62 – Meeting (4)
There was silence in the conference room.
Everyone is mesmerized by this unexpected situation.
And among them, the person who was most shocked was none other than Jane.
‘Kael was an archmage?’
I saw him show extraordinary strength in the arena competition.
So, of course I knew he was outstanding.
But, I couldn’t even imagine that he was not someone else but an archmage.
“Great, great wizard?”
“Is it true?”
“The archmage was that young?”
Everyone was shocked for a moment, and then the noble who had been refuting Kael earlier looked at Meria.
Then, she leisurely shrugs her shoulders.
“Well, since he revealed it, it doesn’t matter. That sentence is not impersonation or anything like that. “He really is an archmage.”
Everyone’s mouths fell silent at those words.
The current Mage Tower owner, not anyone else, has acknowledged it, so how can you refute that statement?
At that moment when everyone was mesmerized, the nobleman who had been rebutting opened his mouth.
“Okay. Even if you are an archmage, is there still a need to kill the prince? “If he were an archmage, he would have been able to subdue the prince by killing him.”
“I’m so speechless that I have nothing to say. You’re telling me to subdue a traitor. From the looks of it, he’s never met a traitor.”
“Yes?”
“I guess the reason for suppression is information, but renegades usually choose suicide to avoid giving out information.”
As he said that, Kael opened his eyes sharply.
And then he continues speaking.
“And why do they still call the traitor a prince?”
“Well, that is.”
He makes a perplexed expression when Kael interrogates him.
I guess he didn’t think he would be questioned in reverse.
Kael caught his expression at once and then opened his mouth.
“Looking at it, it’s a faction of your class. “The faction of the class I saw before was also a traitor.”
“?!”
His eyes widen at Kael’s unexpected words.
I guess I never thought it would turn out like this.
“What kind of nonsense is that? “You’re a traitor just because you belong to the prince’s faction!”
“Then let’s prove it.”
“What?”
“I will give you a chance to prove whether you have demon energy or not.”
As he was rushed to the station, his face turned red.
In fact, Trine, who is now being accused by Kael, is actually a traitor.
Honestly, I thought that Kael, who killed half, was dangerous, so I was trying to figure out what to do, but I never imagined that the situation would change like this.
‘I never imagined that he would be an archmage.’
Trine was worried about the unexpected crisis situation.
How to deal with it.
After gathering his thoughts at once, he opened his mouth.
“I understand. “Let me prove it.”
Trin nods and draws out magical power.
Looking at him like that, Kael shook his head.
“You don’t have to do that. “I will check it myself.”
“Yes?”
The next moment, Kael grabs Trin’s face.
Then, magical power is injected into its circuit.
-Hwaaa
In an instant, black energy wavered from Trin’s body.
The people in the conference room who saw that opened their eyes.
Honestly, I thought Kael was just making an unreasonable claim.
However, contrary to expectations, demonic energy actually stirred in Trin’s body.
‘What?!’
Trin also never thought that such magic would come out.
He has been a renegade and has completely hidden his demonic powers.
Therefore, he was confident that no matter how great the magician was, he would not be caught.
But, I never imagined that I would be found out so easily.
-Whaaa!!
In an instant, Trin quickly emits magical energy.
Now that we’ve been caught, we need to escape from here quickly.
He tried to run away while emitting demonic energy like that.
But, does the world not go as expected?
“Wow!”
I could feel a high density of magical power in the room.
It’s on a completely different level from the magic I’ve encountered so far.
My whole body becomes heavy, as if submerged in the deep sea.
“Renegades like you do exactly the same thing.”
At that moment, a voice as cold as ice came from my ear.
I rolled my eyes and moved my gaze upward.
Then, Kael looks down at him with sharp eyes.
‘Is this the magic power that real people emit?’
My whole body is shaking from the waves of Kael’s magic power.
How much magical power does one have to exert such power?
‘Damn it.’
I can’t help it.
It is impossible to escape this situation now.
Even if we manage to shake off Kael, the strongest people on the continent are gathered here.
In fact, there is no answer other than self-destruction.
-Woooooh.
After organizing his thoughts like that, he unleashed his demon energy with all his might.
His body slowly inflates like a balloon.
Those who saw it reacted quickly.
“Your Majesty, please come behind me.”
When everyone prepares for suicide.
-Hot!
Kael leisurely holds the guy’s head.
And then, he smiles eerily.
“Okay. “This is also the same.”
With those words, Kael breathed in his magic again.
And then, Kael found the source of this guy’s demon energy at once.
-Kwasik!
At that moment, his magical energy is completely cut off.
The guy’s body, which was so swollen, slowly shrinks.
‘What?’
Trin’s pupils trembled as the magic disappeared.
I never could have imagined that a self-destruction could be prevented in this way.
But at that moment.
“Then, I’ll leave the interrogation to you.”
With that said, Kael handed Trin over to the Imperial Knights.
“Damn it!”
Trine struggles to rebel somehow.
However, suppressing a traitor who has lost his magic energy is a piece of cake.
-Pow!
“Wow!”
One of the knights who defeated him at once leaves the room with his head bowed.
An awkward silence fell in the conference room again.
“So the meeting is over?”
In an instant, Meria puffs out her breath and asks.
The emperor shakes his head at her question.
“Only the first meeting is over. We will continue in an hour.”
After saying those words, everyone nods their heads.
Soon, the people in the conference room quietly leave.
However, unlike them, Kael sat quietly in his seat.
Risa looks puzzled at his actions.
“Kael, why are you sitting?”
“I have something to discuss with the emperor separately. “Let’s go out first.”
“Uh, huh. Okay.”
She nods her head with a puzzled expression.
Only the Emperor, Kael, and finally Ram remained in the room.
There was silence among the three.
And then, the emperor takes a shallow breath.
“Whoa. Will we finally reveal our identity?”
“Okay. “Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been an atmosphere that everyone could understand.”
The emperor who knows his identity.
A long time ago, when I was invading the imperial castle, I revealed my identity in order to have a conversation with him.
So it seems like he believed in himself from the beginning.
Then, he asks in a curious voice.
“More than that, what is your relationship with Lisa?”
“Hmm?”
“Looking at Lisa’s expression, it seems like we’ve known each other for a long time.”
“Before that, I also have something to ask.”
“?”
Hearing Kael’s words, the Emperor places a question mark on the top of his head.
Then, Kael narrowed his eyes and asked directly.
“Why did you kick Riza out of the imperial castle? Honestly, with Riza’s strength, she would be qualified to intervene in the imperial fight.”
“That child is her maid’s child.”
“No. The guy I know would never leave you out for that reason. “There is no reason to give up that power just because you are a maid’s child.”
The current emperor does whatever it takes to protect the continent.
However, it is nonsense for him to ignore Riza’s power just because he is the child of a maid.
As Kael stares at him, Line lets out a shallow breath.
“It was for that child.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“What?”
“If you had seen that child’s strength, you would know. “It’s different from the ordinary royal family.”
“That’s…”
Unable to deny it, Kael trailed off his words.
He continues to explain.
“If her power is revealed, her demons and traitors will target her. No, it would be better if we just targeted them. “There must have been someone like Ban who wanted to take advantage of her.”
“So she hid her power and kicked her out of the imperial family?”
“Okay. “He thought it was best to keep the child safe.”
“Then let me ask you one more question. “Why didn’t you end the meeting now?”
A complete conclusion has now been reached regarding Ban’s death.
But, why do they say they are holding more meetings?
‘It’s roughly what I expected.’
Still, I asked a question just in case.
Then, sure enough, he blurts out what he was thinking.
“I want to talk about Lisa.”
“Are you planning to involve her in her imperial fight this time?”
“Okay. You might not have noticed it before, but now her strength has been revealed. So, she will accept it this time…”
“No, I’m sorry, but I’ll have to refuse.”
“What?”
Kael quietly recalled the story he had shared with Lisa.
-Riza, if she could return to the imperial family, would she?
-Huh? I don’t know why she’s suddenly asking, but honestly, she doesn’t really want to go back. I’m quite satisfied with my life now.
-Yes. If so, I understand.
Cael shook off his thoughts and quietly looked at the emperor.
Then, he spoke in an extremely serious voice.
“Lisa chose to be a professor at her academy.”
