Children of the Holy Emperor Chapter 264

264. Hwangdo-ro (1)

Seongjin spent some time quietly waiting for the chase team that left for Magyeong to return.

Other than practicing or occasionally going to see Max, I was still in my room.

If possible, I didn’t want to encounter the people at the count’s residence. Just looking at the servants, as well as the Marquis Baek family, reminded Amelia of her past, making her blood pressure rise and her spine tighten.

Instead, Seongjin was able to focus on training for the first time in a long time.

After receiving Masain’s detailed guidance and meditating with Director Bruno, I felt as if I had returned to the Pearl Palace.

“I miss it a little. Those faithful days when I devoted myself to training at the training center all day.”

“…Are you serious about that, my Majesty?”

Sir Carmen, who was training next to Leader Bruno, asked Seongjin as if he wanted to hear all the crazy things.

“Tsk. Of course I’m serious. That means you’re the least bright.”

“yes?”

“Didn’t you join before Sir Claudia?”

But why is it so much less bright than hers, huh?

“Ah, I’m so pissed! Please stop making comparisons like that… Eup!”

“…….”

“…I’m sorry.”

There were so many other things going on here and there that time just flew by just to sort them out.

Thanks to this, it was Dasha who became busy. I heard that in order to carry out the work requested by Seongjin simultaneously in the Imperial Capital and Regina, the Monkey Watchtower was requested to recruit a large amount of personnel.

“Sir, are you really pushing this forward?”

And every time she saw Seongjin’s face, she asked worriedly.

“Then. If you’re not really doing it, what’s the point of all the trouble you’ve gone through so far?”

“But isn’t it too absurd to say it’s a business?”

The situation in Delcross was not much different from the Earth where Seongjin lived. This is because it was not uncommon for children from high-ranking, prosperous families to recklessly and ambitiously start businesses and then ruin them.

However, it is surprising that a young prince who knows nothing is starting a business that spans the continent.

“Well, Branch Manager Schmidt has already laid out the basics. We have also sought some advice regarding profitability, so there is no problem.”

Moreover, in order for Logan’s present being prepared to be completed, the groundwork needs to start in Regina right away.

“But no matter how much I think about it, I don’t think it will make a profit. Considering maintenance costs, it would be perfect to run into a loss….”

“Uh-huh!”

Basically, in any business, if you can hold on until it stabilizes, half the problem is solved.

Since I have my father, my capital will never dry up, and there will be no competing businesses, so if I wait, I will find a place someday.

Plus, I have a secret item that I made together with Dexter.

“What on earth is that?”

“I’ll show you around in Regina on the way back.”

Haha.

Seongjin smiled confidently.

It was around that time that Adjutant Francis arrived in Sigismund.

* * *

“…Are you really saying this is a Glatzer Troll?”

Francis pushed up his glasses and examined the shaved ice with sharp eyes.

Instead of No. 1, which was destroyed in battle, it was Bingsu No. 2 that Dexter asked to adjust. Seongjin had parked it in the back corner of the count’s residence.

‘Originally, I had planned to enter the country proudly with as many family members as I could.’

The prevailing opinion was that if gigantic beasts walked in a line, the people in the imperial capital would feel scared.

It was as clear as day that ice monsters weighing tens of tons would destroy the well-maintained Imperial Road.

In addition, considering the opposition of the Orthodox Church, an agreement was reached with the Holy Emperor to take only one designated holy relic.

As such, a lot of effort went into shaved ice No. 2.

Seongjin proudly opened his arms wide towards Francis.

“It’s not a Glature Troll, it’s Shaved Ice No. 2, Sir Francis. And now it’s a holy relic officially approved by the Holy Assembly!”

“You know and I know that’s bullshit. And please don’t give strange names to things that are meant to be relics.”

Perhaps because he had to be away from Director Katrina for a long time, Francis became more grumpy than usual.

However, even he couldn’t hide his admiration for a moment when he saw the shaved ice No. 2 that Seongjin showed off.

“His Majesty suddenly asked us to designate a demonic beast as a holy relic, and I thought this was some kind of crazy order. But this is quite enough….”

Well, it wouldn’t be unreasonable.

Bingsu No. 2 was no longer an ignorant ice block monster, but was closer to a statue of a knight wearing a rather decent-looking ice armor.

The armor with the god’s symbol embossed on the chest resembled the full armor of the Holy Knights. On the head, instead of a rough face that looks as if it were roughly made of ice, is the delicately carved ice helmet of the Holy Knights.

Where is that?

He wears a long sword made of ice on his waist and a huge cloak with the Lord’s emblem engraved on his back, so it can only be described as a noble knight given by the Lord himself.

In addition to being sleeker overall, the size was also reduced to about 5 meters, and the weight was also greatly reduced.

At this rate, you won’t have to worry about holes in the ecliptic road every time Bingsu No. 2 walks.

“I’m going to take this and give it to my father. Wouldn’t it be nice to display it in the main palace lobby?”

Is proud. I feel like a dutiful son who gave his parents a new car.

“Well, okay. I guess it’ll be okay.”

Francis took out a thick document and began to diligently edit something into it.

“What is that?”

“This is a draft of the documents to be submitted to the Holy Assembly. Do you know how easy it is to designate a holy relic? We are planning to compile a lot of historical materials based on the amazing continental tour. All the details must match at that time so there will be no noise later.”

After responding like that, Francis narrowed his eyes and focused on filling out the documents.

“First of all, let’s call this Glacher Troll the relic ‘Knight of Grace’. Wouldn’t it be better if it’s intuitive and plain?”

It was an action that completely ignored the original name of Shaved Ice No. 2.

Seongjin glared at him with dissatisfied eyes, but he paid it no heed and began to scribble corrections with a single stroke of his hand.

Hmm, it would be better to completely change the expression to ‘Knight of the Lord’ rather than ‘Giant of the Lord’. There are many things that don’t fit the description of size. Should we change the expression, ‘It is said that when he raised his huge body, it was like a mountain rising’, to ‘When the knight raised his sword, he was so majestic that it seemed as if he could split the mountain’? It would be better to completely delete the eyewitness account of a giant walking across Lake Salz. If you went into the center of a lake that size now, you would probably be submerged up to your head. Wouldn’t it be a little funny? Other than that, I think the overall description in the book may be a bit problematic. Ah, for this part, it would be quicker to completely overhaul [Exploring the Miraculous Continent]. And again… … .

Seongjin, who was listening next to him, was very embarrassed.

“You’re even editing books that have already been published?”

Then Francis responded calmly without even looking up from the documents.

“Yes, well. Isn’t [Exploration of the Miraculous Continent] a banned book that will never see the light of day if left as is? This was a planned procedure from the time we decided to exclude it from the list of banned books.”

“…….”

“Why are you surprised when the scriptures have been revised several times at a holy meeting? Still, it will be quite a sight to see when the revised first edition is published in the Imperial Capital. How about purchasing one for yourself? It is rumored to be quite interesting.”

Tear up the scriptures and change them? For Seongjin, who lived on modern Earth, this was something he couldn’t even imagine.

Seongjin, curious, glanced sideways at a document that Francis had finished editing.

-On the day that Granius visited the Devil’s Palace under the order of the Holy Emperor, auspicious light was shining from all directions. It is truly the divine will of the Lord being exercised on this earth. Then the representative of God said, “This is to prepare for the dark shadow that will one day fall on the kingdom of the Lord, so send down the divine giant and send down a knight who has received grace…” … .

They wrote a myth.

Isn’t this a full-blown fabrication? Where did your conscience go?

“Your Majesty’s work has always been like this since long ago. Even when you drove out the Dark Church from the Ecliptic, you completely tore up and changed the scriptures. Everyone is muttering about it, but it is a fact known to everyone who knows.”

“…Father?”

“Yes. It’s not just your Majesty. Among the successive emperors, there was one who cut out an entire chapter of the scriptures. It was so long ago that we no longer know the contents. It was just that it contained a secret story about the founding of the nation, or Delcross. There are a lot of rumors that it was an apocalypse that predicted the destruction of .”

Francis, who had said that much, narrowed his eyes and glared at the document as if there was something blocking it.

“Well, it cannot be denied that it is the most efficient way to rule the empire, but it is necessary to consider whether it is the right attitude as the representative of the main lord. To be honest, your current majesty is also a person who has built a wall with his conscience at all, isn’t he?”

Then Seongjin burst into tears and opened his eyes.

“But doesn’t the fact that you are here mean that you were on Lord Katrina’s orders? Then the leader is also an accomplice. Why are you doing this only to my father?”

Then it was Francis’ turn to get upset.

“No, the one who gave the command and the one who received the command are the same?”

“When has your father ever forced an unreasonable order on the leader? I guarantee you that leader Katrina never had any questions about her father’s orders.”

Sir Katrina is said to be like her father’s mirror, carrying out her father’s orders. Then does that mean that she either has no thoughts of her own, or is just as far from a conscience?

Then Francis put the documents down on the floor and shouted.

“Ik! How can you say such a thing about our fair and fair leader? Everything the leader does is right!”

“Then everything your father does is right!”

“Yes, sir! I will say so! Ah, it’s not like the kids are fighting right now, what is this!”

“Don’t be ridiculous! You’ve already committed all kinds of disrespect, so why are you pretending to give in now?!”

The two fought uselessly for a while, but finally stopped the fight thanks to the intervention of Masain, who came running after seeing the commotion.

“Francis. You’re usually fine, but I don’t know why people turn into idiots when it’s only Director Katrina who gets caught.”

Masain, who was scolding Francis, turned his head to Seongjin and sighed softly.

“Why do you all do this when you’re with me, Logan or Francis…?”

“……!”

Seongjin was greatly shocked.

No, this is my fault now, Lord Martha? Is that it?

[Then whose fault is this?]

‘shut up!’

Anyway, Francis, who had finished the report on Shaved Ice No. 2, this time traveled around the Sigismund Territory to investigate eyewitness accounts of the ‘miracle’.

However, gathering testimonies from the people of the territory without much fabrication was simpler than expected.

Because it was such a big deal, there was no panic, and because the battle took place in the dark, few people remembered the details of Bingsu’s appearance.

-The ice soldiers given by the Lord appeared with divine light and defeated the demonic beasts!

That wasn’t holy light, it was probably a flashbang.

-The brilliant light that bounced every time God’s apostles swung their fists!

As I punched recklessly, the ice on my fist broke and bounced in all directions.

-Where is that? The huge Sigismund badge proudly flew on his back, and the main god’s symbol was clearly engraved on his chest!

It seems that Sir Valerie’s clumsy appearance looked quite convincing.

“Everything has been resolved with this. Now, even the Crusade will not stumble over this matter.”

Francis, who had been diligently organizing the remarks, spoke in a relaxed manner.

His mood also improved with the anticipation that he would be able to return to the imperial capital earlier than expected.

“Well, it seems like it was somewhat vague.”

Seongjin was still in a dazed mood. It seems like something is solved so haphazardly.

Unfortunately, many of the soldiers who witnessed the shaved ice in broad daylight were killed. Including old Sir Hans, who guarded the Gorge Fortress.

This means that there are not many people left who can disagree with this story.

The blunt Orden is silent, as if his silent mouth has been completely shut.

-So, they weren’t just glamor trolls, but knights of grace, or messengers of God? Oh oh! As expected! Somehow, from the moment I first saw it, I felt a sacred energy!

Sir Oscar, who was a decent witness, went one step further and went to all the bars in the estate to spread the rumor.

Now the bard Laurent had come to compose and sing an absurd song based on his testimony.

The prince firmly raised his hand and pointed to the white horizon.

Behold those cold invaders! That is our old enemy!

At that light gesture, the knight of grace bestowed by the Lord swings his sword… … .

Seongjin, who was watching the unfolding situation in bewilderment, could not help but shake his head in excitement.

Anyway, what is a world without proper media?

“Well, isn’t that a good thing? It’s nice that there’s a lot less work to do thanks to this.”

Francis, who completed all the work in just two days, gave instructions to Seongjin with a rare bright face.

“Then, I will go to the Imperial Capital first. Please, Your Majesty, please take your time and come back slowly. Although the documents are fully prepared, it will take some time to convene the Holy Assembly and designate the ‘Knight of Grace’ as a relic.”

After Francis left the estate in peace. Soon after, the chase party returned to the estate. Including Logan and Lilium’s detachment, still wearing their white, shining uniforms.

Now the moment has truly come for Seongjin to leave the territory.

“Margrave Hendrik. If you have time, please speak with me for a moment.”

And Seongjin visited the Margrave’s study that evening. Before he returned to the imperial capital, there was still some negotiation to be done with him.
