Chapter 38 – Episode 38 the Mad Emperor Has Arrived.
“Long time no see.”
The emperor sat on his throne and looked down at me.
I bowed my head following the imperial etiquette and met that arrogant gaze.
“It’s been a long time since you looked at me with those eyes. Was it during the time of the crown prince? You had that look on your face the first time you said you would help me.”
“It was right before the civil war broke out.”
“Ah, it reminds me of the old days.”
“Your Majesty, what did you call for?”
After looking down at me for a moment, the emperor, Leuclide, opened his mouth.
“Is there a need for such businesslike discussions between us?”
When the emperor finished speaking, a mischievous child’s smile appeared on his face.
“Your Majesty is the sun of the Empire.”
“Ha, you say that too. You’re trying to be sad.”
His voice was softer than ever.
The emperor’s blue eyes did not laugh.
Ice-cold eyes glared at my every move.
“You are a very unknown person. Before I became emperor, he acted as if he would act for me more than anyone else, but now that he is emperor, he looks at me more indifferently than anyone else.”
“Your Majesty should look out for all people, not just one person.”
“To me, a person with ability is more important than all those people. An empire is made by a small number of talented elites.”
The emperor looked at me, who did not respond, and smiled bitterly.
“Well, let’s stop talking about boring things here. What about her?”
“Seria, what do you mean?”
“Okay. Ceria. Ha, isn’t it a beautiful sound? Seria Siegfried.”
“This is the woman Your Majesty executed for her status. You know that her name can no longer be called in this empire.”
“I am the emperor of an empire, so who will say anything? Of course, if someone other than Jim called him by his full name, I wouldn’t let him go.”
A fishy smile appeared on the emperor’s lips.
“Seria Siegfried, isn’t that a name only I can call now?”
The Emperor looked into the air and stretched out his hand.
As if he had the utopia he wanted there.
“Your Majesty seems to care about Seria.”
“I loved it. But, as you know, she and I are not of different factions? And since she currently has her empress, it is impossible for her to take her right now.”
The emperor’s face went cold for an instant when he talked about the empress, who was the heroine of this novel.
“No one will stop the emperor from having a government.”
Haha, she likes that of you. But her I have no intention of taking her as her mistress. It’s as sincere as this one. Rather, she is in your hands, so her value shines even more.”
The emperor who laughed lowly opened his mouth again.
“Like she said the other day, I want to see her in her pain. She screams in pain and wants to get out of this situation and wants to see her struggle. That’s why she sent it to you.”
“I understand.”
“How was her scream? Was it beautiful Or did you rather raise your voice? Rather, she could have kept her mouth shut and kept her pride. Because she is a true noble.”
“It’s not something I’m going to tell the person sitting on the throne.”
At that, the emperor got up and walked down to me.
Clattering footsteps.
A subtle excitement appeared on the emperor’s face as he approached me.
“I want to hear it. How Seria Siegfried resisted you. And how you bullied her. I wish she had been in pain.”
I didn’t answer.
It wasn’t something to talk about in Daejeon, where the empire’s business was coming and going.
“Ha, it’s like this again. I’m really sorry.”
He let out a deep sigh.
“Since you don’t talk like this, I want to hear it, but there is no way to hear it. So I sent you a gift, did you check it?”
“You’re talking about Hongryeon.”
“Haa, I want to hear Seria’s screams, so I have to be able to endure it. I was also looking forward to seeing how you would deal with the spy I sent…”
The emperor’s mouth, which had clouded his words, opened again.
“I was a little disappointed. She didn’t expect to leave her alone.”
“I thought it was unnecessary.”
“It’s unnecessary… If so, shouldn’t I just create the need for it?”
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. I will not accept such an order.”
I met the emperor’s eyes.
For a moment, the tip of the emperor’s eyebrows twitched, but he did not show it.
“Done. I am not a tyrant like my father, so how can I give you such an order?”
“Thank you.”
“Still, I want to see you at least once.”
“What do you mean?”
“The process of you training Seria Siegfried. I want to see with my own eyes how it makes you scream, what kind of pain it causes.”
The emperor’s eyes shone fiercely.
‘Am I suspicious?’
That I am not giving her her pain.
Are you sad about this?
I thought while having a conversation with the emperor.
That this man and the main character of the Romance I saw are separate people.
As the main character of the waste, he may have a cruel side, but there was a minimum of kindness.
But to him who became emperor.
It didn’t feel like that at all.
A word popped into my head.
‘Tyrant.’
The previous emperor was like that.
The previous emperor, Vermun III, who abused Ruclid and terrified the people of the empire.
Leuclid said he was not a tyrant like his father, but the potential for a tyrant remained in my head more than anyone else.
If I were to choose a man who would stain this empire with blood, he would be the number one target to watch out for.
Than the dragon that lives somewhere on that mountain.
This man was a threat to the very existence of the empire.
‘Maybe it won’t end like the ending in the novel.’
I remembered the episode of the original story about living happily ever after.
What is the standard of being happy for Ruclid?
I wondered if it was a story that could be used by ordinary people.
‘I have to hurry.’
It means building your own power.
It was when I was thinking so.
“I will visit your mansion tomorrow.”
“You mean the small man’s house?”
“Okay. I want to go to my servant’s house after a while and have a meal together. It would be better if I could see Seria Siegfried’s face. Oh, it must be kind of fun for her to fill my glass. It would be a good appetizer for that self-respecting woman to make a disgusted face.”
After speaking, the emperor giggled and laughed lowly.
“And show me. That famous teaching assistant skill of yours.”
I bowed my head.
“All right.”
***
I went back to the mansion
“Master, are you here? Would you like to start with a meal? Or would you like to take a bath first?”
He grabbed Seria’s wrist as he respectfully bowed her head.
“Let’s talk for a while.”
“Lord, Master. Wait!”
Seria pushed my chest with both of her hands.
I made sure there were no eyes on the people around me, and opened her mouth.
“Bar, outside…”
“The emperor will come tomorrow.”
“Yes?”
Seria blinked her eyes as if she hadn’t expected it at all.
Seria’s expression, which had blinked for a while, changed in real time.
Surprise and amazement, bewilderment and disappointment.
Among them, the most visible emotion was regret.
It’s a pity.
I don’t know what’s wrong
This reaction was unexpected.
At first, she wondered if she would rejoice and beg to change her situation.
“Why are you coming?”
There was no emotion in Seria’s voice.
“I can’t say that.”
“Could it be because of me that His Majesty is coming?”
She nodded.
“Okay.”
With her emperor in her mouth, Seria’s expression was cold.
I wondered where she had seen her face.
Yes that’s right
It was the look on her face when she first appeared in her novel and looked at her heroine.
“Is that all?”
“Yes, I was a little surprised, but it’s okay.”
“The reaction is unexpected.”
“As the minister said, the reason why I am like this is because His Majesty the Emperor is also the cause.”
“Is it.”
“Why did you let me know that His Majesty the Emperor was coming? Is there anything I can do?”
I said to Seria.
“She called to forewarn me,” She says. On the day the emperor comes, you don’t know what I will do to you. Be prepared.”
“Ah… Is that so?”
Seria’s face was filled with excitement for no reason.
“Then.”
It was when I was about to go up to the office.
“I am, Minister.”
Seria called me urgently and grabbed her sleeve.
“What?”
“That… I have something to ask you.”
“Is it about the emperor?”
“No. It’s different.”
Sarah’s lips twitched.
“Hey, by any chance… Sleeping with Snow White, is it sour?”
“Snow White?”
“Yes, in a sexual sense.”
Seria’s face turned red as she spoke.
“Didn’t you hear it outside the door? She felt your presence. Stop thinking about useless things and focus on what will happen tomorrow.”
“Ah…”
Why?
Why did Seria just look at me with her disappointed look?
“To answer your question earlier, let’s start with a meal. Bring your meals to the office.”
“Ah, I see.”
I went back to my office
When you just started working.
The door is open.
“Are you here? Leave your meal at that table.”
I’m in the mood to check who came in because I’m processing the documents that are pushed right away.
“Maurice, I brought you a meal.”
It wasn’t Seria’s voice.
Looking up at the other voice, Snow White was smiling while holding a tray.
“I heard that you couldn’t eat, so I cooked a favorite dish in my hometown.”
The bowl that Snow White brought was a meat dish made from stir-fried lamb.
It looks similar to the bulgogi we saw in the past.
“Snow White, why did you bring it? What about Seria?”
“I just took care of it. Wouldn’t this be necessary sometimes?”
Snow White placed the bowl on the desk in the office.
“I must have told you to put it on the table over there.”
“I will feed you.”
He brought a chair and sat next to me.
Then he scooped a piece of meat into a spoon.
“Done. Let me eat it myself.”
It was difficult to react to Snow White’s sudden action.
Last time, I tried to be so aggressive.
It wasn’t like this.
I received the spoon from Snow White and took a bite.
“How does it taste?”
“It’s delicious.”
It was like eating bulgogi.
It was to the extent that I thought of my hometown that I could not return to.
“Did you do it yourself?”
“Yes, hehe. I’m glad you liked it.”
Snow White smiled, raising the corner of his mouth every time I ate.
The clown she went up had no intention of going down.
“Thank you.”
“This food is used as a health food in our area.”
It’s a health food.
Maybe that’s why I’m talking about this.
“Well, if you feel any energy…”
Snow White wiggled his fingers.
She knew what she wanted.
Snow White, who was looking around her, lowered her voice and whispered.
“May I go to bed tonight?”
“Today?”
Snow White nodded her head vigorously.
‘It’s strange.’
I don’t know why Snow White is doing this.
Isn’t she the one who has to devise a plan for her escape with my seeds?
I’ve also installed some monitoring devices.
‘No way.’
I leaned over to Snow White, grabbed her by the chin, and pulled her towards me.
It was so close that I could feel Snow White’s breath in her.
“Mo, Maurice… No matter how energetic you are, kissing keys is best done in the bedroom…”
Snow White closed her eyes tightly.
I ignored her words and put my hand on her stomach her.
“Mo, Maurice?”
“Not yet.”
“Yes?”
Didn’t edit either.
Why?
I heard that the Cruys have a secret technique that can be modified somehow.
I don’t know why, but something did n’t go her way.
Is that why
You offered me one more night.
“Today is difficult. The emperor is coming tomorrow…”
Clink!
The sound of breaking bowls interrupted his concentration of her.
Seria entered and was looking at Snow White with me.
“I’m sorry. Because her hand her slipped.”
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen such a mistake.”
“I-I will pick it up. Sorry. Do what the two of you did.”
Seria panicked and tried to pick up the broken bowl.
“Leave it. Hurt.”
When I flicked my hand, the mana around me shook.
The broken bowls were put together one by one and returned to their original state.
The bowl, which was completely new, fit into Seria’s hand her.
I couldn’t do anything about the food that fell together.
“Take it.”
“As expected, you are amazing.”
Seria muttered as if to blame.
It was a voice of regret.
“Isn’t that the Minister of Magic? You have to be competent.”
“Yes…”
It was then.
A commotion was heard outside.
What is it this time?
“Master, His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!”
Sebastian hurriedly opened the door to the office and shouted.
“Emperor?”
