silence.
Absolutely complete silence fell over the banquet hall, with not even the slightest sound of breathing being heard.
With countless eyes wide open towards just one person.
‘Now…what?’ ‘What on earth did you hear?’ People had the same questions at the same time
And, through the appearance of a young man at the end of their gaze, they were able to recall ‘that remark’ they had heard a moment ago.
‘If you want to kill, kill, and if you want to save, save. Isn’t that your Majesty’s specialty?’
That one word rang out so clearly that everyone in the room could hear it.
Even though they doubted and recalled their memories once, twice, or ten times, people opened their mouths in a daze, forgetting about the pain they felt as the reality remained unchanged. I barely swallowed the swear words on the tip of my tongue.
‘What a crazy guy.’
In fact, even the expression “crazy guy” was a far cry from what that young man, Jin Tae-kyung, had done.
He provoked me to my face. she quipped.
To the Emperor and no one else.
To that usurper who cut down tens of thousands of political opponents like a harvester and established the most powerful centralized system since King Taejo, who established a great nation.
‘You’re crazy. It’s really crazy.’ A coffin of low rank who sat in the bottom row.
Not only Lee, but even the high-ranking officials, who can be said to be the core of the political world, kept their mouths shut with ashen faces.
A situation that cannot and should not have happened.
It was an atrocity that was not strange even if called treason, so it was obvious that it would happen soon.
Die, die, and die again.
Jin Tae-kyung and his family, as well as everyone else related to him, will disappear into the dew of execution.
And there was a strong possibility that the names of several people who were completely unrelated would also be included in the kill report to be prepared under the leadership of the Justice Committee.
The loyal subjects of the late emperor who are no longer dead.
It was not difficult to predict that some forces that considered King Sangsan to be the true successor would be targeted.
evidence? Justification?
That didn’t matter.
All you have to do is create evidence and justification anyway.
As one struggles with the pain of having one’s flesh and muscles torn by torture devices, no matter how loyal one is, one ends up begging for death.
The torture technicians under the imperial family had the skill to change lies into truth and truth into lies, and the role previously given to alumni had long since been passed on to the Geumui Committee.
In other words, the hilt of the sword rested on only one person.
Emperor.
Now, with one word from him, everything will end.
Since Jin Tae-gyeong had already given him a reason to punish him, it was no wonder what the blade the emperor would soon wield would cut down.
Even if the final goal is King Sangsan.
‘I can’t believe you’re doing such a ridiculous thing. ‘What on earth were you thinking…!’
Wow.
Some of the large and small ministers who were watching this unbelievable situation had to grit their teeth to suppress moans that were about to burst out.
Each and every one of them secretly supports King Sangsan, or dreams of revolt by writing their name on the kite.
To those people, this whole situation felt like a terrible disaster.
Since Jin Tae-gyeong entered the imperial court as a guest of King Sangsan, King Sangsan would also not be able to avoid responsibility.
“Heh, heh. This is how Heaven’s destiny leaves the great kingdom.’
Those who did not know the plan related to the rebellion lamented the resentful sky.
‘It went against the original plan, but there’s nothing we can do about it. Now that things have come to this, we need to step forward right now.
Those who signed the petition were fully prepared and kept their eyes on Masambo, who was watching the situation with a stern expression on his face.
To begin action as soon as his instructions are given.
But the next moment.
“Yes, you are right.”
The emperor’s words, which rang out and broke the long silence, were enough to once again plunge everyone into the abyss of shock.
“And those who want to become saints will not punish those who speak the truth.”
“Jin Tae-kyung of Taewon Jinga.”
The emperor, standing in the center of the quiet silence, spoke calmly.
“In the name of the Son of Heaven, I forgive you for the disrespect you have shown me.”
Forgiveness.
It was definitely said to be forgiveness.
He, like no one else, brutally slaughtered tens of thousands of people.
The cruel emperor who caused treason and great purges.
The people, once again at a loss for words, stared blankly at the back of the Absolute.
Except for just one person.
Jin Tae-gyeong, who read the part of emotion that he could not hide in the face of the emperor who was facing him directly, thought to himself. ‘Yes, it comes out like this.’
The previous provocation of the emperor was a life-threatening gamble.
If it fails, everything the anti-government forces planned in advance may be ruined.
‘So, it had to be now.’
And the result of that risky gamble was success.
As dangerous as it was, I obtained an important key, and the emperor’s answer was enough to resolve my doubts.
‘It makes no sense to forgive in this situation.’
Except for one case.
Jin Tae-kyung quietly swallowed his words.
The puzzles scattered everywhere are put together one by one.
My mind, which seemed like it was going to explode just a moment ago, gradually became clearer, and my calm, calm mind was illuminating a new path.

Of course, despite this, not all questions have been resolved yet. ‘But, why on earth?’
Jin Tae-gyeong sent a message to the emperor.
No, more accurately, I was trying to charm him.
If it weren’t for someone who arrived here at the right time.
“It’s nice to hear that you want to become such a merciful saint.”
14……I”
Jin Tae-gyeong was faster than the emperor, and Baek-yeon’s reaction was a little faster than Jin Tae-gyeong. Somewhere only five pages away.
The pale-skinned old man, who appeared without any sign of popularity with a graying voice, spoke to the emperor.
“Your Majesty, the late Emperor, will also be happy. “Isn’t that right?” Sreuk.
The long white hair, along with the slowly raised head, is disturbing.
The emperor’s stern face was reflected in the gray eyes that had been preserved for a long time, and a dry voice came out between cracked lips.
“God, classmate Tae-gam (東廉掌印太監). “We Chong meets Emperor Pe Xia.”

The moment I saw Wei Chung, I was reflexively thinking of a classic movie I saw when I was young.
In a vast fantasy world, a party of multi-ethnic warriors go on a journey to destroy a necklace that is the source of the Demon King’s power.
And one of the central characters is an old wizard.
“•“…Gandalf?”
White hair that seemed to reach his knees and gray eyes.
In fact, if you really have to ask, it’s closer to ‘Very Sick Gandalf’, but the resemblance is undeniable.
If there is a slight difficulty caused by this, it is that the thought pops up out loud without realizing it.
‘ah.’
I realized the situation and kept my mouth shut, but it was already too late.
Not only the emperor, but everyone’s eyes, which had been looking elsewhere for a moment, were focused on me.
And among them was a very sick Gandalf, or rather a stomach worm. “He’s the one you’ve only heard about.”
What should I answer?
After thinking for a moment, I nodded slightly instead of answering, and Wei Chung, who smiled, turned his head towards the emperor again.
“You are truly rude. Isn’t that right? your majesty.”
But the emperor did not answer.
He was staring at Wei Chung with deeply sunken eyes, and when he opened his mouth, the air around him was so cold that it froze.
“Even so, it’s been a while since I thought about sending someone because I couldn’t see you, Changgong. In the meantime
“Are you okay?”
“After recuperating for quite a long time, I was finally able to move around like this. “All of this was possible thanks to the benevolence of His Majesty the Emperor.”
“It’s Jim’s blessing. Are you sure?”
“Even the so-called great doctors could not guarantee Sosin’s life, and seeing that he has improved so much, it must be because of Heaven’s will. So, I think it is all thanks to His Majesty, the descendant of Heaven.”
“It’s a shame. If I had followed the advice of the doctor I sent and made a decoction, I would have been able to overcome my illness faster.”
“I’m sorry. However, it seemed that Soshin’s old body could not handle the decoction prepared by the royal doctor, so he had no choice but to choose convalescence. Haon De•”…
Wei Chong suddenly looked at the emperor with a pensive look on his face.
“Perhaps it is because it has been so long since I last saw you, Your Majesty, your eyesight does not look very good. “It is not possible that the body that should be strong has become sick.”
At that moment, a cool feeling passed through the emperor’s already frozen eyes.
“No need to worry. “It’s not something you should worry about.”
“Then I am very fortunate. Since he has become such a tolerant saint, shouldn’t he rule the world forever and ever?”
I feel it.
The emperor and the firmament.
The invisible blades that two people constantly exchange with each other.
And before you know it, a huge energy is flowing from the emperor.
Wooooow.
The surrounding atmosphere is shaking. Several officials nearby trembled, their faces turning white as if they were getting chills.
Although he is shrouded in the halo of being an emperor, he is also a transcendent expert who has entered the realm of superhumans.
but······.
‘The sky, the author is different.’
I knew it from the moment he first appeared.
The fact that that pale-skinned old man who resembles Gandalf is more expert than anyone else here.
‘Even white smoke.’
A battle between extreme masters can literally mean the difference between life and death in a split second.
The fact that I could not feel any sign of the sky’s presence even though I had only approached the distance of about five lengths meant that the player had already been taken away.
‘Now I understand. The reason why Masambo was so confident.’
According to what I felt, the inaction of Chang Gong and Xiao Qiao was on an equal level.
In this situation, if Jeok Cheon-gang and other forces who are not yet in the grand banquet hall join the rebel army, they will be able to easily defeat Xiao Qiao.
Of course, even that small school hasn’t made an appearance yet.
‘He’s probably protecting King Sangsan somewhere else.’
King Sangsan is a very important key.
An entity that must never be taken away by the enemy, regardless of whether it is the rebel army or the emperor.
And it seemed I wasn’t the only one who had similar thoughts.
“your majesty. The weather seems to be particularly cool today, perhaps because of the recent rain and wind. “Why don’t you show some leniency for the sake of those poor subjects?”
He opened his mouth politely and leisurely, as if he had suddenly remembered Changgong, who was pointing at his trembling subjects with serious words.
“By the way, why is it that you can’t see the palace mama after meeting with His Majesty King Sangsan? Those two people, who are members of the imperial family in name and reality, should grace this occasion with His Majesty the Emperor… ‘Shut your mouth. “Stomach bug.”
The moment when Baekyeon cut off Chang-gong’s words with a hard voice and was about to step forward. ”stop.”
The emperor raised his hand to stop him and stared at Wei Chong with cold eyes.
“There is no need to worry about the sky. “The two of you are already here.”
“I am devastated. One day, I will finally meet the successor who will rule this vast country.”
“Yes, that will happen.” Neither of them spoke. Also, I didn’t even bother to ask.
Who is the true successor they have in mind? Who does the other person think is the successor?
But they will be waiting. May this banquet mature. May the fuse’s flame burn till the end. And so did I.
“excuse me. I think the conversation between you two has almost come to an end. “Can I just say something discreetly?”
The emperor answered.
“What is it?”
“It’s nothing special. I think you’re going to go to the head table over there now. At this point, I would also like to change my seat. “If possible, a seat next to an adult would be better.”
“······Do you want me to change my seat?”
While the frozen great and minor gods shot me with one mind and intent a look that threatened to kill me, Chang Gong opened his mouth on behalf of the emperor, who was momentarily at a loss for words.
“Well, is there any special reason?” I answered with as confident and cool a look as I could.
“I think the upper seats seem to have more side dishes.”
Of course, it didn’t look particularly cool.
