“I see the capital. ”

“Ha! Now I can rest a little. ”

All of the Sharnos looked exhausted. He also had to fight intense battles in the capital and go straight to Heaven Guard and to the Water Temple.

‘Well, I had them do something really bad. It's been a repetition of marches and battles for almost ten days. ’

Yurius gives the order with a bitter smile.

“When you get to the capital, I'll have to report to Abama for rest. ”

However, when we arrived at the gates of the capital city, an unexpected event interrupted their rest.

As soon as the gate was opened, an enthusiastic welcome group welcomed them.

“Waaaah! Long live the First Prince! ”

“Huh?"

“Hail to the Sharnos! ”

“ ……!? ”

As Yurius and the Knights were welcomed into question, they had no choice but to slowly march through the capital.

The procession comes out of the imperial palace as soon as it's halfway there.

“Your Royal Highness! The Emperor requests your presence. ”

“I'm very tired, so please give the knights a place to rest in the imperial palace. ”

It wasn't until the acolytes and knights who came to greet them scattered the crowds like clouds that they quickly entered the imperial palace.

Yurius tilts his head toward the chamber the Emperor is waiting for.

What the hell is going on? ’

I made a promise to the Emperor that I would not declare him a traitor until he returned, because of his promise to the Grand Duke.

‘But now that I see the atmosphere, I don't think it's anything. ’

There's no way the emperor was able to Purge before his return. But doesn't the welcome party just now feel like a victory ceremony?

“Oh! You must be tired from repeated battles. How are you feeling? ”

“I'm here to see Avamarma. ”

Battle? ’

The emperor unexpectedly welcomed him with a smile. Normally, it would be normal to be a little angry at him for running away for the wrong reasons after suppressing the rebellion.

What are the successive battles there? He has yet to report a battle with the black market in Havenguard and the Emperor is unaware.

Yurius smiles bitterly and asks for an explanation.

“Something must have happened while I was out there. ”

“I had no choice but to ask you not to declare anything about the Grand Duke. Don't you need a different reason to keep all the nobles in place? ”

The emperor chuckles. The air raid a week ago, which he described, is now announced as follows:

The citizens of the current capital city reacted roughly like this.

“I heard that this time the old Emperor has suffered from a major illness, and that the terrorist group who raided the capital earlier was targeting the imperial palace. How dare you attack the heart of the Empire? ”

“Tsk! That's not the point. Do you know who got rid of them? ”

“The imperial court guards, of course. Who else is out there? ”

“Tsk! This guy's slow! The imperial palace was defended by the First Emperor and the Knights under his command, of course! ”

“Huh... really? Less than two years after the Northern War, every time he heard the news, You bring great teachings one by one... ”

“There must have been an official announcement about last night's disturbance in the imperial palace. There, the First Prince and the Knights said they left the capital to wipe out the remnants. ”

“Then I heard a great shout from the gate around dawn.

“Anyway, what a surprise. Other than the Emperor, did you have a specialty like this before you went to the Emperor? ”

“I know. But I heard that you have not yet ascended to the Crown Prince's position to care for your younger brother who is not yet an adult, and that you not only apply your military but also your personality like that, you truly have the ideal quality of a monarch. ”

.

Yurius smiled when he heard all the explanations. I'm sure it was an emergency, so I needed a plausible announcement, but why bring myself up like this?

The emperor relaxed his words again.

“Does it ever change that you don't have a duke anymore, and I'm adding a little more major to you? Just take it comfortably.

“ ……. ”

Yurius smiles bitterly. He said so, but he knew it was a joke to throw the ball at him.

“That's all I need to understand, and let's get down to business. ”

The emperor just smiled and became serious.

“I've already heard that the Grand Duke saved your life. But that doesn't erase his treason."

Yurius' solemn tone fills his tongue.

‘Apparently, Abamarma doesn't want to forgive the Grand Duke. ’

“I'll ask you first. He's already dead, but what do you want us to do about him? Just in case, I don't want to get caught up in this ideal. ”

The Grand Duke was also an outsider of the emperor before he was an issue for the nobles. The emperor seems to have decided to Purge with determination.

But you can't do that! ’

Yurius replies quietly but decisively.

“I oppose purging the aristocrats. ”

“ ……. ”

For a moment, there was a long silence in the room. It was because Yurius had never appealed to the opinion of the emperor so strongly before.

“There must be a good reason, right? ”

The slightly angry emperor's expression was rarely cold to Yurius. In his view, this was the perfect opportunity to wipe out all the nobles.

Yurius does not avoid that cold gaze. Rather, I raised my head to meet the emperor.

‘This is important now. ’

If the Emperor cannot be persuaded, there will only be a difference between him and the outcome of his previous life.

“First of all, it's political chaos. ”

“Confusion?”

“If we eliminate all the nobles of the South now, we will have no choice but to rebel. And that hardbook, of course, gives them a billy that they're going to get together with. ”

For the first reason, the emperor gave a grumpy look. It's because Yurius' opinion was too theoretical.

“That's right, isn't it? But without the Grand Duke, it would be a waste of their time. ”

“What happens to the blood? ”

“That's it. That's it. ”

“ ……. ”

Once again, the eyes of the emperor and Yurius clashed in front of him.

“If that's all you have to say.... ”

“Phew……. ”

Yurius sighs. Even though he was a son, it was not very rude in front of the emperor.

He opens his eyes and shoots Yurius.

“What other grievances do you have? ”

“Actually, I'm eager to tell Avamar the second reason. ”

“ ……!? ”

The emperor was already quite angry, but I couldn't help but wonder why he wanted to.

“Tell me the second reason. This is a manifestation.”

Yurius opens his mouth as if there were no other choice.

“Actually, this time I found a part of his handwritten season in the Grand Duke's castle. ”

“Susie?”

“Yes, it says that the Duke explicitly supported the nobles……. ”

The emperor who had heard the following suddenly woke up from his seat. Then I started shooting at Yurius with a frightening glance.

“Saved his life, and now you want to take his side? ”

Yurius does not stop talking in front of the furious emperor.

“But there is a reasonable argument. Obviously, killing the nobles and other rebellious royals at the beginning of the reign of Abama helped the empire advance, but I think the result is the Grand Duke's treachery. ”

“I would have had my head cut off right here if someone else had said that! ”

The emperor was outraged for no reason. That is why he suppressed the power of the nobles with his blood, which is why the beloved son is denying his rule the most.

But Yurius' tone was serene from start to finish.

“It doesn't mean the Avamar way is wrong. ”

“Then what are you talking about? ”

“We don't have to purge blood now. After all, there is nothing left in the civil war. If anything, it's innocent people's blood that's been swept away. ”

“ ……. ”

Yurius was not having a conversation as the Crown Prince. He wants to have an equal conversation with his father as the emperor of his former life.

Originally, he tried to avoid civil war as much as possible, and from the moment he saw the Grand Duke's season, he was convinced.

‘The reason the Duke is so blatantly involved with Abama is that he has a blood problem, but the nobles who initially felt he needed so much blood that they needed someone to protect him! ’

Now, there was no one to be concerned about, but over time, what guarantee do we have that the Second and Third Dukes would not show up? Like the current emperor, we don't know what will happen after decades.

The emperor who sprinkled blood to strengthen the empire!

Yurius, whose imperial empire was so weak that he was consumed by civil war in his past life!

The differences between the two kingdoms were dramatically revealed. But Yurius knew very well that civil wars were lost, no matter who won.

The losing side ultimately assumes all responsibility, and in the end, both sides are responsible.

[The trait ‘Emperor's majesty’ is triggered.]

[Increases charisma and charm.]

At that moment, I had no choice but to look at Yurius with a surprised look on his face.

"When did he get so big? ’

Yurius, who is now having a frank conversation with the emperor, has grown up to have an honest opinion in front of him.

‘To be honest, I think it's too soft, but he's going to run the government in the next few years...' ’

When he judged the emperor who was cold, he thought that Urius' opinion was the only difference.

And crucially, the old self wasn't sure how many more years it would take to see the state.

‘Now is the perfect time to shake Avamar's heart. ’

Yurius finds the emperor's heart shaking and brings out the last reason. It was the spirit of the flesh.

“And the last reason is Leonhard. ”

“Hmm……. ”

“He's my son, but he's also my brother. Do you intend to slit his throat or spend the rest of your life in exile? ”

The third reason why he brought out the love of flesh was because if the emperor's heart was hard, it would have an adverse effect on him if he showed mercy.

‘But if you've moved your mind to some degree, this is the third most powerful weapon! ’

No matter how much the emperor favors him, the son of Bondi is often compared to having no aching fingers because he bites ten fingers. This third reason has already been impacted by the crystal.

“Hnng... ”

“I have sincerely sincerely apologized to Avamar, no matter what the name may be. Forgive me."

Yurius kneels softly to the ground and bows his head.

“Enough! Yes, do as you will. Ugh, you rascal... ”

The emperor finally lifted his gaze. He decided to accept Yurius' opinion. It was not simply persuaded.

He didn't show up on the surface, but he wasn't quite satisfied inside. To be honest, the emperor's help to Yurius has been closer to the idea of supporting a bright child.

But now I've changed my mind!

"Now that you've just handed over the twenty, you think of it like a monarch who has just built up his virtues? If we can understand the damage caused by civil war and the suffering of our people, we can leave it to this guy and nothing will happen. ’

In fact, even the emperor lied if he did not get stabbed in the heart. Especially when he was talking about Leonhard, he couldn't help but shake.

He was not without a brother. It was all about pushing him into power, and he stepped up to the Emperor.

‘In fact, it's amazing to think of a younger brother who might be a bit dainty for the palace. ’

Taking all that into account, the emperor decided to follow Yurius' opinion. There were no parents who would not be pleased with their child's growth.

But here's the thing.

“Then how do you plan to explain the absence of the Grand Duke once you say so? ”

"Success!"

Yurius expressed his opinions that might only be in the eyes of the emperor himself, but he had no choice but to thank the emperor for his input.

“I am truly devastated. ”

The emperor once again sat on the chair, answering with a clear voice, unlike his heart.

“Tsk! There's no need for an old man to be so... uproaring. With your opinions, of course you have a plan for how to deal with the Grand Duke. ”

Yurius also raises his head and smiles.

“Actually, I've been thinking about that. ”

At the same time, an alert is triggered in his head.
