“Oh my god, did I just hear that right??”


    “Delina handed over the debt to His Majesty Mariv? In exchange for begging for his life.?”


    “It''s a shame. It can''t be like this..”


    “What about the wound? Did His Majesty Mariv pay it directly??”


    “I''m going crazy. This is not something to overlook.”


    The atmosphere, which had been dampened by the prolonged meeting, instantly heated up. No matter how low his rank and how young he was, Jin was a child who inherited the emperor''s blood. Besides, weren''t Sadal''s masterminds Marib and Gayle? After them, the twin princes are the ones in charge of Bariel..


    “Calm down. Let’s listen to Delina’s position and make a decision. It seems like you are concerned about the trust..”


    “Don’t you all know this? I know that there is an oracle attached to His Majesty Arsene regarding the existence and demise of the imperial family..”


    Those who were friendly to Dina hinted at it. His life could not be weighed, but the weight of the oracle could be weighed. Some officials secretly supported Dina, saying that if only one of them was to survive, they would naturally choose Arsene. He couldn''t say it out loud because Ian was standing next to Jin..


    “Are you saying that now? In that case, instead of giving up Jin Hae-yeol, you should have given up yourself. Isn’t that the guardian’s duty?.”


    Quintana scolded him harshly, as if to stop making nonsense. As her conference room became increasingly noisy, Jin unconsciously squeezed her knee hard. She thought she could handle it, but it seems she was arrogant. The whispers flying about me hit my heart like a hammer..


    “They say Dina abandoned Emperor Jin.?”


    “So, I took only Arsene with me.…….”


    “I get it now. Ian, Sir Jin,…….”


    The officials shook their heads and cleared their doubts. Why did Dina support Arsene as the sessor without any hesitation, and why did Ian be confrontational? There was a rift between Delina and Jin, and Ian took over the gap..


    Sigh.


    Without realizing it, Jin grabbed Ian''s sleeve. He said he would be there to help me at any time, so I ask him to help me now..


    Ian smiled pitifully when he saw Jin''s eyes shaking violently. Ian held Jin''s hand tightly. It doesn''t hurt, but it doesn''t shake,pletely..


    “I know. But hold on.”


    The moment he whispered to Jin, Ian recalled Naum''s memory. That night when I passed from wizard to emperor. It was herst night as a close friend. Naum whispered to Ian:.


    ‘My child, the child who will be emperor. This is the measles you will suffer from at least once, so you have no choice but to endure. But remember. It hurts now, but once it passes it won''te back. Even if ites, you won''t lose.’


    Naum''s constion continued to be passed down through time. Through Ian, he will say the same thing to Jin, and one day, Jin will say the same thing to his own child..


    “If you endure it and get over it, it will nevere back. Even if ites, I will win.”


    Jin''s grip on Ian tightened..


    Actually, I know. From the moment she decided to take a different path from her mother, she had no choice but to know. The more the officials talk louder, the more difficult Dina''s position will be, which will soon help her..


    “Be quiet.!”


    Bang bang bang!


    The prime minister, who was worse off, struck down his baton and silenced themotion..


    “Sir Ian Hiello. The weight of what you just said is significant..”


    I couldn''t say whether I could take responsibility for it. Because Jin, the prince, said that he was the evidence and witness..


    I wondered if they had done a trick using mind control magic, but since I had the royal family''s blessing, I guess I wouldn''t have to worry about that..


    “It will be lighter than the pain of losing Jin..”


    The Prime Minister sighed at Ian’s response. okay. More than anyone else, the person involved is probably having the hardest time right now. The Prime Minister decided that it would be better to end the meeting quickly..


    “Hello, I have a question. Is it only your will to be with Sir Ian Hiello? The Prince is the second master of this ce after His Majesty the Emperor, so if you wish, you may take up residence somewhere other than the Ministry of Magic..”


    “no. It''s my will.”


    It was a firm conviction. The Prime Minister swallowed dry saliva, and the officials gave a small exmation and looked around..


    At this point, the outline of the rotating te was slowly starting to be visible. After leaving the conference room, I had to make a choice to n my future. Between Delina and Arsene, and Ian and Jean.


    “Prime Minister. On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, I ask that you restrict some of Dina''s parental rights. This is for Jin''s safety..”


    Ian made a demand to the Prime Minister in front of everyone. Some of the rights rted to protection and identity, property management, power of representation, etc. were representative. The Prime Minister, who knew that the Emperor was frozen, had no choice but to hesitate..


    ‘It is harder to take away than to give..’


    What if I restrict it and a problem arises? Will the Prime Minister, as the Minister of Magic, be able to take power again by defeating the current power of the Imperial Pce??


    It wouldn''t matter if the emperor himself came forward. Hismands were heaven and earth in any situation. But the Prime Minister, who was an agent, was literally just an agent..


    “Prime Minister?”


    As the Prime Minister''s worries deepened, the excitement grew again. It was the sound made by those who did not know the emperor''s freeze..


    “What are you worried about? The prince was handed over to a traitor. It is right to temporarily limit parental authority, and when His Majesty the Emperor stands up, then formally bring him to trial to decide whether right or wrong is right..”


    “you''re right. Please limit it for safety first..”


    “Until His Majesty determines yourfort, that seems correct. Jin also seems to follow Sir Ian deeply..”


    “Huh! Anyone who sees it will think Delina is trying to kill Emperor Jin. It''s embarrassing and painful to listen to..”


    “If you think about it, it''s not that different.?”


    “Hey, what did you just say? It''s frivolous!”


    “Defend what you need! If your Majesty finds out, he will be proud.!”


    Those who did not know about the freeze were putting pressure on the Prime Minister without even realizing it. They said there is no health problem, so it will happen soon. Then what is the problem??


    “quiet, quiet!”


    Bang bang! Kwaang!


    The Prime Minister hit the baton nervously. Ian quietly watched their cries, and the Prime Minister stroked his gray beard and frowned..


    ‘Wow, how can you make this situation like this?.’


    It''s embarrassing. There is a clear justification for rejecting it, and those watching will not be able to understand it..


    However, I was concerned that power had already shifted to the Ministry of Magic to ept it, and I could not know exactly what Ian was up to..


    “I don''t think it''s a matter to be decided like this..”


    “When you leave the conference room, someone will run to Dina. And they will warn you of attempts to limit parental rights..”


    Ian muttered as he nced at the people who supported Dina one by one. The officials who encountered Green Eyes unconsciously looked away and cleared their throats..


    “I too will not be able to protect Jin..”


    The Prime Minister wanted to silence Ian. They all said things that seemed usible, so I felt like I didn''t have the power to make the decision..


    Jin once again spoke to the Prime Minister with sincerity..


    “Awards. I swear to my father, the Emperor, that everything is a decision I have made myself. If you respect me, if I am also a valuable person in the pce, please follow Sir Ian and protect me..”


    “Lowering.”


    “please.”


    Thest sound was so quiet that only the Prime Minister could hear it. The plea that finally came out reached the Prime Minister. He held the baton and closed his eyes. But it is a decision that is not easy to make. Quintana, who was worse off, added:.


    “Prime Minister. The Prime Minister must remain neutral more than anyone else. It''s only been two days since Sadal was born, so we shouldn''t add to the confusion..”


    “Quintana, that statement is absurd.!”


    “There is a reason to limit parental rights now, but there is no reason not to limit them! If anyone has any, please tell me.!”


    If the justification was clear but it was rejected, it would be the same as the Prime Minister taking Dina''s side. Those who supported Ian and those who felt sorry for the situation shouted together..


    Tatang! Bang bang!


    Finally, the bong rang..


    Lightly but surely, and with a little resignation.


    “Following the wishes of Sir Ian Hiello and His Majesty Jin, Dina''s parental rights will be partially restricted. But keep in mind that this can be overturned at any time, Sir Hiello..”


    It won''t be easy once the initiative has been handed over, but it was a warning that if you do anything foolish at any time, you will be checked..


    Ian smiled lightly and ced his hand on his chest. Her words of thanks were expressed from the bottom of her heart..


    “of course. I will serve Your Majesty Jin with all my heart. I swear in front of everyone.”


    “Sir Ian Hiello. I request that you attend official gatherings periodically to check on Emperor Jin''s well-being..”


    At someone''s suggestion, Ian turned towards it as if it was natural. I already wanted it. I will take Jin with me to great conferences and wherever I can exert influence..


    “I will ept it.”


    “Sir, if you have anything to say at any time, please feel free to do so. I am Quintana from the administration..”


    “Quintana, thank you..”


    “This is Griffith from the administration..”


    “Judiciary Mattingly, Cyril Paulson, Harvey Bodkin..”


    Each person shouted his or her name to Jin. Some people were genuinely worried about Jin, while others showed their political support as if to show off. To be exact, I was informing Ian after he lost. In fact, at this point, the distinction between Ian and Jin disappears..


    “Oh, and the recovery of the corpses in the imperial pce is over. The gates will be opened tomorrow. ess to severely damaged areas will be prohibited, but the rest should be allowed to show daily life to the people of the empire. That is all.”


    “…Let it happen.”


    “Thank you for your effort See you at the next meeting..”


    “Yes. Everyone worked hard. The sun is already rising.”


    With Ian’s final delivery, the meeting waspletely concluded. The Prime Minister red at Ian again, and Ian smiled back..


    “Sir Hielo, it''s difficult if you do this..”


    Isn’t the emperor’s freeze a top secret matter that only Beols, Dina, the Prime Minister, and Ian are aware of? How can you use that to manipte public opinion like this?.


    “sorry. But it had to be this way.”


    “Take good care of His Majesty Jin. I will watch over you.”


    The Prime Minister muttered as he looked at Jin surrounded by officials. The wound looked particrly prominent. He couldn''t make a decision until the end, which was the reason he hit the bar..


    “Please go in.”


    Ian bowed to see the Prime Minister off and soon approached Jin. Quintana was continuously holding Jin''s hand and saying something..


    “If Sir Ian says something mean or offends you in the slightest, pleasee to the administration immediately. My office is in the right hallway on the 5th floor..”


    “Quintana.”


    “…….”


    Quintana turned her head in response to Ian''s call. There was an awkward silence, but she didn''t withdraw her gaze. She took a step back as Quintana gave her a formal greeting..


    “Well then, that''s it.”


    “Goodbye, Quintana!”


    “yes. Lowering. Sir Ian, please rest..”


    It''s good.


    When the conference room became quiet, Romandro quickly ran over and put a coat on Jin. Ian smiled as he buttoned her own buttons..


    “Congrattions, sir. The first will reached everyone. And you did very well at the conference..”


    “Thank you.”


    Jin''s smile grew brighter. So much so that my teeth are clearly visible.


    “It seemed like everyone thought about me more than I thought. I never expected it to be like this.”


    The only people Jin had met in the imperial pce so far were members of the imperial family, tutors, and servants. Officials used to feel like they were just from another country..


    Ian responded by adjusting his clothes until the end..


    “Didn''t I tell you? I am a precious person..”


    In the distance, Beric and Xiaoxi stand next to the carriage. Jin waved her hand widely and called out to the two. Jin''s steps as he went down the stairs first were particrly lively. Ian looked at the scene and asked Romandro..


    “Dina''s side?”


    “We''re still dealing with the Hymans..”


    “Is there more to say than a meeting of bureaucrats? You''re amazing..”


    Soon, news will be delivered to Delina that her parental rights will be restricted. Ian smiled brightly as he watched Jin get on her carriage and gesture..
