54. Day 2 of the Imperial Party
Day 2 of the Imperial Party.
I went straight to Frances room.
“You prepare early in the morning.”
“Because today, unlike yesterday, we start early.”
“Isn’t it starting late in the evening like yesterday?”
“The second day of the imperial party is a little different.”
In the game, I just had to enter the quest area, so I didn’t know much about the time. Frances kindly explained to me the schedule for the second day of the imperial party.
As the emperor and empress directly participate, all nobles who want to have some influence in the empire participate, and it seems that they start early because there are guests from other countries. Until the emperor enters, the prince must lead the party.
‘It’s different because it’s a great power.’
From noble mtl dot com
The fact that elites dispatched from each country are gathering to meet the emperor and empress once, doesn’t that mean they’re trying to get some soybean paste?
“The influence of the Empire is certainly strong.”
Frances laughed and nodded.
“It has to be. It is not enough to have the largest territory on the continent, because there are many resources and the quality of the land itself is good.”
The conditions for becoming a great power are perfect. The population is growing naturally, and talented people are pouring out of that population. In a word, it’s called Fantasy America.
‘Then how good is the Warenberg next to you?’
If I have to go to the library or history center later, I’ll look into it. Still, since I’m a member of the royal family, it’s okay if I can’t answer something like this.
Well, this is something we’ll look into later, so let’s move on.
“Princess. There is something I want to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“About the party schedule.”
“Ah, are you curious about the standard for entering late?”
It’s good that you speak so fast.
“That’s right. We have to go earlier than His Majesty’s entrance time.”
“Hmm. Wait. I will think about it.”
France was lost in thought. He seems to be making calculations based on his experience so far.
“It starts at noon, so I think I can go in about an hour. His Majesty usually doesn’t come back until two hours later.”
Um. Then it’s ok No matter how much the main character is, you must not enter later than the emperor or empress. It’s against basic etiquette…….
“Good. It takes about 30 minutes to get to the party from here, right?”
“Yes. Originally, it would go faster, but as many nobles gather, the carriage will be blocked.”
Then I’ll have to give it more time.
“Okay, then let’s leave around one o’clock.”
“Yes, I will.”
Frances took a moment to look out of his window. It’s a bit unfortunate to waste this time.
“Princess, how are your recent magic achievements going?”
“Magic? I’m just doing what Kazar told me to do.”
“How much magic can you use?”
“Um… ….”
France looked up at the ceiling and was lost in thought. She narrowed her eyes a bit, then opened her mouth quickly.
“Basic telekinesis, dark magic to block eyesight, and curse magic that slows down the opponent’s movement?”
Ah, Frances! He said.
“It is also possible to absorb the mana flowing around and the life force of the opponent.”
Oh, have you grown to that level already? Is it still brutal?
‘If you grow up without any problems… ….’
The ability of pouring curses will increase, and you will be able to summon and work with things like necromancy and demons. They’ll shoot something like a beam of light that takes away life force.
‘Because that’s how France’s attack pattern was in the game.’
Even if I leave later, you will be able to properly protect yourself. Still, it was a boss-level character, but if you weren’t the world’s strongest, you wouldn’t be able to deal with it easily.
‘Black magic is tricky too.’
There’s nothing to worry about.
“How much basic magic did you learn?”
“I didn’t need Kazar, so I only learned telekinesis.”
“Did you give me a detailed reason?”
“It’s a rare black magic, but they say you don’t need basic magic.”
I see. Still, it would be nice to learn life magic and auxiliary magic.
‘Kazar judged it, so it shouldn’t matter.’
Life magic is easy, so you can learn it even if you study on your own.
“Didn’t Kazar tell you about the magic of flight?”
“Ah, I did ask you to tell me about that.”
“I did?”
“They said it was impossible to solve magic formulas at this level.”
It seems that flying magic is difficult. Well, I didn’t see a flying wizard in the game either. This time, it must have been possible because I came into this world and did not become a man.
‘The only magician stronger than Kazar is the transcendental magician.’
In spite of being a drastically lowered mage, Kazar in the game showed great skill with only auxiliary magic and was helpful. Wouldn’t it be possible to surpass even that transcendent wizard…….
‘Establishing a tower with him at its center seems to go smoothly.’
Gather wizards from all over the world. Then, the top of the magicians is made into Kazar, and the thing that moves the Kazar is made into France.
‘With this alone, the imperial family’s interference is already impossible.’
But there is always a worst in everything. I have a lot more to offer to Frances.
‘Until then.’
I should stay by her side.
“What do you think?”
“Oh, no big deal. I was thinking about the future of the princess.”
“Huh, my future. Won’t you tell me what you think?”
“I feel proud when I think of the princess who will reign at the pinnacle of the empire.”
France is startled by the word peak.
“… Does that mean becoming emperor? What are you going to do with me?”
“You don’t have to be an emperor to reign at the pinnacle.”
As I get closer to the end of my plan, Frances will become virtually the real power of the Empire. Far from being checked by the imperial family, the imperial family will be checked on the contrary.
“To think that you can reign at the pinnacle even if you are not the emperor. I can’t imagine. What are you trying to do?”
“Even if I say it now, it doesn’t mean much. I will tell you when the steps are taken step by step.”
If I tell you about my final goal, I may fall into fear or become impatient. It is important to go up step by step with consulting.
“By the way, what time is it?”
Frances took out a pocket watch from her bosom and checked the time.
“Oops. It’s already a little over one o’clock.”
“We must leave soon.”
“Is Helena here?”
“She must have come.”
“Please call Helena.”
“Yes.”
I hurried out to visit. Ask the boss of her house to find Helena, and tell her.
“The princess is calling. I do not have time.”
“Yes, yes!”
Helena gave up what she was doing and headed straight for France’s room. I’ll wait in front of the wagon.
I left the annex and stood in front of the wagon. The knights from the duke’s family were waiting with their angular posture.
‘I wonder if these guys have been waiting like this since the beginning.’
I’m sorry about something. I’m glad the weather isn’t hot.
“Hey, slave.”
“What is it?”
“I used to talk rudely.”
The knight who asked me a question muttered something, then shook his head and continued.
“When is the princess going to leave? It should be enough to enter by now.”
“This is the princess’s plan. She asked me to tell her that she was sorry for making me wait so long.”
The knight said yes, and nodded his head. Fortunately, there are no other complaints.
“By the way, how long are you going to talk rudely? No matter how much royalty you are, you are just a slave now.”
“I am Princess Descartes’ slave. The only person who can give me orders is the princess.”
“Your loyalty to the princess of the same country as your enemy is no joke. If anyone sees it, I’d believe it even if it’s the real princess’s escort knight.”
Because he’s the only one who treats me well, I’m loyal. And also a very pitiful person.
“Don’t meddle unnecessarily.”
“Ha, you have a strong sense of pride because you come from a royal family.”
With these words, the conversation with the knight ended. He must have judged that he was not an opponent that could be resolved with words.
At that time. The door to the outbuilding opened and France came out. Andrea’s dress I saw last time. Maybe it was because of the finishing touches, the quality had gone up a lot since then.
‘It’s great.’
It’s perfect except for a little bit of eroticism.
‘But aren’t the other nobles glancing at you?’
I feel bad for some reason. Maybe it’s because Frances is raising her like a daughter…….
“Let’s go.”
“Yes.”
As usual, they boarded the wagon and the knights rode the horses.
“Let’s go!”
It’s rattled. The carriage moved.
“Now the plan begins.”
“This is the last step. Let’s finish well.”
“Yes, it should be. How did you get here?”
There were many interruptions while preparing for a business. If it wasn’t for Eden and Line, I would have started long ago.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter since I’m going to use the imperial party.’
It turned out well anyway.
“Don’t be nervous, just do what you always do.”
“I know. But the beating heart won’t stop.”
“But don’t be too pressured. Even if there are mistakes, I will fix them.”
“Yes, what are you afraid of when you are here? Thanks to you, I feel a little more at ease.”
It was only then that Frances relaxed her stiff expression. I’m fine now.
“Then let’s go. To announce the first appearance of the France Corporation.”
* * *
After arriving at the imperial party hall, we got off the carriage and headed towards the entrance.
A party venue different from yesterday. The scale was much larger and the number of knights guarding the surroundings increased.
“The atmosphere among the knights is bloody because His Majesty came.”
“Yes. If something happens, the entire empire will be shaken on that day.”
Are these the elite knights of the imperial family? Even looking at it from the sidelines, you can tell that the level is high.
The synchronization with Jin’s body deepened, and he gradually got used to using force. Now you can know the strength of your opponent just by looking at it.
It is true that each of them is strong, but none of them use auras.
‘Well, just as mages are rare in this world, Aura users are also rare.’
Comparatively, there are more people than wizards, but there are only a few people who have overwhelming power enough to change the game on the battlefield. Just because you know how to use an aura doesn’t necessarily mean you’re a monster.
‘It’s a soul-like game, so it’s different from other fantasy worlds.’
A worldview with relatively little personal power. I said it all in terms of being able to dodge attacks and skills by rolling.
‘But the final boss, Jin, is different.’
Anyway. Check out the article here. I walked after Frances.
“Princess Descartes, it has been confirmed. You can enter.”
Chuck. The golden knight saluted and opened the door.
Knock! At the same time as the huge arched door splits, all the nobles’ eyes gather here. The time now is two o’clock in the afternoon. The emperor and empress must have entered.
Aristocrats muttered in the distance.
―Ah, the door opened without a sound, so I did something, and it turned out to be Princess Descartes.
-I will. I thought you were His Majesty the Emperor. Wait, but that dress…….
―Is this the dress you were talking about yesterday?
―You definitely deserve to be confident… ….
Everyone looks at France’s dress in a state of fascination. It is fascinating and beautiful on a different level from the dresses worn by the first ladies and young girls at the party.
“Take a deep breath, it’s time to brag.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Yes, I have to press down on their noses.”
“And it is time to announce the downfall of Frieda.”
Now, this is a dress made by the world’s best craftsman. If you look at the building, your jaw will drop.
It’s a fun boasting time.
