Price of Management

After a short while, seven Watchers disguised as servants have been captured. The strangely drawn men, caught in the hands of Earth or Water Hand, felt overwhelmed.

I asked them.

“Identify yourself. ”

One of the captured men stepped up and replied.

“Well, we're just servants working in the palace... ”

“I don't want to be jumpy. ”

The salamander stuck out his face thoroughly in my chest.

- Good riddance. Khehe.

A salamander who sticks his face out and smiles badly. The men's faces became pale.

I tiled the salamander with a gentle tone.

“No, honey. You can't kill him. ”

- I'll burn you alive!

Now the face of the dead watchers. I like the color of my face that changes to a visual angle.

In front of the confused salamander, even the devil or the spirit, no one could be afraid.

At this point, the Grand Chamberlain, Earl Label, couldn't help but step forward.

“Earl ligand, calm down and listen to me. It seems the Count has misunderstood this matter. ”

“You want to tell me these are just common servants? ”

“No. They are the watchers of the Horn Empire. ”

“It's very unpleasant to see a foreign envoy come to know the Emperor. ”

“Oh, no. They are tasked with monitoring the palace to see if there are any warm-hearted people. Watching Prince Ligand carefully was also to see if anyone was attempting to molest him, so we appreciate your patience. ”

“You speak well now. Why did you say you didn't know? ”

I deliberately used the phrase "flutter," and the label Earl's face turned red.

“Well, that's because once their identities are revealed, they can't continue to carry out their duties……. ”

“All right, all right. Stop taking everyone with you. It's annoying. ”

Before I could hear any more, I motioned as if I were annoyed.

“Then we should go... ”

Earl Label disappears with the watchers with a grumpy expression.

I don't know why.

Those must be the guards that Emperor Kars put up with.

It was a battle with the Horn Imperial Court that caught them by pretending not to know.

An indirect message told him not to play the childish trick. I'm not comfortable enough to fall for a shallow trick.

Late night.

The Grand Chamberlain Label roams around the White Cedar Gardens alone. You see the nervousness on the Earl's face of the label looking around as if he was waiting for someone.

It was then.

“Earl of the label. ”

“Huff.”

The Earl of the Label, who suddenly heard a low voice behind him, was surprised.

The Earl of the Label turns around and sweeps his chest.

“Phew, you're here. ”

The opponent is Earl Halstein. A shadow of Emperor Kars, he met with Earl Label in secret.

“What happened? ”

Earl Halstein asked.

The Earl of the Label sighs and shakes his head.

“I found all seven sentries I had posted in half a day. It didn't seem like it was that hard to find. I don't have any Mana Errors, but I can tell by the state of your training and your behavior. The spirit's senses seem to be unusual. It's about two kilometers from the residence of the Marquis of Ligand, but I doubt he's even listening to us, frankly. ”

“You said you saw his condition and his behavior? ”

“Yes.”

“Then it's fair to say that his spirit senses are excellent sledges of sight. ”

“I'm not sure. I can't help but wonder what he's thinking.... ”

It was Earl Label who had already suffered during the day because of Caroc's unpredictable attitude. Who knew they'd catch seven great watchers so quickly in front of them?

“The concern is whether the senses of the spirit recognize people in their appearance, or what mystical senses are unique to the spirit in their own way. The latter will fail this case, but the former will prevail. ”

“Why don't you give it a try? It's not worth it." ”

The Grand Duke of Halstein nods.

“I see.”

The late Halstein has only one goal: It was to ensure the safety of Emperor Kars, of course.

You dug a trap to capture the Caroc ligand.

However, the opposing Pokémon are not great enough to fall into a trap. Even though he knew he was already digging a trap, he was the one who came here.

Moreover, his superior animosity is truly a troubling ability. That power was enough to overwhelm the Marquis of Great Gen.

I went to King Leaden and met with Caroc Ligand in person, and Duke Romfel also testified that I, or no one, would be able to do it.

In light of that, of course, I dug a trap. You can conquer it as soon as you fall into a trap.

There's only one problem.

You need bait to fall into the trap, but only one person will be the bait. Without Emperor Karth, Caroc Ligand would not have walked right into the trap.

When Emperor Kars and Caroc Ligand enter the trap together, their appearance is slightly different.

Caroc Ligand will threaten Emperor Kars' life instead of resisting to get out of the trap. Then I'm not sure what the outcome will be. Even if Earl Halstein himself guards the Emperor.

That's why the Horn Imperial Magic Corps has prepared something to make up for it.

‘He must be fooled by your role. ’

You find someone with a similar figure and magically transform his appearance just like Emperor Kars. I was trained to act the same way, not just by looks, but by gestures and accents. I went through a lot of trouble to emulate the unique, emotionless look in my eyes.

Of course, if Caroc Ligand is as fast as a ghost, if he sits down and talks to him, he will notice it in less than five minutes.

However, it is enough to deceive the first impression.

Once inside the trap, Caroc Ligand's body falls into the clutches of the Horn Empire.

That was the best-case scenario for the Horn Empire.

While I was alone, I summoned a silk and spent some time meditating.

Meditation was nothing. I just sat across from Silf and stared at each other.

A silf that looks just like me in my past life. What does this mean?

The Spirit is summoned in the form the Spirit desires. In fact, Noam and Woundee fulfilled my wish to have a peaceful family, especially a cute daughter. Even the mild-mannered Last Spirit Salamander was the result of a grudge against my former son, who no longer existed.

What about the Sylvester?

In short, it means that I missed myself in my previous life.

Does that make sense?

I am the same whether I am in my past life or in my present life. The history of my past life and my present life has changed greatly because of me, but that doesn't mean that my previous life, which was 90 years old, has also disappeared. I've had that 90-year life and it's in my memory. Those experiences have made me who I am.

So I don't have to miss me. Because I'm here!

If you ask me if I want to go back to my old life, I will hate and shake my head. I don't want to go back if I give you 100 million Redinas!

Not because I was unhappy.

Every life is good or bad. I don't think I've ever been unhappy in my life. Failure in my family has certainly troubled me, but I cannot conclude that it was a lonely and unfortunate life in my whole life with just one aspect. When I think about it, there was definitely a happy and joyful memory, and it was a life that was quite satisfying even after death.

But I don't want to walk the path I've already walked.

Now, look at my second life!

A lot has changed since before, hasn't it?

It's a new life I've chosen because I don't want to study the same life I've had once.

I return to my eighteen years after I die, but ironically, the past does not return.

The new past could no longer be the same past as before. Even if I go back to that same point in the past, I am no longer the subject of life.

Then what the hell…….

“What do you want to say? ”

I suddenly asked Silf.

Sylph stopped looking at me like that.He just took a deep breath. It seemed unwilling to bother me.

Oh, it's a painting.

Nevertheless, my past self reminded me of something I missed a little.

Ah...

Is it a memory?

Did you miss the memories on the other side of my subconscious?

I looked at the silk again and then shook my head.

The old man's days are long gone. I feel enough when I reach death that everything changes without eternal things. Perhaps my obsession-free mind has brought about the rapid growth of animosity.

I thought Sylph was some kind of riddle.

Mother Nature's will to me.

An anesthetic that can lead to the drama of aesthetics assimilated with nature.

My meditation was over.

It's because the Grand Chamberlain's earl felt a sneak up on him.

You unchecked the silk and hit the Earl of the Label.

“Earl ligand, have you had any discomfort all night? ”

“Not today. ”

“Good. I was worried you might have another complaint. ”

An Earl with a Bony Horse label.

I smiled and asked.

“May I help you? ”

“The Emperor has given his permission to meet the late lord ligand. Come with me when you're ready. ”

“You mean now? ”

In my question, the Earl of the Label nodded.

“Of course. His Majesty awaits you in battle. ”

“Oh, is the Emperor at war? ”

“Well, yes. ”

When I smiled, the label Earl became an uneasy face.

I said with a playful smile.

“Then let's see if you're really at war. ”

“Yeet?! ”

An earl with a slight look on his face.

I gave a command from my mind to Noonum.
