Though my strength doesn’t match the Kingdom’s Warlord, nor can I defeat those Steel-rank adventurers, and I haven’t even reached the Heroic Realm of humanity—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still, I am a soldier of the empire, and I could never desert in the face of battle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nipul is the same. We’ve already sent our families to safety. As for us, we will fight alongside Your Majesty until our final breath!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, if not for Your Majesty’s extraordinary promotion of us, we wouldn’t be who we are today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Bahud’s words, Gilknifer forced a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As emperor of the empire, I have the duty to perish with the Bahas Empire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you and your comrades have no such duty—go with your families.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I first promoted you Four Knights, I already said it clearly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I value your abilities, not your loyalty or lineage. If you wish to leave, you may—just like Reinas did.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Gilknifer so despondent, Bahud, usually seen as simple-minded, suddenly grew angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Emperor Gilknifer! You should look in a mirror and see what you’ve become!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A monarch has the duty to die with his nation—then as knights, we have the duty to die alongside our sovereign!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once, you were full of vigor, confident in every action you took.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why now do you choose to abandon yourself? I know the enemy is strong—truly despair-inducing in strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But open your eyes! The people and knights of the Bahas Empire still believe in you. What have you done in return for their trust?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Bahud’s fury, Gilknifer’s long-suppressed pressure erupted at once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think I want to give up? Do you think I’m willing to be a king of a fallen nation? But every possible solution has been tried!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those monsters aren’t just strong—they’re incredibly clever. Every move I make is within Ainz Ooal Gown’s calculations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Bahas Empire simply cannot resist the Magic Kingdom’s advance…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Gilknifer finished speaking, Bahud drew his broadsword and held its blade like a mirror before Gilknifer’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Emperor, look at yourself—do you still resemble the proud, confident Blood Emperor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To fear before battle, to sink into despair—even if the Bahas Empire falls, at least we fought with blood and honor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or has the once-mighty emperor now decided to surrender before the battle even begins, kneeling before the enemy and offering his neck for the blade?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gilknifer stared at his reflection in Bahud’s blade—hair disheveled, eyes filled with blood, spirit utterly broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Gilknifer opened his mouth to speak, a rhythmic clapping echoed suddenly in his and Bahud’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a man standing by the window of the emperor’s study—when had he appeared?—Bahud instantly snatched Gilknifer’s sword and, fulfilling his knightly duty, shielded the emperor behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you? An assassin sent by Ainz Ooal Gown? Or a killer dispatched by those noble traitors who seek to profit from our fall?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But no matter who you are, as long as I, Lightning Blast Bahud, still live, not a single hair on Your Majesty’s head will be harmed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Bahud’s threat, the man seated by the window paid no mind—he simply leapt down from the sill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked at Gilknifer and Bahud and said: “Apologies for eavesdropping on your conversation just now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You must be one of the empire’s famed Four Knights, correct?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for your strength, I’ll leave that aside—but your words and actions just now are worthy of the knight’s name.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The famed Blood Emperor, however, has disappointed me. Though we’ve never met, I’ve long admired the empire’s emperor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, I’ve spoken so much and forgotten to introduce myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My name is Shengzai Trans Ignar Leir Vanshuf. I am the third prince of the R. Ye Sitijie Kingdom. I apologize for this sudden intrusion—please don’t take offense, Your Majesty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Shengzai’s introduction, Gilknifer and Bahud both froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kingdom’s third prince—Gilknifer and his men were well aware of him; in fact, they’d heard countless rumors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among neighboring nations, this prince and Emperor Gilknifer were long called the “Twin Paragons” of the continent’s finest young men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet for various reasons, though they’d both heard tales of each other, this was their first actual meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The famed third prince of the kingdom arrives at the Bahas Empire in this manner—what is your purpose?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Prince Shengzai, have you come to mock our empire? Or to see the fallen emperor before his kingdom perishes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a stranger present—especially one whose reputation rivaled his own—Gilknifer swept away his earlier despair and showed the dignity befitting a monarch before his rival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve long been curious about the Blood Emperor and wished to meet you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you’re no beautiful maiden of a golden age—I wouldn’t be so childish as to travel far just to mock you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m here because I came to attend Your Majesty’s ‘Council of Nations.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Don’t tell me Your Majesty doesn’t welcome me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop joking! Even mockery has limits! Your kingdom has already decided to form a friendly alliance with the Magic Kingdom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now you come here talking about attending the ‘Council of Nations’? Do you think I have no temper at all?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In response to Gilknifer’s angry outburst, Shengzai remained calm: “The kingdom’s alliance with the Magic Kingdom has nothing to do with me, the King of the Subhuman Nations.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",991,"2026-06-19T15:18:35.208Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f7f452b711abb38fb0c003301ebc0a497ddfbe60c1176b4821a7379adaa351ce","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-563","simultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-chapter-561",587,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsimultaneously-transmigrated-starting-off-invinc-cover.jpg"]
