Faith, Hope, Age of Discovery?! (One)
December 21 morning.
“The country is a b*tch.”
That was Frederic Lister’s evaluation of the current situation.
Aurelie stroked her arm with a puzzled look on her face.
There were only a few people in the audience room of the Imperial Palace.
Prince and Elizabeth. Duke Simon de Sarnez and Archbishop Eugenie Kessier.

One of the guards who became a super corpse.
“You decided not to say that in public.”
“Then tell me. My government management skills are a b*tch.”
“Frederik.”
The cardinal groaned as if to appease him.
The only soul connected to her had been running rampant with irritation and self-blame for the past few days.
Aureli released the ether as wide as a river, enveloping the emperor’s soul.
It is no exaggeration to say that religious companionship exists for this very moment.
Although she is half-digesting the role of political companion after Alexandre’s death, her main job was this.
Stabilizing the opponent’s vessel and serving as a spiritual support.
‘under······.’ The emperor, feeling the ether of his companion, closed his eyes and opened them with a long breath.
Even if you were not a paladin, you could fully feel the influence of the holy power.
The fluttering cherry-colored eyes slowly subsided. Soon, the solemn lips opened.
“We sent close to forty guards, and two of them returned alive. One died without being able to get over the moon, and the last one is now in front of Jim. However, the author testifies that Johann Haines annihilated the Imperial Guard and that Jesse Penetian was behind it.”
“·················ogue.”
A heavy silence lingered.
The soldier with bandages all over his body was kneeling in the lowest place, trembling like an aspen.
“Elizabeth. Am I correct?”
“…Yes, Your Majesty.”
The commander of the neighborhood commander answered solemnly. The gray eyes tried to stay calm.
“Is it true that Archbishop Kathy endorses the author’s statement?”
“Yes. As soon as I got the testimonies of the crew, I dispatched an imperial chariot to the central temple to bring the bishop to watch. It’s around 2:30 in the morning today. Archbishop Eunha, who was at the temple, recognized the urgency of the situation and volunteered. Eunha opened a circle in the presence of me and two other crew members, and the returnees were confessed.”
“The etheric reaction?”
Elizabeth swallowed dry saliva, unable to respond quickly.
The emperor’s voice fell.
“No.”
“·················ogue.”
The young prosecutor affirmed with polite silence. It means that the words of the two soldiers were ‘truth’.
Prince Sedric, who was quietly guarding Mohwang, opened his mouth.
“Archbishop Kassey.”
“Yes, my lord.”
“The author must have said something about the Captain of the Guard.”
Then the Archbishop politely replied.
“you’re right. There was a statement that the captain of the guard protected the prince and his party and led them to the Marquis of Duhem.”
“What is his purpose?”
“It seemed like he didn’t know anything up to that point. I’m just a soldier…”
The old man had an embarrassed look. What followed was very cautious.
“However, in a marquis writer who is a colleague of the noble family, it is an impure intention to cover a person suspected of rebellion.”
“Galaxy.”
Duke Sarnez politely cut off the conversation.
The left face, not covered by the mask, was as serious as ever. It was the attitude of the emperor.
“Please refrain from making baseless comments. It could be serious.”
“We apologize for causing concern to noble people. As I get older, my judgment is not what it used to be.”
Cassie immediately flinched. The emperor quietly observed the two of them.
He did not know what the archbishop meant.
A great aristocrat with legitimacy to challenge the throne was willing to protect the prince who was raising soldiers of the enemy country with blood.
What it implied was disgustingly obvious.
It was a hypothesis that even the commoners of the shops and the clowns of the streets could not ignore.
treason.
“Simon.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“You said that you sent a garrison of the zodiac to the south. How is the search going?”
“It is said that there was no income until the land route leading to the central region. However, from the portal to the Marquis… The garrison knight returned wounded after fighting the marquise’s knight.”
said the duke softly.
A knight from a single family dared to resist the emperor’s public power with force.
The monarch’s red eyes were as dark as dead blood.
“Everyone go away. I will discuss my companion and son.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
In obedience to Huang’s command, everyone bowed down and withdrew.

Only close friends like Natalie and David remained far away.
In such a state, some silence passed. The father let out a sigh.
– Whoops!
At the same time, flames rose from the braziers on either side of the carpet.
David looked up at his master in awe.
However, the two adults remained silent as if they expected it, as if they could accept such a complaint.
-······Ttogak, Ttogak!
– Tub, tuk, tuk!
Then came the sound of urgent footsteps from behind the audience.
Through the secret door opened by the valet, Laura, secret guests were appearing one after another.
Elisabeth, who had just left, as well as the Duke Eva Blanquere…
“Rebel, from a little boy to an elk. I see that the Imperial Palace is also open.”
The emperor, who confirmed Sant, Herit, and Bamtoli, said as if it was absurd.
Aurelie smiled and looked back at her.
“If you keep doing that, I’m going to ask the prince to raise a puppy too.”
“Aurelie.”
Frederick was dazzled. Sedric also frowned at those who followed.
“What are priests and children for?”
“Priest Sant went to Claire Square with Herrit yesterday, and they said they did a great job.”
“Show me, Priest. Hurry up!”
Elizabeth and Eva said with their eyes shining.
Although the little Duke’s eyes were swollen and there were many friends who were not here, the atmosphere in the audience was different from what it was 10 minutes ago.
Sant looked down at Herit, bowing respectfully to the imperial family.
The child blinked his mint-colored eyes and opened the leather bag on the chestnut’s back.
An elk, which had grown quite a bit, rolled over.
– crumble, crumble
“Is Taesa’s green stick not enough?”
The cardinal was worried. It was because the kid took out a bunch of what looked like a flyer.
Frederic snorts, and Sant handed Laura a piece of paper.
Laura immediately put it on the emperor. The prince’s orange eyes moved accordingly.
“················································································ Transformed into a leaflet.
The emperor, who scanned the contents, summarized.
“yes. There are also rumors of ‘The Sky in the Sky’.”
Aurelie added.
The propaganda made up of a few facts about the prince and many lies was surprisingly provocative.
Even a little careful reading reveals the lack of logic and evidence.
However, if it was found in Claire Square rather than in the luxury mansion district, it was not the upper classes who wanted to cause chaos.
There is no reason to be meticulous and precise in the first place.
“You are trying to defile the public opinion about the prince.”
If the foundation is broken, the upper part is also easy to shake. It was the basis of the plot.
“Yeah, I really hated it this time. if not······.”
Saying so, the emperor turned to his son.
He believed in his mate and wanted to believe, but the situation dragging him in the opposite direction was annoying and he looked like he was going to die.
“Don’t worry, Herit has collected most of them!”
“What?”
The hat opened its mouth at the same time.
Sant explained, stroking the child’s back with a proud face.
“I think it was time for Herit to have his hair cut, so I took him to the barber shop in the square. Up until now, Sir John has always looked after me…”
To summarize the long chattering story, it was as follows.
Sant, who wanted to show Herrit the skills of a professional, took the child’s hand and went to Yongwon, where the beautiful Tong Yuri was beautiful.
He even waited until a window seat was available so that he could watch the crowds in the square.
After waiting for 30 minutes, I started getting groomed at the famous hall, but Herit suddenly moaned while pointing at the passersby outside the window.
‘Why, Herit? Did the authors even pickpocket?’
dory dory. It was a very serious look.
Sant took out the writing instrument he always carried with him and handed it to the child.
The answer that came back over and over again was shocking.
‘These people gossip about the prince. I want to go and scold you.’
“Because reading mouths is Herit’s specialty. So I cut my hair in half and hurriedly came out, and the child ran and knocked the leaflet in their hand! Steal…”
He handed out a large gold coin! All eyes in the square turned to the little boy.
When I handed over the piece of paper with the prince’s name on it, I got gold.
The word bounty spread quickly.
When one was removed from the wall and one was picked up from the floor, there were as many as two gold coins.
The ripple effect of emerging alchemy was enormous!
“then······. Did you give your heart away with money?”
“You can see that, Your Majesty. Everything that was sown in the square was collected. Roughly 200 pieces, but it took less than an hour!”
“Hung-Hung.”
Sant said excitedly, and Herrit laughed shyly. The emperor smirked.
“Where did so much gold come from? Taesa is not a person who can teach you economic ideas.”
“·················ogue.”
Then the child twisted and looked at Sedric.
Her white cheeks were tinged with gratitude.
Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders as it was funny and absurd.
It is said that the children of other households save their pocket money to buy sweets and ribbons, but Sir Haynes’s child bought public opinion with pocket money…
“David.”
The prince, who was staring at the little boy, called his servant.
David nodded and wrote in his notebook. ‘Three times increase in Herit’s pocket money.’
“I will meet with Duke Cecil Blanquere in the near future.”
Suddenly, the emperor turned his horse’s head. Count Sow wrapped Eva’s shoulder as if protecting it.
Herrit and Sant also held her hand. The two royal families faced each other.
“Didn’t you say that? The same ink was found in the bearer letter and in the letter from Confucius Blanquere to the duke.”
“Yes.”
“There is also a passage at the end of the letter alluding to the fall of the prince, and considering the sudden death of Confucius…”
“Someone ordered it. It seems that Confucius, who had a bad feeling for the prince, was used as a means of communication and then dealt with it.”
The same was the case with Confucius Andrégé, who was the perpetrator of the founding ceremonial terrorist attack.
The emperor nodded in response to the prince’s answer.
“There is no way the Duke would quietly pass his son’s death like that. He will definitely come to me.”
“Yes.”
“What will you do?”
Two eyes of completely different colors, resembling fireworks, intertwined long in the air.
The emperor’s voice was terribly low.
“It’s time for the imperial family to move.”
Sedric had hallucinations in which the aura exploded from his mother.
It was pure Sword Master’s anger without a single speck. It was a proper reaction.
Through reports from the Duke and Archbishop a while ago, they succeeded in peeking into the overall picture.
Now there were two cases.
If it was the royal lineage, both sides had to be dissected individually.
A clear possibility as if it could be grasped by hand, and anxiety as thin as a thread.
Sarnez and Duhem.
“One of the two will have to be checked with your sword.”
The emperor whispered the discipline of the beast. They were radically different from Aurelie Boutier.
I had to be able to doubt even if I didn’t want to hurt.
That was the throne’s destiny.
*
Everyone had gathered in the living room of Lord Duem’s castle.
I said cautiously as I slept Demi and Tite in the twins’ cradle.
“It is reckless to push to the ecliptic. If you do, it will look like you are facing your majesty’s army. That is the point the peacock is aiming for.”
“I think so too, Prince. Also, taking half of the Knights Templar is risky. It’s a time when you’re in trouble, so you have to consider the security of the territory.”
Sir Herve Duhem took the word. Friends shouted all over the place.
We were having a heated discussion about how to get to the Imperial Palace safely and how to get rid of the frame.
After the news that the emperor could not even send a scorpion, he had been eating and chatting here.
Marquis François Duhem, waking up around noon, looked a little tired, but this time he raised his hand and spoke again.
“It’s a golgool, isn’t that too much of a joke? Call me the sickly young man.”
“Are you a young man forty the day after tomorrow?”
Sixteen Canael sent a man to the goal with an innocent expression.
As the Marquis became silent, the fourth, Maria, raised her arms and shouted.
“How about this? No one will ever catch you! Escape to the Principality of Corleone!”
“·················ogue.”
“From there, take the portal and smuggle in again! Awesome!”
The hall became enveloped as if Kristel had poured glacial water on it.
Even Sir John looked troubled. Only me and Maria were smiling.
no, what… I don’t know where the Principality is. Still, maybe it’s worth a listen?
prince cedric giving him allowance is way too cute
