Chapter 255 – Are You Dissatisfied?
The entrance to the grand hall slowly opens.
Everyone in the grand hall focused their attention on that.
‘Already? When I was contacted before the meeting started, I was told that I was in the territory of the Marquis Armstrong.’
‘Was the rumor true? That absurd rumor that you can travel from one end of the empire to the other in an hour if you want to?’
‘If it is true, doesn’t it also mean that thousands of troops can be moved at once? It’s really, really absurd.’
‘I can understand why Mr. Armstrong collapsed so easily. If the opponent is such a monster, what good is having thousands of strong soldiers?’
At the same time, whispers in a similar vein to the above began to flow simultaneously from various places in the Grand Hall.
As the whispers continued, the gazes of the nobles looking at the entrance showed greater fear.
“Keu~. “Franco brought a monster.”
“Shit. Shit! I brought so many people with me for no reason. “I was just coming alone.”
“Honey, calm down.”
And it was the same for the three adepts who knelt in front of the emperor and held their heads upright.
Although they were small, there was clearly fear in their eyes.
‘You can’t believe you showed emotions that weren’t even visible to the emperor to an adventurer. Jun, you must be really amazing.’
Leon noticed this and smiled bitterly.
An indescribable surge rose within him, making his head dizzy.
Should I be happy? Should I be angry?
“It depends on what you choose, son. If you want to become emperor, be glad you have such a monster friend. If you want to remain human, just be honest and jealous.”
“What do you mean, father? What if you want to become an emperor?”
“You have a lot of time, so think about it carefully. But why aren’t these people coming in? “When did the door open?”
Leon, whose mind was very complicated, asked his father, Arthur, for help in trying to untangle his complicated thoughts, but instead of being relieved by his incomprehensible words, his mind became more complicated.
I asked him what he meant, but he said something stupid and avoided answering.
Why does that attitude give me the feeling that my life will change completely the day I first met him?
Leon couldn’t figure it out. No, I didn’t want to know.
Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go!
At a time of such confusion, people, including Jun, finally began to enter the grand hall.
Surprisingly, the leader of the group was not the warrior, saint, or pope who could be said to be the master of the church, nor were the ten saints who had reached the highest level and received the title of Star of the Empire.
The person who stood at the forefront as if representing the group was Jun, the friend who had neither the right position nor the highest level.
‘But why are you frowning like that? As if I don’t like something.’
Leon looked puzzled and looked closely at his friend’s face.
Then I could tell he was muttering something. He immediately focused his mana on his ears.
‘I’m not the main character? The extras are interested in death? What are you saying?’
My friend, who sometimes said strange things, was still saying strange things even now that he had gained tremendous power.
Leon sighed and let out a small laugh. Even though it was complicated, my complicated mind was relieved just a little.
‘He has ridiculous abilities, but that’s why he puts a commoner at the forefront? The denomination and the 10 saints over there are all crazy.’
‘No, maybe it’s natural. Haven’t you heard the rumor? That kid might be a true hero. The existing hero was a stand-in for that child to raise him safely.’
‘It’s different from the rumors I heard. According to the rumor I heard, that child was an angel sent by the God of Bright to clear the earth before the great war.’
‘A hero and an angel? Either way seems likely. Otherwise, there’s no explanation for that ridiculous ability or that human-like appearance.’
Unlike Leon, the nobles’ feelings became more complicated.
This is because I had to think about whether to determine the identity of the monster at the forefront – a commoner, a hero, or an angel; whether that monster was my enemy or an ally; if it was an enemy, how to fight it; if it was an ally, how to advance the relationship. 〈 Br〉
Naturally, the whispers of nobles echoed here and there in the Grand Hall, just like before.
No matter how small the sounds are, when they come together, they become a big sound.
After a while, the grand hall became so noisy that it was reminiscent of a marketplace.
Jun opened his mouth just as his father clicked his tongue, shaking his head in embarrassment, and was about to raise his hand to silence them.
“It’s noisy.”
Just a small complaint that isn’t that big.
But strangely, that one word was heard with utmost clarity. It was as if the entire space had become his vocal organ.
‘No, it could just be because I like your voice.’
Jun’s voice was truly sweet to hear, even as a man.
It was clear and clean without any noise, while the male-specific mid-bass sound provided heaviness and softness.
Wouldn’t it be safe to consider this a musical instrument?
In fact, the female nobles, who had been mesmerized by Jun’s ecstatic appearance from the moment he entered, seemed to be very moved as soon as they heard his voice.
Normally, at that level, the promiscuous nobles of the empire would reveal their base desires, but the eyes of the female nobles looking at Jun were so pure.
It seemed like he was so ‘noble’ that he couldn’t even feel lustful feelings.
‘Keu~.’
‘Hum.’
Unlike the female nobles, the male nobles were busy avoiding Jun’s gaze.
This is because Jun’s voice overflowed with the superiority and charisma that only males can feel.
To be honest, Leon couldn’t look at him directly either.
The moment I looked straight at him, I felt like I would realize his superiority and my own weakness.
Hehe. Good. Very good.”
But as if that wasn’t the case, father Arthur was looking straight at Jun and smiling with satisfaction.
What on earth do you like so much?
Anyway, the grand hall became quiet as Jun had wanted, and Jun continued his stopped steps as if satisfied with it.
“I heard you called me. “How can I help you?”
Jun, who went next to the three adepts, did not kneel down or show respect like the adepts, but got straight to the point.
It was a very rude act no matter how much he had his back on the religious order, but for some reason, his actions felt very natural.
Perhaps he was the only one who felt this way, but neither his father nor any other nobleman reprimanded him.
“Yes you bastard! In front of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor! Hurry and kneel!”
However, it wasn’t like that forever.
Paeseong, who belatedly came to his senses, stood up and roared. The sound was so loud that several nobles were startled and kicked their butts.
Pae-seong did not even give them the slightest glance, only Jun-man glared harshly.
The gaze of an old man who had spent his entire life on the battlefield would have made even a strong adult intimidated, but rather than being intimidated, Jun frowned and clearly showed his displeasure.
When the bright-blue young guy came out, Paeseong got angry and activated the core.
The atmosphere, which was already harsh, froze as if thin ice had covered it.
“Failure! Stop! “Stop it!”
Arthur probably decided that something irreversible would happen if he didn’t stop her quickly, so he got up from her throne and approached the two.
As a son, you can’t stay still. Leon quickly followed behind him.
“Failure! Don’t you hear me! “Calm down!”
Pae Seong is a loyal subject who devoted his life to the empire.
However, for some reason, the core did not stop operating even when Arthur personally approached him to stop him.
Just as I was wondering about it, Leon made a discovery.
The sight of Pae-seong, dripping in cold sweat and keeping his mouth shut as if trying to hold back his fear, and Jun quietly glaring at Pae-seong with eyes reminiscent of those of a dragon.
“Ju, Jun. Let’s calm down. Huh?”
Leon, who intuitively realized that Jun was the cause, hurriedly opened his mouth.
For some reason, my voice was shaking, but I gathered courage and finished speaking.
Glancing
Jun’s eyes, which were looking at Paesung, turned in this direction.
I lost my strength due to the rising fear and almost fell, but my father, Arthur, who was next to me, quickly supported me, and I was able to avoid an ugly fall.
I couldn’t remember much after that.
Just…
“Why did you swear allegiance to the Empire? To protect the honor of the empire? To make the empire great? At least not to protect the private interests of the nobles. And when you received your knighthood, you swore to protect the weak and enforce justice, right? You made such an oath, but why did you stay silent while the nobles went crazy? Now that we have come to such a topic, we have the shame to say this or that. Yes?”
Paeseong, who was like a shield that could never be broken, was unable to withstand the one-sided nagging bombardment and quietly pushed forward the shield he was wearing on his back,
“I heard that it is the lowest stone among the 10 castles of your empire. Are you greedy for position while in that position? Do you sleep well at night? Yes, you sleep well? That’s amazing. If it were me, I would not have been able to sleep a wink because I was so embarrassed about being in Malseok. Why were such easy-going people so greedy for space? “You just stay home and sleep.”
Lee Geomseong and Samgeomseong are trembling, hugging each other tightly, forgetting their face, and…
“Why? Are you dissatisfied?”
I could only vaguely remember Jun ruthlessly and mercilessly putting an end to his opponent.
