Rebirth Just Before The 10th Circle

“I didn’t ask for anything excessive. Just…”

“what?!”

The Emperor looked at the Crown Prince with astonished eyes.

The prince’s words meant that the deal had already ended.

The astonished emperor asked hurriedly.

“What is it? What have you decided to give them through this work?!”

“I, it really doesn’t matter. Just . . . putting some of their people in the National Laboratory . . .”

“you you.”

The emperor’s face turned red.

He stiffened the back of his neck as he watched the bastard with an unconcerned face, not knowing what he had given him.

“Ugh…”

“Lung, Your Majesty!”

The Crown Prince rushed towards the staggering emperor.

But the emperor vehemently resisted the support of his children.

The emperor roared out loud.

“You idiot!”

“Yes···?”

“To destroy what my father had been protecting for so long with such a thing!”

“What is that….”

The Emperor looked at the Crown Prince with frustrated eyes.

It was the imperial family that controlled the Sirius project and the national laboratory, the institution that carried it out.

Numerous nobles have reached out to the Sirius business, but the Emperor has drawn a line that no nobleman can intervene.

“You idiot… how… how did you not understand?”

“·················ogue.”

“Did you think that Sirius was just trying to get away from international pressure?”

“then···.”

“Sirius is an imperial power before it is an imperial power! He was not only used to check other countries, but it was also a power to check the nobles who were aiming for the Hoshitamtam imperial family!”

“········································································?!”

The Crown Prince looked surprised at the confession of the emperor who had been struggling for Sirius for a long time.

“Hey, what is that…”

It was the first I had heard of it, and it was something I had never thought of before.

It was then that the Crown Prince realized why the Emperor arbitrarily conducted the Sirius business and ruled out all other nobles.

The emperor was planning to increase the power of the imperial family by looking ahead to the current imperial family as well as the next emperor and the next generation.

By the way···.

The Crown Prince himself had ruined the emperor’s plan.

Confused, the prince stuttered his words.

“Uh, how… how could you not tell me that?!”

“How long···.”

The emperor looked at his child with eyes filled with sorrow and anger.

“How long do I have to explain everything?”

“·················ogue.”

“Did I ask how did I favor the commoner boy? . . . that was it.”

“·················ogue.”

“Because he showed you what I wanted you to do! Why can’t you only see what’s right in front of you! Why not try to think more than that!”

“Ah···.”

“With that narrow view! How did you plan to run this great empire!”

“·················ogue.”

The prince bit his lip.

‘Is that so….’

Just as children usually draw the image of an ideal father, the emperor and his father also saw the image of an ideal child from a commoner boy.

The emperor looked at the prince with dismayed eyes.

“Did I want you too much?”

“···no.”

“You ruined everything.”

That was 30 years ago.

The power of aristocrats is gaining strength day by day and the power of the imperial family is shrinking.

The emperor, who grew up watching it, dreamed of becoming a powerful emperor.

No, he wanted the imperial family to have at least a power equal to that of the nobility.

The work he had been looking for for a long time only recently came into sight…

The mistake of a poorly taught child made his long efforts futile.

‘Sigh···.’

If the dukes continue to plant their people in the National Laboratory, the Sirius project will run into trouble.

Sirius, which is now near completion.

My head was already pounding as the nobles, too, were trying to steal the stake on the Sirius.

‘What do you mean by this…’

It took the Crown Prince to keep it as it is.

Because the Crown Prince made a promise under his name, the dukes moved the inspection department.

No matter how much the transaction was made under the water, if the prince ignores the words of the prince, the nobles will use this as an excuse to bite the imperial family.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

‘From now on, they will demean the imperial family by saying that they can’t be trusted in the words of the Crown Prince.’

Each word of the royal family had to contain trust and strength.

By the way, if the emperor himself ignores this, he will not trust even the nobles.

“Whoa…”

The emperor sighed heavily.

‘Isn’t it unavoidable…’

If the Crown Prince’s mistake was exposed like this, it would also provide a good excuse for the nobles.

Then there was only one way.

The prince’s mistake had to be replaced by a non-mistake.

‘Should I cover it…’

It must be pretended that it was the will of the imperial family, not his own arbitrariness, that the Crown Prince captured the chief researcher named Merlin.

Furthermore, this situation had to be used to the advantage of the imperial family.

‘In a way, I don’t know if it was a good thing that I caught that child and not someone else.’

The Emperor remembered Merlin slaying Earl Powells at the imperial banquet.

Earl Powells was quite influential in the dukes.

His relationship with the peasant faction had been twisted by his stamping out.

Originally, I had no intention of improving this, but…

‘Taking him in is a reconciliation with him.’

The capture of Merlin had to be wrapped up in reconciliation to the peasants.

He had to turn the prince’s mistake into an intended plan, taking advantage of it to the fullest.

The emperor, who had a rough calculation, said in a cool voice.

“You should know fortunately that you don’t have another brother.”

“·················ogue.”

The emperor’s warning that the throne would not have been yours if you had a brother chilled his spine.

“Go back and sleep. You must not leave the palace without my permission.”

“···Okay.”

“Also, I’m going to stop sending the kid who dimmed your gun.”

“Lung, Your Majesty!”

“Shut up!”

When the emperor said that he would let Vivian go, the Crown Prince shouted in surprise.

But he had to shut his mouth at the emperor’s cold gaze.

“No more testing my patience. At least I want to preserve the place you were given.”

“·················ogue.”

“This is the last time. This is really the last time. If you make me angry any more than this… I will crush you even with my own adoption.”

“········································································?!”

“Go back. I don’t even want to see you.”

“Oh, I see.”

At the emperor’s lively warning, the Crown Prince bowed his head tightly and withdrew.

Nowhere in his appearance did he see the spirit of the person who should become the next great emperor.

There was bitterness in the eyes of the emperor who had gone away from anger.

“Huh… it’s all my fault.”

He loved the widowed empress so much that he took care of his only child.

He tried to rectify his increasingly selfish son, but it was already too late.

“Haha… that’s a shame. He was a child who would become the equivalent of the empire.”

The Emperor remembered Merlin who was overflowing with guns.

A child I liked so much that I wished that he was the Crown Prince.

But he was now a child he would never see again.

“I can’t help it.”

Before he was the emperor of the Han Empire, he was also a father.

No matter how ugly a child was, his arms were bent towards his own rather than someone else’s.

So the Emperor decided to erase Merlin from his memory.

***

Merlin was dragged out of nowhere and imprisoned in a dungeon.

Merlin exclaimed in disbelief.

“Hey, aren’t you doing any research on this? What’s the point of going to jail?”

However, despite his cry, his men left the prison without answering anything.

Looking at the back of their heads, Merlin was worried.

‘Did any evidence come out?’

No matter how much I think about it, in order to get things done this quickly, there must have been solid evidence.

“What is this… there is no one to explain.”

Merlin flopped on the floor of the prison, scratching the back of her head.

“Shall we wait for a while?”

When you go out, even if you leave, shouldn’t you be aware of what’s going on?

Merlin, having come to such a conclusion, lay down comfortably as if the prison was his bedroom.

How much time has passed like that?

rattle-

The entrance to the prison was wide open.

“Hey, Merlin!”

It was none other than the deputy chief who entered through the open door.

He ran back and grabbed the iron bars of the prison.

“Gosh! How much… have you suffered?”

Merlin appeared suddenly and she tilted her head as she saw the deputy director concerned about her.

‘What?’

If he really caught stealing mana stones, then the vice-director wouldn’t have to worry about him.

I trusted you again, but I had to criticize you for hitting me in the back like this.

Merlin nodded her head softly, looking at her worried deputy chief.

With him she watched the deputy chief carefully.

“What happened?”

An implied question.

To his question, the deputy superintendent answered with sharp teeth.

wow-

“The filthy peacocks have been tricked.”

“···Yeah?”

I didn’t understand the English language, so when I asked, an angry voice came back.

“A few days ago, the Inspection Department suddenly attacked and scraped the books, saying there was a whistleblower. And they put pressure on the mana stones as an excuse.”

“uh?”

“Who in the lab doesn’t know that the mana stone dissipation happened on the day of that mysterious attack? But the problem is that the whistleblower who will tear you apart has pointed you to the charge of embezzling mana stones.”

“Who is that whistleblower?”

“I do not know. Even the Inspection Department does not inform us in the name of protecting whistleblowers.”

At the news delivered by the deputy director, Merlin was once again upset.

‘Uh… so. Didn’t you hear me?’

He was a little overjoyed that his perfect crime had not been uncovered.

But Merlin’s bright expression quickly hardened.

An important fact he had forgotten came to mind.

“Wait a minute… so the sound is…”

“Huh?”

“Are you saying that I was framed?”

Although it was a frame that didn’t look like a frame, it was enough from Merlin’s point of view.

The deputy chief nodded his head with a mournful expression at his question.

“That’s how it happened. Don’t worry too much though. My brother and I are trying to get you out somehow, so you will be released soon.”

“·················ogue.”

Merlin didn’t say anything to the deputy chief’s comfort.
