I've Become the Villainous Emperor of a Novel

Book 1 Chapter - 2 Chapter 2. End of escort.



'I laughed so hard that I felt sick.'

I felt more heartburn because I saw that face for a long time in the first place.

Julia sighed deeply and headed for her office. The maids and servants who followed her continued to look at her. They seem to have noticed that Julia was offended by the Duke of Fez.

As soon as Julia arrived at the office, she ordered Plena straight away.

"Fleena, take the ladies-in-law and bring back all the documents where Duke Pez was looking."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Of course, with a reasonable excuse."

"Of course."

She was moved to tears by Julia's shrewd behavior after a long time. Julia smiled softly at it.

'Cause it's already been two years since Julia went crazy.’

It was around the end of the conquest war. After that, everyone had hope that it would be temporary, but she would never have returned.

'I feel bad for you……'

I felt sorry. Both the fact that Julia, who they wanted, was not themselves and that she took over her body.

That's why I need to cheer up.’

She couldn't avoid when she had expectations or responsibilities. Sometimes it was frustrating, but I didn't hate it. Rather, it is now the driving force to cheer up.

Julia sat at her desk in the office. Duke Fez had routinely reported and posted documents. Originally, Julia was simply skimmed through and thrown away, but kept well kept. It was all thanks to the neat arrangement of maid-in-law and servants for Julia.

Julia called Felix, asking the rest of the maid-in-law to get out the documents related to the execution. The Duke of Fez suddenly came in and had to proceed with what he could not handle.

"Felix."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He came straight up like a puppy called his master. I didn't know how cute a 17-year-old boy could be.

The boy with scarlet cilantro hair and black eyes always had a clear light when he saw Julia. I always acted as if I was harmless in front of her, whether I would be abandoned by her or hated by her.

Of course, it was a story in front of Yulia to the extreme.

'That way you'll never hear a hemp wizard.’

Felix was faithful and gentle to Julia, but not to anyone else. It was kind of nice to the maids and servants I worked with, but other than that, it was relentless.

He demonstrated to others the skill of being abused and holding firm in the village. Because his nickname wasn't "Yulia's Crazy Sheep".

For example, there was a terrible nightmare for a noble who had said a word wrong to Julia. The aristocrat begged her that she had done wrong, banging her forehead on the floor, after less than a week at the terrible nightmare. Of course, Felix smiled with an angelic face at the time, saying, "I guess I just realized your greatness."

After a few such incidents, everyone knew it was Felix's fault, but only his tongue was kicked from behind. Because no one wanted to suffer a terrible thing.

Of course, Yulia turned a blind eye to it. The acting was cute, but it was because no one accused Felix.

It was none other than Eusto who had a particularly bad relationship with Felix. Still, it was close to cooperation under Yulia to some extent, but after her death, she became an implacable enemy.

I'm glad it's blind for Yulia.’

She spoke to Felix in a soft way."There's something I'd like you to do."

"Yes, say anything!"

"First of all, will you keep an eye on Duke Pez and block any contact with him?”

"It's simple!"

His talent was used well in war. Being a cannabis wizard is more of a future job, but he still has excellent magic.

"Of course, so that the Duke does not notice."

"Sure!"

Felix quickly drew a fountain pen from his pocket and chanted a spell. It was also a gift from Julia. What a frighteningly blind boy he was.

"And one more thing. I hope we can stabilize the climate of the exile tower for a few days."

"The exile tower?”

"Yes, it's Duke Pez's work."

Felix nodded loudly at the words. When she returned to the capital after the war, Felix's least favorite was none other than the Duke of Fez.

It's not pleasant but it was acceptable that Julia trusted Eusto the most. But to that crazy sheep, Felix, Duke Fez was a scum. He was incapable, greedy, and even dared to take over the authority of the Emperor.

Felix was full of reasons to hate. But it was not easy to speak out because the emperor defended him. But now that Julia is talking about her plan to overthrow Duke Pez, he has no choice but to be excited.

"Is there anything else to do, Your Majesty?"

Felix asked, eyes clearer. Julia tapped the papers with a smile at the words.

"I'm sure you'll do well to find out what's wrong."

"Yes!"

Felix finished his spell and sat in a seat near Julia, looking at the papers.

All right, then me too!

The first thing to find was the part about Count Venus. It would have to be released first for things to proceed properly.

Julia opened the document with nervousness. It was nice to be here full of spirit, but there was actually something that worried me. But as soon as the papers caught sight, her worries melted away.

I can read it.’

The text message was different, but I could tell. Perhaps the knowledge that the body owner originally knew naturally became his own.

Soon a bundle of documents came in from Duke Pez's office. Her few allies, including Julia, began wrestling with documents.

"I release Count Venus for lack of evidence!"

She issued the order about three hours after she began grappling with the papers.

How nice the papers are.

All of them were terrible. Some of the lengthy explanations for a one-line report went over ten pages.

'He's like a general manager.’

Manager Lee tended to think that a one-page summary would be better to fill the page in a lengthy manner from the outline rather than a clear document. He was typically incompetent, looking at quantity rather than substance and working hours rather than quality.

Thanks to you, it took time to become a boss and look at his documents. Because I had to read it all to find out where the point was.

We've been using this guy all along, and the country is doomed.

Julia sighed deeply and pressed the middle of her forehead. After seeing it, Flena got up and prepared a car.

"Your Majesty, please rest for a while."

"Yes."

Nodding, I saw the car that Flena put up. The car smelled fresh. And I could see expectations on Plena's face.

This was nothing more than Chinacha tea, which Julia used to enjoy planning operations until two years ago. If you drink it to match the refreshing scent, it will clear your head. As effective as it was, it was very difficult to cultivate and refine tea leaves for drinking. The car tasted disgustingly bitter when I did something wrong.Plena grew tea for Julia and dried the leaves with all her heart. We also had to pay special attention to the water temperature and time. With such sincerity, it became a great tea with a refreshing and slightly sour taste at the end.

"It's been a long time since Jim put this on his mouth.”

"…do you like it?”

She asked nervously. Julia wanted to nod her head really hard at the words.

'If I had something like this, I wouldn't have had to pour coffee like that!’

It worked really well. The headache that had been pounding until just now seemed to disappear. My head cleared up as if I had slept well there.

When I recall how to grow and manufacture tea, which had been listed several lines in the novel, I wanted to give Flena a round of applause. I've done this for only one person, Yulia, not anyone else.

"There's no way Flena's car doesn't suit her."

"Your Majesty..."

"Forgot this taste, Jim did something really hurt."

Julia replied to her with a smile. And I took a sip again. I thought I could drink a few cups a day if I wasn't picky about growing.

Thanks to Julia's answer, there was a sense of humor in the office. But the warm and cozy atmosphere didn't last long.

Because Eusto came to her with a knock.

"Your Majesty, the Captain of the Gu asks for an audience."

"Listen."

The maid opened the door to the horse. Eusto, who came inside, had a stiff look on his face at first sight. I felt a sense of confusion in him.

Julia was bitten by both maids and servants to talk to him. After that, I recommended him as if he had nailed it.

"Sit down."

"…what are you thinking?"

"What do you mean?"

"You ordered the release of Count Venus."

"Yes, the Duke of Fez's handling was inadequate."

Julia looked at him and said calmly. As a woman who already knows the whole story, she felt sorry for him for nothing.

'It must be painful and hard.’

I thought you would blame me. How distressed and determined he was to rebel against Yulia. How many rocks did that stubborn, honest man break to break his heart.

But apart from the sadness, Julia valued her life.

"Is that really so?"

"Or what do you think you're asking?”

“…….”

Eusto did not respond easily. He will.

Julia, who has changed in two years, won't do this. He would not think that he could be swayed by the Duke of Fez to make common sense and correct judgments as an emperor.

The next two days, Julia was going to do anything to survive.

Even if that's what drives Eusto into chaos.

It was soon to be known to the crowd that she had noticed treason anyway. It was Count Venus, not Julia, who threw the card. He was not in a position to be relaxed enough not to play a spare hand. If you give room to recoil, the purpose has been achieved.

"Otherwise, you don't believe in Jim."

Julia talked with a big smile.

Eusto looked at her with heavy eyes at her comments. She looked like she used to say that.

'Why are you so late...….’

That smile was what Eusto liked until two years ago. As he spoke confidently, he devoted both his loyalty and devotion to her.But now it was painful. And I couldn't believe it.

It was three days ago that he admitted that he did not have a noble Julia. But it couldn't have changed in just a few days. Also, I didn't want to be played by Julia's whim.

'Oh, I'm dying.’

In the meantime, the lady-in-law announced that Count Venus had arrived, and the conversation with Eusto was concluded. After he left, Julia fell on her desk.

I'm sorry for Eusto, by the way.

But it was that hard to deal with him. It was an opponent who could not relax or push him away.

Julia sighed deeply once again. In the meantime, I heard a hard voice with the sound of the door closing.

"Did I come to your time off?”

It was the voice of Count Venus. I blew it out of my memory even though I heard that he had come because of Eusto.

Julia straightened her posture.

"Have you come?"

"It seems that the maid didn't properly announce it."

"No, I heard you."

"Then it's because of Duke Marcus.”

"Are you doing this on purpose?"

"Yes."

Julia frowned at the words. So did Eusto, who had just left, but Count Venus was also out of the boat. Indeed, he literally seemed to regard life as unimportant.

He knows I'm not gonna kill him right now.’

I felt uncomfortable because I felt like I had a weakness.

"This guy, that guy...….’

Julia opened her mouth to him with a sour look on her face.

"I'm glad it came out safely."

"Thanks to your quick handling."

"There's only a few days left. So, can you file a complaint right away?"

He nodded with a relaxed face at Julia's words. He took out a rolled scroll from his arms and placed it in front of Julia.

"I've cleared up all the corruption that Duke Pez has committed while taking charge of the internal affairs."

As he said confidently, when he untied the scroll, he saw details of the year and actions. All day long, Duke Pez's rambling documents were more clearly summarized, which seemed to open his eyes.

'Wow, you've done a great job.’

Very frugally, I left it out here and there. It was small in the beginning, but it grew bolder as it went on. Especially last year was great. Knowing that Julia was not meticulously checking, I missed half of the budget.

Of course he wasn't the only one who missed it. Originally, others who were supposed to be watching him also ate together.

'How much do you have to cut out?’

Most of those who hold current positions had to be removed. The Duke of Fez cut all the people who didn't mess up in the first place.

He's a bad guy, too.’

Count Venus briefly examined Julia's facial expressions, and then presented the materials he had kept. From the data he prepared, he felt his willingness to screw all the corrupt people. Thanks to this, he had to spend all his time until that night just to get rid of the materials to be used urgently.

As soon as I heard the bird chirping to announce the morning, my eyes opened wide.

Today is the last day.

If you don't show something today, there will be treason tomorrow. So I made all the materials for the presentation all night yesterday.

Julia ordered most nobles to enter the palace yesterday. The meeting was scheduled to take place early this morning.

You have to do well today to live.’

Things worked out better than I thought.Of course, there was something dubious about Duke Pez's move.

"No matter how stupid you are, I never thought you'd believe it.’

Felix reportedly played and ate very well, without really doubting it, after returning yesterday. He was surprised when she ordered him to enter the palace last night.

In other words, there is a high possibility that he will prepare something today.

Julia got up from her seat scratching her head and arranged her thoughts. I've been using my brain for three days and my head has been pounding.

'I don't want to go to work... No, I don't want to go to the meeting...….’

He pressed his heart and pulled on the string. Lady-in-law was waiting for her grooming. Their sparkling eyes made me think I should get my act together more.

It was the first time to stand in front of the nobles after becoming Julia. Their clothes were also much more colorful than usual.

It's always been too simple.’

I always wore a shirt and pants.

The clothes I prepared for Julia today were a sort of riding coat. Tied over a stand shirt wrapped around the neck, she wore a dress cut to fit.

Of course, Plena didn't forget to bring armor under her clothes. The thin leather armor felt strangely soft when moving, but the surface was firm. I thought it would be hard to cut with a sword.

Julia moved around and checked for the last time just in case, then went outside after Flena drank tea.

As I got closer to the conference room, I heard a commotion. I felt a chill in my back with him. Her back would always get cold when she was nervous.

"It's okay, I don't have a manager who'll grind me to the bone!’

No one could blame her for such a trifle. That alone made me feel at ease. In addition, I spent all night organizing data with Count Venus, who was more meticulous than Lee. The picky person couldn't have left the data with loopholes.

When Julia arrived at the door of the conference room, the guards there paid tribute to her with a nervous face.

"I see His Majesty, the Lord of the Empire."

"Yes, it is."

Julia beckoned them as if time was a waste. The guards announced the emperor's arrival in a loud voice.

When the door opened, the hall, which had been noisy until just now, was as quiet as death. Julia felt her whole body tense on the spot.

The only ones who had a friendly heart for Yulia were the servants and maids who followed her. All the nobles who gathered reflected different bad feelings on her.

"Is this why you're crazy?"

I thought it would be tiring if I could feel the energy of other people like this much. But it didn't have to be daunted. Thanks to the people behind me, it's much better than the first day when we were enemies.

It's a cause-and-effect.

Although he did not commit the crime, he intended to pay it back responsibly. He thinks there's a reason why he survived.

Julia opened her mouth to them as she sat in the seat of the emperor at the highest point.

"Thank you all for coming together.”

“…….”

Once again, I felt a discontented look at her. Indeed, so far I have felt nothing but bad feelings to the extent that I think she has been able to endure.

Except for that, Count Venus, who would be a ally at this meeting. He was looking at the documents with an air that he didn't care if the surroundings were noisy or not.All right, there's no way you're gonna be discouraged.’

A glance at the conference room revealed who was which force.

The two men in the front and center were divided in half by Duke Eusto and Duke Fez. Count Venus sat moderately in the middle, but he was, in fact, on the side of Eusto.

"Today Jim called you in to correct what was wrong."

The doubts in their eyes deepened at Julia's words. He looked at what other whim the emperor was going to do.

"In the meantime, Jim trusted Duke Pez and entrusted him with internal affairs. However, there is an accusation that there is something wrong with what he has done, so I want to correct it."

As soon as Julia spoke, a nobleman sitting on the Duke of Pez shouted, banging his desk.

"It's a slander! Don't listen to those who want to defile your wisdom!"

"Yes! How much care has the Duke of Fez been giving!"

The Duke of Fez grinned at Julia, stiffening his shoulders at the sound of their beating.

'Oh, I'm getting sick again.’

There was a subtle appeal that seemed to be trusting him. He felt strange about Julia's behavior, but he showed himself that he could still roast her.

"There are so many people who stand up for me, so why would you bother?"’

It felt like a subtle threat. But Julia didn't really care. Their power was nothing to fear.

In the first place, Julia didn't listen to them because she was afraid. She was like a child and just comfortable with them giving her what she wanted.

You don't even think it's bad for you.

But he was not himself. Because I knew what they were doing was a piece of corruption that ate Yulia, and even the whole empire.

Julia looked at them as if to be quiet. At first, they continued to insist, but soon shut their mouths to the emperor's heavy eyes. Her intense gaze must have felt like a notice of execution.

As the hall stabilized, Julia turned to Count Venus.

Count Venus, you asked Jim today to accuse Duke Pez.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Count Venus slowly rose from his seat, saying so. I already knew what he was going to say, but it was important to borrow his mouth and file a complaint at a place like this.

'Cause then it'll appeal to you that I'll cut out the Duke of Fez from Eusto, and that I'll be different.’

As Count Venus stood on the middle platform, Duke Pez opened his mouth with a flushed face.

"Your Majesty, how can you listen to a sinner!”

"Crime man?"

"Didn't I report his sins in detail?"

It was an expected action.

Julia spoke to him calmly without a look on her face.

"Are you saying that Jim's judgment was wrong when he was released for lack of evidence?"

Duke Pez's expression hardened.

"It's not like that."

Duke Pez, Jim wants to trust you.

"So...."

"So I want you to prove your innocence here, is it difficult?”

Julia smiled at him, saying so. Her chin-to-cheek behavior seemed light, but it felt like a heavy threat to the Duke of Fez.

"You said you were Jim's most loyal servant, and Jim said what he wanted from you. Are you going to disobey me?"

The Duke of Fez said, "Well, I...…' I couldn't say a word. The meek flattery he had been talking about in front of Yulia had become a constraint on him.Julia laughed and talked to Count Venus.

"So tell me, Count Venus. Jim's most loyal servant, what to accuse Duke Pez of."

Julia and Count Venus looked at each other, pulling one corner of their mouth and laughing.

Count Venus sent a signal ahead of the report. The figure of a transparent polyhedron glistened and shot toward the document. The document was enlarged and floated in front of the nobles.

We need visual data to make sure everyone understands.

Whenever I saw a verbal report, I remembered the manager Lee, who asked me to make a presentation even if it was nothing. Therefore, Julia prepared the last consideration for Duke Pez, who resembles Lee.

She smiled at Felix, who understood and prepared the sudden request yesterday. Then he blushed with embarrassment.

The nobles buzzed with astonishment at the huge projection that suddenly appeared.

"No, that's possible!"

"You're right. It sounds amazing. I can't believe they can float documents that big.….”

"Magicians are such a waste of magic that they don't even try, but your majesty's crazy... No, Mr. Felix is amazing.

The aristocrats of the Eusto side checked the contents and talked to each other as if they were curious and satisfied. In the first place, it was the accusation of Count Venus, who was close to their side. Thanks to this, I was able to focus fully on the projections and contents that I had never seen before.

But they were not nobles on the side of Pez. They read the writing on the projection with their contemplated eyes.

"No, I don't know what to do...….”

"What do you think honor is? Isn't this an insult before sin?"

Julia laughed contentedly inside as she heard their catchy voices.

'Thanks to Manager Lee, I'm confident in making a presentation that even idiots can recognize at a glance.’

Yesterday, I made a final document with Count Venus, trimming and placing letters close to madness. Count Venus, who was watching from the side, even kicked his tongue as if he was sick of Julia. I made it so many times that I could make it very neatly by hand.

The first chapter summarizes the points, and then details!

It was thanks to someone who complained that it was not sincere to summarize the point in one page and that he would not recognize it if it was written for a long time. So, at the end, it came to a point, catching a point.

I was confident I'd be perfect next time.’

Julia intended to address the injustice to the likeness, Duke Pez, here. Indeed, the Duke of Fez and his participants were all in contemplation.

Even if Count Venus doesn't read it kindly, even if he doesn't want to see it, it's so stuck in his eyes that he can't avoid it. Of course, Count Venus's distinctive stiff and accurate pronunciation would also be effective.

"The following are the sins that Duke Pez has committed since 264 Imperial years, when His Majesty commissioned internal affairs on his behalf."

Once the count cleared his throat and began reciting the charges.

"The crime of embezzling about 60 percent of the national treasury over 270 years from 264 to 270 years, and taking bribes for the self-interest of various aristocrats…….”

From there, he recited crimes that exceeded double digits. The pompous pride of other nobles, including Duke Pez, was seen collapsing one after another.

But it was not pleasant. Even though I had already seen the whole story, I heard that anger rose against Duke Pez.They're all suffering because of him!

And Yulia almost died, too.

Of course, it was originally a sin that Yulia herself was an emperor in the first place and did not work properly.

The accusation, not the long reading, recited the last sin.

"The sin of abusing its power, despite the vicarious delegation of the Emperor. I hereby accuse the Emperor of Duke Fez, the lord of the empire."

Count Venus ended the accusation with a calm voice, unravelled to the end. He laid down the papers and waited, but Julia stared silently at Duke Pez for a while.

The Duke rolled his eyes incessantly as if he wanted to find somewhere to run away from the fierce gaze. Not only that, but the hall was in silence.

Eusto watched with doubts as to how the emperor would behave in his own way.

So far Julia has sided with Duke Pez. If she made the same judgment, she had to protect Count Venus quickly. Eusto's keen eyes reached Yulia in tension.

'He's suspicious.’

Julia smiled as soon as she felt his gaze. Everyone held their breath even more at her little laugh.

Julia slowly rose to her feet, sighing loudly, as if to hear from the Duke of Pez.

"Jim's most loyal servant, Duke Fez."

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty."

"Can you still make fun of your long tongue?"

Julia slowly approached him at a slow pace. He cringed every time there was a thud, thud, step.

Until yesterday, I felt like I was in his world. Until the day before yesterday, the emperor was yelling in front of the aristocrats that he was playing in their hands. But now, to him, the sound of her footsteps felt like a countdown to the death penalty.

Julia stood in front of him and asked, putting her hand on a waist-deep sword.

"Why no answer, Duke Fez."

"Well, that's...….”

"Isn't there something you're good at?"

"…what?"

"It's a slander, Your Majesty. They set me up. Don't tell me you'll listen to those rude sinners. The same thing.”

Julia laughed at him one after another. This was not the first time Duke Fez had been accused after the war. But every time he would fabricate evidence as if the accusers had fabricated it. That's what I used to say every time.

"Do you remember what Jim said two days ago?"

"Oh, my God. My belief is... how much loyalty...….”

The crime was revealed in detail, and this time he was careless, so he couldn't fake it to claim that it was fabricated evidence. He memorized only excuses for Yulia like a broken recorder.

Julia put her hand slightly on the waist-deep sword. There was a small clipping sound from the sword slightly pushed with the thumb.

"Faithful, do you always give it back to Jim?”

"It's a misunderstanding...He's a sinner. To protect his life, I will give false evidence to His Majesty...…!”

"Did you say it was a lie?"

Julia slowly pulled out the sword at the horse. Her movement showed tension not only in the nobles of the Duke of Fez but also in the eusto side.

No matter how messed up the imperial family was, this was in front of the emperor. Some may have sneaked in, but no one but the emperor could bring in a sword.

Julia laughed out loud and talked to him.

"I'm sure Jim told you."

Julia stretched her sword towards him. The sharp black glowed smooth right in front of his lips."The more lying you are, the longer your tongue is...….”

As Julia spoke in a low voice, Duke Pez's face turned blue. He tried to cover his mouth with his hands, apparently cutting out his tongue at any moment. Then he cut the back of his hand with a sword nearby.

"Argh! Argh!

The knife scratched the back of his hand and he screamed as if he had cut his throat. The aristocrats on the part of Eusto, who participated in the war, looked pitifully.

'That's a lot of things.’

A fool never had a fool like this. He didn't even brandish his sword, but I put my hand to the knife myself and held his hand for death.

"You're so mean, Your Majesty...…!”

He looked at Julia with a look of imminent tears.

Even a likable person would be angry if he sinned like this and made such a face. But far from being likable, he was disgusted, so his fever went up.

"Argh!"

He screamed one more time.

It was because blackness rose from Julia's body.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."So, do you think you're gonna kill your conviction here?”

Julia frowned on the words. All she did was put the sword right in front of her mouth. It was such a fuss that some might think he was a fan. It was so ugly that even the aristocrat who usually followed Duke Pez turned his head with a face that he wanted to pretend to be a stranger.

Julia sighed dirty as she looked at his blood droplets at the end of the sword.

"What a waste of a sword.”

"…Your Majesty..."

Perhaps her words were a bit of a shock, he looked at Julia with a distraught look on his face. She kicked her tongue and told him.

"Did Count Venus falsely frame you?"

"…yes, t, absolutely. How many times do you still have?"

"So you're going to tell Jim that what he's checking is a lie?"

"Yes……?"

"Didn't you say you'd check every inch of the document?"

"How can you already… Everything...?"

I looked at Julia with an expression that I couldn't. He looked like he could never understand it with his head.

'He's the same as the guy who bragged like he did a lot of work after finishing one repetitive task all day, the same.’

Julia spoke without putting his bloodstained sword in the search. I felt uncomfortable because I thought that the search would be dirty if I went into the search like this.

"There are so many loopholes, you should have been smarter if you were going to do something dirty."

Julia's words made him realize he was virtually convicted. She spoke to the pre-prepared Guard.

Detain Duke Pez on charges found today.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"His disposition will be decided by trial three days later."

Everyone held their breath at Julia's words.

Trial.

It was a word that she had never said since the emperor returned from the war. Of course, Yulia wanted to make a quick decision. But the trial was decided for two reasons.

The first was to show that she would no longer be a tyrant.

The second was to thin out the idiots who would still move thinking it was his world.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! You can't do this! You can't do this! How can I!!”

The Duke of Fez was captured and dragged away by the Guard, but appealed to Yulia as if he was innocent. But Julia didn't even look that way.She carried a sword and ascended to the throne. And declared before them.

"As of today, I will reclaim all the powers that Duke Fez had."

The sound of those in the hall swallowing their breath rang. Julia smiled leisurely and talked wedge after wedge.

"I have no intention of leaving those who waste their time in the Empire.”

The corrupt felt a chilled back neck, a declaration that shook those who rebelled against her. Meanwhile, the main character of the traitor, Eusto, was looking at Julia with a trembling look at the other thing.

"You did a great job today, Your Majesty."

"That's right, it was wonderful."

After the meeting, on their way back to the room, the maidens kept glistening eyes at her. Originally, to them, Julia would have been happier because she was an idol. Instead of saying thank you, Julia just smiled as usual.

"Well done, Your Majesty. I have a bath ready, so you can go in right away."

He nodded, pleased with Flena's words. At this moment, I realized like a ghost without telling her what she needed most.

Flena is the best.’

Now, I was nervous when dealing with other people, if not all sides. Not to mention a meeting like today in particularly. I acted like an emperor in front of the crowd, and my shoulders were heavy. I really thought it would be perfect to take a hot bath and drink a beer.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

Julia said she would be alone for a while, and sent out the maidens, then immersed herself in a large bathtub. I could smell the scent in the warm water. It was new to combine her favorite zerin scent with other things. In addition, it was not beer, but it was a perfect consideration to prepare wine with low alcohol content.

He cares about every little thing. They're really nice people.’

Julia took a sip of the wine and breathed out. It wasn't stress-free, but it wasn't enough to pull strong alcohol.

I did everything I could.’

I splashed water on my toes and relaxed. It was the next day that treason took place in the novel.

Count Venus seemed to have lost interest in treason.

He was a man who hated being inefficient. Dealing with insane Julia also consumed a lot of troops, not to mention now.

The problem was Eusto and others. I asked Felix to put me under surveillance, so I could look into some of the trends.

'Oh, but I hope nothing happens. I'd rather be run over by a job.’

Julia, thinking so, gulped down the wine in her hand.

It was really dull.

The story was not organized into one thing, with a mixture of murmur and old voices in places.

After Emperor Julia broke up the meeting, Eusto and other conspirators gathered inside the capital. It was because the emperor did something different than they expected.

"The Knights have already gathered, and now they are softening their work...….”

"Oh, you don't know, Your Majesty, the sane Emperor, is hard to do with the Knights he said.

"Are you going to bite me?”

"Wouldn't it be better to wait and see, as long as you're going to trial...….”

"Well, what have you done so far, and you want me to believe it again? It'll be a whim! Who knows if this is a trap, too!"

For an hour after the meeting began, they continued their endless and inconclusive wrangling. It was because her actions confused them that much. After watching their actions for a while, Count Venus stood up with a bored face."I should get going."

"What?"

"Oh, let's leave me out of the rebellion."

"No, what are you...…!”

"How can you do this with people who can't even read the flow?"

"The Count believes in the Emperor? The emperor has been fickle once...…!”

Cyril pulled the corners of her mouth at the words and smiled. If he had wasted his time, he would have been sincere enough.

"It'll soon be revealed whether he's fickle or not, whether he's wrong or I'm wrong.”

"Count Venus!"

"I'm going to keep an eye on it. And I think you've all forgotten."

"What?"

Cyril quietly picked up the book on the desk and recited.

"We tried to fight back to reduce the sacrifices. Why should I throw it out when I have a chance to make it right without bleeding?"

At the end of the sentence, Cyril slammed out the door. The rest of the nobles clicked their tongues at him.

"That's why young people!"

"You're young, but you're still...…!”

Those who were not satisfied with playing a leading role in treason even though they were not that old shouted at the closed door.

"That's why you're so smart. That's why people in other countries...….”

"Did you just say you're a foreigner?"

At the sound of someone's sarcasm, a nobleman from other countries who attended the rebellion opened his eyes. Starting with that, someone opened their mouth as they tried to engage in meaningless arguments inside each other people.

"Stop it."

The heavy voice closed the mouths of the nobles, and I saw him sitting in the center in unison.

It was Eusto Marcus, the main character in this rebellion.

In fact, he hesitated until the end because he could not decide his mind about treason, but after joining, he naturally became a leader. I couldn't have predicted the success of this rebellion without him.

"What do you think, Duke?"

"Yes, the Duke will give us his opinion, too.

The nobles asked Eusto as if they were pushing him. Eusto thought the sound was really intrusive. He did not immediately answer, but remained silent for a moment.

There was a reason why I couldn't decide. A few days ago, he had already cleared his mind about treason.

It would have been.

So, even when I heard that Julia had gone to the exile tower, I rushed to run. I wondered what he was up to when he said he would convene the nobles. Every time I saw Julia, I had doubts. Whether you really made the right decision.

'I...'

He was more hesitant to rebel because he felt guilty about Yulia. Guilt for failing to correct her wrongdoing as the closest servant. Of course, he made his own advices and pleaded. But there was no day for her ears to open, and she always blamed it on her own inadequacy.

So I gave up.

I thought inside that Julia would no longer be able to return as before.

"If His Majesty could return as he did before, he would have sold his soul to the Devil hundreds of times. I would have asked you to tear my whole body apart.’

Still, his glove was a mess. It was because he did not properly treat the wounds caused by swinging the sword countless times to decide to rebel. I thought that would make me feel better.

But I saw it today.

'How come now...…!’

It was a vivid golden sword that had not been seen since that day two years ago. Julia's sword has become increasingly murky since two years ago.

After the war, when I was playing with men, I never even saw it coming out. By the way, her sword today, punishing Duke Pez, was as brilliant and ecstatic as it used to be. It was the beautiful color he fell in love with at first sight when he was a child and an apprentice. I desperately missed Yulia at that time, so I suspected that her eyes had created fantasies.But what if it isn't?

'Really... if His Majesty is back...….’

My mind shook mercilessly.

It was okay to swear at him for being spineless. It didn't matter if you put down everything you had now. It was even ok for Julia to kill herself right now. If she really came back, she'd be willing to split her heart. He's always wanted to live with everything as her sword. In order to do so, I had to meet with Julia once more.

Eusto replied in an unshakable voice to the aristocrats who were filling in with eyes and atmosphere.

"I'll see you tomorrow."

"The Duke."

"Even if we all work together, he's hard to beat. And... if you're really back, I won't stand up."

Eusto stood right up with the horse. There was a resentful cry behind him, but it didn't affect him at all.

The view from the window was dim. In a large room that was difficult to measure the size, Julia confronted Eusto alone with a sword.

Julia was happy to receive his sword, but a small stone beak caught her foot. It was a short gap, but his sword pierced her heart without hesitation.

"Gasp!"

Surprised with a short scream, Julia sprang to her feet.

'Dream...…'

A cold sweat fell down my back. Julia sighed, frowning. It was because I cared too much.

Today was September 14, 270, the day Emperor Julia died by Eusto.

'Ha... I heard from Felix yesterday.'

Just by listening to Felix's surveillance, it was clear that the treason was put on hold. Just as supporting his story, Eusto sent a request for an audience.

It's all right, nothing's gonna happen.’

Julia comforted herself. It would have been just a burst of anxiety that had been suppressing. For the past three days, I have had to prepare for the impending death before I even acknowledge it.

I didn't even have time to be sad that the other life I had lived hard was over. I was able to come all the way here because I was desperate to survive here.

'Ah...…'

Suddenly something seemed to be gathering in a daze. Julia put up with it. I couldn't burst it now.

Yet, it has not been fully resolved.’

Julia tightened her eyes tightly. It was able to withstand this, too.

I've heard a lot of sad things in my past life because it stands out more than others. If he had cried every time, he would never have been able to hold on. So it was okay. Julia counted her breath.

From ten to one. After that, he breathed deeply as if he was wrapping up. I could feel the emotion in my mind sinking familiarly.

Julia pulled the string, trimming her eyes once. Now, to the familiar maidens, Julia said with a face that she had no nightmares.

"When did Eusto say he was coming?”

"It's 11:00 a.m., Your Majesty."

Julia nodded at the words and served them breakfast.

After getting ready, I checked the sword I used yesterday. Thanks to the neat arrangement of the maidens, they boasted a beautiful line again.

After looking at the sword, he drank tea made by Flena and checked the documents he had not processed. The Duke of Fez did nothing right, so there was a mountain of post-war treatment.

"Let's appoint Count Venus as Chancellor.’

It occurred to me that he must be helpful. I could roughly guess if I ordered one or two jobs. I've received new employees several times during my company life. In the first place she wasn't stupid enough to say she'd take care of all this alone.After a few hours, it was 10 minutes left at 11:00.

"Captain Marcus asks for an audience, Your Majesty."

Julia slowly rose from her seat with her eyes that the horse had come.

It was the day of fate.

When I entered the audience room, there was a simpler eusto than I had seen several times. Julia realized that he had come without any armor.

'The atmosphere is also...'

There was no resentment towards her, which seemed to sting her. He just wanted to confirm.

Julia slowly entered the room, eye-to-eye with him.

"I see His Majesty, the Lord of the Empire."

He leaned straight down to her and took the example. Julia replied, beckoning to him as if to wake up.

"You made me wait."

"No, Your Majesty."

There was silence even when the two sat down and the car came out. Julia opened her mouth first, putting a light-scented tea on her mouth.

"Isn't there a reason you asked Jim for an audience?"

“…….”

Eusto looked at her quietly. The green eyes seemed to appeal to her.

"I have a request."

"What is it?"

"Can you show me your sword one more time?"

"…Black?"

Eusto nodded heavily at the words. I wonder if you're back, if you still have your old ideals, or if what you've done so far is really acting.

There was a lot of questions I wanted to ask. But a single confirmation seemed more accurate than a hundred words.

If she was who she had followed since she was a child, she could tell by the color of her sword. Even during the war, when Julia hid herself with a high fever, he realized the condition of the sword. No one else knew, but he didn't have the answer as clear as that.

Julia showed his favorite smile on his cautious face. It was a playful, yet confident and confident smile.

"Is this the answer to your baggage?"

Julia gently raised her right arm. Unlike the Duke of Fez, it was formed in a soft and gentle form.

The color was a brilliant color that Eusto longed to see. It was as ecstatic a beauty as it was when I first met her.

Eusto took a deep breath. Her eyes, which had been murky a few days ago, brilliantly recovered the light.

I didn't mind if you didn't ask me any more. For two years, his desperately sought-after monarch was here.

Eusto confessed his sins to her.

"I was suspicious of you."

"Is that so?"

"…I thought you were gone."

Julia blacked out as she listened to him. It never occurred to me to blame or punish Eusto. If he were with him, he wouldn't have to think about the threat of life.

"Did you find the baggage to say it?"

"Yes, I am here to seek your punishment."

Julia smiled softly at the words. The bitterness of suffering for three days and the buried death eased a little. She took another sip of tea and told him.

"Don't think you don't know you've been loyal to Jim.”

"Your Majesty..."

"The load is not so narrow that I can't forgive a single deviation."

Julia spoke coolly at him. I hoped this would solve his painful memory.

I'm not Julia by nature, but I'm her from now on.

So I was going to keep someone around who would help me. If you're going to do it, you should do it well. I was going to do well with the awkward tone of this mouth-pulling emperor and the mountain of state affairs.For that he needed to be. And Julia's answer was perfect for Eusto.

"Please make me pledge again."

Julia nodded quietly at his words. He knelt in front of Julia and bowed his head. In a quiet audience room, he once again pledged allegiance to no longer waver.

Julia moved to the office with a lighter heart. Not all the nobles who joined the eusto side were scattered yet, but it seemed only a matter of time. Originally, they should have been arrested for treason, but they didn't want to.

'I've been holding it in, and if I do well, I can turn it around.’

Felix, of course, was a very angry face, conveying the situation of the rebel group on the Eusto side.

"How can you call your majesty with such a lack of respect!"

Felix was poised to create new magic that would haunt them at any moment. Julia gently assuaged him as such.

"I don't mean to interrupt your hobby, but I have a lot of work to do, so could you write it for me?”

"Do I have a lot to do for you?"

"Sure."

"Tell me anything, I'll do whatever you ask me to do."

Felix replied to her with a look that said she could do anything if Yulia was happy.

Yesterday, after such a conversation, Julia told him to keep an eye on the Duke of Fez. There must have been some people to move on.

In fact, after Eusto's rebellion, Duke Fez fled for years.’

Years on the run. It happened when the groups that caused the rebellion took their eyes off them, saying that national maintenance came first.

The Duke of Pez declared war against the Ranchean Empire. In the first place, it was a war that was conquered by Julia's strength and Yusto's strength in supporting her. The empire suffered for years because of the collapse of a large axis.

'I mean, I'm sure Duke Fez won't stand still again this time.’

Although he showed a bad attitude, it was not a year or two that he made. Of course, there would be plenty of snags.

Julia rolled her brains out in the Oval Office, sorting out a list of things to do.

It was then that Felix shouted.

"Your Majesty!"

"Huh?"

"I've made a move!"

"Dear Duke Pez?”

He nodded at Julia's question. Felix approached her side and said what he had found out.

"I watched all of the Duke Pez's confidants, including the Earl of Arita."

The name of the person I expected came out.

Count Arita was the longest follower of Duke Pez in the real story. He is also a greedy man, and he followed Duke Pez because he was simple and stupid and easy to use at his disposal.

In fact, the Duke of Fez himself did not like it very much, but he was attached to his power or personal connections. Count Arita was far more subtle than Duke Pez, and had been removed from the trial list.

"All right, Felix. Tell me more about it."

"Yes!"

Julia, listening to him talk, put in her head how hunting would be most effective.

It was a deep night on September 16, 270.

Only two days ago, the prison, which was filled with people waiting for the day of execution, had only a few people, including Duke Pez, who had been detained.

Tomorrow was the day of trial ordered by Emperor Julia. Being sinners in an insulting way in front of the nobles, they gnashed their teeth.'How dare you tell me...….’

Duke Pez still shuddered at the back of his throbbing hand. After the emperor returned, he cleverly offered her medicine to keep her out of her senses. Of course, men were part of it.

I set her up as a scarecrow and thought she had nothing to do with the world. I have my own defense in there. In preparation for the emperor's coming to his senses, he also made a connection with the remaining royal family in other countries who were vindictive of her.

He did, but the emperor cheated on himself.

How could you do that? If it weren't for me, this country would be...…!’

No matter how strong the emperor is, he will not be able to withstand the remaining royalty from other countries. Having never experienced war, Duke Pez truly thought so.

He curled up in a humid, dirty prison and waited for the guard shift. She asked herself, so she didn't have to pretend to be loyal.

'I've been patient with that son of a b*tc*.’

Duke Pez shuddered once again.

"Let's give the son of a b*tc* a lesson."

"Yes, Duke."

Those detained together for committing crimes were only aware of such Duke Pez. None of them liked him, but they had to curry favour with him to escape trial. Everyone thought dirty and cheap inside, but they didn't show up.

The guard, who was guarding the front of the prison like a stone, moved. Duke Fez realized it was time. Count Arita gave him a reliable answer, saying yesterday that all preparations were made. And not long after, the prison door opened.

"Hurry up and come out, sir."

"Waiting for you, Earl."

"How can I see you suffer such humiliation?"

Count Arita guided him and the other nobles with a look of tears on his face. The count also deliberately brought in their replacement. It was easy to find someone who would replace the aristocrat who was locked up. I sold my life to the poor if I paid for it.

The count locked the door as he saw them enter the prison with a look of resignation.

"It's time for the guards to come soon. Sir, there's a stand-in, so if you use the underground waterway, you won't get caught easily."

"Of course you are! I won't forget what happened today."

"I'm just doing what's natural.

They whispered and shared a sense of flattery.

The underground waterway guided by Earl Arita was more humid and dark than the prison. It didn't use for a long time, so it smelled bad. Duke Pez grumbled with a grumpy look on his face.

"Is this the only place you've ever had?”

"It's a place like this, so you don't know."

"Yes, you have to put up with this for a good cause."

The Duke of Fez said so and blocked his nose. I felt bad again at the thought of the odor permeating my precious body.

But I held back thinking of Julia, who would soon kneel down to me.

"That's where the Knights will be waiting. We're going to the old Eton area by wagon."

"Yes, I am close to the Eton royal family.”

Count Arita nodded, knowingly, and opened the waterway door. Then, as if their eyes were full, light poured out.

"What a careless act! Turn off the light!"

Count Arita shouted in a low, angry voice at his knight-in-chief, who would be waiting. But it wasn't the waiting voice that answered the cry."Did you have a short sweet dream?"

It was a familiar voice. The midday light slowly disappeared, and I could see someone who could not be in sight of the recovery.

"Jim's a little tired. Because you've been dragging your feet so much."

Emperor Julia sat in a relaxed position on a wide rock and told them.

"So why don't you tell me the answer to this dreary thing? Isn't that right, Jim's most loyal servant, Duke Fez?

With the unexpected appearance of Julia, everyone who escaped from the waterway looked around in bewilderment. All the Knights, who had been on standby to escort the carriage, were neatly disarmed.

"Oh, my God."

The nobles who followed Duke Pez murmured incredibly. They all felt a sense of being crushed with fear.

Even though Emperor Julia was sitting in a relaxed position smiling, the sword she held seemed to penetrate her body at any moment.

"Oh, what can I do, Earl Arita."

Duke Pez asked him with a look of dismay. Count Arita seemed embarrassed, but answered calmly.

"That's all right, I have something to prepare for just in case."

"Contrast?"

"Yes, I wouldn't have prepared a single thousand to serve you."

The count said so and threw a horse tool out of his arms. Madogu, who burst into laughter at the moment, shot red light at the sky.

Julia looked at it interestingly.

'There's more to it, of course.’

I deliberately greeted them on this road because I had that possibility in mind. By deliberately adjusting the waiting time of the guards. All this thanks to Felix's surveillance of them.

"You don't have to bow down to that little emperor."

Unaware of such circumstances, Count Arita spoke confidently to Duke Pez. The Duke nodded, believing in the words.

"At the most, the emperor brought in a dozen guards, no match."

As soon as Earl Arita finished his words, the ground rang with shouts around them. With horses and men running, the noise gradually approached. Duke Pez stretched his shoulders at the sound.

"As expected, Earl Arita!"

"Let's make history here. The fact that the emperor was not properly escorted means that he could not read our numbers.”

"Well, then I'll name you a meritorious subject."

"Yes, sir, please remember that."

The two exchanged glistening eyes with greed. Of course Julia yawned boredly as she listened to them through Felix.

'Well, one thing to be proud of is a bunch of awesome people.’

Maybe I'm in a dream by now. They'll think of a day when they'll take over the hegemony of the empire and play profligately in the vast continent.

Julia slowly rose to her feet, looking at the dust rising through the dark dawn light.

"Whoo...…."

The nearby guards were nervous when they got up lightly and grabbed the sword. Because before they came out, I saw Julia fight against the Knights.

But the Duke of Fez, who saw the Emperor pull his lips and laugh, thought she was lost. Because the Knights of various noble families gathered behind them one after another.

"I'm going to deal with these thousands of knights."

"It's like the last straw."

Duke Fez said as if it were nothing. Yulia's face, which was seen as soon as it came out, cooled her spine, but now there was a strong force."I'm glad you're safe, Duke!"

"Well done, Your Majesty!"

Those who followed the Duke of Pez greeted him one after another.

'It's different from what I thought.’

Duke Pez looked at Julia with his small arms around his waist.

The reason I've been drugging her and keeping in touch with other countries. It was because he intended to devour power entirely for a chance.

Having been detained by Yulia, when preparations were almost complete, everyone thought it was broken and hit the ground further. But this was all right. Even though it was less than he planned, so was the Emperor.

"Listen to the Emperor."

"Tell me."

Julia looked at him with interest. She stood at an angle with her weight on one leg and looked at him with only one arm on her waist.

"Today, I, Duke of Fez, will punish you, for the Emperor's profligacy, greed, and cruelty are added day by day!"

He spoke in a very dignified manner.

I'm sure he's scared by now.’

Duke Pez looked at Julia with that thought. But Julia once again yawned loudly.

"So have you done with your favorite form?”

"What, what?"

"I told you, Jim is a little tired. It's so boring.”

Duke Pez quivered with clenched teeth at Julia's words. I thought it was not long before I said that I would be overpowered. He gallopedly ordered the Knights to march.

"Attack the Emperor Julia, all of you! You're welcome to shoot!"

"Yes, sir!"

Having never gone to war, they charged, believing in the strength of the Knights. Count Arita stood by him, escorting the Duke. None of them anticipated failure. But the next moment they thought their hearts were frozen.

Slowly carrying the sword, the emperor stormed out of the seat at a speed that their eyes could hardly follow and stepped forward in front of the Knights. What they could see was a golden afterimage of dark dawn.

"What is that?"

Count Arita barely answered the question of the startled Duke of Pez, having been absentminded for a long time.

"I think…Emperor…"

"Your Majesty!"

Yulia moved without Eusto stopping her. It was the same when I just arrived here and arranged the Knights. She didn't even wait for the guards to move and charged straight away.

'How come nothing has changed like that?’

Eusto slightly touched the shoulder. It was a place where the wounds remained when he was confronted with Julia after noticing Duke Pez's plan. It touched my heart for nothing.

There were large and small scars on Eusto's body, most of which were obtained by Yulia. It was an honor for him. It meant that Yulia was not going easy on Eusto. So my heart fluttered when she said let's fight for the first time in a while. I really felt that the emperor was back.

She was a bit awkward at first, but every time she hit it, it turned into a sharp and sharp attack as before. And what I saw today was completely the same as before. The noble and elegant ruler of the battlefield, the beauty that seemed to take away the soul no matter how many times I saw it.

"Don't be flattered by yourself.

Felix spoke as Eusto fluttered out to help her.

"What?"

"You're not the only one who knows the beauty of His Majesty, and you're not the only one who can help!"

Felix held the fountain pen that Julia gave him at the same time. There were colorful, transparent figures near him. It was his signature magical form.Eusto ran out without replying to his words. At this rate, it was clear that Julia would sweep it all by herself again. As a subject, I couldn't let that happen.

Looking at his splendid golden sword, he headed for the enemies who had come in a moving mood for the first time in a long time.

"Huh, huh!"

Those who ran with great force quickly swallowed their breath. Before they even recognized it, Julia's gold color filled their eyes.

"Will you do this to relieve the boredom of your baggage?"

Julia shook her arms with a smile.

Whoosh-

At a rate they couldn't keep up, the sword split them. She effectively attacked the aristocrats in command. It also left only fatal wounds that would never die.

I'm glad I ran a restaurant.’

Originally she didn't know swordsmanship, but after a fight with him she learned most of her senses. It was a sense that the ability to sleep for a long time was awakened. The weight and touch of the sword were all familiar as if they had been brandished constantly. Instinctively knew how to attack and defend.

"Choi, jump in at once as much as you can!"

Seeing the two nobles fall in an instant, one of the other nobles shouted so. Knights rushed around like they were besieging Julia, burning with tension.

Chaeng-!

Julia flicked off three forward players with a single sword.k.a. He lost his balance at once and fell down when he pushed with technical strength.

Then there were those who attacked her thinking that her side was completely empty.

Flutter!

But the attempt overshadowed her elbows. Even if they wore a blunt sword not to kill them, they were struck by a blunt force of pain.

"Gasp……"

Every time she passed, the screams of the fallen flowed. There were occasional people she left alone, but it was hard to get away with.

"Don't touch your Majesty with dirty hands!"

Felix, who has repeatedly followed Julia through the battlefield, has learned her habits. Those who she trusted and left him suffered from his magic. Felix caused so much pain that he would rather be beaten by Yulia. Screaming at the pain of squeezing the whole body, he said, "Kill rather…"…,' he said painfully.

Eusto knocked down the knights on the other side of her. Unlike the splendid Julia's sword, he knocked it down in a straightforward and canonical manner. Unlike Julia, who doesn't use magic, he created a wind and pushed people away when they felt crowded.

Felix may be someone else, but Eusto didn't cover anything other than a real death situation, so it was a deliberate magic trick.

"Monster, monster...….”

The drivers who were advancing slowly stepped back.

"What, what are you doing? Hurry up and go and attack the Emperor!"

"Bae, Bae, Bae, Count, go ahead!"

Julia smiled coldly at the sight. It was funny that he tried to deal with them, who had suffered numerous wars with such disarray.

Julia took a step toward the Knights, who had not come any closer than a certain line after seeing the fallen.

"What's wrong with you? I haven't even warmed up properly yet.”

Julia grinned at them.

In the dim light of dawn they truly thought she was a monster. The blue eyes, rumored to be beautiful, seemed to glow with madness.

"Oh, Earl of Arita... Do something about it!!"

The Duke of Fez pressed him as he watched the approaching Julia. Count Arita clenched his teeth and received a bow from a knight who was escorted by him.'If you're off guard now...…!’

Count Arita, if anything else, was confident in his bow. Although he did not go to battle, his performance was the best among his favorite nobles. I walked a good bow and pulled it quickly. The arrow turned straight ahead of Julia.

'That's it!'

The moment the arrow left his hand, Earl Arita was so sure. But the eyes met with Julia at the moment. He felt strangled just by looking at him. To make matters worse, the arrow that should have penetrated her neck was ridiculously wrong just by bending her head slightly and avoiding it.

It wasn't her neck that matched, it was her hair tie. The stubble and red hairband fell to the floor.

Julia looked at them with a dumbfounded look on her face.

"What a waste, it's made by Plena himself."

And the very next moment, Julia's beautiful hair sank in front of their noses. In a single leap, he landed right in front of them, turning gently in the air.

"I must add to the crime of vandalism.”

The calm words made them feel like their hearts stopped. They stepped back reflexively.

Julia was grinning. They felt the fear of death that they had never experienced before. Even the remaining soldiers behind her were seen collapsing at the hands of Eusto, Felix and the Guard one after another.

The Duke of Fez turned pale and grabbed Count Arita by the shoulder.

"Bar, bar, the way!"

Count Arita shook his head at the words.

It was a monster. They were no match for each other. I realized it too late. So far, there has been nothing that he has not decided to do. Count Arita felt at this moment how humble he was.

"How, Sue! Come up with it!!”

"I know. I was really looking forward to it."

Julia smiled at Count Arita as she heard the Duke of Pez.

"Isn't this too lame? I thought you'd let me warm up because you said you'd punish me."

Count Arita literally knelt at the word. No matter how hard I tried, I didn't think of a way to rise. Now that it happened, I had to beg for my life from the emperor.

"I was out of my mind! Your Majesty!!"

"You were out of your mind?"

"Yes, Pez, I was ordered by the Duke of Pez, and I had no choice! He said he'd do this or I'd kill you!"

Now that it happened, it was imperative to sell the Duke of Fez to take my life. He did what he was told, and he didn't even know if he could survive. The Duke of Fez was surprised to see Count Arita.

"The Earl!"

"Your Majesty, believe me!”

Count Arita crawled on his knees and approached Yulia. But at that moment, the pain of hitting something on my knee soon hit me.

"Ugh!"

Felix, who quickly followed his scream, breathed his breath and cast a spell at him.

"Don't approach your Majesty with a dirty body!"

Count Arita glanced at Felix at the words. But Yulia's crazy sheep snorted as if it were a joke. Count Arita was forced to pound his forehead on the spot.

"Your Majesty, believe me! I couldn't help it!"

"Hey, man!"

The Duke of Fez knelt before Julia as if he could not lose at the words.

"It's a setup!"

Julia laughed as if she was dumbfounded by the words. Indeed, he did not even have an excuse repertoire. Just a few days ago, among the lines that Julia personally said, "It's a slander.That's why you're sinners.

Both were men of their own position. But they only used a little ability to fill their stomachs.

'It's a sin that a man in a high position is incompetent.’

Julia looked at the two people with her sword intact. I felt the dawn slowly rising behind my back thanks to the time spent running wild.

"One man is a slander, one man is not…"….”

"Well, what I said is true, Your Majesty!"

"No, it's me! I'm the best loyalist!"

The Duke of Fez told her, clinging to his long past sell-by the end of its sell-by date. Julia smiled at him for the last straw.

"Yes, it was."

"Your Majesty..."

Despite the past tense, he had hope.

"But how can Jim not be fair as an emperor?"

"Yes……?"

"So let's try to cover up what's wrong."

That's what Julia said and put the sword in the sniffer. With the sun sticking out, it's past time for the sword to go berserk.

"It's your day of trial, Jim personally escorts you to the court."

Julia wiped the smile off her face with that ending. In an instant, the surroundings seemed to freeze.

"Hold all the sinners here and send them to justice."

Dark shadows were cast on the faces of the aristocrats, who were elated just a while ago.

The nobles gathered in the courtroom looked pale at the Duke of Fez and several nobles who were tied up. In particular, those who were originally concerned about joining the Duke of Fez became more blue.

Julia entered the courtroom with the traces of the battle that had just now. The nobles, feeling intimidated by her appearance, bowed down more than usual and offered her an example.

"I see His Majesty, the Lord of the Empire."

"Let's all sit down.

Julia shook her hand as if it was a waste of time even for them to raise an example. The nobles were rather more nervous about that attitude.

Only two weeks ago, a young male count was slapped for not properly honoring Yulia. He was not wearing a sword, but he was very disciplined. He was still unable to go out because his face was swollen.

"Has your Majesty really changed?’

'I can't believe you're refusing all the examples...….’

It was a self-contained act of the nobility. However, I felt chills when I felt that it didn't work. The more stabbed he was, the more he tried to hide himself among others, as if to avoid the emperor's gaze.

Of course, there were still many who looked at it with doubtful eyes. It was those who followed Eusto. They waited eagerly for the trial today. Just because Eusto sided with Emperor Holang, they thought it was a mission that even they could not relax.

'You never know when the Emperor will go mad and commit genocide again.’

They remained suspicious until the end, and straightened out. Julia let out a low sigh as she felt the look and energy of those people.

'Unexpectedly, I'm getting used to it.’

It bothered me, but it wasn't to the point of panic. She looked at Earl of Venus, Cyril, who had previously directed her work. He nodded with a face that all preparations were complete.

"Then, from now on, the trial of the Duke of Fez and others who have committed treason."

Julia spoke vigorously of 'rebellion'. Then the faces of the tied men turned even bluer. The moment words came out of her mouth, she realized. Now that they failed to attack her, they can't escape saying that they're traitors, aiming their swords at the Emperor.In the ensuing trial, Cyril recited their further findings. Each time the charges were listed with a call, they trembled. It was because they thought it would be difficult to avoid death no matter how hard they tried. After the lengthy charges and testimony, Cyril Benus opened his mouth like a wedge.

"Lastly, there are two more facts that I've uncovered."

"What is it?"

Yulia had never heard of it either. But there was a point. Because I heard their conversation in the underground waterway through Felix's magic.

"For administering prohibited drugs to His Majesty, for selling state secrets to other powers in the process."

At that moment, the hall became quiet as if it had poured cold water on it.

There were some who could understand, if nothing else, even the rebellion against the emperor. However, selling off confidential information was very bold and awkward. But there was a fact that cut their teeth more than that.

"His Majesty, the drug...…?”

Cyril briefly answered yes to someone's questionable murmur. At that moment, Duke Pez received a look of murder. Eusto and Felix, who were by her side, laid their hands on their respective weapons and stared at him as if they were going to kill him right away.

Julia raised her hand and restrained the two, feeling alive that she had never felt before.

"Your Majesty, you must be executed immediately!"

It was Yusto who shouted first. He glared at him like he couldn't let it go. But the fact that he administered drugs to Yulia caused confusion in the gut in a different sense.

"Then what has been strange about you...….”

"Because of the Duke of Dafez?"

"That was weird! I think two years ago, your Majesty suddenly gave you all his words."

"Yes, he was always the first to think of the Imperial people, whether on the battlefield or wherever...…!”

Especially those who were with Julia on the battlefield felt more anger. There were a lot of people who cared about Julia. Now not only Eusto, but also other nobles have spoken up.

"We must execute him now, Your Majesty!"

"I can't let that filthy man live!"

"Your Majesty has almost taken over the stigma.”

My voice grew louder and louder. Listening to the voice, Julia quietly recalled the book.

'It feels like something has changed before and after…….’

I remembered the story strangely hazy. Thanks to Cyril's accusation, it immediately came to mind that Duke Fez used drugs, but there was one more thing left to be desired.

Something I couldn't think of until I heard it right now.

'The novel was rather unkind and had a lot of rough explanations.’

However, even if I tried to think more, I couldn't think of anything.

"Regardless of that, Duke Pez has sinned beyond redemption."

Julia calmed down the nobles shouting 'execute'.

"Stop."

The nobles obeyed her orders gently. Speaking of medicine, she seemed to understand why she had changed so much in a few days.

In fact, she hasn't had men in for about a week or so, nor has she had a strong drink. On top of that, her tone and judgment were all similar to two years ago. Now that there was a clear cause, there was no need to doubt the emperor anymore.

Julia quietly told them what she was going to say before the verdict.

"Jim thinks there has been a lot of blood on this continent due to the long war of conquest war of conquest. So I don't want to see any more blood.""Your Majesty!"

Her words crossed the voice of different emotions.

One was that it should not be the case with Duke Pez, and the other contained the faint hope of Duke Pez and other nobles.

Julia slowly opened her mouth, looking indifferently at the Duke of Pez. It was her honest feelings.

"But it is not right for the Duke of Fez to benefit from that compassion.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."!”

"The Duke of Fez, and the sinners, have already scapegoated so many innocent people. A duke does not have the right to treat others lightly."

Julia declared to them in a solemn voice.

"As far as Jim judges, your sins are so great that they cannot be repaid with their lives. It is also all the more reprehensible because they are in a position to be mirrors of others in the empire. Therefore, Jim will make an example of you."

One of the men tied to the horse screamed and fainted. Others were now white and shivering.

However, Duke Fez murmured with a face that did not accept reality.

"I can't do this, I can't do this...…. Isn't it a different story?…. I can't believe this...…!”

"Drag and execute!"

Julia orders, regardless of his murmur. On that day, an unusually quick execution took place at the execution site.

Julia tried to get their screams out of her ears and out of her head. As an emperor, he should not have any compassion. As if to show such determination, I remembered what I had to do right away.

"I must root out the corrupt nobility.’

I was going to bring blue.
