“Hello, Miho-sama.”

“Yeah, it’s been a while.”

Consannu smiled and greeted Miho, and Miho naturally accepted the greeting.

“Do you two know each other?”

“Yeah, I’ve only seen it once. I heard about it from Moan in advance, but I really wanted it.”

Concenu smiled at Miho, but his smile showed a slight faintness.

Then Hoya spoke to Consannu.

“But what do you want to ask?”

“Ah, that’s it… I was curious about how Kwon Nara is now, so I was going to ask about it.”

‘How is Kwon Nara now…’

To be honest, it’s not a very good situation.

It will get better in the future, but not now.

While Hoya was pondering how to respond, Dantals interrupted their conversation.

“By the way, I heard that Consannu was the prince of that country. Do you miss the old days?”

“Yes? No, that’s… So…”

“If that’s the case, then go and visit it. If you pile it up for nothing, you’ll get steamed inside.”

“……”

Concenu did not respond to Dantals’ words.

Seeing this, Hoya told Consonu about the current situation of Kwon Nara without hesitation.

It was to help him in his choice, as he read the hesitation in his heart because of Dantals’ question.

When the emperor’s sleeping quarters collapsed into the basement, and what had happened to some extent was sorted out, some of the court officials carefully gathered in one room.

The current court officials are divided into three major groups.

The first is the pro-emperor faction who stands on the side of Emperor Kwon Il-woo, does not hesitate to flatter him, and eats congo water falling from him.

The second is the pro-People who recognize that Emperor Kwon Il-woo’s actions are wrong, but cannot express their will outwardly for fear of retaliation.

The third is neutrality that does not belong to any part of the narrow tightrope between the pro-emperor faction and the pro-people faction, hoping that there will be no harm instead of no benefit.

Their ratio is 5 for the pro-emperor faction, 2 for the pro-paik faction, and 3 for the neutral faction.Those who carefully gathered were figures of the pro-emperor faction.

“His Majesty, Kwon Il-woo, has made a comeback. I would like to hear your opinions on the future.”

The reason they gathered was to plan for the future because his death was confirmed due to the testimony of the rescued court ladies and the actions of Kwon Il-woo.

Since Kwon Il-woo’s death and the greatest power of the pro-emperor faction had disappeared, it’s unclear when the pro-paek faction will spread its wings and rise.

And the situation was not what they wanted.

I needed to increase my strength again at any moment, and I had to decide how to do it.

However, it was not easy to keep their mouths open as everyone was watching.

“Isn’t it a good thing that the emperor died?”

Then, official Nam Ik-hyun opened his mouth.

Hearing his unfailing remarks, those present showed agitation on the outside.

“Doesn’t everyone think the same as me? Don’t keep your mouth shut while looking at each other like this.”

“Hey, I think it would be better to be a little more careful with your mouth.”

“Isn’t what I said wrong? Little by little the Emperor was getting out of our hands. It’s good that the dolls that don’t listen are gone.”

Nam Ik-hyun cut off his words and rolled his eyes only to look around the crowd.

Everyone was reluctant to speak, but he didn’t seem to disagree.

Seeing this, he raised the corners of his lips slightly.

“And in its place, we’ll have to put a new puppet that listens to it. Don’t we have the only lineage of the royal family left?”

“Ugh …, yes, but that Mi-hyeon is a person who doesn’t know where he’s going unless it’s the Emperor’s words.”

“So that’s good. Everyone knows that? Even if it’s not the emperor’s own words, Mi-hyeon believes and follows the emperor’s words when others say it. Anyway, he doesn’t know that the emperor is dead, and we won’t know in the future, so it will be a good doll for us. .”

If Nam Ik-hyeon is right, then there is no one more worthy of the throne than him.

With that in mind, the pro-emperor faction set the current goal of raising Kwon Hyeon-woo to the position of emperor.

“There is a possibility that Kim Cheong-do’s gang will object, but the number is higher anyway. So, it is a fact that Mi-hyeon will rise to the emperor’s position. So now is the time to create a story to announce the emperor’s death. Emperor I can’t tell you that I was a vampire.”

That night, the pillar of light that came down through the clouds to the earth entered the eyes of the people.

And because of that, various speculations were circulating among the people now.

The court officials found out through the court ladies that it was the power of the one who killed the emperor, but they cannot make it public.

Perhaps using one of the speculations circulating in a plausible wrap-up will give you an edge over the pillars of light.

“Hey, how about something like this?”

Then one person cautiously expressed an opinion.

A few days later, Kwon Hyeon-woo, who would have been in Hwahoe Village for two months, was rushed to Tanyang.

And as soon as Kwon Hyeon-woo entered the palace, a poster was posted and Kwon Il-woo’s death became known to the people.

On the poster, it was written that Kwon Il-woo died of a chronic disease on the day the pillar of light fell from the sky, and that the pillar of light was the path that heaven took to guide him.

And a fact as important as Kwon Il-woo’s death was written beneath it.

“What…? Do you want Daejun Kwon Hyeon-woo to be crowned emperor?”

“It is only the ministers of the court who are not crazy about this decision…”

“Most of those children were factions of Emperor Kwon Il-woo. It is clear that they want to use puppets to satisfy their greed!”

“Ah, isn’t life getting harder than it is now?”

The content was that Kwon Hyeon-woo’s coronation ceremony was to be held to fill the empty emperor’s seat.

To raise Kwon Hyun-woo, who is inferior to a child, to the throne of the emperor.

It was a reality I didn’t want to accept, a reality I wanted to change, but it was a reality I couldn’t change.

The people’s dissatisfaction began to grow little by little, but two days after the poster was posted, Kwon Hyeon-woo’s coronation ceremony was held as scheduled.

On the surface, Kwon Il-woo had died due to an illness, so the coronation ceremony was held briefly and solemnly in the form of a son-in-law (嗣位).

Kwon Hyun-woo wore a mourning robe and painted a bashful smile on his face throughout the coronation ceremony, not fitting that atmosphere.

Seeing his smile, some felt sorry for him, while others secretly laughed at him.

“Sir, please come this way.”

Kwon Hyeon-woo was led into the center of the palace, Seongjeongjeon.

Now, after receiving the royal seal and performing the ceremony, the important ceremony of the coronation ceremony ends with Kwon Hyeon-woo sitting on the throne holding the royal seal.

After that, there was a time for the emperor to give his coronation speech, but they thought it was not necessary for Kwon Hyeon-woo.

“Come on, sir, put out your right hand.”

When Jongmyeong, the eunuch who served Kwon Il-woo, raised a sharp needle and said, Kwon Hyeon-woo erased his bashful smile and shook his head violently with a slightly frightened expression.

“It’s okay, sir. It just stings a little. It’s what His Majesty the Emperor wants, but do you still hate it?”

When Jong-myung’s mouth came out to say that he was the emperor, Kwon Hyeon-woo rolled his eyes with a frown and thought for a moment, then closed his eyes tightly and held out his right hand to him.

“Good job.”

After Jongmyeong apologized for injuring his body, which would be a prison sentence, as is customary with Ye, he lightly stabbed Kwon Hyun-woo’s index finger with a needle.

This was originally something he had to do himself as he ascended to the throne, but Kwon Hyeon-woo was not in such a state, so he did it instead.

When a small red drop of blood came out of Kwon Hyeon-woo’s index finger, Jong-myung grabbed his wrist and tilted his hand so that the drop of blood could fall over the seal.

As a drop of blood fell on Kwon Hyeon-woo’s finger while falling on the scepter, the golden dragon’s eyes engraved on the scepter threw away the gold and glowed red.

It was a sign that Kwon Hyeon-woo took over the position of the owner of the scepter, which was vacated after Kwon Il-woo’s death.

The royal seal made by the first emperor of the Kwon Dynasty and passed down is a symbol of the authority of the Kwon Dynasty and the emperor.

“Sir, you can take this and sit on that chair.”

Kwon Hyun-woo, who was sucking the index finger of his right hand at Jong-myeong’s words, nodded his head, took the scepter from him, and climbed the low stairs to the throne.

The moment Kwon Hyeon-woo sits on the throne, he becomes His Majesty the Emperor, no longer a great army.The pro-emperor faction had no doubts that it was the birth of a new emperor for them, a puppet who would not have the same worries as before.

But they soon realized that they had been mistaken.

They should have noticed at a time when pro-white Kim Cheong-do did not show much objection to Kwon Hyeon-woo as emperor.

dump.

Jong-myung, who confirmed that Kwon Hyeon-woo was seated on the throne, tried to open his mouth to announce the end of the coronation ceremony.

“I’ll tell you something.”

But then, before he could open his mouth, a voice interrupted him.

Among those who looked for the owner of the voice that resonated in the quiet Seongjeongjeon, and looked in the direction where the voice came from, all except Kim Cheong-do and some of the pro-paek people had no choice but to open their eyes in amazement.

Because they have a completely unimaginable appearance.

Where the voice came from, there was Kwon Hyun-woo, who was shining the eyes of a leader like a tiger, not his usual bashful smile.

“Uh, what…”

“The emperor’s words are the law, and they are the same as the words of heaven.”

Ignoring the reactions of those who could not hide their surprise, Hyeon-Woo Kwon began to use perfect sentences in front of them.

“To deny this is to deny the sky. To deny the kingdom of Kwon itself. Therefore, the words of the emperor, which are no different from the words of heaven, have absolute authority and compulsion.”

“Hey, what the hell…”

When Nam Ik-hyun, who was more surprised than anyone else at Kwon Hyun-woo’s actions, shed his voice, Kwon Hyun-woo’s gaze turned to him.

Receiving Kwon Hyun-woo’s gaze, he unknowingly flinched his body.

“What is it? It’s the first verse of the national law that you love so much.”

Nam Ik-hyun, who came to his senses a bit late, rolled his eyes and looked around.

Everyone’s expression was not that different from his own.

But in the meantime, there was a person who didn’t show as much surprise as a fingernail, but rather had a light arc on his lips.

Kim Cheong-do, the leader of the pro-white faction.

His face seemed to tell him that he knew this beforehand.

‘Cheong-do Kim, you bastard…!’

Nam Ik-hyeon looked at Kim Cheong-do, and Kim Cheong-do, who felt the gaze, looked at him.

Then, without making a sound, he just opened his mouth and spoke to Nam Ik-hyun.

By squeezing out the people so far, you will not only spit out all the self-interests that you guys have filled, but you will also pay the price.

“I have someone to introduce to you first as the Emperor.”

Then, as Kwon Hyun-woo said that, a figure suddenly appeared right in front of the stairs to the throne.

He was a man wearing a form of attire he had never seen before.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Evan, the messenger of Ruzeros.”
