I Was Reincarnated as a Baby God - Chapter 8
Episode 8
Lucia fell into an even greater confusion.
‘Me, I’m crazy……?’ (TL note: I feel like this was supposed to be ‘Peiren, he’s crazy’. But in the raws it goes ‘me’ so a bit weird, carrying on.)
She couldn’t figure out what was going on.
Lanore narrowed his eyes and murmured.
“It sounds like a credible rumor if it’s coming from you. We know what it means to swear on names……”
His voice was heavy, blurring at the end of his speech.
Vermon said, nervously while lowering his glass.
“I’m sure you’re out of your mind.”
The two men continued, “I should meet Peiran.”
Lucia, who was listening in seriously, narrowed her eyes.
‘But these two, are you close to Peiran?’
It’s been a strange friendly tone going on since earlier.
Rune Hilt’s tower mages could have met him on the southern front.
But the Grand Duke of Elharan had no form of contact.
Not to mention he didn’t participate in the southern front under the pretext of defending the ice wall.
There were the only things she couldn’t understand.
She wanted to ask all sorts of questions in which she was curious about, but she was so frustrated being unable to speak.
Lucia wriggled her feet with a weak cry.
“Kiaang……”
The noise caused Vermon to turn to Lucia immediately.
Peeking at her and laughing, he asked Lanore.
“But is it okay to take her out already? Seems as if it’s been less than a week since it hatched.”
“One month.”
“……”
Vermon opened his eyes wide.
He looked down at Lucia with a stiff face.
Lucia twisted her front paw for no reason at the dark look of Vermon.
She knew that she was much slower in growth than other average Shinsus.
But Vermon was getting so serious.
She was suddenly worried.
‘Is there something wrong with me, too?’
At that time, Lanore used his big hand to stroke down her head so that Lucia’s ears were pressed down.
It was a hand filled with a warm temperature and moderate weight.
Lucia looked up at Lanore.
Her long eyes bent gently.
“If it’s small, then it’s growth will be small. What can I do?” (Remember mommy Seria and daddy Lenore had a really hard time trying to have her so being tiny for a bit longer just makes her that much more lovable!)
Vermon, who was looking at Lucia with complicated eyes, flicked his finger without saying a word.
A plate of fruit appeared in Vermon’s hand with a flash of bright light.
Vermon plopped the plate down in front of Lucia.
“Eat more, dustball.”
The sweet smell made her mouth water. (I scream you scream, we all scream for… FRUIT, cuz Lucia only eats fruits. Pfft)
Lucia ate fruit gleefully.
“Anyway, by the way……I’m going to the capital, Vermon.”
“Are you going to empty the Great Wall again?”
When Vermon frowned, Lanore shook the knife and laughed.
“His Highness the Crown Prince wants you to show your face.”
***
Carhen de Roachim was one of the most acclaimed emperors of the Roachim Empire in its history and was praised for the prosperity he brought forth.
After Carhen ascended the throne the era of peace and gold had come to the Roahim Empire.
The people of the country all deeply loved and respected him.
Year 892 in Spring of the imperial calendar.
The news of the sudden death of the emperor turned the Roahim Empire upside down.
But that wasn’t the only shocking news.
It has been revealed that the one who killed the emperor was the Imperial Princess Ianel. (FAKE NEWS)
Information was released that she killed the emperor and then committed suicide. The news greatly shocked the people of her country.
The emperor’s funeral was held in unprecedented splendor and grandeur.
The funeral procession was followed by a long mourning period by the people of the Empire.
The emperor’s coffin, which toured the entire capital, was buried in the land of rest where the royal family was buried.
After which the Roahim Empire welcomed its new emperor.
It was Prince Agris de Roachim.
However, the Crown Prince’s coronation was to be held three years after the Emperor’s memorial period. (Lucia you have 3 years to clear up your murder!!)
“According to reports from the South, there’s nothing that will raise any concerns.”
In the main conference room, in which the atmosphere was calmly subdued, a political meeting was still underway again today.
The period of changing emperors, all the more attention had to be paid to the movements of other countries adjacent to the border.
Prince Agris nodded as he checked over the report he received.
“I don’t think we have to worry about the border…… what’s happening with Rune Hilt?”
“We still haven’t seen the Tower owner.”
The faces of the nobles and Agris were completely hardened.
The empire had built a good relationship with the Tower Rune Hills.
In order for the new regime to be established by Agris to remain unwavering, it was important to maintain stable relations with the Tower. (When Vermon learns that you killed the past life of his baby dustball you think he’s gonna support you? Pfft!)
The problem was that the owner of the Tower had recently refused to meet anyone.
Rumors have also been circulating that the tower was being emptied.
For a moment, Agris, who was lost in thought contemplating, slowly opened his mouth.
“Let’s wait a little longer first.”
The meeting continued for a long time.
After wrapping up the exhausting meeting, the Prince left first.
The nobles rose from their chairs, organizing themselves one by one.
The Minister of State approached Count Matien and talked to him.
“Well done, Count Matien.”
“No, it’s more difficult for the Minister of State.”
They were some of the nobles who were busy with the sudden change of the imperial power.
The Minister of State simply answered back with a long sigh.
“The most disturbing thing is the Crown Prince. He lost all of his family overnight.”
Count Matien murmured to himself.
“……Yes. That would be normal.”
“What?”
“Nothing.”
Count Matien looked at the back of the departing prince, who was getting farther away.
After leaving the conference hall, knights and servants followed behind the Crown Prince.
‘You seem too calm for someone who just lost their father and sister overnight.’
Count Matien, who was staring at him, suddenly made eye contact with the crown prince looking back.
Looking at the count bowing in a hurry, Agris smiled slightly.
And he led his servants to the Imperial Palace.
Recently, Agris moved from the Crown Prince’s Palace to the Imperial Palace.
When Agris, who was heading to the office, stopped, the servants stopped altogether.
His eyes glanced around a long hallway connecting the main palace to the imperial princess palace.
The palace of Imperial Princess Ianel was located next to the main palace.
Up until a month ago, through this hallway, the father and daughter used to visit each other’s palaces.
Agris, who was staring into the hallway, opened his mouth.
“I’ll walk alone.”
The servants, who had been watching and waiting, bowed their heads and quietly stepped down.
Only the escort guards remained and followed the emperor with a long distance.
The sound of Agris’ footsteps echoed quietly down the hall.
Beyond the arch window of the hallway, the sun shone on the palace.
It was obtained by the blood of the Emperor and Imperial Princess, the grass soaked in the dark night.
Now all the traces had disappeared and it was filled with bright flowers.
“……”
After stopping for a while and looking at the garden, Agris moved back.
He soon arrived in front of the palace.
Some of the nobles strongly argued that the palace should be demolished.
The palace of the murderer cannot be left alone.
In the end, however, it was decided against demolishing the palace.
The knights and maids, standing in front of both gates that were delicately engraved with almond flowers, bowed their heads hurriedly.
“We see the Crown Prince.”
The knights opened the door wide on both sides.
When Agris stepped in, a cheerful voice greeted him.
“Oh, my Majesty. Is the meeting over?”
The brown-haired woman smiled as she curled her eyes round.
Her name, Bianche Roachim. (AHHHHHH begone I don’t like this villainess YEET)
She was the crown princess (Empress) of the Roahim Empire.
Bianche, a princess of Sarayant, married Agris a few months ago and took the throne of the Crown Princess.
She would soon be the empress and became the most precious woman in the entire empire.
Bianche rose from a soft sofa and approached Agris.
“I stopped by because I was almost finished with the cleanup now, I’m going to move to this place from tomorrow.”
The imperial palace has now been transformed into a separate palace for Bianche Roahim, the crown prince’s wife.
It was the result of Bianche’s pleading with her father, the Duke of Sarayent and the Crown Prince.
As she enjoyed the sunshine that followed the huge window, she continued her words quietly.
“What a bright and beautiful palace! I’ve always wanted it.”
It was the palace where the emperor himself paid close attention to his beloved daughter.
However, the portrait of Ianel that had been hanging on the fireplace had been torn away for a long time.
It’s replacement was a bright, smiling portrait of Bianche that took its place.
The sofa that Ianel used to sit on in her past life, and the decorative venue filled with jewels given to her by the emperor.
All of it has become Bianche’s.
“In the first place, it was too much for just the princess.”
Bianche complained, “Whenever I saw her, she was so mean that I couldn’t stand her.”
She smiled sweetly at Agris.
“In the end she died, so it’s a good thing.”
Bianche danced around the center of the sun-filled room.
The hem of her dress puffed up like a flower.
Bianche, who burst into laughter, shouted brightly.
“It’s all mine now!”
