There Was a Porter Who Would One Day Be Called a Prophet chapter 31

31 – This time it will be different

“That neck belongs to me.”

I faced the emperor who sentenced me to death once again.

He still radiated an aura befitting the title of emperor and stood tall among the guards.

As if it was only natural to look down at everyone present.

The moment I was about to say my first words to such an emperor.

“Your Majesty. I have something to say.”

Arya took the first step and stood before the emperor.

“I won’t allow it.”

“You may find it hard to believe, but everything I am about to tell you is true.”

The emperor’s face moved slightly as if Arya was unusual when she started saying that.

“A little while ago, I was attacked by a group of assailants.”

-Your Highness! Is it really!

-What kind of a bastard would rip and kill our highness!

-You are not injured anywhere!

The surrounding servants stood up as if they were extreme parents who witnessed their child being beaten somewhere.

Look how hot the reaction is.

Aria. Were you the Aidoru of the Imperial Palace?

“Stop.”

The heat, reminiscent of a frantic concert, was cooled down by the emperor’s words.

“Looking at you talking like this in front of Jim, you seem to have overcome everything.”

At first glance, he may seem like an indifferent father to his children, but this is a high level of turnaround.

Parents praising that their child who was beaten once hit a teenager.

“To my shame, I was poisoned and had to face death without showing my full abilities.”

-……

However, the words that came out of Arya’s mouth were enough to freeze the entire palace.

Does George look like an emperor?

Seeing the Emperor’s face hardened, he must have been quite shocked.

“..Is that true?”

“Durandal.”

Instead of answering, Arya called for the warrior, and the warrior brought Jill Dredd, a former loyalist (now) traitor, brought to her by a rope, and brought him to the emperor.

“Ah..Ah..”

Jill Dredd shook her head and bowed her head, wondering where she had been in front of Aria a few hours ago.

After staring at Gildred for a moment, the emperor demanded an answer from Arya.

“..Please explain.”

“Gildred, whom I believed to be a loyalist, handed me poisoned tea.”

Each of the servants raised their voices, as if those words had become a catalyst.

– Kill the traitor!

-That bastard dares to enter the palace!

-I’ll take the guillotine right now!

The Aria fan clubs who rose again this time.

But who is the guillotine? How do you command that big thing?

That moment. The emperor, who had been motionless until now, began to move.

“Thousands of people who have sinned have knelt before me.”

A chilling voice encroaching on the inside of the imperial palace.

“Do you know what they have in common?”

The appearance I faced before was so cute, it was like watching a huge poisonous spider close to suffocating its prey caught in its web with thread.

“If they were truly unfair, they struggled to prove their innocence in any way they could, facing the risk of death. Some were crying, while others were praying.”

“Hee-eok… Heh..!”

Gildred exhaled a rough breath as if he could not bear the emperor’s gaze.

“But you don’t see anything like that.”

Even the emperor seemed unwilling to hide his anger this time.

“You bastard… Did you dare to harm the future of the empire without even knowing the subject…!”

‘This crazy…’

My legs trembled at the sight of the emperor exuding energy on a different level than before.

I wondered if it was just me, so I looked around and saw that the servants had already bent their knees, and the ones standing in the seats were Aria and me, as well as a party of warriors. And there was only the emperor himself. Even that, except for Arya, the rest of the faces were hardened.

Look at how he treats you as his son..

Jill Dredd, who was receiving it right in front of his nose, was already foaming at his mouth and was on the verge of collapsing.

The emperor approached Gildred and asked, looking at his hand.

“Yes.. Is this hand. The hand of a traitor who threatened the future of the empire?”

It happened in the blink of an eye.

A quicksword that was appropriately described as being really neat, which was wielded by pulling out the sword that was hanging from Arya’s waist.

“Uh..Uhh..?”

I could sense that he didn’t even know he had been cut from Gildred’s expression as he stared at the place where his hand had been.

‘No, there is a setting that he rolled on the battlefield directly before the armistice, but does that make sense since it wasn’t even Leeds?’

Arya also looked at her own empty scabbard and made a similar expression to her Jill Dredd.

You didn’t know either.

“Quaaagh!”

Gildred’s screams resonated in the imperial palace, but everyone seemed to be suppressed by the emperor’s anger and did not hear anything like that.

The blood gushing from his wrists stained the floor of the imperial palace red.

The Emperor, who had trimmed off his hands and feet, returned Arya’s sword and gave orders to her servants.

“Because Jim must see the end himself, keep him alive until he is executed tomorrow.”

When the emperor’s order fell, the servants quickly rushed to collect Gildred.

They gave me three days. He has no car

When I was interrogating you earlier, I didn’t know anything about demons, so it doesn’t matter if I die. The only thing that was useful was the person who gave the poison and the person who first suggested it, but they must have been demons.

“Go ahead.”

“Oh, yes.”

Arya, who had been lost, came to her senses at the emperor’s words and continued.

“As the knife fell over his head, he threw himself and saved my life.”

At those words, the emperor turned her head to look at me, and the eyes of the emperor were quite different from before.

How is it? Do you look different now?

Unlike the traitor who was just taken away, this is the hand that saved the future of the empire.

“…”

The emperor just looked at me in silence and then opened his mouth.

“I heard that you, who were sentenced to death and were waiting for the day to die, saved the crown prince… Is that true?”

‘In the original story, the emperor went to war because he was blinded by the death of his son, but this can’t go wrong.’

Arya prepared to drive her wedges while she felt that she had crossed the pace.

“Your Majesty. He saved my life. He saved the future of the Empire.”

Well done Aria!

Drive on!

“In addition, everything Lee Ja said to His Majesty that day is true…”

“Kairis di Arya Arachnen.”

The emperor’s words cut Arya’s defense, turning the mood once again.

“Jim didn’t ask for your opinion.”

“But…!”

“Don’t be reckless. The emperor of the empire is in front of you now.”

“Your Majesty…?”

“No matter how much you say you are the crown prince, there are lines that must be followed.”

They said that there are no parents who win over their children, so here they are.

“But now you look like…”

Parents’ eyes full of disappointment.

“You’re talking like you’re already an emperor.”

“…”

“It’s still too early for Jim.”

This atmosphere. Same as back then.

It’s the same reaction as when a warrior stands out and tries to prove it.

“It seems certain that the crown prince is in danger, so I’ll have to listen closely. You bastard over there.”

The emperor turned his eyes away from Arya and looked at me.

“I’ll give you a chance to have a private meeting with Jim.”

“Your Majesty! He died alone! They say he saved Your Highness, but that’s too dangerous!”

Loyal servants gave their opinions, but the emperor was stubborn.

“Whoever disagrees with Jim, come forward. I will remember his face.”

“…”

He suppressed the opposition of his servants with just two words.

“Porter…”

“Hey..You..”

“Brother..”

“Are you okay?”

“Sorry..”

The party members and Aria sent me a word each to see if they were worried about facing the emperor alone.

“Don’t worry, everyone.”

To catch a tiger, you have to enter the tiger’s den. Because I have to negotiate with the emperor.

“I’ll be back.”

It will be different this time, Emperor.

***

Following the Emperor into the throne room, the Emperor bit everyone there except me.

Now, it’s really only the two of us left.

Whoa.

‘Kyumdol. Cast a spell of courage on me.’

– Kwy!

I met the emperor’s eyes, feeling the refreshing energy spreading through my body.

“Your unflinching gaze in front of Jim is still the same.”

I felt that it was not easy from the start.

“Yes. You should be rewarded for your actions in saving the crown prince. I will make the death penalty a thing that never happened.”

Of course, that’s the first priority, but you saved the empire. You say you’re just messing around with that?

Is that the only thing you can spend as emperor?

“Of course, that alone is not enough.”

I’m sorry I dared to doubt, Your Majesty.

“I’ll ask you one thing. Tell me what you want.”

‘What’s different? Money? Wisdom? Is it also a mansion?’

The time when I was expanding myriad possibilities by riding the capitalist algorithm.

I suddenly remembered that I was not able to reach this place by myself.

‘Are you crazy? I almost lost my life, but I have to choose the right reward. Why am I thinking about that right now?’

When I put it on the scale in my head, I got an unexpected result that I didn’t expect at all.

‘Is this correct? Really?’

“You must have been surprisingly greedy. Even while the emperor was waiting.”

My head became more confused at the emperor’s urging.

But one thing was certain.

If you ignore this and move on, you will live with regrets in your heart.

‘Hey, you as*hole. What’s different about that I just feel comfortable and it’s over. This may not be a chance again, so are you going to blow it like this?’

While I was struggling with my inner thoughts, I remembered the words of my teacher.

-Oo Ah. In life, there comes a moment when everyone falls. You’ll be able to meet someone who will lift you up after you fall down.

When you stand up later, don’t forget the person who helped you. If you forget, it’s not a person, it’s a beast. A beast.

Teacher? The teacher doesn’t ask for anything, so it’s okay. Just as long as the oo grows right, that’s enough.

If you say that, what am I going to do? Ashamed.

I am learning one thing today.

With the hesitation gone, I looked straight at the emperor and opened my mouth.

“Insulting party members. I want you to apologize in front of everyone.”
