Chapter 31. The wolf on the cliff looks down on the world. (3)
“Woe, Empress… … “What do you mean?”
“yes.”
Cain’s smile did not disappear despite Count Barnes’s shocked reaction.
“Of course, I think competition for that position will be fierce.”
The corner of his mouth, which was pushed up, contained a slight disdain, telling him that this was enough.
In fact, it could be said that it was excessive for the Barnes family, which joined last and did not even have a knighthood, to covet the position of empress.
“Ah, yes, that’s right.”
Count Barnes quickly curled his tail. It was because he astutely noticed the warning contained in Cain’s smile.
“then.”
Cain turned his back on him with a smile on his face. Then she found Sienna, who had not yet left the tent.
“Ka, Cain.”
Sienna’s face was pale and tired.
“Are you the empress’s nominee? And empress, what do you mean? Are you saying you want to bring in a lot of rain?”
It was as if he had just heard the story of a lightning strike.
“Is that really that surprising?”
Cain shrugged his shoulders as if he was rather embarrassed.
“It is a natural procedure for the emperor of a country to have an heir.”
“… … .”
“It is also necessary to strengthen relationships with each family.”
In Cain’s indifferent words, there was an implied meaning that there was no place for Sienna in them.
“… … .”
Sienna realized this and pursed her lips. With a face full of confusion, despair, and jealousy all at once.
“Siena, you have the position of court mage. yes?”
Cain added calmly, as if he didn’t notice her feelings.
“If you wish, you can ascend to the position of empress.”
“… … .”
“Some might say it’s an excessive benefit, but I don’t care.”
A dazzling and ecstatic smile that Sienna had always envied appeared on his face.
“I just need to shut up the guy who says things like that. “Isn’t that what the emperor’s position is like?”
On the other hand, it was extremely arrogant and coercive to others.
“ah… … .”
Sienna couldn’t answer anything and just stared blankly at Cain.
“Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you in advance.”
Cain took a step closer to her.
“If I go back to the imperial palace this time… … .”
Cain’s voice became lower as if threatening Sienna.
“Never touch the royal family again.”
As soon as Sienna came to her senses, he pressed her and asked if Abel’s words were true.
And only after hearing that Emperor Theodore was the only member of the royal family where the magic bomb exploded did they retreat.
“If you disobey me… … .”
Sienna’s body trembled as she clutched the hem of her robe.
“… … “Siena, you are no exception.”
My throat went dry from the deadly warning.
The woman’s senses set off warning lights.
Among the royal family, there is someone that Cain wants to protect. Along with the desire to be greedy.
“Okay… … “Yes.”
Sienna lowered her eyes to hide the emotions rising like thorns.
“I will do as Cain says.”
Her navy blue eyes flashed with a sharp thorn in them.

Same time.
The banquet hall of the imperial palace was so quiet that you could hear the sound of eye rolling. No, it was almost desolate.
“… … .”
The nobles opened their mouths, forgetting about their physical strength. Some people even looked like their jaws were about to drop.
After one wave of shock and astonishment passed.
“Your Majesty the Emperor touched the saint?”
“Are you saying that His Majesty the Emperor was punished by heaven and became like that?”
“What does it mean to be the wrath of God?”
The nobles hurriedly opened their mouths.
Normally, you can speak only after you have the right to speak, but because everyone was so distracted, questions were asked at random.
“… … .”
Both the saint and the royal family who were supposed to answer were silent. The nobles, who sensed something ominous there, clamored even more.
“Your Majesty, please say something!”
“No, don’t you think you can’t speak for some reason?”
“What do you mean, you were clearly talking and moving just yesterday!”
The eyes and ears of the people turned to Emperor Theodore. Everyone waited for the emperor to speak with anxious expressions on his face.
“… … .”

Emperor Theodore just lay frozen. He could not open his mouth to respond or express himself with his fingers.
I couldn’t even close my eyelids, so only tears leaked intermittently from my red, bloodshot eyes.
“… … “The palace.”
When Princess Violet quietly called, the courtier who had been standing far away hurriedly rushed over.
“Your Highness, please kill me.”
He bent over his old body and fell flat on the floor.
“I will pay for my sin of failing to examine Your Majesty’s body with death!”
Princess Violet only responded in an indifferent voice.
“Tell me about His Majesty’s condition. “Everything, exactly.”
“Yes, yes. majesty.”
Gung-ui stood up, trembling. He swallowed dry saliva and began to speak carefully.
“Until yesterday, His Majesty was suffering from severe burns. “But he could still raise his voice or move his body.”
As everyone’s attention focused, the cold sweat on Gong Yi’s forehead increased.
“But after spending time with the saint last night… … .”
The palace doctor swallowed his saliva and said.
“… … His limbs were completely paralyzed. “He is breathing and his heart is beating safely, but the muscles of his entire body have completely frozen.”
The palace doctor’s small voice was the only sound that resonated in the banquet hall.
“From what Soshin examined, it looks like the tendons all over his body were torn to shreds. “But there was no trauma at all, so it’s truly bizarre.”
Gong Yi’s tone gradually lost its strength.
“please… … It feels like an egg has been stabbed inside the body. “Humans cannot do this.”
The court doctor glanced sideways in the direction of the saint without realizing it.
“If God were to punish God, wouldn’t it be like this…?” … .”
People’s emotional gazes crossed.
“Oh my god, this is so… … “Isn’t God angry?”
“How dare you touch the saint… … .”
Rachel’s red cheeks flashed in people’s minds. Of course, there was no way for them to know that it was just makeup.
“God already knew that man’s sin.”
Saint Rachel slowly opened her mouth.
“You warned him several times and gave him a chance to atone for his sins. But he never changed.”
The voice coming out of the veil was so holy that it was impossible to imagine that it was speaking a lie.
“crime… … “What?”
“Are you talking about the past than yesterday?”
The royal family members standing in a row looked pale as people asked questions. The events of yesterday were flashing through their minds.
yesternight.
“It looks like everyone is here.”
Princess Violet, who had called them together last night, said:
Tuk-
As her finger touched the silver bird on the table,
Pot!
A faint image emerged as the bird’s body collapsed.
‘
You were really good at brushing off your snout earlier.’
‘That’s foolish. ‘Did you really think you could escape from me?’
In the video, Emperor Theodore was holding the saint’s chin and growling.
puck! thud!
That’s all. He did not stop there and inflicted merciless violence on the fragile body of the saint.
“Three, oh my… … .”
“It is a lie… … .”
The empress, the empress, and other princesses stared at the video blankly, forgetting to breathe.
Crackling-
When the video ended, it transformed back into the shape of a bird.
“Do you know what this means?”
Princess Violet looked around at everyone with a somber expression.
“An oracle received by the saint that the fate of the Maggiore royal family was over. That’s why it came down.”
The royal family looked at Princess Violet with faces full of despair.
“If this is revealed, not only will your Majesty the Emperor die, but we will all die. “People will do anything to avoid God’s wrath.”
Tears welled up in the eyes of the young princesses.
“Uh, mother… … .”
“What should I do? scary… … .”
The empresses hugged them with the width of their dresses as they cried.
“Violette.”
Princess Violet’s mother, First Empress Sestia, opened her mouth.
“The fact that you have this shows that there is another way for us.”
“yes.”
The eyes of my daughter, Princess Violette, who used her brilliant brains to do trivial things, were shining more coolly than ever.
“We must first abandon His Majesty the Emperor.”
The royal family listened to Princess Violet’s words with a sense of desperation.
“Otherwise, we die together. “This is the only way.”
And now.
The royal family felt their bones purged. This is because the nobles’ gaze towards Emperor Theodore suddenly became cold.
“Sin, yes. “The author is guilty.”
The saintess quietly recited, radiating the power of a judge.
“God is merciful, but the scales of judgment are not. “The weight measures sin strictly and accurately.”
Every word was as hard as a judge’s hammer.
“God’s will is to completely leave the Impero Imperial Family. “I can’t turn back anymore.”
The nobles let out a low sigh.
“Wan, completely impero imperial family… … !”
“What should I do with this?”
“Why, at times like this… … .”
It was at this time that the rebel army led by Cain Ardante took up positions outside the capital.
The leader who was supposed to bring the nobles together, command the army, and make decisions had disappeared.
The fate of the nobles who had stood on the emperor’s side was pushed to the edge of a cliff in an instant.
“… … .”
The nobles’ gaze naturally turned to the royal family next to them.
They were all beautiful and outstanding, but none of them had the right to succeed to the throne.
That’s all. They can’t take off their dresses and go to battle.
In addition, it was absurd and a factor of anxiety that the royal family, which had departed from God’s will, was leading the nobles.
That moment,
Flutter- Flutter-
The royal family, including Princess Violet, knelt one after another.
“Holy woman, what can we do?”
“I want to wash away my father’s sins. Please tell me the way.”
The saintess looked down at the crowns of the royal family’s heads in silence. Her nobles had to endure the silence of her saint, her suffocating mood.
“Fortunately-”
When the saintess finally opened her mouth, the people were almost out of breath.
“God did not convict someone just because they touched blood.”
“but,”
Princess Violet responded in an earnest voice.
“How can the descendants of those who have sinned be here?”
“… … “If that’s what you really mean.”
The saint spoke in a slow tone.
“Do what God wants you to do.”
“I will follow suit.”
Princess Violet slowly straightened her body. She had a determined will on her beautiful face.
“I make this declaration on behalf of myself and the entire royal family.”
Princess Violet looked straight at everyone in the banquet hall and said.
“There is a threat to the empire lurking out there. So, in order to protect this empire, I would like to delegate full authority to a qualified person.”
Emperor Theodore’s eyes vibrated wildly.
He had to lie still and look at the ceiling, but he could hear all the sounds in this space.
So he realized.
At this moment, the royal family, including Princess Violet, decided to abandon him.
