Margrave’s Bastard Son was The Emperor Chapter 127

Episode 127. hidden oracle

“Arsene.”

After moving the emperor to the bedroom, Delaina took a breath and looked down at her son. Unlike usual, the stern look in his eyes was unusual. But Arsene just rolled his eyes and smiled.

“yes. mother.”

“What was that thoughtless act from earlier?”

“Are you very angry?”

He told her not to even make a sound when Marib and Gail were around, but not only did he not dare to step forward, he even asked Viscount Ian Hiello to show him his magical powers. If the other children of the royal family hadn’t been there, wouldn’t it have been a very difficult situation?

“Arsene. “Your mother doesn’t even know if she really knows you.”

“sorry. But you also saw your mother earlier, right? How beautiful is Sir Ian’s magic. “You have to be able to endure it because you can see it up close.”

Arsene smiled charmingly and rubbed his face into his mother’s arm. She was Delaina, who had vowed to scold him harshly, but she was always crushed when Arsene showed up like this.

‘ha.’

My fingers were sore from the moment I received the oracle. Because she was born with misfortune, she was always kept by her side when she was a baby. Perhaps because of that, Arsene did not have a hard time with his mother, Delaina, and the same was true for the aging and weak emperor.

Click.

“Delaina. “Prince Jin, you are welcome.”

Delaina sighed and looked back at the servant’s message. Jin proudly walks inside and his posture is correct as always. The exact opposite of Arsene, who was sprawled out on the sofa.

‘If it weren’t for the trust… … .’

Delaina bit her lower lip and barely managed to utter words of encouragement.

“jin. “You had a hard time today.”

“No, mother. “My mother had a hard time preparing for the New Year’s party.”

Jin took off his gloves and placed them on the corner of the table. It was a capture to announce that today’s official schedule was all over. Arsene crunched her candy as if it was fun and looked back and forth between her mother and Jean.

“And Jean. Please tell your brother Arsene again. What we mean to Marib and Gayle. I was really nervous earlier. “My mother can’t live up to her expulsion.”

Delaina lightly hugged Jin and lamented. How can two brothers born from the same litter be so different? If Arsene had even half of Jin’s personality, I don’t think there would be anything to worry about.

smart.

“Delaina. “His Majesty the Emperor is calling for a moment.”

“Your Majesty? okay. “I’ll go soon.”

At the servant’s call, Delaina adjusted her dress and left the parlor.

As the door closed, the only sound was the quiet sound of the clock ticking in the night. Arsene rested her chin and narrowed her eyes at Jin.

“Brother. “Are you going to nag me like your mother said?”

Jin just stares at Arsene. Unable to overcome the brief silence, Arsene tiptoed his toes and muttered gruffly.

“there is no answer. “Why don’t you want to talk to me?”

“It’s not like that. “Arsene, you know very well that you were wrong this time.”

Was the 3rd prince’s fall really an accident? Jin knows well. The reason the 3rd prince faced death was because his gaze met Mariv and Gale directly.

“It’s only a matter of time before our older brothers take care of us when we’re young.”

As Jin spoke cautiously, Arsene’s expression showed blatant irritation. The child rested his chin and looked at Jin with innocent eyes.

“It may be thanks to my father, who is the emperor, but my mother has told me over and over again that we are enjoying such a luxurious life entirely because Her Majesty Mariv and Her Majesty Gale do not care about us.”

Arsene jumped up and stuck his head close to Jin. Just as she did with her mother, the child buried her head in the crook of her sister’s neck and mumbled softly.

“jin. You have to speak straight. “It’s not because we’re young, it’s because of the trust.”

In addition to the publicly known oracle that ‘the last born will harm the first born’, there was one more hidden thing.

“And if one of the brothers who is closest to the throne dies, the royal family line is completely cut off.”

Arsene spoke proudly, as if it were a magic spell that protected him. Jin just stared at his older brother. Although he did not specify which of his brothers it was, everyone assumed it was Arsene.

‘The younger brother will harm the older brother, and then the royal family will be cut off.’

Jin barely answered with his teeth as if retorting.

“Arsene. “Oracles are not always right.”

“But it’s not always wrong.”

The sweet smell of candy came from the brother who came closer. Arsene repeatedly rubbed his head against Jin, and Jin patted his older brother like always.

“jin. “I really like you.”

“… me too.”

The oracles related to the imperial family were known only to a very small number of people. Delaina, the emperor and several princes.

‘How can I hurt you?’

Jin had no intention of doing that at all, but he felt suffocated every time everyone around him treated him like that. Even though he didn’t do anything, doesn’t it seem like he’s already a criminal?

“jin. So, don’t kill me.”

“I told you not to joke like that.”

“Ahaha. I get it, I get it.”

Arsene laughed and picked up the candy again and ate it, and Jin naturally took the gloves off his brother’s hands. Today, the day felt particularly long.

Ian returned to the banquet hall on the second floor and faced Gail, who had been waiting for him. Perhaps because he continued to drink wine, his face was flushed. Most of the royal family had already moved to the first floor to socialize with the nobles, and they were the only ones left.

“Ian, is your father okay?”

“That’s right.”

“Hmm. okay?”

Ian sat across from Gail and studied him. My father was being carried away coughing, and I wondered how he was motionless. Gale seemed to have noticed that gaze and just shrugged his shoulders with a smile.

“It’s been a while since my father was like that. Even when you sleep, you often start to feel out of breath, but wake up fine the next day. I’ve been surprised more than once, so I’m more suspicious of Mariv. Why are you making such a fuss? “As if my father was going to die this time.”

“No matter how much you get used to it, worries don’t go away easily.”

At least, I heard that the Emperor cares more about Gale than Mariv. She was the Empress’s daughter, and she seemed to respect that, but behind the scenes, she said she had more affection for Gale.

‘Then isn’t it the power given to you? If the emperor dies, Gale will be sad, but how can he be so carefree, Won?’

Ian just clicked his tongue and lowered his head. I had a rough guess as to what Gale’s intention was in asking him to stay.

“It’s the magic power confirmation ceremony earlier.”

“yes. Lowering.”

“I was truly impressed. “Have you ever seen a wizard on the border?”

Gail knew that Wesley had manipulated the magic circle. Even though I knew this, Ian showed off the light of trust so perfectly, so the conclusion is one of two things.

‘Either Wesley made a mistake, or Ian fixed the magic circle.’

Although Wesley had a fiery personality, she was a perfect woman who was unrivaled when it came to magic. Even if she didn’t have Ian, she would have carried out everything without a hitch due to the nature of the large event called the New Year’s party.

“doesn’t exist. There are many people on the frontier who have never even heard of magic. “I have seen gypsies and similar people, but I have never seen a wizard.”

“okay? “So, did the blood on the floor come from Sir Ian?”

I think I found a trace where Beric’s blood was rubbed. Since he erased the crystal part of the magic circle exactly, he assumed that Ian had done it. If not… … .

‘If not, there are forces within the Ministry of Magic who are helping Ian.’

“no. “I have never shed blood.”

Ian answered, looking down at his palm slyly. If you do a blood stain test, you will be able to confirm that the blood is Ian’s blood.

“okay?”

“yes. “I think there was a problem with the magic circle, but I’m really glad that the ceremony ended safely.”

Gail looked at Ian’s hands thoroughly, but there certainly didn’t seem to be any wounds. Ian, smiling brightly, thought to himself.

‘I have to hurry and take Beric home. It would be difficult to look all the way to Beric.’

“What do you think about what I suggested last time?”

“Do you mean becoming a true part of the Ministry of Magic?”

Gail silently confirmed Ian’s words. A strange atmosphere in which the pleasant noise coming from below trickles in little by little. Maybe it was because he was drunk, but Gale’s speaking style felt more direct than usual.

“I am honored. Of course I will.”

“okay? How will we prove it?”

Gale twisted his mouth as if he was having fun.

“Are you going to at least twist the owner’s neck?”

“Lowering. “I’m sorry, but there are many ears at the banquet hall.”

“But words here don’t leak out.”

The magical power I felt coming up the stairs. It seemed like it was not just a shield, but it also prevented leaks of secrets. This is all being done under the leadership of Wesley, who is in charge of magic, so it will be safe in terms of secrecy as Gale intended.

“… If you wish, I will prove it. but-”

Ian responded, carefully meeting Gail’s gaze. Should I try it? Since you’re drunk, wouldn’t it be okay to drink a little bit?

“I want you to prove it to me too. “That is the right path for me.”

Gale’s eyes narrowed, and then he burst into laughter. It was clear she was pleasantly drunk. For some unknown reason, Ian’s magic power confirmation ceremony was successful, but if he said he would become a true wizard, it was actually a green light to Gale.

“okay. good night. However, the order should be clear. “You prove it first.”

The moment Ian lowered his head, a shout of approval was heard from behind.

“Oh, there.”

It was Roman Dro. He watched His Majesty leave, but when Ian did not return, he became worried and came up. They were blocked by the knight’s scabbard and could not enter, but they were able to find each other.

“excuse me. “I have something to tell Viscount Ian Halo.”

“Romandro! Oh, Romanro!”

“Oh, oh, long time no see. “Your name is Gail.”

“okay. It was really hard to change. I was impressed. “Wouldn’t you like to go this way?”

It was clear on his face that he had made a mistake. Romandro was Marib’s subordinate who completely disrupted Gael’s work on the border.

“Thank you for your words, but I have something urgent to say to Viscount Ian Hiello.”

“Didn’t you take Ian away from the first floor earlier?”

How could you hear everything? Ian looked back at Gail, slightly surprised.

“The knight that Sir Ian brought, no, the knight… … .”

Berwick? Ian unconsciously felt a pain in the back of his head. He stood up and gave a polite greeting to Gale.

“Excuse me, Your Majesty the Prince. This is because the driver came from a remote area and is not used to this type of position. I am concerned that I might make a mistake and ruin the atmosphere of the New Year’s party. Please allow me to leave now.”

Gale clicked his tongue and picked up his wine glass again. It meant permission. Ian bowed his head and then ran down the hallway, following Roman Dro.

“Romandro. Why Beric? Is there a problem?”

“No, there is nothing to be surprised about. “It’s true that I went to pick you up.”

“Shh. Here, every word goes to His Majesty Gale.”

“Oh my god, damn it. “Well, that’s half true!”

Romandro covered his mouth and was horrified. The banquet hall garden we saw earlier. Beric was squatting in a corner of the grass and digging the ground.

Pow! Pow!

“Uhehe. Uhehe.”

“Berrick, you got that right. Let’s stop this before we continue digging. “Let’s go home.”

“Oh! Ian! Ian!”

Ian touched his forehead, feeling his tension melt away. Then, while holding Beric’s fingertips, he looked around him. The wound was obscured by dirt and was hard to see.

“okay. “Now let’s go home.”

“Oops! let’s go! “There’s only alcohol here and no meat!”

“It’s noisy, you bastard! “I ate everything!”

Saying that this was enough, Ian left behind the noisy atmosphere of the New Year’s party and dragged Beric away. I don’t know if I’ll be caught in Gale’s hands at any moment.

‘Then it will be irreversibly painful.’

Romandro also hurriedly cleared the dug tunnel with his feet and ran after Ian.
