Transmigration: Forced to Be a Fake

50 - god of cans

"Greetings, Miss."

Meridian nodded at Herdian's brief greeting upon entering his room. A chair had been placed near the bed for Herdian to sit down and receive tea provided by the maid.

"Is Miss okay?"

Herdian's face is not healthy. He was just like when Meridians visited him back then. The difference was, Meridian knew he was like this because he was tired. His eye bags were clearly visible with slightly messy hair.

"I'm fine." The meridians coughed softly. "Young Duke, I forgot to thank you. Also, forgive me for inconveniencing your expedition. I've asked Dion to pay for the losses caused by me."

Herdian let out a weak breath. "Please don't say such a thing, Miss. I'm the one who doesn't do my job well. I should have taken care of Miss."

"Don't blame yourself for things that aren't your fault, Young Master." The meridian rests its back on a pile of pillows. "You alone, are you okay?"

"How can I not be okay if Miss worries about me."

Herdian reached into something from his pocket, then it appeared to be a ring box with a small sea-blue gem.

"I may not be able to see Miss as often as I usually do, but if Miss doesn't mind, I made a communication tool. I use stones with special mana flow. Unless they understand the structure, they will not hinder the communication between me and Miss through this ring. Would Miss take it?"

Whynot?

That's for communication, right?

Usually the main character is also sometimes kidnapped ugly criminals whose fate must be killed. If Meridian is kidnapped again to show the heroism of the male lead, then he can trim the kilse plot with his own abilities.

"Thank you." Meridian loves its blue color. "I've always received gifts from you, Young Master. I'll think of a special gift later too."

"Knowing Miss is happy is enough for me." Herdian smiled gently. "Then, to be honest I don't want to talk about burdensome matters, but Miss must be waiting for valuable information."

"I can always count on you. What'sthat?"

"We suspect that the fleeing Prince Ruben managed to find out Miss's magic power."

Meridian squinting. Raven didn't kill Ruben? "Did the Prince not be killed in the rebellion?"

"It was our fault in getting the information, Nonaku. There seems to be a kingdom strong enough behind the treachery of the kingdom that day. From the trail Raphael had obtained, there were a number of powerful witches hiding monitoring the rate of rebellion."

That's not possible. The idea of rebellion emerged from the Meridian so no one knew except Raven and the person behind Raven.

Because Raven is a clever villain character, her subordinates are likely made loyal and impossible to betray.

Then ... Raven betrayed?

No. gabe. That guy's already subdued. There was indeed a possibility of him betraying, but basically he was just a side character who was dragged down by the main character.

Unless this world was real, then Meridian would not believe him to be a traitor.

Patterns like this, what?

Hmmmmmmm.

Ah, could it be that because the plot changed, the god Laila created in this world intended to create an enemy for the Meridians?

Duh, if Meridian can not want to know about the false god, anyway. I don't know why the thought of meeting is boring.

"Are they witches who have the ability to detect?"

"Most magicians who have abilities like Dion are also good at hiding themselves, Miss. That's a reasonable conclusion."

"Then? Does any other country know?"

"For the time being, we're just thinking about the possibility of it being big enough."

"That's dangerous." Meridian sighs tired. "Worst likely, the holy kingdom will assume the empire started a revolution."

"I guessed it, Miss thought about it too. With Miss's magic power now, even if we prove Miss is not a threat, the people will still consider Miss's whereabouts a threat. People are always afraid of those they cannot control."

"Then, what is His Majesty's decision?"

Herdian looked extremely depressed as he said, "Your Majesty is thinking of speeding up the marriage, Miss."

"Some royal witches are trying hard to find a way to permanently curb one's magic power without posing any risk, but His Majesty feels he still has to take definite steps to ensure the safety of Miss as well as the safety of the community."

"So that's it." Meridians can understand. "That marriage, Your Majesty has complete control over me, as well as watching over me. If at any time the temple finds out, there is at least an alibi that His Majesty hid me under the constraints of the temple-compliant empire."

"There's also the risk of the temple still asking for Miss to be handed over, but Her Majesty would at least want to try to protect Miss in that way."

This pattern, Meridian felt his life would not return to normal after marrying Andaru.

Novels have a necessity of resolving the main character's conflict, so if Meridian marries Andaru while the neighboring country is after him, it's the same as leaving the conflict.

I don't know why.

I don't know why it feels like he's going to be disappointed.

Meridian folding hand. Started to think hard after so many days to let his head think only light things.

What he should do. What exactly is expected whether whoever is the perpetrator of Meridian soul abuse?

What does he want Meridians?

What's the only way to just obey him like a fool?

No. gabe.

Why not just destroy the holy kingdom?

"Herdians. You trust me?"

"I trust Miss more than I trust myself."

"That's overkill, but thank you."

"I swear." Herdian is serious. Crossed one hand on his chest and bowed lightly despite his higher rank. "I'll trust Miss. Please don't doubt my oath."

"O-o, okay." Meridian was confused as to what to reply. "I trust you too, so I'll ask you this. If I fight the temple and destroy the holy kingdom, what can it be?"

Herdian.

The cat that was seen sleeping but apparently pretended to sleep until jolted in shock, making the tail and feathers stand up.

Yes, yes, Meridian knows it's extreme thinking.

If in the real world too, for example, there are people who suddenly say they want to destroy all religions in the world so that no one else worships either that God or this God, or this God, then of course they cengo.

But since it is a novel, it should not be impossible. After all, didn't the demon nation also fight against humanity as a whole?

"That's ...."

"Is it impossible?"

"No. It's possible, Miss. With the power of Miss." Herdian nervous. "But, Miss must have understood that temples and sacred kingdoms had not relied solely on the sacred power of their priests for thousands of years. I only heard this from an uncertain source, but it was said, the weapons that were once used by a number of saints against the demon race were put in the holy kingdom. Destroying them might be something that takes a very long time."

He wanted to say impossible, but did not want Meridian to be disappointed.

Meridian was not disappointed. He just asked to see if this disgusting body was the strongest body in the world or not.

Of course it makes sense. Those who ruled for hundreds of years, thousands if counted before the empire stood, certainly not only formed churches with a number of fairy tales for the people to fear.

They control the royal family, so they are powerful.

If likened, they are Americans who dominate the world from various sides.

But ... As far as Meridian is concerned, America can also be fought with reckless strategies.

There is proper ammunition.

Moreover, this is just a game of temples with artificial gods. His God Meridian is far more powerful than the god of cans.
