Chapter 80 (1/2)

Thud Thud Thud!

The next day, the emperor was heading somewhere as soon as he had gotten up.

His footsteps wandering around the palace stopped at a prayer room which was deep in the Imperial Palace.

“I will say my prayers, which you need to make sure that no one listens.”

“Yes, your majesty!”

The knights called for the royal knights and stood outside the place.

Rudolf looked around and opened the door to the prayer room.

The prayer room was dedicated to the emperor, and only he had the permission to enter.

Statues made of ivory from the southern continent were placed in the front, on the left and right sides of the wall were hanging lanterns painted with gold and pearl powder.

On the table in front of the statue was a candle burning with a mild scent. Each time it was smelled the spirit felt purified.

“You have come?”

“Why did you call me? That too when I was busy?”

“I have a question to ask. Is the curse on the bloodline of Rakan still maintained?”

Rudolf asked, with an annoyed voice the shadow spoke,

“Each time the descendants of Rakan had been born, I went and cursed them, each time. What do you mean by asking such questions?”

“Some time ago, Rakan and Count Monarch went into war, and surprisingly, Luke, the young Lord defeated 4 Gigants. A rune knight who can use magic.”

“Is that true?”

The voice asked with a little shiver in its voice.

“There are a few rumors in the Rakan. Is the curse still intact on the body, then, isn’t this a bit strange?”

“It is definitely strange. I put a dark magic curse on him as soon as he was born…”
