Chapter 33. The unknown void swallows the prominence. (5)
[It didn’t really need an introduction.]
From the first time we met, he was truly an unlucky person.
From the crooked attitude to the foolishness of kicking away the opportunity to join the Geoven Club.
It was unpleasant for a moment, but it didn’t really bother him. Knowing that he was a man with a bad reputation, I thought he would destroy himself.
[I was good at sticking my tongue out three inches today, but that method won’t work forever. I guarantee it.]
Carlisle’s prophecy has always been correct.
but.
[I suggest a battle to subdue northern monsters before the real cold begins.]
[I thought it was funny that they were asking for a match with an obvious outcome.]
[The Ovest Knights took first place in glory.]
Abel was proud of his success and made brilliant leaps every moment he was caught in sight.
Although he was still obnoxious, there was definitely something respectable about him as a knight and a swordsman.
The appearance of leading the Ovest Knights and the overwhelming atmosphere that dominates the audience. And outstanding talent.
That appearance was exactly that of Cain that Bennett had always envied and looked upon positively.
‘… … It was like that back then.’
But at some point, Cain changed.
[I’m sorry, but that’s not possible.]
He flatly refused Bennett’s request to his face.
[I think we should be more careful with that person. There is no guarantee that his sword will not be pointed at us.]
He kept others in check lest his merits be taken away,
[If you don’t take risks, you won’t gain anything.]
I was overly ambitious in doing things that were beyond my capabilities and hurt people around me.
and,
[…] … This is the first time.]
He expressed strong displeasure at the delay in the news. Staring at them including Bennett.
I still don’t know what had upset him so much.
When I close my eyes, the face of Cain I last saw comes to mind.
He doesn’t seem to have any intention of saving himself, but rather feels very pitiful.
What kind of monarch would show that kind of expression to his close friend?
[They are playing.]
Even though he said this, it was the exact opposite of Abel who was saving Derek.
Abel strictly guarded who he became. Even if he is immature and makes mistakes.
As proof, the Knights of Ovest obeyed him absolutely. Elders such as Mikel and general manager Joshua also acknowledged Abel.
The ideal emperor that Bennett had envied and portrayed was rather his.
“… … .”
Bennett was thrilled by the sight of Abel shining brightly even in the dark prison.
The emperor’s livery and pitch-black cape – it was originally red, but it looks like it was changed – suited him very well.
‘At one time… … .’
I once imagined the day when Cain ascended the throne wearing those clothes.
However, now that someone else had ascended to the throne, Bennett felt that his imagination was turning to nothing.
“It looks like you’ve already adapted to life here?”
Abel looked at Bennett and chuckled.
“Sitting feels very natural.”
“… … .”
Bennett said nothing. He just stared at Abel with sunken eyes.
Instead of hatred and contempt as before, there was resignation and compliance.
“… … “Hoo.”
Abel’s eyes narrowed. He turned to look at Bennett as if it was something new for him.
“There are a lot of familiar faces.”
Several lords flinched at his one word. These were people who had previously had a war of words with Abel in the conference hall.
“I guess this is why they tell you to wait in line.”
“… … .”
“Just a few months ago, I would never have dreamed it would be like this.”
Although he did not specifically mention it, Abel’s words poignantly pierced the prisoners’ sore spot.
“… … .”
The prisoners could not bear to respond and lowered their heads.
It was like that. I had no idea it would turn out like this.
I never thought I would stand in such a miserable state in front of Abel, whom I had dismissed as a child, and that I would be defeated so cruelly, let alone take control of the capital.
“The ransom… … .”
Someone muttered faintly,
“Fuha, ransom?”
I was interrupted by Abel’s bitter laughter.
“That’s natural.”
The prisoners were nervous because of the tone that they were going to ask for more.
“Quite a few petitions have already come in.”
Abel took out several pieces of paper from his pocket and waved them around.
“Oh, but it doesn’t match the number here?”

The corner of Abel’s mouth drew a sharp line.
“Less paper.”
“… … .”
The prisoners swallowed dry saliva and stared at the paper.
I’m sure some of them belong to our family. There’s no way my family would have abandoned me. Of course he was trying to save me.
While thinking about things like this.
“Oh, but unfortunately… … .”
Abel slowly began to look at the paper.
Flapping, flapping.
The sound of him turning the pages was the only sound in the silent prison.
The prisoners forgot to breathe and just watched the paper moving along Abel’s fingers.
‘That bastard.’
Bennett was offended by Abel’s cruel temper.
There’s no way I didn’t look at that piece of paper before coming to prison. Nevertheless, such a show is being put on to stimulate the prisoners’ eagerness.
“… … ha.”
Abel shook his head as if he felt sorry.
“Some families say they won’t pay the ransom?”
“Well, something like that… … .”
“Well, that can’t be possible!”
Some prisoners raised their voices. Some people were so shocked that their faces turned white and they couldn’t say anything.
The prisoners clung to the bars as if they were about to break them,
“Your words are short?”
I immediately shrugged my shoulders at Abel’s words. Among them was Count Barnes, whose face was still yellow.
Among the prisoners, who were looking at each other, the older ones spoke up.
“that… … “That can’t be possible.”
“Look again, look again…” … .”
They were people whose names were on the list of nobles even before Abel was born. They didn’t know that their tongues and waists were all bent.
“Is it still short?”
The smile on Abel’s mouth became even deeper. At the same time, a subtle vitality began to flow from him.
“… … !”
“Huh.”
The prisoners’ faces began to turn pale. Some elderly people were choking and clutching their chests.
It wasn’t something I felt was wrong on the battlefield.
Abel’s deadly force was aimed precisely at each person and stabbed them like a sword. I had the illusion that my throat was going to be cut off at any moment.
“… … ?”
“hmm?”
The only ones who didn’t know the English text were the guards. They wondered why the prisoners suddenly had a strangled look on their faces.
This was a part that showed how carefully Abel was controlling his life.
“I will show you one last kindness, so listen carefully.”
Abel continued speaking with a smile like the blade of a grim reaper.
“This paper claims that everything that has happened so far is your fault. In other words, it has nothing to do with family.”
“… … .”
“He said he would give up everything he had, so please save his family.”
The prisoners trembled like aspen trees.
“Some families are offering exorbitant amounts. “I wonder if it’s worth the price of the carriage to return to the territory.”
Every word Abel said pierced their hearts. I couldn’t tell whether my body was shaking from shock or pain.
“He is the head of a prestigious family, but is he only worth this much?”
“… … .”
“Or, did the eldest sons decide to take their father’s place? “This will be fun like this.”
The prisoners wanted to cover their ears.
I thought that it must be a lie, that it was a ploy to confuse us, that it was an attempt to drive us apart.
But they instinctively realized it.
They realize that they will never be able to uncover the truth of those words, and that they have no choice but to rely on the kindness that Abel gives them.
No one will get them out of prison.
“I don’t know if anyone still has hope.”
Abel stuffed the paper in his arms.
“Do you know that your ‘sun’ ran away to my territory?”
Sreung!
Requiem was pulled out. At that moment, a strange vibration shook the prison.
Purr-
Requiem’s slender sword body trembled. It is a joy to read the fear and despair that fills this prison.
“That sun will never rise again.”
Abel declared, taking on the appearance of a black knight.
“My sword, Requiem, will find and punish all those who disobey God’s will.”
His black burning eyes turned towards the prisoners.
“… … !”
The prisoners froze in place. A hint that they too will not be able to escape heavenly punishment.
dump.
Finally the prisoners fell to their knees.
“your majesty… … please… … .”
“Just life… … Please save me.”
I bent my stiff neck and prayed again and again with an earnestness that I would never experience again in my life.
“I will do anything… … .”
“Anything we can do…” … .”
It was like begging for the life of a bright blue baby, but it didn’t matter anymore.
I wanted to live. I just wanted to live.
“Hmm.”
Abel chuckled as he looked at the prisoners sobbing like children. Her face showed no sign of sympathy whatsoever.
When he winked, the guard quickly brought a chair and placed it behind Abel.
dump.
Abel sat on it and crossed his legs arrogantly.
“You said you would do anything, right?”
His eyes sparkled like a snake with its prey in front of it.
“Try it.”
It was the opening of a tear-jerking butt show.

“Someone please shut that guy up… … .”
“Leave it alone, you’re excited… … . Even if I die, I won’t listen… … .”
Roland and Klaus covered their ears in disgust.
evil- evil-
Beside him, William sharpened his knife proudly,
Pingrrr-tuk.
Dexter threw the dagger up and caught it repeatedly.
Despite all this atmosphere of discontent and threat,
“So I kicked him there. And then… … .”
Hayden continued to talk about his achievements. Passionately gesticulating with our hands and feet.
“That’s amazing.”
“Wow, that’s cool!”
Elice and Melina were enthusiastic listeners.
Every time the two people nodded and their eyes twinkled, Hayden’s story grew in size.
“Then I shouted. These guys! “Do you know who is standing in front of you?”
I couldn’t bear it anymore and threw myself at Hayden.
Sigh!
“Smash!”
Hayden rolled over with a loud noise.
“They are having fun.”
He landed lightly on the spot where he had been standing just a moment ago.
“master!”
“Master!”
The members of the Vittoria Guild stood up with joy.
“I was waiting for you to come back.”
“You seem to have become more dignified perhaps because you became His Majesty the Emperor.”
William and Dexter greet each other politely or slyly.
“I thought of course you would win. But is it okay to walk around like this?”
Elice clasped her hands together politely and smiled.
“Now that you’ve become a valuable person, I think you’re twice as busy as before.”
Even after ascending to the position of emperor, their attitude was the same. They were still loyal and tight-knit.
Because I was their master from the beginning.
“I took care of the urgent matters. And the rest… … Well, you’ll figure it out.”
I grinned, thinking of the imperial palace that must have been turned upside down by now. And she gestured toward Eli Che.
“closely.”
I opened my eyes a little and whispered into her ear as she approached me.
“Count Barnes, who was taken prisoner this time, looked ridiculous.”
“… … !”
Elice’s eyes sank coldly.
“Maybe things will work out better without you having to do anything.”
“then,”
Elice answered quietly so that only I could hear.
“We need to make it work out better.”
“good.”
I tapped Elice on the shoulder and pulled her away.
“Abel!”
Melina whined and dragged the sack that had been left next to her.
“You left it to me.”
“oh.”
He took the sack, opened it, and smiled.
“It’s fast.”
As soon as he returned to the imperial palace, he took off his black armor and gave it to her. What had been torn down and melted here and there was completely restored to its original appearance.
“You were hurt… … “No, right?”
“Thank you, not at all.”
After giving Melina a light compliment, I looked back.
“Hmm… … .”
Hayden was standing, rubbing his back, and Roland and Klaus were standing there with pitiful expressions.
fluttering.
I spread the map I had brought in my arms on the table.
Confidential information about each territory was densely written on it. It also included high-quality military information that even Elice could not obtain.
“Oh my god, how do you do this?”
“If this is… … “You think there will be enough even if we wipe out each territory?”
The faces of those who confirmed the contents brightened.
“The imperial palace will also be preparing for the competition. However, I and the knights under my direct control will move separately through the portal.”
Among them, he spoke to the knights.
“To the place where the ‘sun’ sets.”
