Girl Hero: Revenge on Goblins!

"Hmm hmm hmm hm—" The Depraved Hero's mouth was stuffed with cake, protesting incoherently. The free hand still found time to squeeze and pat the Little Slime's head, yet didn't resist being led away.

The Old Dragon Emperor watched silently, with a slight smile on his face.

"A very understanding Familiar, is it nurtured by your Magic Power?"

Being called 'Mother' by a Slime should have been quite perplexing, but as the Emperor with a vast harem of three thousand, with many alien consorts, he was accustomed to such oddities.

The Hero chuckled, acknowledging it, and then picked up a piece of cake and put it in her mouth.

After nodding in satisfaction at the sweet taste melting on her tongue, she was the first to ask.

"After going back today, what plans does Your Majesty have?"

Although not stated outright, the Hero believed the other could discern the underlying meaning of her question.

In reality, the Ninety-fifth Dragon Emperor—who was also the "Father Emperor" to the Little Princess—had already burned out years ago.

Sitting before her at this moment was the Old Dragon Emperor, who was actually played by that Imperial Sister, the Fate's imperial daughter.

To maintain the Imperial Theater's operation and resist the Wandering Theater's erosion, someone had to act as "King Xin," burning themselves with each generation, playing the role of the Emperor.

But some time ago, the Martial Monk of the First Emperor had already been freed, and the significance of the Northern Empire Theater, that thousand-year-old wish, had been fulfilled.

Yet, due to the prolonged entanglement between that country and the Wandering Theater, it was inevitable that the Old Dragon Emperor remained on the throne, even though his "armored" status could have been lifted.

But now, with the curtain falling on the Dream of Dusk, even this concern has been eradicated.

The third seat of the theater reserved for the Northern Emperor was destroyed and rebuilt, falling into the Hero's hands.

Though everything in the dream turned to dust and seemed never to have happened, the aftermath of that apocalypse indeed shook the foundation of the Wandering Theater in reality.

And the Imperial Sister, possessing Huishuo Destiny Authority, should be able to learn some of the dream's history through the connection with the Wandering Theater.

Since the third act is complete, the present Northern Empire no longer needs to burn "firewood," allowing the nonexistent Emperor to continue his performance.

The Imperial Sister is still young, and upon lifting the armor, she can live for many years due to the Dragonborn lineage. Even if her power temporarily wanes, one day she'll return to the Ultimate Shift.

Still, even though she merely returns to her original identity, it involves the massive affair of changing imperial power, even the life and death of the Emperor, which is not as simple as changing attire.

Thus, the Hero is unsure of what the other plans to do, which is why she asks.

For it's likely to be the last meeting with this "Dragon Emperor" before her.

"Plans..." The Old Dragon Emperor met the Hero's clear and transparent Emerald Eyes and pondered.

A moment later, he sighed and his aging voice carried a sense of long-lost relief.

"Indeed, it's about time for me to abdicate."

"Is that so." Hearing this, the Hero blossomed into a genuine smile, "Then congratulations."

Next, she asked with keen interest, "Who are you planning to choose as the next emperor? The Empire doesn't have a Crown Prince yet, does it?"

Hearing this question, the Old Dragon Emperor's eyes took on a peculiar expression.

While in the nearby living room, the Depraved Hero, who was using the Little Slime as a cushion and watching the Demon Shadow play, pouted.

'You say I'm rude, yet your questions aren't exactly normal.'

However, the Old Dragon Emperor similarly didn't mind the offense, only coughed lightly and spoke calmly: "I suppose... it will be someone familiar to you."

"Oh oh." The Hero got his hint and nodded.

Although the Old Dragon Emperor had many offspring, due to age disparities, the Little Princess always roamed alone in the palace, familiar only with the Imperial Sister.

This is expected. Rather than selecting a successor from those Princes, it's better to let the Imperial Sister, who was already Emperor, become Empress, transitioning from behind the curtain to the forefront, more assuring a stable transition of power.

Even though the Empire never had a precedent of an Empress, her path to re-ascension will surely proceed smoothly with the Ancient Dragon Power she possesses.

"What about you?" Seeing the Hero's genuine joy for him, the Old Dragon Emperor couldn't help but smile.

"Although you've become the official Saintess, it seems you don't have many obligations. Aren't you planning to look around the Empire?"

The Hero's expression showed slight interest, but she quickly shook her head.

"...Hmm, probably not for a short while."

"Indeed." The Dragon Emperor thought of something, nodded, "Having just stepped into the Palace Domain, you probably need some time to familiarize yourself with your new powers."

Unlike breaking through to Legendary, the Palace is not a transformation of life form, so it doesn't require a long slumber like the Heavenly Full Ceremony.

But just like a newly built house needing a round of decoration and furnishing, after breaking through to the Palace, professionals still need time to master their new powers. Even Magicians can't skip this process.

"That's part of the reason. But..." The Hero first nodded, then shook her head again, changing her expression to one of seriousness, "After that, I have even more important matters to attend to. So, for now, there's no time for a vacation."

"...I see." The Dragon Emperor was slightly taken aback, then his gaze showed a hint of approval, speaking thoughtfully, "A so-called Saintess must be someone like you."

Though the Empire's crisis has been resolved, the Wandering Theater itself hasn't stopped operating, not to mention the world-ending calamity remains unidentified...

Even though the Northern Country Theater's emperor's mission has ended, for the girl before him, her mission might just be beginning.

"Your Majesty flatters me." The Hero replied shyly.

Sending the last piece of mini-cake into her mouth, savoring the sweetness lingering, the Old Dragon Emperor slowly stood up.

"Well, I won't disturb you any longer."

The Hero hurriedly stood up to see him off, but the Dragon Emperor merely waved his hand.

"Meeting like this is likely the last time... But even if you can't visit our country anytime soon, remember one thing."

He turned to leave, pausing by the door, leaving behind words as light as a feather yet heavy as a mountain.

"—The Empire will always be your support."

The Hero was slightly taken aback, then revealed an incomparably gentle smile.

"...Mm."

She stood quietly, watching the Old Dragon Emperor's figure disappear behind the door.
