All Power Wizard Part 2 Tower of the Demon God
Episode 020
“Are you Akan Prius?”
“… … Hum hum.”
Arkan Prius, who was called to the emperor’s barracks, hesitated, not knowing how to respond to the emperor who suddenly spoke.
“Answer me quickly!”
Then, at the adjutant’s hand gesture urging him to answer, he opened his mouth with difficulty.
“Hum hum, that’s right.
“..I”
The eyes of the surrounding subjects were greatly shaken by Akan Prius’s informal language.
“Oh, how dare you say that! “What a half-sentence!”
“If you are truly a citizen of the empire, be polite to His Majesty right now!”
When asked to be polite, Akan Prius cleared his throat and said.
“••••••yo. this.”
“Do it right!”
But the emperor raised his hand as if he didn’t care.
“It is done. The reason I asked to see you was because I received a report that the person who had made a significant contribution in the last two battles was a citizen of our empire. “If that’s true, there should be an award.”
“It wasn’t something I did specifically hoping for a reward.”
“••••••yo. this.”
At Akan Prius’s outrageous actions, some of his subjects’ eyes were wide open with foam at the mouth.
One of them was Lesion Bayton.
“Yes you bastard! Even if you’re a worm in the mountains who doesn’t know anything about etiquette, that’s true! “How can you talk to Your Majesty like that!”
Lesion Baton hated the fact that the emperor showed interest in Akan Prius.
If the Akan Prius’s skills are really 9 stars… … .
Because you will no longer be the sun of the empire.
But Akan Prius didn’t even look at Lesion like this.
“How dare this guy ignore me… … !”
“Anyway, I don’t need the award, so can I go back?”
“Why are you rejecting the prize without even hearing what it is?”
“Because the reason I participated in the war was not grand. My son-in-law and my daughter. It was to protect my family… … . Moreover, I don’t want to have even the slightest relationship with my royal family.”
“This guy has been talking to your Majesty since a while ago… … !”
” stop.”
The Emperor spoke, looking only at the Akan Prius.
“I don’t want to have even the slightest relationship with the royal family…” … . “Is that related to the history of the Prius family?”
“… … “You seem to know everything, so please don’t ask.”
“If you feel bad, so be it.”
“then.”
The emperor asked again toward Akan Prius, who was about to turn his back.
“Are your accomplishments really worthy of the Nine Stars?”
“… … It seems like you have a lot of questions for me. Well, I don’t know much, but people call it that.”
“I heard that all of my grown sons are masters of the 8 stars.”
“There are still many shortcomings.”
“Right.”
The emperor recalled his old hobby, which he had temporarily forgotten due to the war.
Jewel collection.
He was a person who had to be embraced when he saw a talented person.
Of course, we have experienced several recent events.
Although that hobby has faded… … .
Taste itself does not change.
“Are your sons’ thoughts the same as yours?”
“… … “What do you mean?”
“I want to build a wall with the royal family. “Isn’t it possible that there may be at least one person who wants to take power in their hands?”
“Now, are you threatening me to give up my sons?”
For a moment, anger flashed through Akan Prius’s eyes, and the Emperor raised his hand as if telling him to calm down.
“It’s a simple suggestion. Haven’t you already had one foot in power anyway?”
“I can assure you that the Prius has never dipped its toes into power.”
“Do you think that the marriage between your wife and the owner of the tower has nothing to do with power?”
“Ardel is already an independent country. Only the names are different, but you become members of the royal family. From that point on, it is already a matter of taking on a lot of power. If you didn’t know this, you wouldn’t bother turning your head and not hearing it.
“It looks like he’s just ignoring me.”
Akan Prius could not refute the emperor’s words.
They are already exerting influence on this world.
It is also ridiculous to insist that I will not hold power now and that I am not greedy.
Furthermore… … .
“1 million gold.”
u । n
“This is the minimum ransom for each of you, and I am willing to pay several times this.
there is.”
If only they were in a place that truly recognized their value.
Even more so.
“I value talent. If there is an outstanding talent, we promise to treat them commensurate with their abilities. This does not mean betraying the tower owner or breaking trust. Just after the war was over. “I just hope that you can safely get married and meet me one more time on your way back home.”
“ Phew••••••
I can’t accept the Akan Prius
There was no.
Is the emperor, after all, an emperor?
“Now I understand why my ancestors made that choice.”
He’s trying to trick himself so that he can’t even think of retorting.
It was such a sweet temptation that I was ready to put my stamp on the contract.
Therefore, the Akan Prius took a step back.
“So, you’re not saying you’re going to open the way for our Prius to escape?”
“Wouldn’t your ancestors, who turned a blind eye to the light of power, also want their descendants to be active in the heart of the empire?”
“Of course, that could happen. Hehe, I’m such an uneducated person that I don’t know much, but… I know this one thing for sure.
oh.”
“what?”
“It’s true that there are two types of people who talk a lot. One is a scammer. Another one, less of a crook.”
U | «
“Oh, no, that…” … !”
The emperor also seemed to be just as amazing.
The emperor who controls the empire with just a word is a fraud?
The impact of these words was enormous, and Knight Commander Lesion Beton, who was nearby, knelt down on one knee and spoke.
“Lesion Bayton, the loyal emperor’s sword! I will immediately cut down that bastard who insulted Your Majesty! Please allow it!”
“… … “Can you cut it down?”
“Eh, yes?”
“I asked if you could really cut down a 9-star expert.”
“Well, of course it’s possible… …
“Your voice is shaking. “It’s not worth listening to anymore.”
The emperor looked away without hearing the answer, and Akan Prius continued speaking.
“Well, it didn’t mean that the emperor was a fraud. “Anyway, my answer is no.”
“Rejected, why?”
“When it comes to money, I still have enough money to not be lacking. “I am very satisfied with my life in Ardel now.”
“I can promise you ten times that satisfaction.”
“Whether it is 10 times or 100 times. Satisfaction is not something you can buy with money. Spending a little more time with the people you like. “That’s the real satisfaction.”
The emperor realized that he had felt something similar before.
Ruin Ardel.
Even when I received numerous rejections from him, I felt a similar feeling of frustration.
However, there is one more person who cannot be satisfied with money.
When I thought about that, I burst out laughing.
“As expected, is that son-in-law his father-in-law?”
“… … “What did you just say?”
“It’s nothing. It doesn’t seem like that will happen, but if you change your mind, come visit me at any time. “I promise you infinite gold and wealth.”
“Thank you for your words. then.”
As Akan Prius turned his back and left the barracks, Lesion Bayton shouted as if he had been waiting.
“your majesty! Are you just sending that disloyal bastard away like this? Please allow me to draw my sword!”
Then, the emperor spoke to Lesion with very indifferent eyes.
“Lord Lesion. Why do you think I called you here with me?”
“Well, that’s… …
“If you are truly a knight protecting the emperor, reflect on today’s events.”
Lesion Bayton.
All he could do was flutter his mouth, but he couldn’t even draw his sword against someone who insulted the emperor.
He already thought that he was an opponent he could not defeat.
The emperor noticed that.
“Did you feel a wall against the Akan Prius? If that were the case, he should have cut down the wall. Even if a knight’s sword breaks or his wrists become numb. He should have drawn his sword.”
“Keep in mind. A knight weak to the emperor
“There is no need.”
“Jo, my name!”
It was tested.
How will the leader of the Knights Templar, known as the Sun of the Empire, react to the 9-star expert?
The result is a crushing defeat.
“Tsk ah
There is this guy and that guy, and there is no one I like.
If you like it, it’s all by Ruin Ardel’s side.
he thought.
“… … “Am I like that too?”
Perhaps, the emperor himself is also by Ruin Ardel’s side.
* * ♦
Arkan Prius, who had left the emperor’s barracks, stood looking at the sky for a long time.
He had a refreshed face, as if he had resolved an old wish.
“Did you see it? “The emperor fidgeting in front of the Prius?”
Of course, Sky didn’t answer, but Akan Prius smiled as if he had heard the answer.
“Giggles! Are you satisfied with this? You can’t kill an innocent Reinark just to avenge an ancestor you don’t even know. He’s my son-in-law’s friend… … . It’s enough to speak informally to the emperor once. LOL!”
After clearing his mind, he walked at a lighter pace.
In front of him, his three grown sons were waiting.
“Father! Why did it take so long?
yo. this?”
“What does the emperor say? “They gave me one seat?”
In response to his sons’ questions, Akan Prius smiled and said,
“They say they’ll give you 1 million gold. That too per person. “I heard you’re ready to give up your position as commander-in-chief if I just say the word.”
“to? “Well, well, so?”
“Of course you agreed, right?”
“Of course I refused. How do you feel? “Are you proud of this father?”
“I beg your pardon? refuse?”
“Oh my, my head… … . How dare you turn down such a huge offer. “I’m not proud, I’m resentful!”
“that’s right! You should have thought about our future too! “I didn’t know, I knew we were incredibly strong, so how could we live stuck in the mountains again!”
Akan Prius lost his appetite due to his sons’ onslaught.
“Then, shall we go back in?”
“Come on!”
“But you still have respect as a father. there
If you make one or three more offers, I’m thinking of pretending I can’t win… …
“ah! What about face! “Please come in quickly!”
“I can’t do that!”
Akan Prius began to run away, and his sons chased him fiercely.
