249. Emperor of Cantum
#
Cantum was quieter than ever.
It was because everyone was doing their best not to disturb the hero’s rest.
Unfortunately, even the wounded kept their mouths shut.
The therapists said they were concerned.
“Are you okay? Don’t do that, you can make noises if you’re sick.”
“no. Really… that’s fine.”
“I’m going to give you some medicine. It might hurt a little.”
“Ugh.”
The wounded groaned and aided the hero’s calm.
Everyone was doing the best they could for the hero who saved Cantum.
Of course, it wasn’t just the people.
“For the wounded, this way . . . Those who can move should help others as much as possible.”
“Restoration of broken houses is a top priority. Prioritize everything else. Are you going to put your family to bed in the dew?”
“no!”
“quietly. Keep your mouth shut, but move quickly.”
“number of people.”
The 1st Princess and Kai Stein’s 2nd Princess Irene.
Unlike the other royal families who ran away, they took the lead and worked.
In particular, Irene mobilized not only herself but also her escort knights to the extent of carrying materials herself.
One of her eunuchs cautiously opened her mouth towards her.
“Why does a noble like you do such a lowly thing…”
“Who decided the heavens of the lowly and noble? If someone has to do something, I just do it myself. It’s not for cheap sympathy or anything. Help me when I have time to say that.”
Of course, she had to do her job with her, throwing away her precious clothes.
But they had vigor.
The hope of rebuilding the broken Cantum was budding.
On the other hand, it was different here.
smart.
This is the prison where the cold water is dripping.
There was a man shouting with a desperate face.
“You can’t take me out! I am the prince of this country! This kind of treatment … is unforgivable!”
The 2nd Prince.
Even though his lower body was crushed by Ion’s
“Hey! Who doesn’t? I am the 2nd prince! He is the man who will rule the half of Kantum in the future!”
Of course, there was no one to answer him when he shouted.
Rather, the guards were screaming.
“I can’t be quiet! Hero, no. What blasphemy is this while Lee Eon-nim is resting!”
“What… are you not a soldier of Kantum? Why can’t a prince of a foreign country be higher than the second prince of his own country?”
“The second prince is a horn. It wasn’t enough to assassinate His Majesty the Majesty of the Emperor.
“Yeah… neo oh oh oh! How dare you despise me!”
The 2nd prince could not stand the divergence and began to riot.
The guards couldn’t stand it any longer.
“I can’t do it any more. I have to show you.”
“Hey, are you okay? Anyway, the opponent is the prince? Are you royalty?”
“Does such a handsome man betray the country and the people? Tell me not to laugh.”
“It is.”
“Even if you kill this guy, you’ll be rewarded.”
The guards opened the prison door with their clubs.
The second prince, whose lower body was broken, couldn’t even escape.
Soon afterward, a club poultice followed him.
Puck puck!
“That… can’t you stop… can’t you stop it?”
“Then why didn’t I tell you to shut your mouth!”
After a long beating.
The guards spit in his face and went out.
“You filthy traitor.”
“You bastard who even killed my father!”
Hugh!
The 2nd prince barely opened his eyes, which he could not see properly due to the poultice of the club.
wow
He wept.
I didn’t know where the hell it went wrong.
‘Why didn’t you kill the 7th Prince then? Or is it because you didn’t kill the First Princess or Leonic?’
Even if I didn’t just hold Ion’s hand…
If only I had kept holding Leon’s hand…
No, if he hadn’t put the sword on the Emperor’s back, it wouldn’t have been like this.
wrong in the pastRegrets ran through my head at the choice.
That was then.
again and again
The sound of footsteps could be heard inside the cold prison.
Already looking around, the guards were nowhere to be seen.
The second prince confirmed the main character of the footsteps, and his eyes fluttered.
“You… are you?”
“Long time no see. Brother.”
Exactly one princess.
It was during her time when she was fighting over her throne that she came to him.
The second prince could finally laugh.
“okay. I thought you would come You’re here to keep your promise!”
He remembered it well.
That’s what happened, but he had promised to give away part of Cantum in exchange for relinquishing the throne.
At that time, I made that choice because I was afraid of Leon who would run to me.
‘The choice was right. In the end, I will survive, and one day I will put Kantum back into my hands.’
But what he heard in his ears was the cruel voice of the first princess.
“Did you say promise? What promise are you talking about?”
“You… your years are good…”
2 The prince shook her body.
“Have you forgotten your promise to me? Instead of relinquishing the throne, I took a part of Cantum…”
“I remember that promise well. Until you stab a knife in Abamama’s back.”
“!”
“Before that, my brother still had soldiers and an army. There were many lords who followed.”
But not now.
I wonder if it was his soldiers who had captured the second prince.
At the very least, all the lords turned their backs upon the news that the emperor had been stabbed in the back.
His knights, blinded by wealth and titles, had long since fled.
“Now, my brother is saying that he is a dog hair with nothing.”
The second prince’s face was rarely wrinkled.
1 The princess said with her sharp eyes.
“If I had just been quiet… at the very least, I might have done that if I had only seen him fight proudly with the enemy as a member of the royal family.”
“Ha… But… no matter how much a woman, the imperial family can say two things with one mouth…”
“I will at least let you die with dignity as an imperial family. So, don’t show your shame as a prince any longer, as the heir who once fought for the throne. “
“····.”
shudder
There was blood in the eyes of the 2nd Prince.
“Then who is the emperor? Mommy is no longer here. Did you ever think that you would become emperor in four years?”
His eyes were full of madness.
He lived as if he couldn’t have cantum, he couldn’t have anyone else, and so on.
“You know it’s impossible, right? I don’t know if Abamama is still alive. He is now dead. You can never be emperor!”
It was so natural.
So far, only men have succeeded to the throne of Cantum.
There was no history of becoming a woman.
Nevertheless, there was only one thing that her 1st princess could aim for her throne.
“Only the emperor can change the law of the royal family. However, now that there is no Emperor, no one can change those rules!”
A change of law that the benevolent prince had reserved for her 1st daughter.
If it weren’t for that, the chance would not have come to her 1st princess.
She said the 2nd Prince smiled mischievously.
“Are you going to give it to Leonic? Or will you hand over her throne to that ugly 7th Prince As?”
When Leonic becomes emperor, the first princess dies immediately.
Even if 7th Prince Asu becomes emperor, her 1st princess must die.
Leonic is a cruel person. ‘Cause he’ll never be left behind.
Even Asus had no choice but to kill his 1st princess in order to maintain his imperial power.The second prince smiled meanly.
“ruler. So choose wisely. Even now, if you show courtesy to me as a servant… I will spare only four years of your life. With the mercy of the new emperor.”
That was the moment.
“Puhahahahaha.”
The 1st princess burst into laughter.
She was really absurd, and she had a smile that made her laugh.
“How are you going to move like this? I reflect on myself for having compassion for you, even for a moment.”
“What… what is it?”
“It’s just like Lynn said. He said he wouldn’t even feel guilty about stabbing your father.”
“····.”
The eyes of her 1st princess became sharp.
“But now, there is no one who can give you the throne, no one but me. “
Until she came here, the 1st Princess had her sincere intention to have her 2nd Prince die with honor.
But he couldn’t get the word out.
Even the act of stabbing her father, the emperor in the back with a sword, was unforgivable, and he crossed the line.
I couldn’t forgive him anymore.
“You will die here . . . very miserably.”
no one will find
Nothing would go into his mouth until he died.
1 The princess finished her declaration and turned her body as it was.
Then her second prince caught her in her hurry.
“Then the hell… who the hell holds the throne! Answer me! Answer me!”
The second prince’s voice echoed through the lonely cell.
When her 1st princess stopped walking for a moment, the 2nd prince shouted in haste.
“Is this guy Ion? You don’t intend to make Kaistein’s gnome the emperor! You, you guys, are you really sane?”
That was just unacceptable.
When Ion became emperor, the dynasty of Cantum changed.
It meant the disappearance of the Khan clan, which had ruled Kantum for a very long time.
“Ran! The four-year plan is clear. Aren’t you trying to make him an emperor and become a queen? Only then will he be able to maintain that frugal power for four years. You are just like me! It’s the same!”
Although she’s her own, she has betrayed her father and some people.
What that bitch was doing was literally selling the whole country to other countries.
“Tell me! I mean, tell me about your four years of filthy deeds.”
After all, the first princess could not become the emperor.
From https://noblemtl.com
More than she has no emperor. Because there is no one who can change the law.
So she had to take her chance here.
‘There will certainly be guards out there. And if you hear the story of that bitch, you will definitely move.’
Even if he could instigate others like that, he could dream of resurrection.
No matter how much Kantum regards Ian as a hero, they are not the people who will tolerate being usurpers who want to take over the country.
But she was the 1st princess, she whispered to him with a fishy smile, as if she had expected that.
“Do not worry. The next emperor of Cantum will be…”
At her whisper, the 2nd Prince opened her eyes.
“What nonsense… that is not. That’s not to say!!”
The 2nd Prince cried out urgently.
Her 1st princess went out as it was.
There was no one to find him in a secluded place where even her guards didn’t really exist.
No, it wouldn’t be forever.
Because that was his punishment.
*
A red carpet was spread toward the Imperial Palace.
Even in the huge imperial palace, there was only a red road to the throne.
On both sides of the red road, the imperial soldiers in ceremonial clothes were standing dignifiedly.
That was then.“The Emperor’s coronation ceremony will be held. Giant!”
“Gorgeous!”
The emperors raised their weapons.
A huge number of weapons were lifted overhead for just one man.
And walking between them is none other than that.
juggling
“Prince Leonic enters!”
It was Leonic.
However, even though it was the enthronement ceremony of the emperor he had dreamed of, his expression was not good.
It wasn’t just bad enough.
slurp
He was even weeping.
He had no choice but to do so.
“hey. Do you bleed your face? What’s this for a happy coronation ceremony?”
The guy next to him was the problem.
That’s Ian Kaistein.
It wasn’t long before I heard the news that he had collapsed, but it was the guy who got up and made fun of him.
But that wasn’t the only problem.
“Do you want to hurry up? Have you already forgotten what the servants and people said that the throne should not be left empty for a long time?”
shudder
Because Ian wasn’t his only enemy.
All those who had embraced him in the past had already turned their backs on him.
At the very least, even the people’s eyes on him were not pretty.
All because he remembered the moment he was watching, doing nothing.
Leonic remembered what Ian had said before coming here.
[Would you like to die cleanly at the gallows? Or will you rot in a cold prison for the rest of your life like the second prince? Or should I do it in five divisions?]
Without this, Leonic had no future.
So I had no choice but to do what Ian told me.
He wore the emperor’s crown from the eunuch on his head and spoke slowly.
“I, Leonic, . . . will issue the first order as emperor.”
His voice trembled badly.
But he said with his eyes tightly closed because of Ian and others watching from behind.
“As emperor, I change the law. In the future, any member of the royal family can become an emperor. It doesn’t matter if it’s a woman.”
At his words, the people, including the emperor, shouted.
wow!
The only imperial family who did not run away from the royal family.
It was the fact that the 1st princess could become emperor.
But his words are not over yet.
“At the same time, I, Leonic Khan, will step down from the throne and return to being a savage. The next emperor’s seat is… regent…
“Speak quickly. People are waiting.”
“I will leave it to the regent… Prince Ian.”
Leonic wiped away his tears and put down the emperor’s coffin he had just worn.
He was truly the emperor that will go down in history.
‘For only one minute . . . for one minute he can become emperor … ‘
But there was one thing left that Ian couldn’t think of or those lowly things.
‘There is only one law that can be changed by becoming an emperor. Even if a woman can be emperor, she cannot be emperor unless she is married.’
Unlike the other brothers, the 1st Princess was not married yet.
Because he did it on purpose.
It was because of his thorough personality that he was never vigilant even as a blood brother.
‘But you will not be able to marry my brother.’
Ian is the king of Bahara and the closest to the next king of Kaistein.
If such a guy said he would marry the 1st princess, he wasn’t the Kantum to let go, no matter how much he was called a hero.
It’s okay now for saving the lives of the people of Kantum.
It would be different if you tried to eat even the country.
‘The country called Cantum has always been like that.’
No matter how incompetent the emperors were, they were not the ones who tolerated foreign interference.
But, as Ian expected,was laughing
“You didn’t think that I didn’t know your stupid thoughts, didn’t you?”
“What the hell are you going to do? You don’t think you’re going to get married, are you?”
“Of course not. After all, you have a body with a fiancee?”
“then?”
shit
Ian smiled.
And he was looking at a man.
Ion walked slowly and held out the crown of the Emperor of Cantum before him.
“You are the next emperor.”
