Chapter 534 – [Blood Debut Ceremony]
My feelings for the crown prince are good feelings. Since he was the empress’s natural child, he had no ill feelings at all, and if you look at him objectively, he felt like a good emperor and a good brother.
However, that emotion also fluctuates. No matter how much the bitch who killed my mother was the crown prince’s mother, it might have been natural to stop it, but this was something I couldn’t concede to.
If it blocks it, clear it. Whoever wants to be emperor will be glad that his greatest rival is gone.
“Ah, Crown Prince, my child… Please save this mother! Save me from this rude man!!!”
“………”
Oh, no.
I recognized the prince’s feelings in the gaze of the prince who was silently looking down at the empress. His eyes were extremely cold and cold. He was at least not the way he looked at his mother.
It seems unlikely that this case will happen. I let go of the hand I clenched into a fist.
Soon after, the prince approached the empress and asked. No, it was more like a reprimand than a question.
“So why did you do that, Mother?”
“No! All of this is nothing more than the coercion of that evil thing! Trust this mother!”
“Do you think that excuse will still work?”
“Even the crown prince doesn’t trust this mother!”
“That’s because there is clear evidence. I’ve already secured a letter from my mother ordering the assassination and a middle manager. It will be clear evidence, so I won’t be able to gamble.”
“………!!!!”
Certainly, one of the sounds I would hear afterwards was that the empress was killed by force. In the end, even if she said yes out of her mouth, I am the only witness, and at best, I have only my heart.
However, if the crown prince has physical evidence, the story is over. A clear justification is given to my actions, and dethroning would be the best option for her.
In a place like this, justification is important. If you’re like me, you’re justified and you can stir things up, but it’s hard to cover the work after that. But if that justification is fulfilled…!!
“This has happened three times. There is no doubt that no one would question it, and there would be no one who would not investigate it. “At least I seem to have escaped from my mother’s watch.”
“Crown Prince…!!!”
“I was waiting for the right time, but I didn’t know it would come like this.”
The empress glared at her prince with her ferocious eyes. It was also not her mother’s eyes to see her children.
And what I feel there is a deep sense of betrayal. However, only contempt and pathetic feelings could be felt in the prince’s attitude towards it.
“It was all for the crown prince! It was to solidify the position of the crown prince!”
“If I did, I shouldn’t have done that. At least I’ve made my biggest rival.”
That, of course, refers to the older sister of the first princess. She doesn’t care about the second prince.
Hagisa No matter how heroine it was, it would not have been an easy decision to participate in the battle for the throne where she could die. Here the secret is revealed.
“And what her mother wants is not me who became the emperor, but herself who became the mother of the emperor?”
Yeah, that was it
The lie I felt when talking with the empress on the terrace was this.
She said it was for her crown prince, but in the end she was nothing more than a means to gain power for herself. With the body of an empress, it is impossible for her to become a female emperor like Cheukcheonmu, but if she puts the crown prince first and becomes the emperor’s mother, she will gain power beyond imagination.
Yes, the empress was the embodiment of the lust for power. That is why she assassinated the other empresses who would share the emperor’s favor (power) as her rivals.
She did it in the name of being for her crown prince. They say that power blinds people.
The prince turned her gaze to me. She looked at me with eyes that were partly apologetic, she said.
“Yes, I don’t understand her pain and her pain, but at least I think her punishment for her should not end with her execution. Because there must be a more worthy punishment than this.”
“Then, brother-sama, maybe you think it’s good?”
“If someone who crosses the line while greedy for power, wouldn’t it be better to take that power away and let her live her whole life with nothing? It will be”
“It means to give you a taste of living hell.”
“Of course I respect your choice. It’s my mother, but the victim is your mother. The most important thing is your choice, so don’t leave it up to you.”
There was truth in the prince’s words.
There are times in the world where just being alive is painful. I can imagine what the pain would be like if she went from being one of the most powerful people in her empire as the empress to being deposed in the back room where she couldn’t do anything.
Power is like a drug. Something addictive that ruins you but you can’t quit. However, unlike regular drugs, it is impossible to quit and undergo rehabilitation training.
The pain of an addict who quits drugs for the rest of his life until he dies… Hmm, this is a very tempting option.
Physical pain isn’t the only pain. Personally, I felt the need to accept the prince’s opinion this time.
It’s undeniable that liking for the crown prince was one of the reasons for that choice, but considering that at least the empress’s life and end would not be so good, it’s worth trying.
At least I’ll live longer than that bitch, so whether I become a disabled person or commit suicide, I can see it through to the end!!!
“Well, that’s good. Brother’s opinion isn’t wrong either, so I’ll give it to you this time.”
“Thank you”
In this place, my permission, which is heavier than the emperor’s, was given.
Soon after, the prince gave an order to the knights. It was to arrest the empress and settle this situation.
“Arrest her empress! Afterwards, we will put together her evidence, go through her proper procedures, and punish her !!!”
“Yes!!!!”
A few knights rushed in. Judging from the fact that they had no hesitation, they seemed to be the prince’s henchmen. His skills were also excellent and he seemed to have a military discipline.
As she was dragged away by such knights, the empress screamed with an ugly fervor.
“I can’t let go of this!!!! Who are you dare to lay your hands on!!! I am the woman who will become the mother of the emperor of this country!!! Crown Prince! Crown Prince!!!! How can I protect this mother? Are you betraying me! Aaaaa!!!!!
There was nothing to look forward to when the power-mad people were destroyed.
Ugly ugly However, if the dead mother of this life sees that scene, she will be quite happy.
Anyway, with this, the matter for the empress was finished.
“Ah, writing, how do I clean up now?”
When the work was over, all I remembered was the aftermath.
After her head cools down, there are mountains of problems that will come later.
* * *
What should I say, nobles are creatures sensitive to gain.
The reason why they cling to the crown prince’s older brother, 1st princess sister, 2nd prince, etc. Is not loyalty, but most of them are aiming for the beans that will fall when they become emperors later. At least I won’t give up public confidence.
However, there is one very tasty benefit here.
He has more than the average strength of the continental 10 rivers, no other mates, no fiancé, and his young age, so he has excellent growth potential.
It must be strange that I was suddenly Special Summoned onto the board, but no transformation took place.
“Your Highness, more than 50 people came to request an audience today. This is…”
“I reject anyone who is not familiar with me.”
“All right”
The Emerald Palace is busy dealing with what I’ve done. Since I am also a member of the royal family, I have to make an appointment to meet, but even if the representative comes, I have to set up a drawing room to treat him.
But honestly, it’s difficult to deal with dozens of people at once. Serving tea and serving refreshments is also a job.
“Oh, and there must be some things I’m trying to gather about me, so I’ll sell them to the attendants and ladies-in-waiting for a moderate amount of money.”
“Yes?!”
“Information is supposed to leak out anyway. And if it’s important information, it won’t be passed on to them. Considering the guys who will come out violently for not being able to get information, it’s better to see personal gain.”
“For now… I’ll tell you that.”
“Please, Nanny”
If the gate is closed, break the gate or climb over the wall to enter the castle.
However, if the gate is open, there is a way to enter the gate. That’s how to keep the safety of the attendants and maids-in-waiting. Of course, money is a bonus.
If your salary is low, you should at least have a tip, right?
“Your Highness”
“It’s a lot of trouble. Is the restaurant okay?”
“………”
“Oh sorry”
Traces of fatigue, such as dark circles, could be seen in Leticia’s eyes. It seems that he stayed up all night.
“It was the first time I knew that Your Highness was strong enough to easily defeat one of the Ten Continental Powers.”
“Because it’s not that important”
“Isn’t that kind of power important?”
“Even if I have this kind of power, I have a hard time taking care of the people around me.”
One person can do anything, but if the number increases, it can’t be helped. I’m also a human being, so I can’t keep track of my people and monitor and protect them by putting them within the range of my senses. There is also the issue of invasion of privacy.
In any case, the aftermath of what I had done spread to nobles overnight and became known to businesses and people around me. Maybe in a few days, no one will know.
“I’ll have to take care of myself for a while. Until the emperor calls, I’ll have to go to Bangkok.”
“For some reason, Her Highness’s personality… No, her appearance seems to have changed a little too.”
“This is my original personality”
After working hard and coming back, I looked in the mirror and saw that my eyes were slightly dirty. It’s been a while since I’ve used my strength, so my soul as a transcendent has an effect on my body.
It eventually changes over time, but it will change faster if you use force. Just like right now.
“But isn’t it good news for you as well? If you sort out this situation, you’ll become a commoner with one of the 10 continental powers behind you, so even a decent amount of nobles won’t be able to ignore it?”
“……Ah!”
“If you have a good head but haven’t thought that far, then I wonder if intelligence and wisdom are different.”
“I was so busy that I didn’t think about it, Your Highness.”
And Leticia sneakily asked me about my secret.
It’s not like digging for information or anything like that. It was simple curiosity, curiosity to know more about the other person.
“By the way, I think there must be a reason for Your Highness to have power beyond common sense at his age. May I ask what that is?”
“Umm, I’ll tell you later. If I tell you now, it might put you in danger.”
“All right”
“It may be dangerous because you are already close to me, but knowing information and not knowing it are different.
“I’m not telling you not to talk, I’m not saying you’re telling me, why the time?”
“That’s how I find the kidnappers and save George and you.”
“I’m looking forward to saving you.”
I’m currently a hot potato. As reported by the nanny, there are over 50 agents who have come to apply for an audience, but most of them are nobles who have not yet come to investigate.
But I have no intention of meeting you. Don’t you think it’s too revealing that guys who weren’t interested in me from the beginning are interested in me now?
So, the only people I meet are people I’ve known before. Even so, it’s only about enough to count on one hand.
“Your Highness, the Lady of Count Bistra is visiting. What should we do?”
“Ah, let me in. I’ll serve you some refreshments and tea.”
“All right”
What kind of expression would Lady Beastra make? It wouldn’t be a very good expression if you knew that a person whose name was only a prince was a talented player who defeated the continental 10, and had a disproportionate personality.
This time, I wonder if he just came to check it out…Or maybe someone instigated it.
“Ah, Your Highness!”
Contrary to my expectations, however, Lady Beastra came running with a wide smile.
It wasn’t smoke. The distance she stopped between each other was not a simple friendship level, but a lovers level distance.
“I worried a lot all night! You handled it a little violently, but still… Your Highness is very strong! As expected, my hunch wasn’t wrong!”
“Please calm down, Lady Beastra”
“Please call me Luminous.”
“Yes?”
No, the progress is suddenly going out?
First of all, the relationship between me and Lady Beastra is friendly. Although he debuted in the social world as a partner, it was only out of necessity and there was no deep emotion like affection.
But it’s strange to be able to call each other by name overnight. The emotion in her eyes isn’t even close to desire.
“Hasn’t something become more active?”
“I’ve had an ideal of wanting to get married for a long time. But it was so absurd that I gave up on it halfway.”
“……What is that?”
“He’s a stronger man than my father.”
A person called the Continental Ten River would be at least middle-aged or older, but it was actually difficult to marry such a person. You can go, but the house will oppose it, and you won’t be able to go to the courtroom.
However, the me who has fallen so far is rather young, let alone older. And he proved his skills by overwhelmingly defeating one of the ten continental rivers. Above all, she is still single.
What she embraced in me is the feeling of fresh first love, a girl’s unique dream.
……Ah, this is kind of annoying to treat.
