Chapter 233. Yes, I am the Spiritual Sage. (2) Soon after arriving in front of the emperor, she and her companions all lowered their postures and were polite.
Even though Nelvenia is the real power of the Holy Kingdom, it is officially a prosperous agent.
In front of the head of a foreign country, it is a position that it is inevitable to go in.
“I would like to see His Majesty Eylan Amret Janil, the emperor of the Merman Empire.”
“...?...Hmm, Saint Nelvenia. I've heard your name It's an honor for me to meet that famous saintess in person.”
Only then did they raise their heads when the Emperor spoke the words of welcome.
“It took a lot of work to come a long way.”
“no. Wouldn’t we be willing to go even further than this for the sake of the future of our kingdom and empire?”
“Um, I guess.”
Nelvenia and Aylan looked at each other and smiled.
It is a position created only for the establishment of a treaty from the beginning.
In writing, I finished all the understanding procedures.
All that remains is to sign it in front of the aristocrats who will be notaries.
Now, there is no need to talk about this or that.
“It would be a disgrace to the name of the imperial family if we made a noble guest from a long way stand there. I will guide you right away.”
“Yes, then I will share the details slowly.”
All that remains is to sign the paperwork for the transfer of the slave in the prepared room.
If so, the empire would have enough money to sell slaves, pay off debts, and enjoy its own luxuries.
Seong-guk can acquire troops in preparation for future wars.
‘Foolish....
The Holy Kingdom will never insignificantly spend, but it won't compare to the damage the empire will suffer in the future.
Nelvenia tried to hide her feelings and responded to the emperor with a smile.
It's not too long now.
Linda.
The emperor, who asked for understanding for a while and decided to listen to the urgent message first, finally frowned.
“???? What?”
What's going on?
As Nelvania observed their chaotic atmosphere, she had a hunch that something was wrong.
At that time, a messenger rushed from the Seongguk side as well.
I would have told you that there was nothing to report right now unless there was a very urgent incident ahead of the treaty.
Thinking about something unusual, Nelvenia heard the report of the problem.
“What happened?”
“This is an urgent call from Nelvania-sama’s spy.”
“I have an important meeting ahead of me. If it's a report, listen to it a little later.”
“That's... the message from the spy dispatched to the Ernesia Kingdom.”
The bad feeling grew stronger.
“Tell me.”
“It is said that Princess Pena Amret Zanil, who went to study in Ernesia Kingdom, revealed that she was an Elementalist.”
“???? yes?”
Just before the meeting to conclude a treaty between the Empire and the Holy Nation begins.
We were getting ready to start something.
“Oh Arell?”
“Why is that? Her Highness Princess Pena Amret Janil?”
Glancing at Pena, who was nervous for some reason, I asked as if nothing was wrong.
He was as calm as Namil.
It's because she's the only one who's burdened anyway.
I'm just pushing it from the side. It only makes things confusing.
So is this day.
“Can we really do it like this?”
“of course. Or what do you think you prepared for?”
“. Uh”
X.
But for some reason she is hesitant.
Seeing this, I sighed slightly.
Actually, I understand why.
“Don’t force anything. If you can't make it right, let's stop this. Is that okay?” do not force
Pena hesitated as if she would succumb to my suggestion, then shook her head vigorously and stood up.
“Ah Okay! You can do it.”
Still, as much as I have a sense of responsibility, there is no way I will resign just because I am really bad.
know the benefits.
“...There's no way I can say I'm quitting after I've been working like this.”
Pena looked blankly in front of me and said.
The place where we are now is the only place in Ernesia's royal castle that is open to the public.
Of course, it's not always open. Although it is only open when used for some purpose.
Speech, for example.
When we want to inform the public of a fact, we use this place as a place of communication.
Appear at a prepared place outside the castle and give a speech.
And in the plaza in front of the place where we are now, the current people have gathered and are waiting.
I have already informed them by official letter that there will be some important announcement.
For the time being, as a procedural reason, Pena suddenly asked Ernesia Royal Castle to reveal something.
The king's elder brother acknowledged her willingness to make an important decision and readily agreed to set up a space for her speech.
Since the information had already been secretly leaked, spies from different countries must have gathered in addition to the informants.
If that's true, I can't say I can't do it now.
“Haa... How did I become like this? That way, it’s just a complete spectacle.”
“I'm guessing that's what your salesperson said.”
“yes yes. I see.”
Pena gave an answer that seemed weaker than before.
As if she had finally made up her mind, she withdrew her relaxed mood after a while and put on the face she had when she went out into the world as a princess.
I also gave serious advice.
“Just be honest and say what you want to say. I'll take care of the rest.”
huh.
Immediately after she nodded, the speech was ready just in time.
“From now on, say whatever you want.”
I patted Pena on the shoulder and stepped back.
Others are watching, but it doesn't matter.
As I stepped back, my gaze was now focused only on Pena.
OK, everyone is watching.
They still don't know what Pena will talk about.
I just have something important to disclose, so please listen.
Only rumors that he had made such an appeal were spread.
“…Can you hear me?”
Pena asked cautiously as she brought the magic tool for transmitting her voice closer.
It seemed a bit awkward since it was my first time at this place.
“My name is Pena Amret Janil, the princess of the Merman Empire.”
First, he revealed his name.
Those who saw the imperial princess for the first time shone with curiosity.
She began to speak cautiously.
“Umm… I’ll believe that everyone will hear it, and I’ll talk about it.”
The atmosphere of the onlookers is a feeling of wondering what the hell they are trying to say.
Not being overpowered by that curious gaze, Pena steadfastly began to speak.
“I may be sorry for disappointing you, but the truth I am going to tell you from now on is about me. why am i here Why did I borrow this seat.... I want to say that.”
The reason Pena is here is simply studying abroad.
And those who know the situation of each country understand that they are hostages due to war.
By the way, is there an additional inner story?
Some may have such doubts.
it came
“Why do I have to say this right here? Why not do it in my homeland, the Empire? I will also tell you why.”
‘Now... it's time to show it soon.' I just keep watching.
It left my hand anyway.
I have to sit still and watch while eating snacks and carbonated ade.
While listening, her voice continues to be heard.
“First, I have something to show you.”
She held out her hand and pretended to be concentrating on something.
Then, a salamander was summoned in front of the podium.
He also summoned one more gnome.
A chattering sound was heard.
Some recognized them and let out a faint exclamation.
“This is a spirit.”
Pena revealed the identity of what she called.
The tumult grew even louder.
“That...isn't that the spirit that the spirit lord used to command?”
I heard someone say that.
“That’s right. I've seen it too!”
“That spirit was the one who fixed the bridge in our village a few weeks ago!”
“Our village chased away the monsters...
Only then did some other people begin to recognize Pena's spirits with exclamation. Not a few people have witnessed Pena's helping others using these spirits before. It must be
“for a moment! Why is Her Highness, the princess of the Merman Empire, summoning spirits?!”
And now, there are those who are astonished at the fact that Pena has summoned a spirit.
Some even record something.
Judging by the reaction, that guy is a spy.
It didn't matter because I knew how many miscellaneous things were hidden from the beginning.
“Yes, those who have seen these children will know. In the meantime, I was the one who showed you the power of the spirits while wandering around Ernesia Kingdom.”
Pena readily admitted.
“As you can see, I am a Elementalist.
Ever since I was little, I have had the ability to communicate with spirits.”
Pena confided that she was an Elementalist.
“I know. According to the doctrine of the Church of the Holy Kingdom, spirits are evil, and elemental spirits are considered to be human beings who communicate with the devil. That's why, even though I was born with the qualities of an Elementalist, I grew up under strict control even in the imperial family to hide that fact.”
Everyone hears her story.
Now she is the only officially confirmed Elementalist.
“My mother always taught me as a child to protect me: ‘Never let anyone see you summon a spirit.' Because the Empire and the Holy Kingdom are in a friendly relationship, and if my existence is known, the relationship between the two countries will be broken.”
This is a story that anyone can guess.
And the main point is now next.
“But when I was young, I didn’t understand that fact. I just played with the spirits while secretly summoning them, marveling at the skill of handling the spirits. Then, in the end, His Majesty the former emperor caught me.”
After catching my breath for a moment, I continued.
“Originally, I might have had to immediately disappear for political reasons or be dedicated to the Holy Kingdom. However, my mother advised the Emperor to save me, and in the end, as a condition of acceptance, my mother and I were confined to the imperial family.”
Everyone is still listening in silence.
“However, in a confined environment, my mother got sick and died after worrying about me until the end of the year.”
Silence fell.
I am also silently listening.
Unfortunately, the story Pena tells is true.
I have no way of knowing why the former emperor kept Pena alive.
However, it is also true that the Empire treated Pena as cold rice at that point.
It is also true that her mother, the concubine, got sick and died because of that.
“And even after that, I have lived my life hiding the fact that I am an elementalist, paying attention to the imperial family. At the time, I thought my qualities were damned. Why are you born with this talent? Why do I have to listen to the spirit's voice and live like this? I thought maybe it was really a curse.”
Her words sadly continue.
“In the meantime, due to other circumstances, I came to study abroad in the Kingdom of Ernesia. And by mistake, I let Arele Ernesia know about my qualities.”
what is said
“As a result, I'm glad I confided in him about my qualities. Because he heard about my qualities and said this.”
Pena took a break for a beat.
“Your talent is by no means ugly. I will teach you that.”
....did I say that?
Let's just say that.
Mr. Arel's remarks she claims seem to be very different from the personality of Mr. Arel I know, but let's just say that and move on.
“After that, I learned about the origin and use of true elemental magic from Arell. I also learned the pride of being a successor to a lost quality.”
.... I was embarrassed to hear it, but I endured it.
Why is she talking and me itching? why?
“And I had a question. Why did I live without being proud as a Spiritualist? Why did my mother have to worry about me and get sick? Isn't that strange?
Why?”
Now it's time to draw conclusions.
“It is because of the doctrine emphasized by the Holy Kingdom.
They insisted that the spirits were evil, so I had to live as an unhappy princess in order not to be branded as a heretic.”
She continued speaking clearly.
“Because I am a Elementalist, I know better than anyone else. Sorcery and elementalism are not very different. Spirits are infinitely good. But why is it that wizards are right and elementals aren't? Seongguk is just claiming that it is evil without proper logic. Is that the correct answer?”
Shake your head.
claim never
“I have no right to call my talents evil, nor do I have the right to make them unhappy.”
Now it is time to draw the final conclusion.
