The Emperor Who Was Chapter 93 : Chapter 93

Chapter . 93

"Crazy bastard, doesn't he even feel pain? His cheek is red, but he won't open his eyes."

A hushed voice was heard. It was Michelon. Hmph, he called

a weakling, but if he knew how strong my endurance was, he would be shocked, regret it, and retract his statent.

With the endurance I had built up since before the regression, I could surpass even a dragon.

"Wake up, please!"

Michelon pleaded so much that I forced open my eyes that wanted to sleep more. Well, since he got so angry while causing a ruckus during the experint, he must want to apologize to

for succeeding so brilliantly.

When I opened my eyes, it was dim. Is it already night? But sunlight was leaking from behind Michelon's back. It seed not much ti had passed. Since Michelon's two eyes were looking at

anxiously, I smiled brightly.

"As expected, it succeeded just as I said."

I should boast, receive an apology, and extract a promise that he'll stop getting angry during experints next ti. But why does it feel so noisy around here... Everyone must be worrying behind Michelon's back.......

"Shh, be quiet... Quickly cast soundproofing magic, invisibility magic too, and anti-detection!"

Michelon whispered urgently into my ear. Bewildered, I cast them for now. Sensing with mana, all three prevention magics were already in place, but I broke through them imdiately upon focusing.

Only then did I feel that the surroundings were strange. The corner of a room, behind curtains draped long by the window, both of us half-crumpled and hiding.......

"Where is this?"

After casting the magic, I asked, and Michelon glared at , his friend, as if he would kill .

"Roncer."

...Roncer? Did you say this is Roncer? We ca to Roncer, where I hadn't even been before the regression? ?

I gasped for breath. How... how could such a thing happen! I couldn't believe it!

"Really? We teleported all the way there? That long distance? Good heavens, did I succeed in such powerful magic? Did I achieve magic that was only theoretically possible until now for the first ti in history?"

How well did the experint go to achieve such unexpected success?

I wanted to share this glory with my Master quickly. The two of us, no, three including Michelon, should hug each other and dance. As my eyes were tearing up, Michelon glared with terrifying eyes. Let's hug excluding that guy who doesn't know the joy of magical success.

"Crazy bastard, even if you suddenly dropped into an enemy country, is it good just because the magic succeeded? Don't you dare nag

again about not being interested in politics or to care about things other than war!"

"...Isn't it Roncer?"

"It's a taphor for being in the middle of enemy territory!"

Although the process was a bit rough, lying to a mage who had just succeeded in new magic—a guy who is a friend but doesn't seem like one got angry for no reason.

"Do you still not know where this is!"

It was then.

"His Majesty the Emperor enters!"

The Royal Chamberlain's shout was heard. What is he saying?

"Cast the soundproofing magic again. Maybe because you're not fully awake, you didn't just stop our sounds from leaking out but blocked outside sounds too much. We can't hear unless it's that loud."

After doing as Michelon said and strengthening the invisibility magic, I peeked slightly through the curtain hem.

My Imperial Father was walking in. I imdiately lowered the curtain hem. So, the Emperor of Armatia... not the Emperor of Roncer.......

Of course, the Chamberlain's words weren't in Roncer language either. It really isn't Roncer. Although I didn't particularly want to go, I was willing to visit for the advancent of magic... sohow my nose stung.......

Anyway, we were in the audience chamber. Not at the teleportation magic circle in my estate, Montova Castle, but in the audience chamber of the Imperial Palace in the capital, Elan.

Succeeding in such a distance with the first teleportation magic circle drawn in a unique space is amazing, but why did we co here?

"Why did we co here? Forget that damn experint, what's the use of moving a long distance if the compass breaks and you can't find your way ho but co here instead? Do you know how terrified I was? As soon as I carried you on my back after you fainted from experinting without even eating, people sward in. Hiding behind the corner curtain without ti to leave was all I could do! My heart sank!"

The dragon barked. My head throbbed. Forcing myself to retrace my mories, I unwittingly wiped my face with my hand.

"You got the coordinates wrong, didn't you? Didn't you? Experinting while starving yourself and your friend, could it succeed? That's why it failed, the experint failed completely!"

"No."

"It failed."

"No!"

"Then what is it? How did it happen?"

"...I used the coordinates for here."

"......."

"...That pattern of light... The dragon symbol is a symbol, but it also resembles the Throne Magic Circle, so that's why it manifested that way. Since it's a magic circle applying the Throne Magic Circle... it went similarly and just......."

"Just used the coordinates for here too?"

"I didn't intend to—"

"Of course you didn't intend to. You barely succeeded in getting your own ho which you longed for and left without looking back, so how could you return on your own feet in an instant when it hasn't been long since you left ho? You're not the prodigal son returning, could that be possible?"

Michelon spoke as if soothing

with a gentle voice, but sothing was incredibly suspicious.

"Kuhahahaha! Now if you cry and beg for forgiveness in front of your dad for leaving ho, will your dad throw a feast for your safe return? Kuhahaha!"

Seeing him clutch his belly and laugh imdiately was very unsightly. He must have caught sothing bad from training with Alexander.

"What's so funny to you alone?"

"Hmph, didn't you do a lot of things that were fun only for you because you were excited alone? Even when I said let's stop, you didn't listen!"

...I never did it for fun. I only dedicated myself for the future of the country and the well-being of my friend. But since he doesn't appreciate it like that, sotis I must take a hard line.

"If you keep doing that, I'll release the invisibility magic."

"What? What if we get caught then?"

"I can just feign ignorance. But can you stand in front of people in that state?"

Although dragons originally like gold and jewels, after becoming human, they liked clothes on top of that. Is it a side effect of polymorph magic.......

"You're in the sa state, aren't you?"

"It doesn't matter to ? As you said, I don't know taste or style."

Before the regression, my attire was shabby, and there were tis when I wandered like a beggar. This much is nothing.

"You can just clean your clothes with magic!"

"Even so, these are simple clothes dressed for going to the mountains. You, who don't wear the sa clothes twice for occasions like audiences or banquets, will appear before royals and noblewon in such attire? You'll beco a man who doesn't know style, can't dress properly, and doesn't know how to groom himself like . People will rember that appearance of yours for a long, long ti."

When I returned Michelon's words exactly, Michelon glared at . I glared back at him.

Growl.

At that mont, a sound ca from Michelon's stomach. Although he has strong stamina and strength, he had to eat that much.

He ate so well that he fell into the groundless belief that I, who didn't eat like him, would soon starve to death.

"...You were really hungry. Sorry about that."

"Why doesn't your stomach even growl? Is your stomach okay? You must have an internal illness. Stop casting magic that pulls out pillars of your friend's house and experint with healing magic instead. Fix your constitution so that when you starve, your nerves focus on your stomach, not your brain, and cure your experintation disease!"

We entered a mutual glaring contest again.

"Report properly. How long has it been since Prince Leontes disappeared?"

At that mont, my Imperial Father's angry voice shattered our concentration. Michelon clicked his tongue and crossed his arms.

"Isn't your father too obsessed with you? Although you left without a word, it's not like he doesn't know where you are. There are people who t you, and your people must have told him what happened, so is there a need for this just because you wandered in the mountains for a few hours? Since his obsession is severe, it must be burdenso for you too."

"My Imperial Father isn't obsessed with , he just pretends to be—"

"It has been a week."

At the words we heard, our eyes went wide and we looked at each other.

"Really?"

"Although you fainted for a bit long, absolutely not! Could I be fine after starving for a week? You wouldn't have woken up at all!"

Michelon jumped in surprise.

"If so, perhaps in that space—"

Just as I was about to make an assumption to establish a theory to explain this riddle, a familiar voice was heard.

"I will say a word, Abamama."

At that voice, I strengthened the invisibility magic to the maximum, grabbed Michelon's hand, and while he was surprised, pulled off his diamond ring.

"What are you doing? How am I supposed to receive a kiss on the back of my hand without that? Although there's no guy who does that yet, supply is life in war!"

"Saying you need to receive a man's kiss even on the back of your hand is really funny; when did you stop mocking people's customs?"

"It's a ring I like!"

"Buy another one. I could use my ring, but diamond shows best."

"What are you trying to do?"

Instead of answering, I detached the diamond with magic, then took off my portrait ring and attached it on top.

Then I manifested the surveillance magic formula on Tess. Tess could reproduce the formula engraved on the Throne Magic Circle with the sa function, if not the sa intensity. I could increase the intensity with my mana.

When I put it inside Tess, Tess wrapped around the ring, reacting by rising and falling, then started to emit flas in earnest. Like kids playing with fire while hiding behind a curtain.

"What looked like a small tower has beco like a furnace?"

While the kid was marveling, Tess finished operating.

My portrait was engraved on the diamond of the ring revealed again. The profile of the portrait turned to face forward, and the two eyes enlarged according to my control. By adjusting the angle or magnification of the ring, I could see freely whether far or near.

Thus I created invisible eyes. Eyes so transparently beautiful that they couldn't see, but from this side, I could see everything. Magic inspired by the newly ford circle.

The invisible eyes that flew through the curtain gap soon transmitted a clear scene as if seeing directly. Although the audience chamber had various anti-spying magics as well as eavesdropping prevention, I penetrated them all, and the portrait ring prevented the mana of my new artifact from being detected.

"Do not worry, Abamama. I, the older brother, will go and bring my younger brother back safely."

The image captured by the invisible eyes was projected on the wall we were leaning against. The First Prince spoke so confidently with his chest puffed out; truly reassuring.

"Don't worry my foot, that remark itself is worrying."

Michelon, who kept acting crookedly, recited my feelings exactly.

"Your Majesty, actually this incident is my negligence."

Rhiannon also recited clearly.

"Because Prince Leontes wanted it so much, as a mother, I beca weak-hearted and bestowed the territory. How could I have thought the Prince would go missing there? My heart is truly torn. Because I failed to lead the still immature child well and drove him into danger, my sin is truly great. Even to repay this sin, I wish to send my brother and my son."

"Oh dear... indeed, Her Majesty the Empress is not without moral responsibility......."

"That is correct. It is questionable whether she didn't consider the disappearance itself at all when bestowing that dangerous mountain as a territory. If she had kept such a possibility in mind, it wouldn't end with moral responsibility."

"Isn't sending the Lauderdale people also to prepare for the case that Prince Leontes is alive? I an, so they can rescue him if the Prince is alive. My words have no other aning."
