Episode 2 Sudden Departure to the Imperial Palace (1)

‘Wait a minute. But why is my father suddenly sending me to the imperial palace?’

It’s been a while since I remembered the characters in the novel, so I couldn’t point out what I should point out.

I was about to open my mouth about this, but my father was one step ahead.

“Yeah man! Could it be that you didn’t know that Her Majesty Empress Eckhart had ascended the throne? Huh?”

My father looks at me with his eyes wide open.

His eyes were reprimanding how he didn’t know this important thing.

“I didn’t pay much attention to the outside because I was only working at Yeongji.”

In the past, I was frightened by that erratic size and behaved docilely, but not anymore.

He lived until the age of 27 in his previous life, and now he is 18 years old here. Overall, he is about the same age as his father.

“Tsk tsk. Wouldn’t it be fine if the guy didn’t know such basic things?”

Baron Nedville is a distance of ten days on horseback from Delleson, the capital of the Eckhart Empire. It took more time than that for trends or news from the capital to reach our ears.

But there are other reasons besides this.

It’s because even if you don’t know anything about what’s happening outside the territory, it won’t interfere with your life.

But now is not the time to be arguing over things like this.

The first thing to do is to figure out how this came to be in English.

“Hmm. Well, when I heard it, it turned out to be my negligence.”

I chose to moderately agree and change the topic.

“It’s already been half a year since His Majesty ascended the throne, you bastard!”

The corners of his father’s mouth were strangely raised as he reprimanded me.

It’s been a while since I’ve caught one. This is it.

Since I did all the manor duties, I was usually the one who nagged at them. Besides, her mother didn’t like her father’s slowdown, so she always sided with me.

There is a stance I should take at a time like this.

“I will. If he wasn’t my father, I would have never known.”

To match the rhythm in moderation.

But my father furrowed his eyebrows a little. Does that sound a bit sarcastic?

Well, I’d be lying if I said I had no intention of doing that.

“Eh tsk tsk. A guy with no blood on his head making fun of adults.”

“So why do I have to leave for the imperial palace all of a sudden?”

I quickly changed the subject because I thought it would lead to a useless battle of attrition. My father stared at my face for a moment. Then he took a piece of paper from a drawer and set it down on the desk.

“Read it once.”

My father nodded, and I quickly grabbed the paper. At the top was the title:

What are you recruiting for?

I quickly skimmed through what was written there, expressing my doubts in my mind.

Recruit people who will devote their youth to work in the imperial family of the Eckhart Empire.

-Qualifications for Application

A man or woman over the age of 18 who has the status of baron or higher.

Those who have experience in administrative work

Those who are well-educated

Under it, the full name of Empress Cecilia and the official seal of the imperial family were stamped along with an explanation of how long the application form would be received.

How did such an announcement make its way to this remote countryside?

“I’m not just walking around the outside doing nothing.”

His father’s shoulders rose up.

At that moment, a thought passed through his mind.

“Father. No way… ….”

My father grinned and took another piece of paper from the drawer. The moment I checked it, I realized that it was just in case.

Luke Nedville, second son of Baron Harald Nedville, was the final choice.

Come to the Imperial Palace by 9:00 AM on February 15, 375 IC.

On February 15th…… There are only two weeks left!

I looked at my father with a stunned face. When my father saw me like that, he laughed out loud.

“Ha ha ha! Aren’t you happy!”

“No, why did you throw the application documents at me without saying a word!”

I screamed, but my father still seemed happy about the situation. The more I looked at it, the more I felt a headache, so I touched my forehead.

So, to sum it up, it’s like this.

My father got this recruitment notice from somewhere.

After seeing the announcement, he immediately submitted an application without consulting me.

The application was finally accepted.

I’m already at a loss at this point, but the problem doesn’t end here.

The current emperor of the Eckhart Empire is ‘Cecilia Campbell Eckhart’.

As I mentioned before, she is a tyrant who leads the Eckhart Empire to ruin.

That means that if you keep going like this, you will be working under a tyrant!

‘If I do something wrong, my neck may not be left… ….’

When I thought about that, my chicken skin swelled up.

“Luke.”

Suddenly, my father stood up with a solemn expression on his face. Then he came in front of me.

“Will the boy be satisfied with living in such a small estate? Huh?”

“Yes?”

When I asked again in a bewildered voice, my father let out a deep sigh and shook his head.

“I mean. Now he is the lord of such a small place, but in the past…….”

“From the northernmost kingdom of Hermoa to the southernmost kingdom of Sergel on the Arsenia continent. And you roamed the oceans, slaying pirates, yes.”

“Baby. Abi wants to talk.”

My father looked dissatisfied, but he couldn’t help it. If we leave it as it is, we’ll be stuck talking about bragging for over 30 minutes, but that can’t be the case.

Of course I respect such a father. Thanks to being recognized for his work in eradicating pirates, he was bestowed with a decent mansion and the Nedville estate.

He said that he could have been given the title of count, but he said he refused. The reason is that I don’t want to go into politics.

“Anyway, what I want to say is this. He who was born as a man, dream big!”

“So you are asking me to get out of the territory and gain experience elsewhere?”

“Yes. You got it right!”

Father laughed heartily again.

Well, if you think about it, your father wasn’t wrong. It’s not bad for him to live in the Nedville estate, but it’s good for him to go and work somewhere else while he’s still young.

But it bothered me that the current emperor was Cecilia.

How could he work under that tyrant…….

“Father. I have a request of a lifetime.”

“No.”

“I haven’t said anything yet.”

“You’re trying to undo this, aren’t you?”

“… ….”

Because it was the right word, I ended up becoming a hapjugi.

“A matter once decided cannot be taken back. His Majesty hand-selected and selected them, so do you think you can return this at will?”

Damn it…….

I’ve never seen anything like this in a novel.

As they said there was no way to avoid it, the future suddenly began to feel bleak. But my father, who had no way of knowing my heart burning,

“What are you so worried about, man? If you learn something by bumping into it, you can do anything.”

And patted me on the shoulder.

“And if you are recognized by the imperial family, wouldn’t it be the greatest honor for our family? Think of our family and try to do it properly. Even so, you can’t send Hans to the imperial family.”

“That’s right, but… ….”

I answered in a hesitant way, but my father was already drunk with joy.

“So, today is a celebration party!”

“Ah, yes… ….”

I felt like I knew a little about the feeling of a cow being led to the slaughterhouse.

The news that I was leaving for the imperial palace soon spread to my family. The source of the rumor was, of course, the mouth of his father.

“Oh my gosh, dear Luke. Did you really come to work at the imperial palace?”

At first, the mother was dubious, but after seeing her father’s announcement of her final selection, she was delighted as if it were her own work.

“You will finally raise the glory of our family!”

Hans brother also told a similar story to his father,

“Brother. Then buy me a dress and accessories that are popular in the capital.”

Cyril has already started drinking kimchi soup.

“No. You should also ask for a good groom.”

Mom likewise drank the kimchi soup.

The only way for my family to survive is to go and settle in a country other than the Eckhart Empire. It was to avoid the disaster that would strike when the Eckhart Empire perished.

But even if I knew of such a future, I couldn’t bring it out of my mouth.

Everybody will treat you like a weirdo, saying what crazy things you are talking about.

‘I would have been genuinely happy if I hadn’t known of such a future because I wasn’t a possessed person… ….’

That evening, a rare delicacy was prepared in the dining room. Beef steaks, soups and stews made with a variety of seafood that are hard to find in this remote outskirts, and more.

And my father even opened his favorite wine.

“Come on, everyone, stand up.”

As my father stood up with a glass of wine, the rest followed suit.

“For the glory of Luke and our family!”

“For!”

Everyone shared a toast with a bright smile.

I was laughing, but I wasn’t laughing.

With a bleak future clearly visible, how could anyone be able to smile?

I felt like a beggar, so I couldn’t tell if it went in my mouth or my nose, even though it was a delicacy that is hard to taste normally.

Right after dinner, the father turned his head toward his mother.

“Honey. If only we knew this good news, wouldn’t the people of the region be sad?”

“I was just thinking about that too.”

Then, his older brother and Cyril also agreed that it would be better to inform the local residents.

“Luke. Do you think it would be better to share this joy with you?”

No, what if I ask after creating an atmosphere where everyone agrees?

I let out a deep sigh.

“Yes. I do.”

But I couldn’t show it like that, so I smiled and answered.

“This guy. I mean, be more happy.”

“Luke. Mom is really happy just that you are working at the imperial palace.”

It was the first time I felt so stuffy that I couldn’t tell my parents that this was actually a novel.
