Chapter 138 – Episode 138 the Princess Trapped in Fate, the Iliad Princess (2)
‘It’s a strange thing.’
I’m sure I remember kissing the princess of Iliad just a while ago.
At that moment, consciousness flashed, and right now.
‘Did she have powers strong enough to control her consciousness?’
Is it that she is the princess of the empire in her own way?
Perhaps this place is in the memories of the Iliad princess.
The reason I seem to have turned into the young Princess of Iliad is probably because I’m floating in her memories now.
I remembered what Princess Iliad said to me right before she lost consciousness.
-I’ll show you why I asked the devil to save me.
An unknown liquid that filled my surroundings.
Even though it is clear that it will be difficult to breathe because it is full of liquid, I am breathing in the liquid.
A space that looks like a mad scientist’s laboratory.
“Whoop whoop.”
The young Iliad princess, no, the emperor looking at me with a satisfied smile.
I raised my head and met her red eyes.
“Are you awake? My daughter.”
Bubbling.
“Are you out of your mind? Anything uncomfortable?”
Bubbling.
I couldn’t speak
This is not my world
A space full of memories of the princess of the Iliad.
As if I had turned on a hologram projector, I was just watching the video being played.
“It is really beautiful.”
The emperor was admiring the unknown mechanism in front of him.
“You may not be able to see it, but this machine is full of information about you who were just born.”
You can see numerous numbers written on the machine.
Unknown numbers.
Mana value, memory storage, arithmetic ability, etc.
It was full of tons of information related to the brain.
And it was clear that most of those figures were heading towards the top.
This was the confidence of the Iliad princess.
“My new daughter, Iliad, created using only my genes……. She is my daughter who is better than any other child and has great knowledge.”
The emperor came over and put his hand on the huge vat where I was submerged.
“If you sacrifice yourself, the future of the empire will become even richer. So just grow up like this.”
Bubbling.
“It’s amazing. It’s just that he’s changed his gender, but he’s showing such outstanding abilities. There must be physical limitations, but it doesn’t matter because there is no problem with the body while using alchemy.”
Seeing the disgrace of the Iliad, the emperor marveled again.
“I look forward to the time when you will dedicate yourself to me.”
‘Iliad was a homunculus that received the emperor’s genes.’
But why?
Unless she was a eunuch who couldn’t give birth to children, she had no reason to make a child out of an artificial human.
Is it because of the warped ethics of the Empire?
A giant empire made of artificial humans.
‘It’s twisted.’
I couldn’t understand.
The emperor approached me.
No, she came to the Iliad.
“My pride would not allow me to become a woman’s body, but it must be inevitable for the sake of the empire’s infinite development. Does not matter. I, who have awakened more with your body, can make a more efficient male artificial human in the future.”
What?
‘What does it mean to become a woman’s body?’
No way.
‘Are you going to possess the Iliad’s body?’
It was clear that the empire was twisted beyond imagination.
The Emperor smiled and left.
The Iliad raised his head only after the emperor’s presence had completely disappeared.
‘Did you hear everything?’
That must be it.
Why did she want to kill the emperor?
For her to live.
“…….”
In addition to the huge test tube she was in, there were more than 10 tubes filled around her.
She had boys who looked just like her asleep.
Children who strangely resemble the emperor and the Iliad.
She instinctively recognized that they were her brothers.
Bubbling.
Iliad looked at his brothers and stretched out his hand.
However, among her more than ten experimental children, Iliad was the only one that could move.
‘Isn’t the emperor’s android one?’
Except for the Iliad, there was a homunculus that received the emperor’s gene.
‘Where are they?’
The moment the question arises, the scene changes.
Bubbling.
I saw the Iliad still floating in the experimental bottle.
Shoot aaaaa!
Her other brother who was immersed in the experimental broth.
“Move quickly.”
“It smells bad.”
“Shall we go for a drink after this?”
“Not bad.”
Being carried away by other alchemists.
Weak hands, unfocused eyes, unmoving breasts.
He died too
He was killed, to be exact.
-Take care of everything except the Iliad.
Because of the Emperor’s order.
The Iliad was incomprehensible.
Why are you even doing this?
Why should she and her brothers die?
More than ten of her brothers died before her eyes.
They couldn’t even wake up, they just became one of the test subjects and were disposed of.
Dignity as life.
It was not even recognized for its value as an existence.
Perhaps there are no tombs left to honor them.
Tears were about to come out.
For the first time, she felt the sadness of losing her family.
I couldn’t talk or share any emotions with them, but the instinctive pull that I felt through my senses was cut off.
Bubbly.
“You are finally awake. It was faster than expected, but that must be proof of how good you are.”
The emperor, who had approached before he knew it, looked at the Iliad, who had opened his eyes.
“Your name will be the Iliad. Sooner or later, when he grows up, he will rule the empire on behalf of this body. So grow well. My daughter.”
The emperor pressed the button, and the experimental culture fluid that had filled her body drained out.
‘An emperor who has no qualms about killing his own flesh and blood. The Iliad, after hearing the emperor say that he would take over his body.’
Her desire to kill her emperor made sense.
And the scene changed.
The following scenes were nothing special.
Princess Iliad learned the courtesy of her royal family, acquired a lot of knowledge, and received the necessary education as an emperor of the empire, such as alchemy and cesarean studies.
The life of Iliad, a princess respected by the people of the empire and bestowing her good deeds, passed quickly.
Like.
As if the sights he had seen in the laboratory never existed in the first place.
…….
‘It must have suffered in its own way.’
And again the son-in-law got dark.
***
“Did you see it?”
The Iliad stood before my eyes again.
“…… How long have I been standing like this?”
“It must have been about a minute. You’re back sooner than expected. Normally, I would lose consciousness for about 20 minutes…….”
She looked at me with sad eyes.
“I can understand why you came to visit me, whether you are trying to kill the emperor, or whether you are obsessed with shaping your destiny.”
Her destiny as a princess to be eaten by the emperor in the future.
Iliad to be sacrificed for his immortality.
Because he was such a powerful emperor, he must have thought there was no way to escape.
In that situation, a demon king who could stand against him appeared and solidified his power.
The demon king, who started with only a small dungeon, occupied the kingdom and gained the upper hand against the allied nations of different races.
From the Iliad’s point of view, it’s a gamble.
You chose me as the one to save you.
“Demon King, I need you.”
Princess Iliad held my hand.
“Like I said before, I will do anything. I’d give anything for you, if only I could kill the Emperor of the Empire. Even me…….”
I faced such an Iliad.
A fate foretelling her own loss from her birth.
It was harsh that it was not a loss due to simple death, but the death of the ego due to others.
The Iliad, who was born with such a fate, was betting its last gamble on me in order to live on its own.
“Did you say you could give me anything?”
“Yes.”
“Whatever…….”
I faced the Iliad holding my hand.
“Even if it means dedicating the empire to me?”
“…….”
“Do you mean that you can offer the empire to me without hesitation for your own comfort?”
This was my test.
Depending on which choice she makes, I will come up with an answer that suits her.
At my words, Iliad smiled cleanly.
“I have already sworn to sacrifice my chastity for my life. An empire built at the sacrifice of androids…….”
Power was in her hands.
“It means nothing to me.”
“I get it.”
I gently stroked Iliad’s hand.
“I will kill the emperor as you said. The price is the Iliad, the entire empire including you.”
“When the emperor dies, the throne will be inherited by me. When that time comes, I will dedicate the entire empire to the Demon King.”
If she said she couldn’t sacrifice the people of the Empire, she would refuse her request.
The selfishness of being able to sacrifice others for oneself.
Seeing her past, I knew.
That Iliad, the princess of the empire who lives for the people of the empire with a brilliant brain, is just a mask.
She knew that her own safety was important, and that the Iliad, full of her desire to live, was her true heart.
So I asked.
To see if she’s giving me her last true heart or not.
There was sincerity in Iliad’s eyes looking at me.
“Thanks. Demon King.”
I added a word to her who conveyed her thanks.
“And don’t think of casting a spell on me like this in the future. Uncomfortable.”
The sudden kiss of the Iliad.
The sharing of memories from the past.
Being forced into consciousness by someone was not a very good experience.
“There will be no such thing in the future.”
“…… I get it.”
“And take it. This is the information we need for this expedition.”
It was information about the empire’s supply routes and topographical information on major bases, as well as information on the important forces of the imperial army currently dispatched against the demon king’s army.
“Thank you.”
I put the data received from Iliad into the subspace.
She was already proving herself useful.
“Then I will go back. It will probably be impossible to meet like this when the war is in full swing.”
“Don’t worry. That’s why you let Lopez live.”
“Ah……. Yes.”
“Send urgent information through him.”
“I know. Then I’ll be waiting for you in the capital.”
Princess Iliad bowed her head.
She returned to the Imperial Capital with Lopez.
I moved my steps toward the other side, the dungeon.
***
“Lord Princess, are you okay?”
“Yes I’m okay.”
Way back with Lopez.
Princess Iliad couldn’t calm her rapidly beating heart.
It was the moment when her wish came true.
Assassination of the emperor.
If it was the Demon King, he would be able to do enough.
‘Can you sacrifice the empire for your life?’
The devil’s question remained in my head.
‘Absolutely.’
As long as she was alive, she would do anything.
Because Princess Iliad was a homunculus treated as a lower class in the empire.
‘I can sell my body too.’
Even though the demon king didn’t seem interested in her body.
Although that hurt my pride a bit.
It’s okay though.
The deal was done.
“Princess, you are walking too fast!”
Lopez hurriedly ran after her.
***
Wow!
The Demon King’s army cheered as they occupied the imperial fortress.
“Awesome. This information from my father…….”
Seiji admired the data book he received from the demon king.
Thanks to this magical piece of paper that accurately describes the enemy’s weakness, I was able to quickly capture the enemy’s fort with less damage than expected.
“As expected, my father is great.”
However, her amazing Demon Lord passed on her information and immediately returned to the outpost where the Demon World was located.
We have something to see.
