“I will live for a while.”
Thanks to my improvisation, it was resolved without a major conflict with Tershe.
The problem was what the other five gods, who were worshiped in the same name as gods, would think of me.
Of course, I can’t do anything recklessly because I have a pendant, but aren’t those guys still called gods?
If you want to, you can kill me at any cost.
“I don’t know. Let’s just rest like this for today.”
As I muttered, I tried to get a good night’s sleep in the bunk here as an excuse for today’s rough day.
However,
Koo-!!
Even in the bedroom, there was a sound that could vibrate from outside.
“Ha, what else?”
I immediately identified the identity of the sound.
“Aslan. Where is Aslan?”
The man with that angular voice was Eltihi.
“You can’t just go in!”
“This is where His Majesty the Emperor is. Be polite!”
That b*tch would come to the imperial palace recklessly whenever she could forget about that.
I said before it got louder outside.
“Take Eltihi inside.”
Then the scuffled knights opened the way.
Eltihi clattered into my bedroom.
“Eltihi. Jim must have said it the other day. That everything has a process. If you recklessly invaded the imperial palace like this…”
“Why? Are you going to kill me?”
“There’s nothing I can’t do.”
It was when the two of us were exchanging fierce glances.
“Your majesty!”
Raphael, who must have been nearby, hurriedly came inside.
“No. Queen. What if you come here again? Could you please contact me in advance? What are you doing with the crystal ball?”
“This one or that one. When they see me, they nag me.”
“It’s because you come here randomly like this. Or do you have some other reason?”
“…Other reasons?”
“These days, Your Majesty is looking for a marriage partner, and seeing that you are looking for a wife like this, the Queen has a different mind…”
“Everyone, shut up! What bullsh*t are you talking about!”
Eltihy roared with a greatly embarrassed face.
Then Raphael did not back down and pushed her further.
“Or you can say no, why are you screaming? But why did your face turn red? No way······.”
“This is real! Aren’t you quiet?!”
Seeing Raphael like that, I suddenly got a playfulness.
I spoke to Eltihi in a serious voice.
“Eltihi. Think of the age difference between Jim and you.”
“Because these really want to see you!”
Eltihi, angry to the point of anger, began to gather mana.
I calmed her down before her affairs got bigger.
“It was a joke. What are you so excited about? Stop gaining strength before cutting off her arms.”
Of course, her words didn’t come out well.
Eltihi glared at me for a moment, then withdrew his strength.
“Okay. What did you come for?”
“I heard a strange rumor. That you are the embodiment of Rahal.”
“The rumors are very late.”
“That means you really…!”
“What do you think? Do you really think Jim is Rahal incarnate?”
She stared at me blankly.
With Eltihi’s insight, wouldn’t it be possible to quickly figure out that I wasn’t Rahal?
“Okay. Maybe it’s even more strange that you’re not Rahal’s incarnation.”
What is it
“Don’t you have powers that humans cannot have? It’s always been strange that there’s a human stronger than Rylakan, but you weren’t human either.”
It feels strange to hear that you are not human.
“Did you come all the way here to say that?”
“The entire continent was excited about it, so I came to check it out. Rahal’s incarnation… For what reason did you come to the human world?”
“You admit that I am Rahal, but you do not show respect until the end.”
“Is it necessary between us? Do it if you want.”
“Done. If you don’t have work, go back.”
As I waved my hand, Eltihi called my name.
“Aslan.”
“…?”
“The dragon of chaos has awakened. You already know.”
Did Eltihi also feel that the dragon of chaos had awakened?
Then it’s going to be a real big deal.
“Did you wake up the dragon of chaos on purpose? Why?”
Are you going to wake me up because I’m crazy?
“No. How can we, the lowly, understand the thoughts of a god?”
Eltihi really seemed to have no doubt that I was Rahal.
“I don’t know what to do with the dragon of chaos, but I’m looking forward to it.”
I really wanted to go back now, but Eltihi stopped and glanced back at me.
“By the way, Aslan. Are you really thinking of getting married?”
To be honest, I have no intention of getting married, but my servants are making a fuss about getting married on a fictitious day.
“Why are you curious about that?”
“What… Are you sure you’re a human?”
Suddenly, Eltihi’s face began to redden once more.
* * *
“Did you hear that? I heard that His Majesty will bring in an empress soon?”
“Of course I heard. And honestly, he should have gotten married a long time ago, but he said there was no time to do that because he was taking care of the lives of the people.”
“This. What the hell are we doing? His Majesty always only cares about our safety!”
“I heard that you ignored the opinions of your servants who wanted to renovate the imperial palace through extensive renovations. If that’s the case, they’d rather build at least one more wall to keep the people safe.”
“Sobbing. How can there be only waves and waves?”
“I hope His Majesty will worry less about us and take care of herself.”
A country that cares more about the emperor’s life than their own.
That is the Berak Empire.
Even when Aslan was king, even after he became emperor, the people were still worried about him.
This phenomenon was happening in all kingdoms.
Usually, whenever an empire was established and the kings of each kingdom received the authority to rule over the lands entrusted to them, it was very natural that dissatisfaction with those in power would erupt among the people.
However, the people never cursed Emperor Aslan even though they cursed their king.
There is a notion that swearing at Aslan is the same as swearing at Heaven, but most of them believe in Aslan and follow him.
“Isn’t this the era of peace and prosperity?”
Horace chuckled.
Trusting the Emperor, paying attention to his trivial actions, and everyone going crazy over his actions, the Berak Empire has become a very ideal place.
“Only the leader can strengthen the hearts of the people and bring them together. And the better the leader, the stronger the empire becomes, and the stronger it becomes.”
“Yes. So I’m already worried. One day soon, His Majesty should get married and give birth to a successor. However, even if the prince were to be born, wouldn’t there be a law that he would become a mighty person like him?”
“Uh huh. You are the blood of His Majesty Aslan. How can I not learn that strength and greatness? That blood can never be fooled.”
I was talking about that.
“Excuse me······.”
“Ah. Captain Hariel. What are you doing?”
Hariel walked over and asked Horeth, who was sitting on the podium.
“Is it true that Her Majesty is registering a candidate for empress here?”
“Exactly. If you have a good character regardless of your social status and become a vessel to become the empress of this empire, I will strongly recommend it to her.”
“Did His Majesty really ask for a candidate?”
“What······. They allowed us to stop eating and drinking for a month and protest. Heh heh heh.”
Then Aaron, who was next to Hores, said.
“Next time, never do anything like that. Do you know how shocked I was when the Prime Minister suddenly collapsed?”
“If Your Majesty does not marry, he would rather die. However······. Captain Hariel, why did you come?”
From noble mtl dot com
“That······. No.”
Aaron asked Hariel in a calm voice.
“Hasn’t Captain Hariel also come to register as a candidate?”
“Come to think of it, I’ve heard rumors too. That there was a relationship between His Majesty the Emperor and Captain Hariel.”
“Woah, it’s a relationship. No, never!”
“Exactly? Then you’ll understand. Just go back.”
“…”
With that, Hariel turned around with his shoulders weak.
It was then.
“Oh, Hariel. You were here.”
Isn’t Pope Rehena coming into the imperial palace?
“The Pope? What’s going on here…”
“What is it?”
The Pope approached Hores and gave him a gentle eye smile.
“Prime Minister. Nice to meet you again.”
“hahahaha. Welcome. Pope. I heard you were coming. But why did you come here?”
“Yes, I came to register as a candidate.”
“······Yes?”
For a moment, Horace doubted his ears.
“Fuuu, if it’s candidate registration… Are you trying to become His Majesty’s empress?”
“Is there anything that won’t work?”
“That is······. Isn’t the title of pope not allowed to marry?”
“No. There is no such law. It’s just that those who have been chosen as popes so far avoided marriage because they couldn’t handle their own divine power. But His Majesty Aslan is different. You are the incarnation of Rahal. And I have served Rahal all my life.”
After hearing it, I wasn’t wrong.
“That is also true. Then please sign the list here.”
“Yes, I will. But when will the results come out?”
“I will notify you separately. Since Her Majesty’s marriage is at stake, we plan to review very carefully and meticulously.”
With a nod that Horeth could be trusted, Rehenna finished his signature and turned around.
“Hariel. Are you sure you want to register as a candidate too?”
“Ah······. I didn’t.”
“Okay. You are the knight who protects him. I’ll become his empress and keep him from being lonely, so don’t worry too much.”
“…”
Hariel became dumb for a while and couldn’t even reply.
After Rehenna passed by, another person came in this time.
“This is where candidates for empress are chosen, right?”
“Ah- that means that you were His Majesty’s fiancée in the past…”
“Yes, my name is Rebecca. Please put me on the list.”
After that, another surprise guest came in.
“This is it. The place where Aslan’s empress is chosen.”
“Eh, Queen Eltihi. What are you doing here?”
“Hmm- I’m here to see who is going to become Aslan’s empress.”
At the same time, El Tyhi lightly teased her fingers.
Then El Tihi’s name was added to her list.
“This, what is this…”
“Don’t get me wrong. I really don’t intend to become Aslan’s empress. It’s just that I don’t like the fact that people less than me are trying to become his empress. No one can become his empress unless she surpasses me.”
“…”
El Tyhi glanced at her women in line, then she went outside.
Horace and Aaron laughed as they didn’t know anyone else, but they didn’t even know that El Tihi would be on her shortlist.
After receiving the list of candidates all day,
“Let’s stop here for today.”
“Yes. That would be better.”
Just as the two of them are about to get up.
“Now, wait a minute!”
Hariel hurriedly ran up and told the two of them.
“Please, put me on the list too!”
