228
“In the end, you fell victim to a secret struggle.”
The emperor said in a gloomy voice
“There is a traitor in the imperial palace.”
He understood well the situation he was in.
The Scarecrow Emperor had to conduct himself even in the imperial palace. The guards protecting the emperor were once powerful men with counter-radiation, but now they were toothless tigers. Most of them were old and retired, and the new talent followed Solgar or Reinberg, so the title of Imperial Emperor was truly fleeting.
I asked the emperor if anyone had any guess. He mocked himself and his eyes became empty.
“Who is your enemy and who is on your side? Pia is a mess. It’s all because there’s not enough luggage. “Jim was too small to lead a great empire.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The emperor secretly glared at me. It was a complex expression.
“Yes, Confucius would think so too.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“You are a very honest person.”
“Wasn’t there a case? sorry.”
“No, I guess not.”
After that, the emperor lowered his head and was lost in thought for a long time before calling my name again.
“Polestar Confucius.”
“yes.”
“No matter how much I hide under the two pillars of the empire, wearing worn-out dragon robe and holding a broken royal seal, I am the emperor of Kunkan, a descendant of the nine dragons. Thirty-six earths and one sky are beneath me, and a million people regard me as the sun. So, I’m willing to give you what you want. come out… “Let’s make a deal.”
I could already see how insignificant the prestige of the emperor of the empire was by offering a ‘deal’ rather than an ‘order’ to me, who had no title. The emperor was cornered by a foreigner. He could not even protect himself in the imperial castle, so in fact, there was no one he could trust anywhere in the empire, and there was not even a place for him to stretch out and lie down. It was impossible to believe the day we first met.
“Protect me until we uncover the male and female traitor.”
“All right.”
There is no need to worry.
There is no loyalty to the empire.
I didn’t have to worry about being caught up in complicated political struggles.
It’s just that the emperor was still a great bait,
By protecting the emperor, I have the justification to swing my sword like a fool.
* * *
“You said I made Jim an idiot, so I guess I’ll have to stay like one for a while. Phew.”
“There’s no need to act like an idiot.”
“hmm?”
The reason is simple.
“Rather, it would be wiser to show off your sturdy body.”
“But what can I do when every eye that watches over me has a venomous eagle in it?”
“Please do not worry and focus on taking care of national affairs. “If only you would allow me to always stay by your Majesty’s side.”
Arrogant and confident.
I don’t know how I will appear in the eyes of the emperor.
“Those who dare to harm Your Highness are judges who judge the three powers or large landowners who buy all the world’s landscapes as their own, or even-”
The emperor was startled by my words and opened his eyes wide.
Birds hear what you say during the day, and rats hear what you say at night, so you keep looking around.
“Even if Duke Solgar shows his vicious fangs, he will fairly resign under my sword.”
The Emperor knew very well that what I meant by resignation was not simply ‘you are fired.’
He is the scarecrow emperor. The imperial palace must have been a prison from the time he was born, and even though he was the emperor of the empire, he must have learned how to be cautious. I declared to the Emperor that I would take action against all who he had to watch over. Only then did the emperor seem to realize who I was.
“I have a lot to worry about, so… “Let Confucius rest.”
He’s crazy. He asked a madman to protect him. The emperor realized this and was filled with fear. Although he had asked for an escort to preserve his life, Prince Reinberg actually said that he would throw himself into a forest infested with beasts as bait to protect his position as king. The emperor, who realized that blood was coming to the palace, tried to push me away.
But I didn’t want to let go of the big fish caught on the hook.
If the situation spreads out of control-
Even if it means turning enemies beyond Solgar and the entire empire.
The twins were ‘still’ on my side.
Empire,
vs
Reinberg.
The conclusion is easy to come to.
One Lanista would be enough.
* * *
It was the second day after taking a day off.
The emperor did not move a single step from his residence. Even his father, who wanted an audience with him, refused, so he could not meet him. Instead, he called me whenever he asked for food or something he needed, and unusually, he asked me to bring him ‘bai ela’.
“Oh oh.”
The Emperor was impressed when he handed over the Bayella he had used in the Musenion.
“It’s a good instrument. “Is it Confucius’ instrument?”
“Yes, this is Byella, which I often used in the past.”
“The soul of the player resides in the instrument. “Confucius is not only great at using weapons but also at playing music.”
The Emperor took a stance to turn on Byella. It’s quite good. Although I am not well versed in playing musical instruments, I have some time to learn by stealing from the Music Department of Musenion. Just by looking at the preparation posture, you could tell that the performance was of a high standard.
Eventually, the emperor turned on Bayella.
Mmmmmmm-
Not as much as Lily. Lily’s performance made Dalby dance.
However, his playing was calm and gloomy, but still and beautiful like the dawn.
Dalbi sits quietly, shaking his body and enjoying the rhythm. It was quite a skill.

After I finished playing, I clapped. It was sincere, not flattery.
“It was as if the serene waters of the Sorod River were rippling at His Majesty’s fingertips.”
“The late Queen Mother used to say that. Your emotions are similar to mine. also… “Is it because of blood connection?”
Kunkan Demenia.
The last queen of the Kunkan Dynasty.
The fact that my father, who was a commoner, developed such a powerful force was also largely due to my mother’s influence.
The previous emperor did not acknowledge his mother, but
It was clear that the emperor and I were blood relatives.
Well, what if I really am ‘Polestar Qualtz Reinberg’?
Now that memories of past lives have become the subject, ‘blood ties’ have no meaning.
“How about it? Would you like to hear it too?”
The emperor handing over Bayella.
I shrugged.
There is only one song I can play.
Lily’s performance copied with the power of Cheonan Tong –
cheerful and bright,
Spring flower fields and balloons. It was a song that resembled a marching military band and a happily smiling child.
but,
After the performance is over.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”
The emperor cried bitterly.
Without saving face.
Screaming like a child.
As soon as he left the room, the emperor spoke in a gloomy voice.
It may have been a whisper to me, but I heard it clearly in my ears.
“mom… … .”
That gentleman,
Didn’t they do that during the last bottomless pit incident?
* * *
The emperor was a coward and often pretended to be relaxed in order to forget the situation he was in. This is why music class became a morning routine. He tried to show off the majesty of the emperor by leisurely enjoying music even when his life was on the line, but in my eyes, it was nothing more than a frightened mama’s boy escaping reality.
Time was running out. But there is no benefit in rushing.
I decided to hang out with him for a while until he came to his senses.
The Byella I turned on was Lily’s performance. The Emperor was greatly impressed by Lily’s playing, and I taught him how to play for two hours every morning. The emperor’s body was weak and unsuitable for learning martial arts, and his mind did not seem particularly smart. However, surprisingly, he showed great talent in entertainment, such as music and art. When I taught him how to play, he immediately followed along, and the landscape painting he painted as repayment was wonderful, as if it were a direct reproduction of the beautiful nature of Quarts outside the window.
However, even if you can make a name for yourself as a painter or musician –
It was a completely useless talent for a weak emperor.
One day,
When he was able to play Lily’s song perfectly.
The emperor put down Bayella and spoke to me.
“There are three elders in the imperial palace who have been assisting with state affairs and government affairs since the previous emperor.”
Complaints get longer.
“When they served their father, they tenderly looked after me as a young prince. He was always Emperor Kunkan’s closest confidant, teaching wisdom and righteousness, protecting the imperial family from external enemies, and never marrying or having children throughout his life for the sake of eternal prosperity and defense of the country. They always said that only the Empire was their parent, companion, and child. but… … .”
The emperor sighed softly with a gloomy face.
“They haven’t seen me ‘even once’ since I ascended to the throne. Mahaseungsang, Daesama, and Eosadaebu. Even though they have been entrusted with the responsibility of the nation, they have firmly barred themselves from the call of duty and have not attempted to move their feet, which have become heavier than a thousand pounds. What is the throne and the sun of the empire? I let you down. They said they had no choice but to turn away because they didn’t have enough luggage. One, luggage… “If he had great power like his father, he would have served the emperor again like he did in the past.”
The emperor seemed to have made up his mind, but his heart was still weak, so he could feel the wick shaking like a reed without even looking at it. He said in a trembling voice.
“I believed it. I bet they would wait. No, I wanted to believe it. But it’s already too late. So much so that they want to turn me into an idiot. Confucius and the Three Dukes are the most senior people in the imperial palace and possess absolute power. If the dukes are what sustain the empire, then the three dukes are the ones standing at the center. If they colluded with someone… … .”
I spoke directly to the frustrated emperor.
“It would be Solgar. clearly.”
“Huh-up!”
“You don’t have to act surprised every day. “Your Majesty the Emperor.”
Before I knew it, my tone of manner had disappeared, but the Emperor was so embarrassed that he didn’t notice.
“It doesn’t matter. “The three bugs who rule the imperial palace either cooperate with the bastard or not.”
“What the hell! “If they join forces, it will be like swallowing half, or even two-thirds, of the empire!”
“I can see the devil and tell the pretender. This is a fact that is clearly guaranteed when Ajibika admits that he killed the Pope. “Isn’t that right?”
“that… “I see.”
“Then who do you think Ajibika will follow?”
“But the clergy will not interfere in the civil war. The sacred treaty was made 500 years ago by the Twelve Saints of Ajibika… … .”
“Tsk, didn’t I just tell you? I can see the devil and distinguish between a disguise and a disguise. “The ‘Moon Children’ are the only ones.”
Only then did the emperor realize the evil intention and was astonished.
It is the only way to distinguish between impersonators.
In other words, no one can tell even if you lie.
Justice loves the truth, so I am on the side of justice.
Actually, it’s an easy story. No matter how different the customs, history, and beliefs are, humans on Earth and humans in this world are not very different. History proves it. What kind of history was recorded on Earth when religion surpassed royal power even though it was ‘not real’? Even more so in this shitty world where the devil really exists-
A better cause than anything else is born.
That one thing is enough. The problem was when Reinberg was weaker than Solgar. In the end, putting aside all justifications and other reasons, only the law of power creates perfect logic.
In that respect,
I couldn’t imagine the twins losing.
of course.
A more dangerous situation may arise, so we need to prevent it.
That was the reason why I had to work hard to follow the emperor into the imperial palace, find the culprit, and uncover the connection. You shouldn’t provoke the twins unnecessarily. If we are not careful, it may not be a ‘civil war’ but ‘destruction’.
“No matter how much that may be… … !”
“Don’t worry, I’ve been telling you since a while ago.”
It’s clearing!
As my power becomes more and more concentrated,
The emperor’s face turned as pale as a green apple.
* * *
Quartz was too safe.
I persuaded the emperor (not in a very gentle way) and urged him to return to the imperial palace.
Within a few days, the emperor returned to the imperial palace. I joined the procession and followed the emperor.
In the emperor’s carriage, the emperor asked me.
“Do you mind if I tell the duke?”
“are you okay. “If you find out, you’ll be furious, but I don’t want to worry you for no reason.”
“Okay. “You are a dutiful son, you are a dutiful son.”
The emperor put down the landscape painting he had been drawing.
I was already painting over a picture that was completed a few days ago.
No, to be precise, I was ‘erasing’.
“Even if I knew, I wouldn’t worry about you.”
Unlike before, the mountain picture in the landscape painting was a mountain with a broken peak.
