Chapter 316
[ Episode 316. The one who flies above the one who jumps]
“I am sorry, but I do not know what you are talking about.
I said shamelessly and lowered my head.
We knew each other’s original sin, but actually admitting it is another story.
“Are you making fun of Jim?”
“Congratulations, Your Majesty.”
As I continued to remain ignorant, I felt the Emperor rise from his seat.
“If you think you can fool Jim, you are wrong. All eyes and ears of the Empire belong to me.”
Took! Took! Took!
The sword tied to the emperor’s waist made an exceptionally loud sound.
“Even now it is not too late. If you want to save your brother, hurry up and find out where the original sin is.”
Brother?
It felt like my blood was running cold.
I calmly opened my mouth because the request I had already made to Vivian had to do with my sister.
“A small person really doesn’t know what original sin is. And a younger brother?”
“Lord Cromwell, you should know that many people are dying while you are taking so long.”
I wasn’t the only one up to something.
Suddenly, he felt the emperor, who had come close to him, tap his sword.
“Raise your head, Adrias Cromwell.”
When I looked up, I saw the emperor with an arrogant smile.
“Anyway, it seems that my petty fight with you is a victory for me.”
Judging by the tone of his voice, he must have done something to my estate…
I looked at his chin without a change in expression. It’s not polite to make eye contact, so I had to look at it roughly.
“I really have no idea. How dare I fight with Your Majesty?”
“Kain Cromwell.”
The emperor brought his father’s name out of his mouth.
“Your father was a warlock. And he stole from Jim an important object called Original Sin and hid it.”
“…….”
“It means that you are the son of a warlock. Can we talk about it now?”
You really did it.
But there was no need to waver.
Rather, it was reassuring to see such a reaction.
‘I don’t know that I have original sin.’
As the will left by his father, it was clear that the emperor was unaware of the fact that original sin was absorbed.
“Is that…is it true?”
“You are good at acting. So, I guess I was able to hold on until now.”
The emperor laughed as if he would not be fooled.
“By now, your land will be a sea of fire. All the villagers will die, and your sister will suffer too. But don’t worry. Jim will definitely find the culprit.” “Your Majesty, what
the hell have you been talking about
since a while ago…”
It was a way of saying that he was confident because he had done some tricks in advance.
He turned around and returned to the throne.
“Sir Xavier, guide Count Cromwell to the villa.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“A detached palace…”
I slightly stiffened my face at the sudden guidance from the detached palace, and the emperor continued without looking back.
“Seeing that you are so fine despite the fact that your only blood relative is in danger, it seems that you are cold-blooded without blood or tears, or do not believe Jim’s words. If so, you should show it yourself.”
“your majesty! What the hell…!”
“Now that you’ve come to the imperial palace, rest in peace at the detached palace, Count.”
I put on a bewildered expression and tried not to back away, but Xavier grabbed my arm and dragged me.
“I don’t know why you treat me this way. I’m just for the purpose of proving superhuman…….
”
After that, I was grabbed by Xavier and dragged out of the battlefield.
At the same time, the guardsmen came out together, but the momentum was unusual.
“Earl Cromwell is troublesome to use force, so I hope he moves smoothly.”
said Xavier, expressionless and emotionless.
However, I could feel the ferocious energy hidden in it with my whole body.
“Are you trying to detain me!”
“I’m done pretending to be an Aura Master, Count.”
Sreung! Sreung!
The knights surrounding me drew their swords at the same time.
“I won’t say anything. Follow me.”
Xavier sighed and walked ahead in the direction of the villa.
As I stood still watching him like that, sharp momentum erupted from the surroundings.
Also the Royal Knights of the Empire. each one is strong
“Whoa.”
I sighed and walked away, showing signs of being forced to move.
As the site of the imperial palace was large, there were many detached palaces, and among them, I was guided to the one closest to the imperial palace.
“Don’t ever try to escape. It bothers me to see blood.”
After guiding me, Xavier disappeared and only the guardsmen remained by my side.
“ha.”
I let out a big sigh on purpose and paced around, showing a restless look.
“Why on earth…”
I muttered to myself from time to time, killing time when someone knocked on the door.
smart!
“Who are you?”
One of the guardsmen watching over me asked with a frown.
“His Highness Michaela has come to visit.”
I could see the guardsmen immediately getting nervous at the answer they heard from outside.
“Bio to let you know that no one can face the person who is here right now! Please take good care of Her Highness so that she can step back…….”
Suddenly!
Before the guard knight could finish answering, someone opened the door and came in.
The face he hadn’t seen in a long time was 3rd Princess Michaela.
“Your Highness Princess!”
“I don’t know how it happened.”
Michaela looked only at me, ignoring the guardsmen.
“Long time no see Lord Cromwell.”
“Meet Your Highness.”
I was greeted once, but it was the appearance of an unexpected person.
The princess wasn’t in the plan…….
It doesn’t matter.
“Everybody get out. I’m going to have a private meeting with Prince Cromwell.”
“Your Highness, now you can face Earl Cromwell…….”
“Is that the name?”
When Michaela asked, the lifeguard knight’s answer became difficult.
“It’s not like that…”
“Then get out of here. It only takes a moment.”
“Your Highness.”
“Are you ignoring my words?”
As Michaela spoke with twin wicks in her eyes, the guardsmen eventually began to leave their seats.
Seeing that she seemed to have more power than she thought, I wondered if the power structure within the imperial family had changed.
“Ha ha, I never thought Prince Cromwell would come here on his own.”
Everyone left, and only the two of them, Michaela, let out a sigh.
“I kind of figured it out in the meantime. Thanks to you, I was able to learn the secrets of your family and the imperial palace.”
“What do you mean……”
“Lord Cromwell, you don’t have to hide it from me. First of all, it’s important to survive, right? If it stays like this, Lord Cromwell will surely die.”
Is this also the emperor’s handiwork?
The imperial palace was a pandemonium.
Even if you say it like that, it could be a trap after all. There is no reason for Michaela to be nice to me in the first place.
“I came after receiving a call from the Duke of Morhaime. Can you trust me with this?”
“I’m sorry, Your Highness. Now I’m too tired to keep up with what’s going on…”
“I decided to take the completely opposite route from the emperor. Didn’t the Duke of Morhaime tell you?”
It was unconventional to openly call his father emperor and be hostile to him.
“Shall I say more so you can believe I’m on your side? The emperor is mad now. I don’t know why, but he’s making an outrageous plan. Thanks to enlisting the chancellor, I have all of that information as well.”
“What is that……”
“The emperor is slowly moving along with that crazy plan. If that happens, not only the empire, but the entire continent will fall into chaos.”
yes you know
Actually, I didn’t know why in the game, but I realized through this life that this was all the emperor’s plan.
“The first step is you. Perhaps the original sin you are hiding somewhere is the starting point.”
“What the hell is that original sin?”
“Ha, that’s okay. Rather, it’s nice to see a thorough look like that. But why did such a thoroughgoing person step into the limb?”
Michaela glanced at me with a frustrated look and then came closer to me.
There is no force that can be grasped by her gestures.
There was no need to be vigilant.
“Listen to me.”
She pressed close to my ear.
“For now, I’ll get you out of here with my own strength. Even if it’s hard right now, I’ll do my best until tomorrow.”
A tickling voice and breath rang in my ears.
“Are you going to let me escape?”
“is it so. I made a deal with the Duke of Morhaime, so if you don’t want to betray him, you should help him.”
Morhaime seemed to have done a good job based on the information I gave him.
To be honest, I rarely gave advice because I lacked political ability, but I did well on my own.
“Once you get out, there will be no problems. The fact that even the emperor couldn’t catch the pod was called as a superhuman proof, so once you leave the imperial palace, you won’t be able to ask why you got away on your own.”
Todo Dodog!
As Michaela’s words continued for a while, an urgent knock was heard on the door of the room.
“What’s going on?”
“His Highness Michaela! Now, Sir Xavier is said to be on his way here!”
“ah!”
Michaela’s eyes fluttered as she entered the room and saw the maid talking.
But then he said it clearly.
“As I said at the beginning, order the escorts to stop it.”
“That was…… As Her Highness said beforehand, some of the escort knights went to stop it…
”
“They say they killed me. No, they say they are coming while killing.”
“what?!”
It seemed that Michaela had figured out the plot to get me out.
“…….”
Michaela chewed her lips and fell into anguish.
Checking her like that, I sneakily checked the time.
Coming soon.
“I didn’t expect to use my hands so quickly when I heard that I had come forward.”
Michaela eventually admitted her failure and looked at me with pity.
However, after checking my expression, he asked me with a face full of questions.
“Lord Cromwell?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Why are you so relaxed? You have no chance of escape now. I had no choice but to die.”
“well.”
Time is almost up.
Just in time, he felt the ferocious Xavier’s energy gradually approaching.
thud!
“Excuse me.”
Xavier’s casual clothes were bloody all over when he came through the door. Even the sword he was holding was dripping with warm blood.
“Sir Xavier.”
Xavier, who had been looking at us with an expressionless expression that would not have thought he had killed a person, wiped the blood off his clothes and inserted his sword.
“What is that blood?”
“There were people blocking the way, so we dealt with it quickly. I will apologize separately later.”
“You mean you did that even though you knew they were my subordinates?”
“That’s right.”
Mikaela vented her anger at Xavier’s assertive words.
However, in my eyes, it only seemed like an act to attract attention.
“How dare you do that? You killed all my escorts?”
“That’s right.”
“under! Sir Xavier No matter how much you are the commander of the Royal Guards, this is over the limit……”
“You are still safe. I was worried that Her Highness Michaela might be taking her somewhere.”
Michaela’s acting didn’t work.
Xavier’s gaze was always on me from the time he entered this room.
More than that, it seems that Michaela is sincerely trying to save me. Just finding out it wasn’t a trap was a big win.
“It’s about time.”
When I quietly interrupted, Michaela turned around and looked at me as if she was talking about something.
“It was an honor to meet you both. Then see you next time.”
“yes?”
“What are you talking about, Adrias Cromwell?”
This is the imperial palace where the use of magic is strictly controlled.
It was a place where even Bahat Alven of the world could not use space magic.
But I have something beyond magic.
Tring!
[Metene’s starlight is calling.]
[Do you want to accept the summons?]
Named item, Metene’s starlight.
It is an object that performs miracles that surpass even magic.
‘Accept the summons.’
Tring!
[You have agreed to the summoning.]
[The summoning begins at the side of the caster, ‘Amy Cromwell’.]
This was the plan written on the note handed to Vivian. To contact Cromwell through the communication shop and set the time to use Metene’s starlight.
As soon as Vivian finished the communication, she wrote it down to get on the train and come to Cromwell.
“Then goodbye……”
Michaela couldn’t keep her mouth shut in surprise as she saw me disappear.
Sreung!
Awesome!
Conversely, Xavier was not taken aback at all and immediately drew his sword and swung it at me.
But I’m not the one who would fall for such an unrefined attack.
Fit!
uh? couldn’t you avoid it?
A slight cut was left on his chin, but in the end the summoning was reliably successful.
Ugh—–!
Whoaaaaagh!
“brother!”
The dazzling sight returned, and a welcome voice was heard.
But…
“What are you?”
The prisoners surrounding Amy and me were exuding a ferocious spirit.
