Chapter 4 – Chapter 4 Maurice Dmitry (2)
The Sun Palace, where the Emperor resides.
As if to symbolize the grandeur of the empire, I set foot in the huge and splendid imperial castle built of marble.
It was unpleasant whenever I came here.
When I first possessed the world, it was always a place full of excitement and novelty.
After the death penalty several times due to secret struggles in the court, he came only to see the main scenario.
“His Majesty is waiting for you.”
The guard who saw me saluted.
Instead of shaking my hand as a greeting, I entered the Palace of the Sun.
“Minister, please follow me.”
I followed the butler through the yard that the gardener had worked hard to take care of, and walked to the Emperor’s private audience room located in the Palace of the Sun.
“Your Majesty, Minister of Magic Dmitry has arrived.”
“Stop by.”
The door opened, and the emperor, who had been sitting leisurely drinking wine in the audience room, appeared.
‘Really handsome.’
Platinum hair and blue eyes.
The emperor of the Vermouth Empire with a near-perfect appearance that leaves admiration at any time.
The male lead of the novel, 「Finding a Happy Ending in Evil」.
Leuclid von Vermut.
The ruler of the empire was looking down at me.
“Meet the sun of the empire.”
I greeted the emperor in the imperial manner.
It was a perfect example.
It was the result of practicing to die in order not to get into trouble with the nobles.
“Your manners are always beautiful.”
The emperor’s brief commentary was over.
“Is this the first time since the Ministerial Appointment Ceremony?”
“That’s right.”
“It’s been a week already. Is the job right for you?”
“It is not much different from what I was doing when I was vice minister, so there is no problem adapting.”
“I heard you’re having a hard time.”
“I am working without worries thanks to Your Majesty’s benevolence.”
“Do you have anything to report?”
“Except for the barbarians aiming for the weakened borders after the coronation, there is nothing special.”
“The southern barbarians, troublesome people.”
“It will be solved by sending troops to the border.”
“I need to talk to the Secretary of Defense.”
The emperor shook his head and put the wine down.
“The empress is not in sight.”
“It is not necessary to come to the empress to talk about national affairs. The child will be resting in his room.”
“Is that so?”
I saw
The emperor’s eyes fell cold when he talked about the empress, who was the mistress of this world.
The Emperor waved his hand and corrected her posture.
“Well, I didn’t call to talk about trivial matters.”
Finally, the main point came out.
“Did you receive my present?”
It was the story of Seria who lost Siegfried.
“I received it through the knights yesterday.”
“How is it?”
“What do you mean?”
“Speaking of her. Isn’t she beautiful enough to be sad if she were second in the empire?”
I closed my mouth.
“How can I hurt the gift Your Majesty bestowed upon me?”
At my words, the emperor shook his head.
“Minister, I didn’t want this kind of reaction.”
“Which one do you want?”
“Should I speak for myself? I thought you would know better.”
“How can humans penetrate the heart of the sun?”
“Haha, the war hero who destroyed the traitorous former minister with magic is too humble.”
The emperor laughed once and slowly opened his mouth.
“Warman Maurice, I heard that the method of killing and harassing enemies is a cruel nickname.”
The blue eyes that looked at me glistened.
Before becoming Vice Minister, I had my hands full when dealing with the Ministry of Magic’s enemies who tried to stop me.
Nickname since then.
Warmongering Maurice.
I thought I had forgotten by now.
I never thought I would hear that nickname from the male lead.
“I want her to get hurt. I want her to be as painful as the pain she felt because of her. It’s not just pain, it’s something that breaks your heart. That’s why I sent it to you.”
Was it like that too?
This is a person.
Unlike her handsome and dignified appearance, her cruel nature was dormant inside.
‘I thought I softened through meeting the female lead.’
Wasn’t it
I bowed my head without speaking.
“I am sure you understand me well. I hope the wonders don’t disappoint Jim in the future.”
Damn it
I feel like I’m involved in something troublesome.

“What were you talking about?”
Back at the office, Jane asked, making a fuss.
“Be quiet and focus on your work. I know that today’s work is piled up…”
Thud!
Red-haired Jane put down the documents she was holding.
“It’s all over. So please talk. What have you been talking about with His Majesty the Emperor?”
“There was nothing. It was all about the country.”
“Lie.”
Can’t you lie too?
“As expected, it’s about Seria Siegfried, right?”
“You better be careful with that name.”
“That’s a story that only works for humans.”
Jane grinned.
I nodded, thinking that if I didn’t tell him, I’d keep sticking to him.
“Really? What were you talking about? By all means, protect my woman. Or kill the identity but she’s still my love…”
“Jane.”
I interrupted her loud talk.
“It’s not as romantic as you think.”
He was an emperor who wanted a shabby and miserable end for his ex-fiancée who had tormented him.
It was like I was involved in a battle of passion after the completion.
It would be very annoying
“Then what is her minister going to do with her?”
As he was holding his head, Jane asked.
“What do you want to do?”
“Yes, it belongs to the minister now.”
What do you want to do
“I haven’t decided yet.”
It was then.
“Minister, this is Sadric.”
Vigilant No. 1, Sadrick, has come.
“Come in.”
“This month’s Ministry of Magic’s budget and this month’s new paper on the Mage Tower.”
“The amount is huge.”
“It is the beginning of change. There will be many people who want to look good for the new Minister of Magic.”
After speaking, Sadrick laughed out loud.
“Be quiet. Do you have a headache?”
I’m going to get hit by work today.
***
I finished all my work and went home.
My head was pounding from the heavy workload today.
The work of the Ministry of Magic was a burden even for Maurice, whose intelligence and mental strength far exceeded the category of ordinary people.
That there is a house where you can rest.
It always gave me relief.
I saw the Dmitri family’s huge mansion with a large yard.
3 years.
It took the time it took to make the leaning family line this far.
A masterpiece that I created in this world.
After buying this mansion, whenever work was difficult, he calmed down his stress by appreciating the house.
[Good reputation], [Performance principle], [Perfectionist]
It was because of this personality that is the foundation of Maurice’s personality.
Of course, there were other reasons as well.
To reflect on where I was before and where I am now.
Do not be on your guard.
The political scene of the Vermouth Empire was the place where they could fall back to the bottom if they were hard.
I thought that today, like any other day, the mansion would give me enough rest.
Apparently it was.
Until you open the front door and enter.
“What is this?”
I saw the living room in a mess.
The expensive pottery on display was shattered, and the carpet on the floor was crumpled and messed up here and there.
The artworks, which had been neatly arranged, were hung arbitrarily without any rules.
‘Ah.’
I felt dizzy.
It was dizzy.
My house
A mansion that gave peace of mind.
It had become a garbage dump.
I knew who made the house this way without asking.
While I was away, only one person was home.
It was Seria who lost all of her identity as of yesterday.
A cold rage consumed my body.
Don’t lose your temper and get excited.
I took a deep breath in and exhaled to control my breathing.
‘Let’s calm down. Calm.’
Write it, whoa.
I took a breath and waved my hand.
I twisted the time magic formula and recovered the broken pottery that had fallen on the floor.
Like a movie that has been rewinded, the shattered pieces of pottery return to their places one by one and are completed in their original form.
The messy carpet was restored to its original state with magic.
The artwork hanging in the closet flew through the air and returned to its place.
He quickly drew formulas in the air and memorized an incantation.
Casting 5 spells at the same time was not an easy task even for a country close to a wizard.
My head hurt like it would break.
I was a bit overreacting to tidy up this terrible house.
“Seria.”
I called Seria in a low voice with her mana her.
She could have heard if she was inside her mansion.
But there was no answer.
“If you come out now, I will finish by undressing you.”
There was no answer this time either.
I went up to the second floor.
The situation on the second floor was not much different from that on the first floor.
He gritted his teeth in severe dizziness.
Once again, it was arranged by magic.
Things flew around and fell into place.
Items that seemed difficult to recover even with time magic were incinerated with magic on the spot.
Roaring!
‘It’s a pottery I cherished.’
It was a pottery that looked similar to white porcelain from the Joseon Dynasty.
I cherished it because it reminded me of the original world I lived in as Choi Yoo-jun.
Break it?
A blood vessel popped up on his forehead.
Have you not come to your senses yet?
I commend you for that stubbornness alone.
It’s past the time to have a good talk about it.
I shook the mana in the air.
Mana began to vibrate.
The wave of mana that started from my feet quickly spread to the mansion and the yard.
Although I had my eyes closed, I could see every corner of the mansion at a glance.
It was a search magic that applied ultrasound.
I waved my hand and scanned the mana-lit mansion.
And.
I found Seria hiding in the guest room on the third floor, holding her breath.
