Children of the Holy Emperor Chapter 117

§ 117. Scarzzapino (4)

After a period of bickering, the two finally reached a dramatic conclusion.

Seongjin’s attire was adjusted to a rather gloomy color. In the end, Amelia couldn’t give up on the ‘Delcross’s Black Devil’ concept.

However, in the case of Amelia herself – in the face of severe opposition from Madame Justine, who thought that a completely black dress would be too revealing – a bold red fabric was chosen.

In any case, it was clear that it was about 30 million years away from this year’s trend that Madame was talking about.

“I am… I am the best designer in Delcross… . You should never have the stigma of being behind the trend! Now, think! There is no concept I cannot fit, and there is no design I cannot bring to life. I must save it… … !”

Madame, whose conversational tone seemed to be provoking someone, was scribbling like crazy in a design book with wide eyes. And next to him, Amelia, looking somewhat satisfied, sips her warm tea.

Sister Amelia, you are strong!

In many ways.

“I think the first design was pretty good, sister.”

Seongjin said, pushing the cookie in front of her.

In fact, even to Seongjin, who was unfamiliar with design, Amelia, wearing the dress she sewed for the first time, looked as pretty as if a white flower had bloomed.

Then Amelia spoke with a somewhat bitter smile.

“okay. That person was like that too. The day she wore that dress, she told me that she was like a rose covered in morning dew. “At that time, I firmly believed that it was sincere.”

Her eyes darkened as if she was reminiscing about some distant past.

“… It’s hard to explain, but Mores. This birthday party is a very important day for me. So it has to be different from then. “I don’t want to be like that day, when I did something I will regret forever.”

“… … .”

Sometimes Amelia was like this. She worries about things that haven’t even happened yet and speaks as if she’s regretting a mistake from a long time ago.

Seongjin had a hard time asking her anything, fearing that it would open up a deep wound that was not healing.

“… This outfit will turn out well too. “It will definitely suit you.”

“Yes, I trust Madame Justine’s insight. “Anyway, I think it will take a little longer. Would you like to go in first?”

“No, let’s wait. “I’m going to take a quick look around downstairs.”

Seongjin left the special room, leaving Amelia and the escort driver behind.

[why? What’s going on?]

The Demon King looked puzzled and asked Seongjin, who was moving without hesitation as if he had some goal.

‘Uh, there’s a guy downstairs that’s bothering me.’

The words that I would come and take a look around were not empty words. It was because I felt a very disturbing presence from downstairs earlier and my body started to itch.

This is the sign of a fairly strong Auror user.

Aura activation was quite useful. Although he is still narrowly below the level of a high-ranking knight, his subversive spirit is enough to put even the high-ranking knights of the imperial palace to shame.

But this is not a training ground or a battlefield. What on earth are you doing, spouting speculation so openly? Are you going to fight?

The more rice grows, the more it lowers its head. The higher the level of practice, the more carefully one must manage one’s energy.

However, in this capital where strong Auror users are rampant, he is someone who clearly shows off his presence like that. What kind of confidence does this guy have?

You must have sensed me and the escorts, but you’re doing that, so you’re making a fuss with me, right? yes?

[…] Hey, why are you smiling so much? I feel anxious for no reason… … .]

‘What am I?’

[…] … .]

Why is this guy shaking again?

How long did it take to walk like that?

A woman’s voice was heard, trembling with fear.

“… I don’t know why you’re suddenly doing this to me. “What on earth are you telling me to say?”

And then a man’s voice is so cold that it makes you lose your temper.

“I want to get a confirmation on my promise to keep quiet.”

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t act like a fool! “I’m sure you must have received word of something from Duke Xiao, right?”

At the end of a deserted hallway. Two young men and women were standing there facing each other.

The woman was glued to the wall, blushing, and a burly young man with a lot of aura unleashed on her was putting pressure on her.

“You had better not test my patience, Lady Scarzzapino.”

Seongjin was dumbfounded for a moment.

Is that guy doing that to ordinary people? People who are not Auror users will be completely intimidated without even understanding the explanation.

Look, that. I’m almost crying.

‘Can I leave it like that?’

[Let’s not care. It’s between a man and a woman, right? Contrary to what it seems, it may be a surprisingly simple matter of politics.]

‘… her?’

These days, I sometimes feel like the demon lord’s common sense is quite close to human.

‘Even if it is a scene of sexual violence, it looks like it will soon turn into a crime scene?’

However, there was no need to worry about whether Seongjin should intervene.

Suddenly, the young man looked back with bloodshot eyes and growled at Seongjin.

“Stop peeping like a rat and get the hell away!”

Wedge.

Intangible life rushing from the guy at that moment.

The force was so violent that, if you were a clumsy Auror user, your whole body would have frozen or wet yourself, as if you were a rat in front of a snake.

Seongjin slowly put one foot forward, took a stance, and raised the corners of his mouth.

‘… ‘This bastard?’

Still, when he saw the young man in front of him, Seongjin understood his confidence to some extent.

Isn’t he quite young compared to his level of seniority?

Additionally, what I sense from this young man is a strength that goes far beyond his Auror activation.

A type of so-called genius. This means that he is someone who can do twice as much work with the same amount of Aura as others.

“Squire… No, it’s like a low-level knight. “It’s pretty good.”

The young man also opened his mouth as if he was surprised when Seongjin’s reaction was different from what he expected.

He turned away from the woman, took a step forward, placed his hand on the sword at his waist, and continued speaking.

“I commend you for having the guts to not do anything. But you are not my opponent. “Don’t worry about me saying nice things and leave this place.”

No, but I don’t think that’s possible. The woman’s eyes became the size of a flower lantern, as if she recognized Seongjin.

I don’t know who he is, but I know Mores.

“Just do it in moderation. “What are you doing now, capturing someone who isn’t even an Auror user?”

“… “You better understand the topic properly and find a place to go, kid.”

The young man takes a step forward and gains momentum.

The woman behind her had a pale face and pursed her lips as if she wanted to say something, but it seemed like she was completely overwhelmed by the guy’s force and couldn’t even get her voice to come out.

“hmm… … .”

I don’t really like warnings like this, but out of courtesy, I have to say it.

“I will give you a warning. “If you knew who I am, you wouldn’t be able to do this.”

Then the young man sneered.

“It’s ridiculous. “That is what I will say.”

Even considering that I can’t recognize Mores’ face, seeing him so confident makes him seem like a great nobleman somewhere.

“I didn’t know there would be someone in the imperial capital who wouldn’t recognize me. Is he a foreigner?”

“… “I wondered what kind of confidence he had, and I realized he was suffering from celebrity disease.”

“kite… what?”

“Your head is not normal.”

“… Don’t warn twice. “I don’t want to put any effort into dealing with a brat, so get out of my way when I’m speaking kindly to you!”

Although he was saying that, the young man, Orden, was quite embarrassed on the inside.

On the outside, it looked like he was just standing there staring at his opponent, but in fact, inside Orden’s body, the aurors were constantly changing, being woven and untied.

From type 5 type 8 to type 7 type 2, from there again to type 5 type 5 type, and then type 8 type 8… … .

Of course, I wasn’t planning on pulling out my sword right away, I was just planning to use my momentum to suppress that arrogant kid so he couldn’t even make a sound.

‘… ‘I can’t reach it!’

No matter how much force I used and how closely I looked, I couldn’t see any openings.

I couldn’t understand. The boy’s auror activity was clearly at the level of a low-ranking knight at best.

The absolute amount of Aurors between junior and senior knights far exceeds the gap between children and adults.

I did… … .

In fact, the boy was responding appropriately by casually accepting Orden’s momentum. Even the seasoned knights in Sigismund’s territory cannot respond so flexibly to Orden’s momentum.

And here’s the strangest thing of all.

‘The spacing is different… … !’

There was a spot within the gap between the boy’s sword that Orden felt was truly dangerous.

This means that the distance that the boy is most confident in is not actually the distance between the swords.

‘What on earth is that boy? ‘Where did that guy suddenly appear?’

Orden secretly grabbed the handle of his sword, breaking into a cold sweat.

Meanwhile, despite his relaxed appearance on the outside, Seongjin was also quickly thinking on the inside to find a way to overcome this uncomfortable situation.

‘It’s still not enough. ‘There aren’t enough Aurors!’

Hunter Lee Seong-jin’s reputation is beyond words as he can’t easily overwhelm even such a clearly visible guy.

I thought I had accumulated auras fairly quickly so far, but is it still too much to deal with flying and crawling guys after only a few months of training?

Just by reacting to his force one by one, minor pains are already starting to arise here and there in my body. This means that the Auror is used unreasonably.

To deal with someone who is close to a senior knight, the absolute amount of Aurors that Seongjin possesses is too small.

-There may be only one way to solve this problem. From now on, you just need to become so strong that you don’t need to do anything like that.

At the time, I thought it was an insincere remark, but in the end, what Logan said was the correct answer.

It would have been possible to do something if they had just attacked from the other side, but this kind of battle of momentum was ultimately a loss for Seongjin, who had to resort to unreasonable management as time went by.

‘… ‘Holy shit!’

As I gathered auras into my arms and left leg to match the man’s changing momentum again, the joints of my shoulders and knees began to creak. Seongjin became anxious.

‘If things continue like this, today I’m going to hear a shout out to that gentleman again?’

Fluffy!

at that time. I felt a small wave that seemed to wash over my chest, which was temporarily in a state of aura depletion due to gathering auras into a large body.

‘This… … !’

Aurors filling the passageways of Seongjin.

This enormous amount of auras, which the Holy Emperor had dragged in to cause an aura storm in the royal palace back garden, strangely maintained their water-like properties and filled the passage. It does not mix with the surrounding auras, nor does it mix with the auras through which Seongjin moves, but rather stays together and maintains its own unique properties.

But this too is an Auror.

Until now, I had left it alone because of the successive words.

‘Perhaps… … .’

As Seongjin carefully raises his will while contemplating the inside, small water droplets begin to bounce from the surface of the auror as a gentle wave ripples. and.

Slurp.

The water droplets quickly dissolved in Seongjin’s body, which was in a state of aura depletion.

‘possible!’

If Seongjin puts his mind to it, he can melt those watery auras with his own aura! It’s like having an extra auror tank that can be used at any time.

-Keep in mind that when you pull the water in a channel, the things on the other side are pulled in with it.

Seonghwang warned like that.

but.

‘If it doesn’t work out… … .’

This was when Seongjin was strengthening his resolve, glaring at the young man who still showed no signs of losing momentum.

“Archduke Sigismund.”

Suddenly, someone’s cold voice came from over there.

Seongjin and the young man, who had been concentrating all their attention on each other, were startled and simultaneously turned their heads towards the direction from which the sound came.

“… … !”

“… Sister Amelia?”

There was someone there that no one expected.

Amelia appeared alone at the end of the hallway without an escort, looked at the confrontation for a moment, and then began to slowly walk in this direction.

Again and again.

With only the sound of shoe heels hitting in the quiet hallway, the sharp energy coming from her gets closer as if piercing.

“Quit threatening my brother immediately, Grand Duke. Otherwise… … .”

Amelia warned, glaring straight at the young man.

“I will let you experience for yourself what kind of weapon an Aura-loaded dress pin can be.”

It was a voice that was so cold that one could feel a chill.
