Chapter 779 – #96. Jinhaesol (83)
Bianca, who fell in love with the new Emperor Geos, kept in touch with me from time to time, and he informed me of the emperor she had come to know.
-You know what? Comparing the emperor to the master, which the nobles are secretly familiar with.
“Comparison?”
-They say it’s because the owner and the emperor grew up in a similar environment when they were young.
“Ah~”
My past here is all lies.
It was a rough fabrication of something that didn’t exist, but that past became a means of putting pressure on the new emperor.
“But I’m lying.”
– People here don’t know that. I heard that the emperor here grew up being watched and not treated properly because of a tyrant when he was young.
“Aren’t I better off? I didn’t suddenly become king. I was educated before I ascended.”
It is said that Emperor Geos went through a similar growth process as I did because he had faked his past.
I lived as a commoner without being recognized as an imperial family, and the new emperor of Geos lived without doing anything due to the persecution of the former tyrant emperor.
At least neither of us was formally trained to be ‘Emperor’.
However, the real me grew up with a formal education, and I learned even briefly how to become a king from my ‘father’.
-He doesn’t seem to care about the details here. They just want to see their own emperor perform better than the imperial emperor under the excuse of being similar.
“Could the emperor there pay attention to that nonsense?”
-Yes, I do care. The nobles here also find it absurd that they think the new emperor will know how to do it without being taught. If not, the owner is good, but why are you? I’m looking at it from the point of view.
Just imagining it makes my blood pressure rise and my self-esteem hurt.
In the first place, it was wrong that the nobles did not hesitate to compare me to the new emperor of Geos.
“Will the emperor leave it alone?”
– What can I do? Even without a foundation, he became an emperor without much foundation. The nobles banded together and fought with the emperor, but he didn’t know how to do anything.
“Isn’t that good for you?”
-Hehe, that’s right. Thanks to you, I was good. I was able to get close to the emperor much easier than I thought. Maybe because it’s so easy, the steam is missing?
Hearing what Bianca had to say, it was clear that the Geos Empire was in ruins.
The incompetent emperor and nobles who only think about their own safety without thinking about resolving the empire.
A disaster called Bianca fell on the damn empire they were building.
‘It’s like throwing a straight punch to the stomach.’
Still, the Geos Empire had to beat it like this from time to time.
Since it was an empire that had enjoyed affluence for such a long time, it basically had a lot of things.
Since there is also a plate that keeps coming out, is there a taste that makes you want to beat it again and again?
After all, civil war would break out and nobles would become independent to become kings?
‘It means nobles are rich enough to think that way.’
They have a desire for independence because they can make a living with only the territory they are running without needing help from the imperial palace.
If it is difficult to manage the territory, there is no way you dare to think of independence, right?
‘That’s why I have to beat again and again until the richness wears off.’
The situation is very good.
An incompetent emperor and nobles who hesitate to take responsibility.
The rich empire of Geos will begin to fester from within.
At a speed so fast that even if I wanted to turn it back, I couldn’t.

“Do you need anything more?”
The emperor couldn’t hide his nervousness and asked the same question again.
The foreign merchant looked at the emperor calmly and humbly lowered his eyes and replied.
“I gave you everything in the Geos Empire, what more do you need? There is nothing you need.”
“You don’t need anything?”
The answer she gave did not please the emperor.
Among the people of the Empire, there is no one who does not covet their own things, so I couldn’t understand why the people who wanted to give the most did not covet their own things the most.
“Hasn’t Your Majesty given you much already? My ship is full of all sorts of things that I can’t carry anymore. So what else can I say I need here?”
Bianca, a foreign trader, who may or may not know the Emperor’s nervousness, has spoken harsh words.
The emperor belatedly realized that he had said this not once or twice.
It wasn’t that Bianca didn’t want anything from the start.
He said he needed jewels, animal skins, sometimes grain, sometimes gold.
And Emperor Geos gave her what she wanted and gave it to her.
Because if I didn’t, it seemed like I would leave this country at any moment.
“Now that Jim has nothing more to give you, are you leaving?”
Emperor Geos’ voice became hoarse.
A seat makes a person.
As she became the emperor who ruled over the Geos Empire, her personality was also changing.
“Do you think I will leave?”
“You’re a merchant, so it’s only natural that you go somewhere else!”
During the last time the foreign merchant stayed in the Geos Empire.
She became a special person to Emperor Geos.
The only thing that understands the hardship of the emperor is a merchant from a foreign country.
Ironically, her emperor could not allow her to leave.
She knew a lot, whether it was because she roamed her world freely, and she knew how to stand tall even in front of her emperor, and was able to give her appropriate advice when she was engulfed in her troubles.
‘I want to follow you.’
She was envious
In her mind, she wanted to leave with her rather than holding her to her Geoos Empire.
If there was a way to give up the position of noble emperor, she would have given up without hesitation.
Her heart skipped a beat whenever she heard exciting stories about her travels in different countries.
That’s how Emperor Geos longed for freedom.
‘If it wasn’t for the emperor, wouldn’t we have been able to go together?’
That craving was becoming more and more intense with the appearance of foreign merchants.
Even though she wasn’t sure that she would take him, she said.
“That’s right. Since it’s a merchant who wanders around the country doing business, it’s right to leave.”
“You will go through all the hardships of suffering, but are you really going to leave?”
The emperor hid his desire to follow and asked the foreign merchant.
Bianca, a foreign merchant who listened to her concerns, sympathized with her, and even gave her counseling, becoming her only breathing hole.
She didn’t want to leave like this.
“I’ve lived on a boat all my life, so there’s no such thing as hardship. Rather, I feel awkward on land.”
“Can’t we just eat what Jim gave us? If we stay here, we’ll be able to enjoy wealth and glory without any danger.”
“Well, looking at the current situation, I think my neck will fall off any minute?”
“…You knew that nobles gossip about you these days.”
Nobles could not welcome the appearance of a foreign merchant who appeared out of nowhere and was favored by the emperor.
Because it was unclear where they came from, the nobles did not want to keep foreign merchants close to the emperor.
It was the Emperor Geos who stubbornly insisted on keeping it by his side.
And Emperor Geos did not regret his actions.
‘What if Bianca leaves and I’m left alone like before?’
Aren’t you still worried that she will leave?
The Emperor didn’t even know he was lonely, and he didn’t want to go back to that time.
However, due to Emperor Geos’ mistake of not distinguishing between her merit and her death, her nobles began to annoy her.
After all, her Bianca had done nothing to the detriment of her nobles just because she was her own favourite!
“How can you not know that? When you look at me, the fire burns in your eyes.”
“Ignore them. Jim trusts you, but people who don’t know the subject are doing useless tricks. As long as Jim keeps his eyes open, they can’t threaten you.”
“I am well aware that Your Majesty has deep trust in me. However, the fact that I continue to remain here will be seen as greed by them. And I cannot deny that greed.”
The reason I stay by your side is because of greed! I say it honestly.
The emperor was rather willing to do this.
“Do you know that different things are different? All the things next to me covet Jim’s things and want to take them. Wouldn’t you rather be honest? I don’t know.”
Rather, I liked Bianca who honestly said that she was fulfilling her greed through herself.
“Stay by my side. I’ll give you all the things you’ll never find even if you go out to sea.”
“What would you do if I, a mere merchant, were to be by your Majesty’s side and get stained with my filth?”
“Dirty! You are not dirty. There are dirty things!”
From Emperor Geos’ point of view, her nobles felt dirtier than Bianca’s.
“If not, will Your Majesty protect the slave?”
“Yes, I will protect you. Cut the heads of those who aim at you, and rip the limbs of those who frame false accusations against you.”
“I have to give up a lot in order to stay by your Majesty’s side. I will take all the price from You.”
“Didn’t I tell you? If there is anything you want, tell me.”
“Then, if Your Majesty can’t handle my greed, then what are you saying?”
“Everything in this empire belongs to me. Can’t you just listen to your wishes!”
Emperor Geos shouldn’t have said that.
Bianca smiled prettily at Emperor Geos’s words.
She finally has the emperor in her grasp.
