Meanwhile, the imperial situation was not good.

Yoogyeom, the emperor, is making a grumpy face.

“How long do I have to stay here? ”

“I know you're in a safe place before the assailant who attacked your home is found. ”

“Hmmm……. ”

He wanted to ask Yurius why he came to his place yesterday, but she wouldn't let him go. He must have half the emperor in custody until he caught the killer.

‘Tae-tam... This is too much, isn't it? ’

Although I have been raised since I was a child, the attitude of the woman has been excessive lately. I didn't like the men who were escorting me there.

“I don't think these are my classmates. ”

“God raised them himself. I'm sure you can stop people who are thought to be masters of the Muslims, even if they enter yesterday. ”

“Hmm……. ”

Those who pointed at him were dressed as imperial golden soldiers for convenience, but they were emitting a sinister energy.

“I'm here to see the Emperor. I am honored to be in charge of escorting you for a short time. ”

There, their leader felt even more suspicious, covering about half of his face with a hoodie with a strange voice. I could not see them as worthy of the Veterans' formalities.

‘Now I don't know if I'm the emperor or if he's the emperor. ’

The reason Yoogyeom let go was because there was a relationship from childhood, but he did not exceed the level of the congregation.

But no matter how urgent the situation, it is now a close line crossing!

However, Yoogyeom did not reveal his feelings on the outside.

“Thank you. I hope Tae-tae catches the culprit fast. ”

“Of course! Have faith in God. ”

The expression was self-confident. As long as the Emperor is here, there is no one in the palace to stop him.

‘Pretend to look for a few days and make plausible evidence. And if you blame the Crown Prince, that's it. ’

Of course, it was risky to bring a stranger into the picture without evidence, but he had a spleen to do so.

* * *

“Drag... Have you decided yet?" ”

“ ……. ”

Leonhart remains silent in a narrow room. She suggested to him:

“You want me to accuse the Emperor here? ”

“Yes. If you accept, I will definitely rid the world of the Crown Prince." ”

Leonhart shakes his head when she sees the woman convincing him in a gentle tone.

“Nonsense! ”

“Huh?"

“I will not cooperate. You can take care of yourself if you want. ”

He didn't accept the offer, but it didn't upset him. In response to the puzzling response, Yeouido narrowed her eyes and thought.

‘This brother said we had a very bad relationship, didn't he? ’

Either way, if he doesn't help us, the trick of framing Yurius with the second prince's testimony is flawless.

The testimony of the prisoner is not reliable because he does not know how to take it out. Joogyeom, the current emperor, is a sure person, so it will be difficult to move with such testimony.

“Chuckle, I don't understand why the Crown Prince is so reluctant to take this opportunity. ”

Of course, if Yurius were to die in a foreign land, the imperial position of the Sharnos would return to him.

“ ……. ”

“I think I'll give you a little more time. But I don't want to wait too long, so please know that... ”

Glug.

“Idiot! You think you can get away with that? ”

When the door closes, Leonheart spits out a word.

‘Of course I want you to die here. ’

But how do you believe that? Yurius, who Leonhard knew, was powerless, but extremely resourceful.

"Huh! A suspicious eunuch like that can take care of you?" ’

There, Leonhard decided that even if one were to happen, he didn't have to. Seeing as he's trying to get him involved, he must have other plans. If he succeeded, he was the best, but if he did not succeed, his position would not be different from his present.

And...

Last but not least, Leonhart couldn't trust her. He's been sharp since he was a kid.

‘He definitely wants something else from me. ’

The woman looked at him unusually. From the time Yurius didn't come to this continent, he looked at him with an icy gaze.

“Huff... Then should we get rid of the Crown Prince by any other means? I'll have to consult with those dispatched from the Headquarters. ”

As expected of Leonhard, Yeonhart's taste buds fades back behind the palace where he is trapped.

* * *

And that night.

He was tossing and turning all night. It is because what Yurius said yesterday did not leave his mind.

[Behave like an emperor the next time you meet.]

And you said you'd visit next time. ’

How do you know if it's tonight or tomorrow night? It's no wonder I can't sleep thinking about it.

‘They'll tell me when to come... Hmm? ’

While grumbling inside, he suddenly woke up feeling a faint posture outside the door.

It's overwhelming.

"What, them? ’

Yoogyeom burst into laughter. The identity of the pilgrimage was brought to us by the Lady. He seems to be sensitive to strange and unfamiliar behaviors.

But next time! Something unexpected happened to him.

Glug.

The door was opened quietly, so one of the guards came in.

“ ……!? ”

“I'm here to see the Emperor. ”

He stared at him with some expression. He was now introduced as the new head of the escort.

“What about you?”

“ ……. ”

Ugh.

He began to unravel the hoodie that was wrapped around his face without a word. And the face that appeared in it was quite a multiplication. No, not a man's face.

He makes a curious face and doubts himself.

"You're a woman?"

But something was wrong. The woman in the hood opened her mouth in a quiet voice.

“Your Majesty... don't you remember God? ”

“God?”

“Ten years ago, I visited His Majesty often with my elder father. ”

“Ugh... What if it was ten years ago? ”

He tilts his head. Wasn't it just when he was imminent?

“I am the descendant of Hwang Sung, Archaeogyeong. ”

“Huh?"

He was greatly surprised to hear her words. Isn't Hwang Seong the direct intelligence agency of the emperor who existed with his classmates ten years ago?

However, it was only ten years ago that the book of Paul disappeared.

[General's Bird]

It was a plot that happened shortly after he was ready. Hwang Seong, who was intimate with the golden army's elders involved in the case, was beheaded or deafened by most members.

“Huh……. ”

He came up with a little blood on his face.

‘It was me and the Lady who got rid of them. ’

“So... are you here for revenge? ”

In a power struggle between Jin and the eunuch, he raised the hands of the eunuchs. At that time, he was too young to judge.

Bang!

“You're welcome! ”

However, the archer kneels and bows.

“I have never forgotten my loyalty to the Imperial Court. Although the Crown Prince disappeared by His Majesty's command, it is also our fault that we do not properly care for His Majesty. ”

“ ……!? ”

Here, Joogyeom became a serious face. It's because of what she said with her head down.

“You couldn't take care of me properly? Does that mean you're unfair? ”

“Your Highness.”

“Let's hear what's going on. ”

And what the archer said was shocking to him.

“Yeon, the current elder, is planning to harm the Emperor by conspiring with the Bridge! ”

“Me?"

His face was pale. I know you haven't been behaving very well lately, but isn't this still your favorite servant?

“Is there any evidence that it is not a plot? ”

Zec.

She pulls the black top sheet out of her chest and shows it to the Emperor.

“This?”

“An iconic hand for the Deputy Bishop of the Bridge. ”

“ ……!? ”

“This is the surest evidence. The men who escorted you are now pretending to be the masters of the Golden Army, but they are all members of the Church. ”

“Bridge!”

The archer slowly began to explain his situation.

“After Hwang Seong died, I went to the bridge. ”

“Ugh…. ”

At first, Joogyeom looked at her with pitiful eyes, and at the end, he trembled with betrayal about her.

‘I can't believe he's planning something like that. ’

Of course, she was planning to destroy Yurius, not the emperor. However, he had no choice but to believe the archenemy's words as long as there was clear evidence that drew martyrdom into the palace.

Mahidol is a wicked group forbidden to believe in the laws of the Hwan Empire. Notoriety was high among the common people.

Bang!

He smashes his desk furiously, his face full of fury.

“I believed him even when I heard he was corrupted by power. But you hit me behind my back like this... ”

The stronger the original trust, the greater the sense of betrayal when it breaks. I felt his dominance has been great lately, but in doing so, I completely overlooked his tolerance.

Of course, he did not fully believe the words of the archenemy he had never seen.

‘Maybe it's not true that you're hurting me! But even if the Emperor conspired with a group of unknown men without consultation with me, he had already committed treason! ’

Alumni should have been the same institution as the emperor's paws. But it is a felony for the head of that place to join forces with an outside force compared to the plot!

He wanted to interrogate her right away.

But how do you ask for sin? ’

I knew she was the best actress in the imperial court. It was a question of whether he would be captured so easily, even if he had to mobilize the Jin army to capture them.

At that moment, the archer, who was watching him, opened his mouth.

“Your Majesty... I beg your pardon, but may I post the words?" ”

“You?”

“This is a very good master. It's hard to catch him in the usual way. I find it hard to catch him if he's willing to run away. ”

“Is that so? ”

“There he holds the power of the Bridge on his back. There could be a lot of blood in the imperial palace. ”

“Ugh…. ”

“So let me tell you……. ”

She speaks in a discreet tone.

“How about working with the Crown Prince of the Western Continent on this occasion? ”

“ ……!? ”

“From what I've learned, not only is he the Crown Prince, but he's an absolute rock star in his prime. The Church hates him like a thorn in the eye. ”

I knew it! ’

He remembered Yurius, who lightly defeated the elites of his classmates like a scarecrow.

* * *

The time.

It's almost time. ’

Yurius is waiting for someone in his place. The plan for the archer to persuade the emperor was from his head.

Then where are the other religious figures besides her?

“Emperor of the Western Continent! He's looking for you. ”

“Me?"

Yurius walks out of the room pretending to be surprised. Outside, there were men dressed as Imperial Gold soldiers waiting for him.

“Your Majesty, we need you to follow us for a moment to investigate on your orders. ”

Because they pushed in the Emperor's sealed command, the figures who were watching Yurius also gave him up gently.

“I can't help it if it's the king's order. ”

It was rude to ask a foreign aristocrat to come on an ambitious night, but Yurius joyfully followed them.

“But where are they being investigated? ”

“Follow me and you'll see. ”

They only rush Yurius' footsteps with a loud voice.

After a few minutes.

Yurius and his men are headed to a remote place even within the Imperial Palace.

It's overwhelming.

Those who say they are from the Golden Army were speechless, and Yurius was also walking without words, so the surrounding area is quite quiet except for the sound of footsteps.

Tuck!

“ ……. ”

At some point, the footsteps stopped. Yurius suddenly stopped.

“What's going on? ”

One of the Jin soldiers asked Yurius with a expressionless face.

“Haven't you come far enough? ”

“What are you saying.... ”

Yurius smiles.

“Aren't you here to deal with me? Let's get started.”

“ ……!? ”

Boom!

They distance themselves from Yurius in an instant.

Chang!

Grab him!

The sword they draw is reflected in the moonlight and shines. She's choking at the same time! These were the martial artists sent to eliminate Yurius.

“ ……. ”

Yurius looks at the faces of those surrounding him. But soon, I tilted my head in a curious look.

"I'm sure it's a great elite... But where's the one with the magic?" ’
