“You are the Player Seo Jun-Ho, correct?”

“If you’re ready, please come with me”
The attendant from the palace bowed their head politely and escorted him to the coach It was a disciplined movement, which was neither servile nor rude
The coach sht for the imperial palace
‘So, this is the imperial palace’
Seo Jun-Ho looked outside theas they passed through the giant white palace’s front gate The architecture held hundreds of years of history, and Seo Jun-Ho couldn’t help the way his chest tightened in amazement
The coach spent another thirty ates before it stopped
“We have arrived”
Seo Jun-Ho stepped down onto the ground and started walking down a long hallway, led by the attendant
“When you enter the throne room, bow your head and walk forward Your steps must be even, and you should not walk quickly nor slowly”
There were s he had to keep in mind than he had expected
“Do not show any sharp items, even by accident Your head will ihtening warning Seo Jun-Ho nodded, looking a little grio in” The attendant looked to the guards at the front, and they slowly pushed open the large door
“Enter”
A voice ca room At that, Keen Intuition cautioned him
- There is a monster inside
However, Keen Intuition didn’t need to tell him that The moment he stepped into the room, Seo Jun-Ho was overwhelmed with anxiety
‘So into a monster’s lair’
He bowed his head and started to walk forith deter too quickly or slowly Every tier
‘Insanity’
Seo Jun-Ho wasn’t shocked because there were tons of soldiers waiting inside the throne roofro down the hallway, he thought that thereinside But now that he was here, he realized that this powerful aura came from just one person
He chewed on his lip
‘Was the eave off an aura of this level’
Other than that This person was so powerful it was less to even try to make a comparison
Seo Jun-Ho walked all the way up to the stairs and respectfully dropped to one knee
“The Player Seo Jun-Ho has come to answer His Majesty’s call”
“Indeed You are Seo Jun-Ho?”
“I aulped and slowly looked up On the dais, there was a
‘He’s a lot younger than I thought’
The emperor only seemed to be in his mid-40s at most He didn’t seem all too powerful, but his eyes were deep and sharp, as befitting of soreat eht and an olda few steps below the throne
Seo Jun-Ho’s eyes fixed on the knight
‘It’s theht looked expressionless, like a machine, and they only seeraph, Seo Jun-Ho would have thought that they were a faovernht “Enough, Hart”
“My apologies, Your Majesty” The red-headed knight bowed As they did, Seo Jun-Ho felt the pressure disappear instantly It was as if it had never been there at all
‘Sweat? I eating?’
Seo Jun-Ho sed as he realized this belatedly
“Thank you,” he said
“Mm” The emperor replied tersely and skipped the forot to the point “I heard that you rid the nobles of the dey within their bodies Is that true?”
“!” Seo Jun-Ho’s entire body flinched It wasn’t like he had done anything wrong, but there was a simple reason behind his surprise
‘Does that mean The palace knew that the nobles had been forcibly injected with dey?’
Every noble he ht lid In fact, no one knew other than the family members of the afflicted If Seo Jun-Ho hadn’t quickly read Guladin’s memories, he couldn’t have found the afflicted nobles
‘How in the’
It was rare for him to be so dumbfounded
The prime minister finally broke his silence “No one can escape the eyes and ears of the Sun”
“”
He meant the eyes and the ears of the emperor Seo Jun-Ho considered this for a moment before he spoke, “YesYou are indeed correct I cured them”
“Then, let uidly “Are you a fiend?”
“I think I finally understand why you have summoned me here,” Seo Jun-Ho replied calmly Even he kne suspicious it looked
‘A Player appears out of nowhere and picks out the nobles with deoes to cure theht suspect he was secretly a fiend who approached the nobles to gain their trust
“What can I do to prove myself?”
“Prime Minister”
“Yes, Your Majesty” The old man dressed as a scholar sloalked down the dais He reached into his breast and pulled out a parchment the size of a palm He held it out to Seo Jun-Ho
“What is this?”
“This is a page ripped from the Book of Truth, which has been passed down the royal fa that he could check the validity of Seo Jun-Ho’s claims Seo Jun-Ho looked at the parchment in awe
“How do I use it?” he asked
“Infuse it with your ic, and declare that you are not a fiend”
When he did so, the densely-packed text on the parchhtly “I—Player Seo Jun-Ho—am not a fiend Additionally, I am one of the people who abhor fiends the most”
When he finished, the text suddenly stopped groith a flash Confused, Seo Jun-Ho stared blankly at the parchment
“Hm” The emperor seemed indifferent as he spoke, “There is no need to be surprised Your words have proven true”
