The Place Where I Was Sold as a Slave Was the Imperial Palace - The Place Where I Was Sold as a Slave Was the Imperial Palace chapter 178

177 Mice and crows don’t get along

It is the land of the empire before you know it. The air and the soil must be no different from Crete, but somehow it felt warm and sweet.

When he was in the kingdom of Crete, he felt frustrated as if a millstone had been placed on his heart, but when he thought that he was returning home along the road where new sprouts sprouted, he danced heart-rendingly, even with so many horrors attached to the back of his head.

Rudy smiled bitterly and slowly drove away.

It seems the soldiers are the same.

Soldiers with wives and children are excited to meet their families, and soldiers who are still young are happy to play by exchanging wooden cards for money. The slave soldier was excited about the little leave he received after a major war.

The courageous appearance on the battlefield was nowhere to be seen, and everyone’s faces bloomed brightly like sunflowers bathed in sunlight.

But while everyone was happy, only one person became sad as if his heart was sinking into a cold lake.

***

The crow is always by her side, but he goes to many places at the same time.

Since one crow left behind by the founder controls all other birds, information about crows in other places came in moment by moment.

A low-end soldier at the end of the Imperial Army said happily.

[My empress would be delighted. Every time I see him running to His Majesty, I smile strangely.]

The old soldier who was leading the way at the head of the imperial army was laughing with his eyes narrowed.

[Is His Majesty finally getting an heir? Empress Mama’s 18 years old, as Her Majesty kept talking about, has now passed.]

The aides who always stand by the emperor laugh and talk.

[I got a call from the imperial palace. They say the preparations for your first night are perfect. The incense that excites the heart, the top-notch perfume that was hard to find and burned…]

it’s not audible However, the emotions the crow felt when they heard them were conveyed, and I could almost grasp what the people were saying.

Never before have crows had such intense transmission abilities. However, as their master, the emperor, was nearby, their power grew stronger, and now they are overflowing. Because of that, the inaudible sound was transmitted directly to the Witch of the West through all of the crow’s senses.

It would be better if you couldn’t hear it. It would be nice to return to the empire without feeling anything and knowing nothing, but the emperor’s excessive power did not allow it.

The Witch of the West leaned her head against the wagon wall. My body bounces because of the rattling wagon. At that time, my head also shook and hit the wall.

The crow looked at her with wide, worried eyes. The black eyes of the crow shine in the mottled background that does not resemble reality.

The Witch of the West made an effort to smile.

‘are you okay. It’s because I’m a little tired.’

“…”

The crow stared at her with an expressionless face. don’t believe your own words Like her heart, it’s probably all leaked to the crow, so I can’t fake it.

Still, the Witch of the West smiled deceptively.

Unlike other witches, the Witch of the West does not directly minister to animals.

Collecting crows and persistently creating magic passages in their bodies are all done by the crows left behind by the progenitor.

That’s why the Witch of the West can enslave crows much faster and more than other witches.

The only thing the Witch of the West did was share her magical powers with the crows of the founder and the birds he tamed.

As such, I didn’t want to cause them any more trouble, even if it was the smallest. I don’t want to let them know that I am sad and suffering.

Then the crow is also sad.

The words left by the progenitor were very binding, and the crow reacted very sensitively to the Witch of the West’s heart.

The Witch of the West gently stroked the crow’s head and closed her eyes.

‘Everything about me is made up of the affection he gave me.’

But he doesn’t own himself.

The distance that had been getting a little closer felt like it was getting farther and farther away as we got closer to the imperial palace. All the little warmth the emperor showed went back to the empress. Gradually, sadness built up in my heart.

Amidst the rattling wagon, the crow silently looked at herself.

Sorry. let me cry for a while Tomorrow you will surely be able to smile.

“My God, Mama. Your eyes are red.”

Tyra let out a small scream as she cupped her cheeks with both hands.

The other ladies-in-waiting also had blue faces.

They took turns looking into Lilitha’s face one by one, and started to make a fuss with desperate voices.

“How are you doing this? His Majesty arrives a little later, but I’ve become a rabbit.”

“Why is it only now?”

“Shall we change the jewels in the hair ornament to match the color of Mama’s eyes?”

Hearing the ladies-in-waiting, Lirisha’s head fell. I’m sorry everyone. I’m really sorry.

I couldn’t sleep a wink all night. Thinking of meeting Rudy for the first time in years made my eyes go wild because my head was so complicated. The more I try to sleep, the clearer my eyes become. It wasn’t like that on purpose.

The baroness quickly gave instructions.

“Mama, please close your eyes for a moment. You must never open your eyes. Tyra, you go to the doctor’s office and find Pablo. Explain that Mama’s eyes are red, and she will give you what she needs.”

Tyra hurriedly leaves the room, while the other ladies-in-waiting busily move on. A cold wet towel was placed over Lilitha’s eyes.

“sorry.”

When Lilitha spoke with her eyes closed and her face downcast, the baroness seemed to smile slightly.

“It’s okay, Mama. I’m here for this.”

I closed my eyes and the pictures of s*x education I had learned so far spun around in my head. I was tired of watching it last night, but I’m not tired of it and I think of it again. i want to stop watching My shoulders drooped to the ground.

You get used to anything.

s*x education pictures, which were gross at first, became not so unfamiliar after a year or two.

Later, they got used to it, to the point where they secretly gathered together with the ladies-in-waiting and flirted with each other over the picture.

While looking at the painting without the Baroness’s knowledge, we mischievously lamented that we were corrupt women, and we poked the men and women in the painting with our fingers and screamed. It would be better not to say where it was stabbed.

But a painting was just a painting. I didn’t substitute a real live person there.

But when the day Rudy arrives, I realize that the drawing is what real people do. My God, my God, my God.

Besides, the s*x education teacher taught the basics, but didn’t tell me what the baroness said or what was really important.

I didn’t teach you how to seduce men and play with your body!

I was only able to learn the very basics of how men and women harmonize with their bodies.

I begged the baroness for a bit, but the answer came back saying that the rest was learned from her husband.

But even then, I didn’t feel like this. Maybe I was in the mood to play. Without realizing it, I think I just thought it would happen in the distant future.

I closed my eyes and thought about this and that, but I heard the screams of the ladies-in-waiting.

“what’s the matter?”

As I was about to open my eyes in surprise, the baroness said to Lilitha.

“Mama, please keep your eyes closed. It’s nothing special. There was just a dead crow outside the window.”

The ladies-in-waiting came to the side and whispered loudly.

“But Mama, that really is.”

“Hundreds of crows are dead outside the window.”

“Witch of the West isn’t here, but she seems to be able to command crows from afar.”

“Being a witch is really scary, isn’t it?”

“What the hell happened last night?”

“It might be bullying. Why, you know, Mama. Giving dead bugs as gifts.”

At the words of the ladies-in-waiting, the baroness said in amazement.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Mama is the empress of the empire, and Mama West is just a witch. Who is bullying whom?”

At the baroness’s words, the ladies-in-waiting became quiet. The baroness continued in a stern voice.

“You must not stir up strange feelings in Mama. The West Witch is officially the recipient of Imperial Rust. She is Your Majesty’s servant. There must not be a gap between Mama and Your Majesty’s servant over something that is not certain.”

That’s what she said, but the baroness was the first to explore the Witch of the West’s surroundings. She had heard from Tyra that she had asked the attendants if she seduced the emperor.

I suddenly remembered Jerry’s busy wandering around last night. Maybe it’s what Jerry did. But why? Where did you gather the crows from?

Rilisha thought about that for a while before sighing. Now, that doesn’t matter. Rudy is coming in a few hours right now.

The ladies-in-waiting seemed to think so as well, and the talk about the crow gradually faded away, and the empress’ palace resumed busily preparing for the arrival of the emperor.

***

It was around the time that the imperial capital was barely left.

Suddenly, something glowing in the distance quickly approached the Imperial Army. Very fast. It looked as if lightning was moving along the floor.

“Oh!”

“Those!”

A gasp of surprise erupted from the soldiers’ mouths.

Rudy tilted his head as he watched it from the top of his horse.

If your eyes aren’t wrong, that’s a bunch of mice. Of course, they were the mice of light made by Rudy. As if they were trying to fight the Imperial Army, they were running full of life.

Behind the group of mice, some distance away, penguins slide down on their stomachs as if they were swimming in the sea.

Between the mouse and the penguin, there were foxes and sparrows, and other demonic creatures that Rudy had attached to Lilitha.

Everyone was swollen and angry.

‘Why are the children who should be in the imperial palace here?’

It was the moment Rudy thought about.

Crows traveling with the army cawed and flapped their wings.

Suddenly, hundreds of crows soared into the air.

The crows immediately flew towards the demonic creatures.

In the Wicked Witch of the West’s wagon, a raven appeared that never left her side. When the chief crow caws loudly, all the nearby crows fly away.

Thousands of crows overthrew the demonic creatures.

However, demonic creatures without substance climbed up by themselves and pierced the body of the crow.

Then, as if riding on top of a crow, it covers the entire bird. When the two came together, it looked like a raven glowing.

The imperial army’s march stopped, and the battle between the crow and the demons began. Here and there, caws, cries of sharp attacks were heard, and crows screamed again.

Patter Patter, the crow fell to the ground. I don’t know if he died or passed out. Everywhere there was a flurry of black birds and bright lights.

The Witch of the West came out of the wagon as if embarrassed. But she doesn’t seem to know why either. Confused, I was screaming what was going on.

“…”

I don’t know, but this is a fight between Lilitha and the Witch of the West. Lilitha couldn’t have ordered it, so it’s probably a war of creatures that they don’t know about and are on her side.

Rudy’s eyebrows went up.

“you.”

The moment Rudi was about to speak, two phoenixes suddenly appeared.

The two phoenixes tilted their heads to look at Rudi’s face, then flew into the air as if they knew something.

The phoenix flaps its large wings slowly and spins around the crows and monsters.

Brilliant light fell from their wings and spread in all directions. The light clung to the crows and demonic creatures as if they had a will.

Then, all of a sudden, crows and monsters rolled on the floor.

The crow screamed in agony.

The demon creature didn’t make a sound, but it opened its mouth wide and emitted electricity from its body.

“…”

The place became quiet.

The soldiers seemed a bit surprised by the behavior of the phoenix, who was normally beautiful and gentle.

Rudy muttered involuntarily as he saw the crows and demon creatures rolling all over the floor.

‘Hey, isn’t that a bit harsh?’

As if the two phoenixes had heard the words in their hearts, they slightly turned their heads to look at Rudi. Its appearance is no different from usual. It was still gentle and beautiful.

The phoenix moved its beak several times as if making a sound, as if it had nothing to do with Rudi’s command.

A blue light came out of the beak like a pompong soap bubble and spread in all directions.

Wherever the light hits, the pain seems to be alleviated. Only then did the crows and mice droop down, breathing heavily.

[…]

As if the two phoenixes were to blame, when they saw the crows and monsters, they all rushed in front of Rudy. And he bowed his head as if he was reflecting. They are pitiful faces.

Smoke rose from the crows and monsters as if their bodies were burnt in places.

The seal is strict.

Rudy sighed and opened his mouth.

“You guys, don’t fight and get along well. It’s good for each of you to be for your master, but you shouldn’t be a nuisance to anyone.”

This time, the captain crow bowed his head. Was it you

Rudy vigorously flicked the head of the chief crow with his fingers.

“Lilitha is my wife. If you do any harm, I will roast the whole crow and eat it.”

[…Caw!]

Seeing the leader crow lowering his head as if he knew it, Rudy gave a small smile. I don’t know what happened, but I hope we get along well in the future.
