I Favor the Villainess

Contrary to the ostelessness of the exterior, inside the Imperial Castle was a properly centered interior of the country.

I can't see the gorgeous conditioning or artwork, but the interior, which is made of plenty of fine materials, was built like that, so that the viewer can see its value properly.

It is also a different type of castle from Bauer's royal castle and cathedral.

Arriving at Imperial Castle, we are now in a modem room for a glimpse with the Emperor.

We can't all see it in a group of fifty, so only the delegates actually worship the Emperor.

The members are Dear Yu, Misha and Claire, my four.

Each of the four are dressed in formal attire, checking out souvenirs to the emperor, etc., waiting for a glimpse.

"Well, we're finally meeting with the rumored emperor, but what happens?

It is you who sinks into a soft sofa in the upper seat and says:

My hair was completely stretched out, and Misha used makeup with her in mind, and I don't have the impression that she was an ex-male anymore.

The trick is also sweet, and it is very graceful to lean your neck thanks to it.

Originally, since you had a neutral impression, becoming a complete woman seemed to completely blossom your original beauty.

"Master Yu, let's not play games. Master Yu is here as Bauer's representative."

A woman in a nun, refrained beside Master Yu, says with her mouth sour.

Of course it is Misha.

She's also totally on the board already looking like a nun.

He's a sister who's not ashamed to put it out anywhere, because of his natural seriousness.

"Represented? I'm supposed to be here for the human pillar?

"Please don't tell me anything rare. This is formal diplomacy. If anything happens to you, Bauer and the Empire will go right back to war."

"I know. But the only thing Misha's worried about is diplomacy? Aren't you gonna worry about me myself?

"Think of the time and place. Speak, Master Yu."

"I don't think so."

Master Yu shrugged his shoulder to Misha, who looked not so good.

If you're going to flirt, tell him to do it.

"Nevertheless, it's been a long time since either Claire or Ray have. Was the last time we saw each other about six months ago? How are Mae and Alea?

"I'm fine thanks to you. Thank you for your help with that verse."

Master Claire bows her head.

"No, I'm sorry I couldn't help you. Any curses since then?

"Still, we can't find a solution. I'm trying my best."

To my reply, Master Yu lowered his eyebrows as well.

Six months ago, Master Claire and I asked Master Yu to use the tears of the moon.

To decurse the blood of May and Allea.

The use of the moon's tears, which is the most secret of the Spirit Church, is not supposed to be fulfilled by any citizen, but Claire and I owed the Church a loan.

To our request, although the upper ecclesiastical hierarchy was reluctant to the end, it was eventually allowed to be used with the help of the Eu and with the voice of the Pope's crane.

But even with the tears of the moon, the curse of the blood of May and Allea could not be lifted.

The tears of the moon are magic tools that restore various bad statuses, but their power is proportional to the amount of light in the moon absorbed.

The last time I used it before Mae and Allea was when you used it, and then it was used after a little over six months, so maybe if it took longer, I could curse it.

But so far, it's no different that there's no way for the two of us to solve it.

"I wonder what that curse is. Six months of moonlight should be able to curse most of the time."

"I don't know. But I'll make sure to solve it. You can't leave those kids cursing like that."

With a depressing look, Lady Claire spoke of her determination.

Of course, that thought is the same for me.

"Misha's been doing a lot of research for me, too. You know, you hit the old literature that the church keeps."

"It was. Thank you, Misha."

"No, I'm sorry I can't help you"

"The history of the use of the moon tears has also been approved for viewing, so I'll let you know when I know what it is."

"Please"

Together with Lady Claire, I bowed my head to both of them.

"Nevertheless... that's something that changes. I can't believe that Claire and Ray stick together, and take an adopted daughter. We met at the academy, like yesterday."

Master Yu laughed couscous.

Master Claire blushes her cheeks.

"I was most surprised, wasn't I? After Ray and I met, it was kind of like getting on a rampage horse."

"You didn't like it?

"It's..."

Claire was impoverished by the answer to Yu's words, which she told to tease.

"Good for you, Ray. Thoughts paying off."

"Yes! Every day is paradise!

"Ray!"

When I fell in love as much as I could with all the payback I had just been shown, Master Claire stepped on me.

Ouch.

It's a reward in our industry.

"... hah... You're going to have a hard time with each other, Misha."

"... I presume, Master Claire"

Lady Claire and Misha, who make sense of each other.

That's crazy.

Master Yu and I just love our lover.

"Shall I put the story back? How well do you two know about the Emperor?

"I am the least..."

"A tyrant, but reasonable, a charisma that grows in political skill, while also standing in arms, is that about it?"

"Right. That's all I know, too. It's just that everyone who meets her right now says this with their mouths shut. He said he was an attractive person."

With that said, that's what the man who led me so far said.

"I suspect this is some kind of magic."

"The identity of the Emperor's charisma is magic...?

Master Claire frowned.

"In other words, that this reign of the empire has the potential for spiritual domination by the emperor's magic?

"You can't deny it, can you? She took the throne at any rate when she was only seven years old. No matter how premature you are, it's a little hard to believe that you got a back shield at that age."

"Oh, wait a minute, please. Isn't that a bad idea?"

I realized I was outrageous.

"Assuming that theory was right, it sucks. If the four people you see were brainwashed together today, they would have taken over, wouldn't they?

"Ah..."

Master Claire seemed to notice.

Yes, it is.

Today, all four worshippers of the Emperor are important figures in the study group.

Of course, there are some official staff and another student who does administrative work, but it is no exaggeration to say these four are Blaine.

If they are all brainwashed with their magic and their doings, Bauer will have a diplomatic defeat at once and for all.

I don't think the Emperor had such a setup in Lillilevo, but Master Yu's concern cannot deny the possibility when you think about it.

"Right. That's why I brought this. Misha."

"Yes."

Misha put out her right hand unconstructively.

In its palm, there is one small ring.

"What is this...?

"It's the moon's tears."

"What...!?

Lady Claire revealed her amazement at Yu's words.

"But..., it was bigger when you used it for May and Allea..."

"That's a fake decoy. The real thing is this little ring."

In other words, that big offering that they showed me when they used it was a fake.

"No way..., the two of us didn't heal..."

"No, Master Claire. The Church has not deceived us."

I blurted out Lady Claire with a suspicious colour in her eyes.

"Ray must have noticed."

"Yes, when I used the decoy, you put it on my finger."

"How do you know who the tears of the moon are, shouldn't you ask?

"It would be helpful if you did that."

"Okay, I get it."

Master Yu smiled bitterly.

I guess I really can't help but ask.

"Well, anyway. With this on, I think at least one of us can escape the Emperor's brainwashing. I'll leave this with Ray, the strongest fighter in the world."

"Are you sure you want to trust me?

"I finally know who you are. The kingdom and the upper ecclesiastical hierarchy tell me to put it on."

That's what you said. Master Yu smashed one eye.

"Misha, don't you have to stop me?

"I guess that's what you should do in your position, but you're right all this time. If it's simple power, Claire can do it, but Claire can't use water magic to unbrainwash her. After all, you're in charge."

Misha said that in a sigh.

Shortly afterwards, Concon and the door were knocked.

"Dear Bauer Kingdom, Thank you for waiting. Lord Dorothea will see you."

Looks like time.

Master Yu rises.

"Well, let's suppose we meet the rumored emperor, Your Majesty."
