Chapter 833 – Day 96 – The Princess Causes a Miracle
“Are you sure you don’t mind? We are prepared to help in any way possible.”
As soon as the princess saw Sabas and Princess Kaguya talking in her treatment room, she walked out with a happy heart.
As soon as the door closed, the Overseer spoke with a very worried expression, and the princess lightly laughed and smiled.
“What are you worried about? With you and Ceres here, how could there be a problem?”
“It’s obvious.”
“I guess I’ll have to borrow Arisa’s power as well. Let’s use as much power as we can. I think we’ll have to use the demon’s skills as well, so let’s borrow as much as we can.”
“Yes, we will do our best to help you.”
The princess bent down and lightly tapped Ceres’ shoulder with her hand.
“Now that we know exactly who Princess Kaguya and her lords are, sorting out this situation will not be a difficult task.”
“… You really use whatever power is available to you.”
It was the Overseer who looked at the princess with eyes similar to those of Ceres and spoke her words.
“If we can save even a little more people, shouldn’t we look at things and methods from a different perspective again and again? Not even trying on a subject that has power is the worst thing to do.”
“You are truly someone who could be called the god of a new era.”
The question of why a great demon like Vergilia was serving as the princess’ servant was naturally resolved, and the Overseer was able to gain a little hope.
* * *
Civil wars in eastern countries have become very natural these days.
The monarchs who had calmly maintained their positions despite Princess Kaguya’s mediation showed no signs of ending the civil war, so they had no choice but to increase their power or increase their size in order to protect themselves.
They were no different from being thrown into the wild. Not all of them were caught up in a civil war to satisfy their great and greedy desires.
Obviously, someone would have drawn the sword to become the emperor of the east, but someone would have drawn the sword to protect their family and the people they could see.
“In the end, this is what happened. Has the general vacated the tower yet?”
Behind the monarch with a long pure white beard, there were numerous soldiers who followed him.
He was the monarch who ruled the area closest to the tower that reached the moon.
“They say they haven’t heard from me since they went to the Great Plains. I don’t even know why they went in the first place…”
“If Princess Kaguya hadn’t stayed silent for so long, she wouldn’t have had to ask the general to lend her soldiers!”
“Isn’t it inevitable? Over the past few years, the princess has not been able to bring peace to this land!”
“It’s a profane statement, but it’s not wrong.”
Despite the words of his energetic subordinates, the monarch, who could be called an old man, just sighed deeply.
‘I came all the way here to protect the tower that reached the moon.’
He did not regret his choice. In a situation where there were no shortages even in the era of military leaders, he decided to make the best choice as a monarch who served the princess.
Since he was not a demon, and he was not a greedy monarch, he intended to stop those who would try to control the kingdom of the east by taking the princess into their hands.
‘Princess. Please forgive this old man for leading a group of insignificant people, and not other strong people.’
Even though he felt frustrated with his aging body and his weak army, the old man touched the edge of the high wall.
At the end of the horizon, with the beautiful mountain range as the background, there were countless armies whose numbers were difficult to count.
“You came all the way here from a long, long way.”
“Once you get a tower that can reach the moon, there is nothing on this earth that you can’t do.”
The old man nodded his head at his subordinates’ words. The old man thought he would die on this spot today.
The Tower that Reaches the Moon is where Princess Kaguya and the Moon Clan live, so there was a castle with splendid walls. How long will I be able to endure if I defend this castle?
The old man was worried because this had never happened before in history, but he intended to remain loyal.
“… If I had been able to see the princess, I would have had no regrets.”
“It can’t be helped.”
The young generals who were blaming Princess Kaguya spoke with determined expressions.
“We’re just doing the right thing here today.”
“That’s right, my lord! Princess Kaguya is also sick and can’t wake up, but she doesn’t criticize our actions.”
Haha, I can’t tell if you like the princess or hate her.”
The monarch laughed. Even though he was like a candle in front of a raging storm, he still wasn’t afraid.
Even though he saw the pitch-black army filling the horizon and slowly starting to fill the field, he was not scared.
Because there is Princess Kaguya in the tower that touches the moon. Because there was someone here on this earth who could tell you the most correct way.
─Bbabam, paaaaam.
“Ugh…”
The soldiers guarding the castle walls furrowed their eyebrows at the loud sound of horns coming from afar.
There were so many soldiers blowing their trumpets that it hurt my ears even though the distance was quite far.
“Monarch! Monarch!”
“Don’t be in a hurry. We won’t be able to easily take down our position on the castle wall.”
“That’s not it! My lord! Look at the sky!”
At the young general’s words, the old monarch looked up at the sky.
The sky, which seemed like the sunset was slowly fading, had already turned pitch black.
“Has the time already come this far?”
“No. Look at the moon! My lord! It’s suddenly night!”
It was a strange thing, but the monarch could not believe his eyes. A twinkling star suddenly appeared in the sky, and the full moon, emitting pure white light, occupied the center of the sky.
That was something that didn’t change no matter how much I rubbed my eyes or blinked.
“No way… Princess Kaguya?”
The monarch looked at the tower reaching the moon with a bewildered expression.
Before I knew it, the end of the tower that reached the moon was wide open. The pure white door, which had been closed until now, was pulled left and right and opened.
Even the soldiers who were filling the field stopped at the appearance of the princess, seen in the light of the beautiful moon.
─♬
The monarch closed his eyes at the faint sound of a flute coming from the end of the tower.
“Ahh, princess…”
He shed tears of admiration and fell to his knees without realizing it.
“Great Princess Kaguya! The monarch of Hebei has come here to protect his loyalty!”
At the old man’s shout, a cluster of twinkling lights was created in the tower.
“Lords who rule over all the people, listen! I, Princess Kaguya, command you to stop pointing the spears and swords aimed at the people who were originally your neighbors from this moment on!”
Like a thunderclap, Princess Kaguya’s voice truly reached every corner of the eastern country.
“Trust your neighbors, trust the people who support you! Trust me, who can soothe your suffering and suffering!”
As the princess’s voice rang out once more, most people knelt down and looked at the princess, radiating pure white light.
“What now…!”
The monarch standing on the horizon bit his lip.
“What do you mean, Princess Kaguya? What can you do other than radiate light like that and say nice things!”
He clenched his fist.
“For us who came this far, nothing has been resolved. We worked hard, so if we tell you to pack your bags and go back to your hometown, do you think you’ll go back!”
The monarch, who thought he had been insulted, pointed at the surrounding generals.
“Everyone! What are you doing? I mean, move now! Don’t you know that only if that handsome Princess Kaguya comes into our hands will our family, who has been starving for years, be able to eat well!”
The soldiers, including the generals, nodded at the words of the monarch, who was shouting loudly.
“Yes, that’s right? If we go on like this, there will be nothing.”
“We’re not just doing this because we’re grumpy!”
“I can’t live a life of digging up tree roots again!”
They reached out to pick up the weapon they were about to drop.
When they got up from their seats, they could see that the dark sky until just now had suddenly changed into a bright day with a beautiful sun rising.
“What is this…”
They were surprised by the sudden change of day and night and looked at the place where Princess Kaguya had been.
“Those of you who still doubt Princess Kaguya’s words, listen! I am Venus Holympia! Your royal family, who have come here for the first time in a thousand years, promise!”
As the princess’s voice sounded more powerful than Princess Kaguya’s, the monarch held the weapon in her hand tightly.
In his heart, where he thought there would be no such thing as hope, hope began to bloom of its own accord in his heart that had dried up a long time ago.
This happened for the first time in a thousand years. A miracle happened. As a human being, I had no choice but to have the feeling that a miracle might happen to me right now.
“You will no longer starve! Your beloved brothers and sisters, and your parents, will never even have to suspect that you are a demon! That! Me! I, who came here after a thousand years! Venus Holympia promises! “
“Anyone can make such a promise as they please…”
The monarch, who was muttering at the princess’s words, moved his eyes at the reactions of the soldiers and generals who were beginning to feel agitated.
“O, my lord! My lord!”
“There’s something you need to see! You need to check it out!”
When the soldiers who were making a fuss split to the left and right to give way, the monarch walked forward, unable to hide his bewilderment.
“Everyone is acting so arrogantly, thinking that there is some power in a promise made by a girl from Holympia…”
He was angry and panicked when he realized the presence standing in front of the soldiers.
“General Sabas? How can you…”
“Our Crown Princess Nauri doesn’t make meaningless promises. What do you think?”
Savas smiled and pointed behind himself. There was a cart there. A huge amount of goods was piled on the cart brought by Ceres and prepared by Tsuyuya as best he could from the demons of the Great Plains.
“Let’s take bribes like this…”
“What do you mean by bribe? These are food and clothes that everyone can eat right now.”
Savas smiled and walked up to the cart, opened one of the boxes he could see, took out a bright red ripe apple, and took a bite.
“This is not the only thing. We also have food prepared that will last you a long time even when you return to your hometown.”
“Huh, why are you giving this to us?”
“It was because I was hungry, right?”
Sabas smiled.
“You people here didn’t say that you hated Princess Kaguya or that you were planning to plot evil, plunder, fight, and become the emperor of the East, right?”
“… Then the princess…”
“If the fault lies with me for making you starve until now. You say that if I have to cut your necks, I should cut my own neck, and if I want to hang your head, I should hang my own head on the tower.”
At the words of General Sabas, the monarch who had led the army from his far-off hometown to the tower reaching the moon fell to his knees.
“Ah, ahhh… Seong-eun… Grace… Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, princess…”
You don’t have to starve anymore. There is no need to live with someone’s blood on your hands.
He truly shed tears at the fact that the terrible civil war and the era of chaos were now over.
“I really did something ridiculous. I hope the Crown Princess gets better.”
Savas, with an expression of sincere admiration, looked at the princess who was talking intently at the end of the tower reaching the moon with her sincere eyes.
“I don’t know what it means to be the god of a new era, but I think I can do it as Crown Princess Naeuri.”
