Episode 199
the emperor asked.
“The ‘coronation day’ when I sat on the throne of heaven. You two didn’t show up. “Did you have any urgent business?”
“Well, we couldn’t go, but I know your father attended…”
td •
“Are they pretending not to know, or are they really idiots who don’t know?”
“I will ask you one last question. “I asked if there was any urgent business that prevented you from attending my coronation ceremony.”
“Answer me quickly!”
The twin princes flinched at the knights’ shouting.
No matter how weak they were, this was not the level of disrespect shown to the princes of a country.
Even if he draws his sword right now and fights against his own princes, it won’t be enough.
However, some of the subjects around him
I couldn’t scold him for this rudeness.
With a very frightened face, he just trembles and looks around.
At that time, the twin princes realized for the first time.
‘Oh, it was just this much.’
authority as a prince.
Respect built up.
A position of glory.
All of these things were so useless that they would fall apart at the emperor’s single question.
“… … Well, urgent business. Uh, there wasn’t one.”
“It seems to me that the king, who bowed his head and smiled like a traitor and swore loyalty to me, and you idiots think very differently.”
Incompetent, treacherous, idiot.
Although each of them was an unbearable insult, it was this that made them most miserable.
‘There’s nothing you can do.’
They don’t have the courage or strength to rebuke this rude behavior that is behaving against them.
The courage to stand up to the emperor in front of me
That there is nothing.
All that’s left is a small pride that I don’t want to give in to anymore.
The worst weak country in history.
Who can you blame?
They are the ones who brought the country to this point.
“You’ve grown a lot, you idiots.”
As the twin princes held on without kneeling, the knights of the empire moved.
It meant that he would kneel before the emperor, even if by force, and only then did the Golden Knight
Dan tried to move.
However, even that was thwarted.
“The Emperor wants to talk. “If it moves even a little.”
You will understand what follows without having to say it.
They cannot defeat the knights of the empire, and a storm of blood will rage in the palace.
If that happens, it’s not just you who gets hurt.
Princes.
The king who will carry this country in the future
They will all get hurt together.
That’s why the Golden Knights had to bow their heads without doing anything.
I masturbated because this was a way to protect everyone.
“… … “Let go!”
1st Prince Croster Ledian tried to resist, mustering all the courage he had, but it was no use.
coup
He had to hit his head on the floor in shame in front of everyone, and when the second prince saw this, he cried out of anger.
It was
But nothing will change if you cry.
“I’ll give you two options. It is either surrender or death. No matter how much of a jerk you are, you probably know this well. “You have a choice, but it’s not as good as not having one.”
Learn about the future through history.
We have already learned about the history of the Holy See and the price of refusal.
Surrender, death.
Forced to make two choices, but unable to find the right answer anywhere
Stuck problem.
Grumbling.
A trickle of blood flowed from the twin princes’ foreheads.
The blood stains dyed the national bird, the golden sunbird, painted on his lapel, red.
I can’t believe that a royal family that had been around for hundreds of years could end in vain like this.
Where did it really go wrong?
“Answer me.”
Sreung! Slurp!
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the imperial knights drew their swords.
It meant that if he were to be urged one more time, he would take the heads of the servants and maids who were trembling in fear.
Among two options with no correct answer, only one answer was forced.
Quad deuk!
1 The prince bit down so hard that his teeth broke.
The body was clearly shaking with fear, but the eyes were not dead.
No, rather, it is coming back to life.
From the look in your eyes that says you will hand over the country, and that you will hold on to it until the end.
The Emperor, who felt the same determination as the ‘Pope’, frowned.
Then he mumbled as if he didn’t understand.
“Why, it was so easy to kneel to the previous emperor. “Why has it become so heavy now?”
I was curious.
Why, why on earth.
Why did it change?
“… … “Aren’t you afraid of me?”
Why aren’t you afraid of yourself?
A great emperor who will devour the world as one
Jeddah.
Even though he is much crueler and less considerate than the previous emperor.
Why isn’t he more afraid of himself than the previous emperor?
Why not show respect?
Rather, does this mean that you can look at me with eyes full of hostility?
The answer to that question was given by Second Prince Foster Ledian.
“Wow, it’s scary. But, the previous emperor was a person with ‘common sense’ who knew how to respect even princes of weak countries, right? Stylish and worthy of respect
He was also a person with however… … “Not you.”
” what?”
“You want a country? Or die? What kind of bullshit sound like that! No matter how crazy you swing your sword! Not even half as good as the previous emperor… … Ugh!”
Prince 1 hurriedly covered his mouth in response to Prince 2’s angry shout, as if the anger he had been suppressing exploded.
However, the first prince also glared at the emperor with eyes filled with anger.
“Our knees have become heavy now.
you. Do you understand now?”
He inherited everything from the previous emperor, but he failed to inherit one thing.
That’s right, how to elicit respect.
Something similar can be achieved with spears and swords, but that’s just fear disguised as respect.
‘I am worse than your father.’
This was an offense that should never be touched by the current emperor.
“Respect for me. Take it by force
mind.”
The emperor stretched out his arms.
I’ve never held a sword in my life, so why have I been picking up a sword like this lately?
That’s because I needed a place to express this rising anger.
As the sword was raised in the emperor’s hand, the twin princes’ eyes widened.
As the emperor’s eyes flashed with madness, everyone around him gasped.
It was at that time that the emperor, with an expressionless face, was about to swing his sword at the twin princes.
“..2”
Yep-! Damn it!
In an instant, the sword the emperor was holding broke and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, the knights who were guarding the emperor were struck by a ‘shock wave’ and instantly fell into a state of suspended animation.
Although it happened in an instant, the emperor’s expression as he looked at this subject did not show the slightest embarrassment.
Rather, the corner of his mouth twitched as if he had met a welcome guest.
“I was waiting. Ruin Ardel.”
* * *
“Princes, wake up.”
“Lord Ruin… … Oh no! Tower owner!”
“You managed to endure it well. “You must have been scared.”
The twin princes stumbled, clutching their shaking legs.
They were still trembling with fear, but there was ‘faith’ in their eyes towards me.
A faith that will take you out of this misfortune.
I pushed the princes back and looked at the emperor in front of me.
“You said you were waiting for me.”
“I was expecting to meet like this. By the way, did you come alone?”
” yes.”
“… … “That’s surprising.”
Schomertan Reinak.
When I first met him at the banquet hall in Daejejeon, the crown prince looked ‘perfect.’
The unique arrogance of saying no to rejection is not just arrogant, but rather good-natured.
I thought it was ringing.
I couldn’t sympathize with his idea that money is everything, but I didn’t think he was a bad person.
Although he was unlucky when he treated me like a ‘toy’ and tried to collect me, I can’t say that I didn’t really benefit from him.
Although it was only for a short time, I thought he was a pretty nice person.
Exactly, back when I was the crown prince… … .
It’s different now.
“Do you know that?”
?”
“You look very anxious.”
The emperor remained expressionless.
But, I can tell.
How greatly he is shaken by this single word.
okay.
He looked anxious.
Than when he pushed out all his brothers with his own abilities and maintained his position as crown prince.
Much more.
The ‘Emperor’ who has everything in the world
However, it looked precarious as if it would break at the slightest touch.
“Are you anxious because things aren’t going the way you want them to?”
A perfectionist close to perfection.
A collector who must have all the jewels he wants.
There was a flaw in the word ‘perfection’.
It couldn’t have me or destroy me.
As his intention was to reign over everyone through ‘fear’, things turned around.
It doesn’t work.
The Vatican chose death.
The twin princes chose to rebel.
Even if you hold a knife to his throat, the opponent is not afraid of you and instead tries to fight back.
That’s why I get angry like this.
The emperor smiled slightly and nodded obediently.
“Well, it’s not wrong. Honestly, I don’t know. “Why aren’t you afraid of me?”
“I was pushed to the edge of a cliff. back
“When it comes to sound quality, it’s a cliff, so what’s more to be afraid of?”
“Did you say that even a rat will bite a cat if it is cornered? That’s exactly what it is. Okay, I enjoyed the political science lecture. But, do I seem like a soft-spoken person to the point of being swayed by those emotions?”
“no. Rather, it is so hard that I am concerned that it will break.”
“It is my belief to choose something that breaks rather than something that bends.”
“No matter who the opponent is, I always protect what is important to me. “That is my belief.”
“We each have beliefs that we must keep.
“There is this.”
“yes. “I will never give in.”
“It’s 20,000. If just one signal spell is fired, the 20,000 troops waiting nearby will attack the capital. Countless innocent lives will die, and the capital will burn brightly. “Isn’t it too high a price to pay for keeping that belief?”
It has to collide.
He is in front of me for that purpose.
There is no need to be afraid.
Because I have a lot of good friends I can rely on.
“It would definitely be difficult if we fought head on. However, the Emperor will force his troops back.”
“Woe, Your Majesty!”
Yu..2”
“Perna! Perna’s armored cavalry has crossed the empire’s borders!”
At that moment, the emperor’s countenance suddenly changed as he received an urgent report.
I said, clenching my fists and glaring at the emperor.
“There is a saying that if you want peace, prepare for war.”
“Don’t be complacent. “The emperor is completely alone, but I am not alone.”
Bring on the troops.
That way, you live.
