The Grand Prince Has Run Away

Walking through the halls of the Imperial Court, I could see the hidden servants and maids, frightened. They were looking at me like I was a bunch of thieves in a house. Well, technically, the thief was right. A big thief stealing a country.

Birch followed me.

“There aren't many guards in the palace. ”

“I don't know. Somewhere. ”

“If there could be an ambush, we'd better be prepared." ”

“Not really.”

I shrugged.

My senses don't feel like knights or soldiers.

That means you're either hiding in a completely sealed room, or you're nowhere near it.

After moving for a while, I stopped walking near the battle. There is a considerable energy through the locked breach of the Feud Door.

Birch Brian speaks.

“Why, do you? ”

“I was wondering where they were. They're all in there. ”

His eyes narrow.

“Looks like Emperor Yosrahim is over there. ”

“Yes. I thought you'd run away, but you didn't. ”

“I wouldn't have had time to run. ”

“Well, maybe you did. All right, let's go inside. ”

“Yes.”

Birch Bryan urges his knights and soldiers to be cautious.

I didn't have to worry so much, but I let it go.

Birch Bryan tries to kick down the Feud Door, and I put my hands up.

“Behave yourself. ”

“Yes?”

“The war is already over. ”

“Yes, I know. ”

“Then the politics begin. So be polite and dignified. ”

As you can see, Birch Baron bows low, paying his respects, then shouts to the inside of the battle.

“The Grand Duke of Karl has arrived. Hurry and open the Feud Gate! ”

Feud doors that won't open for a while. But as Birch Brian spoke more and more, it was finally open.

Birch Bryan goes in first and guides me in a respectful manner.

“Grand Duke, come in. ”

“Okay. Let's do it that way. ”

In the battle, I could see the long stretches on both sides and the knights surrounding the throne.

In front of them, a middle-aged man stood in a majestic posture, which obscured the throne so that he could not be seen.

The rich middle-aged man was Earl Rembert, a senior master prosecutor and the final restoration of his uncle.

“Earl Lepvert. I came to see my uncle, but I can't see him because of the Marquis. ”

Earl Rembert steps down the stairs slowly, wielding his cloak.

Now I can see my uncle. My uncle was sitting on the throne trying to protect the system of the last emperor, but his body wouldn't follow. The uncle was trembling so hard that the width was exposed over the long canvas.

“Emperor. It hasn't changed. ”

Earl Rembet raises his hand to the sword and raises his manhood.

“Grand Duke! Pay your respects to His Majesty. ”

I stood tall in front of the priests and knelt with one knee respectfully before my uncle, the emperor.

“Long time no see, Emperor. This nephew has come to the Emperor after a long time. Have you been well?”

My uncle barely spoke.

“I do.”

“Rest assured I'm here. This nephew. Hearing the urgent news from the Empire and the Emperor, he suddenly stood up like this and defeated a whole horde of bandits and brought peace to this glorious empire of Yosrahim. ”

My uncle barely looked at me.

“Well done. You've done a great job. ”

I looked around and said,

“But, there's a lot of activity here, too. ”

At that moment, the atmosphere in the war subsided sharply, and my uncle kept his mouth shut without saying anything.

Earl Lembert has spoken on behalf of all.

“The Grand Duke. This is the only loyalty we have gathered to serve the Emperor. ”

I rose to seek the Emperor's permission and stared at the late Rembert.

“Marquis. Let's see if we're loyal, deceitful, or not." ”

Earl Rembert raises his hand and says,

“How? ”

“Then let me ask you a question first. Are there any of these people who haven't exchanged letters with the deceased Duke of Rupert? By the way, I have the letters. ”

Earl Rembert frowned and looked around, avoiding the gaze on his head or coughing as if the modern materials were unashamed.

Earl Lembert bites his lip.

“Humans make mistakes. Even more so if the fate of your family and family depends on it. If you don't understand this, you must be a soldier. ”

“That's the story of the age of peace. This is an exhibition.It's a time of barbarians killing each other. ”

“But isn't the war over? ”

“It doesn't have to be that way. Politics must end, the war must end. How can we reopen the glorious Yosrahim Empire with our lives intact? Kill them all.”

Earl Lembert narrows his eyes.

“Fine. Let's kill him. Who's the last one?”

“I don't know. All I know is the sky. ”

“Sounds like the Grand Duke wants to kill you. ”

I had a little smile on my mouth.

“Hmph. Wouldn't that be better than dying?" ”

“But if you're going to kill them all, how are you going to manage this empire? ”

“Is the Marquis inverse? Why should I run an empire when there is an emperor? ”

Earl Lembert shudders.

“So you have no intention of deposing the Emperor? ”

“But too many people died to do that. Too many soldiers have bled and too many people have been laid to rest on cold ground. Shouldn't someone be responsible? ”

Earl Lembert shouts.

“But you didn't start the war! ”

“But the cause provider is central politics. The forces of light that alone possess the power of the Empire. Neglected local forces. This phenomenon was invented by the best of us. ”

“The Grand Duke took on that phenomenon and turned it upside down. ”

It was Earl Rembert, specifically emphasizing the reverse.

It was a matter of immunity for the other priests, emphasizing the fact of my shortcomings, and I was mistaken.

I had no intention of taking the throne by force, nor of becoming an emperor immediately.

Becoming emperor with a sword is for amateurs. Carl is just helping.

“What's the catch? When did I set you up? ”

“Then what the hell is the Grand Duke doing in this war? ”

“I'm here to advise you. ”

“Haha. Did you just say advice? ”

“Yes. Now that the Emperor's inability has made the world dizzy and innocent people have died miserably in their mourning, I suggest you come down from the throne and care for them." It's better than being the worst tyrant in history, right? Even for yourself, Emperor. ”

Earl Rembert has made a difference.

“Very well. Then who is the emperor? ”

I squirm at one mouth.

“Why are you asking me that? Is the Marquis a traitor? ”

“What?"

I bent to my uncle.

“Emperor. All rights regarding succession are reserved for the Emperor. Who would you consider to be your next emperor? Be careful.”

“Grand Duke!”

Earl Lembert is furious and suddenly draws his sword.

At that moment, even the imperial guard and my men drew their swords together.

A sudden flurry. I tried to shoot the Marquis of Rembet with an audacious look on my face.

“Marquis, how dare you draw your sword in safety? Don't you see the Emperor in front of you? Even if the Emperor has committed a grave offense the other day, we shouldn't ignore him like this. ”

“Ugh. ”

Earl Rembert trembles with his sword in his hand. Within the battle of the Emperor, it is a felony to draw the sword carelessly.

I gave my young eyes to the Marquis.

“Go ahead and put it in. I don't know if His Majesty will leave the Marquis alone, but I won't. Put it in!"

Earl Rembert finally snores and puts the sword back in the stables.

“Ugh. The Grand Duke acts like a fish he met with water, but he'll flip soon enough." There is a guardian god in this empire that no one can touch. ”

“Oh, the inspiration? I wish I could see the old man's face. It's because I didn't tell you. There's a lot of grief going on. ”

“Hmph. Let's see where he comes from and get his ass kicked." ”

“Reflect.”

I told the Emperor again that I was mocking him.

“Then tell me, Emperor. Who's going to take the next bow? ”

The emperor barely speaks.

“I'll think about it. ”

“We don't have time. With the last civil war, people's anger is at an all-time high, and the anxiety of the empire is piled up like a mountain. We need to fix this right away, so please decide right here. ”

“Then Jan will do it. Don't you have a right? ”

I shaken my head decisively.

“But the Emperor has a different job to do, and he has a different job to do. My job is your job. ”

The emperor shakes his eyes. My uncle sat on the throne of the Emperor for a long time, and studied the study of genealogy deeply. I couldn't have known what I was doing.

“You've taken the hard way. We have a lot of bodies to pile up. Can you do that? ”

I smiled bitterly.

“I've done something similar, and I think I can do it well. It's good for the Empire anyway. ”

“I see. Give me one last day. Soon I will summon the princes and discuss the next throne. ”

It was a reasonable time of day. I nodded.

“Yes, I'll wait just one day. ”

“Thank you. I'll be off to my chambers, then. I fell asleep on my roots, and I'm very tired. ”

“Yes. Then go back and take care of the octopus. ”

The emperor got up and left the throne helplessly. The late Rembert who followed me gave me a sharp glance. Soon after the war, all the major pieces in the war quickly retreated, noticing, and I got up from my seat and washed the dust off my knees.

Birch Brian approaches me and says,

“Looks like the Lembert Marquis needs to be eliminated. ”

I waved my hand.

“No. Let him live. ”

“But he's dangerous. ”

“But it's also a great bait. Bait is used for catching fish. It would be a shame if we ate it as snacks all the time. ”

“Then?”

“Yes. You have to trim it well and use it as a bomb. I hunt hidden rats, and I rarely see one of the Marquis of Rembert. Anyway, a person is reliable and generous. A lot of people will stick around. Hehe.”

“Yes, I'm sure. ”

I said, facing out the gate of the battle.

“Anyway, tell him to supervise his men. Not a single one of them should leave Hwang Sung. Especially not when you're leaving the Empire. We must get rid of the aftereffects. It's even better if you add reason and morality to it. ”

“Yes, I'll ask him. ”

On that day, I valiantly declared that I would return to the empire of the past with the fame of Emperor Siegfried in front of the people of Hwang.

I mean, you can take religion back to Yin Yang, and you can change the law accordingly.

Thanks to this, the Empire was able to create freedom of religion, and even religious sects belonging to dark forces were able to open temples to the empire.

We are able to have a flexible diplomatic relationship with the dark forces of the Kingdom of Calgo and the Orcs, and we are able to start trading with them.

Of course, it had nothing to do with the forces of light.

They don't usually look pretty, and the tough doctrines of the Cult of Light will stop the progress of the Empire from happening.

To be honest, the Church of Light insisted that we should not practice doctrines. Commerce and industry were inferior, which prevented economic and industrial development, and wealth building was considered a bad business, which prevented people from trying to live a better life.

And with their numerous examples, they had difficulties with swift governance, and whatever they were doing became a hindrance.

How do you make this religion a religion? Screw the country.

My goal is to create a stable and powerful empire without Cloud Grandfather. I was going to eliminate all the obstacles here.

I also announced that I will be conducting a large civil works project. The fanatics spilled some hypocrisy about what they were doing in this courtyard just after the civil war, but they had to. It was a breach in traffic throughout the empire.

Commerce and industry must be breached for progress. It should be easy to move between cities and many people should come and go. So we have to clear a path.

Moreover, the empire has seen a sudden increase in glass-happy populations with devastated lands and fallen economies. There was not a single large-scale civil works to offer them jobs.

If it was just a matter of money, it didn't really matter. I have some money. But it was never a charitable business. If I let go of the train, of course the train is mine. And the fare out of here comes back in my pocket.

If the history of mankind continues into the distant future, I will probably be written as the King of the Railroad.
