    Thanks to everyone for the spoilers.
    In the case of Sylverstian, since he gets rewarded a count title, won’t he have new found responsibilities and not have the time to be the FL’s personal guard anymore?(assuming that he was still imprinted) Also knowing the ML’s jealous personality I feel like it’s impossible for the imprinting on him to have not been removed XD

    The ending was rushed (like a summary) and things were only briefly mentioned. That was how it was “explained”. No side stories so far.

    What about the ending of the emperor? will he just simply step down and gave his position to Eve? I mean in the end she became an emperor right? So is it a natural succession procedure or the king will die that's why Eve will become the emperor?

    Well I wouldn't know. It never said anything specific about it. It is for sure he doesn't stay with them forever as the ending summarized that after MC step down from the throne, her and ML left and the people of the kingdom only ever see them whenever troubles arise and they'll come back to save the world, even after thousands of years. Because they're people of high alchemy ability and because he's a homunculus they could live for a very long time.

    In the side story they relieved him of his knight duties since he was injured during battle, and he did his Count duties for 5 years but he didn't have good management of his count duties so he left that to someone else and just wander around for 2 years and recently came back.

    Maybe he'll end up with Rosie since she broke her engagement with Kalis in the side story and declared celibacy so she can stay by MC's side. She asked Slyvestian to be her escort for future events.


    Side story is still ongoing (7 chapters currently) and yes the main story just ended like that. The whole last chapter was basically a summary wrapping up everything. A few sentences that just mentioned after doing it for many nights, they were finally able to have children. They just have to have sex for 10 days straight, no sleep and MC have to go through some mana/magic infusion. Apparently it was difficult and after 2 years of trying they weren't able to get it working until one day she came to visit him with the news. After he became the Duke, he doesn't live with her anymore and they're always busy. She just occasionally visits him and they would work on making a baby when she visits.

    Never said if he stepped down or pass away when MC became emperor. It just said she eventually did became emperor and did really well. From the side story, he was still emperor 2 years after MC and ML's marriage. MC help him with half his tasks at that point.

    After further reading on side stories, I believed he stepped down. It was said after his first granddaughter was born he was looking more forward to join the ranks of the sages and quit being emperor. Since alchemists can live a long time, most just dedicate their later lives to alchemy.

    @HappySheep00 He became one of MC's people and Rosie made him her fiance. They broke their engagement in the side story.

    but idk if you'll be able to click on it since you need verified KKP account. It's a r15 novel.

    **Made some changes to the answers above as I've read the side stories to latest chapter (ch7).**

    Continuing summaries, It's going to get more political and military heavy in plot

    There's 2 months left until the campaign for the war against the dragons. Bridget's fiance's family is a family that's in charge of military (though that doesn't mean they fight since only homunculus do all the physical work, instead they sell magic and alchemy weapons and supplies). The Marquis of Beltheor (Bridget's fiance's family) are reaping in huge profit. They're discussing currency with other noblemen. Other noblemen are also trying to steal power. Apparently Baltheor is focusing on central power (they were at southern before) so Count Pavlios is hinting to take the south.

    With the new personal knight changes, and new changes to alliances, the composition is different now. Bridget has 4 personal knights under her while MC has 6 (her 2 knights, Rosie's knight, Prince Ikalis's knight, Stefania's knight, Rubio's knight). The personal knights will be each in charge of separate divisions, while ML is the commander of the knight divisions under MC.

    MC knows ML might have some methods to take down the dragon since he fought and won the war in last life. She think it'll be helpful if he can pitch in ideas and methods on how to lower the death count. ML was training the other knights at the moment when MC approached him. They haven't been spending as much time together as they're both busy. While the rest of the knights rest, MC told ML and Sylvestian about the meeting she will be attending soon. ML told Sylvestian he will leave the training to him as he will escort MC to the meeting, while Slyvestian responded since ML is the one responsible for the homunculus he can't possibly take that role. ML looked at his friend who looked down feigning ignorance. When friendship was about to break, MC came up with a solution that everyone should join. She had convinced the emperor to allow homunculus to voice in on the meeting. ML lamented how it was so different from last life as back then they don't have the right to join in on these meetings. He smiled back at Eve as she said it will be different. He can foreshadow positive changes from MC's voice.

    Bridget brought up the idea of using warp for travelling while another noble tried to reject that idea since warp magic isn't advance yet and pretty dangerous and things can go wrong where when warped people can end up at wrong places or even torn apart. MC, however, said there are tools to help with that so it could be considered. The nobles tried to appeal to the emperor the new magical weapons they've developed. The nobles continued on with how the battle will commence. Front homunculus troop will engage full head on with the dragon while the rear homunculus troop will go for his wings. They believe once it falls down, they can lure it to the canyons where there will be traps and bullets waiting for it. The emperor doesn't seem too convinced with their plans. MC and ML who knew what happened in the past don't look positive with the plan brought up. MC know because they're not the ones fighting, they're not putting serious brainwork into planning. The planning should be done by people who are going to be the ones defeating it.

    The prime minister tried to move on to post war and the emperor stopped him and asked the knight commander what his opinion is. The nobles were surprised since the commander is ML and the emperor is asking a homunculus to pitch in. ML paused to think. His silence scared the nobles there. He then said it's tail first is better than the wings since it has 7 pairs of wings. They'll need to take down more than 4 wings to put it down. The tail could throw it off balance. A dragon can't fly well without its tail. It'll fall within 30min. ML added that luring to the canyon is a good idea but just traps and bullets aren't enough and they should try to use the wind, train people with wind magic specialization to also aide in pushing the dragon. he continued to give ideas on what are better weapons to use as well. The emperor and nobles listen intently with complete focus. Some noble asked why they couldn't easily destroy the wings by freezing. ML said it's resistant to ice since it's from the ice labyrinth of the north. Ave voiced her findings from researches in books. Ambroxa also has 7 heads so they will have a hard time figuring out where the fire breath will come from. The Marquis of Beltheor tried to insult ML for coming up with a strategy and thinking he deserve to speak with the emperor. MC got mad and rebuked him reminding him that the emperor allowed him to speak and what position does he have to speak for the emperor. The emperor sided with MC. In the end he even passed the proposal made by ML.

    Nobles can feel the change happening and it's going too fast. That wasn't the end of the meeting as the emperor then continue to tell them he's going to grant titles and territories according to the military services from this war. This enraged the nobles as only homunculus participate in actual battles. Also the idea of giving titles to homunculus was unconventional. MC and ML were stood confidently behind what the emperor brought up. Bridget was agitated. All the nobles yell over each other complaining to the emperor. The emperor doesn't find anything wrong with what he said. His patience wear thin as he then poured out in anger rebuking them that they've gotten too complacent with 100 years of peace that they can't even see the dire situation they're in now. He retired everyone after his meeting and the meeting was adjourned.

    Bridget left upset. She can tell the emperor is siding with MC.

    The Marquis who returned home complained about the emperor to his son Antonio. The father then told his son, he doesn't think the 3rd princess is as strong as he thinks since based on the meeting the emperor sided more with MC. He originally thought she was the undisputed first in succession. Also it wasn't just the emperor but when MC entered the conference hall, the cabinet members all split up opening the road for her to walk while when Bridget entered, they just slowed down their paces. It was obvious who was holding more merit. Marquis is giving advice to his son to be flexible with who he leans toward. He reminded his son, he's raised to be emperor so he should know what he must do.

    MC having tea with Anias and Julia and her two knights. As they were discussing about the knights' training, the door of the greenhouse suddenly opened and Rosie and Kalis came. While Kalis greeted MC politely, Rosie ran to MC and lean against the armrest of the chair MC was sitting on. MC stroked her head and told her to get up. ML clenched his fist. He's upset it's happening every time these days now and feeling annoyed every time he sees it. Rosie started to give an explanation of why she is here when she paused to have glare back and forth with ML who is standing behind MC. MC got frustrated from the complicated atmosphere as neither of them want to improve the relationship between them. MC knows that it's a deep scar that would be difficult to erase and it might take a lifetime for the feelings to dull, but she had no choice but to wait. The rest of the guests also start to feel uncomfortable so MC diverted the conversation and sent the personal knights farther away since there are more guests now.

    Rosie easily socialized with Anais and Julia. MC teased Kalis that he must be envied at the academy now that he's engaged with Rosie. He told her that's not really the case since there's rumors going around on the GL between the two sisters ever since the birthday banquet. Rosie looked on proudly when they start to talk about the rumors. MC choked on her tea. Anais said there are even plays on the forbidden love between the two sisters now. Rosie said she must sponsor them. When asked if she's fine with the scandal, Rosie openly confessed she's familiar with scandals since she had one before at the masquerade. The air froze at the unexpected declaration of Rosie.

    MC coughed to break the silence while Rihanna and Peony patted her back. It was then, Julia turned her head to look at MC if it was real. Rosie proudly said out loud that her sister have high standards. Anais patted Julia's drooping shoulder. Kalis quickly switched the topic to help MC. Apparently a bunch of magicians had been brought to the palace to fix the coordinates of the warp portal.

    Their conversations continued until when a blonde handsome man showed up. Antonio.

    Antonio made some excuse that he stopped by to get some flower. They wondered if he's getting some flowers for Bridget. There were some issues with that though- there's not enough space and Bridget isn't one that likes innocent romance. Antonio told them not to mind him though since he will leave after he finishes his business.

    He had a bunch of green roses cut off which was suspicious enough as they don't match Bridget. The green match MC's hair more. MC thought he was trying to provoke her since he's cutting them in front of her, but then he asked her to accept the roses.

    MC felt embarrassed seeing the roses in front of her. Antonio didn't even notice that everyone else was giving him bloody gazes as he was too busy trying to appeal to MC. He told her he believes even in amidst the fierce battles between the two sisters, flowers will bloom and one day when it's all over, they will understand each other and join hands. MC felt there was no way that will ever happen. He still appeal to her to accept the flowers at least. MC quickly accepted them to get him to leave.

    As soon as he left, they all wonder why he did that as it didn't seem like something done on Bridget's order. Rosie didn't say a word and took the flowers from MC's hand and threw them on the floor. Meanwhile, ML kept watching Antonio walk away from the glass walls, as if he wanted to eradicate him.

    Since then Antonio will try to speak or be with MC whenever he gets a chance. From morning greetings to random meetings. MC wasn't sure what was going on since in last life she wasn't able to grasp what he was like either. She didn't want to be in a situation where it seemed like she was stealing or coveting Bridget's fiancé. She kept thinking about it, ML asked her one day what she was thinking when they were alone and she answered him without thinking Antonio's name. The unpleasant air immediately woke her up and she tried to explain to him. He started complaining that isn't it too much to think of another man when they can finally be alone together. He started pouring excuses how she was probably lying when she said she couldn't make love to him and started blaming it must be his lack of charm. MC panicked and wished she had answered him that she was thinking of making a baby.

    She ended up giving him a peck to appease him. She said it's probably silly to resolve an issue this way but then she went in and kiss him. He told her he think it's a good way to solve it. She tried to explain to him. He told her she doesn't have to since he can understand. It's just that he would rather they talk about them. They were having a sweet moment where ML cuddled with her under his cloak despite her having the magic ability to create warmth, when Antonio came calling her name. MC immediately fell from ML's arms and ML also stood up.

    Antonio asked what she was doing alone but she wasn't alone. It could be said homunculus doesn't count as human so she's "alone". ML clenched his fist and MC's expression froze. MC told him that he has a fiancée so he should avoid meeting her as much as possible as it would cause misunderstandings. Antonio got embarrassed from her remark. He started making some excuse that he wanted to get to know MC more but couldn't because they're in separate political standing.

    ML on the side was having bad thoughts about 'this kid'. MC can tell his bad mood, extended her hand to hold his clenched fist to calm him down. She coldly responded to Antonio that he's making a dangerous remark, she will pretend she didn't hear him and that she's not interested in him. He started to appeal her with his family. He thinks that even if she's not interested in him, she should be interested in his family since with the battle coming alone, his military family would be good to have for political standing. She told him to tell her directly what he's aiming for. He asked her for a union. He told her that he doesn't really side with Bridget and he's looking for the emperor position. MC walked away with ML after she gave him a vague response that his offer seemed interesting.

    ML couldn't hold in his anger and immediately when all his senses in his body sharpened, he aimed his sword at Elijah who was just running happily to see ML and wanting to talk to him since it's been a long time. Elijah got scared wondering why it felt like he's trying to kill someone. ML looking at the person in front of him recalled there was a time when Elijah was obsessed with MC. He concluded the problem is with the people by Bridget's side.

    When Slyvie came and Elijah asked him why ML is like this, he guessed it's probably Antonio, since he's secretly trying to get into MC's eyes. Elijah doesn't get it since siding with Antonio would be good for MC, especially with the subjugation happening soon. Luckily Snow came and stopped him from talking further as she commented the king (referring to ML) is feeling uncomfortable. She greeted ML as well.

    Elijah and Snow continued talking. Snow is sure they're not fully on MC's side since he just wanted insurance. Regardless she told ML not to worry since ML is still better than Antonio who cannot reach his ability that can even surpass the emperor. It was then when Snow and Elijah were talking, ML told Snow it's better if she calls him 'Sir Agnito' or 'Michael', then pulled out his sword as it seemed someone overheard them talking. ML could tell someone warped there as he felt there's a distortion with the time and space around them. The person hiding wouldn't reveal himself so they wonder if they should kill him. The bushes then rustled and ML could no longer hold it in and told the rat to reveal himself. His sword split the bushes and someone came out screaming. ML then stopped himself as he recognized someone familiar.

    ML tried to interrogate him asking him where he heard it from. Alben accidentally mentioned 'king'. Alben started trying to correct himself that he didn't hear anything. ML silently pondered what to do with him. Alben then tried to persuade that he'll side with ML after realizing ML's abilities. He asked ML if he wanted to become emperor's husband. The three other homunculi froze and ML narrowed his eyes.

    He appealed to ML that he can help him become an part of the imperial family. Also Alben knows working with ML will also benefit MC's cause. He told ML becoming an emperor will make him suffer so it's more comfortable to become the emperor's husband (meaning he's trying to appeal to ML to marry MC). Alben then praised ML that there's no better man than him who have great ability and lots of stamina, can play and eat forever. Only flaw is that he's homunculus so the nobles might have some issues with him, but Alben can help him with that as future Prime Minister. And if ML is concern about being a concubine because of the emperor's polygamy life, he can help ML with that too.

    He told ML that ML can think of his as family, like real brothers. ML questioned him on family and Alben agreed. ML tilted his head and after a long silence, he sheathed his sword. Alben opened his eyes that were closed before. ML lowered himself to greaet his 'brother' and Alben fainted. Elijah asked if he really can't kill him. ML wasn't going to kill him anyway since he's one of MC's loyal people, but he will have to have a talk with MC. He didn't think Alben would bring all those suggestions up first.

    He woke Alben up and took him to MC. MC pushed her work away and made room to talk with them. ML confessed the series of events to MC and Alben who thought he was the first to know, thought MC would get shocked but instead she laughed at the misunderstanding. She asked Alben if he was going to be ML's family offering ML to her as political marriage.

    It was only then Alben realized MC already knew the secret. She then told Alben her actual plan was to become emperor so she can enact laws to give homunculus rights as other subjects, and she took ML as her personal knight to make her goal easier. Alben was in awe of MC. He was surprised to know she's the still same as back then because he originally was hated by the imperial family for supporting values for homunculus. He think it's wonderful. Alben became more motivated to help MC now. MC proclaimed to Alben that she is only going to have ML as her companion and she'll resolve the succession issue through alchemy. Both MC and Alben agreed ML is the perfect groom candidate. Alben said he will also plant an olive tree in front of ML's front yard. MC told him, her and ML can take care of that.

    Alben then remember what else he eavesdropped. He told MC that ML was upset about Antonio. MC looked at ML and he felt embarrassed. Alben patted ML on the shoulder and told him he won't have to worry as he will deal with Antonio's whole family soon, so ML can look forward to that.

    He had to kiss it since he was under the imperial family now, but he immediately wiped his lips when they left and Eve looked on with surprise. Michael told her it felt even more disgusting than when he had to be imprinted by the emperor so he hates Rosie more than the emperor.

    ***​


    continuing with Antonio

    These days Antonio would randomly smile or frown randomly when thinking alone. It been that way since MC told him she'll think about his proposal. When he thinks about MC, his heart would felt uplifted, something he never felt with Bridget. In fact he never cared who his companion would be as long as he can become the emperor. Marriage with the imperial was always for political reason and not romantic.

    The more he thought about it Beatrice's dominant and self centered personality dissatisfies him. When he hears of the merits MC makes, he would feel gratified as if his own honor was raised. In his head, he already felt he's MC's fiance and no longer Bridget's fiance. He's sure MC fits him and he fits her the best given his position as the son of the Marquis. The only thing he didn't like is that MC is young and too passive compared to Bridget. He would work hard to visit the palace to see her but even when he meets her, he always pass by without greeting him. He was getting impatient. He wanted to get a definite answer from her today.

    As he wandered the main palace looking for her, he finally found MC and called out to her. MC had just came out of a meeting and there were other nobles around. It'll be difficult for her to avoid him. In fact that was his intention. He thought she would suggest moving to another place to continue talking but instead she coldly told him off that she has nothing to say with a frivolous person. As she turned away, he grabbed her arm, but before his hand could reach her arm, ML grabbed his hand.

    He yelled at ML to leg him go, to which he did after MC's order. Antonio thought MC was on his side, but then she told him if he keeps doing this, it'll be difficult for her to treat him as Bridget's fiancé. Antonio then yelled out asking didn't she fell for his charm. He did that to get the onlookers to think MC has some relationship with her sister's fiancé. It worked as people around them started to gossip. Fortunately MC had someone who can resolve this. It was then, Viscount Fritz appeared and MC encouraged him to explain to Antonio what had happened before since the emperor isn't pleased with Antonio's father for neglecting his duties, and the conference broke out. Fritz bit his lips and explained.

    It was three days ago where the nobles of the south gathered. It resulted in a mess as nobles argued. The two nobles in charge of the iron (Gravicon) and black gold (Hillman) production were infuriated when they found out Pavlioz had gained enormous wealth by securing gold. Both of them tried to work together to pressure Pavlioz but then Pavlioz said he would take in iron as trade. Gravicon then sided with Pavlioz immediately and Hillman felt betrayed. Pavlioz encouraged the feud between Gravicon and Hillman, but then Hillman was sure they'll both regret this as he had people carry out a chest and showed them the weapon using black gold, not silver. Pavlioz tried to bribe him with gold and Hillman demanded only black gold in return. They got upset he's trying to sell black gold with black gold and for other rates he's doing 1000 gold for 1 black gold. Anyway, the fight between the nobles lasted all night and the next day they returned with torn clothes and ripped hair. Their union was destroyed.

    The emperor who found out about this was enraged with Marquis Beltheor for not being able to handle his own men in the south and still tried to gain central power. It was also at that time there were whispers going on about what's happening outside with Antonio.

    The emperor became enraged once more with the Marquis when he found out his son was eyeing for both his daughters at the same time. He questioned how he's educating his sons. As punishment they can't enter the palace for the next 10 years. MC looked on pleased since now he can't try to aim for central political power, and he can't try to get any political marriages for his sons, also lost the connection with Bridget. In the end he had to return back to the south as he also lost his connection with Reimcal due to Bridget.

    MC and ML discussed on the aftermath together as she moved some chess pieces. ML gently embraced her from behind and lightly kissed her cheek. Lovers rubbing each others' cheeks can be reflected in the mirror.

    ML told her she looked happy and she said one of the offending bugs have disappeared. MC also told ML he looked happy and he said he removed one of the marriage candidates for her. MC laughed and he pretended to seriously glaze his eyes as she soothed him.

    MC told him she never planned to have ML do something to resolve it. Also she doesn't want to make ML the emperor (this is in relation that Antonio wanted to be emperor). ML flinch but then she continued saying that he will be the 'husband of the emperor' (technically the words are husband like empress but I guess consort?). He then told her that she always tell him what he wants to hear. She told him to reward the lips that only say words he likes to hear. He told her how would he know what she wants the most right now, but then his face approached closer and kissed her. A knock then came. MC got annoyed since they had just resolved the Antonio issue so what now. Sadella said she will come in.

    Alben called for a meeting as the seal for Ambroxa had broken.

    The dragon is already flying heading over towards the palace. The emperor held an emergency meeting. The nobles were panicking as they tried to think of where to divert it, east or south. They all argue over each other as neither want their territory to get ambushed. Also they were confused how the seal was broken this quickly. They were asking MC, hadn't she confirmed it was completely sealed from their last exhibition (this was when Bridget tried to use ML as sacrifice to power up the sealing stone). Apparently it seemed like Ambroxa had gotten much stronger since the time reversal, and that was why the seal broken earlier. MC felt responsible for it since she was the reason time reverted. Bridget who entered later with Elijah, Reimcal and Fritz, took this situation as a good opportunity for her.

    Meeting commenced. 3 hours ago, news had came that it had already attacked 2 territories. Provinces that spread the news were no longer in communication. The nobles couldn't do anything about it as they lack knights and men themselves. Only the emperor monopolized the homunculus who can defeat dragons, so in other words, all the territories the dragon will pass, will get destroyed as nothing will be able to stand in its way. (This is in relation to a previous issue MC had brought up to the emperor before where he should've spread out his knights to different locations instead of keeping them all at the palace.)

    A noble asked if it really is Ambroxa and not some lower level dragon, but witnesses have already confirmed it has 7 pairs of wings. Fortunately it's not a magical dragon so it can't warp.

    (Might not be able to summarize all their plans as it's too much.)

    They brought up sending out high ranked wizards to warp it back to Idgras. But they need tools to have fixed coordinates for something large there (it's used as like a lighthouse). They decided to use the world tree as the coordinate. Also the people around there worships MC. The emperor was proud when they brought that up. Bridget doesn't look happy from that. They would have to move all their troops to Idgras frontier to prepare for after they warp him there. It'll be difficult to warp all 300 homunculus knights so they weren't sure what to do with that. Also dividing the knights into groups on standby might be too late. Most warp portals were also destroyed by the dragon. MC asked if they can warp the troops with the knights. They said it's possible but they're only able to warp a few at a time given the dragon's large body.

    MC then requested the emperor to allow ML's group to be the advanced team. Everyone started to feel pity for MC and Bridget didn't want that so she mockingly wondered if she's trying to kill her knights. MC then asked Bridget if she wanted her knights to be the first group then. Obviously Bridget had no words to answer for that. MS also requested the emperor to allow her to join the advanced group. Everyone including ML looked on in surprised. The emperor got upset asking why she would try to go there. She made some excuse that ML is her personal knight so it's natural for her to have to go, and she should do her duty as someone from the imperial family. She also said they will need someone from the imperial family to control them in case. She waited in silence for his approval. ML called her name. He really didn't want her to have to set foot on the battlefield. MC on the other hand is sure she will be helpful as she had grown in power. The emperor finally permit her. Bridget on the other hand took that as a good sign for her. Emperor then added if MC comes back alive from Igdras, the leadership priority of the knights army will be handed over to her.

    Meeting was adjourned before Bridget could change that.

    [QUOTE = "NohrNeir, post: 6244649, member: 239758"] Tenía que besarlo ya que ahora estaba bajo la familia imperial, pero inmediatamente se secó los labios cuando se fueron y Eve lo miró con sorpresa. Michael le dijo que se sintió aún más repugnante que cuando tuvo que ser impreso por el emperador, por lo que odia a Rosie más que al emperador. [/ QUOTE]
    Very grateful

    There’s one thing I’m confused about. Antonio is Bridget’s fiancé, right? Wasn’t he made into a scapegoat for the prostitution ring? Was the whole fiasco before or after he took the blame?

    @NohrNeir is spoiling as they read the novel so everything is in order rn. Making her fiancée into a scapegoat happened before. The Emperor found out about the prostitution ring but swept it under the rug for their reputation, he wanted to hide the secret that the imperial family is messed up. The Emperor did punish him, but I don't think it was severe since he's still around until now where he really got dealt with. (if I'm missed something pls correct me). EDIT: This is a mistake that has now been fixed. It was not Antonio (Bridget's fiancée) who was blamed but one of Bridget's people, Count Chansley.

    Oh no, wait. which spoiler said that? It was Chansley who was taken the blame but Bridget decided to hide his evidence so even if got punished it won't be severe. MC later on found the evidence and that brought him down. Let me fix the spoiler for that.

    Found and fixed. Thank you. :blobok:

    ***​

    These parts are very battle heavy.

    The following 4 days, everyone prepped and worked. Rosie used her social skills to stabilize the public. The southern territory worked on producing more weapons. Warp portals were set up.

    On the day of the battle, imperial family held a ceremony where 300 homunculus knights marched in rows . Eve and Bridget rode carriages along the side of their knights. It was a magnificent sight but no one make a sound as they're all heading to battle, but the children cheered for MC as she have good public opinion unlike Bridget where some called her the devil. It was also one of the few time the public was allowed to see the imperial faces (during the festivals they always wear a veil). The children wave laurel branches signifying victory. MC thanked them as she stroke some of their heads promising victory. ML turned his horse to the rear and pulled out his sword proclaiming victory and defeat to the dragon to bring prosperity and glory to the empire. Firecrackers and cheers explode out.

    They arrived an hour later. everyone start to set up camps and make predictions when the dragon will show up. MC went to inspect the terrains and check their supplies and held meetings. MC met up with an old acquaintance, a highly ranked wizard (Natasha). She discussed with her what the wizards would have to do (lure and restrain the dragon for at least 3 minutes at a designated location). Bridget showed up. Natasha isn't sure they can handle that and MC told her they have Snow there to help. Bridget showed up reminiscing of the time they were at the gateway (where she killed Derek). MC also remembered that time. Bridget tells her to make sure to die this time as she left. ML showed up to inform MC the winds aren't good right now. They're getting stronger. Someone from the wizard team noticed a black stain in the sky and pointed at it.

    Ambroxa had arrived.

    It came much earlier than predicted. Everyone was overwhelmed by the pressure of it even though its still at a considerable distance. The homunculus troops all stand in formation. With ML's 'king' ability he was able to command them well. While the knights were fine, the wizards froze up as humans rarely come into contact with combat. MC took control of commanding the wizards. Bridget was upset she didn't jump in to do it first. The dragon is approaching too fast for her to try to set up coordination. ML command the troops to different formation as they rush towards Ambroxa. They all start aiming and hitting at it. Ambroxa cursed at the homunculi. It started forming black clouds from the clear sky and thunderbolts over the plains. 4 of its heads started opening its mouths. They thought it was going to breathe fire. But MC knew better since she's good at trajectory and told the wizards to focus on opening the gate. She held out her staff and released 5 physical and magical barriers, while Bridget who reacted later put up 4. The fire came and lasted for a long time but fortunately it didn't break through their barriers, but the ground underneath the barrier had melted.

    Natasha yelled out the gate is ready. ML moved on to next operation. He started instructing them to lure it into range and the rear troop to put up illusion and prepare for binding magic. They have to move it to the gate before it shoots out its breath for the 2nd time. MC and ML were commanding in unison. Problem was Bridget wasn't reacting well to having people commanding better than her. There was no way she could take initiative and she doesn't want to support. The 4 knights under her command weren't used to its fullest potential as no one was commanding them. MC seeing that started commanding Bridget's team. Bridget got mad MC is commanding her knights. MC told her she did it since she's not doing what she's supposed to. MC signaled Natasha and Natasha went to open the gate immediately. A huge hole formed above Ambroxa's head as a door of twisted time and space opened up bigger sucking up the dragon. Wizards start to cast binding magic and barriers. It wasn't enough though.

    MC called out to Snow. Snow set up her binding ability but Natasha said it's not enough for 3 min. MC told her not to worry about it as she tried to focus on her spell. Ambroxa was dragged into the gate by its tail. MC called out to Slyvetian. He released some wind current upward. Ambroxa tried to wiggle out and flapped its wings asking where they're trying to send it. MC felt a gaze towards her. ML was looking at her. She smiled at him. She knew what the gaze was about. He still wanted her to change her mind about going but she was adamant about it. She extended her hand and asking if they should go. When he ask if she have plans to change her mind, she asked him who else can protect him so she told him once more to go together. He reluctantly agree with a laugh and a sigh and held her hand. He hugged her tightly as he then commanded the advancing team to enter. All the homunculi from the advancing team went in and the gate sucked them all in. Magic light lit up and their bodies float into the air. They all arrived safely.

    There were some differences to their landing spots though. Ambroxa landed quite far away from where ML and MC landed that they couldn't hear what it was screaming. Ambroxa landed back to where it were before next to the broken seal. ML and MC landed at the world tree. Most of the troop landed by the lake. When MC took a look around, everything was worse off from before. The tree was still alive at least and standing well. The troops all head toward where ML and MC are. Elijah called out to ML. ML asked how he's here too and Elijah said he pulled out one of the troop member from the advancing team and filled in his spot. Ml paused in silence for a moment before thanking Elijah. (It's just that Elijah is Bridget's personal knight and he acted as if he didn't care about it.) ML told him to lead the first squad for him since he can focus on actual battle then, after all, ML's strength is much stronger than them as he's king of homunculus. It's better to actually have him in battle. In the last life, he even had to rush in to kill Ambroxa alone as everyone turned to corpses.

    MC called out to ML as they looked to see at the direction towards the ruined Dandelion, crowd of people are approaching. Luckily, most of the residents of Dandelion were able to survive from Ambroxa's attack when it awaken. The village chief, Helione, told her that they were able to survive thanks to the underground facility she had set up with barriers. They all expressed their gratitude towards her. They were wondering why Ambroxa is back here. MC explained to them about the warp gates. She apologized for dragging the dragon back to their land and using their land as a battlefield. Helione told her to take it back as they're already very thankful for all she had done before.

    The ground then shook. Seemed like Ambroxa is back. ML doesn't plan to wait for the 2nd team to arrive. If they wait, they will be wiped out by then. They're not going to drag the battle to wait for their arrival and everyone in advancing team and Dandelion troop will have to just fight for their will to survive. MC told them to all follow ML's order and not the imperial order. All the homunculi already follow ML's will. Helione looked in surprise that they're not follow MC. She laughed and just explain he's a bit special and she'll explain more in detail later. Helione agreed to fight with the determination to subdue it. MC agreed she'll be on the rear support.

    With ML's command, 30 knights advanced forward as Ambroxa then opened its 7 mouths. Everyone was nervous but ML reassured them it's not going to be a breath that shoots out in full force. As he predicted they shot out in short lower powered burst, but even the low powered burst was similar to a high powered magic attack. The knights evaded its attacks and the land it hit melted. They were all lifted by Ambroxa's buoyancy ability and engaging in an air battle several km up in the air. ML commanded them to go for its tail first. It was as ML said, if they had waited, it'll be suicidal. MC was supporting in the rear putting up barriers defending where lightning falls and feeding stamina potions to troops who run out of stamina. The battle lasted for 2 hours and they barely made sparse holes in 2 of its wings. Watching calmly, ML could tell theirs swords are becoming useless and he would need to go for it straight on. He pulled out his sword and commanded them all to ride on its back to cut its tail off. Alijah looked on from surprise but ML told him, that was the plan from the start. He did the same in last life but this life is better since the troops are all working together well. Elijah thinks he's crazy. ML ordered them all to follow him. Elijah worked on attacking 5 of Ambroxa's head while Snow worked on the other 2. This allowed ML to land safely on its back. He ordered them all to keep close. Ambroxa hearing ML, turned 3 of its head to the back facing ML.

    ML asked him if he should cut him into 15 equal parts again and then corrected himself to 14 since the 15th part, he turned into dust. The dragon yelled at him to shut up. ML just kept igniting his anger. ML was annoyed as he kept stabbing at a spot that won't stick in at all. Ambroxa exclaimed triumphantly that he had gotten stronger and asked if he would like to jump into his mouth like he did last life. ML said he doesn't want to since he almost die doing that last time. He kept hacking away at the tail. It then released smoke forming corpses to attack ML with the purpose of dropping him off its back. He placed a sword on aggro missiles to burn at the corpses and went back to boringly stabbing the tail. ML point out to it that they having higher chance now to deal attack on him now compare to last life since this time they're engaging in an air battle, meaning its body is 30% less rigid since it'll be too heavy to fly if it's going full defense. He tried to mock the dragon. Ambroxa reminded him he's not alone and then he released out dark magic engulfing its surroundings.

    His allies start breaking out into screams as they're getting attacked mentally. Everyone started getting lost into their nightmares. Everyone, but MC who was holding onto the staff made from the world tree. But MC has the most powerful trajectory magic 'Silver's Arachne'. (Not sure about the name of this attack but she learned this early on when she first went to her master's place and had the dream where master revealed ML loved her. Her master gave the scroll on how to use this skill to ML to hand over to MC. The skill had been used several times throughout the story. It's a defense move that deals damage, which is good for MC since she is weak in offense moves.) Anyway she was able to divert the trajectory of the dark fragments and destroy them.

    Everyone woke up confused. They were all amazed at MC. She told them to admire later and go help ML now. It was then Ambroxa's scream can be heard as they looked up to see his tail falling off. MC screamed out at ML. The blood from the tail splattered and created craters. Ambroxa's body start to fall down. ML jumped down from the sky along with his troops. ML called to Slyvetian to raise the wind. They were dropping too fast though. They can't push it to the canyon. ML decided he will destroy the ground to make manmade canyons. Everyone protected themselves from the earthquakes, shock waves and sweeps. When the shock subsided they went over to see Ambroxa in the huge crater.

    Both advanced team troops and Dandelion troops went straight for it. That made it easy for the dragon to shoot at them in one breath. They tried to dodge it when they were then caught with a gravitational pull . Dozens of Dandelion troops were killed from the gravitational field placed. They could barely block its 4 head breaths. It's 7 head breaths will be even more unlikely with the amount of people they have now. ML clenched his teeth as he thought of that. ML was about to get MC to escape from the war now, when she came over and told them all to gather as she will focus on defense. Snow will go for range defense attack (it's an attack that does reflexive defenses, weaker than normal defense moves though) in the forefront. She told ML not to think about the rear and protect Snow. ML wanted to protect her but she told him not to think too much about it. ML spread out his aggro attack ('Aegis' name of his move) in front of Snow and pull out his sword. Ambroxa's fire went straight for them. They didn't even blink their eyes.

    But the fire next hit them. They realized MC is changing the fire's trajectory moving them at an angle. Everyone was amazed at her skill. They tried to focus but then Ambroxa sacrificed one of its heads to form new wings. It flew up and throw another breath. It was aiming for MC. ML couldn't save her on time. His face grew distorted in despair. MC closed her eyes ready to get killed. It was then she felt someone hugging her. She opened her eyes to see Elijah hugging her. She then also realized warm blood flowing down his face and chest, but he said they weren't his blood. Ambroxa continued to pour out fire. Elijah continued to hold down the fire. He screamed at ML to hurry up and finish it off. It was then ML split it in half. But when they finally can grasped their situation they realized Slyvetian was the one in front of Elijah. ML ran to hug Slvetian and turned him over. He called to MC and thanked her for being okay. MC screamed out to bring potions. Slvetian desperately called for MC and was happy he can die being her knight. She threatened him not to say that. He closed his eyes. No responses came from their constant calling.

    Peace didn't last long as they then heard Ambroxa scream out again. All its 6 heads burst out and thousands of snake like heads came out. It had reached it's final stage. Its attacks had become harder to tell. MC told them she will intercept them to make it easier for thhim to break through. ML said he will trust her and go straight. He showed his trust by kissing the back of her hand and promised his victory to her. She told him to return back and he then left.

    He cut straight through easily thanks to MC and Snow. The dragon is now more vulnerable to attacks since it went all full offense. He easily attack at it. The whole body then showed signs of exploding. He told them to break the ground as the ground began to shake and the two of them fell into the darkness. MC ran towards the hole and scream out his name. red sparks began to rise from the hole. It meant Ambroxa finally died and formed into crystal.

    tldr - First battle is to lure Ambroxa to warp gate. After warp gate to Igdras, battle commenced. Dragon dies with Slyvetian severely injured.

    It's suffice to say MC and ML went bunny every available time they have.
