The Munchkin Disciple Wants To Stop Being Obsessed Over - Chapter 135

135 – Imperial Capital, Ijesti (3)

“When I heard it, they said it was a ‘vessel of sin’… Is that correct?”

A calm voice without any force at all.

Duran’s eyes filled with astonishment are focused on me, and my gaze is focused on Evil, who is smiling kindly.

“Looking at the embarrassed expression, it seems that the information was definitely wrong. “I don’t think Duran was aware of this fact.”

“···.”

“Laughs, I didn’t ask this question to reprimand you, so you don’t have to be nervous. “I just needed to check if it was true.”

-Ratly.

Evil’s wrinkled hand opens the door to the luxurious room we have already arrived in.

“This is where you two will stay. “It is also where Emperor Sikar stayed when he was the emperor.”

Is it because it is where the emperor lived?

The extravagantly spacious space and the extravagant luxury items visible wherever your eyes look stand out.

“It looks like Duran has a lot of things to share with Camel…”

Evil, who entered the room first, spoke to Duran, who was glaring at me.

“Could you please give up the order? “There is someone who has been waiting for a while to talk to Camel.”

“···Who is that?”

Duran asked Evil back with a disapproving expression, and Evil, who had been smiling kindly, withdrew his smile and answered.

“This is Emperor Sikar.”

****

The Emperor’s Call. An unexpected situation that I’ve never experienced in a game, and perhaps that’s why I’ve never thought about it before.

My mind was a mess, but I couldn’t ignore the emperor’s call, so I had no choice but to follow Evil. A lot of assumptions and guesses were running through her mind.

“Let me ask you one question.”

By the time Evil’s footsteps reached deep into the garden, I had succeeded in organizing her complicated thoughts and opened my lips to break the silence that followed.

“It’s as much as you want. However, please understand that the answers this old man can give you right now are limited.”

“I hope you can give me an answer. “It’s a very important issue to me.”

“Oh… When you say that, I’m really curious. Just say it first. “I will give you an answer as soon as possible.”

Suddenly.

Evil stops walking, and her old, curious eyes meet mine.

They are just the eyes of an old man.

Why? The reason why it feels like things like wisdom, intelligence, and traces of a long time are stirring within it.

“The current emperor…”

Is that why? The voice filled with anticipation is powerful.

“What kind of person are you?”

It was an arrogant, rude, and even simple question for an academy cadet to ask, but it was also a question with a lot of calculation behind it.

If it weren’t for Evil, who didn’t fall astray no matter what happened, it was a question she wouldn’t have asked.

“hehehe, that’s a really bold question. “What kind of person is the Emperor?”

Sure enough. When Evil heard the question, he looked interested and pretended to be concerned.

‘If this person’s answer is…’

Where is the current emperor at the crossroads of good and evil?

How does Evil view such an emperor and what thoughts does he have?

Wouldn’t it be possible to know such things in advance?

Also, wouldn’t it be helpful in deciding on future steps?

That was my thought.

“I would like to say this. The current emperor is…”

Evil grinned, trailing off his words, and then continued speaking in a calm voice.

From Noble mtl dot com

“He is the true emperor and my master who loves the empire and wants to protect it more than anyone else.”

Evil’s eyes as he said that were filled with trust and confidence.

‘The emperor hasn’t joined hands with the chaos cultists yet. Evil fully supports the emperor.’

Then the situation is not bad. No, the situation is much better than expected.

“Okay, did my answer help you with your important matter at all?”

“Yes. Thank you. “Consul.”

“I’m so glad that’s the case. Now then, shall we go in?”

It’s a garden where all you can see are flowers and grass, so where do you go into out of nowhere?

I was tilting my head and was able to nod only after seeing the magic circle that had spread transparently around me.

“Hoo.”

Evil, who was putting his palm in the air and opening the door to an invisible space, let out a small exclamation with his eyes filled with interest.

****

The sub-space hidden within the garden had the same scenery as the garden that followed Evil, with only one difference.

“The fact that you followed Evil and came to this place where Jim is…”

The existence of two men walking in a garden in subspace.

“It means that the absurd news that came to Jim’s ears was true.”

One of them was the emperor, Sikar von Isband, holding a crown in his hand and looking at me with a shallow smile.

“···.”

The other person who remained silent was Jan van Galantus, the sword saint who led the pilgrims to the imperial palace.

“Meet His Majesty the Emperor…”

“I didn’t call you because I wanted to see such clumsy ostentation, so sit back comfortably. “Don’t even think about adding disgusting language when answering.”

I don’t know what the situation was, but I felt like I needed to be polite, so I tried to bend down on one knee.

“It’s a masterpiece.”

At the emperor’s dignified voice, waving his hands and shaking his head, the bent knees reflexively straighten, and a polite voice comes out naturally.

“I understand.”

“I’m sure Archon Evil, whom I trust, has confirmed everything that needs to be confirmed. So, without going back and forth, I will ask you directly. “You…”

Then, the emperor looked at me with his dark blue eyes.

“Are you planning on pulling out that sword and swinging it here too?”

He asked me in a voice full of dignity and with a lot of meaning.

‘If you think you know all the information about me…’

In other words, ‘Are you going to fight the corrupted ones and the Seven Deadly Sins here like before?’

After hearing the question, I thought to myself, seeing the king of the world I live in in my eyes.

‘Even if it is not yet corrupted…’

This looks so fine?

Obviously, the emperor that I saw in the game was either a hero who would condemn the Seven Deadly Sins and a hero who lost the starlight and was threatened by the Chaos Cults, and he was either corrupted or manipulated.

The emperor’s appearance in my eyes seemed very distant, even though it was far from that image.

Glossy platinum hair,

Deep blue eyes,

And even the dignity that subtly permeates his entire body.

“Your Majesty, I don’t know how much you know about this lowly guy, but if you don’t mind, before answering, may I tell you what kind of guy I am?”

Is it because I had expectations after seeing that?

“Tell me.”

“This guy hates troublesome things more than anything in the world, and tries to avoid dangerous things more than anyone else. For example, there may be things like drawing a sword and fighting while risking your life.”

After a long time, my tongue started moving brilliantly.

“Don’t you think that your actions so far have been too turbulent to say that?”

“Yes. It was noisy. But it had to be. Because I didn’t want to make things more troublesome. “He also wanted to avoid doing something more dangerous.”

“Until now, it really was inevitable. “This is it.”

“Yes. As your Majesty knows, I have the fate of being a ‘vessel of sin.’ Thanks to this, I was attacked three times by the Seven Deadly Sins, something that I am sure others will never see in their lifetime.”

“I even knocked them all down. “Very proud.”

“Yes. “Your Majesty, if you hadn’t done that, I would have fallen into their hands a long time ago and become a disaster spreading despair and chaos on this continent.”

“Huh…”

“So, Your Majesty, this is what I want to say. Even if just by chance, I should draw my sword and swing it here without His Majesty’s permission. The reason is that ···.”

Tuk, thuk.

When you strike the sword of good and evil with your finger, a pleasant sound echoes throughout the garden.

“Not for any other reason, but for my own survival, that would be the only reason.”

“I see… That answer feels a bit… No, very disappointing.”

What is disappointing? The Emperor closed his eyes and was silent for a moment.

“Don’t ask. “What should I do if my luggage is not allowed?”

With narrowed eyes, he glanced at me and asked.

“Jim, the emperor of the empire, asked you, a subject of the empire, what you would do if you were not allowed to use swords in Ijesti.”

What are you going to do if you don’t tolerate the act of fighting itself?

“It’s a sad thing to say, but if a situation arises where I have to draw my sword, I will.”

I answered that question.

“I will not hesitate to choose you.”

I answered without avoiding the emperor’s eyes.

“hehehe, he is a very arrogant and even dangerous person. Then once…”

Then the emperor looked more intently into my eyes.

“Take it out now.”

He pointed at me with his chin and scolded me in a quiet voice. At the same time.

Grumbling.

A platinum-colored blade came out of the scabbard hanging on the Sword Saint’s waist with a clear sound.
