A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

Chapter 269

269 – The Most Gorgeous Coffin for You (13)

While I was wondering where my father had disappeared to.

Something abnormal has occurred throughout the castle.

It is an unidentified phenomenon that stimulates my senses, and it is a strange phenomenon that I have experienced for the first time before or after regression.

A slime that shines brilliantly with gold.

Slime?

No.

This is not just a monster that can be found in a contaminated area.

This golden liquid that gushes out from the floor of the palace is fundamentally made up of magical energy, and only has the appearance of gold.

That it has a human shape or something like a knight –

‘If it’s an enemy, I’ll cut it down.’

Regardless, if you’re trying to kill me, I have no choice but to cut you down right away.

Suddenly.

Cuts the body in half.

Put the aura into the sword drawn from the staff and cut it diagonally.

The feeling of flowing through the Auror’s blade was like cutting a person, but the golden liquid splashing instead of blood felt a disparity between sight and touch.

“Your Majesty, this is…”

“That’s interesting.”

When I cut down the golden knight rushing towards me and turned my head, golden liquid was flowing down in front of the emperor as well.

“Interesting, interesting. Gray Gibraltar. Have you ever seen anything like this in your entire ‘life’?”

“No. This is my first time experiencing this.”

There was something like this in the royal family?

If we had known that something like this existed, the Nostrum Palace would not have been taken over by the imperial army so easily before the return.

“Hmm, I see. It would be better to explain slowly as we go.”

The emperor lightly shakes his hand and walks forward.

“It looks like the accident has stopped for a moment because of me, and this golden knight appears throughout the palace.”

“…!”

Run straight ahead.

The emperor, who momentarily passed by, followed behind me as if he knew that would happen.

“To whom, our governor.”

“Of course, it’s just one person!”

A strange phenomenon that appeared in the royal palace.

Whom you go to save is a set procedure, at least for Gray Gibraltar.

“I see. I wonder if it’s really necessary, but… “

“Astasia!”

I quickly arrive at the room where Astasia is and open the door.

“Uh, Gray?!”

Astasia was holding her curtain rod.

In front of her, golden liquid was spread out on the floor.

Two.

Some of the gold was buried in Astasia’s curtain rod.

“Gray, that’s-“

Whisper.

“Uh, Gray?”

“…”

When I came to my senses, I found myself holding Astasia without realizing it.

The sight of the golden liquid splattering reminded me of that time, and I hugged Astasia without even realizing it.

“Well, I’m fine.”

“…I’m sorry. I was so surprised.”

“It’s hot. It’s hot.”

The emperor came in, clapping his hands behind him.

“In a situation that could be a crisis for the entire capital, the first person to come to the rescue was not the king, father, or political mother, but the woman he loved who decided to become engaged. It’s touching.”

“…”

“There is no need to stare like that, Astasia. I didn’t lead the way, Gray Gibraltar ran this way.”

“…!!”

Astasia is surprised and holds me tightly.

What was surprising was that the emperor rarely spoke to Astasia except in public situations.

“Gray Gibraltar. I have three inferences about the current situation. “What about you?”

“…”

“I guess I don’t have any sense of it at all. It’s okay. It’s like a part of a legend or history within the kingdom, or a part of a ridiculous story in a fairy tale or fantasy.”

Does the emperor know three things that I don’t know?

“You seem curious. Should I tell you?”

“What is the price?”

“It’s a price. It’s a pity. At the academy, when professors pose problems to undergraduate students, they don’t ask for something in return.”

“But we try to drag undergraduate students who come up with excellent answers into graduate school.”

“That’s right. And I…At least I’m not the type of evil professor who makes problems when I’m learning a completely new subject.”

The Habsburg Emperor waved his hand lightly to the side.

“So, for now, let’s give a light lecture. I’m going to teach you everything, just like you’re spoon-feeding it to Queen Naria.”

Puhwa–aak.

“One. These will be [Golden Slaves].”

“That’s… “

“Whether weaving the body of the dead with gold, or infusing the soul of a lion into the gold itself, that’s it.”

The golden monster protruding from the wall exploded at the emperor’s touch and scattered on the floor, and the emperor fingered the golden liquid on his hand.

“They can also be called the guardians of the Nostrum capital. They can be called Actoplasm, Homunculus, various things, but the source of their movement is this gold.”

“That’s gold?”

“Okay. I said it was inference, right? I haven’t analyzed the ingredients yet…”

The emperor took out a small bottle from his pocket, poured the golden liquid into the glass bottle, and immediately closed the lid.

“This is probably 99% the same mana as gold.”

“…”

“Perhaps mana itself is transformed into gold. It’s like a miracle that cannot be achieved with human technology… Literally, ‘magic.’ Now we know the secret to the ridiculous amount of gold in the land of Nostrum. Huhuhu. Astasia?”

“Oh, yes…?”

“What is the secret wish in Imperial Alchemy?”

“Golden ductility…?”

“Yes. That’s the second one.”

Bye bye.

“It seems that there is real gold in Nostrum, but at the same time there is gold created by miracles of magic. It seems to be the liquid gold through which this mana flows.”

The emperor squeezed the golden liquid in his hand and burst it.

“You will have to analyze what is real gold and what is false gold, but this is probably an arrangement left by the dragon. It is not gold, but something left in place of gold. It was left behind to protect the kingdom of Nostrum when it fell into crisis. Something.”

“…A royal miracle?”

“Yes. Third. Of course, the person behind this ridiculous act is a member of the Nostrum royal family.”

The emperor lightly shrugged his shoulders.

“If the Empire had this kind of technology, they wouldn’t just use this gold to bind the souls of high-ranking knights.”

“…You could also call it black magic.”

I held Astasia’s hand and pointed outside.

“The culprit must be St. Geo Nostrum.”

“Could it be Naria Geo Nostrum?”

“Naria doesn’t have the ability to handle something like this.”

“…It would be disappointing for the person involved to hear it.”

“Apart from the fact that it’s disappointing, if Naria had this ability, she wouldn’t have been surrounded by student council officers, but only high-ranking knights made of gold.”

“…That’s true too.”

When I went outside, the emperor came out and stood behind Astasia.

Although it is uneasy, the emperor can be trusted for now in this situation.

Kwadeuk.

Walking forward, he tramples the golden slave creeping up from the floor with his foot and bursts it.

Even before it appears, it immediately imbues its feet with aura, cutting off the flow of mana flowing through the golden liquid and exploding its body.

“This, this. It looks like the souls of the dead are tied to gold. Do you know of a being called a ‘lich’?”

“Aren’t they undead who became immortal when warlocks bound their souls to a vessel called a living vessel?”

“100 points.”

“Are you saying they are similar to lichs?”

“300 points.”

Cut down the golden slave sticking out from the side.

I continued to hear explosions from behind, and I arrived at the Hall of the Sun, where the throne was, holding on tightly to Astasia’s trembling hand.

Puhwaaak.

The golden slave knights burst out one by one.

Gold spattered like blood on the black rose uniform, which was originally black, and knights in circular formations guarded the throne.

“Lord Grey!”

“I have brought His Majesty the Emperor and Princess of the Thersian Empire.”

Quickly scan ahead.

Naria, Carmen, Duke of Winchester, Viscount Hex.

And many of the Black Rose Knights came here on behalf of the Royal Knights.

“Father, where?”

“Weren’t we together?”

“What…?”

Queen Carmen’s expression became contemplative for a moment.

“Weren’t you with the Count?!”

“Calm down, Carmen.”

“Father!”

Queen Carmen was so embarrassed that she called her father the Count. Her eyes began to waver.

“Calm down, Queen Carmen.”

Pair.

The Habsburg Emperor clapped his hands, and the room immediately became quiet.

“If this place is dangerous, it was dangerous. The Crimson Marquis of Gibraltar is not in danger.”

“Now, what… ?”

“I just suppressed it with mana.”

Beneath the scepter of the sun, golden liquid is writhing and about to burst out.

However, as if they were blocked by a glass plate and looking for another entrance, the golden liquid began to wriggle and crawl along the wall.

“You can think of it as some kind of barrier.”

“That’s… “

“Don’t misunderstand. Anyone at the level of a master can do anything. Isn’t that right, Duke of Winchester?”

“…Thank you.”

The Duke of Winchester smiled bitterly and patted Queen Carmen.

“It looks like you have relaxed your mouth after something happened, His Majesty Habsburg. You have done this.”

I tapped the barrier of the Habsburg Emperor flowing on the floor with my foot.

Even though the barrier requires more mana than creating a sword with aura, he directly used his mana to create a barrier that protects the people of Nostrum.

“You seem excited.”

“Ah, you see? Well, to be honest, it’s a bit like that.”

The emperor did not deny it.

“A mysterious and fantasy-like situation that has never happened before. Is this a miracle unknown to the general public and unknown to those involved? Or is it a disaster that has begun to brew not only in the Nostrum Palace, but also in the entire Nostrum Kingdom?”

“…!”

“If it is a golden disaster, it means one thing.”

The emperor pointed to the empty throne.

“The Death of Saint Geonostrum.”

“…No, probably not.”

Naria shook her head firmly.

From noble mtl dot come

“That person is not someone who will die easily.”

“You don’t know, right? Crimson Gibraltar must have killed Saint Geo Nostrum.”

Some of the knights frowned at the emperor’s blatant words, but they could not bear to refute them.

“Unable to endure the remaining half a year, he killed Nostrum, the only adult, and there were no adult royals in the kingdom, so the curse that the Gold Dragon left behind on the kingdom began. A golden curse that has never been escaped until now.”

“Marquis Crimson…”

“No one knows. Saint Geo Nostrum may have been the one who made the Crimson Marquis draw his sword.”

It actually seemed like that, and that was the most likely.

So much so that even I thought, ‘There is a high possibility of that happening.’

“Yes, I would have, but I would not have killed him.”

Everyone’s eyes were focused on me.

“Hoo, what is the basis?”

“If you wanted to kill him, you would have stuck a knife in his face instead of a fist when you came to Gibraltar nine years ago.”

“Isn’t there a possibility that it exploded because I learned a secret I didn’t know before?”

“…”

If.

As we were concentrating on meetings and meetings, my father met with Saint Geo Nostrum separately.

When Saint Geonostrum acts like he has two lives and reveals the truth that was hidden from his father his.

Father kills Saint Geo Nostrum?

“No.”

That can’t be possible.

“The reason my father explodes is because he is my father.”

“…”

“The Habsburg Emperor probably doesn’t understand what kind of character the Crimson Gibraltar man has.”

Even I, who went back once, don’t fully understand, so who can quickly judge my father’s intentions?

“Of course, I’m not sure either.”

But on the other hand, I cannot definitely refute the speculation that my father tried to kill Saint Geo Nostrum.

“It’s a bit unfair to say this in the center of the royal capital, but…”

If there is a possibility.

“Isn’t it more likely that His Majesty King St. Geonostrum saw the Crimson Marquess of Gibraltar and did this because he was scared that he might be killed?”

“…”

The Habsburg emperor was silent.

For a moment, it became quiet.

I hinted at the possibility as far as I could, but no one could deny that possibility even for a moment.

“Lord Grey.”

Nari Aman opened her mouth.

“So, St. Geo Nostrum did this out of fear that he would be killed?”

“Yes, Queen. To say I was scared would be a bit of an understatement.”

“Isn’t he doing this because he was afraid he would be punished?”

“…”

No one could refute Naria’s words.

To refute-
