47 – A creeping threat (4)

A place covered in darkness where you can’t even see an inch in front of you.

In the quiet darkness, there was a round table made of old wood placed in the center.

And the people surrounding the round table looking at each other.

“Are there still people who walk on their hands?”

“It looks like there’s a problem in the area he’s in charge of.”

“Tsk, he seems like a frustrating guy. He can’t handle a single thing properly.”

Ambrosia, controlled the empire from behind and eventually turned even the emperor into a puppet.

These were the final dark scenes of the story that Harvey was so wary of and cautious about.

The people surrounding the round table are executives of Ambrosia.

They all had a perverse idea of devouring the world and sacrificing it as a living sacrifice just for the sake of their master’s resurrection.

“So today’s meeting is for everyone except those who walk on their hands?”

“It’s been a while since the meeting was held. Shouldn’t you come and get some information?”

“Are you treating us as informants?”

“Oh my? Did it sound like that? I’m sorry~”

“…one thousand and one years.”

“Now, let’s both stop and proceed with the meeting quickly since some comrades may not have time.”

A situation where everyone has their faces covered and only each other’s voices are known.

Ambrosia did not show their faces to each other just in case.

This was not only to prevent information leaks, but also to prevent the killing of members of the organization who were not on good terms.

The members of the organization had the same goal but took completely different paths, and fights broke out every now and then.

“The emperor’s daughter has recently been installed.”

“…That princess?”

“Yes, Princess Aria. It seems the emperor sensed something was unusual.”

“Tsk, there must be something in that bloodline?”

“It can’t be helped, because special powers are inherited in the emperor’s blood.”

“So, does the princess know how to use the revealed power properly?”

“Not yet. The manifestation of power is not yet complete.”

The topic of the meeting was about the imperial princess Aria.

Princess Aria, a being who has begun to grow in strength rapidly over the past few years.

Although it was still only a suspicion, the princess seemed to have noticed their organization Ambrosia.

He was opposing the will of his puppet father and creating his own independent force.

Of course, this is not a private soldier’s concept, but rather a right afforded to those born with the bloodline of the emperor.

There was no choice due to the legal provisions that stated that one must take charge of a knighthood and remain forever loyal to the empire.

No matter how much Ambrosia controlled the empire from behind, she could not touch the law that stood at the foundation of the empire.

If their organization were to leak out, the great mission of resurrecting their master would be in vain.

To that end, we have worked hard for a long time.

He supported a bastard who was gnashing his teeth in anger at being pushed around by his older brother, made him emperor, and then used him like a puppet.

Everything in the empire went in Ambrosia’s favor, and as a result, the size of the organization was able to increase.

Ambrosia’s enemies were the emperor’s enemies.

“…Why don’t we just tell the emperor?”

“It’s hard to believe, the princess is respected by the people of the empire. If you step forward too hastily, the organization will leak out.”

“There are quite a few forces that support the princess.”

“Isn’t the support force still weak?”

“It is true that there is support, even if it is weak, and that alone makes it very annoying.”

As someone sitting on the other side of the round table finished speaking, the other executives also began to drool.

I guess I didn’t expect things to go this far.

Originally, it was intended to create confusion by using competition within the empire and take advantage of the confusion to establish a more stable organization.

The unexpected intelligence and extraordinaryness of the princess.

The princess was a pearl in the mud, yet to see the light of day.

However, since the wings of politics were given to such a princess, she is now flying around in the sky.

“Have you contacted the emperor?”

“I wonder where the crazy person is who wants to kill my daughter. There are a lot of problems with the emperor’s attitude these days.”

“Is there no choice but to replace the emperor?”

“That’s the surest way. If you want to be a complete puppet, it’s right to support the prince.”

“That stupid guy?”

“He’s a stupid guy, so it’s actually good for the organization.”

As the discussions among executives continued.

Cooung.

A bloody murder begins to surround the entire cave.

A sticky and ominous energy.

There was only one person who could emit this kind of energy.

Someone broke into the conference room where the executives were.

The executives’ eyes instantly turned toward the entrance, and an old-looking man drooled softly and looked at the executives and everyone else.

“He who walks on his hands…”

“Aren’t you here too late? gaffer?”

The arrival of the hand walker.

When he appeared, everyone looked at the person walking on his hands and said one thing at a time.

“Weren’t you busy?”

“I’m late because I have some business to take care of, but I’m disappointed that everyone gathered without me.”

“Meetings must always be held no matter who is absent. Do you not know the rules of the organization? Inspiration?”

“Cheeky kid.”

When the hand walker raised his hand, insects instantly began to gather in the cavity.

Seeing that, everyone gathered here frowned and started scolding the person walking with their hands.

“Wasn’t fighting among gang members prohibited? Inspiration?”

“It’s not a fight.”

A hand walker kills a wriggling insect by pressing it with his hand and exploding it.

“It’s just a little expression of dissatisfaction.”

“It’s so extreme that I don’t know what to do.”

“Kkekekeuk, these guys who are still just newbies when it comes to magic… do you think they can do anything just because they have taken over as executives of an organization?”

As the hand-walker said, most of the organization’s executives did not know much about magic, and even if they did, there were few who knew how to use it properly due to their low aptitude for it.

Witchcraft is an ancient remnant that was lost long ago.

Only the chosen ones can use such wreckage as they please.

“stop!”

At that time, the person who appeared to be the chairman slammed the table and mediated the situation.

Only then did the hand walker stop gaining momentum.

“The most urgent thing for us now is our master’s rebirth, so what can we do if we fight among ourselves?”

A person who walks with his hands grinding his teeth in response to the chairman’s shouting.

“The most important thing now is to get rid of the ignorant people who stand in the way of the master’s rebirth! That is the most important agenda!”

Princess Aria, the most threatening enemy to Ambrosia right now.

“From now on, I will make Princess Aria the top priority to eradicate Ambrosia. However, since she is in the position of princess, be careful when eliminating her. A leader who is trusted by the people will always attract the brightest stars!”

Executives nodding their heads at the chairman’s words.

As the Chairman said, now was not the time to fight among themselves.

Princess Aria is expanding her power and the empire, which is their stage, is under threat from various directions.

First of all, the priority was to get rid of the bugs that were interfering with the accomplishment of the great cause.

The executives nodded quietly and accepted the chairman’s opinions.

“Okay, then today’s meeting ends here. And you walk on your hands!”

“What’s going on? Chairman?”

“Did you say there was a disturbance coming from your area?”

“Yes, some bug killed a man in my area.”

“In that case, we need to get rid of the bugs quickly. Solve the matter quickly and do our best to eliminate Princess Aria!”

“…i get it.”

Bang bang bang!

The chairman’s hammer hits the stone.

This marked the end of Ambrosia’s meeting.

And the executives are slowly disappearing.

Everyone had a mission, so they left to carry out their duties.

And as the person walking with his hands also disappeared, gritting his teeth, the chairman was left alone, looking at the spot where they had disappeared.

“The master will arrive soon, and the snake that bites its end will live on the continent forever.”

The Chairman hides himself in the darkness with a faint smile.

Ambrosia once again hid herself in the darkness.

*******************

“Young man, stay still.”

“Hmph, don’t worry about it. This is a man’s way of exercising!”

“Damn so much.”

Harvey’s status in his office and academy has increased, and he is now in the same position as the ex-lover.

The proof is that Harvey’s personal office was created.

Harvey slowly put down the documents in front of him and sighed lightly.

It was definitely a good thing to bring Rasputin, but the problem was that he sometimes did things he couldn’t handle.

Don’t you break things in your office just because you’re exercising?

Don’t you go out and drink during work hours?

“hahahahaha! Men sometimes enjoy deviations like this!”

Hiccup!

Rasputin laughs loudly at Harvey while drunk.

Harvey looked at him and sighed lightly.

“Hey, try coming here for a moment.”

At that time, a three-legged crow was looking at Harvey with only his head sticking out through the crack in the office door.

Her eyes were clearly looking at Harvey.

“what’s the matter?”

“I have something urgent to say.”

The three-legged crow was desperately calling for Harvey.
