Acting as a Slit-Eye Chapter 252

Chapter 252. Hoping to Get Closer (1)

How would one feel if told that the future of their beloved country rested in their hands?

So might feel a surge of patriotism.

Others might be overwheld by the burden.

I believe most people would consider one of these two possibilities.

When I heard from Kaldrach that the "fate of the Empire" depended on , my imdiate thought was:

"...... It's not my country, you crazy bastard."

My mind had started to align surprisingly well with 'Yulian'.

Seeing bizarre artworks, I could now critique them, and waking up each morning to see the pink coat, I could even smile with satisfaction.

Yet, I still couldn't consider the "Adratan Empire" as my country.

Probably because...

"Yulian doesn't have much patriotism either."

In such a situation, when soone brings up the cumberso notion of the 'Empire's fate', what do you think would go through my mind?

"Ugh."

Regardless, while it's one thing to harbor such blasphemous thoughts, I knew better than to voice them aloud.

Suppressing a cough internally, I organized my thoughts and t Kaldrach's gaze.

"Prince Kaldrach, I am not soone burdened with such a mission. You must be overestimating ."

"Haha."

Kaldrach laughed.

"Indeed, it's natural for one to speak that way when told the fate of the Empire rests with them."

As if reading my mind, Kaldrach elaborated.

"Anyone claiming their hands hold the future of the nation is either a madman or a dictator."

Co to think of it, my father was both.

Such a self-mumble ca from Kaldrach, but I pretended not to hear it.

"Yeah, you're right."

Speaking those words, one might risk Kaldrach taking offense and sending

to the guillotine.

No matter how detached he might be due to his 'regression', he could still get riled up.

"But, having said that, it makes you even more trustworthy."

Why though?

I wanted to say that but barely held back.

"As you know, the Dawn Society is fundantally a group that worships the Demon God."

Continuing, Kaldrach seed well-acquainted with the essence of the 'Dawn Society'.

It stirred a sense of nostalgia.

Soone who speaks about the essence of the "Dawn Society" despite never being part of it.

It was certainly fascinating.

"Tenelon, who was the Archbishop, held a status unfitting of his capacity, thanks to the unique trait of being chosen by the Demon God's Chalice."

Even Kaldrach seed unaware that Tenelon later inherited the status of 'Archbishop', sothing that occurred in the later parts of the narrative he hadn't reached in his 'regression'.

"The Dawn Society was always unstable. Constantly under the imperial family's watch, mbers were repeatedly purged."

The Dawn Society's objective was to gather 'Soul Stones', to craft them into the Demon God's Chalice, closely akin to creating the "Demon God's" physical vessel.

To pursue this goal invariably led to conflicts with the imperial family, hence the Dawn Society had nurous spies within the 'Imperial Family'.

"But officially, only Tenelon, the leader of the 'Dawn Society', has perished this ti. It implies the rest remain intact."

Upon hearing Abisha say from afar that "the task is done
