The Eternal Debauchery's

the hidden history of ll

“I just wanted to ask you. Old man, what do you think of the current crown prince?”

My question caused the old man to tense up. His eyes narrowed, and his presence changed sharply.

“... You know that [Hidden History] does not interfere with the affairs of the Empire. You get nothing asking me that question. ” he said.

“you think so?” I smile. “I, on the other hand, think there are many advantages.”

“... Prince Claus, your talent surprised me. You managed to hide your true power for so long without the emperor suspecting anything. Plus, you also somehow managed to figure out the emperor's plan to send me here to kill you, but even so, you're not afraid of standing in front of me" he said.

Of course, I'm not afraid. After all, you are weaker than me.

“However.” The old man's face turned angry. “Even with such talent, why are you still planning for the throne when the future of the empire is threatened and the daemons are attacking the imperial citizens !?”

I observed the man with an amused smile.

“Quiet, old man. First, the crown prince is the same, right? Besides, don't worry about the daemon, my ally takes care of it. ”

“Hah?”

“My team, of course. Do you think I came to a place where someone was planning to kill me without a plan? don't joke old man" I said chuckling.

The old man's eyes turned blank. “... Prince, did someone not tell you that you were scary?”

“Thank you for the compliment.” my word lowered my head a little.

“... But, someone with your talent. Someone who had broken through to the twelfth layer before turning twenty. Why would someone like you be interested in something so fast as the authority of an emperor? If you want, you can even become a god! ” said.

“Older, it looks like you misunderstood something. I have no interest in becoming emperor. ”

“HAH?”

“Of course not. That's very troublesome. I'd rather have fun.” I said.

“Then... Why did you ask my opinion about the crown prince?”

I shrugged my shoulders. “Yeah, the one who will become emperor is my sister.”

…

……

………

“You said your brother would become emperor? A woman?” The old man looked surprised. It was as if I had told a very funny joke.

I looked at him indifferently. “I never thought you were so old-fashioned, old man.”

The old man frowned, finally realizing that I was serious. However, in the end, he simply shook his head.

“By the way, it doesn't matter whether you or your sister want to become emperor. [Hidden History] does not interfere with imperial affairs. There is no point in trying to take me to your side. ” he said.

“Oh, but my intention was never like that. Instead, I have a request for you. I hope [Hidden History] doesn't interfere with my business.”.

“... What do you mean?” The old man furrowed his brows when he heard my words.

“Think about that. If the emperor and crown prince died, who do you think will have the highest chance of inheriting the throne?” I said with an indifferent expression.

“You ... Do you plan to kill the emperor !?”

I smiled without answering.

“you're crazy! [Hidden History] won't allow it! I won't let that happen!” he said raise the tone.

“Does that mean you disagree?” cold spoken.

Hearing my icy voice, the old man suddenly calmed down.

He knew that according to his answer, this meeting could easily turn into a battle.

But he's not afraid.

Therefore, he took a deep breath.

“... There is no problem if you kill the crown prince. Even killing all the other princes was not a problem. But killing the emperor was impossible. ”

I let out a breath. So in the end, it came to this.

“You know about my mother, right old man?”

“... So this is the reason.” The old man finally seemed to realize the cause and effect of all this.

“I'll ask you one last time. Will [Hidden History] interfere in this matter?” I said, my killing intent leaked out uncontrollably.

I stared at the old man for a few seconds before sighing in disappointment.

“Well, it's worth a try. Looks like I have to do it the hard way.” said coldly.

“... huh, think about it. Your talent is too great. Don't waste it on something that will only destroy you.” he said.

“Mm... Maybe, but I want to try it.”

With these words, I unsheathed my sword.

The old man sighed. “So so. What a pity your talent. But if that's what you want, then I'll have to kill you here to stop the disaster. ”

I looked at the old man with an amused expression before laughing.

“hahaha, you are very confident, old man. Unfortunately, I don't plan on playing around today. ”

Seconds next.

*About!*

Both of our swords clashed. Fireflowers danced in the air, lighting up the night forest.

The old man opened his eyes wide. He had moved his sword instinctively, and that instinct had saved his life.

If he were slow a moment later, his head would fly by now.

“How can...” he said in disbelief.

“Great sword science, old man.” I said calmly. “As expected of an old monster. Then how about this?”

My sword moved in the air at high speed. In an instant, it appeared before the old man's eyes.

But the old man managed to react this time as well. At the last second, his sword stopped mine.

*About!*

“Again!” I smile. Unceasingly, I brandished my sword repeatedly. From left, right, up, and down. Hundreds of sword attacks flew towards the old man nonstop.

“huk!” The old man's face changed. He did his best to stop my sword, but the number of attacks was too much for him.

Then, she felt something hot in her chest–

“hooeekkk!”

Looking down, my sword had pierced through his heart.

The old man took two steps back and vomited out a mouthful of blood. Then, his sword fell to the ground.

“How is it possible..?”

“Your sword is too slow. It could not face the moving sword using the concept of space.”

“... Ru-space, uhuk.. J-So so...” The old man put his hand on his chest to try to stop his blood, but it was in vain.

His heart has been broken. He knew his death was decided.

But, he can't die like this.

“... I have to tell them..”.

That there's a monster here…

“ARRRGGGG!!!” With a roar, the old man's body glowed red. A strong wind surrounded him, bringing him hundreds of miles away in an instant!

It was a forbidden technique using his life as a cost, and he used it to escape. Even if he was going to die, he had to warn the others of the danger I was carrying.

He was afraid that otherwise, the empire would end up in my hands.

But before he could leave the forest, he felt his body become extremely light.

Then, he saw how his headless body continued to move forward while spurting blood.

The strange scene made the old man smile wryly.

“...So this is my end, yes..” The old man closed his eyes, and his head fell to the ground.

As for me, I put my sword back into place and turned around.

Hidden history, yes.
