build a discussion board – 2
next day.
We decided to head to the Dronor estate.
But before that, there was work to be done.
“Everyone is packing their bags. Feed the horses well.”
“Where are you going?”
“I just wanted to see the Emperor’s face for a second.”
Xenia said in an absurd voice.
“No matter how much I join this party and my common sense is being destroyed day by day, it’s as if I’m still going to see the emperor and see the man next door…”
“If it’s worth my name, I’ll even accept an emergency interview.”
“What are you going to talk about when we meet?”
I replied as if it was obvious.
“You have to build a wall.”
“……”
“I managed to get Serene’s parents out safely, but the emperor still sees me as a thorn in the eye.”
“It is.”
“But it would be difficult if I, who was busy beating the Demon King, got involved in such a political thing. Right now, I want to tell you to stop worrying about us.”
Neryl tilts her head.
“I’ll just say a word, okay? No, I’m sure you’ll find out about it right in front of your eyes.”
“I intend to accompany it with moderate living and intimidation.”
“That’s good.”
She smiled and nodded her head.
“Come curse at me for my share.”
“……uh.”
So I went away with my friends for a while.
As I expected, my reputation, which is currently resonating on the continent, made it possible to even apply for a solo session with the emperor.
The emperor invited me to his favorite garden.
Said the emperor in front of a fountain that magically spouts water all year round.
“Yeah, what made you want to see Jim?”
“Have you met my colleague, Serene?”
flinch.
The emperor’s facial muscles twitched.
I spoke calmly.
“And I commissioned her to assassinate me.”
“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“I know everything. Her Majesty took her parents hostage and threatened her. and……”
I smiled.
“The fact that their parents were ‘stored’ in a remark in the basement of the Hwangseong Fortress.”
“ね.”
The emperor could no longer keep his composure.
He took a step back and broke into a cold sweat.
“It’s an assassination case, even if you say you heard it from Serene, how did you even know that they hid them in the remarks?”
“It is not enough. We rescued them safely.”
“What, what? You cannot enter Vigo without the permission of the royal family!”
“Things in the world do not always go back to principle. There are both shortcuts and side roads. Your Majesty probably knows better.”
The emperor shook his head with trembling eyes.
“It’s impossible. That is absolutely impossible.”
“Do you have anything else to ask me?”
“You just asked! Do you know how I hid them in the remarks?”
“no. That is not what Your Majesty will ask me.”
I blew my life away.
Chunkyung. Chunkyung.
The sounds of weapons being drawn can be heard everywhere in the garden, where it was clear that there were only the two of them.
It was a fact I knew from the beginning, so I continued talking without paying any attention to it.
“Can you forgive me?”
“What?”
“Can you forgive me? You should have asked.”
The emperor’s face was full of anger.
“Hey, this guy… no matter how much he is called a hero, he has lost his fear!”
“Put down your men first. From the looks of it, I don’t think it’s Alkahad or the Knights Templar of Light.”
“Ugh.”
“It appears that he is a guardian of your Majesty unknown to the Empire. In other words, it means that even if I kill you, there is nothing behind it.”
Of course, I have no intention of killing him.
The emperor snorted.
“These are elites who have been nurtured by the imperial family from generation to generation. In the shadows, they are training only for the protection of the emperor.”
“Is that so.”
“How many elites do you think are hiding in this garden now? It’s forty! No matter how brave you are, you will not be able to defeat them.”
“I’m forty-two.”
The king’s body trembled at my words.
I shrugged and said.
“It’s forty two. your majesty. It was only because I couldn’t properly understand the number of elite soldiers protecting me.”
“Wow, what… how do you know that?”
“It’s just the number of breath sounds.”
“What are you?”
“Even a hero can’t defeat them? Who is the hero you are talking about? Aren’t they the warriors of the past?”
I gently put my hand to the sword.
“Did you not think that I would be stronger than them?”
“profit. Hit it!”
The emperor raised his hand.
But it was already after I got out of my black scabbard.
‘A great cut!’
Suddenly, a great storm begins to rage in the garden.
Sword Storm.
The massive slash that I’ve been using for a long time is too powerful for me… Is it too severe?
It reaches distances that would not normally be reached.
I don’t miss even the guys I would have missed normally.
The ‘extraordinary cutting’ that would normally have filled half of this garden filled the entire garden.
‘Ugh. I’ll have to adjust my power.’
If it goes on like this, there will be real deaths.
[Why are you so strong?]
‘Be quiet. I’m concentrating right now.’
[Well. Come to think of it, did I mention that you could even see the blood letters of the dead since last time?]
‘Oh, I’m concentrating. Hey.’
Trail Bites Her Mouth
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Meanwhile, the storm of swords subsided.A very brief silence.
And then a huge cry rang out.
“Aww!”
“Wow, arm. my arm!”
“Cool. What the hell happened?”
“I couldn’t even see it. I didn’t even know what happened.”
“That’s the hero…”
Blood gushed out everywhere.
Fortunately, no one lost their lives due to the loss of strength in their arms in the middle.
Strangely, even the fine tuning of the trajectory became much smoother than usual, so it was possible to just make it ‘can’t fight anymore’.
shudder.
hey hey.
The wind blows when the sword is put in.
The emperor’s face was covered with the blood of the elite guards.
I took a handkerchief from my pocket and handed it to me.
“Would you like to write?”
“……”
“your majesty?”
dump.
The emperor slumped to the floor without a look.
I tapped my tongue lightly and opened my mouth.
“it’s okay. No one is dead.”
“This is nonsense. I can’t do this.”
“If it’s an imperial castle, there must be a lot of great priests. If they do, they will be able to come back after a week of recuperation.”
“Is this… is this a warrior? I can’t quite reach it.”
I listened to his last murmur.
‘I did too.’
I thought it would be like that from the beginning.
[what?]
‘The Emperor tried to assassinate me and Kyle. The reason is that……’
[Before the trust?]
‘okay. Calling yourself a hero before the oracle is a scammer. It was said that the royal family were educated like that.’
No way.
There have certainly been many nerds who claim to be heroes in the past, but there is a crucial difference between them and me.
They did not have a reputation.
At most, it was only talked about a little in one or two small and medium-sized provinces in the province, and ended up being revealed to be a scammer by the Knights of Light or Alcahad.
What was the difference?
‘They didn’t take care of the greatest happiness of the greatest number.’
[Well.]
‘So, there was a limit to the rise of fame, and I would not have been as enthusiastically welcomed by the young people as I did.’
With this absolute difference, it’s absurd for the emperor to think of me as a deceiver.
then?
I bent my knees and squatted in front of the emperor.
And he opened his mouth in a low voice.
“Your Majesty wanted to be a warrior.”
Startle.
The emperor trembled sadly like a child.
I continued.
“That’s why I was trying to assassinate me or Kayle with Serene.”
“……”
“Actually, your Majesty must have known. that I am a real warrior. And that the Demon King will come soon.”
“Ugh.”
“As a descendant of Grade-sama, your Majesty, who has studied the existence of a hero more than anyone else, you must have known that reputation is important to a hero.”
Now the emperor’s face was darkened.
I took a light deep breath.
And possessing himself to the emperor, he put it in his mouth as if to represent his feelings.
“When the Demon King descends, the oracle will come down. I’ll drop it on either Maid or Kayle.”
“……”
“But what if they both die? So, who will the trust go to? Wouldn’t it be bestowed on the most famous person on the continent at that point?”
“……”
“Aside from Maid and Kayle, who is the most famous person on the continent? You must have thought, “Isn’t it me?”
Now the emperor seemed ten years old.
The strong muscles that must have been trained on their own were completely turned off.
The face is wrinkled.
Did it originally look like this?
Originally it looked like this
One thing has changed.
That strong desire to become a warrior had just subsided.
said the emperor.
“Yes. Everything you say is right.”
“……”
“I realized when you and Kayle each raised their names as heroes. Even though the oracle was not given, one of them must be a true warrior.”
“……”
“It’s even said that I will no longer be the most famous in this empire.”
There is little poison in his eyes.
“Why? Why did someone higher than Jim suddenly appear from the load stand? Not one, but two!”
“your majesty.”
“For 250 years after the Demon King of Desolation, the Imperial Emperor has always been the one who sat on the top of all people. But why… Why did a hero come out at Jim’s time? Why is the demon lord descending at the time of Jim?”
“……”
“If this is going to happen, then why is the burden of my ancestors… so big?”
I quietly put my mouth to his ear.
And whispered in a small voice.
“okay. If it were like this, what would you have poisoned your ancestors for?”
“Ugh.”
“I know everything. His Majesty used a secret poison to the extent that even his predecessor himself did not know what had happened. That’s why Mariana testified that she was a soldier when she called for the soul.”
“Well, you are…”
The emperor was now almost peeing if he left it alone.
I continued.
“Still, don’t you whisper like this so that your subordinates won’t be able to hear you? Please consider this my last consideration.”
“……”
“your majesty.”
I bit myself from him.
And raised his voice again.
“As you can see, I am strong. It’s too strong.”
“……”
“And I can find out all your sins and all your conspiracies.”
“Ugh.”
“So, don’t be silly anymore. I hope you can help me do my job. Just like the previous emperors in the descending period of the demon kings were like that.”
The emperor lowered his head helplessly.
He answered in a shrill voice.
“okay. I’ll do that.”
“……”
“Now I know Jim. I admit it now. In the world, there is a sky above the sky, and a hero above the emperor.”
I sighed lightly.
Then he softened his voice a little and opened his mouth.
“I promise you one thing.”
“what?”
“After killing the Demon King, I will enjoy my retirement life in a quiet countryside.”
“……what? Did Jim hear you right now?”
“Probably so.”
“Are you going to retire? After killing the Demon King, why not sit on top of the burden with that fame?”
“haha.”
I burst out laughing involuntarily.
“Are you worried about that?”
“No, but…”
“If you look at history, you must have been similar to Lephia-sama, right? I know that he returned to his hometown of Raynus’ estate and inherited the restaurant his father used to run.”
“That was a very special case for Lephia-sama. After defeating the Demon King for the 3rd and 4th generations, it was rather noisy. When it comes to the first hero, Grade-sama, there is nothing more to say.”
After all, Grade used the fame he had built up to rise to the throne on his own.
It’s not that he doesn’t know what the emperor in front of him was worried about.
I shrugged.
“I seem to have more similar tendencies to Lephia-sama’s side.”
“……”
“As long as there is a precedent for Lephia-sama, it’s not something that can’t happen at all, right? So, please do not block my way in the future.”
“Oh, I see. I will do that.”
I nodded and got up from my seat.
Then I looked at the guards who were lying on the floor and moaning.
“Please heal quickly. It is dangerous if left too long.”
“Yeah, yes.”
“Then I will.”
“Where are you going now?”
“yes? What do you mean?”
I laughed bitterly.
“Let’s go to the Dronor estate.”
“……”
“Shouldn’t you be carrying out the quest your Majesty gave you?”
He made an indescribable expression and lowered his head.
I turned around and took a step.
Then I heard the emperor’s small murmur in my ear.
“The load has been lifted. In all respects.”
