199 Chapter 68 Networking (1/2)

As soon as I heard from Claire, it was Horus, the king of the kingdom of Canaria, who was on my way.

Without lowering your head to the House of the Sword, and without appealing to power, you can only cross the gate of the House of the Sword.

Above is the Adastera Empire. More so, the emperor who ruled the empire.

The House of the Sword is a house entrusted with the task of protecting the Demon Gate from the Emperor and has no right to obstruct those who have the Emperor's permission. If I can get the Emperor's forgiveness, I can shake my hand and go through the gate.

The question is how to meet the Emperor.

It goes without saying that it is impossible to strike the Imperial Palace gate from the front. Nearly ten years ago, I was called to the Emperor at a banquet I attended on behalf of my father, so I'm not at all unfamiliar with him... but I just don't feel like acting with such a thin touch.

The first thought was to name the dragon killer in the empire capital of Adastella and increase his fame with overwhelming power. If you wave fantasy sword technique to kill monsters, you will be able to expose the topic of the Imperial Capital in a conspicuous way. It is also good to participate in such events as games in front of you, martial arts parties, etc.

If my martial name is raised, I will eventually have the opportunity to enter the emperor's ear and see.

However, this method is too time-consuming for lack of certainty. Given the current state of Kremt, and drawing on Kriel's mood, it was necessary to come through the gate as soon as possible.

After thinking about this, I came to the conclusion that - the connection (connection).

Use your network to meet the Emperor. And I had two connections to the emperor.

One of them is the Empress Sakuya, the emperor's natural son. And the other is Pope Noah of the Divinity of Law.

The Empress is close to me and the Pope is close to Emperor Adastella, respectively. With their compliments, it would be possible to keep an eye on the Emperor in a short period of time.

Of course, there is no guarantee that they will respond to my wishes. Before that, I don't know if the two of you who are busy preparing for the wedding will see me.

That's why I arrived in King's Landing, and I didn't hesitate to go to the Dragnaught Mansion. I calculated that no matter how busy the princess and pope were, I could not make a visit request through the Duke of Dragnaught.

I apologize to Lord Dragnaught, but in times of emergency, I will allow him to take advantage of the Duke's power. Of course, this favor will be repaid many times over.

Unfortunately, Lord Dragnaught was absent when I visited the Duke's Mansion. But fortunately, Astrid, the eldest daughter, was in the mansion. And when Astrid told me what had happened, he accepted my request and immediately entered the royal palace.

I couldn't sleep with my feet on the Duke's house, but Astrid was like Lord Dragnaught in the royal palace, and he made it easy for me and the princess to meet. I was only able to lower my head deeply against Astrid, who smiled and told me about it.

”It's been a long time since we last met, Lord Sola.”

Instead, the princess looked at us with interest with a conversation she remembered.

There was no discomfort on her face, but it was clear to the princess, who was a party to a nationwide wedding, that every minute she was talking to me was as precious as gold.

First of all, I apologize for having been given that precious time in the form of using the Duke's house.

”We had a sudden situation, and this is how we pushed it. Thank you very much for your indulgence.”

”I'm not afraid of that. Don't hesitate to rely on me in case of trouble, because I'm the one who told you to.”

That said, the princess made her expression look serious.

”Well, if you look at your face, things seem imminent. Let's get back to you.”

”Well, then, sweeten your words...”

That's how I start talking to the Empress. Since I was talking about Claire, it inevitably revealed the relationship between me and the Dagger family, but the Empress's face was always calm.

Though I had predictions in advance, I'm sure the Empress had a thorough look at my identity. I may not have had time to talk about it in the last face-to-face, but I think the most important reason is that you didn't give me vigilance.

More simply, I may have thought it would be imprudent to step into it in person for the first time, but in any case, if the Empress knew about my relationship with the Dagger family, I could give her an explanation.

Thanks to this, I was able to finish a series of events without taking any time.

After listening to the story, the princess reached out to me and looked at me as if she was thinking about something, but she turned to me with her eyes that reminded me of black crystal. Then I slowly opened my mouth.

”Lord Sola wants to see your father to get forgiveness to go through the gate. That's what you want me to say. Is that okay?

”Your Highness is right.”

”I see. I'll take care of that.”

The princess nodded quickly. That's what Claire asked me to do first.

Unexpectedly looking at me, the Empress smiled at me as she told me to do it.

”You look surprised, Dragon Killer. Was it because you didn't think that I would accept your request without any conditions?
