Chapter 79 – Chapter 79 Maurice’s Crisis, Emir’s Honest Feelings

“Magic, do you mean?”
“Okay. Aren’t you the best?”

The emperor’s eyes looked right at me.
Okay. This is the Ruclid I know.
A monstrous intuition beyond human.
It was one of the emperor’s numerous strengths.
I forgot about her perverted appearance of her and how she yearned for Seria’s assistant her.
Ruclid was the emperor of this empire.
It was just the change in my expressions and gestures that detected the abnormality.
Since it’s still heartbreaking, it must be magic to get physical evidence.

-Are you cheating? We just passed the capital city gate. We still need time to get out of the capital’s surveillance system.

I heard Emily’s communication.
Need time
It meant that he could not draw mana and use magic.
‘It’s difficult.’
I’m really in trouble.

“What magic do you want?”
“Anything is fine as long as you are good at it. I hope that everyone in this room will be happy.”

The emperor smiled evilly.

“You better not say you can’t. I hate that word.”
“All right.”
“Hoo? Is it?”

The emperor crossed his arms at my confident answer.
Was my answer surprising?
I’ll show you more unexpected scenes.

“As Your Majesty said, I’m not feeling well, so proper magic is difficult. Instead, we’ll show you some space-travel magic. It’s not flashy, but it will dazzle the eyes of everyone including His Majesty the Emperor.”

I looked around and asked.

“Does anyone have coins?”

The nobleman who mumbled for a moment raised his hand.

“Do you mind the gold coins?”
“Yes, it is fine.”

A nobleman came forward and offered me a gold coin the size of a finger.
A sparkling gold coin came into my hand his.
Right now I can’t use magic through mana.
I was thinking of showing magic through tricks.

“In the future, this coin will disappear, and it will come from someone else’s head.”
“It comes from your head?”
“Any coins in your hand?”

It was a world overflowing with mysterious magic, but it was a magic of high difficulty as much as space movement magic without using portals.
No wonder you are surprised by my declaration.
The emperor was calmly watching him.

I rolled up my sleeves and moved my fingers to make the coin disappear.

“Uh?”
“What?”
“Where have you been?”

Everyone in the seat looked at my hand in surprise, but of course there was no way.
The coin was already lying elsewhere.

While everyone opened their mouths in amazement, I pointed to the nobleman who had handed me the coin.

“Can I look over your head?”
“Above your head?”

At my words, the noble raised his head.
Jingle.

I heard the sound of gold coins falling on top of my head.

“Uh?”
“What did you just do?”

Everyone at the table was shocked to see the coin that was in my hand just before was placed on top of the nobleman’s head.
However, the emperor was surprised in a different way.

‘How did you do it?’

Clearly, the presence of mana was not felt.
However, Maurice did not appear to be up to any other trick.
No.
‘Is it because it’s so fast that I didn’t see it?’

I was not confident.
However, the presence of Mana was clearly not felt.
She had such a small amount that there was a chance she didn’t feel it.
She was then

“Everyone seems surprised, so let me show you a new spatial magic as well.”

I busied my mouth to pass the time as possible.

– It’s not long. Little bit more!

Emily’s urgent voice rang in my ears, and the emperor looked at me with suspicious eyes.

“No. It’s space magic. It’s disappointing because it’s a small-scale magic for a great mage.”

I’m not sure yet.
What condition am I in

“So you want magic on a grand scale.”
“Okay.”
“Then let me show you one more new magic.”
“A new magic?”
“What is there?”
“I’ll give you a present for Lady Solarion, the main character of this event.”

-Yet!

“You mean by magic?”
“Of course. Please prepare soil instead.”
“Did you hear? Let the soldiers bring soil.”

At the command of the emperor, the soldiers moved quickly.

“And I wish there were seeds of flowers.”
“Bring the surplus seeds with you!”

The soldiers moved in an instant, and flower beds, soil, and even seeds were placed in the middle of the party.
All of this was ready in less than 5 minutes.

– How are things now? I think I’ll be there in 10 minutes.

10 minutes.
I saw the emperor
He was glaring at me with the intent to kill me if I didn’t show his magic his right away.
It was impossible to take more time here.
‘I didn’t want to write this much.’

I pulled out the final card.
That’s right
Congenital keeper.
In the language of this world, it is life energy.
An innate aura that a person has at birth.
In other words, it converts life force into mana.

“Whoa.”
I planted the seeds one by one in the prepared flower bed.
And I sprinkled the life energy given to me on the flower bed.
It will look like I’m pouring mana into the flower beds to everyone here.
Let mana pour like rain on the flower bed for a moment.
The seed that had just been planted sprouted and grew in size in an instant, becoming a beautiful red bud.

“Oh oh.”

A sight that seems to reproduce the moment of birth and growth at high speed.
And exclamations erupted from the mouths of the nobles who saw the light coming from my body spraying such mana.

‘Whoa.’
I suppressed my boiling breath.
The sense of draining life force was fundamentally different from using mana.
The whole body was drained of strength, and the lethargy that made me want to sit down right away continued.
However, I did not stop pouring out my life force until the bud opened and turned into a beautiful rose.
It’s the last one.
If you pass this one time.
I, too, will get out of the framework of neutrality.

The rose that embracing my vitality was brighter and more beautiful than any other flower.

-It’s all out. You can turn it off now.

At the same time, a signal came from Emily.
All magic was canceled except for the blocking magic that hides Cecilia’s location information.
Mana, which had been draining quickly, came back into my arms.

– Wind cutter.
I picked off the flowers that had just grown with the blade of the wind in my hand.
I wove her thread with mana and gently wrapped the bunch of roses in case I was pricked by a thorn.

“Receive.”

I handed the rose bouquet to Emir.
Her eyes widened as if she had n’t expected that I would give her a rose.
She looked back and forth between the bunch of roses and me.
She was a beautiful and charming woman.
Even this surprised look was lovely.
She was a caring person.
She was very annoyed at the fact that she was going into the temple.
It wasn’t because she couldn’t get married.
To surrender oneself to God.
I was annoyed.
Trying to entrust your body to someone other than me.

But is that completely my feelings?
I couldn’t be sure.
So I kept my distance.
But when she thought of the emir being held in the arms of her god her, she could n’t stand it and looked for her in her temple her.
Even now, I don’t want to send Emir to the temple, so I handed her a bouquet.

But the problem is.
It means that soon I will be the head of the aristocratic faction.
Emir’s father, Duke Solarion, is of the imperial faction.
And those who attacked her were all aristocrats.
Will Emir be able to love me even when he knows that I am an aristocrat?
I looked down at her.

“This is a present for you. And I hope this won’t be your last gift.”

Clap clap clap

Everyone present clapped.

“If this is the case, will the two of you get back together?”

The eyes of the emperor looking at me returned to the way they were before.
Those suspicious eyes.
It was rewarding to pour life force into it.

“Now the woman entering the temple.”
“Because there were many times when I rejected the will of the temple and went back.”

When Duke Solarion said this in amazement, the Emperor retorted.

“What are your thoughts?”

Emir had no answer.
I didn’t answer either.

“Looks like the two of you need time to talk. Isn’t it? Duke Solarion.”
“That’s right. It seems that they are worried because they were once engaged to each other.”

The emperor, who was amused by the sight, spoke.
It was the momentum to somehow connect me and Emir.
It was the same with Duke Solarion.

Oh
Only then did I notice
This place is a place to celebrate overcoming the tricks of the aristocrats, and at the same time.
It was a place to connect me and Emir somehow.
In order to consummate the engagement.
I don’t know Emir’s will.
Solarion in order to get a powerful in-law and not send her daughter to the temple.
If the emperor enters, he wants to recruit me, who will become a powerful force for the emperor faction.
It was a place prepared for that reason.
‘I didn’t notice at all.’

Because I, too, had all my attention focused on Cecilia’s evacuation of her.

I was about to bow my head for refusal.
It was then.

“Let’s talk.”

Emir grabbed my hand tightly.

“What?”
“There is something I want to ask you.”
“…”

Satisfied smiles appeared on the faces of Duke Solarion and the Emperor.

“If you want. I get it.”

***

We walked through the gardens of Solarion Mansion.
A large maze that exists in a large garden.
And the fountain that exists above it.
Water droplets gushing from the fountain created a single rainbow.

Emir, who was sitting by the fountain, placed flowers and patted the seat for me to sit.

“Sit.”

It’s not my taste to refuse kindness, so I sat down next to Emir.

“What wind is blowing? Didn’t you make up your mind to go into Taoism?”
“It was.”
“She thought it was a place to let you go. But what kind of offer is this?”
“That’s right too. However.”
“However?”
“Because I was asked by my father.”
“Is that so? What brought you here?”
“There is something I want to check.”
“What is it?”
“Can I hold your hand for a moment?”

Emir’s face, who asked me, showed a certain determination.

“… I will.”

I held out my hand as if escorting the lady.
Emir put a pod in my hand and held it tight.

Thump thump.

Just holding her made my heart pound.
My body was already hotter at her proposal to hold hands for the first time.

“It still runs. Just by holding hands.”

She said her words softly as she wiggled her own hand clasped with mine.
The reason why you can feel the resignation in that voice is probably not just because of your mood.

“I thought I hated Maurice.”

The emir raised her head and looked at me.

“Why, she asked, enter the temple? Even with a great knight named Bartram.”
“It was.”
“I did it to forget Maurice.”
“You mean me?”
“Yes. Because I hated you. Because you always left me who loved you far away and didn’t come to you. Rather, it made me jealous of being with another woman.”
“…”
“So I tried to forget.”

Tears welled up in Emir’s eyes.

“Then why do you keep appearing in front of me?”

Oh, was that it?
The reason why she was not satisfied and she wanted to go to the temple even though she had a better teacher.
Because you haven’t forgotten me yet?
It was one of those possibilities.
After suffering from a terrible love affair, I vaguely thought that she would have forgotten her feelings for me.
But that wasn’t it

“Tell me please. Why do you keep making me regret it?”

The Emir’s eyes her, full of her tears, looked at me.
The reason why Emir has been harsh and distant has been simple.
If she puts her away from her.
She pretended to be indifferent, pretended nothing was wrong, because she thought that if I distanced her, she would fall away from her her me her.
Because I thought that if Emir gave up, this body of hers would eventually give up too.
It was to shake off her, no, my affection.

But.
It seemed that Emir’s love for Maurice was much greater and deeper than I thought.
To the point that I can’t forget her no matter what.

When I couldn’t answer, Emir continued impatiently.

“If you can’t tell me, please tell me why you hate me.”

After all, if the emir continues to hold her attachment her to me, my heart and body will also miss her.

“That’s why I hate you.”

Throbbing.

Heart.
My body.
He told me not to speak with all my might.
Don’t do that.
It sounded like a wild cry for her to shut up.

She was a beautiful woman, and she was someone you wouldn’t want to miss.
But.
As long as Emir was a member of Solarion, she could not relate to me.
She was unwilling to reveal it to the end.
But.

I also decided to be honest.
Because Emir was also honest with me.

“Because of politics.”
“Yes?”
“That’s why you and I can’t be together.”
“What do you mean?”
“You are well aware that the Empire is divided into two factions.”
“No way, are you serious?”

With just one word, she seemed to realize what choice I had made.

“Why did you tell me this?”
“You said it honestly, so I decided to be honest too. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Hide it and don’t say it, because only her emotions were consumed in flirting.
She thought it better to be honest.
If it’s Emir.
It was also because I was sure that if she it was the emir next to me now, she would n’t tell the emperor.

“Is it because of that? Just because the facts are different?”
“It’s a small thing to you, but a big thing to me. And don’t you know Who sent those who attacked you?”

Power entered Emir’s hand that held my hand.
I undid Emir’s pod and stood up.

“Now that you know, no more…”
“Do not go.’

Emir grabbed my sleeve.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked up at me.

“Please don’t leave my side.”

Throbbing.
Seeing the Emir’s tears made her heart beat unbearably.

“Didn’t I tell you? That I sent those who tried to catch you, that the maid you cherished died was my fault, and that I appeared in front of you pretending to be a savior.”

Emir bit her lip and looked up at me.

“Isn’t it right that he saved me in the end? When I was running away without doing anything, you saved me. It must be because he sincerely did not intend to kill me.”
“I killed your maid.”
“Did you kill yourself?”

I shook my head.

“Or did you order them to die?”
“I didn’t say it myself, but I made the overall framework.”
“That’s it. Since you didn’t order me to kill you yourself, the target of my revenge will be someone else.”
“Do you really think so? Really you…”

It’s the same.
You always like Maurice.
But in the end, the words never came out.

How can I break such a tough relationship?
My heart beat like crazy again.

“Give up.”
“Yes?”
“As long as Solarion and Dmitri can’t be together, it’s a relationship that can’t be achieved unless you or I give up our respective identities and positions.”

With difficulty, I shook off Emir’s hand and went out of the garden.
With a deep sigh, I sent a message to Count Ronald.

“Prepare. We will start now.”
