Episode 52
“huh.”
Was the week-long training effective? Rush no longer felt nervous.
Seeing him with satisfaction, I put on my armor to move as a knight of the spear, and Rush looked at my back and cautiously opened his mouth.
“Cheonseong-ah.”
“Uh, why?”
After putting on my armor and lifting my helmet, I looked at Rush with puzzled eyes. Rush couldn’t speak for a moment and his mouth was dry.
When I looked at him for a moment and tilted my head in doubt, Rush turned his face away, hesitated, and then quietly spoke.
“… … Empress or something. “I was wondering what to do about that.”
empress. Come to think of it, she had never been with her woman before.
devil.
“When you become emperor, you can decide such things as you wish. “I don’t plan on worrying about that.”
“then.”
Rush quickly turned to me.
Those eyes were more serious than ever.
After looking into his eyes for a moment, I soon realized his intention and slowly began to frown.
This bastard.
“Do you want to rummage?”
“Yeah, sorry.”
After seeing Rush briefly apologize, I finished putting on my helmet.
Damn, we need to conquer this damn floor quickly.
It’s been like this for a while now, but I’m a man.
I thought that if the man teased me any longer, I would vomit, so I opened the door angrily and walked out.
Then, leading a downcast Rush, he and Number 10 entered the capital, the Imperial Castle.
That’s how we appeared in the capital, but there was no one who could block our path.
That was because military generals were walking behind us who had gone ahead.
Over the past week, I continued to recruit generals while training Rush.
The military is still suffering damage due to the nobles’ struggle for power.
If things continue like this, it is obvious that the war will continue to be a war of attrition, and the empire surrounded by the Allied Powers will gradually become weaker as if eaten by a moth due to their continuous offensives.
This was a fact that even the generals were aware of, and they were discussing the grievances together every day.
At that time, we showed them the existence of Rush, which would overcome the current situation.
The hidden card brought by Baron Andrew, who continued to invest in the military, is the bloodline of the emperor.
In a situation where it was almost certain that the emperor had passed away and all blood ties to the royal family that should succeed him had been cut off, the hidden card brought by Andrew, who would continue to support the military, was nothing short of good news for the generals.
Andrew made an appointment with the generals.
I will make this country win the war.
And that victory will be delivered by a new emperor.
Pure white light poured down through the large window, as if welcoming a new era.
Through the light, a huge round table, reminiscent of a round table, was located in the center, and the nobles who ruled this country were sitting there.
From dukes to barons. They, who had various titles, focused their attention on us as we appeared with the generals, and soon showed pained expressions.
“This is the position of Gratia Rush, who will ascend to the throne of emperor. “Why is everyone holding their heads so high?”
When a marquis-level general scolded the nobles, flames bloomed in their eyes.
“An audience with His Majesty the Emperor.”
But before they could shout, someone moved among the nobles.
The nobles who had decided to join our side in advance were quick to notice and bowed their heads, referring to Rush as emperor, while the nobles who had not yet joined our side gritted their teeth at the sight.
However, if they do not bow their heads here, they will be ignoring the emperor and their position will be in trouble.
Because they know that fact, they follow suit and try to bow their heads.
“Huh, an audience with His Majesty the Emperor. “That’s such a rude thing to say.”
At that moment, one of the nobles opened his mouth slyly.
Soon everyone’s eyes turned to him, and he slowly stood up without smiling.
His name was Duke Rochaine, and the generals frowned at his words.
“What a rude thing to say. Duke of Rochaine, what does that mean? Are you planning to oppose the ascension of Gratia Rush, a member of the royal family, to the position of emperor?”
“General, I guess there is a misunderstanding.”
He, who had a thick white beard, smiled broadly and scolded the sulking general.
The moment everyone’s faces were filled with doubt, he approached the throne, stroked it, and said:
“How can you say such things when His Majesty the Emperor is not dead yet? “If His Majesty is alive, wouldn’t this be outright treason?”
“Your Majesty is alive? what… … .”
“His Majesty has been sick in bed for some time, so he has to vacate the throne. Everything is fine now.
So, His Majesty the Emperor will rule the empire again without any problems.”
Suddenly, the moment he finished speaking, the emperor’s waiting room next to the throne opened, as if he had been waiting.
A room that would never be opened if the emperor had died.
As soon as the room opened, everyone’s eyes turned to it.
Soon the strong smell of death pierced my nose.
However, I didn’t know that I was the only one who smelled this smell and that everyone’s eyes were on the door.
Soon, the sound of footsteps began to fill the quiet hall.
“Woe, Your Majesty!”
Someone’s voice shouted in astonishment, breaking the silence, and the nobles who belatedly came to their senses quickly bowed their heads to him.
“It’s been a while since I saw you all.”
The throne, there the emperor stood.

The emperor, who had disappeared due to illness two years ago and had not been seen by any nobles, appeared in good health.
“It seems the empire has become quite chaotic while I have been sick. Don’t worry now. “I will rule again.”
As soon as his mouth opened, the bodies of the generals standing behind me stiffened.
The eyes of those who had supported Rush until just now began to shake violently and sweat poured out.
Now that the emperor who was thought to be dead has appeared in good health, how will Rush’s existence be evaluated?
Of course.
He becomes the biggest nuisance that should not be in this place.
As a criminal who rebelled against the empire to usurp the emperor’s position.
“Your Majesty, the wicked are saying that your Majesty is dead, and they are trying to take advantage of the fact that all of your immediate royal family members have passed away to devour the country. This must be severely punished.”
Duke Rochaine delivered words that would put an end to the lives of the generals who supported Rush.
Then the emperor’s eyes turned to the generals, who froze in place and could not utter a sound.
Number 10, who plays Andrew, also had a blank expression on his face, unable to keep up with the situation, and I turned my head to Rush.
Rush was looking at the Emperor.
When the emperor appeared, he was looking straight at him, even though he was instantly reduced to a criminal.
There was no doubt in Rush’s eyes now.
He was confident that once he came to this place, he would become emperor.
I liked those eyes more than I thought.
‘Okay, Rush. You are the one who will become emperor. ‘I made it that way.’
A deep smile appeared on my lips.
“Right. “6 sword system.”
After hearing everything the duke said, the emperor’s mouth opened.
At his single call, six sword emperors, the pillars protecting the empire, appeared before him and prostrated themselves, and the emperor gave them orders.
“Kill all those wicked people.”
“yes.”
After answering that, the Six Swords Emperor turned towards us with a sharp movement.
All 6 people have the skills of Sword Master or higher.
Among them, Gilbert was the only one looking directly at me, biting his lip.
The moment the aura flowed from their bodies, even the generals collapsed one by one, having experienced crossing countless lines of fire.
The nobles who were not pleased with us were looking at the current situation with great interest, and those who were on our side looked lost in the world.
I took off my helmet in front of the round table where joy and sorrow were divided.
It was immediately thrown to the floor.
Degurrrrr.
The nobles’ attention gradually focused on me as the sound of the helmet broke the atmosphere, and I cut off my armor with a sword.
There were 6 sword masters, and among them there was only one who was at the level of a grand sword master.
If you fight an opponent of that level, armor is just a cumbersome item.
“Woman?”
“The knight of Changseong is a woman?”
After taking off my helmet, the armor covering my body split open, exposing my body, and in an instant, a stir arose among the nobles who saw it.
But they soon became quiet, as if they had decided not to care whether I was a girl or not.
And the nobles looked at the Six Sword Emperor anyway, wondering what a mere mercenary could do that even an Auror couldn’t handle.
“rush.”
“okay.”
Rush, who had properly activated his emperor mode, answered in a voice full of Aura.
I drew a dark line at the corner of my mouth, looked ahead, and shouted as if showing off.
“You are the emperor! This is the man who will become the emperor of this country! The path you will walk from now on is a bloody path! Are you still going to walk? Are you going to become emperor? “Would you like to change this country?”
My harsh cries filled this place.
The echo-like voice passed through everyone’s ears, and soon Rush’s voice followed suit and echoed throughout the place.
“Gratia Rush, this is the one who will become the emperor of the empire in the future.”
The moment he shouted one word as if breaking the silence, the six sword emperors drew their swords.
They rushed in without hesitation, spreading auras, and I stood in front of them as a knight protecting the rush.
My eyes sparkled.
The mana that had been dormant deep inside the body for a long time gathered at the fingertips at a furious speed.
Pajik.
A ray of lightning flashed, and a sound of thunder rang out.
Auras that no one here could fathom poured out explosively from my entire body.
“what?”
The eyes of the Six Sword Emperor, who was about to swing his sword at me, opened wide.
As soon as they saw someone who had reached the end of a state that they themselves could not even reach, the emotions reflected in their eyes were filled with astonishment.
“I am the knight of Changseong, the best sword in the empire to protect the emperor.”
Lightning settled on my sword raised high.
The surroundings began to darken as if they were blindfolded in fear of the world due to the aura formed on the sword, and all the nobles who lacked skill fell to the ground.
The Sword Emperors forced their swords at me, pouring auras into their attacks to the limit.
But it wasn’t enough to stop me.
Toong.
The moment when the sound of water droplets falling somewhere lingered in my ears.
My sword was lowered.
And the world was swallowed up by light.
Old style
lightning
There was silence.
Right in front of the tip of the lowered sword, all the sword emperors who had faced me were swept away and fell as if signaling the end of their era.
And in front of me, there were two people who were the only ones standing with their swords raised.
First of all, one of them was Gilbert, who noticed my last attack and was the only one among the Sword Emperors who chose to defend.
But of course, the guy’s body was a mess, and all he could do was barely breathe.
“Among the Sword Emperors, you were the only one who didn’t let down his guard. Count Gilbert.”
“… … The other sword emperors also did not let down their guard. “I just thought the best move was different.”
“That’s negligence. “Your attacks cannot always reach others.”
After saying that, I patted his shoulder once and walked past him.
“Tian.”
At that moment, he desperately called my name.
When I didn’t stop despite his calls, Gilbert cried out in pain.
“first… … from. Were you able to use Aurors from the beginning?”
When he shouted as if it were his last question, I did not pay attention and just gave a short answer.
“okay.”
“… … I’m sorry. I guess I wasn’t the vessel to contain you… … .”
He gave one last bitter laugh and collapsed.
As I passed him, I made eye contact with another guy who held on without falling.
More than half of the guy’s face was crushed, and another face was visible between the ugly wounds.
“You are number 1.”
Immediately upon hearing those words, aura bloomed again from Number 1’s sword, which tore off the skin of his face.
That auror is definitely at the level of a Grand Sword Master.
As the leader of Number, he was hiding in the Empire’s proud Six Swords system.
And that too, with far superior abilities than the Six Sword Emperor.
