Chapter 539 – [Blood Debut Ceremony]

Marx said: He said, ‘Religion is the opiate of the people’.

It’s a pretty negative word, but it doesn’t mean that it actually persecutes religion. Even if you look at it negatively, it is close to the original meaning of not persecuting.

The ultimate goal of religion is to lean on God and receive salvation when human beings fall behind in reality and suffer. Because humans are weak, they want to overcome reality by relying on absolute beings.

The reason religion is compared to an opium rather than a pain reliever is because the more one believes in religion, the less progress there is. There is no such thing as progress in a society that relies only on God. Just praising and praying to God and living by receiving grace from such a God… I have no choice but to live a life like breeding.

So personally, I don’t like religion. I’ve seen a lot of religious people gossip about it, so there’s something like that, and there was a time when I had to change everything because one episode in the past was swarmed with something like a witch hunt.

It is very ugly to confuse God’s will with your own will and justify it. It’s even more because there’s no awareness that you’re wrong.

I’ve seen a lot of these guys by hitting them with all the adjectives such as a lot, a lot, a lot, inexhaustible, a lot, a lot, a lot, and so on.

There are many proper religions, but there are few proper religious people. But in this case…

“It’s as the nanny said. The prophecy must be true. I can’t tell you what I’m hiding yet, but depending on what you say, I can be the savior or destroyer of this continent.”

“Then……”

“But if there’s one thing I’ve misunderstood, it’s the matter of guidance and edification. To an already-completed being, that doesn’t mean anything. The important thing is only the attitude from now on.”

If a baby born with the Sazoseong character grows up to become a savior or a destroyer, guidance and edification will work, but I am a reincarnated person. From the moment you have already established your values, it has no meaning.

The important thing is the attitude of this world to treat me in the future. If you are hostile, you will behave as you are hostile, and if you are welcoming, do as you welcome.

“It’s a natural story. This time, I showed my power and abandoned the empress. The poor”

“That’s… That’s right”

“My values ​​are always human standards. And I still like it. So, now as a savior, okay?”

“……..Yes”

The nanny seemed to understand that, and her face became much lighter.

This story will be told and passed on to the Pope of the Gray Crusade. If my values ​​are human, at least I won’t approach it hastily.

“Tell me it’s better not to touch me. And since the Gray Temple is a good religion, tell me personally that I like it.”

“Yes, I understand”

“Goodbye for today. If you have another story, let’s do it tomorrow.”

“Yes, have a good night’s sleep, Your Highness”

Once the story is over here.

There is one benefit to this story. That the gods of this world, among them the gray gods, are aware of my existence and keep an eye on it.

Of course, I’m not currently under surveillance. If it had, my gut would have noticed it. When the absolute of fate is important, there are times when I lose my senses to cloud my judgment, but other transcendental beings or gods cannot do that. At least among the transcendental beings less than Lord, there is no existence that can deceive my senses.

“Be on your guard… Well, that’s rather good.”

I saw many gods.

A good god, a bad god, an arrogant god, a humble god, a goddess, a male god, a passionate god, a cold-hearted god… Each god has a different personality and different divinities, but at least these are categories that are difficult to understand based on human values. .

At least, even a god like God-Ruri-Ruri ‘allows incest and homosexuality as long as there is love!’ It’s a board that shouts, but it’s shocking.

A God who conforms to human values, respects humanity, and is not arrogant. Such a god is really rare.

Considering that among the gods I killed, there were a lot of people who said, ‘Only humans!’

Ah, the phantom cub caught 10,000 dragons and accumulated a feat. When will I get 10,000 new kills? Even if I reincarnate in the polytheistic dimension, it will take quite a while.

“I don’t know what you want, but let’s leave it for now.”

However, if there is a problem, it is the white and black gods.

I’m not the kind of guy who just has a prejudice about color, but somehow it feels a bit harsh.

*        *    *

My attitude towards the nanny did not change even though she confided in her oracle and other stories.

Even if I approached it with a purpose, it is rather with good intentions and sincerity, so I have no intention of saying anything. Rather, it was because it was good.

Just a little guilty. I spent years trying to educate him to be kind, but he became the Great Demon King in an instant… I’m a bit sorry for wasting all my efforts.

Anyway, this schedule is to attend a small party held by the prince. 1 While the princess’ sister allows her to visit, she shows that she supports both by showing that she is close enough to attend her party with the prince’s older brother.

Oh, except for the second prince, of course.

“My, His Highness, the third prince of Worst Von Frontier, the star of the Empire, is eating it!!!!”

The voice of the chief chamberlain trembles as he shouts before entering the party hall. The appearance of a knight must be a natural fear of a 10-year-old boy who defeated the continent and dethroned the empress.

Upon entering, unlike the last ball, the party hall was quite small and caught my eye. At most, dozens of people are talking. They were mainly people from the faction of the crown prince.

….That’s probably why the ratio of women, especially noble ladies, is high, huh.

“Ah! Welcome!”

“Have you been well, brother?”

“I’ve been tossing and turning in bed, but well, it’s okay. Thank you for worrying about me.”

No matter how attached he was, the empress was his mother. Dethroning her by her own hands was not so reluctant.

But it was a testament to his determination. Her determination was enough to dethrone even her own mother if need be.

And this party was a show-off party to show off their friendship with me and to show that they are fine even after going through such things. When I think about this, I feel like the bread I ate yesterday will be on top of it.

As expected, things related to aristocracy don’t suit me.

“His Highness the 3rd Prince and the Crown Prince are like that…”

“You said that you are close with Her Highness, the 1st Princess, so who do you support?”

“They say they are refusing visits or party invitations from His Highness the 2nd Prince, but looking at that, it seems that His Highness and the 2nd Prince aren’t on good terms.”

“I’ll have to take a step back from the line against that faction.”

I can hear the stories of nobles talking about this and that. Of course, it’s whispering, but it sounds good to me.

This time I came without a partner. Not only could her Luminous not be a nuisance to her, but it was clear that if she brought her to such a place, she would be treated as her fiancé on the premise of marriage.

“I see you’ve finished talking to His Majesty. I wonder if you did well… Would it be rude to ask?”

“Well, I was guaranteed a certain amount of freedom. No arranged marriages, limited activities when mobilized for war. Well, something like that.”

“Rejection of arranged marriage? Ho-oh, do you dream of an escape-like romance with a princess from a neighboring country?”

“Did I turn?”

“Doesn’t it make you have reasonable doubts about what you did last time?”

“Oh, is that sohaha!”

The prince and I laughed coolly at each other. His demeanor was slightly more cautious than before, but it didn’t change much. It is proof that he still sees me as his younger brother despite the power of the Continental Ten Rivers.

It shows his distribution. The pride that he will become emperor even if he doesn’t cling to my support.

“I didn’t know if he was interested in women, so I first invited young ladies of a similar age from my faction to attend. How is it?”

“Aren’t you trying too hard? To be honest, it’s a burden.”

“Did you prefer something like the Lady of Beastra?”

“My preference is to be satisfied with at least one of the characteristics such as blonde hair, small breasts, and an eye patch.”

“…I won’t ask why there is such a firm yet firm and strange taste. Everyone has at least one secret or taste like that.”

Ah, I just answered that reflexively, so I stop without realizing it. But it’s okay because it’s true!

Anyway, after the conversation, we enjoy the party in earnest. It’s okay to go back like this, but then the crown prince’s older brother would lose face.

Enjoying a party is also a matter of friendship. If I go back after doing my own errands, it’s like announcing that I only have that level of friendship… I should dance a few times if possible.

“My name is Corina von Ordo, from the Viscount Ordo. If you don’t mind, may I request a dance, Your Highness, the 3rd Prince?”

There are numerous aristocratic ladies who have come here not for looks or power, but for strength. As soon as the conversation between me and the prince’s older brother was over, the noble ladies who were already at the party came and requested a dance.

Even those who had dance partners quickly dug up their seats. That makes their purpose clear.

But well… If you refuse to dance at a party, the only thing left to do is to pass the time and talk while eating simple finger food, and besides, if you talk here, it’s better to dance because there will be faction stories and support stories.

“I don’t know if I should take the lead because I’m still physically young and there’s a difference in size, but is that okay?”

“Oh my God. It’s okay, Your Highness!”

She’s the daughter of a viscount… She must be quite influential.

I hope there are no people who ignore me because I am not a count or a marquis. Indeed, the number of high-ranking aristocrats above the rank of count only accounted for 20 to 30 percent of the total. Even so, it hit a lot.

If so, the remaining 70% or more nobles would be called viscounts or barons. Of course, they usually form factions under the high-ranking nobles and form organizations, but that means they cannot be ignored unless they are viscounts in the countryside.

No, since the prince had calculated and invited me to a party like this in the first place, I wouldn’t have been able to attend unless I was a noble who gave me something or had power. It is a secretly considered Yongdam Hohyeol.

After the song was playing, I and Ordo started dancing with the Viscount Lady.

Apparently, she is about 15 years old. She slowly starts to show off her feminine features, and her body size is much larger than that of Luminous, so her body shape is close to the hanging shape, so it doesn’t look out of place. But at least she could dance without stepping on her toes.

“You’re good, you must have practiced a lot.”

“Well, yes”

The song was a calm song. It’s not a fun dance song, so we dance in a circle in a place prepared in the middle of the party according to the beat.

Thanks to that, I didn’t have to be busy with my feet, and it was nice to be able to talk as long as I looked around properly.

“Does His Highness have a close friendship with the Crown Prince? Judging from what you said earlier, it seems like that…”

“Well, we’re close enough to ask each other how we are and talk while laughing.”

“Oh, I see. Then, with the first princess?”

“First of all, the two of you are friends.”

In short, it is said that it is neutral only for two people.

In her eyes I read the calculating purpose of finding out about me. I don’t know if it was before the hagisa attack, but now I’m a hot potato. Their purpose to find out more information was not strange either.

“Come to think of it, I had eaten at the Third Royal before. At that time, I was shocked enough to be shocked by my view of gastronomy. Seeing that you run a restaurant like that, Your Highness must be interested in cooking and gourmet food.”

“Ah, yes. To be honest, I have a lot of attachment to this project because it’s been a project from start to finish. I also have personal interests. Besides, it’s half a hobby, so for me, Third Royale is more than just a source of money.”

The meaning of half hobby is half sincerity.

I was thinking of adapting it to the subject of the story as much as possible, but I can’t stop talking about the third royal story here!

“Yes, it was such a nice place that I wanted to stop by every day. That’s why I wish it was in our estate…”

“You mean Third Royal?”

“We, Viscount Ordo, are a family that trades as a family business through a port city adjacent to the sea in the western part of the empire, but thanks to that, it is a place where foreign wealthy merchants mainly visit. Why don’t you set up a branch of ?”

“I haven’t made any plans to branch out yet, but I’ll think about it positively.”

Are you trying to start there? But it’s not a bad approach. It’s not like I didn’t think about the chain store plan either.

However, chain stores are only possible when they can maintain equal taste and quality. So far, the number of chefs in our shop and palace has not reached such a level of skill.

There are still very few chefs who are above the level, so it’s impossible to plan a branch office. This is more business than cooking, but it still takes more time.

But that’s only for about a year. After that amount of time, the cooks here will also build up their skills and be able to open a restaurant.

“I’m thirsty after dancing for quite some time. Can I take a break?”

“Ah, sorry, Your Highness. I should have been more considerate.”

“No, it’s okay. I was more satisfied to dance with the beautiful young lady.”

“Oh… Not to say anything”

He blushed and felt embarrassed at the word “Beautiful young lady,” But that was a pretense. I see it in my eyes.

It’s a bit like that because I can’t enjoy a party like this with pure eyes.

…….No, by the way, did you just say port city?

That means there is the sea, and having the sea means there is seafood. Of course, it is not that there are no routes for seafood to be brought in here, but the freshness of seafood eaten in the original place is also special.

Seafood caught right from the sea is cut and trimmed, boiled in a spicy seafood soup, and the soup is delicious! It feels like I’m going to pour a bottle of soju on my own!!!!!

Soju? Huh? Soju?

Come to think of it, wasn’t there an oriental-like country called a kingdom? Wouldn’t there be soju?

Mmmm! Suddenly interested in tha! No, but I’m still young so I can’t drink, so what can I do?

At that time, I noticed someone hurriedly running to the prince and announcing some news. Although the distance is far, I listened carefully to what he was saying, focusing on my senses.

“Your Highness, there is news from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Underworld.”

“……At the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? I think it’s a little earlier than usual?”

It is news that the story came from a place where you can see what the department is doing just by looking at it.

Umm, the demons are mainly managed by Phantom, not by me!
