I can see emperor stats-Chapter 168
midnight
Joo Yu-gyeom, the young emperor of the East Continent!
He was born as the only prince in the royal family of Hwan, whose hands were precious. It was not difficult for him to ascend the throne. He has no competitors. It's not like there are other forces holding him back.
'But that wasn't necessarily a good thing.'
However, when he ascended to the position of emperor, the fact that he had no competitors was not necessarily a good thing. Due to the sudden death of the emperor, he had to rise to the weighty position of emperor of the empire at the age of only a teenager.
Even if he learned royal studies from a young age, how much would he know how to deal with his subjects at that age?
What he relied on was the courtiers who naturally took care of him from a young age.
“Twist… Please trust only your beliefs. If there are those who ignore Your Majesty because he is young, we must punish them severely!”
Of course, among the eunuchs, the person who held the highest position was Yeosang, the head of the alumni.
Alumni is an intelligence organization directly under the Emperor! He, who had all the information of the court, gained the trust of the emperor, so there was nothing to be afraid of. And it was also true that he saved the young emperor's face in the early days.
And decisively, there was a force that could stop Yeosang's solo drinking. That is the generals of the imperial golden army.
“Your feelings are right, but aren't you overprotecting His Majesty the Emperor?”
“Why are you doing what His Majesty is supposed to do?”
Every time that happened, Yeosang would cling to the emperor with a face full of resentment.
“Your Majesty, these people are slandering me for an absurd reason.”
Of course, there were really jealous eyes among them, but there were also those who expressed loyalty out of fear that the authority of a eunuch would become too strong.
So, in the early days of his accession, state affairs went well in his own way. The forces of Yeo-sang and the military officer were tight, so in the end, the one who raised his hand as the emperor won.
However, since the 'Daejanggun's Rebellion' ten years ago, the forces to check Yeosang in the imperial palace have completely disappeared.
After that, Joo Yu-gyeom felt that something was going wrong, but there was no power in the imperial palace to correct it.
'I made a mistake. At least I should have left someone who could act as a check.'
Originally, unless the emperor had overwhelming charisma or absolute power, he had to coordinate his subjects well to maintain the imperial authority, but he was too young and failed to walk the tightrope.
.
.
.
.
and now!
He was threatened with his life by a mysterious man who called himself the Crown Prince of the Western Continent.
“You have something to say to me this late at night?”
"exactly."
“… … !?”
Joo Yu-gyeom couldn't erase the suspicious feeling when he saw the sudden appearance of Julius. At the entrance, even the masters of his alumni who escort him were strewn about.
"haha… … .”
He backed away in surprise and fidgeted with something in his sleeve.
Follow me!
"hmm?"
A noise of unusual frequency resembling the sound of a bell rang from within the sleeve. He pretended to be perplexed and signaled outside.
And then, three or four masters rush to the sleeping quarters again.
“Your Majesty the Emperor!”
“Are you all right!”
Seeing that, Julius clicked his tongue.
“Tsk! You are doing something useless.”
Pod!
“Cuck!”
The alumni masters who ran after receiving a secret signal also collapsed at Julius' light gesture.
Fain!
Then, the signal bell that Joo Yu-gyeom secretly shook is also shattered.
"this… … .”
His face was stained with an earthy color. Julius realized that if he put his mind to it, he could take his own life at any time. He opened his mouth, struggling to maintain the dignity of an emperor in a life-threatening situation.
“Tell me what you want.”
Julius' answer was brief.
“As I said, I came because of yesterday’s negotiations.”
“Huh… … .”
Joo Yu-gyeom had doubts in his eyes as if he could not understand. If it's a negotiation, isn't there something you said yesterday?
“Didn’t you say you would give an answer later if it was a negotiation?”
"huh?"
On the contrary, Julius tilted his head as if in great surprise, and Ju Yu-gyeom, who was listening, also looked at him with a puzzled expression.
“Is that your decision? I never felt that way.”
“What do you want to say?”
Anyway, Joo Yu-gyeom, who was attacked at night, asked nervously, and Julius smiled and continued.
“I heard that in the East Continent, the seat of the emperor is the seat of all people.”
“I don’t even call them that.”
“But can you say that yesterday’s negotiations were with someone like that?”
“… … !?”
Joo Yu-gyeom was taken aback when he heard that. he's not stupid But why did he suddenly break in and bring up such a story at such a late night?
"It's ridiculous. If you had broken into the emperor's bedroom just to say that... … .”
Seeing him reacting coldly, Julius smiled and spoke more directly.
“I feel that yesterday's meeting was not with His Majesty the Emperor, but with the naked eunuch next to me. It couldn't possibly be called an imperial conference!”
“… … .”
Joo Yu-gyeom's face was crumpled like a piece of toilet paper. Actually, it was true, but what kind of madman would say such a thing in front of the emperor?
'It's the first time I've heard such insulting words in my life.'
[Ju Yugyeom]
Current Status: Embarrassed, Angry
'As expected, no one pointed out the reality harshly. That's why I'm angry.'
Seeing that, Julius smiled inwardly. He is a young guy only on the outside, but if you add up his previous life, he was well past middle age, so he had the ability to control his expression.
However, even if Joo Yu-gyeom is an emperor, he is only in his twenties! Even with a calm and gentle disposition, there was no way he could hide his anger when he heard these words.
For a moment, he forgets that he is being threatened by Julius and gets angry.
“Goyan! Are you insulting me now!”
Fire!
The majestic spirit that leaked out slowly pressed on Julius. Sensing it, he muttered to himself.
'For now, it's passed.'
Should it be called Junchi even if it rots? The dignity of an emperor remained in him. Although it is regrettable to be swayed by the treacherous servant, there is nothing that the opponent cannot understand because it is a demonic religion.
'Then I have to get them to come to their senses first.'
Julius raised his head and looked at Yugyeom Joo.
“Insults are my own words!”
Tring!
[The skill 'Emperor's Dignity' is activated (Rank A).]
[Charisma and charm increase significantly.]
"omg!"
For a moment, Joo Yu-gyeom was breathless. Pushing away the sense of intimidation he exuded, the momentum expelled by Julius covered the spot.
His dignity as an emperor is C rank. However, Julius was an A rank two levels higher than that.
Pars.
As he and Julius stared at each other, a noise resounded as if something was colliding. It was not their spirit as warriors, but their spirit as emperors colliding with each other.
Of course, the result is a landslide victory for Julius!
Wow!
The momentum like a tsunami ate away the emperor of the East Continent, Yugyeom Joo. His vision darkens, and Julius moves away in an instant.
The emperor's dignity meant the difference in status as an emperor. Because of the drastic gap in his momentum, there was an illusion in his eyes now.
'this is?'
In an instant, Julius, who was not much taller than himself, became huge like a mountain. It soars through his sky that his head touches the clouds.
And a voice like thunder resounded from that far-high place.
“Emperor of the Hwan Empire! You made three mistakes!”
“Ugh!”
Julius' voice struck him like a thunderbolt.
“The first is inviting me to the imperial palace to play tricks on me! Did you really call me for negotiations!”
“… … !?”
As he said, the purpose of Yugyeom Joo inviting Julius was because of Yeosang's wicked tricks.
“The second is to dare to put a subject at the same level as the emperor in a meeting between empires! Isn't this a great disrespect to the Bourne Empire!”
As long as the talks were held, the two empires were negotiating at the same eye level. However, having a statue of a woman who was neither royalty nor anything next to the emperor's throne was considered a major disrespect in terms of diplomacy.
“And the last!”
Julius unleashes his final fury. In fact, this is the biggest reason why he felt that this place was a piece of shit yesterday.
“You did all of this not at the will of the monarch, but only at the instigation of the eunuch Barbarian! Do not lower the dignity of the Empire!”
Quarreureung!
Thunder strikes again with voices. The momentum like a tidal wave makes Joo Yu-gyeom far away.
and the next moment.
flash
“Hut!”
Joo Yu-gyeom, who came to his senses, was frightened and took a few steps back.
Only Julius and the two of them were still standing in the quiet bed. As if the anger that had been pressing him like a tidal wave had dissipated, Julius just stared at him quietly.
"I am… … .”
Julius shook his head at him who was about to say something while staggering as if his head was still dizzy.
“Wait a few days for an answer. Until the next visit, I expect you to act like an emperor.”
“… … !?”
Immediately turning his back, Julius smiled softly.
'This would have been an appropriate shock therapy. As you can see, he's pretty smart.'
Seruk.
Unexpectedly, Julius didn't even listen to the answer and flew out of the room. The reason soon became clear.
Hiss!
Hey profit!
"your majesty! Are you okay?”
“How dare you!”
Dozens of shadows again appeared in front of him as he crossed the corridor of the main palace where the emperor resided. In fact, the emperor's escort was not that lax. I lost contact even for a few minutes, but I can't help but notice.
"thank god! His Majesty is safe.”
"phew."
If something happens to the emperor, their necks run away too. Sparks flew in their eyes as they let out a sigh of relief. It was because I saw a black shadow running down the hallway.
“Follow me!”
A piercing high-pitched voice unique to eunuchs echoed through the hallway. The elite of the alumni began to pursue Julius. But it was only for a moment that they lived and so on.
Hey profit!
Wild curses erupt from their mouths as they run with the sound of the wind.
“Damn it… … .”
“This rat-like foot is really fast!”
The movements of Julius, who ran while wearing the mask, were too fast. I didn't even step on his foot a few times, but he was tens of meters away, so they had no time to catch up.
Seeing the back of Julius, who had moved farther away, they chewed their lips.
'I'll miss it!'
The moment they felt that way, a red figure shot from behind at terrifying speed.
“Eh… Useless bastards!”
“… … !?”
“Feeling like a woman?”
The identity of the red seal was Yeosang, the leader of the alumni. Before he was the real power of the imperial family, he was the best master of the imperial palace! Befitting his reputation, he was on a different level from other alumni masters.
“Twist… Others may be able to get away with it, but I can't!”
Wow!
His body seemed to split into two for an instant, and the shadow stretched. This is the so-called heterogeneous state. In an instant, Yeosang, who was several tens of meters ahead of his subordinates, used the Lee Hyeong-hwan position in succession.
Joo-wook!
Each time it is cast, the distance is shortened in an instant. The first one was unable to catch up with his subordinates and went out several tens of meters away. I caught up with Julius by about 2/3 with the second Lee Hyeong-hwan. And the third one!
Papapat.
Finally, the female statue approached within arm's reach of Julius' back.
“The reckless bastard who broke into His Majesty's quarters!”
Hwareuk!
The female statue's sword, which used Hwaryeong's divine power, was swung by Julius, emitting terrifying heat. Yeosang was confident that he could kill the intruder with this blow.
water.
“… … !?”
However, the feel of the sword against Julius' back was strange. It didn't cut, but it felt like I was hitting some kind of raw rubber.
saaaaaa
Not only that, but a cool chill was felt from the back of Julius. Yeosang felt suspicious and tried to step back.
But it was too late.
Quick!
“Ugh! my arm!”
It wasn't enough that the woman's sword, which had been emitting hot flames, cooled down in an instant, and even his forearms were all frozen. He screamed and tried to distance himself.
However, Julius' movement was faster. He turned and kicked the woman in the abdomen with his foot.
puck!
“Cuck!”
The statue's body floated in the air and was blown away by the alumni masters who were running.
"omg! Feminism!”
“Are you all right!”
The following masters missed the time to catch Julius as they were taking care of themselves after accepting the statue.
Seruk!
Just like that, Julius' body disappeared in an instant into the darkness of the night.
Roaring!
Chii profit!
Yeosang, like a master of martial arts, quickly raised fire and melted the ice, but his face was still blue.
“Feeling! Shall I call the senator?”
"Not required! Rather, His Majesty the Emperor!”
The woman hurriedly ran back to the main palace. When he saw that the emperor was safe, he prostrated himself and bowed.
"your majesty! I am very glad that you are safe.”
Unexpectedly, Emperor Joo Yu-gyeom maintained a calm attitude.
“I feel like you did a good job because of me. Did you catch the culprit?"
“Unfortunately, I couldn't catch it. Have you seen his impression?”
Because the intruder was wearing a mask, Yeosang could not pinpoint the identity of the intruder. Of course, there were those who guessed.
'It must be the goddamn prince of the West Continent or one of his subordinates. It's unexpected that there are masters I can't match, but if it's only with Your Majesty's orders!'
As soon as the emperor issued Yunheo, Yeosang planned to mobilize all the forces in the imperial palace to capture Julius and the people of the western continent.
However, the emperor's reaction was different from what was expected. Surprisingly, he shook his head.
“As a result of what I saw, he was not a Saekmokin. He will not be a person from the Western Continent.”
For a moment, Yeosang looked at Yugyeom Joo with a bewildered expression.
"your majesty? How... … .”
Yugyeom Joo frowned slightly.
"So you're saying I saw something wrong?"
"ah… no."
The attitude of the person who was attacked was like that, so no matter how much he was, there was no way to argue further. Joo Yu-gyeom swept his room with a calm expression and opened his mouth.
“Anyway, the investigation should start tomorrow. Let’s go to another palace and rest.”
"All right."
The alumni masters, led by Yeo-sang, surrounded him and began to move to the detached palace. As he walked slowly, he was lost in thought.
'I'm sure you'll come back... … . Are you saying you have the confidence to break through the security?'
Due to Julius' actions today, the security will be tightened several times from tomorrow. Joo Yu-gyeom was interested in how Julius would come.
There is also something that I realized anew while having a conversation just before.
'You expect an emperor-like answer from me?'
His gaze was on the woman statue who was making a fuss here and there at the head of the escort.
It was a sign that his mind had changed slightly.
* * *
next day.
Julius was naturally under investigation.
“Huh… Is there someone who tried to murder His Majesty the Emperor here?”
"That's right. Excuse me, but where were you last night?”
“Of course I was sleeping soundly. You guys must be very concerned that something like that happened.”
"hmm… … .”
The female statue scanned Julius' entire body with suspicious eyes. However, he could not pierce the counterargument with his eyes. First of all, it was impossible to figure out that Julius had mastered martial arts, so he was in a state of delusion.
'Does it really have nothing to do with it? Even if there is nothing, he's the one to be eliminated anyway.'
“Okay… All right."
In the end, Yeosang, unable to secure any evidence, withdrew. All he could do was call his fellow masters to surround Julius' residence.
“Now that His Majesty the Emperor is surprised, it seems that this second meeting will be delayed a bit. I hope you have a good rest tonight... … .”
“Okay.”
“Giggle… Please don't see me at night.”
The words were kind, but it was nothing more than a threat to stay quietly in the house if you don't want to die.
'He's a funny guy. Even if I'm still, I'm thinking of doing harm. But tonight it doesn't matter.'
Of course, regardless of what the goddess said, Julius intended to rest well tonight. His plan is going smoothly.
'All that's left is her turn. I hope she can convince the emperor well.'
