ALL NOVEL chapter 118
118 – Opening (1)
“One month and half until the total lunar eclipse.”
A dragon’s face was drawn on a flag waving in the wind.
The dragon symbolizes the imperial family and Evangelium.
Heat was rising in the square where thousands of knights were lined up.
Undisturbed posture, what stood in the eyes of the knights was cold anger above all else.
The emperor, who was looking at it happily, opened his mouth.
“I can’t wait any longer.”
I relied on an individual named Evan Fried. He relied on Theo Rad, the head of the Imperial Knights, and the Crown Prince.
However, after telling the three to deal with the ever-increasing extinction, I couldn’t just sit back and watch it.
It was the first time in 20 years that he appeared in the front instead of the crown prince.
The knights, with more morale than ever before, set their eyes on the emperor.
The cloak embroidered with gold thread fluttered. What he wore inside was a red and white uniform,
It was more colorful than any other clothes. The clothes, more splendid than any other clothes, caught the sunlight and scattered light in all directions.
The majesty of the emperor, the highest of the Empire, the most dignified under the sun looked at the knights.
Thousands of people. Among the knights who reached Expert, I summoned all those owned by the imperial family…
How helpful can they be? In the end, it was the Masters’ job to announce the end of everything.
However, it was important for these knights to move forward.
An all-out war with annihilation, the empire, which had barely regained power after decades of time, was once again standing on the edge.
Fall down and collapse completely, or balance and stand up again.
While thinking about the matter, the emperor finally opened his mouth while holding the sword at his waist.
“I will not tell you to sacrifice your life for the glory of Evangelium. It’s greedy, it’s selfish. The opponent of annihilation is not an opponent to fight lightly. I am the emperor of this empire, and I am the only one who calls myself a burden. I can’t ask you guys to fight for the Shui Empire right now. Black magicians are wicked. They are not beings that fight fairly and squarely like the monsters they usually deal with, but they consider human lives more insignificant than insects.”
The audience fell silent. Immediately after the emperor’s words,
The emperor smiled at the atmosphere as if he had been splashed with cold water and put his fist on his chest.
“Extinction is the existence of those who regard life as insignificant, raping and killing your family members. The village will burn, and the innumerable things you hold dear will be scattered and crumbled like sand. Even if you come back with a battered body, there will be nothing to welcome you, only emptiness. However.”
The emperor paused and looked up at the sky.
The cumulus clouds that briefly covered the sun had disappeared, and the sun’s rays were pointing straight at him.
“That would be the story when you guys were defeated.”
Defeat was something that could always come.
As long as there was a game, they were closer than anything else, and a thrilling victory was always followed by a devastating defeat.
Kung- The heart beats. The beat that makes you realize that you are alive at this moment. The emperor twisted the corner of his mouth.
How absurd it is to be asked not to fight for the empire as the emperor of the empire.
However, this was just a means to make everyone desperate.
Because he was the highest being, he could do it. Kung-Emperor pounded his fist on his chest, and at the same time the knights stamped their feet.
Dozens, hundreds, thousands of footsteps echo as one.
A spreading vibration reached the sky, and small quivering clouds scattered to reveal a perfectly blue sky.
“If there is someone to protect, fight for the person to protect. If there is no one to defend and only honor remains, fight for that honor. It’s different from before. If you lose, it’s over. The empire will be ruined, everything will collapse, and all that will remain will be rivers stained with blood. If you win, all you will be given is the honor of receiving respect from people for the rest of your life.”
Honor, the expressions of the knights gradually began to become serious. There is no back. There is nowhere to retreat.
It was a desperate cry from the emperor, and the knights felt their hearts beating as they entrusted the mission to themselves.
Exultation was mixed with the sound of heavy breathing.
“It is reckless. And not dangerous No one can guarantee your survival. Some of you will die, some of you will get hurt. Someone next to you might die. You yourself standing there right now may die. Neither the Empire nor even myself can guarantee your survival.”
The knights nodded. The black magicians were strong.
It is very rare for an expert individual to defeat a warlock.
If it had not been for Evan Fried, who was born with dragon blood, many knights would have been sacrificed to deal with the warlock.
But, can you escape from this place?
Even if I ran away from this place, it was clear that no one would make fun of me for being a coward.
Because what the emperor asserted was dangerous was fighting extinction itself.
But none of the articles took their steps.
In the plaza, so quiet that they could hear each other’s heartbeats, all the knights just widened their eyes until the emperor opened his mouth.
Honor, joy after victory. Even if there was no reward, it was good.
At this time when the empire that ruled the continent for a thousand years is at stake,
The fact that he could raise this empire with his own power made the hearts of the knights beat like crazy.
The rapid flow of blood caused excitement. Blood and magic flowing through the body.
Seeing the expression of the knights, the emperor smiled happily. And after he smiled, he opened his mouth with a slightly more serious expression.
“Would you still fight?”
No one answered, but it was after they all made up their minds.
Not for the sake of the empire, but just to protect what I have.
Human’s primal emotions and material desires. Provoking that, the emperor smiled a little candidly and raised his sword toward the sky.
“Then, go ahead.”
The sun floats equally on everyone, so each knight had a hope in his heart.
Soon, a burst of cheers began to fill the Evangelium area of the ecliptic.
One day, a month and a half left until the total lunar eclipse, an all-out war with extinction began.
#
“It is a war.”
Evan opened his mouth. The war started much earlier than the original history,
Since it couldn’t take long, Evan was also preparing to go out.
Unlike the subjugation of Hatan and Roman, the first place to strike was, of course, a large number of people would be mobilized.
This time he thought it would be quite easy since he was also a master.
But…
“Are you that anxious?”
“…Is it obvious?”
“Yes, very much.”
Hmm. Irene swallowed her saliva, glanced at Evan, and then let out a deep sigh.
I didn’t say anything, but I still feel uneasy.
The reason the emperor declared an all-out war toward annihilation was purely because his own faction supported him.
Evan’s words that he wants to completely end the extermination before the child is born, and his own will that eventually nodded to his words.
Thus the all-out war had begun, but I couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
What would happen if he fought with a sword instead?
But to fight like that, my stomach, which was already slightly swollen, bothered me.
“What does your father say these days?”
“I hope so. You were scolded that much, but every time you see me, you just end up clicking your tongue.”
“Tongue? I said so…Really.”
At Irene’s words, Evan smiled heartily.
A few days ago Duke, no. How uncomfortable was the answer to Garot Yuris, whom he now calls his father-in-law.
She almost passed out in the middle of the story, so even just thinking about the memory made her heart beat.
Of course, she didn’t do much of anything wrong.
It was Irene who said it was a safe day, She
She was Irene who ignored what she had been sleeping on once and for all. She
It was Irene who tripped herself into her bed.
But she was just a little bit dangerous to herself for appearing after the whole process had passed.
A premarital pregnancy, hiding it from her father-in-law, and even twins in her first pregnancy.
She might have thought that if she was Garot Julis, she would be Irene’s lover, and she wouldn’t do her sword dance.
Of course, the Duke’s anger did not last a day.
It was because Irene, who appeared with a frown on her face saying that it was noisy, bruised the duke for several hours.
-Are you trying to lock him up again, Father?
What was the duke’s expression when he heard that?
Evan recalled the image of the duke, who was shaking his head helplessly from being completely white, and looked at Irene with a bitter smile. She
She was still a father and daughter on a rocky basis. When will we be able to shake off all of each other’s resentment?
She didn’t know that it might not be resolved even after her whole life.
Still, when the child is born… I wonder if she will do well as her grandfather.
“By the way, what happened to the elves?”
“Ah, an elf.”
Recalling her elf, Irene glanced at Evan’s face and opened her mouth.
She was an elf, commonly known as a race of beauty, but the elf male she met was far worse than Evan.
Even considering that it was covered with bean pods, Lopena also didn’t like her more than I thought.
What should I do if the elven women seduce Evan?
Seeing her troubled expression and tilting her head at Evan, Irene smiled slightly and continued her words slowly.
“Maybe we will meet soon and negotiate. This time I just watched from a distance, but now that winter is deep, they can’t stay in the forest. I’ll have to deal with it myself. Take you.”
“Are you meeting the world tree?”
At those words, Evan quietly looked at the scenery beyond her window.
A huge tree towering alone over Mount Verdun. Eldrasil, called the sapling of the World Tree,
Wouldn’t it be possible to know the identity of the memories that are being revived these days in that place?
If there is any negotiation, it will probably be after the Hatan subjugation…
I want to see the world tree as soon as possible. Evan thought about it and she quietly sipped her tea.
“By the way, is there a reason she wants to meet the World Tree? It’s just…Somehow, I feel like I really want to meet the World Tree.”
“Does it look like that?”
She says that she is not really Evan Fried,
What would be the answer if I told you that pianist Kim Soo-hyun possessed the body of Evan Fried?
She was pretty funny even when she thought about it, so Evan smiled and opened her mouth.
“It’s just because it’s amazing. A tree that big was the sapling of the World Tree, what would it be like if the real World Tree had remained until now? I do.”
“It looks like a child.”
“He is too big to suckle.”
Then, her Irene’s face turned red, and Evan stared at her Irene, feeling suspicious of her.
When Irene, who was hiding her breasts, glanced at her,
Evan just shrugged her shoulders as he put down the teacup he was holding.
“…Not wet yet.”
“……Great.”
Evan bit his lip and tried to hold back her laughter.
The heat rising from her neck covered her entire face,
Controlling her breathing slowly, Evan ran her hands over her face and glanced at Irene’s face between her fingers.
Covering her flushed cheeks with her hands, her head bowed down, the tips of Irene’s ears burning red.
What on earth did you think of saying that… No, what did you mean by saying that before that?
It doesn’t take long to realize what it is,
Evan opened the window and breathed in the air, quietly cooling his burning cheeks.
“I didn’t hear it, yes. I just couldn’t hear anything.”
“…Yes. I didn’t say anything either. Just kidding, I just said it once.”
Irene’s heart skipped a beat when she said that. What the hell were you thinking when you said that? She gave Evan something the baby would eat-
When the ensuing delusion came to an end, Irene, whose face was completely red by the end of her gear, jumped up from her seat and gulped down the cold water.
The heat that did not go away even when she fanned it with her hand, the heat that filled her room reminded me of midsummer.
Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy, Irene bit her lip at the delusion that kept popping up in her head.
She’s not bad, she’s just weird because of her pregnancy.
Irene, who had worked hard to fix her thoughts, sat down again and looked at her Evan.
She wonders if she thinks of herself as strange.
However, Evan tried to understand Irene by recalling what he had seen in her book.
Early in her pregnancy, she was able to do just that. Although she was embarrassed, she was able to fully understand…
“Ha ha.”
Evan looked at Irene. Is it because of what he said earlier?
It seemed that the purple negligee that showed through the inside stood out.
The white skin that ran down her neck, and her collarbone slightly exposed under her clothes.
She swallowed her saliva for a moment, then burst out laughing at Irene’s glancing glance at her as well as her upper body.
“Where are you looking?”
“Oh, I didn’t see it.”
“…Seems to be unbearable.”
At those words, Irene made her shoulders tremble. Because of the tightness of her lower abdomen, she touched her stomach for a moment,
Seeing Evan’s gaze, she slightly blushed. What does the word unbearable mean?
Before realizing it, Evan got up from her seat and coveted Irene’s lips.
“It’s still daytime, eup.”
Evan wiped the white thread that fell between her lips,
She smiled quietly and whispered in Irene’s ear.
As she tickled her chin with her fingers and unbuttoned the hem of her shirt one by one, her Irene’s neck moved in a gulp.
“…So, don’t you like it?”
While her body trembled, Irene blankly met Evan’s gaze.
She stared at the green eyes that seemed to suck people in, her chest visible from the inside of her unbuttoned shirt.
Irene, who barely stood up on her wobbly legs, opened her mouth slowly.
“Shall we sleep a little earlier…?”
The curtains covering the windows were closed, and the door was locked with a rattling sound.
No answer, no signal. It’s midwinter, and it’s broad daylight when the sun is still shining brightly.
Tak-
With the sound of the lights going off, Irene’s room fell into darkness.
