Ch 417: Sitting On A Golden Toilet In Armor, Are You Some Kind Of Emperor-wannabe?

To be fair, those rulers always like to build their palaces grand and complex. At the same time, these superior people like to place many precious things and fully armed men in their royal palaces, but they don’t consider the feelings of visitors at all, although these superior people don’t need to consider the feelings of these people.

“This palace is so big… uh… excuse me, what was your name again?”

Bal complained about the long journey. He wanted the messenger to show him the way so they could go by themselves, but he didn’t know who the messenger in front of him was. After hearing Bal’s question, the messenger responded with a professional smile.

“Just call me Finlayr.”

“Um, Miss Finlayr, can we go and meet the Emperor ourselves?”

“No, the Royal Palace isn’t a place where you can go freely. Please forgive us.”

“Alright… then can you tell us how much longer? We’ve been in the carriage for so long, and it’s very uncomfortable.”

“We’ll arrive soon. Please bear with it a little longer.”

Although Bal really wanted to see that Emperor, finish their talk, and rest quickly, he considered his future Nirvana days and decided to endure it. He couldn’t afford to be uncomfortable and unable to drink later. Besides, Nirvana came here for something he needed to do; Wu Xian was still a bomb that could explode at any moment, so it was better to be cautious.

After walking for almost an hour, going through various twists and turns and ups and downs, everyone finally arrived before the Emperor.

“Your Majesty, I have brought the guests you mentioned.”

Sitting on the throne was a man who looked to be in his thirties. The decorations around him, including his throne, were all gold. The man had long hair, but there was no effeminate feeling, mainly because his face looked very masculine. If that were the case, Bal’s party wouldn’t have thought much of it, after all, nobles always have a little something different about them. But this Emperor was truly extraordinary; he was actually sitting on the throne wearing heavy armor, the style of the armor was extremely exaggerated, giving off a feeling of a certain golden, large man.

“You may leave.”

The man on the golden toilet waved Finlayr away, then he signaled all the guards in the Great Hall to leave with Finlayr. Now, only Bal’s party and the golden large man remained in the Great Hall. The golden large man’s eyes scanned everyone, finally looking at everyone with a smile.

“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, the Demon King from the Demon King’s Palace, the Hero and the Brave from the Ferenti Kingdom, the Divine Child from the Fral God Kingdom, the Saintess from the Ancient Kingdom, and Grey, a former subject of my Heiteria Empire.”

Hearing Emperor Williams reveal everyone’s true identities one by one, everyone put their hands on their weapons. But Williams didn’t mind; his smile remained.

“Don’t be nervous, everyone. I have no ill intentions towards you. It would do me no good to be your enemy. I know that the Ferenti Kingdom and the Fral God Kingdom stopped the imminent war because of some of you; I am not as foolish as they are.”

“When did you find out about our identities?”

Phia spoke first. Her extradimensional space cave entrance hovered above Williams’ head. If he made any move, the Black Long Spear in her extradimensional space would pierce Williams’ body, turning him into a corpse.

“Don’t be nervous, Demon King… Miss. I already knew your identities when you were still living in that hidden paradise called Guangyue Town. Heiteria Empire’s spies are all over the continent; wherever people live, I have informants. But don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about that hidden paradise; let’s keep it our secret.”

“But you didn’t seem to share your secrets with us, Emperor Williams.”

“Oh dear, oh dear, I seem to have forgotten that. Please forgive me. Then I’ll tell you my secret: I poisoned the Old Emperor to death, and all my royal brothers died at my hands. Also, the rebellion you’re most concerned about was planned by me and the Rebel Army Leader.”

Hearing Williams reveal such explosive news, everyone was shocked. The entire Great Hall was silent for a while before Nirvana broke the silence.

“What evidence do you have?”

“It seems that this hero from the Ferenti Kingdom doesn’t trust me.”

“Please don’t call me a hero.”

“Ah, my apologies. I remember your name is Nirvana? Then I’ll show you the evidence.”

As he spoke, Williams reached behind him, and everyone in the room put their hands on their weapons again, especially Phia; the tip of her spear emerged from the extradimensional space entrance, gleaming coldly. Williams took out a spherical object from behind him. He infused the object with magic; it immediately projected an image.

“Oh? Williams, have the guests you mentioned finally arrived?”

The person speaking in the image was Ems, a classmate Grey could never forget.

“Ems, these are the guests I told you about, the ones who could change the world. Look, isn’t that blonde handsome guy familiar?”

“Indeed, that’s my classmate, Grey. Grey, long time no see. Your arrival must mean you know about the internal strife in the Heiteria Empire, right? Don’t worry, this internal strife is a play we staged together with Williams. Don’t worry about me.”

“Ems… why…”

Grey was so shocked by this scene that he couldn’t speak a complete sentence. His mind was in utter chaos.

“Why am I still alive, is it? You should have heard of people whose organs are arranged in reverse. That’s right, I’m a situs inversus. The wound you inflicted on my chest was very accurate; if my heart had really been on the left, I would have been dead a long time ago.”

As he spoke, Ems pulled open his shirt. There was a scar on his left chest, Grey’s handiwork. After showing the scar, Ems put his shirt back down.

“I’m sorry, Grey. I didn’t mean to feign death. I really thought I was dead at the time.”

“Then what was your purpose with the Emperor?”

“Simple, we plan to change this country. This country has too many problems that need to be solved urgently. Slow reform takes too long, so we have to use this radical method to force national reform.”

“Reform?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Ems was just about to explain when a light suddenly shone on his face, and then the image and sound disappeared. While everyone was still wondering, after a short while, Ems’ image and sound reappeared.

“Sorry, someone just called me. I have something to do now. Your Majesty Williams, please explain to them.”

“Understood.”

Williams put the spherical communication magic item back behind him. His smile was so confident.

“Then please listen to my plan for reform. It may take a while. If you’re uncomfortable, feel free to move your chairs or stretch.”
