1. I was born at the wrong time. (3)
I wondered if I had heard something wrong.
“I would like to officially announce the engagement between my daughters, Elhermina and Kariel, here.”
engagement? What about Elhermina?
I?
“Pay attention to your expression and posture.”
I was awakened by the sound of a voice next to me.
The great princess was calmly observing the shocking hall without a change in her expression.
‘Did you know?’
If not, that calm reaction makes no sense at all.
why? why?
“… … .”
Is this a fucking political judgment?
hero emperor.
And my father, the head of the nine heroes.
There are not many people within the Empire who have full support for more than one.
so that.
The vested interests did not welcome such an absolute power very much.
Even when the demon king was born and the era was engulfed in chaos and war, the high-ranking nobles of the empire firmly maintained their position.
Not all of them survived, but rather their bond grew stronger than they were reduced in scale.
However, that is not a reason to block the trend.
“I didn’t say a word, but what is this… .”
“I bet you didn’t want to hear it. Isn’t it?”
“… … .”
When I inadvertently turned my gaze to my father and mother, my eyes caught the hateful face of my father, who was smiling as if it was difficult to meet eyes.
My mother was relatively calm.
“It wasn’t a coincidence that you found me on the terrace, was it?”
“… There can be no coincidence in our actions.”
The princess calmly confessed.
small whisper.
It’s close to a whisper, but there’s not a single one of us who doesn’t hear it.
“Wasn’t the bond between your father and His Majesty strong even if you didn’t bother to include me?”
“The world does not believe this.”
what?
“It’s not enough just to show. The most solid thing is to create a link that cannot be broken.”
That is.
“It is a blood relationship. It is also the greatest weapon the imperial family possesses.”
“… … .”
this woman
Do you see yourself as just a tool?
“… … .”
As the emperor had just finished his presentation and speech, she also fell silent as if waiting.
The fuss continues.
However, they do not openly complain or show negative reactions.
Do the sudden announcement lead to bewilderment?
“Isn’t it really a slope?”
“There are more things to celebrate!”
“ha ha ha! Wouldn’t this be the restoration of the empire?”
Read at noblemtl. com
Very calmly, just like it was originally.
Laughing and clapping their hands, nodding their heads loudly as if it were done according to the natural order.
The shamelessness of those who casually threw out words of blessing as if all of this was natural.
inside… It looked like it would turn over.
More than anything.
As if the descendents of the well-known hero hadn’t heard of this beforehand, they were astonished and bewildered, and some even expressed anger.
However, they didn’t show off in a clumsy manner either.
just.
with the lights on in your eyes.
Pierce this way, just stare at it.
Perhaps if someone who wasn’t here had heard the news, they would have quietly dragged me somewhere.
Right now, the prince who is 2 years younger than the princess is staring at me as if to tear me to death.
All sorts of misayeogu come and go.
Even some of the nobles who had been slandering me a while ago.
To watch them calmly come to us and talk nonsense as if they were going to bless us for tens of thousands of years.
Naturally, it was unpleasant, as if the intestines were rotting away.
—-
red eyes.
Even a decent appearance that inherited the characteristics of the emperor and empress.
If even the appearance of a demon standing on his face suits him, is this a simple sentiment or a malicious disparagement?
“Wow! I really didn’t expect this.”
“… … .”
“Ugly boy. Did you think that your filth would be washed away just because you pretended to be lofty and shivered? Even more so, to my sister… .”
“Your Highness the Prince. Calm down.”
“Calm? Did you say you were serious?!”
… Play well.
In the past, there was a time when I couldn’t do anything because I was swayed by that kind of momentum and atmosphere.
Now, even this, despite the raging storm, has ceased to be shaken.
And is this look bad?
“How long can you show your face in such a lofty, shameless way, all I can say is how amazing it is. How on earth did they bake and boil them to make such an inappropriate decision… .”
“majesty. More than that is too much.”
The boy with a cold expression actively dissuades the prince.
However, rather than definitely blocking even this, I feel like I’m adjusting it so that it doesn’t cross the line.
and.
The many boys and girls standing behind them still had their enmity against me.
Rather than being my age, they are all two or three years younger than me.
As for peers, that guy who dissuades the prince.
“… … .”
In the meantime, a girl sighed with an expression of embarrassment rather than hostility.
“Did you say everything?”
“What? What did you just say?”
“… … .”
After all, having sex only adds to the hassle.
That’s why I’ve been ignoring it and ignoring it again and again.
No, it’s not something that can be ignored.
“Tell me again. what? What and how?”
“majesty.”
“Don’t stop, Ryunan. Do I even want to kill the author? The only child of a great hero… Oh, isn’t that him too?”
A blatant sneer blooms on his face.
I even have that.
It is accepted calmly and without agitation.
“I must have felt a sense of crisis. So I concocted a dirty trick like this, and if it’s that story, it’s a good fit.”
“If you stay here like this, only bad things will spread, so why don’t you go in soon?”
“What about us interfering with the adults’ playground? Do you want me to be a maid?”
He’s a strangely smart kid.
I wasn’t born as a prince because I was bored, is that a story?
“This body will personally provide you with the best option for you foolish. You yourself should tell His Majesty that you are breaking this engagement. Then everything will be resolved peacefully. How dare you… sister… .”
“majesty.”
A curmudgeon or a flirtatious bastard, beyond hating, is hateful.
Still, it doesn’t budge.
Dogs bark, cats, and even chickens crow.
Is there anything harsher than telling a creature with a mouth not to make noise?
“… … .”
No matter how remote it is, it is probably because the crowd of people in the ballroom has gradually disappeared.
Even in the corner of the garden of the imperial palace, some of the nobles and people who perform it, and those who are in charge of other chores, feel that some attention is focused.
Wouldn’t that be a very interesting topic?
“… I warned you. Let’s put it into action, even tomorrow.”
“You do it yourself.”
“What?”
“Has there ever been a time when my opinion was valid?”
only seven years old.
Whatever I was thinking at the time, at that time I voluntarily left the imperial capital and entrusted myself to not only allies but also hostile countries for three years.
It’s a kind of diplomacy, half-sacrifice and dedication, but I can’t even remember it anymore.
Like that, somehow, even after coming back at the age of 10.
I could hardly adapt to institutional life.
“I am a scarecrow. You know it well, and I know it better than anyone else.”
so.
“Don’t argue with me, go to the decision makers and argue. Even if a child begs to buy candy, it is at the discretion of a parent with the resources to buy it. As you know.”
“In addition! You’re talking so much that it looks like there’s something! It’s like a guy who only has a facade. What the hell is so good about you every time… .”
“I used to be good… did you have to me?”
It’s a strange thing.
People who are proud are better than others, so why are they so anxious not to quarrel with me every time?
Rather, it is normal for me to feel inferior, but why is it like that every time?
However, if you think about this, there is no limit.
There were times when I really blamed myself for having a problem.
That’s wrong.
those are just
… It was nothing more than a target for resentment and hatred against me, as an emotional outburst.
I realized this too late, and it hurt me so much.
“I will go back.”
“I never gave my permission! Why don’t you go away on your own… !”
“majesty.”
“… … Kut!”
That kind of person is born as a man and gets kicked out of the competition for imperial authority by women.
“… … .”
If I become a couple with the princess, what kind of expression will that bastard make?
A misplaced interest aroused, but was washed away with a snort.
It is impossible.
Even if that happens.
Before that, there would be only hell.
The car was about to leave the imperial palace as if leaving.
“yes? what?”
I can’t see it, but I feel it clearly.
that voice.
That led me somewhere.
ardently.
rekindling interest.
Crossing the huge imperial palace as if possessed like that.
At some point, I had reached this place.
“Look, a treasure chest?”
why here… ?
If it is discovered, the matter will become absurdly large.
Just that it was discovered in this area would be a big problem… .
“???”
Why, but no one?
This area is famous for being heavily guarded.
The entrance door is also formed in three layers, and it is a place that will never be opened unless the emperor falls.
Why?
It was wide open.
Entering the place as if possessed, among the myriad treasures, I focused on only one.
“No, this is wrong.”
I rejected the offer to go and see it right away, and tried to turn my steps.
-Are you just going?
The voice caught my ankle involuntarily.
“What?”
-okay. you can hear my voice
It felt like my whole body was being eaten up by an unknown anxiety.
Hardened lips and tongue, chewing hard.
I turned my back.
By doing so.
– It’s a pretty familiar face. Well, let me guess. Her black hair is her hallmark, and her eyes are golden. There’s no embellishment there, but if it’s a decent look that will make a woman cry… Are you their child?
them?
– Rueld. Ermina. Yes, it must have been those two. right. Those are names I miss.
It’s like reminiscing or recalling memories.
A woman with a golden comb.
An antique white robe that covered important parts.
Skin like white jade, and gorgeous blonde hair that stretched out in abundance as if to cover it all.
More than anything.
Even the twinkling eyes seemed to be sucked in.
Like bright gold, it was emitting a thick and familiar glow.
golden woman.
No further expression came to mind.
As if the concepts of beauty and splendor were condensed to the fullest.
It’s as if just by witnessing it, it grabs the gaze, no, even the soul.
such charm.
Such magic… I had to feel it.
“you are… who the hell… Do you?”
We arrived at this place following the spirit’s earnest cry and echo.
-Before wondering about that, wouldn’t there be something you should do?
“Yes?”
She said.
– If you stay here, you mean. I think it could lead to a ridiculous misunderstanding.
“that… .”
That’s not wrong.
and.
“Who are you?!”
“No! Eh, how could this happen?!”
“Treasury leaked! No! It’s been breached!”
when you noticed
At least it was too late.
Suddenly, he became a trespasser who broke into the imperial treasury.
This scene it’s the same in forbidden master.
