Chapter 531 – [Blood Debut Ceremony]

Certainly, the emperor was the father of the current life. Even as he slowly entered old age, his outward resemblance to his father, who could certainly be called his father, was an undisputed opponent.

Then he entered the ballroom with the empress. Thinking about it, looking at the blond hair and similar appearances of all the siblings, it was clear that no matter how much she had no biological children besides the crown prince, no children resembled her mother’s side.

What is it, the emperor’s factor is just a dominant factor?

Oh, of course, a dominant factor is not superior, and a recessive factor is not inferior, but it can’t be helped that the dominant factor is expressed first.

“Mother”

“Majesty?!”

“Ah, forget about that moment.”

There are no expectations, no talk of anything else. After all, he is nothing more than an emperor who will later abdicate.

But the problem is that he is the current emperor. Hmm… No matter how much the president is nearing the end of his term, is the president similar to being the president? Can’t be hasty

The problem is the empress. She looked at me and smiled faintly.

However, that smile is nothing more than a service smile. The actual emotion was the opposite of a smile.

“Are you here, Your Majesty?”

And the appearance is that of an old man, but looking at his physical age, he is rather in his prime. The density of imagination that flows softly even without using the senses shows that he is not a simple person.

I haven’t talked about it yet, but I think I know roughly who he is. One of the current continental ten powers and the empress’s grandfather, Duke Magnus.

Hmmm…… He seems to have some skills, but he’s weaker than I thought. But what matters is self-reflection. If you look at something like Yu-Gi-Oh, you’re more afraid of monsters with 0 ATK that are fucking special effects than monsters with 5000 Gong Gong.

There is only one Continental Ten River that I have yet met, so I can’t evaluate it, but anyway, it reveals a pretty upright soldier-like impression.

The emperor couple and Duke Magnus, who had been talking about something, eventually split up again and went about their business. A place like this isn’t suitable for a long conversation, and you just need to show off your friendship.

Next, the emperor and empress lightly danced one song… And soon approached us.

“Are you enjoying the party?”

“Don’t worry, father. I’ve been talking about this and that with the brothers who have all gathered for the first time in a while.”

“Hmm”

The Emperor looked around us.

It looks strange in those eyes. And when I sensed the power of fantasy flowing from the emperor’s body, I made one judgment.

The emperor is a dreamer.

Of course, I don’t know if he became emperor because he had that kind of ability, but he still has a unique feeling of self-fantasy. In other words, the emperor is still expressing self-fantasy.

It is said that there are many forms of self-fantasy, but the emperor’s self-fantasy seems to be a technical self-fantasy that affects himself. It’s not a combat type, and it feels like it’s not even expressed outside.

The eyes that looked around the brothers turned to me for the last time.

“You’re the worst”

“Yes, Your Majesty”

I deliberately called you your majesty, not father.

Even the crown prince, when he was with me, was called His Majesty, but in a place like this, I called him Father. I openly called him His Majesty.

It tells you that there is a wall between them. And the emperor quickly realized that he knew it and took a step back.

Isn’t it too much for the father I met for the first time? First of all, wasn’t Abbie disqualified at the point when words like ‘You’re the worst’ came out of the mouth of a father? It’s almost a nuance of asking ‘were you my son?’

FYI, I don’t have high expectations from the emperor. As a child, he has no feelings for his father, and the only thing he is angry with is judging the ruler of a country as the great demon king who presides over society.

That’s why the emperor doesn’t call the emperor the emperor’s father, despite the prince’s elder brother, the first princess’s sister, and blood relatives who call themselves brothers.

“Congratulations on your socialite debut. You worked hard even though you were still young.”

“You’re overrated.”

“And you’re in the restaurant business? I’ve heard of it. I haven’t been there yet…”

“If you give me a message, I will reserve a place for you.”

The restaurant visited by the emperor! If you advertise, the advertising effect will come. Even if you treat it for free for a day, it’s enough to make a profit.

I don’t know as a father, but as a signboard, I’ll use it!!!

“I’ll make a separate schedule later and let you know.”

“All right”

The conversation ended with that. Neither I nor he were deeply interested in each other.

No, I faintly read something else in the emperor’s eyes. The reason he wants to visit my restaurant is not a rumor or something like that, but it seems to be a necessity to visit and experience it as a social place that is emerging these days.

It’s not like that because it’s a restaurant run by a child. He is monotonous and mechanical.

It’s like he doesn’t know anything other than how to work and breathe as an emperor. What kind of spongebob

“Are you all right, Your Highness?”

“No problem at all”

“However……”

Lady Bistra asked anxiously if she noticed the rift between me and the emperor.

She’s innocent, but she’s not stupid, so she has that level of awareness. But for her, knowing and asking while knowing are two different things. It means that she has a heart that truly cares.

Ordinary aristocratic ladies don’t worry about trying to take advantage of such things.

“The prom will be over soon.

“You’ve worked hard, Your Highness. Even so, it’s difficult to make a social debut at the age of 8…”

“I suffered a little bit.”

It’s obvious, even if you don’t see who’s to blame.

I gave the empress a glance. She was away from the emperor and chatting with madams from other noble families.

It’s like watching one of the factions. In reality, the families of the aristocratic wives around her are aristocratic families that support the crown prince. I don’t know all of them, but I know some because I remember their faces.

“Still, it’s nice that you fed me a dick.”

“… Just like before, did you know how to use such words?!”

“I think the same goes for the young lady at the point of understanding that.”

As Yeongji is Yeongji, there will be nothing you can do about it. If you live in a territory close to battle and death, there will be only guys like that, and in that case, there will be things to see and hear.

But I like that one If I had to marry at least for convenience, I might choose the Lady of Beastra.

What? Don’t you hate marriage without love? That’s the story of being born as a commoner 1, it’s a responsibility and duty that can’t be helped if you’re born into an imperial family.

In particular, as long as I am living on the people’s tax and sitting in a position where I can wield more power than I imagined, even if it is not my intention, I cannot abandon it and ignore it. Aristocrats, like nobles, should practice noblesse oblige if they were born into the imperial family.

Arranged marriage is also a branch there. If you were born in this position in the first place, you would enjoy as much, but you have less freedom.

“I’m coming to see Her Highness for a moment. It would be a little rude to leave my partner alone…”

“Oh, don’t worry about me. I’m used to being alone at a party.”

“……I’ll be back as soon as possible”

It’s so innocent that it’s scary to just say such a thing. Originally untainted innocence is bound to overcome good and evil.

Anyway, I passed between noble wives to have a conversation with the empress.

“Excuse me for a moment, madam”

“Oh, His Highness, the 3rd Prince!”

“I’d like to have a chat with Her Highness. Would you mind giving up your seat for a moment?”

“Yes, of course. Excuse me.”

He took a concession from the aristocratic wife who was conversing with the empress according to the etiquette she had learned through FM, and stood facing the empress.

Emotions pass from her eyes. Hmmm… A little angry? No, that’s not it It’s a bit more ugly and disgusting feeling.

Yes, you’re jealous

It was too late to notice because it was a feeling that was difficult to feel normally. Usually, when I cosplay as an ordinary person and show my strength, I get fear or awe, so I rarely get jealous.

Jealousy is also an emotion that can only be satisfied in the end with a certain amount of common sense.

“I think the story will be long, and there are many ears to listen to. Shall we take a seat for a while?”

“As you like”

Empress Grabell and I headed to the terrace of the party. The terrace, which is an indispensable background in this place, catches the eye of the capital below.

Although the development of technology is still lacking, it is bright enough to see the night view even at night. At least on the main roads, there were things like streetlights to illuminate them.

“Seven years old… No, eight years old now?”

“Yes that’s right”

“My child made his debut when he was 10 years old. However, he was lacking a bit… In fact, etiquette and manners are things that even nobles receive over several years. Sometimes there are manners that even grown-up nobles don’t know about. There is”

Actually, it’s a natural story. No matter how genius you are, the etiquette of nobles is something that has been accumulated over hundreds of years, and it is difficult to learn it in just one or two years. Especially if you have other education.

I also had a hard time with that in the first round of reincarnation… If I didn’t have basic knowledge, it would have been impossible to learn it in a few months.

“But you’ve mastered it perfectly and made your social debut. It’s more than just a mastery of manners, it’s a testament to your abilities.”

“…That said, I don’t think the existing positions announced will change.”

“Isn’t it the people around you who judge that?”

The empress is worried that I will create a new faction.

Currently, the faction fight has three heads, so any royal family, whether emperor, aristocratic, or neutral, is lined up.

I don’t know about the 2nd prince, but the 1st princess is a big stumbling block. Because she is a woman, she is said to be a bit behind, but she has a lot of influence over her. If he had been born as a male, it would have been a fight between the crown prince and the first princess, with no room for the second prince to intervene.

Even a small naga faction is a threat to the crown prince. It would be obvious if I, who was openly close with Princess 1, would show which side I would support.

“It took a lot of work to get to this position, but after that child was born, he decided to live for one thing. He would do anything for that child.”

“………”

No, that sounds like a goura.

I don’t know if you’re aware of it or not, but at least one part is wrong. The part that says ‘if it’s for that child’.

“And a person with abilities like you becomes a stumbling block to that one goal.”

“I am not interested in the position of emperor”

“No one knows what a person’s heart is. And sometimes situations and reality make it that way.”

“You have a lot of doubts.”

“If it’s a woman living in the imperial family, wouldn’t she be natural?”

To me, gathering her forces is nothing more than a means for her survival, but to her, it seems that she is only seen as a latecomer in her fight for the throne.

Can not help it. Suspicious people do not easily trust others. Especially if the situation and status are like that.

“I have no intention of being hostile to the crown prince, but I also have no intention of supporting him. In the end, it will depend on what you do.”

My attitude depends on your actions. I’m a very safe person if I don’t touch it. He has no greed and keeps his line.

“You mean you might be hostile?”

“Why do you hear that?”

Humans only hear what they want to hear. In this case, I have a lot of doubts, so I can’t hear the truth.

Let’s leave this woman alone who doesn’t understand her, and go back to the ballroom. I’ll be sure to retaliate for putting me on a tight schedule for months before that.

“Anyway, thanks to you, I made my social debut very well. Thanks to Her Highness, I had a good time meeting and talking with nobles who were interested in me. Thank you for that.”

“…….”

There was a slight rage in her eyes. What she did with the intention of screwing me up for showing her superior abilities (in the sense of the end result) than the crown prince, she came to the point of benefiting from this side. Nothing ever went according to her plan.

What I said sounds like a thank you, but it’s sarcasm. And she, of course, had enough to notice that.

But she eventually hid her feelings and smiled faintly, she told me. There seemed to be a blade hidden in her smile.

“This is the imperial palace. A place where those who have the ability and those who have things that are not within their means can only stand out and do not know what will happen to them.”

“Is that so”

“Yes, and…”

Soon she guessed what she said, but it was a very unpleasant word that turned her guess into certainty.

If I hadn’t listened to her, if I hadn’t told her, she crossed the line with what I could have passed on only with heartache.

“It wouldn’t be strange for such a person to pass away for an appropriate reason, such as after childbirth.”

Now.

Are you saying you killed your mother in front of your children, you motherfucker?

Suddenly, I felt as if something was disconnected in my head. It felt like something important was disconnecting from me.

Ah, that was my patience.
