349 What's happening under the sky without me.

“Master Joseph. That's what happened? ”

Parenting room in a palace.

Katrina, who was sitting on a rocking chair holding a zerofrit in silence, clenched her fist as soon as she heard my news.

Josef cautiously reports back.

“Yes, under the circumstances, it's not at all unlikely. But don't get your hopes up. because right now it's just a guess. ”

“No, there's a lot of possibilities. ”

“But there were two mysterious men and women who appeared to King Kara at the time. It's still difficult to decide as a big brother. ”

Katrina opens her eyes sharply.

“No, it's even weirder that there's no woman by his side after a long time. Of course it has to be two people. No, it might have come back to three by now. ”

“Hey, you're being ridiculous. ”

I stood by and protested.

This woman treats me like a complete and utter pervert.

I'm the one who's trying to defeat Infinitus for humanity.

And Katrina was in no position to say that.

Not long ago, she was cheating on my other woman with a married man.

Katrina stares at me.

“What doesn't make sense? ”

“I understand wanting a lover to live, of course, but that's not how you win minds. Why should there be a woman of course next to the Grand Duke? ”

“So you don't think you're there? ”

I rolled my eyes.

I was sure of it, and I had plans to grow.

“I mean, let's not make an assertion without checking it out. I mean, at the end of the day, after everything we've done for humanity, there could be accidents and women, right? ”

“What accident? ”

“Well, there's no way I'd know if I hadn't seen it. But what's certain is that it was a force majeure accident. ”

Katrina tilts her head, looking at me quietly.

“That's odd. Jan hates that kind of man. Why is he sitting at the center of empire power? ”

“It's not a father, it's a rational reasoning. The Duke of Jan is not like that at all. ”

“Then who do you think Jan is? ”

“A wise, intelligent and reasonable person. ”

Katrina shakes her head.

“You're smart enough to rationalize yourself. ”

I'm boiling inside.

No matter how much I mistook myself for not being here, it was so unfair of me to take such an unfounded slander.

There was no one I could trust in the world.

I had no idea that Siegfried's mother would talk to me like this.

Josef rushed into our conversation.

“Brother-in-law, we have a decision to make. If he's alive, the plan we're working on right now is too dangerous. ”

“Why?”

“You are the embodiment of power. He hates the act of power that doesn't suit his tastes, and he must pay for it with Purge. ”

“Hey! What's wrong with you? ”

As I shouted, Josef looked at me curiously.

“What's that? ”

“Not even the incarnation of power, to be honest. It would be very unfair for the Grand Duke to condemn such a thing as wielding the blade of death in order to defend humanity. ”

“But didn't you say earlier that the fact that you don't have a competitor is purged for the most powerful person? ”

“That's what my father said. ”

“What father?”

I realized I'd made an excitement speech mistake and made a hasty correction.

“Duke Jan's father. Duke Carr.”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Baron comes forward.

“Grand Duke Josef is right. Madam, you'd better bite down this time. If Prince Siegfried rises to the throne, as we planned, and then Jade Duke Jan really comes back alive, it could be very challenging. ”

“What situation? ”

“Emperor Siegfried brought to light, and Grand Duke Jan became the new emperor. ”

I gave Baron a sharp glance.

I don't know what you're talking about with this human.

I mean, where is the son in all the world and the father of the emperor?

This made my family want to turn into bean powder.

Katrina sweeps her face away, perhaps in the same way.

“Absolutely not. If it were, our genealogy would be a genealogy. Okay, so the plan is to stay temporarily backwards until we know Jann's life. As long as I'm around, I can always change about the Scarecrow Emperor. ”

Eventually, as I intended, Emperor Simon survived.

If there is only a problem, it is success that is only a wound.

I didn't know it before I died, but now I've been treated by all men as a very greedy, illuminating man-whore.

That was absolutely not possible.

I can't believe I'm being framed for a noble sacrifice for mankind.

It was never supposed to happen.

* * *

“How did it go? ”

After escaping the castle, Degenia asked me if I could succeed.

Once Simon the Emperor survived, I shook my head.

“Huh."

“That's great. ”

I immediately turned my back.

“What's going on! ”

“Why? Did something else happen? ”

“Yes. Something very serious has happened. ”

“What's going on? ”

“An insult to the dead. I mean, people don't need to grieve when they're dead, and these people don't have the courage to argue about their power. ”

Degenia rolls her eyes.

In fact, she had ears, so she couldn't have heard it.

“Ah.”

I grabbed the itchy forehead.

“And Katrina recognized that I might be alive. We must also solve this problem. ”

“How.”

“Silence everyone at Polkin Gateway. Can you do that? ”

“You can use hallucination magic, but how long? ”

“Start now, and continue until I tell you to finish. ”

“Yes, I understand. And again?"

I opened my eyes sharply.

“I'm going to Jores Island now. ”

“No, why? ”

“I must make sure of something. ”

“What happened? ”

I gripped my teeth.

“They don't mourn my death, they lack a power struggle. They treat me like a human being. That's why we need to check everything. That's what everyone's thinking. ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Honestly, I didn't doubt Padilla would mourn my death as much.

She was passionate enough to like me for collecting portraits in the past.

Moreover, when I visited Kara before, I saw the defense forces and refugees holding a memorial for me briefly.

It was definitely something I could read indirectly about Padilla grieving my death.

But judging by Katrina's actions, it was inevitable that she was somewhat suspicious.

I needed to be clear.

“Let's go quickly. It's urgent.”

“Yes.”

As soon as I got out of Yosrahim, I immediately moved to the island of Jores.

The last place I heard was New Kara on the south coast.

It was a new city that was created to be Kara's kingdom during the Age of Destruction because it was less populated by magic invasions than anywhere else.

A palace in the center of New Kara.

Obviously, with permission to enter, I was surrounded by maids in the garden, and I saw a child enjoying a ball, and I was impressed.

It was just Charles.

“This guy has a dead father, and he's got that look on his face? ”

Daenerys, who knew how I felt, said carefully.

“He's just a kid. ”

“No matter how young you are. If you've studied so much, shouldn't you think about it and live? ”

“I've studied a lot, but I'm still a child. ”

I approached my son with a very disdainful face.

“Prince Charles. ”

Charles stopped playing ball on my call and looked at me.

“Who are you? ”

“You don't need to know who. Is it okay for the prince to act like this? ”

“What do you mean? ”

I look stunning at Charles' sensible attitude.

“Your father died a while ago. ”

“What do you mean Avamar's dead? What's that supposed to mean? ”

“Don't you know? Where is the prince's father now? ”

“The kingdom of heaven.”

“That's what's dead! ”

Charles tilted his head with a naïve face, and a maid hurriedly approached me and whispered in my ear.

“Have you forgotten the queen's order to keep the secret to the prince? ”

“Really?"

“Yes. So Prince Charles now believes that his father has traveled far. ”

It was somewhat reassuring.

If I didn't know I was dead, my current behavior would make sense.

“Well, then we have no choice. ”

“So watch your mouth from now on. ”

“Okay, but where's Padilla? ”

“He's in the palace discussing politics with the new recruits. ”

I opened my eyes like fire.

“What? The king's dead, and you're already stopping the song and discussing politics? ”

“Isn't that something you have to do? This is a very pressing time when human dignity is at stake. ”

However, the age of destruction had begun, but it was hard for the Queen of Mankind to mourn.

I could understand everything.

As long as I was grieving my death, I could tolerate all of Padilla's actions except the wind.

“Well, okay. This is what we had to do. Then I'll be on my way. Take care of the prince. ”

“Yes.”

As I left, I glanced at Charles.

His son was making a very innocent face, but he had a rather mean smile on his mouth.

I felt like I knew something about that.

‘Is that really...? ’

But there was no way for me to know what was inside my son.

Even if I become a Soul Master, I can't see into people's hearts.

* * *

“Find it now! ”

As soon as you enter the battle, you hear Padilla's old age.

There seems to have been a major incident, but I didn't know about it.

“My queen, calm down. Nothing has been confirmed yet. ”

“But that's not at all unlikely, is it? ”

Padilla sharply shoots me as I enter the battle.

She was now perceiving me as some sort of a latecomer to the war council.

Normally, it would be prudent, but she was continuing the meeting to see if there was anything else important.

“General Nazir. Come out and talk about the situation. ”

Nazir came forward.

“I'm sure I've heard that voice before. It was very similar to the king. ”

Padilla said to me, "I'm looking for something big."

“General Nazir says, They say that the person who subdued hundreds of thousands of flying magic sounded just like Grand Duke Jan. Moreover, he reasonably doubted the case in the Palace of Josrahim and contacted us about it. Then why do you say you are not? ”

I was extremely hot inside.

Padilla had doubts about my survival.

The whole world may soon know that I am alive.

Perhaps after that, I will face the situation of pearls on lovers' backs.

An old man came out with a embarrassed face.

“But the human race is in a grave situation. If your father were alive, would you pretend not to know us? ”

“That man deserves a proper greeting. He must be having an affair somewhere enjoying freedom. It's obvious from what we've done so far. ”

An emergency situation that could expose me to my survival.

But I came forward with impunity and said with courage.

“No. My father would never do that. ”

Padilla narrows her eyes at me.

“You don't know your father that well as this country has become new? You are so incompetent. ”

“Of course, the king has several lovers. But it's not much of a league compared to other powerful men. We're not even 10 yet. ”

“What? So you can listen to your lover? ”

I straightened my back and said,

“There's no reason not to. I can't believe my father, the most powerful man in the world, doesn't have more than 10 lovers. If anyone hears you, swear at me. ”

Padilla's gaze shifted sharply, and I was appalled by my predicament.

Padilla gives you a warning soon.

“Are you sure you want to die? ”

I felt her life instinctively backing away.

Right now, I've only been one freshman.

“No, that's what I'm saying. And at this point in mourning the death of your father, what is this costly event? If we have time for this, we might as well open another memorial. ”

“But he's alive? ”

“How can a dead person be alive? ”

“He did.”

“You just heard voices, right? There are countless voices that resemble the rest of the world. ”

Nazir slips in the noise.

“The back was very similar to the king himself. ”

Padilla shakes her head.

“See?”

I sighed loudly.

“Okay, great. Let's say your father is alive. What are we gonna do if we bring in someone who's hiding? ”

“As a father, I must fulfill my duty as a husband. ”

I blinked my eyes.

Even if I say I miss you, it seems too late to insist only on my duties because I'm a wreck.

“Is there any other reason? ”

“What do you mean? ”

“Do you want to see it because you love it, or something? ”

Padilla smirks.

“Huh. Do you love him? I gave up the day he brought the van to Katrina. Oh, my God, you brought me to Valkyrie as a lover. Humans would gladly cheat on me with the Goddess of Heaven if I had the chance. ”

It was a very unfair plot, but I couldn't argue with it.

If it wasn't for Degenia, I would have caught the pod. The riddle of Padilla was already true.

I swooped back without a word.

The same was true of Padilla.

She was only in remembrance of me, the hero of her time as queen, and she had never done anything to worry about me.

"Good. So are you, Padilla." We'll see. ’
