Chapter 727 – Day 82 – The Emperor Said
“Abama, how did someone who doesn’t even have time to get up from the throne come here?”
The princess spoke, trying to control her emotions that threatened to explode as best as she could.
“My daughter, Venus.”
Emperor Jupiter opened his mouth in a gruff voice that conveyed unpleasant darkness, and lifted Minos, who was bowing his head, by the shoulder with a very satisfied expression.
The sense of discomfort she felt from his touch made the princess truly uncomfortable. No, she wasn’t the only princess in a bad mood. No one felt good about the emperor’s actions, treating living beings and even people like puppets or tools.
“You have indeed prepared an interesting variable.”
“The girl is not deaf.”
The princess, who raised her blade and spoke, looked up again at the person she had been looking up to since her childhood.
“It’s been quite a while since Agrippa had this level of possibility.”
The princess clenched her molars and clenched her fists.
“A long time ago, ever since you were born, I have never had the feeling of anticipation…”
As Emperor Jupiter continued his words, he looked at Minos from top to bottom with eyes radiating pure white light.
He was smiling. The princess found it absurd. I had never seen the emperor smile before in my life. He was always emotionless and did not make any facial expressions to the point where you wondered if he was a living person.
The princess, who had gone through so many things as an adult, looked at it now and all she saw was that she was not interested. Emperor Jupiter just felt no interest, joy, or emotion in the numerous things happening in this world.
“This girl can try something new.”
“Abama, I think you already know this, but may I tell you something?”
She did not draw the magic sword or aim her sword, but the princess’s words had sharp fangs.
“Minos is the child of me and Hedone.”
“Do you think I don’t know that?”
“Minos is my daughter who inherited my blood. This means that I am Minos’ parent.”
The emperor closed his eyes and let out a very small laugh.
“Venus…”
“Yes, Abama.”
“So, wouldn’t it be a variable that can be expected even more? Didn’t the life that was just starting to grow inside the womb bloom before us as it matured and produced fruit that it couldn’t normally bloom?”
The princess, who had goosebumps all over her body, calmly swallowed her saliva and opened her mouth again.
“Minos is neither a flower born to bear her fruit, nor a fruit to be eaten.”
“You are truly speaking foolishly, Venus.”
Emperor Jupiter looked down at Minos in her hand and smiled.
“See. Feel. This woman’s potential.”
The emperor points his finger at Minos’ body.
“Look at this girl. Hasn’t she inherited the blood of the royal family? She can truly be said to be the purest girl.”
“Abama…”
“It seems that the Hedone I created has functioned perfectly. Its embryo has the power to make our blood purer and greater. The possibility was close to 100%, but as expected, she was born a bitch. It couldn’t be said to be perfect.”
The emperor, holding Minos up like a tool, continues his words.
“Even if we were to become a successor with such shortcomings, if we had eternity, we could continue to purify our blood. However, there was a reason why I did not bet the fate of all things on this plan.”
“What kind of crazy things are you talking about?”
“Venus. Look at this world with those misty eyes. Our royal family now has only one chance. However, this girl who inherited your blood and was born from the embryo of the best seedling has an opportunity that cannot exist. It looks like it was created once again.”
The princess barely realized what Emperor Jupiter had said and smiled bitterly.
And clenched her fist. Her fingernails were digging into her palms so much that blood was flowing out.
“Abama, did you really mean what the girl thought you meant?”
“Venus, after traveling through the flow of time, have you gained knowledge?”
The princess was surprised to learn that the emperor already knew about time travel, which she had never mentioned, but that was not important right now.
“Do you think the girl doesn’t know?”
“Tell me, foolish daughter. Haven’t you been good at anything except disappointing me for over 20 years?”
The princess, feeling instinctively displeased with the gaze of the gigantic being looking down on her, opens her mouth with her fist still clenched.
“Minos became emperor. He inherited her power through heinous methods handed down from the royal family.”
It was Hedone who was most surprised by the princess’s answer.
‘It can’t be said that it is a heinous act… My God, even though the princess knows that…’
Hedone, feeling the burning pain in his throat, grasped the waist of Ceres, who supported him. Ceres knew very well what her princess was talking about.
“It seems like the endless flow of time has given you a little wisdom to see the world.”
The emperor laughed, and the princess suppressed her anger.
“Yes, it is as you said. Minos Holympia, this woman ate your heart from the distant future. A new emperor was born who could never exist again.”
“Sorry, ugh, ugh!”
Minos, unable to deny Jupiter’s words, let out her pained breath. Minos was strangely unable to move her body at all.
“Look, Venus. We have obtained a new seedling that is infinitely closer to the old god. How strong will the royal family born from its embryo be.”
“Are you crazy?”
“Wouldn’t he definitely be the most perfect successor if he were a member of the royal family? It may need some refinement, but this is truly an excellent variable.”
The princess burst into laughter briefly.
“In that case, Abama, are you planning to use Minos, who went back in time to find me, as a tool to create the perfect successor?”
“It is a fate that you have brought upon yourself. Do not be swayed by your emotions. If you can protect all things by giving up a few of the woman’s limbs and body, isn’t it a wise and efficient transaction indeed?”
As soon as the short conversation was over, the princess grabbed the magic sword stuck on the ground.
She pulled out the bright red flame and made it spit out bright blue flames, and without the slightest hesitation, she sharply swung it towards Emperor Jupiter’s neck.
“You are slow! My disappointing daughter!”
─Kaang!!!
The emperor’s spear appeared faster than her lightning and struck down the princess’s sword. Her body moved back slightly, and Princess Jin adjusted her posture again and swung her sword. Kang! Kaang! Emperor Jupiter had to defend himself only with Minos in his hands, but it was enough.
Unlike the princess, who wielded a sword desperately with both hands, the emperor played with her very simply, holding a spear with her left hand, which she was not used to.
“Venus Holympia. For over 20 years, you have simply shown yourself to be disappointing and pathetic over and over again.”
“Abama, after all, you don’t know anything!”
Swinging her flame-spewing sword with all her might, the princess steps forward. But more than that, she had to fall back just in the nick of time as her spear swung at a speed that was invisible to her eyes.
“Are you planning to appeal to me about useless emotions again?”
“I don’t know, Abama, but you don’t know much. Why do you think Minos can inherit the power of the god that I have! The power of the royal family?!”
In fact, even the princess does not know the truth.
Because she did not see the situation with her own eyes, the princess had no idea what had happened.
But who is she? Even if 10 or 20 years pass, Venus Holympia is still Venus Holympia.
“Useless!”
“Ugh! Ugh…! You really don’t know! It’s because I loved Minos!”
The princess threw away her sword, spewing out her flames, and stretched out her hands to the sky. She quickly snatched up the fallen bow like a sparkling meteor shower and shot out a pure white light, but that was just a cute prank played by a child standing in front of the emperor.
“How can a guardian who is supposed to protect all things be so swayed by emotions?”
“What does someone who has no love for all things and only sees efficiency and results do?”
“I’ve learned nothing except holding the horse by its tail!”
Jupiter’s spear, which emits a flashing light, pierces the princess’s heart in an instant.
“Ho…”
“… I won’t let it happen to me twice.”
It was Ceres who momentarily blocked the spear. Her scythe, emitting five-colored light, accurately blocked the spear swung by the emperor. However, it was not physically thrown away.
The magical power emanating from the spear narrowly prevented the spear from inflicting fatal wounds. Thankfully, the princess did not die instantly. Her clothes, which she was wearing, caught fire in an instant, reducing them to nothing more than a piece of cloth, worse than her rags. She couldn’t even breathe for a moment due to the terrible pain rising from her heart.
“Ugh… Ceres, huh, get away from Abama…”
The emperor burst out laughing and pulled out the spear. Ceres’ magical power was nothing in front of the omnipotent monster.
“Know that it is no mercy for me not to kill you here.”
“Ugh… Ugh!”
“You’re not even worth having blood on your hands. Dirty bitch.”
In an instant, the emperor grabbed Ceres by her scythe, grabbed her by the collar, and threw her body on the ground like trash.
“Ugh, ugh! Ceres!”
The princess, who had no choice but to throw away the weapon in her hand, ran and caught Ceres’ body with her two hands, wearing a dress that looked worse than rags.
“You are truly weak.”
“Are you crazy? Minos is my daughter!”
“Know why you were born.”
“A father does not decide why a child is born! No matter how much Abama says I am a failure, I have not failed!”
After venting her anger, the princess stands up and hugs Ceres.
“Minos is my daughter. I am saying that she is an extraordinary child who created the miracle of time travel in order to receive the love from her parents that she did not receive. Such a child, such a daughter!!! Abama can only see it as a means to create a new child. Are you coming?”
“You are truly speaking foolish and foolish words, Venus.”
The emperor lifted Minos in her hand once more and shook it as if he were ringing a bell.
“Think of the perfect successor that will be born from this woman’s womb. If we refine this woman, in whom the power of God has bloomed, just a little, we can endure endless failures a thousand times, ten thousand times.”
“Abama!!!”
“If this girl can do what I can’t do, you will be able to do it. If you can’t do it, the next one will have a slightly higher probability than us to try to create a perfect successor. What a wonderful opportunity this is.” Is it true?”
“What exactly is the act of creating a child in Abamama’s eyes?! Is it nothing more than countless trials and errors to create the perfect successor?!”
“All the variables are aligned! Isn’t there now no need to fear destruction given the infinitely limited opportunities we have been given?”
The princess bit her molars. How worthless is the claim of one without her power. The princess felt her stomach turn over at her own helplessness.
“Rejoice.”
The emperor declared, lifting the spear in her hand.
“My foolish daughter.”
The father speaks as he points her weapon, which emits flashing light, at her daughter.
“Today is the day you become the Crown Princess.”
“How crazy is that?”
“Strive for the future of the empire where the sun never sets. To become the protector of all things, I will definitely create the future to prevent destruction.”
Lightning struck from the sky and struck the princess. The princess couldn’t even shake her fingers due to the pain that made it impossible for her to even breathe.
“Listen, Crown Princess. Refrain from all actions until the vessel is fully prepared and prepare to create the perfect successor.”
