Children of the Holy Emperor Chapter 60

060. Sowing (4)

‘… Did it come out for no reason?’

I was trapped in the carriage for dozens of minutes, unable to get out due to the crowds.

Seongjin was a little regretful.

The two escort knights were anxious as if it was their fault that the road was congested. In particular, Sir Claudia looks somewhat uncomfortable as she has been shaking in her seat and glancing at Seongjin.

Why are you like that? Are you hungry?

Seongjin thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“I’m going to be late anyway, so should I just eat and then go in?”

Then I can skip dinner and make some time to practice.

“rain… “Can it be expensive, sir?”

“If you want to eat anything, go there. “I’ll buy you anything.”

Suddenly, Sir Claudia’s eyes began to shine brightly.

I must have been extremely hungry.

“This is a very famous restaurant on Rue d’Este. “This is one of the few restaurants where you can taste authentic Flemish meat pies!”

The place we arrived at, led by Sir Claudia, was a large restaurant with a fairly decent appearance.

It wasn’t even dinner time yet, but it was already crowded with people, so it seemed like it was quite a famous place, as she said.

“… In a place like this… “Is it okay to attend the prince?”

Sir Maria looked around with a puzzled expression. No matter how you look at it, it was not a luxury restaurant with separate rooms for VIPs.

But Sir Claudia was adamant.

“What good is rank in the face of absolute gastronomy? There is no need for a lengthy course meal. “Hot food that is cooked and served right away is the best!”

It was a very persuasive statement.

So they picked a reasonably empty table.

“You must try the authentic Flemish pork pie here! “The thick layer of juicy pork inside the crispy baked pie is truly amazing!”

“Is that so?”

“yes. And it must be served with additional cheese. Flemish cheese has a special charm that is different from that of Carthage!”

“… … .”

Sir Claudia, you are sincere about what you wear and what you eat.

Today, I see a lot of unexpected things.

And the dish, highly recommended by gourmets, was well worth the price.

“and… … .”

Maria, who couldn’t hide her discomfort even when the food was served, looked mesmerized the moment she put the piece of pie in her mouth. The authentic Flemish meat pie was that delicious.

“Hehehe. how is it? “It’s really amazing, isn’t it?”

The same goes for Sir Claudia, who asks with a proud face. He looks very happy as he takes a mouthful of pie and wrinkles his freckled nose.

So Seongjin decided to think about this outing a little more positively. Maybe this is the leisure Seonghwang was talking about.

By the time I finished half of my food.

Suddenly, customers started pouring into the restaurant. Dinner time is approaching.

It is said that a lot of people from other countries came in ahead of the birthday party, and occasionally people wearing exotic costumes were noticed.

And a group of foreigners sat down right next to the table of Seongjin and his group. The men were wearing tight, tight-fitting clothes with lots of colorful decorative buttons.

hmm? But those outfits look somehow familiar?

“They must be Breton people.”

Sir Claudia whispered with food in her mouth.

Ah, this is the style that was on display at the Salon de Mercy. It was said to be the latest trend on the continent.

Seongjin looked at them with curious eyes.

Everyone’s Aura activity level is quite high. I thought that each person wearing a flashy and shallow sword was probably a guard knight for someone of high rank.

However, despite their grim expressions, they all had smooth-shaven chins and rosy cheeks, making them look very grotesque.

Does that mean something like that is trendy? Does this mean that in the next few years, everyone in Delcross will be walking around like that?

Seongjin was disgusted as he imagined the chief knights of Jinju Palace wearing cheek rouge.

Meanwhile, the Breton men ordered food in a brusque manner and soon began talking noisily among themselves.

“No matter how hard I try, I can’t get used to the crude food here. “I heard that countrymen from the Empire don’t know how to cook.”

“I know. “Tender baby quail dishes are perfect with red wine from Rohan.”

“iced coffee. “I’ve been homesick since the first day I came to the imperial capital!”

Those guys were openly cursing Delcross in the middle of the ecliptic.

Did the liver come out of the stomach?

“It’s amazing that there are people who can gain weight by eating these kinds of things.”

“aha! You mean the famous little pig from the Seonghwang family? The guy who is famous for being a bitch… … .”

“that’s right. Just look at the things the prince honors. “Even those pretentious Delcross guys are really laughable when you get to know them.”

At that moment, Lord Claudia looked at Seongjin in surprise. It looks like he’s afraid that the prince, who can’t control his temper, will do something crazy again.

Seongjin smiled bitterly and quietly put a piece of pork into his mouth.

It’s okay to curse at Nara when you can’t see it.

Those guys don’t even know who I am, so what can they do by getting so angry? This is all Mores’ karma.

By the way, this bastard, Mores, is such a bastard that he gets scolded by even foreigners when he does something so bad.

However, the demon king who had been quiet until now suddenly asked Seongjin.

[Can you hear what they are saying?]

So, if you’re talking loudly and loudly like that, of course you can hear me?

[…] You mean you can hear that?]

‘… … ?’

What is this guy talking about again?

While Seongjin was wondering, the gossip at the table next to him was now entering a new phase.

“Anyway, I heard there are a lot of young royals who have just come of age at this birthday party, right?”

“I hope Prince Charles finds a good partner this time.”

“okay. If even one of the princesses of Delcross is snatched away. Then she will become the son-in-law of the Holy Emperor!”

“I heard that the 1st princess Amelia is so pretty?”

Seongjin was twitching his eyebrows without realizing it, but the ponytail-haired man, who seemed to be the eldest among them, started waving his hands and talking nonsense.

“Arthur. No matter how pretty you are, what can you do? “I come from a humble background.”

“Is it mean?”

“No, she is the princess of the Seonghwang family… … .”

Shh. The gourd head lowered her voice and continued as if she were telling some big secret.

“Actually, the 1st prince and 1st princess of Delcross cannot be said to be members of a proper royal family. It is said that only when his head grew up did he enter the imperial palace in the name of the Holy Emperor’s child. “Everyone can see the success, so they just don’t say anything.”

“okay?”

“No problem. “I spent most of my childhood wallowing in lowly situations, so I feel like I am truly unworthy of being treated like royalty.”

“Haha, that’s right. “No matter how pretty a girl is, it’s a different story if she comes from a lowly background.”

These bastards say let’s see, so there’s nothing they can’t say about their mouths being open.

I’m crying. Feeling something rising inside him, Seongjin slowly placed the silverware on the plate.

“That’s it. “Is that princess really the King’s biological child?”

“What? What are you talking about?”

As if enjoying the surprised reactions of the people around him, the gourd-haired man smiled slyly.

“You know what? There is also a rumor in the world that the first princess’s mother is actually a prostitute. “If that’s true, who in the world can say for sure that that girl’s father is truly prosperous?”

Grumble.

Seongjin was up from his seat before he even realized it. They say that when people get too heated, they become calm, and that’s exactly what Seongjin was like right now.

My hands and feet get hot as if the blood in my whole body is boiling, but my heartbeat actually slows down and my mind calms down.

“Yekki! “If anyone hears it, it will be a big problem!”

“No, no. That makes sense. “Wouldn’t it be an obvious story to see that the mother didn’t receive an official appointment?”

“Uh huh, I heard that Hyun Sung Hwang is a great libertine. Is that really happening… … .”

Tap, tap, tap.

Seongjin walked towards the bowl head.

Surprised, Sir Maria and Claudia belatedly get up from their seats and chase after Seongjin.

[Hey, hey. Calm down. uh? Hey, Seongjin Lee!]

The Demon King started talking urgently next to me.

[Hold on a little. huh? I know you’re angry, but if you keep thinking like this, you’ll end up becoming a piece of shit that can’t be recovered!]

They say all sorts of things. Who causes accidents?

I’m just trying to ‘politely’ protest their rudeness.

[OMG! This guy’s eyes turned again. Are you really going to kill them all?]

… What on earth does this guy think of me?

Seongjin snorted and stopped in front of the gourd head.

The bowl-haired man, who had been talking nonsense until then, blinked and looked up at him when a young boy approached him.

“… “What’s going on?”

Looking at the boy’s fierce eyes and grim expression, it didn’t seem like it was a good business, but he politely asked a question nonetheless. This is because his clothes and behavior seemed like a son of quite noble status.

Above all, there was an implicit sense of intimidation, or a kind of elegance, that emanated from this boy that could not be ignored.

And Seongjin kindly answered his question, welcoming him to Delcross.

“ruler. Try talking bullshit again. “You bastards.”

That moment.

The Bretons sitting around the table, and even the guard knights behind Seongjin, all looked at him with their eyes as wide as lanterns.

“… … !”

“Breton… … !”

“Ho, by any chance you heard everything we said… … .”

Even Lord Claudia stuttered.

“Hey, you! How on earth can you speak Breton like that? … .”

What are these noises again?

When Seongjin slightly raised his eyebrows at the strange reaction of those around him, the Demon King sighed and explained.

[You just spoke that strange foreign language.]

… ok?

[He spoke of a country called Brittany. Aside from understanding, how can you even speak so naturally?]

Isn’t it the official language of the empire?

It sure sounded like that, right?

Seongjin narrowed his eyes and looked around, and the Bretons who had been frozen until then began to open their mouths one by one.

“Are you an imperial citizen? “But I can’t hear Delcross’s accent at all.”

“I’ve never seen a foreigner pronounce Arrhc so naturally.”

“Is Confucius by any chance from Brittany?”

‘uh… … ?’

Seongjin blinked in embarrassment.

These strangely muffled pronunciations. Is this really your first time hearing a foreign language?

[Tsk. Was there no awareness? Then yes.]

The devil bastard clicked his tongue.

Seongjin opened his mouth again to the gourd head, just in case.

“I am not Breton. He is clearly from the empire. “How dare you talk nonsense like that in the imperial capital. Are you guys out of your mind?”

Oh, it works.

Was that Mr. Mores surprisingly good at foreign languages?

It was like speaking in tongues suddenly appeared out of nowhere, so I was very curious about its mechanism of action.

However, even before, Seongjin had the experience of naturally speaking the official language of the empire, which he had never learned, as if it were Korean. Even if one or two languages ​​are added, it doesn’t make much of a difference.

There were more important issues left for him now.

Seongjin spoke slowly, focusing his gaze on the faces of each of the Bretons who were looking at him with nervous faces.

“You guys just said something blasphemous to His Majesty Seonghwang, the representative of the Lord, calling him a libertine. “This can be seen as an insult to the main god and a challenge to the authority of the empire.”

Although I admit that Seonghwang lived a somewhat untidy life when he was young. Still, I’m not the kind of person who would listen to scoundrels like you and call me a libertine! uh?

Taking care of your children all the time while being busy is not something everyone can do!

Even if I criticize that person, I, the child, will criticize him!

“And he made a dirty joke about the most noble princess in the empire. “Don’t think that you can easily get over this disrespect for the royal family!”

I can’t bang my head on the floor and praise my sister’s descent to the underworld right now, but what are these things now? Are you lowly? Has the status dropped?

It would be good to keep this clearly in mind. Do you understand?

Our sister Amelia is an angel!

[…] You were so secretly clueless.]

Why is this guy fighting again?

The attitude of the Breton people definitely turned hostile after hearing Seongjin’s words. Everyone gets up from their seats and puts their hands on their waists.

Seongjin was able to feel their auror activity more clearly as they prepared to attack and raise their spirits. Compared to the resident knights of Jinju Palace, he is roughly at the level of an intermediate knight.

Sir Maria and Sir Claudia also took a step forward and tried to grab their swords, but Seongjin quickly raised his hand to stop them.

Even if there was an armed conflict, it would have been difficult for this side to take up arms first.

“what? “Is it a fight?”

“… “Do you think I’ll draw my sword?”

“Capital Guard! “Hurry up and call security!”

At this point, the people in the restaurant could not have noticed the conflict between the Bretons and Seongjin and his party. The restaurant quickly became cluttered with customers quickly leaving their seats and clerks running here and there trying to sort out the situation.

“I was going to kneel down and beg and they would take care of it, but you’re making it a big problem.”

“why? Are you scared now? “You were the one who started the argument first.”

“Are you really planning on stabbing me in a public place? “If the capital guards come, we’ll be in trouble, right?”

“You are the one who is in trouble. We are the guard knights who protect the noble Marquis de la Vizuri. “What kind of diplomatic disrespect is this to a guest from another country!”

“Are those who publicly insulted the royal family saying diplomatic disrespect? … .”

When I laughed out loud because it was so absurd, the gourd head let out a bitter smile.

“Isn’t that what you are claiming on your own? Can you give evidence to the security guard? “I wonder if there is a witness here who is sophisticated enough to understand a high-level language like Breton, you Delcross hillbilly.”

These bastards?

Are you talking so freely that no one will understand?

“Now that you know where you are, get out before the guards come. “If you just shut up and leave, I will forgive you for your rudeness so far.”

That’s how it comes out.

Seongjin smiled happily at the gourd head.

“Oh yeah? I guess I misunderstood? I feel sorry about this. “You guys were just casually gossiping about the Marquis, but I guess I misunderstood, right?”

“Talk behind your back… what?”

“It was like that. Such absurd things were being carried out in public at the Marquis de L’Aviguri! They treat their knights harshly and give them so much pay? Anyway, there are more high-ranking people who are worthless.”

The leisurely smile disappeared from the bowl-haired man’s face.

“W-what nonsense are you talking about!”

“It means that when the capital guards arrive, they will give a very ‘good’ statement. These poor people were just suffering from the tyranny of the marquis and were expressing their dissatisfaction in a somewhat drastic way. I misunderstood it in a clumsy way, and this led to this sad month. right?”

The Bretons opened their mouths stupidly.

What is this guy talking about now?
