I've Become the Villainous Emperor of a Novel

Book 1 Chapter - 3 Chapter 3. The Emperor's Work.

My body was very lively, but my mind was very tired. Julia tossed herself around on the spacious bed.

Why is your body so healthy?’

Last week, how hard I've worked to survive. He's been using his brain a lot. So, I wanted to sleep late to be honest.

I've been working for seven days, so can't we take a break now? It's not a day off, it's just a day.'

He tossed and turned on the bed with a whining sound even though his body was bright. I thought the maidens nearby would listen and laugh.

But who cares, everyone would love this.’

The maids who served Julia were so blindly on her side. Especially those who came back to her this time. Even if I threw them out again, I thought somewhere deep down I'd trust her.

'By the way, it was amazing this time…….’

Julia stopped tossing and turning and looked at the ceiling.

Yesterday, for the first time, I took a sword and attended the actual battle. It was thanks to learning the senses by competing with Eusto a few times in advance. Before Duke Pez appeared, it was his own sense to fight the Knights. After that, however, he felt strange when dealing with the crowd of reinforcements.

I wasn't nervous enough to be weird.’

No matter how confident Julia was, she was an overwhelming opponent in numbers. It would be normal to be nervous and nervous to see such people, but at that time, I was strangely full of confidence.

'It's easy to win...….’

When I skimmed through them, I could feel it at a glance, as if I had skimmed through the monthly reports.

I can win this.

'Now I think it's my body, but it's a little different usually…….’

A week, it's a hard time to say. It's not incompatible, but I'm tired as I am today, but I had this much gap in my body.

But then, for the moment of wielding a sword, it was really like one's body. I felt completely confident without feeling a little flutter. Even what I said to them flowed so naturally, not in smoke.

'That's weird...' In fact, I wonder where Julia was originally left. Actually, was I manipulated by Yulia?’

I thought so, but I didn't feel chilling. I thought that would be fine, too.

'By the way, I really have a lot of work to do.’

In fact, just thinking about it wasn't the time to roll around on the bed.

Now the empire was mixed up with one system or another. This was because there was a difference between the Kingdom of Ranchea, which was originally ruled by Julia, and the other countries that conquered it. It has already been a year since the war ended, and by this time, it should have been sorted out at least to some extent.

You should have at least come up with a road map of what to do in the future!’

But nothing was done right. Until now, Duke Fez had only somehow created gaps and made ways for him to gain power.

"And that's why things are so unsettling."

It is not that it is not, but the remaining royalty in other countries will be building up their strength. Among them, the "E-Turn" that Duke Pez had contacted was particularly threatening.

After Julia's death in the novel, it was there that ran amok the most. Holding hands with the Duke of Pez, they continued the war until they managed to reclaim their land. As if only their power is important, not even caring about the death of their own people.It's not good to have a war now. I'm here, and Eusto is here, so they won't jump the gun.'

It was necessary to be vigilant. Above all, she was in E-Turn.

Guyana, the great evil girl.

"To me, she seemed more of a poor woman than a great evil woman, but...….’

Guyana has a knack for manipulating people since she was born. King Eaton abused her from an early age, making her a man who couldn't do anything without a father.

"So what's really bad is the fallen king of Eton.’

She was just at the mercy of her father. Because I've been so tamed not to disobey. I hated to see her cover all the notoriety and pretend to be a rightful monarch.

It was all thanks to Felix that Julia was able to win the fight with Eton. After Julia's death, Felix was forced to struggle in the war for a long time because he did not help Eusto.

'I'm relieved that Felix is here, but... I'm gonna have to do some research on E-Turn, too.’

It bothered me a lot that the place connected to the Duke of Pez was there.

In addition to that, Julia drew a roadmap with her head to overhaul the system.

What we need now is a concrete implementation. To root out corrupt nobles, first of all, who I can trust...….’

Julia sighed as she thought that far.

You said you'd take a break. What are you doing? I'm really going to take a break!’

Julia, thinking so, pulled the quilt back. Now that I've used my brain, I hope I can't fall asleep. But life wasn't supposed to go its way.

Your Majesty, I have a request for an audience.

I wondered if I should pretend to sleep as Flena whispered and carefully talked to me. Then it was clear that Flena would reject it on her own.

‘…….’

But she wasn't the one who could. Julia neatly rolled up the quilt and got up from her seat.

'I'll take a break after the reception, please!'

"Your Highness, kill your convictions!"

As soon as Julia entered the audience room, dozens of nobles gathered knelt down and begged her.

Julia realized who they were. Those who followed her ideals along the battlefield together, if not as much as Eusto.

In other words, Julia and those who trusted each other, who I could make on my side.’

I just pressed my original self, rolling around on the bed, relaxed. It was supposed to be Yulia here. She sat slowly on my throne, looking at them.

"What are you talking about in the morning? Get up."

"Your Majesty, your convictions...….”

"Yesterday, the empire lost a lot of blood.”

Julia spoke to them with a sigh.

"I don't want to punish you for trivial things."

"It's not a minor sin. We're...!"

"If you ask Jim to kill you, the purpose is not to ask him for forgiveness. Don't you think so?"

They swallowed their breath at Julia's words.

"Maybe you want to punish yourself for not recognizing Jim because of other factors."

That was an accurate point. The nobles gathered were rather more heartbroken by her words.

"Your Majesty has indeed returned.’

It was Emperor Yulia, whom they adored and adored.

"What would you do to punish a force majeure? It's not a burden that you've built, it's an illusion created by Duke Pez. Don't you think so?"

"Your Majesty, how could you...….”

"Or did Jim look so narrow-minded?"

They shut their mouths at Julia's words. She was right.The emperor, who they served so sincerely until two years ago, was not the one who punished his subordinates for trivial things. The distinction between reward and punishment was clear, but the inevitable circumstances were always considered by the fair emperor.

"But it is true that we have failed to fulfill our duties as servants, Your Majesty."

As a servant, it was a great sin not to notice the monarch's ideals.

"Don't doubt it, Jim will punish you enough.”

Julia leaned on the roof armrest and held her chin in one arm and told them. Her confident and relaxed appearance reminded them of a time when they were traveling with her on the battlefield.

Julia felt better in a slightly different way.

'That's good, I didn't have enough people to work anyway.’

It was to applaud and welcome them if they volunteered to follow them.

'Shall we ask them to write a status report one by one?’

It was already confirmed that Count Venus and Cyril would work in their heads, but others were ambiguous. Of course, Felix and Eusto had a lot to do. It was a time when you had to use everything you could trust. But now they bowed to me and had plenty to use.

The Duke of Fez has made a mess of things, so we're going to have to sort out the documents first.’

There were other countries that had to check how they operated the system. There is a basic framework that Julia thought, but it was not good to apply it as it is.

"Suddenly, it's too much to ask them to adapt to the new system."

Julia's lips automatically went up at the thought of an increase in reliable hands.

"I will receive any punishment, Your Majesty."

"Yes, you should."

They were firmly prepared for Julia's words. I was determined to accept it even if I told him to die.

'Lastly, I saw your original appearance, and now I have no regrets.’

They had their lives cut out of their heads without anticipating Julia's doctor. However, Julia's words quickly brought it to reality.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to have to work on the Empire's pulverization."

"…what?"

They looked surprised at the unexpected order.

"Did you intend to engage in another feud? You didn't go to war alone, did you leave it to Jim to handle to Jim?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...".”

"Jim believed you would do that, didn't he?"

Julia talked to them as if she were disappointment. It's a big deal if they run away because they don't want to work here.

Of course I know it's very important to comply with working conditions.

I wasn't confident to be such a boss to them as I am now. In the first place, they were not workers, but people with a lot of responsibility.

"Do you believe in your convictions, Your Majesty?"

"I think everyone can make a mistake at least once."

"Your Majesty..."

They bowed their heads deeply, moved. For them, Julia was this kind of person. He was such a ruler who was broad-minded, very noble, who could realize all his dreamy ideals.

"So don't make a second mistake, Jim can't turn a blind eye to it.”

"With all due respect, Your Majesty."

When Julia saw them, she felt another life-threatening sword being removed. Little of her work in the future would stop calling for blue, and then they would be a strong shield.

'I was going to take a break...….’

Declaring them like this, I was motivated. I felt like I had to work with this drive right away. Yesterday's execution had cut off all those who held various positions in the palace.'Shall we appoint him here instead of wasting time?’

In the second half of the novel, there was a person who was the number one contributor to the imperial settlement.

Julia smiled and pointed to him for his courtesy. To die with him in the future to work.

"Then I shall appoint Count Cyril Venus as Chancellor."

Standing at the very end of the congregation, he looked at Julia with interesting eyes.

Those who gathered at the news of Cyril's appointment as prime minister looked at the two alternately with astonishment.

"to appoint Count Venus as Chancellor...…?’

A young man from another country?

Such an idea crossed their minds. To be honest, the backlash raised its head first. I felt sorry with him.

Is it hard to believe that we once turned our back on you?

Even so, I was disappointed. I even thought it would be better to make Felix prime minister, who was her closest aide. Above all, Cyril had a half-bone temperament. It occurred to me that the emperor must suffer.

“…….”

But they soon decided to change their minds.

"You promised to obey the Emperor with all your allegiance, and you tried to oppose the first order.’

No matter how many times I thought about it, I couldn't face Yulia.

'Your Majesty must have thought of something.’

Most of the people gathered tried to suppress the discontent that was about to rise from their minds with such thoughts. Above all, the heart was based on trust in Yulia. Julia, who they knew originally, would always show them the right way.

All we have to do is trust and follow you.

But contrary to their admirable thoughts, Cyril spoke to her with her mouth curled up.

"I don't think that's a very wise decision."

Cyril's words drew the attention of the nobles to him in unison.

"But if you insist on making me do it, I'll take your orders."

It was an unexpected reaction. Julia looked at him in a nonchalant way.

You've been working so hard since Julia died.

To be honest, I didn't expect it because I thought I'd be happy to accept it.

'Cause of what happened in the last two years, you can't trust and follow?’

To be honest, I was in trouble. Of course, other nobles were not bad, but it was a waste to know that he was capable of fiction. But I didn't want to push someone who didn't seem too willing.

'There's a lot of work to be done in the future, but it's not good to give it to someone who's not motivated.’

Julia decided to step back first.

"What you're going to do is not easy, so I don't want to overdo it."

Julia told him, trying to hide her disappointment.

"Jim's glad you're here. Maybe he's in a hurry. We'll talk about this another time."

She stood up saying so. If Cyril still had distrust in him, he had to find a second best solution.

It might be better to go back.’

But unlike her, who did not take much of Cyril's rejection, the remaining nobles saw him with sore eyes.

'We dare to put up with it!’

"Is he crazy?" How can you refuse to accept an order from our Emperor?’

Why on earth would you use that insolent man as Chancellor?’

A complex mind rose among them. Of course, I was reluctant to appoint Cyril as Chancellor. But more than that, Julia admitted, she didn't like kicking herself more.The nobles were in conflict.

'I must persuade you to change your mind if you wish...….’

But a sense of rejection was ahead. Julia tells them to do it, and if he had accepted willingly, they would have tried to adapt. However, his vague self-esteem came back to haunt him when he persuaded the rejection.

'But His Majesty...….’

They agonized over the look of the emperor, who seemed a little tired.

After having an audience, Julia headed to her office, contrary to her promise to play. Documents piled up around the desk and office caught my eye.

'I've never thought of anyone but Cyril.’

Knowing that she had no energy to sit down and work, she sat down in her office chair. Maybe he thought it was too easy. Duke Pez's work, stopping treason, is easier than you think.

"Especially Cyril was cooperative from the beginning.’

To be honest, I felt like I was stabbed in the back of my head. He hated corruption terribly, hated leadership incompetence. It was true that he expected to receive it quickly if he gave strength.

Julia sighed a small sigh, and someone put a familiar scented car in front of her.

"Do you want to keep Count Venus around like that?”

It was Felix. He hugged the tray with his car and looked at Julia with anxious eyes.

"Because he's smart."

"But there's a lot of other people, right? There's a marquis you had in the war...….”

Felix looked like she cared about Cyril's appointment. He was quite in favor of what Julia was doing in the play. On his grumpy face, Julia asked for an idea.

"Felix, you don't like Count Venus?"

"I like whatever you do."

"Not that kind of face."

"That's it."

Felix slightly puffed up his cheeks.

"You didn't like it when the Earl of Venus appointed you.”

"Huh?"

"I'm sure the same goes for everyone else. Of course, he wasn't originally from Ranchea, he was a foreign aristocrat, and he was young."

Julia realized one more thing she was missing at the words.

'Maybe I was being too soft.’

Of course the nobles did not express their complaints on the spot. It was a position to ask for Julia's forgiveness, probably because she liked her that much.

'Honestly, I think I still think of this place as a novel.’

I'm over the hump. When I captured Duke Pez, I moved with the Knights. However, it was also true that the reader's position remained. So there was a subtle sense of reality.

But the people I work with and I'll meet in the future are all people who are real here.’

It would have been the same for the nobles. They were loyal to Yulia for a long time, and were the original supporters of the Kingdom of Lanchea. He beat all those people to name Cyril.

'Of course it's not wrong...….’

But it was hard to think it was the right decision. At first glance, it seemed justifiable to prioritize skills. But that alone would not be enough to control people's minds.

Concerns arose that he might have lit the pot. The pot with the fire was bound to boil one day. Keeping the lid closed didn't stop all the overflowing contents.

But it's a waste of time to leave Cyril as it is.….’

Julia was troubled with a serious look. Without noticing that Felix only focused on a few of what he said.

"What brings you here, Duke Marcus?"

The next day, Cyril, resting in his own mansion in the capital, received an unexpected visit."I'm sorry I didn't contact you, but I'd like to talk to you."

"…okay. I'm going to change my clothes for a while."

In a comfortable outfit, Eusto said he didn't mind, but Cyril politely declined.

He told the servant to guide Eusto with a feeling that it was time to come. Yesterday when I answered Julia's appointment as Chancellor that way, I thought I'd be berated by someone.

Make sure you say no.’

It was a vague answer to my own question. To be honest, I was greedy for the position offered by the emperor. If he became prime minister, he could correct the corruptions he had wanted to cut out. I was confident that I could do better than anyone else. There was also expectation for Julia's attitude of punishing Duke Pez. That is why I took such an ambiguous attitude.

"You should not be so rude in front of your majesty, as it is.

I knew it, but strangely enough, a mixture of innermost thoughts came out like that. The answer there would have been, 'I'm not good enough for the position, so please take your orders back.' She'll be in the way if she's going to use them in many ways. It was inefficient to live with that. Originally, a nobleman from other countries, not from Ranchea, was already a harsh stone.

In fact, after treason fell through, most aristocrats from other countries returned to their own. What remained in the capital was expectations and unnecessary regret.

Even so, I didn't expect Duke Marcus to come to talk to me himself.

Cyril put the jacket button on and fixed the lingering look. I thought it was time to manage the land I left to my younger brother.

But Cyril, who later went down to the drawing room, heard something unexpected.

"Can you repeat that?"

"I asked you to come visit me and ask me to take the office of Prime Minister."

Dark green eyes looked at him in a straightforward manner. He looked hard to believe it was a joke or a lie.

"Is that what it looks like to make the word 'robust' human?"

Cyril opened his mouth with such a mean thought at unexpected words.

"Are you serious?"

I wanted to confirm even though I knew it was something I said. Even though Eusto knows he's not the type to come and talk nonsense.

"Do I look like a man who can lie to Count Venus?”

Cyril shook his head at the words.

"I know who the Duke is. Once I've made up my mind, he's the one who goes through it."

Julia was the only one to have it withdrawn. She was the only one who could shake his mind. And yet, I asked because I didn't understand.

"But I'm not from Ranchea. I'm sure the Duke knows that."

Cyril said with an expression of knowing his place. It's not like that on the inside.

"There will be cracks if I become prime minister for other nobles from Ranchea. No matter how loyal I am to His Majesty...….”

"Is that why?"

"…what?"

I could feel the cold heat in Eusto's eyes. His eyes were angry at something.

"I'm asking if that's why I'm giving you shade."

"I thought it would be better than just me making a crack and doing a lot of things wrong."

Eusto quietly clenched his fist at the words.

"I'd like you to withdraw that idea."

"The Duke of Marcus."

"It's more unpleasant to think lightly of our loyalty than to refuse to serve as Chancellor, and to rise above you who are not from Ranchea."Cyril stared at Eusto even though he knew it was rude. I wondered if he was the one who rebelled against tyranny until just a few days ago.

'…was it a bigger decision than I thought?’

It was also true that it was strange that the emperor went to plead guilty to her as if he had waited to see that he had punished Duke Pez.

'Everyone could have died of treason on the spot.’

Evading or turning a blind eye would also be the way, but they went to plead guilty. It was more of a disgrace to not serve the emperor properly. As if the Emperor had waited a long time to come to his senses.

Even so, it would also be true to look down on me.

It was simply not a convincing greeting. When Julia pointed to her, she thought the risk was high. That's why I said it wasn't wise.

If the emperor had the will to clean up corruption, he would gradually resemble his ideal. It was inefficient to make it happen by sitting in the Chancellor's office greedily, fighting another aristocrat.

"But Duke Marcus, originally a nobleman of Lanchea… No, I know most nobles don't think very well of me."

"But I know you're capable."

Eusto spoke straight out.

"And the most important thing is your doctor. It's our job to follow him if he wants to."

Eusto said as if it were neither great nor unusual, nor natural. But there was still a question for Cyril.

Even so, considering the atmosphere yesterday, it's hard to think that you accepted me in a day.’

In addition, there was a decent person from Lanchea. Even if it is best for Yulia, there is no second best solution.

"If there's still any reason I can't tell you, I'd like you to tell me."

Eusto spoke to him in a quiet, heavy voice. His attitude seemed to blow up anything that caused his hesitation.

"I don't mean to question the Duke's words."

"Tell me."

"Did other people really think it was okay? Is he or the Duke alone?"

To that question, Eusto replied to him with a face that was not a lie.

"Everyone's will."

“…….”

"I know it's hard to believe. But last night, I persuaded everyone."

"The Duke...?”

Cyril couldn't understand why he went so far.

I can't believe the Emperor can do that just because he wants to.’

It was amazing.

For two years I could see why they waited so much hope and torture themselves.

Because Cyril was frustrated with it.

"But the reason I was able to persuade you in a day was because everyone was thinking about it."

Eusto recalled a story told by the nobles last night. They thought Julia could stand what she didn't like if she wanted to. It was because the joy of Yulia's return was much greater than their respective feelings. So they appreciated Eusto's presence.

'I'm relieved that the Duke will tell you in person. I'm afraid we'll have to let go of our pride to find Count Venus and persuade him.’

It was a reaction like that. So Eusto was actually disappointed with Cyril, who took a step back in his wildest guess. He believed in himself, and it seemed that Julia's choice wasn't as solid as I thought.

"I have a question for you, Count Venus. Are you not confident in working if there is someone who complains? Is that a man who can't carry it out?"Cyril's corners of his mouth were blurred by Eusto's words.

"I don't care about that. I backed down because my presence could have created a crack and become a stumbling block."

"That's what we call an excuse."

Eusto spoke to him like a wedge.

"It sounds like a weak man who doesn't have the confidence to be recognized beyond such little things."

Cyril answered with her slightly lowered eyes open.

"That's not true. If I were afraid of something like that, I wouldn't be in the capital."

"Then prove it."

At Eusto's words, Cyril gritted his teeth slightly. It was a visible provocation. It was straightforward and there was no hiding. And he was caught in a good way. I've never thought of myself as incompetent in my life.

"All right, I'll tell Your Majesty I'll gladly accept it. I'll prove my worth in personally.

Obviously, I didn't feel bad even though I fell for the provocation. On the contrary, I was relieved by what I said as if I were pouring out. The greed, regret, and hesitation that remained uncomfortable were cleared up.

The next day, Cyril asked Yulia for an audience.

"Did you just say yes?"

Cyril bowed to Yulia with a cool, cheeky face.

"I take it with pleasure, Your Majesty."

Julia called joy to herself in his response.

I was thinking about what to do. I found a candidate with other people, but it wasn't spiritual.'

There were several reasons why she appointed Cyril as Chancellor.

The first was because he was competent. In dealing with the Duke of Fez, I liked his workmanship. It was handled meticulously in accordance with precise principles.

The Duke of Fez would have bothered him so much, he could have cleverly inflated his guilt. But he drew up a document with facts without such tricks. I liked that point.

The second was because of his personality.

I will appoint loyal people to key posts for reform in the future.’

It was because those loyal to her were reliable. But then there is one blind spot.

'Since I'm a human being, there might be times when I'm off. Especially if there are people around me who support me.'

At that time, there had to be someone who could speak directly. I needed someone who could say the right thing regardless of his favor. Now that I have decided to live as an emperor as Yulia, I did not want to be a power-crazed and profligate person.

And the third, for a very trivial reason, was that he was the same age as Julia, the body's original owner.

"I'm going to make a fool of myself under the guise of Chancellor, but other nobles are at least my uncle's age...….’

Of course, I don't mean to be gentle, but I thought that those who work nearby would be better off psychologically.

Starting with Cyril's appointment as prime minister, Julia finished preparing to work by putting trustworthy people in the vacant seat one by one.

"Aren't you tired this late at night?"

As she approached in the dark, Julia swung her sword without stopping her hand. Because he didn't hide his signs, he knew who he was even before he spoke to him.

"I came out rather tired."

I had to move my body a little to sleep better because I was so physically fit. Julia responded to him, brandishing her sword familiarly.

"Are you sure you're all right? Eusto."

"Your Majesty is fine, but I cannot cry first.""Hmm."

Julia pulled back her sword and turned to Eusto. When Julia beckoned as if to come, he held up a practice wooden sword. She smiled leisurely as she watched Eusto breathe in.

You're nervous.’

She was amazing, too.

When I read it, I felt that I was exaggerating about Yulia, but when I became her, it was the opposite. That was not enough to express her strength. Yusto, who is comparable to her, would always get a small scar.

The sword struck with a clapping sound. Julia moved in a warm-up mood, but Eusto stuck with her whole heart.

"You work too much."

"Is that so?"

"I've heard you're not in perfect condition yet."

"Tae-ui has a big mouth.”

"I am the one responsible for your safety."

Julia laughed softly at the words.

I think it's lively enough.’

Tae-ui said there is a drug energy that has not yet been drained. Of course, it would disappear in a month or two, so it wasn't much of a concern.

I'm rather cheerful.’

Julia took Yusto's sword and recalled the aristocrats who came in one by one, looking as if they were about to die today.

"I think you're always doing something to lose.”

"What do you mean?"

"He said you were the one who persuaded Cyril and the others."

“…….”

Eusto did not say yes or no to that. When she overheard the fact, Julia frankly admired it. The emperor's most loyal servant, the modifier, was no exaggeration.

"Thanks to Eusto, I have less to worry about.’

After Cyril's appointment, Julia wondered if she had stirred up the nobles too much. But Eusto came forward and gave it to me. He was acquainted with the reverence of the nobles for Yulia, so he gently persuaded them. Based on that, Cyril was allowed to move directly, protecting the pride of the nobles.

'He doesn't care about his pride. I thought about it when I read it, but he's a really cool person.’

Ten days have passed since Cyril's appointment as Chancellor. Of course, it wasn't without noise. There were those who looked askance at Cyril and secretly felt sorry for him. But even then, I tried not to show.

But now I really thought differently. It is said that it is the emperor's consideration not to appoint one of them as prime minister.

"Your Majesty was not only a battlefield, he was just a monster...….’

A sound came across my ears like someone was passing by. They carried a lot of work and moaned. It wasn't the sound of blaming Julia, it was a great expression.

In the past ten days, Julia has made great use of her remaining physical strength. There were many things I could do because I had good physical strength.

'Oh, I'd have won more incentives if I did this before.’

Julia struck a sword dozens of times with Eusto and imagined meaningless things.

"Are you sure you're all right?”

"Does Jim look so weak?"

Julia bounces Eusto's sword with one hand, saying so. He took the sword with a strong leg.

'Eusto is not on bad terms with the nobles, so he must have heard it coming and going.’

I knew roughly what aristocrats are saying these days. Rather than trying to listen, it was more like Felix's. He used to tell the ghost when any of the aristocrats talked about Yulia. Julia told me that I didn't have to do that, so I'm pretty much done these days."I thought Count Venus was a workaholic, too. There's more to it than there is."

Isn't it a little funny? I've never seen Count Venus look so tired of work.’

All in all, it was about this. Certainly, Cyril's face, which was at first cheekyly relaxed, changed more desperately. He came after her as casually as he could, as if he had never fallen behind in his work skills.

'That's a relief. The initial clean-up work went smoothly.'

Julia hit Eusto's hand with her left hand as she came crashing into her head as she drew what to do tomorrow. At the same time, the sword he held fell like flying. Julia was seen off guard because of her standard response.

"Thank you for dealing with me today, Eusto."

"No, Your Majesty."

"Go to work early tomorrow morning, I have a lot of work to do."

"Yes."

It was already past 1 a.m. He nodded happily at the sound that would have screamed if someone else had heard it.

Indeed, Eusto has been waiting for this Julia for two years.

She felt envious of Julia, the original owner of the body. Eusto reached out to her as if to clean up the rest.

When Julia smiled and handed over the wooden sword, Eusto smiled lightly. Every night when I hung out with Daryeon, which had become Julia's routine, I often remembered things before she had yet to rise to the throne.

Even the Knights did not properly deal with the Duke's illegitimate son. Julia treated him like a human being.

"Don't be a good person if you're ignored!"

The words have always been a light to him, and gave him strength to withstand the duchess's When she became emperor and went to war, she was a reason to be with the most dangerous places.

Julia turned her back on him and did not forget to worry.

"Jimjil, don't forget, Eusto."

"…yes."

Eusto looked quietly at the wrist with the marks on his hand, listening to the sound of Julia's

'I'm willing to give pride to anyone.’

I could do anything if I could support them like this. From the moment I fell in love with Yulia, I felt like I couldn't get out of his mind.

A few weeks have passed since the rough appointment of personnel was completed. Due to Duke Fez's abandonment, it was a murderous workload just to sort out the inadequate handling.

In addition, it was bound to be busy in time. The empire was just harvest season, and it was also the first year of proper farming after the war.

Thanks to this, Juliana and the nobles were busy supporting various things accordingly. We had to prepare something in advance for the harvest season.

So one month, one day, Cyril suddenly opened his mouth.

"I'll take three days off from tomorrow."

"Three days?"

"I'm confident I've worked enough to get that much."

Julia could not honestly deny what he said. It was him who worked day and night and no holidays as much as she did. To the extent that most of the aristocrats from Ranchea, who treated Cyril as a stone, truly sympathized with him.

"Your Majesty has no mercy on Count Venus."

It meant that they were suffering from hard work to the point where they could hear.

'Yes, if you work like this, you can't even do what you have to do.’

Julia answered by burying her head in the document. Unlike Felix, he was very strong."Okay, rest well for three days."

"What are you talking about?”

"…Huh?"

"Your Majesty is resting, too."

Julia looked at him with a face asking what he was talking about. Then Cyril looked at her with a look as if she really didn't know.

"Thanksgiving starts tomorrow, Your Majesty."

"Well, I know that."

"If you don't rest, all the rest of the palace's vacation plans will go awry!"

Cyril saw her with her eyes how dare anyone else rest when the monarch does not rest.

"No, it's not like my boss can't take a break from his work."

To be honest, Julia thought so. He was himself, and the other was a different person. But this place was different. She quickly realized that she couldn't force her common sense. When I asked the maidens, they answered with a straightforward and obvious answer.

"How can we rest when you are working, we are well rested to stay with you."

Of course they didn't answer to look good on Yulia. However, when I remembered my boss who used to notice me every time I took a year off, I said that I should take a rest. If they didn't take care of them, they felt obliged to take care of themselves.

So today, the first day of Thanksgiving, Julia decided to go out of the palace for a long time. Not only did he imagine it as a book, but he wanted to see the closest distance to the country he would rule himself.

"It's certainly quieter in the palace than usual.”

"A lot of people took a vacation."

Flena replied by braiding Felix's new hair so it wouldn't stand out. Felix, the man who helped her, was beside her in great gloom.

"If I had known, I would have said I was off today."

"Felix..."

The sullen appearance of a handsome-faced boy aroused compassion. But Flena was different. She was sweet and generous to Yulia, but not to the people she worked with.

"No, Felix. There's no substitute today."

"I know."

Felix handed some maggots to Yulia with a gloomy face. He knew that Julia was very strong, but he was worried.

"I'll run as soon as you call me, but if it's dangerous, you have to call me!”

"Okay, so go do what you're doing. I think she's going to get mad.”

"Yes, Your Majesty...".”

Julia smiled at Felix's trudging steps. He was really honest in front of himself.

When she was ready to go out, it was none other than a stable. You could have asked people to prepare for the horse, but I didn't want to make it hard because it was a day off for many people.

As the stable neared, I felt a familiar sign of popularity. It was Eusto, and with a playful face Julia headed for the stable, killing the gas.

'Wow, it's like a painting.’

Near a stable where the morning sun shines, he was speaking to groom his fur. His affection for words turned out to be a pale smile. It felt like a work of art that would have seemed like a daily routine if someone else had done it.

'He's definitely handsome...….’

At that moment, the sentence in the book came to Yulia's mind for the first time in a while.

When young Eusto first swore allegiance to Yulia, she handed over a decorative dagger that she had instead of a proper sword.

He couldn't use it in real life, but he carried it all the time like a talisman.The dagger was seen sticking out its head between his clothes, which had become loose because it was a holiday. A blue sapphire-decorated dagger that looks like it's about to fall off your clothes.

Julia recalled a fact that she didn't feel at the moment.

'…Eusto liked Julia.’

It was a strange emotion that could not be expressed either like it or dislike it.

What the hell is this feeling?’

The Emperor's Guard, Duke Eusto Marcus, was a man who would really do anything for the original Julia.

'Cause it's not me. I'm sorry... I'm envious of course.

Julia stood nailing her way from Eusto and looked at him.

I've had feelings for the past month. It's a little different from the feelings of love, but I got used to being around him.

'I just thought we were close, but when I realized that I wasn't the other person, I think it's a sad feeling...….’

I felt awkward because I built up intimacy by myself.

From the moment he became Julia, Eusto had no choice but to pay attention to many things. She was her number one loyalist.

The image of the broken emperor and the stigma of the empire she had achieved, afflicted himself countless times, and he decided.

Swallowing the long-held Yeonjung deep in my heart.

'But there's no more Ulya that Eusto had such deep feelings for.’

I'm sorry about that again.

He accepted the fact that he became Julia to some extent and intended to do well. But even if it wasn't my fault, he still had her in his heart.

It's inevitable.

Julia sighed for a moment, looking after the horse with a complex look on her face. My mind gradually subsided and my head calmed down.

'…let's just walk.’

But just then Eusto looked up. The moment my eyes met, I thought my heart was falling.

"I didn't do anything bad!"

I felt like I did something like that.

As soon as Eusto saw her, she smiled brightly and gave an example.

"I see His Majesty, the Lord of the Empire."

That smile was also affectionate in front of Julia. To be honest, that face made my heart ache now. He always looked like a cold wind in front of other aristocrats.

I feel like someone's poking my conscience.’

Julia answered him with her usual laid-back face, trying to ask a question of embarrassment.

"What do you do on holidays?"

"I don't think I've taken care of this guy myself these days…….”

It was time for Eusto to stand up saying that. The dagger, which was in the pocket inside the clothes, fell off. He was startled and picked up the dagger right away.

As Julia expected, what was described in the book seemed to come to mind. It was a sword decorated with blue sapphire embossed patterns on handles and swords.

Eusto's ears were red with embarrassment.

"Originally, Yulia could bring up the old story naturally."

All he knew was fragmentary information learned from novels. I didn't want to scratch it. Julia coughed once and turned to her original story.

"Don't apprentices usually do that?"

He nodded with a real face at her question.

"But on a day off like this, I'll have to take care of him."

"So is he.”

"You often do that, Your Majesty."

Julia laughed silently at the words.

Julia used to be like that.There was a description that he used to take a breather by taking care of horses side by side with Eusto when the front was stuck and became a non-holiday holiday. I felt guilty again.

"But what's the occasion, looking like...….”

Eusto asked, looking at her unusual dark hair.

"It's been a long time since we had a holiday, so I thought I'd take a look outside the castle.”

"Are you going to watch the Thanksgiving Festival?"

"Yes, it's the first thanksgiving day after the war. I want to check with Jim's eyes.”

"Then I'll stand guard."

"…Huh?"

Julia looked at him in wonder at the words. An ordinary imperial family could not even plan to go out alone like this.

But she was Yulia. Everyone knew the emperor was strong, and it was not a day or two that she refused to escort him.

"Whatever, it's been a long time since you've had a holiday and you'll be tired with Jim."

"No, Your Majesty. Please let me go with you."

"It's really okay, I don't want to be an emperor who steals holidays from his loyal subordinates. And who would harm Jim?"

When Julia tried to say no, speaking lightly, he took a step closer to her and said with a look of earnestness.

"I know, Your Majesty is strong. But I'm still worried. To be honest, I'd like anyone to carry an escort."

"Eusto……."

His face showed strangely deep regret. Julia looked at him with a puzzled face.

"Two years ago... I wish I had followed you even if I was forced to... At least if someone else put it on...….”

He murmured to himself.

"Two years ago?"

In a moment, a complicated idea unfolded in my head. It felt like every page of the novel I had read so far was unfolding.

'Did Eusto regret anything like that two years ago...…?’

It wasn't just a day or two that Julia went around alone. But nothing like what he said came to mind.

"Oh, come to think of it, I definitely felt like I was overprotecting myself after the talk of taking my pills.’

The attitude in the book was a little different from what others treated Julia. It was also a bit different to dismiss it as the difference between seeing it in writing and experiencing it in person.

I've asked Felix several times today to call me if anything happens.

It's true that he likes Julia, but he's never tried to protect her that way.

What the hell is that?’

It was even strange that nothing was pointed out. She read this story three times. The number of times has increased, including the fact that I've only looked through my favorite parts from time to time to time. Then, I thought it would be normal to have a vague point.

The last Eton kingdom and drug-related content were also incompatible. He's very detailed about other things, but he doesn't even know anything until he hears it. At that moment, I felt something sharp in my head.

'...sleep...'...previous... …Memories……'

The stranger's voice filled my head with a crackling sound like a broken speaker.

Julia touched her head reflexively. There was a sense of incompatibility and rejection.

"Your Majesty?"

Eusto supported her and cried out in surprise. Julia wrinkled her eyes and shook her hand to him, who was about to call for courtesy.

"It's not a big deal.

"It's not a big deal, Your Majesty would feel such pain!"

Julia breathed out a small breath at the words and straightened her face. The pain that seemed to have been rolling around in my head quickly subsided."It's really okay. And I came out after a long time, and I don't want to go back in."

"Your Majesty!"

"Follow me instead. I won't force myself to go alone.”

Eusto shut up for a moment at the words and looked at her appealingly. But Julia, whom he knows well, was stubborn at times like this. Eusto was forced to nod to her.

Thanks to this, Julia's plan to go far was broken. That's why he desperately opposed it, saying he didn't look as well as usual.

Julia sighed as she walked with him.

"If I knew this would happen, shouldn't I have just sneaked out alone?

It's easy to stand out even if you're alone, but it's even better when you're with Eusto. His handsome face and tall physique also highlighted his presence. Even if it's a holiday and he's dressed lightly.

I don't want to cause a scene.

When asked to cover his face, he silently pressed his hood. Julia agonized for a moment when she saw it.

'You look rather suspicious…….’

He was as much a presence as Yulia. Julia sighed, told him to take off his hood and headed to the village.

As he went down, Eusto spoke to her anxiously.

"It's probably a bit of a mess in town."

"That's because it's a festival. There is nothing I can do. That's why I told you to tighten up security. I'm sure you had a security plan.”

"Yes, we're all set."

"Are you not confident?”

Eusto shook his head strongly at the words. If nothing else, it was hard for him to think that Julia could not carry out her order properly.

On Thanksgiving Day, people flocked to the capital city where traffic was usually low. Especially after Thanksgiving Day, the capital society began shortly afterwards.

Julia wasn't very interested in it, but Flena and the other maidens used to talk about it, so she knew the rough information.

"Even non-Lanchean nobles are more likely to come up this year."

They said that their purpose would be to examine the emperor's trends and mood rather than socialize. What would you do in the future to benefit, or if he could not lose as much as possible in order to find if he could.

Thanksgiving, in the meantime, would be a good excuse. Even if there are a lot of outsiders, they often see it strange, and as the shopping district became more active, so did the distribution of information.

Julia looked around the capital thinking as much as she could about the story and the reports she had seen. If you don't know what's going on here, the road map will just be off track.

There were really a variety of people on the street. Those who appeared to be aristocrats, those who appeared to be travelers, those who lived here, and their faces were all different.

At first, you have to refer to it for work.Yulia, who was walking with the thought of '', walked half-way as if she were shopping.

Eusto did not strongly dissuade her from tampering with food sold in stalls. Instead, he put his mouth on it first, and then let Yulia eat it.

"It's something that everyone normally buys and eats…….”

Julia murmured, eating fried bread.

"But you never know. I don't know if I'm not around, but let me check if I'm around."

"I see."

Julia sighed softly, saying so. It was a different outing than I first thought, but it wasn't a bad one. The bread I ate tasted like croquette and was better than I thought.

"Oh, are you two knights?"

While walking like that, a middle-aged man with a good-looking impression spoke to me in a friendly manner. When Eusto hardened his face, he shook his hands and laughed."No, no, no, I'm not trying to pick a fight. I'm a retired driver, so I'm your senior!"

He looked at Eusto and Julia in a hurry.

"What's the matter, sir?"

At Julia's question, he coughed up and said to the two.

"The festival was the best breweries and restaurants in the city, offering a lot of drinks and food."

"Yes."

"I'll fight until five and give it to the last winner.”

It just happened to be 4:50. The man coughed in vain and pointed his hand toward the square where people gathered. As he said, an oak barrel was piled up on one side. The smell of grilling meat on the spot was also strong.

"No, but to be honest, it's a festival, so no matter who wins, we put it out to enjoy it together.

"By the way."

"But of all things, they all look flimsy."

The man looked disappointed. In front of the oak barrel sat a group of ugly impressions.

"Well, rules are rules, but...They were picking a fight with a few street vendors this afternoon.”

"Picking a fight?"

"Yes, the guards came in a minute to sort it out."

The man coughed as if he was embarrassed.

"I'm a little narrow-minded, so shouldn't we all enjoy it together since it's a festival? Don't you think so?"

He then asked Julia and Eusto as if they wanted to have a go at it. Seeing the bruises on his forehead, he seemed to have already challenged himself.

'Well, they didn't do anything bad. As he said, it's better to enjoy the festival.’

As an emperor, I wanted as many people to enjoy it as possible. Julia checked her senses by clenching and unfolding her fists several senses.

You have to be careful not to show your blackness. It's a bare-handed game.’

When he saw it, Eusto sighed and opened his mouth.

"I'll do it."

"Huh?"

"You didn't mean to go unnoticed."

Eusto strode out into the square with the horse. The man smiled at it and asked Yulia.

"Lover?"

Julia shook her head right at the words. It was an awkward question to hear today.

"No, I'm just a colleague."

The man coughed and shut up at Julia's knife-like answer.

"I've never seen you before."

The man sitting in the middle showed his discomfort while looking at Eusto.

"I don't think there's a knight in the city I don't know. Oh, are they guards like sandals or something?"

He stood up again and again today, stamping his feet, apparently annoyed by the guards.

"That's great, it's annoying. The guards don't want to get in here."

Of course, Eusto raised his hand without replying to a man's words. Needless to say, Eusto raised his hand as if to go at it, and he frowned.

"That cheeky bastard!”

"You look like a handful, brother."

"Show us your skills!”

Behind them, their group shouted Eusto like teasing him. He stretched his shoulders wide and shrugged his neck from side to side.

"Don't cry when you lose!"

“…….”

"Wash your fingers at the party we're having here in five minutes!"

He jumped on Eusto at the same time as he said it. Unlike his rugged body, he was quite fast. With a flick of fists, he rushed into Eusto's face. But Eusto lightly blocked his fist with one hand and grabbed his arm and knocked it over.With a thud, the man's mouth burst out of breath without even screaming. Eusto looked down at him in a cold way.

Cheers burst out of the hall.

"Cheer up, driver!"

"Way to go! Black hair!"

The voice and Eusto's eyes seemed to make him uncomfortable.

"Hey, you punk...…!”

The man stood up dumbfounded and rushed back to Eusto.

Eusto checked the clock. It was a minute until five.

"What Your Majesty wants."

Then I had to win for sure. Eusto blocked his fist from rushing in, this time hitting the plexus correctly. The man's body just fell over.

It was an obvious victory for Eusto by any standards. With him, the bell rang for five. There was a moment of silence in the square. But soon the man who appeared to be the brewery owner applauded.

"The black-haired man is the winner of this festival!"

Cheers burst out. The owners of the breweries and restaurants told Eusto that he had plenty of booze and food. Eusto, of course, said to eat with everyone as Julia wanted, and cheers erupted once again.

Eusto planned to leave with Julia until then, but was caught by people excited about the festival. Sitting surrounded by people, Julia and Eusto were forced to mingle.

"You guys, that's amazing!"

"Which order are you from? They have names in the city with their fists!"

"You look great, driver!"

People applauded Eusto for his overwhelming performance.

"I thought I'd be stuck with this drink this year, thanks to you guys.”

The man who spoke to the two seemed satisfied.

"That was a great technique! That's amazing, that's great!"

At first, the interest in Eusto gradually turned to Yulia.

"Are you a knight?"

"Yes, sir."

At Julia's words, the old woman smiled and said she recalled the old days.

"My sister was a knight, too. The driver reminds me of my sister wielding a sword."

"Oh, here we go again. The story of my grandmother, sister, and driver."

The granddaughter who came out with the grandmother smiled and dried her. Julia smiled at the look.

I got along for a while, answering people's questions in moderation, glossing over them. I thought I should try harder to keep these people smiling.

It was good to enjoy the festival, but I was a little tired of being surrounded by people and pretending to be a knight.

The two escaped a moderately drunken crowd. To rest for a while, I sat by the stairs and looked around. There were loud noises and lights embroidered with festivals on the darkened streets.

This is where people live, too, really.

Julia looked half-sentimental.

It was then.

"…please don't come back, don't remember."

It was a voice with a cool tingling of the spine.

'That's a voice I've heard somewhere...…!’

With a sense of deja vu, Julia looked up. A woman wearing a hoodie passed by quickly.

"Your Majesty?"

Julia jumped up and Eusto followed and called her.

"Wait!"

Julia tried to chase a woman by saying so. But at that moment, I heard a loud scream somewhere.

"Screaming!"

Julia turned her head to the side where she heard the screams reflexively.

"Sa, save me!”

I hesitated for a moment. Maybe he could get a clue to coming here.

"Argh!"

But a painful scream hit my ear once again. Julia weighed in her mouth and suppressed questions about women. Right now, I had to save someone in danger.As Julia ran reflexively, Eusto ran after her.

The place where the voice was heard was a little remote, and it was a bar mostly used by mercenaries and knights. When the two arrived, people were seen buzzing around the pub.

"Well, stop it!"

It was a voice that just screamed.

'Your face...'

The woman's face, who looked like an employee of a bar, was in serious condition because she wore an apron. His cheeks were swollen red, and his lips burst into blood.

"Stop it, it's not all because you think we're funny!"

"Have you seen anything funny... Ugh!"

"Then why didn't you laugh when you took our order? Huh?"

"I've never...…!”

"Never have. When those guards or something come in, they'll be soft, and we won't be much of a deal?”

"No, please, no!"

The man grabbed the woman's head as if he was annoyed. The woman cried and begged her to stop while shaking her hair. In addition, six tough-looking men were extremely drunk and threw and smashed the pub.

'No, they're...….’

They were the ones who had just lost to Eusto. Apparently, Eusto evolved here. The guards seemed to run up against it, but it seemed they were really quite fist-wielding in numbers.

Julia let out a small sigh.

But it's not a big deal. The problem is…….'

It was that it was not easy to protect women who were held like hostages by using violence if provoked prematurely.

When he saw Julia's expression, Eusto immediately opened his mouth. I was roughly expecting what she was thinking.

"Your Majesty, let me draw your attention."

"Wouldn't it be better for me to deal with it? Something happened a while ago, so I'm sure you'll look down on me."

Eusto had already beaten them once. But Eusto shook his head.

"It's easy for you to handle, but they're still tough-handed. I will stop her, and you will protect her."

Eusto pointed to a woman by saying so. She tried to stop the rattling yet indiscriminately assaulting the guards.

'That would be efficient.’

Of course Julia was strong. But now that Eusto is the captain of the Guard, I thought it would be uncomfortable for Eusto to let her fight and back off.

"Eusto, believe me."

"Yes, leave it to me."

As soon as it was decided, Eusto immediately hit the person in the back who was making a mess. One of the groups collapsed as if he were stuck in a sudden attack.

"Ugh, well... no, you!!"

The man, who was using violence against women, recognized Eusto's face and broadened his impression.

"Ha, it's really bad luck, do I look ridiculous just because I won once?!”

The man grabbed the woman by the hair and tried to reach out to Eusto. Julia took advantage of the bird whose eyes were on Eusto and hit him hard.

"Argh!"

The man screamed and pulled out of his hand due to the sudden shock. Julia didn't miss that moment, kicked the man over the back and protected the woman.

“…….”

Momentarily, the inside of the pub was in silence. It was because other men who were approaching Yusto stopped as if they were reading the face of the fallen.

'He's the boss.’

Julia looked at the waiter, hiding behind her back. Then she shook her head to Yulia and whispered."Uh, run away. If you're here...….”

"It's all right."

"Oh, it's not okay, no. The authors usually go on a rampage... It's hard to stop."

She was worried about Julia, she was also badly hurt.

"I, Zee, am really fine. If you make a wish, they'll let you go. So run away...…!”

Julia protected her more like hiding behind her back.

So this isn't the first time you've gone berserk.’

In short, it meant that security management in the capital was not intact.

While Julia was protecting her, a man who fell down raised himself with a groan. As soon as he woke up, he rushed towards Julia.

"Hey, you, motherf*cker!"

Julia immediately posed to fight back at him, but sooner than that, Eusto blocked him.

Eusto blocked the fist of the man who was straight at Julia. Eusto literally spilled his power and knocked him over.

"If you need someone, I will. Don't touch him."

"Ha, this guy, Lee Boo-woon?"

This time the man stood up straight from his seat. Eusto whispered quietly to Yulia in the meantime.

"Is it okay if you don't die?"

"Yes."

As soon as Julia's permission was granted, Eusto approached him directly, this time without waiting for a man. Then he pulled the knife from his waist.

"Let's see how far you've come with pretending to be good!"

The man rushed to Eusto and winked at other men. Then those who were chuckling and chuckling at the same time approached Eusto.

"Uh, uh, what do I do?"

The employee behind Julia tried to go out as if he had to beg even now.

"It's all right, he's strong."

Stopping her, Julia confirmed the men's movements. The confrontation in the square was less due to the rapid passing, but now there is certainly a difference in skills.

"The endurance looks good, but that's it.’

Eusto even looked slim compared to them, who were so big. So even after losing once, he seemed to look at it more ridiculously and rush in. He seemed to think that he could win simply because there were much more in numbers. Each looked at Eusto with a look that seemed to hunt down his well-used weapon.

But Eusto gave them indifferent eyes as if to come at any time.

"You're making fun of us, aren't you? Huh, now you're ignoring me. Do you think you're the strongest after one win?"

"You'd better kill him, brother!"

The leader nodded at someone's words. But Eusto didn't blink with his arms crossed. The men got angry and jumped at him.

Eusto lowered his body to the ground and knocked him down. They were unarmed by hitting the hand with a weapon at a speed they did not even recognize.

'Oh, that's...'

It was a skill that Julia used well.

"Who the f*ck is this guy?"

When the weapon fell, they became more angry and stretched their fists at him. Eusto grabbed and hit the arm of the first person to come, and the one running from behind kicked the ship hard.

"Gasp!"

This time, he seemed to be kicking with little control of his strength. Those who were driven by great power could not stand up with only a groan. Those who ran one after the other also fell to one side by side.

The leader stopped for a moment looking at the person who foamed in his mouth and collapsed. For a moment the corners of his mouth rose dimly. I heard a series of unpleasant laughter from him. At the same time, he turned sharply and rushed towards Yulia.Protecting the waiter, Julia posed to blow him off, but her hands were still there.

"Argh!"

More quickly than that, Eusto came straight up and kicked the leader's side and blew it away.

"He said I'd do it."

This time, however, the head of the pack groaned, probably because he didn't let it slide.

Eusto spoke coldly, looking down at him. It was a really icy face. Even when she was forced to hit Julia, she looked cold and scary, which was invisible to her. It seemed more like anger at themselves for failing to block the leader's attempt to reach out to Yulia.

The whole crowd was lying on the floor. Those who looked around the pub cheered.

"Wow, that's great!”

"How can you knock those filthy bastards down so easily!”

Everyone seemed to have been hit once. Julia spoke quietly, as if to inform him that the situation was over.

"I have nothing to touch.”

Her light tone slowly loosened Eusto's face. Soon there was a faint smile on Yulia, relieved as if it was a relief.

It was his face that Julia knew well about.

Then, Eusto called in a fallen guard to detain them.

Julia asked the waiter why he was in this condition. The waiter opened his mouth with relief, perhaps thinking she was a security guard driver.

"They're originally knights. But when I was fired from the Knights after the war, I came to drink every day...….”

"You couldn't keep him out of the store?”

"That's... so I won't let anyone else in...….”

It was bad, it wasn't a fancy pub. Just looking at the employees' behavior, I could feel that they were doing business to make a living. But threatened to disrupt business for them.

"Sometimes I get the blame like that, but if I beg him to do something wrong, he's gone.….”

"Today?"

"Well, I frowned for a second…… because they told me to drink alcohol with ash...….”

"What?"

"It used to be just a mix of liquor…….”

The more I heard it, the worse it was. They were being violent against employees who were weaker than themselves. While Julia was determined to punish them severely, she realized that this had to be fundamentally resolved.

'It's a big deal to lose a job...….’

However, in the case of the authors, it was difficult to understand. Not everyone who was a knight or a mercenary during the war went astray like that. There were far more people who changed jobs and lived a healthy life.

But we can't ignore those who don't want to change. Because there are victims like this.’

When I looked around the city in the wake of the audit system, I felt strongly that I should solve the security problem.

"Report to the security...….”

"Because I know them all. They told us to put up with it...….”

The waiter hesitated and talked. Julia bit her teeth hard at the word.

The capital security was originally handled by the Knights of the Duke of Pez, and recently selected and managed some of the guards. This Thanksgiving Day was headed by the Knights of the Duke of Marcus, led by Eusto.

"But after the death of Duke Fez, I was fine for a while, but today I suddenly got very angry...….”

Julia got the hang of it at the waiter's words. Originally, when Duke Fez was managing public security, the knights knew each other, so they let it go easy.

This was the problem.

'Cause the people in charge of security are not part of the country. Of course, managing it yourself won't solve the problem perfectly.'At least it would have been much better than now, when discipline varies from knight to knight. Some chivalry said they condoned the weak even if they touched them to relieve stress. Corruption left by the Duke of Fez also affected this place.

Julia, who heard the rough story, rose from her seat.

"Don't worry, they won't find a bar again."

"Really? Thank you. You are our benefactor!"

The employee bowed his head thankfully. I'm glad I survived thanks to you." Julia laughed bitterly at the action. I was sorry I couldn't find a way to stop it sooner.

Leaving the pub, she directed Yusto straight away.

"Eusto."

"Yes."

"As soon as Thanksgiving is over, we'll officially set up a security guard for the capital.”

"I'll be ready."

He answered immediately. Best practices were needed that do not allow for or corruption.

And one more thing, the question remained.

'I haven't done it for a while and I did it today...… and was originally a knight of the Duke of Fez.'

No matter how much I thought about it, I felt that it might be related to the woman who left strange words to her. The timing and appearance seemed to be overly organized. As if you're trying to check something on yourself and stop him from chasing it.

'Pump!' A big hand slapped her on the head.

The rough stone floor scratched the cheek. She slowly rose to her feet, enduring the familiar pain. Slowly looking up, her father, King Eaton, looked at her with a pathetic face.

"You killed Duke Fez, Guyana."

“…….”

"How dare you break this father's words, what difference does that make?"

Guyana gazed at him, unfocused on the words. The king kicked his tongue and threw a magic tool in front of her.

"Check it out for yourself, if the kid is really back."

"…yes, dad."

Saying so, Guyana is wearing a hoodie. This was an opportunity for her.

"Do you recognize me?"

Guyana expected it at will. Because she had a desperate wish. It occurred to me that the only thing in the world that could fulfill that wish was Emperor Yulia.

"Don't make a mistake twice."

The king said behind her, who turned around in a hoodie. My body hardened reflexively. But she replied, clenching her fist.

"Yes, dad."

I really didn't mean to make a mistake twice.

I'm not going to be swayed by my father's wishes this time. I'll make you regret turning back time.’

Guyana pressed her lips and bumped her foot. With him, the magic flow led her to the imperial capital of Mila.

'…can we meet?’

I thought I'd like to meet you. Her father, King Eaton, sent her away because the emperor had plans to come out.

We still have to tell them there's a dangerous person around.’

To do that, she had to recognize herself. Although his father would be monitoring his actions now, he could have taken any amount of risk.

Emperor, if you have access to Yulia.

She used her power to find Julia, who was felt in the village.

She was the owner of 'control'. Controlling power was the power to control others' disposal. It wasn't so hard to find her because it was none other than Yulia who used the power the longest.

'A little more...'.’

After confirming that Julia was falling into a deserted place, she approached slowly. Every step of the way was tense. How much will she remember.Did he think of everything? Then I'm sure you'll...….

Thinking so, Julia approached the stairs where she sat. She was going to tell her everything she said two years ago in this world time when she put a spell on her body.

But the mouth didn't open.

'Dad……!'

Yeah, the clever man couldn't have let himself off so easily. Still, I had to leave a hint.

Guyana spoke to her as best she could.

"…please don't come back, don't remember."

At that moment, I felt a strong gaze stuck in the back of my head.

Do you want me to follow you?’

I hope so. With Julia, the power of his father, King Eaton, will not reach me. But at that moment, a scream was heard nearby.

'Ah...…'

Guyana realized. That nothing can be achieved with this defiance of his own.

'Yes, of course you did...….’

King Eaton couldn't have behaved so poorly. After liberating Julia's body and losing Duke Pez, he would not trust a single grain.

Trying to chase her, she immediately turned to the bar.

He was like that. An emperor who wants to protect others and cares about his own people.

Wearing a deep hood, Guyana chewed her lips as she saw Julia running away. It seemed to have dried up and blood burst again, but I didn't care.

As if he had lingering regrets, he turned his head and walked forward.

'Still, I checked. She's... really back.’

Then I could cheer up a little more. She would do it on her own, but it would be less difficult if she held on.

Three steps, two steps, one step.

As soon as she gathered her feet together, her figure disappeared from the streets of the capital, Mila. She moved in a magic stream equipped with it. No matter how many times I rode it, my feet touched the cold stone chamber by the time I felt sick.

One side of my stomach hurt. Guyana put up with pain and stiffened her face. After taking off his hood, he pushed open the stone door.

"I'm home, dad."

Deep in the stone chamber, the woman bowed deeply toward her father, who sat on a cold roof.

Clink!

A glass flew right next to the woman. A piece of glass shattered against the wall left a thin scar on her face.

“…….”

But Guyana remained silent as if it were familiar.

"Why did you procrastinate? Did you want to be stepped on?"

As expected, he was a quick-witted person. She denied it with a face that she had never dreamed of.

"No."

"Don't try to make a fool of yourself."

“…….”

Guyana just shut her lips tight. It was a terrible time. I wonder if the hook on his body will come off.

'No, he's coming.’

It was none other than Yulia who taught me that it would be.

"That's a hat."

King Eaton clicked his tongue in discontent.

"You can't even do what you know how to do, so you make things like this? I can't believe you brought back!”

I heard the sound of his approaching footsteps. Standing tall in front of him, he pulled her chin with his fingertips. Pulled up without resistance, but he looked into her eyes and frowned.

There was a spirit of defiance and hatred. He just raised his hand and slapped her on the cheek.Clap!

A small body collapsed to the side, thin by strong force. He clicked his tongue once again.

"I can't give you a chance."

"…I'm sorry, dad."

She asked for forgiveness that she didn't mean. He sighed as if he didn't like it.

"I've got nothing but useless hope."

He looked at his daughter sitting on the floor and said contemptuously.

"Do you want me to be disappointed again? How come I don't know this is all for you!"

“…….”

It was a load of crap, a load of bollocks.

I was devastated once, and I hated my father who told me to believe it. Guyana, the great evil girl. The person who put such a grand stigma in front of his name.

King Eaton spoke to her in an irritating tone.

"That's not why I turned it back, even the dumbest of you should know."

"…yes."

She quietly closed her eyes, falling to the floor. This has been a hell of a hell of a hell of a place. The struggle he could do was hurt, but the salvation was a long way off. Nevertheless, I could not give up because I could see the light of hope.

She answered again, swallowing her bitterness.

"…yes, dad."

Then the king of Eton, who had already fallen, stroked her head with a caring look on his face.

"Yes, that's a good boy, Guyana."

"…yes."

Guyana closed her eyes with a mind that she didn't want to see or hear anything.

'I shouldn't have been born in the first place.’

I didn't have it because I wanted to have the ability to manipulate people. It would have been better if it had been a trifling ability like his own brothers who now do not exist in the world.

'So, please, find me quickly... Come and kill me!"

Guyana bowed her head as if she had succumbed to King Eaton. Brownish gray hair curled down.

I didn't want to breathe anymore because it was really terrible and painful. Even such little freedom was not with Guyana. So she bet everything on her who she had disgraced.

To her who would originally be the greatest emperor.

As soon as the holiday was over, Julia moved to deal with the assault of a retired engineer she met on holiday.

Originally, it was rare for the emperor to handle such an incident himself. But Julia decided to make an example of herself before them.

It's a warning to those who think they're going to get away with it as it has been.

As she expected, when Julia entered the courtroom with Eusto, they sat condescending. They looked as if they were innocent.

"Hey, I don't know if it's a guard or something, but why don't you just let it go?”

"I'm gonna pay a fine. How much do you need? Huh?"

They yelled at the guards who tied them up.

"Hey, how long are you gonna hold on to that rotten rope? Hey, you know me, don't you?

The leader once shouted at the man he knew when he was a knight. The Guard simply did not respond to the sound they were making with a stiff face.

"How long will it last anyway? The war is over? Hahaha! Don't believe me. You're not doing what the emperor says, are you?

Those tied to the leader's words burst into laughter.

"Oh, brother. What the hell would they know? That's why you're here doing your job."

"I know. The Emperor is also in this crazy country, and I don't know how long it's going to take.""You're right. There's a rumor going around, and they're all deaf."

"So, just do it roughly and release it, you can pay for it and keep a book." Do you do business for a day or two?"

The leader patted the shin of the guard in front of him and talked.

"Oh, I'll give you some high-level information, so shouldn't you make sure you're on the right track? Not this emperor, but a proper monarch.”

Julia heard it silently outside the door.

'Thank you for making such a fuss.’

I was grateful for the assurance that there was someone behind them.

As Julia slammed in the door, the leader frowned at her.

"You...! You're a badass guard!"

He tried to rush out toward Julia and was stopped by the guards next to him.

"Hey, you're the highest man in the world?”

He judged so by looking at the articles that came in with Eusto and Julia.

"It must be a d*mn country, too. Brother, when you see him so humble and so high."

He showed no sign of fear at all. He condescended with a face that he never dreamed would be punished.

"Do you know who's behind us? Don't you think you should be good at it? If you want to save your life."

"LOL, LOL, I know."

Julia was dumbfounded and looked at them. Then they recklessly thought Julia was frightened.

"Brother, I think that little Visil is frightened."

"I guess so, I can't do anything without that guy next to me."

They burst into laughter, saying so. Julia smiled, raising the corners of her mouth at them.

You're not even awake, let alone reflect.’

Knowing how strong she was on Julia's countenance, the Guard hardened with tension. Those who spoke ill of the emperor in front of their eyes were extremely annoyed, but they were sympathetic.

You're digging your own grave.’

Half of it was blocked for them. However, he went on a rampage, hitting the body of the guards who blocked him without even knowing the situation.

"Oh, come on, let go of me! I don't know how precious he is, but isn't he the highest?"

"I guess this is the only way to preserve our seats."

The crowd laughed frivolously, responding to the leader's words.

We'll have to keep it quiet so we can have a trial.’

They were weak to the strong, strong to the weak. You can keep your mouth shut just by revealing that you're the emperor.

'I don't feel the need to be so gentle.’

Julia nodded as if to let go of the guards. The guards then agonized over Julia and Eusto for a moment, and carefully let go of their hands.

Julia, with one hand on her waist, nodded with the other as if to come to them.

"Huh, there's pride in what it looks like."

"What will he do with his body?"

The leader shrugged, and came up to Yulia with a touch.

"It's a waste of a scratch on this pretty face, pretty face. Why don't you deal with me now?”

"That's right, brother will be nice to you."

With him, a loud laugh spread within the courtroom.

Eusto's brow wriggled at the vulgar words. On the verge of going out at any moment, Julia stopped him as if not to touch him.

"That's a lot to say.”

Julia looked at him as if she were bored.

"How long are you going to babble when they say they'll deal with you in personally."…what?"

Julia laughed her head off at him. Then he looked at her in a ridiculous and ridiculous way.

"You've lost your cowardice, I was going to let you off the hook because your face was half and half.”

He stretched his fist at Julia's plexus, saying so.

Like this!

But the half-controlled fist was lightly blocked by her hand. I tried pushing in bewilderment, but I never dreamed of it. All he could see was Julia's raised corners of her mouth.

It also circled the world for a while, and was thrown to the floor with a thud.

"Uh……?"

With the leader's mysterious voice, those who giggle around him also shut up.

"You... you!!"

He sprang up and stretched his legs properly to Julia this time. Julia dodged lightly and immediately punched at his plexus.

"Gasp!"

He rolled up his big body and wriggled on the floor. She looked up at Julia, gripping her plexus with breathtaking pain.

The blue snow looked at him icy.

"You're talking about someone like you, aren't you?”

"…haha."

He tried to lift himself up as if he didn't understand he had fallen, but he couldn't. Tears and runny nose ran down my rugged face in pain.

Julia looked at the other group as it was. As if it's always a go at it.

They alternated between Julia and the leader and looked around. But panic-stricken brains were the way to make the wrong decisions.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

They rushed at her in unison, screaming.

I don't know if the article was true.’

Even his posture was sloppy. Julia kicked the running ship and struck the other person on the back of the neck with her hand. The other two were also placed side by side with the head with a clattering sound.

"Gasp!"

He grabbed the heads of the two and threw both heads into the air, jumping into the air.

“…….”

The man who clenched his fist clumsily in the back immediately doubted his eyes. Because I could see her leg jumping full of vision.

He was struck on the shoulder by Julia's heel and collapsed. As it was, large men were scattered on the court floor as if they were piled up one by one.

"Ugh……"

Among them were those who cried in pain they had never tasted before tasted.

Julia clicked her tongue at them as if she were pathetic.

"You're no match for a warm-up.”

Thinking these men were knights, she stomped forward, indeed. When Eusto winked at the guards, they raised a late example.

"See you, His Majesty, Master of the Empire!"

It was a louder voice than usual. To the Guard, the Emperor's immediate army, she was a pride. The scene of the emperor knocking down those who laughed at her was full of morale.

Scattered on the floor, barely conscious, their faces turned pale at the sound.

"Hua, Emperor, Emperor?"

I felt like I was waking up.

"Why would the Emperor come here?"

It was resentment that rose at the moment. Along with him came the young man who said he would reward them thickly if they did well.

'You never said that!’

But it was already spilled water. Kneeling on their knees in a polite manner at the hands of the guards, they could not make a word of protest.

It was the same with the emperor's direct punishment, but it hurt so much that I could barely breathe.

Julia looked at them and ruled."I sentence you to labor in Cilus provincial labor sentence.

The province of Silus was the hardest and toughest place to live in in the empire. The annual temperature difference was close to 100 degrees, so it was hot in summer and cold in winter. Among them, the period of time to fall into the category of normal temperature was extremely short. There was even a saying in the empire, "I'd rather die than go to Silus."

Their faces, hearing Julia's verdict, were tarnished with fear as if they had been sentenced to death.

"…I've never heard anything like this……!”

The leader, who managed to regain his breath, murmured.

"The man, the man, said he would reward us…….”

The leader now realized that what he had caught was a rotten line. Julia kicked her tongue and ordered them to drag away. They struggled as they were held by the guards.

"It's unfair, it's unfair! We're not the real sinners, we're the young ones!!"

Julia frowned for a moment at the words. The word "young man" caught my mind.

"What do you mean a young man?”

When asked by Julia, he opened his mouth with a face that he was caught.

"Wow, he's the one who told us to!"

"What else comes to mind? If you answer well, I'll consider correcting the verdict.”

The leader's face was elated by Julia's words and quickly became muddy.

"…Mo, I don't know. Young man...! Young man in cape! I can tell you this!"

But he also seemed to realize that having a head doesn't answer. He said in a black face, 'Young man... He was a young man.only murmured ….'

You don't know anything.’

Julia beckoned to the Guard. They were captured and dragged out. A vicious cry followed suit.

"Sigh..."

Julia, who returned to her office after the ruling, sighed tiredly.

'There are so many places to touch.’

It was as expected. The decomposition of the Duke of Fez would not have cleaned up at once.

To be honest, I went down with a light heart because it was Thanksgiving. But I didn't know I'd meet such grumpy people there.

'You can't take it out like that just because you lost your job in the first place.’

I thought it would have been better to knock on the gate and protest the emperor to give up some jobs.

'And when I heard...….’

Julia frowned at the men's words. They said in their own mouths that they did so because they had faith.

"It looks like you're decorating this and that in a ruined country."

It was also a natural reaction. Even if ruined, Julia did not kill all the royalty. Those who surrendered were kept alive, even though they watched.

'It's too dangerous.’

"There has never been an example in history that saved the masters of the ruinous nation.’

Of course the servants dissuaded her. He said it would definitely be a seed of discord. However, Julia has firmly drawn a line on this point.

It's not that I don't know about the risks. But I want to embrace Jim as much as I can. Does Jim look like he can't handle it?’

The servants shut their mouths at the words. Because I expected them to say that if they knew Yulia.

'I think it's wonderful, and I think it's great, but...….’

I thought it might be more difficult than expected. Julia, in particular, even died.

After that, the rest suffered considerably from King Eaton, who had fled, or other countries that had attacked during the break.

"I'll have to track Eton and other royalty who ran away, but...….’There were too few clues.

I think it's Eton, but all I know is that he's a young man. When the enemy tracked it with clues, it stimulated the surrendered royal family.

Of course it was able to contain. It was possible, but...….

The country can't last long just by suppressing it. There's bound to be a limit.’

It was also a story that came out in the history of one's learning. It was necessary to move more carefully. I shouldn't have provoked them unnecessarily now.

If you spend time using conciliatory measures, it will gradually converge, and it was also your wish to lead there. Above all, it was the wish of Julia, the owner of this body.

'Of course I'm not her, but I want to achieve as much as she can.’

I thought it was courtesy as the person who occupied this body. It was also my personality that I couldn't close my eyes if I didn't know. In addition, the direction she was drawing was not that different from her own.

'There were times when I knew and struggled at work...….’

It wasn't that I didn't think about it, but there were more pictures of Lee as other temples were looking for ways to do well.

He's pretending to be nice.

She sighed deeply.

'It's a long way to go, really.'

But a smile crept around Julia's mouth. I thought it would be hard, but I thought I could do it if I expected the sense of accomplishment I had achieved.

'Then let's catch up on our work.’

I took three days off for Thanksgiving. Of course, there were a lot of people who took a break elsewhere, but not everyone played. In addition, he was away in the morning to make a ruling. Julia sighed for nothing, looking at more documents than usual.

I think the center is a little organized, so you should pay attention to the place where you belong, not Lanchea.’

Then Cyril brought a bunch of documents and put them down in front of her.

"You've been through a lot since morning, Your Majesty."

"No, it was my job. Why don't you say you're looking out for something more than that?"

Because I spent all my time in the morning because of the ruling. But Cyril shook her head with an unexpectedly normal face.

"I thought it was rather good."

"Really?"

"Those who thought it would be okay if you did so would refrain from doing so.

Julia sighed loudly at Cyril's words. It seemed to be getting dark for a while.

Cyril calmly continued to report to Yulia.

"Some people have come to their senses over the last Duke of Pez, but there are a lot more who haven't."

Cyril said so, pointing to the envelope at the top of the document. The letter petition was clearly written on the surface of the envelope.

'Another jerk...….’

Julia frowned. With one busy ending, I seemed to see a way forward. There seemed to be a lot of gates to overcome for the country to stabilize in the future. Among them, the big mountain would have been to repair the corrupt.

Julia opened the petition with a small sigh. The fact that Cyril brought it himself meant that the emperor needed to come forward and set an example.
