I Became the Father of a Degenerate Emperor

Episode 51. Maybe this is the battlefield (2)

An office with a terrible sense of silence.

Esteel, Silene, and the Duke of Shade.

Since none of them spoke first, it seemed necessary to break the suffocating silence.

“But what about the empress?”

At that moment, Estill’s face slightly frowned.

It was released right away, but I guess I made a mistake.

Estill slowly turns her head and looks at me.

“Have I come to a place where I, your woman, cannot come?”

An expressionless face and a gentle voice. He was obviously angry.

“I didn’t mean that, I just asked if there was something else important.”

“There are many important things. First of all, His Majesty’s going to the Aegis seems to be the most important thing. Are you sure you want to go to that dangerous place? Even though she almost died in the Duchy of Bios.”

Perhaps she not only heard the details of Bios’ affairs from Duke Bright, but also seemed to have heard all the conversation she had with the chancellor just before.

A sharp gaze hidden in a calm voice. I have a strange feeling of deja vu.

“For the sake of the empire, I must go myself.”

Yes. This was obviously a situation similar to when he said he would go to Florente.

Ethil continued her words with her spleen face as if she had already made up her mind.

“Then I will follow.”

She knew this.

After saying that, Estill glared at Silene.

However, I doubted my eyes and ears at Silene’s provocative behavior.

“Hey!”

She snorted and turned her head away.

How dare you treat the empress of the empire with such disrespect?

This was a situation where it would not be strange to be punished beyond being bold.

But that didn’t mean they could be punished.

Because she is not Kratus’ people.

Moreover, she was a symbol of reconciliation between the Kratus Empire and the Elven Kingdom.

Estill looked away without saying anything to see if he understood the situation.

But it was difficult for me to stay still because I was uncomfortable.

“Sylene.”

“Please tell me.”

She looks at me with a soft smile as if a warm spring breeze is blowing.

The temperature difference between their attitude towards Estill was obvious.

“You are a symbol of unity between the human and elven races. So, do not act recklessly and incite conflict between the two races. Also, as the emperor’s escort knight, you must be polite to the empress.”

Sylene bowed her head with a slightly unfair expression and replied politely.

“I will.”

My voice was very humid and even trembled a little, so I even thought that maybe I was being too harsh.

Then, feeling a warm gaze, I turned her head to find Estill staring at me.

Doubt and questioning that overshadowed restraint.

That kind of look in his eyes.

The kind of expression that asks me to explain why the elf who hates humans is acting so docile to me.

But I’m not sure either.

Why is Silene doing this to me?

*

In fact, she was in a situation where even Sylene did not understand herself well.

‘Why am I like this?’

She has already lived for over 100 years.

Besides, she was a celibate to the core.

It was because the elf males were all snarky, just like herbivores, and didn’t feel attractive at all.

However, whenever I thought of the emperor, my heart kept pounding and I couldn’t control my excitement.

‘I am more attractive because I am ugly, is that so?’

I don’t know what it would be like by human standards, but by elves’ standards, Kratus IV belonged to the ugly axis.

That’s why I couldn’t understand it even more.

‘Why am I so fond of the emperor?’

If I had to look for a reason, it would be the only secret.

The first time I saw the emperor in her mother’s blue hands.

The moment she was handed her secret palace, the strong feeling she had for the emperor was intensely transmitted to her mind and deep in her heart.

In her lonely heart, which had been alone for more than 100 years, her dazzling sun shone down and at the same time a fierce storm raged.

It must have been since then. What made a big change in her mind.

As time went by, the feeling grew clearer and stronger, like pouring oil on a roaring firewood.

So I forced myself to hand over the saintess’s orchid to the emperor. That’s four songs. Even without anyone knowing.

‘I was crazy.’

To give a saint’s orchid, which is absolutely necessary to save his people, to a human, and to Kratus, of course.

No matter how likable it was, it wasn’t really.

But.

The fact that the emperor was suffering from a terrible poison called paradigm made me feel so painful.

Of course, even that kind of feeling must have been cherished by Bigung, but at that moment, it felt like her feelings.

That’s why he betrayed his country without hesitation, and was in danger of being caught and taken to the Elven Kingdom.

Since he was in the position of commanding all the elves hiding in the imperial capital, it was obvious that a more severe punishment would be imposed.

It seemed like it would rot for quite some time in the prison at the root of the world tree.

Nevertheless, imagining the emperor detoxifying the demon poison made me smile.

So I was leaving the capital in a happy mood, even though I was about to be arrested by the prince.

But suddenly, the call came again.

– Silene, the punishment for you has been changed.

The new punishment was so unbelievable that I wondered if it was a punishment.

However, from now on, you are to remain only as an escort knight for the emperor.

Calling with the wind spirit is something any elf can do. Silene immediately asked the prince why.

– Why are you doing this?

Initium seemed to have noticed his heart.

– Why? Isn’t that what you really want? With this you owe me a debt. In the future, when you become the head of the Nymphas, I hope you will support my remarks.

Nympha was a blood relative blessed by the water, and Silene was the closest elf to the next chief.

Initium was a prince rumored to be smart in the elven kingdom. So it seemed clear that he had noticed his feelings just by stealing the saintess’s orchid.

– All right, poor Prince. Nympha will always support you in the future.

The emperor’s escort knight.

Sylene was so happy that she was about to fly.

In that case, wouldn’t it be possible to see the emperor by his side at all times from now on?

Of course it was a bit confusing.

Is this really your own feeling or is it a feeling passed down from the secret palace?

Even so, he can’t control his joy, so he has no choice but to regard it as his own emotion.

So he came to the imperial palace, but there was a problem.

That means that the empress named Estill disapproves of her.

It made me feel very bad to stare at her whenever she caught my eye.

Of course, I was familiar with the possessive desire of humans.

‘That means I don’t want my things taken away even for a moment. They just won’t let me even look at them.’

However, the blatant hostility was so ridiculous that it looked like a female cat in heat.

There was absolutely nothing urgent about Sylene.

Her escort knights will spend much more time with the emperor than the empress.

‘Even if you twist slowly, I will win in the end.’

Nevertheless, he did not like the original human and his temper was unusually aggressive, so it was difficult to contain his anger.

‘Sometimes, when no one is around, just try to catch it properly. I’ll give you a bowl of porridge with the empress.’

In fact, even in front of her office, I was sweating to hold back my anger.

As an escort driver, she herself keeps her eyes open, so why does she bother to eavesdrop on the sound from the front door and inside?

It was clearly an act of ignoring oneself.

However, the emperor and prime minister were in the office, and the knights of the imperial knights were burning in the hallway.

So she had no choice but to hold back her anger.

But the moment the emperor called her, she even cut in line with her status as empress.

It was unpleasant inside, so after sitting down, the empress’ blatant hostility made her snort without even realizing it.

Then, the moment he heard the emperor’s warning, it was difficult to manage his expression because he felt unfair.

‘Why am I really like this? Why are you trying to shed tears over something like this?’

She was a woman who couldn’t understand herself like that.

Suddenly, I saw a woman named Duke Shade.

‘What is this black thing?’

However, the gaze of this duke looking at the emperor seemed unusual.

Estill, the empress, was also glancing at Duke Shade with her uneasy eyes.

‘What is this…… Could it be that this woman also likes the emperor?’

*

Duke Shade was in a very bad mood right now.

I thought only the emperor would be in the office, but that’s why my expectations were shattered.

But she deliberately smiled brighter and hid her disappointment.

Even so, the moment I saw Silene’s face, I couldn’t hide the hardened expression.

‘I’d die with just the empress, but now I’m an elf?’

Shiny blue hair and emerald eyes.

Her skin even glowed with a soft light, and she had such a beauty that humans could never touch.

In addition, isn’t it that the eyes looking at the emperor contain a lot of emotions?

Duke Shade felt sick to his stomach.

Now, it was no longer a position to really choose between fire and fire.

‘If you keep going like this, you’ll just notice and not be able to do anything. I have to move more aggressively before even the crumbs of His Majesty’s heart are taken away.’

Duke Shade clenched his fists.
