“Your Majesty the Emperor?”
“Okay.”
I asked again, but the remark that came back was the same.
It was right that the emperor called me.
“Why?”
“Do you understand why? There are cases where calls are made for other reasons in order to disguise the original purpose of the call. First of all, the external purpose is to call a social church.”
Social church?
I raised my head at the unfamiliar word and glared at the president.
“In official documents, all xie jiao-related activities are referred to as xie jiao. I don’t know what form it takes. What is certain is that the reason His Majesty the Emperor called you was to invite you to that social club.”
“Then what is the reason for the invitation to that social church?”
“I don’t know?”
Irresponsible words flowed from the president’s mouth.
In cases like this, just answer with your personal opinion.
I just opened my mouth.
“No, at least it’s not something I expected.”
“Because I don’t have that, I can’t explain it. To be exact, there are, but there are too many. He might be asking why you went to the Federation, or he might be asking about what happened in Abenheim.
Or maybe he was just trying to call you about something that happened before, so he called you to a social club on a date 3 weeks after you said you would come, or it could really just be an invitation to a social club. Or maybe it was a Royal Guard thing.”
“Is it too broad?”
“If it wasn’t so broad, I would have given you the answer. I said it many times.”
“It’s still not helpful.”
“It can’t be helped.”
That was it.
There was nothing more for us to say.
It is the emperor’s order.
An action that is virtually unpredictable and is close to a natural disaster that cannot be avoided even if one tries to avoid it.
So it was right to just take it into account.
“So what is the date?”
“Tomorrow.”
“… It’s my first day back, so I’ll just wear my school uniform.”
“Sure. In the first place, even if you wear something strange, I won’t care much about your image.”
“Is it too much?”
“This is not what I want to hear from you, who openly walked around wearing clothes with His Majesty’s portrait painted on.”
“That could be true.”
No, I still don’t understand.
What about the photo?
After telling them to use every means they can to win (except breaking the rules).
“Oh, that’s right. I told you to go with me too.”
The president said while pointing at Lucas.
If he is included, the possibility decreases.
There is a high probability that it is related to Yeon-guk.
Of course, he may have taken that into consideration and deliberately invited Lucas.
“Let’s go first.”
Nothing is resolved here anyway.
What’s really important is that you have to stick to it to find out.
We decided to head straight to each other’s dormitories and prepare for the huge social politics that would take place tomorrow.
We don’t know about experience, but based on training, we are first-time nobles.
You always had to prepare for next time.
The first day back from Yeon-guk passed by so smoothly.
===========
“Are you ready?”
“I went to social clubs more than you. Unlike someone who gave me tiger head meat but couldn’t even make my debut.”
“But did you prepare a carriage for the imperial family? Is it really done properly?”
“Are you chewing my words? Last time, I rode a carriage with the president and headed to the imperial palace.”
This time, it is a formal request from the imperial family.
It’s not even like I’m going next to the president, I’m actually the invited guest.
To entertain guests who would not have come originally.
An extremely luxurious carriage was waiting in front.
It was fortunate.
If you had really tried to be hostile towards me, I would have treated you poorly.
At least, looking at this treatment, you don’t know the emperor’s inner thoughts.
He didn’t seem to have any intention of giving up his friendly attitude toward me.
‘After all, people need to be smart. If you’re only halfway smart… ‘Because I don’t know the intention, I feel a sense of rejection.’
In general, it would just be favorable.
I’m not a genius.
The emperor is a more capable person than me.
Such people should not be judged carelessly.
They may hide their hostility for trivial reasons that I don’t know about.
Calculating that is the way to live a long life.
“Please both of you board.”
At the words of the butler who came to guide us, we boarded the Cheonmacha, a carriage pulled by a horse.
The carriage soon departed and flew into the sky.
If anyone in Korea had seen it, they would have shouted Santa.
Of course, only the appearance was similar.
Led by a Pegasus named the Heavenly Horse instead of Rudolph.
Inside a carriage, not a sleigh.
Because it wasn’t Santa Claus, but just two noblemen who were tired of life.
After quite some time, we were able to arrive at our destination.
Even with my status as a marquis, I have been to this place less than 10 times.
It was Hwangseong.
“Every time I see this place, I can’t get used to it. How can this happen?”
The huge scale of the imperial castle is majestic in itself.
Academy cadets like us who rarely come here are overwhelmed every time.
I don’t know about other places, but the imperial palace is so huge that it cannot be recreated even with 21st century technology.
If it is natural in the first place, it is natural.
Some parts were made floating by magic, but how do I reproduce them?
It would be difficult to achieve that scale with the technological capabilities of modern society that I know of.
It would be completely impossible to maintain it beyond the floating level.
“How much horsepower does that thing take up?”
“Why do we consider that? All we have to do is quickly figure out why we were called and act wisely.”
As I slowly walk through the interior of the imperial palace, I think about the following.
High-ranking people around us are whispering while looking at us.
It seems that the news that the two of us left for Yeonguk has spread.
Fortunately, there is no story about the saint, so it must have been a tip-off from someone who went to the border via airship.
“The two of us… Why did you go there?”
“The Dome of Creation disappeared… It might be related.”
“I am only a second year student at the academy. No matter how good they are, there’s no way that just two people can solve a problem that even the Holy Emperor of the past couldn’t solve… ”
“And he is also the person who succeeded in bringing Abenheim into the empire.”
“That was because of the help of Her Highness the Second Princess… ”
Based on people’s stories, I was able to find out what the current hot topic was.
Although the appointment was made in advance, topical topics cannot be prepared in advance.
Across the situation where many stories were being made, we headed to the entrance wearing very crude academy uniforms.
Once inside, the situation changed.
There were so many people that it was confusing and yet contradictory and orderly.
As if they were tied together by invisible chains, without leaving their assigned positions.
We were talking about something as obvious as the program was talking about.
“So, how have you been?”
“Of course we got along well. Coincidentally, our mine hit the jackpot… ”
“Oh my. Good for you. Really congratulations. This is really good news, but what should I do?”
“Haha. Let’s create a huge place.”
Is it a machine?
It moves really mechanically and has AI-like conversations.
Even in 21st century Korea, there was no technology of that level.
A technology that degrades humans into machines.
I put my thoughts aside for a moment and located it in the corner.
People around me realized I was there, but no one approached me carelessly.
First of all, since we were invited, we could not have been less interested.
This seems to be because he is still new to politics and has little understanding of his tendencies.
If you are unlucky enough to be hated, it will be bothersome.
Everyone is waiting for someone else to approach first and clear the way.
Thankfully.
-Let’s just stay still until the emperor speaks. Anyway, no one seems to know the reason except the emperor.
[okay. Even though I asked Princess Alice, she couldn’t guess anything.]
Actually, after I was ready (since there was almost nothing to prepare other than clothes), I went to see Alice.
The reply came back saying that the details may not have been relayed to Alice.
Nothing was gained.
Because Alice was upset because of that.
The reason he came back and visited me after a few weeks.
It seems he was annoyed that it was for a public reason rather than just to say hello.
Of course, since it was the emperor’s order, I didn’t actually get annoyed.
It was noticeable.
Ten minutes of talking without saying anything, just by phone and phone.
The time has come for the situation to change.
“His Majesty the Emperor, the Sun of the Empire, enters.”
Emperor’s position.
And various schedules in progress.
He looked like a division commander at a training camp discharge ceremony.
Because he’s such a high-ranking person, his body is tense and shouldn’t move.
A lot of people talk unnecessarily.
I’ve seen it so many times already that I didn’t think much of it.
“Then I guess I should move on to the next item.”
The emperor moved on to the next item on the agenda.
It was only then that interesting stories began to unfold.
Issues in neighboring countries.
Great events within the empire.
The achievements of a nobleman.
Among commoners, those who made great achievements were elevated to noble status.
Although it wasn’t very interesting.
Still, more interesting stories unfolded than before.
“And Yeon-guk’s story remains. Isn’t it? Lord Abraxas?”
Until my story came out.
The emperor called me Sir.
This is not strange.
Nominally, I am a member of the Imperial Guard.
He is a direct subordinate of the emperor.
Of course, it’s an honor.
In the first place, even if it wasn’t an honorary guard, it didn’t matter because I had to follow the emperor’s orders, so I got this position.
“There was news that he was deeply involved in this Yeon-guk incident.”
How do you know that?
Was there really a hidden intelligence network?
“There was a report. There was a report that Kyung was doing something in Yeon-guk. A report was even made to me because of something or a piece of information that would normally have been overlooked.”
An uneasy feeling surrounds me.
Even if you recognized me. There is no reason for that information to be reported to the emperor.
so.
A reason to report to the emperor…
“After receiving an order from the imperial family. Reports of official contact with a company in the country came from three different sources.”
Ah life.
How do I get through this?
Hair as much as possible.
No, I’m going to overclock it and run it.
find a way
Just in case, find a way to survive.
I found a way by thinking more than I have ever used before.
My thoughts ended before a conclusion could be reached.
By none other than the words of the emperor.
“You followed my instructions well.”
yes?
I beg your pardon?
