Today, three days after the executives were elected through a class meeting, the noble third princess called us.

I, who had been given the position of deputy representative via a half-forced recommendation and by way of preventing any friction, had no choice but to join the party heading to the palace.

The four of us, Park Min-ho, Min Hye-rin, Choi Ji-hoon, and I are on our way to the Palace of the Star, guided by a maid and escorted by a knight.

They were, in essence, our guide and executioner respectively.

The moment we acted out, the knights blade would slice through our throats.

My heart trembles with strange tension when I think of becoming a part of the spectacle that I have only ever seen through the window.

Why did the princess call us?

Wouldnt the princess, who had high expectations for the strangers shed only ever heard of since her birth, be disappointed in us, who were ordinary and lacking in talent, and would as a result lower our treatment by a few notches?

Some may point out that my thoughts are too pessimistic.

In fact, it is very unlikely that we will be treated badly unless one of us makes a big mistake.

This year is an inflection point in history, and we are the core of that inflection point itself.

We do not know what role we will play in the Cataclysm, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that the survival of the continent and the empire is at stake based on our attitudes.

At least until the attribute inspection, we are safe.

We, who may prove our tremendous potential with our attributes, could stand on the side of the Empire to improve the continents prosperity, or become enemies of the Empire, bringing the continent into a new period of decline.

The rise and fall of mankind is unfolding before everyones eyes.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

So, one might ask, why not just kill us all and treat this cataclysm as if it never happened?

But, the possibility exists that we are not the root cause of the cataclysm.

Like the Holy Demon War 300 years ago, the suddenly summoned hero turned out to be the Sword of God against the Demon King.

Having been briefly instructed on the etiquette required for an audience with the imperial family in advance, we knelt down on the red carpet and waited with our heads bowed.

A long waiting period followed.

Five minutes had not passed, and I could feel Choi Ji-hoon wriggling beside me.

Please just stay still...

Im afraid hell cause trouble over nothing.

The carpet was soft enough that my knees didnt hurt.

But having to stay in the same position for a long while will inevitably lead to poor blood flow in my bottom half.

By the time my legs start to go numb-

The noble 3rd Princess, Amer di Kairos, is entering.

As the maids voice announced the princesss entry from across the room, the elegant sound of high heels continued in front of the plush seat of the throne in the audience room.

We maintain an unmoving posture without raising our heads even by a hairs breadth.

Because she hasnt allowed it yet.

Summoned representatives, please raise your head.

Reflecting on the soft beauty of her voice, I raised my stiff head.

The first thing that catches my eye is the shiny pink hair.

The look in her eyes is kind and her smile is warm, but you can feel a soft charisma in the atmosphere around her.

Her voluptuous breasts and narrow waist seem to prove that she was born from among the best bloodlines of this empire.

The third princess, the star of the Kairos Empire, was looking down at us.
