202 Chapter 71 Amadeus II (2/2)

”I've never seen it in the Imperial Palace. I've never seen it in my recent routine. But your face is touching some other memory. Name it, young man.”

The Emperor's gaze is on my face.

As a result, a heavy pressure like lead was applied to both shoulders.

It's not a war. It's not like hostility. It has nothing to do with magic.

The character of a person who has been at the top of a country for a long time before I was born. The weight of a human being came to my whole body.

What do you mean by negative? I was certainly overwhelmed by the Emperor at this time.

--Overwhelmingly, I was impressed. I see, there's this kind of strength.

I've never even had this feeling about my father. With that in mind, I answered the emperor's question.

”My name is Sky, Your Majesty. I'm not allowed to name my family now, but I used to call it the Mitsurugi Empty.”

I tried to keep seeing you at the banquet, but if you name your sword, you'll understand. That's how he stopped talking and waited for the Emperor.

An abandoned swordsman's brother-in-law came to the Imperial Palace as the Empress's messenger. The emperor must be smiling ”what the hell is going on” with a sharp expression on his face. I thought so.

But beyond my gaze, the emperor looked calm. It's as if you predicted words coming out of my mouth.

When I was unable to measure the meaning of the other person's reaction, I heard a surprise voice from another direction. It is the voice of the prince.

”Eh... the sword? Eh, but, eh, why is onee-sama... eh!?

”Purple Garden. A royal man does not reveal such a surprise. Keep any emotions deep inside your chest carefully and keep them deposited at all times. That's what the royal family is supposed to be.”

”Ha, yes, Father! Sorry!

Um, refine.

The emperor, who nodded to the prince, called out to Baron Zid, who was beside him.

”Well, Baron. There will be a letter from Sakuya. Let it out.”

”Yes, Your Majesty! This way!”

The emperor, who received the letter from the baron, broke the seal and began to read it.

Apparently the pleadings were quite long, and it took the Emperor quite some time to finish reading them.

Eventually, the emperor, who looked up at me from the writ, said gravely.

”Do you want to get forgiveness to come through the gate from the rest of the world? Sky, do you know what's sealed up ahead of that gate?

The question confused me. Because the answer was too clear. Though the original, it is not a question for the Dagger family.

I hesitated to answer for a moment, but I didn't think it would be an occasion for Tonchi to work, so I answered frankly.

”I know that the Oni Gods are sealed.”

The emperor, who heard our reply, narrowed his eyes and pretended to think something.

And the emperor turned his heel toward the door of the room.

While the indoor man was confused by the sudden behavior, the Emperor said with his face only to me.

--- Follow me, empty.
