29 – Hogukkyung – (1)

Cathedral in the Imperial Palace.

A new order was about to be established in a controlled, solemn atmosphere.

The soft sunlight shone through the colored glass of the cathedral. huge crowds. In the center is a silver-haired girl standing confidently in a black robe.

A look so beautiful that anyone who sees it can’t help admiring it. There is an unmistakable nobility in the pale green eyes that seem hazy at first glance.

“Lyncia Hodier Irn.”

The person standing opposite her is the vice-chairman of the Senate Council.

what was your name Anyway, he was a person no different from a scarecrow. If it hadn’t been for the incident, he would probably have retired after circumventing the outer frame of the story.

It was said that he was acting as the chief executive Edwin Paleid’s absence, but he also stood in front of Lynchia with a hesitant attitude, as if this position was extremely uncomfortable.

Raising one hand, the Vice-Chairman slowly recited the pledge.

“Does your Majesty solemnly swear to rule by law and custom the great subjects of the Empire, from Eisenwald in the north to Elvendel in the south?”

“I solemnly swear.”

Lynchia replied.

Several questions and answers were exchanged.

“Your Majesty, will you exercise your imperial power with the fairness of the law and the mercy of God?”

“I swear to do the same.”

After the last answer, a crown was placed over her head.

The transparent jewel in the center glistened in the light. A symbol of the Millennium Empire’s authority, a relic from the Age of Gods that proves Lyncia’s throne.

Lynchia, wearing a crown, slowly turned to the crowd. Everyone’s admiration poured out at that dignified figure.

This concludes the final procedure of the coronation ceremony.

Of course, this is not a real coronation. A simple, informal ceremony in a situation where Lynchia is not yet of age. It’s just an interlude in the first act.

The real coronation is two years later. It is the day when Lyncia has a coming-of-age ceremony and awakens the power engraved in her bloodline to become a true emperor.

yes. I’m talking about the epilogue of Raising the Empress. At that time, Lyncia will probably become an empress with great power.

I’ll have to overcome a lot of adversity before that.

mate.

Soon, applause broke out. I also put my palms together.

Those who gathered were very few people, including his aides, but loud applause rang silently in the huge cathedral.

“…”

Lyncia looked around with a confident attitude. And her gaze was fixed on someone.

“Well.”

I’m worried about something.

Lyncia stares at a certain point and gets up from her seat. Then he took a stride forward. As a result, the attendants who were helping out behind Lincia were startled and lost the veil they were holding.

There was a rustling, translucent cloth dragging on the floor. Everyone buzzes in bewilderment. However, he doesn’t seem to care at all.

When Lincia suddenly started to act unexpectedly, the crowd murmured and parted sideways.

Like the miracle of Moses, the empress walks leisurely among the people who have withdrawn. It was like watching a scene from history. There really was no such thing as a masterpiece.

I would like to enjoy it leisurely if I had the time, but I just couldn’t.

Why?

Because the Empress was walking straight towards me.

“Fried Iscobal.”

“your majesty.”

Lyncia quickly approaches me and crosses her arms.

I tried to get down on my knees to be polite, but then her small hand pulled the insignia from my shoulder. It was a small force, but I couldn’t stand up ignorantly when my master told me to stand up.

Crying and eating mustard to eye level. I saw her face with a mischievous smile.

Lynchia’s mouth opened slowly. Everyone waited for the words to come out of her mouth.

“I declare here and now. I will appoint Guardian Knight Fried Iscobal as the protector of the Empire.”

“Ah, hahahaha…”

And Lyncia’s comments were enough to become a bomb that would shake the imperial family for the next month.

“Whoa.”

Looking at the floating notification window, I sighed. It’s like you’ve finally cleared the first act.

“Has it happened somehow?”

Exactly a week has passed since the event where the conference hall was smashed to pieces.

A lot has changed in the meantime.

First of all, the news of the Church’s attack on the Holy Council of Elders was enough to bring a great shock to the imperial family and the people of the empire.

A hasty investigation was conducted by Imperial Intelligence. They hurriedly summoned the guards and thoroughly searched the capital and the imperial palace, thoroughly eliminating elements that could harm Lynthia’s safety.

In the game, the Empire came out five minutes before the end, and if you look at it like this, it was a little slow, but not incompetent.

Within a day of starting the investigation, Chief Edwin Paleid scraped several letters from the fireplace in his office containing evidence of collusion with the Church. The fact that the chief of the Senate Council, which should have been a strong pillar of the empire, tried to overthrow the imperial family was shocking.

All members of the committee were investigated as if they were being robbed, and those who cooperated with Edwin were shackled.

Edwin Paleread, the chief executive, was missing, so the intelligence department was working hard to track it down, but honestly, I didn’t think it would lead to good results.

Perhaps Edwin will never be caught. The notification window that Dead End was avoided was suggesting Edwin’s death. Maybe Arwen didn’t take care of it.

In addition to this, the betrayal of the torture wizard Rowan Cassiere also had a great impact.

They said that they interrogated all those who had wizard registration certificates in the empire, but the method was so radical that it caused a backlash from everyone.

It seems that it was the Capital Magic University that suffered the most in this process. I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. Edwin and Rowan, two wizards, made this mess, so it was a natural move.

A huge tsunami swept the empire like this for a week.

Senior officials were killed, injured, and captured again. The good news that the last princess, Lyncia Ayren, survived in the midst of such a feast of crisis became a ray of hope.

The last lineage of the imperial family that survived the attack of the church. No cabinet member objected to her ascension to the throne.

That’s how the coronation ceremony took place, albeit abbreviated, and after that it was a breeze.

“It’s a good ending, after all.”

yes. Despite the fact that the development went wrong because of me, it smoothly returned to its original trajectory. This is definitely a situation that should be welcomed.

But it was still complicated in my head.

The biggest reason, needless to say, is that empress smiling warmly right in front of me.

because… … .

“Freed?”

“Did you call?”

Although she clearly answered, Lynthia tilted her head.

“Freed.”

“Yes.”

“Freed?”

“Are you listening?”

“Freed!”

“Yes!”

After repeating the name several times, he smiles.

“The name Fried sounds nice, don’t you think?”

“I never thought of it that way.”

“Look. F-ri-de. Aren’t the lips cute when you pronounce ‘ri’?”

Saying that, Lyncia pursed her lips and extended them horizontally. The look is very cute.

Was Lyncia originally this kind of personality? I thought about it, but I couldn’t come up with an answer.

Instead, he raised his head and asked.

“So, Your Majesty, what the hell is this?”

“This is Fried’s bed. You can sleep here from now on. It’s simple, right?”

“That… I’m sorry to say that.”

“Then you don’t have to talk.”

I ignored it and continued talking.

“Isn’t that too close?”

I turned my gaze to the side. There was a bed with a huge silver-white canopy. A blanket embroidered with beautiful embroidery floats slightly in the air. I guess it’s a magic item.

That dazzling bed is where Lyncia sleeps.

And what’s less than ten steps away is my bed.

“If you’re a guardian knight, and if you’re a border guard, I think you should always be by your lord’s side.”

“Grunt.”

I scratched my cheek and looked at the space behind Lynchia’s back, which was improvised and put in at a glance. It looks like a cubicle toilet.

To think that there was such an abomination right next to the Empress’ bed.

Again, this monstrosity is my bed.

During the coronation ceremony, Lyncia, who had detonated a huge bombardment of appointing the crazy knight as a protector, called me to the sleeping quarters and invited me to stay here.

No, ordered.

I tried to refuse, but to no avail.

“Fried. You can’t leave me anymore. Abama, my brother, and Melina have left.”

“…”

“I don’t want to lose even Fried in a situation like that.”

Lyncia’s eyes were wet with melancholy. I watched the scene silently, then I raised my glass and quenched my dry mouth.

It’s trash to say it this way, but to reject it with all my heart.

Suddenly, I remembered what Lyncia had said to me while crying during the first act.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Did you say that now all you have left is me?

He lost his precious people, and all he was left with was a gloomy knight. No matter how bad the reputation of the knight was, it was natural to depend on it.

However, Lynchia’s attitude was closer to obsession than willpower. And there was a part of her behavior that I guessed.

“…”

I shook my head and murmured softly.

“Status.”

In Lynthia’s status window, which had not changed much, one word that glowed red was added.

‘Obsession’.

Her obsession probably originated here.

In the game, I used to receive a penalty for being too obsessed with a certain object or person, but the target was random. The target of her obsession now is most likely the closest Guardian Knight, Fried, and me.

fortunately At least Lyncia won’t hallucinate, periodically lose her memory, go on a rampage, or have seizures at the sight of blood.

Of course, it’s fortunately out of misfortune. No matter how obsessed you are, you can’t help but feel quite anxious.

It was clear that it would act as a bad factor for future stories.

If it was the original game, I would have retried right away, but this world was not a game. It was a terribly realistic and terrifying world. It was impossible to perform the save road new trick just because it was wrong.

“All right.”

“I knew it.”

eventually accepted

Then, Lynchia pulled my arm as if hugging me.

‘In the end, fate will converge for the fulfillment of the oath.’

Arwen’s last words seemed to echo in my head.

vehemently deny

Since I’m a border guard, I can’t help it.

For Lyncia, who is driven mentally, I have to be a support. It is desperately necessary to prevent the stress level from rising above this level.

Above all, I am not a black-out Freed, but a common sense modern person living in Korea.

so masturbated

“Freed.”

“Yes.”

“It’s a good tone, too.”

“……hahahaha.”

Saying so, he smiles brightly.

Her eyes looked at me slightly.

very slightly though.

It was scary.
