Children of the Holy Emperor Chapter 96

096. Logan (3)

Hiccup. Seongjin hiccuped with her eyes wide open. She was so surprised that she completely forgot to say hello.

Seonghwang slowly walked next to the bed, stood and quietly looked down at Seongjin for a moment. The temperature around him felt like it was dropping significantly, and Seongjin unconsciously felt a chill.

Seonghwang stood silently for a long time and then opened his mouth in a low voice.

The calm voice made me even more scared.

“You exploded a wooden sword, and now you were planning to explode your own body as well.”

Ah, the Holy Emperor already knew how he used his aurors at will.

If you think about it, the result was obvious.

If I had gone a little further, all the muscles in my body would have exploded like a wooden sword.

“that… … .”

My auras didn’t reach its core.

There was no other way to kill it.

There were a lot of excuses I wanted to say, but as I looked into those cold, sword-like eyes, only one word came out of my mouth.

“… sorry.”

I really felt sorry for him. It’s real.

It hasn’t been long since I woke up in the body of Mores in the imperial palace, and how frustrated I was in that short period of time. I was seriously injured several times, and once I even actually died.

Making people worry about their children for the rest of their lives in such a short period of time may have been better than that asshole Mores.

As I bowed my head in sincere reflection, the cool atmosphere of the success eased a little.

“Do you understand? “Practice is not a barrier that limits Aurors.”

Seongjin felt a pang inside.

Seonghwang noticed that he immediately threw away the exercises when his attacks did not go as planned. Clearly, at the time, Seongjin thought that he was creating limitations for himself by following the exercises.

However, in reality, Seongjin just forcibly collected the aura that was not yet enough to be released into the external air and roughly released it through his arms.

If you think about what he did, it was no different from using his body as another wooden sword. He was swinging his aurors in an unstable manner and eating away at his own flesh.

If you practice according to the method and build up layers of Aura, one day you will be able to clearly send external energy out of the sword. In a slightly more powerful yet safer way.

“Moving an auror is like swinging a double-edged sword. We must not forget that practice is the minimum safety measure for handling the sword.”

“Yes, I will keep that in mind.”

“okay.”

Seonghwang nods his head. Through his past experience, Seongjin realized that his time of scolding was over.

Seongjin raised his head and asked Seonghwang.

“Well, father. I have a question.”

“…..”

“I woke up last night and meditated. “The number of Aurors suddenly increased significantly.”

“…..”

“Not long ago, it was around the 6th floor, but it quickly increased and now it’s getting closer to the 7th floor. Now I feel like I can properly let out the outside air. Do you know anything about this?”

Seongjin was so busy talking that he didn’t realize that Seonghwang’s eyes, which had been calm, became cold again.

“Could this be a change that occurred while receiving treatment from my father? Or could it have something to do with my Aura being depleted while fighting that spider monster? If you continue to receive treatment like this often or deplete Auras, your practice achievements will increase quickly… … .”

At that moment, Seonghwang’s eyebrows twitched, and sparks flew from Seongjin’s forehead.

Sigh!

“Kkuek!”

Seongjin rolled around on the bed, holding his forehead. It was so painful that I had tears in my eyes without even realizing it.

Seonghwang stared at that figure for a moment, then clicked his tongue and turned around.

“Who on earth does this guy look like? “You’re not learning anything at all.”

No, isn’t that a bit too much?

I heard everything, right?

Sir Katrina certainly did! They say I look exactly like my father when he was young!

Seonghwang, who was leaving the room, paused for a moment and opened his mouth.

“… Bring a nutcracker to your next audience. “I’ll take a look at the sword.”

“yes?”

Seongjin asked, but he left the room without turning around.

“How did this happen! “I was just going to plant eggs, so what on earth did you guys do there?”

A sharp voice resonates through the cabin. It was a secretly arranged meeting place in the capital.

Two shabby-looking underground priests were bowing their heads in front of a man with long silver hair wearing a half-mask.

The priest’s clothes, which would have originally been shiny white, are now a mess of soot and dirt. Only the small emblem engraved on the chest of the priest’s uniform revealed that they were priests belonging to the Heresy Tribunal.

While the old priest was shedding tears with a devastated face, Clemens, who was prostrating next to him, quickly opened his mouth.

“It was really unexpected. We simply sowed faithfully for the task. It’s true!”

“But why was the gate opened to the Heresy Tribunal?”

“I don’t know the exact circumstances, but I think it was probably done by brothers from a forgotten sect. “It must have touched the remaining legacy of [Sabbath].”

“… Remnants of rest? Why is he suddenly like that?”

“That’s what we do well… … .”

“Say that now!”

Prince Leonard, who was sipping alcohol from a small bottle next to him, shook his head. It was the first time he had seen Romain so agitated and unable to maintain his composure.

It’s definitely worth it.

It’s only been a few days since most of the seeds were swept away due to a sudden temporary emergency measure.

To make matters worse, yesterday morning, even the seeds that had germinated were destroyed by a large number of monsters that suddenly flew in from the imperial palace.

All the hard work so far has been in vain.

It took dozens of pots to plant the seeds, one by one, before they would sprout. Since they have all disappeared, when will the work begin again?

“I had already been urging Brother Ansik to join the task. He originally asked us to open the inheritance together on the Great Harvest Day… … .”

Clemens continued speaking with an embarrassed look on his face.

“For some reason, Hayes, he suddenly acted on his own. This happened without any prior notice. It’s true!”

“So why did he suddenly?!”

“I heard that just before opening the gate, you had a brief chat with a guest who visited the Heresy Tribunal. If there is a cause, I think it might be that customer… … .”

Romain’s voice sank low.

“Who was that customer?”

“This is the third prince, Prince Mores.”

“Prince Mores… … .”

He looked into space and took a moment to catch his breath.

Now that I think about it, wasn’t his name mentioned in the monster disturbance that occurred on the outskirts of the capital not long ago?

What on earth is he that moves the remnants of Sabbath, who have been hiding as if they were dead?

I heard that he was kicked out of the Blue Rose Labyrinth because he was an absolute bastard, but in reality, he wasn’t as simple a bastard as the rumors say?

Why does someone who has been quiet until now suddenly step up to the plate and reveal their presence?

“… “Is this a new word for Seonghwang?”

Romaine gritted his teeth as he repeated softly.

“Guardian of Delcross. “I wondered what he was up to, and it turned out that he was very skilled at moving the horse without using his hands.”

Behind the half-mask, light brown eyes flash fiercely. Clemens, who met those eyes, was startled and bowed his head again.

“… okay. Do you maintain that balance? “I look forward to seeing how long your breathtaking acrobatics will last.”

Contrary to what he said, it wasn’t the face I was expecting at all.

Romain stared in the direction of the imperial palace with his sharp blue eyes forever.

Yesterday’s monster commotion made the morning’s office hours busy.

The Heresy Tribunal was almost destroyed, and many lives, including prisoners, were lost.

The Knights of St. Marsyas lost its leader, Sir Durand, and his deputy, Sir Paris, was acting as temporary leader.

It became known that remnants of the dark order remained within the Heresy Tribunal, and a number of clergy, including its head, Cardinal Benitus, were caught up in the charge. It was literally a stormy political meeting.

As soon as the matter was resolved, Seonghwang, who skipped lunch and went to Jinju Palace, was faced with another difficult time.

The twins who had laid out the chessboard in the throne room were waiting for him to enter with sparkling eyes.

And Seonghwang did not like chess very much.

“Queen of all sorts… … .”

He sighed. A black queen suddenly runs into his camp and aims for the king.

“check.”

Ahem. Herna is always one step ahead. Even he couldn’t help but hold his tongue at that bold move at times.

He had no choice but to move the king.

And then it was surrounded by the next moving knight.

“check.”

Hmm. Kadesh is always taking a step back. A combination of knights protecting each other. It is often difficult to maintain that tight siege.

Seonghwang had no choice but to take a step further into the enemy camp.

He managed to escape here and there for a while, but in the end, King’s words were obvious as he jumped deep into the enemy camp alone.

“You lost.”

The twins smiled brightly at his calm declaration.

“We’ve only just finished two rounds, good luck dad.”

“You promised to keep it for the afternoon, Dad, Your Majesty.”

The chief chamberlain smiles happily as he refills the cooled teacup next to him. In his opinion, it must have been an extremely affectionate time.

Seonghwang furrowed his eyebrows.

In fact, it could be said that this was an achievement for self-employment. It was he who first taught the twins to play chess.

Herna and Gadesh, who discovered channeling at an extremely young age, often lost their minds to the point where they could not control themselves during their childhood. In a way, it was a case where limitations were eliminated because the person had an imperfect channeling organ.

Seonghwang taught the children to play chess as a way to tie them to reality, as they sometimes forget to eat or drink and stare blankly into space. It was a method that made you use your mental power without stopping, and made you focus on the game board that exists in reality.

Fortunately, smart children soon became obsessed with the game, and gradually began to learn how to control their channeling by living based on reality.

It was a success up to that point.

However, even the success of the game at the time never dreamed that these children would become such monsters of chess.

In that case, why not find another opponent or have the twins play chess together? Louis, the chief chamberlain, actually didn’t understand why the two were so obsessed with playing chess with the Holy Emperor.

However, just as they were unable to control their indiscriminate channeling, the two were also unable to properly control their ability to read the strong thoughts of people around them.

In other words, if someone plays chess with intense concentration in front of two people, they will unconsciously read the other person’s moves even if they do not want to know them.

Also, there was no way that two people who were closer than anyone else could not read each other’s thoughts. Playing chess with two people is no different from playing alone on a chessboard.

Seonghwang, the only person whose thoughts could not be read by the twins, was still the only person who could truly enjoy the game with them.

And regardless of his dislike of chess, Seonghwang was quite good at playing chess.

Of course, these two people are becoming more and more adept at controlling their abilities. Perhaps one day, the two of us will play chess without a circle. At least that’s what Seonghwang thought.

However, one thing that Seongwang overlooked was that the twins’ insistence on playing chess during the audience was actually due to their slightly twisted affection for the twins, who were happy to see him in trouble.

Perhaps he will never know.

“Seonghwang’s father has a habit of making the first move on his own without looking at other words.”

“Dad, don’t forget that Your Majesty has many other horses that can move.”

Now the twins have reached the point where they are scolding their father by saying quite adult things.

“… “Is that so?”

“Yes, sometimes there are necessary sacrifices to prevent further damage.”

“That’s right, there’s no use feeling guilty about something you can’t help.”

Next to him, Chamberlain Louis was looking at the bright twins with a face that was so cute that they were to die for. Perhaps it is because they do not fully understand the true weight of what they are saying.

Seonghwang sighed.

He doesn’t like chess. It is said that he is not a person who likes to move and make sacrifices for words.

The Holy Emperor’s warm eyes lingered for a long time on the Black Queen, the one the twins sacrificed first.
