Episode 58
Episode 28. Hwangseong’s call ⑶ Meanwhile, in the Hwangseong office meeting room, three men were talking.
Winslting Roseff Hays Rollmandy Barris Cannon.
Rozef was a surname given to the Grand Duke, the husband of the Empress.
It was because of the presence of Archduke Winslting that they could use the empty meeting room without the Empress’s permission.
The meeting room was enchanted to prevent sound leaking out. Throughout the imperial castle, there were countless types of magic devices that ordinary people would never notice.
“Jecca Dean must be unavailable now.”
said Winslting.
“yes.”
Hayes gnashed his teeth as he answered.
I didn’t know things would turn out this way with the Blue Dragon. The plan was being disrupted by one damn commoner.
Winslting had the surname of Rollmandy before becoming the empress’s husband. As Hayes’s cousin, he was not very prominent in the family.
“Have you met that commoner?”
“I have met you. They seem to support the second princess.”
Barris replied.
“My first daughter is in a bit of a bad condition. It will only get worse in the future.”
Winslting let out a fishy laugh.
“If you support Hela, that commoner should decide what to do for Hela.”
“I am a disciple of Duran Jacques. It will not come over easily to us.”
“Let’s speed up the point at which Zishka will cause a rebellion. You, Varis, continue to assist Hella and act as a double agent.
Are you using the right medicine?”
Yes, the emotional ups and downs of the first princess are getting worse.”
“good.”
The three men left the meeting room after a long time.
* * * Yuma headed to the imperial castle to respond to the call of the Empress.
The top team of Puang was kicked out again, but Yuma had already expected it.
Before entering the throne room, Yuma had to face a eunuch first in the hallway of the imperial castle.
It was pornon.
He was to guide Yuma to the audience room.
“Hmm… What is that outfit for an audience with your majesty? Couldn’t you dress like a commoner?”
Fornon said, looking Yuma up and down.
As usual, Yuma was wearing a high-quality coat that nobles would wear.
As soon as Yuma arrived at the imperial castle, he was dumbfounded to see this bastard’s face.
‘In my last life, you tormented me so much. In this life, you play with my weapon in a duel at a banquet hall. I don’t know the subject.’
Yuma stopped walking. It was necessary to inform him of the difference in eye level.
“Hunter Pornon.”
“You know my name. But what about you calling my name carelessly…
“Does His Majesty know that you beat only platinum-haired women in Changchon run by the Povian family? Oh, I don’t even know that Changchon is owned by the Povian family.”
Platinum hair was the same hair color as the symbol of the imperial family.
The former empress and the current empress, Hella Rose, all had golden hair that shone white.
Only Zishka Rose had black hair that inherited Winslting’s hair color.
Fornon looked at Yuma with an absurd face.
“How do you want me to know this?”
Yuma said, bringing her face closer to Pornon. Fornon’s pupils were shaking.
“That’s not the end. You catch the new eunuchs’ weaknesses, cause them to make mistakes, and pretend to cover them up, taking dishonest money. You buy prostitutes with that money.”
“Ah ah…
“If you take it off, only the wind will pass through your lower body, but why don’t you put your ugly desires aside? If you want to prolong your life even if it is pitiful.”
Yuma turned around without hearing Pornon’s answer.
“Ah, it was impressive that you played tricks with my sword during the last banquet sparring. See you again.”
After those words, Yuma took a step forward.
For a long time, Fornon was devastated and could not leave the corridor of the imperial castle.
He knew the way to the imperial throne room even without being guided. It was a hallway that I had been walking on for 40 years.
The feeling was new. It was always a path he had walked only as a eunuch. Yuma looked around at the well-polished, gleaming landscape around him.
Somehow I felt like I had returned home. I was more familiar with this scenery of the imperial castle than the Puang Merchant Company, which had spent nearly two years as a residence after returning in time.
Yuma took a deep breath and stood in front of the audience room.
“Your Majesty, commoner Yuma has come to visit.”
An attendant announced Yuma’s audience.
“Stop by.”
Yuma cautiously entered the audience room with her eyes fixed down.
I remember the entire process clearly.
When you enter the audience room, you walk twenty-five steps. Bend one knee and fix your gaze on the toes of the empress. Remain immobile until ordered by the Empress.
This was the way to have an audience with the Empress of the Empire.
“Raise your head.”
Yuma raised her gaze, which had been fixed on the empress’ toes, to her chest.
Looking straight into the eyes of the Empress sitting on the throne was an act that no one except the Grand Duke and the Duchess would allow.
‘It looks like you’ve seen it hundreds of times. A strange commoner.’
Just by looking at his audience, you could tell the person’s dignity.
Even if boys from aristocratic families met him right away, they couldn’t be more perfect than me.
“The recent appeal against you is making Jim very tired. Do you know?”
“I’m sorry. I was expecting it.”
Yuma calmly replied. The woman sighed and looked into Yuma’s eyes.
“Is it true that you broke the sword of the garrison knight?”
“It is true.”
Yuma didn’t attach any limbs.
It didn’t do any good to say that Jack swung the knife blindly and threatened to cut off his arm. The empress was not an idiot who would not have expected that either.
It was unusual for the empress to step forward in person because of a commotion caused by a commoner. To that extent, Yuma’s class and positional influence were contradictory.
“Are you aware that you are a commoner?”
The empress disliked complicated twists and turns.
“Yes, Your Majesty. I am aware of it.”
“But how do you take such an action?”
“Because it was judged to be beneficial to the empire.”
It was still a calm voice.
The Empress fell into thought for a moment at the unexpected answer.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, please punish me, etc. I thought I’d send it back after hearing some standard stories.
After all, he was a disciple of Duran, and he was credited with subjugating the 7th Demon Cave.
If it was done with a few shouts in place of the fruit with the ball, the grievances of the minor nobles would disappear.
“It’s good. It sounds like a very arrogant statement that your well-being is related to the interests of the empire.”
“There is a problem with the administrative procedures of the current garrison.”
“Did you feel like you were in a position to talk about state affairs with Duke Duran on your back?”
The Empress lowered her voice and said.
“your majesty. If I had regretted my life, I would have simply said sorry to Your Majesty, and if I had covetous for power, I would have adopted Duran Jacques.”
Except for Duran Jacques, no one had ever expressed his opinion in this way against the Empress.
Tekken Asuka Rose. That was the nickname of the Empress. And that nickname was born on top of countless blood.
How much less insignificant commoners!
However, the Empress’ eyes stood out.
“You refused to be knighted, and now you’re making fun of three-inch nonsense against me. From my point of view, you do not regret your life, but you are not without ambition. Who else is behind you?”
The question was conscious of the fact that the garrison who visited the cellove headquarters touched Zeka’s spear and was injured and passed out.
The Empress knew that none of human magic could enchant a weapon like that.
“I am the Blue Dragon, a descendant of the Krysa Ainu Dragon Lord Mahartrisa.”
“Is the weapon of the commoner named Zekara that injured the garrison belonged to that dragon?”
“That’s right.”
“Tell me in detail.”
Yuma explained in detail to the empress what happened at Innsubikan.
The legend of the golden pagoda and the identity of the vengeful spirit inside Zeka’s body, including the face of Pijin Karta Hugo, a descendant of the Hatri Ainu, are all included.
There was no reason to hide anything. All of that was a factor that now served as Yuma’s power.
“Duran wasn’t the only corner you believed in.”
Of course, the story of Kriesha Ainu was half a bluff.
Kriesha was not the kind of being who would intervene in the human world and take revenge even if Yuma died.
However, until the Dragon Horse War, humans did not know the dragon’s oath, their laws, or their personalities at all.
To the Empress, Yuma itself meant that she was a human like a question mark.
What if the blue dragon’s revenge unfolds in the empire?
There was very little information about dragons, but everyone knew that they were as powerful as ogres. And Kriesha belonged to the exceptionally strong side among dragons.
When discussing the world’s most powerful person, the empress could picture Kriesha’s dignity even if she recalled the legendary dance of Pidgin Karta, whose name is always mentioned.
‘The imperial family doesn’t like gambling…
That’s why they operate the Imperial Family’s special lease and support various espionage activities.
While living as a eunuch, Yuma was able to realize that the power of the imperial family was actually full of loopholes.
“But all of that sounds like you could harm my country at any time.”
“I never meant to do that, and I swore to Master. Under no circumstances would I stick a knife into the Zac family. He also said that if he showed any signs of treason, he would strike me in the head himself.”
The empress stared at Yuma without answering.
Duran has never failed to take responsibility for his words.
Duran Jacques is the most trusted person in the world by the Empress.
The empress began to think about how to use her pupil.
“I just want to do something beneficial to the Empire in my place.
That’s how the subjugation of demons started.”
“Is that all you want?”
“That’s right.”
“third time. ‘
The Empress said as if she had remembered something.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“I will give you my seal that can be used three times.”
It was an unconventional proposal. The seal of the Empress signified indulgences.
“With that seal, pay off all your silver dollars.”
“I am embarrassed, Your Majesty.”
“Go away. And you should learn something other than martial arts from your master.”
Yuma bowed and left the audience room.
The Empress decided to order Adol Povian, head of the Povian family, to investigate the dragon.
