138 The Real Has Appeared, Now (1)
The morning at Romero Palace was quiet.
– Kick!
– Kururu
It wasn’t quite as quiet as … but there was no one to respond, so it was quiet as a result.
Cedric drank coffee and handed over the papers indifferently.
He didn’t care what the two gods left in the Imperial Palace were doing.
Although it was annoying to hang around the whole time watching government affairs and stay in his bedroom at night, there was a saying that Shinsu’s work was not as good as the history of the Lord.
So he sat alone at the desk in his spacious office and stayed silent.

Occasionally David and his attendants brought refreshments.
-talent!
Perry came up to the desk with her black ears clasped.
The prince frowned slightly.
As he ignores Perry and reaches for the next document, Shinsoo moves swiftly, Kong! and put both paws on the pile of paper.
It was a clear business interruption.
“…you are annoying.”
Leah, who was encouraged by seeing Perry, climbed a cross-legged stand next to her colleague.
The most fearful of the three gods looked at him straight for some reason.
Cedric let out a small sigh. It seemed to mean giving out toys again.
– Exactly!
– Whoops!
He took off his gloves and flicked his fingers, and a long snake-like flame appeared.
The ‘Fire Snake’ moved loudly as if it were alive.
However, the gods showed no interest.
At the most, they provided new toys, but the response was poor.
This time around, the wrinkle appeared between the prince’s forehead.
The blazing snake instantly became a fire and disappeared.
“What is the dragon?”
– Kiy
he asked, putting on his gloves. Perry approached me with an attitude of ‘I’m sure it will make sense now’.
The prince could not know if he was projecting the human figure to the divine beast excessively, or if the divine being was too imitating humans.
Soon, Perry smoked an orange begonia from the tip of her nose.
“Do you want to have fun?”
– whim
Shin-su lay down crying sadly.
He curled himself up in the corner of the table, with his front paws covering his head.
Leah licked her lips, and a blue-grey cornflower bloomed on the tip of her nose. It was a familiar color.
– Kyeung!
Leah jumped in place and shuddered.
Then Perry, who had been depressed, jumped up.
The divine begonia that quickly withered begonias, this time bloomed purple tulips on her forehead.
Then,
– Kiyy
He ran towards Leah. The two soon became one and rolled around the desk.
Papers fluttered to and fro, and purple and water-colored petals blended right in front of my eyes.
Sedric looked down at the two divine beasts with a face as hard as a sculpture.
The orange begonia left alone, and the other two friendly. It was a blatant metaphor.
“Now me,”
-smart
Then someone knocked on the door. The prince tried to focus his senses on the holy stone near his heart.
It was unreasonable to fall for the provocations of the small gods.
Soon David came in and set up an example.
“majesty. This is an emergency message from Serenite.”
“·················ogue.”
The father’s eyes twinkled. The servant spoke slowly.
“It is said that last evening near the castle, the wagon procession of Marquis Jesse and the Duke of Sarnez was attacked by a group of about 40 thieves.”
Both knew that an opponent of that size would easily end up on Elizabeth’s line.
It was no news.
“All of them were arrested and imprisoned in Yeongjuseong Prison, and there were no casualties.”
“I didn’t know that the Marquis enjoyed irony.”
Cedric replied.
This is a typical Lister upper-class pun, meaning it’s funny that the prince gets caught up in an accident in Serenite, which means ‘peace’ and ‘anon’.
David replied with a soft smile.
“It is only when there is a disturbance in body and mind that one realizes the importance of comfort. You have given me a good name, Your Majesty.”
“·················ogue.”
“The carriage is always ready.”
The servant bowed politely and left.
The divine beasts, who descended on their knees, began to press on the hard stomach of the prince with a sign of choking on something.
Blood lines stood on the back of the man’s hand.
Everyone, including the blasphemous master, encouraged him to act first.
Cedric Lister was a noble royal family.
I’ve never felt the need to do that.

“How could this happen…”
All full-time employees of the Serenite Castle were employed by the imperial family.
From next month onwards, I’ll pay you, but it means that until recently I was the emperor’s servant.
It was not strange that the whole castle shook at the news of the ruthless attack, and the servants and servants stayed up all night.
Rather, our group seemed to slept the most.
I looked up while eating breakfast in the bedroom next door.
Chantal, the general manager of the vassal fortress, stood restless. It was dark under the eyes.
“It’s okay, Chantal. No one was hurt.”
“It is all because of our unfaithfulness that a precious person suffers such an incident as soon as he arrives at the estate.”
At my words, she poured herself out.
Chantal, in his late fifties, was a self-proclaimed author who served the imperial family since the generation of his great-great-great-grandmother.
Even when he first greeted me last night, he had a sharp and strict impression, but it has been that expression ever since I saw the robbers being dragged.
“Changtal, the Marquis does not really care. I am just concerned about whether anyone else has suffered the same.”
Benjamin comforted her. I smiled brightly.
“Tell others that I don’t have to worry. In fact, I was the one who brought them.”
Then, I took a bite of a fruit salad sprinkled with honey.
Conte cheese is mixed between sweet and sour strawberries and blueberries to create a rich and fresh taste.
Chantal was startled, but when he saw that I had cleared four plates of buckwheat crepe, he seemed relieved.
I’m glad there are times when eating well helps.
-smart
“Come on in.”
I swallowed the food and responded.
What appeared beyond the door was Sir Elizabeth and Canael.
“Good night, Marquis.”
“Good morning, commander of the neighborhood guard. Have you made any progress?”
When I asked a question while wiping her lips with a napkin, she gave a reliable answer.
“Yes. There are only a handful of knights and the Imperial Army that are escorting the lord’s castle.
I nodded.
Although he was awarded a marquis title, he was in a position where he ambiguously switched between an honorary and a working position.
As I am the imperial priest’s partner and the hostage of the enemy country, it was the result of a fierce compromise by Emperor Frederic.
Unlike the other nobles, I could not be knighted or have enlisted men.
However, as a marquis, he received taxes from the land, and his authority was clear, so he was able to perform basic government actions.
Anyway. It doesn’t matter to us, but it was difficult for people inside and outside the lord’s castle to be in the same danger.
It would be good if more soldiers came.
“Also, last night, the guards interrogated the robbers, and all robbers are first-time offenders.”
“yes?”
This was surprising. Ganael’s golden eyes widened as well.
“It is said that it is true that the usual conduct is of low quality. According to the guards who visited the surrounding villages, it was not uncommon for them to make a fuss in the store and fail to repay the credit. But he said he had never been wielding a weapon or robbed.”
“So, it means that they met us as soon as we planned to have a big bang as a group.”
“That’s right.”
When I burst out laughing, Lord Elizabeth raised an eyebrow.
At this point, it was not us who were really unlucky, but you.

Of course, if you did something bad, you should be punished.
“and······. Their chief revealed that he was the first of the Ash family.”
“Yes?”
This was shocking news. I bit my tongue, wondering if I heard wrong.
Canael and Chantal were startled, and Benjamin groaned.
The speaking Elizabeth had an embarrassed face.
“I introduced myself as Joan de Ars to be precise. My younger brother, Emil, will pay the bail money, so I have a lot of momentum.”
‘I know? uh? You know who my brother is!’
I remembered a voice that was screaming loudly.
I’ve heard that Sang-Joo Asu spends a lot of time in the area, and he knew that his older sister was a famous asshole, but I didn’t expect it to be this much.
I quickly cleared my mind. First thing is important.
“What does the Duke of Sarnez say?”
“I sent an errand to the top of Asth at sunrise. Since I expressed strong regret, the meeting with Sang-ju Sang may be canceled.”
Sir Elizabeth answered. It was natural.
It may not have happened that there was a sisterhood relationship with Shi, but from the duke’s point of view, it was enough to feel insulted because an accident occurred while escorting the prince.
I looked at Demi and Dungshim, who were lying next to me, and asked.
“Did you tell me the motive for the crime?”
“That is the problem. The subordinates state that Asus ordered it, and she repeats only that she will go out on bail.”
I swallowed the bursting sigh along with the tea. From the first day I came to the estate, I had a headache.
However, even though he had already become a ‘lord’, he could not pretend to be ignorant by imprisoning criminals.
I lifted my gaze and met Sir Elizabeth’s gray eyes.
“I will meet you.”
*
Chantal rushed to leave the room, saying that he would fix the chaotic atmosphere of the lord’s castle.
Sir Elizabeth, accompanied by the Guard, led the way.
I followed Benjamin and Canael with Demi in my arms.
The courageous sits on the top of my head.
It was funny to see the prison from the first day in the estate, and I burst into laughter.
how did this happen Is it because you are moving with the main character?
“Did Sir Sarnez wake up?”
“Yes, they say they are having breakfast.”
Benjamin immediately informed me. The duke’s family was staying in the guest room of the lord’s castle.
I shrugged and observed the unfamiliar hallway.
Inside the fortress wall made of white stone, there were many colorful tapestries that made your mouth open.
It was not a simple pattern, but a fabric that expressed characters and backgrounds, most of which dealt with the achievements of Emperor Celine who ended the war era.
Thick wood supported the ceiling in a nice arch.
Tables and silver trays placed everywhere were gleaming.
I laughed bitterly at how hard the people of Yeongjuseong had to work to welcome me.
I hope things turn out well.
“This is it.”
Sir Elizabeth beckoned. Even though it was the first time, it seemed amazing that he had already memorized the structure.
It was amazing that he had passed three spires so far. Obviously there was only one way.
– Again, again
-Tump, tuck…
The carpet ended as we passed the stairs leading down.
There was a loud sound of footsteps, and there was no light but a torch.
By the time the guards opened the huge iron door, I really felt like I was in a prison.
It smelled of musty mold and water.
Bravery came down from his head and dug into his jacket pocket.
I walked around rubbing him with my fingertips.
– Kaang!
flinch.
“weather. Joan de As. The Marquis Serenite wants to visit you.”
“Ah, I’m going to die of ringing…”
Sir Elizabeth, who was kicking a certain iron fence, said coldly.
Joan’s grunt echoed through the hallway.
I stood up and appeared in front of her.
A light brown-skinned woman with a luxurious cloth wrapped around her head was startled when she saw me.
I was still drunk.
“what. Your eyes are really purple.”
“Have an example. You probably don’t know this person, do you?”
“hello.”
I said hello first.
Joan, who had been spread out on the floor, opened his eyes as if he had seen something strange and slowly fell down.
But he didn’t stop whining.
“Aren’t you going to get stabbed in the head by someone from the same empire, or become a sinner of the prince of an enemy country?”
“Why?”
I asked right away.
It wasn’t a friendly greeting, and Joan didn’t seem to want that either.
Then she shook her head.
“Why do I have to answer? If you’re angry, don’t ask, just kill him. I wonder if that’s what you’re doing.”
“I have committed a great sin, but I don’t think it is a mortal sin. I think it can be edified enough.”
“Kyohwa freezes to death. .”
She spit on the stone floor. I tilted my head with a puzzled expression.
“Shall we issue the trust?”
“······What?”
“You did it yesterday. You can also open the circle and force yourself to confess. I’m asking you out of respect for your free will now.”
In my words, Joan wrote Omansang. It was ridiculous that he opened his chin wide and then took a breath.
I just waited.
Since I had conveyed the truth to her accurately, there was no need to convince her any further.
We met as lords and sinners, not to be friends.
“It seems like five minutes have passed. We will open the sanctuary.”
“Okay, say it! damn!”
she cried out Canael frowned.
Joan scratched the back of the head and wiped his cheeks, then brought out a shocking statement.
“My younger brother said that he will marry a noble woman who is coming from the emperor this time. I bought it to overturn it. done?”
