Antihero In the Hero Academy: I Can Connect the Past Heroes-Chapter 131: Something I Didn’t Fell In A Long Time

"As you can see, Your Majesty, even though I have two main reasons for coming here, I am sure that you do not want the people of this country to be oppressed any longer. Please, let me sort everything out for you."

"I will change the Kingdom for you."

As Atlas said these words, King Leo suddenly stood up and then said in an excited yet angry manner, "Poisoning cases, kidnappings and many more...Liam was the one who helped us, but it was Liam himself...."

Without even finishing his own words, he turned to the nobles around him and shouted, "Rise up, I want every one of you to march in the name of death, I command you as your king!"

Atlas turned to Emma and said, "You know what to do, Emma."

Emma instantly shook her head and then said, "My name is Emma, I am a knight of magic who has left my old surname behind and entered the service of my lord. Please give me your mage guild, your majesty. In the name of my lord Atlas Shorekeeper, I swear to destroy every single activity of Liam the Merchant in this country before I leave this country."

As Emma uttered these words, one of the young men standing behind King Leo stepped forward and said, "I knew it! You are Lady Emma. Eva Shorekeeper’s right hand woman, right?"

This was the 24-year-old crown prince William himself.

Emma shook her head when she heard these words and then said, "I serve my lord now, but yes, Eight-Grade wizard Emma, I am at your service."

Of course, no one had heard of Emma. The fact that she had left her noble surname and entered Atlas’ service was even more incredible.

Emma, one of the most excellent sorceresses in the entire Empire, under the Emperor’s own command.

"The fact that you can even have such a lady under your command...You are truly incredible, Mr Shorekeeper. Please, if what you say is right, if you really offer to help us, I will give you all the permissions." King Leo suddenly said.

With that, King Leo immediately took out two coats of arms from the magic bag attached to his waist and gave them to Atlas and Emma with the help of William.

"These two crests symbolise that you have the special permission of the Royal Family and that there is no door you cannot open and no place you cannot enter in this kingdom. Please help us," King Leo added and bowed his head slightly, unexpectedly.

Atlas stood up abruptly and was about to say that there was no need for such a thing, just like the Royal Family, when Leo suddenly spoke:

"If you have the power and authority to shut down the lawless area itself, and if you are really planning to help us regardless of anything, the only thing I can do for you is to bow my head in front of you as a King. But you can use me, the King, if you want!"

With Leo’s words, he slammed his head on the table.

"But...Please save my people, the only people I have inherited from my ancestors."

With King Leo’s words, Atlas realised that a feeling had entered his body that had not been felt by humanity for a long, long time.

He had no reason to help this kingdom. He only wished to make an attempt to close the paths of slavery in the future and take control of the kingdom, but right now...he couldn’t help but admire it. And in that case to save his old friend from slavery.

After a very, very long time, he had heard such pure words from a person with so much power in his hands. He knew he had never heard them from anyone, not even in his previous life.

Atlas realised once again that he was looking at the king...the man who had been tortured by angel worshippers and hanged for tens of hours in the square of the kingdom for the mere promise of saving his people.

Immediately, he clenched his hands with excitement and a single feeling went through his mind...a feeling that had not been felt by another human being for a long time....

[Hope]

The feeling that could erase one’s rank, one’s thoughts, one’s pain, and even one’s very existence, but that made Atlas wonder when he had last seen such purity in humans.

At that moment, Atlas had done something he had never done in front of the Epsilon Emperor Aether or even the Sage of Eternity Cordelia.

He bowed his head in front of King Leo and said, "I pledge my name and my existence that I will do my best," with complete and utter reverence for a member of the very humanity he hated.

Even the look on Emma’s face told everyone that Atlas had never done this before.

Even Atlas was surprised that he did such a thing of his own volition, but he had only one thing in mind and was not afraid to say it out loud:

"If someone is not close to me and yet deserves all my respect, I am even willing to prostrate myself before him. You truly bear the names given to you, King Leo. As of today, you are under the protection of Atlas Shorkeeper, Fourth Duke of the Epsilon Empire."

Atlas shook his head as he spoke these words and then said, "If any of the nobles here wish to follow me right now and bring their knights with them, prepare yourselves. I give you one hour, we will bring law to the lawless area."

With these words of his, literally every noble sitting in the room, regardless of their gender and race, rose up and then left the room as they bowed to their king.

King Leo could hardly keep himself from weeping. Every one of the nobles he had worried about going behind his back had mobilised to help the kingdom.

The kingdom of Akairon, where nobles, bandits and outlaws ruled better than nobles, was instantly transformed.
