Episode 105
The tallest person on the continent.
Generally, people will think of him first when they hear those words.
imperial emperor.
Theseus Ripple Alexandro.
A monarch who rules a great empire.
So far, few have shown a normal appearance in front of his momentum.
Even the great great mage or master bowed his head politely in front of him and looked at him.
No wonder.
Did that mean he suppressed the lords excessively like a tyrant?
It wasn’t either.
He was a monarch who understood better than anyone else that rights without duties lead to catastrophe.
suitable line.
From that ‘line’ as a starting point, the emperor used to judge what type of opponent he was.
Together.
‘…What is this guy?’
I have no idea what category it is.
This was the first time.
Until now, it remained solely his right to see through and judge his opponent.
one right now.
He felt embarrassed for the first time.
Because I couldn’t judge this ‘Mikhail Walpurgis’ guy.
‘Interesting.’
Even so, the emperor was not offended by the fact.
If the hero God chose was a guy whose true intentions were obvious, he would have been rather disappointed.
“A bit of an evolved asshole.”
“I apologize if my tone was a bit harsh. Apparently, I feel guilty about my past.”
“Hmm.”
An ordinary monarch would have felt offended.
Even though he is a hero, he is, after all, Mikhail ‘Walpurgis’.
In a way, it would be nice to see him as a person within his own fence.
However, the emperor was more interested than angry at the attitude.
“If it had been my father, he would have been quite offended by your attitude. I might have given the Marquis of Walpurgis a word.”
“However, His Majesty is different. Aren’t you a little more daring?”
“Hmm.”
The emperor laughed.
“Do you know anything about Jim?”
“Unfortunately, no. There was no way that I, who was not enough, would have had a chance to have an audience with Your Majesty.”
“Well, it is.”
The emperor lightly affirmed Mikhail’s words.
If it was Mikhail, who was merely an ‘idiot’, he would have been displeased even at the audience.
I didn’t have time to dedicate to that guy.
It’s not just being cheeky.
This hero is doing this knowing that he will be interested rather than angry.
‘Funny. fun.’
Although he had cold eyes, the emperor was smiling inside.
“What good. Let’s end the trivial story here.”
the emperor continued.
“Yes, warrior. then tell me Is there a crisis in this world? A crisis that even my empire can’t help.”
“If you prepare from now on, you will be fine. It is certain that a great disaster will strike, but the size of that disaster will depend on how you respond.”
“…Hmm.”
In other words, disaster is sure to strike.
It is a story that the future will change depending on how you respond.
‘I can’t stop this.’
You cannot deny the existence of God.
There is already a country called ‘Kyoguk’, and countless priests use divine power to restore people and perform miracles.
That’s what the warrior said.
You may need to listen
“It’s a disaster that even my empire will have a hard time surviving… …Well, the ‘great devil’ in history was definitely a difficult being to behold.”
“It’s not just the Archdemon. The god of evil, who is hiding in the darkness beyond, will also descend here.”
“…God.”
The god of evil things.
Either way, it’s a name that never sounds good.
The emperor’s empire had never faced a demon before.
The wrong lord or the rebels with the possibility of rebelling.
Battle peoples outside the Empire… ….
Those were the enemies the emperor had ever faced.
But this time it’s different.
This time, unidentified enemies that he has never faced before are waiting for the emperor.
The unknown future, the unknown enemy.
If a divine being who transcends even life is behind the enemy… ….
“…Not good.”
As the warrior said, the empire.
no no
This is not the empire, but the ‘world’ should be considered dangerous.
‘It must be meaningless to say that it can’t be.’
Wasn’t the Great Devil already hiding in the capital?
It was immediately purified by the hero, but there is enough evidence to support the hero’s words.
“Certainly Malse. If I stay as it is, I think I’ll be pretty disappointed no matter how much baggage I have.”
“What would you like to do?”
“What do you want from Jim?”
The Emperor asked in reverse.
I was quite curious as to what kind of answer this hero would give.
“You didn’t take that heavy step simply to see Jim’s face, did you? He must have come because he has something to say to Jim.”
“Speak.”
Mikhail smiled and met the Emperor’s eyes.
The emperor waited for him to answer. Because this answer seemed to reveal something.
and after a while
“haha.”
He replied with a refreshing smile.
“doesn’t exist!”
“…hmm?”
At that moment, as soon as he heard the answer, the emperor’s eyes flinched.
* * *
‘There is a reaction.’
I smiled contentedly to myself and briefly recalled the conversation I had with Archbishop Alley.
-It’s a weakness… …. I honestly don’t know if this will help… ….
He confided about the Emperor as a child.
Even if you are an emperor, there will always be times when your blood is ahead of you.
Most of them were nothing special.
It was within the ‘reasonable line’, not to be greatly flawed.
but.
-Your Majesty was quite like a tree frog. It was the same in front of His Majesty the previous Emperor.
Words followed by a bitter smile.
– only once. Of course, that temperament is activated in a conversation related to the senior position… ….
To put it simply, Hwang Hyeon-jae’s ‘tree frog’ temperament had only been triggered once at a bad time.
seniority.
Neonjisi When the emperor of the previous generation asked Emperor Hyung Hyeon, ‘do you have anything you want’ in relation to the position of the emperor, the emperor answered.
-doesn’t exist!
Called.
It is said that on that day, the emperor had to hear all sorts of bitter words from his mother, the empress, for two whole days.
The gruesome humiliation he felt was a bonus.
…whatever
Hyun Jae is such a person.
And while his childhood personality had improved considerably, the mischievous, tree-frog-like side remained.
The memory of that time is also the same.
“…no?”
The emperor stood still for a moment.
As if recalling an old memory, he pursed his lips.
“No. Are you saying there is no fuss? If you were a hero, you would have something to ask of Jim. Asking us to be the center of the continent or promising full support.”
“I’m not a hero for nothing, Your Majesty.”
The emperor’s expression, as if he had been hit by a blow, was quite worth seeing, but he continued without expressing it.
“Support is something I can achieve on my own. It should be.”
“…So you don’t need it?”
“Besides, the focal point.”
I said looking at the emperor like that.
“Doesn’t the story of being the focal point need not be a request?”
“…under.”
“Your Majesty is ruling over this vast empire, Alexandro. There is no doubt that it is already the focal point.”
i know the emperor
Having been broken by this author countless times, we can roughly predict what kind of person he is and how he will behave.
The emperor is mischievous and willful.
But at the same time, he was also a monarch who did not neglect his duties.
said Archbishop Alley.
It was said that the emperor’s temperament did not change at all even after the empress had been scolded that day.
The present system is different from the ancestors.
Since he is a tree frog, he likes people who are like tree frogs.
doesn’t exist.
The answer itself is simple.
However, it is not an easy task in itself to give such an answer in front of the emperor of the world.
Even if it’s a warrior.
“Wouldn’t His Majesty give me something suitable for me?”
“under.”
The corner of the emperor’s mouth went up at my words.
Although it gave off a rather menacing impression with fierce eyes.
‘Even that’s not familiar.’
I didn’t react to it.
As if he just expected it, he looked at the emperor with a relaxed expression.
Because I didn’t come here as ‘Walpurgis’.
Here, I am the ‘hero’ Mikhail Walpurgis.
It is not a position to look unconditionally low to the emperor.
“In other words, I didn’t ask for it, but I gave notice, so take care of yourself?”
“It’s a softer nuance, but that would be if His Majesty accepted it that way.”
“It’s off topic.”
“I would appreciate it if you would consider it my trust in Your Majesty. It would be nice if I could be a hero at all… ….”
I let out a bitter laugh.
“Unfortunately, less evolved.”
“It seems so.”
The emperor smiled and said.
“Certainly not like a warrior. It certainly seems different from the hero Jim thought.”
“Also, the role of the hero is different from what was expected.”
“What good.”
The emperor smiled contentedly.
He looked at me with a pleasant expression and continued talking.
“Then let it be like a burden. In fact, I had no intention of changing it.”
“I guess so.”
How could that self-respecting emperor change my plans with just a few words from the hero?
I just needed a little more confidence.
“Let’s organize an army of knights to fight the devil. An official notice will be issued to each lord, and we will not overdo it, but we will raise our vigilance against the devil.”
“Good.”
“As a bonus, tell me if you need support. Don’t say that you’re getting enough from the church.”
The emperor grinned.
“Because Jim isn’t so bad that I can’t apply for it than Kyokuk.”
With those words, the emperor immediately threw the brooch he was wearing at me.
A brooch I accidentally accepted.
It was engraved with the symbol of the emperor and the signature of the emperor himself.
“It is a symbol of burden. No one in the Empire will fully cooperate with you. Use it however you like.”
“Heh heh, all these things…”
There was no reason to refuse.
The symbol of the emperor has great meaning.
It will be of considerable help in doing heroic activities.
Also the barrel is big.
Assuming you like it, though.
In any case, the emperor seemed quite satisfied with this conversation.
“Do you have any other business?”
“Nothing special.”
I whispered to the emperor in passing.
“Lord Myrun appears to be quite interested in what is happening in the capital.”
“If it’s Myrun… …Is it Kelly Boss? Not a bad talent.”
“Yeah, that’s just my opinion. Wouldn’t it be nice if at least one of the imperial knights had a minor deviation?”
maybe you don’t know
During various checks in the capital, you might learn about my family’s ‘secret history’.
Maybe things will go in the right direction differently than before the return.
“…Well, lately all of the imperial knights have been stuck around Jim, so they don’t know the world. There should be at least one such person.”
He grumbled, then spoke.
“Tell it to young Kellibos. Going outside anyway. Give me plausible results.”
“Yes, I will tell you that.”
This time too, the emperor readily listened to my words.
If you like it, it’s a pretty generous personality.
After saying that, the emperor waved his hand.
“Then go. If you did this, you would have been quite satisfied with it.”
“Yes, it is.”
I bowed my head and stood up from my seat. But before leaving the throne room completely.
Turning around, he called the emperor.
“Oh and Your Majesty.”
“hmm?”
“I hope next time I can talk to the person behind that pillar as well.”
I cast my eyes toward the pillar behind the emperor and said.
The Emperor looked at me for a while.
“…her.”
I laughed like it was funny.
Then.
“Yeah, let’s do that.”
He nodded as if he had eaten one.
* * *
After the hero left the audience room, the emperor sat silent for a while. But not long after.
“your majesty.”
An old man appeared from behind the pillar.
He was wearing the armor symbolizing an imperial knight, among which were four chains.
four chains.
A symbol that only one member of the imperial family can receive.
Hector Lime, Commander of the Imperial Knights.
The emperor smiled at the old man.
“That hero seems to have noticed about the Lord?”
“…It seems so.”
Hector Rhyme looked at the place where the hero had been before with sunken eyes.
“…I didn’t think there was any way it would be discovered because he was a magician.”
“He’s a funny guy.”
The emperor giggled.
“It’s fun when things don’t go your way. What value is there in a boring life?”
“Well, it is.”
Hector smiled and said.
“I’ve heard that it’s always been like that, but a warrior is a warrior after all.”
“I mean.”
The Emperor closed his eyes.
To trust the hero’s words, there were countless things to do in the future.
If an unavoidable disaster approaches in any way… ….
‘I have to prepare.’
So that this empire can maintain its momentum in the same way as it always does after you… ….
okay.
Wasn’t he born for that?
Great mage who transcends by regression
