Chapter 231 – Reason (1)
*
Kerry left the room. The sincere conversation with Asmodeus’ subordinate was over.
The tidying up was done neatly with magic.
When I told the party about the story I had with the man, as expected, the party made the same guess.
It’s an outrageous plan.
Since I noticed this, I had no intention of staying silent.
Lina’s party busily prepared to stop Asmodeus’ plan.
In the meantime, time continued to pass. FYI, the princess returned to her brother her.
Kerry’s name her spread far and wide throughout the empire. She says Kerry is now as famous as her warriors.
Questions about why the emperor was invisible arose in various parts of the empire, and the story of the princess’s speech spread widely.
In the capital, people gather in front of the imperial palace every day.
To know the truth of the rumor that the emperor is dead.
“Your Majesty! Please shine your face on the civilians at least once!”
All of this would end when the emperor showed his face.
But a dead person couldn’t do that.
Once, on the side of Asmodeus, he disguised himself as the Emperor by magic.
Her brother’s performance quickly revealed that it was a fake.
Thanks to that, things are moving much faster.
For Kerry, who was watching all this, it was very burdensome.
“Things are getting bigger…”
Originally, becoming an emperor is grandiose. But knowing it in my head and actually facing it were completely different.
Lina’s party was resting after thoroughly preparing for Asmodeus’ plan.
Then a call came from her brother her.
To be precise, the brother’s secretary came.
Seeing that he sent the secretary directly rather than a message, it seems that the time has finally come.
“Kerry. I’m here to see you.”
I have memories with my brother’s secretary. I miss you At that time, I was really sorry for my brother.
Kerry said with a nonchalant expression.
“Is it about time?”
“Yes.”
All the preparations were finished by the brothers and Titania.
The brothers decided it was time for Kerry to surface. If it’s a brother’s judgment, you can trust it.
“What am I going to do?”
“You are revealing Kerry’s position her on the current imperial family in front of your subjects.
Don’t worry, I prepared the speech for you to read.”
“…I don’t like speeches.”
“Even if you don’t like it, you have to do it. I’ve prepared a carriage to go to the capital in advance.”
Lina and the others moved by carriage.
Looking at the faces of the party, it seems that Kerry is bewildered.
“Are you going to be the real emperor now?”
“It’s something I’ve heard before. It’s only now that I’m going to the capital that I can feel it.”
“If it’s my love, I have a feeling that the position of emperor of the empire is not enough.”
As usual, they are a chattering party in the carriage.
Something was bland It feels like nothing has changed from usual, but he became emperor.
But everything was not as usual.
The party pretended nothing was wrong, but there was a strange tension inside the carriage.
It was all because of the words the princess threw out. I’ll just go quietly.
[Kerry. Thank you for saving me once again.
We will wait for the time when our fruits bring peace to the Empire.]
[…The fruition?]
[Oh really. Our…Determination, marriage! If Kerry wants to be legitimized, she marry me …]
When the princess and Kerry were told that they should get married, the party went into a frenzy.
The party, in a hurry, insisted that if they didn’t like the princess, they would find a way so that she wouldn’t have to marry, but it was futile.
The princess blushed and replied:
[I want to marry Kerry!]
There was no uproar like that.
Because literally, the stone that rolled in might pull out the stone that was stuck in it.
Natasha said that she was the first thing she liked, and that she had to marry him, and she cried and cried.
The other members of the group also felt the same way.
“Yeah… I’ll talk to my brother about marriage. Don’t worry.”
Okay. There must be a way somehow.
In the end, after Kerry said that, the party calmed down.
However, the rice cake about marriage, which came to mind once, could not subside.
Victoria may have wanted everything at this time, but she raised her voice to convince everyone.
“Why on earth is there any reason for us to fight among ourselves!
We can be happy only when we abandon the selfishness to monopolize Kerry!”
Naturally, the party didn’t even listen.
Even now, everyone is laughing and talking about it, but the atmosphere that changes sharply when there is an issue related to Kerry is proof of that.
‘This is more troublesome than the issue of being crowned emperor…’
The noisy time passed, and we arrived at the capital before we knew it.
How much is the capital?
Is it the first time since I went to see the saintess?
Looking back at her, the saintess had a complex and subtle expression.
The saintess seemed to sense a gap between the Elena she knew and the real Elena.
Even in the middle of it, I didn’t want to go outside, so it was a little absurd that I was involved in the royal court.
The atmosphere of the capital upon arrival was also disturbed.
I saw countless people gathered in front of the imperial palace.
“Your majesty! Show me your face just once!”
“Your subjects are trembling with anxiety!”
The streets are full of people talking with serious faces.
The subject of the story was, of course, mostly about the imperial family.
The number of crimes in the capital also increased, and the public order suddenly deteriorated.
Said the brother’s secretary, who was guiding the way.
“Master said it was important to stabilize the subjects as soon as possible.
They are very worried that there may be a riot.”
“Then let’s start as soon as possible.”
“But I’m still ready…”
“If it’s a speech, I’ve seen enough of it on the way to the capital.”
“…”
“It would be better if there was another way other than an awkward speech like a speech.”
“Speech is necessary.
The subjects need someone they can trust and rely on now.”
Usually, the brothers’ secretary seemed to be united with a sense of duty.
She said, blushing as if she was embarrassed for some reason now.
“Yeah…But Kerry-sama. Could you please give me a little time?”
“Yes? Weren’t you in a hurry?”
“That… The speech is not yet complete.
I’ll have to do the gathering of the subjects… But I’m running out of time.”
As for the text of the speech, I have already corrected it more than ten times while I was there.
That was the number of revised speeches sent to Kerry, so the secretary alone must have corrected dozens of times.
“That’s enough.”
“No! Mr. Kerry. It’s still not enough. This is a moment that will go down in history.
I need a speech that touches her like a blow to the head!”
“What exactly is lacking?”
The secretary said with a stern face. Why are you more spleen than me, the person in charge?
“…I need a line that will go down in history as something that touches my heart.
That doesn’t come to mind for me.”
‘It’s a line that will go down in history…’
Kerry did know that one line that was clearly verified.
“… How about this?”
“?”
Kerry said, imitating her exasperated voice of hers.
“The empire practiced by the Emperor, of the subjects, by the subjects, and for the subjects, will never perish from this earth.”
Gettysburg Address.
We changed the most famous speech on Earth. I don’t know if this is even possible.
The secretary stared at Kerry in silence.
“If you don’t like it, would you do something else?”
It wasn’t just the era, but the worldview was different, so it might not have touched me very much.
It didn’t even matter anyway.
“… Not very much.”
“Okay?”
“Are you… Did you just think of this? That’s amazing… Kerry.
There must be a reason why Master praised Kerry so much…”
“…”
“I couldn’t come up with a word I liked after thinking about it for months… “
It’s fine if you like it, but I didn’t want to send you a burdensome look.
‘My conscience hurts…’
The light in the secretary’s room stayed on all night.
I spent the whole night tweaking the text of my speech to apply the inspiration Kerry had given me.
One week until Kerry’s speech.
The week passed quickly.
People fill the plaza of the imperial capital.
Looking at the way they dressed, there were people from far away places other than the capital.
How can rumors spread so quickly in a different world without social media?
Kerry had some quiet time alone in her room.
It’s to blow off the tension before the speech.
Then the witch came.
“Kerry. Are you okay?”
The witch had a worried face.
“I guess I was nervous. Seeing the worried face of the witch…”
“It seems like you’re not being flirtatious as usual these days.”
“If you’re flirting, are you talking about this?”
Kerry grabbed the witch’s ass.
The witch made her face turn red at the touch, and she said,
“What are you doing! What if someone sees it?”
“There is no one in the room right now.”
“Stop touching me!”
“Ugh. After all, touching the witch’s butt makes me feel much more comfortable.”
“If that’s the case…You can keep touching it…”
“…Witch. It was really cute just now!”
“Gwi, how cute! The original woman is a white witch!”
It was the moment when the witch was lovable and was about to shower her with kisses.
There was a knock at the door of the waiting room. A couple came It was fun for a while, but I’m sorry.
Kerry led them inside. Everyone came to support Kerry.
There were several words of encouragement, but they were not very necessary.
Just seeing the faces of the party made me feel at ease.
“Then I will go.”
“Kerry! You can! Be brave.”
“Kerry. There is no burden.”
“Your majesty! I will wait for you at the palace!”
Her party made more fuss than Kerry, who actually became the emperor. Kerry walked behind her party her.
I rode a carriage to the plaza where the crowd was gathering.
People’s faces pass by outside the wagon.
I can see the brothers and wizards who prepared this place.
I saw Titania and the elves who must have worked as hard as her brothers her.
In the front seat, I could see Lina and the others who were very nervous.
‘As expected, making a fuss was acting.’
In addition, I saw several people whom Kerry met on the continent.
Ellie and Madame are also seen.
There are even villagers who helped out around the continent.
It seems that everyone came after hearing the rumors. They are grateful people.
Kerry got out of her wagon and onto the platform.
It is a high platform, so the stairs are also high.
Every time she climbed the stairs, a feeling of pressure weighed down her body.
When Kerry stepped on the podium, the people who recognized him cheered.
A thunderous roar.
Those in power were not blinded to power.
There was something that made the back of my head thrill at the sight of a huge crowd at my feet.
“” Kerry! Kerry! Kerry!””
Kerry’s name rang in the plaza. Why are so many people burdened?
It’s a strange feeling.
It seems like yesterday that I lived as a refugee from another world from Earth.
‘I’m going to be emperor. I really still don’t get it.’
It would be nice to become emperor like this. However, greed did not make him emperor.
It’s not because of good morals, and it’s not for the public.
The reason Kerry wanted to become emperor was right in front of her eyes.
The reasons were watching Kerry with nervous faces. These are faces that are more tense than Kerry’s.
Kerry stepped onto the podium and opened his mouth.
“Citizens of the Empire. This is Kerry.”
