Episode 177 The Resurrected Emperor (1)
After watching the progress for several days, Ray nodded.
In the meantime, the emperor’s body only got better.
Standing up and walking can now be done without difficulty.
Of course, you can’t move vigorously, but even if it’s this much, you’ll be able to do your daily life.
It can be said that the treatment has been successful enough because it has made a person who can not even move due to stiff muscles.
Ray looked at the emperor and said.
“Is there any pain in moving your body?”
Then the emperor moved his body here and there and answered.
“There is no pain anywhere. It’s still a bit uncomfortable, but…”
“You have to keep moving that part. Don’t forget to exercise and do it every day.”
“Um, thank you. I will repay this grace step by step.”
“Please pour all that grace into the holy kingdom. I’m going to trade this time, so please take good care of that. ha ha ha.”
To be honest, repaying the emperor’s favor was burdensome.
And when you don’t know what you’re going to do, who knows if you’ll accidentally get your nose pierced?
Ray wanted to refrain from doing any more troublesome things.
Didn’t he pay a lot of attention to the absurdly large adaptation period given by God and the Holy Kingdom?
‘It’s just a blessing, and I don’t want to get a stomachache while eating anything.’
The emperor, unaware of that thought, simply exclaimed in admiration as he watched it.
‘To think of returning the emperor’s grace to the motherland… What kind of patriotism and detachment are you talking about?’
How many people will be able to have the transcendence of power and material desires at that age?
Does that mean that he is also a saint? When I saw the saint in front of my eyes and saw my children, I couldn’t bear to raise my head because I was ashamed.
To that extent, the emperor had high regard for Ray.
‘No matter what means, he is a person to be recruited by our empire. If money and power don’t work, it’s better to tie them by blood.’
Ray was momentarily taken aback by the Emperor’s hot stare.
‘Why is this man like this again?’
For some reason, a bad feeling creeps up.
I couldn’t hide the feeling that something had already been stabbed in my nose.
The Emperor looked out the window and said.
“I must stand up. You left the imperial castle empty for too long.”
“You want to move? I don’t know what to say, but the imperial family is a complete mess right now. You might be shocked to see it.”
“To some extent, I guess. Although they are my children, they are all those who are only interested in the emperor’s throne rather than their father’s illness.”
A truly sad answer came back.
However, what is even sadder than that is to say such a story with a nonchalant expression.
Ray looked at the door with his arms crossed.
“Then you have to go out and make a fuss. Everyone will be surprised when they see you walking.”
“ha ha ha. I’m also pounding right now Would you like to accompany me to the lobby?”
“Sure.”
With those words, the emperor left the door.
When I took a step and went out to the hallway, I felt a new feeling even though I had always walked there.
The emperor of the Lessian Empire, the iron-blooded monarch, has finally been resurrected.
* * *
“Your Majesty the Emperor of Hua…”
“Are you finally awake!”
The knight commanders were the first to greet the emperor.
It was because they were the ones I ran into while walking around the garden.
The emperor unleashed a mighty force like never before.
Of course, the emperor can’t handle mana. What was flowing out now was the absolute thing he had gained by reigning as the emperor of the Lessian Empire, the strongest country on the continent, for more than forty years.
“I have to ask about the imperial family. Tell everyone to gather right away.”
I did not dare to disagree with that one word.
The knight commanders each knelt down.
“All right.”
“I follow Your Majesty’s orders.”
The two of them hurriedly ran somewhere along with the horse.
The emperor muttered as he looked behind them.
“How dare you fight to the death like that in the imperial family. It must have been something I did wrong in educating my children.”
It led to a sigh to himself.
Ray was speaking.
“Even if you made it wrong, you made it very wrong. Now is the time to make it right.”
“Heh heh heh. That too.”
Being in front of the emperor, it is possible to spit out the sound that has been applied to the mouth, but the words that are spit out are extremely sharp.
For an instant, my heart was sore.
But those things made him even more eager.
Anyone with a hint can do it. The words he wanted to hear so far were something that would sting like now.
As he walked through the garden and headed to the lobby, the fights that ran into him greeted him in amazement.
“Meet His Majesty the Emperor of Hua.”
At that one word, even those around him stopped what they were doing and knelt down.
The emperor smiled benevolently and waved his hand.
“I just came out to get some fresh air. Do what everyone else is doing.”
“I’m sorry.”
It’s a greeting I’ve always received all my life, so why do I feel so happy today?
It felt like all the frustration I had so far had been relieved.
The emperor accepted everyone’s greetings one by one until he headed to the lobby.
The two of them enjoyed freedom to the fullest as they strolled through the garden, and as time passed, they went inside.
Upon entering Daejeon, no one was seated there yet.
The emperor walked slowly up the stairs and leaned against the throne where he usually sat.
“Sit next to me. Because I want to introduce myself specially at this event.”
At his words, Ray thought.
‘This has a bad feeling…’
But there was no reason to refuse.
Rey silently sat down on the throne next to the emperor.
Soon after, the prince and princess began to gather one by one.
Each of them looked at the emperor and greeted them.
“Meet Your Majesty. I congratulate you on your full recovery.”
“You’ve finally recovered! I congratulate you.”
“…But why is the Holy Son sitting there?”
The emperor answered the princess’s question instead.
“I asked the Holy Son to do so.”
“…yes.”
I don’t seem to understand, but I seem to be forced to answer.
The emperor, who had been accepting congratulations one by one, spoke in a deliberately stern tone.
“You have done something that should not have been done. Do you know what I mean?”
“….”
“What are you talking about…”
The emperor sighed as he saw them continuing in ignorance.
“Oh, about the prince. It is disguised as an accidental death, but I also know that it was the result of a fight between you guys.”
“….”
“….”
“Why do brothers want to kill each other? Didn’t I tell you to be so harmonious from the old days?”
No one could answer his words.
No, it would be correct to say that he did not answer.
Even now, they just want to take the emperor’s place.
If one more brother had to die for him, he would kill enough more.
Ray saw through their intentions.
“To think that princes and princesses are like this. These aren’t animals.”
They were furious at his savagery.
“You are talking too much.”
“You should keep in mind that this is the imperial family.”
Along with their words, the knights of their respective private escorts put their hands on the handles of their swords.
Now that there is only one emperor, their threat is nothing more than a floating cloud that will dissipate.
As he waved his hand, the knights retreated.
“That is correct. If something like this happens again, I will have no choice but to treat you like animals.”
“Your Majesty!”
“That is not to be said! How could the royal family…!”
What a pitiful sight.
I was blinded by the power that shimmered before my eyes.
If people like this become emperors, the country will become impoverished and the people will be destitute, saying that three days is a long way off.
In the end, Ray decided to change what he had planned.
He fired at them again.
“You sound like royalty. There is nothing more terrifying than having uneducated people sit on the throne.”
“Let’s see, you’re so rude!”
“The one who couldn’t learn it wasn’t you!”
“How dare you talk like that in front of Daejeon… It looks like you really want to die.”
Ray laughed at their words.
“Now, it’s proof that you guys haven’t learned anything.”
Ray took parchments from his bosom and tossed them around.
These are the parchments that So-Young and Heuk-Young stole from them last night.
Of course, the contents are only bad things.
Various corruption and conspiracies were even attached to the billing contract for the assassins.
The complexion of the prince and princess seriously hardened.
It seems that they need treatment as well, as they have hardened to the point of similar symptoms to the emperor’s muscle rigidity.
“Do you see yourself a little more straight now? that’s what you guys are They cut each other down, hurt each other, and eventually kill each other. Even the monsters aren’t this ugly.”
The emperor picked up the fallen paper and read it.
He was also greatly shocked.
Could it be that the imperial family had been rotten to this extent?
From taxes to bribery and even poison, there is nothing left untouched.
At this point, it would be more accurate to view it as a criminal organization.
Members of the imperial family, including the emperor, were speechless.
Seeing this, Ray clicked his tongue.
“It is very desirable. Those who don’t even have the qualifications to become emperors are fighting for their place. Tsk tsk.”
“That… thing…”
“…”
“It would be better for this princess to become the emperor.”
If you had to pick someone without a name on this parchment, it would definitely be this princess, Celia.
Surprisingly, she didn’t commit even a single corruption and didn’t get caught up in it.
It was only natural for her to read books in her own bedroom.
His personality was also a passing point, and he even had the heart to put others first, so even though he was a woman, he would have had enough to become an emperor.
the emperor groaned.
“I can’t believe it.”
There are things that have been told to me since ancient times, so why did it come to this?
Could it be that there was something wrong with his teaching?
A serious sense of skepticism came.
The emperor looked around for a moment before opening his mouth.
“Except for Celia, I will give you three years of probation. Disagreements are not accepted. If you don’t want to follow me, leave the imperial family.”
In case of disobedience, he would dig up from the genealogy.
When my normally benevolent father came this far, I couldn’t say anything else.
The emperor had the power to push forward when he did something worthy of a man who had earned the reputation of an iron-blooded lord.
If there is a difference of opinion, I will do what I said immediately.
In the end, they had no choice but to accept probation.
It is said that probation was a big enough blow at a time like now.
First of all, succession cannot be maintained.
This is because, while under probation, he cannot inherit the throne of the emperor.
In addition, external activities as well as internal activities are impossible for three years.
To put it simply, it is to live as if you were dead.
The emperor looked at the prince for a moment.
‘That’s the last thing left.’
