Blood Emperor

🥀 The Empire Begins Again (1)

The first vampire emperor is murdered

Several years have passed since the Adeline Duchess took power.

The empire is caught up in the noble Olivia's vampire revenge drama.

I must have spent the past years without thinking.

defiled temple

Disorganized status

Blood-stained imperial power

It took quite a while to sort it all out.

There were so many things that even the Duke of Adeline would find difficult to handle.

Many things have changed, and many things have been lost.

nevertheless,

The Serenity Empire gained a lot after the reorganization.

. . .

지현수

I greet you, Your Majesty the Emperor.

최승철

While I was organizing the information about Hong Ji-soo, I discovered things about you and those who were with you.

최승철

I thought you wouldn't come, but you accepted my invitation.

지현수

How could one refuse the command of the emperor of an empire?

최승철

is it so.

최승철

The previous emperor also knew the secret of the altar,

최승철

I planted you there.

최승철

The sound that was ringing in the uneasy empire was clearly the sound you raised.

최승철

Did you betray the previous emperor?

지현수

well.

지현수

You can see that by looking at the people of the empire today.

최승철

...okay.

최승철

If you don't mind,

최승철

Could you tell me about what happened there?

최승철

I heard that the altar is not used like that,

지현수

I think the story will be a little long,

지현수

Wouldn't there be a better time than this vacancy?

최승철

I will do that.

최승철

Until then, let's make sure you have a comfortable place to rest in the palace.

. . .

최승철

...Ugh, I'm a little tired.

김민규

Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty.

최승철

...I think things are a little more organized now

최승철

There's still a ton of stuff to do.

최승철

We are looking for talented people to help us organize our work, regardless of their status.

최승철

Could you please look it up for me?

김민규

You still don't lower your voice.

최승철

..how can I lower it?

최승철

I killed the benefactor you were trying to protect with my own hands...

최승철

...I just feel sorry.

김민규

...

김민규

He is my benefactor, but he is also the benefactor of His Majesty the Emperor.

김민규

As I said before,

김민규

The previous emperor left me a letter before he left.

최승철

...I said it was okay for me to stay here because it was his request.

최승철

I've already been in the palace for a long time, but even if I leave now...

김민규

In the end, I lost my mission to save that person's life.

김민규

But as he asked,

김민규

If I could just keep that request,

김민규

To the end, His Majesty the Emperor

김민규

I will protect you with my sword.

최승철

Even though we both received His grace,

최승철

I went a different way.

최승철

But thanks to him, we met on the same path.

Seungcheol speaks to Min-gyu with a confident expression, his heart firmly set.

최승철

I look forward to working with you in the future, Sir Kim Min-gyu.

문준휘

Kwon Soon-young!

권순영

Huh? Why.

문준휘

Didn't you check that the knights were training in the morning?

권순영

Did you check it?

문준휘

Really? Then tell me who came out.

권순영

Do you really have to say that?

권순영

Why do all the kids who always come out come out?

문준휘

...I haven't been there.

권순영

...Ahem-

문준휘

Why didn't you go today?

권순영

...It's been a long time since I've been to Cistus.

권순영

There are a few things to check,

문준휘

...ha,

권순영

That's why I told you to go in the morning!

문준휘

What are the details?

권순영

The bloody foundation on the side of Cistus,

권순영

And... Lee Chan and,

문준휘

Oh, that guy.

문준휘

How are you doing these days?

권순영

What are your favorite body movements?

권순영

It's not good to stay still and it's complicated to think about it, so,

권순영

It seems like they're going to perform in the city center.

문준휘

Looks like you're having a good time.

권순영

But what if a few knights were missing?

문준휘

No, a new person came in,

문준휘

I thought it was a face you'd be quite happy to see.

권순영

what?

Knock, knock-

문준휘

Come in.

최한솔

My name is Choi Han-sol, and I have been appointed as a knight under the Marquis of Celestine starting today.

최한솔

i look forward to.

권순영

...Choi Han-sol?

최한솔

Long time no see.

. . .

이찬

Ha... Why did I have to wake up so late today...!

Chan, who was running in a hurry as if he was late,

While I was running around like crazy,

A boy running out of an alley,

Chan is unable to avoid the madness and collides with the boy.

Kuung-!

이찬

Oh my, what should I do... are you okay?

-

Yes, it's okay.

이찬

...?

Looking at the boy's face,

Chan tilts his head and stares at the child intently.

-

...Why, why?

-

What's on my face, bro?

이찬

Huh? Oh no, nothing...

이찬

Where do you live?

-

I live in Cistus over there.

이찬

Were you born in Cistus?

-

Yes, but why?

이찬

Huh? No, nothing.

이찬

Just because he looks a lot like someone I know,

이찬

I thought he was that person's younger brother.

-

Oh, I see!

-

...Oh, I'm going to be late. I have to go to class.

이찬

Oh, sorry, I must have taken up a lot of your time.

이찬

Be careful on your way!

-

yes

이찬

...They clearly look similar.
