Rebirth Just Before The 10th Circle

And Merlin who led this situation from start to finish...

“Cook. So you should always be careful with your snout.”

He giggled as he looked at the bewildered Earl Powells.

Seeing Merlin like that, Winston muttered.

“…it’s like the devil.”

Winston's shoulders trembled in fear.

Imperial Palace Banquet (6)

Imperial Palace Banquet (6)

At first it was just entertainment.

Because a boy named Merlin is so proud.

Where did that confidence come from... I was curious about that, so I didn't have a sense of encouraging the situation.

By the way.

Pot!

The situation changed suddenly as a light burst from the feet of Count Powells, who had been on the podium and extended his situation.

“········································································?!”

The emperor, who had placed a chair on one side and watched the podium, jumped up to his feet.

He was originally scheduled to announce the start of the banquet where he himself was the stage.

A strange thing was happening where Earl Powells was claiming his innocence.

[Enzo was the child who would become the next king of the academy that I founded. Do you know what it means for such a guy to have been subjected to slavery and not commoners?!]

Count Powells certainly existed, but another Earl Powells appeared on the podium.

Everyone knew it was an illusion.

However, it was too vivid and sophisticated to be dismissed as a mere illusion.

Isn't even the voice heard there the same as that of Earl Powells, who had claimed innocence a while ago?

“That?!”

It was not only the emperor who was surprised.

Many aristocrats watching the situation could not help but be astonished.

In particular, the faces of the three dukes surrounding Count Powells were hardened.

Meanwhile, at that moment the Emperor looked at someone other than Count Powells.

The main character who caught the emperor's attention.

he started to move

Tub Tub-

It was again Merlin who moved alone among the bewildered crowd.

He stood on the podium, leaving Earl Powells behind, still enthralled.

The video Merlin played at the right time also lost its light and disappeared.

Merlin opened his mouth, looking at the dazed crowd.

“How did you guys enjoy watching it?”

At that moment, people began to wake up one by one to Merlin's story.

“A little while ago… what was…?”

“What is that?”

A commotion spread from all over the place.

Merlin smiled and said calmly.

“What you saw a while ago is a video I recorded myself a few days ago.”

"recording?"

"video?"

Merlin responded kindly to the surprised voices of the crowd.

“I am a senior researcher at the National Laboratory. This is one of the results of our research in our laboratory, and it is a technology that reproduces the actual situation in a crystal ball as it is.”

The director and the deputy director did not come to the royal palace banquet.

So Merlin could lie very openly.

Of course, it wasn't entirely a lie.

If you bring your own video sphere to the lab, it will be one of the research results.

As the crowd roared at Merlin's words, Earl Powells, who was awakened just then, shouted in a fitful way.

“Hey, that’s a lie! Hawk, I swear! This has never happened!”

There was another commotion at the cry of Earl Powells.

However, the bustle was completely different from the previous trend.

“Is it true?”

“Ummm…”

If the previous rumours were in sync with the story of Earl Powells, the rumours that are taking place now contain many doubts and suspicions.

Count Powells could not have known this.

“No, that is absurd! Hey, how could this be possible? You are playing with magic!”

Earl Powells was desperate.

He had no choice but to do so.

Who is in this banquet hall now?

And to whomever he lied.

He was the absolute ruler of this empire.

If it was found out that the video was true, the work after that was beyond his control.

‘No, we have to stop it!’

It was at stake for his own life and for the survival of his family.

He was desperately in denial to turn public opinion and somehow had to rectify the situation.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

That was then.

thud-

A heavy sound rang through the banquet hall.

The gaze of the left crowd naturally turned to the back of the sound.

There, the emperor and the captain of the guards rose from their seats.

The sound a while ago was the sound of the captain of the guards hitting the floor with his sword.

The audience's attention was focused on the sound of the mana being loaded, and the emperor slowly walked forward while the surroundings became quiet.

bum bum-

As the emperor moved, the nobles along the way bowed and split left and right.

The Emperor, who had reached the podium, opened his mouth, looking at Merlin and Count Powells.

“It’s fun. I started it just to cheer up the banquet... and it really got me excited.”

The emperor slowly raised the corners of his lips.

It was a small smile, but no one present thought it was a smile.

It was a warning and a threat.

“Earl Powells.”

“Yes, yes... Your Majesty.”

At the emperor's call, the count bowed his head deeply.

The emperor looked at him with cold eyes.

“I was very impressed with your passionate vomit on the podium. he said you The report you gave me was unmistakably true.”

“Yeah, yes.”

“But what is happening now is quite different from what you said.”

“Lung, Your Majesty! This is not true! I am innocent. All of this is the scheme of that young, wicked bastard.”

The count, who shouted at the emperor, glanced at the place where the three dukes were.

He wants them to come out and protect him.

However, the peacocks did not take it easy.

Even the peacocks knew it.

Things are going horribly, and if you make a single mistake here, you will be unlucky.

So the dukes just watched the situation without a word.

Only the inside of Count Powells burned black by the footsteps of those who believed.

'Damn you bastards! You saved so much money for a time like this, but you don't even budge!'

Looking at it roughly, the dukes who had been eating the count's money in the past didn't seem to want to come forward.

Now all he had left was to convince the emperor somehow.

The Count bowed his head again and cried out desperately.

“Believe me, Your Majesty! Me and Count Powells have been loyal to the Empire! Please do not be deceived by the schemes of a young man who only uses such magic!”

"is it?"

“Sir, give me a little more time and I will explain! I will prove it to be a lie and not a real one!”

“That’s right.”

The clinging of the mournful Count.

And in the end, the question of the emperor was not directed to the count.

It was right for Merlin.

Merlin answered with a sullen face.

“It’s witchcraft… a lie.”

"Merlin. Do you know what you are doing now?”

"I do not know. I'm just letting people know of my injustice and showing what I know."

“If what you said is not true, will you be punished for insulting the nobles as well as disrespecting the imperial family?”

At the emperor's cold voice, Merlin picked up the crystal ball that was rolling on the floor.

Then he infuses mana into his orb.

OK.

hwaat-

The light went out again.

The video played with him was different from the one before.

[I was very impressed with your passionate vomit on the podium. you said The report you made to me is unmistakably true.]

·······

[Poetry, give me a little more time and I will explain! That's not real, it's a hoax, and I'll prove it to be a lie!]

What was flowing out in this video was the appearance of the emperor and the count.

It was the same as what a lot of people all watched just a moment ago.

Merlin, who showed this confidently, said in a calm voice.

“Witch? Did you say it was a lie? That's weird. The video sphere I made is working very well like this.”

There was a chilling silence over Merlin's story.

In addition, the emperor's gaze, which was as cold as the surrounding atmosphere, turned to Count Powells.

It was a simple gaze without a word, but that made the Count dry even more.

The Count, pale and tired, shouted again.

“Oh, no! Absolutely not!”

“·················ogue.”

“Hey, Enzo! you tell me once! What this grandpa said is true!”

The Count stretched out his hand towards his grandson, who was watching the situation from under the podium.

As a result, the eyes of the left turned to Enzo.

Enzo suddenly got attention.

The blood disappeared from Enzo's face, which was still stiff and stiff.

“That, that….”

Embarrassed, Enzo could not easily open his mouth.

Large drops of sweat ran down his forehead.

Count Powells shouted at his grandson, who could not easily open his mouth.

“You bastard Enzo! Why can't I tell you the truth!"

“Hey, Grandpa!”

The feeling of blood drying out was the same for the Count as well as Enzo.

Enzo had no worries until his grandfather climbed onto the podium.

Numerous nobles looking at his grandfather.

They did not think that even if their grandfather said anything on the podium, they would only take the side of the commoners.

In fact, the whole atmosphere went that way.

If only that damn bizarre video didn't show up.

‘Oh, what should I do?’

Enzo rolled his eyes.

A soft voice rang out through his ears.

“Did you say Enzo?”

No matter how crazy he was, he was not enough to ignore the emperor's question.

Enzo hurriedly bowed his head.

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“Answer me. Is what your grandfather said true?”

“That, that….”

“You will have a good answer. Your answer will determine whether the wrath on Count Powells will increase, or whether it will end with the Count Powells line.”

“········································································?!”

At the emperor's words, Enzo couldn't help but feel terrified.

In addition, Enzo could be sure.

It means that the Emperor has already concluded that all of Count Powells' words are false.

Enzo realized this and answered with a weeping cry.

“I, I… well, I don’t know.”

It was the best answer Enzo could give.

A situation in which he could neither deny his grandfather nor shatter his family to ashes.

It was the best path that Enzo could choose in the extreme two-way road.

However, no one there knew that Enzo's answer was actually to abandon his grandfather and choose a family.

"···Right."
