Children of the Holy Emperor Chapter 129

§ 129. Oracle (3)

The head of Arenja clearly told me to meet a saint, but he never specifically mentioned who that saint was.

But who would have thought that two saints would visit Seongjin at the same time?

[Look, I knew it would be like this. Somehow it seemed like that.]

It’s been a while since the devil bastard looked so proud.

[How do you feel? This Demon King’s foresight! Anyway, whatever happens, happens.]

‘Uh, okay. Wow, that’s amazing.’

Seongjin took a moment to look at the little doll-like girl and Seo Yi-seo, who was standing close behind her and growling, wary of Saju.

Anyway, talking was what I wanted too. Seongjin nodded obediently and said.

“Okay, let’s go in. “Would you like to have some tea together?”

But those words were hard to fall out of.

“Sisle, be careful! “That guy is the worst time bomb pretending to be the best Mercedes Benz guy!”

“… … ?”

So what is that woman doing from earlier?

“You told me you were wearing something strange, and what you’re wearing isn’t that bad, is it?”

“… Um, brother. “It’s hard to explain, but there are some complicated circumstances here.”

A rare look of agony appeared on Sisley’s poker-faced face.

The three sat across from each other in the Jinju Palace reception room.

This time too, Seo Yi-seo grabbed the hem of Sisley’s clothes and stood close to the girl. She then began to be wary of everything around her.

Not only was I on guard for Seongjin, I was on guard for the sofa, the cookies on the tea table, and Manager Bruno, who was pouring tea next to me, was also on guard… Wait, Director Bruno?

“What are you doing here?”

When I looked up with a puzzled expression at the neatly dressed leader filling up a teacup, Bruno cleared his throat.

“As I was passing by, I noticed that maid entering the parlor with a tea tray in tow! “If I had been just a little bit late, I would have been in real trouble, sir.”

He even feels proud, as if he has prevented a huge conspiracy.

Sure enough, Edith can be seen behind the leader, sweating coldly and avoiding his gaze.

“Thank you, leader.”

When Seongjin greeted him with sincerity, Director Bruno responded by gently pulling his mustache.

“It was nothing. “I’m just doing my duty to assist you.”

Ignoring Edith’s resentful look, Seongjin gulped down the tea.

Oh, you said you have a great knowledge of cars. Indeed. It tastes just as good as Lewis’s Melbourne tea.

So Seongjin and Sisley drank tea quietly for a while.

“Actually, there is an important matter I would like to discuss with you.”

How long has it been like that? Eventually, Sisley put the teacup down on the table and opened her mouth.

“Major problem?”

“huh.”

Sisley, who looked like he was thinking about something for a moment after being so lucky, seemed to have made up his mind and continued speaking while looking straight at Seongjin.

“It’s an important matter that involves my brother, me, and Seo Yi-seo.”

“What’s going on?”

“Before you say that, there is one thing you should know in advance. “It may be hard to believe, but in fact, Seo Yi-seo here is not an ordinary person.”

Seongjin nodded with a serious attitude.

That’s right. Normal people wouldn’t have a snowball fight with such a cute teacup.

“They say Seo Yi-seo is not from this world. “A dimension shifter who came here from another dimension.”

“Oh, really?”

That’s a really believable statement. Actually, she is a human from the normal world.

However, Sisley added in a slightly uneasy voice, wondering how he accepted Seongjin’s strange attitude.

“It’s true, brother.”

“Yeah, I know. “But how did you know that?”

“… … .”

Sisley’s eyes widen at Seongjin’s question. Seo Yi-seo, who was startled by this, turned to Seong-jin and shouted.

“Look at that, Sisley! What did I say? There’s something suspicious about that person! If we find out, it might be the second dark side.”

No, it’s dark. What are you looking at people for?

I’m just a good evil spirit who happened to possess this world.

[Darkness… okay. Was it something like that! There is a reason for this damn personality!]

No, what is this devil lord trying to convince himself of?

“It’s dangerous after all! “Shouldn’t you think again about bringing this person in, Sisley?”

“Who’s going to say anything? “Who is it that uses strange tricks to bewitch people?”

“What? How do you know [Little Word]? “The author said that ordinary people can’t feel?”

“What does that writer do?”

“Why are you trying to get information from me like that? “You made an issue of a perfectly good design before, so you too are suspicious!”

Because of Seo Yi-seo, who found fault with everything, it took a while for Sisley to finish explaining to Seong-jin.

And the facts she revealed were quite surprising.

This world is actually a world in a book, and Seongjin and Sisley are characters in the book. And Seo Yi-seo was said to be a dimension shifter who was called from another dimension through the author of this book.

“… “This is in a book?”

Seongjin asked back. Because it was an explanation that didn’t make much sense to him.

[No way?]

The Demon King also spoke as if he were puzzled.

[It’s not that there is no dimension made up of images written in books, but of course such a place has to be a world of imagination, right? But this is the real world!]

The world of original images can be the basis of images, but it is a solid original world that cannot be recreated through images. Could there be some mistake?

Seongjin tilted his head, but Sisley seemed to firmly believe that this was in a book.

“Actually, when I was young, I read that novel that Seo Yi-seo is talking about. From then on, I had a vague suspicion that this world was a lie.”

Sisley continued speaking with calm eyes.

“But I wasn’t completely sure, but recently the main character of the book, Mr. Seo Yi-seo, really appeared. And as she shared some of her information with her, she knew for sure that it was real.”

“Well, let’s just say so for now. But… … .”

Seongjin glanced at Seo Yi-seo, who was sitting on the backrest of the sofa and groaning, then checked with Sisley again.

“Is that person really the main character?”

“hmm… … .”

Sisley also seems to have nothing to say to that question.

Well, who knew? She was the new saint who was destined to destroy her. Who would have thought that she was a person with such a terrible distrust of humans.

In fact, there were some twists and turns in Sisley’s visit to Jinju Palace with Seo Yi-seo. In the morning she arrived at St. Bastian’s Church to find this woman fussing over a bundle of letters that had been delivered to her.

All of this was just a quick response by imperial officials to put their stamp on the new saint.

-What are all these suspicious invitations? Throw it all away!

-But, saint, you should at least look at this letter. Cardinal Diggory is the head of the administration. Perhaps you want to meet the saint in person and take care of her various conveniences?

Sister Electra, who was newly appointed to assist her, spoke soothingly, but Seo Yi-seo’s attitude was stubborn.

-You’re calling me out of such pure kindness? They pretend to be nice to me, but in reality, would I make this offer even though I have no value in using it? Everyone is suspicious! I will never meet anyone who suddenly sends me an invitation to meet up like this!

Then, he ended up swearing at the silver tray piled with letters.

-Shaaaaaak!

Is that really the heroine who has been made a saint, or is it a stray cat picked up from somewhere?

-Ahh! Sisley!

And Seo Yi-seo, who found Sisley, was delighted, and soon ran over to her and clung to her.

-The only person I can trust now is Sisley! I will protect you from now on!

They didn’t intend to fall like that, so they stuck together and ended up taking it all the way to Jinju Palace together.

“So, what is the major problem that involves you and me?”

“huh. Don’t be surprised, brother. According to the contents of the book, a great crisis will soon come to this world. It is said that powerful high-ranking demon kings will descend, Delcross will lose the protection of the main god and fall, and a terrible disaster will finally arrive in this world.”

“uh… … .”

Surprisingly, this is also information that is not new.

As expected from Seongjin’s calm reaction, Seo Yi-seo cried out with a crumpled expression.

“Look at me! “You already knew everything, you bastard!”

… What on earth is wrong with that woman?

“Anyway, Seo Yi-seo came to save the world from that crisis. The author of this book came to her and asked her to become his saint and save her world. He is a storyteller who travels through dimensions, and he is said to have grown up to one day become one great ruler and the king of stories.”

[What? A dimensional storyteller?]

The Demon King is startled and shouts.

Oh, is it really that Sigurd Sigurdson? He is a self-proclaimed dream demon who walks through a thousand dreams and speaks a thousand voices.

As I was looking at Sisley blankly without any reaction, Seo Yi-seo asked with a suspicious look in my eyes.

“No way, you. “Did he already know?”

“… It’s not like I know, it’s just that there aren’t people who have some doubts… … .”

Seo Yi-seo was shocked at the answer and clung to Sisley.

“and! “I’m so scared of that person now, Sisley!”

What is he saying now?

I was so dumbfounded that she just glared at me, and she trembled and pointed a finger at Seongjin.

“The writer said that! If you touch that person wrong, you’ll be in big trouble! “It is said that if you get it right, you will become the best Mercedes-Benz man who will give you everything in the world, but if you make even one mistake, you will become the worst disaster that will destroy this world!”

… Was I such a variable character in the story?

Sisley, who was swaying back and forth following Seo Yi-seo’s hand gestures, sighed softly.

“Anyway, the writer is said to have different bodies that move from dimension to dimension. It is said that his avatar exists within the Delcross ecliptic, but unfortunately, Seo Yi-seo does not know his identity. “Because he said he completely hid his appearance.”

Sisley focused his gaze on Seongjin and continued speaking in a serious tone.

“But in the book I read, there were several foreshadowings that gave me some idea of ​​his identity.”

I feel like this is the point now.

“And my guess is that the writer’s avatar is probably Riccardo Scarzzapino, brother.”

“… … !”

“The person who is your brother’s friend.”

… This is the reason why the leader of Arenja told me to talk to the saint first!

* * *

Sisley stayed at Jinju Palace until almost lunch time and talked with Seongjin.

And when she returned to St. Bastian’s Church a little tired, Sister Ursula, who was waiting for her, handed her a small box.

“Saint! “A gift has arrived from Prince Owen.”

“gift?”

Oh, come to think of it, I received a letter from my brother not long ago.

-I will send a gift to you and your father soon.

Sisley opened the box with joy.

But what actually popped out of the box was a small, unidentifiable piece of pink cloth.

It was slightly longer than the palm of your hand, had strange embroidery on it, and had an elastic string at the back.

… What is this?

Sister Ursula, who was looking at the gift with curious eyes, suddenly frowned and shouted, wondering what she was thinking.

“Egg, what is this? It looks like some kind of underwear. “You’re crazy!”

“no way… … .”

Brother Owen said it was a gift after a long time and he was sending me something like that?

As Sisley was tilting his head, Seo Yi-seo poked his head in from next to him and said.

“what? Is this a sleeping mask? “It’s really cute, but somehow it doesn’t fit the times.”

“eye patch?”

“Yes, I cover my eyes when I sleep so I can sleep comfortably.”

Wow, it looks like a rabbit! It’s so cute!

As Seo Yi-seo continued to admire, Ursula, who had made a fuss about underwear, averted her gaze with a shy expression.

However, Seo Yi-seo, who had been examining the eye patch for a while, suddenly opened her eyes wide and shouted.

“uh? what? “Is the item information displayed here?”

“information?”

“Yes, absolutely. This is a thing of our world, Sisley!”

Then, Seo Yi-seo stroked her eye patch and began to read something carefully in the air.

“… Pangea Chronicle?”
