Chapter 113
Editor : Aru
I think that’s better, right? I’m not saying my looks are ugly, but it’s a waste of Ash’s face in many ways to bury in history.….
I was preoccupied with such thoughts and suddenly realized what I was thinking.
What the! Crazy. Lydia, what are you doing? Where do you want to get ahead of yourself?
It was when I felt embarrassed to think alone and wanted to fan my face with my hands. The emperor opened his mouth.
“Yes, Princess Widgreen. What did you ask to see me for?”
Thank you. The timing is really perfect. I snapped at the words as if I had waited.
“I’m here to tell you something important, Your Majesty.”
“Hmm?”
“May I ask you to let the surroundings leave for a while?”
The emperor seemed to be pondering my words for a moment, and soon lifted one hand up and gestured it.
Then, with that simple hand movements, all the maids and knights inside the room retreated outside.
The emperor lowered his hand.
“Now tell me.”
“Thank you. Well…….”
Without hesitation, I took out the cloth I had brought.
The Emperor’s eyes flashed a brief glance at the case.
I saw it and stop.
“Do you happen to know this?”
“No, I’ve never seen it before, it doesn’t look so special on the outside. But……”
The emperor seemed to be agonizing and continued his words. His head tilted slightly to one side.
“There’s a strange feeling somewhere. Should I say it’s different. Is it magical?”
I was inwardly surprised. I didn’t feel any unusualness when Ari or I saw it.
After experiencing the effect directly, I was amazed at the fact that it was still no different from ordinary cloth with my own eyes.
‘But the moment he saw it for a second, he knew that the enchanted cloth is not a normal cloth.”
As expected from The Emperor, he’s not an Emperor just because he’s royal lineage.
He said he had no knowledge about magic. This would be true even in reverse. I nodded, recalling the prince’s extraordinary stats.
“It’s not magic, but it’s a cloth with similar abilities. Actually, this is….”
I explained the cloth calmly.
I didn’t even mention the name of the enchanted cloth. It was only known to those who had seen the future through books that the cloth had such a name.
There was no big change in the face of The Emperor who heard all my stories.
I added just in case.
“If you need confirmation, it may be difficult here right now, but if you could spare some time… in the northern forest……….”
“No, no.”
The emperor, who shook his head, opened his mouth. It wasn’t a tone that ignored or fancied my words.
“I’ve heard that there was a mass outbreak of monsters in the North Forest not long ago. I got a witness. There was no way to confirm.”
The Emperor looked down at the cloth with a meaningful glance.
“It must have been true.”
“…….”
“Thanks, princess. I won’t forget this.”
“May I ask what you’re going to do?”
The question is, how would he handle the enchanted cloth? The emperor spoke without concern.
“I have to overturn the temple of love and squeeze their inner. Until they tell their true intentions.”
“Yes?”
Well, is that okay?
No, there will be no problem with the procedure. In this world, the imperial power is primarily the absolute power, and the enchanted cloth will be the physical evidence, not the heart.
But what surprised me was that the emperor had so easily decided to reject the temple of love.
That’s just what I’m saying.
Had he ever hated the temple of love?
And my question is. It was soon cleared up.
“Why, is it too much?”
“No, it’s not…….”
“I’ll tell you one thing. In the empire, temples dedicated to the gods of resources were prevalent. Do you know?”
I know. I checked it out because of Ari.
Aside from what I knew, however, I was puzzled by the sudden topic. I answered without concealing such signs.
“Yes.”
“Yes. 300 years ago, it was at the forefront. But now I can’t find it at all. Did you know why?”
I don’t know.
And this was something I was curious about before. I asked back carefully.
“Your Majesty, do you have any idea about it?”
“They tried to rebuild the Holy Empire.”
“Yes?”
The Holy Empire. A country where the temple of God, literally, becomes the centre of power and control.
It is a country where the Pope rules as a monarch, so to speak.
I was told that the Holy Empire existed only in the past. So even the concept of a country or civilization was very remote.
“It seems that they missed the time when they were wielding power over omnipresent with the called absolute god. They’ve gathered their strength and planned to steal the empire behind our back.”
“……..”
“When I found out about it, the emperor of the time immediately stepped forward and took action without leaving a temple in the Empire. The superiors caught them and cut off their necks, and converted all the underlings who knew nothing.”
I listened silently to a story that I had never found in any history book I had read.
The emperor leaned back leisurely in his chair and continued his backtalk.
“In the empire, where the status of the temple was greatest, the decline was a definite step. That’s what happened.”
“…….”
“Do you understand why I told you this?”
“Yes, it’s possible that the Temple of Love also staged it for the same purpose.”
After hearing it, I knew it.
That would be the purpose of the power to control the monster. Creating a large army of monsters to deter………
“That’s correct. I’m actually convinced beyond the level of possibility. Their intention didn’t smell good.”
That’s what the emperor said with a grinned.
Surprisingly, he looks more like the prince when he smiles. I was surprised inside. They look like a clone.
The emperor, who had no way of knowing what I was surprised at inside, seemed quite happy. Like having a chance to get the sick tooth out.
“I really appreciate the princess.”
“No, this is nothing, Your Majesty.”
I shook my head in a hurry. It’s a yard where I somehow made the ball, but I don’t think it’s worth listening to twice.
Moreover, I’m also concerned about the fact that I’ve already used enough of the enchanted cloth to make a belated accusation.
However, The Emperor seemed to be quite satisfied. He said, ignoring whether I shook my head or not.
“I wish there was something in return that would help the princess.”
“It’s all right…”
“You’ve been looking for a God of dimensions, haven’t you?”
I hesitated.
How does know? Is there a new rumour in the social circle that I don’t know?
“No surprise. I just remember you using the imperial library before. You only borrowed data about the God of Dimension.”
Oh……at the time, I did. The day when a collection of books that could not be loaned in principle was loaned with the authority of the prince.
‘It’s being reported.’
I didn’t know he’d know such a private thing. I didn’t step up and encourage overpowering, but my conscience was being pierced for nothing, and the emperor’s voice continued.
“I thought of it while talking about the temple before. Yeah, well, if you’re still investigating God of Dimension. I think I could give you some help.”
“Yes?”
An unexpected development has emerged. As soon as I opened my eyes wide without realizing it, the following words came up.
“There was a man who claimed to have met God. God’s mistake made him come here.”
I listened quietly to the emperor.
It was the best concentration since I came here. I hesitated and looked at The Emperor’s eyes.
“At that time, the god he referred to was the god of dimension. With that mouth, he said he was able to go back to where he was. But before that, he claimed that he was left here with a curse because he violated God’s planting by his own mistake.”
“……..”
“Of course no one believed him. There was no way to prove it. It was a blank book that he gave out evidence, so I had nothing to say even if he was treated like a madman by the people around me.”
A blank book.
I suddenly remembered when I first discovered “Spring of the Goddess Agrita” and showed it to Bessie.
‘Bessie, do you happen to see what this book is about? What’s the title?
‘Well, it’s all white in my eyes. Does it say anything?’
My heart throbbed.
My mouth was itchy. So, wherever I could meet him, I felt like I wanted to stand up and ask.
The emperor said something that couldn’t be better than this if he had even read my heart.
“I’ll call him the Imperial Palace. It’ll take a few days. Because he’s not living in the capital.”
“….….”
“I wonder if it helped.”
“I am wrapped in your Majesty’s grace.”
The Emperor smiled contentedly when I spoke with all my heart.
Soon, the emperor raised up in his seat. I followed right up to give an example.
Then the emperor opened his mouth as if he had suddenly thought of it.
“Is this the only reason you visited the palace today?”
He said as if he knew something. I hesitated and answered once.
“I have other business to do too, but….”
“Really?”
The emperor was silent for a moment about what he was thinking. Then he said to me with an expression of doubt.
“If you’re going to take off your princess status, it’s already in the process, so there’s no need to waste your time.”
“What?”
“The Duke came the day before.”
