Chapter 73 – The Imperial Family (3)
Next day.
When I went to the dean and explained the situation, I was able to easily obtain a certificate of leave of absence.
It’s still only the first semester of the first year, and if I skip this time, I’ll miss almost a month, but the dean just smiled and didn’t say anything to me.
What is power
“I’ll have to seriously think about it after the ranking match in the first semester is over.”
“What?”
Back at the dormitory, I sat my sister on my lap and muttered something, and she looked up and asked me.
“Should I continue attending the academy or not?”
“Yes. Are you still thinking about that?”
It’s not like we’re going around because we like it.
My sister whined like that as she leaned her back on my arms.
“I would have been more comfortable if we were professors.”
“There is nothing we can teach you.”
“Isn’t it? You can teach them the history of vampires or something like that.”
Sister Letty grumbled and said.
To soothe her sister, she gently massaged her cheek and her shoulder.
“Ugh, uhh—”
“Who wants to hear about the history of vampires? It wouldn’t be very fun. Can you have fun teaching?”
“… No.”
“Rather than that, do you know the history of vampires well?”
“… I don’t know.”
“By the way, what kind of professor are you?”
My sister became sullen. He gently stroked the drooping platinum hair with his hand to soothe it. Heeing, my sister, who made a crying sound as if to hear me, weakly bit my finger.
“Aang.”
“It hurts.”
“Do not lie.”
Although it’s a lie.
“Anyway. I’m just worried about it now, so don’t worry about it too much.”
“Yes.”
Sister nodding her head.
“Rather than that, don’t you care more about what the emperor will say to me?”
“I don’t know because I’ve never met him.”
“I don’t know because I don’t remember either.”
To be precise, I knew almost everything about the setting of the character called the emperor. Through cross-validation through my sister, I also confirmed that the information was not incorrect.
However, there is a difference between knowing the setting and facing it as a person.
For the time being, he is being called as his daughter’s boyfriend.
Hmm.
“Did I say anything before I lost my memory?”
“Hmm. Are you a brat?”
“This.”
“Are you stubborn?”
“I guess that’s what it is.”
My butt hurts a little. Perhaps, even if I didn’t want to, there was a high possibility of getting caught up in the politics of the imperial palace.
No. Reluctantly, I had to intervene.
If left alone, her power to keep her Iris in check will grow and hinder her in everything.
“There is nothing comfortable.”
It really was.
What though
“Should I use this opportunity to seduce Iris?”
“… Are you saying that in front of me now?”
My sister who opened her ax eyes and glared at me. I hugged her as she raised her nails and tried to scratch me.
“Yah!”
Cute
*
The next morning. Standing in front of the warp gate, Iris worriedly grabbed my hand.
“What are you so worried about?”
“I wonder if my father is saying strange things to my older brother…”
That’s true A lot of worries.
Although it is a realistic concern. That’s why, in response to Iris’ worries, I quickly agreed with her. So, to calm the atmosphere, I clamped my hand with Iris’s hand.
“Brother, try it.”
“… Kid, really. I mean serious.”
“Brother.”
“… Brother.”
“Right.”
Mr. Iris’ glance at me seemed to have calmed down. I tickled the back of her hand with the fingers of her clasped hands, admirably.
“Ugh-.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself.”
“… Huh.”
“Then shall we go?”
Just like that, she crosses her warp gate with her hand in hand with her.
A warp gate in the imperial palace that can only be used by a very few permitted by the emperor.
Since Iris, the seven dukes of the empire, and Iris, the princess, were among the few, they warped directly to the imperial palace, rather than to the gate on the outskirts of the capital, which was quite far from the imperial palace.
A light came out and enveloped the iris, and a faint sense of floating enveloped us.
Eventually, as the light faded, the vision changed.
Holding Iris and her hand, I step forward to her.
And.
“Meet the light and salt of a noble empire, the pillars of a great empire!”
The golden eagle knights of the imperial family lined up and welcomed us with a loud voice as if they had waited.
The light and salt of the Empire represent Iris, and the Pillars of the Empire represents me.
It must be that the sun is the emperor, and the light is the word usually used to call the successor crown prince.
‘Fortunately, the successor hasn’t been sorted out yet.’
You should know how to call the other princes for this part.
In any case, it was confirmed that Iris, who had become a hero, had not been pushed out of the race for her succession at all.
‘It would be better if Iris became the emperor.’
It’s related to me, so to be honest, it’s close to impossible.
As I was roughly grasping the situation, a giant in shining armor approached from among the knights lined up on both sides.
Chuck, the giant shouts in a booming voice as he gets down on one knee.
“Imperial light! Imperial Salt! I dare to have an audience with Her Highness Princess Iris Arcadia and Her Highness Scarlett Tepesh, the Seven Pillars of the Empire! I, Arnold, will guide you both to His Majesty!”
Is it a knight commander?
The symbol of the knights is the golden eagle, but the armor is shining white, so there is a considerable sense of difference.
What though
I sneak a peek at Iris with her arms crossed, and she nods as she faces me.
“Guide me.”
“Yes!”
After receiving Iris’ consent, I also nodded to her, and Arnold jumped to his feet.
You’re incredibly tall
I’m not on the small side either, but I admired Knight Commander Arnold, who was one head taller than me.
I looked behind Arnold, who was going ahead, and sent a telephony to Iris.
“I don’t remember, do you know me?”
“Perhaps… The Knight Commander has already been the leader of the Golden Eagle Knights for 20 years.”
“Okay.”
Somehow, the momentum was great.
Huge stature, big shoulders, yet a well-balanced body shape and undisturbed gait.
The momentum that was extremely captured there.
I had a hunch that he was one of the strongest in the imperial palace.
“Iris.”
“Yes?”
“Who will win if the two fight?”
“… Who with whom?”
“Iris and Arnold Knight Commander.”
“Well, why are you curious about that? Of course I lose.”
Unlike before, this time he spoke deliberately so that Arnold, who was walking ahead, could hear. No matter how small a whisper, a knight of that level would be able to hear it.
“Haha! Considering Your Highness’ growth, I expect to catch up within a year!”
Look at that You answer with a big smile.
Iris blushed.
“Ah, how can I be the captain of the knights?”
Still, isn’t the relationship between the two bad?
I guessed based on the information I heard from my sister, but the information my sister had was also based on the information from my previous life, so I tried it once and it seems to be okay.
I thought that at least the knight commander would not be hostile to Iris.
I don’t know if I’ll take your side.
“Im here!”
One inspiration’s voice is booming.
Few people in the imperial palace could raise their voices this loudly.
Arnold ushered us into the emperor’s throne room and stepped aside.
This means that only we can enter.
‘Is there no need to escort the emperor?’
Rather than trust in me or Iris, it would be confidence and trust in the emperor himself.
Even if it’s old trash now.
I pushed the door of the audience room firmly closed.
Beyond the open door, a man sat on a lavishly decorated throne.
The unified emperor of the continent and the legitimate ruler of the Empire Arcadia.
Claudius II.
A master of swords who once competed with the swordsmen of the north, and an aura master.
Although the swordsman passed the wall and reached the level of a grand master, he was blocked by the wall and grew old as a master.
“Cepesh greets the sun of the continent and the owner of the empire.”
I bowed lightly.
“Big.”
The emperor snorted, but did not point out my attitude. Because the relationship between the Emperor and I was close to equality, with only me bowing down a little.
This is not an academy.
“…”
However, the emperor does not accept my greetings.
I hope this old man Are you upset that I just lowered my head? So are you arguing with me now?
Is your little daughter watching from the side?
“Ah…”
Look at that.
Uh? Her youngest daughter is embarrassed. What are you doing when you get older? He’s about the same age as the old man from the north.
…
Come to think of it, you’re the same age as me, then.
Got a little depressed
“Father…”
Iris opened her mouth with a trembling voice as if she had become anxious.
I raised my head without bothering to listen to the emperor’s answer.
Even so, she’s my woman, so I can’t make her suffer.
“… A lot has changed.”
Only then did the emperor open his mouth.
It seemed that he did not intend to interrogate me for raising my head without answering him.
Besides, there’s something casual about the tone.
I clicked my tongue on the inside, but smiled on the outside as I replied.
“Because a lot of time has passed.”
Then the emperor replied as if he was full of energy.
“Stop giving respect that doesn’t suit you. It’s terrible to remember the time when he usurped the duchy from his father 30 years ago and sent me an after-action notice.”
What the hell was I doing before I lost my memory?
