Chapter 582 – 47. Dejac Empire – Empire, Finish. (One)

[Dejac Empire – Empire, finishing.]

The 2nd princess ran desperately through the corridors of the imperial castle.

Instead of the fancy dress adorned with jewels that I always wore, it was a stuffy military uniform.

Although I was forced to wear it by her staff, I was grateful for it now.

Thanks to this, I don’t feel uncomfortable running down the hallway like this.

“Haa, haa…! Ugh…!”

Of course, my physical strength hasn’t improved, but I’m fine now.

A rebellion that unfortunately overlapped with others. No, revolution.

Although he took care to avoid the eyes of the imperial family and the Ministry of Intelligence, it was a mistake to forget about other competitors.

I don’t know about the others, but the 2nd and 7th princes should have watched carefully.

When I found out about it today, I thought her head was going to explode.

Needless to say, the most important thing in this rebellion is the presence of the emperor.

As there are three rebel forces, there are quite a few people involved in the rebellion, but in terms of numbers, there are naturally a lot more neutrals.

There are very few loyalists.

There were originally a lot of them, but a series of mistakes made them turn their backs on them.

That is why an emperor was needed.

To be exact, the prison guard he has.

‘Okchain. That’s all you need. The empire may be shaken for a moment, but if it’s me, I can raise Glazer higher than my father!’

The second princess holds the emperor in high esteem, but prides herself on being more than that.

It wasn’t much different for the 2nd or 7th princes either.

Like everyone else, their pride in themselves was sky-high.

‘Well, if the Emperor is alive, he will only be a hindrance.’

No matter how much Oksae refers to the empire itself, there is something called the authority of the emperor.

He is the person who reigned on the throne for decades and revived the Glazers.

Even if there are no chains, there are plenty of people who would follow him if he were alive.

‘But, haha, I myself… It’s not good to use your hands. Therefore… Phew.’

The 2nd princess was breathing heavily and vigorously walking down the marble hallway.

As she neared the emperor’s office, she discovered something surprising.

“This man…?!”

Although it was rare, there were a few corpses in the hallway that I almost passed by.

However, once she saw it, it was a face that made her stop in her tracks.

“Count. This man is the head of the intelligence department, right?”

“…You’re right.”

She asked her staff just in case, but she didn’t see anything wrong.

‘Why here…’

2 As the princess was panicking, her advisor bent down and looked at her body.

There weren’t many injuries.

Just a couple of them.

However, in a fight between powerful people who have achieved a high level, this is what determines victory or defeat.

It was such a fatal wound.

“That’s incredible. He’s a very capable person when it comes to claiming information.”

Even after getting up and looking at the surroundings, there are no traces of blood believed to belong to the other person.

Instead, what you see are traces of an intense battle that reached not only the floor, but also the walls, pillars, and ceiling.

It was a scene that seemed to announce to the world that it was a fight against someone as strong as the head of the intelligence department.

“The person who killed this person has already gone, right?”

“Yes. Looking at how hard the blood hardened, it would have taken at least an hour.”

The second princess’s complexion turned white.

Is there anywhere around here that the person who killed the intelligence chief could go?

As far as she knew, there was only one place.

“Follow me!”

“…Yes.”

She started running again, taking her staff with her.

The emperor’s office was just around the corner, so we arrived quickly.

“Haha.”

“Hmm…”

I opened the door without even knocking, but there was no response.

A staff member who inspects the office on behalf of the master, who is out of breath from running and unable to control his stamina.

The space was very quiet, with very fresh air, probably due to the use of good air fresheners.

‘Aren’t you there? Then, are you still in the bedroom?’

If that’s true, it’s the worst.

The emperor’s space is usually designed to pursue stability rather than convenience.

This means that the distance between the office and the bedroom is far.

I knew the emperor was unwell, but given his personality, I figured he would definitely be in the office.

Even if it means lying down on the sofa and resting.

‘Is it that bad? No matter how difficult it is, in the office… Ah.’

The staff belatedly discovered a bed that could be used instead of a sofa.

I never thought there would be a bed in the office, and it was my first time coming here, so I was late in realizing it.

“…Gulp.”

The staff member walked to the bed, swallowing dry saliva, and the second princess, who had finally recovered.

“I found it.”

“I found it.”

“I was here too.”

“Yes, fortunately… Something is strange.”

“Yeah, I think the same thing.”

The emperor doesn’t move.

The posture was strange for simply sleeping.

They are not covered with blankets or using pillows.

Rather than lying down properly in bed, it looked as if he had fallen in the middle of getting up.

Even if you just have bad sleeping habits, it doesn’t make sense for you to still be asleep when there’s a commotion outside.

“No way…”

The aide carefully placed his finger under the emperor’s nose.

“Uh, how are you?”

“He is breathing.”

“Then…?”

A situation where the English text is unknown.

A blood vessel in the brain had burst due to the sudden surge in blood pressure, but there was no way for either of them to know.

Even though I tried to calmly check his condition, time was running out.

“It’s okay. It doesn’t look like it’s going to happen right away, so let’s find the prison first.”

“All right.”

In my heart, I wanted to wake up the emperor and ask about Oksae’s whereabouts, even if it meant hitting him.

However, if you wake them up for no reason and they make a fuss, or if they call support that they don’t know, is there anything more embarrassing than that?

It would be better to search the entire office to find Oksae on your own.

Although I won’t kill you right away just in case the worst happens.

Luckily, the 2nd Princess was able to find her Oksak in a secret space under her desk, as if it had been prepared.

“Ah…! These are the chains…!”

She thought it was fate.

She thought there was no way she could have hidden it in an ordinary place, but she couldn’t believe she found the Oksae after only two times.

It was clear that the goddess meant that she would become emperor herself.

“Haha. Then now…”

All that remains is to get rid of the unnecessary emperor.

The culprit will be someone who comes after this.

2 The staff member exchanged a look with the princess, nodded her head, and took out a sword from his arms.

“Let’s finish it quickly and let’s go.”

“I understand…”

Ugh!

“This…!”

The staff member clicked his tongue at the loud vibration sound that rang out in his arms.

A magic tool was activated to make contact without being affected by the magic of the castle.

It was a signal sent by their subordinates following them to monitor the enemy’s movements.

“It looks like he’s already here.”

“What? Uh, what should I do?”

“Let’s just go.”

It’s a waste of time to talk.

The aide ran quickly, pulling the second princess’s hand.

“Now, wait…! We have to kill the emperor…!”

“It’s okay. We’re not the only ones who don’t benefit from having an emperor. If the 2nd or 7th princes come, they too will have no choice but to kill the emperor!”

“Oh, that’s right!”

It may seem reasonable at first glance, but it only works when you don’t know the emperor’s condition.

From the traitor’s point of view, the Emperor is much better off dead than alive.

And it is better to remain mentally broken and in a vegetative state.

A powerful weapon that can borrow authority or belittle an opponent like a living prison.

Without knowing it, the 2nd princess and her staff quickly disappeared.

After a while.

“What? I think my father is brain dead?”

“Yes, that’s right. He’s just alive… So to speak.”

“Fine, that explanation! This is a good opportunity. Ha, you stupid bitch! This is better than the prison chains!”

The 7th prince smiles brightly, referring to the emperor as this.

When she was later than the 2nd princess, it seemed like she would be furious, but she got something better in her hands.

A traitor who tried to kill her father, made her lose her mind and took away her prison chains.

What an attractive frame this is.

The 7th Prince giggled, took her Emperor, and disappeared with her men.

“Bye mug!!”

In the end, the 2nd Prince, who was the last one, punched her wall as she looked at the messy office.

Since the 2nd princess and the 7th prince came and went earlier, of course there would be no shackles, and for some reason even the emperor disappeared.

They risked everything to start a rebellion, but all that remained was the name rebel.

I could not accept such a ridiculous result, as it would have been better if I had been executed for failing in the rebellion.

“Search thoroughly!”

“Yes, yes? I, no, Your Majesty?”

Since I came last, it seemed like I was going to waste everything, so I had to get something.

The two who came first may have left in a hurry because of the competitors who would follow, but not because of themselves.

I was able to take my time because I had already heard that the imperial faction at the command center had been wiped out.

“It’s the Emperor’s office! I’m sure there’s something that can help!”

“All right!”

This office is where the emperor spends nearly half of his day.

The father was once famous for his iron-blooded rule, never forgiving anyone who challenged his authority.

Of course, it is obvious that he holds the weaknesses and information of many high-ranking nobles.

To be exact, I hoped so.

But something even more surprising was discovered.

“Your Majesty! This is a great discovery!”

“What? What!”

“Okchain! I found the Okchain!”

“…?!”

The 2nd prince was astonished.

And soon my stomach exploded with laughter.

I never thought Oksae would be behind the pillow.

The second princess, who had been searching only her desk and bookshelf, clearly couldn’t find it and left in a hurry.

Since there were traces of being left behind, the 7th prince must have given up like himself and taken the emperor instead.

The winner was himself.

“Kkkk! Haha!! You idiots! It’s obvious that the goddess chose me!”

The 2nd Prince, Hee Hee, falls into despair and stops searching for her and leaves the office with Oksae.

His subordinates also followed their master, hoping to receive a huge reward later.

The office was so empty that no one was left.

A corner where there should be nothing seemed to stir, and a man appeared.

“Good. It went as planned.”

Valdez went to the bookshelf and with leisurely movements found the fake chains he had hidden.

A total of five, including the one taken by the prince and princess.

If there are too many, you may find several at once, and if there are too few, you may end up leaving without finding them, so I decided on this number.

The two jade chains they left with Shinnara were both fake.

He could have kept at least one real one hidden, but he deliberately left only the fake ones.

Of course, the real thing was in his arms, to be exact, Wilhelmina, who had been sent to the Magic Tower first.

In a way, isn’t she the new emperor with the true jade chain?

“Well, there’s no point. The empire will be torn apart and absorbed into me.”

There is nothing more to do here now.

Valdez quietly went to the magic tower without anyone noticing.
