My Wife the Empress is Becoming Frightening

48. Even animals have precious babies.

Episode 48

Odelia’s confident, provocative smile had already disappeared. It was because from the moment they first clashed their swords, he recognized Marianne as his equal opponent.

‘I thought all human beings except the Mayers were nothing but scum.’

She didn’t deliberately take risks just because she was looking for Isaac.

Of course, the most important reason is that Isaac is unchanging, but as the Queen of the Elves, there is something I must confirm.

‘I also had to meet with Parabellum or something.’

Parabellum was the organization that was used as an intermediary when the heterogeneous tribes secretly spread the ‘grinding toad skin living in the hell swamp’, which was used as poison, to the human nation.

The reason it was spread to human countries was, of course, to screw over humans. The resulting income was only incidental.

For a while, it was called the Miracle of Blue-Green and became famous in its own way, but it was almost useless because Isaac informed about the sunflower.

‘doesn’t care. As I said, humanity will end soon.’

I saw what I needed to see, and I confirmed that there was no way to stop it. The only thing left was to take his partner Isaac back with him, but as expected, it seemed impossible right now.

‘More than this would be impossible.’

I gave Isaac a minimal warning. Knowing wouldn’t change anything, but Odelia couldn’t stay still.

I love him no matter what.

“Ha-!”

With spirited spirits, Odelia threw Marianne away from zero distance. I couldn’t do much damage because it was simply pushed away, but this was enough.

It’s because I pushed it away to increase the distance in the first place.

“… … What do you mean?”

Marianne asked, glaring at Odelia, who had suddenly thrown herself away. It was strange that Odelia’s aura was rapidly sinking to say that it was to cut off the flow of her rising momentum.

“Nothing. I’m going to say it’s a draw today.”

Of course, as Odelia, she wanted to kill Marianne, who was taking the place of Isaac’s wife.

However, there was no way Isaac could just sit still, and since he had two other wives, he judged that there was no need to go to great lengths to kill just one.

“tie? Don’t be funny. Do you think you can run away now?”

“huh.”

A sudden strong gust of wind erupted around Odelia, who answered calmly. Being an elf and a queen, she was loved by the spirits, so she invoked the spirit magic.

Unfortunately, the spirits hate fighting, so unless they are bred by force, they can’t get help in battle, but they lent their strength to things like running away.

“What?!”

“Give up. Because it is impossible even for Isaac to catch me as I run away with determination.”

Or else he would have died long ago, he swallowed. Except when he was still young, he didn’t want to say with his own mouth that the gap had already widened to such an extent that it was impossible to even face each other.

‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have tied it up a little stronger.’

Odelia looked at Isaac one last time before disappearing, thinking that if the next opportunity came, she would have to break the bridge first.

‘The opportunity for me to occupy you will surely come. So please don’t die until then.’

Until that moment came, I thought I’d let other women in my arms. For humans, relieving s*xual desire seemed to be far more important than the thoughts of other races.

‘But if you’re going to be with me, you’d better be prepared.’

She intends to give birth until Isaac dies.

The gust of wind, which had grown stronger as it plowed the garden, dissipated without warning, just as it did when it first appeared.

Odelia, literally, disappeared with the wind.

—

Seeing Odelia gone, I scratched my chin. Even though she seems to act without thinking, in reality she moves by calculating every little action.

The fact that he backed off so easily meant that he only came to give a real warning, but he had no idea what Odelia would do to come and tell her about it.

“what?”

I really don’t know. There was no way he had come to warn about Morior’s incarnation or the aura of death. If it’s because of that, the alien species closest to the epicenter will be wiped out before all mankind is annihilated.

“So you can’t say that you can live with me?”

As I thought of this and that possibility, I immediately brushed it off. The evidence was too weak to make an immediate guess.

I thought it would be a good idea to start by appeasing Marianne, who was standing there blankly, not knowing what to do with her anger that was now gone.

After that, I’ll have to think about a special training menu for imperial knights until I return to the bedroom. No matter how great the opponent is, you are always easily defeated, you bastards.

“huh?”

He told the palace attendants to clean up the traces of the battle and approached Marianne to comfort her, when someone heard the sound of someone running in a hurry.

Hearing the footsteps, we thought it was an ordinary person, but sure enough, it was the Chancellor of the Empire, Kay Price, who hurriedly ran toward us.

“Lungs, Your Majesty!”

“What is going on?”

Kay Price’s appearance was nonsensical. Her disheveled hair and out of breath to the extent that she wondered if her heart was about to burst, she ran hurriedly and fell, and her clothes were also a mess.

My former disciple… … I don’t even remember the name, but I don’t think he was this embarrassed when he found out that he was a Parabellum spy.

“Huh… Heo-eok… Heo-eok… ”

“Someone quickly bring me water.”

At Marianne’s instruction, attendants rushed over and handed Prime Minister Kay Price water. Kay Price, who had barely calmed down after drinking the water, spoke impatiently again.

“It’s the devil!”

“devil?”

Suddenly, everyone tilted their heads wondering who they were referring to as the devil, but Kay Price did not use the word devil as a metaphor.

“The Demon King’s ambassadors from Pandaemonium are coming to ask for an audience with Your Majesty!”

At those words, I was probably not the only one who remembered the words left by Odelia, who had just disappeared.

We hurriedly headed for the audience room.

—

Marianne, who hurriedly changed into clean clothes and tidied up her body, sat down on the throne and spoke.

“Ask them to come in.”

After a while, the head of the imperial palace nodded nervously and went outside. The door to the audience room opened, and neatly dressed men entered.

‘It was true.’

Though unlikely, Marianne, who was also thinking about the case of Kay Price becoming senile, kept a poker face and carefully observed those who approached her.

It was a demon as known, with blue skin, horns on its head, black wings and a long tail that was distinctly different from that of humans.

‘But why?’

As with other alien races, a fact not well known to the human nations outside the Meir kingdom, the demons were also expelled from the continent by being ostracized by mankind.

Most of the different races continued to resist and were pushed to the eastern edge of the continent, but demons are different. From the moment humanity betrayed them, they felt that they could not win and left the continent at all.

A race that goes to an island far from the continent and names it Pandaemonium, refusing any interaction with humans and living by itself. Those were the demons.

‘Although there is a story that it is often found in the western continent.’

It was just a small number of stories whose authenticity was unclear. At least since the continent became what it is today, demons had never directly visited the head of a human nation.

“Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, Empress of the Blata Empire. I am Serpens, the ambassador of Pandaemonium, who came to speak with you on orders from our king, Diablos.”

Marianne gave permission to raise her head to the devil who politely bowed her head, and went straight to the point.

“So you came here on purpose because you wanted to talk to Jim?”

“Before that, I want to ask you one question.”

“Tell me.”

“I didn’t mean to, but while I was waiting, I felt signs of a battle. Didn’t the elf come by?”

At the question of the devil named Serpens, Marianne pondered for a moment and nodded. It’s pointless to lie about what you already know.

“Yes. The queen of the elves boldly invaded alone.”

“Queen Odelia? Besides, an intrusion… … Can you tell me what she said?”

Marianne shook her head. Even if you don’t know the intention of the question, you can’t just reveal the card that you don’t know if you can use it.

More than anything else, Serpens just said that he knew Odelia.

I don’t know how the two races located at the end of the world are interacting, but there is a possibility that the different races will work together and do some trick.

“Tell me the reason for the question and the answer to Jim’s question first.”

“Oh, excuse me. Seeing that the elves deliberately came to this place without having a festival with other races, I was a little bit intrigued. I apologize, Empress.”

Although he was speaking politely, as he did when greeting and introducing himself, Serpens hadn’t answered Marianne’s question yet.

Instead, he looked around and asked Marianne again.

“By the way, is Isaac Mayer, your husband, absent?”

“we are here.”

Seeing Isaac emerge from the shadow of the throne, the demons couldn’t hide their surprise.

Like the imperial knights waiting outside ready to attack at any moment, the hounds hiding in the shadows escorting the empress were aware of his presence, but he really didn’t know about Isaac.

‘I was dubious, but… … I don’t know if this would really be possible.’

To Serpens, who was looking at him with feelings of awe, Isaac sent his doubtful eyes as he said.

“Let me correct one thing: I am now Blatta, not Mayer.”

“Please forgive me with a broad heart… ”

“No, that’s okay, so tell me the main point quickly.”

Well, Serpens, who thought he had gone around talking too much even thinking about it, moved his gaze back to Marianne.

“At this rate, humanity will soon perish.”

Same word as Odelia. As Marianne kept silent, suggesting that she continue, Serpens continued her story.

“The wall of emptiness is almost completely destroyed by Morior, the Goddess of Creation. It’s different from the time when I accidentally brought the energy of death along with it. The seal of Runtas has already been broken, and Acevero, the titan of original sin, is exhausted and can no longer stop them. If the void is liberated, humanity will not last even a moment and will be annihilated.”

It was surprising that characters from mythology were mentioned in the story of Serpens, who was speaking seriously, but there were two things that bothered me more than that.

One was that the names of the beings of the creation were different from those known, and the other was.

“We’ll hear the grounds that humanity won’t be able to hold out later, and if the void is released under the premise that what you’re saying is true, won’t not only humanity but the other races perish as well?”

“… … … this.”

Serpens wasn’t the only one who made an embarrassing face. Other demons were showing similar reactions, and their reactions could be described as ‘I didn’t know it was this far’.

“No, it’s not your fault. Because your ancestors tried to hide their shame. I didn’t even know it was a bigger shame.”

“What are you talking about?”

Serpens, now almost a pity-seeing eye, decided to explain to them. To the races who are in a hurry to hide and distort what is unfavorable to them.

“Acevero is a human god, but Morior is our god, the god of all other races. Parents cannot harm their children.”

There is a saying that even animals value their offspring. It is the same with humans.

How much more is God?
