148 – The person who comes to save me
Cornelia did not come to educate her fiancé.
Evan looked down at the device screen in silence. She didn’t receive any special messages from Cornelia.
There must be some reason, and is it right to pass it on?
Until now, Cornelia had always let Evan know when something happened. Evan felt strange.
“Oppa.”
Juri, who was looking at Evan with her chin resting on the sofa, hinted. Her Juri’s expression turned grave… It was as if she were a riddle-making god of fate.
“Can Juri help her brother?”
“…… ? Okay.”
“Ugh… It’s nothing special, the 3rd princess comes every day to educate her fiancé. “Since you didn’t come today, I was wondering if you went to the imperial palace.”
“……….”
This is the Witch King turning his back on the horse.
Cornelia is actually at the imperial palace.
Evan looked back at Michael.
“Michael, have you heard anything?”
“Lord Rose did say that there might be a delay today due to work at the imperial palace.”
Michael answered awkwardly.
Evan felt a tingling sensation in his intuition. Something happened. Otherwise, the Witch King who plays her sister wouldn’t have given a hint like this.
Evan made up his mind and organized the documents.
“Thank you, Juri. “Is there anything you wish for?”
“Well, well…” By any chance, the garden you took me to last time… “Can we go again?”
“I understand.”
Juri felt satisfied with Evan’s agreement. I can’t believe I can go back to the hill with the beautiful night sky with Dawn.
She didn’t have a good cause, but it turned out well.
※
As soon as something happened in the imperial palace, the Witch King deployed protection magic to the 1st princess Aria and the 3rd princess Cornelia.
Aria was needed to control the magic tower, and Cornelia was a princess who often visited the House of Dawn.
Park, pak! Papak!!
Charlie’s spies stabbed her second daughter, Carolyn, repeatedly. Screams of fear rang out here and there, and in the midst of the chaos, Dean Noah and the guards cut off the spies’ heads.
“How dare these crazy people!! Immediately arrest everyone here and treat Karen!”
Dean Noah took control of the situation. Cutting off the spies’ throats. One spy tried to keep her alive for interrogation, but committed suicide by biting the poison in her mouth. The spy’s skin turns blue.
Karlen, stabbed by her sword, lost consciousness as her body trembled.
‘That’s enough.’
Charlie decided to be satisfied at this point. The East will fall into chaos after losing Karen. Just enough to not hinder Charlie’s advance on the capital.
Because we will trick them into not knowing that the culprit who attacked the princesses was Charlie. It might be possible.
Charlie raised his hand slightly. Then the ministers and collateral royal family members who had been recruited by Charlie made an uproar.
“There may be a murderer here, so how can I be arrested! “I’m leaving here!”
“Don’t touch my body! “I am a blood relative of the Imperial Family of Ishtar!”
They did not listen to Noah’s control.
Charlie was planning to end the situation like this and go back.
To manipulate public opinion.
Most of the empire’s largest newspapers had already been purchased by Charlie.
If newspapers reported that today’s incident was the work of 1st Prince Henry, it would be sufficient justification.
Henry will attack Charlie with the palace’s official announcement, but the key is how many people can believe it rather than the truth. As people read more newspapers, they may be confused about which side is true.
Tsutsutsu… ….
The wizards who came with Charlie activated the teleportation spell. It’s like trying to escape the imperial palace. The Witch King, who was quietly observing the situation, interrupted the magic.
‘Where.’
The Witch King was not going to let Charlie escape.
Disappearing teleportation magic. Charlie’s wizards were visibly perplexed. They were wizards skilled enough to breach the security of the imperial palace, but their magic was interrupted.
The wizards repeatedly activated teleportation magic as if there had been a mistake.
Tsch… Pushy.
The teleportation magic disappeared as soon as it was created. At this time, Charlie also felt strange. The current power of the imperial palace was carefully investigated in advance, but something went wrong.
‘I should plant it for now.’
The Witch King controlled Gigantina and implanted unclean magic in Charlie. So that I can become the Witch King’s servant at any time.
I made a promise to Dawn. If you help Dawn, we can go see the night sky. That cannot be interrupted just because of the second prince.
After seeing that Charlie couldn’t escape, Noah narrowed her eyes.
“Something isn’t working out the way you want, Charlie?”
‘…… Damn it.’
Charlie felt a sense of crisis.
Why doesn’t the teleportation magic work?
This place is like Henry’s living room, so I didn’t want to fight here.
But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a way.
Charlie had prepared just in case.
“Everyone draw your swords! “Kill it!!”
Charlie gave orders to those he had recruited. Just in case, he planted a dozen masters in the imperial palace. Because he was visiting His Majesty the Emperor.
Park! Papak!
The masters took away the weapons of the prince’s knights and took their lives. When entering the palace, it was important to return the weapon and retrieve it first.
Noah’s face was distorted hideously.
“You’re finally showing your true colors, Charlie!!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Swan Father? We just don’t want to be subject to undue control!”
“Are you trying to turn away until the end! “This is treason no matter who sees it!”
Noah felt like her head was spinning with excitement.
How could she harm her own family on the day her father lay sick! Even if you are an uneducated child, there is a time and a place for it.
“Know that the sky is scary, Innoom!”
Kugugugugugu……….
Noah unleashed her magic. The fierce magic power emitted by someone who has reached the highest rank of master.
Charlie’s disguised masters stood by her side and unleashed her magic power.
Noah glared at them and ordered.
“Protect the crown prince! Call all masters in the capital! “I will kill the traitorous Second Prince Charlie!”
“Ha… Clear a path! Brother Henry and Father Swan are trying to frame me and purge me! “I must resolve this injustice!”
Charlie continued to lie. So that the neutral nobles can stand on Charlie’s side at least a little. It was as if the civil war had already begun.
Chaeng! Chachaechaeng!
Everyone who had weapons drew their weapons, and the imperial palace became a mess.
※
Cornelia was afraid.
I can’t believe the predicted civil war broke out in this way. She wasn’t sure if Cornelia would be able to survive in the imperial palace.
Chaeng! Visor!!
Knifings took place everywhere. The smell of her fishy blood, the smell of iron, and the shouts of people made Cornelia’s head dizzy. The only troops Cornelia brought with her were Rose Hana and some of her guards. Rose was sweating coldly as his arm had been cut by a blind knife.
“Rose…… !”
“Heo-eok, heo-eok…” Sir, are you okay?”
“I’m fine…” But Rose…… !”
“First, please go to the corner. It’s dangerous… Lowering.”
This is a crisis.
This place is like hell for Cornelia, who already has no master.
Cornelia and Rose just hid in the corner of the passage like rats hiding in a hole.
‘Ah……….’
Cornelia’s consciousness fell into dark clouds.
Cornelia recalled her own past.
She must have been exactly 12 years old when Cornelia was very small. Abama has been worried ever since.
She was a distant father to Cornelia.
The Heretic Kingdom to the west, the barbarians to the north, and the dragon tribes to the east. The empire was burdensome for the emperor, who had to maintain three fronts at the same time. The emperor was so overburdened with work that he had no time to care about his family.
Because of this, Cornelia was raised by her nurse. The Empress was traveling all over the rooms of her empire to treat her emperor, and she sometimes had to make big decisions that the emperor could not.
Everyone was impatient. In order to maintain a large organization called the empire, it was essential.
To Cornelia, her family was similar to others.
‘Even if I disappear, Abama and Eomamama won’t care.’
The life of the 3rd princess was like a doll.
She received a prescribed royal education, and lived as if she were imprisoned in the palace of the third princess. Occasionally, Mama Mama, who flashed her face at Cornelia, simply inquired about her court manners, as if receiving confirmation from her servant.
Cornelia was upset. How is she doing so far, is there anything uncomfortable? She was Cornelia, who wanted a warm word, but Mama just kept her eyes on her documents as if she was being chased.
Actually, Cornelia knew it too.
The empire is having a hard time. Enemies in the west, north, and east are putting pressure on the empire every day. Cornelia also knew that she had no choice.
So even when times got on her mind, she didn’t show it.
But one day, when the empire becomes stable… Wouldn’t her parents take care of Cornelia? However, an incident occurred that made her give up even on that.
Park!
Cornelia was attacked by an assassin. The masked man holding her dagger in his hand was aiming for Cornelia’s heart. Fortunately, the knights who came to the guard subdued the assassin, but Cornelia cannot forget the moment when her heart pounded as if it would explode.
Although the evidence has disappeared, the real culprit who sent the assassin was her second princess, Carlen.
From this point on, Cornelia knew that the royal family was trying to kill each other. To become emperor. He wants to kill her family for his power.
This shocking incident caused Cornelia to lose even more of her affection for her family.
She had given up.
In the end, the only thing that will protect Cornelia herself is her own strength.
Aren’t these knights who are now killing each other proof of that?
Pot!
Charlie’s masters went on a rampage. Now that things are like this, it seems like they are going to kill at least one more member of the royal family. When Charlie’s master approached with his shining flesh burning, Rose blocked him with her blade.
“Don’t come near…” Lord Ruslano.”
“Hmm… “Are you trying to protect the 3rd princess in a dangerous environment?”
“Do not lie. “Don’t act like a bloodthirsty animal!”
“Tsk.”
You are quick to notice.
Charlie’s Master Ruslano raised a thick bastard sword. Downward posture.
‘The emperor must become the second prince.’
The second prince is an emperor suitable for an empire with many enemies. The second prince, a war hero. He will be the best at crushing the enemies of the Empire. So wouldn’t it be right for him to kill the royal family members who interfere with him in the slightest?
Ruslano held his breath and struck down the bastard sword. First, I’m going to kill Rose and then Cornelia.
Kwasik!
In an instant, the Bastard Sword split in half.
The silver-haired boy appeared like lightning and cut off Ruslano’s throat.
“How dare you try to kill someone?”

Evan arrived at the imperial palace with steps that opened the darkness and flashed his sword together with Maya.
Cornelia felt like she was dreaming.
She did not tell her benefactor that she was going to the imperial palace, but her benefactor appeared in front of her.
The moment Charlie’s masters drew their swords, they gave up…….
Cornelia felt a moving emotion. She actually regretted that she should have come with her benefactor. As long as she has a benefactor, she is not afraid of any enemy.
On the other hand, she was hesitant. She isn’t just visiting Abamama, but is it right for her to bring her benefactor? I wonder if she is bothering her benefactor.
Here, the benefactor came to Cornelia even though she had not even spoken.
To save Cornelia from danger.
Cornelia recalled the benefactor who came to save her when she was attacked by the heretic church last year. It’s like she’s a prince who comes to Cornelia’s rescue whenever she’s in danger.
Cornelia’s heart was beating wildly.
“Benefactor……… !”
“Cornelia, are you okay?”
Evan asks Cornelia if she is okay.
Cornelia felt relieved. Fear disappears like a lie. I feel like I can do anything as long as my benefactor is in front of me… Cornelia shed tears without realizing it. She was happy She said her benefactor had come to save her.
Cornelia cried and laughed.
It is safe now. The benefactor has come… Cornelia agreed with her quivering mouth.
“…… Yes.”
