Bullied but Popular

42 – Lisbeth Britannia

Silence fell in the party hall.

again and again and again and again

‘… It’s real.’

‘Why is the emperor himself?’

Eyes glowing purple with pure white gray hair.

The high-ranking aristocrats gathered at the party watched with bated breath as she looked beautiful but alien to human appearance.

“It’s been a while, Your Majesty the Emperor.”

When Emperor Lisbeth walked by, King Langritte approached her first and bowed his head.

“It’s been a while, Langrit.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“You’re old.”

“…yes majesty.”

On the surface, the emperor looks like he is in his twenties, and King Langritte is middle-aged, even if he is small.

However, in reality, there was little age difference between the two.

“But, Your Majesty, why did you end up here…”

“I’m here to play.”

“… You did.”

Despite Emperor Lisbeth’s confident words, King Langritte was not taken aback.

‘You’re still the same.’

While King Langritte was thinking about that, Emperor Lisbeth’s gaze turned to Frey.

At that gaze, Frey stepped forward and introduced himself.

“Nice to meet you, Your Majesty the Emperor, my name is Prey Exent.”

Frey’s voice sounded hard, as if he was nervous.

The emperor, who stared at Frey for a while, said with interest.

“Ohh~ You’re amazing, how amazing are you? I wondered if I could hear rumors of you in my ears, but you’re definitely a talented person.”

“It’s too much, Your Majesty. You’ve been lucky.”

“Luck is also skill. We have a son, where should I introduce him?”

“…if you give me a chance, I will be grateful, Your Majesty.”

“You’re a little late in answering. If you don’t like it, there’s no need to force it.”

‘It’s not easy~’

At the emperor’s words, Frey thought only inwardly and glanced around to observe the two men standing on either side of the emperor.

‘I don’t know either.’

I glanced at them for a moment, but I couldn’t see the two of them.

Considering that Frey was a great wizard, the two of them were truly formidable.

At that time, the emperor seemed to be having fun, probably noticing that he had only briefly glanced at me.

“hahahahaha, you look nervous on the outside, but you’re still relaxed.”

“No, how can I…”

“There’s nothing to be so humble about, isn’t he the main character of the day?”

While the conversation between Emperor Lisbeth and Frey continued, Aren was more nervous than anyone else at the party.

‘That person is the emperor…’

Aren glanced at the emperor and slowly began to distance himself.

There was nothing to see on the shore.

A presence that oppresses the mind, that person is High Human, no…

‘It’s power.’

warrant.

It literally means a power close to a miracle.

In terms of type, it’s like a normal gift, but the power of authority is on a different level.

In the world of dreams, Aren had only seen a person with powers once.

The name of his ability is immortality.

It was a truly fraudulent ability to regenerate wounds in an instant from any attack and not die even if the head was cut off.

And now, when a similar wave emanated from Emperor Lisbeth, Aren moved cautiously in a cold sweat.

‘I never thought there would be another crazy ability like that.’

I don’t know what Emperor Lisbeth’s ability is, but if you look at it only in terms of coercion, it’s a higher power than immortality.

The moment Aren is about to leave the party to avoid any misfortune.

“””Stop it.”””

tall

“…!!!?”

At the voice of Emperor Lisbeth, Aren’s legs stopped.

‘… It’s a f*cking scam.’

Aren immediately realized what her power was.

language.

A foul ability that turns words into power.

Aren could feel cold sweat running down his back.

“Isn’t it too much to go without saying goodbye, fellow countryman?”

“……”

again and again and again and again

Saying that, Emperor Lisbeth passed through the party and approached Aren.

Tia and Frey, who were watching this, were overcome with bewilderment inside.

‘what!? what’s the matter!?’

‘this…’

While they were flustered, Emperor Lisbeth looked at Aren and opened her mouth.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, what’s your name?”

“……”

“Hmm, it seems that he doesn’t speak much.”

When Aren remained silent, the knight standing next to the emperor tried to step forward, but the emperor waved his hand lightly and said,

“Don’t step out.”

“yes.”

The emperor turned his gaze back to Aren and said:

“Tell me again, what is your name?”

“… this is Aren Deepus.”

“Okay, I’d like to see your gift, try it out.”

“……”

As Aren did not respond to Emperor Lisbeth’s words, a tense silence flowed into the party hall.

“””Kneel down.”””

thud!

“Keugh.”

“It was nice to see you as a fellow countryman after a long time, but I guess you’re not.”

‘…Haa, I’m pissed off.’

Far from being intimidated, Aren felt deeply upset.

Tia’s friends keep arguing with her, and she’s in a very bad mood.

But this time, His Majesty the Emperor raises a dispute.

Perhaps because of this, or because of the drunkenness, Aren felt a deep sense of rebellion.

Interference

‘… Gravity is also moving.’

Her flow, which had been entangled with the emperor’s commandments, was untied by interference, but her commandments seem to affect even nature.

Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa

“what!?”

“Nonsense!!!?”

Aren wore an aura all over his body to resist the gravitational force that was holding him down, and slowly stood up, and the emperor’s aides looked at him with astonished eyes.

“Oh!”

As if the emperor was surprised, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Aren, but the shore of Aren looking at her was cold.

Either that or not, Emperor Lisbeth looked into Aren’s eyes and started talking about what was so exciting.

“It’s wonderful! There are not even five people on the continent who have resisted this much against my commandments!”

As the emperor said that, he stroked Aren’s face with a sympathetic gaze.

“Besides, these beautiful eyes are really coveted. This is your gift. It’s a very cool ability!”

“……”

No matter what Emperor Lisbeth said, Aren’s coast glared at her with a cold glow.

At that, Emperor Lisbeth removed his hand from Aren’s face and said.

“Hmm, I must have offended you. Wait a minute.”

scolding

Having said that, Emperor Lisbeth snapped her fingers and the gravity that had been holding down Aren disappeared.

However, Aren did not reap his aura and glared at the emperor with a wary gaze.

“I’m sorry, Your Majesty, but I’ll stop being a small person.”

“No, shouldn’t we make Jim more enjoyable?”

“As a small person, the impossible happens.”

“hehehe, you’re still having fun enough, there must be a human who can speak comfortably to the emperor somewhere like you.”

“There was not a single comfortable word in my remarks, Your Majesty.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Emperor Lisbeth didn’t erase her smile throughout the story about how interesting it was.

Thanks to that, the nobles at the party looked at the two with surprised expressions.

‘How did the emperor of Britannia react like that?’

‘Was there a High Human in Korea?’

‘That guy is Sir Tristan’s disciple.’

At the emperor’s unexpected reaction, nobles from other countries and Iggent’s high-ranking nobles watched Aren and the emperor closely.

However, regardless of how people reacted, Emperor Lisbeth’s attention was directed only to Aren.

“Hmm~ Just happened to be my daughter… No, it’s a waste to give it to her…”

‘Dangerous…’

After hearing Emperor Lisbeth’s incomprehensible self-talk, Aren slowly came to his senses and began to devise a way out of the current situation by releasing the aura.

‘For now, the emperor’s attention to someone else…’

At that moment, the emperor looked at Aren and said.

“Aren Difus.”

“yes.”

“Do you have any intention of becoming Jim’s concubine?”

“…?”

“……?”

“……?”

At the emperor’s words, silence once again fell in the party hall.

‘Did I hear that wrong?’

‘What about the concubine…’

‘You drank too much.’

As Emperor Lisbeth’s words sounded too unrealistic, the members of the party began to judge that they had heard them wrong.

However, Emperor Lisbeth spoke again as if he was not mistaken.

“Be my concubine, Aren Deepus, I’ll give you anything you want.”

“… are you kidding?”

“I’m serious.”

“……”

When Aren couldn’t speak out of embarrassment, a man who seemed to be a wizard among the emperor’s aides stepped forward.

“Your Majesty, you’re too lazy.”

“I’m serious.”

“This is a foreign country, please keep your cool.”

“What is the problem?”

Emperor Lisbeth said, puffing on her breasts.

“I’m a little older, but my physical age is still not inferior to those in their 20s.”

“It doesn’t matter, lower your voice…”

“Aren! Tell me! Even if Jim looks like this, his body is…”

“Lance, grab your majesty.”

When I thought of the usual emperor, it was not strange to say anything.

The wizard, who quickly judged the situation, asked for help from his colleagues and went into a teleport cast.

And at the words of the wizard, the knight next to the emperor covered her mouth and hugged her so that she could not move.

The magician immediately turned his gaze to King Langrit and said.

“His Highness the King, we’ll be on our way.”

“… let’s go.”

“Teleport.”

“Eup! Eup!”

dig

As the wizard used his magic as soon as he finished speaking, the emperor and his party disappeared into the light.

“……”

“……”

The imperial family appears like a typhoon and disappears like a breeze.

After a moment of silence in the party, people’s eyes naturally turned to Aren, but when he disappeared, Aren was nowhere to be seen.

***

“You’re crazy.”

As soon as the emperor moved to the teleport, Aren escaped as if he were running away from the party.

Looking at the darkened night sky, Aren felt tired and took off his outer garment.

“Whoa… did you come here for nothing?”

Aren sat down to rest in a nearby fountain.

It wasn’t long before my body felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

“Anyway, what is the Emperor thinking?”

It was the place where envoys from other countries had come.

To propose to Aren in such a place was beyond understanding and absurd.

“Here you are.”

“… Tia.”

While Aren was contemplating, Tia approached and spoke to him.

“What were you thinking… are you okay?”

“what?”

Tia, who was about to nag as usual, stopped nagging and spoke in a worried voice when Aren didn’t look good.

“Why are you sweating like this? Are you okay?”

“It’s okay, it’s because I forcibly used an aura.”

Aren said nothing and looked away.

“I’m fine, so stop going. The party isn’t over yet.”

“Is the party important? Don’t you know how you look right now? You look really bad right now.”

Saying that, Tia grabbed Aren’s arm and dragged him.

“Let’s go to the palace councilor, since it’s close, I’ll guide you.”

“It’s okay, just rest a little.”

“Jim! Listen to me!”

“It’s really okay, let go.”

Aren forcibly untied Tia’s hand and returned to the fountain.

“Whoa.”

“… Aren over there.”

“why?”

“… I’m sorry about that earlier.”

When Tia suddenly apologized, Aren looked at her face and asked.

“But why are you angry?”

“… just.”

“what?”

“Sorry, I just felt bad.”

“……”

At Tia’s answer, Aren looked at her as if he was dumbfounded, then looked away again.

“Well, there will be days like that.”

“But why are you like that?”

“what?”

“Why did you show your ability?”

“If I didn’t show it? Did I just skip it?”

“…But wasn’t that too rude to His Majesty the Emperor?”

“I don’t know, I was pissed too.”

At Aren’s words, Tia looked at him for a moment and asked.

“Is it because of me?”

“What are you talking about? I was mad at the emperor.”

“Really? Then I’m glad… But what do you do now?”

“What else?”

“Your Majesty, you were proposed to.”

“What is the proposal?”

Aren snorted and closed his mouth, and Tia quietly sat next to him without asking any further questions.

“……”

“……”

rumbling

As the cool night breeze passed the two of them, Aren’s mood seemed to ease a little, and a smile appeared on his face.

“… Cool.”

“I know.”

Aren affirmed Tia’s words, and there was no further dialogue between the two.

However, it wasn’t awkward, and despite being in a large space, I felt only unknown coziness.

‘Sometimes this is okay…’

The moment Tia feels that way.

“Tia!”

“… ha.”

Tia’s friends were gathering to her.
