006 “Guys, what’s going on….”
Ugh.
For a moment, I felt my breath tighten. I quickly grabbed my neck.
there’s nothing. obviously there’s nothing
“Uh-huh…”
I couldn’t breathe. There was no sound, let alone breathing.
I slowly collapsed as I watched the children standing in front of me.
The facial expressions of the Verang twins in the moonlight were unfamiliar.
The faces that always smiled when they saw me were as cold as ice cubes. What the hell is this?
“Sinky, prepare the sacrament.”
“Focus on yourself, Peter. You resist.”
“Uhhh.”
‘Sinky’ or ‘Peter’? That wasn’t their name.
At least it was completely different from the name I knew.
I struggled not to lose consciousness while my throat was making a noise and my face was burning red.
“Don’t rely on magic. Bring out some more divine power.”
“okay.”
“Turn it off!”
‘Sinky’ gave ‘Peter’ advice. Then my breathing became narrower.
These kids are killing me. That was certain.
I don’t know what they did, but the two boots were killing me right now, without touching me.
“Geek, bubbly, black!”
“You’re pretty tough.”
“Your Majesty, please accept it. This is the will of the Lord and the choice of His Majesty the King.”
Horrible words came out of the mouths of those who had not even gone through their metamorphosis.
I could feel the tendons growing on my forehead. I clenched my teeth and shook my head.
What to accept, what to accept.
“Kuh-huh, shut up.”
“Almost done.”
It was terrifying. My eyes were blurry due to lack of oxygen.
I had no choice but to realize that this world is ‘present’ and ‘real’.
It was impossible for the shadow of such a slow death to be fiction.
scary. Eunseo, his older brother, and his mother’s faces passed in front of them.
“Turn it off…”
“Good good.”
Renault Verand, no, ‘Peter’ made a terrible sound with an innocent face.
I stared at the boy, desperately recalling what I had read in ＜Theory and Practice of the Operation of New Power> a moment ago.
My mind was clouded and I couldn’t remember for sure. There was no guarantee that it would be successful.
but. still.
“I’ll start doing it.”
“yes.”
It was a hundred times and a thousand times better to grab even a straw than to die like this.
I pushed my mind as hard as I could. had to stay home
A small golden circle appeared at Sinki’s feet, and I started praying at the same time.
‘I pray to the proud Lord of the great continent.’
I don’t know if you will accept my prayers, but please. save me some
“Wait, Peter. now······.”
“you can do it. hurry.”
“Idiot, that’s not it!”
Help me.
– Jjjjjjjjjjjjjak!
– Clap!
[Turn it off, you bastards!]
“Aww!”
A golden circle exploded out of my body.
With the power of the ‘oracle’, the bodies of the two boys were bounced off like bullets. I finally caught my breath.
The walls cracked and the windows in the bedroom shattered.
The chandelier vibrated precariously and the ground rumbled.
The pages of the books scattered all over the place swung to and fro like reeds.
In the darkness, only the golden circles beneath my feet were scattering a great brilliance.
[Clok-kolok, don’t come closer!]
My beep echoed through the oracle.
Then, the feet of the two boys, who were standing up, stuck to the floor as if they had applied instant adhesive.
“Uh, how could this…”
“Heh heh heh heh heh… Whoops…”
I quickly inhaled and exhaled repeatedly. The drooling did not stop easily.
My eyes were burning with physiological tears from suffocation.
“Nonsense······. You can’t have this kind of power!”
“Did you really steal something?”
[Shut up?]
The two guys screamed.
When I was annoyed, the oracle was applied once more, and the boys shut their mouths straight.
I took a deep breath and looked under the bed.
It was as read in the book. The form of a garden shining brilliantly in gold.
The minimum unit of the etheric circle that protects the priest from all powers, the ‘Holy Sanctuary’.
What appeared when I swore to Benjamin.
As long as the circle is open, every word I utter can be activated as an ‘oracle’.
The oracle’s coercive power varies greatly depending on the power of the priest who opened the circle.
And if the opponent with stronger credibility rejects it, the oracle doesn’t work.
In other words, the power of those guys, who are being beaten by my oracles, was far below me.
[Don’t bite your tongue. Don’t even think about committing suicide.]
“Ugh…”
Whatever their identity, whatever their purpose was to kill me, I had to save them first.
The same danger could come at any time if the situation was not understood and countermeasures were taken.
You used to call me ‘Prince Highness’, and you said that taking my life was ‘Your Majesty’s choice’.
Hopefully in a new country…
-bang!
“Prince Jesse!”
“The Imperial Guard! Drop your weapon!”
The door, which had been tattered due to the opening of the circle, eventually fell apart in a loud noise.
The knights with swords, led by Sir Elizabeth, rushed in.
The inside of the room, which was still a mess, turned into a dotegi market in an instant.
A few elite-looking guards blocked me as if protecting me.
Benjamin, who followed them, quickly supported my staggering body.
At first glance, his face was pale.
“Get down! right now!”
“Wow! town!”
The other members of the Guard captured the two criminals.
The boys, with their lips glued together, struggled with their impressions.
Steve Berang, no, one of the guards who forcibly pulled ‘Sinky’ had a bewildered face.
The boy’s feet were stuck to the floor and he couldn’t move.
“Prince, you must take the oracle. It would be difficult to escort like this.”
Sir Elizabeth, who saw the situation, looked at me and spoke quickly.
But it was difficult for me to open my mouth.
I don’t know if the tension has been relieved or the aftereffects of fear are coming, but I can’t give my body strength.
My legs were loose, and I was experiencing extreme vertigo.
“Prince!”
The feeling of my body collapsing was unfamiliar.
It was as if the soul and body had been separated, and it felt as if only the body was thrust down to the floor while the view was above.
“Call Taei, come on!”
“shit. There you, the Cardinal, bring your Majesty!”
The lines I heard before I passed out, I think, were roughly the same.

“Have you ever wanted to live a quiet life?”
The voice of an unknown man reached his ears. Mind-blowing low-pitched sound.
It was like a voice actor acting.
I wanted to raise my eyelids to see who the man was.
But unlike the awake head, the body hasn’t listened yet.
“The etheric flow has stabilized.”
“You mean you’re going to open your eyes soon?”
The voice that asked the question was that of Sir Elizabeth. The man did not answer.
Instead, there was the sound of a small chair being dragged.
“Sadie, are you coming back?”
she asked But all he could hear was the sound of a man’s footsteps moving away.
Then I realized that this could be a dream.
It wasn’t stuffy or suffocating, but it was because I felt like I was being pressed by scissors because I couldn’t move my body and only my mind was awake.
Thinking like that, I fell asleep again. I did not resist.

“Are you out of your mind?”
When I opened my eyes, an unfamiliar ceiling…
this was not The wallpaper I had been watching and lying down for a week filled my view.
You’re still ‘Jesse Penetian’. Not Jung Jesse.
I regret not waking up in my house where Eunseo and hyung were living, and slowly turned my head in the direction of the sound.
“hi.”
A middle-aged woman was smiling warmly at me.
Her hair was tied up and hung over one shoulder in purple.
Beige-colored, friendly eyes carefully scanned my condition.
It was the first time I actually saw the monocle, so I was amazed.
“I passed out due to an etheric runaway. I’m glad you’re recovering faster than I thought.”
“Who is it, hey? Who are you······.”
When I asked in a hoarse voice, she handed me the cup that was on the side table.
I felt déjà vu and drank the water.
The ceiling wallpaper looked familiar, but to be precise, it was the same room only with the wallpaper, and not the one I was using.
Well, that’s the way it was, so I won’t be able to use it any more.
I remembered my ‘gosiwon’, where the walls were torn and all the windows were blown away.
I ate a room in a week of Bing.
“I am Aurelie Butier. Have you ever heard of it?”
“ah······.”
The mouth opened on its own.
Aurelie Bootier. Of course I know. couldn’t know
She was a celebrity that appeared in any book I read.
the prince’s godmother. A person who has twice refused a duke. The emperor’s close friend and ‘religious companion’.
“I see you, dear Cardinal.”
“Nice to meet you, Prince. You don’t have to get up.”
The only cardinal of the empire greeted with a small smile.
When I got up, she waved her hand.
I didn’t expect such a giant to appear in front of me like this.
Cardinal Butier was a major figure in ‘Toegye-gong’, which Eun-seo often mentioned.
‘Oh, sir, she puts on a ceremony shield in front of Kristel, wow. ‘Cause I almost got over it Come talkin’.’
‘Oh, sir’. She acted as a kind of matchmaker between the main character, Kristel, and the male lead.
When I met Sir Elisabeth, my heart, which was able to recover from the level of embarrassment, throbbed as if I was motion sick when I met Cardinal.
“First of all, I want to apologize on behalf of the imperial family. The imperial error was also large in causing this to happen. His Majesty the Emperor was not able to come because he was busy with government affairs, but he expressed deep regret. You promised to do whatever you want.”
Cardinal Bootier’s eyebrows fell to the chin. I clenched the empty cup.
This person plays an overly important role in the film and is very close to the imperial family.
In the long run, there was nothing good about getting involved.
But precisely because of that, the quality of the information she could get from her would have been extraordinary.
I was on the verge of dying right before I passed out. Studying was worthwhile, so I barely saved my life…
If I had the vivid knowledge I gained from people in addition to the books, the situation might have been much better if I had had a high level of actual control over my surroundings.
The same thing should not be repeated. I decided to go home safely.
To do that, I had to make the most of the opportunities given to me.
“I would like to hear an explanation. Everything.”
“I will explain. All.”
She gently pulled the cup out of my hand, poured the water again, and returned it to me.
Then he filled his cup as well.
“What are these guys? How is it now?”
“If you are talking about Sinki and Peter brothers, they are priests and paladins. They are the children sent from the New Kingdom to assassinate you.”
It was what I expected, but it was awful. They were too young to do such a thing.
“Is that possible? I heard that they were servants who went through strict procedures to enter the palace.”
“Yeah, you’ve reached out to the procedure.”
She wet her mouth with water. It was a sad expression.
“Baron Berang is a small, rural nobleman at the southern tip of the Empire, and he has a very deep faith. As news spread that you were coming to the Empire, the barons wanted to send a child to take care of you. Since the first became Sogaju, I decided to put my twins, the second and third, to the start-up selection test. Both parents and children said they were happy.”
‘If you’re a Baron Baron, you’ve visited once when you were young. The barons were kind people.’
I remembered what Sir Elizabeth had said.
“The two children who passed the document screening got into the wagon for the interview. The portal was too expensive to afford. And while navigating through the harsh forests of the south, he met a robber and lost his life. The driver also died on the spot.”
Without listening further, I could have predicted a horrific backstory.
“These robbers are disguised as vegan twins.”
The cardinal nodded.
