Carr to Territory.
As we enter the Imperial Palace under the guidance of Duc Brendel, the battalion that was pillaging blows the trumpets together. With a magical bubble that was soon fired, the imperial palace sky was filled with colorful numbers, and some of the young nobles who came out to receive it shouted for joy.
As I walk along the red carpet, I see a young knight standing guard, slightly frowning.
I didn’t know the name that appeared in a short part of my life, but I suddenly remembered it. The author died miserably in front of me on the day Hwang Sung fell on a large horde of magic objects.
‘I don’t remember any of this. ’
The dark memories that came to my mind kept eating away at me. I abandoned the old man on the day I escaped the Imperial Court, and even Duc Brendel who was leading me bravely marched into battle and was besieged by witches and never saw him again.
It seemed like it was good to go to Kara. Kara was free from these bad memories because she had no connection to my past life.
Moments later, the procession stops. I looked at the entrance to the imperial palace building when I woke up from the commemoration. There was Grand Duke Carr, his father.
“Lady Yingyang. Welcome. My name is Khar, the great merchant of the Yosrahim Empire. ”
“I’m Shura. We look forward to seeing you in the future. ”
Shura was more polite than ever. He’s my father-in-law.
After greeting Shura, my father looked at me with a very bright look. It was the brightest face of my father I had ever seen. I scratched my nose awkwardly.
“Are you Caoyan in the White Face? ”
“Yes.”
“I’m familiar with your reputation. What a great way to break Duke Bastein. ”
“Anonymous.”
I ended the conversation with a bold, short tone. It’s my father. There was nothing good about hearing his voice for long.
My father groaned and led us into battle.
“Then, my Lady, come here. ”
I followed behind with as much confidence as I could. Through the familiar corridor, another familiar red door appeared. When the door that had been decorated with the sun and moon was opened, a vast plaza-like battle appeared.
Familiar facial megapixels stretching from side to side. They salute us as we enter.
“I see the Great Lady. ”
I looked at the throne from the front. Seats are empty. Soon, however, his uncle appeared with a shout of a knight announcing the Emperor’s march.
Unlike usual, it appears fast.
No matter how far they tried to distance themselves from the Yin Yang cult, they didn’t seem to have the balls to keep the saint girl waiting long.
“Glory to the Emperor! Long live the Yosrahim! ”
Behind the familiar relief, my uncle sat on the throne. When we tried to get down on one knee as a courtesy, the uncle waved his hands.
“No. Though I am Emperor, I cannot bow down to the Holy Lady.” ”
I’ve never heard of Haoche from my uncle. Even though my uncle was the emperor, I couldn’t help but treat the Pope’s equal, the Catholic girl, politely.
Moreover, the owner of Dalahan should serve as a guest of the empire with the will of the emperor. If he neglected to treat his uncle, he would become a worthless emperor who violated the teachings of his ancestors.
“Thank you for your consideration. ”
“Have you had any discomfort all night, by the way? ”
“None.”
“Good. I told my men to take good care of you, but I was troubled. ”
“Thank you.”
Without any religious discourse, he continued to have very small and everyday conversations. It was a subtle line ride between the political goal of being distant from the Yingyang Cult and the courtesy of the saint.
But it wasn’t Duke Brendel who left it alone.
“Emperor. Since the Holy Mother has visited our empire, how about this opportunity to be blessed for the well-being of the Empire and your Manchuria? ”
Then Cardinal Griffin stepped forward.
“Your Majesty, there is an order to everything. After being blessed by the Great Lady of Light, I think that it is right to be blessed by the Great Lady of Yang. ”
“But aren’t you saying that the Great Lady of Light isn’t coming? ”
Cardinal Griffin indicated difficulties in Duke Brendel’s quest. I invited her earlier, but Princess Ignes has not yet visited the Empire.
“Not everyone is the will of God. ”
“Hmph. Does God’s will put children before fathers? ”
Duke Brendel just emphasized that the god of yin and yang, Lumenox, is the father of the god of light, Lou. Cardinal Griffin flinches his eyes.
“No. Lumenox, the Creator, of course. But isn’t it amazing that he doesn’t know where the source is? How can it be like the seventh century God Himself created? ”
“What! You are denying the history of our Yosrahim Empire! ”
Duke Brendel did as he was told. Dalahan is the beloved sword of Emperor Siegfried and a symbol of the construction of the Josrahim Empire. The act of denying this request was like denying the empire.
“I’m talking about religious principles. ”
“Your Eminence, denying the Creator is a religious principle! ”
“There is no evidence that the Dalai ‘an is associated with the Creator. ”
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the war became chaotic. My uncle sighed embarrassingly, and the conservative and the mainstream were shouting at each other.
“Emperor! Banish Cardinal Griffin, who has insulted the Empire, and establish an empire regime immediately. ”
“Imperial Highness, this should not go against the principle of words. Please defeat their oppression. ”
The fight went on for a long time. His uncle rebuked him several times and asked for restraint, but only for a moment, the priests grabbed each other’s tails and continued to ramble on about their religious discourse.
Armida twists and twists me, and Shura bends her knees and repeats the straightening.
I yelled at everyone with a neurotic voice.
“Come on, let’s eat! ”
“ · · · · · ·. ”
Everyone’s embarrassed gaze turned to me. I just closed the mouths of all the major refineries in the empire for eating.
But no one stepped forward. I have destroyed Uruvos, though I have borrowed the power of the Tidebringer. The mythical giant who destroyed the kingdom of Isera.
When he gained his alibi, he said as if he wanted to tie everyone up.
“He’s right. It would be a great excuse to let a precious guest go to waste because of the Empire’s situation. Make haste for the banquet. ”
“Yes. ”
Soon the meeting announced the waves, and everyone headed to the banquet hall.
* * *
The banquet was being held largely. In the midst of the high-tune music, we gathered at one table and shared a meal.
Duke Brendel, who is with him, gives me a shout of relief.
“White cotton. Isn’t that too much? After hearing their brazen words, how can they just eat? ”
“What are you doing hanging out with those bastards going to hell? It’s a waste of stamina. ”
“What do you mean? ”
“Dalahan is a sword that St. Prosia gave to Emperor Yosrahim. You insult a sword like that, you go to hell. It’s blasphemy.”
I took the liberty of praising Saint Prosia. As the symbol of Dalahan grows, my breath grows within the Empire. It wasn’t a lie, and there was no reason not to.
Duke Brendel looks frightened.
“Are you sure? ”
“Yes.”
“But in the myth of the founding nation, it is said to have been received by a woman of mystery. ”
“That’s you. ”
“Are you sure? Do you have any grounds? ”
I glanced at Armida. My sister yelled at me.
“Yes. The Valkyrie I met before. ”
“But it doesn’t prove anything if you just say you heard it. ”
“By the way, when did you believe in God with the evidence? ”
“That’s right. ”
“If you’re unfair, you get stronger. If you insist, that’s the truth. ”
“I understand. ”
There was a colorful young man approaching our table. Blonde man made an empty space with a bright smile and sat with us.
He was my cousin.
“Greetings, Lady Yingyang. It’s Crown Prince Simon.”
“It’s an honor to meet you. ”
Shra greets you with a thoughtless and polite welcome, but Duke Brendel has been showing some discomfort. Simon’s brother ascended to the throne with the absolute support of Duke Manfred, a pillar of light in the empire.
Simon looks at the duc with a bright look. Duke Brendel is in place of a soldier overseeing the total management of the Imperial army. Yin Yang has dominated the Empire’s military bureaucracy for generations, thanks to the influence of Old Cloud.
As Simon’s brother, the Crown Prince’s position was unsettled, his strength was desperate.
“Duke Brendel. Have you been well? ”
“How are you? Hmmm.”
Duke Brendel takes a distance, and Simon throws a strange look at me. It seemed to have made me into the hills of Viville.
“There’s this backbone. Greetings. I am Simon, Empire’s Crown Prince. ”
“I’m Kaoyan. Nice to meet you.”
My half words made Simon’s face more complicated. When I got angry, the Crown Prince’s face wasn’t easy to accept.
Eventually, Simon burst out a big smile.
“Hahaha. Just as they say. Looks like the other way around. ”
“That doesn’t sound like the other side. ”
“I like it. Why don’t we do that, brother to brother? ”
Simon reached out his hand.
Brother, nothing has changed either now or then. I get out of trouble like a muffin. That’s why I’m the Crown Prince.
I held his hand. I was with my brother in my previous life anyway.
“I like it. Well, then, good luck in front of us. ”
“Okay. Let’s do this. ”
Then Simon hung out with me for a while. As soon as Duke Brendel leaves, he looks at it with an uncomfortable look on his face.
“White cotton. Crown princes are all hardened alcoholics. Moreover, they are followers of bone marrow light, so death and death are interfering with our work. ”
“I know, but not Simon. If you’re emperor, you’ll treat yin and yang better than anyone else. We need to contain the Duke of Manfred. ”
“What are you talking about? Duke Manfred is a solid foundation for Crown Prince Simon. ”
“So.”
Simon’s brother inherited the blood of the Josrahim imperial family very heavily. No matter how strong a patron he is, he can’t take on Duke Manfred for life.
By the way, his uncle’s solid support base was Duke Rufet, who now plays the old legs of tomorrow to survive. If he had been unfair, would he have heard the flag of rebellion in his youth as soon as Old Cloud died?
I know my brother too well because of his blood loss. As soon as he becomes the emperor, he must be confiscated. The Palace of Josrahim has not tolerated this heretic for generations.
My father was also the only one who could resist the Duke of Cloud, so he had been able to defend himself for a long time, or he would have become a strappy kite soon after.
* * *
After a ceremony at the Imperial Palace on the first day, Shura visited the Imperial nobles who believed in the teachings of the Lamb. It was a very tight schedule, but I was out.
Because I should have digested another schedule. It was a meeting with the diplomatic authorities.
The Yosrahim Empire was now trying to conquer the Kingdom of Bastein, just as it was in the days of the Kingdom of Robos. Although the kingdom’s name has changed, its essence has not changed. A vast supply of food from fertile land and abundant wealth from intermediate trade.
It is clear that the Kingdom of Bastein will once again be on its way to empire, as soon as it stabilizes the country.
But there is a means to defeat the new kingdom of Bastein. It was the kingdom of Kara.
Kara is a chaos piece produced in the vast Great Desert, currently building a powerful magical armory, and has seized control of the naval trade routes and is making a fortune. In partnership with this kingdom of Kara, the Yosrahim empire has become a charming hand against the Kingdom of Bastein.
But I’m over the scroll. It is because Kara has no lower profits to work with the Yosrahim Empire.
Military cooperation was too far away to expect, and if the Kingdom of Bastein were to become violent in the decisive alliance with the Yosrahim Empire, the sea trade routes that are now taking place could have blocked the island of Jores for the last time.
Moreover, the Yosrahim empire was not the only hostile relationship with the Bastein empire. I didn’t get along with the Orcs very well.
Kara, on the other hand, has many advantages when allied with Orcs. The Orcs weren’t interested in money, so they only regarded the territory of Kara as a barren wasteland. Since they are adjacent to their borders, allies can make powerful allies.
Kara had no reason to work with the Yosrahim Empire.
‘Let’s get going. ’
It’s been almost ten days. I’m getting closer to fulfilling the quest, and I’m starting to head back to my hometown, Car. The purpose of the visit was that I would go and explore before the Grand Duchess Shra visited.
But I didn’t go alone. There was an unintentionally uninvited guest next to me.
“Hey, Grandpa. Why is Grandpa here? ”
“I’m on patrol. ”
“Where?”
“To the land of Karl. I told you to get the army ready, but I need to make sure it’s ready. ”
I sighed deeply.
“Even so, is the Grand Duke going to scout alone? ”
“It’s a secret. If word gets out that I’m coming, I’ll be blindfolded.” ”
“What if someone recognizes you? ”
“Rest assured, I’ve been stuck at home for 60 years, and no one recognizes me but the Imperial Court. ”
I made an annoying face.
“Then you can go another day. Why today? ”
“Hmmm. Car looks like it’s going to turn into a latrine soon. If you handle that lawyer well, you’re in good shape, or you’re not. It’s a clean and simple scout, isn’t it? We don’t have to waste any time. ”
I gripped my teeth. After all, I’m going because of this quest.
“Don’t ever interfere with my work for me. ”
“Don’t worry. I helped. I won’t interfere. ”
“Don’t help! You’re in the way of helping him! ”
“Why? ”
“Aren’t you going to stop yourself from going crazy? ”
Grandpa Cloud looks very surprised.
“How do you know me so well? Have you been doing any background checks on me? ”
I wiped my face.
There was an unexpected big variable. If Old Cloud gets involved, I don’t know how this will go. There may be a lot of bloodshed going on because of the deviation of his plan, and it is unlikely Grandpa Cloud himself will be able to stop the bloodshed.
He was stronger than me, so he could not hold it down, and he was crazy and jumpy.
