The precipitated darkness began to stir, and at its core was the human aura lurking within it.
The outlines gradually became clearer, filling the seats in the deliberation hall one by one.
Then, the spotlight shines on the protagonist of this review, and the darkness beneath the holy surface begins.
"The end of our desire - the decisive strategy that must be carried out in order to achieve the long-cherished wish has been achieved. The entire Hekan region has fallen into our hands. As long as our intentions release information, it will not be difficult to control the market and even the armed forces."
"Our chess pieces are also flawless. As a replacement for personnel, the 'Holy Blood of the Puppet Angel' - the secret of hope extracted from the 'cauldron', has also worked as expected."
"Of course, the long-cherished wish of hundreds of years will never be allowed to fail, and escape is absolutely impossible. Even making a mistake in fantasizing is punishable by death."
"but."
"Our Second Prince, His Highness, has made all this go to waste."
"Answer us, the representative of the Feather Emperor - Marfa!"
Several voices turned into voices of resentment, echoing in the holy hall.
The targets are all pointed at the protagonist of the interrogation, that is, the defendant.
No, this is no longer an interrogation, but a judgment full of violence, just like the interrogation of heretics by heretics.
"Sigh... not only the ears, but also the head has finally become old and dim. I don't remember that the Yu Clan palace has the right to question the crown prince, right?" The golden eyes were as ferocious as sharp blades. He thought he was being pushed to the execution ground. The sinner who could only be slaughtered by others actually showed a dismissive smile.
"It's not me who is being hunted, so don't make the mistake of being targeted." Faced with everyone's questioning, Marfa lifted her bangs that blocked her sight, and pointedly impeached the inquisitors who were shrouded in light.
"The Feather Clan doesn't need what you call perfect secrets. Of course, even though it's not necessary, it would be a bit too meaningless to completely ignore Miyashita's opinions. Therefore, I deliberately did not intervene and chose to wait and see what happens - who can Come to think of it, he is not only the supreme manager, he is not even as good as the fingertips of the evil-eyed Xiaoxiao. The so-called victory that you have cherished for hundreds of years is nothing more than that."
"..." In an instant, the deliberation hall fell into silence.
It was a shock born of extraordinary resentment.
To be more specific, this reaction does not come from being refuted by one's own efforts. It would be better to say that the very fact of being refuted seemed like an impossible phenomenon. The ministers present were all eclipsed.
"Pay attention to your tone and identity! He is just the second son of Emperor Yu. As the acting representative of Emperor Yu who has not been able to serve in seclusion, it is an incomparable honor for you to be able to stand here."
"Are you talking about reputation again? It's true that he is the second son, but I am the only one who can inherit the position of Templar. If you still remember the instructions of the oracle, it is best to take back the front in front of me, the future Emperor of the Feathers. Those words.”
"you……!"
Marfa's words left the old minister speechless. Although he complained, he chose to swallow it after careful consideration.
A dangerous atmosphere of gnashing of teeth brewed in the review hall. For the authorities who conducted the interrogation, this was as humiliating as being taught the principles of human conduct by a superior.
However, as expected, no one among the old men present could stand up to refute the tyranny of the young crown prince, the Yu Huang's deputy.
Looking around, he saw that everyone was silent. Marfa, who held the power of speech in his hand, showed a hint of disdain.
"Information manipulation, political conspiracy, and even the practice of testing the managers by using the 'Cauldron' to refine the holy blood, a taboo thing - do you really think there will be no risk of the situation being revealed?"
"If that's the case, what else can you do if you're not a nuisance? The so-called hundreds of years of long-cherished wishes and glory were destroyed because of me, rather than being shattered by your obsession and depravity. So you idiots I don’t realize that those unintelligent means are just empty shells with already predetermined results!”
Marfa's voice echoed loudly in the deliberation hall, and it was no longer possible to distinguish the relationship between the interrogator and the defendant.
The so-called interrogation situation has long since disappeared.
"Don't waste maps for evil purposes. The most you can do is to deal with the debris outside the plan. You should devote your efforts to preventing unscrupulous people from outside the world who want to interfere with this plan. After all, let the ears and eyes of the center, And that dog-like sense of smell comes into play, isn’t it your duty to monitor? The authority and reputation built for this, and the political base controlled for this. Or-"
"If there are any foolish people among you who hope for the false throne, how about you sign up now?"
The clear voice of the living completely suppressed everyone present, whether it was because the chaos had reached its peak or because they were afraid of the approaching horror. Or perhaps, they are still wallowing in that false glory.
Facing the object that seemed to have broken free from the commandment of death, and even the giant king could not restrain it, his domineering power was already unimpeded. Looking up at the strand of spider silk hanging in front of him, all the palace servants lowered their heads.
...
At that time, the shimmering light of the Holy Land dimmed, and the man who had been waiting here for a long time finally showed a happy smile. However, the confusion he cast towards the end of the corridor remained unchanged from the beginning to the end.
"Is it worth doing this?" Looking at the figure that gradually became clearer, as if to get the answer he wanted, the man expressed condolences in a kind tone.
"If the emperor just wants to tease me, then there is no need to worry about it." His eyes swept over the man who looked similar to himself but was a few years older. Listening to the other man's intermittent speech, Marfa just frowned. He frowned.
"Excuse my stupid question, you are my brother after all, I'm just a little worried." In response to Marfa's hostility, the man smiled.
"Even if I take the throne from you with my own hands?"
"So what, I don't mind at all if it's you."
"What about Sid?"
"That's okay, but in comparison, you are more suitable."
The disordered breathing lasted for a long time. Looking at the man with a slight smile and an indifferent attitude, Marfa's tense expression was like a bursting dam.
Even after releasing all the negative emotions, Marfa's eyes still contained the arrogance ignited by obsession, and she poured out words full of resentment.
"Indeed, that is the karma of the Yu Clan. I want to end it with my own hands. I have the ambition to be a true Yu Emperor, nothing more."
"It seems that it was indeed a foolish question." After hearing this, the man smiled and rubbed Marfa's head in surprise.
"I believe there will be a day when I will personally crown you."
After accepting those words, the breath disappeared amidst the footsteps that silently left, leaving only Marfa standing in the darkness.
