Golden Mage - Chapter 100

Volume 4, Chapter 10

A few days later, Duke Madrion went to the palace where the Crown Prince was staying.

Crown Prince Alcaid greeted Duke Madrion.

“Welcome, Duke.”

Thud.

In front of Crown Prince Alcaid, who was greeting him, Duke Madrion knelt.

And he bowed his head deeply and exclaimed.

“Your Highness, the Crown Prince! The time has come. Please ascend to the throne.”

“The throne? Why….”

Crown Prince Alcaid, with an unexpected expression, Duke Madrion continued to speak with an attitude full of loyalty.

“The world is changing. The Holy Kingdom is rampant, a new force called the Golden Tower is rising, and each empire is showing unusual movements. In this situation, the only person who can lead us well is Your Highness, the Crown Prince. We have already finished talking with all the nobles. The palace is also under our control. In short, please ascend to the throne and lead us and this empire well, Your Highness!”

“Hmm….”

Crown Prince Alcaid, lost in thought at Duke Madrion’s words.

Seeing him like that, Duke Madrion wore a distressed expression. If Crown Prince Alcaid does not accept, their plan will all go down the drain.

But his worry was unfounded. Crown Prince Alcaid, who had been lost in thought, finally nodded.

He spoke with a firm resolve on his face.

“I understand, Duke. I accept the Duke’s proposal and will ascend to the throne.”

At Crown Prince Alcaid’s words, Duke Madrion’s expression brightened dramatically. He bowed his head vigorously.

“Thank you, Your Highness! No, Your Majesty!”

Duke Madrion, who would now serve him as emperor, changed his title to Your Majesty. Crown Prince Alcaid smiled at Duke Madrion’s title and said,

“I need to push the work, so lead the way.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

With Crown Prince Alcaid’s approval, Duke Madrion left the hall. As he left, Crown Prince Alcaid smiled again.

And he spoke into the air.

“Really, there’s no such thing as loyalty. It’s amazing every time I see it. What on earth did you do, Zikril?”

“Hehe, the ancient Black Tower has many magics about humans.”

Ssssst!

A black shadow appeared from the air and quietly took its place next to Crown Prince Alcaid. Zikril quietly opened his mouth.

“The most efficient way to control people is mental magic, but it has a high probability of being detected by magicians. Therefore, after repeated research from a long time ago, we have been able to control people’s minds without using mental magic. That’s suggestion.”

“Suggestion? You can change like that with that?”

Crown Prince Alcaid looked surprised, and Zikril smiled.

“I deployed a little magic before the suggestion. And I changed it little by little so that no one would notice. Besides, this is something that completely tilts a somewhat willing mind, so if they didn’t have a heart for you in the first place, it wouldn’t have happened like this.”

“Ho ho? I see.”

Crown Prince Alcaid, nodding at Zikril’s words, glanced at Zikril and laughed.

“Joining hands with you was the best choice. Now, I have to become the ruler of the empire.”

Watching Crown Prince Alcaid leave the hall with a confident face, Zikril smiled.

“Hehe, there’s no such thing as free in the world.”

It was a word that left a ominous aftertaste.

“Hahaha!”

Emperor Oskar burst into laughter. After laughing for a while, he stopped laughing and opened his mouth.

“Really amazing, amazing. Until recently, the child who was a piglet has grown up to strangle my neck.”

His rule was perfect.

He had taken the major nobles under his control, detached some nobles to form a noble faction, and had them appropriately check each other.

He had built an information network outside the palace and was piercing through what kind of movements the nobles were showing.

He never thought this moment would come when he was ruling the empire without a hitch.

It’s like the unlucky emperor who decorates the end.

Emperor Oskar was still smiling.

“Well, he is amazing. I admonished him to come to his senses a while ago, but I didn’t know he would do this. I got hit, hahaha! I got hit.”

Crown Prince Alcaid, who was quietly watching Emperor Oskar laughing almost hysterically.

After laughing for a while, Emperor Oskar nodded his head.

“The throne… yes, I must give it. I am the one who has the ability to put me, who was a perfect ruler of the empire, in this situation. How could I be attached to the throne?”

With that, Emperor Oskal rose from his seat.

And he slowly approached Crown Prince Alcaid.

Finally, when he arrived in front of Crown Prince Alcaid, he took off his crown and put it on Crown Prince Alcaid. Then he took off the cloak worn by the emperor and put it on Crown Prince Alcaid, and finally handed over the jade chain symbolizing the empire.

When he handed over all the things symbolizing the emperor, Emperor Oskal became no different from ordinary people.

Emperor Oskal, no, Oskal, looked at the figure of Alcaid, who had now become emperor, and said,

“Now you are the emperor. Here, on the continent, you have become the emperor of the superpower, the Bliard Empire, which is among the top five.”

Having said that, he laughed again, feeling the gaze of Emperor Alcaid.

“Hahaha! Yes, you must want to completely eliminate the aftereffects. I did too, and you, who inherited my personality, will do the same. Good, disappear. So that you never have to worry.”

Sssst!

As soon as his words ended, Oskal’s body began to turn into white powder and disappear. He had deployed a noble sacrifice that only the emperor of the Bliard Empire could deploy.

Accordingly, his body was slowly turning into dust, and just before the last face disappeared, Oskal looked at Emperor Alcaid and said,

“Please rule this empire well….”

Sssst!

With that, Emperor Oskal’s body turned into dust and disappeared.

Emperor Alcaid watched the spectacle for a moment and then began to walk forward. And he sat on the jade throne, which was now his.

And he began to laugh as if he was crazy.

“Hehehe! You overestimate me until the end. Well, I will do as my father said. I will rule the empire well. I will sort out everything that opposes me, and I will get rid of everything that bothers me, and I will rule well towards my own empire, hahaha! Isn’t that right, Zikril?”

“Is there any doubt, Your Majesty?”

At Alcaid’s words, Zikril’s body appeared in front of him.

He looked at Zikril and said,

“Well, shall we deal with the matter now? Zikril, what did you want? The destruction of the Golden Tower?”

Fire flared in Emperor Alcaid’s eyes. Now that he has become the ruler of the empire, he felt that he needed to get rid of El as soon as possible.

Looking at Emperor Alcaid like that, Zikril opened his mouth with a smile.

“Your Majesty, what’s the rush? Your Majesty, who has become the ruler of the empire, already far surpasses the Golden Tower. In my opinion, we should first stabilize the empire.”

Emperor Alcaid understood Zikril’s words straight away.

The person who can lead the empire without lacking even if he ascends to the throne of the emperor was Emperor Alcaid himself.

“Grr!”

He made a brief uncomfortable noise and nodded in agreement. The grudge against El was endless, but as Zikril said, the important thing now is the stability of the empire.

“You’re right. Then tell me now. When we met, you said you wanted my inner help. What is that inner help?”

“That is….”

Zikril told Emperor Alcaid his plan as he had thought.

And Emperor Alcaid, who heard the plan, slapped his knee and exclaimed.

“I see! If we do that, the Golden Tower won’t be able to move, hahaha! It’s a really good idea.”

“But that plan can be executed when the empire is stable. First, stabilize the empire and make Duke Chulraian and Gairunz on your side.”

“That’s clear. Hehehe! It’s about catching El… It’s really certain, it’s certain. Hahaha!”

Emperor Alcaid laughed as if he was really happy. Zikril’s plan looked that perfect.

Looking at Emperor Alcaid like that, Zikril was watching with a strange smile.

With Crown Prince Alcaid ascending to the throne of the Bliard Empire, the continent is entering a new phase.

Emperor Alcaid, known to have a grudge against the Golden Tower. This is because a situation where the Holy Kingdom and the Bliard Empire may join forces could occur.

Because of this, all other empires and kingdoms have raised their antennae to the Holy Kingdom and the Bliard Empire, and an incident that causes ripples in the peaceful continent is about to occur.

Then, some movement occurred in the Kingdom of Tolyan, located in the west.

The movement quietly spread from the west to the west.

Their destination was!

It was the territory of Count Rubius.
