When I Fell Madly in Love With the Heroine, the World Changed. - Chapter 46

—“Rhode?!”

Kenya calls his name in surprise.

Rhode Asgard, at the appearance of the dominant family of this country.

“Ken?”

Rhode smiles at the statement.

Kenya is startled by his intimidating smile and rephrases his statement.

“Sa-sama…”

“Haha, it looks like you’ve already started to make a mess, Ken. From the looks of it, they’ve all been defeated, right? You can all make yourselves comfortable.”

“Rho, Your Highness Rhode! I see you’ve returned.”

“Haha, I’ve already quit school number 13, Thanks for looking after me again. Star.”

“No, Of course Your Highness Rhode.”

Colonel Star was the first to speak to Rhode.

Come to think of it, he’s royalty, I’d forgotten because he’s so frank.

The way he treats him is not a representative in name, only, he seriously envies, respects and worships him.

It was a feeling that Kenya didn’t really understand, but he reaffirmed that this is what the royal family in this country is like.

“I see. So, Ken you are a knight of of… , no way!”

“Oh, I didn’t have a knight, I didn’t choose one. Even my father always told me to decide quickly. But I finally decided. I have decided that this Ken Sylphid shall be my knight.”

“My goodness! Congratulations on that! Ken! That’s a great honour! Congratulations! Sieg must be so proud of his son!”

Hearing this, the charlatans around him and Jin were surprised and applauded at the same time.

They were convinced that there was nothing wrong with Kenya’s ability.

“Seriously, congratulations! Isn’t this pretty good news?”

“Congratulations, Onii-chan.”

“Soooo, that’s great,Ken-kun! I didn’t expect such a transfer student!”

“A knight of His Highness. As a duke, I congratulate you as one of the representatives of this country. His Highness the Rhode.”

In this country, it is a great honor to serve the royal family.

And the royal family has only one exclusive knight.

Like Gillian, for Yumir, it is considered the highest profession in this country.

It is looked upon with envy and admiration, and in terms of status, it ranks alongside the three heroes.

Yumir was too problematic, and not many people wanted to become one, but a knight of the Rhode is a dream position that all KOG knights in Asgar Empire dream of.

Warriors who survived the EU wars admired his charisma, and those who were still inexperienced admired his saga.

An undefeated commander, an ever-victorious royalty.

The existence of Rhode has become the aspiration of the entire nation, which still shines brightly even without the status of royalty.

“How enviable to be a knight of Master Rhode! But with Ken, I’m convinced. Congratulations! I had my eyes on it too…”

It seems that Jin was also aiming for the title, but Ken is convinced that he would be the right choice.

The title of Knight of the Rhode, the most feared imperial family in the world and the most respected in the empire, is something everyone wants.

But Jin, who recognizes Ken’s skill in beating himself up, is convinced and applauds.

“Now the Emperor will be relieved! Only Rhode-sama has never decided on a knight…”

“I have high standards, and at last found this man for me. Hey… Ken.”

Rhode then deliberately and frankly locked shoulders with Kenya.

“Oh, ah… no, yes!”

We know it’s a performance.

As if the Prime Ministers were shaking hands and taking photos with each other, showing proof of friendship and validity.

This is what Rhode wanted to do, first make it known that Kenya is completely Rhode’s.

Today this rumor will spread at the speed of lightning, and eventually the whole Asgar Empire will congratulate him. but that is still a long way off, and right now it is still just a rumor, a verbal promise.

“Now then, let’s turn on the imperial broadcast. According to the schedule… it should be on soon, right?”

“Yes, Reelbert. Would you be ready? We’ve got about ten minutes.”

“Yes, sir!”

“I’ll help you too!”

In these situations, it seems that Reelbert, a commoner, still does the chores.

The Zoids is a duke, and the others are holy knights.

Is it a school caste, a military caste? Noble caste?

In that sense, it still feels strange to have a monarchy where the only higher-ranking Lords are the elder brother and father.

Kenya, who grew up in a modern Japanese democracy, cannot understand it.

In terms of meaning, it would be the same with the emperor.

“But it’s been a long time since we’ve had emergency imperial broadcasts. They used to be played all the time during the war…”

Colonel Starr murmured, rubbing his fine beard.

“What kind of broadcast is it?”

“Hmm? You’ve never seen it?”

“Oh, Ken was raised strictly by Sieg. He’s a bit peculiar and out of touch with the world. I’ll explain it to you, Ken.”

Then, sitting in a prepared chair, Rhode speaks up.

Even though he is a member of the royal family, he is still quite frank and that’s why everyone loves him and is comfortable with him.

Rhode then begins to explain.

To put it simply, the Imperial Broadcasting Service is a state-run broadcasting service.

It reminds me of N0K, but in my previous world, I always got through over the intercom by saying that my parents were not there.

It’s okay, it’s not a lie, in fact I didn’t watch any TV, all I did was play KOG.

And that state-run broadcaster is in charge of all the news and military information that is reported during Empire.

Being state-run, propaganda is easy, and in this world where there is no internet like in the previous world, the truth is hidden in the dark.

The royal family controls the media in order to hold the Empire.

Of course, Rhode did not say anything like that, but Kenya understood it anyway.

If the royal family says black, even white things become black.

That is how the history of the empire has given a cause to war and meaning to aggression.

It must be so strong to control the media.

“And the reason why it’s being broadcast today is… well I know, but if you listen, you’ll know. And it’s a big deal for the imperial family.”

The footage is then shown on the big screen.

The viewer rating is an astonishing 90% or more, or so they say, nothing else is shown at this time, including other programmes.

And it is the obligation of the people to watch it.

“Good evening, Asgar Empire citizens.”

Then a woman who looks like a TV news anchor appears.

She is honestly very beautiful… I guess an announcer has to be beautiful… It’s the same everywhere in the world, isn’t it, the world is so harsh.

“Today we will be sending you an emergency imperial broadcast. The live feed is connected to the site, so please listen in, everyone. Here you go.”

The screen then switches.

A huge platform for speeches appears.

Behind it, the flag of the Asgard Empire, a huge shield and a sword are shown.

And on the platform stands a man.

“Citizens of the Asgard Empire. From the First Prince Odin Asgard, I have sad news for you all.”

The opponent that Rhode and Kenya will fight against.

First Prince Odin Ásgard.

The man closest to the ruler in this world today.

The words he uttered sent tremors through the world.

“My beloved sister Yumir is dead. She was killed by the Asiatic Union in a despicable trap.”

—- What are you talking about? Yumir died in Japan.

Kenya knows the truth, even the real truth.

So he knows that everything Odin says is a lie.

Then he clenches his fists, hard, hits the desk, and Odin shouts.

“I will surely take revenge. I will avenge that vile confederacy! To make their screams the requiem of my sister!”

His eyes carry the fire of false anger.
