Chapter 315

TL: Zimmings

Ten days after I expressed my will of independence, I looked through the window at the holy beasts in the sky.

‘It’s getting bigger and bigger.’

The rate of growth is much faster than expected.

Just as I was contemplating what had happened, Seria went in.

“Lady!”

“What’s the matter?”

“The gates of the temple have been opened.”

My face hardened.

“Did they respond to the Imperial Palace’s investigation request?”

“No. They did not follow the orders of the Imperial Palace and started evangelism.”

“Evangelism…….”

“How could that happen?”

I sat down on the chair.

“It’s obvious. They don’t have enough humans to make holy beasts.”

“Will people visit the temple, which is branded as an unclean religion?”

“They will.”

“What?”

I knocked on the window with my fingertips.

“Because they’re afraid.”

“Aren’t those monsters created by the temple? Everyone should know that, right?”

“They’re going because it’s the temple that owns such a scary monster. If they go to the temple, they’ll think they’ll be okay.”

Above all, the more chaotic the world is, the more people need a place to lean on.

‘There is a reason why pseudo-religion is rampant in times of crisis.’

People need something to lean on when the situation is unstable.

Those who need to lean on will cover their eyes, no matter how obvious the truth may be.

They would believe that there is no way that the state religion that everyone has believed in until now is wrong.

It’s the poor priests who suffered from the tactics of those in power.

The temple wasn’t wrong.

Seria frowned at her.

“You gave them too much time. You should have attacked them right away without time to prepare.”

“The imperial palace hasn’t contacted us again?”

“Yes.”

I closed my eyes tightly.

‘I have to strike before the temple completes all preparations.’

However, the imperial palace will need more time. Dubblede’s independence was never an easy matter to decide.

Dubblede was, in name and reality, the center of commerce and politics in the empire.

The central axis of the empire is responsible for 10% of the Wigentra Empire tax with only long-distance teleportation and suwon.

Without us, the empire would be in great chaos.

‘But I can’t wait.’

I also have to prepare before the showdown.

Isaac and Johann are in charge of maintaining the Dubblede’s military, Henry and dad are working on cracking down on the nobles of the empire and royal families of other countries.

‘I have to do something about the temple.’

What if the pope does something to Mina…?

‘At a time when most of the empire have turned their backs on them, and even the imperial palace is trying to arrest them……’

I tapped on the table with my index finger, and took a breath.

I quickly looked at Seria.

“We should start preparing. Seria, bring me the parchment.”

“Huh?”

“Hurry!”

I immediately began writing letters on the parchment that Seria brought.

Dark clouds were gradually gathering in the sky.

***

Andre, who was peeping at her from the carriage, bit his fingernail.

‘Damn it, damn it…!’

Why should he, the first prince, bow down to a bitch?

He thought about going back, but he remembered his mother’s words.

“There is no need to return to the Imperial Palace if you do not receive forgiveness from Lady Dubblede.”

His grandfather, who kept pressuring him, and Eslon Marche, who looked at him as if he was pathetic, came to his mind.

Andre rubbed his face with his skinny hands.

‘Those bastards are all ignoring me.’

Born as the eldest son of the emperor, who is sure to inherit the throne, had the most noble bloodline.

When he slammed the inner wall of the carriage nervously…

Knock, knock.

A small knock was heard.

He opened the window and saw a man wearing a robe.

“It’s been a while, Your Highness.”

Andre shouted, startled by the familiar voice.

“You……!”

It was Cardinal Ridalante.

Andre frowned.

“You’re crazy. Why are you here?”

“Isn’t it safer than going to the Imperial Palace? Your Highness, give me a moment.”

“How dare you come to me?”

It was when Andre was in a hurry to call the escort.

“Your Highness, how do you think I could break through the Imperial guard and knock on your carriage?”

“What have you done to my escorts?”

“Don’t worry. They are safe. Neliardism has been the root of the empire for over a thousand years. Couldn’t we have planted people that were your escort?”

“This……!”

“There is something I must say.”

“What?”

Ridalante’s lips went up.

“Does Your Highness think you have any power in the imperial family? Every escort and every ornament in your room was borrowed from Duke Marche, His Majesty, and the empress.”

Andre’s expression darkened.

“How could a traitor dare to mock me!”

Ridalante hurriedly waved his hands.

“Ah, don’t get me wrong. I’m not disgracing Your Highness, I’m just trying to point out the situation and help you.”

“……Help me?”

Ridalante said in a soft voice.

“Don’t you want to turn the world upside down, where nothing belongs to you?”

“…What are you talking about?”

“Don’t you want to rule the world and those who look down on you kneeled at your feet?”

“It will naturally be like that. I’m the eldest son of the emperor.”

“You can take the world in your hands as soon as possible. If we help.”

“How?”

As Andre’s voice lowered, Ridalante spoke in a more sinister voice.

“Didn’t I tell you? Neliardism has been the root of the empire for over a thousand years, and there is no place out of our reach throughout the empire.”

“So what’s the way…!”

“We have our people in the emperor’s palace.”

Andre’s eyes widened. Ridalante smiled and continued.

“They’re loyal people who don’t mind putting a drop or two of poison in the emperor’s tea.”

“…….”

“I’ll ask you, Your Highness. If His Majesty the Emperor falls, who will be in his place?”

“…….”

“Who will take Alexander Louerg’s place?”

Andre smacked his lips.

He closed my lips for a long time. Then he muttered.

“I am the first prince…”

Andre’s eyes flashed with desire.

It was in the morning whe I sent the letter, but a reply immediately came in the afternoon.

When I made a serious face after reading the reply, my three maids asked.

“What are you doing?”

“Hmm, it’s nothing. I’m just preparing for the war.”

Then Laura, who was behind the three maids, asked, “Isn’t war a big of a deal?” and tilted her head, Yuni, the youngest of the three maids, raised her voice, “Oho!”

“If we think it’s not a big deal, then it’s not.”

Linda agreed.

“Yes, Laura.”

Dahlia nodded her head with a serious expression.

I giggled and folded the letter because the three maids were funny.

“Thanks for the coat.”

Dahlia said, as she put the coat over my shoulder.

“Where are you going?”

“To the magic tower.”

“That tower?”

“Yes, I’ll ask for help in the war against the temple.”

“Lea, no, Dame Shavanol and Sir Zachary are going as your escort?”

“No.”

The three maids were startled and stopped me.

“Are you trying to go out without an escort?”

“In this situation?!”

“Lady…….”

Linda, Yuni, and Dahlia said.

I raised my hands and replied.

“You have to listen until the end. Today my escort is-”

“It’s me.”

Isaac, who came in without a knock, said with a scabbard on his shoulder. Johann and Henry, who followed, simultaneously grabbed Isaac’s shoulders.

“Knock first.”

“Please. Where are you going to use your manners?”

Ck, Isaac clicked his tongue, “I know.” He said and beckoned to me.

“Let’s go, kid.”

“Yes.”

It was going out for work, but it had been a long time since the siblings went out side by side.

‘It’s been two years.’

I felt like I was going on an outing, so I hummed and left the mansion.

We moved by the carriage without using a scroll.

Unless the temple goes crazy, without proper preparation, there is no chance of them attacking us.

So, I decided to save as much resources as possible in preparation for a war with the temple, especially the scroll.

Isaac rested his chin on the top of my head as I grinned while holding onto the window frame of the carriage.

“What made you so excited?”

“After the war is over, will we be able to go out this often?”

Henry, who was flipping through the newspaper, smiled.

“Yes. If it ends safely.”

Johann slapped Isaac’s head slightly and smiled.

“It will end safely.”

It’s raining, but I don’t like the smell of rain. It always felt good to hear the sound of rain next to people we care about.

The carriage arrived at the magic tower.

I got off with the escorts of Johann and Henry. Isaac entered the tower one step ahead of us.

It was when I quickly followed him through the door.

“What’s this…….”

Isaac muttered with a stiff face.

I hurriedly looked around.

The smell of blood.

Blood was all over the floor, and the bodies of mage in red robes, the symbol of the magic towere, were on the ground.

From the opposite side, I can hear the sound of a footstep.

Henry hurriedly opened the barrier, Johann hugged me, and Isaac pulled out a sword.

“I’m not there.”

A familiar voice entered our ears.

It was Mina who appeared from the dark.

Blood splashed on her white cheeks. Her hands were also covered in blood.

Mina looked at my older brothers with a pouty expression on her face.

“I’m not there, I’m here. Really… I’m sad!”

Then she looked at the three of them and smiled.

“I came because I thought you’d miss me. Johann, Henry, and Isaac all said that you’ll be sad if you can’t see me for three days.”

Isaac burst out laughing.

“Crazy…….”

“You must be too shy to admit it. Even if you speak to me coldly, you actually love me very much.”

Saying that, she smiled brightly.
