Chapter 1612 – 94. Break the Board.

‘Haa, look at this guy?’

A laugh escaped me.

If you are aware of your existence

It would have been better to lay the groundwork to identify a specific person as the culprit.

That would cause great confusion in the search

But the guy behind it didn’t do that.

He personally left his mark on all the princes and princesses.

As if you don’t even care about yourself

As if trickery isn’t even worth it

A clear provocation that cannot even be denied

‘I don’t know who he is, but I know one thing: he is an infinitely arrogant guy.’

He was truly arrogant.

He would do such a bold thing even though he had heard about him from Sethra.

-How do you feel, Sunwoo?

At that time, I heard Agnes’ telepathy in my ears.

Jelly, Jelly

I lightly shook my head at that question.

I couldn’t tell them apart.

Everyone, no matter who they were, was radiating heterogeneous magic power

-…I see.

Agnes looked regretful.

Because it was quite what I expected

The disappointment was bound to be great.

“Why did you come so late? Didn’t everyone wait for you!”

At that time, her second prince, Maximus, looked at her and started scolding her.

She seemed angry at her relatively late entrance.

“The saying is true, we are all people for whom time is more precious than gold, so why do we waste it like this?”

“Are you campaigning just because you’re busy? Hmm, anyone would think that I’m doing all the work alone.”

“Oh, brothers, please don’t be like that. It’s because Agnes focuses on force and has received less training in basic etiquette.”

“It’s my fault. As the older sister, I should have educated her more thoroughly…”

“Act so as not to harm the honor of the imperial family. Truly strong is not strong in force, but strong in unbreakable faith.”

Afterwards, her other princes and princesses also began to criticize her.

Her rushing behavior was not much different from that of a hunting cat that has found its prey her her her her.

“Anyway, who is the knight behind him? Did he bring in an outsider to a secret meeting where the fate of the empire depends?”

“You’re young! You’re really young, how could you be so thoughtless! Bringing in an outsider at such an important time!”

“Can’t we kick him out right now?”

It was a time when the intensity of criticism from brothers and sisters became increasingly stronger.

“Stop.”

The first prince, Varian Leord, who had been silent, opened his mouth.

“It is true that Agnes is late, but she is going too far.”

As he spoke, he began to scan every face with cold eyes.

Then the princes and princesses, who had been criticizing them fiercely, began to silence themselves like dumb people.

I was overwhelmed by his charisma.

“I understand that you are sensitive, but try to refrain from expressing it. You don’t want to have pointless emotional fights between siblings.”

Varian roughly summarized the situation.

“Agnes, it’s not like you normally, you’re late.”

And then he turned his gaze towards Agnes.

“I’m sorry, brother.”

“No, I just hope you pay more attention next time. As I said, everyone’s time is precious.”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“Okay, that’s enough. Now, let me ask you about the person behind the scenes. How did you bring an outsider to the secret meeting between the royal family, Agnes?”

Varian stared at her with his calm eyes and opened his mouth to her.

“Oh, so that person is…”

Just as Agnes was about to explain

“I will explain myself directly.”

Seon-woo, who was standing behind her, stepped forward and opened his mouth to her.

“Seon..Seonwoo-gong?!”

Agnes widened her eyes and asked back, as if embarrassed by that action.

I felt embarrassed by the unexpected and unplanned action.

“There is a change of plan, Agnes, because I have no interest in playing around in someone else’s plan.”

The original plan was to attend the meeting as an escort and take a closer look.

However, the moment he realized that the dark side had intervened and planned to screw him over, his thoughts changed.

I had no hobby of playing around in someone else’s game

‘I’ll just destroy the board and make a new one.’

That’s how I, a man named Jang Seon-woo, lived.

“You rude bastard! Where are you talking to the princess?”

“This guy! “What kind of speaking habits is this!”

“You truly are an unidentified person! You call Agnes in a commoner’s tone when you should be using extreme titles instead of honorifics!”

“Inooom! Why don’t you get down on your knees and apologize right now!”

The prince and princess protested in unison.

I felt repulsed by Sunwoo’s light yet rude tone of voice.

If it was natural, it was natural

Those gathered here are members of the royal family, said to be the most noble bloodline in the empire.

They were all people who had inherited the same lineage.

There was no way to tolerate the rudeness of someone who did not even know the fundamentals.

“Agnes, are you uncomfortable?”

“Not at all.”

Agnes lightly shook her head.

The man before my eyes is a being of high rank, armed with the power to destroy even an empire.

In front of such a man, the calling card of the royal family was extremely shabby.

There is absolutely no reason to be uncomfortable.

“It’s not uncomfortable! What do you mean!”

“Are you saying it’s okay to be treated like that?”

“Agnes! How can you not know that your light actions will tarnish the honor of the imperial family!”

Of course, her royal family, who had no way of knowing about her, only criticized her.

Because it felt like she was ignoring the royal etiquette as she was pleased

“There are a lot of people saying that it doesn’t matter to the parties involved, that’s right.”

Sunwoo continued calmly.

“Even if the parties involved don’t care, we care!”

“Agnes is clearly a member of the royal family, and her every action is said to have the honor of the imperial family at stake!”

“It looks like he is someone who cannot be heard, so let’s call the royal knights right away!”

“No, is that necessary? Agnes! Catch that ruthless person right now!”

“That’s right, subdue that person you brought in with your own hands! I mean, take responsibility yourself!”

She started pointing and yelling at Agnes.

Hurry up and catch that rude guy

“Fuuuuu..”

Agnes sighed deeply at their urging her.

I expected this kind of reaction, so I tried my best to hide it, but when it was revealed, I couldn’t help but sigh.

Of course, I had no intention of blaming Sunwoo.

It’s probably a decision based on one’s own judgment

“Can you please be quiet for a moment?”

Wooooow

At that moment, a feeling of pressure began to spread in the intestines, as if a heavy stone had been placed on it.

Agnes radiated the majesty of an absolute person.

Rumbling

The prince and princess, who had been talking silently, all fell silent.

And then I started breaking into a cold sweat.

I was completely overwhelmed by the initiation of Agnes, which I experienced for the first time in my life.

“…What on earth did you do…Agnes?”

Among the brothers and sisters, only the second prince, Maximus, who had achieved the highest level, could barely open his mouth.

“Forgive me, it was an inevitable choice to prevent the fall of the empire.”

Agnes continued speaking with a calm and weak expression.

“The fall of the empire…What on earth is that…”

Maximus could not understand.

What on earth does subduing your brothers and sisters have to do with preventing the fall of the empire?

“Lord Seonwoo here is a man with tremendous power who can even destroy an empire. How can I remain silent when he offends such a person? I have to subdue him.”

“…You can…Destroy the empire!?…That’s nonsense…There’s no way that’s possible..”

Maximus’ pupils began to flutter like crazy.

Can you destroy the Leord Empire, which has Agnes, one of the seven rulers?

Isn’t it impossible for something like that to be possible?

“Do you think I’m lying?”

Agnes stared at him with unwavering eyes.

Gulp

Maximus faced those eyes and swallowed dry saliva.

This was because I was able to recognize that what she said was not a lie.

Truly, he is an absolute powerhouse with the power to destroy even an empire.

“…”

In the end, Maximus also kept his mouth shut.

This was because there was no thought of going against the will of an absolute being who could destroy even an empire.

Soon, a heavy silence began to settle in the hall.

Because no one opened their mouth

“Thank you for sorting out the situation, Agnes.”

Once her situation was resolved, Seonwoo expressed his gratitude to her.

If it weren’t for her, she would have had to continue the explanation.

“Thank you, I just did what I had to do.”

Agnes lightly waved her hand.

He came forward not only for his own convenience, but also for the sake of the empire.

I didn’t want to get into trouble with the absolute person I couldn’t dare to look at

“Anyway, I think we can finally have a proper conversation now.”

It was a state I really liked.

The overwhelming backlash has disappeared and everyone’s attention is focused only on themselves

“First, let me introduce myself. I am Jang Seon-woo. There are many titles I am called, but I will omit them. That is not the important thing.”

Sunwoo briefly introduced himself and began to speak.

“I will tell you bluntly, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, who are said to be the greatest force in the Demon King’s army, is working secretly within the empire, and was behind the scenes manipulating the assassination attempt on the emperor.”〈 Br〉

“What..What!?”

“..Four Heavenly Kings!!?!!”

“What is that…”

“It was controlled from behind the scenes…”

“Such nonsense…”

The royal family members were all shocked at Sunwoo’s bombshell declaration, with expressions of disbelief.

The mere fact that he is secretly working with the Four Heavenly Kings is truly surprising.

Was he behind the attempted assassination of the emperor?

How can you not be shocked?

“It’s too early to be surprised, there are still more surprises left…”

“Are you saying that there are more amazing things left than this?”

Varian asked back in an incredible tone.

Is there anything more surprising than this?

How can you easily believe it?

“There is someone right here who is in cahoots with that bastard. The corrupt woman who ordered the assassination of her father out of her greed to monopolize the throne.”

“!?!!”

“…What!?”

“You.. Loser!?”

“Assassination?!…Something like that..”

Once again, there was a big commotion in the market.

Everyone began to become extremely agitated by the continuous explosion of bombshell remarks.

“…Are all those words…True?…”

The first prince, Varian, who soon calmed down to some extent, asked back in a trembling voice.

Is it really true what I just said?

“It is an absolutely untrue fact. He has been posing as a high-ranking noble of the empire for a very long time, looking for an opportunity, and after colluding with one of the princes here, he attempted to assassinate the emperor and thereby promote division in the empire. “

Sunwoo began to speak in a calm tone.

“…”

“…”

A heavy silence began to fill the hall.

Is that really the truth?

Isn’t it actually a lie?

If it’s true, who is the traitor?

This was because countless thoughts were swirling around in their heads, confusing them.

“… To be honest… They are all so unrealistic… I can’t believe it.

And then Varian, who was the first to finish his thoughts, to maintain his composition and began to speak slowly.

“I understand how you feel. You are confused and cannot easily believe it. The fact that the Four Heavenly Kings are hiding among the people of the empire and that there is a traitor among your brothers.”

Seonwoo shook his head as if in agreement.

It was not impossible to understand that feeling.

It was full of words that were hard to believe in many ways

“That’s why you brought convincing evidence.”

Clap clap clap

Sunwoo lightly clapped his hands.

Grumbling

At that moment, the empty space distorted and a woman began to appear.

A beautiful woman with a voluptuous body and two impressive bat wings behind her waist

Succubus, Levis

She was taken hostage and appeared in front of the royal family.

“…Hello…I am Levis, a servant of Sethra, the Four Heavenly Kings and Queen of the Succubi.”

Nodding

After revealing her appearance, she bowed to the royal family.

At that moment, the pupils of the royal family began to shake like crazy, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Everyone was shocked by the appearance of evidence that could not have been stolen.

“This guy is the proof.”

Sunwoo’s unwavering eyes sparkled.

*********

Thump thump thump thump

The sound of heavy footsteps began to echo throughout the palace.

“Burns! Where on earth are you? Bourbons!”

The owner of the footsteps is none other than the 2nd prince, Maximus

A man with a warlike appearance resembling a lion began to run wildly and call out for the Marquis of Bourbons.

How long did he search for the Marquis of Bourbons?

Soon he could face it.

The sight of an abominable middle-aged man leisurely enjoying tea time in the garden.

“Bourbons!”

Facing him, Maximus roared in anger.

“Your Majesty, would you like a cup too? The tea smells nice.”

But Bourbons was extremely relaxed.

As if his anger he wasn’t even in his mind

Grumbling

“Inooom!”

In response to that attitude, Maximus pulled out a sword from his belt and held it to his neck.

As if they would cut it down at any moment.

“Looking at the reaction, it seems like they knew everything.”

“Tell me, Burvans, are you really the devil’s army’s henchman!”

“Ah, it’s just as you know. I am Verbans of Arrogance, the greatest force in the Demon King’s army and one of the Four Heavenly Kings endowed with power.”

Bourbons confessed without a single lie.

“How dare you…” “How dare you…” Play with the empire… And taunt me!!”

“Hey, let’s get straight to the point Maximus. I never insulted you. We just had similar interests and cooperated with each other. You were the one who agreed to the plan to assassinate my father in the first place.”

“…I was just fooled by your stupid trick!”

“I was fooled by a trick… That’s a good excuse, I’m sure the emperor will agree right away when he hears that.”

Bourbons began to speak sarcastically.

There was no way I would agree.

Whether it was a trick or something

There is no change in the fact that he cooperated with the Demon King’s army and agreed to the assassination plan.

“…Profit..!”

Maximus knew that fact very well, so he just glared at him and gritted his teeth as if he were going to kill him.

“Hey, Maximus, why don’t we have a more constructive conversation? Let’s get this nasty stuff out of the way for a moment.”

Talk

Passsssuk

Bourbons lightly touched the blade with his fingertips.

At that moment, Maximus’ sword turned into dust and began to disperse.

I lost my weapon in an instant.

“?!”

Maximus’ eyes widened at that shocking sight.

“Anyway, you are on the same boat as me. In the end, the only end is destruction. Isn’t that why you came to me alone because you knew that? If you wanted to, you could have brought Jang Seon-woo and Agnes with you.”〈 Br〉

“…”

It was the perfect answer.

Since I betrayed the imperial family

All he has left is endless destruction

“So let’s talk about something more constructive.” I may be the Demon Lord, but that doesn’t change our deal. I make you emperor, and you give me the title, the territory, and the cube. It’s simple, right?”

“How can I trust you?”

“Hey, you’re breathing fine right now, right? I’m personally saving your life when I could kill you with just the lift of a finger. I think this alone is enough proof of trust, right?”

The Marquis of Bourbons twisted his mouth and grinned.

Udeuk

Maximus, whose pride was hurt by those words, gritted his teeth.

But he couldn’t refute it.

It was a persuasive enough statement

“Follow my words, Maximus, and you will eventually become emperor of this empire.”

“…”

Maximus looked at him in silence for a long time.

“…What should I do first?”

And then he looked at him with determined eyes and asked.

Hehe, very wise decision, Maximus.”

Bourbons had an infinitely mean smile on his face.

With endless greed

Repeating the same mistake

It was a mockery of stupid humans.
