38 – Do as You Like (5)

Emperor, Richard opened his mouth.

“You told Jim. It wouldn’t be long.”

Are you talking about the grandmaster?

If that’s the case,

It certainly won’t take long.

“I think ten years will be enough.”

‘Actually, five years is enough.’

It’s a level I’ve already stepped on,

You might be able to climb faster if you hunt for traits.

‘But it’s more comfortable to inflate it to some extent.’

At my answer, the eyes of all the nobles around me widened as if they would pop out at any moment.

ten years?

Barely, ten years?

A look of disbelief.

An annoyed gaze.

Even the knights clenching their fists as if they were angry.

However, the grandmaster, Duke Kaisel, did not raise any objection.

The man’s indifferent reaction drove the nobles into a crucible of shock.

Duke Kaisel they know,

Because he wasn’t a great person to just pass over such an arrogant line.

Nevertheless, it is said that it is acknowledged to some extent that it is still.

In fact, the nobles couldn’t bear to go first.

“Then, will I be able to give you a better present after ten years?”

“It will be. I will definitely become a grandmaster.”

“He picks out the words he likes the most. Yes, he said ten years.”

The Emperor had a pleasant smile on his face.

“Write the scribe.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The scribes sitting diagonally from the ministers answered loudly.

His hands are full of energy, as if he won’t miss the emperor’s words.

I squeezed so hard that I could clearly see the tendons protruding from the back of my hand.

“It’s not a direct reward for you, is it?”

the emperor orders

“For the family of the Duke of Roelheim who have discovered talented people, we will cut taxes in half for the next ten years.”

“Lung, Your Majesty…!”

“That doesn’t work!!”

“Your Majesty! Please reconsider!”

The ministers, who had been silently lowering their heads, jumped to their feet.

It is nonsense.

The most famous nobleman in the empire, duke.

The fact that there are only three families in the vast empire is in line with the saying that the prestige is great.

Among them, the most historic family is the family of the Duke of Roelheim.

How many businesses do you have?

How many people do you belong to?

You don’t collect half of the tax on such a ducal family?

ten years?

How much does the ducal family earn in a year?

There is no way the emperor would not know that the duke’s family earns hundreds or tens of millions of gold a year.

In terms of silver, the main currency of the common people, out of hundreds of millions of dollars of income,

Tens of millions of silver coins can be appropriated to the national treasury even if only 10 percent of the tax is removed.

Are you giving up that money?

Instead of protesting that this was a hasty decision,

When the emperor raises his hand, the yongpo flutters obliquely according to his graceful hand movement.

At the same time, the ministers’ mouths closed like lies.

overwhelming the surroundings,

Charisma who completely dominated this large space.

Willingness not to receive counterarguments while speaking.

The Emperor’s words were not over yet.

“At least this alone won’t convey Jim’s sincerity enough.”

I listened to his voice as I looked at the golden dragon embroidered clothes.

“I hear you’re getting along with my daughter these days.”

“Uh… not wrong, but…”

I don’t know if we’re close, but we get along well compared to when we first met.

Towards me who speaks bewilderedly,

Emperor Richard asked in a coy tone.

“How about my daughter?”

“……Yes?”

“Lung, Your Majesty…!”

The five princes hardened like stone statues.

After that, Princess Laura’s panicked voice echoed through the air.

No, I was expecting something to give, but why did Princess Laura suddenly appear?

“It’s a joke.”

At that word, the expression of the princes who had been hardened slightly relaxed.

I see you reacting so sensitively.

It seems that Princess Laura was worried that she could get the same power as me.

Well, even if you’re like me, you’ll be pissed off.

The five of us would be dying to compete, but if you think that the princess is added to that… … . Well.

“Obviously I was joking, but I want you to know that my earlier offer was only half sincere.”

“Uh… I’m worried, I’ll try.”

“What I am saying from now on is not a joke.”

Let’s scratch our heads and answer

The emperor continued with a satisfied voice.

“I will open the emperor’s warehouse for the young swordsman who will lead the future of the empire, and lend one of the royal treasures for ten years.”

Did I hear right now?

An imperial treasure?

really?

“If, after ten years, you have reached the level of a grandmaster.”

The emperor’s gaze swept over all of Daejeon.

“I will permanently recognize its ownership.”

“your majesty!!”

“That much please…!”

Ministers who almost cried.

They weren’t the only ones whose complexion turned blue.

The nobles who listened to the emperor were doubting their ears to see if they had heard them correctly.

“Imperial treasure?”

“Didn’t His Excellency Kaisel receive it when he ascended to the position of superman…?”

“Even for a 20-year-old sword master, this is a hasty decision…”

I was surprised too.

It’s an imperial treasure.

“Are you referring to the treasure of the imperial family, which is said to be full of ancient artifacts?”

“Yes.”

The emperor affirms that he did not say anything wrong.

I thought it would be nice to have a good sword.

I never thought an opportunity like this would come.

It’s not a strange warehouse, it’s the emperor’s warehouse.

It is a secret place that only one emperor of the empire can open,

A warehouse where all the legendary weapons that have appeared in the history of the empire for over 500 years have been gathered.

The material that frequently appears in fairy tales and novels circulating in the empire is the treasure of the imperial family.

Is there anyone among the people of the empire who does not know the royal treasure?

When he asked what his daughter was like, he thought that the emperor had gone out of his mind.

‘But it’s a treasure in the Emperor’s warehouse.’

Tax reduction was a reward that was hard for me to feel right now, but

Receiving the royal treasure that only the emperor could give had a different meaning.

So I asked with surprised eyes.

“Isn’t that a lie?”

“Of course not. But don’t get me wrong. I just said I’d rent your luggage for ten years.”

“To that, he added that if I became a grandmaster within ten years, he would grant me permanent ownership.”

“That’s correct. Jim’s promise to you won’t be mixed with even an inch of lies.”

hey

I didn’t know it would grow this big.

“You’re hot.”

The only superman in the empire,

It is said that Duke Kaisel also received it when he became a grandmaster.

The meaning of receiving it for me, who is still a sword master, must be more special than I thought.

‘Thanks to that, I got a good sword.’

It was a pity that the sword I used in my days as an Awakener had disappeared.

I’m holding on somehow with the double-edged sword Catherine gave me, but

Still, having a proper sword would definitely make things easier.

It’s because you have to gather all the weak strength you have to deal with that crazy saintess.

“Then I’ll be grateful. This is enough of a present…”

“What are you talking about? Jim hasn’t shown enough sincerity yet.”

The emperor shook his head.

“I haven’t given you what you need most yet.”

What do I need most?

I don’t know either.

What did I need right now?

“Granting immunity to Leon the butler for the next ten years,”

As if to clear my doubts,

The emperor spoke without delay.

“That right shall be secured in the name of me, Emperor Richard Brune Rothenburg.”

At the emperor’s declaration of a bomb, the imperial palace fell silent.

VIPs looking at us with eyes that can no longer grow.

The knights were opening their mouths as one.

It’s an indemnity.

“This was unexpected.”

why didn’t i think of this

To me who refused the title of nobility,

Isn’t immunity more valuable than the emperor’s treasure?

A license that allows you to beat insane assholes to your heart’s content.

The immunity I have now received is,

Among those licenses, it was located at the top.

It was incomparable to the immunity of nobles.

the leader of this country,

Because it was immunity guaranteed by the emperor himself.

“One thing. Always remember that the privilege of immunity can be taken away if it is abused.”

“Hold on to your worries.”

It’s always a problem to get into a fight first,

‘Cause I’ve rarely had a fight.

Even if you buy now… … no,

Even if you turn bad guys into idiots,

The nobles who suffered would not dare to protest against the Duke of Roelheim.

My back is from the duke’s family,

Because I was upgraded to His Majesty the Emperor.

“Thank you very much. This will be of great help to me.”

“I’m glad if you like it.”

At the pleasant smile that naturally bloomed on my lips, the emperor smiled as if he was satisfied.

“Huh…”

Among those who looked at such a red-haired young man with admiration,

A middle-aged sword master seemed to be soaring in anger.

‘That thunder-naked guy… … .’

Sword Master Keshan belonging to Prince Oh.

He was born into a wealthy family, received all kinds of support, and wielded only a sword all his life.

In the end, he was a talented swordsman who reached the level of sword master he longed for.

A likable appearance worthy of being called middle-aged.

A man who gets a lot of attention from noble ladies.

But the man

A middle-aged man who has been single all his life fell in love at first sight with an unreachable woman.

Her name is Laura Dian Rodenberg.

A broad mind and a great figure enough to embrace men like her.

Her voluptuous body, forged through years of training, had passed Keshan’s strike zone.

Although she had the status of the sixth princess,

That was just a minor stumbling block in front of his taste.

Of course, I couldn’t express my feelings.

That’s also true, because not everyone who is a sword master can become the emperor’s son-in-law.

‘If I become a better man, His Majesty will look upon me favorably.’

So I waited.

Become a stronger prosecutor

get a higher position

I will become a person high enough to ask His Majesty the Emperor confidently.

Later, while presenting a diamond ring to Her Highness, he planned to confess.

I had no doubt that it would happen in the future.

‘That damn bastard… … !’

Why?

Just seeing that red-haired young man standing in front of His Majesty made my heart jump as if it would explode.

Looking at Princess Laura,

I saw him secretly waving at that man named Leon.

Why are you talking to that guy?

I feel like I’m going blind with jealousy.

I tried to calm myself down, but the reality was that I couldn’t.

Even if you take a sip of the whiskey placed in front of you, you won’t feel refreshed at all.

‘I want to fight that man named Leon.’

I want to fight and kneel.

It seemed that only then would this boiling anger be relieved.

But the man didn’t know.

Like you in this world,

The fact that there are countless men who fell in love with Princess Laura at first sight.

Also, the fact that there are people who are looking after such romanticists.

and he,

The fact that he is a wicked man who does not hesitate to commit evil acts that make men like him eunuchs in order to acquire characteristics.

Keshan will not know even if he dies.

“Whoa…”

When a middle-aged man fights with the heart in his heart and cools off his anger,

“I can’t stay still any longer.”

A black-haired young man next to Keshan.

his lord and ambitious,

The opportunity came by the Empire’s Prince Oh.
