Chapter 489 – 47. Soy! Visit!
+++
‘Rorna Sichae’, the head of the Countess ‘Sichae’ family and countess, was astonished at the sudden news.
It was that her ugly son was allowed to accompany the emperor.
Of course, it wasn’t like he became the emperor’s lover or concubine, but anyway, just being able to be by the side of this country, no, the emperor of the eastern continent, is a great honor for the family.
“Seo, could it be that the emperor’s taste was such a strange guy?”
She was so embarrassed that she even forgot her honorific her.
No matter how much he is a son, when viewed objectively, God is a failing grade as an aristocrat.
Would the emperor keep him by his side?
“Can I consider it an opportunity… ?”
It’s obviously a huge thing.
Even if you invite your acquaintances and hold a grand banquet, there will be no flaws.
However…
But something was ominous.
It was partly because of her ignorance of her and lack of concept to the point of destroying God’s common sense, but something about her kept getting caught in her senses of her.
‘Why are you so anxious? Are you afraid you might make a mistake…? It could be…’
She pondered for a while, then shook her head from side to side and shook her head.
“Fu… Now that it’s come this far, I have no choice but to believe in my son. Let’s trust him.”
She thought she was in the mood after all.
This is a great opportunity.
You can’t just worry about it and blow it away.
“I need to save some energy when Godou comes.”
She promised so.
But…
God never came back…

“Did you hear the news?”
“…Yes.”
The nobles gathered together and talked.
Their expressions should have been diverse as there were quite a lot of people gathered, but all those gathered here had a miserable face.
The reason is not different.
Because of soy
“It’s still at a weak level, and we can’t help but consider the situational aspect…But that’s definitely not good news.”
A news that is circulating around high-ranking nobles.
A guy called ‘The Emperor’s Truth’, witnessed by some nobles and knights, was driving a silent typhoon.
“Haha…”
“That’s true… After all blood can’t be fooled.”
A lament came out from here and there.
If Soyi hid his disposition his and became emperor like Seorae did in the past, and if he wanted to reveal it now, all the nobles here now had thoughts of quitting politics and returning to their hometowns.
To that extent, the footprint that Seorae left in the aristocratic society was great.
A great power that cannot be resisted.
The imperial family of the Mei Empire was like that.
A wall that nobility can never stand against.
Besides, now is the time when the power of the nobility is weaker than ever before.
During the 21st year of Seorae, countless nobles perished, and in the last temple, countless soldiers of noble families were conscripted, lost their lives, and robbed of an enormous amount of military funds.
Of course, in return, some kind of interest was obtained, and there was no great damage because it was a great victory in the first place, but it took at least several decades to recover its original power.
What if a tyrant like Seorae appears again in such a situation?
At that time, it is best to give up all resistance and return to the hometown to aim for the next generation.
“According to those who witnessed it, it could be worse.”
“More, worse…?”
“It’s a ‘guess’ to the end, but… Judging from the expression on which he smiled happily while inflicting pain, he said it was highly likely.”
“Then isn’t it a bigger deal. Oh my God, such a sadist emperor.”
Absolutely terrible.
I don’t even want to think about it.
“The good thing is, however, that there are no noticeable signs yet. That was the only time he’d deviated like that, and so far there have been no problems.”
“Again, we don’t know. Maybe we just didn’t find it…”
“…Then it gets serious.”
The aristocrats imagined the worst case and began to devise countermeasures.
Even so, it was to the point of not disturbing Soyi for the time being.
After debating that topic for a while, they soon brought up another issue.
“By the way. Didn’t His Majesty say that he would go to Persia this time?”
“It was.”
“He has already ordered to prepare, and he has handed over state affairs to some of the prime ministers…But I can’t figure out why.”
“I agree with you. You said you wanted to deal with the problem quickly and clear your mind… But even a novice in politics can understand that there may be other purposes besides that.”
It is not normal for the emperor to move.
It is even more unusual to visit a foreign country.
It is a very cumbersome task for the state, but it is also a burdensome for the person who moves it, so it does not work well unless there is a clear and definite purpose.
However, Soi said he would visit Persia because he wanted to clear his mind.
If you take this literally, she’s a definite newbie in politics.
“Stop, no way…!”
A noble exclaimed in astonishment.
Everyone’s eyes were focused.
“What’s going on? Did you think of something?”
She stiffly turned her head. It was like the movement of a golem.
“..Isn’t His Majesty the First Emperor in Persia?”
“That’s right. But that’s something…… Huh?!”
The aristocrat who nodded her head as if that was a problem, was shocked and broke into a cold sweat.
At this point, the impatient nobles rushed in.
“What the hell is it! What are you doing!”
The enlightened nobleman opened his mouth, drawing horror on her face.
“Assuming that His Majesty has a similar temperament to the Emperor, what is the reason for going to Persia, where the Emperor is located?”
“Yeah…”
“Huh…!”
Quite a few nobles exclaimed.
I thought he was gentle, but in fact, if Soi (family), who is as violent as Seorae, goes to meet Seoorae, who is literally a model of a tyrant, there will be only one answer.
“…It’s still the first year since His Majesty ascended the throne. The massacre of the nobles that His Majesty first perpetrated for the first time also happened sometime after the first year. Maybe…”
Gulp
“Maybe you’re trying to get advice on that…!”
“!!”
The nobles all broke out in a cold sweat.
If it’s really like that, your neck could fall off at any time.
Nobles whom Soyi thinks or Seorae thinks are stumbling blocks will be decapitated without remorse.
The aristocratic massacre that occurred in the first year of Seorae will happen again!!
“That, that kind of thing should never…Never happen!”
“Of course it is. But will that be our way?”
They trembled and devised countermeasures.
If it’s really like that, you have to get the timing right.
“For now, let’s watch… What Your Majesty is doing in Persia… Let’s take a closer look.”
She told me something about Gord, saying that there was one guy who could be useful.
One of the main characters of the gossip.
This time, it was Yeongsik who was allowed to be by the emperor’s side.
“Let’s get information from him. Our lives are at stake!”
The nobles all nodded.
“If…If Your Majesty has a disposition similar to that of His Majesty the Elector…I will give up politics and return to my hometown.”

A few days later.
News of Soi reached Aran’s ears in Persia.
What an amazing thing to visit Persia with the body of an emperor!
He immediately went to see Illyana.
“Yes. They’re coming soon.”
It was a puzzled face that she couldn’t understand either.
It wouldn’t be an ordinary thing as long as the emperor moved, but he couldn’t figure out the intention at all.
‘I’m sure you’re not here because you want to be embraced by me quickly…’
Other than that, the odds of that happening are zero.
The woman who hated Aran so much can’t change her attitude her now.
“Well, don’t take it too seriously. Her mother is here, and her sister is also here. I could have come here to take care of work and to see her family her.”
“Is that so…?”
“Or what… You’ll find out in a few days.”
She was very cool
She seemed to be telling me to come and see.
But. She is a woman who even said she would marry Aran.
She won’t have to worry about that now.
