255. Attic (4)

"Your Majesty, you can't do this! No matter how loyal Sigismund is to Delcross, you still lead a group of knights into the territory without any prior notice! This is a clear disregard for castle and imperial law! "

The person who stopped the Holy Emperor and the Holy Knights who suddenly attacked without warning was Archduke Hendrik Sigismund, who was not yet the head of the family at the time.

However, there was no hesitation in the young Seonghwang's steps.

"Are you saying such things even after deliberately hiding the existence of your daughter, a member of the royal family? If you had notified me in advance, what would you have done to my child?"

"that!"

"If you are curious, I can personally show you what it is like to threaten a territory with force. So, get out of the way quickly. Before I hold you responsible for all of this."

As soon as those words were out, Knight Commander Katrina, moving like the limbs of a holy emperor, raised her long shield and pushed the Archduke aside.

"Father! Say something to Your Majesty!"

Hendrick, embarrassed, looked back, but Margrave Vincent just looked at the sheep without saying a word.

"...father?"

Hendrick, who had called again as if puzzled, took a deep breath in surprise.

The Margrave was not just turning a blind eye to the Emperor's actions. He was just frozen in extreme fear and unable to move.

Is it because I recently reached the level of Dekaron Knight? He sensed an unprecedented danger emanating from the young emperor.

"What is your Majesty..."

Yes, I felt like a mere ant facing a huge storm. The moment you rashly step in, you feel helplessly caught up in it, unable to preserve its shape and feeling like it will be torn apart.

Meanwhile, the Holy Emperor, who had climbed to the top of the mansion, pushed the knights back a little and opened the door to the attic himself.

Sigh.

In the dim light coming from the entrance, a skinny girl appeared. He looked pitiful, wearing shabby clothes and one leg twisted at a strange angle.

Seonghwang seemed to be greatly shocked, forgetting what to say for a moment and staring at the scene in bewilderment.

"dad......!"

At that time, Amel's eyes widened when he saw the success, and he smiled with joy.

It was obviously the first time we saw each other face to face, and it was as if we knew right away who our parents were.

However, the girl who was staggering towards him soon spotted the armed knights and flinched in surprise.

"...Amelia, how can you do that?"

A slightly low voice calls out the name of a daughter I have never heard.

Then the girl answered in a hushed voice.

"Well, my dad is a person who travels here and there by himself. He's never traveled with so many drivers...."

But I think it's my dad's face, which is really strange.

When the girl tilted her head, Seonghwang slowly approached the girl, fearing that she might be scared, and spoke.

"Yes. It is a good habit not to judge anything hastily. You are intelligent, Amelia."
