Huh? Are they all real?...

"I do not know who you are."

However, after saying this, the radiance of the sacred tree gradually faded away.

Iron Fist Haro's lips twitched as well.

"Trajan! You damned Trajan!"

Even if one's appearance changes completely, only the soul, as the essence, remains unchanged.

He will never forget this person.

This was the man who killed the crown prince he was responsible for protecting, forcing him to join forces with Hassanq and others to split his own country.

Even though he inadvertently gained the Sequence 2 extraordinary ability and that treasure preserved by the Loyman royal family.

But that was also a tremendous disgrace.

As the guardian, he actually watched the crown prince be killed right before his eyes!

Moen simply smiled and waved his hand in response to Harlow's accusations and angry outbursts.

"Stop pretending. You're actually overjoyed. Even though you didn't intend to split your country or kill Crown Prince Leuman, whom you're protecting, you're still happy to see all of this happen."

"Because it should have been your line that inherited the throne. You are not a knight, neither in status nor in mind. You have no knightly principles. You are just a guardian who acted as a gesture of reconciliation with the royal family."

"Besides, you obtained that extraordinary trait that was rightfully yours, didn't I?"

Harrow fell silent for a long time before finally saying helplessly:

“You’re right, Lord Turajin.”

"But may I ask a question?"

"what?"

"Why did Hassank help you split the Leuman Empire? For that, he even killed his own emperor?"

Moen's killing of the Loyman crown prince was the trigger, but the fundamental reason for the collapse of the Loyman Empire was the emperor's sudden death.

Harrow sighed and said:

"Because this is for the best. The emperor is too obsessed with power. His only son is dead, and the only person who could make him willingly hand over power is dead."

What do you think he'll do? What do you think we'll do?

Moen knew all this, and he nodded, saying:

"He will purge you, the collateral branches with inheritance rights, and then have a child of his own to inherit his power. But you will not sit idly by; there will be internal strife and even civil war."

“But this is common, and I don’t quite understand why Hassank would risk the division of the empire for this.”

Harrow smiled wryly:

"Because none of us, like you, expected it to turn out this way. We just thought that after the lonely emperor died, I or my brother could directly inherit the country."

"Just like before!"

Hearing this, Moen finally understood.

It turns out that they only wanted to kill the emperor to stop the internal strife from escalating, but none of them expected that the emperor's death would trigger such a huge chain reaction.

"It seems you're hiding problems even more deeply than we are."

Hello said with increasing self-deprecation:

"It should have been expected that the Crown Prince was pushing so hard to attack you from the south because he had discovered these problems and wanted to divert attention from the conflict by using external war."

"He didn't expect you to be such a good fighter. He was killed by you as soon as the battle started. We didn't even realize that this young man had noticed the problem."

"That's incredibly stupid, it was then, and it's still now."

Moen didn't say anything more.

From their respective perspectives, neither of them can be said to be wrong.

So remain silent and serve your own identity.

"Hassank is dead, and so is the Supreme One Anstise Kodal he welcomed back. Your plans have completely failed."

"Did you kill them?"

Haro felt conflicted. On one hand, he thought it was impossible, since Moen was just a mortal. On the other hand, it seemed quite reasonable, given that it was Trajan.

“I killed Hassank. His body is just ahead. When you go back, please take him home for a proper burial.”

"How did the god Anstise die?"

Seeing the confused Harrow, Moen said to him with utmost seriousness:

“I know you are now a Sequence Two angel, a very important person. But, Hello Angel.”

"I still have to give you a piece of advice: there are some things you'd better not know."

"After all, angels are just mortals. Aren't they?"

Looking at the radiant glow of the sacred tree overhead, Haro immediately said:

“I think you are right, Lord Thujan.”

Moen was very satisfied with Harlow's actions, but why hadn't the Queen arrived yet?

Although Moen was somewhat relieved that he didn't have to face the Queen, whom he didn't know how to face, Haro had already come, so the Queen shouldn't have been absent.

Thinking of this, Moen couldn't help but look up at the still-present glow of the sacred tree.

Moen suddenly understood.

'Oh no, it's over.'

Chapter 84 You will go to hell, Trajan!

Sequence One is magnificent, truly extraordinary.

Each chief god's archangel can only be a Sequence One.

But compared to the gods, even a Sequence One is just a mortal.

Truly great gods would even present their archangels as gifts to their kings.

This world is so rigidly hierarchical that there is no possibility of breaking it.

So if it's a sacred tree, the Empress really wouldn't be able to find it.

She's probably still circling around there.

The sacred tree must also think that I don't want to see the Queen yet.

Although that's what I really think, things will only get more and more complicated this way.

Especially now that the Queen knows I'm here, but I haven't shown up yet!

Oh, my sacred tree, you meant well but did something wrong!

No, the sacred tree probably didn't consider this a big deal.

The Sacred Tree probably never really cared about a human woman who wasn't even an elf.

Of course, this is nothing; Moen can just go find the Queen later.

The problem is that after being silent for so long, Moen's pocket watch has finally started to flicker slightly.

Moen is going back.

If they disappear for a few more days, or even a month or two...

Just thinking about it gave Moen a headache.

"Lord Trajan, so what's the situation with you?"

Harlow's words brought Moen back to reality.

Is there any possibility of an alliance between the Southern Territory and us?

Haro thought that was unlikely. If Tula really didn't die, then there must have been some secret they didn't know about back then.

But there's no harm in asking, what if it works out?

Moen shook his head and said:

"There is no possibility of an alliance between the Southern Territory and you. Let's talk about terms, Hello."

"What conditions?"

"Conditions for your safe return home."

Shouldn't this be something Queen Baratheon and I should be discussing?

Why you, the thief who stole the country?

Having finally begun to taste something, Harlow stared wide-eyed in astonishment and said:

"You wouldn't have pretended to be dead for twenty years just for this, would you? You incomprehensible madman!"

Harrow simply couldn't believe that someone would fake their death for twenty years just to frame them.

How can there be such evil people in this world?!

No wonder the legion that should have been stationed in the south to guard against a sudden northward advance from the southern border was transferred to the eastern and western borders without reservation by that woman Ansa.

She knew from the beginning that the Southern Territory wouldn't attack, and that it might even become an ally if necessary.

Moen waved his hand and said:

"No, that's not it. But you don't need to ask any more questions. Just know that talking to me is the same as talking to the Queen."

"You still say no?!"

Harrow was absolutely furious.

Moen looked at him in disbelief, then said something incredulous:

Why do you think you're worth doing this for?

How can you not recognize yourself?

You all created your own divisions back then, and you can't even recognize your own limitations?

One sentence was enough to leave Hello speechless.

Are we not worth it?!

We seem to be unworthy.

Their empire was already fragmented, and they didn't even have an angel.

He relied on a top-tier level zero sealed artifact. He truly couldn't think of a way to deal with the invincible Trajan.

I'm afraid that once this guy arrives, a large number of nobles will surrender without a second thought.

Haro fell into a long silence, while Moen looked at the holy tree's radiance above his head, hoping it would dissipate soon.

Otherwise, Moen was really afraid that he would miss the Queen and then something unexpected would happen.

“Alright, Lord Turajin, what do you want?”

"The level zero sealed artifact in your possession."

"Don't even think about it!"

This was once the foundation of the Loyman Empire, and it is now the most important national treasure of the Duchy of Loyman.

He will never hand this over unless he dies.

Even the fact that Moen could buy 0-007 is because nobody knows how to use it.

"Then we'll just wait for all your hundreds of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of nobles to die here, and then watch you fall into internal strife."

The lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers are not important; it simply means that the entire country will be in a state of decline for a period of time.

But the nobles were different.

If they die, the social system based on aristocracy will be lost.

"I can take our country's treasures back with me, and the Duchy of Loman can weather this storm!"

"Don't try to scare me. You can't kill me, otherwise you wouldn't need to negotiate with me."
