"Ei, eight thousand...lady, are you sure that it's eight thousand?"

To the Emperor's question, I answered brightly, "Yes!"

"I made it with Veronica! Do you know who she is?"

"Veronica Dubos."

I laughed inwardly when I saw the Emperor saying her name.

'Yes, of course you do know her.'

The current Emperor, Alexandre, who was the Crown Prince at that time, pardoned Veronica who almost blew up a whole province.

The Duke of Vallua who had a grim expression shouted,

"It's hard to believe that it was created by Veronica Dubos. And eight thousand kilometers is too much!"

He said while approaching the Emperor urgently.

"Think about it, His Majesty. It took us more than a hundred years to upgrade just three kilometers from the original."

"......"

"The human body can't withstand that, so we have to compress the space. Isn't it strange that she suddenly compressed a space of 8,000 kilometers?"

"......"

"8,000 kilometers means that the whole Empire has been compressed, and does it make sense that everything has been compressed?"

More people nodded, and the Emperor also held his forehead as if he was organizing his thoughts.

The Duke of Vallua looked at me.

"I understand your goodwill, but isn't it too much to lie for attention?"

"......"

"She obviously deceived His Majesty. She's looking down on you! Be on your knees and ask His Majesty for forgiveness!"

When I saw him shouting, I said,

"But it's true......it really is eight thousand kilometers."

"Why are you still insisting on something you can't prove!"

"I can prove it!"

I looked at the Emperor.

"You can ask Veronica to come here and she'll tell us!"

"Veronica Dubos herself..."

The Emperor said to his lieutenant.

"Where's her current location?"

"The Dubbled's mansion outside the capital city. I confirmed it before the banquet."

Veronica was obliged to wear a location tracker ever since the incident.

It would be a waste to kill her because of her skills, that's why they keep tabs on her instead.

The Emperor looked at my father.

Dad frowned and picked up a communication device in his arms.

During the short transmission, I sent a signal to the chairman through my communication device.

[Are you ready?]

The communication device blinked twice.

'Good.'

At the same time, dad received Veronica's answer on his device.

Suddenly, the ground vibrated and the center of the banquet hall was shaking badly. Soon someone appeared while being surrounded by light.
