Chapter 67 – Chapter 67 Your Majesty Can’t Kill Me

“Are you scorning me now?”
The emperor’s treasured sword touched my neck and trembled.

“Don’t you have any intention of listening to your beliefs in the first place?”
“What?”
“Are you sincere in what you hear with a knife to your throat already?”

I stared straight into the Emperor’s eyes.
That they had already called me to the imperial palace.
I meant that you were suspicious of me.
I wondered which side I would join, having had a meeting with Emily and hadn’t yet claimed to be a certain faction.

“If Your Majesty really wanted to listen to what he had to say, he wouldn’t have taken out the imperial family’s treasured sword.”

The emperor’s eyelids glared at me flickered noisily.

“Then if I hold a sword to your neck, does that mean your loyalty is towards me?”
“I don’t think it is loyal.”
“Then you won’t be loyal?”

My throat burned with the cut from the emperor’s sword, but my expression didn’t change at all.

“Say it!”

I slowly opened my mouth at the voice of the emperor who shouted with blood in his eyes.

“The conviction is always to work for the empire.”
“For the Empire… Aren’t you for yourself?”
“An empire is an emperor, and His Majesty the emperor is an empire.”
“Does that mean you want to become a member of the imperial faction?”
“That’s right.”
“Is it…”

The emperor laughed lightly.

“Whoop whoop.”
“Put down your sword and keep your cool. It is necessary to be gentle in order to win the true heart of your subjects.”
“Surely you promised to remain loyal to me until the end.”
“That’s right.”
“What do you see and believe?”

Power went into the hand holding the sword.

“Your Majesty can’t kill me even if you don’t believe me.”
“What?”
“Because I am the only person on this continent who can heal Her Majesty.”
“Your confidence is great. But I can kill you and kill the empress as well.”
“If he did, I think he would have already done it.”
“…”
“If Her Majesty had already intended to kill her, then she would have killed Her Majesty right away.”

The emperor’s eyes twinkled.

“If you dare to order Her Majesty to heal the broken empress, isn’t that because Her Majesty still has some business to do?”
“There is nothing left to do. But you’ll need to make sure you’re actually getting better.”
“Actually, things have improved a lot.”

At those words, the emperor’s eyebrows twitched.
His interest turned to the empress.

“How are you?”
“My tongue has recovered to some extent and I can speak basic words. Eyes can also distinguish simple siblings. But I can’t hear it yet.”
“Did you recover quickly? Priests can’t cure anything. Giggling”

The emperor laughed eerily and inserted his sword.
Her feelings for the empress still remained to the point of killing any enmity towards a subject who would doubt her loyalty.
The gamble I had taken without knowing it worked.
If she wasn’t enough even as an empress, I was thinking of putting a mana circle on her chest.

Oaths with mana have an absolute effect on wizards, but oaths in the imperial palace where mana is not properly used do not have the effect.
It was the reason why he was willing to spend mana.

Although it is unnecessary at the moment when the emperor has withdrawn the sword.

“Forcing me to insert my sword with an ability other than loyalty… You really are a dangerous person.”

However, he did not stop laughing.

“I need you, so I won’t kill you… However, if you heal the empress. What are you going to do then?”
“At that time, I will show you a new ability. That would satisfy even His Majesty the Emperor.”
Haha!”

The sound of laughter that filled Daejeon was full of madness.

“I must have been crazy for a while. Are you trying to kill such a powerful servant? Are your wounds okay?”

The emperor ran his hand over his wounded neck.
As his fingers brushed the wound, he felt a burning pain.

“It’s okay. Never mind.”
“Really… I wish all these subjects were like you. Whether it’s ability or loyalty, I hope you can help me.”

After speaking, the emperor giggled and laughed.
A moment of silence fell between me and the emperor.

“I believe in you, but I need confirmation that the empress’s treatment is going well. Can I come see you tomorrow?”
“Of course.”
“If the empress’ condition is not much different from before…”

The emperor grew.

“At that time, I will have no choice but to seriously doubt your loyalty.”

***

Solarion’s mansion in the capital.
In the mansion’s yard, Solarion swung his sword.

“997!”

Emir thought.
The appearance of her maid, Misa, turned into a cold corpse in the carriage.
And she swung her sword.

“998!”

Emir thought.
She confessed her weakness for not properly punishing her enemies who dared to draw their swords at Solarion.
And she swung her sword.

Whoa!

Emir thought.
To Morris.
The great wizard of the empire who lightly annihilated Solarion’s enemies she could not subdue.
In the end, she couldn’t stand it alone and enlisted Maurice’s help again.
Like your past self.

The emir swung her sword wide, as if to dispel her weak thoughts.

“Cloth!”
Whoa!

“Haha, haha.”
She patted her chest.
Shortness of breath
That day she swung her sword to forget about work.
She could forget about swinging her sword. But more than that.
She realized her own weakness again.
She thought she was strong.
But just one month wasn’t enough.

She tried hard enough to put calluses on her hands, but when it came to fighting the enemy, she couldn’t use her strength.
Her hands trembled.
The touch of her enemies she had killed was still vivid.
She felt her life fading away in her hands.

The death of Misa, who was the emir’s maid, and herself who cowardly fled.
It all happened because she was weak.

“My lady, please stop.”

Bartram, who was worse off, grabbed Emir’s wrist.

“Knight Commander…”

The emir looked up at her batram who held her own hand.
Tears flowed from her red, swollen eyes.

“You are overdoing it.”
“Captain, Mass died because of me.”
“It’s not because of the lady.”
“No. If I were stronger… Mass didn’t have to die.”
“Why is that because of the lady? It’s because of those who dared to point their swords at Solarion’s banner.”

Blood was flowing from the emir’s hand where she let go of her sword.
The calluses were ripped open, exposing the skin on the palms.
Blood flowed from her wounds and soaked the sword.

“Captain, why am I weak?”
“It’s been a while since I picked up the sword.”
“I couldn’t keep it.”
“You can’t keep everyone.”
“However… That man was different.”
“Do you mean Maurice?”

Emir bit her lip.
It was a name she didn’t want to hear.
But she was the man who saved her, and who might be the strongest in her empire.

“Yes. As if that person was natural. I did it like it always happened.”
“Maurice’s strength is beyond human. It is natural.”
“I want to be strong too. Not without the man’s help.”
“It will be possible. But take a break today. Excessive training is rather poisonous.”
“Yes…”

Emir’s voice was powerless.
But she couldn’t put it in her mouth.
She knew that Maurice, who had saved her, kept coming to her mind.
That his reliable and gigantic back that used magic to kill his enemies wouldn’t leave.

***

“New… Gni, huh?”
Cecilia, who was lying on her sick bed, struggled to open her mouth while looking at the emperor.
As soon as I saw the emperor, it was the first word I uttered.
Leuclid.

Even though her vision would be so dark that it would be difficult to properly recognize her shape, she recognized Leuclid and said.

“It’s definitely on its way back to normal.”
The emperor looked at the empress and nodded her head.

“Did that confidence come from your skills?”
“Confidence comes from tangible results.”
“Keukke, I really like that part.”

The emperor looked at me for a moment and asked.

“How long do you think it will take?”
“Two months, maybe even a month at the earliest.”
“It’s been a month… So that it can heal perfectly within it.”
“All right.”

I bowed my head.
The emperor, who was examining the empress again, opened her mouth.

“It is so beautiful. Isn’t it?”
“That’s right.”
“I want you to train her empress.”

At the sudden announcement, I raised my bowed head and looked at the emperor.
What is this
I roughly expected it.
He was the emperor who ordered Seria to be trained.
By the way, the empress?
It was nonsense.

When I didn’t answer, the emperor opened his mouth again in a voice mixed with annoyance.

“I was told to teach the empress. You can do it your way. I want to see you tutoring her empress.”
“New… Good.”

The empress stood beside her and called her emperor’s name anxiously.
The empress obviously knew that she was in a state where she couldn’t hear those words.
Hearing her plaintive voice, I lowered my head.
Don’t mind
I didn’t want to see the main character of the novel I liked ruined.
And as a human being, I can’t see such a terrible scene.

“I’m sorry, but no matter how much the emperor, that’s impossible.”
“What?”
“As a subject, how could you put your hand on the empress’s jade body? Please take that order away.”
“A member of the imperial family, or an order from the emperor. Do it.”
“It is impossible.”

Quick.
Tendons rose from the emperor’s head.

“Say it again.”
“It is impossible.”

I meant the same.

“I will take your word for treatment. However, this order is not allowed. How could I touch her majesty, the empress?”
“Would you like Seria?”
“Seria is a lowly woman. She is She, but she cannot touch the body of a noble person.”
“Is loyalty to the imperial family higher than loyalty to me?”
“We are talking about the laws we must abide by as human beings.”
Haha!”

Ruclid let out a terrible laugh.

“You bastard put the law on me. Isn’t it your specialty to train and torture with pleasure!”
“There is good in the conviction.”
“Dude, you lied to me. All that said about being loyal to me was a lie!”

The sound of the emperor grinding his teeth was clear.

“Sosin is always loyal to His Majesty. However, I believe that receiving an unacceptable order also comes from loyalty.”
“Khehehehe, damn you son of a bitch.”
The emperor giggled like his madman.

“Did you say that you can’t be empress and she can be Seria?”
“That’s right.”
“Then, kill Seria.”

If you refuse, they will try to fault you again.
In an instant, the spirit of life boiled over.
Couldn’t we kill the emperor right here?
However.
If I kill the Emperor now.
The aristocracy and the imperial faction will all point their swords at me.
Assassination of the Imperial Emperor.
Who will try to welcome you?
I suppressed my rising spirit and said.

“It is impossible.”
“Isn’t that what you’ve been doing well? But why? Did you suddenly have a strange sympathy? Is that so?”
“I don’t mean that. Just…”
“Just?”
“Isn’t it a waste of time to kill now?”
“What?”

Maybe it’s because I didn’t expect it?
The emperor looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“She is still a virgin. The most beautiful woman in the empire, have n’t you seen such a woman crying over the loss of her virginity?”
“…”

The emperor doesn’t know
That she and I had already passed through her bond several times.

“Ah…”

Greed flashed in his eyes.
She had the face of a child who had just found a forgotten toy.

The rising anger subsided.

“Or would you like to take it yourself?”

The emperor’s gaze turned to Seria.
Seria, who was standing behind me, just bowed her head in silence.

She said, “It was. I have no intention of taking anything out of character. Just watch that it is broken.”

The emperor refused, but his voice softened.
Excitement filled his expression his, which had been full of anger.
‘A man like this is the main character of a romance fantasy I’ve enjoyed watching.’
It was sad and painful.
However, hiding my true feelings was too easy with this body.

“Then would you like to see it?”
“I want you to give me a scene that will satisfy me.”
“Of course. Then move rooms.”

I took the Emperor and Seria and left the recovery room.

“New… Good.”

Cecilia’s voice calling for Leuclide behind her faded away.
