Unwanted Design (4)

‘It's not His Majesty's fault. ’

‘You don't have to comfort me. ’

‘I had no choice. ’

‘No, it's not a matter of rationalizing that it's inevitable. There might have been something else. We should have looked the other way. Yes, I should have. ’

‘It was your decision for the Empire. ’

‘I killed another innocent Imperium for the people of that empire. ’

‘If you hadn't, more people would have died. The knights and soldiers guarding the Empire and the many good men who were just looking at you would all be dead. The plague... ’

‘I know. We already know that we have to deal with it before it happens, that it's contaminated with the atmosphere, that there's no other way to save the contaminated land. But, Earl, they were not yet undead. They were definitely human. Their screams of pain were not from the undead. I can still hear the children crying. No, I can hear you. ’

‘What…. ’

‘I hear them talking to me. I hear the accusation of the imperial people who were betrayed and killed by this foolish emperor. ’

"You look very tired, Your Majesty. ’

‘No, no. I'm absolutely normal. ’

‘Your Majesty…. ’

‘When I was very young.... ’

‘Yes.'

"When I was very young... I remember what you said before my mother died. ’

‘ ……. ’

"Stay calm," he said. Quietly, he told me to enjoy a moment in my normal life like a dead rat. God told us to live peacefully outside, not in the heart, away from the Imperial Court. I remember you said the same thing when you died. I was very young at the time. ’

‘Your Majesty…. ’

‘I was watching all the high places my mother went through here. I felt more frustrated than anyone in the empire about the treatment of the weak, not the privileged. So I wanted to change the empire. Yes, that's why I wanted to be emperor. I threw my sister out with my hands, betrayed my father's expectations, and even got a lot of blood on my hands. I've fought the Holy See, and I've fought foreigners like the Earl. And so I became the ruler of this empire. ’

‘ ……. ’

‘And when I got up here, I thought I was just like them. No, I was no different from them from the beginning. I was once again covered in blood to protect my position, and I've lived for many years. I was so... afraid of losing power. My commitment to build an empire for the Empire was overwhelmed by fatigue and pressure, and my childhood dream became increasingly worn out in reality. Suddenly, when I looked in the mirror, I felt like my sister's face was shining against me. ’

‘No, Your Majesty. ’

‘This seat doesn't work for me. Now I know that. I cannot bear the weight of the crown, and I cannot wash away the sin. It's hard. Yes... I'm so tired. As my sister used to say... In the end, a lowly bloodline can't take this weight. ’

‘Your Majesty…. ’

"If I am born again... If I am born again, I want to live as Mother said. Just like my mother said. I want to meet people I love... laugh, talk to, have lots of children... and live like that. ’

‘You can do that. ’

‘Haha. Of course, I've never thought of marriage, but if I meet someone like the Earl, I think I'll be very happy living that life... Anyway, let's talk. We need to get back on our feet. ’

‘I think you should rest well. You don't have to stand up. ’

"That's okay, we need to finish what we're doing. We must set the Empire on fire to defend it. ’

‘Charlotte. ’

‘Today... tomorrow... and the next day... I will kill the Empire... That's how the Empire... Ha-ha-ha-ha. We have to keep it that way. "

I opened my eyes for a moment and grabbed the sand on the ground.

This must have been the place.

I spoke with Charlotte here, and innocent people died here.

A place where the plague turns ordinary people into undead.

It was the first region in which a disease that killed a quarter of the continent's population erupted.

The sand he was holding began to scatter in the wind as he opened his hands.

I was dumbfounded and suddenly looked at those who were in front of me.

I realized that I was soaked up too much time.

“W-why are you here...? ”

“You know me. ”

“ ……. ”

“I see the rumors have reached this far. You wouldn't recognize an ordinary person. ”

“No, no, no. How can people like us not know the ear, the noble one? Above all... What brings you... here? I wonder if anything happened to this small town.... ”

“I've done some research. I received information that there is a coupling using magic that is not allowed in the Empire, so I came to see you in my mind... Based on your reactions and your hasty situation, it seems that what you were worried about was true. Who would have thought there would be a place like this underground? ”

“Poetry, if you'll excuse me, I don't understand what you're saying. ”

“Saladan the Secret. The Black Wizard Alliance within the Empire. It has been distributed evenly on the outskirts of the Empire for 24 years and approximately 670 people. The purpose and intention of its existence is the eternal life of the clan members. Am I wrong? ”

“W-we don't know what you're talking about. ”

“Let me just ask you a few questions. ”

“Yes?”

“Have you ever met a masked man or woman? ”

“I... don't know what you mean. ”

“A dark black mask with no expression. Masks are magically treated, and it's hard to dispel without a high wizard. A man's height is average, and a woman's on the smaller side. They would call each other a single pair, and they would actually be very close. Oh, and the man is a black wizard, just like you. If you were here, you'd recognize it right away. Perhaps a member of the Salahadin clan. ”

“The Black Wizard?”

“Yes, I am the Black Wizard. If you've seen it, it's clear.... ”

“I've never heard of it. I don't know what you're talking about... We don't know. ”

“I don't think you're lying. ”

“Of course. Saladin, black magic, and we don't know anything, my lord. ”

“No. What I meant to say was that you don't know about the masked. We've already confirmed that the people who are gathering here are the Dark Mages, so there's no need to hide it. I've met other Salahadin's Black Wizards. Gartel in the north, Bala in the south, Hebble in the east, already number four. ”

“F-crazy.... ”

“Let me change the question. If you've never seen a masked man or woman... where is your clan master? ”

The silence in the intestine settles.

I was still trying to say I don't know anything, but then I heard the sound of casted spells being cast once again.

“D-die! ”

The black and green spheres and arrows came rushing in.

As you bend down and swing your sword, the large sphere that was approaching splits in half.

‘Poison.’

Uncommon magic.

As the foreign matter coming out of the sphere splashes onto the clothing, smoke rises with the sound of its teeth.

It's quick to stop breathing with magic and make fun of your feet.

As you draw your sword, a giant monster rises out of the Summoning Hall and lunges at you.

A lesser demon I've ever seen.

After I put my magic into the sword and took him out with a swing, I cut off the Black Wizard's body, which was flying the Black Wizard's arm in front of me and chanting the curse.

‘One Demon Summoner, one Commander. ’

Soldiers from everywhere spill out of skeletons, but with a huge swing of the sword, the soldiers collapse and the commander collapses, vomiting blood.

Same as last time.

‘It's low level. ’

This way is not too strong.

It definitely feels different from what they looked like in the first place.

Saladin, who terrorized the entire continent at the time, was hard to imagine.

There were no Demon Summoners summoning the Named Demons, and at the most, all of them were lesser demons or medium-devil.

It was hard to find those who finished the fourth job in the first place.

‘There must have been something. ’

It is right to think that the masked man who killed their leader a few years later did something.

‘We haven't met yet. ’

I don't know exactly when it started, but this isn't the time.

If you look at the imperial dispute and see no movement even at the surface, what he is doing is much later than he is now.

This is not the time for men to be active in the first place.

I didn't even find the guy from the beginning, so I didn't regret it....

However, it was a little difficult to understand that the woman's side was also not showing.

The masked woman was clearly active in Hwang Sung at this point.

Of course, I did not have to go in and out of the castle in the first car, but I felt like I had seen them move in one day when I entered the capital with the powerful nobles of Charlotte Camp.

‘Is he hiding? Or maybe the future has changed. If he's active, there's no reason to hide his appearance.... ’

Even in a situation where the second princess was being politically threatened, she did not show up at all, and she thought that the future might have changed for some reason.

Considering that the masked woman has spent a long time with the homicide squad, including the Mage Swordsman Jinho... Maybe she's lost her place after Jinho's death.

If this conjecture is correct, it means that if we push the second princess into a corner, it is not even possible to entice the bitter woman.

The woman in the second car does not show herself.

You can think of it as a positive butterfly effect created by Jinho's death in the Tutorial Dungeon.

Slowly down underground, Saladin's research begins to become visible.

There were many unrecognizable things, but if you think about the epidemic started based on these studies, it shouldn't exist on the continent.

As expected, it was still in its early stages.

A little spark rose from his hand, and the spark that fell on their research began to burn.

Along with the Empire screaming in agony over the fire, Charlotte's face grows crazy, but she shakes her head to erase her bad memories.

But I keep thinking of her voice.

"I want to wake up in a quiet forest listening to the songs of birds. It must be hard, but I want to live without maids. I want to hear the bard singing. Yeah, I want to live like that. I think I liked you a little bit. Now that I think about it, I think so. I've never loved anyone, so I don't really know how I feel, but I think it's similar to what my mother said. Please be happy, Earl. In the next life, let's face it a little more commonplace. Let's smile at each other and face each other like that. ’

She bites her lip and immediately turns.

After a long underground climb, it's a town that's not unlike any other.

Huh?

It was then that I found a very familiar face on one side of the town square.

What the hell?

I used magic to disguise myself, but I can't hide that big guy. An old blue year-old member who saw his face.

Mr. Ducky? ’

We don't know why Park Deok-gu is here on the outskirts of continents far from Lindel and the capital, but Ki-young must have ordered something.

You won't be able to calm your opinion for much longer.

What's going on? ’

I had to wonder.

The fact that they are on the outskirts of this area has already been ordered.

The crowd nods and cheers for the big man's speech.

It was when I took a step into my curious mind and put magic in my ears.

The strangely drawn voice completely reverses this expectation.

“By the Empire! By the Empire!" A country for the Empire! The Empire is not the Emperor's! Empire people!! "

“Well, what... is this...? ”

Obviously, that didn't happen in the first car.

“Thirsty as hell! Thirsty as hell! Democracy! Hooray!"

“What is this...? ”
