My Wife the Empress is Becoming Frightening

36. Don’t tempt me

Episode 36

The black knight, who had fled to the outside of the system at once while holding himself, released Angelica in the form of throwing halfway.

Thanks to this, Angelica rolled on the ground, but as if not caring about her condition, she screamed and approached the suffering black knight.

“Calm down! If you keep doing this, you’ll really become a witch!”

Angelica didn’t know that the black knight’s true identity was Low Rekensus. Besides, he hadn’t imagined that Parabellum was brainwashing and controlling him.

But to Angelica, his identity was not important. The important thing is that he is him.

Because of this, she desperately clung to him to bring him back to his senses, but it was not she who stopped the black knight.

“Back off, Angelica Pax. Let us take it from now on.”

“You… !”

Those in black robes forcibly removed her and used magic on the black knight. They were the magicians of Parabellum who followed the Black Knight to keep an eye on him whenever he was put into action.

As the curse-like magic enveloped him, the action of the black knight stopped at once. It is not that the action has stopped, but the feeling that life activity has stopped after death.

Even Angelica, ignorant of magic, could see that it was far from genuine.

“… … What are you going to do with him?”

“The outrage started faster than expected. You will have to readjust for a while, even if it takes some time.”

readjustment. Angelica, now guessing what it meant, said nothing. There was nothing he could do while watching the black knight being transported in a box like a coffin.

she was so helpless

“I heard you were tracked down to Shika and Parabellum?”

“yes.”

A few days after the death struggle near the institutional prison. As soon as Samuel recovered, I admonished my brother.

The reason, of course, is about abandoning the duties of the royal family and running away. Instead, he properly took into account the fact that he came to see me personally and that he supported Garel and the Imperial Knights against the Black Knight.

If Samuel hadn’t intervened, not only Angelica Pax, but all the members of the Moonlight Troupe would have missed it, and if so, they wouldn’t have even known that the name of the Three Kingdoms Alliance was Parabellum.

Samuel, who had been moderately beaten by me, was being treated by Dorothy.

While receiving treatment, he was telling me about his experiences outside the kingdom, and he informed me that Sika and Parabellum had been tracking him.

“I can’t help Parabellum right now, but I’ll see Sika’s face sometime soon.”

After hearing it roughly, it is said that there was no intention to harm Samuel, but I don’t like the tracking down, so I think we’ll have to set up a meeting point later.

If you ask Haria, will you find out?

“But it’s not what I’m going to say, but wasn’t it good that I ran away as a result?”

“If you look at the results alone, that’s not the case.”

If Samuel had come, he would have died, and I don’t know what I would have done to the Empire if he had. Marianne also greeted Samuel, and both said it was a relief.

“I could tell right away that my sister-in-law had a special thought for her eldest brother. I’m really glad. I thought only I was happy… … evil?!”

“If you’re happy, give birth to lots of kids.”

“Oh my, Isaac… !”

As I put a chestnut on Samuel’s forehead, who had been teasing and teasing me, Dorothy twisted her body in shame.

Not only Hound’s men, but also the Imperial Knights, even Marianne, asked Mayer, but Mayer didn’t particularly care who the royals met.

It’s because I encourage you to get married quickly and have many children. The second child whom I passed over as crown prince already had two children.

If you look at this part alone, I am unusual because I was not married until this age. Looking back, that’s how I ended up with Marianne.

Also, you don’t know what the world is doing.

“Ouch… . For that reason, I want to go back to the kingdom together when my older brother returns home.”

“I guess that would be fine. Guys like Sika and Parabellum will keep sticking to you if you stay outside the kingdom.”

Then, is the only thing left to do is return home in preparation for the day of disaster?

The Moonlight Troupe guys are being interrogated by the Imperial Intelligence Agency, and the Black Knight, or Low Rekensus, won’t be seen for a while.

Even if he escaped safely, it was unknown whether he would not turn into a demon, but above all, it did not seem like Parabellum would let go of a hero-level strongman who could be manipulated at will.

Either way, it will take time for it to reappear, so don’t worry for the time being.

“Abrarum said it would take care of it if you pay the taxes and the distribution of medicines on time, so there really is nothing left to do but prepare for your homecoming.”

Preparation is the hardest part, though.

—

As soon as it was night again, Marianne went into her bedroom, hugged Isaac, and clasped herself in his arms.

“Can I really not go?”

“I don’t faint now.”

“Don’t talk back.”

To Marianne, who looked up at him with a worried face, Isaac answered firmly.

“no.”

Isaac was usually willing to do whatever Marianne asked for, but on this occasion, he went beyond stubbornness and showed an iron-clad attitude.

Nevertheless, Marianne, who did not want to let Isaac go anyway, mobilized all means from the day she heard in detail about the day of disaster.

I pretended to be upset or cried, and I tried to use each room in the end, but I stopped thinking that I couldn’t stand it.

Now, after today, there are only two days left until Isaac returns to Meyer Kingdom.

Marianne, whose nervousness reached its peak, ordered a restraint tool that could never be released from the Magic Society, but the answer that came back was that it would not be possible to restrain Isaac with anything.

“If the Day of Disaster is such a dangerous thing in the first place, why don’t other human nations know about it? Even I, the emperor of the empire, learned more about it because Isaac told me about it.”

Sensing that Marianne’s anger had been redirected to the day of disaster itself at the fact that nothing could be stopped, Isaac responded by kissing his lovely wife on the top of his head.

“It is said that long ago, the ancestors of the Mayer Kingdom warned the human nations not because they wanted help, but because they wanted to know.”

This was the reason the rulers of other countries knew about the day of disaster, even roughly.

“however?”

“I heard he didn’t eat it. After all, no matter how hard people try to tell them that danger is approaching, they can’t realize it unless it’s right in front of them.”

After that, the Mayer Kingdom gave up trying to warn them of the danger. At least, the neighboring countries of Mayer help a little because they know that if Mayer falls, it is they who have to fight the different races.

“Even they don’t care much about Doomsday. I should say that I am not interested, but it seems that I vaguely feel it.”

Anyway, Isaac was the only one who could fight on the day of disaster. Unless another hero-level strongman is with you, you’d have to say that there’s nothing useful in the fight itself.

“Did you say it was the energy of death? The one that spreads on the day of calamity.”

“huh. Because of that, there is no war when the day of calamity comes. Like this one, the other races can’t move either.”

It’s ironic, Isaac added. Even the different races that caused the disaster couldn’t move, so only that period was the most peaceful.

Marianne, on the other hand, was thinking of something else. After thinking about something for a moment, she looked at Isaac as if she had just remembered it and said.

“If it’s an energy that contains death, wouldn’t necromancer magic be helpful?”

“oh? I didn’t have such an idea, but maybe it’s possible?”

Isaac sincerely admired his wife’s idea, but he couldn’t help but be embarrassed by the words that followed.

“Then take Selemine! He knows how to use necromantic magic!”

“No, did your sister try to seduce me out of an inferiority complex towards you?”

Isaac had already told Marianne about Selemine.

It was because it was judged that hiding it for nothing and then exploding later would cause a bigger conflict than getting worse right away.

So, Marianne had been tolerating Selemine’s confinement to the Magic Society for a while, but now the fear of losing Isaac overcame her anger.

“You won’t be tempted!”

“of course!”

“All right! Take him!”

“no!”

It wasn’t that he didn’t intend to live without seeing Selemin. She was a sister-in-law, but also a subordinate.

It was just that Isaac, who had to be away from Marianne, who was anxious even if it wasn’t, didn’t want to add unnecessary anxiety to his wife.

However, Marianne, who was in a state where she would do anything to prevent Isaac from dying, despite her husband’s objection, called Selemine, who had been locked away in the Magic Society herself the next day.

—

“So what did your sister say?”

“Don’t seduce your brother-in-law.”

I let out a sigh when Selemin said that this was the first time he had shown such a bloody tone and expression toward himself.

In the end, he couldn’t break Marianne’s stubbornness, so he is currently on his way to Mayer’s kingdom by riding a wagon with Selemin.

“Wow, big brother. Empires are different. This is the first time I have ever ridden such a large and colorful carriage.”

“Look at this, Samuel! We have sweets and drinks!”

Unaware of my speed, Samuel and Dorothy couldn’t stop admiring the royal carriage that Marianne had personally selected.

Originally, this was only used by the emperor when traveling, but Marianne forcibly designated it, saying that it should be convenient even on the way to and from.

“It sure is comfortable. The cushions are soft, spacious and comfortable.”

It seemed like this would be enough for me to rest and relax on the way to Mayer. When I return later, I will have to thank Marianne.

“Here, brother-in-law.”

“Call me the captain… … ”

“It’s not even a system, so what’s the matter?”

That’s it. Let’s say I understand, Selemin continued.

“I’m interested in something called the energy of death. I heard about it from you, but why did that happen in the first place?”

“In the aftermath of something wrong with angry alien races trying to destroy humanity.”

This is a fact known to all Mayers who have read the records of their ancestors, but Selemin, who is not a Mayer, seemed interested in asking the question again.

“Why did these races try to destroy humanity? What are you angry about?”

I also learned about it when I went to Empire, but the reason other human nations are ignorant of this race is that their ancestors erased all records of this race.

Did you have a conscience to feel ashamed? Well, if I had a conscience, I wouldn’t have erased the record.

With that in mind, I answered Selemin’s question.

“I was betrayed by humanity. So I can’t help but be angry.”

To be precise, for most of humanity except for the Meyer people who became like sparks after being still.
