Chapter 31. The wolf on the cliff looks down on the world. (5)
Because he knew the importance of supply more than anyone else, he had predicted that the odds of winning this war would be low.
“If you sell your wheat now, you will reap unimaginable profits. Maybe we can accumulate the wealth that will dominate this empire.”
“… … .”
“But to donate the entire amount is so unbecoming of a merchant.”
At the same time, other nobles were also curious about it. Everyone paid attention to Elice’s answer.
“Is there a reason? “Please be honest.”
Elice was silent for a moment.
“Because my master commanded me.”
Eventually, Eliche opened her mouth.
Her bright blue eyes shined even more vividly. What was buried within it was a deep sense of pride.
“It was under his direction that we stockpile wheat in advance.”
“… … .”
“Master has always looked to the future of the empire.”
Elice’s words shocked people again.
“You mean the owner? “This is my first time hearing this.”
“So you’re saying the actual owner of Vitoria Sangang is someone else?”
Elice answered people’s questions smoothly.
“Yes, that’s right. “I am but a lowly servant carrying out His will.”
People were left speechless by his self-deprecating words.
“And He is here.”
Elise slowly turned her smiling face. She then started walking slowly towards somewhere.
Again, again.
The place where Elice’s steps stopped was,
“master.”
It was in front of Abel Kindreal, who was sitting vaguely with his legs crossed.
“The top of Vittoria belongs to Abel Ovest Kindreal.”
widely-
Elice knelt down politely. With a deep reverence that can only be shown to my master.
“her… … !”
“Well, that… … !”
The nobles took a vain breath.
In particular, the faces of those who opposed it by talking about their family’s wealth turned black.
The riches of the Vitoria upper class and the overwhelming wheat reserves silenced all the nobles in the place.
Right then.
“I will also make a declaration here.”
Leah quietly got up. The movement was light, but heavy, like the movement of Mount Tai.
Tap, tap.
The place where Leah’s steps stopped was in front of Abel, just like Elice.
Charang!
A sword with a blue blade appeared in Leia’s hand.
widely.
Leah knelt down, holding Aria.
“As Aria’s master, I swear.”
His attitude was extremely solemn, as if he was taking a knight’s oath.
“I, Lea Nord Concellare, support Abel Ovest Kindreal.”
Clear emerald eyes gave off a transparent light.
“My teacher, ally, and benefactor.”
His unwavering, straight voice contained clear trust and clear goodwill.
“And my friend.”
People were unable to say anything as they were overwhelmed by the spirit Leah exuded and the atmosphere she created.
“No matter what choice he makes or what position he is in. My sword will always protect him.”
Support for Leah, who was considered a strong candidate. That immediately tipped the pendulum towards Abel.
“Huh. “If this happens, there are no options left, right?”
“Isn’t the result too obvious?”
The nobles could not hide their embarrassment. The Earl of Suffolk and the old nobles of the Signor Club also whispered quietly.
“Heh.”
Abel Kindreal just relaxedly leaned back in his chair and observed the situation.
He did not defend himself or boast of his own worth. He just made people around him move on their own and support him.
That made him shine even more brilliantly.
‘Huh, indeed!’
Looking at that scene, Count Frederick Suffolk clicked his tongue.
‘I’ve been vaguely aware of it since they invaded the club.’
That the bright blue baby in front of you is not an easy person.
There was something in his blue-violet eyes that was twice as wide and twice as deep as that of an ordinary human being.
The Earl of Suffolk thought it might be greed or emptiness.
And when it comes to the current situation, I have come to a conclusion.
‘No matter how much he eats, he will never be satisfied.’

Extreme greed and emptiness, although the words were different, they were connected with the same meaning.
‘It is not the emperor’s vessel.’
Abel Kindreal is a brilliant strategist and a powerful spear. He is a man who demonstrates true power when in the hands of a good monarch.
So Frederick Suffolk could not support him.
“I will also add a word.”
He slowly opened his mouth.
Even in an atmosphere that was completely tilted toward Abel Kindreal, his heavy voice made people turn around.
“In my opinion, the conditions for an emperor are… … “It’s justification.”
Abel stared at the Earl of Suffolk. She slightly pushed up the corners of her mouth as if she was interested.
“He is chosen as emperor because he has a lot of money and because he has excellent swordsmanship.”
“… … .”
“That’s the same thing as saying that a city street junkie can ascend to the throne as long as he satisfies the conditions.”
The Earl of Suffolk ended his speech in a heavy tone.
“The emperor’s position is not like that. “He should be taken by someone who is worthy of that position.”
Who is more worthy of the cause than himself, who has maintained his place in the noble family tree for the longest time?
He knew the physiology of the empire better than anyone else, and was the person closest to the position of emperor.
The future was being drawn out step by step in the Earl of Suffolk’s mind.
A future where important talents, including Abel, are placed in the right places and the war is won with brilliant strategies.
And so it ends-
‘I will protect the empire.’
That was the sense of mission that Count Frederick Suffolk had. The only human who could accomplish this task was himself.
“… … .”
The other nobles could not object and just watched.
It was difficult to get between Abel and the Earl of Suffolk, who exchanged glances as if they were the only ones in this space.
“… … “That is what the Earl of Suffolk means.”
Finally, Abel opened his lips.
Even at that moment, his smile did not fade. It was as if the Earl of Suffolk’s attack did no harm at all.
No, rather, his attitude was as relaxed as expected.
“So, does this mean you will accept it if there is a justification?”
For a moment, the Earl of Suffolk remembered the chess he had played against Abel.
Abel’s strategy was cautious for his age, yet surprisingly bold when necessary. And he enjoyed setting traps and tempting others.
“Is that correct?”
At this moment, Abel had the same look in his eyes as when he was setting a trap.
“… … .”
The Earl of Suffolk hesitated for a moment, but
“-exactly!”
Soon, he responded forcefully, as if he was stamping a stamp.
“If there is a good cause, I will step down cleanly.”
There is no way such a thing exists, I am convinced of that.
“Hmm… … .”
Abel slowly changed the legs he was crossing. She then tilted her head slightly and closed her eyes.
“Justification, justification.”
It didn’t look like he was struggling to find a reason.
He was just waiting. The time when everything ripens and finally blooms.
‘Snake-like guy.’
Princess Violet thought.
It is said that Abel resembles a snake trying to swallow its prey whole.
‘Anyway, fox family… … .’
Leah thought.
Abel is said to resemble a white fox hiding in the snow and playfully waiting for its prey.
‘Just buy it, that one.’
Elise thought.
It is said that Abel resembles the king of beasts, leisurely lying down and looking intently at his prey.
At a time when the three women were making different decisions,
“… … .”
Rachel closed her eyes and was lost in thought.
yesternight,
Suddenly! three!
Abel laughed heartily and cut off all of Emperor Theodore’s tendons. All Rachel had to do was regenerate the skin in that area.
The whole thing took less than 10 minutes. This is because there was not a single hesitation in Abel’s cruel touch.
Crash.
Abel grabbed the dagger and put it away.
“Rachel.”
The moment he called her name, Rachel knew that an important decision had come.
“huh.”
Abel took a step closer to Rachel.
“Have you let go of your anger?”
“… … “Not everything.”
Abel chuckled at the sharp answer. An innocent smile spread across his blood-splattered white cheeks.
“As you may have heard earlier, I plan to become emperor.”
A meaningful look flashed across Abel’s eyes, but it disappeared so quickly.
“Emperor Theodore will have to watch it all helplessly. “He looks miserable and ugly.”
Rachel just listened to Abel in silence.
“How about this?”
Abel pointed his finger at Emperor Theodore next to him.
“-I think your wish has come true.”
“… … .”
“Of course, it will only be completed when I ascend to the throne of emperor.”
Rachel was not so foolish as to not understand his intentions.
“So, help yourself?”
“It’s good that you understand quickly.”
Abel said in an admirable tone.
“I think things will be easier if the only saint in the empire helps.”
“Ah, let me tell you in advance, this is not a compulsion or an order.”
Abel gently rubbed his shoulder. The very place where the Requiem emblem is located, and for Rachel, the Serenade emblem is located.
“… … .”
“It’s a suggestion, I give it to you as the owner of the Sword of the Four Seasons.”
Abel made eye contact with Rachel and spoke slowly.
“The ‘new emperor’ will not bind Serenade’s master at all.”
“… … .”
“I’ll be free and just let her live the way she wants to live.”
Exciting-
Listening to Abel’s words, Rachel felt her heart pounding.
Exciting- Exciting-
The heart, which had been dead and quiet for decades, began to come alive again after splitting Emperor Theodore’s skin.
“Just stop by sometimes and let them know you’re alive.”
“With Serenade’s vitality?”
“okay.”
If only that was it.
The clear air outside, the dazzling greenery. All the freedoms that we should have enjoyed but were robbed of.
Thump-thump-thump-
My heart was pounding so hard that it hurt.
It had already flapped its wings once and whispered to Rachel that it wanted to swim in the sky again.
“but… … .”
The moment Rachel opened her mouth with difficulty, Abel added as if he knew what she was thinking.
“If you want, you can throw away your position as a saint.”
“… … what?”
Rachel was surprised by the unexpected words and asked.
“Are you serious about that?”
“Yeah, I told you. “It sets you free.”
“Then the emperor’s cause is…” … .”
“Oh, I can’t believe you’re already worried about that. “So you’re sure you’ll help me?”
“Not yet!”
Rachel shot back angrily.
“Don’t sneak up on me. “Because it’s not certain.”
“Haha, okay.”
Abel waved his hand as if comforting a child.
“Don’t worry about what happens next. Just think of yourself.”
He came near to Rachel. His beautiful eyes folded and his face became magically colored.
“To be honest, my tricks were pretty worth watching, right?”
“… … .”
“More interesting things are waiting for you, but isn’t it a shame to end it here?”
Softly- softly-
It seemed like several tails were dancing behind Abel’s face. Like bewitching people.
Watching him laughing and treating the things he did as a joke, Rachel felt an unfamiliar feeling.
“… … I’ll think about it.”
For some reason, my throat was so tight that it was difficult to answer clearly.
For a very long time. I lived each day thinking that I just wanted to die and hoped that tomorrow would never come.
‘… … Suddenly.’
Abel showed me that a different path could unfold in my cursed life.
And now again.
“… … .”
Abel opened his eyes and looked at Rachel. Feeling his blue-violet gaze seeping through the veil.
“… … Phew.”
Rachel sighed softly.
Druk-
Finally she got up from her seat. People who were very nervous flinched and looked at Rachel in surprise.
“Saint?”
“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
Rachel stood up and said nothing for a moment.
“… … “I can feel it.”
People’s eyes widened at the unexpected remark.
That moment,
Paaaat!
A dazzling white light emanated from Rachel’s entire body.
“Ouch, my eyes!”
“What’s happening all of a sudden!”
People were so shocked that they covered their eyes.
Paaaaat!
A force so strong that Rachel’s clothes began to flutter.
“No way, this light!”
Someone shouted loudly as if they had realized something.
“It’s an oracle! It must be an oracle!”
“Isn’t this the same phenomenon as during the consecration festival?”
It was as they said.
“iced coffee.”
Rachel’s voice overlapped and split into several layers.
“God wants to talk to me.”
People didn’t know what to do and quickly made the sign of the cross.
“Dio Benedica.”
“Dio Benedica.”
Rachel paused for a moment,
“Let us find the messenger of God.”
He whispered softly in a voice that was nothing short of sacred.
“I will show you the path the empire should take.”
