I Became the Wife of the Monstrous Crown Prince

Chapter 39 – What does the cat likes? (7)

TL:Zimming

“You’re saying silly things again.”

“What do you mean? My father’s face is like a national treasure. It’s supposed to be used preciously. Don’t you think so too, Eunhan?”

“Oh, of course! Your Majesty is the most handsome man in the country.”

“Hmm.”

When Eunhan joined the compliment, Tenstheon coughed in vain as if he was embarrassed.

He was not immune to the praise, even though he have heard that before.

That side was very similar to Blake.

“That’s enough of your useless words.”

“Yes. Father. I’m leaving now.”

“Don’t come back too late.”

“Don’t worry.”

I grinned and looked at Eunhan.

“Let’s go now.”

“Yes.”

After answering with moderation, he stared at me for no reason, Eunhan hesitated and added.

“…I’m afraid Your Highness will have to hold my hand to use the teleportation magic.”

The moment I heard him, I burst out laughing. Perhaps because he is from a conservative “Chang” country, he is embarassed to hold hands with the opposite sex.

They are the characters of a R-19 romance novel, but why are they so pure?

“Okay, Eunhan, can you escort me to the palace?”

“Yes, I will obey your orders.”

Eunhan approached me and reached out his hand carefully. I held his hand in return.

“Please close your eyes and relax your body.”

I closed my eyes as he told me to. Then a warm feeling wrapped around my whole body.

***

“Please open your eyes. Your Highness.”

I opened my eyes according to Eunhan’s voice. The warm feelings disappeared, and a strong wind was felt instead.

“…Is this the Tenlarn palace?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

I toured the desolate imperial palace full of sand dust. I couldn’t find the splendor of Tenlarn Palace, which was dyed with luxury and enjoyment.

“…It’s desolate.”

It was as if time had stopped here. More than a thousand years have passed since the Tenlarn Palace’s fire, but on the floor the castle’s ashes were horribly scattered.

Some parts of the castle remained. However, even though it had endured a huge flame, it was hard to withstand a thousand years.

“Somehow I feel empty.”

Eunhan carried a handkerchief without saying a word. I looked at him because I didn’t know what to say.

“You look like you’re going to cry,…”

“I’m not going to cry. I just felt a little sad.”

The continent was the heart of the Zelcan Empire, but it was destroyed.

It was burned and eventually disappeared into history.

Even though it was just an old ruin, I was overwhelmed by the traces of flames, and I was also engulfed in vain emotions.

“Why do I feel this way all of a sudden? Even though I’m not so emotional usually…”

“The ground is polluted. The dark power of black magic may have penetrated your mind. Your Highness, don’t you want to go back?”

“No. I’m here already. I’ll look around the palace.”

The Tenlarn palace I saw in the past was all decorated with gold and jewels. No matter how extravagant the Zelcan Empire was, it would not be possible to decorate all the palaces like that.

Maybe the room in my vision was used for special purposes.

As I walked, I saw some palaces that remained unbroken even in the midst of the fire.

Perhaps the room was not swept away by the fire.

Since this was the entrance to Tenlarn Palace, I stepped inside.

The more they entered the inner palace where the emperor and the empress live, the more disastrous the scene unfolded.

“Your Highness, watch your step.”

“Yes…”

I answered weakly.

The Roums attacked the Tenlarn Palace because of emperor Phillip.

The room that was surrounded by gold must be somewhere in the palace.

Still, I had hoped that there would still be places I had seen in my vision, but my heart was pounding when I saw the increasingly disastrous landscape of the palace.

“…Your Highness, the further we go in, the stronger the dark powers are. We better get back.”

“Let me take a closer look.”

As Eunhan said, I began to feel suffocated, perhaps because of the growing dark power. However, even if the room was burned down and disappeared, the stone plate may still be there.

As she walked hopelessly, a huge stone towering in a palace that had been broken so that the original form could not be recognized came into my eyes.

“Eunhan, look at that!”

“It’s a stone plate.”

“Let’s go over there!”

“Your Highness, please wait a moment!”

When I ran, Eunhan quickly followed me. I ran straight to the stone plate.

The stone plate was much thinner than seen from afar. A huge stone over 2.5 meters tall stood in the middle of the palace tangled with mud and sand.

“It’s different in size, but it’s similar to the stone plate taken out from the lake. It’s full of strange engraving.”

As he said, the huge stone plate was clearly inscribed with numerous letters.

“Yes. It’s an ancient language. It’s the Roum’s language.”

“What does it say?”

I raised my head. I could barely see the inscription on the top of the tombstone. I read the letters from above.

“…Rakshul the prince of great Roum, announces.”

— Rakshul the prince of great Roum, announces

Heaven chose the great Roum, and Roum founded the Zelcan Empire according to the will of heaven.

Heaven granted the blood of Roum a splendid gold and a fertile land. He also spoke out the language of God ordered them to take care of foolish people.

Roum grew the Zelcan into a great empire in accordance with the will of heaven and took care of the foolish people.

But the people did not know grace, and dared covet the power of Roum.

Phillip, who had the power of the Goddess of Light among them, destroyed the Zelcan Empire and founded a new one.

The Altar Palace is the heart of the Zelcan Empire, the possession of great Roum.

As Phillip dared to call himself emperor and change the name of the Altar Palace to his will, it is to be deplored.

Thus, on September 1, 687, Rakshul tries to destroy Phillip and the people who dare to take over the place of Roum by burning the dirty Altar Palace to correct the faulty disciple.

The dominion of this continent is only in the hands of great Roum, and all that gold, great earth, the language and knowledge of God, magic and power, all began with the greatness of Roum.

O foolish people, obey to Roum. If you disobey them, God wkll take away everything that has been given you. The land of Khan will be stained with darkness and engulfed in pain forever.

Follow the Roum. This is the last compassion that is bestowed on the foolish people.

Follow the great Roum. Give allegiance to the new emperor Rakshul of Zelcan. Don’t forget to be the people of Zelcan.

“…….”

As she read the inscriptions on the stone plate to the end, Eunhan admired.

“You’re also a polyglot.”

“Not a big deal.”

“No. Your Highness is a special one. I’ve heard that language proficiency is so rare.”

“It’s not like that.”

He would not know, I just accidentally gained power because I came from another world. Such praise was somewhat embarrassing.

“More than that, what do you think of the contents of these?”

“He is blaming the people until the end without reflecting on the fact that he destroyed the country with tyranny. It’s pathetic and vicious.”

“You feel that way, don’t you?”

“Didn’t Your Highness felt like that too?”

“Something’s weird. Isn’t this like a message asking them to swear allegiance to Rakshul and Roum?”

Although he wrote it in a long and formal manner, it was like this to summarize it briefly.

‘If they don’t obey Rakshul and Roum, he’ll burn and destroy everything. But this is not his fault. It’s all because of the stupid people who don’t follow him.’

“Because they are the ones who have always reigned above. They are united with arrogance.”

Of course it could be. However, it was strange to say that it was an expression of Roum’s arrogance.

“Not just that. At that time, the Roums were eager to rebuild the fallen Zelcan Empire. To assassinate Emperor Phillip, he attacked and set fire to the palace. Their biggest enemy is Phillip. But there’s no unusual passage for Phillip on this stone plate.”

“But Phillip, who had the power of the goddess of light earlier, … Aah!”

Eunhan must have realized something strange, so he opened his eyes widely.

“Okay. There are no sentences on this slate that blame Emperor Phillip.”

There was a story about Phillip on the stone plate.

Among them, Phillip, who was empowered by the Goddess of Light, destroyed the Zelcan Empire and founded a new one.

As Phillip dared to call himself emperor and change the name of the Altar Palace to his will, it is to be deplored.

These are the two sentences. But these sentences only indicate the facts, not blame Phillip.
