Children of the Holy Emperor Chapter 274

274. On the dream road (3)

“The battle in the dark of night was like a nightmare, but we moved forward, relying on the glory emanating from the Knight of Grace and believing in God. “After everything was over and I suddenly came to my senses, wouldn’t this have suddenly appeared before the Knight of Grace?”

The prince held the object in his hand high so that the audience could see it. It was an ice heart that was transformed into a small key through Dexter’s editing skills.

Oh oh-

Voices of admiration erupt from everywhere. The faintly glowing key was unusual to look at.

Is that all? The paladins, who had strengthened their eyes with aura, were able to clearly see the main god’s symbol engraved on the small key. If you do it, you may not know what it is, but it is definitely a sacred item.

“At that moment, I knew instinctively. This is another sign given by the Lord, the key to activating the Knight of Grace. Even after saving the Sigismund Spirit, the Knight of Grace was willing to remain in this world to protect Delcross.”

Roaring Roaring-

That strong and gigantic ice knight continues to protect the imperial capital and the imperial palace!

When they heard the story, which they had only heard about through rumors, directly from the prince, the crowd’s vague doubts gradually turned into excited expectations.

“… “Isn’t this a beautiful story?”

Sir Agnes, who was next to Wesker, smiled softly and whispered.

She, the leader of the Knights of St. Grazier, was already over 70 years old, and had left the 4th missionary corps heading to the south in charge of her adjutant and was remaining in the imperial capital.

“Maybe it’s because I’m older now, but I like dream-like stories that connect everyone as one.”

I guess that means it’s a dream-like fiction. He probably sensed that much of the prince’s remarks were laced with bragging.

But even so, Sir Agnes’ eyes were extremely affectionate, as if she were looking at her cute grandson doing a trick.

“So do i. Hehehe.”

Wesker, who responded like that, found it difficult to refrain from bursting into laughter the moment he looked at the throne.

This is because I read a faint, momentary expression on the face of Seonghwang, who was quietly keeping his mouth shut.

-Do your best, son.

Wesker worked with Seonghwang for a long time, and had resorted to unjustified means on several occasions.

There were also accidents that narrowly crossed the border of fraud. Of course, this was possible thanks to the implicit approval of the Emperor.

But I never thought the day would come when I would see him racking his brains over someone else’s fraud!

“I thought about it when you took out the prisoners from the capital guard, but aren’t you the type of person who does really cute things?”

Wesker basically liked that kind of trickster temperament.

To her, who thought it was okay to sometimes cross the line to achieve a desired result, such a person was not a criminal, but simply a person with whom she could communicate.

In a way that was different from the success, I felt that I and Prince Mores seemed to get along quite well.

“Ah, I am afraid. That unknown thing is deceiving everyone! If we just leave it like this… … !”

Of course, not everyone was favorable.

Write it!

Cardinal Maier noticed several times, but Cardinal Benitus was already so agitated that he could not pay any attention to those around him.

At that time, a heavy voice stopped him.

“Cardinal Benitus.”

A voice that cracks ominously, as if scraping rusty iron. It was Sir Leander, the head of St. Terbachia.

A face as insensitive as a withered old tree looks down at the cardinal with a rare cold glow.

“Prince Mores has served as an advisor to the monster task force at the earnest request of Leandros. And he came back with a remarkable major that no one could disparage. So, if you continue to say bad things to Your Majesty and Your Majesty, I will not wait any longer.”

The leader of all exorcists. Rumor has it that this is Sir Leander, whom even the devil is afraid of and avoids.

When his gloomy and ominous gaze met him, Cardinal Benitus was startled and closed his mouth like a mute.

“Hoo.”

Sir Agnes, who was looking at the scene, whispered in surprise.

“I’ve been at odds with you in the imperial palace for a long time now, but this is the first time I’ve seen you go out of your way for someone like that.”

Wesker nodded in sympathy.

Leandros was certainly a man with many secrets.

Like Director Katrina, he is considered one of the Holy Emperor’s closest associates, but not much is known about him other than the fact that he is often away from the imperial capital due to work.

Meanwhile, the prince’s report had reached its end.

“So I would like to dedicate this evidence of glory to my Father, who is God’s representative and the supreme ruler of the continent.”

The heart of ice was handed to the valet and then transferred back into the hands of Chamberlain Lewis.

And finally, after receiving the item, Seonghwang looked down at the back of the prince’s head with an incomprehensible expression for a moment.

“As reported by Prince Mores, I heard that there was a lot of praise for the main deity and the royal family in the local area. “It is said that the Lord always comes where His will is, so wouldn’t that mean that the princes’ sincerity for their subjects was so extreme?”

Soon, Seonghwang’s calm voice echoed throughout the conference hall.

“Mores, Logan. Despite your young age, you have done excellent things as members of the Holy Family. “As your father, I am very proud of you.”

“… thank you.”

For some reason, the prince hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth a beat later. It was a very simple greeting, considering the lengthy rhetoric that had been made earlier.

Seonghwang smiled faintly and finished speaking.

“Today is a truly meaningful day. “We will hold an imperial palace banquet to commemorate the princes’ safe return.”

* * *

Seongjin has already made refrigerators that will fit into most palaces. And it became a big topic among the workers preparing the dinner.

“It’s a small low-temperature warehouse made of magic ice that doesn’t melt.”

“Egg money! What is the devil? “So it’s not a cursed item?”

“haha. It’s okay, chef. He said that there was a strange phenomenon where the ice did not melt around the land where the Knight of Grace landed. “They say they were made by digging them up, so they must be sacred items, right?”

Anyway, the refrigerator received great reviews from everyone.

Only Seonghwang looked at the small refrigerator that came into the office and muttered with a slightly pale face.

“Head… … .”

“yes? your majesty. The head? “Do you have a headache?”

“… “No, it’s nothing.”

If Seongjin had known that fact, he would have said it with glee.

-Oh, do you recognize your father? This is the noble sacrifice of shaved ice number 4. It is a refrigerator that divides the entire body into 11 segments, and a refrigerator made of heads was placed in the office. haha!

Anyway, the ample refrigerators were delivered to each palace.

Not only the main palace, office, Jinju Palace, Silver Rose Labyrinth, and Blue Rose Labyrinth, but also the twins’ mansion and the palaces of each empress and empress.

Of course, these were not controlled separately by the ice heart.

I didn’t have a lot of ice hearts, and it wasn’t something I had to worry about being stolen like the cryogenic carriage I had entrusted to Schmidt.

Wouldn’t it be troublesome if the user accidentally opened it and the entire palace’s refrigerators came together and returned to Shaved Ice No. 4?

And there was a gift-giving ceremony earlier than expected.

Before attending the imperial palace banquet, for some reason, all the brothers and sisters flocked to Jinju Palace.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t meet you first, brother.”

Sisley approached me with a happy look on his face. She was a girl who looked like a doll but now had a more lively expression than before.

“But I promised my brother that I wouldn’t miss the knights’ training.”

“okay? good job. “Training must always be done sincerely.”

Speaking like a person much older than him, Seongjin once again realized that the little boy in front of him was even younger than he thought. He also said he was happier than he expected.

Of course, there was still an unwelcome fake saint behind it.

“Shaaaak!”

Oh, you do it in moderation!

If you feel like you’re going to be on guard, don’t come, or better yet, bring Cadmus! Where’s the inspiration?

“This is a gift I prepared for my sister.”

Seongjin first handed Amelia a long package.

“It must have been very difficult in Siegsmund Territory, but did you have time to take care of all these things? Thank you, Mores.”

Amelia opened the gift with a happy face.

And when she saw the black and ugly sword that came out of there, she was at a loss for words and stopped breathing. She seemed greatly shocked.

“… Even though it looks a bit weird, it is a great sword, sister. “I can assure you that I am familiar with the Henesys long sword.”

Logan, who became anxious, hinted and helped. But it was a needless worry.

“what… Awesome!”

Amelia let out a gasp, barely able to breathe. Her white cheeks were noticeably flushed, and her clear eyes sparkled like stars.

The girl I fell in love with at first sight, that was it.

“It’s really, really cool! “It’s the kind of sword I’ve only dreamed of!”

Amelia had visited the imperial palace several times with the Emperor’s permission, but she had not been able to find a sword she liked.

However, as if his younger brother had looked into his mind, he had found a sword that suited his taste.

Amelia, who was ecstatically caressing the rough edges of the terrifying blade, looked back at Seongjin.

“I’m so happy, Mores! thank you so much!”

“No, what?”

Seongjin also felt better at Amelia’s strong reaction.

“By the way, Mores. “Would you like to listen to this for a moment?”

“yes?”

“And stand here and strike a pose. Hmm, 5 Banajas meals would be appropriate.”

“… yes?”

As Seongjin hesitantly followed her orders without knowing why, Amelia smiled brightly, unable to hide her joy.

Then, he clenched his fists and shouted softly.

“good! Let’s draw a portrait! “We are calling a talented painter to the imperial palace!”

… yes?

‘Anyway, are you happy about it?’

Sisley also welcomed the gift.

Sisley was very moved when he saw the little ice bear toddling around and asked.

“Are you really giving this child to me? This is my first time seeing a doll like this! So pretty!”

look. You like it, right?

Seongjin looked back at Logan and Masain, who were looking worried, with a confident look on their faces.

“Thank you so much, Brother Mores. “But what is his name?”

“Uh, it’s called shaved ice number 3.”

“Hey. From now on, stay with me. “I’ll give you a cool name, sweet baby bear.”

… Hey, wait a minute?

Kid. That guy has a proper name, Shavedsu No. 3?

[Al~la~view!]

When the bear tilted its head and made an electronic sound, the saintess hugged the bear with a touched face.

“I’m not sure what he’s saying, but somehow listening to it makes my heart feel warm.”

It was purely Seongjin’s mistake.

I thought the talking bear was ‘alabyu’ and pushed forward, but when I thought about it, there was no one in Delcross who could understand this.

“How does the bear you brought know the planet Earth? “As expected, it’s suspicious!”

Only the fake saint Seo Yi-seo sparked suspicion, but no one cared about her.

“There is also a controller that controls this. “I will explain its function in detail later.”

And there were things to give to the twins. It was a pair of small ice bracelets that could be worn on the arms.

This is what came to mind after seeing an item called [Thought Blocker] in Dexter’s workshop. For some reason, the twins came to mind as soon as I saw it.

And I was constantly pestering Dexter to make two items with the same function.

-You have ours too?

Herna and Gades seemed not to have expected much and accepted the gift with questioning expressions.

“Of course, you guys should take care of yours too. “It’s family.”

Also, perhaps because of my mood, I feel like I often felt the presence of these little guys even when I was in Sigismund Territory.

I was worried because I felt like I had received a lot of help, knowingly or unknowingly.

“It’s so cool… … .”

“And be quiet… … .”

Fortunately, the twins wearing the bracelets had strangely relaxed faces, unlike the first time.

I seem to like it quite a bit, so let’s not go into detail about what this remains is. Sometimes it’s better to keep it a secret.

“I happened to have a channel open for a while, and it was really crazy at that time. I couldn’t think of anything at all. That’s why I created this function. “I think such noise would be a distraction when concentrating on the game.”

Then the two looked at Seongjin with very touched faces.

“Our thoughts among ourselves are also blocked?”

“We can play a game among ourselves.”

okay? It wasn’t a feature I put that much thought into, but I’m glad I did.

Now let’s aim our blades at each other. You chess terrorists.

“Now father, stop bothering me, and from now on, you two can play chess together. Understand?”

“and! Mores!”

The twins shouted in unison, which was rare, and clung to Seongjin’s arms.

“love you! Mores!”

“the best! Mores!”

The two of them rubbed their cheeks against Seongjin’s sleeve with very satisfied faces.

The twins seemed somewhat dull compared to their lively tone, but now they clearly conveyed a deep sense of joy.

‘Well, it’s worth giving as a gift.’

This was when Seongjin was thinking like this.

“Mores, but do you even know how to play chess?”

“Mores, wouldn’t you like to play chess together often from now on?”

“It’s okay if you don’t know. “We’ll teach you well!”

“Okay, learn. “I won’t bother you too much!”

At that moment, Seongjin felt a shiver run down his spine.

“Ah, because you guys are so surprised!”

Why do you want to include me in that? Make people anxious!
