Chapter 974 – #99. Three Thousand Concubines and Emperor Gaiden (32)
Because of the Paladins, the war became a situation where we couldn’t eat as much as before, but we were still taking care of the victory.
The capital of the Geos Empire, approaching your nose.
There wasn’t much time left before he could see the face of Emperor Geos, who was hiding himself in the imperial palace.
“I won’t be able to die at this rate and I’ll win.”
The slightly troubling thing is that the war is turning in my favor because of my performance.
It’s the first time I’ve ever done it, so there’s trial and error, and then it’s hard to adjust the balance.
‘Just knocking down the Paladins. That was the wrong thing to do.’
Actually, the effect was good.
My skills improved dramatically, as if the knights felt something great when they saw me active on the battlefield.
Wouldn’t it be different between training to grow while burning up and exercising like a routine, even if you didn’t neglect practicing?
In addition, he figured out how to deal with the Paladins, so even if he couldn’t completely press down like me, it was a situation where he was able to deal with them.
‘It was a bit shocking for the knights to learn from the soldiers how to taunt their opponents, but…’
As long as he could beat the Paladins, it seemed that it didn’t matter if it was face-to-face.
Was it because of those changes?
As the paladins could not use a greater force than expected, the direction of the war unilaterally turned to our side.
And then what? Was this too much? It was the first time I thought of doing it.
‘The Paladins were the only chance to adjust the balance, but I passed it over too easily.’
I shouldn’t have done that.
I’m human too, so I like to win, and it’s hard to see my side get into trouble.
That’s why I used my strength to the point of crossing the line without even realizing it.
‘I have to restrain myself now, but there’s no justification for this.’
The temple and the Geos Empire must exert themselves.
Even so, there was no way these guys could be anything more than this.
‘There must be something. Hmm…’
Please bring me a crisis.
Geos and the temple needed to step up.
Of course, when the parties heard it, they were going crazy and the blood would flow backwards.
⁘ ⁘ ⁘
I seriously thought about the balance patch, and I decided to choose the easy way rather than the hard way.
An excuse I’ve already used once.
He took out the card called Reaction of Power again.
“Abama…”
Hearing the sad news that the emperor had collapsed, the crown prince hurriedly ran.
“How serious are you? Why didn’t you know that Obama was sick until she collapsed!”
“I’m sorry…”
“I can’t even get help from the priest, so what can I do… Do you know the cause of why you fell down?”
“You’ve done this before.”
“Have you ever collapsed before?”
“Yes, he said that he was suffering from aftereffects from the recoil because he used too much force at that time.
“Same? Doesn’t that mean you’re not sure!”
“I’m thinking of making a potion that boosts energy and stamina. I’m sure it was effective at that time as well.”
The only thing that is given to the fallen emperor is a medicine that replenishes your energy?
The ridiculous prince clicked his tongue.
“Is there really nothing else I can do?”
At this moment, I realize acutely why many countries have not even made a sound at the temple.
If there was a priest, there wouldn’t have been a need to stomp one’s feet in this situation.
Maybe the priest could have awakened Abamama right away.
It was impossible to leave Abamama blindly to therapists who had poor medical knowledge.
So the prince decided to call in the wizards.
“Your Majesty! You must not inform others of Your Majesty’s state of health.”
“Aren’t they the imperial mages? That should be fine.”
“What can wizards do to you?”
“Wouldn’t it be better than a healer who would at least incompetently make up energy pills?”
Rather, a wizard would know more about the human body than a healer.
They study various fields and explore studies, but among them, there is no study of the human body.
In addition, I heard that simple body suturing can be done with magic.
Even if it can’t cure the disease.
In the end, he summoned the wizard without breaking the prince’s opinion.
“I want you guys to take a look at Obama’s condition.”
“Those… The little ones are ignorant of the field of treatment…”
Obama said that he would support healers to lower the importance of priests, but haven’t they received any support yet?
I thought it would be better to show Abamama to the wizards.
However, even the wizards found it difficult to follow the prince’s orders.
Doesn’t knowing well about the human body mean that you can treat it well?
“Do something! Didn’t Obama collapse while working hard to protect you guys!”
Even the wizards couldn’t bear to refute those words.
Inevitably, the wizards began examining the emperor’s body.
All they could do was magically determine what the Emperor’s body was lacking.
But it was a lot better than therapists who couldn’t even figure out what they needed.
“Um…”
“Hmm…?”
“How is it? How is Obama?”
“You are healthier than you think.”
“You can’t wake up right now. Are you healthy?”
The prince’s face contorted.
The wizard said, wiping the cold sweat with his handkerchief.
“From our point of view, his energy was damaged, but he did not have any problems with his body.”
“If it’s just that your energy is damaged, why can’t you wake up?”
“I’m sorry to tell you…”
When the wizard couldn’t readily answer, the prince urged as if he was frustrated.
“It’s frustrating! Hurry up and tell me!”
“Do you know the beast that hibernates?”
“…Know.”
“This is how His Majesty’s physical condition currently feels. For a speedy recovery.”
Fearing that the Crown Prince would be offended by comparing His Majesty to the hibernation of beasts, another wizard intervened and explained further.
“Your Majesty is using a power unknown to the beliefs. So it is impossible for ordinary people like us to find out the cause. Your Majesty’s body doesn’t seem to lack anything, but your current condition may not be so.”
“After all, it’s impossible to figure out what’s wrong with Obama’s body.”
“Yes, it seems to us that he lacks energy, but we do not know what his majesty’s mysterious ability requires. We can only guess that he may have used up all of it and fell asleep to recover.”
Since it is God-given power, how can a creature in the middle of the day find out the source of that power?
The prince understood that this part was not the mage’s fault.
“Then, was it the proper treatment for the healers to use medicine to boost energy?”
“I don’t think there’s any other option other than that.”
“Yes… I think it will recover naturally over time.”
The wizards let out a sigh of relief when the prince didn’t get angry as much as they thought.
“After all, you can’t do anything and just watch. Can’t you guess when you’ll be able to wake up?”
“I’m sorry.”
There was nothing I could say for sure.
In the end, the crown prince had no choice but to send the wizards without any results.
“Your Majesty won’t wake up, so from now on the Crown Prince must lead us.”
“…!!”
And belatedly, the crown prince realized that he had to fill the vacancy of Obama.
The crown prince was able to enjoy the battlefield with confidence because there was Obama, who reliably protected his back.
But now, Obama was in a situation where he could not protect the crown prince.
Rather, now he had a heavy responsibility to protect the fallen father.
Knock-! And my heart sank.
There was a much bigger difference between having a guardian by your side and not having one.
“You want me to lead all these lives alone…?”
“Isn’t that what you’ve always been doing?”
The escort knight assigned by Obama looked at the crown prince with concern and gave advice.
“How can I completely fill the vacancy of Obama? Even if it’s just a war right now, if there’s no Obama, how will I deal with the Paladins?”
“The knights are working hard. They will do well.”
“They’re holding up well, but every time Obama steps in and finishes them off.”
It was easy to guess how big the vacancy at Obama was with a little thought.
As the prince’s complexion grew darker, the escort knight spoke urgently.
“The enemy will be suspicious when they see that you are not showing up even after losing the war.
“…That’s right. It’s also important not to inform the enemy of Abamama’s condition.”
The thought of stopping the army of the Geos Empire, which has formed an alliance with the temple without Obama, is depressing.
When Obama was around, it felt natural to win against them.
It was the first time the enemy had felt so frightening.
“The crown prince will be able to do it. His Majesty will believe it too.”
“I never thought I was scared when Obama was around. But when Obama collapsed, I suddenly felt afraid.”
“You will be able to overcome it.”
“Shouldn’t the nobles be informed of the situation of Obama?”
“To prevent agitation, it would be better if fewer people knew about it. At least it should not be known to the soldiers. But it won’t be easy to keep it a secret, even to the nobles.”
“We should be honest with the nobles and discuss it together. We should all join forces until Obama wakes up.”
That way you can stop the enemies.
Then, suddenly, the prince wondered how Obama could have endured such pressure.
“…Has Obama always felt this kind of pressure? It feels like his hamstrings are tingling even though he only has to hold on until he wakes up. He must have always been feeling this kind of pressure.”
What a pressure it is to be responsible for hundreds of thousands of lives.
Now I’m feeling the bone numb.
Of course, this pressure he is feeling now is nothing compared to Obama.
Even though he had admired Obama and vaguely wanted to follow in his footsteps, he was unaware of the fact that the position of emperor was such a heavy position.
“I can see how immature and stupid I’ve been.”
It may not be able to relieve Obama’s hardship even a little bit, but since he made people worry about him, there is no such thing as disrespectful filial piety.
The prince sighed and put a hand on his forehead.
Perhaps because of the shock, I could feel the heat on my forehead.
