Chapter 969 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (27)
She had to take responsibility for the choices she made.
To give up her concubine position and stand by his side on the battlefield.
That, she thought, was something that would rather enable her to receive the attention and love of His Majesty the Emperor.
The emperor had many women sit in the concubines, but he was not very interested in the concubines.
If this is the case, I don’t know why they made so many concubines.
She used to resent the emperor on nights when she was exceptionally lonely, sleeping alone.
So she went to war, even though she knew it might be a reckless choice.
It is impossible to re-enter the position of a concubine once given up.
After making a decision and putting it into practice, it was unacceptable to regret it.
‘I didn’t know I’d have regrets like this.’
But she ended up regretting it.
‘How can I not regret seeing this?’
A miracle happened.
It was well known that she frequently displays strange powers.
Moreover, when I thought of the time when I returned the thunderbolts and rainstorms that fell from the sky to the enemy, I got goosebumps and shivered all over my body.
His Majesty the Emperor was far greater than she had guessed.
‘If I hadn’t seen this, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life. No, the lives of those who haven’t seen this are half lost.’
Even then, she did not regret her own choice.
If I wasn’t here right now, I witnessed a rare sight that I would never have seen in my life.
She had no doubts that this war would become a legend and be handed down to future generations.
And the empire will become even greater.
In a word, she is full of ‘Gukppong’.
Her faith in His Majesty the Emperor did not fade despite various adverse events and unpleasant situations that came to the Empire after her victory.
‘He must know the answer.’
And this wish of her, he fulfilled overflowing.
As he commanded, he captured the Geos nobles and priests.
‘Shameless bastards. If you guys catch us, what can we do? I looked at it with that gaze.’
However, just because he was caught did not mean that he could coolly vent his anger.
In order not to look bad at the temple, I should have done my best to manage it so that the captives would not feel uncomfortable.
And that fact was very upsetting.
To the reality of having to cater to the people who killed us.
And it was humiliating.
Because I knew it would be impossible to shove a fist in that shameless bastard’s face.
But her majesty, as always, gave her her answer.
“He permitted torture!”
“Sir, torture the priest? Is it okay?”
“You said you wanted to pluck out your fingernails and toenails because you were mean.”
“But… If you accidentally touch the priest and get cursed…”
“So you’re not going to do it? Is that what His Majesty ordered?”
“I do! I do.”
At first, the torture technicians felt uncomfortable touching the priests.
However, after that, he was devastated to see him revealing what he knew so easily that it was pointless.
“Because he’s a priest, I thought he’d have great patience, didn’t he?”
“Patience is… A piece of shit.”
“It was less patient than a trained young assassin.”
“He’s got the energy to even tell you the color of the underwear he was wearing a year ago while pooping.”
The torture technician only pulled out one fingernail, but I was very disappointed to see the priest who was doing everything.
“It’s embarrassing to be worried about what would happen if I was cursed by torturing things like that.”
And I realized that the unknown fear of the priest they had was not the truth.
After all, priests are just God’s creations.
Plus, what I found out after torturing them was shocking.
“Thoo! Dirty bastards.”
“They didn’t think about what they were doing and drove Our Majesty to become a demon contractor, right?”
What they’re doing is more on the subject of demonic contractors!
‘Priests use poison in wells…’
It was astonishing how a person could be so vicious.
Rumors spread quickly, and public opinion about priests was getting worse and worse.
And finally.
His Majesty suddenly ordered the sick soldiers to come out, and he began executing priests and Geos nobles in front of them.
An antidote not immediately available.
Tons of poisoned soldiers.
Grieved at not being able to save everyone, the emperor was executing priests to comfort them.
I had never seen an emperor make such a decision for the sake of his people.
A shrine and a shrine for soldiers whose lives are worth every day?
A big loss to anyone.
It was an act that never heard good things when evaluated as a monarch.
Nevertheless, the soldiers present and even the nobles shed tears.
Emperor’s noble sacrifice.
‘I have no regrets about my decision to follow him for the rest of my life!’
‘This will cause a lot of trouble…But I will never regret it!’
Even the dying soldiers were shouting, “Long live the Emperor.”
And finally.
Something unbelievable happened.
“Uh huh?”
“Huh!?”
Because they were about to die, they noticed changes in their bodies faster than anyone else.
Suddenly, I could breathe well, my eyes were bright, and the symptoms of fever and dizziness disappeared as if they were washed, but not knowing was even more strange.
“Si, I killed the priest, but did the dying soldiers get better?”
“Unbelievable!”
Your Majesty’s choice was right!
The temple had been corrupted, and it must have no longer been protected by the gods.
The empire is chosen and the emperor is the messenger of God.
The corrupted temple did not recognize this and rather sold them as demonic contractors, and God made a choice by abandoning them.
“God’s will is directed towards the Empire…!”
There could be nothing more thrilling than this.
And she was grateful and regretful at the same time.
Since she was a child, she had been uncomfortable with killing priests because it was a religion she had faithfully believed in.
And she gave up her position as concubine in return, and she regretted it.
‘Even if I spend most of my time in a poison workshop, if I get the chance to serve him at least once, that alone would be worthwhile.’
Now that it was a special situation called war, there was an opportunity to warm his bedroom.
After the war, His Majesty had no reason to seek him out.
It was a pity that I couldn’t bear it.
‘I don’t know if there was even a baby born from that person’s seed…’
Since today, he has gone up so high that no matter how hard he tries, he can’t get close to him.
She let out a small sigh and prayed for the blessing of a new life to rest in her stomach from the night before.
⁘ ⁘ ⁘
The number of people who witnessed the incredible miracle was staggering.
A miracle that happened the moment the priest was punished.
Firm God’s support for the Empire.
The miracle of this day quickly spread across the continent.
“Ah, what nonsense are you talking about? Sometime you say you’re a demon contractor! Does it make sense that someone who is said to be a demon contractor suddenly becomes a messenger of God?”
Of course, there were many who did not believe.
That doesn’t make sense
The priests did such vicious things, the emperor ordered their execution to punish them, and the gods healed the soldiers after killing them.
Isn’t that something out of a fairy tale?
“What is the reason for using energy in the temple to stop rumors?”
“Really? The temple shuts down these rumors?”
“Yeah! They’re blocking it because there’s something stabbing them.”
“Huh…Then the temple is really corrupted?”
“Shhhhh!! Speak quietly. If you get caught by the temple then you’ll be in big trouble.”
Furthermore, rumors were spreading faster because they were blocking rumors by stepping out of the temple.
If I just stayed still, people would have doubted and not believed it, but since the temple was actively blocking rumors, people came to believe that these unbelievable rumors were real.
Stopping rumors in the temple was nothing more than peeing on frozen feet.
By the time they realized what they had done was futile, it was when rumors had already spread across the continent.
“Is that rumor true? Shouldn’t we withdraw our support for the Geos Empire now?”
“If the Emperor of the Empire wins the war, another superpower will arise. No, it will eat the Geos Empire and grow bigger. At that time, will our kingdom have the power to stop the Empire?”
“At least at that time, isn’t there a follow-up? Then the Empire may subjugate the Geos Empire and start a war against our kingdom!”
Among the allies who had joined hands with the Geos Empire, there was an opinion that it would be better to gradually stop losing money.
It was because he was afraid of the empire that would eat the Geos Empire and grow in size, but on the contrary, he was also afraid of being taken by that empire.
It was something that would determine the future of the kingdom, so the choice had to be made carefully.
Of course, as these stories began to emerge, the alliance they had forged with the Geos Empire was cracking.
“Is it still hard to send reinforcements!”
Emperor Geos noticed that the allies changed their attitudes all at once.
If possible, he would protest, but unfortunately, the reinforcements they sent had been replaced on the battlefield, so Emperor Geos had nothing to say.
“They say they can’t afford it.”
“A temple?”
“The temple gave me a confirmation that they would send reinforcements. However, this time, it seems that the donations will be a bit large.
“I don’t know what nonsense you’re talking about. Did the temple really ask for donations?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“What the hell do those bastards see our Geos Empire?
The empire executed the priests.
Upon hearing the news, the temple was understandably furious, and they had an obligation to unleash their anger on the empire.
However, it was not enough to use the war of the Geos Empire to retaliate, so he was trying to extort money.
Of course, the Geos Empire had no choice but to show a crooked attitude because they hadn’t spent a dime or two on temples.
