I Became the Father of a Degenerate Emperor

Episode 28. The place where God’s eyes stayed.

Episode 28. The place where God’s eyes stayed.

The elves are looking at me with enraged eyes.

Although he got down on one knee and was polite, he could hardly calm down his hatred for me.

It made me even more angry that the saintess’s orchid was being put out in a situation that I didn’t like.

The saint’s orchid.

It had a very sad legend.

In the side story, it was pretty detailed over several pages, and honestly, while reading that part, it was hard for me to control the anger that was creeping up inside me.

In the Bondi Oculus school, a priestess was a being who devoted her whole life only to receiving her oracle.

But the priestess named Muriel was a little different.

The Goddess suddenly ran out of her temple, saying that she had received an oracle from Oculus, and gathered all kinds of poisonous plants and began her research.

When a person who usually quietly prayed suddenly changed, most people were busy shouting that she was crazy.

She even ate poisonous plants herself and repeatedly researched desperately, but she said that she had never been poisoned by poison.

While days become weeks and months become years.

She continued her research on poison without a break.

It is said that she only used poison to treat people with diseases, regardless of the severity of the disease.

She even healed an incurable disease, and because of that, she was called Saint Muriel and became famous throughout the continent.

She had consistently suggested that Oculus send her person to come back to her temple.

It was because of the greed of her contemporary pope who used her to attract more believers to her and strengthen her own power.

But she declared that her god’s gaze no longer rested on the temple, and she roamed the mountains and fields across the continent, gathering her poisonous weeds.

Even so, none of her beasts or monsters harmed her, and it was written that it was because of the smell of hundreds of poisons exuding from her body.

Muriel continued on her own path, and many of her people followed her around.

Her In the end, because of her, the number of followers of her Oculus religion began to plummet, and her papal authority also fell.

Of course the pope was furious.

He thought about how to cut off her Muriel whenever he had a chance, and then he came up with one of her brilliant ideas.

That was, secretly killing the people cured by Muriel. A lot of it too.

By showing her that Muriel’s treatment of her will cause her eventual death, she intends to cast her as her own evil witch.

The pope thought that alone would restore his authority, and he actually put it into practice.

As a result, dozens of patients Muriel treated so far were killed without knowing why.

The temple side used that as an excuse to announce that Muriel was actually a witch, not a saint.

Also, anyone who received her treatment even once spread rumors that she would soon die.

In the end, Muriel lost her life at the hands of the people she treated.

The ‘Saint’s Orchid’ was a flower that bloomed where Muriel’s body was abandoned.

It was a flower made up of only one leaf, and it is said to resemble a woman praying.

At the time, there were only three flowers that bloomed there, but they were moved by elves passing by, and now they have formed quite a lush flower garden in the elven kingdom.

In fact, it was possible for elves to communicate and exchange information with plants, and I wondered if that was the reason the saintess’ orchid was moved.

After a moment of silence, Silene opened her mouth.

“Will you allow me a chance to touch the Secret Palace?”

She seemed respectful just by her content, but her deep hatred was still lurking in that look in her eyes and in her tone of voice.

Anyway, she seemed to want to communicate with Secret Palace and get certain information about me.

The fact that she had to earn her trust, she couldn’t think of a better way than that.

So I willingly offered my secret secret.

Silene carefully received her secret wish with both hands, as if she were treating a child.

Then I closed her eyes tightly.

And the next moment.

Her face suddenly began to frown, as if she was accepting something she couldn’t handle from her secret palace.

It looked different from anger.

Astonishment, amazement, and confusion.

Those things were a jumbled face.

Since Secret Palace could read the thoughts of those she touched, she must have felt a lot from me.

And now, she must have been feeling what Secret Palace felt, too.

After a while, she opened her eyes again and continued her words in a calmer tone.

“Follow me. I will give you the saintess’ orchid right now.”

It felt like a sudden 180 degree change.

For some reason, her eyes are filled with tears.

I couldn’t feel any more hatred in those eyes, and my voice had softened a lot.

What did she see through the Secret Palace?

*

The way to the basement with the emperor.

Sylene was still a bit confused.

Everything was as usual until waking up early in the morning and brewing tea.

She was the one who came up with a simple plan to savor a cup of tea today as she strolled in the stillness of the dawn.

As I was smiling lightly in anticipation of him, suddenly someone wearing a black hoodie came into the store.

His limp even to his legs seemed suspicious.

Even though the sudden uninvited guest was embarrassing, she was not at all agitated.

Sometimes it was because there were some people who visited the store from early morning because of an emergency.

Moreover, she had already practiced a lot of situational dramas to deal with her sudden situation.

So she calmly pretended to be an old woman and asked the reason for her visit.

But her uninvited guest kept chewing on her own words and made her feel so bad that she asked her to leave.

Then suddenly the uninvited guest took off his hood, and I saw bright red eyes on his face.

Red eyes.

Is there anyone among elves who doesn’t know about it?

The venomous species from which Kratus’ blood flows.

Among them, the one who can be called the worst is definitely Kratus I.

A long time ago, he suddenly appeared and threatened to force peace and release the Secret Palace.

The elves resolutely rejected the threat, and struggled against a single human.

Then, in the end, he gave up the secret palace and even made peace.

Even the number of deaths is zero.

Once his target had no time to give his life for his country, he was knocked out by the hilt and was helplessly disarmed.

I could guarantee that there would be no elf anywhere in the world who could forget that shameful history.

And the ridiculous inaction he performed was never forgotten by those who saw it once.

Kratus I was a being with power that humans could never have.

She didn’t get to see her details, but from her eyewitness accounts, it was clear how great he was.

The one who ran faster than the elves through the dense forest and easily dodged the arrows that filled the sky was Kratus I.

In fact, even among the elves, there were not a few people who used auras, so they rained arrows with auras nonstop.

Of course, even so, it was impossible to keep up with Kratus I’s movements.

In addition, he flashed in the east and in the west, suddenly appearing here and there, stunning the commanders and completely neutralizing the power of the elven kingdom itself.

Kratus I was the one who put the aura into the blade and cut away the magic, but in the end did not take a single life of the elves.

And it felt more painful than death to the proud elves.

When the elven king was about to snipe with the secret palace from a distance so far that he couldn’t even see it, he quickly raised his aura and easily blocked the invisible arrow, as if he knew what he was trying to do.

After a day of guerrilla warfare, the moment the tired elves stopped shooting their archery, they suddenly came out from behind the king and thrust a blade into his neck.

Some of the eyewitnesses would still grumble about the events of the day when they got excited while drinking fruit wine.

– He seemed to be looking down on everything.

– You can never win against such a person.

– It was definitely a wise idea to make peace.

– It was not a waste at all.

When the elven king asked why he wanted a secret palace so much, he only replied like this.

– A gift for posterity.

Of course, none of the elves understood that meaning.

“Descendants.”

After speaking to herself, Silene stopped for a moment and looked back at her.

A red-eyed man with a limp.

Kratus IV.

Couldn’t the descendant be referring to this man?

Thinking that maybe that guess was correct, Silene turned around and started walking with her stride.

Then, at some point, she suddenly slowed down her walking speed, as if the emperor was taking care not to fall behind.

Actually, at first she didn’t understand why the secret palace had chosen the mad emperor as her master.

However, at the moment of communing with the secret palace, a lot of information and the will of the secret palace were conveyed at once.

It was as if a rock the size of a house had fallen into a small pond, and violent waves shook her head.

What surprised me the most was that the reason the emperor had been mad all this time was because of the poison.

‘…… Mad poison. I never thought he would have created such a terrible thing with the dragon’s poison.’

It was also clear that the reason why the emperor needed the saintess’ orchid was to make an antidote.

‘They say you can’t understand worldly things just by looking at them from the outside.’

Also, to improve her relationship with the elf, when she learned that he was trying to fix slavery, she couldn’t hate him anymore.

It was because he was so different from what she knew.

In addition, as the secret palace conveyed her strong feelings for the emperor, she also assimilated into it, and her mind wandered for some reason.

*

Plenty of sunlight pouring in through the large windows.

From that heat, my back was quickly warming up.

But I didn’t even have the time to draw the curtains.

It was because I had finally gathered all the ingredients for the antidote.

In a small potted plant on the desk, the saintess’s orchid was planted.

In fact, on this vast continent, except for the elves, few people would know what effect the saintess’ orchid had.

Nevertheless, the price was exorbitantly high, and that was because of its beauty and rarity.

For example, it was in the same vein as the reason why the price of jewels that cannot be eaten is sometimes more expensive than the price of a house.

A single large flower on the saintess’ orchid had a single white petal wrapped around it in a special curve.

Looking at this, anyone would have no choice but to think of a woman praying.

The usage of this flower was simple.

There is an empty space inside the petals, and all you have to do is put the poison of the Salryongsa and the blood of the Asmodian.

Two glass bottles placed next to a planter.

The bright red is the blood of demons. And the black thing was the poison of the dragonfly.

I took off the lids one by one.

The thing to pay attention to from now on was the order.

If you put the snake snake’s poison in first, an antidote could be made, so you had to put the demon’s blood first.

And you have to be careful with the capacity, and when you put the poison of the Salryongsa into it, it shouldn’t overflow.

With extreme care, I started pouring the ingredients into the petals one after another.

After a while, the white petals start to turn black rapidly.

Chwii profit-

From the place where the poison was contained, something like water vapor was coming up.

It wasn’t long before the petals turned completely black.

Looking inside, there was still clear water.

The blackened leaves were full of air bubbles like soda.

There was no reason to hesitate.

Talk-

I carefully plucked the petals and drank the antidote at once, like drinking soju.

But it felt a little strange.

It was like drinking strong liquor.

I felt like my stomach was burning.

And that unpleasant sensation began to fluctuate more and more violently as time passed.

“Ugh!”

Then, intense pain overtook the poisoned area. It was painful as if it were on fire.

The pain was so great that I could barely groan.

I tried to get up quickly, but I ended up falling because of the terrible pain I felt in my left leg.

Cheolpuduk-

The pain that spurred on the intensity.

I felt like I was choking on my breath because of the sense of crisis that I could really die.

Then Estill entered the office and found me struggling on the floor.

“Your Majesty! What are you doing? Your majesty!”

The moment I saw her face, an unknown emotion swirled fiercely deep inside her, and even tears began to burst out of her eyes.

Thumping! Pounding!

My already shortness of breath became more rapid, and my heart, which had already started racing, felt like an explosion was not too far away.

“Your Majesty!”

For an instant, her consciousness flickered, and her voice quickly faded away.
