There Was a Porter Who Would One Day Be Called a Prophet

25 – Who Moved My Cheese

“This is Romer, the capital of the empire…”

As if it was not called an empire for nothing, the walls were so high that it was impossible to see at a glance.

‘Looking at it in real life, it’s really no joke…’

It was implemented in a big way in the game, but it came much bigger when it became a reality.

“Porter. If you open your mouth like that here, you’re called a country boy. Shut up.”

At that, I quickly shut my mouth.

‘I have to live here from now on, but first impressions are important.’

At that time, I was thinking of the geomancy of the empire, envisioning a peaceful future.

“Mr. Porter.”

“Yes? Do you have anything else to say?”

“I have something to tell you before I have an audience with Your Majesty.”

Now I saw the serious face of the warrior I hadn’t seen in a long time.

‘Why is the poker face all of a sudden…’

Although he was a hero who had become mellow recently, it was still difficult to deal with because he had a hardened expression.

“Your ability… Will you report it to His Majesty?”

“Yes? Isn’t that obvious?”

‘No matter how hard it is, isn’t it a bit like hiding it from the emperor?’

The emperor in the game was not a villain, even though he valued efficiency.

The hero hesitated and finally opened his mouth.

“Actually, as a result of our discussions. We have come to a consensus not to report it if you do not want to.”

I was a bit hurt that he talked about it without me, but I was moved by the fact that he did it because he thought of me, not because he was talking behind my back.

‘Still, is there anything good to hide from the emperor? When I think about when I was caught later, it seems rather like a handshake.

That moment when I was so worried. A flashing thought flashed in my mind.

‘If you fall in the emperor’s eyes, aren’t you treated as an aide? Even if it’s just a stab at an upcoming disaster or the timing of a monster’s invasion, I think I’ll be able to use my right arm.’

My brain was already filled with images of myself serving as a house guard in a mansion built in a sunny location with the trust of the emperor on my back.

‘I’ve lived only with the bitter taste, but let’s try the upper class royal people.’

“Thank you for thinking of me, but I have no intention of hiding it.”

“But Your Majesty is not the kind of person who will let your power go unnoticed. Didn’t you say you didn’t want to live a life of being used?”

“Hero.”

“I’m listening.”

“What kind of person do you think your Majesty is?”

“Yes? That’s…”

“From what I’ve heard, he’s fair and takes the lead before anyone else when it comes to the future of the empire… Is that right?”

“There’s nothing wrong with that. Just…”

“Just?”

“In other words, he will do anything for the future of the Empire.”

‘That’s right, wouldn’t it depend on how I wear it?’

“That’s it. It’s not about personal greed, it’s about national interest, so we should cooperate to that extent.”

After hearing my words, the warrior’s expression changed strangely.

“That’s embarrassing. To hear such a thing come out of your mouth…”

What the hell were you thinking of me?

“If that’s what you mean, I’ll be there to support you.”

There’s nothing to be afraid of with the judge

Royal People

“Please promise me this one instead.”

“What is it?”

“Never say anything until Your Majesty asks. I will answer most questions, so please just stay still.”

Warrior, am I not trustworthy?

But the eyes looking at me were really desperate, so I decided to follow the warrior’s words countless times.

“Then shall we go?”

***

The warrior party with the token was invincible.

Wherever I went, I was able to reach the imperial palace in an instant with the exhilaration of opening it like a high pass.

“Whoa.”

‘Beyond this door, there is an absolute power that controls my life.’

The moment he fumbled to find Cheong Shim-hwan, who was not in a more nervous situation than an interview at a large company.

-Kyum.

Huh?

Pure energy flowed into your body as if you were in the middle of a forest with good air.

“Kyumdol. Are you like this?”

– Kwy!

I also like jjasik

Thanks to that, the tremors in my body subsided and I felt like I could do anything now.

‘Royal People, is that a big deal? All I have to do is seduce the emperor.’

Considering that the Emperor’s crush was also small, it really felt like it wasn’t a big deal.

“Are you ready?”

“Yes. No problem.”

When the hero approached the gatekeeper and asked for an audience with His Majesty, after a while, permission was granted from the inside.

“Stop by.”

With those words, the massive door opened without a sound, and the scenery of the audience room came into view.

There were about 10 entourages and a similar number of escorts, and my target was among them.

Emperor of the Arachnen Empire.

Chaas di Ventus Arachnen.

-Gulp

He had such charisma that I wouldn’t have known where to put my eyes if it hadn’t been for Kyudol.

I calmly followed the party members and approached the emperor.

– Chuck

When the hero bowed and knelt down, he quickly followed suit.

?

What are you?

Feeling strange, I rolled my eyes to the side to check. The other three were standing proudly.

‘What is it? Isn’t it before the emperor? Why are you guys so stiff when the leader, the warrior, kneels?’

I was confused, but since no one said anything, I decided to stay still.

“According to His Majesty’s orders, I returned after completing all of my missions in the east.”

“You’ve all worked hard. I’m sorry to call you right after your hard work.”

“Never mind. We just did what we had to do and came back.”

“Yes. This must have been your first time leaving the Empire for so long. How do you feel about your first journey?”

“Thanks to Your Majesty’s benevolence, most of the people have been able to enjoy a safe life, but danger still lurks out of reach of the Empire.”

“Go ahead.”

“Most of all, the number of monsters has noticeably increased.”

“It’s a monster.”

“What do you think? Do you think it could be a threat to the Empire?”

“I think… It is.”

“I see.”

The emperor thought for a moment with his eyes closed, then opened his mouth.

“Do you have the confidence to fight and defeat the monsters?”

“I don’t need anything like myself. To me, cutting means defending the empire.”

At the warrior’s answer, the emperor’s face briefly passed by.

“I heard you well. This is enough for the report, so let’s ask Jim this time.”

The emperor’s gaze turned to me.

“Who is the dark-haired man over there?”

He was sitting on the throne and just observing without moving. It’s like looking at prey caught in a spider’s web.

‘Why are you looking at me like that? It’s scary..’

“This is a new companion we recruited on this journey.”

“A colleague?”

The emperor’s eyes narrowed as he looked at me.

“Thanks to his help, we were able to keep two villages unscathed.”

“Contrary to what it looks like, you seem quite talented.”

I thought you wouldn’t be the emperor

Do you judge people by their appearance too?

“Yes. Let’s listen to what kind of trick it is.”

“Mr. Porter.”

The hero turned to me and nodded his head.

“Your Majesty.”

‘My life in the Empire is at stake on this one word.’

“I have the ability to see the future.”

As soon as I finished my words, a suffocating silence came.

“..Is it true that you said you can see the future now? Are you sure Jim heard that?”

It was the emperor who broke the silence.

‘This is as expected.’

“Yes, it is.”

“I see..”

As before, the emperor closed his eyes and lost himself in thought.

“Khehehehe…”

‘Huh?’

“hahahaha!”

Suddenly laughing like crazy, not only me and other party members, but even the servants around me started to stir.

Did this work?

Are you the Royal People?

The Emperor laughed for a long time, then finally stopped laughing and opened his mouth.

“The future? It’s the future. That’s a masterpiece. It’s to the point that even Jim wants to see it.”

Isn’t it true that all human psychology is like that?

Ah, I’m not showing this to anyone.

“You are truly an unusual person.”

“I don’t know what to do because you looked at me like that..”

I was happily thinking about what color to paint the mansion.

“Seeing how he scorned Jim, the Emperor of the Empire, without fear.”

“..Yes?”

The answer was so unexpected that a stupid sound came out of my mouth.

“A baby rat has entered the imperial palace.”

In a situation where everyone couldn’t say a word, the warrior was the first to come to his senses.

“It’s true, Your Majesty! If anything, prove it in front of the holy sword..!”

“Durandal.”

A different atmosphere from before invaded the audience room.

Everyone present froze at the emperor’s sudden change of attitude, and it was no different from the warriors.

“Hero of the Empire.”

As if the laughter from earlier was a lie. The appearance of the emperor in front of him reminded me of a spider ready to ram its fangs at any moment.

“Your eyes are very blurry.”

“No, Your Majesty! I really…”

“Your new ally would still take sides after mocking Jim to his face?”

“There’s no way I could go against your Majesty!”

“Maybe. Who knows, he might have other feelings for him.”

“Your Majesty…?”

“I’m asking if you have a crush on that man.”

“…”

A warrior who hardens at the words of the emperor.

“Do it in moderation, Emperor.”

Polaris stepped out from the side, not hiding his anger.

“You are the one chosen by the Goddess. Try to speak.”

No, what is this?

What if you are a saint?

“Oops. Jim made a mistake.”

But the emperor was not pushed back either.

“To say that in front of the leader of the Goddess Church, you are revealing your sodomy to the hero chosen by the Goddess. Jim must have lost his mind for a moment. I apologize.”

Contrary to her words, the sarcastic attitude made the saintess’s trembling grow stronger.

Oh, that’s eye-opening

“Sacred…”

“Hero..!”

Just when a war between nations and religions was about to break out, a hero came forward and stopped her saintess.

He must have been shocked himself, but he seems to be trying to keep his loyalty until the end.

Looking at the party members like that, my mouth moved by itself.

“Your Majesty. May I dare to say something?”

“I’ll take care of it, so stay still for now!”

“Jim, the Emperor, permits it.”

“Your Majesty!”

Until just now, the emperor seemed capable of killing people with just his eyes, but he was no longer afraid.

I stood up, looked the emperor straight in the eyes, and opened my mouth.

“If it’s us or the empire, everything else will be ruined. I’m really curious what you believe in.”
