Egret

Chapter 27. The Eucharist

It became colourless to think about how to explain it thanks to Gaya who asked for clarity, and Manjudas stopped laughing.

“…… but I was ordered. ”

Edan stares at him as he clearly realizes what he received from the Emperor thanks to him.

Judas stubbornly listened as he was amazed by the hands of his servants.

“I didn't say I'd follow you. ”

“Ugh? Isn't it decided? That's too bad."

The blue dragon was a look of pity, but not more.

“I wondered what kind of person the owner would be if he had a partner. ”

“Then, don't you have a partner? ”

“Spirits don't have to leave offspring behind. ”

In response, Baikal repeated that Gaya was the Spirit.

The outer appearance takes on a human form, but has to go. It was simply the divine spirit, the animal spirit. They have the same abilities to fill their positions as the seniors disappear, and their descendants open their eyes. So there was absolutely no need for the Spirit to have a spouse.

“Anyway, for that reason, I think I'll be a little busy this month. ”

Even then, he looked back at him with a prank.

“Hmm. I don't think the owner gives a lot of expression. ”

“But I can't just insist on what I want to do. ”

“I do.”

A blue dragon that has watched all the royal prosecutions since the founding of the Thaw.

I wanted to tell him to just fall down and do what he wanted, but he also knew that the emperor's successor was not a comfortable place to live.

"Humans are complicated. ’

I'm trying to protect my life even if it's a nuisance.

Sometimes, even those who are weaker than themselves will have to tighten their heads according to their status, and sometimes they will have to be willing to accept things they don't like.

A society where reason precedes instinct. Knowing that there was a line in the human world that was invisible only to humans, Gaya only scratched her belly leather with a blunt expression.

Judas, on the other hand, who was in a situation where he had to forcibly save his spouse, was completely relaxed.

“Everyone's in a bad mood. You don't have to take it so seriously. ”

“But, Your Majesty. If your Majesty is directly involved, it is not a matter of fishermen's business, right? ”

“Cancer, of course, does not go beyond fishing. ”

“The words are true. ”

“When I think about persuading others, I always need a cause. ”

‘…… Are you going to convince the Emperor?! ’

Baikal swallowed up the horror that never came out of his mouth.

The emperor who forced the ambassador to say marriage was an emperor, but Judas' insistence on fighting it was enormous. Who is the current emperor? Even though the neck of his flesh fell, he did not blink an eye, and he gave his children to his limbs to raise the qualities of a monarch and waited for them to come back alive on his own.

I never even imagined convincing such a person.

“Then how...? ”

“For now, you must attend the party that Your Majesty has prepared. ”

He rarely attended the original party. It was because I preferred an atmosphere where I could have a calm conversation rather than a noisy place, and this was not the time to pick up on that taste.

“A month from now. ”

The rest is something to think about afterwards.

“In the meantime, you need to help me. ”

He smiles at his two confused friends.

Judas, who finished his work that day, returned to his room earlier than usual on the pretext that he was tired.

Gaya, who followed me, asked me a question.

“By the way, the owner. ”

“Huh?”

“Why does the owner refuse to get married so far? I know it's a little early, but isn't that a bad offer from the Emperor? ”

When there were others, I fooled myself into not asking. When I heard that question, the spirits began to tremble before Judas even answered.

It's not because the age difference between kids is so big these days?

"Yes. Greg has already lived as an old man once. They can't be seen.

Ugh, wouldn't it be burdensome if the opponent was too young?

Even the speculations of the other spirits, he pretended his arms were unshakeable.

“Yo, you little spirits. You don't know humans, but you don't know too much. ”

What is it?

“Who would think you're like a baby when you see a big wife, not a real newborn baby? ”

"No! Humans have a short lifespan, so they look ten years younger.

Poor, stingy Uni has been bitten, but all I have to do is fart.

“Rinse. You're mistaken for something. Is it a different matter to look young and feel attractive? ”

…… Different?

“In the human world, when you're seventy-eight, you're an old man, right? I think such seniors might also like young people in their twenties. ”

"Really?!

“Yes. In fact, there were quite a few times in the thaw that an old king took a teenage girl as his wife? ”

"Wow, that's amazing. Humans are great in so many ways!

Judas smiled at the blue dragon, who had begun his human history education in front of the kings of the natural world.

He quietly turns around and lies down in bed to avoid disturbing the spirits' conversations.

"It's true that the children of my life look young. ’

But his real heart was a little different from Gaya's claim.

Even seeing Cristina, who was almost a goddess in Lubach, was upset because she really only looked like a child. It was the same for the Demibeast sheep, Kiri, and Lan, who lived fifty years. They were to be taken care of by him.

It was the same as saving Raya from slavery in her former life, who lived under one roof and cared for her like a daughter.

In addition, the women who approached him saw all the young ideas that were aiming for status or honour.

As I remember my previous life, my age was also a psychological problem, but in reality there was a bigger barrier.

‘Marriage is what makes up the family. ’

Of course, the monarch's marriage may involve larger and more complex relationships, but marriage has a common meaning of being a 'family’.

‘I am no longer. ’

― I'm not confident.

Judas stretches out his hand toward the ceiling while lying down.

The little palm I've seen since I first opened my eyes at the age of 12 is now an adult's hand.

But it seemed plausible, and he could not be held responsible for anything he had accomplished with his hands. He shook his hand without a mac. A long breath of complex thoughts flowed through my lips.

Instead of protecting the children who became a family, I cut off their breath and watched the miserable words. The last surviving child only exists as a hunting dog after a commander. I didn't want to lose them like that.

I didn't have the confidence to accept the new person here as a ‘companion’.

‘Now I have one mind to rule. ’

Everyone regarded him as a great sage, now a perfect successor to the monarch, but the heart within him was not so weak.

The monarch in charge of the territory is also obliged to follow the bloodline. I didn't mean to turn away from that obligation, but I didn't want to be forced into a relationship without being prepared.

Don't worry too much.

One day, Carney, who came out of a basket of waggly spirits, leaned on his cheek and raised her hand. The good dark-red eyes curled with warm warmth.

Igrett is too worried. You can live the way you want to.

I felt so cozy that I closed my eyes. Tired words were not a false excuse. At the vague line of falling asleep, he mutters a little.

“Enough.”

What is it?

“I have a lot to worry about now……. ”

Than the lonely time I've lived alone without worrying about anything.

‘Much better. ’

A cool breeze passed through his forehead. At the same time, the blue dragon Gaya draped the blanket to the end of his neck instead of the realizable natural spirit kings.

“Why wouldn't the owner know? ”

A blue scale that seemed to contain the sky spread like a mirage over Gaya's skin.

Soon, he was transformed into a little blue dragon with only one forearm, lying at the feet of the contractor.

How comfortable is it that you only have to worry about one person in the world.

A blue wolf approaching quietly fell down, listening to the grumbling of the blue dragon, which turned into the wavelength used by the spirits instead of its voice. He then expressed his sympathy to UNIDO, which was flying captive.

"You too, don't you?

Hehe, yes. It's completely comfortable.

Now the five spirits who had become completely one family member laughed at the same time.

A few days later, rumors spread in Amri about the imperial palace party, with the imperial prince unhindered.

"Her Majesty's annual ceremony this month is practically the period of the Crown Prince's mercy! ’

I didn't publicly announce it, but it was something that everyone could notice.

Even if he didn't usually give the party an eye, he could only see him appearing at the party leader for four consecutive days without any special purpose.

Thanks to this, all the nobles who were originally enjoying the party started to feel sad as though they had fallen on their feet, just roughly blindfolded and tried to get their attention.

“Did you get the party invitation tomorrow? ”

“Of course. You can bring up to one child per family. Hoo, I have three daughters and I can't decide which one to send. ”

“Neither do I. I have two nieces, but they are both missing beauty.. ”

“I heard that His Majesty sees wisdom rather than appearance. ”

“Ew. I don't know! Appearance is the base and wisdom is the option. ”

These conversations were now routine. The aristocrats, who realized that they couldn't even catch the Crown Prince's gaze as a dizzy beauty, began to bring their gray daughter into the party hall.

In the meantime, women who had great talent but were buried to live their lives as Lady revealed their innards.

There was no age limit for adoption as a companion of the emperor, unlike ordinary marriages, so there were a wide variety of ages, from young girls who had not yet attained puberty to older virgins.

As a result of this, the party leader celebrated the crown prince's manhood, with a different landscape from all the other parties, and the nobles who were looking for a party to wait for the time were also asked to tail.

Judas, who made all this possible by appearances alone, showed no particular interest in doing this to anyone until ten days after the party began.

So the tension between the nobles who pushed their daughter and nephew as candidates for the Emperor's Mercy gradually grew.

“So, why don't you go? ”

And in one land there was a man who boiled in water for the same reason.

“Christine.”

The Duke of Delphia, a young duke after his family. Alcios looks at his sister with a squeaky forehead.

Cristina R., who tied her beautiful, wave-like hair together and stretched it along her shoulder line. Delphia is putting a cup of tea in her face.

She was returning from an unexpected student council schedule for the New Year and was having a rest period.

I sent out an invitation to a party that Alcios, the brother of Alcios, had tried to save, and he decisively declined.

“Your Majesty would not think so. ”

“How do you know that? ”

“ ……. ”

Cristina gracefully puts the tea cup down on the table.

“It's just a feeling. ”

“Ha.”

An absurd sigh burst out like boiling oil. His sister was not such a clumsy girl that she acted courageously and without clear grounds.

Rather, it was more thorough than Alcios himself, who was above the Duke. Not enough for a pretty, smart sister who won't hurt her eyes, but the flexibility to fit the situation.

It was a day or two when I was worried that I might get hit by the wind of the world and break it.

Alsios is forced to smile, calming the mouth close to where the convulsions occur.
