A man was flying swiftly through the sky, his dragon-like wings flapping rapidly behind him, creating tremendous wind pressure.

This person, who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, was covered in blood as he flew towards the border of the empire.

"Huff...huff...huff..."

The panting man continued flying forward at an extremely fast speed.

The dense black runes around his neck, which resembled decorative collars, had almost all turned transparent, leaving only faint dark marks visible – clearly not a good omen.

This is because it indicates the depletion of runic bonds, and he is currently being pursued.

"Third Wing Pillar - Dimensional Monster - Wingspan!"

Almost at the same time the man slowed down due to insufficient spells, such a female voice came from the distant sky...

The man only had a chance to turn his head, but he didn't have the strength to dodge the fragments flying from the seemingly transparent wings behind the other party.

Like countless shards of broken glass, the broken wing fragments, after slashing his body, transformed into transparent iron chains connecting space itself to the man's body, binding him in a spread-eagle position in the sky.

"Ha ha……"

"Huff... huff..."

The two of them breathed heavily as they recovered their strength.

Both the man and the woman hovering opposite him had densely packed runes around their necks, indicating that they shared the same profession: a profession created by Ira, exclusive to the Empire.

[Consul]

At this moment, the man's runes had almost all turned transparent, but the woman still had black runes on half of her neck...

"Hoo... Let me go, Hedy Lin."

The man, who was regaining his strength, said this, while the woman who was tied up and facing him looked very nervous.

She was preparing for battle very seriously, just as if she were the one who was at a disadvantage.

"That's impossible, Lord Ira..."

The woman, known as Hedylin, said this, and as a fellow governor, she had to take the bound Ira in front of her very seriously.

"This is Her Majesty the Queen's decree. Lady Ira, you should return to the Empire..."

Hedy Lin said this, her orders being to bring Ira back.

"Use your brain and think about it, how could her handwriting be so bad?!"

"If she could write such ugly words, her father would crawl up from the ground and beat her," Ira Elkaras said with a sigh.

"..."

Heidi Lin remained silent for a while, but still tried to persuade her: "Teacher, even if you go back, no one can do anything to you... Just go back and explain clearly."

This was once his student, but she obeyed the Queen's orders first, even more than he did... This was rare in the Empire.

In fact, Ira had never told anyone that he was not a native of this world, but a transmigrator from [Blue Star].

In this world where magic, magical power, magic crystals, and monsters exist, Ira became a glorious mage, and then, for some reason, became a very powerful archmage.

Then, for some extraordinary reasons, he became the world's first "Consul," or rather...

At that time, his position was consul and tutor to the current queen, so this "profession" was also called consul.

Many things happened afterward, including turning the tide of the war against the demons and popularizing the [Governor] profession. Apart from not trying to develop the livelihood and basic technology trees, Ira used the wisdom of her previous life to make many efforts in this world.

It's quite normal for some of Ira's ideas to anger the nobles, because coming from a wonderful era, some of his thoughts were bound to clash with those of the princes and nobles.

However, he himself, his own Iraqi faction was one of the largest noble families, and he had thought that he had reached some kind of tacit understanding with Grand Duke Caligula of the noble faction...

But it turned out that it didn't.

"It probably isn't Caligula... Although that bastard is my enemy, he wouldn't do anything that might anger me, so it can only be one of his other stupid nobles."

Bound by the chains of the void, Ira muttered a helpless complaint under his breath. He really didn't understand this... Tearing off the mask would not benefit either side.

"If only Uther were still alive, Isabella is still too naive..."

Iraq sighed.

"Lady Ira, even if you are Her Majesty the Queen's teacher, it's still inappropriate to say that..."

As Hedy Lin spoke, she sensed something and said, "You said that there is a price to pay for us governors to use the power of monsters, which can lead to greater emotional instability and mutation, so we must remain calm."

The meaning of these words is quite clear: they hope Iraq will calm down.

Do you know how long I work each day?

Iraq asked this question...

Hedy Lin knew, about twenty hours ago.

But Ira didn't give her a chance to answer and immediately asked again:

"If I obediently return to the Empire, things will be very difficult for me, His Highness, and the non-radical nobles...

Heidi Lin couldn't quite understand this. She couldn't comprehend what compromise and exchange of interests meant... and therefore couldn't understand the complex relationship between the Iraqi faction and the aristocratic faction.

"Look, so many students are chasing after me, but most of them just pretend and wear me down before I give up. Only you stubbornly chased me all the way here, right?"
