Children of the Holy Emperor Chapter 193

§ 193. Sigismund Order (2)

That afternoon, the imperial palace.

Chloe Mia de Valois got off the carriage and crossed the Silver Rose Labyrinth garden with a little excitement. There was a formal invitation from Princess Amelia.

Recently, she was frequently visiting the imperial palace under the pretext of studying with Prince Mores, and even so, she was greatly envied by the ladies her age.

However, as the prince was leaving on a business trip, he personally introduced himself to Princess Amelia. She promised to have tea time with the princess on a regular basis, and this was her third visit.

‘If this continues, becoming the next social queen is not my dream!’

An exchange with the beautiful princess, who is said to be the Emperor’s favorite.

Even if the princess marries a foreign royal and leaves Delcross, the deep friendship she developed will be a great help to Chloe in her future social activities.

‘Besides, the princess is such a wonderful person!’

On the day she was first invited, Princess Amelia unexpectedly made this request to Chloe. I want to study Breton and other foreign languages ​​properly, so I ask for regular help in the future.

And surprisingly, the princess spoke Breton and Lohan at a fairly high level.

Since Chloe also did not yet have a deep knowledge of the Lohan language, she happily decided to hold a study group of sorts to exchange help with the princess.

It has already been a thousand years since the imperial language became the official language of the continent.

There was a prevailing perception that wasting time learning a foreign language was inefficient.

Nevertheless, Chloe had a lot of fun learning foreign languages.

What words are derived from one etymology, and what differences do they currently have in each country?

What difference in nuance occurs if the sentence is translated literally? How are small grammars different?

Chloe loved the moment of realizing those minor differences and the process of adjusting the misalignments to fit together.

And recently, when she began studying with Princess Amelia, Chloe had the amazing experience of broadening her horizons of knowledge.

The conversation with the princess, who had a lot of knowledge about various countries on the continent, gave me a vivid feeling of being connected to the culture and history of that country, which was just a simple foreign language.

As a result, rather than building good connections, I found myself truly looking forward to meeting the princess.

On the contrary, it was clear that Chloe also left a good impression on the princess. After having her first tea time, the princess smiled brightly and said this to Chloe.

-What Mores said was true. He was said to be a talented person who will lead the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the future… … .

Ministry of Foreign Affairs? I just want to be the queen of society and live a wonderful life that everyone can see?

However, from that day on, Chloe sometimes imagined herself becoming a competent government official and achieving success.

‘Did you arrive a little early…? … .’

In front of the quaint drawing room, Chloe thought as she adjusted the hem of her pretty purple skirt. Since the feast day of Saint Grazier was just around the corner, she was deliberately dressed in a color reminiscent of the uniforms of the knights of Saint Grazier.

Chloe’s curly hair is also decorated with a lot of purple flower grass, whose flower language is [sacrifice]. This is also the virtue that the Knights of St. Grazier considers most important.

Although others sometimes glare at her for giving it too much meaning, the princess immediately recognized the things Chloe had carefully prepared the other day.

‘So this time too… … .’

Chloe was led into the living room, her cheeks flushed with anticipation.

“Lady Chloe! Welcome. Ah, it’s already getting closer to Saint Grazier’s feast day.”

Princess Amelia greeted her with a smile as bright as a rose.

Look, I thought the princess would properly recognize this.

“I guess I came too early. But what is all this?”

As I sat down on the sofa and looked around, there were a lot of small pieces of cloth scattered on the tea table, along with a belt ring.

‘… Sewing it yourself?’

As expected, the princess’s pretty fingers were full of puncture wounds here and there.

What on earth can the princess do while hurting herself like that?

While I was wondering that, I saw a few small, crinkled pockets on one side of the table.

“pocket… Did you make it, sir? “What is it for?”

Then, in an instant, a dark expression crossed the princess’s face.

“It’s no big deal, Lady Chloe. Actually, I had a nightmare last night. It was a scary dream where the cute little Saint Aurelion fell down, down, and was torn to pieces. “When I woke up in the morning, I was so anxious that I thought I had to do something to this little statue.”

So, he was making a pocket for the little saint by hand.

“If that’s the case, you have a dedicated maid, right? “Will you make a pretty pocket for me?”

“I don’t know how to explain this, Chloe. “Somehow, I feel like this will only be meaningful if I touch it myself.”

Chloe looked at the princess’s desk with a bewildered expression.

There, a bald old man wrapped in colorful silk is smiling with a kind face. A statue of Saint Aurelion that Princess Amelia proudly showed off when they last met, saying she had received it from Prince Mores.

This is what Chloe thought at the time.

‘Prince Mores really has no interest in the detailed meaning of the gift… … .’

In any case, it seems that the brotherly love between the brothers in the prosperous family is not usually very deep, as they put so much love on such an insignificant gift.

Thinking about her brothers who went on business trips abroad and didn’t have any gifts, Chloe felt a little envy towards the princess.

“It looks simple when you think about it, but I have no idea why it shriveled up like this after I finished sewing it.”

Amelia looked at several failed projects and sighed.

The pocket she pictured in her head actually had a separate model. It was the white lace pocket that Sisley showed at Jinju Palace during lunch.

-Last night, I had a nightmare about the bald old man being engulfed in flames. So this morning, Seo Yi-seo and I made a pocket for the old man to fit into. Since several layers of consecrated silt cloth were sewn together, it will definitely be a small blessing on Mores’ journey.

This was why Amelia, who was already tormented by nightmares, decided to make the pouch herself with great care.

“I also want to bless that child’s journey. I wanted to give at least a little help like this… … .”

Because the princess looked very discouraged, Chloe couldn’t help but roll up her sleeves.

“So, wouldn’t it be okay to get a little help? “I’m not confident in sewing, but if we do it together, we can make prettier pockets.”

So the two put aside their foreign language studies and devoted hours to sewing.

It was ironic that Chloe, who picked up a needle and thread for the first time, actually sewed much more skillfully than Amelia.

After struggling for a while, the two were eventually able to create a clumsy pouch that fit the little saint.

It was a bonus that a small flower pattern was embroidered on the end of the pocket, and a cute cone-shaped hat suitable for a bald old man was created.

‘… There’s something satisfying about it.’

The textbooks that I worked so hard to prepare were put aside, and the flower grass that decorated my hair was disorganized and a mess.

‘But isn’t this good as is?’

Chloe, who was looking at the princess with a bright smile that brightened up the living room, had been smiling happily along with her for some time.

* * *

Aside from being sensitive to presence, being blind is extremely uncomfortable.

It was a natural fact, but Seongjin was feeling that fact to his core after only half a day in the carriage.

Time passed quite quickly as I meditated, but as I closed my eyes, small problems that I had not even thought of continued to arise. Even though Edith was there to help and support him closely.

In the end, out of frustration, I tried to secretly lift the bandage while no one was around.

[I’m watching everything, Seongjin Lee.]

In my head, the demon lord warned me in a gloomy voice.

[I will tell everyone. Then he will tell everything to your guardian.]

‘… … .’

Who is the protector, who!

Seongjin, who was momentarily speechless, belatedly protested to the demon king, but his hand was secretly lowered from the bandage without his knowledge.

This is because it immediately reminded me of Lord Masain’s face with a hard expression.

[joy!]

The devil bastard snorts, then sinks into his head again and begins to ramble on about something.

What on earth has that guy been doing since a while ago?

And when dinner was over, Manager Bruno, who had not been seen all day, visited Seongjin. For some reason, he looked very tired.

“There was a little problem at the imperial palace today. “His Majesty was unable to regain consciousness until the afternoon, and Arranger was put on complete alert.”

what? By afternoon? That long?

Seongjin jumped up from his seat without even realizing it.

Sir Sharon had already heard that a gap had opened in the imperial palace last night.

However, I thought that if it was a success, it would have been completed on its own. Didn’t he prepare cause and effect in advance in preparation for such a time?

“Ah, you have now returned safely and returned to work. Rest assured.”

The leader said this as he caught Seongjin, who was about to run out of the carriage.

Although Seongjin sat down again after those words, he couldn’t completely relax his mind. Because he remembered the terrible motion sickness he experienced last time.

It was so hard when I was there for a short time, is he okay now?

“According to Arendja’s information, the period of time that [the gap] was open was not very long. “There is probably another reason why Your Majesty was unconscious.”

Director Bruno was one of the few people who really knew about [Gap].

Even when he was originally a close associate of Seonghwang, he knew that strange things that were difficult to explain would sometimes happen around him.

And now that he has become Arenja’s salary thief, most of the restrictions on information have disappeared.

Thanks to this, Seongjin was able to hear a more detailed explanation of what happened last night from Manager Bruno.

Strange phenomena surrounding Seongjin, who fell after cutting down the magic tree.

About the demonic energy that flocked to Seongjin and the sacred energy that suddenly appeared and purified everything.

“okay. Lord Masaine… … .”

Seongjin became solemn for a moment when he heard that Masain Gyeong, who had not been able to properly take care of his body because he was busy protecting himself, had suffered severe erosion that was almost impossible to recover from.

Sir Martha, you have reason to be angry.

If you say you want to hit someone, I think you should be willing to give them at least one hit.

“But fortunately, the same energy that drove away demonic energy and restored my body also completely cured Lord Masaine’s erosion.”

It wasn’t just Lord Masain who suffered erosion. No matter how much you protect your body with aura, it is impossible to completely block magical energy like smoke floating in the air.

Most of the knights who participated in the battle experienced large or small erosion.

However, the erosion, which should have been suffering for a while while being treated by priests, was swept away by the holy energy and completely disappeared.

Even the materials held by the top are the same.

A significant number of items that would have been completely unusable due to contamination by demonic energy were purified and preserved. Thanks to this, we were able to somehow supplement the daily necessities that were lacking until the mill returned to the top.

“Archduke Sigismund and the Wolf Knights seemed to believe that the divine blessing bestowed on the Holy Family had caused a miracle… … .”

However, not only Director Bruno but also Seongjin could easily tell who had caused the miracle.

While they were unconscious, that gentleman must have come to visit them.

“So, is your father okay now?”

“Yes, sir. “I heard that you also received a regular report from Sir Sharon earlier.”

“okay.”

And there was silence in the carriage for a while.

“… “I can’t just ignore this?”

Seongjin, who was contemplating something with his mouth closed, eventually opened his mouth in a slightly calm voice.

“Who is saying that they can use those materials as they please? “The person who completely purified the unusable items was the wrong person?”

I don’t know, but the fact that Mr. Seonghwang couldn’t wake up for over half a day may not be completely unrelated to this incident. So, you can’t just ignore that effort, right?

“I will make the Lord Milo and the Margrave pay for it.”

“yes? “How?”

When Manager Bruno asked again in confusion, Seongjin twisted the corner of his mouth to the side and gave a mischievous smile.

“I have to sell it to the Margrave for money. “Isn’t it obvious?”
