Chapter 99 – Chapter 99 the Civil War Begins

The emperor was annoyed.
I was angry.
Hadn’t he been fooled by that goddamn Maurice?
The captain of the guard went to the place he thought was the empress, but lost contact.
That’s probably
‘It must mean that she was beaten by Maurice.’

Hard!
She was beaten
In the current situation, even the most important talent has been lost.

– Aren’t you annoying?
-That guy believed you.

A voice rang in my head.

“He’s not a cheeky guy.”

-You are the owner of this empire. You can do whatever you want
-How long are you going to just watch him do whatever he wants?

The voice you hear in your head, not your ears.

-You didn’t like him anyway. Aren’t you annoyed by that mage who dares to betray you, the ruler of the empire, and build your own power?
“It’s annoying.”

The emperor spoke as if responding to the voice in his head.

-You want to kill Maurice as well as Seria and Cecilia. Those bastards who dare to challenge the emperor’s power.
“I want to kill you. He said he wanted to go and slit his throat right away.”
-Then kill me. Raise an army and visit his mansion.
– Let’s kill them all.
– It will be fun if the blood overflows here and there.
“Heh, heh. Right? Also.”

A maniacal laugh escaped the emperor’s mouth.

“Tell them to return all troops gathered in the provinces to the capital. And on the way back, tell them to burn all the aristocratic territories they find!”
“Your majesty!”

At the words of the emperor, the Minister of Justice opened his mouth.
He was Count Hoppal, who was famous for giving advice even within the Empire.

“Please take that name! Attacking the nobility of the empire with the soldiers of the empire. This is nonsense!”
“What?”
“Attacking the aristocratic aristocrats now will invite civil war once more! It’s only been a little over a year since the Civil War ended! Rebels are still seething in the provinces, so why are you going to wage war again!”
“So you can’t?”
“Please take my orders!”

Kneeling Earl Hoppal shouted, waving his white beard.
The emperor’s eyes burned red as he looked at him.

-You’re the one who dares to challenge the emperor. Kill

Do you reject my orders?
The Emperor of the Empire is the man who rules this continent.
How dare you disobey my orders!
If I do it I will do it
If you die, you must die!

“You’re scorning Jim.”
“Your majesty! This is not to be said! God will stop your will even in death.”
“Then die.”

Sereung.
The emperor drew his sword and stood up.
Count Hoppal did not straighten his bent knees and glared at the emperor on the spot.

“Do you really want to be a tyrant?”
“Tyrant? I will kill you to become a saint.”
“No emperor in the world has ever killed a subject with his own hands.”
“Then I will be the first.”

Kkeukkeuk.
The emperor heard his own laughter.

– Kill, kill. Kill! Kill!! Kill!!!

All who disobey my orders are my enemies.
I will kill all my enemies
My word is the law, and my will is the will of the empire.

Awesome!
The Emperor struck Count Hoppal in the neck.
The count’s head was blown off and he rolled on the floor.
Blood gushed from his severed neck his, fouling the battlefield.

“Now, is there anyone else?”

Silence fell over the battlefield.

– Look. You became quiet when you listened to me. You are the emperor No one can take over your authority.

Food.
It was satisfactory.
The situation now that no one can speak to himself.
It was the moment he realized that he was the emperor of an empire.

“Your majesty.”

It was Duke Solarion.

“Are you crazy about your daughter flirting with Maurice? How dare you vomit at the emperor’s words.”
“It’s not like that. But, why don’t you think about it a little?”
“What do you mean?”
“Maurice will move before the force gets here. If that happens, His Majesty may be defeated by Maurice.”
“What do you want to say?”
“Take hold of the nobles around her, not Maurice. Even the nobles won’t be able to resist if she’s caught with the right crime. Same goes for Maurice. She said if she moves.”
“What if it moves?”
“We should catch her for treason. The cause will be with us.”
“Hoo?”
“If you create a situation where Maurice Demitri has no choice but to move in a hurry, they too will be open.”
“Hehe, he’s a duke after all. Great.”
“It’s an overstatement.”

Duke Solarion lowered his head and closed his eyes tightly.
He was a wise emperor.
Originally, it would have been the strategy he thought of first.
No.
They must have waited for the right timing for the civil war in the first place.

‘Ah, how did you end up like this…’

As long as the emperor came out, he couldn’t turn back.
He makes maximum profit with minimum damage.
He felt as if he was riding on the dragon’s back.

***

“It was a big deal.”
“The Royal Guard is moving?”

Count Ronald bit his lip at my words.

“You’re right. But why aren’t you moving! If this happens, all the nobles in the capital will be arrested.”
“I guess. However, I cannot move.”
“Why?”
“Private wealth, bribery, and other crimes. Aren’t you holding on to what was going on as a custom until now as a crime?”
“That is, yes.”

Count Ronald shut his mouth.
He knew that the Emperor wasn’t just picking at random.
If I move here and stop the guards.
It was clear that the emperor would press me for treason.
Then, of course, the Ministry of Magic would also turn against me, which meant that the Emperor’s allies would increase.

‘It’s clever.’
That’s annoying
It must be Solarion’s idea.
There’s no way the emperor, who was in a strange state, would think about it.

“You’re thinking of cutting off my limbs.”
“Should I just be being treated like this?”
“You don’t have to.”

Even if counterattack is difficult.
Shouldn’t you struggle?

“I must go to the imperial palace.”
“Suicide! The wizard is the imperial palace! Duke Solarion will be waiting for you now.”
“Know.”
“Are you going to go then?”
“I will not go alone.”
“Then with whom?”
“I intend to go with Emir Solarion.”
“Shall we go together? Are you more trustworthy than that?”
“Of course.”

Among the swordsmen I will take with me, he is the most reliable and at the same time.
It was the only card that could stop Solarion.
It was as if the civil war had already begun.
Any card that can be used will be used.

I asked Ronald before leaving.

“If we win this civil war, what should we do with the emperor?”
“What answer do you want?”
“An honest answer. Speak from the point of view of the aristocrats of the empire, not the aristocrats leading the aristocratic faction.”

After thinking for a while, Count Ronald cautiously opened his mouth.

“I think dethrone is the answer.”
“I will walk the hard road.”

We all mean

***

Emir saw Bartram blocking his path his.

“Sir Bartram, what is this?”
“She has been ordered by the head of the family not to let the lady out of her mansion.”
“You mean your father said that?”
“That’s right. So please return to the mansion.”
“…”

Emir’s eyes sank coldly.
There was no way she did n’t know why her father stopped her.

“Is it because I’m going to the Dmitri family?”
“I will not deny it.”

Also.
That her father her, who had n’t stopped her from going so far, would n’t stop either.
‘Civil war.’

This means that a full-scale civil war is about to begin.
Although it seems like she’s trying to stop her from getting caught by Maurice.
She wasn’t going to stop here.

“Get out of the way right now. I want to go.”
“I know you won’t listen. But not today.”

Sereung.
Bartram drew his sword.

“Solarion is a family that speaks with swords. Defeat me if you want to pass this place.”
“Pull your sword at Solarion. Do you know what this means?”
“I have received permission from the head of the family. And Agassi will not get hurt.”

Bartram was confident.
As far as he knows.
You’ll be able to overcome it alone enough.

“Then draw your sword.”
“Like. Have no regrets.”
“That won’t happen.”

Sereung.
Emir also drew his sword.

Whoops.
Emir raised his sword first.
A pink sword flowed from the tip of her sword.
Is it pink black?
It was the kind of color I had never seen before.

“You are serious.”
“Sure. If you’re going to do it once, do it right.”
“All right.”

Bartram also drew a sword technique.
A blue sword wrapped around his sword.

He stances and fends off the Emir’s attack.
Kang!

Sword and sword collided and sparks flew.
Intense energy collided with each other.
‘He has grown up.’
I realized the moment the swords first met.
The density of the sword became much thicker than before.

But this.
I felt strangely strange.
‘What is this?’
It was a change unknown to Bartram.

He had been through it sometime.
A time when blood was overflowing in the past.
The time when he disguised himself as a mercenary and wandered around the continent in order to broaden his knowledge.
It was the feeling he felt when he forgot the customs of a knight and was active freely.
When he was seduced by a beautiful woman.
A heart that was beating wildly.
His mouth was dry and his hands were sweating.
The feeling of that time when I didn’t know what to do.
I felt it now that I had pulled out the sword.
‘What is this?’

The energy was strong enough to control the emotions of Bartram, the Sword Master.
He saw Emir.
It was definitely her energy that emanated from her.
His eyes his turned to Emir’s sword, which glowed pink.

That’s it.
What kind of abnormality is that swordsman causing?
It was a peculiar skill.
It must have been Maurice Dmitri’s work.
She was Bartram, who had passed on thinking that if it was Maurice, she would be a good teacher.
But what a peculiar skill!

But more than that.
Her swordsmanship her.

It is true that it has become stronger.
It was too soft and flowing to be called Solarion.
Could this be considered Solarion’s?
I shook my head.

“What did you learn from Maurice Dmitri?”
“It’s swordsmanship.”
“You’ve gotten stronger, but your energy isn’t good.”
“Are you talking about this sword skill?”

Pinkish black.

“That’s right. I can’t let you learn such uncanny skills.”
“Don’t you think that’s why I’m fighting Sir Bartram on equal terms?”
“My lady is strong. But there is something wrong with you.”

Bartram raised his flag.

“I didn’t even start right.”

The sword master’s momentum emanated from his entire body.
Because he thought that if he used his strength properly, Emir would give up quickly.
Attacked with power

“It is what I wished for.”

But Emir was not pushed back either.
If it wasn’t for the Master, it wouldn’t be strange if the sword broke right away.
But what is this?

She continued to hold out against Bartram.
Although Bartram said he was reducing the weeds as much as possible, he was a sword master.
‘Did he grow up like this already?’

It’s been less than a month since I learned from Maurice.
And there.
‘Damn it.’
The more the swords collided, the more the lower part kept burning.
It was difficult to withstand the pressure that had reached its limit.
It was because of that strange aura from Emir’s sword.

“Turn it off!”

That fleeting moment when Bartram devoted himself to enduring the unknown sensation.
A very brief moment of inattention.
Emir’s sword did not miss that gap.

“I won.”

Her sword was about to touch Bartram’s throat.

“Keugh… Lost.”

I had no choice but to admit it.
It was said that it was because of an unknown energy, but it was an undeniable fact that he lost his mind during the fight.

“Then I’ll pass.”

Retracting her sword her, Emir calmly stepped out the door.

Fluff.
“Huh.”

Bartram sat down on the floor, feeling his heart his pounding madly.
My weak legs his trembled.
Although she tried to get up again. There was no power at all.

Miss.
‘What kind of skill did you learn?’

He looked at Emir’s back as he receded.
