Curtain Call (9)
Frederic Lister has seen similar scenes in histories.
“It’s fun.”
“yes.”
Aurelie Boutier responded softly to her self-talk.
No detailed explanation was necessary while the souls were connected.
In front of the two of them stood a beautiful priest wearing a ‘Ulitter’s headdress’.
Two or three paladins were by his side.
There was another difference from the woman who had caused catastrophe a long time ago.
None of them raised their weapons to attack the Empire and the Imperial Family.
Rather, the party consisted of those without armed force, the commander of the guard, and the great nobleman who was his older brother and collateral to the imperial family.
And even his precious son.
“They will follow us in the future.”
“Are you disappointed again?”
Aurelie joked. The emperor sighed and walked to the stage.
Every time the two women took their feet, a purple tulip rose from the ground and shook the leaves.
It was winter with a clear breath, and the history of a god like this was something that happened only once in hundreds of years.
At the time of ‘Invasion of Ulitter Statia’, of course, such a miracle did not happen.
There was no pirate ship hanging next to the round moon.
Because it was just a terrible tragedy.
– touk
“I see the sun who has descended upon the earth, and my majestic Cardinal.”
As they entered the stage, Prince Jesse bowed politely.
The phoenix in her arms rolled her eyes and looked at the two.
What a familiar look. The emperor snorted.
“I was lucky. Barely escaped lateness.”
“It’s crazy.”
“Frederic has a quick temper.”
The cardinal stroked the crown prince’s cheek once, and added affectionately.
I could feel my companion staring, but she was only telling the truth.
It was none other than Frederic who said that he would personally go out to a job where only the Imperial Guard or the Imperial Guard could be sent.
It was also clear why Aurelie had accompanied her in a fur coat at a cold and midnight hour.
She didn’t hesitate.
– Whoa!
The sanctuary of the Cardinal, dazzlingly dazzling and huge, unfolded.
“Oh, my God!”
“Ahhh······!”
Dozens of spectators were stunned by the unexpected explosion of divine power.
For the most ordinary people, the hand of the Lord God and the power of the cardinal were no different.
‘Tsar…!’ Golden etheric stalks danced in various places like springs of water.
The soul of his companion, Frederick, resonated strongly.
Aurelie smiled at her, then looked back at her student. A gleam of gold lingered in her clear, clean purple eyes.
A firm yet gentle voice resounded.
[I will ask.]
“I will answer anything sincerely, my lord.”
said the lovely child. The cardinal gently curved his beige eyes.
[Is it true that you are leading a civil war with the Marquis Duheme and Baron Verand?]
There was not even a speck of doubt in his gaze when he said that.
Again, this felt like a very funny joke.
It felt like I was playing with my dear student.
Even the silence as if the world had stopped was light.
Soon, the corners of the prince’s eyes were folded. It meant the same mind.
Aurelie has tested her disciple several times.
At first she asked about the power of the prince.
I wanted to know if the child stole a god from the ‘Temple of Boundary’.
After that, he came to believe in Jesse’s goodness, but it took some time before he could trust the young man who was the royal family and hostage of the enemy country.
Even after being considered a member of the royal family, I had to ask again if the child had told a lie.
It was around the time when Holy Stones and Sunflowers were discovered in the imperial land.
‘I’m sorry, Prince. I had to confirm once.’
‘it’s okay. I understand.’
It was really sad back then. I was worried that it would hurt my kind heart.
But now, it was different.
“no. Neither me nor any of my friends planned that.”
Because this is not a confession that distinguishes true from false.
“We really love the Lister Empire. People here also like it. I am happy here.”
[I see.]
It’s not like I’m thinking about her disciple just in case.
[Lord, forgive the deception of interest.]
It’s just a reaffirmation of what we know.
“·················ogue.”
[··········.]
Then the middle-aged man smiled brightly. The prince looked at her and smiled broadly.
Sanctuary did not show any etheric reactions.
Some silence was so delightful and grateful. It was what everyone expected.
“Come here.”
she stretched out her arms
Without hesitation, Jesse Penetian was deeply embraced by his teacher.
Then, as if waiting
“Wow!”
“Wow!”
Clerk Square shouted to leave.
Even the people who were out in pajamas stomped their feet and cheered.
Everyone jumped up, untied their scarves, waved and whistled. Hundreds of fur hats and sleep bonnets soared into the sky.
The crowd, which had been in the thousands when the soybean farming started, has now reached the number of days.
It was a grand festival with a sore ear that no one could sleep.
“Long live Lister! hurray! hurray!”
“Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Crown Prince!”
“Long live, Cardinal!”
“Long live Prince Jesse!”
Kristel hugged the prince and cardinal tightly.
Isabelle and Ellen hugged Kristel like that, and the three Duhem brothers and sisters joined the hug.
When Aurelie beckoned to John, he, too, banded together as if he had no choice.
The emperor, who was watching the scene with his tongue clenched, patted Cedric’s shoulder and back.
When I saw the eyes of my son who had sunk peacefully, a smirk flowed. His expression was different from before he left the Imperial Palace.
“Good work.”
“Yes.”
“You have to get used to this kind of mess. Life in the palace will not be easy in the future.”
Mohwang grunted. He drew a curve that seemed to show the prince’s lips.
He stood silently by his mother’s side, looking at the man who was shining brighter than the moon.
When his eyes finally got entangled with him…
“uh? It’s snow! It’s snowing, Prince!”
Kristel distracted her eyes with a clear voice.
The crowd was like ‘Ah!’ and evoked a romantic euphoria.
Cedric frowned and raised his head.
Snowflakes shining white like star dust were falling from the black night sky.
Then, a small snowflake fell on the man’s nose.
He heard the prince laugh as he looked at him.
It was cold and damp, but somehow it didn’t feel bad. It was the first snow.
– Kiying!
– Whoa!
Then, from the pirate ship, the divine beasts jumped off their short limbs fluttering!
“Twitter.”
– Wheein!
-talent
– Whoops!
-right
Chuck, chuck, chuck, chuck! The prince moved swiftly and took the four troublemakers neatly.
The divine beasts quickly wrapped their tails around him and began to entangle him with aegyo.
The mother applauded as if teased, but the prince pretended not to hear.
All the people who looked around, avoiding their gaze, had happy faces.
There were a lot of people clapping hands or grabbing their chests when they saw the gods. There was no one to frown on.
Because only one of them was wearing a mask.
“No no······.”
Simon de Sarnaise, who watched everything, shook his head frantically.
There was no feeling of cold even in the strange cold wave.
His hands and feet were trembling and sweat was pouring down from the top of his head. It felt like it was going to melt because it was so hot.
It was despair, not fear, that swallowed him with its mouth open like a crocodile.
It was the feeling of loss that all plans had gone awry and the impatience caused by it.
The conspiracy is out of his grasp. There were a number of cases where it shouldn’t have happened.
Where did you deviate from?
“No, no. This is not it.”
He tried to stay calm. What has already been twisted is unavoidable, so the future is important.
His face twitched non-stop under the wet mask.
Half of them were burnt, but the other half had an elegant face, and now they were all ugly.
The plans he had in mind in case he failed flashed through his mind one by one.
However, none of them were applicable to the current situation.
He said that the prince and his party would fly on a pirate ship and reach the zodiac, so that they would meet the emperor and the cardinal in Claire Square. Who could have predicted the great joint?
What is the phenomenon that progresses through the tiles, tulips bloom and snow falls in time?
The unexpected confluence of the prince?
Isabelle and Kristel?
“Wow!”
“ね.”
The crowd roared once again. The peacock turned around, holding the mask tightly.
The lacerated right half of his body was swept by the crowd and his collar and screamed, but he clenched his teeth and endured the pain.
He was never able to raise his beloved wife and daughter. Seeing them smile, we couldn’t laugh together.
There was nothing more painful and painful than that.
“I will pass. Ouch!”
“Don’t push, Mister!”
“Hey, let’s go see it! It’s a precious sight!”
As he moved in the opposite direction, the onlookers erupted in dissatisfaction.
Simon didn’t care. The thought of cutting off his tail quickly filled his brain.
It was not difficult to manipulate the Duke’s own memory.
All he had to do was send an errand to make an appointment with Archbishop Eugenie Kessie, and fool himself with her oracle.
That way, even if you are interrogated by the cardinal, you will not easily confess your sins. maybe······.
The old body will run out of energy first. He could have died with honor.
“And, and.”
They needed someone to cover their sins.
Kristel and Isabelle left after hearing too much information, but there were also many holes.
Even if it is difficult to be completely innocent, if there is someone who can put it ahead.
“······································“
Suddenly, it felt like a light was turned on in the darkness.
Simon remembered his butler, who served four dukes throughout his life.
The old man was a person who received enormous favor from the Sarnez family.
In particular, he was deeply loyal to his great-grandmother, and since then he has zealously supported the three heads of state.
He also participated more actively in this plot than anyone else. If so, it may be possible
Even if I don’t do anything else, I will give my life for the sake of my family.
“Long live Your Majesty! hurray! hurray!”
“Long live His Majesty the King! hurray! hurray!”
“Ugh.”
The duke staggered at the fiercely pouring hurrah.
He bowed his head reluctantly and walked through the crowd.
The clean air was getting closer thanks to the diligent movement.
He hurriedly raised his head as if he had been diving while holding his breath. And I was startled.
“·················ogue.”
Cecil Blanquer.
If he wasn’t mistaken, the duke, dressed in all black, was staring straight at him.
Next to the woman was the duke and the duke, who were covered in black.
An expressionless expression that resembles a creepy one. It was the family of the deceased Robert Blanquer.
Simon immediately stepped back. Then he stooped more and, squeezing the mask, dug through the crowd.
It would be an illusion. Couldn’t she have been looking at herself?
It was as if he had come to catch the murderer of his son.
“Let’s go! Get out of here!”
His voice cracked.
“Where are you going, you will regret it!”
“Leave it alone! You must be in a hurry to pee!”
“Uh-huh! Just look at it while it is cheap and dry!”
Disgraceful words poured over the peacock’s head. He shut his mouth and determined the direction.
It was promised to meet Nobok at the Clock Tower.
If he hinted luck in the carriage going back to Yeongjuseong, the quick-witted old man would surely understand his intentions.
In keeping with the burial mound order…
-Ttogak
At that time, the smooth boots broke into the Duke’s sight. I was appalled.
He lifted his neck very slowly. All the noises of the square passed over the back of my ear.
The sensation of cold sweat running down his back was very unpleasant.
“·················ogue.”
The gray eyes they met shone sharply like a sword.
The Guard, including Elizabeth Mutte, surrounded the duke who had escaped the congregation.
A solemn voice followed.
“Simon de Sarnez, Duke. On behalf of His Majesty’s exalted authority and everlasting honor, the Imperial Guard will urgently arrest you. Please take off your mask.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, commander of the neighborhood guard. I have not sinned.”
Simon answered with an innocent voice and followed his gaze.
A few steps away, I saw an old man chained up. The peacock’s mouth slowly opened.
He was the right arm that Simon had remembered a while ago, his vassal.
In his wrinkled hands were the papers and business cards he had handed over to his father.
‘Victoire d’Andrége.’
The cursed old man looked at him and smiled kindly.
The dagger of shock blasted the man’s back one beat late.
“Your servant, Gerard Sorio, has requested a commutation and surrendered his sentence on condition that he reveals the treason of the duke.”
Ahh······.
The peacock slowly closed his eyes. The hallucinations of my great-grandmother, which seemed like revelation, were no longer heard.
