89. Title
Ian opened the door of the audience as if he was kicking it, and when he entered the room, Ian shouted loudly.
“Emperor! Your messenger is back!”
A roaring voice resounded in the wide audience room. Hearing Ian’s voice, the emperor looked at him with a look of surprise.
“… Hey, are you like that?”
“Ah, sorry. your majesty. I’m so excited to have accomplished the mission that His Majesty gave me, so stop… .”
The emperor knew Ian, who was very careful and quiet. A snake-like man who grasps his power very carefully and bites his opponent to death.
Without seeing such a man, he turned into a bear. It wasn’t a bad change for the Emperor. Because bears are easier to deal with than snakes.
“Yeah, what. If so.”
The emperor judged Ian’s behavior as a young chivalrous, and thought it was possible, and passed it lightly.
A teenager who eats steel and grows noticeably if he doesn’t see him for three days.
What matters is not how he has changed, but why he is here.
“Have you completed your mission already?”
“Yes that’s right.”
“It wouldn’t have been something that could have been resolved so quickly.”
Facing the emperor who looked at him with suspicious eyes, Ian quickly grabbed Noah and dragged him in front of him.
Then she set her ball high.
“It’s all thanks to this kid here! your majesty!”
“… Is it because of that child?”
“yeah-!”
At that, the emperor glanced around at Noah. Looking at their faces at the same time, I remember inviting them to the empire’s treasure house.
Artia, who met her there, saw Noah and said that he was a special being. Rather, Ian said that he was nothing.
After that, Ian showed a superior appearance, and Noah showed a normal appearance in reverse.
The emperor opened his mouth, looking at Noah, wondering if he had finally begun to stand out.
“Is that true?”
“Sah, that’s not true… .”
“Hey, so the author told me lies?”
“Oh, oh no! I don’t know if that’s true or not!”
“I do not know?”
Hearing the emperor’s words, Noah, panicked, began to gibberish.
“Hey, Ian says I have some special power… ! I don’t know what it is. And, to me, Ian looks even better… Also, so… .”
“Stop, stop.”
When the emperor saw Noah weeping, he felt an unknown sadistic feeling as he looked at her.
I thought I would cross the line against that little child if I did this, so I stopped her.
He even looked at Ian. In the short conversation I had earlier, I realized that the person I was talking to was Ian, not her.
“Ian Clark. I’ll be happy to talk, so please try to convince me somewhere.”
“… all right. His Majesty the Emperor.”
Ian Clark raised his head.
His two eyes twinkled brightly.
Now, it’s time to rob the emperor-.
* * *
“Your Majesty, how much do Your Majesty know about the warrior?”
“… Hero, I heard that the first emperor was like that.”
“In other words, you don’t seem to know what a hero is.”
The emperor nodded quietly. It’s a matter of course. The first emperor died hundreds of years ago.
Countless heroes who were on the forefront with the hero are falling into the yoke of the Sohan system, and there are only a few left who remember those days.
Not many people knew about the warrior.
‘Except for me.’
I have an empress. The hero, a hero who is believed to have lived at the same time as the first emperor.
In my own words, he even said that he had met the emperor, so as long as Empress’s name is worth it, few people will ignore what I say.
“A hero is a being loved by the world.”
Noah is cute Its cuteness is enough to hit the world.
However, is it possible for a commoner to be born and raised with such an appearance as the daughter of a farmer who suffers from hard labor immediately after birth?
In short, it is impossible.
“Look at Noah. Even though she is a commoner, she has a cute appearance that can slap any nobleman on the cheek.”
“Hey, Ian… .”
Even as Noah’s earlobe was dyed red from embarrassment – I continued to praise her without paying any attention.
“No, in fact, no nobleman can compete with her in appearance! Noah is the best, Noah is the best-!”
“… So, what do you want to say?”
“Do you think this appearance was made by chance?”
Again, the story goes back to the beginning.
Heroes are loved by everyone.
People with good looks are easy to fall in love with.
Therefore, the appearance of the hero is superior to others.
But the emperor blew out his nostrils.
“You can’t say that you’re special just because you look great. If that’s the case, aren’t you and I here too?”
It was a fair opinion. In fact, it is true that there is no one who is better than a certain level of appearance.
However, more than appearance, you can compete.
“Your Majesty, to be precise, her appearance is more like the shape of her vessel.”
“It’s a bowl.”
“Just as a beautiful pottery has both water-retaining performance and appearance, the talent she was born with is expressed in her beautiful appearance.”
This was also a line from the game. How can the protagonist, who was only a commoner, win the favor of five-star summons and get their help?
It’s because the main characters are all born very well.
“Noah was born with the ability to be loved by the world.”
“Is that the strength of a warrior?”
“Yes that’s right. The ugly one gives one more rice cake, but the truth is, the handsome guy gives an extra rice cake for free.”
“Hmm, fine. It’s hard to believe, but I’m sure she’s a hero. But, what does that have to do with her being the main character in this case?”
“With her help, I pleaded with God.”
The moment they heard those words, everyone in the audience, including the emperor, stopped. All the nobility, including the bishops and officials of the church, are the flagships.
“Nonsense! Did God grant only one child’s request!?”
“Are you insulting God or the Church?”
I looked around and remembered the faces of those who were particularly hot. There is only one reason why they react so violently.
‘Did you bully Noah?’
He must have hated to believe that the commoners he touched had such power. In fact, Noah has no such power.
“You have to listen to what people have to say. Exactly… I asked for help from something called a 5-star pet.”
“… If it’s a 5-star summoned animal.”
“Yes, it is an existence equal to the Artia possessed by His Majesty the Emperor.”
Artia the Yellow Dragon. Considering that the first emperor served her and became emperor, being able to ask for help from a being of the same class as her was like the emergence of a new prince.
That is a thorn in the eyes of beings with vested interests that they want to deal with, whether or not humanity is destroyed tomorrow.
“Your Majesty, get rid of that nonsense scammer immediately.”
“you’re right. It’s like a golden dragon… It is impossible for such a thing to happen.”
“Even if there were, it would be a threat to the one and only empire… … .”
“Everyone is quiet.”
The emperor made the vassals shut their mouths with charisma that overwhelms everyone at once. The emperor, who looked at me again after silence passed inside the audience, cautiously extended his hand.
“… Artia.”
Artia, who appeared under the emperor’s call, seemed to have heard all the previous stories, and as soon as she appeared, she nodded her head.
“Yeah, being like me… If it were a being that would kill all demons passing under the ground, would it be a white tiger?”
“I know you well.”
“Right. Was that energy a white tiger? .”
Artia said so and whispered in the emperor’s ear. I don’t know what he said, but upon hearing Artia’s words, the emperor nodded lightly.
“Ian Clark.”
“Yes.”
“And Noah.”
“Neep-.”
“For both of them… I will give you the titles of marquis and counts, respectively.”
“Your Majesty- you two are still cadets!”
Naturally, the officials who listened to the emperor’s rebellion continued. It was quite shocking that an academy cadet who had not yet graduated was given the title.
However, the emperor ignored the opposition of his vassals and continued what he had to say.
“I will not lower the territory. The reason I’m giving the two of you titles is none other than to make sure you don’t get in the way when you’re carrying out your mission – think carefully about why you were given the title and act accordingly.”
“It is an honour. your majesty.”
“Oh, it’s an honor.”
I knelt before him and was awarded the title. As the name of Clark remains, from my generation, the Clark family has been a marquise.
Noah was given a new family name.
Noah Mellie. She became a proud nobleman.
The moment I received the title of nobility, I looked around and approached the nobles who were looking at us with a surprised expression.
Then he took off the gloves he was wearing before entering the audience and hurled it towards them.
“I am requesting a duel against all of you who have dishonored Count Melie.”
“… Marquis Clark, what is this-“
“If you’re dissatisfied, you can just go for it, if you don’t, apologize to her.”
“Hey, Ian!?”
The reason I do this to them is very simple. Just by arguing in front of the emperor, the emperor would know what they had done to Noah.
As a matter of fact, the emperor does not tolerate ignoring the ability-first and commoners. It came from the fact that the empire was founded from the first emperors and the commoners.
“Now, what are you going to do?”
Naturally, they had no choice but to apologize to Noah on this occasion. The sudden occurrence showed great interest in the Emperor.
I had a gut feeling that their path was blocked.
No, so who wants to touch Noah?
