    Episode 184 – First Operation 3 –

    The emperor’s remarks make me stiff.

    I’m trying to figure out what’s going on for a moment.

    good.

    Let’s get the information.

    I came back from Yeonguk.

    The fact that I visited there during that process may be known.

    however…

    I don’t know how it happened. Information was released that I had impersonated the imperial family.

    If the people of Yeonguk spread the word and it is passed on.

    I was going to insist that it was a misunderstanding of the Imperial Guard emblem I was wearing, but let’s move on for now.

    So in the end, the news that ‘I visited Yan and impersonated the imperial family’ reached the emperor’s ears.

    The emperor responded…

    [“You followed my instructions well.”]

    I answered.

    Turn your head.

    Think about what would be the best option.

    A low possibility, but not impossible, assumption comes to mind.

    It is not realistic to implement.

    However, it is difficult to say that there is another way.

    ‘Anyway, if it’s an imperial impersonation, it’s hard for even Alice to cover it. If something goes wrong, let’s say I stay in prison for a few years and then Alice releases me after the crown prince becomes emperor.’

    It’s a cliff edge anyway.

    I straighten my face and straighten my expression.

    He assumes the posture of a subordinate returning from the battlefield waiting for orders.

    The emperor laughed at that sight.

    “I’m glad it happened without delay.”

    The emperor muttered something to himself that no one who controlled me could understand.

    It wasn’t long before other people complained.

    “Imperial… There was no mention of any of that in the operation order!”

    “Is this an impersonation of the imperial family!?”

    “How can you do that!”

    Everyone looks at me while talking to each other.

    In particular, the expressions on the faces of members of families that are at odds with my family become brighter.

    They didn’t know why I was invited before.

    I am filled with joy as I realize that my seemingly invisible downfall is approaching.

    That was the last time.

    “No problem.”

    Everyone froze at his words.

    Maybe he was thinking of taking a look.

    However, it was a possibility that everyone was trying hard to deny.

    It was a possibility that I hadn’t even thought about because I couldn’t find any connection.

    however.

    “Abraxas Mentutihotep. He followed my orders well. There is no need to take issue with this.”

    my…

    The guess was correct.

    He was trying to make my impersonation real.

    Everyone looks at him in shock at that shocking statement.

    I endured it while somehow maintaining the poker face I had before.

    “From the Marquis of Mentutihotep?”

    “Is that really true?”

    “Your Majesty’s closest associate?”

    When everyone was shocked and talking about me.

    A voice interrupted everyone.

    “There is no need to be that surprised. Lord Abraxas is neither my confidant nor my closest associate. It was just that among the guards that I could give orders to, he was the one who could freely go to the country.

    Even though he was not a member of the Royal Guard, he is in a position to follow my orders. It seems better to refrain from spreading strange rumors.”

    Are you trying to reduce my burden?

    Or maybe it’s to cut off the tail in case a problem arises, I don’t know.

    He said he was not a close associate or anything like that.

    ‘But then what… They will think for themselves… !’

    That statement has no meaning.

    Anyway, those who think I am closest to them will think I did it just to hide it.

    Those who don’t will probably chew me out for the emperor’s remarks.

    Even if you are considered to be my closest associate, it is obvious that they will say something about my qualifications.

    I don’t know if you show the Auror Awakening to the Empire.

    ‘I think escaping is wrong anyway… ‘Let me show you when the time is right.’

    As technology is technology.

    If you show it at the right time, it can leave a big impact.

    While thinking like that, I was gradually building up my future plans.

    “The reason I mention it here is. This is to put an end to rumors and praise my guards for getting the right results.

    They did a good job with only trivial information and manpower. I can’t help but be overwhelmed.”

    No, wait a minute.

    If you say that again, you’ll just say “ he’s not my closest associate anyway.

    Why do you treat the younger brother of a marquess and heir as an emperor?

    “… ”

    “… ”

    “… ”

    There was silence in the hall for a while.

    The eyes of the nobles who had been so loud before turned to me.

    Male nobles tried to hide the shape of their mouths by touching their absent beards or pretending to wipe their mouths.

    The women covered their mouths with their hands, pretending to be cautious.

    What they had in common was that their eyes were open and facing me.

    The mouth was closed even though it was staring at me.

    Lucky is the person who is entrusted with the position of general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea, smiling happily as if he is satisfied with the sight.

    I was lost in thought, caught off guard by that sight.

    ‘The social world is going to be in an uproar.’

    The reason the nobles behaved this way was simple.

    It’s not that I didn’t think of it.

    The problem is simply that it was revealed.

    There will be something like the Emperor’s secret organization.

    Abraxas may belong there.

    However, I received such secret orders openly.

    It is said that he was active in that way.

    None of the nobles would have expected this.

    ‘It’s sad… How do I fix this… ‘

    Now the die is cast.

    And I got the best number, 6.

    But it wasn’t me who threw it.

    The emperor threw it, but I got the number.

    “There is no point in hiding the information once it has already been revealed. So I decided it would be better to just make it public.”

    Although they say it like that.

    Everyone knew.

    That that’s a lie.

    The person who obtained the information was not some operative.

    It’s just the top.

    There’s no way you can’t keep it secret.

    That’s why everyone is making such uncomfortable expressions.

    In fact, it actually revealed that I am the emperor’s confidant.

    And I became the Emperor’s henchman, something I never wanted to do.

    ‘… Should I say that it is fortunate? ‘If I wanted to pester him, I would have just done it myself, but seeing him rescue me like this.’

    This case was a clear opportunity for the emperor.

    A chance to challenge me without any problems.

    But he didn’t.

    This meant that at least I had some use to him.

    Unless I want the Emperor to drop me from the top spot into the abyss.

    “First of all, everyone seems to have calmed down. Now let’s enjoy it again.”

    At those words, the nobles resumed their activities like a well-organized AI.

    It was as if the program code was commanded to move vigorously.

    ah. It is true that the emperor gave the order.

    The difference from a program is that it can be violated.

    The moment you break it, you will be screwed.

    The peaceful moment continued for a while.

    No one approached me like before.

    This is because access has become more difficult.

    Approaching it now is the same as trying to get involved politically.

    Everyone will try to approach me through my father.

    It’s obvious.

    [Siippal. I almost got screwed. you. I’m glad I’m quick-witted. If it was slow, it was of no use.]

    -That applies to me. After hearing that one sentence, I realized that I was successful because I was good at acting. Even if you were embarrassed, if I brought you in without telling you anything and said you didn’t know, you could live, but not me.

    Without saying a word, we blamed each other for our mistakes.

    Fortunately, that is how the social church ended.

    The imperial family said they could send us the next day after putting us to sleep.

    Considering the possibility of becoming politically involved, I decided to leave immediately and headed to the Academy.

    I was tired.

    It was quiet.

    Perhaps because it was early morning when we arrived, there was no one walking around.

    In the middle of the year, enjoying the slightly cooler weather, we returned to each other’s dormitories.

    “… What on earth is happening like this?”

    The sanctuary of my heart that I finally arrived at was comfortable.

    At least terrible things like before don’t happen here.

    Suddenly, I remembered the first time I came here.

    I was caught by Professor Maximilian and dragged out right away.

    I think it started from then.

    Since I entered the academy, all kinds of incidents started happening.

    ‘I became involved with a princess who I thought I would never be involved with, and became a saint. And Abenheim, Igrasil, and Yeonguk… really. How did I end up with a saint… … wait for a sec.’

    A saint?

    A question arose.

    The object of mystery was the emperor’s source of information.

    recognized me

    It could have been so.

    I became a fairly well-known noble after the Abenheim incident.

    But the questions did not end there.

    ‘however… A person who knows nobles well enough to recognize me… ‘Why didn’t the saint know?’

    The saint is more famous than me.

    I started to become famous at best after the Abenheim incident.

    That is, not more than 3 months.

    The healing saint has been a saint for five years.

    But why…

    why. Was there any mention of her?

    I wanted to know why, but I wasn’t a saint.

    I had no choice but to pass by with doubts buried in my heart.

    like that.

    My journey in Yeon-guk.

    It ended.
