30 – {First Meeting}
{First Meeting}
“I’m going crazy.”
“Even if that idiot had an accident, how could he have caused such a major accident!”
The Empire of Britannia was turned upside down when William Artin sent assassins to Theodore Skylord and Yuria Arsane.
Even if William tried to claim that there was no evidence, the Britannia Empire was increasingly on the defensive at the words of the Arkan Empire that it was already confirmed with the confession magic and that if the wizards of the Britannia Empire could directly participate if they wanted to hide the truth. .
“If it was just a confession spell, I’d somehow insist that it’s groundless. Damn it.”
Even evidence that William sent assassins to Minst Academy at that time was left in the record. William opened the door himself, but it was because he confirmed the process of the assassins entering through the spirits who commanded the spirits of the earth, who had the power to read the memories of the earth.
Theodore Skylord also said that he had the ability as an Elementalist, and the Earth Spirit he contracted also had the corresponding record, so he submitted it.
The Britannia Empire couldn’t get away with the words of the Arkan Empire that they had recorded and sent the video of the earth spirit using magic, and that if they wanted to check the authenticity, they could directly confirm it with Theodore.
‘It’s the inside of Minst Academy!’
It was clear that Dean Albert was also holding his back.
Assassins were sent to foreign students who came to Minst Academy, especially the heir of the Duke of Skyroad and Jade Ok-yeop of the Duke of Arsene.
It was revealed that they had even concocted a plan to forcibly violate the royal family of Arsene, so the Britannian Empire was in a state of disgrace to the Arkan Empire.
It wasn’t enough to make an official apology, and compensation had to be made to the Duke of Skyroad and the Duke of Arsene, and originally, it was a serious crime that would not have been enough to deprive William of his noble title.
However, even as an emperor, it was impossible to dismiss him who had the reputation of being the chosen one.
The reason why the Britannian Empire has a diplomatic advantage over the other two empires, the Thran Empire and the Arkhan Empire, is that it has produced the chosen ones, the heroes of the prophecy.
“I must report to His Majesty.”
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Britannian Empire, who is in charge of diplomacy with other countries, said grimly.
This was not at a level that could be solved on its own.
And after the report went up directly to the emperor, the emperor, who was in charge of the decision, also grabbed his back.
“William Artin! This guy always gives Jim a headache!”
It was a great sin to molest Yuria Arsane, but now that the crime of assassination was added, I was already worried that the Arkan Empire would start to doubt that William was the chosen one.
How many were benefiting from all kinds of competition, including trade with the Thran Empire and the Arkhan Empire, in the name of possessing the Chosen One?
‘Theodore Artin, it seems highly probable that the child is indeed the chosen one.’
Even in the Britannian Empire, he was already suppressed in the name of the imperial family, so it was not revealed on the surface, but many people already doubted whether William was really the chosen one.
Since he was the emperor, he was suspicious, and he often had ominous thoughts that Theodore, who disappeared 11 years ago, might not be the real chosen one.
‘Damn it, if only Duke Artin and Duchess Artin cared about their children!’
What Duke Artin and his wife did was a great shock within the Britannian Empire.
Even the emperor, who does not give his children great affection, could not be understood by common sense.
Everyone realized how insane the Duchess Artin and his wife had been, blinded by the glory of being the parents of the chosen one, and everyone was keeping their mouths shut on the surface.
It was probably because the disadvantages to be gained by cursing the Duke of Artin, who had the Chosen One, were too great.
“For now, I’ll have no choice but to give a big reward.”
First of all, in order to rectify the accident William had committed, he, the emperor of the Britannian Empire, had to personally apologize to the emperor of the Arkan Empire and the two dukes. And if they promised to prevent recurrence and compensate for large damages, they would be able to appease them to some extent.
However, this would forever be a weakness as it covered up an assassination attempt without punishing the perpetrators.
‘If it wasn’t for the Chosen One, it would have been impossible.’
Since William had the reputation of being the chosen one, it could have ended like this. Had it not been for him, even if he was not the heir to the duchy but the crown prince, at least he would have been dethroned and exiled.
“Abama, would you mind if I come in for a while?”
Then a clear woman’s voice came from outside.
“Whoa, come in.”
The one who entered with the emperor’s permission was a beautiful woman with long platinum hair.
Now, at the age of 21, she was a second year student at Minst Academy, and she was the princess of the Britannia Empire, the real daughter of the emperor.
“Louise, what’s wrong?”
“Yes, Obama. Actually, I have something to tell you about Theodore Skylord.”
“Theodore?”
“Yes. I spoke with Dean Albert, and he said that Theodore Skylord’s appearance was strikingly similar to that of William Artin. Besides, he was the same age and had a different hair color, but even if Duchess Artin saw him, They even say that they sobbed while calling out.”
“What?!”
The emperor jumped up from his seat in surprise.
Theodore Skylord, saying that he could be Theodore Artin was like a huge bomb.
“Didn’t I hear that report from Dean Albert? Why didn’t he report it?”
“Yes. Actually, I said that I was not sure enough to officially report it. That’s why I said that I was telling the story separately. The Duke and Duchess Artin and his wife had not seen Theodore Artin’s face since they were two years old. He said he wasn’t sure.”
“…The couple are very diverse.”
The Emperor put his hand on his forehead.
The actions of the Duke and Duchess of Artin gave him more headaches the more he thought about it, and if he suffered hair loss, he could bet the position of the emperor that 99% of it was because of the couple and William.
“Whoa, Louise. If you go to the Minst Academy, take a close look at Theodore Sky Road.”
“Yes, Obama.”
Louise also nodded her head with a determined expression.
If he really was Theodore Artin, he had to return to the Britannian Empire at all costs.
‘It’s the worst.’
The Emperor had an ominous idea.
If he was the real Theodore Artin, and if he were the chosen one, all the diplomatic privileges the Britannian Empire would enjoy in the future would be for naught.
No, he would suffer from great criticism internally as well as externally for putting up a fake chosen one, and he would have no choice but to make many concessions to the Arkan Empire and become low-key.
Also, even though he gave birth to the chosen one, the duke of Artin, who actually abandoned him without caring whether he died of starvation and went to the Arkan Empire, said that he was not qualified to use the sacred word ‘Ar’, as well as the demand to take away the duke’s title. Demands for even deprivation would pour in.
I would go further and say that I should be deported abroad, but it was rather fortunate that it ended with that.
‘It’s dangerous for public opinion to criticize the imperial family.’
It was this part that the emperor was most concerned about.
And in order to prevent this, I had to carefully observe Theodore Skylord, and if he was real, I had to persuade him by any means necessary.
* * *
‘He must be shaking his head quite a bit.’
Theodore could roughly see what the Britannian Empire was like without seeing it with his own eyes.
He was probably confused by his story, and although he wasn’t sure if he was the real Theodore, if it was confirmed that he was Theodore Artin, he would be ready to appease right away.
‘I’ll show you when I’ll reach my true identity.’
Theodore was born in the Britannian Empire, but he had no affection for this country.
In the first place, he had no good memories, but if he was hateful, he was hateful, and there was no way he would have good memories.
“Ha ha… Ha ha…”
Then came the sound of a young woman’s heavy breathing. It was Yuria’s moaning as she breathed heavily as if she was struggling to breathe.
Squeezing her stamina to the limit and repeating her movements Theodore taught her, she eventually collapsed until her body stopped moving.
She took appropriate measures to prevent damage to her muscles and back with her healing magic, so all that was left was to wait for her physical strength to recover naturally.
But the way she sat on the floor, breathing heavily, showed how much she had pushed herself to the limit.
‘One passion is really worth recognizing.’
If it had been before, she might have said that she had no talent and just a lot of hard work. But now I didn’t think of that at all. Rather, she was looking at her past self in her efforts.
Adopted by the Duke of Skyroad, when he was in an environment where he could learn freely, he tried to learn everything.
Even before he met the Duke of Skylord, he had learned how to handle power to some extent with some kind of route, but while he was supported by the Duke of Skylord, the environment in which he could learn freely was incomparable.
He tried to master all fields such as swordsmanship, magic, and spiritism to the point of being greedy, and he was so enthusiastic that he was even excited by the fact that he could learn something.
Right now Yuria and her direction are different, but she is working hard with a firm goal.
“Princess Yuria, you look very tired.”
“Haa…gwa, it’s okay. There’s no problem at this level!”
Yuria couldn’t hide her tough side, but she was trying not to show her weakness. But drenched in her sweat, she could see her hair clinging to the back of her neck or shoulders.
In addition, she thought that her t-shirt was also very sweaty, so even if it was cleaned automatically with magic, it would take quite a while to get rid of the sweat.
The sight of her breasts bouncing up and down, so voluptuous and resilient that she couldn’t hold them all with one hand, was bizarre.
She already knew from a year ago that Yuria did not like her breasts, saying that her breasts were heavy and oversized.
Wheeying-
At that time, the wind blew her, and Yuria’s scent flew in the direction of Theodore.
‘Again.’
Yuria’s scent felt very sweet.
One change in her perception was to have such a big impact.
“Princess Yuria.”
“Yes, Prince Theodore.”
I could see Yuria, whose breathing had calmed down a bit, trying to stand up from a collapsed state. But she still didn’t seem to have much strength in her legs, and she was pathetically trembling in her slender legs.
Even though she trained to that point, she never complained and was listening to her own words.
I was genuinely happy that I could learn something.
But, unfortunately for her, her point now was not to pass down her teachings.
“It looks like we have a guest.”
“A guest?”
Yuria seemed to be slightly concentrating on Theodore’s words.
It was to spread the senses far and wide to find out who was coming. She
As her level as a swordsman was far below her own, she had to focus her attention like this to be able to detect her approaching presence.
“Oh, that’s right.”
Yuria also sensed a presence.
“You seem to be entering through the main gate of the academy, so it will take you more than five minutes to get here.”
“Should I change my clothes then?”
When she asked if she should go to the bathroom, lightly wipe off sweat, wash her face, and change into other clothes appropriately, Theodore shook her head.
“No, I don’t think that’s necessary. Princess Yuria, you don’t have to worry about anything else. Your current appearance is so special that it changes my mind.”
“Yes, yes?”
As Yuria’s face turned red at Theodore’s words, she became embarrassed. Then she looked at her own outfit and then asked cautiously.
“Perhaps Prince Theodore…Do you like the way I look now?”
“Hmm, well? I don’t think I hate it.”
At Theodore’s words, Yuria grumbled with her face blushing.
“Really, what you said bothered me for nothing.”
