Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 548

Chapter 148: The Emperor

Voting took place in Palma.

To be precise, it was a re-election.

A vote to determine the most beautiful woman in the city of Palma.

Since the last vote was canceled due to some kind of incident, it was decided to schedule a time to hold it again.

However, there was one problem.

“Are those two the only candidates?”

“Umm… … .”

People couldn’t hide their disappointment when they heard that the existing candidates, Bruna and Rufina, were running again.

They still have vivid memories.

Before they suddenly fainted due to a strange energy, many beautiful women appeared in front of them.

The beauties were undoubtedly more beautiful than Bruna and Lupina. Not only that, but each of them had a strong color.

Originally, it was a vote to choose one of the humans designated by Hera and Aphrodite. That’s why, even if my mouth was torn, I couldn’t say at the time that the other person was more handsome.

The two gods disappeared.

Whatever happened, Hera and Aphrodite left Palma, leaving behind Bruna and Rufina, whom they supported.

Perhaps someone in Palma had angered the two gods. The citizens trembled in fear, but as time passed, nothing changed.

The two gods just disappeared like that. Without any change.

Since there was no God, the forces that moved in the name of God also disappeared, there was no reason for Bruna and Rufina to fight each other, and the heat of the vote that was supposed to be the seat of God died down without a trace.

Meanwhile, voting started again. There was no way the citizens would be excited.

step.

“Can I stand here?”

Until I found out about the existence of a woman who had applied for official participation without anyone knowing.

On the day of the election, there were three beauties standing in a row. Two of them were, of course, Bruna and Rufina.

The moment one remaining person stepped forward, the citizens knew the result of this vote.

“Ahem, it was a bit chaotic last time, so I feel relieved now that I’m officially participating.”

Cybel Forte.

She flipped her long pink hair, and it just sparkled.

‘Frontier.’

However, behind that confident attitude and confident smile, there is deep concern.

She heard about the situation from Gregory.

Atjie was dead. Frondia left to check on it. And soon after, Elodie followed suit.

‘I don’t know what the situation is over there right now.’

Frondi had entrusted this place to Cybel, hoping that she would be elected in the city of Palma.

However, it is unlikely that he predicted Ajie’s death.

Frontier does not predict tragedy. The moment it does, it will do its utmost to prevent it.

So hoping for Saibel to win this vote has nothing to do with Ajie.

Frontier said he was interested in products, so that may have been his original purpose.

But she is here now.

She is Cybel Forte.

‘There must be a reason I’m here.’

Fate is on her side. After being convinced of that, Cybel’s way of thinking was different from others.

Caw─

Then the crow cries.

Cybel sensed something and raised her head.

As expected, a crow perched on her shoulder.

[… … report.]

“Okay, tell me.”

The crow whispered in a low voice into Cybel’s ear.

So that no one around can hear.

Cybel’s eyes, which had been listening, gradually sank.

“……first.”

Cybel quietly let out a voice while Rufina and Bruna were looking at her from both sides.

“If you don’t like the product, you can do whatever you want.”

Palma Royal Palace, the King’s private chambers.

King Palma has been in deep water recently.

Aphrodite won’t meet me.

There is no doubt that it is in a separate building. Because he always answers.

But all of those answers were just polite refusals. King Palma had not seen Aphrodite’s face for a long time.

After the incident, Aphrodite disappeared from people’s sight.

Everyone believes that she has completely left Palma, but in fact she is still in Palma, in the very center of Palma.

“majesty.”

Shinhwa came to the king’s office and submitted a lengthy report.

King Palma was barely listening. What was important to him now was not the monarchy.

How can I change Aphrodite’s mind again… … .

“And then the results of the re-vote came out.”

“… … Re-vote?”

King Palma, who had mostly let it go, listened to the words.

Yes, there was a re-election. The beauty contest was interrupted midway, so they decided to hold a re-election.

In fact, it was also started with the thought that Aphrodite, who had given Lupina divine powers, would show her face again when the re-election took place.

However, Aphrodite did not appear on the day of the re-election, so it was meaningless.

“Okay, who was chosen?”

King Palma asked in a voice that quickly lost interest.

“This is Cybel Forte.”

“… … “Who?”

It was neither Rufina nor Bruna, but a name that King Palma had never heard before.

“Your Highness will remember. “A woman with pink hair.”

“… … Ah, it’s that woman.”

During the original voting, there was a woman who stole the attention of everyone in the square.

Since that woman appeared, voting has become a mess.

“Her name was Cybel Forte.”

King Palma recalled Cybel’s appearance.

She certainly had an outstanding appearance. Rufina and Bruna were also the most beautiful women in the city of Palma. Moreover, they were even more beautiful after receiving divine powers.

‘… … He had an appearance that was close to that of a god.’

This is not an exaggerated compliment or formal speech. Especially since he is the King of Palma who knows the face of Aphrodite. He just said what he saw.

“But there is a problem.”

“problem?”

“We originally planned to give a golden apple as a prize to the person chosen as the beauty, but it was stolen and we have not found it yet.”

The Golden Apple is already in Frondier’s possession. Because the leader of the Nine stole it and gave it to him.

Now that it has merged with his body, it doesn’t even exist.

There is no way the golden apple can exist. So, you have to give another prize.

“So at first we tried to give her gold, but she refused. He was promised a position, but he also refused.”

“So what do you want? Do you need a man, perhaps?”

If this contest were for men, there might have been a way to do it.

However, it is a beauty contest, and it is difficult to think that the woman who wins this contest will be in need of a man.

“I see you wish to meet His Majesty.”

“… … me?”

King Palma opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Eyes filled with curiosity. The subject read it.

‘… … I don’t know what that woman is thinking.’

The subject recalled what Sybel had told him earlier.

─I heard the story. It is said that His Highness has lost interest in office or politics and is leading a boring life.

─I’d like to help you in some way, but is that okay?

As Saibel said, King Palma’s lethargic life has already become a perception among citizens.

The king stays away from his duties. Even if it’s just a rumor, the situation is serious, but this time it’s real.

Only high-ranking officials know that the reason is Aphrodite, but ordinary citizens have no way of knowing.

‘That’s a good suggestion.’

A woman who wanted to come to the king’s side appeared.

The most beautiful woman in the city, no, her appearance was even better than the existing beauties.

There is nothing to lose. As a subject, he naturally welcomed Saibel’s proposal.

‘… … However, I wonder if His Majesty will really be interested… … .’

King Palma was infatuated with Aphrodite.

And the subjects cannot pay attention to him.

Aphrodite is not a human, but a god.

Aphrodite is a goddess, so serving her is not a problem even for a king.

That excuse ruined King Palma’s brakes.

The king built a separate house just for Aphrodite and tried to meet Aphrodite whenever he had time, or rather, he forced himself to do so. Perhaps, if you look at the content of the king’s occasional work in his office, you can easily infer that Aphrodite’s influence was present.

But what’s wrong with serving God? That’s why the subjects say nothing.

Even though I knew that the king did not serve God, but was wrapped in the width of a woman’s skirt.

“good night.”

However, King Palma willingly gave permission.

The subject looked at the king with slightly surprised eyes.

“… … Would you like to meet?”

“If the product is that good, it’s cheap. “What’s the problem?”

“All right. “I will bring it to you quickly.”

The minister thought it was surprising, but left without asking. Of course I had to do that.

However, King Palma did not have such great ideas.

He had not seen Aphrodite’s face for a long time.

‘Since it’s a face comparable to his, let’s take a look.’

I just needed new stimulation.

Not long after.

“It’s called Cybel Porta.”

Cybel bowed respectfully in front of King Palma.

“So, you wanted to see me?”

“That’s right.”

Sibel’s tone was simple.

A tone that is neither rude nor courteous, but simply speaking to one’s superior.

The courtiers beside the king furrowed their brows slightly at him.

Sibel’s tone was more anxious than solemn. Polite but light. As if he was going to tell a joke to the king.

King Palma said:

“They want to meet me as a prize from a beauty contest. “What were you thinking?”

The content of the words was suspicious, but the face was smiling.

I had forgotten for a while because I had neglected my duties as a king, but since ancient times, kings have been beings who were respected by the people. Cybel reminded me of that feeling again.

“I have come to help Your Majesty.”

“… … Come a little closer.”

King Palma snapped his fingers to call her, wondering how he had taken Cybel’s words. Cybel approached him a few steps, still keeping her low posture.

“How are you going to help me?”

As he spoke, all sorts of imaginations ran through the king’s mind.

Saibel smiled and said to him.

“I have heard that Your Majesty has recently lost interest in the things around him and has become listless.”

“So, I’ll give you my strength back.”

“That’s right. “I know why.”

At Cybel’s words, the subjects looked at her.

You know why. You know I’m crazy about Aphrodite?

No, that can’t be. That was just a remark made to get the king’s attention.

King Palma rested his chin on his hand.

He asked with a chuckle.

“Okay, why am I helpless? “I’m really curious.”

“The reason is that,”

Cybel slowly raised his head.

“This is because this country is too small to contain Your Majesty’s great intentions.”

Such an unexpected statement.

Both the king and his subjects paused for a moment at Cybel’s words.

There, Cybel called King Palma again.

“your majesty.”

“… … !”

Jump up!

King Palma stood up in astonishment.

He stepped back on trembling legs.

“Don’t call me that!”

“… … That was a slip of the tongue. Please forgive me.”

Cybel bows her head deeply again.

The subjects looked at Cybel frozen.

That statement just now.

Cybel changed the title he used to call you “Your Highness” to “Pheha.”

Is it appropriate to reprimand this?

For making the mistake of ‘calling the king higher’?

“Your Majesty. There is only one country on this continent, Palma.”

“… … That, that’s right.”

King Palma was now in a position where he could barely answer.

What is this woman talking about? What is she trying to say?

“The reason His Majesty became helpless was because he was not able to carry out his great intentions and was being patient. “Your patience has lasted too long, and you are exhausted.”

“Patience, am I being patient?”

“of course. Your Majesty is a vessel worthy of holding the sea. But since you’re not doing that, you’re probably exhausted.”

At that moment, the servant who could not stand to watch shouted.

“You bitch, what are you trying to mock His Majesty with your mouth?”

“for a moment.”

However, the king stopped it.

“I will listen and judge. Just be still.”

“… … yes.”

The subject kept his mouth shut.

Cybel looked into King Palma’s eyes.

Most of the emotions reflected in the eyes are full of embarrassment.

However, you can see the ambition and spirit hidden deep within.

‘Aphrodite’s means was ‘love’. That’s definitely powerful. If I had that kind of power, I would want to use it to my heart’s content. But as a man, you can’t stop there.’

Cybel has charmed many men over the years, even if she doesn’t have that kind of power.

Cybel was the most popular and famous woman in Constellation. The envy of men and the jealousy of women.

Because she’s that kind of Saibel, she knows something.

‘Each man has his own ambition. The ambition to achieve it even if it means putting everything on the line. Something that cannot be forgotten even if you forget it, something that you see in front of you when you try to look away. Even if you use reality and the surrounding situation as an excuse, hunger will only worsen. As if the soul is shouting, as if fate is shouting.’

There wasn’t a single man Cybel had ever talked to who didn’t do that.

Each of us takes the safe path and compromises with reality, but deep down there is a flame that never goes out.

‘Love is powerful. That’s why men don’t want to be subordinate to love.’

If Aphrodite’s power is truly ‘love’.

If it is a power that is clearly distinct from ‘fascination’ or ‘sexual desire’.

‘If King Palma was truly in love with Aphrodite, what he ultimately wanted was not to be in her arms. He would want to have Aphrodite in his arms.’

This is what Cybel stabbed into King Palma’s heart.

Men believe that taking one step at a time toward their own ambitions means attracting love as well.

‘And well, it’s true.’

Cybel thought of Frondeer.

When she thinks of Frontier, she always thinks of its back, not its front.

‘Because I like that spark.’

“your majesty.”

Cybel again called King Palma by that title.

It wasn’t a mistake in the first place, but now it’s as if he has no intention of reversing it.

“It is time for you to become emperor.”
