Rebirth Just Before The 10th Circle

or.

‘Or use an influence that exceeds the power of information I am using to constantly erase their traces.’

Merlin scored the latter more highly than the former.

“Actually, if you’ve grown your influence by hiding in the shadows for a long time, it’s natural that you can’t ignore it.”

They've been preparing for over a thousand years, but Merlin only chased them for a year.

'I thought it was too easy.'

I thought that if I could find one of the sect's branches and ride them back, one day I could reach their stronghold.

But, let alone their headquarters, they couldn't find a single branch of them.

‘Didn’t you say you were going to be a little softer back then? If that was the case, I might have left a mark by working hard by now...'

At the time, the clash with Morgan and Mars and showing too much of their abilities might have been a warning to them.

Previously, I had to hide away from them, but now that I have to pursue them, it is only a pity that I lost so much to Morgan at the time.

'There is still time. No matter how much they hide, there is no one who doesn’t come out first.’

Merlin put on a fishy smile as he thought of the denomination that was hiding somewhere.

A poisonous species that won't let go once you bite it.

He will now show you how stupid he was to touch him.

That was when Merlin was awakening his envy towards his denomination.

“Ta, Top Lord!”

It was noisy outside.

Soon after, a group of people rushed into Merlin's office.

“Taaaaab Lord!”

The one who visited Merlin's office was the Archduke of Avalon's sign room.

One of Merlin's eyebrows twitched at the visits of those who normally wouldn't even come to her office.

"What. As a group?”

“Wow, that’s a big deal!”

It was Kay who was making his fuss.

he said with a contemplative face.

“Lord, I’m dead!”

"Who?"

“The Crown Prince!”

"What?! Lucian?! what a bastard! Someone touched our youngest!”

Merlin woke up in surprise.

Sasha slapped Kay on the back to calm him down and took over her words.

“No, there is nothing wrong with Lucian. The one who died is the Crown Prince of the Schmatt Empire.”

“Smart…? Are you talking about the sword?”

Sasha asked, tilting her head in a tone that felt something friendly.

"knife? Did you know him?”

“I know. He owes me a drink.”

Merlin's face hardened slightly.

It wasn't long before she shared a drink with Carl and Sirocco's River.

But she never expected that all of a sudden she would hear the news of his passing.

Merlin asked himself.

“Anyway, it doesn’t matter. Why did a man who had always been alive and well die all of a sudden? When?”

“We heard the news today, and Prince Carl’s body was found three days ago.”

“Three days ago…?”

Merlin tilted his head.

The Archduke then took over the words of her daughter.

“It wasn’t that the body was actually found, but it was said that Prince Carl’s servant brought the body. Prince Carl's escort."

At the Archduke's words, Merlin followed her sword and remembered her hiding existence.

asked Merlin.

“A sign?”

“It’s a murder.”

“Huh… what kind of madman killed the Crown Prince of the Schmatt Empire?”

“There is still a lot to talk about. It is presumed that Prince Carl suffered a disgrace when he returned to Schmatt from the summit. At that time, the prince was attacked and died on the spot, and the only surviving escort named Drek, who carried the prince's body, was in a coma. By the way···."

“What else do you have?”

“That Drek is awake.”

A gleam flashed in Merlin's eyes.

The only witness to the scene where the Crown Prince was assassinated.

He would know.

who killed the prince

Merlin asked.

“Who are you? behind the scenes.”

"Kwan... the Empire."

The archduke's expression darkened as he answered.

This time he asked a question.

“Is there any problem between Kwan and the Crown Prince of Schmatt at the summit?”

“It’s a problem…”

At that moment, a memory flashed through Merlin's mind.

He unconsciously pulled it out of his mouth.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

“Ummm… that quan or quan-like kid was staring at the sword like it was going to kill him…”

Winston asked in surprise.

“I am really?”

"Huh···."

“Why, why?”

“Well… why?”

“·················ogue.”

Seeing Merlin slowly avoiding his gaze, the crowd remembered the same thing.

‘This is a human!’

‘What else happened there?!’

He said as if Merlin was making excuses for the stinging gaze that flew at him.

“Anyway, it’s not about me.”

“…we didn’t say anything, did we?”

“You said it anyway! Anyway!"

Merlin frowned again, immersed in her concerns for a moment.

'At the time, the relationship between the two seemed to be bad, but it was close to a sense of competition. Even Kwan's kid didn't look foolish enough to aim for the sword's neck.'

' asked Merlin, her chin lightly touching her chin.

“Did you have any other information?”

“Well… we also heard this news through Mr. Lucian…. As it is the death of Crown Prince Schmatt, not many people seem to know yet. That's because they're also in control of the information. They said it was information that the imperial family only found out.”

"Hmm···."

Kay asked Merlin in her troubles.

“Lord, how do you see the situation going?”

“It’s obvious.”

There was a chill in Merlin's eyes as he answered.

“First, the work of revealing the truth of Carl will proceed. And... a lot of blood will flow. Whether it’s Schmatt, Kwan, or any other country.”

“What is that….”

“It sounds like there is a war going on.”

“Wait, is that really true?”

At Kay's question, Merlin stuck out her tongue.

Even in this day and age, small conflicts still occur, but in Merlin's view, it was more like a fight between children in a neighborhood alley rather than a conflict.

So Merlin could understand Kay's reaction.

‘Because the peace was long.’

With the exception of small conflicts, the last major war on the continent was already over 200 years ago.

In other words, people in the present age know about battle, but do not know about real war.

And I could feel Merlin's experience of many wars.

The bloody smell of the battlefield that blows deeply.

Also, Merlin sensed something about her in it.

‘I think… something is strange.’

She couldn't really explain what was weird.

It was a sense.

An ominous feeling that this issue should not be taken lightly.

He picked up his coat.

“Where are you going?”

“Drinking friend Jo Moon.”

When the bewildered people looked at Merlin, his new model had already disappeared.

***

The Imperial Castle of the Schmatt Empire was engulfed in sorrow.

The body of the sword returned to the Imperial Palace by the warriors of the desert.

The death of Karl, who was gentle and affectionate unlike his status as Ladan, made many people sad.

The Emperor of the Schmatt Empire mourning him was quieter than ever.

just- just-

The passage of the imperial castle engulfed in silence.

There was a woman walking alone in it.

A white cloth wrapped around her body and her shiny purple hair.

Covering half of her face with a veil, she moved on without hesitation.

where she finally arrived.

It was in front of a more gorgeous door than any other room.

“Open it.”

The woman waiting at the door at her command bowed deeply and pushed the door.

Then, white steam gushing out of the door.

Despite the scorching heat and moisture, the woman entered it without hesitation.

A huge bath came into her sight.

She stared at the splendid bath without any emotion.

And there was only one person soaking in a bath that could be used by dozens of people.

Clap Clap-

The woman went straight into the bath, not caring that her clothes got wet.

She made her way through the current that reached her thighs.

Even though her wet white cloth clings to her body, revealing the curves of her body, she did not show any shame in the woman.

She gently soaked herself next to a middle-aged man in Jeolla.

The bright red eyes exposed over her veil stared at her man in Jeolla.

At the same time, her sticky, luscious voice flowed from her.

"Shura... my child is dead."

The moment the woman's voice resounded in her bath, there was a faint wave in the water.

hard-

At the same time, Shura Mahamud Absel Schmat, the ruler of the strongest empire, awakened.

Thundering Continents (2)

Thundering Continents (2)

said the woman once more.

“Karl . . . the child is dead.”

She “heard.”

The emperor's face was expressionless as he answered.

It was not the expression of a parent who had lost a child at all.

It was as if he had heard the news that someone who had nothing to do with him had died.

It was an expression of insensitivity that I could not understand at all.

Her eyes fluttered at this.

“How…how are you so cruel?”

watery voice.

Unbearable, she took off her veil that was covering her face.

Then, the face of a beautiful woman who appeared to be in her early 30s was revealed.

Empress Rebecca.

She was the real age of the emperor of the Schmatt Empire and the mother of swords, in her mid-forties.

Nevertheless, Rebecca, who still boasts of her 30s-like beauty, has dominated her emperor's love since her youth with her natural color and beauty.

As she grew older, she still radiated a color that drives men crazy, and she was still loved by the emperor, beating out many of her concubines.

In the Schmatt Empire, perhaps the second most powerful being after the emperor.

No, some pompoms said.

She said the Schmatt empire might be spinning with her pillow-head litigation.

And the only thing Rebecca cherished after the emperor was her son, Carl.

As she wept over her pain of losing her child, the emperor raised her body.

Soon after, the maids who were hiding in the blind spot of her bath came and wiped the water.

The emperor, dressed in her clothes, opened his mouth.

“It’s not that I don’t know your pain. But be careful. Now is the time to be careful.”

Having said that, the emperor left the bath.
