Chapter 239

Episode 239:

It was a peace that lasted not even a year or even half a year.

It begins with the fall of a nobleman located in a very small outskirts.

No one cared.

He dismissed it as if he had been attacked by thieves.

But that was the beginning.

Starting with that nobleman’s fiefdom, the fiefdoms of noblemen around him collapsed one by one.

It wasn’t even a territorial war.

No matter how many thieves there were, they never happened simultaneously like this.

It was impossible for there to be no survivors.

And just as it was growing bigger, the entire empire was shaken by the news that a territory recognized for its military power, belonging to a top-class expert, had collapsed overnight.

Until then, even though it was a little strange, I was able to ignore it.

But the territory that disappeared this time was different.

‘A count family that is famous in its own right even in the Empire.’

The position of a count in the empire was equivalent to that of a duke in a weak country.

It was never a power that would collapse overnight like this, without any sound, news, or rumors.

‘Did you hear that? I heard Marquis Chahar was the victim this time?’

‘What are you crazy? Isn’t he the one who set foot in the Master’s door?’

‘That’s why there was more chaos. ‘It’s not just that.’

‘What else is there?’

‘This time, the only survivor reported, and the content was absurd.’

‘What was it about?’

‘A man was manipulating monsters. They said they attacked them at the man’s command?’

‘crazy. There are all these nonsense rumors.’

‘It’s no joke. So, there is a saying that the center is preparing for war right now.’

‘really? ‘I wonder how the world is going to work.’

‘That’s right… There’s an uproar because among the monsters that man controls, there are high-ranking species like ogres. what.’

The rumor spread as quickly as it could and their worries grew.

It didn’t take long for their worries to come true.

“The emperor is crazy!”

“They are trying to force us into limbo!”

The people of the empire protested against the emperor’s decision.

Now that the royal family’s checks were gone, they were enjoying a little peace, but suddenly the emperor declared war.

The good news is that it was not a declaration of war against another kingdom, but rather an unknown enemy that was eating away at the empire.

Soldiers were gathered from all over the empire, and naturally, neighboring countries were very wary of the empire’s actions.

As troops were gathered from the empire with the greatest military power, tension was bound to arise.

Several kingdoms poured out protests to the empire, but the emperor did not even listen and ignored them.

It is correct to say that it was not possible to do so.

“What on earth is he talking about!”

The emperor’s harsh voice fills the space.

The ministers lined up in front of the emperor simply bowed their heads without saying anything.

“Seven knightly orders have already been defeated and eleven fiefdoms have fallen. “What have the ministers been doing all this time!”

As the emperor explodes with anger, the ministers shrink even more.

tyrant.

The current emperor was a tyrant who stained the regime with blood.

It was obvious that he would die if he looked bad in his eyes, but unless he was a loyalist, no one could easily say anything.

No, he is an emperor who makes it impossible for even loyal subjects to open their mouths.

So who can have courage while he is so angry?

At least not here.

“Calm down. your majesty. “I am concerned that my health may be harmed.”

No, there was.

A man with the courage to speak to the emperor who raised his voice by slamming the armrests of his throne.

He is none other than the man who defeated the number one person from the bottom and took that position.

A person who destroyed the expectations of anyone and pushed the crown prince away even though no one had expectations.

“Yes, you were there. “I looked bad for a moment.”

“no. your majesty.”

“Uh huh. Even though I don’t want you to call me that. What is Your Majesty so stiff? Now, call me father.”

“How could I do that?”

“Even if it’s okay.”

Rather than being surprised at the sight of the emperor speaking softly as if he had never been angry, the ministers just sighed inwardly.

I don’t know about the people outside, but all the ministers here were familiar with that appearance.

3rd prince.

A royal family that has brought changes like a storm since it was brought to the Millennium County of the Serion Kingdom.

He was favored by the emperor and was in a position where no one could touch him.

“The ministers are watching.”

“Ah… I did. “There were insectivores who only devoured food.”

When his eyes, which were filled with affection, turned to the ministers, they were filled with a feeling of life and pathetic as if he had never done so before.

“The ministers may not be able to express proper opinions, but they are keeping their mouths shut like dumb people. I don’t want to see it. Get the fuck out of here. “Today’s meeting ends here.”

The ministers bit their lips tightly as the emperor shouted.

They had a lot to say.

Why can’t they speak like this or give advice?

I thought it was better when I was stabbed.

He may have died at that time, but at least the emperor at that time was able to communicate with the person who listened to him.

But not now.

They didn’t really listen to what they said or paid any attention to how much they fell in love with the 3rd prince.

Externally, there were scandalous rumors going around, such as whether the emperor was gay or whether he had perverted tendencies.

Even if the emperor was a tyrant, he was not trash.

But honestly, now even the ministers are confused about it.

The emperor’s current appearance was clearly that of a man who had fallen in love with a beautiful woman and could not escape it.

‘It wouldn’t be unfair if it had been that way.’

If the emperor was crazy about a woman, I would at least understand it if he was wrapped in the width of her skirt.

It is as natural as nature for a man to like a woman.

Moreover, although the emperor was a tyrant, he was also a hero who raised the kingdom to an empire.

Even if he played around with women, no one would say anything.

There was nothing I could say.

What kind of a big man could tell an emperor to play around with a woman?

Originally, this would have been unthinkable.

As a subject of the king’s emperor, what kind of crazy person would want the monarch to be fooled by a woman?

‘There’s nothing we can do since you love His Highness Baan.’

‘An emperor who is rumored to have an affair with his son… The future of the empire is bleak.’

The ministers let out a sigh as they left the emperor’s presence.

“Tsk tsk tsk. “They seem like pitiful bastards. They are the ministers of the country… The future of the country is bleak.”

The Emperor shakes his head and sighs.

Baan comforts him.

“Yes, I’m glad you’re by my side. “As with the former crown prince, you are the only one who does something for me.”

“Don’t say that. Everyone is looking at Your Majesty. His Majesty is the father of all people. “You have to be strong.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

The emperor nods.

His murderous gaze, which had made his enemies tremble on the battlefield, became cloudy as he lost his firearm.

His animal-like muscles, which used to suffocate his enemies, are withered and bony.

Although he was feared by ministers, if you look at him from a distance, he was an old man who would not be surprised if he died at any time.

How did he become like this?

Even just a year ago, he had not become this weak.

Until then, although he was vicious, he was wise and his strong body was helping him.

‘The medicine works well.’

The reason why the emperor became like this was all because of Baan’s scheme.

It was all because of Baan that the emperor lost his firearms and his strong body.

‘In order for me to become emperor, the current emperor must fall. There were obstacles before, but it doesn’t matter now.’

When he was the 3rd prince, the former crown prince became his biggest obstacle.

It was the first mountain he had to overcome to become emperor, and it was also the biggest and most daunting obstacle that would stand in his way.

And with that obstacle removed, he had nothing to worry about anymore.

‘You must become emperor. Only the emperor is the right answer.’

There was something I promised.

He told Raymond and the woman he loved that he would become emperor.

‘The situation is not good.’

Above all, the most problematic thing was that the current situation was going strangely.

Although it was on the outskirts of the empire, too many territories were attacked.

And the damage was so severe that no survivors could be found.

It wasn’t normal.

If you make a mistake, you could face major problems in becoming emperor.

More precisely, I want to receive an empire in good condition when he becomes emperor.

I feel really bad when I receive bread and it has already been eaten, mold has grown, and bugs have eaten it.

That was how he felt right now.

So before that, he had to either become emperor or get rid of the cause of his anxiety.

“your majesty. “If you give me the command, I will reveal the truth of the incident.”

“Are you saying you’re going to move it yourself?”

“If your Majesty wishes.”

“no. You shouldn’t get hurt. “I will move the knight commander.”

“…!”

Baan’s eyes shake uncontrollably at the emperor’s words.

The commander of the knights, whom the emperor spoke of, was no one else but the most powerful figure in the empire and the person in charge of the security of the imperial castle.

He only listened to the emperor’s orders, and even the emperor found it difficult to give orders easily.

Even if you lose your gun and lose your mind, that’s true.

This was not much different from using a dragon slayer to kill goblins.

“Are you serious?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Have I ever said anything nonsense?”

“…Nothing.”

Baan, realizing that the emperor is sincere, retreats.

I realized that it wouldn’t mean much if he said something more here.

In this case, it was better to nod in agreement rather than protest.

“I’m sure if it’s him, I don’t have to worry about this anymore.”

“yes.”

“The only thing I am worried about is that if he moves, neighboring countries will not stay still.”

The emperor snorts and says at Baan’s worried words.

“under! What are you going to do if they don’t stay still? “Should I be afraid of those guys who all they know how to do is band together and run after the beggars?”

“…No.”

Baan gave up saying more.

The original emperor would have realized the problem before he even spoke.

No, I wouldn’t think of moving the Imperial Knight Commander in the first place.

Although it was a result of his own creation, on the other hand, as he was his father, he felt bitter at seeing it turn out that way.

Still, I felt that the problem could definitely be solved.

That idea fell apart a day after the knight commander moved.

The knight commander returned as a corpse.
