I Became a Dark Knight the Empress Is Obsessed With

15 – Senate Council – (1)

Gargoyles that had been in place for hundreds of years suddenly fell. And in that place stood the person who would become the next Empress of the Empire.

Incredible coincidences combined with atrocious odds.

Of course there was an uproar.

The assembly hall was temporarily closed, and guardsmen stormed the entire building to protect the elements.

The attendants all said it was an ominous sign or a curse from the church.

It was too subtle to be a coincidence.

“The Senate Council has been postponed.”

Two hours after the commotion, the magistrate said with a dark expression.

He was standing with his hands behind his back, and he was so agitated that three layers of his neck trembled whenever he spoke.

“Of course, it’s not completely closed. We plan to reopen tomorrow morning.”

“I can’t help it.”

A lot of resources have already been spent to stop the Senate Council due to the current accident.

As it was the first time in decades to decide the next emperor, there could be no closing ceremony.

“First of all, Lautrec said that there was no sign of intrusion from the outside. Currently, Rowan is analyzing the fallen stone statue. Whether it was a coincidence or an intentional necessity will soon become clear.”

These are the words of a knight with an overwhelming search ability through spiritism, and a wizard who directly built the barrier of the tournament venue. It must be true.

Above all, in the first act, there is no intervention from the church or external enemies.

Conspiracies and quarrels that take place only within the imperial family. that’s the main stream

“How is the princess’s condition?”

“I don’t know. It’s because nobody’s inside.”

The administrator slightly twisted his upper body and chined his back.

There was a room that was guarded with tight security.

It was Lynchia’s sleeping quarters inside the conference hall. With all kinds of magical defenses and even physical alarms installed, it was close to impossible for even the greatest assassin to break through.

… … Rowan said, so you can rest assured.

“I guess you were shocked too.”

“It deserves it.”

In any case, he almost lost his life. If I hadn’t rescued him in time, he would have become a rat.

It must have been quite a shock to Lincia, who was still immature.

If I didn’t have knowledge of the game, I would have panicked.

First, I had to check Lynchia’s condition. Could it be that the stress has risen?

I slowly approached the door and knocked.

There was no reaction.

Knocked on the door again and said.

“It’s Fried.”

quiet for a while.

“… … Come on in.”

A low voice leaked through the crack in the door.

I grabbed the unlocked doorknob and stepped into the bedroom.

In the room were Lynchia and Melina. Lynchia was staring up at a point on the ceiling as if in a state of fascination, and Melina was restless watching her.

“Princess.”

“… … Sir Fried.”

Lincia’s eyes meet. A little bit of life came into the unfocused eyes.

“It seems that there is someone who wants me to die.”

He pretended to speak calmly, but his voice was clearly disturbed.

someone is trying to kill me

Of course, it’s not like Lynchia couldn’t have predicted it either. However, even if you think you have already understood it in your head, the emotions you feel when you encounter the actual incident will be different.

“Oh no! This is just a coincidence.”

“Yes. It must have been an intentional coincidence. To disguise it as if it was an accidental death.”

“Princess!”

Melina tried to reassure Lyncia in any way, but to no avail.

Melina whispered as she watched me enter the room.

“hurry! Say something!”

I shrugged my shoulders and got down on one knee in front of Lynchia.

He sat down on the chair and made eye contact with her.

I chose my words carefully to reassure you, but I couldn’t lie either.

“… … Someone is trying to take Your Highness’ life.”

“no! Why do you say that!”

Melina protested, but Lynchia withdrew her transparent eyes and spat out a dry voice.

“It certainly is.”

“Certainly this won’t be the last time.”

“I guess so.”

“But there is nothing to worry about.”

I put my hand on my chest.

“I will keep it. no matter what.”

Various knowledge acquired while playing the game. If you make good use of them, you will be able to protect Lynthia.

Even so, I am a phase pervert among perverts who have collected all the dead ends in Raising Empress.

Lynchia closed her eyes, probably feeling that kind of aspiration.

Soon after, the eyes that opened again were filled with the usual strangeness.

“I’m sure one word from Lord Fried is more reassuring than a hundred words from others.”

Lyncia said, “Why?” He said and smiled slightly.

“cool. There seems to be some great power in you.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

Really, it was overrated.

After I printed out the status before long, I let out a sigh of relief.

Stress did not go up.

I don’t know if it’s because she raised a mental stat, or because of me, or if it’s her original personality, but Lynchia was surprisingly calm.

It seemed that I was not the only one who grew up through the disaster of National Foundation Day.

It’s a good thing. Because in normal games, the stress level would go up in this part.

I say goodbye to Lyncia and leave the room.

After closing the door and taking a few steps, I heard a piercing voice from behind.

“What the hell are you doing!”

Turning around, Melina was glaring at me with wrinkles between her brows.

“The princess is in a state of anxiety. In this situation, I should say something to be reassured, what if the suspicion grows more?”

“I couldn’t lie.”

Even if I say hopeful words to that, it is a certain thing that it will be broken in the future development.

Above all, it was because Lincia herself understood her situation.

But Melina still stomped her feet as if she didn’t like it.

“What is your purpose?”

“purpose?”

“How do you plan to get a seat with Princess Lynchia? While acting as a perfect knight?”

Melina, who said that, was more serious than anyone else.

It was clear that it wasn’t out of anger.

When I couldn’t speak, Melina continued to shoot me, as if she thought she had caught the gun.

“I’m right? I’ve heard a lot of rumors about you. Mad dog Fried Iscobal! He must have coveted the princess’s body or sought wealth and fame.”

“…”

“Did you think I didn’t know your intentions? How many do you think there are in a year who approach my master in that way? My family has served the royal family for over a hundred years. You did. How many people like you have you seen?”

“no…….”

“That one is the same.”

Adduk.

I thought I heard the grinding of my teeth.

“I know their ulterior motives, but first of all, the princess trusts them, and since they have an achievement in saving lives, they are conniving.”

“…”

“The princess is in a mental state right now. So don’t say anything that will burden you any more.”

The last words were half pleading.

“……I’ve been taking care of Miss Lindia since she was a baby. That’s why I know her well. She’s still a little girl.

Melina sat down as it was.

“What the hell is the world supposed to entrust the fate of the world to such a person! That kind of thing is up to a more upright person! To tell you the truth, I feel like I want to take the princess and run away across the border right away.”

When I saw that, my feelings became complicated.

It was hard to look straight at Melina’s appearance.

There was sincerity in every word she uttered.

“It’s a misunderstanding.”

“lie!”

So it was more difficult to understand.

Why the hell did she become the protagonist of Dead End?

Why did the tea the empress drink get poisoned?

“I’ll just go.”

I left in a hurry.

I felt like I would lose track of anything if I continued to talk with Melina.

At first, I didn’t think anyone would believe me no matter what I said.

I heard her calling from behind, but I tried to ignore it.

*

I was lost in thought as I walked down the aisles of the conference hall.

“Strange.”

Doubts I hadn’t felt even though raising the Empress was approaching hundreds of times.

When I actually possessed this world, I definitely felt it.

What I experienced through the game and the world I actually possessed did not mesh with each other.

The protagonists of Raising the Empress that I actually met.

It was completely different from the in-game images I’ve seen.

The serious knight Fried was an asshole, and the villain Melina, who hid her ulterior motives, was the maid of utmost sincerity. Lyncia was not just an immature child either.

Each of those points was accelerating the confusion.

“Oh, that’s going crazy.”

He clutched his head and groaned.

I have to deal with the crisis with the knowledge I gained from the game, but rather, I’m buried in that knowledge.

Because of this, I can’t even boast that I’ve been possessed anywhere.

It’s nothing to be proud of.

After a while, I saw Rowan and Milia approaching from across the hallway.

They stood in front of me with very dark expressions.

Rowan was the first to speak. He took out a small box from his bosom and opened it.

“I found this in a broken section of a stone statue.”

It looks like a jewel dyed black.

I noticed that this is the same as an item icon in Raising Empress.

“Spellstone.”

“That’s right. It looks like someone used this to corrode the stone statue in a short period of time. The activation trigger is when the light becomes strong. In other words, when the door is opened, it is intentionally dropped.”

With a serious expression, Rowan took out the spell stone and shined it on the candlestick.

Whoops.

In fact, when the light hits it, the jewel glows red.

Seeing that glamorous color, Millia made an astringent expression.

“Is it difficult to track down the culprit through that?”

Millia asked, and I nodded.

The name is Torture Magic, so shouldn’t it be possible to arrange it?

Then Rowan lowered his head as if embarrassed.

“Of course I tried… but failed. It was because of the strong anti-tracking magic.”

It’s useless really.

The barrier that I worked hard on was actually the work of an insider, so it had no meaning and I couldn’t even track it.

There’s a reason why Rowan doesn’t appear after the first act.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Don’t get beaten up for this.

“He must be a wizard of a very high level. He will probably surpass me. And he must be in this meeting room.”

Of course, this alone significantly narrows the target.

There aren’t many people who can be called magicians in the Senate Council.

Among them, there was only one wizard who reached a high level.

Edwin Paleid.

The supreme head of the Senate Council.

And the elder elves who have supported the empire for over 200 years.

Obviously, the boss of Act 1 is Edwin.

It must be this guy who dropped the stone statue. I was convinced after seeing this spell stone.

But just because you know the culprit, you can’t go in and subdue them.

If I suddenly seized the chief and claimed that I was the culprit, I would be imprisoned on the contrary.

Above all, it is difficult to deal with Edwin and his men with my own strength.

If so, I have no choice but to continue sabotaging his plans.

As much as the first surprise attack went in vain, he will continue to pursue Lynthia’s life, dragging the meeting along.

Protect Lyncia. In the process, Edwin catches a gap that he missed. Dig into this and reveal Edwin’s conspiracy to the whole world. that was the correct method.

The story unfolded in this way in the actual game as well.

You don’t have to be adventurous.

I finished my thoughts and looked at Rowan.

It’s unreliable, but there won’t be a wizard of this level at this point.

“Rowan. The culprit must have installed spell stones like this all over the conference hall. Can you find them?”

“Mmm.”

At those words, Rowan salivated, but did not deny it.

It was difficult, but it was doable.

“Milia.”

And I saw Milia.

As soon as our eyes met, she waited for my words.

How can you look like a senior who catches sh*t, what can you do?

I walked over to Millia and grabbed her arm.

“Could you hang out for a while? Let’s get some air with me.”

“Yes heck?!”

Millia gave a small cry and widened her eyes.

what. Why.

She rolled her gaze here and there until she lowered her head and looked up at me at an angle.

How strange was that expression?

“……Uh, why?”

“What is he saying now.”

What is it?

I need to find the evidence.
