Desire

Caught you.

I didn't feel surprised. The moment I heard that the emperor called himself, I thought, I don't think someone in a position that size would call on someone for no reason. How many times have I not summoned a mere escort knight for trivial reasons?

It must have been called for a reason.

“How did you know? ”

Azin asks. The question raises the Emperor's mouth. “You still speak louder. Is that supposed to be polite?” The emperor asked. He deliberately told me about Azin himself. Master of the Jinsun Moors. Even the emperor of the Moorish is not an exaggerated position.

“This place is not a jungle. ”

Ajin replied.

“Since you are here in Gracia, just follow the laws of Gracia. How can I be without title and nothing? It's just a knight, and an escort knight for Prince Hermione. I don't think it's a safe place to talk to the king. ”

“Good. What if this wasn't Gracie? ”

“I wouldn't have bowed my head to you. ”

Azin smiled and replied.

“If this were an advance other than Gracia, it would have been your job to bow your head. If he was bluffing, he would have died right there. ”

Heave-ho. The Master of the Crisis has the sword. It was rude. The emperor raised his hand to such a chieftain.

“Don't do anything useless. ”

“But, Your Majesty. ”

“No, you don't have to stop it. Because you're gonna die anyway.

The emperor said without changing his face. He said that, and his face twitched. “.. I'm not sure what you mean.” His words make the emperor smile low.

“You will die. Fight that guy. ”

The emperor reaches forward. The spirit kings prowl behind his back.

“So stay still. Don't interrupt.”

The emperor has come down the stairs. Azin looks directly at the emperor who is approaching him. I've never seen a Spirit King before. But a Spirit King? I've never seen a human sign a contract with a Spirit King of four attributes before. Perhaps even a dragon would be impossible.

“How did you know?" I asked. ”

The steps of the emperor have stopped. It was a short distance from Ajin. A distance away from your fist. But that's the distance we can narrow it down in the blink of an eye.

“You sent someone. For the first time in Gratia, next to the Bulisar Desert, the Hizen lands. There I questioned someone who knew you. ”

It wasn't hard. It's not uncommon. There have always been a few pioneers who arrive in Gracia across the desert. Since Ajin had been transferred to Gracia over a year ago, you can hear about Ajin as much as you want if you ask the Zionist who recently arrived in Gracia from the Hizen Territory. Especially celebrities.

“I've learned most about you. He's quite a celebrity.I don't know much about doorframes or moors or anything like that. But I do understand war. When you're here, you know war better than anyone. ”

The emperor smiles bloody.

“That was pretty interesting. I felt like I was on a timeline. The doorway... a small force. We set out from there and we will unite a faction completely, and then we will work with the hostile forces to fight back against the enemy. After his victory, even the hostile factions were defeated. Do you know the story of the warrior? ”

“.. of Rivera? ”

“No, what I'm talking about is a little bit more classic than that, a story of a warrior who often appears in old stories. ”

The emperor's eyes narrowed.

“Little town boy. The boy who leaves town gathers his allies and defeats the Demon King. And build a kingdom and be king. Isn't that supposed to be everywhere? And just like you. ”

“This is a common repertoire. ”

Ajin shakes his head.

“And I had no choice but to do it, instead of what I wanted back then. ”

“I was capable of that. ”

The Emperor says, the Spirit of Fire king bows down. The flame blazes on Azin. Reached out, but I can't feel the heat. No, that's not it. It just didn't open up.

If a creature of that magnitude were to radiate heat, this space would be set ablaze in an instant.

“I don't understand. ”

The emperor said.

“With that much power, you're in that position. Why are you here in Gracia doing this? Why are you acting like a clown by becoming a Hermione escort knight? ”

“That's what I need. ”

“To what?”

Azin kept his mouth shut.

“Are you after Gracia? ”

The emperor asked again. After the Spirit King of Flame, the other Spirit Kings move on. Four beings with enormous magical power surround him. Flames, water, wind, earth. Can we win? First, I tried to compare against him.

“If you were aiming for Gracia, you would have chosen a more precise method. ”

“The right way. Like what?"

“The assassination of the emperor. ”

Azin replies, his face distorted and the emperor smiles. The smile that started low became higher.

“Will you assassinate me? ”

“If I had plotted the conquest of Gracia. We're not trying to trick him, so we're doing this unnecessary thing. ”

The conquest of Gracia. That's not so bad either. But I know that's not possible. I am not willing to leave the assassination of the Emperor and rule this great land. But we can still create chaos. If only I could kill the Emperor here and now.

“I came to Gracia simply because of my personal curiosity. ”

Let's lie. You're a good liar. Ajin's principle is to turn Hermione into an emperor and through him invade the Black Forest with the power of Gracia. In the process, we cut off Gratia's power and target the Black Forest. If you succeed in attacking the Black Forest, Harvest will lose power significantly.

“I've been thinking since I was on the move. I want to go somewhere far away. Across the desert, across the sea. I want to see the whole world where I live. ”

It's a good swell.

“But I was so busy in the field, so much work, I couldn't do it. And then I barely got a crack. I didn't have to be there, so I took a long vacation as an opportunity. ”

“Entertainment?”

“Yuhui.”

Ajin replied.

“Becoming a knight is quite a hobby. We needed an identity. We needed an identity that we could use anywhere. And then I went to Celebrity. I wanted to feel reasonably relaxed and forget about my hard work on the line. ”

“Monster Raid. ”

“It was a coincidence. It was unfortunate. I wanted to relax in the countryside, but I had no idea that I was going to go through with it. But I worked hard to fix it. ”

“What did you meet with Hermione? ”

“That too is a coincidence. ”

Azin laughs.

“Prince Hermione suggested it first. Be my escort. I wanted to say no, but I thought it would be fun. So I responded.”

“Did you calculate?”

“In the distant future? ”

The conversation is unblocked. The emperor looked straight at Azin, and Azin looked at the emperor as well.

“There's nothing wrong with making friends. ”

Azin's jaw rises.

“If Emperor Hermione becomes the next emperor, nothing bad will happen to me. As the king has said, I am at a high place in the jungle. If you know the emperor of Gracia, you'll be proud of him someplace. ”

The emperor kept his mouth shut. Nothing stood in the way of Azin. There is also no reason to support Hermione. If Hermione becomes emperor with the help of Azin, Azin will be obliterating a great debt to the next Emperor of Gracia.

“How about this? ”

The emperor is troubled. The spiritual kings show strength. A huge pressure presses down on the pain. This is quite... well stocked. Pressure presses the flesh, bone, and intestine. I tightened my lower back a little.

“Stop the Hermione escort knights and follow me. I'll give you a job as director of the death squad. ”

“I don't need it. ”

“Then I'll give you a title. I'll give you the Duke's seat. I give you great territory as your own. Plenty of land.”

“I don't need it. ”

“Why?”

“I'm afraid of the Emperor. ”

Ajin replied without changing his face.

“I followed His Highness Hermione because I felt a little empathy for him. I thought I wanted to make him emperor. But not you. I can't trust you. ”

“Is that why you refuse? ”

“I don't trust people I can't count on.” “Hermione can do it." ”

“At least Hermione trusts me. ”

The emperor laughs low. He takes a step back. The spiritual kings faint and disappear.

“Then I have no choice. ”

The emperor confidently said.

“No problem. I don't care who the prince chooses as his escort knight. The emperor does nothing in the Imperial Capture. That's what all the emperors have done. The emperor who won like that became the new emperor. ”

“You're just going to leave me? ”

“There's nothing wrong with it. I just got lucky with Hermione. My fourth-baddest son just picked the best hand. A knight from the countryside is actually the loser of the advanced rainforest. It's the only story. ”

The emperor turned away.

“I don't do anything unless I do something worthless. It's not relaxing enough to care about an impending conquest. ”

The emperor no longer speaks. It's the toast of something. He lowers his head slightly and turns away. The door opens and Ajin goes out.

“Assemble each of the infantry commanders and give orders to the nobles above. The deadline is a week. Send word to the Pentagon. Summon the Pentagon's Five Stars to Imperiality. And we call Rivera. ”

The moment the door closes, the emperor quickly spits it out. I was a little embarrassed by the face of the Head of the Approximation Master. It's not that I haven't heard. It was simply because they could not understand the emperor's imperial decree.

“.. what's going on? ”

“Literally. Call them Verzola. Anyone who does not come to Verzola within a week will be executed by Imperial decree. ”

The emperor's body flashes. He sits on his throne on the stairs.

“I write to the swordsman of Hemonia myself. I don't want my old friends to be summoned by orders. ”

“Fe, the Pentagon's five stars won't move easily. Even if he tries to sin...”

“Tell him that you will provide a copy of Alminas. That's enough to attract those heavy-ass old dudes. ”

Alminas is a grimoire written by one of the Emperors of Gracia. The Pentagon's five stars are the best wizards on the continent. They can't move as far as the grimoire.

But Alminas can make them move. Alminas is a book written about an overview of spiritual magic. Emperor Gratia is the greatest spirit in the world. A spell written by a Spirit Master contracted by all Spirit Kings is enough to move the Pentagon's five stars.

“.. what's going on? ”

The Knight Leader asked with a stiff face. I smiled at the mouth of the emperor.

“Since the imperial capture is about to end, I just want to leave a worthy accomplishment before I get down to the emperor's throne. ”

The emperor opened his mouth.

“The conquest of the Kingdom of Gallios is a worthy accomplishment. ”
