All Power Wizard Episode 203
Amidst various rumors surrounding the emperor and the empire.
In fact, ‘Leverdine’, the capital of the Lynak Empire, was peaceful, as if it were in the eye of the storm.
“How can it be this quiet?”
“That’s right. When the emperor was in the Emperor’s Hall, there was not a single day when he did not see blood… … . There can be no peace like this without the emperor… …
“Uh-huh! What kind of disloyal talk are you talking about? You are the emperor of this country! The emperor, the center and root of the empire! The emperor is trapped in a small country and suffering all sorts of hardships! “How can you say such blasphemous words!”
“Hmm, I’m not saying this is a good time. “I just want to say that the emperor has gone too far.”
“That is disloyalty! How could you so shamelessly say such dangerous words that could sound like treason? … ”
“yes. I know how loyal the ball is. But let’s look at reality. There is no sharp number
Isn’t it? It is unreasonable to start a war. Didn’t you see it for yourself? They will unite among themselves and rush in like a moon, so what are you going to do?”
“yes. That is correct. War is impossible. If I had taken each step slowly and surely, this would not have happened, but now I have missed that time. The emperor was too hasty. Also, he was reckless.”
“Tsk. He was such a trustworthy person when he was young, but as soon as he became emperor, something strange happened… … . Tsk tsk.”
Emperor, Schomertan Reinach.
Faith in him has already been broken.
Although he had a cold and strange side, the Crown Prince was more promising than anyone else due to his clear brain and rational perspective… … .
Who would have known that as soon as he sat on the throne of heaven, he would turn into a tyrant?
“In addition, public sentiment is not good at the moment. Are you denying the Church of Frelia? More than half of the people of the empire are members of the Frelia Church. Isn’t this the same as saying that you are going to kill all the people of the empire? I worship at Frelia Shrine here.
“If there is anyone who doesn’t, please come out and see.”
“Moreover, I don’t know what kind of unreasonable demands they might make if I try to rescue the emperor! Isn’t it possible to accept all of that? “Are we going to have all our limbs cut off?”
If you ask them to save the emperor and send him back gracefully, it is obvious what kind of demand they will make.
It became increasingly difficult to find a reason to save the emperor while accepting various unreasonable demands.
This atmosphere gets worse day by day.
I got stronger.
It was after checking the letter that arrived from the ‘tower owner’ that the atmosphere came into focus.
“War crimes trial?”
“… … “We will hold a trial to declare the emperor a war criminal. Please attend?”
If he were a proper subject, it would have been right for him to get angry and tear the letter into pieces right away.
but.
Although it was not easy to say it out loud, everyone was in an atmosphere of joy whether they knew it or not.
Because there was another ‘alternative’ for them.
“Maybe it worked out better.”
The alternative came from the mouth of Maiden Vyblov, the ‘Great Sage’.
“Please accept it.”
“… … Let’s accept this?”
“That’s how the empire lasts. Attend the trial. And acknowledge the emperor as the criminal and claim that the crime was arbitrary. “You said you absolutely did not want to follow, but you had no choice because you were afraid of the emperor.”
“B-but that’s too…” … . Doesn’t that mean we should abandon the emperor?”
“You have to throw it away. “The bowl is broken, so you have to put new alcohol in a new bowl.”
The subjects sympathized with those words, but felt a shiver run down their spines.
Great Sage Maiden Byblov.
Before he was the prime minister of the empire and a great sage… … .
This is because the current emperor was an academic ‘teacher’ when he was the crown prince.
The word ‘throw it away’ came out so easily from the teacher’s mouth.
These were words that caused a strange sense of resistance even when the subjects heard them.
‘Anyway, you shouldn’t say that!’ Together.
However, no one objected.
Concealing the true feelings welling up in his throat, he sought the next opinion from a great sage who was known for his wisdom.
“Then, would it be a good idea to take on the vacant position of next emperor?”
“The celestial seat has already been decided by heaven. “It is a place where no one other than ‘Raynark’ can sit.”
“But the emperor currently has no children. He needs to find another Rynarch… … ah! no way!”
“yes. Khan, Kart. “The emperor has two older brothers.”
The previous emperor, Titan Reinak, had three sons.
Khan, the eldest.
The second child is Kart.
The third, Schomertan.
The emperor wanted them to qualify through ‘friendly competition’ for the crown prince position.
This competition was so short and easy that it ended.
The first category was a worm that was frustratingly slow to learn.
The second cart was of some use, but it was more suitable for a knight than an emperor.
Titan Reinark was frustrated, beating his chest, saying that his son’s farming had failed.
From that he/gege, ‘Shomertan’ was born.
A brilliant mind.
A competitive spirit that ensures victory no matter what method is used.
Even the right amount of greed to keep what you have.
As a crown prince, nothing was missing, and Schomertan naturally became the crown prince.
The first and second princes who lost the power struggle became deposed emperors and were driven out as if they were being exiled to a federal state.
It is retribution for the power that was eliminated.
“Then, what are those desolate people now?
What are you doing?”
“Khan, the eldest, does nothing. All he can do is play, eat, and get drunk with women in a palace-like house.”
“What about the second one?”
“I became a knight. According to the story, he lives his life hiding the fact that he is from the royal family.”
“Ho… … . In that case, you can meet the second cart. Wouldn’t it be better to have a second child who acts rather than a first child who plays and eats?”
“••… Tsk. “It’s because it doesn’t hit me like this.”
” yes?”
The great sage, Maiden Biblov, narrowed her eyes and spoke.
“Can you say something like that even after experiencing a smart emperor yourself?”
“… … ah! then.”
“The first khan must be promoted to the next emperor.”
In difficult times, true heroes emerge.
The idea is to dethrone the smart, warlike emperor and install a new, idiotic emperor.
Isn’t this the way to become a true hero in difficult times and to covet eternal power?
When the thought reached that point, the subjects raised their eyebrows.
“also! The Great Sage thinks differently!”
“… … Well, it’s nothing special.”
“Haha, that’s right! As usual, the eldest son should become the next emperor. “It’s not good if the order gets messed up.”
“I will meet Khan.”
“Yes, yes! Then, I will just trust and wait for you, Great Sage.”
Great Sage Maiden Byblov.
He looked west with the face of a traitor disguised as a loyal subject.
In his mind, the face of his student ‘Shomertan’ was passing by.
‘You crossed the line. ‘Shomertan.’
I soon brushed it off lightly.

“Are you enjoying your meal? If you eat it so well, why haven’t you even ate it before?”
“Well, isn’t it time to get hungry?”
“I want to take a shower.”
” yes?”
” Is it possible?”
Of course, there are no separate bathing facilities in the dungeon.
But I nodded lightly.
“yes. It’s possible. “Someone please do me a favor.”
The Emperor stood up, and I opened the prison door with the key.
The bathroom must go up to the first floor.
“Follow me.”
The emperor followed me without saying a word.
Then, he recommended the public bathroom on the first floor used by prisoners.
“You can wash here.”
There was not a single person in the bathroom, but it was a very shabby and uncomfortable place for the emperor of an empire to wash.
However, the emperor entered the bathroom without any complaint, and I followed him.
“Oh, don’t get me wrong. “It’s not like I’m curious about the emperor’s body.”
“You’re saying you’re afraid I might commit suicide.”
Well, it’s sharp after all.
As I nodded silently, the emperor took off his upper clothes and smiled slightly.
“Why do I have to die?”
Then he took off his pants and entered the bathtub.
Pretending to look strong.
Although I’m pretending like nothing’s wrong, I’ve become very thin over the past few weeks.
So much so that the bones are clearly visible.
But I didn’t bother to say anything and just stood nearby blankly and waited.
This is because it seemed like he needed time alone to think.
However, the emperor spoke first.
“Do you have any brothers?”
“… … I have no brothers, only a younger sister. A female knight who won second place in the Sword Grand Prix. “You saw it before, right?”
“I remember. “They seemed to get along well.”
“yes. “He may sometimes say harsh words that stab me in the chest, but he is a very precious younger brother to me.”
“Would you risk everything for a younger brother like that?”
“Even if it means my life.”
“… … yes. “It’s happened before.”
The emperor smiled.
But why does that laughter feel so fleeting?
“Relying on each other and protecting each other. “I guess that’s what ‘brother’ means to you.”
“Are there people like that?”
“I had a brother, but I didn’t. “After I became aware of the existence of my older brothers, I always thought of them as ‘competitors’ who I had to overcome and overcome.”
“… … “Thanks to him, he became emperor.”
“okay.”
What are you trying to say?
I felt like I knew a little bit, but the sight was so foreign to me that I kept my mouth shut.
It was the ‘sadness’ of the emperor he saw for the first time.
“I abandoned my brothers. But now they are trying to abandon me.”
“I want to ask you one thing. “What should I do in times like this?”
His brother tries to abandon him.
The empire that accepted the dishonorable conditions of a war crimes trial abandoned its emperor.
I’m trying
Probably, they are planning to establish a new emperor.
In this situation of being abandoned by everything about himself, how does he feel now?
Why are you asking me this question?
What answer do you want to hear?
“What’s wrong with you? You did it wrong. So take responsibility and get dumped.”
“Just being abandoned, what they threw away
Instead, just pretend that I abandoned you. Swear, atone, and receive punishment. That’s all good, but don’t make such a weak expression, like you’ve given up on the world. “It doesn’t look pitiful at all, and it doesn’t suit you at all.”
How pitiful is Chuck?
I thought I had said something harsh, but surprisingly the emperor burst into laughter.
“That’s correct. After all, I should have had you.”
Then he stood up without a word.
The smile you’re making right now is perfect
It was the face of the former crown prince.
He came out of the bathhouse, trotted out, and held out his hand to me.
“Get me some clothes.”
And then, with his eyes shining intensely, he spoke.
“With the most gorgeous clothes in the world.”
