Hwangseong (3)

It was only for a moment, but the emperor deliberately showed me the system window.

He had no intention of hiding from me that he could handle the system.

It’s a bargo that I’ve already expected, and it’s not even a surprising story.

Because this is what I was expecting.

‘How much did he use that power?’

There is a background setting of the emperor that was hidden from the system window.

he hid it

But obviously, I remembered the setting. Because it was an important setting to just skip.

In this world, there was one power that could fundamentally change the world, but it existed in the setting.

return. power to return to the past. However, the person with that power was not the main character.

The emperor has the power of return.

Of course, it wasn’t the power the main character had in the first place, it was just a story based on the setting.

He doesn’t even appear in the main story.

However, the story is different if the emperor is the one who created the system.

The possibility that the world has returned several times without even knowing it.

so it’s dangerous

More than any beings I’ve ever met, the man in front of me was truly dangerous.

More than anything, it might be that you know me really thoroughly.

“Meet Your Majesty, the Brilliant Sun of the Empire. It’s the first time I’ve seen you, but I’ve heard many stories from my father. As a servant of the Empire, I am also faithful.”

I looked at him as carefully as I could and greeted him with respect for the Emperor.

YuRia also lowered her head a little belatedly.

There was a mixture of unfamiliarity and fear in her hesitant attitude.

Although he is her own father, the emperor is a stranger to her.

No, not only to her, but to everyone in this country, the emperor would be a strange and feared existence.

The absolute ruler who reigns over the empire. At the same time a veiled hermit. Fear is the only emotion that can be felt by an unknown predator.

However, people except me do not know.

Why is the Emperor really feared?

“Enough with the disgusting bluff. I wouldn’t have come here for that.”

At that, I let out a small laugh and straightened my body.

Judging from the fact that it just came out strong from the beginning, it was also an excuse for Yuria to call me out.

I thought it would come out like this from the beginning. I guess you don’t want to waste time

“That’s right.”

At my words, the emperor sat down lazily on the chair with a subtle smile on his face.

It was a leisurely movement that could be considered conceited.

Contrary to his laid-back attitude, the light in his eyes was sharp.

It’s a little bit, but I feel a sense of intimidation.

After looking at me for a moment, the emperor turned his eyes to look at his daughter.

“Hick… .”

Yuria reflexively grabbed my clothes.

Although it was a mistake not to be made in front of the emperor,

“My daughter has changed. I didn’t know you could make it like that.”

Even though he said that, it was a tone that seemed insignificant.

No, on the contrary, it seemed to even feel interest and fun.

“His Highness YuRia has been relying on me a lot lately.”

“willpower? It’s similar. Just change your words a little. Do you want to play puns with me?”

At first, he just giggled, but then he started laughing as if he couldn’t stand it.

‘Something different… .’

I felt a sense of incongruity in that appearance.

As expected, it was different from the setting of the emperor I knew.

Was the original emperor like that?

If it was the original, it would have been a little more serious.

But now it’s such a light attitude that I can’t imagine it.

‘It’s different from the fact that the system was created in the first place. Did people change because of the regression?’

The setting of being in hiding is the same.

The problem is that it only looks the same.

The emperor who created the system window definitely looked like a different being from the original.

I waited until the emperor, who had been laughing for a long time, stopped laughing.

He opened his mouth, rubbing the corners of his eyes that were slightly dripping with tears from laughing.

“fun. It’s fun. Leonhard Deinhart, were you like this? Why didn’t you know until now? that’s interesting.”

A faint curiosity flashed on his face. This reaction is not smoke-like.

I don’t know how I acted in the past, but at least I didn’t act this way.

“It’s an honor to be able to make Your Majesty smile. Then would it be all right if I ask you something first, Your Majesty?”

The emperor brushed his bangs up and narrowed his eyes.

“Tell me.”

I hope you will ask this question.

I didn’t even think we would ever meet in the first place.

At least while I’m alive.

“Your Majesty is quite different from the impression I have been given.”

“Is it that much different? You probably don’t even know me that well. Isn’t that all you heard from your father?”

“…That’s what I’ve been told.”

His blue eyes stared at me.

It’s similar to Yuria, but the warmth in her eyes is completely different.

The corners of the eyes are gently curved. But the gaze is cold, like snow in the middle of winter.

His eyes have only one intention.

he was searching me

It’s like trying to open something very strange and dangerous like a bomb one by one.

‘Wait, look? why?’

Something is strange.

I thought you would know something about me through endless regression.

‘Could it be that the emperor doesn’t even know me?’

To me who woke up in this world, the system window was a completely new element that was not originally in the original work.

why is there such a thing At first, I thought that this was something handed to me by the world or something like a real god.

But no.

After digging through it, this system was created by someone in this world.

Realizing that fact, he was suspicious of the Constellations at first, but he wasn’t either.

There was someone else who stole the power of the Constellations and created the system.

From the first time I knew about it, I was suspicious of the emperor.

If he had the power of regression, it might be possible to create a system through countless regressions.

But I quickly erased that doubt from my mind. They thought that the emperor could not have used his power.

Because nothing has changed between the original work I knew and the present. Anything except the ones I’ve changed.

So I inadvertently thought that this world was a world that never returned.

After learning that the emperor created the system, it was different.

It was assumed that he had gone through countless regressions.

But isn’t that also?

‘There’s something different from what I expected…?’

Feeling bewildered, it spun so quickly that my head felt pounding.

What conclusion did you reach at the end of your thoughts?

If this idea is correct, then all the premises up until now are messed up.

Now that the premise is messed up, only one thing is certain.

“You look nervous. Straighten your face.”

“Because it is in front of Your Majesty. sorry.”

I lowered my head slightly and hid my expression.

‘If I return here, it will be the end.’

What the conditions for the regression were and how to perform the regression were not written in the notice I saw.

That said, I don’t know how to counter his powers of regression.

If he is arrogant because of the regression, it should be possible to cut off the power of the regression with the strongest sword.

But rather, at that moment, because that is the condition, regression can be triggered.

So for now, I’ll pretend I don’t know what I know about regression until it’s outlined.

“Don’t do this. I didn’t call you just to stand in front of me. Is there anything you want to say?”

The emperor dug in at once.

For a moment, it seemed that the emperor had read my thoughts, and an eerie aura spread all the way down my spine.

If this is the case, he might not even notice.

Rather, it was time to make a head-on breakthrough in order to hide the fact that I knew something.

“Yes. Then I will ask you a question. Are you the one who created the system, Your Majesty?”

The emperor raised his chin high.

He neither denied nor affirmed.

Soon the emperor’s lips twisted.

Like disappointed.

“Not the question I was expecting. I thought it was something different this time. Are you asking me again about something you already know?”

He shook his head and got up from his seat.

and walked in front of me

It was an arrogant gait that seemed to have the world under its feet. He stopped in front of me.

I don’t know if his purpose will harm me yet.

But if it harms me and my people, I will crush it.

As I thought so, I just stood still and faced him.

Even if I am the emperor, even if I can regress, I also have the means to oppose it.

“Is His Majesty the Emperor saying something to me?”

“okay. ask I called you to ask.”

The emperor’s gaze, as if trying to find out who I was, was still the same.

That’s it.

“You haven’t fully completed your achievements yet, but you’ve already solved four of your five ruins. That beats my expectations… .”

He opened his mouth slightly, as if he didn’t know what to say.

“In a way. In fact, it can be said that the achievement has been achieved. How could I have done that?”

At that moment I realized

The reason why the emperor called me and why he was trying to search for me was finally clear.

“You don’t really remember? Leonhard Danehart.”

Before the emperor’s regression, I must have been the main character in an ordinary original novel.

In other words, this guy doesn’t know me. Because you’ve never experienced me

I was the first irregular to appear in this guy’s return.

So now this arrogant emperor is less of a threat to me than before.

I tilted my head with a puzzled look on my face.

“What are you talking about? your majesty. What do I have to remember?”

At first glance at my answer, the relief seemed to have passed on the emperor’s face.

regression ability. It seems that they don’t want to find out about its existence.

You should have watched me until now, but the Emperor still doesn’t know who I am.

what i know A map of what to do.

But on the contrary, I know about the Emperor.

It was time to show that I wasn’t everything that this guy watched.
