Swordmaster's Youngest Son Chapter 421

Chapter 421 Chapter

122. From the point of view of the emperor (1),

the fallen eunuch, it was fortunate that Jin recognized the imperial palace as an enemy camp.

It was raising the senses. Thanks to this, Jin was able to perceive that there was some unusual movement from high up in the spire.

‘person?’

No matter how tall the spire is, a fall is instant.

There was no time to worry about who the hell was going to fall and what the circumstances were.

My body moved reflexively.

Kwajik-!

As power erupted from his swollen thighs, the white pavement dented and cracked, and Jin’s body bounced into the air like an arrow that had left the demonstration.

Even without preliminary action, the pace was too fast for nearby guards to intercept. The guards opened their eyes wide and only looked at the back of Jin who flew up.

And the emperor grinned as he watched Jin get closer to the spire.

‘It’s risky, but I can get it.’

The moment he was so sure, he heard familiar and sharp metal sounds in Jin’s ears.

At first glance, the sound of the sword coming out of the scabbard was dozens.

This is the Emperor’s Palace.

In other words, a space that maintains the strictest boundaries in the world. both visible and invisible. There were swords to protect the emperor anywhere in the palace.

From the time Jin arrived, the royal guards hiding in various places in the palace were also on high alert.

Even if it is to save a person who is falling, as long as this is the imperial palace, the golden guards have an obligation to subdue Jin.

Every movement in the palace had to be universal and common sense. Something like a ‘sudden leap’ was an act of threatening the safety of the emperor.

Shaaaak-!

The swords of the golden guards rushed towards Jin. Jin avoided the attack by spinning his body in the air without drawing his sword.

However, no matter how good Jin was, he couldn’t get away with all the attacks of the golden guards with his bare body. You wouldn’t know if you were on the ground, especially if you were floating in the air with a sense of urgency.

Several blades grazed Jin’s body. Drops of blood splattered riotously because of multiple wounds at once, but they were all minor cuts.

Because he allowed that much injury, there was also a gap. Jin was able to escape between the blades of the golden guards and catch the eunuch on the verge of falling.

“Are you okay?”

At the same time, the swords of the golden guards who fell after them were aimed at Jin in all directions.

“Stop!”

“This is the imperial palace, Jin Runkandel.”

Jin didn’t answer and looked at the condition of the person he saved.

‘He must have been a eunuch.’

I could tell by looking at the clothes. He also noticed the raised scar on the eunuch’s neck and immediately recognized that it was a deliberate wound to prevent him from speaking out.

At this time, there were only two cases in which such a eunuch would fall from the imperial palace spire.

suicide or death.

All other possibilities were extremely slim.

Although it was a reflexive movement in the mind that a person would die.

From the moment Jin jumped up, he thought it was most likely the latter. That the emperor had given the order to surrender. It’s too coincidental that someone’s suicide overlaps with one’s own visit.

I raised the eunuch and looked up at the top of the spire. The Emperor was nowhere to be seen, and the movement of the slowly closing spire windows seemed to raise someone’s lips.

It was obvious why the emperor threw the eunuch in. Intention to see how you react.

‘You’re cheeky.’

Jin shrugged and looked at the golden guards.

“Get rid of it. It was just a greeting from the emperor.”

At those words, the eyes of the golden guards had the intent to kill, but a group of servants panting from a distance were running and screaming.

“Stop the golden guards!”

“You are His Majesty’s guest, how can you show such disrespect!”

The emperor invited Jin as the highest honored guest and arranged appropriate attendants. They were also taken aback by Jin and the emperor’s sudden action, but unlike the golden guards, they immediately recognized the emperor’s intentions and responded accordingly.

“This is Chief Chamberlain Barkam. On behalf of the golden guards, I apologize for the rudeness.”

Jin made eye contact with Barkam for a moment and then said,

“It’s a comfortable seat.”

What is the throne? Even though the back story was omitted, Barkam and the attendants understood the meaning and had no choice but to hide their embarrassing feelings inside.

The other person was rude first, so I decided not to be polite. Outside of Runcandel, there is no one higher in rank than the Runcandel Horseman.

“I will serve you to His Majesty.”

I walked around the palace for about an hour with Barkam and the attendants.

The palace interior showed the extreme of splendor predicted from the grandeur of the exterior. It is the third most powerful group in the world after Ziple and Runcandel, and it is a luxury worthy of the name of the continent’s only empire.

Eventually, when they reached Yongjeon Dragon Hall, the royal guards and bodyguards blocked the camp.

“Return your weapon.”

“hate.”

“What… do you mean?”

“It means to face the emperor with weapons in hand.”

“under?”

“Aren’t the best soldiers in the palace right next to the emperor anyway? If it doesn’t work out, I’ll just go back.”

This was the first time this had happened since the current emperor took the throne.

While the royal guard and the guards were contemplating how to deal with them, a thin voice from a eunuch came from inside the palace.

“He just tells me to stop by!”

The thin, shiny cloth covering the entrance to the audience room was removed, and dozens of courtiers appeared out of nowhere, spreading colorful, palm-sized pieces of cloth on the floor like a long carpet.

As they moved, the courtiers retrieved the pieces of cloth from the overburdened spot and laid new pieces of cloth on the floor that hadn’t been touched yet.

When we reached the point where the piece of cloth ended, the courtiers withdrew into the darkness on either side, and even looking up, we could see the throne, which only seemed high.

Originally, those standing there should bow deeply regardless of their status, but this was not the case for Runcandel and Ziple.

‘Amir Bement…’

Jin thought about the emperor’s name for a moment.

Casimir’s older brother, and in Jin’s previous life, he was originally the owner of Multa’s runes and a human who encourages biological experiments.

‘In my previous life, I only thought of him as a person who was good at walking a tightrope between Runkandel and Ziple. In fact, most people in the world evaluate the current emperor that way.’

The first impression of the emperor was far from the image of being good at walking a tightrope. A coolly stretched nose, thick eyebrows, and dignified eyes shining brightly. He looked like a general who had attained enlightenment in countless wars.

As Jin stared blankly at himself, the emperor opened his mouth first.

“You’ve had a lot of trouble coming, Sir Gene Runcandel.”

“Even the emperor must have had a hard time returning to his seat after the rough welcome ceremony.”

The emperor smiled at the provocative words and actions.

“Were you offended?”

“That’s right.”

“As you have heard, he is a man of fire. Jim was just curious about you.”

“You mean you threw the eunuch in because you were curious about my personality?”

“yes. You’re hot, but you’re a little softer than Jim thought. How can you only look forward?”

The emperor tilted his head and continued talking.

“The eunuch you saved is a felon. I dared to covet the court lady, and Jim personally urged me to withdraw my voice and live a miserable life and become a laughingstock a few years ago.”

“Is that so?”

“How did you put the good guards in danger to save a human who was less than a diseased stray dog?”

Clap clack!

In the darkness on either side of the throne room, there was the sound of bars opening and chains dragging.

From the darkness, the guards who first raised their swords to Jin walked out. All the way to Jin’s throne room, he was severely beaten and covered in blood.

The emperor smiled and continued the story.

“They were flogged and dismissed for failing to prevent the sudden action of the guards, and they had to return all the stipends they had received while serving as the guards. It’s a small punishment compared to not being able to block the element that threatens me, but it’s a tragedy that couldn’t be greater for them.”

Looking at the guards, Jin did not move.

“In other words, Kyung tried to save trash and ruined them and their families. Even this is the land of the imperial palace… Your actions were a serious disrespect from the beginning. Whatever happens here, you have no right to stop it. You prevented the execution of my burden.”

When the emperor spoke forcefully, Jin nodded.

“You say interesting things every phrase.”

“Ask Jim for forgiveness, even now.”

“And there is one misunderstanding.”

“Are you mistaken?”

“Do you think he tried to get a eunuch without knowing that I was being rude?”

The emperor’s eyes narrowed.

“I don’t agree with the emperor’s sophistry, but in the first place, I moved without calculating it. I felt strongly that he was testing me, so I just acted according to my mood.”

“Hahaha…”

“Do you dare to think that the Emperor of Beament can test the standard of Runcandel?”

The Emperor’s laughter stopped.

However, it wasn’t to show displeasure and erase laughter. Rather, the emperor’s eyes were shining as if he was excited.

“There are many swords here that can kill you. Even if I swing the blade and kill you, Runkandel will not retaliate greatly. It’s like Jim took out the angular stone instead. It’s full of justifications.”

It wasn’t entirely wrong.

If the emperor killed Jin, Joshua and his forces could cover the incident in a reasonable way. If only Jin’s body was returned intact.

“I’ve been through situations like this often in my life… There’s something I say every time.”

“Something?”

“Try it if you are confident.”

nice!

Suddenly, the emperor rose from his seat and exclaimed in admiration.

“As expected, you, who broke the Garden of Swords not too long ago, couldn’t find it difficult here. I can only praise you for your guts!”

It seemed that the appearance of clapping hands with a flushed face was genuinely enjoyable.

“Release the guards and reinstate them, then lower the crown.”

When the royal guards took away the royal guards, the emperor smiled once more.

“I think Jim knows a little about you now.”
