episode_0094

The imperial family, which could be said to be the masters of the continent, had three knightly orders.

The Lunar Knights are solely responsible for protecting the imperial family.

A Japanese knight order that conveys the imperial will to the nobles while also oppressing them.

Lastly, the Black Sky Knights, who watch over the imperial family in a heterogeneous manner.

Among these, the Black Sky Knights were rumored to be the most brutal of the imperial knight orders.

And the black knight who just visited the Holy Kingdom was a member of the Black Sky Knights.

Judging from the number 4 on his armor, he was someone with a high rank within the Black Sky Knights.

“According to the Nymph Protection Act, all of Count Gu Anitul’s family members were annihilated, and those related to him were also annihilated up to the third generation.”

Nymph protector.

It was a law created by the first emperor to protect nymphs who could not fight with humans due to divine regulations.

However, even among the nymphs, the nymph protection law was received with skepticism. As representatives of the gods, they were supposed to lead humans, and even innocent people were executed for trivial matters.

It was a law that could only be uncomfortable for the nymphs, who were created by the goddess Hestia with the intention of love and affection.

And the Pope was no different. No, the Pope was the only one among the nymphs who knew the intentions of the first emperor who created this law, so he could not help but feel even more uncomfortable.

The Pope asked the knight who had come to see him.

“Did you come here just to see this?”

“No. This is to convey the chairman’s opinion on the agenda we are discussing now.”

“Your mother?”

The Pope looked embarrassed.

The Titan god Cyan has not yet been reported to the imperial court, as they have already struck first.

“There is no place on this continent that His eyes and ears do not reach.”

“I know. But I never dreamed that they would be watching us.”

“Protection, not surveillance.”

“Huh?”

“This is ridiculous.”

The other apostles were also astonished at the sight of the knight speaking so firmly.

The Pope asked the knight.

“So, what does your mother think about this agenda? ”

“They say it can’t be done.”

“Why?”

“They say it’s because of his black hair.”

“Is that all?”

“Yes.”

Everyone gathered here was dumbfounded by the article’s words.

. . .

“If the warrior had been there, I think he wouldn’t have uttered such unspeakable curses.

“Camilla, you know me too well?”

“Haven’t we spent a lot of time together, warrior?”

“We’ve only been together for two months.”

“What’s important is sticky time, not time itself.”

“Hey, if anyone hears that, they’ll misunderstand what I’m saying.”

“Is that so?”

He laughed awkwardly, either trying to change the mood or teasing me.

I want to hit this thing.

“But if she was the Pope’s mother, wasn’t she the first emperor?”

“That’s right. She is the Empress Astyrene who founded the empire.”

“It’s been a thousand years since the founding of the country, and you’re still alive? I can understand, since the Pope is a nymph.”

Considering that Helia maintains her youthful appearance despite being 200 years old, nymphs are basically an immortal race. Even considering that a 200-year-old is considered a young newbie among nymphs, it would not be strange for a pope to live for over a thousand years.

But the first emperor was an ordinary human being.

Even if you use mana like Camilla to prevent aging, it won’t be easy to survive for more than a thousand years.

“The first emperor is immortal, just like us nymphs, thanks to the twelve blessings he received from the nymphs.”

“I see… But is that old lady who lived for a thousand years telling her son to do this and that in the country he governs?”

“That’s right.”

“You’re crazy.”

My child was old enough to be independent, so I thought it was ugly.

I shouldn’t do that to Ciel.

“As expected, the warrior is the type who would speak his mind even in front of the emperor.”

“Is that so?”

“You can consider it the time when the Imperial Knights visit the village later..”

“Yeah, I look forward to that day coming soon.”

Camilla smiled meaningfully at my words.

It was a little annoying, but I had a question so I asked Helen first.

“But if you’re a Titan, is it natural for you nymphs to be hungry?”

Even when I went on a month-long expedition with Helen, or when I bathed with other nymphs, including Helia, I never felt particularly hungry.

“I feel a little uncomfortable being treated like a cannibal.”

“Huh, the first emperor was worried that Xian would not eat us directly, but rather eat the divinity.”

“If it’s divine?”

“I’m talking about the disc above our heads.”

“This?”

At Helen’s words, I licked her disc and tasted it.

“Huh?!”

“Huh?!”

“It definitely tastes like sweet bread.”

“That… time, sir?”

“You are amazing.”

“What?”

Helen and Camilla reacted differently to my actions.

Helen’s face turned as red as a carrot, and Camilla spoke in a voice that could not contain her astonishment.

“I never dreamed that the apostle I considered like a mother would sexually harass me in front of me.”

“Your speech is ridiculous. You call this sexual harassment?”

All I do is lick the decorations hanging on my head with my tongue?

“For a nymph, the disc is a part that is directly connected to the soul. If it were a human, it would be like licking the heart with the tongue. If that isn’t sexual harassment, then what is?”

“If you say so, then definitely… I’m sorry, Helen. I really didn’t know this was sexual harassment.”

“Okay, it’s okay. I was just flustered by the unexpected.”

“For something like that, Mama’s face is red.”

“Camilla, stay quiet.”

“Yep.”

It was the first time I had seen Helen angry.

Nymphs have this side too.

“And I should be the one to apologize.”

Perhaps trying to avoid embarrassment, Helen quickly changed the subject.

“I’m sorry. I brought up the subject for no reason and made you expect too much from me.”

“No. In the first place….”

Helen kept apologizing, but I quickly corrected her because I thought she was mistaken.

“Our family had no intention of moving to the Holy Kingdom.”

“Yes?”

Helen’s mouth fell open in shock at my decision, and I found it very cute.

“Looking at your confusion. Helen, you seem to have more concerns about the Holy Kingdom than I thought?”

“That, that too. I never dreamed that Mr. Sian would refuse. I thought you would definitely want the culture of a developed city… ”

“I used to think that way, but I’ve changed my mind recently.”

I said this while holding our daughter Ciel, who was sleeping soundly in Chloe’s arms.

“In short, the village of Lugeron has many flaws compared to other villages.”

Because of the monsters coming from the dark forest, security issues were serious, and because it was a remote area, infrastructure development was slow and it was difficult to access advanced civilization.

Even the residents’ attitude was not very good. Perhaps in order to survive in this environment, they were selfish towards their families and did not hesitate to impose personal sanctions.

“When I think of our Ciel, I can’t raise a child in a place like this.”

“Then why?”

“That’s… I said it would change.”

According to the village chief, the village of Lugeron is slowly changing due to his father’s influence.

If it were the past, when mercenaries attacked, everyone would have run away in different directions instead of coming together, and the younger generation like Carlson would not have emerged to change the village.

“So I’ll try to believe it once.”

Ciel suddenly woke up and looked at me with bright eyes and started laughing.

Do you like your dad that much?

“Like my father, I want to be a positive influence on the people here.”

It’s still questionable.

Why did my father stay in this village?

Even if he was a criminal, he didn’t have to stay near the village of Lugeron.

“And then I thought about it, I realized I hadn’t really accomplished anything.”

“Have you already forgotten what happened during the expedition, sir?”

Camilla, who is still grumbling with an expressionless face.

I spoke carefully in front of Ciel.

“That was possible because I am a Titan.”

Looking back now, both my current family and my performance on expeditions were ultimately thanks to my innate physical ability.

When I think about what I have personally accomplished, it was only at the level of implementing Ondol.

“As a father and as a father, to create a village for our family.”

There is a saying that there is no paradise where you run away.

Rather than leaving after considering many conditions, wouldn’t it be better to try out the things I can do first?

“Then we can proudly brag to Ciel that her dad did this.”

“I see.”

Helen began to smile brightly, as if she was pleased with my decision.

“Thank goodness. The gift I’m giving you on your behalf will be something you would really like.”

“Gift?”

“If you can’t invite Lord Cian to the Holy Kingdom, you can just build a road that connects the Holy Kingdom to the village of Lugeron.”

For a moment, I didn’t understand what Helen was saying, so I went over it in my head a few times.

“Do you guys have so much money that you can’t even afford to pay for it?”
