Chapter 62

Happiness is nothing special.

I thought that if I ate well and lived well, that would make me happy. Ruid was only interested in that.

Of course, he had no desire to deal with villains or solve various problems of the empire.

However, his actions always resulted in unexpected results.

“Okay, is there anything you want? If you want territory, I will give you territory. If you want treasure, I will give you treasure.”

The emperor said that this work was of great help to the empire and that he would bestow a great reward.

Ruid was just dumbfounded.

A great help to the empire??

The only thing he did was because he wanted to eat tteokbokki, so he watched the kids and ordered them to shuttle the ingredients.

Ruid felt very burdened by the emperor who praised him excessively.

“I’m fine. “Your Majesty, please eat a lot of delicious food.”

“Haha, are you even caring about my health? You’re talking about congratulations, but you’re actually trying to protect your burden. Louis, you are a nephew that I cannot stop. This is why Jim has no choice but to favor you.”

Lucius, sitting on the throne, gestured to his aide.

Aide Michael quickly approached and put his finger on his ear.

Michael’s eyes widened when he heard the emperor’s whisper.

“Do you really want me to bring that?”

“Don’t make me say it twice.”

“S-sorry. I will prepare it right now-”

“??”

Ruid felt puzzled.

The emperor grinned while looking at Ruid like that.

“It’s not easy to know how to praise Windsor, no matter how burdensome it may be. The only thing Windsor doesn’t have is the throne, right? But that doesn’t mean I can give you the throne.”

The emperor shrugged his shoulders and told a very scary joke.

“So, I thought that if it were a commendation to give Windsor, it would be appropriate to give him the ‘best’ of all he has.”

‘But what are you trying to give me?’

Ruid was also secretly looking forward to the gift the emperor gave him. Although it is too much to receive a gift just for making tteokbokki.

‘I wish I could give you a blanket...’

Ruid opened his mouth slightly with a face full of anticipation.

After a while, Michael returned with five or six knights.

It was a coffin covered with red cloth. Luid’s expression brightened.

‘I guess it’s a bed.’

It’s also a portable bed!

Ruid was already satisfied.

The engineer, who gently put down the coffin, slowly, very slowly, opened the lid of the coffin.

The lid opened with a slither.

Inside was a red cloth that looked incredibly soft.

As expected, the bed was right!

Ruid immediately felt the desire to go there and lie down.

But...

“It’s Delrin’s staff. As the 13th Emperor, I bestow this upon Louis Christopher Windsor.”

The words fell out like a lightning bolt.

The emperor reached into the red coffin and took out something, which was a staff.

A staff that exudes great power.

“Delin’s Staff...?”

“Haha, guy. Even you can’t help but be surprised by this, right? This is the staff that Archmage Delrin himself used. “It’s the only cane in this world.”

The emperor spoke proudly.

‘You can’t eat it and you can’t cover it.’

Ruid was sullen.

The emperor was taken aback by the reaction, which was worse than expected.

“Paddy, isn’t it good?”

However, Ruid also had some sense and reacted as best he could.

“Wow, I’m really happy.”

**

The way back.

Damon was sweeping the leaves with a broom.

Well, that was a very unsuitable combination.

“What are you doing?”

Ruid walked over and spoke to Damon.

Damon looked at Luid and spoke confidently.

“I am being disciplined.”

“...Punishment?”

“Yes. The greatest punishment for the royal family is humiliation. “His Majesty told me to reflect by making me do things that only a servant would do.”

Damon raised the corners of his mouth.

“But you can’t subdue me like this. “Don’t worry, my momentum won’t break at all.”

‘You need to bend down a bit.’

“...go for it.”

Still, Ruid cheers me on.

As I was about to pass by, Damon suddenly spoke.

“Tteokbokki, it was delicious.”

“thank you.”

‘But the kid is good.’

Although Damon has a personality that is easily misunderstood, I thought he had a good personality.

Ruid looked at Damon using the broom with an embarrassed expression for a moment, then turned around.

The response to the cooking class was better than I expected, so I guess it felt a little rewarding...

‘Next time, I’m going to go to Kimbap.’

If I make you kimchi fried rice, won’t you faint?

Ruid thought seriously.

**

Ruid’s mansion.

He was chatting with Hersi.

“When is your sister coming?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Is something going on?”

Two days passed like that.

Ruid immediately told his mother.

“It’s obvious that I don’t care because I’m playing alone.”

[...Tell me to contact me immediately when you return. Rather than that, Luid. Are you eating well?]

“Yes.”

After a few words of daily conversation, Ruid connected with Irene this time.

“Ame noona is not coming. “Scold me.”

[That kid is useless. Don’t worry, I’ll kill you half, Louis.]

“Half and half.”

Just like that, another week passed.

That was also the time that Ruid spent in Amelia’s room.

Ruid turned on the crystal ball again today.

“Amelia isn’t coming.”

Ruid doesn’t even call me sister anymore.

Victoria in the crystal ball was in a lot of trouble.

[Luid, this is already the third transmission today.]

There are 40 crystal balls written today.

In gold terms, it is 4 million gold.

Considering that the mansion where Ruid was located cost 200,000 gold, it was an enormous amount.

Even this was the amount of the crystal ball used by Ruid. The price does not include the crystal ball at Windsor Castle.

If you include it, 8 million gold. It was an astronomical amount.

“What should I do if Amelia doesn’t come?”

[Amelia said there was no need to worry. There is no person who poses a threat near the space the child went to.]

“What are you worried about? Don’t worry at all. “It’s just annoying.”

[Hmm, ...Windsor Castle’s crystal balls are gradually running out. I would rather turn on a crystal ball and talk to my mom all day...]

“Is the crystal ball a waste?”

Pop-.

Ruid turned off the crystal ball.

I hugged the pillow and glared at the crystal ball with a face full of dissatisfaction.

This time, I sent a message to Irene.

Irene was smiling as usual.

Ruid didn’t like her smile because it was like a joke, but today he was very reassuring.

“Amelia isn’t coming.”

[It’s the death penalty.]

“Really?”

[Running away from home, leaving my younger brother, who is only 12 years old, at home. Out of stock.]

Ruid nodded his head sharply.

“After all, I have no other sister than Irene. “I like Irene the best.”

Irene’s laughter grew stronger.

Crash!

-Go, matriarch!

A commotion was heard inside the crystal ball.

Soon the door opened and Victoria appeared in front of the crystal ball, wiping away her cold sweat.

[Ah, son. I think I misunderstood something—]

“I never had a misunderstanding.”

Ruid disconnected.

I curled up on the bed.

“...Shall we go?”

There is a problem with it not coming like this.

So I couldn’t go.

Seeing as Sherry doesn’t come in the same way, it’s kind of a test.

During the last warlock incident, Amelia truly hated her involvement.

If I intervened this time, it could have harmed Amelia’s pride.

...I didn’t want my family to have a falling out.

But at the same time, it was very unpleasant to be away for such a long time and not see a single letter.

“Just really come.”

**

Amelia entered the mansion with a happy face.

‘Hehe. It’s a little late, but if it’s something like this, Roid will like it too.’

Amelia went to the Melang Mountains to look for smelt.

You meet a fisherman along the way...

-Do you know what? It is said that an ice god lives at the peak of the Melang Mountains.

Ice God, Ice God.

After hearing the story of that legendary being, I couldn’t catch an ordinary smelt.

That’s why Amelia wandered endlessly through the mountains to catch the legendary fish...

“Ah, Sherry. “You’ve worked hard. You can go and rest.”

“...yes.”

As soon as Sherry heard those words, she immediately fell to the floor.

Amelia shook her head.

“It’s because Ruid’s maid is so physically weak.”

Amelia doesn’t think it’s a miracle that she’s survived this long after not having slept a wink for over a week.

She opened the door, thinking that she had to get dressed and go see Lloyd.

“uh?”

But Ruid was sitting on the bed in his room.

When Ruid saw Amelia, he was happy for a moment, but then made a very fierce expression.

“Why are you here...”

“....”

Ruid’s magic suddenly fluctuated.

All the objects in the room fell and the floor made a loud noise.

“get out!!”

The door closed with a bang.

“...Louis?”

Amelia froze, holding the fish on her shoulder.

The fish fluttered mercilessly.
