Chapter 892 – 892. God’s Atlantis
“It perished. Of course, there are exiles who have returned to their original world. But we are not outcasts. We are continental This world is our home, our world. And the end of this world is predetermined. There is only one way we can escape destruction. It is to receive the help of an angel.”
Finished.
The cause of the opponent is the world. Elena cannot reverse the current situation.
This is Elena’s defeat. Elena’s plan is over. Rather, she gave only a firm cause to the crown prince. Now, no one can stop the crown prince from becoming emperor.
“… Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is right. I think I was short-tempered.”
Elena tried to back off.
She didn’t say anything like attacking all the districts of Atlantis and asking for the salvation of the empire by making a deal with the gods in return. Even if they did, it was nothing more than a hopeful plan that was not specific compared to the angel’s salvation.
I thought of the cause of Elena’s failure.
That the emperor was on the side of the crown prince from the beginning,
Imperial Goku is not interested in this. Ugeomgong (愚劍公), Neuit Arpis, was recruited by Elena, but he had no chance to step forward. Neuth’s role as envisioned by Elena is to drive a wedge.
The Crown Prince and the Angelus Legion had already anticipated and prepared for Elena’s actions.
Lastly, the 2nd and 3rd princes were silenthehelped Elena and didn’t attack the static prince at all.
‘… The 2nd and 3rd princes betrayed me.’
The 2nd and 3rd princes must have made a deal. Elena moved, convinced that they were aiming for the throne. The 3rd prince, Gidin, is to the point of making his own play.
‘It’s different from the original. Why did the 2nd and 3rd princes give up their positions as emperors?’
Elena has failed anyway, and this will keep her quiet for a while.
“It looks like I hit the candles on the happy decade. I will return to my hometown and self-sufficiency.”
“Wait a moment, illusionist.”
The prince summoned Elena. A twisted smile forms on his lips.
“Illusionist. I came across some surprising information about you some time ago.”
“… What information?”
“It was information about your mother.”
Elena’s face contorted in an instant. She was shaken to the point where she couldn’t even control her expression, but more than anything else, her crown prince touched Elena’s wrath.
“I hear you committed an immoral act of killing your mother?”
“That….”
“Ah, excuse me. Just tell me if it’s true or not. It doesn’t matter if you make a lame excuse.”
“…… Yes. You’re right. I killed them.”
Said Elena. Her voice was harsh, perhaps because she spoke for a long time or because she was embarrassed by the prince’s attack.
The nobles around them murmured. Because of this, the honor of the Baldert family will be ruined.
“You may be wondering how I came across this information. Come forward.”
One of the nobles came out.
It was an old nobleman. His hair and beard were white and his wrinkles were tight. Looking at his hard eyes and angular mouth, you can guess that he is a kkondae among kkondae.
‘That old man….’
He was an old man from memory. He desperately rolled his head and found out that he was a vassal of the Baldert family. I’ve run into them a few times, but I don’t remember ever having a conversation with them.
“… Viscount Goldrex. Did you attend the prom too?”
“Belatedly, I was invited by His Highness the Crown Prince to participate in the ball. He was old enough to enjoy dancing, so he was quietly watching the situation in the corner.”
“…… What the hell did you do with His Highness the Crown Prince?”
“I just told what happened, what should be known, and the truth that should not disappear.”
“Weren’t you a vassal of Baldert?”
“I want to ask the reverse question. Lord. Am I a vassal of Baldert?”
“…….”
Elena stepped back from her. She had an attitude that couldn’t be seen as her confidence that she had until now. Elena broke out in a cold sweat. On the contrary, her lips were dry. Now she looked like a cornered human being.
“Viscount Goldrex. There may be people who don’t know you, so it wouldn’t hurt to introduce yourself first.”
The prince smiled and said. Her eyes twinkle as if watching a delightful play.
“I am Viscount Hyman Goldrex, who has served Duke Waldert for 70 years. I have been watching the history of Duke Baldert since before the family head was born.”
“What were you in charge of in the Waldert family?”
“I was in charge of the dirty work.”
“Is it dirty? What is it specifically?”
“Dealing with those who go against the family, taking advantage of the weak points of the Merchant, and so on. He also dealt with those who became Baldert’s enemies. Yes. Roughly 100 people lost their lives in my hands.”
“It’s literally dirty. But for now, I’ll figure that out later…. Tell me about the illusionist killing my mother.”
“The family lord murdered Duchess Baldert. It was a day when the sound of cicadas could be heard in a clear sky. On that day, the two voices heard in the garden resonated throughout the mansion. It was the day the head of the household and the duchess fought. Not only me, but everyone else in the mansion heard it.”
“How did the fantasy artisan kill the duchess?”
“It was a sword. Blood was splattered across the garden, and the cicadas were covered with the screams of the duchess.”
“Why? Why did the illusionist kill the duchess?”
Gold Rex stared at Elena for a moment before shaking her head.
“I can’t tell.”
“… Her. Are you doing that now? I’m a little out of breath. Ask for something else When did Duchess Baldert die?”
“That was when the head of the family just became the owner of the family… That was 12 years ago.”
“12 years ago. I heard then that the Duchess had died in an accident. But why is it different from what I know? Even if you keep your mouth shut, if there are many witnesses, isn’t it normal for rumors to spread?”
“I never knew about that until three weeks ago.”
“Hoo. Why did you do that?”
“I was caught in the illusion of the head of the household. His memory has been manipulated. If it wasn’t for Gabriel’s baptism, I would have lived with my memories manipulated forever.”
The nobles murmured and looked at Elena with fearful eyes. Elena couldn’t even argue, and she stood still.
“Did you cast a phantom spell on my vassal and get him to shut his mouth…. It’s scary, it’s scary Since when did you become a monster?”
The emperor groaned.
“Not only that. Your majesty.”
The number of princes did not end. He rode his momentum and exposed Elena’s irregularities. He called on Baldert’s other vassals. They confessed the crime Elena had committed. Fortunately, it was never said that Elena was an executive of her criminal organization, Helten.
A noble who died because of Elena’s instigation and the Baldert family’s gains from it. The prince did not stop exposing.
“Your majesty. Most serious of all… The illusionist hired someone to kill the 3rd prince, my younger brother Gidin.”
“… It is a word that cannot be easily uttered.”
“Your Majesty! No! I’ll admit everything else, but it has nothing to do with the assassination of the third prince!”
Elena rushed out. Anything else can be skipped. You can reward the living, or use your power to cover them later. However, he couldn’t just ignore the matters related to the imperial family.
The 3rd prince, who had been quiet, stepped forward.
“His Highness, the Crown Prince, is right. I was ambushed at a hunting contest. As a result of catching and interrogating the assailant, we found out that there is an illusionist behind it. Fantasy knights and authors also participated in the hunting competition.”
His gaze turned towards me. I never thought you would tie me up at once. It seems to have been very deliberate.
“Impossible… It’s a mothership, Your Majesty! It was the master of the A-Plan Legion that I sponsored who saved the prince from the attack!”
“Gidin. Is it true?”
“Yes. Your majesty. That statement is true, but I was attacked after that. The A-Plan Legion helped me must have been for deceit. Your majesty. Please do not forget that the assailant has already confessed to the culprit.”
“Your majesty! It’s a mothership!”
Elena shouted. She tried to move forward to her throne, but her emperor held up her hand to stop her.
“Looks like we need to verify more closely. Duke Baldert… Probate in the dungeon until the results come out.”
“Your majesty.”
A man with a stout physique, taller than 2m, stepped forward. It is the right swordsman, Neuth Arpis.
“No matter how it is, fantasy ball is Imperial Wukong. Putting them in a dungeon is too much. There are no definitive results yet. I will monitor her, so please guarantee her at least her freedom.”
“…… Woo Swordsman. This is not an ordinary job. It was an incident in which the imperial family was attacked.”
Said the emperor tremulously.
Seeing that everyone’s eyes were focused on the swordsmith and the emperor, I pursed my lips. Millennial Ball and Gabriel looked at me, but I ignored them and sent a telegram to Hollind Ronmacid, Ironsmith.
-Carise Del Felsman. The sleeping princess is in the Baldert family.
Hollind raised his eyes. He bit his lip and spoke directly to the emperor.
“Your Majesty the Emperor. We must not disregard the loyalty that the illusionist gave to the imperial family. Please guarantee a minimum of freedom.”
“Ironman. Are you even saying that….”
The emperor’s words deepened. With two of the Imperial Wukong stepping out, Elena won’t be locked up in the dungeon.
I didn’t stop there and sent an electric message to Gabriel.
– Ariel.
Just one word.
That was enough to get Gabriel moving.
“Your Majesty the Emperor. It is not good to make hasty judgments.”
“… Gabriel. Got it. Looking back, I think I did too much. However, the investigation into Duke Baldert will not stop.”
“Looking at you is a spectacle.”
A man’s voice was heard from above.
A man jumped from the third floor and landed on the first floor. He was a man in a navy coat. A sword was in his hand. He was a dirty man with his shiny hair.
“… It’s Banrei.”
The emperor said the man’s name.
Banray.
Master of the Barclays Legion Union.
“Emperor. I should have warned you. Don’t even think about joining hands with the Angelus Legion. As that woman said, the purpose of the Angelus Legion is not to save humans, but to manage them.”
“… Banray. Your position and ours are different. You are outcasts, we are Continents. Can’t help but be different Jim teamed up with the Angelus Legion to secure the future of the Empire. It’s nothing for you to talk about.”
“Is that so? But what about I am careful to keep the words I once uttered.”
Sword-wielding Banrei lunged at the emperor. Wu Swordsman moved at a speed invisible to my eyes and blocked the Emperor’s way. Banrei’s sword collides with Wu’s sword, creating a powerful shockwave. Ordinary people with no power could not overcome the shock wave and flew backwards and rolled on the floor.
“Elena!”
Elena’s body also flies backwards. I freaked out and grabbed her shoulder. Elena didn’t like her complexion very much. Her eyes are shaking, and her complexion is blue. Even if it is a corpse, the complexion is unbelievable.
Bang! Kwak Kwa Kwak! Bang!
Explosions were heard all over the ball. Dozens of armed men appeared and targeted the imperial family and nobles. Cheolhan-gong and Veterinarian, who had been watching, moved and dealt with the attackers. A roar is heard from outside. The system was under attack. The culprit is probably the Barclays Legion.
‘I already knew that the Angelus Legion and the Barclays Legion were enemies, but… I never thought Barclays Legion would move like this. As for the Emperor’s reaction… It’s already gone as bad as the original.’
First of all, it is urgent to get out of here.
Fortunately, the Barclays Legion didn’t target me and Elena. Looking at their movements, it seems that they have a separate target.
“You….”
Elena opened her mouth. She looked at me with her confused eyes.
“Why didn’t you betray me? Wasn’t now the right time?”
As the betrayal of the 2nd and 3rd princes and the betrayal of the retainers broke out one after another, it seemed that his mentality went out.
“Wake. I will not betray you.”
“Under…. Better give up now You know something quite important, so if you betray now, you will get what you want.”
…… Could it be?
Seriously feeling betrayed, I let out a sigh. How did you do it at a time like this? After rolling her head for a moment, I slapped her cheek with the palm of her hand.
Damn!
“Stop talking nonsense and get your head right, Elena.”
