I can see the Emperor's stats-Chapter 194
'This hunch has never been wrong! If I follow him, I'll get into life-threatening trouble again.'
In the meantime, he was mainly burned by the nonsensical (?) situations that Julius created. There is only one conclusion.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t follow you right now. Please get permission from your brother and come.”
Hearing that answer, Galeus burst into a small laugh.
"haha… Could you please return your heart?”
“None.”
“I’m sorry.”
“… … !?”
Leon flinched. It was because Galeus, who had been conversing at a distance, started walking towards him with great strides.
"what?"
“Sin is asked for later. Neither His Highness the Prince nor I can disobey the will of great people.”
“What crazy!”
Leon started to walk backwards with an expression of boredom.
Doesn't that mean you're going to take it by force? Don't be shy, it's just kidnapping!
“Go away.”
In an instant, Galeus came to a position where he could reach Leon if he stretched out his hand. But there was someone who stood in the way.
Fit!
“Huh?”
With a very slight sound, Galeus took a step back. The reason for his resignation was simple.
squeak.
The chest part of the pure white robe he was wearing had been cut off. If he hadn't backed down, blood might have splattered on him as well as his clothes.
“I will not allow access beyond this. Apologize for the rudeness and leave.”
In the end, Beatrice drew her sword. She quickly moved to Leon's side and whispered.
[There is no time. Please listen carefully to what I have to say.]
“Hoo… … .”
Galeus gave a slight exclamation. This is because, even in the eyes of the western continent's best warrior, this blow was quite sharp. Getting him back is not something anyone can do.
'yes! That cold woman is finally paying for her meal!'
A blush came over Leon's face when he saw that she had made Galeus retreat. She thought she could somehow escape. However, a shadow fell on one side of Beatrice's face.
[Immediately, go outside and ask for help.]
[…] … !?]
Leon's face hardened again at the sound of her muttering quietly.
“What about that sound?”
“I don’t have the confidence to last long.”
* * *
“She was like this a week ago?”
"That's right."
“… … ”
Julius was silently staring at the bed. What he feared had actually happened.
“What are the details?”
Haynes replied with a worried look on his face.
“The senator says there is no danger to life. The problem is that consciousness is not coming back, but as a result of the examination at Jegal Sega, it is said that it is a temporary internal injury and it will only take time to recover.”
"phew… That's fortunate.”
Beatrice was lying flat on the bed. It was already in this state when Julius arrived. As soon as he arrived, he had to hear a report like thunder from the sky.
“Leonhard gone missing? And Beatrice is out of her mind?”
“It's all my negligence as the leader. Punish me!”
Likewise, the knights of the Sharnos Knights who had been left behind to escort Leon were eager to kneel. However, Julius' expression was calm.
“Wake up. Judging from the state of affairs, it seems that even if the Lords stepped forward, it would have been of no use.”
"but!"
“It is not your fault. I need to think for a moment, so can you step back?”
“… All right."
After answering firmly, Julius bit the knights. There are too many things to think about now.
“… … .”
Again he looked slowly at Beatrice lying on the bed.
'I don't see any noticeable trauma either. Then there is only one conclusion... … .'
His eyes turned to the building he could see out of the window. The office where Leon lived is in a miserable state, as if it had been hit by a bomb. But the person who actually fought the battle is fine except for losing his mind? This meant only one thing.
'It's clear that a master who can subdue her lightly has arrived. And judging from how she saved her life, they might be related somehow!'
Thinking this far, the suspects were quickly narrowed down. How many people can easily handle her rising to the ranks of superhumans?
'Come to think of it, Daejae also mentioned that place and his expression changed, right?'
Julius muttered with a suspicious look on his face.
“Could it be Seongguk?”
Many questions and hypotheses passed through his mind.
* * *
Eventually, when Julius came out, there was someone waiting for him. He was scratching his head with a puzzled expression.
“Grunt… I'm sorry. I didn't know that this kind of situation would come because I was watching you too.”
No matter how great it was, this situation was quite painful. It was because he was also nicely stabbed in the back of the head.
'The cunning spirit of Seongguk is also doing quite well.'
“… … .”
After thinking for a moment, Julius opened his mouth.
“Now tell me without hiding anything. What the hell are Seongguk doing?”
Julius had already defined the Holy Kingdom as an enemy. I had thought about it before, but there were not just one or two suspicious things.
'First of all, it's a past life. Why didn't they help me?'
Apparently from Galeus, they said that their enemy is a church that worships evil spirits. However, Julius did not receive help from the Holy Kingdom in his previous life. He even pushed for an arranged marriage with Beatrice to ask for help.
In addition, he received quite a lot of attacks from the church in his previous life. Unlike now, there were many simple assassins, but why didn't they help Julius even though they were enemies of the kingdom?
[The Seongguk is absolutely neutral. You cannot participate in power struggles within the empire.]
They used to dismiss Julius' requests with such words. And, according to his guess, that's why the kidnapping of Leon happened now.
The Emperor looked at Julius' eyes and exclaimed in admiration.
“How much did you get? He's a quick-witted guy.”
“… … .”
sereung
The great emperor drew the sword from his waist again and smiled.
“Then, it’s hard to believe at first glance. Go to the Holy Kingdom and see for yourself.”
* * *
The clash happened in an instant.
Wow!
Along with the sound of something exploding, countless pieces of wood and stone dust flew in front of Leon's eyes.
“Ugh!”
Leon groaned and quickly covered his eyes and nose and ran out of the room. He is trying to ask for help, just as Beatrice said. But the next moment!
"omg!"
He couldn't even budge. A terrifying force instantly bound his entire body.
"this… … .”
Leon looked around with a desperate expression. The dust slowly cleared, revealing the situation inside. The inside of the building was blown open as if a bomb had hit it. In the aftermath of the clash, the walls on all four sides were blown out.
“… … .”
Beatrice lay on the ground as if dead.
“I didn’t kill him.”
And Galeus strides toward Leon again with a calm expression.
“Then let’s go to the Holy Kingdom.”
Fire!
As soon as his hand touched Leon, a dazzling light rose.
* * *
"Im here."
“… … !?”
Leon's eyes widened. Now, in front of him is a huge palace with white walls. As far as he knew, there was only one building like this on the continent.
"no way… The White Palace?”
The White Palace is where the pope of the three great denominations resides! In other words, it was located in the capital of the Holy Kingdom. But Leon was in the distant East Continent just a moment ago, so how did he get here?
That question was answered by Galeus.
“The one I used is an [item].”
"item?"
“It is a precious tool given to us by a great person for the sake of our kingdom.”
In his hand was a half-burnt piece of paper.
