93 The question my grandfather left behind.

It was almost dawn. I stood by the window and looked out.

Earl Aubrey's rebels are almost overwhelmed. There was a battle going on all over Karl's castle, but it was only a small level of resistance and there was no need to give it much meaning. The majority soon lifted their spirits, and the rebels who resisted to the end were easily overwhelmed.

Aunt Helen approached me.

“Mr. White, how's it going? ”

“Rest assured, we have won. ”

Earl Aubrey's Rebellion has been completely defeated by the unexpected arrival of Earl Meier's large-scale insurgents. Some reached the front of the mansion, but the defenders were blocked at the gate, and the rebel forces that were diverted to attack the defenders were besieged by Earl Meier and destroyed in an instant.

It's a subtlety of inversion. No matter how good a prosecutor may be, it is very difficult to cope with the sudden attack from behind, and Earl Aubrey has been dealt with today.

“Oh, God has been gracious to us. ”

Helen was impressed. She seemed to think that Shura's prophecy had been fulfilled and that she had been saved by her teeth.

I'm a little disappointed, but that's better for everyone.

“Yes.”

Aunt Helen brought young Joseph to thank me.

“Josef, say hello. He is the White Face, the Savior of Life. ”

“Thank you, Mr. White. ”

“Come on. It's all God's grace. ”

The short answer turned my head to the pack. Josef is a fast learner. If I talk for a long time, I might notice my intentions.

When the lady goes far to pray, Josef stands beside me and tilts her head.

“But it's strange. Isn't prophecy God's only option? ”

Kids dig too hard. He can't be too careless. When I look at you as a child, I hurt my nose.

“You have a trust. ”

“Ah, the Holy Mother can listen to the word of God. ”

“Yes."

“By the way, Mr. Lumenox was a bit nicer than I expected. He seemed pretty busy to me. ”

“If you care deeply, you can reach it. ”

“Yes, that's a convenient interpretation. ”

I looked down at Josef some time.

“Do you have a problem with God? ”

“Nothing.”

“Then why are you doing this? ”

“Thank you so much for your deep involvement in human history. You saved my life.”

Clever bastard. He seems to have noticed. Well, if you exclude God, and you judge the situation, I come out.

“Just be thankful. ”

“I have a question about that. ”

“What?”

“Why did God help us? ”

“He loves humans. ”

“Isn't the Rebellion human? ”

“A man who has done wrong by greed. ”

“But all humans behave with greed. ”

Now I know why I hate Josef. This guy's got a bad mouth. The user desperately tries to eat the target.

I clenched Joseph's head with my fist. The most obvious answer since history was violence. If you defeat the opponent properly, all their justice is just puppy philosophy.

“Don't be ridiculous. Be quiet. ”

Josef rubs his head.

“It's reckless. I'm the Grand Duke. ”

“The Grand Duke? You know why the Grand Duke is the Grand Duke? ”

“Because he inherited a great bloodline. ”

I kicked my tongue. This is the limit of young Joseph. Josef now lives within the framework of a tightly packed aristocratic structure.

“Genealogy? Well said. You're the Duke because your father is the Duke. Not because you're so good at it. But I am Caoyan of the Back. I've built up the weight of this name on my own. Never. They're not the same. All right, asshole? ”

“Tsk.”

Josef inflates the ball. It's been a habit of Joseph's childhood for a long time. Joseph struggled like that if he didn't have anything to say. Not to me, of course.

I added a note as I left Josef.

“A good bloodline can only be a dog if you raise it in your family or not. So don't rely too much on your blood and your family. ”

* * *

The battle in Karl's castle ended before sunrise in the morning. Hundreds have been killed or badly wounded in this battle, and the streets are covered in blood.

It was an unfortunate tragedy, but I could see it was self-inflicted. It was a battle that was about to take place, and we had no choice but to have a victim. I was lucky that no one was going to die.

The question is, Father, whether my father cooperates will decide whether my labor will shine or not.

‘Well, he'll cooperate. If you don't cooperate, the damage will only be done to Karl's territory. ’

By morning, His Holiness himself visited the car at the territory. It would be natural for the family to have changed, but Father's expression was much darker than ever. I stopped my father's plan.

As a father, I had no choice but to think that the car was now in the mist of the unknown future.

“Your Majesty, welcome. ”

My father asked Helen on the way out.

“How have you been all night? ”

“Yes. I was saved by the grace of Lumenos. ”

My father followed me around sharply. It seemed to have received a report from the eyes and ears placed within the territory. I went last night and revealed my intentions.

“Hey, you! ”

But my father could no longer speak. You may be angry, but I have Old Cloud beside me.

My father's eyes fluttered.

“Was Duke Cloud here, too? ”

“Yes.”

“It's really spacious. ”

Old Cloud smiles.

“Here comes the concubine. Honestly, I wasn't interested in your territory. ”

“Then why are you here? ”

Old Cloud pointed at me.

“Because this kid has everything I need. But he's so hardworking, he should be able to see his face easily. I had no choice but to come and see you. ”

My father slashed his lips and threw his eyes at me.

“Backbone. Give me a second. ”

“Yes. Whatever it takes. ”

I was willing to accept my father's invitation. I needed my father's help to clean up after me.

I followed my father to the Grand Duke's office in the Central Office.

As soon as I entered the office, my father said in a sharp voice.

“White cotton. You did a very interesting job this time in the territory of Karl. ”

“I didn't have much fun. ”

“Well, if it's fun, it's not human. But where did you learn such deceitful and illicit politics? ”

I did not deny him anything but taste it.

Honestly, it's a trick. The user conceals its intent, injects a tremendous amount of information into the target, causing the target to become distracted, and then achieves its Summoning Goal. It was a bit large, but it was common practice for fraudsters.

I sat on a sofa.

“I'm not trying to do that, I'm just running out of time. Apologies if you feel bad. ”

“An apology is not the end of it. Do you have any idea what you've done this time? ”

“Yes, roughly. ”

I raised my voice to see if my father was angry.

“I'm not going to do anything about it! We should have handled this more clearly. ”

“Yes, it is. The Empire won't be able to convince us of this. ”

“You knew that well and you did this? ”

“Yes.”

My father opened his eyes.

“Why? ”

“Just sprinkle a few seasonings on it and the Empire will be fine." Oh, you already sprinkled one. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“Grand Duke Cloud has already convinced me. I decided to ignore it if it went my way. ”

He slowly approached me. The most threatening crisis my father poses is Old Cloud's reverse. If Grandpa doesn't like the Grand Duke, he pulls out his sword and the Karl family is finished.

If old Cloud said he was tolerant, the crisis in Karl's territory would be greatly reduced.

“Is that really what Duke Cloud said? ”

“Yes. Otherwise I would have done the knife dance already. And I wouldn't have had anything to do with it. ”

My father just sat on the couch across from me.

“I'll tell you what, then. What's your solution? ”

“Get the scorpion Independent to step away from my political front, near Kaar. ”

“And?”

“Make Earl Meier your Territory Management Representative. ”

“Is that all?”

My father accepted my terms without a word. Originally, he was going to kill all the Independents of the Gyeongsaw, and Earl Meier's return was his father's wish.

“Of course, you'll have to ask for the Empire's cooperation. ”

“It's a natural order. But not enough. What's next? ”

“Make Kar the central doctrine of the territory a yin and yang doctrine. ”

My father hesitated here.

“But the Yosrahim Empire is a nation that believes in the doctrine of light. ”

“But the Founding Fate is a yin yang doctrine. And the conservatives of the authentic Yosrahim family believe in yin yang doctrine. ”

“That's why the emperor is displeased with the repairman. Their claims are detrimental to national interests. ”

“But it can't be far. They are the force of the empire itself. ”

Repairmen have great power in the military instead of being excluded from the munchies. Without their cooperation, not a handful of troops could move.

That's why my uncle, the emperor, is not a pretentious repairman. They protect themselves and the peace of the Empire.

“Hold hands with the repairman? ”

“Yes. Probably not both. The Conservators carry empire foreign nationals on their backs, and the Karl family is protected by the Conservators.

“But the repairman are an outsider. We Tajikis don't join hands easily. ”

“I'll connect the Karl family with the repair crew. ”

The repairman believed in the ideology of the nation, and the Dalahan was the ideology of the nation. If I connect the two through Shura, I can hold hands well enough.

My father showed great interest. Under the protection of the Repairmen, Cars' territory is safer than ever. The Repairmen are extremely exclusive, but they take good care of the people inside their fences. In other words, if the emperor attacks the territory of Ka, it is like attacking the entire Maintenance Party.

“Not bad. ”

“That's good. Honestly, what is one of the reasons why the Unsullied are so strongly against the Empire? Isn't it because their dark doctrine descended from the generations of our forefathers was denied? ”

“That's right."

“But the doctrine of the Lamb contains the doctrine of darkness, and the god of the Lamb and the creator of Lumenos is the father of Knox, the god of darkness. As an independent observer, religious beliefs don't have to be broken, so there will be a lot of less complaints. ”

However, the doctrine of Yin Yang includes the doctrine of darkness. This means that many of Karl's nobles and people who secretly believe in the doctrines of darkness can now follow the doctrines of darkness openly.

My father looked at me.

“And there will be a 35% increase in political groups within the empire believing in yin and yang doctrines. ”

I rolled my eyes.

It's not that I don't understand my father's doubts, but I didn't do this for any personal gain. There was, of course, a little bit because I didn't want anything, but it was quite pure. It's true.

“Yes. A little bit more. ”

“Are you willing to expand yin within your empire? ”

“It's good to expand. because all religions value cannibalism. ”

“Then you will rule the politics of the empire through the Lady of the Lamb? ”

I scratched my nose in trouble.

“If it's not for religious reasons, I don't want to get involved. ”

“Sounds like you want to be involved. There is no grave without an excuse. ”

It's a necklace if you put it on your nose, and earrings if you put it on your ear. Religious doctrines are vast and varied, so if you put anything in, it becomes a political cause.

“So what do you want to do? ”

“Well, I'm in a position to accept that. Got it.”

“You thought well. ”

“But I don't want you to do this next time. I wasn't aware of your existence this time, but not the next. Do you understand?”

“Yes, I know. ”

“Good.”

My father finally decided to accept my offer. My intentions may be confusing, but there is no other option unless my father's plans have been thoroughly compromised in the past. And the method I propose has the least damage to the car's territory.

* * *

When I left the palace, I could see Old Cloud waiting for me.

“Why else? ”

“How did it go? ”

“Yes.”

“Then I guess I should tell you. ”

It seemed like they wanted a price for their labor. Talking about the effects of the soul.

“I'm not done yet. ”

“Are you trying to feed me for the rest of your life? ”

“This is done with the renovation and the merging of cars. ”

“I'll go first and say it well. Duke Brendel will listen to me. ”

I had a taste for it. Who wouldn't listen to Grandpa Cloud? If you don't want to die, just pretend you're jealous, and you'll understand.

“Okay, I'll tell you. Instead, it is a secret to others. I have another use for it. ”

“Of course.”

I whispered in Grandpa's ear.

“The soul is not affected by time when it leaves the body. ”

“Huh?"

“For example, we can go back in time. So spirits exist in the past, present, and future simultaneously, and are indistinguishable from time. ”

Grandpa tilts his head. I just meant a concept that was completely unintelligible from a general point of view.

“What does that mean? ”

“Come on. Let's say your soul goes back in time and enters your young body. Is that moment the future or the past? ”

Grandpa Cloud thought for a moment and replied.

“The future and the past. ”

“Yes. And the present of the grandfather who lives there is the present and the past and the future. That means that even the brief departure of the soul and the return to the past makes the concept of time a complete mess. ”

“That's why the soul transcends nature's great laws of time. ”

“That's right. This wouldn't have happened if it wasn't. ”

Old Cloud wet his dry lips with his tongue.

“Chaos itself. ”

“Yeah, something like that. ”

All of a sudden, old Cloud sits there helplessly.

“Well, this is it. This was it. Was there such a simple logic? ”

“What?”

Grandpa Cloud bursts through the bulkhead like something's jammed.

“Hahaha. All this time I've been deceived by the people of the world. Of course, don't be fooled. ”

“Grandpa, what's wrong? ”

Grandpa got up and told me.

“Backbone. The world is not made of nothing. Created out of chaos. So there's harmony in chaos, there's the law of all things in chaos. ”

“Huh?"

“Thanks for the white face today. I should probably get going. Sure."

After Grandpa thanked me, he hurriedly flew to the portal tower.

“Grandpa! You can't just say that and go! You're gonna have to explain that to me! Hey, hey, hey. Hey!”

I made a ridiculous face. That old man is strange. Makes people curious and just goes away. You seem to have noticed something, but there is no explanation for Katabuta.
