Rebirth Just Before The 10th Circle

“Ah···.”

Left alone, Rebecca had a sad expression on her face.

Soon the sobs of a mother who had lost her child reverberated in her bath.

***

Merlin arrived in the Schmatt Empire through teleportation.

He was looking down on the Imperial Castle of the Schmatt Empire from high above.

The new model of Merlin, who had been looking at the Imperial Castle like that for a long time, disappeared once again.

The place where he appeared again was none other than the garden of the imperial castle, but soon his image was assimilated with the surrounding area.

It was Merlin’s own magic called “The Black Cat that Walks the Night”, the 8th circle’s stealth magic.

‘Shall we look around?’

Merlin, who had completely erased the invisibility magic as well as the presence, began to cross the Imperial Castle of the Schmatt Empire.

What he aims for is the atmosphere of the imperial family and what is happening here.

He was there to confirm the uneasiness he felt.

“So what happened?”

“that···.”

Two maids passed by Merlin’s side, but they didn’t notice Merlin at all.

Merlin has been churning around the Imperial Palace of the Schmatt Empire for such a long time.

A chaotic voice echoed through Merlin’s ears as he passed by a door.

“How long… two… Oh!”

“Now… how!”

Merlin used magic to improve his hearing in a castle where he couldn’t hear clearly.

Soon, a voice came from inside the door clearly.

“Ladan is dead! But how long do we have to wait and see!”

“Isn’t that a simple matter!”

“It’s not that simple! What problem has a clearer, simpler answer than this!”

“The evidence is not clear!”

“Are you saying that you won’t believe what Ladan’s escort told you?”

“It’s not like that, is it? Although Radan’s death is wrathful, if you move the soldiers hastily, countless people may die!”

“Uh-huh! It’s really frustrating. The next heir to the throne of a country has died. But if he doesn’t even take revenge, the world will point his finger at Schumat’s incompetence.”

“Ah, so there’s no reason, isn’t it! Even war must have a cause!”

“What cause is greater than the death of Lathan?”

“How many times have I not already told you that there is no evidence?”

The sound inside was harsh.

And not just one or two people were raising their voices.

The two sides are arguing for each other with divided opinions.

‘Those who insist on war and those who try to prevent war.’

It was understandable enough.

Since the Crown Prince of Han is dead, he should take revenge, but there was no solid evidence to start a war.

It is true that the Schmatt Empire was stronger than the Kwan Empire, but that did not mean that the Kwan Empire was weak.

If you start a war prematurely, if you make a mistake, the Schmatt Empire might suffer a lot of damage.

Therefore, the confrontation between the radicals, who insisted on revenge of Radan, and the moderates, who insisted on being cautious and cautious about war intensified.

‘First of all, it seems that more people want war.’

Merlin, who had been listening to what was going on in the conference hall for a long time, saw sadness in Merlin’s eyes.

‘Are you really dead? knife?’

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be having such a rough discussion.

And that was the moment.

“Everyone is quiet.”

The inside of the door became quiet at the gentle but mana-filled voice.

Merlin instinctively noticed.

The owner of this voice is the owner of the Schmatt Empire.

In the midst of silence, the emperor opened his mouth.

“I have heard your stories. I’ll take care of the rest, everyone, go back.”

The actual final decision maker and commander-in-chief of the military.

In the Schmatt Empire, where the emperor’s power was more powerful than any other country, no matter how much the nobles raised their voices, they were bound to obey the emperor’s decision.

The opinion of the nobility was merely a concept as a little supplementary material for the emperor to make a decision.

As soon as the meeting was concluded with the emperor’s order to close, nobles poured out of the meeting hall.

Merlin watched the scene, then moved again.

It was to examine the situation of the Emperor Schmatt a little more.

‘It’s really filthy wide.’

Merlin was stunned by the sheer size of the Imperial Palace of Schmatt.

How long have you been walking like that?

“Black…”

A cry that captured Merlin’s consciousness.

He cried so sadly that Merlin’s steps came to a halt.

‘Huh?’

As Merlin was standing in front of the door where the sound of crying was heard, the door opened after a while, and the crying protagonist appeared.

It was none other than Empress Rebecca who came out.

Her Merlin’s eyes widened as she saw her.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

‘What?!’

Merlin’s gaze didn’t move away from Rebecca’s face.

His surprise was simple.

‘Morgan?!’

Because her woman’s appearance obviously resembled the Morgan he knew.

Her purple hair and crimson eyes.

up to the features.

Wouldn’t she be exactly like that if the ageless monster Morgan got older?

But while her looks were definitely similar, Merlin felt she wasn’t Morgan.

‘Polymorph? No… it’s too different for something like that.’

I wonder if Merlin doesn’t recognize Polymorph in the first place.

So what should I do with this?

Her natural color and beauty resembled the real Morgan remarkably, but somehow she was exuding a completely different energy from Morgan.

‘Is it really just… a resemblance?’

If so, I wondered if she was a doppelganger from the demon realm.

Meanwhile, Rebecca came out and moved her steps.

Merlin followed her cautiously.

‘You’ll find out if you watch a little more.’

If that woman had anything to do with Morgan…

‘Maybe you’ve rescued a large fish from an unexpected place.’

The corners of Merlin’s lips twisted gently upwards as they said those words.

***

A rumor circulated around the grievous Shumat Imperial Castle.

Rumors say that after Radan Karl returned as a corpse, the Empress Rebecca was in full control of her food and beverages.

And it was true.

In fact, Rebecca spent days and days in front of her son’s body, lost in thought.

The faces of those who watched this were full of regret.

‘Hey, the loss of her son, the sorrow must be overwhelming.’

‘My poor Empress.’

Voices that understood Rebecca’s pain continued throughout the Imperial Palace.

On the other hand, there was someone who expressed her doubts in such a situation.

‘What … was she really just someone who looked alike?’

After watching Empress Rebecca for the past few days, Merlin couldn’t help but wonder.

She was astonished that her woman, who looked like Morgan, was her empress and mother of Karl, and she was also surprised once more by her true sorrow she displayed.

Therefore, his troubles were prolonged.

‘Is that sadness really acting?’

Rebecca shows the pain of losing his son.

She even passed out at Carl’s funeral.

It may also be smoke, but Merlin was convinced it wasn’t smoke.

‘I didn’t know at first, but now I know. The reason why she felt different from Morgan even though she looked alike.’

Morgan and Rebecca were clearly alike.

Natural color and beautiful appearance.

But it was the nature of the two that Merlin felt different when she first saw Rebecca.

Morgan, a villain who has a lust to attract men and actively uses it to lead many to catastrophe.

Contrary to her natural color, Rebecca has a caring and gentle personality.

Their difference lies in their acquired personalities.

‘Maybe that woman is just a mixture of demon and human, just like Morgan…’

It was definitely a possibility.

Merlin was standing from a distance and watching Rebecca’s ailment.

‘Let’s go.’

He considered Rebecca and Morgan unrelated and turned away from her.

***

That evening.

The emperor went to the bed of the sick queen.

He was the most resolute Shura among the successive emperors of the Schmatt Empire, but he, too, was only a weak man to the woman he loved.

He couldn’t ignore the ailing woman who lost her son, although he had reacted coldly the last time.

The emperor found a sleeping room where only a few candles were dimly lit.

He called the name of his wife, who was lying on his back when he arrived.

“Rebecca.”

Although she called herself, Rebecca still did not move.

Shrek-

The Emperor sat down on Rebecca’s bed and looked at her back.

“Do you hate me for not doing anything?”

“·················ogue.”

“Understand. Jim is the leader of this Schmart. Thousands of lives can be fleetingly lost with a single word of such a burden…”

As he spoke, the emperor’s gaze did not fall from Rebecca’s back.

Rebecca was speechless for a long time.

Her voice came from her, who finally turned her back on her.

“I know. Shura… you’re just being cautious.”

“Thank you for understanding.”

“But… but… you are the child’s father. Before you become emperor!”

Instantly, Rebecca jumped up and looked at the Emperor.

The emperor couldn’t help but smile bitterly at those eyes that seemed to resent himself.

“That’s right. But I do not want my people to suffer because of his dead children.”

“You . . . may be the greatest emperor, but the worst of his father.”

“Maybe.”

The emperor’s bitter smile vanished, revealing his numb face.

But Rebecca knew.

That numb face of this man is the face he sees when he deliberately kills his emotions.

“really really···.”

Rebecca is speechless.

Apparently, Rebecca’s broken heart did not seem to be easily resolved, so the Emperor decided to step down for today.

“Relax.”

Just as I was waking up, I heard Rebecca’s call.

“Shura.”

The king stopped.

“Look at me.”

The emperor’s gaze turned to Rebecca’s face at the calm voice.

But surprisingly, the light had disappeared from the eyes of the emperor, who had been firing the gun.

And···.

“Is that really all you can do? It’s not. Can you do it?”

The feeling of Rebecca’s voice toward the emperor was completely different from before.

The emperor responded as if possessed by Rebecca’s question, which was mixed with a more sticky and excited moan.

“What… do you want?”

This put a smile on Rebecca’s lips.

He was with him, and a pale purple glow flashed from both of her eyes.

Soon, Rebecca’s lips twitched.

“revenge.”

“·················ogue.”

“Carl, I want revenge on that child.”

“·················ogue.”

“Color the land of Kwan with a thousand, ten thousand, and more blood of my child shed.”
