    Episode 220 – Princess, Ariana Crowfield 33 –

    Gold Tower.

    My stomach froze at her appearance.

    Even if the Academy is not as good as Gold Tower.

    Since she has a tremendous level of magical achievement, her coming is not a problem.

    In fact, she often visited the academy on occasion.

    But timing was the problem.

    What I have in my hand.

    This became a reason for her not to come.

    “Of course your actions are not a legal problem. But it’s a problem for me.”

    It was obvious.

    No matter what, she is a victim of my slander.

    “So what is the intention of showing such a book to me at this moment? I have no idea. I’m all dead too. I can’t predict things like this properly.”

    Of course, it’s common sense that you can’t do it.

    I guess she thinks I really calculated and did something.

    I am not god.

    However, she is not a saint either.

    We know the future, but it is not enough to accurately capture the changing future.

    I just follow the path I am sure of.

    In other words, she thinks I predicted her coming as if I were a saint.

    Even if she was a saint, she wouldn’t plan a plan in seconds.

    Is that a saint?

    A goddess.

    It takes me 2 seconds to even think about it.

    “So why did our Yeongsik do something like that?”

    There was a lot to say.

    It may be useless, though.

    But something came to mind.

    I answered right away.

    “The criminal who insulted the tower owner committed suicide. But isn’t it strange? Did you not feel the slightest strangeness while writing and publishing a novel like this? Didn’t he know he was going to die?

    Of course not. Even if the people who write often deviate from common sense. If you didn’t know that, you wouldn’t have the intelligence to learn letters. then… !”

    There was a pause.

    It was meant to heighten tension.

    “It means there is someone behind it. The person behind it has still not been caught. You never know when and where he will aim. Because of that, I felt the need to capture that darkness.”

    This is true.

    Because I am in the dark.

    If it becomes known, the emperor may personally accuse me of heresy.

    “So. Was it revealed like this?”

    “Yes.”

    “… ”

    And then her words disappeared.

    succeded.

    She will never realize my intentions.

    Previous. When I lived on Earth. There was a time when something like this went around.

    “Challengers cannot predict the movement of the iron.”

    This is unlike a master who thinks the other person is superior.

    This means that an opponent whose level is too low lacks common sense, making predictions meaningless.

    So she will be unpredictable.

    Actually, my image has improved because of my various achievements and positions.

    Because it is not because of personality, dignity, or character.

    ‘I bought some time with this.’

    As it is impossible to invade the Dukedom with Igrasil.

    There was a need to buy time.

    So, in a somewhat unreasonable move, I connected that reporter with this close relative.

    I never thought such luck would come.

    With a grin, I welcomed the golden pagoda that brought me good luck.

    ===========

    However, Geumtapju could not help but be embarrassed.

    Because Abraxas saw her like that…

    ‘You’re a bully. In this situation… Smile… ?’

    Rather, it was because he was smiling as if he liked it.

    The reason was simple.

    Abraxas didn’t know what Ariana would do, so he quickly came up with an impromptu plan.

    The sudden appearance of the newspaper department is so strange.

    Ariana seems to be related to that situation.

    The trial was a battle of public opinion.

    Seonghwangcheong is an ideological group. The reason they are ultimately able to gain power is because they represent the Celestial Church.

    So I think public opinion is important.

    The reason why I thought the non-affiliated adult strategy would work is also similar.

    So Abraxas resorted to unreasonable measures to change public opinion.

    It is similar to the method used by politicians in Korea.

    It’s just a way to keep the public from paying attention to the trial itself.

    From Ariana’s point of view, which lacks evidence and power.

    If it becomes difficult to attract public opinion, it becomes even more disadvantageous.

    The imperial family will try to sabotage the Holy Emperor’s Office after Abraxas’s death in order to restore their honor.

    At that time, if there is no protection of public opinion, it will be revealed that they are the instigators.

    At least the cardinals and later the bishops who will aim for the pope are structured so that they have no choice but to care about public opinion.

    That is why Abraxas welcomed her.

    I had to change the topic a bit by being a bit unreasonable.

    Gold Tower. Because when she came, the reaction went into a completely different direction.

    From his perspective, it was the most perfect situation.

    “Good. I only heard about him through rumors, but he is even crazier than I thought. anyway. Let me tell you one thing.”

    “What is it?”

    “That book. Burn it.”

    As instructed.

    He started talking and immediately started a fire in his hand.

    Mu Yeongchang.

    Even if it is a simple magic, it is an art that cannot be easily performed unless one has reached the advanced level.

    I was a little surprised that he, a knight, was able to do that.

    “… For something you carry so openly, it burns quickly?”

    “This is a request from the person concerned, so we must listen to it. I have that much conscience.”

    “Do not call yourself a party. Just thinking about what was written in that book makes me shiver.”

    “The victim is also a party to the incident. And Emperor Peha is ‘that one’. Can I use the expression ‘my teeth are shaking’?”

    “He is my brother.”

    “And he is the number one figure in this country.”

    “You don’t speak?”

    “Even if he is my superior, it is because his immediate superior is his majesty. It’s right to prioritize your immediate superior, right?”

    This story is more important than you think.

    You can see it if you look at the military system.

    A person who has been given a mission can ignore orders, even if they are from a superior, while performing the mission.

    The only thing out of the question is the direct superior’s instructions.

    To that extent, direct superiors are important.

    and. The immediate subordinate and superior of Abraxas, who was serving as the imperial guard, was the emperor, Arthur Tantalotta.

    “… Huh.”

    Geumtapju sensed that he was laughing.

    How on earth can someone do something like that so casually?

    He was someone she could not have predicted.

    ‘I just came here to exchange magic. It’s really funny. Why on earth does Arthur have a person like that…? ‘

    The Lord of the Golden Tower was really curious about what his brother thought and whether Abraxas was a member of the royal guard.

    He did not take the exam and become a member of the Royal Guard.

    A human who was a member of the Honor Guard but was promoted to official status.

    She thought it was odd that she was chosen by her brother, who had a more accurate perspective than hers.

    however.

    ‘done. First of all, Geumtapju concluded that I was strange.’

    This was what Abraxas was aiming for.

    Why do people get scammed by scammers?

    Because they are logical?

    Wrong.

    Even though there are many loopholes in the scammer’s logic, people get scammed.

    This is because words account for only about 7% of what a person perceives and judges to be reasonable.

    When humans feel that something is plausible, they judge it through various non-verbal signals such as the other person’s appearance, confidence, and mood.

    I’m not telling you to be confident for no reason.

    If you are confident, you can overcome even weak logic.

    So Abraxas took out the book despite the improbability.

    ‘Geumtapju also asked why he took it out [in front of him]. I didn’t ask why I took it out. good. It’s a success.’

    When humans see something they cannot understand.

    I try to understand and eventually give up.

    Even if the target can understand.

    So Abraxas appealed that he was the most incomprehensible human being in the current situation.

    Any awkwardness was hidden with confidence.

    In order to stop Ariana’s actions, there is a need to block them.

    His recently raised status could raise questions every time he acted.

    Why would a human chosen by the Emperor of the Golden Tower behave like this? As if I had this thought.

    This was the method Abraxas chose because there was no guarantee that other humans would not do the same.

    “Okay… Anyway. I have one more thing to say.”

    Geumtapju decided to skip it for now.

    Anyway, what I have to do now has been decided.

    -Can you give me a moment? The purpose of coming here is different, but since I happened to meet you, I have something to do.

    Is the electromagnetic wave used through an auror?

    It can be similarly recreated with magic.

    Through him, the owner of the Golden Tower said something that Abraxas could never refuse.

    -So when are you planning on getting the Black Dragon Heart? Lord Abraxas?

    Abraxas’ heart broke at those words.
