The Eternal Debauchery's
end of tournament
The old man frowned. He looked at me for a few seconds before finally turning towards the emperor.
“Sorry, Your Honor.I'm just a little anxious because of my student's condition.”
“And you think that's a reason to interrupt the fight I agreed to!? Moreover, you even tried to attack one of the contestants before me!”
The old man narrowed his eyes. His gaze became extremely cold for a moment, and a hint of killing intent shot out from his body.
However, it quickly disappeared as if it had never existed.
In fact, I'm sure no one else but me noticed.
The old man then bowed to the emperor with a respectful expression.
“Sorry, Your Majesty. I promise you that it will not happen again.”
“Hmph! I wish so!" The emperor snorted coldly and waved his hand. “Go then and take your student with you. I don't want to punish someone on a day like this.”
"i thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." The old man bowed once more and grabbed Louis and disappeared from the stage.
How interesting I thought as I watched the old man leave.
That old man, he didn't seem to show much respect to the emperor.
He even showed a hint of killing intent towards her. It was not something that many people dared to do.
Is it possible ... does he relate to them?
As expected, the forces that wanted to end the Quintin family's reign were powerful.
I would even bet that the old man was not the only twelve outer layer practitioner they had.
As soon as the old man left, the emperor looked at me.
"Mr. Clark.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Congratulations on your victory. It was an amazing battle.”
With these words, a deafening cheer erupted from the stands.
Some people shouted my name like crazy and the emperor, empress, and Dina smiled looking at it, although each for a different reason.
Only Alan looked like he had been bitten by an insect.
The cheers continued for almost a minute. Only when the emperor waved his hand, showing the people to calm down did they stop.
The emperor then looked at Dina with a smile.
"Dina, you should go and say hello to your fiancee."
"Huh?" Dina shocked.
But he quickly understood the meaning of his words.
Soon, his face dropped.
If he were to greet his fiancee now, it would be the same as declaring to the world that he had no more ambition for the throne. After all, he will stop being Quintin and will take my last name.
It was a cruel move. One of them aims to paralyze Dina's political power.
With that, the noble family that had started to side with Dina would slowly distance themselves from her.
Dina frowned with a dark expression. He bit his lips with a reluctant look.
The emperor did not make him rush. He just looked at her with a smile, like a kind father.
However, behind that smile, there was a terrifying pressure.
It was as if she was challenging Dina to go against her will.
In front of that pressure, Dina could only nod.
Then, he left the booth under the smiles of the emperor, empress, and Alan.
“It looks like we finally solved this problem.” The empress could not help but smile in satisfaction, although her expression quickly turned complicated when she remembered that her lover was about to marry Dina.
Even Alan smiled. In the end, although the plan did not fully work out, this was already a good result.
However, none of them noticed the thin smile on Dina's lips.
He walked towards the stage in front of thousands of spectators, stood in front of me, and kissed my forehead.
"It's done well." He said with a slightly sad smile that seemed to be filled with bitterness.
I smiled wryly in my mind. As expected, women are great actors.
"Thank you, Your Majesty" I said.
Dina nodded small. He then left the stage with a vulnerable expression.
However, he has achieved his goal.
Because the nobles who are highly valued by the emperor are no longer important to us.
We have the support of (Hidden History). We have the support of the Quintin family ancestors and guards.
And once they gave their words, the opinions of the nobles would not be the slightest problem.
The emperor, empress, and Alan, however, did not know it. For them, Dina's growing popularity is our weapon to aim for the throne.
Hence, now that they had taken care of it, they no longer needed to care about Dina.
When Dina left the stage, the emperor looked once again at me.
“Good work, young man. I was rather surprised that there was such a strong person in the younger generation of the empire. ”
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty."
“Mm. Go and rest. I'll hold an audience with you 1 hour later. ”
"Understood." Bowing slightly, I left the stage under the cheers of the audience.

“Damn it!” Carlo, the old man who interrupted the fight of Claus and Louis, slammed the table with an angry expression. "I swear I'll kill them!"
“Quiet, old man. Don't fidget.” A middle-aged man spoke at that moment, trying to calm this powerful powerhouse.
“Do not fidget? How can you say that after my disciple is crippled to console the Imperial Family! The fucking Quintin family! I swear I'll kill them each!”
"Propsy. Opportunity will be reached soon.we just need to wait a little more.”
The old man snorted, but he seemed to agree with the middle-aged man's words.
"Right, who's the little bastard who hurt my student?"
The middle-aged man frowned in his mind.
“... He is the true leader of the Red Skull Gang. I still don't know how much he is involved in the current situation. But I know he has a relationship with the church.”
“I don't care about that. I want to kill him!”
The middle-aged man hesitated. In fact, he disliked the idea of offending such a powerful force as the church at this difficult time.
But seeing the hatred on the old man's face, he finally relented.
"OKAY. But you have to wait until after the coup.”
"I can wait that long." The old man agreed. "But how much longer do we have to wait?"
“Until the emperor's birthday. That day will be the beginning of everything.”
