392th episode
The Midst Empire, which had been without any significant exchanges after being granted the title of the Great King.
Originally, he had to help the throne of the Fifth Prince Gentrno, following the emperor who was about to lose his breath.
But as Jae-ho gave the emperor the eternal birch, he was perfectly rejuvenated.
Now the emperor would never die unless he inhaled poison.
It may be a little disappointing for the fifth prince, but considering the circumstances at the time, it was better now.
It was a little urgent for him to seek the throne, and it was a good opportunity for the emperor to regain his health.
It was obviously Gentrno who had the strongest acquaintance with Jaeho, because that was a great favor from the emperor.
Although he has not yet been chosen as the heir to the crown prince, it was a great achievement for him to come this far, who was far behind in the competition.
Also, Jae-ho's quest to make the Fifth Emperor was still under way...….
The visit of the Luroa empress also seemed to have nothing to do with the emperor's competition.
According to information, she has not yet publicly supported anyone in the current princes' fight for heirs.
But I was told by Zulkan that the power within the imperial family is more than the princes.
It was because the emperor's trust was strong because he was the oldest and had participated in state affairs for a long time.
I didn't know that if I didn't like him, I would have a problem with Gentrno's position.
'It's too much.'
Then why did the princess suddenly decide to visit the Elysia garden?
[*Quest*]
[Lu Roa's Empress is curious about you and the Elysia garden, who have been favored by the Emperor.
Also, I would like to meet you in person to find out about you, the leader of the great power behind the throne, the 5th prince who entered the competition.
If you win her favor, the Fifth Prince may also get her support, as well as her rise to the higher ground of the Elicia Garden in the future.]
[Quest Objective: To win the favor of Lu Roa, the 1st Empress.]
[Revenge: Attention of Lu Roa, the 1st Empress, and support of the 5th Prince's competition.]
Since the quest for Genterno's successor was still underway, it would have been an unconditional gain if it succeeded.
But even when he visited the royal family in the past, Luroa had never met and had never heard of him from Prince Gentrno.
Given that nothing has been said from him, this visit is not publicly known.
In a situation where information is extremely limited, Jae-ho agonized.
What could possibly win her favor?
The only thing you can do is related to flowers.
It was a prejudice that all women would like flowers.
'But... it's all in the world when it comes to cool people.’
It's a little strange, but Jae-ho has decided to use the crocodile family's performance.
The Elysia Garden is a wonderful place for peace and pleasure!
You're never going to go beyond the empire or play with the prince as a puppet!
he may at least be able to make an appeal that...
Perhaps the reason why Luroa's visit here is because of such worries, Jae-ho thought so.
However, the fire broke out and the plan was disrupted.
"You can restore the stage on time, but... The problem is the barrier to keep out the sandstorm. I don't think it'll be possible to rebuild it within the time limit. We need at least a week."
According to Gianth, it was difficult to present the crocodile family's performance to Luroa.
The chances of her staying here for a week were very low, so...….
'I can't force myself to be greedy.’
Unfortunately, Jae-ho decided to think of the crocodile family first.
They love to perform, but I couldn't give them such an incomplete stage.
However, the unexpected answer came back when he delivered the accident and performance plan to Kang Won-soo, CEO of Mineral Water.
Let's just go with the schedule!
The cool answer over the phone.
"What? Let's just do it?”
It was doubtful whether he understood the situation properly, but CEO Kang Won-soo knew exactly.
I can't help it if it's absolutely impossible, but this isn't that bad, is it? Then we should keep our promise with our fans. Besides, aren't there a lot of people who are biting us these days? One step back from here and they'll make more noise.
Kang Won-soo, who has a rather aggressive style.
However, worries remained.
On the day of the performance, if there was a sandstorm, the things I had prepared might be ruined.
Whoo...... Hwang seems to think that our crocodile family is too weak.
"What? I don't think so...….”
They have performed perfectly in various environments around the world. No matter how terrible a sandstorm blows, they'll be on the perfect stage.
He speaks with confidence.
And I'm sure the fans want me to do it on time rather than acting. Think about it. Take a vacation for that day, or open a coin bank and buy it! We should never betray them!
Due to the passionate claims made by Kang Won-soo, Jae-ho had no choice but to accept his head.
"Okay, then I'll do my best to prepare."
Haha! I look forward to your kind cooperation!
Hang up the phone, and...….
"Good for you."
Jae-ho smiled contentedly.
I didn't mean it, but it was good that things went in a good direction for Jae-ho anyway.
* * *
News spread that the crocodile family's performance in New World had an accident during the preparation process, and articles such as "Is it possible to have a normal concert?" and "The result of reckless greed" poured out.
The fans who bought the tickets were worried that the schedule might change, but they were relieved to announce that they would push for the concert normally.
However, there were different opinions among fans regarding this matter.
There are people who set fire to the concert hall, and they're asking if nothing's going to happen on the day of the concert.….
Such worries returned to a violent reaction, especially from the part of the crocodile bird of darkness, who insisted that this reckless scheme should be stopped immediately.
Their key argument is that the environment cannot guarantee the safety of crocodile families.
In response, Mineralwater has repeatedly said he will be fully concerned about the Elysia garden and safety.
But, of course, it couldn't have been just words.….
"Dumb bastards! Those things don't get dirty from old times!"
"That's right. The only thing I do is to catch a crocodile family's pant leg!"
"It's just money. I don't care about the safety of the members."
The moment when those complaints pile up and they set off the explosion...….
"How about this?"
The head of the crocodile birds of darkness and joined hands with Crooking. Cloud clouds that have been hit in the back of the head (in misunderstanding that they have been hit).
She came up with a rather radical idea.
"I don't know who set the concert hall on fire the other day, but... This time, we'll come forward ourselves. What terrible consequences does Mineral Water have?...... I'm showing it myself."
The twisted affection eventually began to take the wrong form.
"An evil is a greater evil."
I believed that the crocodile family would understand their noble hearts.
But not only the crocodile bird of darkness, but also the real culprit preparing for another attack... They didn't expect how tough it would be for their future.
* * *
A group of horse-riding knights across the desert.
Between them was a huge carriage drawn by ten horses.
The owner of the fancy carriage, which is as good as a mansion, was not a normal person.….
Passing through the desert and straight into the Elysia garden, the carriages and knights slowly crossed the boulevard leading to the flower shop.
"What is it? Where else did it come from?"
"When I look at the size of the wagon, I think he's a huge man, but... Isn't the number of guards too small?"
"Huck?! Hold on! That mark! That's the Midst Empire!"
Knights and carriages from the Empire.
The Elysia plant, which seemed to have been dormant for some time, was sure to be stormy again.
Meanwhile, Jae-ho, who already knew about their visit.
The owner of the carriage was Lu Roa, the princess.
Drrrr
A carriage stopped in front of the villa of Chairman Ok Han-dol, just in front of the boundary between the garden and the human residence area.
Wangseong had no place for guests to stay, so he had rented this place again.
'But... maybe it's just better inside the carriage...…?’
With the size of a huge carriage, Jae-ho thought so.
Chubbuck Chubbuck
One article that came first to Jae-ho.
He bowed slightly and set an example to Jae-ho first.
an unheard-of(?) image of the Empire
She's a different person, but...….’
Knights who serve powerful men in the imperial family would have a high nose, but they did not.
It is surprising that there was no such thing as a messenger of the Rasel Kingdom who had done so in the past, however, there was no such thing as kneeling on his knees.
"I'm sure you've been informed before, but Luro and the Empress are here to see King Alsia."
The carriage door opened with the introduction of the article.
Xu
A woman in a red dress who slowly descends to the ground.
Her dignified appearance was one of the most noblemen Jae-ho had ever met.
[I met Lu Roa, the First Empress of the Middle Kingdom.]
[Explosive increase in reputation.]
An unmistakable notification informed us that she was the real Luroa empress.
'But...'
There was no feeling in her grave gaze.
I've never felt anything like an old NPC in New World.….
I see through you, Luroa.
[All your achievements will be revealed to your opponent.]
When I met the familiar legend NPC or the royal family, I could not be embarrassed because it was something that everyone had experienced.
"...the rumor is way below reality. He's a great continent hero."
"I was just lucky."
Jae-ho approached Lu Roa and slightly lowered his head.
"Let me give you a formal introduction. This is Alsia, the owner of the Elysia Garden."
"This is Luroa Frappuccino. As you know, she is the first emperor and the sister of the younger sisters.”
It was obvious what it would have been like to see the natural way of evaluating the princes.
"Let's go inside for now.”
"Okay."
But Jae-ho, who was taking a few steps, found another strange thing.
Usually, in this case, the knights tried to stick close to the object they were supposed to protect.
But the knights of Luroa remained only on the side of the carriage, not caring at all.
'So there are too few guards for the First Emperor....... Is the Queen fighting well too?'
It occurred to me that he might be so confident in his own armed forces.
The luroa princess who came inside without a moment's hesitation.
Then began the conversation with a simple meal prepared inside.
The tension was eased by exchanging stories about past visits to the empire and the beautiful scenery of the Elysia Garden through the terrace.
But in the end, he came here for a purpose.
At the end of this good atmosphere, there might be a little uncomfortable talk.
Isn't that something you're asking for?’
A few words could not have earned him a favor when he saw the quest.
Experience has shown that there is a high possibility of making a strange request unconditionally.
"You must be very curious about why I came to visit the great king."
She read Jae-ho's mind and said,
"The Empire won't come here for no reason."
Now that the words came out, Jae-ho quickly passed the topic over.
"In addition, I wonder how important it would be if you came in person."
"It's not that I don't understand the king's mind. But I don't know how much you'll believe me. I'm not here for any purpose."
"What? Then why...….”
"Let's say it's a kind of wandering out of personal curiosity. I'm here because I want to meet the great king, who is always praising him."
“…….”
Is there a reason why it's scarier than that?
a hopeless situation in which there is no telling what to do to win her favor
Rather, it was a hundred times better to specify the purpose of the quest.
"Why are the world's nobles so free to play?’
However, Jae-ho soon realized that the situation was not so bad in his position.
'If you think you're just here to play...….’
Shouldn't we give VIPs a full course tour of the Elysia Garden?
Plus a crocodile family performance!
This Elisha garden was full of things to chew, rip, taste, and enjoy.
