Episode 231. Beliefs and Questions (1)
A confusing situation where you can’t figure out what’s going on.
However, there was one common thought that was currently on people’s minds.
Those knights holding golden swords are out of their minds right now.
Although they were moving in the name of following the emperor’s orders, there was no self in their eyes.
Fortunately, the knights were better.
The person I don’t understand the most is definitely the emperor.
Look at that dependable and sturdy figure.
Who would see this as a sick emperor who was lying in his sickbed until this morning?
Doesn’t this make it feel like you’re being controlled by some unknown force?
Otherwise, the emperor’s condition could not be explained.
“Uh, what should I do?”
“It’s His Majesty’s command! “We need to go and apply right now!”
“Yeah, that’s true, but… … .”
Some of the knights didn’t know what to do, so they just looked at each other and asked various questions.
Jereon, who was watching the situation, approached them.
“Your sword has no light.”
Most of the knights who inherited the power of the holy sword were knights of salvation or veteran knights belonging to the imperial army whose skills were proven.
In other words, the knights who did not receive power were ordinary knights whose power was much lower than those who received it.
Those who were manifesting the power of the Holy Sword were not only the Imperial Army and the Knight of Salvation.
“Uh, come back quickly, Jake!”
“What’s going on, Bomber? “Why don’t you listen to my orders?”
“Run in front of me right now, Marinell!”
Some nobles were shouting loudly.
At the scene, even the personal guardian knights who accompanied the nobles for the meeting were clashing swords, threatening to punish the assassins.
Strictly speaking, they were knights who had to follow their lord’s orders more than the emperor’s orders.
The nobles were literally going crazy and jumping around because the knight, who should have died if it were their lord’s words, was listening to them.
Of course, the light of the holy sword was shining brightly on the swords of those knights.
“What are they doing!”
Soon, a knight of salvation who was engaged in a bloody fight with an assassin shouted as he looked at the hesitating knights.
“We are knights of salvation who purify the evil of this land and maintain peace! “Shouldn’t we immediately suppress those impure elements who are interfering with the establishment of a new order?”
Not to be outdone, a knight belonging to the imperial army also spoke out.
“His Majesty’s command has been delivered! “Why are you hesitating?”
“B-But His Majesty, until this morning… … !”
“Don’t question that! All we have to do is believe the Emperor’s words and follow his orders! “Raise your sword with firm conviction, knights!”
Some of the knights who hesitated for a while, perhaps moved by those words, rushed forward with their swords in hand.
However, even that just seemed uncomfortable to Jereon.
“Is this what you meant by the power of belief?”
Unconditional obedience without any questions or doubts.
How can this be any different from a doll?
This could never be called a correct order.
“Jereon, maybe it would be good for us?”
Upon hearing the situation, his subordinates rushed to him and asked for instructions.
The good news is that there are still knights left, including his subordinates, who have doubts about the current situation and do not dare to step forward.
Jereon looked back at them and said.
“Let’s try an experiment.”
The articles expressed their doubts about the experiment being carried out out of the blue.
“I won’t force you. But from now on, I plan to approach those assassins and fight with them. “Only those who have a heart will follow me.”
The knights asked back with disgusted faces.
“Well, what do you mean by that? Fighting alongside assassins? Why do such a thing… … .”
“Is it to maximize the feelings that are blooming in your head right now?”
The knight, who did not understand what was being said, blinked.
“What we need now are questions, not beliefs. Why do we have to fight those assassins? Why are those assassins doing this? If you keep asking that question… … .”
Jereon drew his sword with stern eyes.
“It might get us closer to the truth about this situation.”
There was a strong will in his eyes to solve a question that had been lingering for decades right here and there.

Knights who unleash the power of their holy swords to deal with assassins,
As soon as the battle started, Xian rushed towards Eshel without any delay.
Who could ever think of wanting to participate in that fierce competition?
Knowing that she could never intervene in that area, Arin turned her gaze to face the person she had to deal with.
“… … .”
Emperor Dione is facing Arin with a solemn, undisturbed gaze.
Just looking at it made my heart heavy and the hands holding the sword trembled like aspen trees.
Why does this have to happen?
To have to leave so many people in the world behind and aim my sword at my dearest and most respected emperor and father?
For Arin, there was no tragedy like this.
Arin shook her head quickly, as if trying to forget her foolish feelings.

The emperor is not in a normal state right now.
It is clearly not moving by its own power, but by power artificially injected by someone.
I had to calm it down before it got even worse.
The only one who can play that role is yourself,
Arin had no doubt about it.
“Look behind you, Resimus!”
“I understand, princess!”
Arin gave a powerful shout and rushed straight to the emperor.
-visor!
It was a sincere blow without any hesitation, but the emperor blocked it without any difficulty.
Although she was momentarily taken aback by the feeling that it was heavier than expected, Arin continued to attack without stopping.
-visor! visor!
Even Resimus joined in and showed a fierce momentum in perfect harmony,
“… … .”
The emperor parried all of their blows without taking a single step.
It wasn’t magic or the power of a holy sword.
This is purely the emperor’s natural power.
The emperor had outstanding skills from the beginning, to the point where he could withstand an unreasonable battle of 2 vs 1 with simple sword skills.
“What are you doing, Arin?”
The emperor opened his mouth and asked as they stood apart for a moment.
“I really want to ask you a question! Aren’t you Abama Masi, who was lying in a hospital bed just this morning? “If you haven’t been hiding your power for so long, how can you show it like this?”
“It is the emperor’s destiny to squeeze out his strength even if it means cutting his life short.”
The emperor’s answer was truly decisive.
“If I don’t move, the empire and even the continent will be engulfed in great chaos. To prevent that, I have no choice but to stand up. Even if… … .”
The emperor looked intently at the other hand that was not holding the sword.
A stark tremor that appears despite desperate efforts to control it.
It was clearly a symptom showing that it was not in perfect condition.
“Even if I collapse here today… … .”
However, the emperor tightened his fists as if he was willing to endure it.
Arin appealed passionately to persuade the emperor.
“Abama is doing something wrong! They are not the ones causing chaos on the continent! You can wait a little longer and decide what the truth is… … .”
“I don’t have time for that. scale.”
What came back was the emperor’s indifferent answer.
“As emperor, I do not have much time left to protect this empire. That is why the body, not the head, has no choice but to move first.”
The emperor aimed his sword at Arin with unchanging, stern eyes.
“So don’t try to convince me. Still, if you want to show that your beliefs are correct, you will have to prove it with actions, not words! “Knock me down right here, Arin!”
“… … !”
“Can you defeat me and take my place?”
Arin couldn’t answer that it was possible.
“Unprepared beliefs are nothing more than foolish stubbornness! “With a mind like that, you can never become emperor!”
The emperor left his seat and quickly sprinted towards Arin.
Arin quickly took a stance to defend herself, but
-Kang!
Unable to withstand the emperor’s tremendous strength, his body fell over.
“Princess!”
Resimus hurriedly ran and took the emperor’s sword instead.
Arin’s body spun twice in the air and she fell to the floor, but she got up right away without delay.
‘What about Abama… … ?’
Actually, if you think about it, there was nothing wrong with what was said.
Helping Xian in this situation ultimately goes against the will of the imperial family and the empire.
In other words, Arin had to prove that what had happened was not wrong.
Not through clumsy persuasion, but through action.
Because an emperor cannot afford to think about even the smallest detail,
You must always be willing to handle everything and make sacrifices.
Saying that you want to become an emperor without even having those things in place is…
It was literally nothing more than an ordinary aircraft.
Arin regained her composure and aimed her sword at the emperor again.
“Abama is right! An unprepared belief is nothing but stubbornness! So let me show you! “My ready faith!”
The last 7 years of hard work after seeing the draft.
To prove that her efforts were not in vain, Arin drew out not only the power of the holy sword, but all the original mana that had been sleeping within her.
-Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesss
Soon, a silver aura flickered from the sword that reacted to the mana.
It’s not for Xi’an.
This was not out of a desire to save Xian, but for herself, who had run for a long time to achieve her wish to become emperor.
Now is the time to prove that resolve in front of the emperor.
After completing preparations, Arin ran straight to the emperor.
“… … .”
The emperor also prepared to defend himself by unleashing the power of the holy sword that he had suppressed for a while.
Stay still.
don’t do anything
No one told her what to do.
Just one person.
Only Xian was the first to show Arin the way by telling her to become emperor.
Regardless of whether it is possible or not,
Arin has been running tirelessly to achieve her first goal.
The emperor thought Arin was amazing and did not spare any advice, telling her not to overdo it but to do everything she can.
However, that is literally just good advice to hear.
The emperor was no longer giving advice, but instead spoke of the harsh reality that one must have in order to become an emperor.
If she wasn’t prepared at all, the sword she was wielding now would be thrown away without even being able to reach the emperor.
Because she knows it herself,
He swung his sword at the emperor with everything he had to pull Arin out.
-visor!
With a clear bursting sound, a sword soared into the air.
The sword soon fell to the floor without any force, and its bright brilliance slowly faded.
“haha… … .”
Arin let out all her strength and took a deep breath.
It was so dangerous that it would collapse immediately if touched slightly, but it held on desperately, using its mental strength.
The emperor said nothing.
All I can hear is her labored breathing.
At this, Arin slowly raised her head.
“… … .”
The emperor was looking down at her with a face that had not changed at all from the beginning.
However, there was nothing in his hands.
On the other hand, Arin’s hand held a silver sword that was still emitting clear magical power.
It was cut off.
The Emperor’s Sword.
She proved to the emperor her determination to become emperor.
The emperor’s mouth, which had been drawing a straight line, finally opened in a semicircle.
“Good job. scale.”
A short word that doesn’t require any other words.
In conclusion, with that one word,
-Soak
The emperor collapsed helplessly in Arin’s arms.
