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

32 – I moved it

“Insulting party members. Please apologize in front of everyone.”

When I asked for an apology, the Emperor’s eyes narrowed.

“Did you just say apology?”

That’s not a very good response either.

But since I said what I wanted to say, I have no regrets. Actually, the mansion still flickers before my eyes.

After a while. The emperor who shakes his body and shows an unexpected appearance.

“hahahahaha!”

I started to laugh heartily at what was so funny about my remark asking for an apology.

Is it because he likes it, or is it a mocking mockery? The emperor finally opened his mouth after laughing.

“I apologized after thinking about something for so long? It’s fun. It’s fun.”

‘Have you properly sniped the favorability option? ‘I’d rather choose a colleague than wealth. I saw you again.’ Like this?

I can’t see it, but isn’t there a number like +40 next to it?’

I was excited about what I would say next at the reaction that raised my expectations.

“Did you really want to see the emperor bow down to them?”

It was a -, not a +.

I feel like I’m going to lose my mind at the way I ride a roller coaster without rest.

“You’re bold, you’re bold. You can’t see anything.”

The emperor, who had been choosing his words for a while, asked with his eyes shining.

“Yes. What does the Empire look like with those eyes that can’t see?”

The emperor is still waiting for an answer, looking at me with eyes that don’t know what’s inside.

It seems a bit out of place, but here we have no choice but to regain the initiative by mentioning that we saved Arya.

“I felt something while saving the crown prince this time.”

“What is that?”

‘Write. What do we do? Do I need to launch an empire here? Or, like last time, should I make them realize that the Empire is not that good?’

But since I’ve come this far, I decided to go after everything I had to say, so I chose the latter.

“Empire is also a place where people live.”

“..Tell me more.”

“Seeing that the prince’s entourage also fell into temptation and turned away, I felt that the imperial palace was no different.”

Then the corners of the emperor’s mouth went up, albeit slightly.

Don’t be fooled, you old poisonous spider.

This time, I’m going to say something again to make people feel better.

“I see. If you think so, the conversation will be quick.”

What’s faster?

Another ‘three days.’ Isn’t that what it is?

“I’ll ask Jim one thing. What do you think if there’s cheese in front of the rat?”

Hearing that question, I felt a sense of déjà vu.

‘A rat? Where did I hear that…’

Thinking about it, I’m sure I’ve brought up that topic before.

-Something like a rat has entered the imperial palace.

‘That’s right. The first time I saw you, you said that. ‘

I don’t know why I’m saying that right now out of the blue, but I couldn’t keep the emperor waiting in front of me any longer, so I answered whatever came to mind.

“..Of course the rat won’t take it and eat it?”

Then the emperor with a bitter face caught my eye.

“Empire is also a place where people live. Where people live, rats will live. And as you said, this imperial palace is no different.”

I felt a sense of incongruity when he himself came forward and disparaged the empire.

‘This man can’t be…’

“..The rats you mentioned… Do you mean renegades?”

“It could be a renegade, or it could be a person blinded by profit.”

With those words, the emperor began to reveal his hidden intentions.

“All Jim could do was make the rat believe it was a stone before realizing it was cheese. Otherwise the rat would have taken the cheese and gnawed it away.”

Now I understand. If that’s what the emperor meant by the rat…

“..Cheese means me..”

As if the answer was correct, the emperor’s face showed satisfaction.

“The Empire may look trustworthy in your eyes, but even here there are people who can’t be trusted. It’s the biggest headache to sort them out. But how can you not deny that you say you see the future in a place where such people might be? Will there be?”

The words that came out of the emperor’s mouth made me dizzy.

“You’ll need to hide your ability from now on.”

‘Is this the emperor’s jjambab?

“I was so surprised when that Durandal kid tried to take out the holy sword. I was in a hurry and said something bitter.”

Is that why Arya intervened when I said it was true? Somehow it felt similar.

‘Wait. Then what did you drink for three days?’

“Then the death penalty is…”

“I have something to say about that.”

Me?

Emperor showing a warm appearance, giving up even the title Jim. He was a little closer to the neighborhood man now.

“I was just going to put you in jail for a few days. Didn’t you say something so arrogant in front of me?”

“…”

“I couldn’t let go because there were so many eyes on me. That’s why they gave me three days to tell me to run away… Do you know how upset I was when I heard the news that I was living comfortably in the dorm on the day of the sentence?”

This was also my karma.

“After reading the report, I got a rough idea. You definitely did a great job.”

I thought it was a compliment for a while, but I raised my head, and then my head went down again at the words that seemed to scold an immature child that flew by.

“I understand why you came out like that in front of me. I can’t say I wasn’t like that when I was younger.”

Now that I know that it was because of me from the beginning. Now I had nothing to say even with ten mouths.

“Her success after success can lead to self-confidence. But remember that is the most dangerous moment.”

“..I’ll keep that in mind.”

“I hope this has been a lesson for you.”

As expected, the emperor I knew was right.

“But contrary to my expectations, you saved Arya during that time and appeared in front of me again like this. The Empire owes a lot to you.”

The emperor suddenly got up from his seat and bowed to me.

“Arya was left behind by her wife who passed away. She is my most precious treasure. She is both emperor and father. I am very grateful to her.”

Bewildered by the sight of the Emperor of the Empire bending over on his thigh, my body stood up on its own.

“Your Majesty! Don’t do this! If the Emperor of the Empire does this, I’m in trouble!”

At my dissuade, the emperor straightened his back and responded naturally.

“You and I are the only two here. Never mind.”

This time, there was an emperor, no, a man who reversed the brake and stepped on the full accelerator.

I can’t respond to the completely changed appearance. It was easier to deal with when I was the emperor.

Facing the emperor’s true face, I was overcome with a sense of dejection and self-doubt.

‘What am I…’

To think that I, who knew what would happen next, moved on the board laid out by the emperor from beginning to end…

‘This man is really not normal..’

Considering that there was no point in further exploration, I sat down comfortably and asked.

“Well then, what about the apology…?”

“Isn’t that obvious? I’ve shown that to important people in the Mage Tower, Seongguk, and elves, so I need to clear up the misunderstanding.”

‘If that was the case in the first place, I’d ask for a mansion…’

Is it because my thoughts are revealed on my face? The emperor said to me with a funny expression.

“It’s written all over your face. Say anything. I’ll listen.”

“Then… I would like to receive a large mansion built in a well-lit area… Is that possible…?”

“Ha ha ha ha!”

Where is the charismatic emperor who cut his hands and took down the crown prince just a moment ago? The sense of disparity that came from there was no joke.

“There he asked for an apology, so I thought he was not greedy. Yes. A man should be that greedy. To me, the emperor, that’s not even work.”

This is it.

‘Seniors. I finally succeeded in getting my own home. Are you watching?’

After all kinds of hardships, he settled down in the Empire. I couldn’t contain my joy at the thought that from now on I would be able to live with a trembling voice without sticking out my neck in dangerous places.

While thinking that, I remembered that the emperor was the only one who did not mention one person.

“Your Majesty. Shouldn’t you apologize to the hero as well?”

“You mean Durandal…”

When the story of the hero came out, the emperor suddenly lowered his tension.

What is it? Why are you doing that all of a sudden?

Did I touch something wrong?

“Yes. I should apologize to that child..”

The emperor, who suddenly lost his voice, asked me.

“How well do you know him?”

Uh.. I know about everything..

“..How much can I say?”

“Looks like you already noticed.”

At some point, his eyes were filled with pensive thoughts.

“About the kid hiding his gender.”

The fact that the hero dresses as a man was only mentioned in the game and passed by. Even after looking at the ending, the proper reason did not come out.

‘Are you trying to tell a hidden story about it…’

“Can you tell me about that…? You seem to be hiding it pretty hard…”

“I’m saying this because I don’t think you would go around saying this. I’m a human before I’m an emperor. You might want to complain to someone.”

The Emperor, who revealed his own weakness that he had never seen before, struggled to keep his mouth shut.

“That child has committed too great a sin. The entire Empire, including me…”
