The Empire was engulfed by a plan to build a large transportation network. It is expected that an unimaginable amount of money will be poured out, showing interest in merchants as well as nobles with lands.

In particular, the nobles of the Lumenox River area have lined up with me and have been actively questioning whether roads and rail lines pass through their territory.

The Lumenox River Basin was the site of a massive claw in civil war. The civil works were the perfect opportunity for them to rebuild the land that had been turned into a ruin of war.

We'll be able to give jobs to the Nomads after they've lost their farmland and revitalize the territorial finances spent on war and plunder.

Thanks to you, my position grew. It was natural for me to have a great advantage and have people gather like clouds, and it was natural for me to become stronger as people gather under me.

In the meantime, Cardinal Griffin was called before Divinum. The Church of Light heard that I could no longer have a Cardinal in the empire that changed my country to a yin Yang, but I was actually unable to defeat my threat and retreated.

Of course, the Church of Light did not snore at first. I can't give up on the empire that has been sucking honey for years. However, when I lost what I had, I changed my attitude and accepted my request.

I recently had an emissary from the Light Nation, Hadd, ready to declare war on the Kingdom, and deployed to the border.

At this point, we can't hold out much longer. If you continue to endure, the Light Nation will be wiped from the map once the Realm begins.

Lie, lie, lie!

Today was the day of the coronation. To celebrate the Emperor Simon's reign, the sky of Hwang Sung burst with mystical shrinks, and celebrations were held throughout the city.

And aristocrats flocked from all over the empire.

The Imperial nobles couldn't help but attend on a meaningful day like today.

To meet them, I welcomed the nobles who were visiting me to the door overlooking the Great Garden.

“Hey, who's this? Is this Duke Ferreiro? ”

I saw an old man coming up the stairs with Hubeo and hurriedly rushed down to greet him.

Duke Ferrero was an eight-cycle wizard who had long been a substitute for the wizard.

My relationship with my uncle the emperor was driven from power because he wanted to, but now it's different. My uncle had already been deposed, and I was thinking of taking Duc Ferreiro seriously.

“Duke Ferreiro. Welcome. You know me, right? Jan.”

I couldn't have known. In my past life, I often went to play with the Duke of Ferreiro with Hubeio, but I only greeted him in passing and did not have a separate relationship.

Duke Ferreiro smiles brightly.

“Who is this? You must be Grand Duke Jan. It's good to see you. You've grown up to be a stranger. ”

“Yes. Hahaha. ”

Duke Ferreiro held my hand tightly.

“I hear you're close with Hubeo. I'm not saying it's because I'm the great-grandfather, but my great-grandfather isn't very smart after all. I don't want you to continue as a professor, so please make a good seat for me later. ”

“Only Hubeio. The duc must return to his regime." I will soon leave my seat for you instead of the Wizard. ”

Duke Ferreiro waves his hand.

“No. I'm old now. I need someone new. ”

“Didn't those new people make the Mado industry look like this? Now, in Kara, a floater flies through the sky, and a floating iron horse speeds through the desert. What is this in my empire? Duke Ferreiro must take action to improve the Mado industry of our empire. ”

Duke Ferreiro sweeps down his beard with a cheerful smile.

“Come on, the Empire's Mado industry has fallen apart in the absence of me. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“I know the meaning of my Grand Duke. I will step forward and advance the Mado industry of the Empire beyond Kara. ”

“Thank you. I trust Duke Ferreiro, then. ”

I smiled brightly.

Duke Ferreiro was making a huge impact on the wizards in the empire. If the Duke helped me, I would have won a thousand horses.

Duke Ferreiro said on his way to the coronation first.

“Then I'll go in first, talk to Hubeo. ”

“Yes, have a good time. ”

Duke Ferreiro walks in with an attendant, and Hubeio approaches with interest.

“Jan. Am I giving you a job, too? ”

“Yeah, you should do one, too. Shouldn't you be helping your great-grandfather? In fact, isn't there anyone in Kara who knows as much about the development of the Mado industry as you do? ”

You have a bright face if you don't like Hubeo. Honestly, I have a much better job than a professor.

“Not really. But what are you gonna give me? ”

“Horseshoe?”

Hubeo frowns. Horseshoe is a Targaryen official of the Magic Ministry.

A mid-level official who manages and reports disagreements between the Magic Ministry and other ministries.

“Hey, that's too much, right? ”

“What's the big deal? I'm a clerk, too.”

“That's what's wrong with you. If you talk dirty, the world will curse you. Horses are middle-class bureaucrats. It's an honor job. ”

“The person who sits in the chair decides whether or not to be honored. You can study your position, my position or the entire state. It's a role, but you can see the whole thing. Now only someone who's ever been in a position like this can get up there. So don't talk nonsense and do it. ”

“That's what you mean. You don't usually do that, do you? ”

I looked at Hubeo with a meaningful gaze.

“My word is law. It usually is now. ”

“Really?"

“Yes.”

“Got it.”

Hubeo agreed. If I do that, so be it.

Hubeo gazes at the imperial gate from a sudden distance.

“How come the people of Marquis Moral don't come here, anyway? ”

“Why?”

“We bumped into each other on our way here, and they took us to the other side because there was a procedure problem at the front door. ”

“Mmm-hmm. Really? Then never mind. ”

“But I came with you when I got here, and I'm going in with you. ”

“Where to?”

“At the coronation.”

I smiled, Pic.

“But the only way in with the Marquis Moral is through the gates of Hell. ”

Hubeo opens his eyes.

“What are you talking about? ”

“My beloved cousin is emperor, and I, my younger brother, will pave the way for you. ”

“You, you · · · · · · · ·. ”

“I told you before. I wrote" The Book of the Dead. ”

“But didn't the Marquis of Moral attend the Grand Duchess Immediate? You said they would.”

“Not the Marquis Moral. ”

“Why?”

“If you let them live, I'll die with Erisa. ”

Hubeo narrows his eyes.

“You're gonna kill me for a girl? ”

“Is that all you got? Earl Moral set up an alliance between Earl Holland and the Emperor to put a knife to my back. I can't forgive him. ”

Hubeo sighs for a long time.

“Anyway, what blood is this on blessed coronation day? Probably not a side-effect joke. ”

“Of course.”

“Do you know how to catch this day? I'm sure the aristocratic revolt isn't a joke. The dead, of course, are silent, but the living are not idle. Wouldn't you feel a little squirmy even if you survived? ”

“I know. I caught it today because I knew. I told you to react quickly if you want to revolt. It's best to end the Age of Blood quickly and with certainty if possible. ”

I will kill anyone who resists, as I foretold. Even if the entire aristocratic society revolts, I do not bend my will.

It's enough to exterminate an entire aristocratic society.

No, I wish that were the case. If you kill all the nobles, all of Yosrahim will compete fairly without the authority to identify themselves, so that only those with abilities can open a world where success is possible.

“What about your historical assessment? ”

“Well, I don't know if that history's going to work. ”

“What do you mean? Does that mean the winner is going to make history? ”

I smiled meaninglessly.

In fact, I was told that history should be recorded accurately. Although history is recorded by the winner, if you let me, the winner, record the exact history.

So I sent several guards to watch the catastrophe on the side of the Starpalace. Witness the moments of history that are going to take place today and make sure you write down exactly what happened today.

Why? Because the worst thing a generation can do for generations is to distort history.

True history is a food for posterity, but false history is poisonous to posterity.

Nevertheless, I tell Hubeo that there will be no history of today because that's the only reason I know.

Perhaps today's recorded history will vanish into dust along with the long flows of time, kept in an old library that no one will ever find.

“Never mind. Just go inside. Don't go near the annex. You won't get a good view if you go there. ”

“Ahoy. I don't know. ”

Hubeo shakes his head and enters the coronation. As many people died today, Hubeo seemed to be heartbroken, too.

* * *

The coronation visitor continued.

Nobles from all over the empire and envoys from all over the country. I was too busy welcoming thousands of people.

But do they know? The fact that the smile that you see now will soon turn into a cool silence.

The coronation of blood.

History will record this day with this phrase.

‘Finally, you're here. It's hard to carry. ’

I watched the group ascend toward the coronation with an indifferent gaze. It was my father, Aunt Helen, and Joseph.

I refused to go to the Pole with my repeated requests, but I had no choice but to come today.

When my father climbed all the stairs, he said,

“Father, are you here? ”

“Is today the day? ”

My father only told me what he wanted to know.

I didn't expect an emotional conversation, but I think it's too much.

Anyway, one thing I've noticed is that he's an amazing guy. The atmosphere at the front door makes it look like you noticed today's blood.

“Yes.”

“I've got the date all wrong. Another day, but not today. If you haven't already, it's not too late. Return it here. ”

“You're welcome. That's why I caught it today. ”

My father gave me a sharp shot.

“Many become your enemies. ”

“That's why I caught it today. ”

“You know this? You can't do this if you want power. ”

“Yes, I know. ”

I slightly raised the tail of my mouth, and my father's eyes slightly trembled.

“What are you after? ”

“Well, what is it? Maybe it's a new era. ”

“Hmph. I thought you were wise, but now you're a dreamer. ”

“I can't help it. My desperate wish is like a delusion. ”

“What?"

“Father, anyone who wants to live can do anything. And that's why things never happen. Humans should never kill, for example, but a soldier with a spear in the face of an enemy is a completely different story. Of course, you have to kill your enemies to survive. This is the same context. I coveted power.

It's never supposed to happen, but if I want something else, I have to do it. ”

“So what do you want? ”

I answered with a quiet voice.

“Fear. I think, to be precise, it's beyond the fear humans have of God. I will not allow this empire to betray God, even if it betrays me. That way the empire can survive. ”

“Are you crazy? ”

“No, it's perfectly normal. It's just that the world is going crazy. Father, do you think the last civil war was a human fight? ”

“What do you mean? ”

“The last civil war was a battle between man and the sky. Fortunately, I, as a human, won and this empire survived. But it's not over yet. The sky will once again seek to destroy this empire. So we have to prepare for that day. for the day when we will rid the heavens of falsehood. ”

I opened the way for him to go in, but he just stood there and kept staring at me.

“Something happened. ”

“Yes. It would be frightening for us humans to know. So I can't talk about the rich anymore. ”

“Got it. Let's hear more about that when we get a chance later. ”

“Well, I'm not the type to transfer my belongings to someone else. It's meaningless. There's no reason to do it. ”

My father shook his head and passed me by. I bowed my head and watched Josef follow my father.

He was already growing up as a young man because he hadn't seen him for a few years.

“Josef, when will you graduate? ”

“I already graduated last year. ”

I twitched my eyebrows. Imperial Noble Schools have month and a half, but no early graduation. In the past, the rules of the school, which used to be a means of capturing local power, have now become a tradition.

But Josef broke the tradition and graduated early. Anyway, he's still a jerk.
