Regression Life Starting With Two Traits

Episode 105 Why the Emperor Called

The lady-in-waiting who guided us made a puzzled expression at the princess’s call.

“Why?”

Recognizing the maid’s expression, the princess asked, and the maid bowed and said,

“sorry. It’s His Majesty’s name.”

The princess didn’t reprimand the lady-in-waiting who was embarrassed, but smiled brightly and said,

“Don’t worry. Just as I was on my way to Obama.”

“Go, thank you.”

At the lady-in-waiting’s greeting, the princess nodded and looked at us.

“Let’s talk while walking together.”

After leaving the garden, we walked side by side through the imperial corridor and talked.

“Sir Yoo Seo-jun, you said you wanted to ask me something, right?”

“Yes, it seems that the princess also has something to tell me.”

“Sir, questions first.”

After organizing the questions to ask the princess in my head, I said.

“Did you learn swordsmanship or magic?”

“Yes, I learned basic swordsmanship and am pretty good at magic.”

While dancing, he felt mana from the princess and was curious about it.

Then, the teacher must be Penzaric.

“Were you curious about that?”

This was just a confirmation for the next question.

The really important question is now.

“I had to check before asking important questions.”

“What is that important question?”

“Since you experienced the incident at the banquet hall, it would be easier to ask. By any chance, was there any suspicious person inside the imperial family?”

The princess had many attendants.

Even now, dozens of people were following us behind us.

If such people worked in shifts, there must have been some strange ones among them.

If the princess knew how to handle mana, she would have been able to figure it out with a little caution.

“The more you know, the better.”

The princess continued as she answered.

“The imperial family is a place overflowing with suspicious people… … . However, considering the gist of the question, it seems that you are talking about the demons.”

“you’re right.”

As he felt while having a brief conversation at the banquet hall, the princess was an active person.

And she was curious and, above all, wise.

“Some time ago, Master Penzaric started weeding out. Thanks to that work, even Obama acknowledged the existence of demons and prepared for military training.”

The princess knew more about state affairs than she thought.

“Currently, the empire seems stable, but there are elements of instability everywhere.”

“About the East?”

“In fact, the East is less threatening than it is known. Rather, it should be seen that it is going to be a friendly relationship. The real dreadful enemy is within.”

“Then the rumors in the East were because of the rebels.”

It was a guess I could draw from the information I knew.

“you’re right. Of course, the cultural difference with the east will take a long time, but in order to get along better than now, we have to wipe out the rebels first.”

It had only been 20 years since the unified empire had become.

Former royal families, such as the Earl of Gordon, would still be hiding and looking for opportunities.

And the demons must have approached and seduced them.

I’ll give you power, so confuse the empire.

If the demons had that purpose, those who hid in our world would have used a similar method.

It was a great harvest just knowing that.

After hearing my thoughts, the princess nodded.

“So I try to do what I can. That is why I want to see Obama.”

“Then, what was it you wanted to ask me?”

From noble mtl dot com

Now it was the princess’s turn.

“that… … .”

The princess was about to ask a question, but the lady-in-waiting in front spoke first.

“Your Majesty, the Princess and Sir Yoo Seo-Jun’s party have arrived.”

Before we knew it, we were standing in front of the door of the emperor’s throne room.

Soon the door opened and a middle-aged man in a neat suit spoke.

“Meet the princess. Everyone eat inside.”

The attendants who followed the princess stopped following and waited in the hallway.

Upon entering, the emperor rose from his seat and greeted us.

“Welcome the heroes of the Empire.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

I responded to the emperor’s welcome as a representative.

Beside the emperor were the pope and Ariel.

“Ariel, I wondered why I couldn’t see you, so you’re here.”

“Yeah, I was just going to say hello and leave early. Are you okay?”

“Yes, but are you leaving? Where?”

“Wherever, I have to go home.”

Ariel then held up the rapier given to her by the emperor.

“Thanks to Penzarik-sama, we were able to receive data on the gate investigation, which was our original goal, and also found the treasure of the elven family.”

“Then, are the elves also involved in this war?”

The emperor answered my question.

“Thankfully, Ariel-nim told me about the current situation. It would be nice if we could use this incident as an opportunity to resolve the 30-year-old feud with the elves.”

“It must have been 30 years ago that there was a great war.”

“Ah, you guys don’t know. Before the continent was unified, many kingdoms destroyed forests to expand their territory. In the process, a war between elves and humans broke out.”

The emperor continued with a bitter expression.

“And in that war, only Easterners protected the Elves.”

“No way, that’s why we got along badly?”

“That’s right, I moved to unify the empire, and those events were the trigger.”

There must be a story like that.

I understand little by little now.

Why did you hate Easterners so much?

“So, after unification, I have been steadily sending messages of reconciliation to the East and the Elves.”

At the same time, the Emperor gave Ariel a desperate look.

“So, please convey the message well.”

“I knew the heart of the empire well. I’ll do my best to inform you, but I can’t guarantee it either.”

“That was enough. It would be a luxury to wish for more, it is our karma.”

“Then, I will go away.”

“Let it be. I have prepared horses and provisions, so take them.”

“thank you.”

Ariel also greeted us one by one.

“Thank you. If it wasn’t for you guys that day, I wouldn’t have come this far.”

“I just did what I was supposed to do.”

“I don’t know when I’ll see you again, but I hope everyone will be blessed by nature.”

Ariel left and we sat facing the emperor.

Refreshments were set on the table.

“Pieta, do you have anything to say to your father?”

“Yes, I met Sir Yoo Seo-jun’s party on the way and accompanied him.”

“Okay, then I’ll listen to you in a little while.”

“Yes, Obama.”

After talking with the princess first, the emperor looked at me and said,

“The Empire owes a lot to you, so I called you to give you a small gift.”

Weren’t you trying to discuss future schedules?

“I didn’t expect compensation.”

First of all, be polite.

“Heh heh, even if it wasn’t for a reward, he risked his life and fought. Don’t be afraid to take it.”

Then the emperor gave instructions to the servants who were waiting.

Soon, a row of servants appeared carrying something.

“I want you to get up.”

The emperor rose from his seat and held up the scroll brought by the servant in front.

The emperor gave it to me and said.

“I heard from Penzaric that you are from another world. However, in the empire, nobility is given to anyone who has made a contribution. Sir Yoo Seo-jun, you now have the title of honorary count of the empire.”

What is your title?

It was an unexpected reward.

That too, an honorary count.

By the way, what’s the difference between a count and an honorary count?

The title was similar to the Middle Ages on Earth, but I didn’t know what honor meant here.

“thank you. Didn’t even think about it. But, as you said, we are from another world. Would you mind giving me such a high title?”

“So you didn’t give it as an honorary position?”

“Sorry, but I don’t know the difference.”

“Ah, I see. Excuse me for this.”

The Emperor laughed and explained.

“The reason I told you not to be burdened is because it is an honorary position. I don’t have all the rights or responsibilities as a count, but I will prove your identity.”

In a word, it was as if I had obtained an ID that would allow me to live here without notice.

“In that case, we can go around in our real guise.”

“I already heard that through Penzarik. Didn’t you have to hide it because you look similar to the Easterners?”

“Yes, thank you for your consideration, Your Majesty.”

It was not a place I would never return to.

When Penzaric was ready, he had to come back.

“And take this too.”

The next gift the emperor handed over was a triangular shield designed to be mounted horizontally on the arm.

“Is your shield broken? Is that a replica of your firm will?”

“Yes, I guess Master Penzaric heard that too.”

“That’s right, so I asked the imperial blacksmith. I said that I needed a decent shield, and if there was none, I asked to make one, and he found one.”

I checked the information on the shield.

[Grade S] [Guardian’s Will]

A shield that can be mounted horizontally on the arm and is designed for mobility and convenience. A sword of the same length as the shield can be equipped inside the shield.

Various defensive magics of the Archmage are imprinted on it.

As explained, various magic circles were imprinted on the inside of the shield, and there was also a device that could be equipped with a sword.

The length of the sword in my strong will fit well, so I inserted it there and tried to mount it on my arm.

It became more pointy towards the elbow, and because the wrist area was wide, there was no problem in moving the arms and hands freely.

“Is it good?”

“It suits you well. And this is a gift from others.”

Minyoung, Suyeon, and Hyuk also received rewards in turn.

All titles were honorary viscount.

“You understand. I want to give everyone the title of count, but no matter how honorable it is, it’s a position where the number of masters is fixed.”

“no. Thank you for giving me the title.”

The group expressed their gratitude.

Do we, as modern people, have a chance to receive a title?

Everyone fiddled with the scroll as if it were strange.

The emperor, who looked at us happily, said.

“I want to provide you with equipment, but I don’t know what to prepare… When you’re done talking, let’s go together to the Imperial Warehouse. I’ll let you pick one thing at a time.”

We all opened our mouths at the emperor’s continued words.

If it was an imperial warehouse, it would be lined with decent items.

I turned my eyes away from the already happy troubled party and looked at the emperor.

“What you want to talk about is, of course, about future schedules, right?”

Obviously, they didn’t invite us just to give them prizes.

The emperor looked at the princess at my question.

“I want to hear it.”

The princess showed her determination that she could never avoid her seat.

“Then listen together.”

The emperor nodded, sat down, and started talking.

“We are getting ready. Soon after Penzarik completes the gate, he will pass. What will you guys do?”

I had something in mind about that.

“There is nothing more we can do here anyway. So I’m going to go back to our world and prepare.”

“Um, that’s right. If so, how should I contact you that you are ready?”

“I decided to contact Penzarik regularly.”

“Then, will we meet again when we are ready?”

“Yes, at that time our number of people will also come over in large numbers.”

“For that, then we should prepare in advance.”

“I would appreciate it if you would.”

The Pope, who had been quietly listening to our story until then, opened his mouth.

“I have one more thing to discuss.”

The pope opened his mouth and his eyes were on Min-young.

What the pope was trying to say was obvious.

It must be a story about a saint.

Min-young must have sensed it as well, and the Pope said it before opening his mouth.

“I cannot perform the duties of a saint that I wish to be here.”

At Min-young’s resolute refusal, the Pope put on a sad expression, but he wasn’t sore either.

“I was expecting it, you can’t force it. You are not even from our world.”

The pope then added:

“So what I was trying to say was, don’t worry and do your job. The saintess here will be different.”

“yes? I beg your pardon?”

When Min-young asked in surprise, the pope smiled and said,
