Chapter 314 – Allied Powers of Elance
Jun, who had sufficiently healed his body and mind through a private time with his dark elf sister, began to deal with the piled up issues in earnest the next day.
First, it was announced throughout the empire that this strike was caused by the Demon King Cult, and that the Queen of Dreams, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, was directly leading the charge.
The Four Heavenly Kings, who only appeared in the great war hundreds of years ago, have appeared!
With the appearance of the Four Heavenly Kings, people felt anxious that a new great war was imminent.
And this time too, he gave praise and trust to the church that successfully blocked the plans of the Four Heavenly Kings and the Demon King Church.
Based on that trust, Jun started his second job.
The Empire, the Legion, and the 10 Stars were all mobilized to forcibly investigate the people whose names were listed on the list of the Resistance’s friends and the Demon King’s Church.
Most of them were high-ranking nobles, high-ranking administrators, and merchants, but they did not dare to rebel in the face of the overwhelming support of the public and the enormous difference in military power.
Those involved were arrested one after another.
The number was so large that in some areas, administrative and logistics paralysis occurred even more severely than during the strike.
Fortunately, that problem was soon resolved.
Priests dispatched to various places to establish schools.
They were tasked with handling administration and logistics on behalf of the newly elected administrators and priests until they went there.
Lastly, wanted letters were distributed throughout the empire.
It depicts Bruce’s face, not anyone else’s.
After interrogating the remnants of the Demon King’s Church, we were able to find out that the leader of the Demon King’s Church was Bruce.
Not wanting to believe it, I tried to ask Bruce directly, but he had hidden his race since the strike.
Jun once again cursed his trashy friend luck.
Anyway, one night after putting out the fire in such a hurry,
“Can you tell me I’m here?”
“I understand.”
Jun visited Emperor Arthur alone.
Nicholas, the chamberlain guarding the front of his room, nods his head and then turns around and whispers something to the door of his room.
-… Let me in.
Soon, Arthur’s voice was heard from inside the room, and Nicholas politely took a step back in front of the door as if telling him to go ahead.
Jun opened the door and immediately frowned as he entered.
There was a terrible smell of alcohol in the air, and empty liquor bottles were scattered on the floor.
I took a deep breath and turned to Arthur, who was still tipping his bottle at the table in front of the terrace.
His appearance was very disheveled, as if he hadn’t taken care of it for a few days.
His hair was covered with rice cakes, and his beard was bushy.
As I sat in front of him without saying a word, he opened his mouth and lifted the bottle like a drunkard in any tavern.
“Welcome, Cardinal. Have you finished your work?”
“I have finished everything I can do.”
“As expected, you are capable. “It hasn’t even been a week since the situation ended.”
Arthur is impressed by Jun’s abilities.
However, contrary to his words, there was bitterness on his face.
“I wanted Leon to see and learn from your abilities by your side…”
In the end, I was crushed.
After adding this, Arthur immediately began to sob softly, covering his face with both hands.
The sobbing of a grown man.
Normally it would look ugly, but the sobbing of the man in front of me didn’t look like that at all.
Even though she can’t sympathize with the man’s feelings, she can at least understand his feelings.
Bribery.
Abuse of power.
Attempted murder of a warrior.
Attempted murder of a cardinal.
Cooperation with demons.
These were the charges confirmed against Leon.
How terrible must it be to feel that the son you truly loved, who was born to the person you truly loved, went astray and ended up dying?
I am sorry for not being able to love you properly even though it was late, and I will hate myself so much for that.
“Cardinal, please just this once. Please look at me and save our Leon just this once.”
Arthur stood up, got down on his knees and asked for mercy.
The emperor of not just a kingdom but an empire that occupied a quarter of the continent kneels down.
It was something that should never have happened.
It probably means that Leon is that important.
While Jun was jealous of Leon, he was not embarrassed and knelt side by side in front of Arthur.
He had no reason to panic because he had expected it to come out like this.
It was for this reason that he left behind wives who did not want to leave.
Unlike women, the fewer people see a man kneeling, the better.
“Please. It’s all my fault that Leon ended up like that. “If you’re going to punish me, punish me.”
“That can’t be possible. And your majesty. No, Uncle Arthur. Do not worry too much. “Leon will not be sentenced to death.”
In addition, Jun added that only a very few people will know about the charges.
“But don’t like it too much. They plan to temporarily strip him of his title as prince, send him into exile in the labyrinth city of Remummuni, and make him work as an adventurer. “If you’re not careful, you could die.”
“Well, where is that! But is that really okay? Of course I like it. No matter how you look at it, Leon will not be able to avoid the death penalty for his crimes.”
Arthur is confused and asks why.
In response to that question, Jun just smiled meaningfully.
Does he know?
That is truly the cornerstone of the punishment Leon will receive.
The punishment he will truly receive is in some ways more terrible than death.
Without even knowing that, Arthur said he was happy that if Leon worked as an adventurer, he would grow up like his old self.
“And to prevent Leon from increasing his power, I want to marry him to a commoner. Will you allow it?”
“By commoners, do you mean Linda and Henny? Perhaps you gave it to me because you wanted to make the love of the three come true…”
Arthur looks very moved.
There seemed to be some misunderstanding.
Instead of going out of her way to correct the misunderstanding, Jun asked Leon to at least force her to marry him because he might be opposed to the marriage because of her reputation.
Arthur said he would, pounding her chest to tell her to just trust him.
With that, Jun ended the strike.
And from then on, he consulted with Pope Francis and gradually reduced his influence over the empire while accelerating his training.
After three months, just when I was wondering if it would be a good idea to return to my regular job, they came.
――――――
“A humble servant of the Mother Tree meets the Great One.”
Extremely low posture, as if your nose almost touches the table.
Upon hearing that someone was looking for him, Jun stopped his training and came to his office, looking at him and shaking his head.
“Lila. I told you to stop acting so lowly last time. Why do you keep doing that?”
“Of course, that is the attitude one should show to the Great One.”
While saying that, the elf with purple hair resembling lilac straightened up his upper body.
Her face, full of her unique playfulness, is clearly visible.
At first glance, she seems like a playful girl, but she was a high elf, the most noble among elves, and a plenipotentiary ambassador dispatched to the Britian Empire by the allied nation Elance.
“If that is the attitude you would show to a great man, then show it to Emperor Arthur as well. Don’t just nod your head. Do you know how much trouble I have because of that difference?”
She is the plenipotentiary ambassador of a country comparable to an empire, and she is also the royal family of that country. Even when she confronts Emperor Arthur in front of everyone, she does not bow down to him. 〉
Just bow her head slightly to greet her, and then raise her sassy nose.
Although she is arrogant, she shows an extremely low attitude in front of Jun.
Even when she accidentally bumped into her in the hallway, she kneeled down on the floor without hesitation and maintained her low posture until the end even when Jun told her not to.
Will there really be people who like to be sarcastic about the difference?
It sounds absurd.
The United States of Elence values the authority of the cardinal higher than that of the emperor.
Recognizing the importance of Cardinal June, the United States of Elance puts on a show to get closer to him,
There were numerous rumors going around in the imperial palace, such as that Cardinal Jun’s appearance was so beautiful that even the proud high elves would get down on their knees.
“Why do you keep calling me a great person in the first place?”
“Of course, it’s because Cardinal Jun has the blood of a dragon.”
“… How did you know that?”
Jun kept the fact that he had become a dragon secret from anyone other than his wife.
If that fact were to be revealed, he would be a nuisance here and there.
But how did she notice that fact?
Jun’s eyes narrowed at the unwelcome news.
“Ha, a high elf’s eyes can see the other person’s soul. Thanks to that power, he knew that the Cardinal had the blood of the dragon. I absolutely did not dig up the Cardinal or use any means. So please don’t look at me that way. It’s so scary!”
Lila trembles, holding her long ears with her hands, like a talkie in front of a fox.
Looking at her, it didn’t seem like she was lying at all.
At her request, Jun withdrew his fierce gaze and spoke to her.
Please reveal the business you came for.
“If it’s okay with you, please come with us to Elance United Kingdom. “I hope the warrior and the saint are together as much as possible.”
“Why?”
Lila calmly explained the reason.
After a while, Jun muttered with a blank expression on her face.
“Yongbong Branch? Wasn’t this a fantasy story?”
