Reincarnated as an Emperor ~ Will the Emperor at Birth Survive? Chapter 58: Ain’s Storyteller

That his child was to be kept a secret for 200 years and told only to those who needed to know after the 200 years are over.

I stopped thinking for a few seconds when I heard those words.

The Holy One scriptures state that he was celibate all his life and had no children, so his followers inherited his teachings and beca divided because of their differing interpretations.

You lie.

The Holy One religion would be turned upside down if what he was saying was the truth.

Oh, I see. Ain didnt want that to happen.

He didnt want his descendants to be taken advantage of, so he set a period of 200 years. If the sects managed to build a stable foundation, then they would just treat this information as a hoax. Did he see that the repercussions would be small?

Wait, then why did Daniel tell this? Is he implying that I am one of the few people who need to know this information? Because Im the Emperor? Or because Im soone who should have been told this long ago?

A reincarnated person. Those who entrust the world to a reincarnated person. Information that is handed down through Ains descendants. Ain Im sure that ans 1.

Daniel de Pierce.

Daniel is fine, Your Majesty. What is it?

What is the na of Ains child?

Of course, it was Zwei.

That na ans 2. I knew it.

So that was why Ain entrusted his child to the storyteller. You storytellers would do your best to protect them since you see hope in the reincarnated.

So

His child was a reincarnator as well, wasnt he?

Yes, we believe he was. We hypothesised that a reincarnated person will be born among Ains descendants. Not all of Ains descendants are reincarnators, but if we protect the descendants of Ain, then we will gain the possibility of having many reincarnators being born. That was our conclusion and it has been proven correct so far.

Reincarnators are born to Ains descendants, so

I have Ains blood in , thats why I am one of the few people who need to know.

That butler guy is also a reincarnator, which ans he is a descendant of Ain and is connected to Ains storytellers.

Even we did not expect that his blood would enter the emperors bloodline so soon, or that the first child born would be a reincarnator.

Which ans. I got it from my maternal grandmother?

Yes. The deceased wife of the present Lord Aquicurl, Maria-sama, is one of Ains descendants.

He told shocking facts one after the other. You know, Im in the middle of preparing for a coup though.

I glanced at Daniel and saw that he had knelt down without making a sound and was bowing his head.

Your Majesty. We, Ains Storytellers, would like to devote ourselves to you, the reincarnator. We need neither rit nor reward. We only ask two things of you.

Two things? I can guess what one of those things are, but well, alright.

Tell .

I would like to ask you to spare the descendants of Ain as much as possible after the coming civil war.

I knew it. They wanted to have as many chances as they could to have a reincarnator in this world, so theyre asking to spare Ains descendants.

So, you want to forgive Lord Aquicurls family?

Not all. There are so who cannot be forgiven, but I would be grateful if you spared those who surrender to you, Your Majesty.

Id really like to get rid of them all but I guess Ill spare them if this man will be on my side in exchange.

Youll have to look after them then, and I cant make any guarantees since nothing has happened yet but Ill keep that in mind.

Thank you very much.

But are they worth protecting? A reincarnator may know the future, but they could misuse their knowledge.

They could misuse their knowledge of another world to fulfil their selfish wishes. A person like that will definitely be reincarnated here.

Yes, we understand the danger. Therefore, our role is to protect and monitor.

So, Im one of the people theyre monitoring. Im used to being monitored.

And the thing we want to avoid the most is stagnation. We will overlook a certain amount of misuse if it brings about change. Our race is dying because we are being subrged by a swamp called stagnation.

Our race?

I asked and Daniel took off his hat.

He had long, pointed ears.

Youre an elf?

I am.

Elf This word and his features closely resembled the elves who were described in the fairy-tales of my previous life. Ive never seen them before in this world but everyone here knows what they look like.

According to the legend, Ain and his followers saved the wise, beautiful and long-lived race (the elves) and persecuted the short and quick-tempered barbarians (the dwarfs) on the Central Continent. This topic was often spoken about in the boring sermons given by the Western Sect.

Co to think of it, this wasnt in the original text.

Ain was certainly persecuted, but he thought that deeply rooted discrimination would be born if you complint or criticise certain races, so he told his followers not to hold any grudges and strictly ordered them not to write or docunt anything down. But there were many followers who were persecuted along with Ain, so their writings have been left behind in every sect.

I used to see Ain as just the founder of the Holy One religion but I respect him now that Ive heard this. Maybe because I was told that he was my ancestor but I think hes a great predecessor as a reincarnated person.

But elves and dwarfs arent supposed to live in the Eastern Continent.

Which ans The elves not only helped Ain in the Central Continent but on the Eastern Continent too. And with their long lives

Unfortunately, the elves are not as long-lived as you believe, Your Majesty. Therefore, it was not I who started the Ain Storytellers, but my father.

Hmm. I thought Daniel had t Ain in person.

The room seed to be descending slowly. There may still be ti for questions.

Why didnt you know that I was a reincarnated person until I ca into contact with another reincarnated person on my first tour even though you had considered the possibility of being one? And why didnt you contact after that?

You should understand, Your Majesty. It took many years to infiltrate the Western Church. All of our efforts would be for naught if the Guardian of Lothar were to beco our enemy.

I thought of Count Palatine Vedett who had been by my side earlier. So, he was the reason why Daniel didnt contact .
