Chapter 60: 59

Of course, the Emperor couldn’t have not known of Aceras’s movement.

3 weeks ago, when Hikan visited the Emperor for the vacation, the Emperor greeted him with a sly attitude as always.

“It’s been less than a month since you started working, and now you’re going on vacation. It seems that I chose the wrong commander.”

The Emperor exaggeratedly touched his forehead and shook his head. Of course, Hikan didn’t raise a single eyebrow.

“For a month?”

“……It’s a necessary vacation. You can order me to do something as a business trip if you want.”

“Really? You know what I’m going to order, right?”

“…… I’ve received your order.”

The Emperor rested his chin on his hand. The ruby eyes that Cedric inherited sank into the murky light.

Hikan knew from his experience.

The Emperor looked like that whenever something that posed a great threat to the Empire’s safety happened.

For example, when he heard that Aceras, the Crown Prince’s attendant, was actually a transcendent and he then became the Pope of the Holy Empire.

“We’re in trouble.”

“…….”

“It seems that the rats of the Holy Empire have infiltrated the capital.”

Even though he already knew it, Hikan’s eyebrows were distorted once again.

There is a considerable difference in the weight class of the Holy Empire and Frederic Empire.

By simply looking at the size of the territory alone, Frederic is about 1.5 times larger, and the existence of ‘transcendents’ that far exceeds normal human strength also plays a part in widening the weight class between the two.

However, throughout history, the war between the two Empires always ended without any gain on either side.

It was due to the terrifying healing power of the Holy Empire Paladins and the extreme loyalty of their underground fanatic group.

The fanatics of the Holy Empire will use any means necessary.

They were famous for their intelligence and assassination, and they were also the one who devised Leonard’s countless assassination threats seven years ago when they were on the verge of war.

The worst thing about them is that they kill themselves the moment they are caught. Therefore, the process of obtaining information from them was not easy.

They hid poison bottles deep in both thighs and forearm muscles.

There is no problem when it receives external shocks or forces, but if you apply the force skillfully, the bottle will break and they will die immediately.

The animosity between the two Empires seemed to have waned as their relationship improved, but it seems to be on the rise again as Aceras becoming the Pope.

“What are they aiming for? That is the most important issue.”

“Alright.”

The Emperor frowned and scratched the end of his eyebrows with the tip of the fountain pen.

“Aceras is someone who has been hiding that he is transcendent while working under me who can read emotions for years. I can’t read what he’s thinking.”

According to the data analyzed by his aides, more than ten fanatics of the Holy Empire have infiltrated the capital.

What on earth were they thinking to infiltrate the Empire with so many people? To prepare for the war? To simply gather information?

All of those reasons didn’t make any sense.

His aides have long analyzed the movements of the fanatics. As a result, they came to the conclusion that they were persistently tracking one person.

Dalia Pesteros.

Why on earth did Aceras put so much manpower into finding only one young girl?

It was obvious.

“Aceras talked to Leonard when he was his attendant. There’s something special about Dalia Pesteros.”

“…….”

A shadow fell again in the Emperor’s eyes.

“According to our calculations too, Aceras’s soul has already been pushed to the limit due to the excessive use of ability.”

As expected, he was the one who would want Dalia the most right now.

Hikan touched his forehead with an expression of anger and other mixed feelings. His head was about to explode from all kinds of thoughts.

The Emperor let out a long sigh. His face was filled with fatigue which was uncommon.

“This is not simply my mistake, but a failure. It’s the most disastrous failure among the failures, since he has caught onto the one thing that should not be caught. But you know, regrets are meaningless to me as an Emperor.”

“I know.”

“There will be no second failure. So now you know what order I’m going to give you, right?”

Hikan lowered his eyes, then looked up again. Unlike before, his heart was heavy.

“You’re telling me that I should take Dalia and leave the capital for a while.”

“Yes. Until we catch all the fanatics who came to the capital. Going to the opposite side of the Holy Empire would be better.”

“How long will it take?”

“In a month.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“And there’s something you have to do for me in the future.”

The Emperor gave him an order in a low voice.

Hikan listened to the order with trembling eyes.

And now, three weeks later, he was standing in front of Dalia again and bid his goodbye before leaving. The Emperor’s orders have been carried out almost completely as of today. All that’s left for him now is to leave.

However, the thought of leaving Dalia behind kept bothering him. If he ever loses her, then he……?

The anxiety engulfed his mind.

Without realizing it, he reached out and touched Dalia’s cheek. She looked surprised, then smiled brightly.

He looked at her for a long time. To not forget and lose this soft feeling of her cheeks that touch his hands.

Hikan desperately wished for it.

9. Meldon Verix

Hikan really packed up that evening and left alone.

‘Traitor.’

Dalia was so sad and kicked the blanket.

But it’s no use. The person who left had already gone, and now there were only Dalia and Adrisha, two servants, and three of the imperial wizards called by Hikan in the mansion.

Adrisha noticed her disappointment and sat on the bed and stayed close to Dalia.

“As expected, I need to eat something sweet.”

“You ate a lot of sweets yesterday, so you can’t.”

“So mean!”

Wrapped like a cocoon with the blanket, Dalia struggled with only her legs. Since she didn’t have good physical strength, she was quickly overwhelmed with strength.

She let go of her blanket and looked at the ceiling.

“……okay. I did think that I ate as much as I could yesterday.”

She didn’t even want to eat that much. It’s just that her heart is empty.

Aceras is aiming for her.

Although Hikan didn’t say it out loud, there was only one reason why he suddenly wanted her.

‘That’s when we’re touched.’

When she fell off the railing of the first floor with Aceras.

If he noticed her ability as he touched her then, then everything makes sense.

She can see why Hikan was so mad with his words a while ago. There is someone named Aceras who aims for her as soon as he realizes her power.

‘At this rate, I’m the one who will take the Aceras route, not Adrisha.’

However, Dalia didn’t want to see Aceras’ true ending. For real.

Although it was unlucky, the last time she saw him was 3 years ago, it wasn’t to this extent, but it seems that his soul degradation has progressed a lot in the meantime.

It was not surprising at all considering the original Aceras.

He confined Adrisha and killed the chef if she didn’t eat, and killed the seamstress if she didn’t wear the dress he bought.

Considering that time, at least it should not have been taken to the Holy Empire.

Hikan said Vesta would be the safest. Since this is the farthest territory from the Holy Empire.

‘So from the beginning, brother…….’

She stared blankly at the ceiling. Then she got up and slapped her cheek.

She can’t help it that she was already caught.

It’s time to stop thinking about depressing things.

If she is kidnapped, she can run away. There are people who will come to her rescue.

‘Yeah, let’s do what we can.’

Even if the world is destroyed tomorrow, she will plant an apple tree.

She checked today’s date and asked Adrisha.

“Is there any letter from Sir Cedric?”

“I’ll go ask now.”

It’s been a while since she sent the letter to Cedric.

In the last letter, Dalia wrote to him asking if he knew Meldon. Perhaps for the first time, the relationship between Meldon and Cedric, which did not appear in the original, may be revealed.

Adrisha, who had left, immediately came with a letter. It was a letter with the imperial gold leaf seal.

Dalia opened the letter. This time too, it smelled like Cedric.

[To Miss Dalia Pesteros.

I’m glad that you’re having a good time. By the time this letter arrives, it’s hard to say now because I don’t know what’s going on. Anyway, I want to tell you to always take care of yourself.

Did you meet Viscount Arthur Pendleton? I heard that he went to Vesta. We do know each other. I’m telling you this because I don’t want to lie to you.

But don’t get along with that moron as much as possible. If he approaches you (this back part was completely erased with black paint).

No, it’s okay. I’ll see you soon.

I have a lot of things I want to say, but I don’t think I’ll be able to convey them all through a letter, so I’ll meet you in person. I’m looking forward to seeing you again.

Always be careful, and I hope Adrisha will protect you properly. Take care.

P.S.

I received the sand well. It was pretty. I also put another gift in it, so I hope it’ll be useful. The gift is for…….]

However, the back of the postscript was wet with water and the ink was smeared, so she couldn’t tell what he was talking about.
