61. Misunderstanding
“Nice to meet you. I was going to announce today, but… I am Rebecca von Midgard, who became the Emperor of the Midgard Empire.”
“…!”
Yu-eun’s hair turned white at the greeting of the woman who opened the door, no, the ‘Emperor’.
Because of her hair color, which is the first time she has seen her since she was born?
Or beautiful looks?
Or because of the meaning of the word emperor that came out of her mouth?
No… It wasn’t.
Why did she suddenly feel dizzy and hold her head…
“Are you okay?”
Ugh-
The energy felt from the body of the ‘Emperor’ who has now approached Yueun.
It was because of Master’s energy.
[The eye of insight that overlooks all things grasps the essence of the object!]
-Goooooh
An overwhelming presence, as if the sea were contained in a person’s body, began to oppress Yoo-eun.
‘Master’s energy…!’
“Awesome..!”
It was an energy that assimilated with the surroundings to the extent that ordinary people could not even feel it, but to Yoo-eun, who had eyes so brilliant, Yoo-hyeon’s energy filled her room and came as a great pressure.
“Why are you doing that all of a sudden..?”
When Rebecca, who felt her doubt, approached her, Eun-eun Yoo snapped at the pressure she felt to the point of wanting to kneel down on her own.
‘I can’t kneel down to a woman who is not even a teacher and only has the energy of a teacher..!’
“Huh..!”
Yoo Eun, who managed to resist the pressure by pulling her body up, wiped a drop of cold sweat from her forehead.
“I’m sorry. I haven’t been feeling well for a while…”
Rebecca said with a worried expression at Yueun’s answer.
“Oops… It looks like the injury hasn’t fully healed yet…”
“No, I’m fine now.”
Yoo-Eun shook her head at Rebecca’s words and only then was able to take a closer look at Rebecca’s bare face that was hidden by her energy.
Her bright and beautiful colored hair and face, and her large chest, which she discovered belatedly, made Yoo-eun unable to take her eyes off.
I don’t know what kind of relationship she has with Yoo-hyeon, but judging from how she feels his energy, around the time Yoo-eun feels a strange sense of defeat at the violent body of a woman who is clearly not a normal relationship.
“Did you get anything on my face?”
Seeing Rebecca’s question as she tilted her head, Eun Eun hurriedly looked at her and answered.
“Oh..No. The hair color is strange..Sorry.”
“Hmm…My hair color isn’t common. Ah, I didn’t come here to talk about this.”
Rebecca said that and received something from the maid who was setting the table next to her.
“Would you like to read this?”
What Rebecca offered was a contract.
“This is…?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Before today’s awards ceremony, um..So…Sword Angel?”
Rebecca, who hadn’t heard Yueun’s name due to the incident just before, said her title.
“Kuu..! Call me Baek Yoo-eun..”
“Ah..Yes, I was really impressed with Yueun Baek’s performance. That’s why I came here to make a suggestion.”
“A suggestion…?”
“Yes. According to the results of the investigation by the Ministry of Information, it has been less than a year since he was summoned, but in one day, dozens of A-class monsters were killed and even if the citizens who were saved by Yoo Eun-nim were gathered, the number would exceed hundreds. It’s not enough to be called that.”
“..Just did what had to be done.”
Yoo-eun lowered her head reddened at Rebecca’s openly reciting her performance.
“No. What you have done is not something to be slandered so casually. That’s why I came here myself. So what I want to say is that Baek Yoo-eun is a member of the Imperial family’s adventure team, which will be newly created by gathering summoners this time. I want you to be the captain.”
Rebecca said to Yoo-eun with a determined expression.
“As you can see from the contract, Yueun Baek’s duties will not change. As she gives you quite a lot of benefits, you will have to go back to dungeons regularly.”
As Rebecca said, let’s look at her contract. She also wrote a lot of benefits, such as an amount of money and support for her place of residence, even for Yoo-eun, who became an A-class adventurer.
But she calmly read her contract and put it down on her table.
“Thank you for your words, but I will decline.”
Rebecca looked at her with a slightly surprised expression at her words, and asked.
“..Why? I thought it was a pretty good deal.
Yoo Eun shook her head at Rebecca’s words.
“It’s not just because of that. It’s just… I have work to do.”
Rebecca nodded her head in regret at Yueun’s expression, as if she had made up her mind.
“I understand. I don’t know what the circumstances are, but it’s unfortunate. Then, if you change your mind, please visit the imperial palace.”
As Rebecca put down her teacup, got up from her chair and tried to leave her room, her voice caught her.
“Your Majesty…”
“Hmm? Anything to say?”
When Rebecca looked back at her call, Yoo-eun with golden eyes asked.
“There’s something I’d like to ask you.”
Rebecca was a little taken aback by Yu-eun’s expression, which somehow felt even determined.
“Ehhhhh? What are you curious about?”
Yoo Eun’s face, which had been somehow mild-mannered when she had brown eyes earlier, suddenly turned into that of a warrior ahead of a decisive battle and began to see through Rebecca.
“It’s disrespectful. No matter how hard you try, such an attitude in front of His Majesty…”
The maid who was standing behind Rebecca was holding a sharp knife in her hand, guarding the front of Rebecca.
“It’s okay. Back off.”
“..Yes”
However, when Rebecca dissuades the maid, she returns to her original position in an instant.
“What are you so curious about, why are you looking at me so eagerly?”
Yueun, who was still looking at her with her eyes shining, opened her mouth.
“…Who did you get that energy from?”
“…!”
Rebecca, startled by Yoo Eun’s low question, couldn’t hide her embarrassment.
‘You said Seo Bang-nim wouldn’t get caught? Ah! No way..?’
The image of Yoohyeon explaining her aura to her own body came to mind.
– At this level… No one will recognize your energy. Ah, my apprentice might recognize it.
-Seobangnim, did you have any students? Where are you now?
It was a conversation that went by without a big deal, but Rebecca was strangely convinced after seeing Yoo-eun’s determined expression.
‘Are you Seobang’s disciple? I want to be friends..!’
Rebecca, feeling a sudden surge of intimacy with Yoo-eun, spoke to the maid standing behind her.
“Everyone, get out. I have something to tell you.”
“But Your Majesty…!”
The maid was shocked by Rebecca’s sudden order, but
“Are you violating orders? Get out.”
“…Yes majesty.”
At Rebecca’s order, the maid quietly went to visit.
Rebecca, who sat down again in the room where only the two of her were left, took a closer look at Yoo Eun, who was still staring at her as if she were looking at her sister-in-law, instead of looking at her competent talent before. Began to see.
‘Huh~ She’s slender, but her eyes are round, and she’s wary of me.
“Kuhmm…”
When Yu-eun, who felt burdened by the sight of Rebecca opening her eyes and looking at herself with a strange expression, cleared her throat, Rebecca, who was thinking rudely in her head, shook her head and said,
“Oh, I’m sorry. So, can you see the energy in my body?”
In response to Rebecca’s question, she swallowed her saliva and answered.
“Yes.. I can see the energy that fills my whole body.. The owner of that energy seems to be someone I know..”
Rebecca felt her confidence add to her own thoughts at her Yu-eun’s words, she said.
“Hmmm… You’re sure to be suspicious. By the way, do you think he’s someone you care about? Seeing that you’re asking me that much?”
Yu-eun clenched her fists for some reason at her question.
“That’s right… He’s a very precious person to me…”
At Yoo-eun’s words, Rebecca smiled broadly at the thought that she had more friends who knew Yoo-hyeon, who was hard to show.
“This is a coincidence! I’m a bit different from you, but you’re a very important person to me too!”
And lifted Yoohyeon’s energy from her hand,
“That’s enough to say it’s my everything!”
Let Rebecca look at Yoo Eun with her happy face,
“Huh..?”
Torreure-
There was Yu-eun, her face flushed red, shedding a single tear as if she couldn’t overcome her resentment.
“Huh..?”
While Rebecca was taken aback by the sudden change of situation,
That That That That-
Yoo-eun spurred on her seat with a quick step and got up before leaving her room.
Even after Yu-eun left, she couldn’t judge the situation, so Rebecca, who had been blank for a while, muttered.
“What did I.. Do wrong..?”
Rebecca’s plan, which she wanted to be close to as a person with the commonality of Yoohyeon, collapsed magnificently from the beginning.
————————
“…Who did you get that energy from?”
She actually knew before she even asked.
The emotion felt from the aura flowing through the emperor’s body was unmistakably love and protection…
Still, the emperor’s expression changed at the question he uttered out of the need to confirm.
Her gaze pierced as if she knew who I was as soon as she knew she could see her master’s aura.
-Everyone knows who you are. He told me.
She cleared her throat for a moment and fought back resolutely at the stare as if she were saying that, but she couldn’t hide her fist that was clenched spontaneously.
Seeing that she knows herself and she feels joy that Master has not forgotten her, she feels contradictory feelings of resentment for abandoning herself and choosing someone else. .
“Hmmm… You’re sure to be suspicious. By the way, do you think he’s someone you care about? Seeing that you’re asking me that much?”
-The owner of this aura is someone you like?
My teeth clench on their own when I saw the emperor looking at me as if I was looking down, but I held it in and said.
“That’s right… He’s a very precious person to me…”
The words she uttered with a sneer on her face, as if she heard her laugh at those words.
“This is a coincidence! I’m a bit different from you, but you’re a very important person to me too!”
-Come now? Unlike you who hesitated and lost it, your teacher is already my precious person?
The emperor, who brought out the energy of her Yuhyeon as if to show off her, told her to give up.
“That’s enough to say it’s my everything!”
-Give it up because it’s already mine.
I was about to feel the string of rationality being cut at her words.
– Disappointed. Baek Yoo-eun, I believed in you…
‘Ah, Master would hate me if I did this..’
Just imagining Yoohyeon’s expression of disappointment in her made her feel a distant sense of despair.
Feeling helpless and something hot running down her cheeks, she ran away from the spot.
I heard a number of sounds that grabbed me as I ran away, but they became meaningless noise and scattered in my ears.
I somehow managed to get to the inn, but in the end I ran away without doing anything.
‘I’m sure you’ll be disappointed. Master and colleagues.’
Since Yoohyeon fled openly in front of the emperor he cherished, it was obvious that his hatred had been set in him. Even the party members must have expected the prize they would receive today…
As Yueun was crouching down on her bed, wiping away her tears, she heard something coming from the window of her room.
