Margrave's Bastard Son was The Emperor

“Wow…….”

Jin complained a little and rubbed his face against the pillow. No matter how much she had learned the rules of the imperial palace, she was no different from commoner children in the morning..

The child lay down, opened his eyes slightly, and looked around. Xiaoxi, who was always sitting on the sofa at his feet, was nowhere to be seen. Instead, Ian was leaning against the wall, slowly reading something..

Jin knew right away that it was.

“Sir Ian?”

“Are you awake??”

“…Sia is?”

Ian slightly turned his head at Jin's call. Judging from the fact that he was putting his fingers between the cracks in the paper, it seemed like he was looking at it carefully rather than simply reading it..

Sir Ian, what on earth are you doing with this children’s book? As Jin blinked dazedly, Ian rang the call bell all the time..

“Xiaoxi had some business to attend to, so I sent him on a brief errand. It will come soon, don't worry. Instead, how about having breakfast with me today??”

“I like it so much.”

rattle-

As the bell rang, Jin's mind felt a little clearer. Soon a servant was called and came running..

“Did you call me??”

“My uncle coughed. Get ready.”

“yes. I'll order dinner soon..”

Meanwhile, Ian did not let go of the children's book. Jin was curious and approached Ian. He wondered if he had seen something wrong, but he was right. The portrait of Roberside, Jin's ancestor and guardian of the Temple of Carbo, was faded from age..

“But why is that?”

“Sir, you said that whenever you sleep after reading this fairy tale, Roverside always appears in your dreams. They say it's fun to play with..”

“It did. Yesterday I went to sleep watching something else, but that's the case without a single exception..”

Jin smiled brightly and nodded. Playing with Roverside was always fun. Especially when I was staying with Arsene, it felt like the only way out. Ian held up the book and asked.

“Can I borrow it for a few days? This is a book that is not even in the imperial library, so I would like to ask for it..”

There were many books about Roverside, but I couldn't find the children's book that Jin had. This is because he published it as a special edition from the Temple of Carbo. Of course, Jin shook his head to give permission..

“Did you like that book too? There's nothing to ask for. Enjoy your time.”

“thank you.”

“Poor Jin. Please eat in the bathroom. We are ready.”

“huh. okay. Ian, I'll be right back. eat breakfast together.”

Jin followed the servants with light steps. The door soon closed, and Ian pulled up a chair and sat down to read the storybook in earnest..

‘It's strange. Is it really a coincidence that Roverside appears in Jin's dreams every time he reads the book? Isn't that number too frequent for a fantasy created by a child's joy??’

And above all, Roverside appeared to me as I read the children's book. It wasn't a pleasant situation, with monsters flooding in and trying to kill Arsene..

Ian's desperate screams were still vivid in his ears..

‘A child who should not have been born. kill it!’

Knock knock, Ian patted Roberside’s portrait and looked down. Lastly, Roverside, which sealed the monster, Arsene's abilities not recorded in history, and the strangeness of the oracle.…….

A hypothesis popped into Ian's head, but he couldn't say it out loud until he had solid evidence..

‘If the guess is true, what happened to Arsene in original history? Since Jin is the emperor, there must have been an incident that caused Arsene to fall..’

While Ian was pondering his thoughts, Jin, who had finished preparing breakfast, came running out looking neat. The child held onto Ian's arm and urged her to eat..

“Sir Ian. Hurry and go to the restaurant. The chef said he caught duck today. uh? But I can't even see it as Roman..”

“I went with Xiaoxi..”

“okay?”

Jin rolled his eyes left and right and motioned for Ian to come closer. As Ian bent down to listen, Jean whispered a very discreet secret..

“I think Romandro and Vivianna's child will be a girl. Fortunately, she looks exactly like Vivianna, so she is intelligent and pretty..”

“where did you hear this?”

“Roverside told me!”

Jin's cheek wells were gently dented. Ian seemed a little surprised, lightly holding her child's shoulder and looking behind her. The servants quickly bowed their heads and retreated at a slow pace..

“Does Roverside tell you about that??”

“Not often, very rarely.”

“Did you tell me anything else??”

“Umm. Ah, the monster Roberside dealt with last. It wasn't in the book-”

Jin fumbled through his memories and took Ian's hand. Then, carefully, she traced something on the palm of her hand. She seemed to be a text message, but Ian couldn't understand it because it was his first time seeing it..

“He said he would write his name like this.”

“How do you read it?”

“well. Written on the ground with sticks.”

As far as Ian knew, it was not a script from a nearby country. Roberside was a person from the beginning of the founding of the nation, so was it used in ancient times? Or is it an illusion created by Jin? While Ian stood still and familiarized himself with the letters, Jin exchanged greetings with passing wizards..

“good morning.”

“How did you sleep? deterioration.”

“You have a very nice tie today..”

“You’re cool too! thank you!”

The two entered the restaurant. Seats for two prepared at a huge table. It was the moment when Ian was about to sit across from Jin..

Suddenly!

Suddenly, the restaurant door opened roughly, and Romandro appeared, drenched in sweat. He was panting heavily and quickly made eye contact with Ian..

“Romandro?”

“Ji, Jin is also with you..”

“You said you were going to work? Welcome. I had a meal?”

Unlike Jin, who greeted him warmly, Ian stopped unfolding his napkin and looked at Romandro. Even with Xiaoxi standing behind him. The two men shared the complaint and held it tightly in their arms..

“Mr. Romandro.”

“Hey, Ian. Hey, you know.”

“Take a breather. Xiaoxi. you also.”

When the people who went to file the complaint came in looking like that, Ian realized that his fears had come true. The reason the paper was shared was probably to prevent it from being lost all at once. It meant that Romandro felt that much of a threat..

“Close the door, everyone get out..”

It's good.

Following Ian's instructions, the servants bowed deeply and left the restaurant. Jin opened his eyes wide and read the atmosphere in an incomprehensible situation. Now, it looks like something's wrong?

“what happened?”

“Huh, huh, huh, it looks like they're trying to snatch me.”

Romandro gasped and slumped down in his chair. It's not a word to use in front of the prince, but there is nothing that adequately expresses this situation..

“Duke Hyman, I haven't seen him that much, but he's very mean. I was afraid there might be a problem with the carriage, so I walked. If she hadn't met Quintana in the middle, her knees would have collapsed..”

If you get kidnapped while riding a carriage, there's no way. In the end, Romandro chose to walk, met Quintana along the way, separated the two wizards, and returned first..

“The person in charge, Eric Se, was involved in a carriage accident. It probably won't come out sometime today or tomorrow, but the reception staff and the people gathered there are very suspicious..”

“It's clunky..”

Ian moistened his lips with lukewarm water. Although it is crude, it is a somewhat reliable method. It seemed that Hyman's side was trying to arrange for the general meeting to be held after Arsene's magic power confirmation ceremony. With only a few days left, direct physical events are most effective..

“And Ian. I think there's someone from the Hyman family at the Ministry of Magic. The two wizards who went with me earlier were also, ah, what should I say? Should I say it’s cheap??”

Jin's eyes widened like a rabbit at Romandro's whisper. The Ministry of Magic has far fewer personnel than other departments. In addition, the level of wealth is basically high, the self-esteem is strong, and the belief in solidarity is firm..

Nevertheless, if Hyman's magic was present, how many would there be in the entire imperial palace? It was a part where I felt once again that Hyman was a nobleman above nobles..

“is it so.”

But Ian nodded slightly as if he had expected it..

“Feeling is not something to be easily ignored. If Romandro feels that way, it's worth investigating..”

“You knew that too, right? That's why they added xiaoshi. If it wasn't for me, I would have cried because I was scared. really. Vivianna's face was so glimmering as she was running,!”

Romandro grabbed Xiaoxi's shoulder and shook it, groaning. Ian smiled bitterly at his appearance. It's easy to doubt your opponent, but it's always difficult to weed out your side..

“Ian, how did you notice? huh?”

“…I just hoped not..”

Saying that I hoped not. It assumed that reality was not like that. Regardless of the setting of the imperial palace, human life was like that. Ian lightly folded his napkin, remembering Naum’s words..

‘your majesty. When three people come together, one of them is a traitor and one of them is likely to defect. All that remains is Your Majesty, so please trust only Your Majesty..’

‘…you?’

‘your majesty. Don't trust me either. Always be skeptical, but keep it around and benefit from it. Trusting always hurts. I don't want your Majesty to get hurt..’

Why couldn't I keep that in mind back then? Ian bit her lip lightly as she remembered her nephew Cronie together..

Romandro, Xiaoxi, and Jin watched Ian's heavy silence. He has a grave expression, but his eyes are deep. I felt a lot of emotions swirling around me..

“Sir Ian?”

At Jin's call, Ian raised his head and smiled brightly..

“Are you okay??”

“it's okay. It was something I would do at some point..”

“which……?”

Wizards should not be swayed by personal matters. The strong responsibility that comes with strong power. Those who have taken the wizard's oath should not do so..

Ian waved the bell lightly and ordered the meal to be served..

ring.

“Find out what the current status of Eric Se's representative is. And we will send an official letter to the judiciary, so prepare the documents. When sending someone, send two wizards from different departments. Those who volunteer will not be accepted..”

“yes? Ah, yes yes. All right.”

“And tell the two wizards who went with Romandro to wait in their respective rooms. We will meet face to face as soon as the meal is over..”

The servant was taken aback by the sudden order, but it lasted only for a moment. He soon went back to deliver Ian's orders. Romandro asked, gulping down the remaining water..

“Ian. Sildam potion, I guess I should use it?”

“The Magic Stone Management Department already knows how to neutralize it. If they know, that means other wizards will know too. no trust.”

Ian held a knife with his right hand and a fork with his left. Then he cut the tomatoes very gracefully. What was one soon becomes two, then three again..

“We'll weed it out in a different way. The Ministry of Magic is one body, so there is no need for anything else inside..”
