00345 The Man Who Lives in the Heart of the Empire

Awkward air flowed between us.

The troops pass by and keep walking back and forth. Marvas and I were the only ones who stopped their hooves like rocks in a stream.

“Hmmm. Hmmm. ”

Marvas looked at me somewhat obliquely, instead of looking at me from the front. The angle and the glare must be waiting for this reaction. It was a cautious look at the opponent, telling him what to do.

My gaze crossed Marvas' gaze several times and slipped. Then the awkward air added a new color. It's like it's soft...... and yet it's ticklish and something nasty......

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

What is this? What is this mucinous atmosphere of this magical tentacle coming up to pink twist my entire body's nerve cells!

Marvas, why don't you keep looking me straight in the eye? Look at me. No, don't look away...... Commander? Excuse me, Mr. Grumpy? Sebastian Krator...?

Suddenly the worst-case scenario was drawn in my head.

Marvas has now taken 50 hits. I mean…… I have a liking of 50……… my feelings for me are not just favors, something is strange. In this age, there is also a habit of adopting young gay lovers...

"No way! ’

Something in my heart cried out.

I, however, was accustomed to being able to think rationally, no matter how confusing the circumstances. A rational identity remained while the owner was caught up in the chaos storm.

Fragments of the self coldly discussed the situation.

‘I can't believe the quantum event was a condition to dismantle the likability lock. ’

‘It was a blind spot. ’

If you take Marvas down, join Barbatos and Pymon, play Triple King, okay? ’

‘In the Imperial Palace, the maid witnessed. Shock report 360 days.’

My rationality was all a bunch of fucking scum. It would be better to leave the regime to Citri than to discuss the world with these bastards.

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

The air around us got weirder with each passing second. I didn't know who he was, but there was endless shyness and hesitation in the cocktail. I couldn't bear it. I was an airborne rat poison! I really hated it. It was not enough to say I hated it.

It was nothing but trouble here. I did. Let's just chew through three centimeters of iron and use my sturdy skin. I calmly trimmed my face and said.

“Marvas, don't. What does quantum mean? ”

- I chewed the horse instead of responding calmly.

The atmosphere did not subside. Rather, I was excited as if I was frying popcorn.

Wrong. I was lost. In high school, I went to a meeting for the first time and talked to a girl high school student, and the air was heavy. It was a terrible disaster.

“Literally. You will be my quantum. ”

“But…… with all due respect, I-I 'm too old to be anyone's son. ”

“I don't care. ”

Marvas said seriously.

“Dantalian. The man himself is important. ”

“ ……. ”

I can only confess so eagerly to this side!

I whispered as if I had fallen asleep. My head was overheated and I couldn't figure out how to say it. I had no choice but to say it as the soles of my tongue moved.

“You know, the relationship between a parent and a child is a little bit more about knowing each other and then discussing it. Maybe it's not too late between you and me. ”

“I'm disappointed.”

Marvas was a moderately disappointing tone.

“I think I have shared my heart with you in a true sense beyond birth and age. Why can't we be tied up in a stronger relationship? ”

“Ah… that's right…… yes…… ”

Don't say yes, you idiot!

Like a virgin, a voice that cries out by itself. Oh, my God. I wondered if my voice really matched. I made fun of the minds of all the Queen Dowager queens and even captured Citri, but only to a homosexual……… so old……… not to a 20-year-old person, but to a thousand-year-old person……!

“Dantalian.”

Marvas brings his face closer to me. I was surprised by the hiccups.

“Yes, yes. ”

“I swore I wouldn't lie to myself, even if I lied to others. About his beliefs. I won't lie about what I think and feel. I swear on Marvas' name, I am offering it sincerely. Do you understand?”

Marvas' loud voice is heard right in front of you. The gray white eyes were shining earnestly.

Is this the most popular woman in the Middle East for over a thousand years? I heard that women and women are getting enthusiastic support, but as a man, I've aged beautifully....

The eyebrows and beards must be carefully maintained every day. It is sharply trimmed to a reasonable length. Wrinkles folded naturally. More emotions accumulated and accumulated than folded by age, and it felt like it was cut by its weight by itself. Yes, there was depth. Even the perfume was delightfully gentle....

‘No, that's not it! ’

I desperately caught up. What a frozen depth!

I liked women. A hundred concessions, a hundred real footprints, and even if I let Citri in, I didn't want to embrace a real man!

“Don't, Lord Marvas. ”

“I have faith in you. Ah. Believe it or not. ”

Marvas' eyes widen.

Rejecting Marvas now might reduce my appeal. The Neutral Party's influence will be greatly reduced. But it was okay. As a human, I had to protect something precious as the Demon King…….

I swallowed a saliva.

I'm saying I'm sorry, Dantalian. Be brave, be brave, and don't let anything happen to you in the future. You said you couldn't accept your heart.

“Sin, I'm sorry, but the plaintiff! ”

“― ― You are the next emperor of the Habsburg Empire. ”

…….

The time of stiffness has passed.

I blinked my eyes.

“…… Yes? Emperor?”

“As you know, I became the emperor. Certified member of the Imperial Court. The president of the Republic has abandoned the name Habsburg, and in fact, he is the only royal family except Rudolph. ”

At first I didn't understand what Marvas was talking about. Marvas' solemn voice tapped my skull as if it were knocking. Then the mind that was wrapped in hot steam slowly returned.

“If I welcome you quantum, Dantalian. You are the sole heir to the Habsburg empire on this continent. ”

“Ah, ah. So I told my servant... …. ”

In short, Marvas devised a trick.

There is currently no official successor in the empire. The emperor, the emperor, died quickly. Once I became Marvas' adopted son, I was able to claim the least inheritance.

I sighed for relief as the ground faded.

“Phew. I didn't even know that was a story. ”

“Hmm? What are you talking about? ”

“It's nothing. ”

Let's keep this illusion a secret until we get to the grave.

I've straightened things out. This time, I properly groomed my face.

“Your Majesty, this is certainly an interesting plan. Humans will not sit idly by while the Demon King ascends to the throne of the Emperor. ”

“Immediately as co-emperor. ”

Marvas is in a hurry.

“Bringing a proper human ceremony as your wife. Treat your wife as Empress and you as a husband. Your wife remains a nominal Empress. ”

“ ……! ”

Is there any way to be the Empress's husband?

Bring a fairly prestigious princess from any kingdom. There were many countries that wanted to make friends with the Empire today. I will brainwash the imported princess with the dark magic of Barbato and make her empress of puppets...

My head quickly turned back. I opened my lips carefully after a minute of time.

“It's possible…… Yes, I think so ”

“You're gaining inspiration from all three factions in the Demon King's Army. If you go up to the Emperor, there won't be any major revolt. ”

Rudolf von Habsburg must die one day. You can't control a corpse forever.

I said I would wait for President Elizabeth and the Great Battery to die, but that applies to our empire as well. If Emperor Rudolf doesn't die of old age, we will certainly have some suspicious Humans.

Who will succeed Rudolph? This was the problem.

Even if Barbato is instantaneous, or Pymon is instantaneous, Marvas is instantaneous, and problems arise. It is highly likely that the Demon Prince will be engulfed in civil war. Bago or Gamingin is totally out of the question. They have no balance with the entire Demon Prince…….

“Dantalian. I have no one to lead the Emperor but you." ”

Marvas would have chosen me as an alternative.

I am somewhat trusted by all three factions and, above all, by the heads of each faction. We are in a position to stabilize the empire.

It was interesting. This was a future that was 180 degrees different from what I had imagined.

I was planning to hide in the Imperial crypt and manipulate the factions. Marvas, on the other hand, has been parading me that I need to be up front. Maybe it's the ultimate weakness. The late Emperor or the Mankind Emperor? Is it a vagina or a vagina...

“You said that before. The group that doesn't support the system will eventually collapse. Dantalian, the most important institution for this group of empires lies in its successor. An empire that is not guaranteed to be a successor is merely a moral deprivation. ”

“ ……. ”

You've made the right point. What will you do when Rudolf's reign is over? As a matter of fact, I haven't thought about it yet....

“… Lord Marvas. Small sign.”

“I know. A sudden offer.”

Marvas nods.

“I want to give you enough time. You can think about it for a year, or you can think about it for ten years. We still have a lot of time left. ”

Marvas tugs at you. The horse makes a light grunt and raises its hoof. I followed him slowly.

“But remember, Dantalian. The time we have left is not forever. Only those who prepare ahead can rule the age. And at least you're the only one who can prepare for this. ”

“ ……. ”

I nodded cautiously.

Become the Empress's husband.

I didn't have to bring in foreign royalty. You may also use the Holy Spirit. Although she could not marry in principle, she could raise an example of a couple by simply giving up her seat.

The whole continent will rejoice at the Holy Spirit's union with the Demon King. Politically strong power is guaranteed.

Would it be better to stay in the shadows or to be in control of everything in the sunny areas? I kept thinking about my horse....
