problem, leave it to me."

Sheen nodded.

"Brother, do you have any plans for the future? If not, would you like to stay for lunch? It's a rare opportunity to return to Tafia, and as a lord, it would be quite rude of me to refuse any hospitality. Right, Lord Regent?"

Aize frowned instantly and his body trembled involuntarily.

"...Don't call me that, but lunch is fine..."

Boom boom boom! ! !

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a heavy knock on the study door.

After receiving permission, a guard came in and reported to Sheen:

"My Lord, a group of people have arrived outside, claiming to be envoys sent by Marquis Cumming. They are here to visit the new regent of the kingdom. I hope you can introduce them to them!"

Aize and Xien looked at each other and sighed in sync.

That’s all, lunch was a miss.

Otherwise, if Aize was harassed by these guys, he might not be able to leave tomorrow.

"...Then, big brother, let's talk about it next time you come back."

"Okay, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, she quickly left through the back door, led by a maid.

After going out and arriving at the Noble Street, Aize looked at the luxurious carriage driving into the main gate and the fluttering noble flags, feeling helpless.

Just as I was thinking about what to do next, the corner of my clothes was suddenly pulled.

Turning around, I saw a little aristocratic girl.
