Chapter 44: Transcendent Figures

I immediately called up the character information.

Last time, I was so nervous that I couldn't learn much about the emperor.

'There may be another reason.'

If it's status information from a reinforced system, I might be able to figure out what's going on. I

I looked at the information window with eyes full of anticipation. But there were only words I had never seen before posted there.

[Information on transcendent figures cannot be accessed.]

[If you want to see through your target, you have to have the skills to do so.]

What the hell is this? This has never happened before, right? Now that I think about it, I think I know something.

'I have never met a transcendent person before.'

This is a world of utterly dark fantasy. There must have been people like Auror Masters and high-ranking magicians, but I have never seen them before.

Anyway, what does the system text mean?

The fact was that the Emperor was also a powerful figure comparable to such monsters.

'If I had harbored even the slightest resentment, I would have been torn to pieces.'

Needless to say, I wasn't very interested in power. What was given now was more than enough.

How can a mere police officer afford a mansion the size of an apartment complex?

Besides, how do you manage to keep all those employees in line?

I had no intention of going any higher.

Emperor Charon seemed to have noticed my feelings and smiled wryly. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Well, I guess it might have felt like I was pushing you to your limits."

"How could that be?"

"You don't have to be humble. It's all written in your eyes."

"… ..."

"To conclude, that's not it. I'm just trying to use you because you seem to have good governing skills. If not you, who else would I entrust with such an important task?"

It's good to trust me, but I don't need any of that twisted trust from the Iron Emperor.

'Can't i just live like i used to?'

I sent it with that kind of look in my eyes, but it seems like this empror interpreted it differently.

"As expected, there's no one I can trust but you."

'No! No!'

I wanted to shout that inside.

But I couldn't bring myself to do that. If I'm disliked by this person, it doesn't end with just death.

How much blood was shed when Charon ascended the throne?

It wasn't for nothing that he was nicknamed the Iron-Blooded Emperor.

'Still, there's some kind of clue... Wait a minute, maybe I can get through Empress'

I immediately brought up the information window. I felt uncomfortable making eye contact, so I just glanced over my shoulder. But somehow it was applied.

<Person Information>

Name: Cecilia Sierra

Status: Empress

Position: Imperial

Relationship: Very Bad....???

Status: Suspected of ???, ???

Overall Ability: SS

[The opponent's level is somewhat high.]

[If you want to see through your target, you have to have the skills to do so.]

This time again, the system failed to retrieve the character information properly.

'Wow! This woman is no pushover.'

There was nothing worth salvaging because all the important parts were covered with question marks.

But I noticed something quite important.

'Sier.'

A surname that has been mentioned quite frequently so far. It was the aristocrats who clashed with me on every issue, starting from the first trial.

Naturally, their leader would be the Duke of Sierre.

'The empress was his blood relative.'

I thought it was strange that they were secretly pushing for treason from the beginning.

The only fortunate thing was that Emperor Charon was not swayed by the Empress's words.

Even though he has an eccentric personality, we have a pretty good relationship, don't we?

If I faithfully carry out my orders, no matter how much they try to restrain me, they will not be able to accuse me of treason.

Now there was only one problem left.

'I really don't want to go there with empty hands.'

But I had no choice.

"I will faithfully carry out Your Majesty's orders."

"Hahaha! I'll just trust you."

"However, there is one condition for that."

"Hmm?"

When I brought up the unexpected condition, the emperor's brow furrowed.

What he meant was, "Just do as you're told, why are you complaining?"

I quickly started explaining before the weirdo started having a seizure.

"The defense of the Duchy of Carriers relies solely on my personal force."

"You should have chosen a knight, but you haven't."

"Because I haven't met anyone I like yet… … ."

"We're going to be together for the rest of our lives, so it's not a bad idea to be cautious. So?"

"Please give me some troops to defend the dukedom. Then I can leave with peace of mind."

"That is indeed a reasonable request. I will send you my guard knights. Is that acceptable?"

Emperor Charon nodded willingly. But my demands are not over yet.

"Can't I pick the people to be drafted myself?"

"… ..."

The expressions of the Emperor and Empress changed mysteriously.

At that moment, I thought I had made a huge mistake. I don't know the royal etiquette very well, so I might have said something wrong.

After a bitterly cold silence, the Emperor opened his mouth.

"Phehheh! Can you even call that a request? You are the one who will protect my land, so it is right to elect them directly. Do so."

"I am so grateful to you."

I took an extreme example and often took a step back.

'I guess I'll never come here again.'

I ground my teeth inside, but honestly, I couldn't help it when he called.

He's a monster who can throw a guillotine party whenever he wants, so i have to be careful.

'Don't touch me. If you mess with me, I might even try to take the throne. Okay? Got it?'

Of course, it was something that was beyond my current capabilities.

What's the ghost doing? Why don't you catch that crazy guy? And kill him!

I was talking to some ghost...who might listen to my request but it's seems I'm also going crazy as time went by...
