It was truly a den of cockroaches.
I thought it was strangely quiet outside…
Everyone has gathered here in the imperial palace.
I went around killing demons.
It was time to pass by the guards’ quarters.
“Hey, beautiful lady-”
Someone called me and I turned around.
It was a man with his arm draped over a pillar and looking at me with a sad expression.
“ah.”
I realized and felt unbearable shame. I reflexively turned my head when I heard the words ‘beautiful lady.’ I subconsciously knew that ‘beautiful lady’ was referring to me. Beautiful Lady. Beautiful, lady.
“Hehe. “It’s even more beautiful when you see it from the front.”
He looked like he was walking around with a rose in his mouth. He scanned my entire body with a sly gaze. He is not a devil, unfortunately. Looking at his attire, he looked like a royal knight.
“There is no way I wouldn’t know a beautiful woman like you. Oh, beautiful woman, where did you come from, the little brown bird?”
It was a rather surprising reaction. Normally, I would have said a few words, but now was not the time.
“Wait-”
I was trying to pass by, but he blocked my path.
He had sly eyes and a voice that seemed to have been coated with butter, so the endings were slippery.
“Could you at least tell me Lady’s name?”
“You know what, get out of here.”
“Oh, beautiful flowers always have thorns. Even your rough lips… … .”
busy. I can’t afford to deal with idiots. I was patient and tried to ignore it and walk by instead of kicking it in the shin. But the guy persistently blocked the road.
“You shine brighter than the pearl of Palen. I am willing to suffer heavenly punishment, and I dare say that even the goddess Ajivika will be jealous of you and shed frost-colored tears.”
I tried to kill him, but suddenly I thought I was overreacting.
Throughout my life, I have been flirted with by men. But there is no reason to be angry.
He just didn’t know. I tried to lightly bend the spine of the guy who was getting in my way and subdue him.
“huh?”
Although I had mercy in my hand, the man immediately reacted and dodged as soon as I extended my hand. What a knight. I followed the retreating guy and eventually caught him.
“Now, wait!”
I resisted with force, but it was no help. When I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him down, he couldn’t hold on and fell down. The overpowered guy shouted urgently with his face filled with astonishment.
“you! “Who are you?”
“Who are you?”
“Former Golden Knight, company commander of the Imperial Guard, and sentinel of the rose garden who excels in both civil and military skills as well as beauty… … .”
“Stop f*cking with me. What are you doing here? “You’re so angry, are you trying to seduce a woman?”
“hmm? “Did something happen to the imperial palace?”
“Doesn’t the guard knight even know that?”
“Hehe. I became a Royal Guard knight in pursuit of romance, so I have no loyalty to the imperial palace. But as a Lady, I think I can serve her with my whole soul.”
Among the blue wolves and Solgar knights, I’ve never seen anyone as flashy as this guy.
puck-!
I knocked out the annoying guy by hitting him on the back of the neck.
“Ugh.”
Even as he was losing consciousness due to the suppression of his Yang Yu vein acupuncture points, he threw something at my feet. It was just a guess, but he really did carry roses. I trampled the rose with my foot. He was a man with a great obsession with women.
“under.”
I was about to go find the devil, but I frowned and turned around again.
Then he picked up the trampled rose and put it in his pocket.
Garbage in the trash can.

Gwantaewi and Daesanong.
Management Officer and Western Entry Officer.
Pass by and reach Daehongryeo-
Even for me, it was quite a shocking result that half of the imperial palace leadership was disguised.
The demons could not escape the barrier set by the female mortals. They were strong, but they were nothing more than prey. There was no devil that could stand against me. From the beginning, disguisers were disguisers no matter how strong they were. A demon who gave up his demonic powers to imitate a human. It is bound to be weak compared to the higher-ranking demons recorded in the Book of Raziel. What makes them scary is that they destroy and incite humans to lead them to self-destruction – but they are helpless in the face of a perfect natural enemy like me. Since I have the eyes to distinguish impersonators and the power to kill them without paying attention to others, I was like a disaster that I could not face against impersonators.
Half of the imperial palace leaders and government officials died.
It happened in just one day. If the rebellion had been launched, it would have been a success, and it would have been such a huge shock that Kunkan fell and a new dynasty was established. But what happened after I exterminated the demon was surprisingly calm.
With Ajibika’s help, it was quiet outside the imperial palace. By now, the dukes would have known about the incident that occurred in the imperial palace, but even if they knew, there was nothing they could do about it right now. Ushas even thought that I would make a fuss – he handled everything quickly.
Control and surveillance of information.
The dead pretender’s place was instantly replaced by others.
I didn’t know that Ushas was behind all this planned control. She was like, ‘Big Brother.’
The emperor was shocked, lamented, and ultimately spent the night drinking. He was an emperor who was well aware of his powerlessness, but he complained that he did not know that he was truly ‘nothing’. I comforted him. It’s not that you’re weak. ‘It’ is just a different direction.
The imperial palace, which was hit by a bloody wind (which I brought), was purified, restored, and regained its former appearance as if it had been waiting for it. An investigation team was created to take care of the people taken by the impersonator and investigate when they were attacked by the devil. It may have taken several years, but considering the importance of the people involved, it was natural.
Even though it was the planned downfall of the Kunkan imperial family –
It felt like a miracle that the situation was maintained and the situation was resolved like this.
During this process, I could not figure out how long Ushas had been waiting for this moment. Maybe it was from the moment he realized his past life. Ushas did not only control Ajivika. He was sure. The newly replaced imperial palace forces serve Ushas.
Although this time I could see that I had become her tool.
Next time.
Will I ever be able to understand?
* * *
While the situation was being resolved, the emperor stayed in the palace.

I stayed with him to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances.
“What a shame.”
“what?”
WiTochi’s magical powers were released and he returned as a man.
“You look better as a woman.”
“Don’t be a damn thing.”
He was a truly pitiful emperor.
“Hehe. “Now you treat Jim like a friend.”
“why? “Do you treat me with respect?”
“No. “I like it now.”
The emperor, who was smiling brightly, spoke in a gloomy voice.
“The nobles who heard the news will soon begin to respond.”
The emperor spent every day immersed in worry. He was worried about civil war. They were afraid that the empire would break into pieces and turn their swords on each other. In particular, the relationship between Solgar and Reinberg was no different than that of enemies, so it would not be surprising if a war broke out at some point.
“It hasn’t been long since the empire changed from a history of invasion to a history of maintenance. “On the Western Continent, even the long-established Kingdom of Heavenly Beasts with thousands of years of history was destroyed in vain by civil war.”
The emperor blamed himself and spoke with a pained expression.
“Ah- Kunkan. My noble and foolish ancestors. The seeds of hatred they sowed took deep root and became evil. “Now that Matherand has become independent and has set a precedent, it is only a matter of time before other families do the same.”
“Father will not abandon his loyalty to Kunkan.”
“Thank you. It is a great strength that you and Reinberg are allies of the imperial family. however… In the end, the flow cannot be stopped. “If a civil war breaks out, whoever wins, the Kunkan Empire will surely fall.”
He placed the small wooden box that he had never let go of in his arms on the table.
“My vessel is too small to reign as the sun of the empire.”
Something the emperor cherished.
It is a symbol of the Kunkan imperial family.
A sign of the peak of the empire.
Jade print embossed with nine dragons.
“I envied the bard. “Wandering freely wherever my feet take me, playing the Bayella.”
He looked back and forth between me and Oksae. My eyes are shaking.
After going through great agony, the emperor finally stood up, holding the wooden box again.
“Shall we go? friend.”
“yes. “Your Majesty the Emperor.”
This afternoon.
The ‘coronation ceremony’ is held.
Originally, there had to be recognition from the emperor and nobles.
It wasn’t necessary at all this time.
It is neither permission nor a suggestion.
only.
It’s just a notice.

Even before the case of the imperial palace impersonator was resolved, something incredible happened that rewrote the history of the empire. ‘Saints’ existed even before Ushas. Saint of Ajibika, noble Messiah, mother of the poor, and representative of human mercy and love. However, previous saints were ‘honorary’. It was merely a ‘mascot’ put forward by Ajibika to gain support from the people. Her real power rested with the Pope. The Pope had been competing for power with the Emperor and ruled the Ajibica Church.
But a few years ago.
The position of Pope has been vacant ever since the Pope was murdered by an impersonator. Pope. The fact that the representative of Ajivika was murdered by the devil was an incident so shocking that it shook the foundation of faith. Ajibika’s authority declined and the people no longer trusted Ajibika.
Amidst the confusion, it was Ushas who took control of the situation.
He personally performed ‘miracles’ and led the black priests to destroy the devil.
In the end, Ajivika gained stronger faith than before.
And today-
Finally, Ushas reached a level that no saint in history had ever achieved.
The position of Pope, which had been vacant for several years, was appointed.
“It’s a great family. Now they even produce a Pope… … !”
I shrugged my shoulders at the emperor’s words.
“The four duchess twins are all gone.”
It was the day when Ushas, a saint, was crowned Pope.
* * *
Pope coronation ceremony.
It progressed as quickly as roasting beans in the heat of lightning.
Frontier nobles could not even attend. I heard that in the past, the Pope’s coronation ceremony was held like a festival, with congratulatory remarks from the four dukes and three dukes representing the nobility, and finally the Emperor. There may be many reasons, but Ushas had no need for ostentation. Because no one dares to find fault.
I sat alone at a distance and watched the preparations for the coronation ceremony.
Ushas.
Wearing a smiling mask.
He is having a conversation with the cardinal who follows him.
scary. really.
My thoughts became more determined.
Among the twins, the scariest one is Ushas.
While observing Ushas.
I felt a familiar energy around me.
“Huh?”
As I looked around for energy, I realized that I was not mistaken.
I got up leisurely and headed towards them.
* * *
“Why are you guys here?”
“Agave-”
“Ah, Confucius!”
Starfall Knights.
Among them, there is the Order of Spiritual Beast Knights, which consists only of spiritualists.
Turtle magician Lachi and bat magician Miko, Zenko and Vampy.
And even the frog magicians McRaney and Kajuwea were gathered in one place and stood there looking dumbfounded.
“Ushas called. You asked for a personal escort, but it was a request from ‘That Ushas’… I couldn’t refuse. lol. Will you understand? Confucius also said this repeatedly. ‘Unconditionally obey the orders of my brothers and sisters.’”
“Yes, it was a very wise move to listen to Ushas’ orders. But why is Ushas asking me to escort you? Since when?”
“Since three weeks ago. I arrived in the capital a few days ago and escorted Ushas… “Nothing urgent has happened!”
It was a similar time to when I left Quartz.
Ha, my head is pounding. Now I don’t know.
“Something happens.”
“yes?”
“There must be a reason why I called you. “Don’t relax and be careful.”
“ancient-! “I understand, Captain!”
“Croak, croak!”
“Confucius, can you lend me some of that money? “There are so many things to buy in the capital’s boutiques, but I don’t have the money.”
I gave Miko a coin each as he asked.

The Pope coronation ceremony has begun.
