“……..”
“What did I hear now?”
After Clana’s last bombshell, voices begin to be heard in the long silence that flows.
“The Emperor… one of his wives?”
“No, are you kidding me?”
It was natural.
The emperor is one of the ‘wives’ of someone.
It was a situation that could not even be imagined unless it was a third-rate play or novel.
“Even if Frey was a hero… was that even possible?”
Even if the true identity of that ‘someone’ was Frey, the warrior who saved the world.
“I see. Even the emperor would not be able to disregard the ancient laws.
In fact, high-ranking nobles who wanted to have multiple wives had come out many times before.
However, the ‘ancient laws’ of the Empire have thwarted all those attempts.
There is only one ‘wife of Jeongsil’.
It is a strong rule that has been kept with ‘Ancient Magic’, a mysterious power lost in the past, designed to prevent an aristocratic family from gaining too much power.
“If you go against the ancient magic… even if you’re a hero or an emperor, you won’t be safe.”
“That’s right. They say that the first hero and the first emperor couldn’t connect because of that…”
When the absolute rule was about to be broken about a thousand years after it was enacted, of course, words began to appear here and there.
“This emperor, you know… he’s quite open-minded.”
“Is that a good thing or a bad thing?”
“If there is a convincing reason and solution, it is the courage of young blood, and if there is not, it will be courage.”
In that way, not only ordinary citizens, but also nobles and monarchs of other countries began to look at Clana with questionable eyes.
“Other reform proposals will be made by appropriately gathering the opinions of citizens and nobles, and if there is a place to revise it.”
Clana, who read the atmosphere below for a moment with an expressionless expression, started speaking again.
“But not as much as the last remark.”
“”……..””
“It’s not asking for consent, it’s a notice to everyone.”
In her words, a completely firm will was evident.
“…Damn it. I have to do anything to stop it.”
“My son said he had already missed his marriage to get a fiancee…”
So, for the past few years, the nobles, who have been trying to insert their children as betrothed, havetily devised countermeasures.
“Don’t worry, we don’t have ancient magic.”
“You’re bluffing. It’s probably a show to avoid an immediate engagement. I don’t know why you’re doing such a pointless thing…”
Those who believed in the existence of ‘ancient magic’, thought that Clana was arrogant, and was taking it easy.
“The legal review by the judiciary has already been completed, and the marriage registration has also been completed.”
“”……..!!!””
“And the ancient magic of the Empire couldn’t stop the marriage registration.”
When Clana began to explain, she had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
“The reason is right here.”
Saying that, Clana pulls something out of her arms, and everyone’s attention is focused on her hands.
– Flutter, flutter…
In her hand, an old paper was fluttering.
“This is an ancient law enacted a thousand years ago by the first hero and his wife…”
As the explanations of the documents flowed out of her mouth, people’s eyes gradually became dazed.
“…the point is, the ‘hero’ is given the right to have multiple wives.”
Even in such an atmosphere, she finished the explanation of the documents without paying any attention.
“Of course, this law also applies to Frey Laon Starlight, the 2nd Hero.”
“”……..””
“The law has already been applied to the first royal family once. Therefore, there is no problem at all.”
For a top secret involving the three dukes and the imperial family that had been sealed a long time ago, it was a fairly quick and exciting reveal.
“Wait, then what will the genealogy be…?”
“My wife, now after a thousand years… Does it have any meaning?”
“Well, it’s still dizzy.”
Then, thanks to the ripple effect of her remarks, the atmosphere that had been noisy for a while gradually diminished.
“Then, I will reveal the list of the warrior’s wives, including myself.”
As the embers were extinguished, Clana rekindled the fire.
“If it’s Kania… the butler of the Starlight family? Are you marrying your butler?”
“You’re married to the head of the dragons! Was the hero of the Empire an idealistic person!!”
“Sue, a saint who must be chaste… Marriage? Tae, the sun god will be angry…!”
“Ru, if it’s Ruby… You’re the second demon king. But marriage? Dragon love?”
In fact, it was a natural reaction.
“Hey, there can’t be two suns under the sky! The sunset family must always be the sunset behind the sun!! If they embrace the stars once more…!”
“There are rumors that the Bywalk family will be promoted to the dukes… If that’s true, it’s almost half-confirmed.”
“Your sister and brother share a husband…?
It was because Clana’s list of people included in the public list, except for Serena, who was Frey’s fiancée from the beginning, was either at the peak or full of controversy.
“Anyway… An explanation of the justification would be enough.”
‘I can’t accept this!!’
‘It’s unacceptable to have multiple wives in the first place, but you dare include the emperor? Is there any such blasphemous sutras?’
‘You must protest in a loud voice right now!’
So, by the time Clana was about to finish the presentation, quite a few nobles were shaking their heads with the intention of protesting loudly at any moment.
“…Do you have any objections to my decision?”
However.
“Raise your hand if you have it. I didn’t originally intend to reach an agreement, but I specifically allow an objection at this moment.”
“”……..””
Putting it into practice was another matter.
– Gripping support…
After ascending to the throne, Clana, whose characteristic wrinkled appearance completely disappeared and transformed into a charismatic figure, was exuding an ‘aura of domination’ to the extent that it lightly overwhelms the previous emperor.
“…Damn it. Probably next to Hero.”
“Is this all already planned?”
There was also a reason why Frey, who was smiling innocently next to her, reminded the nobles of the Empire the memories of ‘getting discipline’.
“That person is just…”
“I envy the warrior…”
And the lower aristocrats and commoners, except for the high-ranking nobles who had a political position in the first place.
“The flowers of young girls fall like this.”
“…but I think there will be a lot of flying bees.”
He was simply envious of Frey or regretting that he was a married man, but he was agreeing with the declaration itself.
“Okay. Unless there is an objection, let this story end here.”
Even though there was no one who could prevent them from enforcing the legal issues in the first place.
“Then, I would like to express my sincere thanks to those gathered here today…”
As soon as the situation was cleared up, Clana began to talk while clearing her voice.
“I conclude the coronation ceremony with the last words I want to say to everyone.”
The coronation ceremony of the greatest emperor in the history of the empire, which would exceed the fame of the first emperor, was coming to an end.
.
“The period of stagnation and division that had long settled in the Empire and the world is now over.”
Clana’s resolute voice resounds in all directions.
“The sun has returned to its original form, the oath has been restored, and the warrior has once again won victory.”
The weight and meaning of her words were felt by everyone gathered at the coronation ceremony.
From ordinary people such as farmers and merchants, to those who sit in the highest positions of the Empire, and even to the monarchs of other countries.
“Those who have witnessed the end of the Dark Age before their eyes.”
So, in an atmosphere that became so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be clearly heard.
“Let’s all create the era of light that will unfold from now on.”
After Clana’s short speech,
“”Waa!!!””
Not only in front of the imperial family, but the whole of the empire was filled with great cheers.
“…the age of light.”
“Well, it sure feels good.”
commoners, nobles, and other peoples.
They were all gathered with different goals and human groups, but for this moment, they were all united and rejoicing at the beginning of a new era.
“…whoah.”
So, around the time when everyone got drunk on that atmosphere and became one.
“It ended better than I thought.”
“Perfect, Clanna.”
Leaving everyone behind and taking a step back, Clana sighed and began to turn to Frey and the others.
“Then, shall we reap the ancient magic?”
“It was difficult to maintain, though. Why is there a provision for maintaining ancient magic during the coronation ceremony?”
“I want to play treason with you! Clana-san!”
Irina and Perloche started to gather ancient magic while smiling at her.
– Grip support support…!!!
At the coronation ceremony where I thought that everything would go smoothly.
“What, what?”
“…OMG?”
It was at that moment that the extraordinary happened.
.
“Heh heh heh heh…”
The girl who was standing still with her robe turned over next to the black-eyed mage, with a gloomy smile, stretched out her hand to the sky.
“Clana. I’m sorry.”
– Kugugung! Kugong!!
“…this sister, I’ll intercept your happy ending.”
Out of her robe, muttering in a dark voice, her pale blonde hair swayed slightly protruding.
“Hurry up. We must intervene before they close the ancient magic.”
“Yeah, if I succeed in interfering with that ancient magic, who is of imperial blood… I’m going to exchange my soul for Clanna, right?”
“…I would have sworn to death already.”
Then, when she asked a question in response to the cracking voice heard from the side, Matapju answered in a low voice.
“Fuck, it was.”
At that moment, Rifael, who had a relieved expression on her face, continued the story with a smile on her face.
“By the way, I really couldn’t have imagined it.”
“……..”
“I can’t believe you’re going to do something like this until you get me out of jail…”
“…Focus on the intervention.”
“Hey, that’s not funny.”
However, at that moment when Rifael, who opened his mouth to the chilly reaction of Matapju, began to focus on the intervention again.
“You… what?”
“”……..!!!””
Behind them, an unbelievable voice could be heard.
“How the hell do you… have that power?”
“…tt.”
He quickly turned his head to the place where the voice came from, and then Ma Thapju with a cold expression on his tongue.
“Matap Master, how are you using his powers!!”
“If you don’t want to die, you better pretend you didn’t see it.”
“Joe, you’re being manipulated!! That, that octopus child!!”
Roswin, who had been looking suspiciously at the two of them before, hurriedly rushed to them with the mana of the sun in his hand.
– Pajik…!
“…Ugh.”
Taken from noblemtl.com
Matapju, who lightly stopped her with magic, pulled something out of her arms with a cold gaze that was unimaginably cold in normal times.
“…you mean ‘this’?”
“……!!!”
Roswin, who struggled with all his might, saw what was inside the small glass bottle she took out and immediately put on an astonished expression on her face.
“I’m sorry, but it’s the other way around.”
“No, that’s ridiculous…”
Eyes with a fairly familiar shape were floating around in the bottle, losing focus.
