How to Live as a Tyrant’s Spoiled Brat Chapter 321

(321)

In the middle of a meadow a little way from the valley, the most noble twins in the empire gathered.

“Your Majesty, my lord Valencianus, I have returned from the East.”

Duke Valencian bowed his head.

Jaylilith smiled brightly without realizing it.

“It’s been a long time. You came back earlier than I expected. I thought you would come around fall.”

She admitted that she felt welcomed.

'Nice to meet you, my other half.'

Those words sounded a little different to Valencian.

'I thought you'd come around fall, Ra. Jaylilith is personally closing the demonic realm and strengthening her imperial authority. That means if I come back already, it'll be a nuisance. Where should I go…?'

A cold sweat ran down my face.

He changed the subject urgently.

“Actually, I thought I should stop by the Instrumentum once…….”

At that moment, the Holy Emperor raised his eyebrows as if he was not pleased.

“I have decided to stay by Your Majesty’s side.”

'Is this right?'

The Duke of Mangnani spoke anxiously, and fortunately the Holy Emperor smiled in satisfaction.

“Yes. I have thought well, Your Highness. Stay where I can see you.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Valencian looked at that smile and thought.

'You are beautiful.'

at the same time.

'I warned them not to increase their power by meeting with the great lords, and I warned them indirectly not to do so. Don't worry. That won't happen.'

Jaylilith asked, thinking that Valencian seemed to be under some strange illusion.

“……So what are you talking about, Elf? Do they ever come out of the autonomous district in the first place?”

Valencian began his boring but necessary report.

“The Duke of Cariosa has successfully conquered the Anchor Archipelago. He plans to proclaim himself king after completing the construction of coastal forts and the migration project.”

“I see.”

“During the conquest, I met an elf and a mermaid. According to the elf, the autonomous region suffered great damage due to the magic realm and was looking for a new land. The mermaid seemed to be plotting an unholy plot.”

The emperor closed his eyes tightly for a moment.

“Wait, wait, it’s hard to follow.”

“I'm sorry.”

“I’ve learned a lot since becoming Emperor, but I can’t just say ‘okay’ when I hear that fairy tale monsters are planning to attack me.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Speak a little slower. Don’t you have a lot of time and coffee? Let’s sit over there.”

There was a stone just the right size to use as a bench.

The Holy Emperor stirred up a wind and swept away the dust that had accumulated on the stone, while the Grand Duke took a handkerchief out of his uniform pocket and spread it out.

The two counts and the clergy were horrified to see the Emperor and the Archduke sitting on the stone, and some knights and soldiers offered themselves as human chairs, but the two men waved them away.

'Jaylilith… … seems to want to hear my story. Is that right?'

Valencian began to report as if telling a story.

* * *

“So, Lord Tentia has an assassin named Saya Yen…….”

“Tartira, the fallen noble of the East, was brought in to become the Imperial Admiral…….”

“The Duke of Cariosa has laid siege to the Anchor Archipelago…….”

His guess was correct.

“I am Saya Yan, the assassin of the East. I wonder who will be stronger when I meet Cesar’s assassins.”

“You have a magical tool that can walk on water? Hurry up and mass-produce it. I command you to supply it to the imperial family first. I will pay you a good price.”

“Yes. So that White Shark becomes the king in the end. I didn’t know she would reveal you like that. I should have kept at least one royal family member who resembles you alive, but you never know the future.”

Jaylilis listened to his story, sometimes laughing, sometimes sighing.

“That’s funny. Do more. Drunk without alcohol, huh? Count. Thank you.”

After a nice glass of wine, Valencian momentarily forgot what he had originally intended to talk about.

He talked about the East for a while, and then came to his senses and started talking about foreign races.

“Before I went east, I introduced my maid Rudi into high society. I had her watch over suspicious movements among the nobles of the capital’s court. I wanted to be on the lookout for any activity by the encroaching forces…….”

“You became close to a count who sold a lot of suspicious magic tools, and while investigating the merchant who supplied the items, you were suddenly attacked by elves?”

“That’s right.”

Jaylilith stuck out her tongue.

“Then what happened to the count?”

This time it was Valencian's turn to stick out his tongue.

“……I really didn’t know anything. I ended up just paying a fine for my ignorance.”

"under."

“It is said that the rumor has spread that this magic tool was actually received from an elf, and the auction house is becoming more crowded by the day.”

“It’s so annoying. I want to pay taxes.”

“I have donated a huge amount of money to the church, the royal family, and the victims who were involved. I have already paid the price for my ignorance, so please do not punish me any further.”

“If you say so, then I understand.”

Jaylilith lit a fire slightly.

“So was the tracking successful?”

Valencian bowed down so that his head touched the ground.

“The Black Iron Knights, the Silver Knights, and the Warlocks of the Imperial Magic Workshop searched the area, but they were unable to find her. I also ordered Saya Yan to do the same.”

"hmm."

“It’s been a long time since the high-ranking spirit master disappeared, so everyone feels unfamiliar with his abilities.”

Jaylilith nodded.

A strange light appeared in her eyes for a moment.

“The timing is really coincidental.”

Valencian nodded.

He was thinking the same thing.

“Both the elves who seek new lands and the elves who seek to reclaim old lands have come out. This means that the silent alien race is thinking of making a move.”

The Holy Emperor frowned nervously.

“If they were smart enough, they would know the state of affairs in the Empire. Now that the East has stabilized, I will turn my attention to the Southern Continent, and you will pursue and restrain the Encroacher Cult.”

With each word Valencian spoke, he felt his vague anxiety becoming concrete.

“Yes. While I hold out, I will strike down the roots of those who are evil, and with the collapse of the Southern Continent, the forces of the invaders will disintegrate. In the end, that religious order will also receive considerable support from the lords of the Southern Continent.”

“That is indeed so.”

He knew a lot, and he was afraid.

“In other words, all of the Empire’s administrative power and military power will be poured into the South and the invaders, and during that time, there will be no room to restrain the foreign races. And they will know it.”

“Do you think the invaders and the aliens are joining hands?”

The Holy Emperor asked.

The Duke of Mangnani answered very cautiously, unlike the rumors.

'Even elves hate erosion. The two didn't really hold hands before the return.'

The red lips twitched for a moment, then slowly opened.

“There may not be any separate consultations, but… they have a common enemy. And that enemy is our empire.”

The morning sun rose and illuminated the world.

The Holy Emperor muttered listlessly and dejectedly, bathed in the light.

“I hate to say this, but the world is a cruel place. It seems to throw too many trials at us.”

“Yes. So send an envoy…….”

Valencianus tried to discuss countermeasures.

“I must also give the world a trial. I must finish what the first ancestor of a thousand years ago was unable to finish. It wouldn’t be bad to change from being the ruler of five races to the ruler of one race.”

Jaylilith spoke of a policy of extermination.

Her golden eyes blazed like the sun in the sky.

* * *

“Your Majesty, please hold on tight! Nothing has happened yet.”

I desperately tried to stop Jaylilith.

I hate meteors anymore.

Jaylilith tried to get up, shaking me off.

"100 million!"

I was pushed around like a paper doll, and she was startled and grabbed me again.

“The elves have already entered the capital and are causing chaos, so how is nothing happening?”

“The eroders, the eroders and the Southern Continent come first.”

“Then how do you plan to deal with other races?”

She asked as if she was trying to shut me up.

But I was a regressor, and I had my own answer to the inter-species problem.

“Please split it.”

“Cutting? What does that mean?”

She tilted her head.

I began to tell my story, biting my lips slightly in nervousness.

“First, restrain the Southern Continent through the mermaids, the Southern Fishmen, and the Red Admiral.”

Jaylilith frowned.

“Yes. The enemy admiral is still doing his job well. Not long ago, he sent a sacrifice from the southern continent that he had plundered with his private fleet. But when and how are you going to find the mermaids and fishmen, and how are you going to talk to those monsters?”

I felt my heart pounding as if it was going to burst.

“Please don’t ask where I heard it.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Jaylilith nodded willingly.

“Isn’t the Red Admiral the Mermaid Princess? The princess who has continued the thousand-year contract in place of the sleeping king.”

“How could you…….”

As soon as he heard me, his face hardened.

An unusual surprise flashed across the languid face of the Holy Emperor.

It was a sight I never wanted to forget.

I wanted to draw a portrait secretly.

That was for a moment, and she clicked her tongue once and continued speaking listlessly.

“Yes. I just said I wouldn’t ask. I’ll assume the South is holding it back like that. Just keep talking.”

I continued speaking fluently, doubting whether I could say this so easily.

“Now all that’s left are the elves, the beastmen, the dwarves, and the encroachers. However, the dwarves are a race that does not get along well with the encroachers and are a noble and stubborn race, so there is no need to worry while the empire fights the encroachers.”

“I guess you could say that.”

“The elves have already realized the danger, so let’s come up with countermeasures. Your Majesty is the strongest person on this planet, so the enemy that threatens you is not an unknown enemy, but a strong enemy.”

Jaylilith bit her lower lip as if she didn't like something.

“It’s not just that I’m safe. It’s that I, and you, and my subjects, and the Empire, are all taken into consideration.”

For some reason, the accent on 'you' was strong, but I let it go for now.

Because she had an expression on her face that said something like she was going to pull out her teeth.

“Then the ones left are Suin, and in fact, they are the most dangerous.”

“I thought so too. Before they mutate, they can’t be distinguished by their appearance, right? Of course, some species can be identified by their silver, etc… but the limitations are obvious.”

“They also have a very simple solution. It only requires a little bit of gold.”

Jaylilith raised an eyebrow.

"goldfinch?"

* * *

“So you’re saying that this race didn’t go extinct a thousand years ago, but that they still exist somewhere and are targeting the empire again?”

In an eight-story stone building in an old slum, I sat down with Cornell and told him a long story.

I sat back comfortably on the sofa, Cornell leaned forward as if he was going to rush towards me, and Cornell's escort boy's eyes opened wide like a king's bell.

"okay."

It seemed like a face I had seen somewhere before. It was the boy who had been digging up the existence of the Encroachers during the loyalty oath period.

The name would have been… …Di.

It was nice to see a more mature appearance.

"Cornell said, his face twisted into a greedy squirrel-like grimace.

“Your Highness, this is truly an impertinent remark. What kind of nonsense is that?”

This was the difference in perception between the commoners who were close to pure human beings and the mixed-blood nobles of different races.

To us, this species is a world that is relatively close to us, but to them, this species is a monster straight out of a fairy tale.

So I didn't even expect her to understand right away, and just continued to say what I had to say.

“Amon is the warrior god.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“At the same time, he is also the guardian deity of the wolf tribe.”

As expected of a quick-witted girl, Cornell frowned.

“Are you saying that you will fight with hundreds of people?”

“That's correct.”

“Then I guess my vigilante group should be more active?”

I smiled and seduced her.

“That’s right. How about taking this opportunity to properly fulfill your role as a cult leader, no, as a pope?”

Cornell shook his head, half sobbing.

“No! I don’t like it! Even now, they are being attacked so much as heretics! Those fu*king sons of bitches!”

I held up three fingers.

“I will anonymously donate three thousand gold coins to the church. Use it however you wish.”

* * *

“Did you hear that they’re building a new temple in the new city?”

“A heretical temple? This is the end of the world.”

“No. It is not a rebellion against the light, but a training to have a healthy mind and body.”

“I felt like I should pray harder and live a healthy life to devote myself to the light. I went there and it was pretty good.”
