< Episode 316. The one who flies above the one who runs >
“I’m so sorry, but I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
I said shamelessly and lowered my head.
We both knew the truth about each other’s original sin, but actually admitting it is a different story.
“Are you making fun of me?”
“I am very grateful, Your Majesty.”
As I continued to remain ignorant, I felt the Emperor get up from his seat.
“If you thought you could fool Jim, you were wrong. “All the eyes and ears of the empire are mine.”
Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!
The sword tied to the emperor’s waist made an unusually loud sound.
“It’s not too late. “If you want to save your younger brother, hurry and blow away the original sin.”
Brother?
I felt my blood run cold.
Since the request I had already made to Vivian was related to my younger brother, I opened my mouth calmly.
“Children really don’t know what original sin is. And your younger brother?”
“Lord Cromwell, you should know that many people are dying while you are taking your time.”
It turns out I wasn’t the only one up to something.
Before I knew it, I could feel the emperor approaching very close and tapping his sword.
“Raise your head, Adrias Cromwell.”
When I raised my head, I saw the emperor smiling arrogantly.
“It seems like my little battle of wits with you was my victory.”
Judging from the way you speak, it seems like you have done something to my territory…
I looked at his chin without any change in expression. Since it was not polite to meet his eyes, I had to keep my gaze roughly there.
“I really have no idea. How dare I fight with Your Majesty.”
“Kane Cromwell.”
The emperor spoke his father’s name.
“Your father was a warlock. And he stole an important item from Jim called Original Sin and hid it.”
“······.”
“They say you are the child of a warlock. “Can we talk now?”
You really made up your mind.
But there was no need to be shaken.
Rather, I was relieved to see such a reaction.
‘I don’t know that I have original sin.’
It was clear that the emperor did not know that original sin was absorbed, as his father had left behind.
“Is that true?”
“You’re good at acting. “So she must have been able to endure until now.”
The emperor sneered as if he would not be fooled.
“Your territory should be a sea of fire by now. All the residents of the territory will die, and your sister will also be in trouble. But don’t worry. “Jim will definitely find the culprit.”
“Your Majesty, what on earth were you talking about earlier…?”
“It looks like you don’t have any intention of talking, so I guess I’ll just end this.”
He said he was confident because he had worked out something in advance.
He turned around and went back to the throne.
“Lord Xavier, guide Earl Cromwell to the villa.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“It’s a villa…”
As my face hardened at the sudden guidance from the villa, the emperor continued speaking without even looking back.
“Seeing that you are so fine despite being told that your only blood relative is in danger, it seems like you are either cold-blooded without blood or tears, or you don’t believe what I say. If that’s the case, you should show it to me.”
“your majesty! “What on earth…!”
“Now that you have come all the way to the imperial palace, please rest comfortably in the villa, Count.”
I looked embarrassed and tried not to back away, but then Xavier grabbed my arm and dragged me.
“I don’t know why you treat me like this. “I just want to prove I’m a superhuman.”
“It’s proof of being a superhuman…. “You’re not even a superhuman to begin with.”
With those words, I was grabbed by Xavier and dragged out of Daejeon.
At the same time, guardsmen poured out together, and their momentum was unusual.
“Earl Cromwell, it’s a hassle to use force, so I’d like you to move gently if possible.”
Xavier spoke emotionlessly with an expressionless face.
But I could feel the ferocious energy hidden within with my whole body.
“Are you trying to detain me?”
“I’m done with pretending to be an Auror master, Count.”
Sreung! Sreung!
The knights surrounding me simultaneously drew their swords.
“I won’t say anything. “Follow me.”
Xavier let out a sigh and walked ahead in the direction of the annex.
As I stood still looking at him, a sharp energy emanated from around me.
Of course, the Imperial Guard Knights. Each one is strong.
“Whoa.”
I sighed and walked, showing that I had no choice but to move.
As the site of the imperial palace was large, there were many annex palaces, and I was guided to the one closest to the imperial palace.

“Just in case, don’t try to escape. “It’s annoying to see blood.”
Soon after completing the tour, Xavier disappeared, leaving only the guards by my side.
“ha.”
I sighed loudly on purpose and wandered around looking restless.
“Why on earth do you…”
As I was wasting time muttering to myself from time to time, someone knocked on the door.
smart!
“Who are you?”
One of the guards watching me frowned and asked.
“His Highness Michaela has visited.”
The guards immediately seemed to tense up at the answer coming from outside.
“Bio informs that no one can face the person who is here now! Please comfort Her Highness and make her step down…”
Jump up!
Before the guard knight could finish answering, someone opened the door and came in.
The face I hadn’t seen in a long time was Princess 3, Michaela.
“Her Royal Highness!”
“I don’t know how this happened.”
Michaela ignored the guards and focused only on me.
“It’s been a while, Lord Cromwell.”
“See you, Your Majesty.”
Although I was greeted first, an unexpected person appeared.
The princess wasn’t in the plan…
Well, it doesn’t matter.
“Everyone, stay out. “I will have a private meeting with Lord Cromwell.”
“Your Royal Highness, you can now face Count Cromwell…”
“Is it a nickname?”
When Michaela asked, the guard knight’s answer became difficult.
“It’s not like that, but…”
“Then quickly get out of the way. “It only takes a moment.”
“Uh, Your Highness.”
“Are you ignoring what I said?”
As Michaela spoke with twinkles in her eyes, the guards eventually began to leave.
Seeing that he seemed to have more power than I thought, I began to wonder if the power structure within the imperial family had changed.
“Ha, I never thought Lord Cromwell would come here on his own feet.”
After everyone left, Michaela, the only man left, let out a sigh.
“I’ve been looking into it for a while. Thanks to you, I was able to learn about the secret history of your family and the imperial palace.”
“What are you saying…?”
“Lord Cromwell, you don’t have to hide it from me like that. First of all, surviving is important, right? If things continue like this, Lord Cromwell will definitely die.”
Is this also the emperor’s masterpiece?
The imperial palace was in a state of turmoil.
Even if you say it like that, it could end up being a trap. There was no reason for Michaela to be nice to me in the first place.
“I came after receiving a call from Duke Morhaime. “Is this enough for you to trust me?”
“Your Majesty, I am sorry. “Right now, I can’t even keep up with what’s happening…”
“I decided to take the completely opposite route to the Emperor. “Didn’t Duke Morhaime tell you?”
It was unconventional to see him openly call his father emperor and be hostile to him.
“Can I tell you more so that you can believe that I am on your side? The Emperor is now crazy. I don’t know why, but he’s making a crazy plan. “Thanks to the Prime Minister’s involvement, I now have all of that information.”
“What is that…”
“The emperor is slowly trying to follow his crazy plan. “If that happens, not only the empire but the entire continent will fall into chaos.”
Yes, I know.
Actually, I didn’t know the reason in the game, but I realized through this life that this was all the emperor’s plan.
“You are the first step. “The starting point is probably the original sin that you are hiding somewhere.”
“What on earth is this original sin?”
“Ha, it’s okay. It’s actually nicer to see him so thorough. But why did such a thorough person step into a dangerous situation?”
Michaela glanced at me with frustration and then came closer to me.
There is no sense of helplessness through her body language.
There was no need to be on guard.
“Please listen.”
She was close to my ear.
“For now, I will help you get out of here with my own strength. “Even if it’s hard right now, I can do it somehow until tomorrow.”
A tickling voice and breath rang in my ears.
“Are you saying you want to let me escape?”
“is it so. “I made a deal with Duke Morhaime, so if I’m not going to betray him, I should help him.”
It seemed like Morhaime did a good job based on the information I gave him.
To be honest, I didn’t have much political skills, so I didn’t give much advice, but I did a good job.
“Once you get out there, there won’t be any problem. “Even the emperor couldn’t catch him because he used the justification of proving that he was a superhuman, so once he leaves the palace, they won’t be able to ask him why he left on his own.”
Todo dodog!
As Michaela continued speaking for a while, an urgent knock was heard on the room door.
“What’s going on?”
“Your Highness Michaela! Now, Sir Xavier is said to be rushing towards this place!”
“ah!”
Michaela’s eyes wavered as she saw the maid entering the room and speaking.
But then he spoke firmly.
“First of all, like I said at the beginning, order the guards to stop it.”
“Well, that is… As you said in advance, some of the escort knights went and blocked it…”
The trembling maid continued speaking with difficulty with an expression filled with fear.
“They say they killed them all. No, they say they are coming to kill us.”
“what?!”
It seemed like Michaela had sensed my intention to escape.
“······.”
Michaela chewed her lip in agony.
While checking on her, I glanced at the time.
Soon.
“I never thought they would react so quickly to the story that I came forward.”
Michaela eventually acknowledged her defeat and looked at me with sad eyes.
However, he soon noticed my expression and asked me with a face full of doubts.
“Lord Cromwell?”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Why are you so relaxed? You now have no hope of escape. “The only option left is to die.”
“well.”
Time is almost up.
At that moment, I felt the ferocious energy of Xavier gradually getting closer.
thud!
“Excuse me.”
Xavier’s casual clothes were covered in blood as he came in through the door. Fresh, warm blood was dripping from the sword he was holding.
“Sir Xavier.”
Xavier looked at us with an expression that would not have been thought of as having killed a person, wiped the blood on his clothes and put away his sword.
“What on earth is that blood?”
“There were people blocking the road, so we dealt with it quickly. “I will apologize separately later.”
“Are you saying you did that even though you knew they were my subordinates?”
“That’s right.”
Michaela expressed her anger at Xavier’s confident words.
But to me, it just seemed like an act to attract attention.
“How dare you do that? “You killed all my guards?”
“That’s right.”
“under! Sir Xavier, no matter how much you are the commander of the Knights of the Guard, this has gone too far…”
“You’re still safe. “I was worried that Her Highness Michaela might be taking her somewhere.”
Michaela’s acting didn’t work.
Xavier’s eyes have been on me ever since I entered this room.
More than that, it seems like Michaela is genuinely trying to save me. Just finding out that it wasn’t a trap was a huge achievement.
“It’s time.”
When I quietly joined in and spoke, Michaela turned around and looked at me as if asking what I was talking about.
“It was an honor to meet you both. See you next time then.”
“yes?”
“What are you talking about, Adrias Cromwell?”
This is an imperial palace where the use of magic is strictly controlled.
It was a place where even Bahat Alven of the world could not use space magic.
But there is something about me that goes beyond magic.
Tiring!
[The starlight of Metene is calling.]
[Do you want to respond to the summons?]
Named item, Starlight of Metene.
It is an item that performs miracles that surpass even magic.
‘I respond to the summons.’
Tiring!
[You have agreed to the summons.]
[The summoning begins to the side of the caster ‘Amy Cromwell’.]
This was the plan I wrote down in the memo I handed to Vivian. Contact Cromwell through the communications store to set a time and have him use the Starlight of Metene.
As soon as Vivian finished the communication, she wrote down to take the train to Cromwell.
“Then goodbye…”
Michaela couldn’t close her mouth in shock as she watched me disappear.
Sreung!
Suddenly!
On the contrary, Xavier was not at all embarrassed and immediately pulled out his sword and swung it at me.
But I’m not the type of person who can fall victim to such unrefined attacks.
Fit!
uh? You couldn’t avoid it?
A light cut was left on the chin, but the summoning was ultimately successful.
Ugh—–!
Hwaaaaaaa!
“brother!”
The dazzling vision returned and a welcome voice was heard.
however······.
“What are you?”
The beastmen surrounding Amy and me were giving off a sinister aura.
