I Became the Father of a Degenerate Emperor

Episode 6. I could feel it too.

Episode 6. I could feel it too.

After the conversation with Duke Bright, I headed back to the gymnasium.

He was holding a secret palace in one hand and an apple in the other.

Until I ran into the duke, I was only thinking of shooting the Secret Palace as a test, but now things have changed.

I had to stand on the battlefield in three days, so I needed to practice properly.

When we arrived at the gymnasium, the sunset deepened before we knew it, and the reddish sky seemed to be bleeding.

It was terribly beautiful, but somehow it felt ominous.

“Your Majesty…… !”

The owner of the voice that called me is Damien Carso.

He was the head of the Marquis of Carso and the Minister of Finance of the Kratus Empire.

“Your Majesty, how did you call me here… ….”

Anxiety was evident in his voice and expression.

Of course, the reason for the uneasiness may not be just because of waiting for a long time.

If the emperor had committed evil deeds, he would have seen or heard of them countless times, so the biggest reason must be that he was afraid of harm to himself.

“I have a busy job at the bar, so I think I should go… ….”

With the empire’s treasury empty, there was no way the Minister of Finance would be busy.

“I put aside other schedules and waited for His Majesty to come…….”

By the way, Lee Ja has been steadily embezzling the empire’s taxes for several years.

That is also for the sake of exile to the neighboring kingdom.

The scale of the stolen money was beyond imagination, and the already difficult finances of the imperial family suffered a fatal blow.

As a result, most of the important policies that should be implemented for the people of the Empire have come to a standstill.

Seeing that he robbed the national treasury and pushed the entire empire into the abyss to live alone, I couldn’t help but say he didn’t deserve to die.

Even now, I feel quite disgusted with the little girl who is rolling her hair while looking at her eyes.

If you use a fairly generous body as a target, there will be no shortage.

But considering my reputation now, there was nothing good about killing people in the imperial palace.

In the end, it was clear that I would be the only bad guy again.

In fact, the Marquis Carso is a talented person with excellent calculation skills, and if kept alive, he would be quite useful in the future.

Of course, the process of throwing up all the embezzled money must be preceded.

I was going to scare him a bit, but I didn’t mean to shoot an arrow at the body of the marquis right now.

I just intended to use it as a support for a target.

“Take it.”

I handed the apple I brought to Marquis Carso.

“How is this…….”

He made an expression that he didn’t understand.

“Put it on his head and stand still.”

“But, Your Majesty, I think I really need to go… ….”

I just stared at her without saying anything.

After several minutes of suffocating silence, the Marquis became restless and broke into a cold sweat.

In the end, he had no choice but to place the apple on his head with trembling hands.

I kept my distance from him and raised my secret bow.

I was already familiar with how to use it.

As I pretended to bet my fingers on a spot where a demonstration might be held, I felt something tight touch my bent fingers.

Originally, it did not exist.

However, when I raised my finger, a protest that had not existed suddenly appeared.

I don’t know what the principle is, but it was really amazing.

Joo Woowook-

When the transparent string is pulled back, the bow slowly bends against it with strong elasticity.

Even though he can’t use an aura, he was a sword master until five years ago.

The quality of muscle must be different from that of ordinary people.

The protesting finger was quickly pulled all the way behind the ear.

In the following moment, the presence of something long and sharp was clearly felt inside the curved bow.

Perhaps an invisible arrow.

Obviously, it felt like something like that was born.

I felt the transparent arrow’s presence as clearly as I could see it with my own eyes, and aimed it at Marquis Carso’s head.

Then, at some point, I had an intuition that the sharp arrowhead was aiming at the apple.

Pot!

The hanging string suddenly passed through my fingers.

The bow rod, which had been bent, was suddenly straightened and delivered a violent trembling, but nothing was visible, and the sound of the arrow flying was not heard at all.

Nevertheless, it was an unmistakable fact that something had been shot out.

Pak! Bang!

In the blink of an eye, the apple on top of the Marquis’ head shattered into dozens of pieces and exploded.

“It’s black… ….”

When I approached the Marquis, he was quietly sobbing with his pants wet.

Hair was also wet with apple juice.

There was even a small hole in the back wall, with a wide crack around the hole.

The densely spread shape was like a spider’s web.

If it had been hit in the head, the brain would have been sprayed in all directions before it penetrated.

It was much more powerful than I thought.

In fact, Secret Palace had one fatal flaw.

That’s right, you can only shoot three shots a day.

However, with this level of power, it could be concluded that it would be more than enough to endure the disadvantages of that level.

Looking at his trembling body, Marquis Carso seemed still afraid.

If I changed my stance, I thought I would have felt a tremendous fear.

It was a situation where the apple on top of my head suddenly exploded for no reason.

It was invisible and not even audible.

You must be gripped by the fear that your own head might explode at any moment.

“Why are you doing this to me… ….”

“Tax embezzlement.”

As soon as he heard the word embezzlement, Marquis Carso stopped crying like a frightened child.

“I-I never did that… ….”

“Spit it all out before tomorrow. Otherwise, next time your head will explode, not the apple.”

“…… “

“I hope you don’t think of running away. At that time, the assassins of the Duke of Shade will pursue you even to the end of the continent. Did you understand me well?”

“Hiccup. Hiccup.”

The Marquis of Carso responded with a fit of hiccups.

After leaving the gymnasium, night fell in the vast imperial palace.

I limped between the brightly lit streetlights.

Then, as I was passing by the Empress Palace, I heard a rather familiar voice.

“I shouldn’t have told you not to open your eyes like that?”

I moved closer.

A bright red dress like red hair.

Obviously, it was Camilla Vicious.

A captivating appearance that makes it impossible to take your eyes off it from head to toe.

But the sinister smile on her beautiful face looked ominous, as if it were possessed by an evil spirit.

“What on earth did you believe in and be so persistent?”

Camilla Vicious, with one hand clutching the empress’ hair, was slapping her on the cheek with the other.

Pair!

Somehow the color of the sunset was particularly ominous.

I didn’t see a single courtier nearby.

It would have been uncomfortable to witness the disgrace of the empress, and it would have been a burden to interrupt the joy of the emperor’s favorite government.

Since this isn’t the first time or two, it must be that he’s backed away and doesn’t come near at all.

The Empress silently glared at Camilla Vicious, resolutely enduring even her slightest moan.

But her swollen red cheeks and cracked lips vividly conveyed the emotions she was feeling right now.

Anger and helplessness.

They turned into tears and flowed down like rainwater.

Still, with that look in her eyes, she was worthy of being called the empress of an empire.

I felt proud enough to feel arrogant, and I didn’t feel even the slightest tremble.

But the moment she found me, her eyes began to tremble urgently.

Shame, frustration, embarrassment, all of these things seemed to oscillate chaotically, conflicting with each other.

“Oh, Your Majesty?”

Camilla Vicious, feeling the presence and calling me with a soft voice.

Her true identity is a demon.

Because her demons deal with her energy of chaos, she was difficult to kill just by destroying her body.

If I could use an aura, I could cut through the energy of chaos at once, but I couldn’t do that right now.

Of course, I did put the claws of chaos in her arms just in case.

The red blade of this dagger is made of jewels that absorb the energy of chaos.

So if you could stab her in the heart, you could kill Camilla Vicious with a single shot.

However, with my current physical abilities, I will not be able to withstand the transcendent strength of the demons.

If you attack her head-on, she will be overpowered and she may lose her life.

At times like this, you need to be calm.

Get as close as possible and aim for a clearer opportunity.

“Why are you doing this?”

As I watched the miserable appearance of the empress, a thousand dollars welled up inside her.

But since I had a purpose, I had no choice but to speak as calmly as possible.

“Oh, Your Majesty. Are you saying this because you don’t know how unsightly a man who gets involved in women’s affairs is?”

It was a very bewitching voice.

However, the smile has disappeared.

He seemed very upset that I intervened.

I moved closer and closer with my hand in my bosom.

“Why are you really like this today? You killed Count Desapio not too long ago, and I don’t know why you’re suddenly doing something you didn’t want to do.”

“Please release the empress right away before calling the guards.”

If I called the soldiers for no reason, I would only be killed, so I had no intention of actually calling them.

But it seemed certain that those words had gotten on Camilla Vicious’ nerves.

“Your Majesty, why are you bothering me like this? Soggy men are not good.”

When Camilla Vicious let go of her hand, the empress collapsed helplessly.

Pulsuk-

I felt sorry for the fallen empress, but I did not stop walking.

And finally, they got close enough to stab Camilla Vicious.

Camilla Vicious also came close to me and hugged her neck tightly and kissed her.

I was a bit startled by the suddenness, but I didn’t resist.

Rather, he obediently complied.

Because the opportunity finally came.

However, as I looked at the face of the empress, who was struggling to raise her head and stare at me, her heart throbbed.

“Your Majesty… ….”

She screamed with a desperate expression on her face.

“How can you be so cruel to me! If this is going to happen, how did you do that this morning!”

This must have been the purpose of Camilla Vicious’ kissing her.

To allow frustration to take root once again deep within the empress’ heart.

I gripped the dagger tightly. I was thinking of stabbing my heart right now.

However, the body did not move at all, as if it had suddenly turned into a stone statue.

“Haa… ….”

Camilla Vicious’ wet lips left mine and reached my ears as if she had served her purpose.

“Your Majesty, when I speak well, go back to your bedroom and wait like a dog. Let’s wait and do the rest.”

At that moment, my body started moving again.

But it wasn’t the move I wanted.

It seems that the energy of chaos was blown in during the kiss.

That must have strengthened the magic poison’s mind control.

Perhaps it was a direct order from the demons, the level of control was different from the hints in my head.

I never expected that the binding force would be this strong.

I slowly turned around and walked away with a limp.

I was afraid that I would be mentally controlled again, so I left my torn cheeks still intact, but even the bitter pain was not enough to go against Camilla Vicious’s orders.

Even if I focused on my earnest desire to live, I could only slightly delay my steps, and I couldn’t avoid being a puppet.

It was an undeniable fact that I had been careless.

And the price was very harsh.

“Now that the intruder is gone, shall we continue our conversation?”

I felt so uncomfortable. To the point of shuddering.

There was also no way to suppress the roaring rage.

It wasn’t because I couldn’t move my body at will.

It was because I could feel the miserable feelings the empress must be feeling right now.

A situation where the emperor’s wife, the empress, is being slapped by her mistress, the mistress.

And the emperor, who saw that, only kissed his mistress, then indifferently turned his back and left.

A pit of endless despair.

Perhaps the empress was falling endlessly to such a place right now.
