Book 4 Chapter - 13 Chapter 22. The tip of the tarae.
I heard a friction with the clashing water. Leoncia admired the metal wall surrounding her.
It's still a lot of force.’
Ancient magic tools eat away at the owner's body. Therefore, if used in an untrained body, it would be like sacrificing one's body.
Cornelia Rohale used ancient magic tools without wavering. It was more powerful than any other knight.
"So even though he ran away from home, he defeated all his brothers and became Earl."
But admiration was admiration, and what he had to do was his job. If I go back here, I'm sure I'll get a lot of nagging from a lot of people.
Leoncia took a deep breath once, jumped off the floor and grabbed the end of the wall. Even the brazen, nervous woman hated Cyril and Camelia nagging on both sides.
'Cause Cornelia's a little clumsy.’
Thinking so, Leoncia's face, jumping over the wall, had a subtle smile. I doubted it without exception, but I was honestly relieved.
"I can't see Earl Rohale. She may have made the banquet hall like this.’
'No way...'.’
Leoncia recalled a conversation she had with Cyril at the banquet a little while ago. Once upon a time, he was just an ordinary child with a bit of good strength. I never thought she was the owner of an ancient magic tool.
Besides, if you controlled the banquet hall with water, it was Lesio's pawn. So he went out to check.
-Don't play.
At that moment, I heard Cyril's voice in my ears. The Japanese ghost sent it and was even monitoring himself.
"I'm not playing."
-It's already been 75 seconds since Earl Rohale left.
You're a ghost.’
Leoncia grumbled and saw the metal foothold Cornelia had made.
Cornelia is still a good girl.’
There was also a world of difference from Cyril Venus, who talked mercilessly around her ears. He/she could have removed the foothold, but he/she kept it intact whether he/she knew what he/she would come after.
"Doesn't you know that respect for the elderly, Count Venus?"
- Don't talk nonsense without thinking you're old at all old.
"I can't help it. It's up to me to snatch the best part."
Leoncia laughed and jumped over the metal foothold quickly. Still, I was relieved.
He's not a stupid kid, either.’
Cornelia Lohale may have taken advantage of herself, but she didn't make a really stupid choice. She was not hostile to Julia.
Waiting for the end of one talk with Guyana, Felix opened his mouth.
"Your Majesty, I have one thing to report."
"What is it?"
Julia was nervous to see his expression not so good.
"…there's one more ancient magic reaction."
"Again?"
It was unexpected.
"Did Lecio bring in an ancient magic master other than the owner of the water?"’
Julia thought he wouldn't bring Brick on this one.
"Is it Brick?"
"No."
Felix shook his head and opened his mouth.
"It's not fire or fantasy, I see a lot of ancient magic reactions... One is a completely new response."
Felix said so and turned his eyes towards Guyana. Guyana shook her head at the words.
"Well, I've told you everything I know."
Julia patted Felix on the shoulder as she watched Guyana tremble.
"She wouldn't have lied.”
"I'll take your word for it."
Guyana shrugged slightly at the words. But Julia didn't blame Felix or anything. It was a natural doubt for him.It was easy to come up with a solution because Guyana told me that she had the owner of an ancient magic tool by her side before she left Lesio.’
Julia also had her reasons for believing in Guyana.
"…okay, it's faster to check with your own eyes than to guess here."
Originally, I was going to go straight to the banquet hall. It's time for Euston and Cyril to placate the nobles.
'We need two more people to suffer.’
It was not easy to understand the situation outside the Bukgung Palace because the communication magic was not easily reached. After deciding how to behave, Julia immediately told Flena and Jenna.
"You two make Guyana as pitiful as you can."
"Leave it to me, Your Majesty."
It was a very reliable figure. Of course, it seemed a bit exciting. Guyana was refusing to dress up or decorate herself for any other reason than Julia. No, it's not even the level of dressing up, it's the normal way to dress.
If you leave it to two people, they'll do better than I thought.’
Julia smiled reassuringly at Guyana, then turned to Felix and talked.
"Then in the meantime, we need to see who's enjoying Jim's patronage.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Felix moved his hand straight away. A splendid cube wrapped around the two. It was a more stable magical flow than when I came here.
The banquet hall was still cluttered. Time has already become quite ambitious, and usually it's time for the banquet to be over.
"If you're going to die, you're welcome to die."
The nobles remained unyielding despite repeated guidance. The atmosphere of the banquet had completely disappeared.
"If you go wrong, the empire will...….’
'What do we do, the soldiers are already almost disbanded...….’
When Lesio was in power right now, it was difficult to respond.
"I have to see your face to get there!"
"I can't move until I see you strong."
They couldn't contain the growing anxiety in their minds. The bizarre fantasy magic I saw in the Brick case last time. They already knew that its identity was ancient magic. There are many things I don't know just by magic, but I didn't know more about ancient magic.
'Is there really a way to stop it...….’
'Your Majesty's mad sheep seems to be having a hard time too...….’
The nobles tried not to speak out each other's anxieties. After a few hours, gradually, 'Really...There was a question about whether …?'
Whoosh!
There was a roar with a powerful vibration.
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
The nobles were surprised and turned their heads towards the sound. It was dark, but I could feel that something was happening on the back side of the terrace.
Besides...
"Didn't the ground ring?"
"That's right! I'm sure you're...….”
As soon as I said it, there was another thumping vibration.
"Earthquake……?!"
"What should I do? Is the banquet hall okay?"
The nobles were confused and filled with only the warm poncho they had just received. It was made of thin fabric, but it was provided by wizards. Cyril and Eusto had a rather sober grasp of the situation.
"Is this Duke of Othdan?"
Cyril nodded at Eusto's question. Cyril was trying to figure out the situation using a communication tool attached to Leoncia.
"I think they're engaged."
"Which way is Earl Rohale?"
A little while ago, I heard Earl Lohale's actions through Cyril, but I asked him back to confirm it. Cyril replied with a stiff face as usual."I think we're on bad terms, but I think it's a form of alliance with the Duke of Usdan."
"Support is……."
It was when Eusto said so.
-Eusto, Cyril.
A scarlet light came on from the communication area. The two were delighted by Julia's voice. I trusted her, but I was worried that things might have gone wrong.
"Your Majesty, are you all right?"
Eusto quickly lowered his voice to ask.
I don't care about my luggage, more than that'….
"Say it, Your Majesty."
- Are you aware of the sponsorship situation?
Cyril quickly answered her question by organizing the situation.
-Okay, so we might need some backup.
"The Elder Wizard says it's difficult to analyze even the method handed over by the mast."
Isn't Felix's hand-over based on what he did at the banquet hall?
"Yes, that's right."
At Cyril's words, there was a slightly tongue-tied voice from the other side of the communication area. But soon she concluded in a cool way.
Jim will be there for the sponsorship.
"But Your Majesty...….”
Her words frowned on Eusto and Cyril. It wasn't very pleasant for her to keep on the front line.
- Don't you have something to do?
The two shut up and looked at the banquet hall. The nobles were anxious, looking at the movements of Eusto and Cyril.
"Do you intend to take advantage of sponsorship?"
Asked by Cyril, Julia spoke for granted.
It's such a waste not to use it since it's a good game.
Cyril and Eusto nodded, exchanging glances at each other at her words.
"All right, Your Majesty."
In a reliable response, Julia ended the communication as if there was no anxiety at all.
After leaving the northern palace and communicating with the banquet hall once, Julia did not immediately go to support. It was because Felix showed the situation of sponsorship in person, giving him some leeway. The place where the two stopped by was Julia's room in the main palace.
"Thank you, Felix."
"This is how I can help you dress up today."
"-I'm glad I could do with your request in this way."
Felix grinned at Julia's words. She decided to change her ruined dress before going to sponsorship.
To be honest, the battle in the sponsorship was not enough for Julia. The need for support was only a case of 'if'.
In addition, it was none other than Leoncia Vires who was dealing with Lesio's pawn. She was such a great fighter that she even cornered the Ranchean army. In terms of war experience, he was honestly better than anyone else on this continent. He's been through a lot of battles, and he's been through a lot of battles.
In other words, this is a good battle to use.’
Julia was measuring the timing to lift the spirits of the nobles and naturally declare war. And before that, there was something I had to solve.
The treatment of Guyana.
It's too late to prove her innocence after the war started.’
I didn't mean to end this war simply by winning the battle.
We need to clearly show that she's a victim, draw sympathy for her and disgust for Lesio.’
Julia really intended to drive out a war on this continent for quite some time. In order to do so, at least one thing had to be shared appreciation. This was the best way for Guyana and for the Ranchean Empire.
Julia took up the sword, wearing a tough leather glove made for combat."Felix, what's going on?"
"It's perfect.
Julia pulled the corners of her mouth at the words and laughed.
I think you two did a great job.’
She naturally put her hand on Felix's hand and asked one last question.
"What about Flena and Jenna?"
"Of course it's perfect, Your Majesty."
Felix kissed the back of her hand, saying so. At the same time, a colored cube wrapped around the two.
Just before Julia and Felix moved on, the banquet sank into chaos.
"-What are you saying?"
In rare cases, the aristocrats perked up their ears at Eusto, whose voices were raised.
"Traitor Lecio Dietas...…!”
Eusto spoke down, exaggeratingly, after only mentioning Lesio's name.
What else did he do?’
'Don't tell me you're sponsoring...….’
As soon as the information was reduced, the nobles began to fantasize in the wrong direction. Anxiety has soared to the extreme.
"Your Majesty... what did you say now? Why are you alone in such a dangerous place?…!”
At that time, Cyril grabbed the communication and spoke in a serious voice.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...…!”
He shouted as if the communication had been cut off. The words referring to Julia, and Cyril's serious expression, which does not change her expression. The aristocrats, who were well-behaved because they seemed to support others, eventually left their seats.
Count Venus, Duke Marcus!
Some of the nobles came up to the two. Most of them were active on the battlefield during the last war.
"What the hell is going on? Isn't it time for you to tell me that instead of hiding it?"
"That's right, even though we faced swords a few years ago, we're already aristocrats of the Ranchean Empire."
They spoke to Cyril and Eusto protesting with anxiety and displeasure.
"What the hell is going on with sponsorship?”
Cyril sighed loudly at the words. It was such a big move that it didn't suit him. But it felt more like a serious situation than awkward.
"Count Venus!"
"Don't take a moment and talk quickly. Even though it's a little slow, I'll help you.”
"That's what His Majesty...….”
Cyril slowly opened her mouth with a very serious look. It was that moment.
Flap!
"Argh!"
Firecrackers exploded splendidly behind the backs of several aristocrats who crept around in the banquet hall.
"Oh, no, that's...…?”
"Why firecrackers?"
The nobles looked at them bewildered by the sudden occurrence. The firecrackers were all five cars that moved their feet to different doors in different directions. They were all on the floor at the sudden explosion of firecrackers.
"Well, that's a bad idea."
It was one of the senior wizards who said so. They all winked at Eusto as if they were watching.
"- The clever Lord of the Matap saw a suspicious man, and he revealed his tail."
"Everything is as ordered by the Lord of Matap. If the Lord hadn't told us, it would have been a big deal."
"I know, what the hell is the Imperial Guards doing, the banquet hall of His Majesty."
The elders reached out to those who had fallen steadily, saying so.
We can't give our credit to that despicable Duke of Marcus.’
'The enemy of the Lord is our enemy, too.’
The elder wizards, thinking so, bound as if to wrap up the five aristocrats who had fallen with the magic of spouting a very colorful color. Despite the tone of blaming Eusto for his incompetence without any intention to hide it, the person involved did not bat an eyelid.
I guess wizards have a similar personality.’I just thought so. It was very similar to Felix's sarcastic tone.
"Hold them captive. These are the men who rebelled against the Emperor and the Lanchean Empire."
"Yes, Duke!"
The guards moved quickly, tying up the tail-sharp. Eusto muttered anxiously at the sight.
"If the banquet hall monitored by surveillance is this good...….”
"What's wrong, Duke Marcus?"
Cyril pretended to be and asked.
"Because of this banquet, the security was not so tight elsewhere…….”
"No way. Sponsorship?"
"Since this is the banquet hall that has been confirmed repeatedly, there may be people who sneak into the sponsorship."
All the aristocrats who sat patiently stood up.
"Gee, what are you--…!”
"Where is Your Majesty now!"
"That's……."
Cyril opened his mouth, grimacing at the flocking nobles.
"…you said you were going to sponsor."
The nobles all turned to patronage.
'If the king were to change...…!’
"No, I can't believe a man like Lecio came to the top, what a terrible thing!"
The nobles all felt their backs cool. Anxiety, which had been a step away, seemed to have suddenly come to them.
Sponsorship was half-dungeon-like. Can we call this place Sponsorship?
The owner of the ancient magic tool "Water" filled the water like a shallow lake. In addition, Cornelia Lohale's ancient magical instrument "metal" changed the landscape. On top of that, the power of Leoncia Vires' ancient magic "interference" was added, and the original patronage was nowhere to be found.
Cornelia grumbled, stepping on a metal plate above the water.
"What an ignorant man, Duke of Usdan."
"It's not something I want to hear from you who tried to cut me down with a spear a while ago."
Leoncia waved the sword lightly, saying so.
"You're interfering with my power over and over again, I can simply lock you up!"
Leoncia clicked her tongue at the words.
"If I did, I would have been struck by the water. Don't tell me the clever Cornelia can't even calculate the angle?
"-That's where the bill is!"
"I think it's better to be more sincere."
Leoncia laughed and jumped on the metal plate. At the same time, a stream from the owner of the water passed through her original place.
"I'm serious enough. Are you confessing to disturbing me on purpose?”
"It's not a distraction, it's a help deal."
Leoncia flicked her fingers lightly, saying so. Then the stream headed toward Cornelia bent and escaped.
"That's what you think, so you haven't avoided it."
"What is that………!”
"Oh, you didn't expect to be attacked?”
At the words of Leoncia, Cornelia clenched her teeth.
"I knew it!"
"Then it's proven that I'm not disturbing you.”
Smilingly, Leoncia slowly approached the owner of the water. In addition, he was properly interfering with the use of spatial movement, which certainly helped.
But strangely, I feel like I'm trying not to end this battle.’
Cornelia couldn't get rid of her thoughts from dozens of minutes ago. Considering the characteristics and skills of Leoncia, it would have been over even if it had already been over.
It was then.
I could feel the noise behind my back. Cornelia looked at Leoncia, clenching her spear, with eyes of surprise."Don't tell me you're....”
Staring with resentment, Leoncia asked teasingly with a serious, relaxed face, unlike a moment ago.
"Count Cornelia Lohale, do you mind if I stay put?"
At the words of Leoncia, Cornelia looked briefly at the window in her hands.
It was such a window that I thought it was huge for her to write with an ordinary size. Decades ago, when I finished running away from home and went back to the estate, all the people I saw were astonished. Some people are avoiding it.
Cornelia looked straight at Leoncia.
"I didn't expect Duke Othdan to say that."
"He's been working hard on image management for a long time."
Cornelia snorted at the words.
"When on earth was that? It's been so long that the continent was unified."
Cornelia lightly swung the spear, fixed it, and straightened it out.
"You'd better put aside useless nosiness because you're not afraid of one or two notoriety.”
In the first place, it was already nicknamed "Hyena of the North." Cornelia thought it was rather good when she noticed that others called her by such nicknames.
'There's nothing more to be aware of.’
Indeed, Cornelia has since raised Count Roheil brilliantly. In fact, there were quite a few territories absorbed, comparable in size to that of a peacock. Cornelia smiled at the sound of her approaching steps.
"I don't want to come here and lose my game.”
There must be a reason why Leoncia Vires has dragged on so far. And one of the reasons for that, obviously.
'It's to buy time for Joobin to go...…!’
Cornelia, confidently, grabbed and swung an ancient magic tool. Then I couldn't have hesitated more. You don't have to be quiet in the banquet hall for no reason, and you're having a hard time with your arms to the pointy.
Quack-a-bug!
The ground shook. Cornelia surrounded the area with metal plates, anticipating all the radius the "water owner" has moved so far.
"-Conelia, hurry……!”
cried Leoncia in a hurry.
The Duke of Usdan didn't mean to catch this guy himself.’
Cornelia quickly calculated in her head how to move.
'Which is more valuable?’
The conclusion came out shortly. Because I know who's behind Leoncia. She turned to Leoncia, adjusting the metal plate to prevent the owner of the water from escaping.
"Trade, you're thinking of doing it, right?”
With that shrewd look, Leoncia looked at her with some surprise, and soon pulled the corners of her mouth to smile.
It was a satisfactory suggestion.
"What is all that about now……?”
"Is Count Rohale dealing with magic?"
"Isn't he Duke of Usdan?"
A few minutes later, Cornelia Lohale offered Leoncia a deal, and the nobles arrived at the patronage. In the name of Eusto and Cyril, they seem to care about the explanation, so they will somehow check it with their own eyes.
But what they saw in front of them was a sight beyond imagination. The shallow lake-like surface, the metal plate sticking out of the ground. It was a disturbingly bizarre sight.
The nobles quickly climbed to the empty metal plate and watched Cornelia and Leoncia in battle.
Whoops!
There was a splash. A stream passed narrowly through Cornelia's vital point.
"…I've seen Count Rohale quite often in the North."
One of the aristocrats who was watching the situation opened his mouth with a stiff look.
"I've never seen a count so disorganized."In short, she's been struggling quite a bit.
"Isn't that ignorant window too much for you?"
At the words of another aristocrat, the northern aristocrat shook his head and said.
"- The Earl is also famous for his art of creation. There's a reason why I'm holding up in the North."
Saying so, the Northern aristocrat clenched his fist. Not only that, but the nobles who grasped the situation chewed their lips.
'If they fall apart like this...….’
I had a gut feeling that I shouldn't. One man alone was such an ignorant force. Besides, it's not like senior wizards are playing around.
The nobles felt a sense of crisis. We can't miss the author who is sure to be Lesio's subordinate.
The Duke of Othdan and Earl Roheil are somehow tying him up.….’
It occurred to me that I had to help somehow.
'The war will soon be... Because I'm going to get up.’
There was no sense of crisis in the Brick case. However, the banquet hall's work today, and the emperor's aides who were embarrassed as usual.
It was enough for the nobles to feel a sense of crisis. But it wasn't easy to fall off. Because their battle immediately felt so unrealistic even though they had war experience. The hesitation caught them and stopped.
But then.
Splash
Bang!
"Count Rohale!”
Cornelia's body bumped into the metal plate nearby where the nobles gathered. Her window made a louder noise.
"Are you all right?"
One of the nobles ran and tried to support Cornelia. Her dress, her hair, was a total mess. Cornelia sprouted blood and raised a mess, apparently because of the shock a little while ago.
"You don't have to worry. Because you're strong.”
The wound looked severe for saying so.
"No, Earl Rohale. I think I got a big wound on my back...….”
It was that moment. The owner of the water, who seemed to be far away, came with bloodshot eyes.
"Those like Boroughs."
It was a dreary voice. His sudden presence brought the nobles to a halt.
The owner of the water slowly reached out. He looked as if he had been tired and annoyed by the battle so far. The nobles urgently found something to stop. But there was no way.
The water level gradually rose. Cornelia clenched her teeth and raised the height of the metal plate. Behind the scenes, Leoncia tried to sabotage the owner of the water. But her body fell into the water in the hands of the owner of the water as if it were cumbersome.
"Duke of Oustan!"”
The nobles called her in surprise. But Leoncia's body sank inexorably below the surface.
'How can I stop... That monstrous man!"
The nobles looked at the owner of the water with desperate eyes. Would it have been better to remain in the banquet hall?
'Your Majesty, where the hell are you...…?’
Yulia was not the only one. In this situation, Yustona, Felix, and Cyril didn't even show up to make a decision. This was the result of pushing Yustona Cyril's dissuasion as a right-handed fight and even sponsorship. Their judgment was not wrong.
"Is this the end?"
at that very moment
The milky fog lay around. Along with him, the owner of the water was seen faltering.
"This fog is....”
Someone opened their mouth as if they had seen it in a war a few years ago. As if blocking the aristocracy and the owner of the water, the cube of various colors gradually gathered and shone.
"…Your Majesty!!"
The first thing that caught my eye was a reliable golden hair. And, then, what came into their sight was the appearance of a little girl with a small build."Eton's Evil Woman...….”
The curly hair shook like a wave. Thin and scrawny, Guyana willingly stood in the way of the nobles.
As if to protect.
Guyana didn't gain weight, so she stretched out her skinny arms. Her troubled face appeared in the eyes of the aristocrat right behind her.
'Isn't it really a sad and distressing face...….’
Her face was so deep that she wondered what kind of pain she had to make that face. And yet Guyana didn't stop her hand. It was noticeable that the owner of the water, who had been rushing to the brink of death, became stiff.
'The power to manipulate people...…!’
They realized at once what Guyana had done. The power that frightened her by calling her a wicked woman.
It was the ancient magic 'control'.
But at this moment, they were strangely pleased with her power.
'Lived...'
The power of Guyana gradually alienated the owner of the water from them. The fear and sense of crisis that dominated the whole body has faded. She was in a much smaller and more vulnerable position than herself. But sense of relief took precedence over shame.
The fact that she was the daughter of a traitor was erased from her head in front of the act of protecting them immediately.
You said you don't have to work hard.’
I didn't mean to let her show up here. Julia gave her a wistful look at the painful-looking girl, as if to stop now.
But Guyana shook her head. He looked determined as if he could not give up what he could do. Julia straightened the sword in that manner.
"As long as he thinks he's helpful, he'll never stop."
Then I had to make Guyana comfortable as soon as possible. Julia swung the sword quickly. A golden sword flew toward the owner of the water.
Pong-
Gold glanced through his forearm. A round bead slipped out of his forearm, leaving a sharp wound and fell into the water. The owner of the water tried to retrieve the marble by clenching his teeth, but faster than that, a brilliant cube of light wrapped the ancient magic tool "Water."
The next moment, Julia embraced Guyana's shoulder and stopped the ancient magic. With him, Julia commanded in a loud voice.
Detain the rebel Lesio's men-!"
At some point at the order of Emperor Julia, court wizards cast a spell on the owner of ancient magic tools. It was followed by armed guards who dragged him away.
"That arm..."
One of the nobles, who was looking at the owner of the water being dragged, muttered. The condition of the arm pierced by Yulia was bizarre. Bloodshot veins rose, and bruises were all over the place.
The owner of the water clenched his teeth and didn't even groan. But it was a painful face to anyone's eyes.
"Isn't he an aristocrat of the former kingdom of Nas?"
"…right! How come a noble man is under a traitor...….”
A man who recognized the face of the aristocrats lamented with a miserable face. Julia took care of Guyana, leaving their embarrassment alone for a while. She exhaled fast in her arms.
"Why did you use your strength?"
"…I don't like it, I didn't."
"You didn't hate it.”
Julia looked at Guyana with a ridiculous face. There was a cold sweat on her forehead.
'Your expression...'
It seemed painful due to the ancient magic recoil, but it also showed relief.
"It was something I could do to help, this time…… not to bother anyone.""Gayana……"
Guyana had a face that was somehow moved. It was an ancient magic that had been used only as a tool of Lesio.
"Your Majesty... you told me I could do whatever I wanted to do."
She smiled very lightly, saying so. A very small voice could only be heard in Julia's ears, chirping.
"You look so happy, it's hard to say anything."
Originally intended to direct with Felix's magic.
'…it turned out rather well as a result.’
I've lost my appetite for the fact. Julia soon swallowed up the lingering bitterness. It was unnecessary appreciation now. Julia opened her shoulders and opened her mouth in the form of an emperor.
"Hurry up and heal Duke Othdan and Earl Roheil."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Before I knew it, Cyril and Jenna, who were nearby, nodded and took the two people inside the palace.
Both showed good production. Cornelia, in particular, was even injured. The nobles opened their mouths as if they had come to their senses at the voice of Julia.
"Your Majesty... what happened to the traitor Lecio Titas?"
They gently opened their mouths, glancing towards Guyana. The way she looked at her was not smooth, perhaps because she had forgotten about being helped.
"The traitor Lesio broke into the palace to kidnap Guyana here.”
"Then where is he now?"
"He decided that he couldn't achieve his goal and ran away, leaving behind a noble named Nas, whom he saw a while ago."
One of the nobles who was listening to Julia opened his mouth with a curious face.
What do you mean, "abduct?" Isn't she the daughter of the traitor Lecio Dietas?"
"Gaiana has no intention of returning to Lesio. Isn't it fair to say it's kidnapping because we're trying to force it?"
The words caught people's eyes on Guyana. Julia wasn't hugging Guyana's shoulder like she was a while ago. But the way she looked at her looked so sweet. The nobles couldn't help but notice the meaning of that look.
"Your Majesty, the daughter of a traitor and the evil woman of Eton... Do you believe me?”
'She's a sinner to the core!'
Their words set Julia's eyes on fire.
"Who do you think saved you a little while ago?"
"It could be a temporary whim."
"Your majesty, it's something we can decorate to deceive our eyes."
The nobles had an ugly face because they had been helped a while ago. But it is that, and it was this. They were also adverbs for Julia and the Empire.
"Your Majesty knows the notoriety of Princess Guyana.’
You said she was a b*tc*. I think it's making the eyes of the wise king dim."
In addition, there have been nightmares of the past two years. Julia was tricked by the Duke of Pez and reigned as a tyrant. Although Pez is dead, Guyana, who is called the evil woman, can be a second fez. Furthermore, Guyana's power was none other than control.
"But didn't you see it, too?"
Despite her words of concern, Julia replied in a blunt manner.
"Resio, the traitor, will attack by all means, with such force."
"Hi……."
"Gayana's power is very appropriate to fight ancient magic, is Jim's judgment wrong?"
Julia's words seemed reasonable at first glance. But the nobles could not accept it.
How come you don't think about her danger?’
The nobles lamented, unable to vent their frustrated hearts.
'Maybe you're now a princess...….’It was then.
"I'm not... willing to do anything bad to you."
It was a small voice, but enough for them to hear. The aristocrats gathered in Guyana's voice, which came out like a leak, swallowed their breath.
It was the first voice I heard. It was such a normal girl's voice. To be honest, I expected it to be grim, ominous. Guyana would always move her hands with a blunt face on the battlefield. Eton's wicked woman who always stirs the battlefield in a suffocating dark and rustic dress.
That was the image of her so far. But when I saw it up close, the image was so different that I wondered if it was really him.
'…Looking at it now.’
The voice of Guyana seemed to open my eyes a little. Only then could the nobles see the two properly. What a contrast. Julia, who wore an elegant and elegant dress at the banquet hall, was already in uniform.
The white-based uniform was designed similar to the one worn by the Guard, but it was much more colorful. Along the collar and trim, gold embroidered. The silkworms are also decorated with colorful gold threads twisted together. When thinking of Julia, colorful blonde hair, which is often a symbol of the past, was unleashed without any other decorations.
He looked like an emperor with dignity. Yulia was the closest look to her on the battlefield, which always comes to mind first.
"…what are you thinking?"
The nobles now realize that the situation itself is all intended. I couldn't accept the fact that he changed from a dress to a uniform and appeared at the right time. I've been stabbed in the back by the emperor so many times.
Guyana, standing by the majestic and monarchical Julia, was in stark contrast. Julia was the most familiar figure to them, but Guyana was unfamiliar, far from the image known to the contrary.
The lightweight dress made of chiffon went well with summer. The light water-colored fabric gently wrapped around her body every time she moved. It was summer, but the sleeves were long and covered up to the wrist. But it didn't look too hot because it was made of thin material.
Empire-style dresses weren't a trend these days, but they fit in with her and felt sophisticated. Unlike the previous style that I thought I'd change the dress that was popular decades ago.
The curly grey hair was neatly stretched on the back using only a simple ribbon. Curly hair, which moves like tickling the cheek, created a unique atmosphere.
Just by looking at the appearance, it seemed like a normal aristocratic spirituality. But even if you don't think about Princess Guyana, she looks strangely pathetic and dim.
'How can he be so pale...….’
Plus, he's small and skinny. It wasn't just skinny, it was scrawny. I felt like I couldn't pay for it.
'If Your Majesty were to torture you...….’
Some aristocrats suddenly thought of it, but soon erased it.
"No matter how much you are the daughter of a sinner, you are not the one to starve.’
In that case, it was more like Emperor Yulia to punish neatly. Not if it's Cyril Venus or Felix, her people.
They calmed down their thoughts. It was a look of intent, so my mind was rather clear. The nobles asked Guyana, ruling out emotional thoughts as much as possible.
"With Her Majesty... It says it doesn't do anything bad to the empire. But how can we believe what you say?"The horse was directed at Guyana, but was more like a throw at Yulia.
"How will you show us your trust in the princess?"
Julia's other appearance of the princess certainly worked. Now that I've become much softer to ask her. However, he did not intend to fall for it as if he were possessed.
Guyana's shoulders trembled a little when asked by them.
'Even if I cry, I won't let it slide...….’
But Guyana was just shaking a little, and soon slowly raised her head and looked at the nobles.
"I can... do anything."
Gray eyes appealed to them with a clear light unlike in the battlefield.
"You can keep an eye on me if you want, every move."
"…what nonsense are you talking about now."
"No, if I'm nervous, you can lock me up, if you want me to give you a tower, you can do that.”
Guyana quietly put her hands together. Desperately, she put her wishes into her mouth.
"So to my father… Please don't try to let me go. Help me... return your favor alive."
The nobles remained silent. The earnest words were more like a child's request than a princess. Emotions as if they had felt compassion for the first time were conveyed desperately.
'No way. Princess Guyana is King Eaton's favorite daughter...….’
As soon as I saw Guyana again, I saw unexpected signs in their eyes. There was a small scar under her sleeve, exposed by her arms raised.
'…no way.'
It was a sign of abuse by any means. They unknowingly checked Guyana once again. It was covered by clothes, but it caught sight of scars that were not completely covered.
"Stop."
Julia spoke as if to block their gaze.
"That's enough of rudely.
They realized their actions at the words and bowed their heads. I was so surprised that I acted as if I were checking, but I shouldn't have done it. The act of looking through others.
But Guyana looked at Julia with a look that she didn' Her eyes were as if she were saying.
I'm fine, Your Majesty.
The nobles felt a strange guilt in their innocent, clueless eyes. Unlike Juliana and herself, she was not doing political calculations.
"Really... betrayed his father and turned to His Majesty."
Yeah, it was, come to think of it. Even if Julia believed in her, they were not easy to allow in the face of her henchmen Cyril, Eusto and Felix. Her arrival here with Guyana meant that the henchmen also agreed to this action.
One of the nobles looked at Guyana and Julia's toes alternately and opened his mouth as if he could not resist.
"Your Majesty, you...….”
Julia looked at him with a stern face. He seemed to have a good distinction between what to say and what not to say. He swallowed his breath once, picked up a horse and opened his mouth.
"Did you accept the request of Princess Guyana?”
I asked around as much as I could if I had saved her from being abused. The aristocrat was nervous even though he asked. Just in case it's something I can't say.
Julia stared at him and nodded slowly.
"You're right, I've just shut up because I haven't had a chance to explain.
"Why did you hide it, I'm sure at the first presentation...…!”The nobles thought Julia always seemed to hide the truth from them. If they themselves were really loyal to the emperor, they could not be sure. But at least the goal for the empire would be somewhat similar.
But Julia and her aides would test and monitor each time to tell the truth. Even being led by this patronage in the first place didn't feel so good.
"It's not that I don't know how you feel."
"Then how did you manage to do things like this way?"
If you were going to hit me in the back of the head, it would have been better to let me know after everything was over. And if it's Yulia they've been through so far, it could have been.
They felt that they were not trusted by their emperor. And it occurred to me that it was none other than themselves who made it so. In the first place, when such a thing happened at the banquet today...….
'The nobleman of Ranchea, no...….’
All the nobles belonging to the duchy of Usdan were calm in their own way. They were the only ones who still had no sense of imperial nobility. I thought I couldn't help it, but on the other hand, I felt pathetic about myself.
'It would be better if you could think of yourself as a nobleman of Ranchea.’
It was even more so when I gradually saw that Julia did not show such a discriminatory. Why did even nobles from other regions change cooperatively with the emperor until this banquet? Why would Earl Roheil, called the Northern Hyena, move.
They weren't stupid enough not to know the truth. This is because they realized that they should not pretend that they have no close relationship with the empire.
In fact, Julia planned a pilot educational institution after announcing that she would lower all new titles to single-win titles. Cyril and Julia will receive their first students in the spring of the following year.
Besides, is that all? The area where the title was recovered was kept under the direct command of the emperor, but some of the people who lived there for a long time were to be selected and examined. Periodically, the aristocrats who worked in the Imperial Palace were sent to manage.
In short, Julia did not focus solely on the existing Kingdom of Ranchea. Right now there are only physical limitations, and she was really looking at the Lanchean Empire, which has taken over the entire continent.
"Did you... think we were... ridiculous?”
Even after spouting the words, the nobles felt ashamed. Because I realized it. The reason why I'm showing Guyana in front of me.
The first was to inform her that she was a victim before she was the daughter of a sinner. And secondly, it was to show that even the daughter of a traitor would embrace the person if she had a will of loyalty.
In short, it was staged because he wanted them to follow rather than order them. Julia answered questions from aristocrats in an unexpectedly soft tone.
"Isn't it because you already know that it isn't?"
"…why did you do such a hassle?"
"Because you have no choice but to continue to doubt."
"…what?"
"Hasn't Jim already done something you can't help but doubt?"
The tyranny of the last two years. It wasn't Julia, it was Guyana's action. These were actions that wanted to convey the word "evil woman" to Yulia.
Looking at Guyana's slightly cringing shoulders, Julia patted her like she was fine.
"So you must think that you want to be with this empire in person."
Julia made eye contact with them. His eyes were more sincere than ever. I'm not always trying to figure out what Yulia wants and if I can get one more. It really felt like talking to each other."The last war ahead, no…….”
Julia stopped talking once. I shouldn't have said this was a war.
"Can't I really work for you and Lanchea after the rebellion?"
“…….”
The nobles looked at Julia's serious blue eyes. I didn't mean to get away with it right now. Nor was the forthcoming war to mobilize troops against insurgents.
They vaguely realized. The battle between Leoncia and Cornelia in the background is also staged. So it won't be difficult for Yulia to beat the traitor Lesio Titas.
She was just fighting the insurgents, and this action today, all for the sake of the future empire. To permeate their minds that are easily twisted.
Moisturizing water seemed to permeate my heart, which was disappointed and hardened. It was not enough to be immediately moved and loyal to Yulia. But it was enough to set foot on the next target she offered.
The nobles softened up their stiff mouths.
"…I see, Your Majesty."
One of the nobles bowed his head saying so. Then other aristocrats nodded to Yulia along the way. It wasn't just an act of being swept away.
And soon turned to Guyana. In the eyes of many, Guyana looked nervously and firmly. He seemed to have no intention of falling from Julia's side.
All the nobles felt it on that face. That she's a lot softer and more naive than she looks.
"I feel like you have a younger brother.’
Everyone knew that Guyana and Julia were about the same age, but they thought so.
"Gaiana the Princess."
"Yes."
It was still a small voice. It was clearly revealed that they were anxious, so they felt as if they had become bad adults.
"Your future is not something we can decide."
The aristocrat who said that looked at Julia for a moment, then spoke to Guyana again. I thought I knew it now. What Julia wants Guyana to hear. I could get a glimpse of how the Emperor paints the future.
So the aristocrat was willing to say it. Because he also thought it was right.
"If His Majesty has decided to accept you.”
He spoke in a clear voice on a non-threatening note. So that it's delivered to her properly.
"The rest is all up to your will."
"…on my will."
Guyana's eyes grew round and brightened. A smile came to mind as if the word hope was embodied above the pale and anxious face.
The nobles blinked for a moment as they smiled broadly. I couldn't really think of him as the "Eton's Evil Woman."
"Well, now that I've seen you strong... I'm going to go now."
Julia nodded at the greetings of the nobles.
"Well, everyone's tired.”
"I know you'll be calling us soon."
Julia nodded with a smile at the words.
The nobles first showed their willingness to defeat the rebels.’
She tapped Guyana on the shoulder as if she had held out well, watching them turn around. There was only one left now.
"Lecio Dithas, I will give you a complete end."
