Chapter 376 – 38. Generation Change (?)
+++
“Whoah~~.”
Seorae yawned long after finishing the overdue work over several days.
Every day was a series of sighs, probably because it had been a long time since I had done a boring job.
“I need to get the upper hand soon.”
“What nonsense! Not even 50 now!”
Soi, who was next to him, screamed at first.
“Come on. Others even kill their own mother in order to ascend the throne somehow, but why do you refuse? I’m not going to go that far, but imitate it.”
“What is your mother going to say? Hurry up and do something.”
“I’m done.”
“While doing that, it piled up more, so take care of that too.”
“… Ah… Annoying. Do you have to torture a pregnant woman like this?”
Seorae whined and stroked her stomach.
It was so obvious now that anyone could say she was pregnant.
“Really… I really hoped….”
Soi is indignant at that appearance.
Seorae, who usually lives lightly, still had some hope, but it collapsed without a doubt.
“Ah~ I want to rest comfortably like the women, right? Do you think so too?”
Seorae, who strokes her belly and makes a provocation that is not a provocation.
From Soi’s point of view, it was really difficult to understand the other sister.
At least, it would be so if she had conceived with a normal (?) Man through affection, but Aran, who is called a rare horse.
“Hehe. He says so too.”
“Shut up.”
“At this point, our So Yi will become the 101st emperor. What do you think?”
“I don’t like it.”
“Why don’t you like it? I’m not happy that others can’t.”
“Don’t compare yourself with others. Who would want to be emperor like this?”
“Innumerable people.”
“Ugh… Really!”
Soi shuddered and was angry.
She could n’t understand her words her at all.
In the past, it was ‘at least’ normal, but these days it feels like it’s getting weirder and weirder.
Seorae pretended to have a serious expression on her face.
“Can you handle me?”
“… What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“I am the child’s woman now. Can you handle a day like this?”
“Seriously, don’t say that. Because I am really scared.”
What other bizarre things are you going to do!
“Anyway, this mother’s wish is for you to become a great emperor.”
“If you want your child to become a great emperor, why don’t you become great first?”
“I don’t say a word for fear that someone might not be my daughter.”
“Huh.”
Soyi made many nags with a pouty face.
If anyone sees her, she thinks Soyi might be her mother her.
However, she soon got tired of herself and left her room, leaving only Seorae inside her.
“Um….”
She opened a letter from her that she had received a while ago.
The letter, which no one else could see, contained her absurd yet impossible content her, which made even her goosebumps goosebumps.
It was a plan to form a new alliance centered on Aran and unify the entire continent by utilizing his overwhelming ability and its parts his.
The author is Ayla, of course.
As I told Aran beforehand, I sent a letter directly to the emperor of the East Empire, Seorae.
“It’s not impossible, but….”
It wasn’t a very specific plan, but there were some details written down.
The countries to which it belongs are the Mei Empire and its three dependents, and the Persian Empire and its subordinates.
It is very concise in terms of sentences, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that the area within it is the entire eastern continent.
First of all, the Mei Empire alone occupied 80% of the eastern continent.
After creating an alliance like that, Aran stands at the head as a ‘god’, and the concept is that the two emperors are located below him. Of course, the great king who became vacant was selected separately.
“Then did you eat the East and Central Continents? There will inevitably be friction with the West Continent.”
Through the holy war, the central continent was divided into the territory of the Mei Empire and the Great Kingdom. The territory of the great kingdom was much closer to Pergamum, the road to the western continent, but it does not mean much because it is one country anyway.
If you want, it will become a platform where you can wage a great war.
“First… I need to have a proper talk with the kid.”

The investigation, which lasted about a month, was written as a report and sent to Goryeo.
It was transmitted at high speed using a fast ship called Baeseonseon, and it was soon delivered to the Goryeo Imperial Palace and Wang Hye.
“Hmm.”
As the Great Kingdom announced earlier, Wang Yi coveted Aran’s wife, and Wang So had a weakness for him.
That it all turned out to be true.
Wang Hye sighed deeply.
It’s part of the plan, but even so, it can’t be painful.
In any case, you will have to formally apologize and pay compensation.
“Yes?”
Then one sentence came out loud.
It was that Wang Xi had obtained a potion rain scroll through negotiations.
“Your Majesty, what… Do you have any content?”
“Well….”
She had a conflicted face.
It’s nothing else, it’s a potion lane.
Also by scrolling.
According to the original plan, Wang Hee and Bae Sang would go to Aran as her concubine.
Of course, since Wang So is a criminal, he will hand over his personal affairs along with the demotion of his status.
If that happens, her favorite third princess, Wang Yul, will naturally inherit the throne.
She also has 4 princesses, but she is somehow weak.
However, her determination her was shaken when she said that she was attracting Potion Lane.
Wang Yul has extraordinary talent, but she may have something in Wang Hui that she has not seen herself.
‘Well… I’m worried.’
“Your majesty….”
“According to Hui’s report, the claim of the Great Kingdom is true. The king coveted the king’s wife, and So-ah was poisoned by the king’s sura.”
“That, like that….”
The nobles were agitated.
In particular, the aristocrats who had been pushing Wang So and Wang Hee stood up like mad.
“Your majesty! Something Wrong is Coming! Princess, why would Her Highness her do such a thing!”
“So you mean Hee-ah’s investigation was wrong?”
“It’s not like that, it’s the domain of the Great King. He can do whatever he wants, so there must have been some wicked scheme.”
“It fits. Perhaps, the Great King may be using force to intimidate His Highness His.”
Then the nobles who supported Wang Yul came out against it.
“It’s scary. No matter how foreign it is, a king is a king. Would he do something so ungrateful?”
“Even if you are a king now, you come from a humble commoner. Besides men. He wouldn’t have the dignity of a king we are familiar with, and if he did, where did all the countless nicknames that represent him now come from?”
“Even so, Her Highness her Wang Xi is a clever person. Would you fall for some lowly trick?”
“We push through force and military force, then what is impossible?”
“Are you doubting Your Highness Wang Xi’s ability now?”
“Isn’t that what you mean?”
“Your Majesty, this is a very important matter. Due to the use of large military forces, the country has been devastated, and the people are starving. If military tension arises again in this situation, we will not be able to endure it any longer. Please consider the lives of the grassroots and see an amicable solution.”
“No, Your Majesty! Even if a conflict arises, if it is for a legitimate reason, you must confront it. Even if the claim of the great kingdom is true, it is not possible to punish Her Highness the Princess and the Prince of a country at will! For this, we must rescue Her Highness along with a definite punishment.”
Nobles ostensibly fought for the interests of the country and the interests of the people, but in reality they fought hard only for their own interests.
It was only because she was in front of her her emperor that the melee had n’t broken out, and if it was n’t for her, she looked like she would draw her sword at any moment.
“I haven’t told you everything yet.”
“… What if?”
“The matter was investigated as it was, and on the other hand, it is said that the potion rain scroll was obtained through negotiations.”
“Yes, yes?”
“Potion lane… Scroll?”
The chairman grew again.
This time, even Wang Yul opened his mouth slightly as if he was quite surprised.
“Potion lane…”
“It scrolls too?”
“No, is that even possible? To make a potion lane with a scroll….”
While opinions were divided, aristocrats who supported Wang Hee came out.
“Your Majesty, since Your Highness Wang Xi has accomplished great feats, I think it is first for us to return to our country and find out the exact situation.”
“Is that really true?”
“What?”
“With all due respect, Your Majesty, a scroll is not such an easy thing to do. Even in order to create a 3-tier scroll, it is impossible without the full assistance of the Mage Tower, and the potion lane comes with transcendental magic that exceeds 7 tier. Would it be possible to create such magic with a scroll?”
“Then, did His Highness Wang-hee tell a lie just now?”
“I hope so. I know better than anyone that he is clever and honest.”
“Then….”
“But you may not know. Your Highness is a person who is proficient in various studies and martial arts. Knowledge of magic is relatively low. This means that even if you just draw a formula that is plausible, you can be fooled enough.”
“So you mean that the great king made a fake scroll?”
“It is, Your Majesty. There’s no way it would be possible to make a scroll, and even if it were possible, there’s no reason to make one. Perhaps it is still unresolved, so it may have been drawn with impure magic.”
“… I am of the same opinion, mother.”
“Wangyul.”
“It’s heartbreaking, but Wang Yi and Wang So have caused a lot of trouble. Since he coveted the king’s wife and even tried to ride the aphrodisiac on himself, his anger would surely reach the sky. I can’t believe that in a situation like this, a precious potion lane is created with a scroll.”
“It doesn’t.”
“Ha, but Your Highness! It is not yet clear whether Her Highness her Wang Yi and Her Highness Wang So really did such a thing!”
“As you know and as I know, Unni Wang Hui is a capable person. She is not one to fall for trivial tricks or flattery. She is even more susceptible to the pressure of force. And even from the point of view of the great kingdom, it is a considerable burden to punish the Goryeo prince and princess. Nevertheless, the fact that he did so meant that he had a motive. Wouldn’t he be motivated enough if he and his wife had a disturbing experience?”
“Then….”
Noble realized.
That the truth doesn’t matter.
Logical loopholes are not a problem. The only thing that matters is justification and practicality.
Wang Hye and Wang Yul are full of thoughts of abandoning the rest of the royal family.
“Oh… No, Your Majesty. It seems that appeasing the Great King is the priority here. Apart from national power, he has a military force that cannot be ignored by himself, so I am afraid that he might be harmed.”
