Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 217
217fury
Clap!
The knights lined up on both sides fired their swords in unison and then pulled the hilts of their swords in front of their chests..
The white blade appeared to be cutting between the foreheads, showing the highest level of sword rites that a knight could perform..
and.
Saruk…….
I heard the sound of silk clothes grazing the floor..
This was also proof that the surroundings had become quiet..
Not only the subjects who announced the emperor's appearance with loud voices, but also the knights who drew their swords did not move as if they were dolls..
Of course, we who were kneeling did not raise our heads first..
After a while, I felt a figure gently sitting on the throne.…….
Clap!
The sound of knights striking swords.
Next, I felt eyes poking my back and the back of my head. Anyway, out of the three, I'm the one in the middle..
This means that I have no choice but to speak out as a representative..
“…I meet your Majesty the Emperor.”
It seems like the modifiers are a bit lacking, but the minimum etiquette was followed. In the first place, there was no royal court etiquette that I knew of, so this was the best..
‘Hector would have taken care of it..’
If he were here, he would have said the same thing as the greeting I gave him, but it would have been three times longer..
Suddenly, I became irritated, and at the same time, my anger about Molvius also rose..
I just should have hit Lena one more time, whether she came in or not..
It was then.
“raise your head.”
A voice interrupts my meaningless thoughts.
It was a voice that seemed to be whispering right in my ear, but was strong..
It's static like boiling lava, but it feels like it has explosive potential.?
I slowly raised my head.
I was overwhelmed.
“…….”
Of course, it's my first time seeing Yongan..
Of course, the current emperor has heard quite a few rumors about the purgatory ritual..
An emperor famous for being a saint.
I heard that he is a typical person with a weak body but a strong mind..
‘…….’
The jewels and accessories scattered all over the body and the silk clothes embroidered with gold thread did not seem excessive at all..
Even I, who basically hates luxury, felt that way..
He is draped over the throne in a rather loose posture, wearing several layers of loose, bright red long robes..
Unrivaled beauty that looks like it was carved from jade and red hair that symbolizes the royal family..
The person whose color appears particularly clearly may be due to their skin being so white that the veins are visible..
“…….”
After all, you have already seen the royal family before. That's two people.
The princess was an eccentric person who dyed her hair black, so in the end, the person I was comparing it to was the prince.…….
glen scarlett.
A boy who hid his dark hair.
However, the prince no longer hesitates to reveal himself, and he clearly has a unique presence.…….
I thought that his remarkable presence would fade if I stood here now..
“…Congratulations will come first.”
The Purgatory Emperor spoke in a strange tone..
“Badknicker, Goodspring, and Rubetta. Your achievements today are no less than the feats of your ancestors who protected the empire in the distant past. I would also like to express my sincere admiration for your actions in protecting the Academy and, by extension, the system from those insidious evil forces..”
“I'm devastated.”
The Purgatory Emperor smiled slightly and continued..
“One of the royal virtues that I received from the Emperor when I was young was the principle of punishing one's best. Do the young men who saved the empire want something from Jim??”
‘It comes out like this?’
I was quite embarrassed inside..
Of course, you can't just recite what you want in front of the emperor..
‘…I'm sure you're not going to call me here and end it with just words.?’
I feel a little anxious..
It wasn't my intention to eat soybean paste in the first place.…….
Still, being human, I was naturally curious and even excited about what reward the emperor would give me..
Of course, I can't reveal my inner feelings like that..
No matter how thick my face is, I know how to discern that much..
I couldn't help but sigh inwardly and open my mouth..
“The praise is heavy. Please inform me that I was merely carrying out my proper duty as an imperial noble..”
“Hoo…….”
The corners of Purgatory’s eyes were bent..
I could feel the guys on both sides looking at me with slightly surprised eyes..
It was proof that I was showing an attitude that did not suit me..
“You even have humility at that age. Look at the pillars of empire. The future of the empire is so bright..”
The Emperor of Purgatory clapped his hands softly, and the ministers standing one level lower than the throne responded with applause..
It's like watching a Peking opera..
When the applause died down, the Emperor of Purgatory spoke..
“But that can't be possible. If it weren't for you, things would have gone the way that disgusting church wanted. The empire's best and largest educational institution would have become a terrible place to train enemies..”
This and that, what is the true intention of this person?.
It was difficult to guess Purgatorio’s inner thoughts..
Strangely enough, it's because he's someone who can't read my prayers or mood..
Separately, I had to accept the fact that I was somewhat overwhelmed by the other person's intimidation..
This was an amazing experience for me as well, and it was the first time I realized that even people who do not have a high level of inaction can demonstrate that level of presence..
It is truly the vessel of an emperor..
Eyes like the jewels of purgatory moved..
“Charles Rubietta.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“I know that Rubietta is having trouble with the fishing rights in the Hablu territory. There will be good news soon.”
“ah… … ! Seong-eun is devastated.……!”
A dazed look flashed across Charles' face..
I also felt half of the joy... Hablu is a city I have heard of well..
It was quite a famous port city, but because the nearby sea area overlapped with the territorial waters of a nearby city, there was a serious dispute over fishing rights..
It's probably a conflict that lasts generations, but should I say emperor as well?.
In one word, you can guarantee the resolution of such conflicts..
‘But apart from that…….’
I felt somehow uncertain about the emperor's words and attitude.…….
That feeling became even stronger the next moment..
“Seren Good Spring.”
“Yeah, yeah!”
“They say that you, Barter Goodspring, and Butterfly Goodspring also performed amazingly in this incident. He said he stood out especially among many young people. Lord Hatem will be pleased.”
“Wow, that’s too much praise.…….”
“hmm. Jim also knows Lord Hatem's deepest wish..”
The Purgatory Emperor smiled and continued speaking..
“Tell this to Lord Hatem. I will leave the position of Grand Master of the Imperial Family vacant..”
“……!”
A brief remark spread a ripple..
I also had no choice but to look at the Purgatory offering with startled eyes.…….
This is because the grand master of the imperial family literally refers to a being who can teach the royal family - that is, a teacher..
This was the highest honor that could be achieved as a master in one field, and at the same time, it was an unprecedented opportunity for a nobleman..
Of course, the position of the royal family's teacher has great political implications as well..
This is because it means that most political opponents will disappear..
Of course, at Good Spring, there won't be many opposing political opponents.…….
What does Badniker, one of his few political enemies, think about this??
The Purgatory Emperor spoke in a humorous tone..
“There is a saying that children are the most transparent disciples. This is because children naturally encounter their parents’ teachings in their daily lives and absorb them without adding or subtracting. Through the activities of the three Good Spirits in this incident, we were able to get a glimpse of Lord Hatem's usual personality. You will have enough to become a Grand Master..”
“Oh, I'm devastated.……!”
Seren also bowed his head..
Unlike Charles before, he didn't look very happy, but he looked twice as surprised..
‘Now that I think about it, I think Barter could have been here..’
That guy's performance wasn't shallow either..
Since he is Goodspring's eldest son, I thought he might be ahead of Seren in terms of justification..
‘…Or on purpose?’
What is the reason for calling Seren and not Hatem?.
“and… Luan Badniker.”
“yes.”
Without a moment to think, my turn has finally come..
I let go of my expectations and waited for the words of the purgator..
This was because I became convinced of the form in which interest was given as a reward..
‘A reward given to a family, not an individual.’
In a way, it can be seen as a royal way of conducting himself..
In the first place, if stopping the Demon Lord's descent is given as a reward to an individual, there is a high probability that the method will be monetary.…….
In order to give money without losing face to the imperial family, you would literally have to open the national treasury..
‘It's only good for badniks..’
As someone who has no sense of belonging to the family, the situation is bitter..
Of course, if Sanghyeolgong finds out about this, I think he will give me something extra.…….
Is it because he became a priest?.
I'm not happy about being involved with Sanghyeolgong..
however.
“I will give you the middle name of 'Q'.”
“……!”
The emperor's next words rang in my ears like a thunderbolt..
The air was shaking.
A much bigger ripple effect than if I brought up the topic of the Grand Master..
For example, the difference between a gentle breeze and a strong wind.?
If the emperor had not been here, astonishment might have erupted from all directions, like a typhoon..
“lung, majesty……!”
Finally, despite being rude, one of the old ministers spoke up..
“Luan Badnicker's performance was certainly dazzling, but it is still too early for him to be given a middle name.……!”
“I'll buy it back! Even a three-year-old iron-blooded warrior wouldn't have been this fast.……!”
“Please let us know.……!”
“stop, stop.”
The emperor waved his hand with an annoyed face, and the ministers' mouths were covered..
And the Emperor of Purgatory looked at the ministers who were pleading with only their facial expressions and said,.
“I am fully aware of your concerns and burden. But wasn't it a middle name established for times like this? Let me ask you one thing: has there been at least one person in recent times who directly prevented the descent of the Demon King??”
“…….”
“There would not have been any among those of similar age, let alone those who were old-timers..”
Purgatory wiped the smile off my face..
“… Appearance, age, experience, race, and status. In my empire these things should not be a barrier to judgment. Emptiness must be judged only in terms of merit..”
‘-ah.’
At that moment, goosebumps ran down my spine. It was a moment when a strange sense of discomfort turned into confidence..
First thing I realized.
The emperor talks about our achievements in an impartial manner and praises us, but…….
During that process, there was a word that wasn't said at all..
A word used by people outside the imperial palace to praise the protagonists of this activity..
The most representative pronoun referring to those who have achieved great feats.
‘hero.’
Purgatorio seemed to shy away from the word itself, and perhaps that was true..
I thought I knew why too.
‘It's because of Heros.’
The Purgatory Emperor clearly recognized Heros and kept him in check..
So the words I just said are also…….
At first glance, this may seem like a compliment to me, but it should never be deceived..
At this moment, I thought of my middle name as well as the Royal Knights..
Dean Alderson's words that there was already a movement to fill the seven vacancies also came to mind..
All criteria are based solely on skill.
‘Is this the tendency of purgatory?.’
Fanatic obsession and desire for talent.
The moment I realized that, somehow this being no longer felt like a person resembling a lotus flower or jade.…….
It felt like a literal purgatory, trying to grab me with a giant hand and imprison me for a long time..
“…….”
I'm still on my knees, head down.
However, the gaze of Purgatory Emperor that is touching the top of my head is hot..
‘This… If I accept it obediently, it will be really fucked up.?’
This is different from Sanghyeolgong or other middle names..
At this point, it is obvious why the emperor is making such an unconventional proposal..
It would be for the country to have complete existence, but if I accept the emperor's proposal now, my life will be tied to the imperial family from now on..
Rather than going to Yeongsan, you may become a member of the imperial family and never be able to escape the system..
‘the problem is…….’
How dare you refuse the power given by the emperor himself? This is it..
Even when I thought about it until steam started to form in my head, I couldn't come up with a sharp number..
“-What should I do? Luan Badniker.”
The Purgatory Emperor laughed..
“Of course, I will follow your orders.?”
Fuck.
What should I really do?.
