Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 1747: Punishment

"I have heard everything, and I won’t allow it!"

"!!!" Luna and Leon turned around. The one who spoke was not Nathan or anyone in their group.

When they turned around, they saw only one man who decided what would happen next. It was the emperor.

As the duke of the empire, it was only natural for the emperor to be the one to give the punishment.

Luna saw Selena and Evelyn standing outside. Selena was supposed to talk to the empire, while Evelyn had to go to the dynasty.

But they actually had another assignment from Nathan.

Selena recalled what had happened before coming to this continent.

"Selena, after telling the emperor about the threat, can you tell him about Luna’s brother?"

"Eh?" Selena widened her eyes, not expecting such a request. "Do you want me to ask for forgiveness? Well, with our strength, it should be more than enough. I thought you’d like to bring him to Gratzel."

"Luna often told me about her brother. For that kind of person, there was only one thing he would do... at least, that was what I could imagine. Rather than being executed, it would be wiser to use him in another area.

"At least, this would give him a purpose to live. He would have to abandon everything, but..." Nathan smiled.

Selena understood everything. It was obvious why Nathan had this request. "It’s for Luna, isn’t it?"

Nathan pinched Selena’s cheeks. "Luna is just like you. After suffering so much, she has cast away her emotions."

"You have allowed me to regain that emotion. It’s thanks to you that I can still smile right now." Selena smiled, showing that this was the result of his interference.

"If I don’t do anything about this, Luna might never smile again. I wish for everyone to have a smile on their faces. However, Luna might not be able to tell him that, so that’s why this is the only solution."

Selena closed her eyes before kissing him. "This is why I love you. You are fine the way you are, so this time, I will do everything I can to convince the emperor."

"Thank you. I would have done it myself, but unfortunately, I have to go to Qion."

"Go there. You can rely on us. We girls know how to take care of each other." Selena chuckled.

"I’m counting on you."

...

Selena just smiled as soon as the emperor entered. She had done her part.

"Your Majesty..." Leon was startled.

"What you are doing is cowardice, Duke Leon Eleren! And I can’t allow you to die." The emperor glanced at Luna. In a way, he felt pressure from Nathan. At the same time, he was also convinced that having Leon alive was more beneficial for the empire.

At the very least, after hearing everything, he knew Leon would be a person of the empire and would do everything for the empire.

"Right now, the empire is in peril. We are facing a threat bigger than anything we’ve seen before. That’s why I can’t afford for our fighter to die as they like."

"But Your Majesty—" Leon wanted to protest, but the emperor stopped him.

"However! What you have done is also punishable by death. That’s why I’m going to give you the punishment you deserve, Duke Leon!" The emperor waved his hand. "Duke Leon Eleren.

"For your assistance in killing and almost ruining the empire, I sentence you to death!"

Luna’s face became pale, while Leon actually felt relieved.

However, the emperor continued, "Sarfan or Duke Leon Eleren has died in battle during the subjugation. What stands in front of me is a nameless person who has been resurrected. That’s why you are to abandon your name, your family, and your guilt.

"From this point onward, you will be known as Nameless. You are going to be the vice ambassador of the empire. You are to assist the embassy of the empire to ensure that no suspicious people enter the empire."

"!!!" Luna was stunned. She looked at Selena and Evelyn again, realizing that they, or maybe Nathan, had actually played a part in this.

Leon opened his mouth, but the emperor simply turned around. "That’s all. I am in no mood to hear any objection from a nameless person."

With this, Leon would definitely fulfill his duty. He would stay alive and could probably hold the kids Luna had in the future.

Bang!

The door was closed loudly as though he were expressing his anger from talking to a nameless person, but it also meant that he didn’t want to hear any objections.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Selena smiled.

"It doesn’t matter. I have a way to find the truth from you, and I see that you’re telling me the truth about the aliens.

"I have always been ignorant that the threat is so big that we will be hopeless. To ensure that the empire remains standing, this is the best course of action.

"Besides, his words have convinced me. I might not have heard much about Leon Eleren in the past before he was brainwashed, but I had heard the former Duke Eleren talk about his son.

"At the very least, those reasons were enough to convince me."

Selena nodded in understanding. "Thank you for your magnanimity."

"Hmph. I don’t know what you have done this time, but that barrier in the sky... it might no longer be visible, but you must have something to do with it, right? I have seen the sky and one of the round things has disappeared.

"At the very least, I know that the danger this time is beyond what I’m capable of. You and your group are probably the only ones who can deal with something like that.

"That’s why, tell Nathan that he should deal with the problem and survive. Don’t take too long and make sure to fall for my sister’s seduction next time."

Selena smiled wryly.

"Anyway, I’ll be leaving." The emperor just walked away, but Selena and Evelyn could hear him muttering, "If the seduction doesn’t work, it will mean that I’m incompetent because all the people I hire are incompetent."

Selena and Evelyn just looked at each other with an awkward smile, not knowing what to say.
