I'm finally ready to leave for the Empire.
According to Julkan's advice, I sent an envoy in advance.
The number of people bound for the empire was quite larger than usual.
Jaeho, Tina, May, Samantha, Red, Dakist, Buffalo, Goldus and so on.
In addition, Wan-sik and Jin-ah, who heard the news, left the island and joined Jae-ho.
In fact, there were many other players behind the crew, including the Goinghel.
Jae-ho's colleagues who followed the news of going to the empire.
After taking out so many people, other players followed them because they thought they might run a big quest somewhere else.
At least one Jae-ho will be going inside the empire anyway.
"I'm so nervous."
"Phew! What is it? Do you get nervous?"
When he saw Jae-ho with a slightly pale complexion, Wan-sik burst into laughter.
"Well, so will I."
The Midst Empire.
the strongest empire in the middle of the continent
A sanctuary where no player has ever been inside.
It's natural to be nervous to say that Jae-ho has come through all kinds of big quests...….
"Please, I hope you don't have to stand in public with your panties."
“…….”
Jae-ho's words gave the finishing touch.
"Crazy guy. Then it is."
It was a whole different kind of worry.
An empire that arrived with that haggard crowd anyway.
In fact, the territory of the Midst Empire was immense, but the empire that ordinary people talked about referred to was toward the capital city where the Yellow Star was located.
Of course, the capital city alone is a combination of five or six countries, and it would not be easy to get out of the country without knowing the way.
"Is Alsia your Majesty?"
Fortunately, Jaeho didn't have to.
A knight in colorful armor waiting at the gate of the capital approached Jae-ho and asked.
"That's right. I'm Alsia."
"I've been waiting. It's an honor to have another hero on the continent."
At the sight of the knight politely greeting Jae-ho, the group behind him opened their mouths wide.
I've heard that the Empire's articles are all full of pride, and they were bowing to Jae-ho.
"Damn it! I'll be right next to him."
Wan-sik, who returned as a fine priest, murmured with tears of blood.
"Don't worry, because no one else has benefited in any way."
May's finished food up...….
"Oh, aren't you also a hero who, along with His Majesty Alsia, defended the Continent from the Dragon?"
“?!”
Knight who recognizes Mei who caught the dragon together.
Tingling
The eyes of Wan-sik, who was caught in the back of his head, tried hard to ignore it.
Anyway, they follow the article that came out to meet them and head to a nearby prepared carriage.
Climb onto the carriage and begin to move toward the Imperial Palace.
* * *
The driver guided me to a villa for guests in the palace.
"The Emperor will invite you to dinner. Until then, you can stay here."
Leaving the words behind, the article that guided him disappeared again for the guard duty at the villa.
"Awesome! Coming into the palace!”
"Oh, just looking around makes my construction experience go up!"
"You're getting a lot of fame, aren't you?”
The whole party was scattered in all directions looking for things that would be worth the experience, but it was not Jae-ho.
If it wasn't related to flowers in the first place, it wasn't that desperate.
'It seemed like the garden was pretty well decorated.’
It was meaningless that the Elysia Garden was already a heaven of many times better flowers.
And Jae-ho had someone to meet separately.
'Maybe it's about time.’
I waited a little longer with that thought, and finally I heard someone coming from outside.
"Your Majesty Alsia."
A quarrel waiting in front of Jae-ho's room called Jae-ho.
"Prince Herari 1 has come."
"Huh?"
All of a sudden, the first prince?
Jae-ho was waiting for the prince.
Fifth Prince Gentrno.
Suddenly, however, the first prince, who did not care at all, appeared.
'Well, you don't have a choice.’
Now that we have entered the palace, we have not been able to deal with the princes, who will be the second most powerful being after the emperor.
"Oh, are you King Alsia?"
Herari the first prince facing Jaeho.
He looked about ten years older than Gentrno, and had quite a strong impression.
Also, it's like Gentrno who doesn't get intimidated by Jae-ho's fierce face.
"Ha ha! You look more dashing than rumors. Yeah, I heard you did a great job this time, didn't you?”
He continued by paying his respects to Jae-ho, who had swept away the pirates.
"If you're such an outstanding being, shouldn't you have a deeper relationship with our empire?"
What he wanted was after all similar to Gentrno.
"What do you think? Would you like to move with me toward a better future?"
Let's hold hands.
Even the most powerful heir to the throne, Jaeho and Elishia, are the best forces to embrace if possible.
Until now, he had been quiet because he was wary of emptying the imperial family, but it was a unique opportunity for him now that Jae-ho himself.
"Thank you for your kind words."
Once Jae-ho answered politely.
"But it's difficult to make a hasty decision right now, so I think I'll need some time.
"Cancer, of course."
Herari fully understood Jae-ho.
It was difficult to see the results right away anyway, and it was enough to meet and appeal to one's favor.
'Of course I'll accept.’
He left his seat with such conviction.
"I've heard from Prince Gentrno, but... I guess the princes are really after me."
Seeing Prince I come straight to you...….
And that was the beginning.
Other princes also visited Jae-ho one after another and suggested that he join them.
The presence of Jae-ho, who has accomplished many things on the continent, could have filled their next emperor's resume to the fullest.
"Your Majesty Alsia. Prince Gentrno is here."
“!”
After all the princes had gone, the waiting man finally arrived.
* * *
Gentrno, facing Jae-ho, looked very unhappy.
He did not like Jae-ho's sudden visit to the imperial family in this way.
From his point of view, it seems as if Jae-ho is trying to raise his value.
"You don't feel very good."
He expressed his feelings frankly.
"It's not good to expose you to other brothers in this way. They're going to have a meeting today, and they're going to use it to fight the throne as they please."
Jae-ho, fully aware of the complaint, nodded.
"I've been fully prepared. As of today, the battle for the throne will be over."
“……?!”
Gentrno's eyes glared at Jae-ho's sudden remark.
"What, what, what...You don't think you're going to do anything here?”
Already, the quarrel outside the door was far away, but due to the seriousness of the story, Gentrno kept on asking back.
"Without proper preparation, it's only a loss to get things done in this situation! It will only be good for the other brothers!"
I knew from my own investigation that Jae-ho is quite provocative and impulsive.
But this wasn't it.
Assassination in the palace!
"No."
“……?”
No matter how crazy you are, you will not attempt to assassinate the emperor in the middle of the palace.
"Today I'm going to negotiate with His Majesty the Emperor. To crown Prince Gentrno as the next emperor.”
"헙?"
To the astounded Gentrno, Jae-ho calmly explained his plans.
"......is that really true?"
Upon hearing all the plans Jae-ho had made, Gentrno opened his mouth after a long silence.
"Why would you tell such a lie? If the Fifth Prince goes wrong, I'm going to die with him.
"Um..."
Gentrno was in agony again.
Jae-ho's plan was simple, but in a way, it was futile.
Saving the Emperor's life, and giving the credit to Gentrno.
The present emperor is in very poor health due to old age and chronic disease.
But Jae-ho has a medicine that can solve the problem fundamentally.
If it were true, it could have been the best way.
Taking over the throne naturally without looking at blood was the best way to maintain the power of the empire.
Of course, on the premise that eternal life is not a lie.
"Also, everything he eats is thoroughly controlled. How the hell are you going to feed me that kind of unidentified drug?”
"So I prepared this."
Jae-ho brought out the chills.
“……?”
When he couldn't see anything, he tilted his head, but soon opened it up and realized there was something transparent.
"What is this?"
"Special clothes to entice the Emperor."
“………….”
It wasn't all clothes to wear.
Isn't one of the basic functions of clothes to cover bare skin?
But what Jae Ho is holding right now is that he didn't even meet the basics.
And... ...
"I don't know where you've heard that rumor, but you don't have that taste. It's also called the Emperors of Energy in their prime.….”
It was a story that I didn't really want to know.
"Hmmm, it's not that...….”
Jae-ho explained the chills, and Gentrno was more confused than he had heard about the Bulloozoa.
"Don't make fun of me!"
"Prince Gentrno! This is a great opportunity!"
Jae-ho strongly appealed.
"I'm sure the emperor of the Empire will see the true value of this dress!"
"Don't make me laugh! Is that what you're talking about?! Meet your father naked!"
His stubborn refusal forced him to prove it with his own eyes.
"Prince Gentrno."
Jae-ho lowered his voice and called him seriously.
"Didn't you say that the imperial position is not so great? It's no time to cover the cold and hot water, isn't it?"
"That's not the problem. As a prince... ...no, as a human being!"
"Then I'll prove it myself!"
Jae-ho, who shouted so much, changed his clothes without hesitation.
"You, you crazy bastard!"
the vulgar profanity of Gentrno's mouth
But soon his eyes were wide open.
"Hey, what the...…?”
Gentrno, more dramatic than Lunior.
Maybe his eyes are shining now...….
"What are you doing?! King Alsia! Keep your dignity!"
"Huh?"
I'm sure Gentrno's eyes are covered in brilliant light...…?
"Oh. Right."
Jae-ho belatedly realized his mistake.
An item that only recognizes the true value of a partner with a higher reputation or notoriety than Jae-ho.
Jae-ho was confused with the option and thought the other way around.
[Reduces the favorability of the Gentrno prince.]
[Caution] Excessive drop in favor puts the alliance at risk.]
"Oh, this is not it."
"Can't you dress right now!"
Jaeho scratched his head.
That's why Prince Gentrno will never join Jae-ho'
'First of all, you need to feel the effect of this dress.’
Maybe he can feel something weird just by trying it on.
"No! I will never be an idiot!"
Naturally he refused stubbornly.
"Hmmm, Prince Gentrno. Just listen to it. You know, this is...….”
Jae-ho poured out all sorts of pleasant words to persuade him.
And for Gentrno, he's offered a number of conditions that could be harsh.
The sweetest of all...….
"I'll return some of the pirate's balls to Prince Gentrno."
“?!”
Jae-ho was to use the fact that he had met Gentrno once before to make up that he had in-depth discussions on the pirate issue.
"Well, that's tempting, but...….”
Still, why should I meet the Emperor in my panties?
"You have to trust me completely!"
Boom boom!
Jae-ho said, clutching the prince's shoulder strongly.
"I'm not alone. I'm going to wear this, too. You don't have to be afraid."
a continual stream of devil whispering
"Will I, called the hero of the continent, wear this to save face for myself? Isn't that for a reason?"
"Uh..."
"Take courage!"
At the end of Jae-ho's sweet temptation, Gentrno eventually nodded.
Then he accepted the chills with trembling hands.
The texture felt through my hands was more luxurious than any fabric I had ever felt, so it certainly wasn't an ordinary dress.
"Whoa... ...okay. I'll try it on."
Then he hid behind the curtains around the bed and changed and came out again.
Oh, my God!
"Ugh!"
Wearing a creepy Genterno, Jae-ho is the light emitted from him!
Jae-ho, who had a higher reputation than Gentrno, was able to see the original form of goosebumps.
Lunior was right.
Shapeless clothing that gives off a glow, as if it were wearing light itself.
'This is... the real gruesomeness!
Jae-ho was convinced by the sacredness of the sacredness.
The Emperor will surely come over!
"Hey, is this all right?”
"Good! How do you feel? Don't you feel something?"
When asked by Jae-ho, Gentrno nodded with an ambiguous expression.
"Hwa, I'm sure I'm gaining confidence for some reason...….”
"Mr. Alsia! Mr. Alsia!"
Drereuk
At that moment, May popped the door open.
"Huh?"
“???”
Drereuk
Without any change of expression, May was nimble to close the door.
