I’m Trapped in a Bloody Reverse Harem Game - Chapter 54

“We’re here.”

Upon arriving at the Imperial Palace, Dion jumped out of the carriage. It was embarrassing to see the knight in charge of the escort jump first and walk away. Even when I couldn’t attack, I tried to be polite so why does he dislike me so much?

I squinted at Dion, whose hands twitched, looking like he was considering approaching me.

No, I don’t think he can’t hide his dislike…

I couldn’t tell if it was because he was trying to hide the fact that he had a crush on me. Dietrich stepped out of the carriage first and reached out to me as I stared at him.

“Come down carefully, Saintess.”

Instead of Dion, Dietrich took my hand and said. His offer to escort was as natural as flowing water. Holding his hand and descending, I looked around.

There’s no one here this time.

Just like last run, no one came out to greet me. Even at that time, I knew that no one would welcome a saint from the Holy Land, but I was stunned by the treatment that was so different from the Holy Land. Dion took the lead as if guiding me around.

“Your Majesty is waiting for you, so come here.”

“Yes.”

“Your Majesty hates seeing faces, so you must never show your face.”

Dion gave me a brief note of caution. I knew why the Emperor didn’t want to show his face. The Emperor was currently suffering from an illness. With a terminal illness that melts his face, the Emperor had become extremely reluctant to meet people and had become hysterical.

I replied with a light nod.

“I will.”

People in the empire didn’t know it was poison, not a disease. It was a method used by the Second Prince, who kept the First Prince in check and poisoned the Emperor to take away the position of the First Prince. The Emperor, who became unstable due to the poison, was falling for the tricks of the Second Prince.

If you target the First Prince, you will have to help him become the emperor. The First Prince is such a helpless person, so he’s been suffering.

Recalling the game’s settings, I followed Dion’s steps.

The Emperor’s place was quite remote. It may be so that nothing gets on his nerves, especially since he became more sensitive after being poisoned. After passing through a corridor full of escorts without servants, we finally arrived in front of the Emperor’s room.

Dietrich went inside first. Not long after, I waited quietly with Dion. Dietrich came out again and led us.

“His Majesty is not feeling well right now, so you can’t get any closer. Let’s meet only the princes since they are gathered.”

Ditrich said with a troubled expression. Whether the Emperor is well or not, it has nothing to do with me, so I nodded.

It was better for me to meet the target character.

“Come in, Saintess.”

The door led to a drawing room. When I entered the drawing room with a foul herbal odor, I saw three men occupying the chair. Behind them, a man in glasses stared at me coldly.

<Target character Imperial Secretary ‘Adrian’ discovered!>

<Target character Crown Prince ‘Lucius’ discovered!>

<Met all the target characters!>

-Reward: obtained ‘Herb Classification’ (passive skill)

<Herb Classification (passive skill)>

– ‘Potion Making’

– You can now distinguish which herbs are needed to make potions.

The brown-haired man wearing glasses was Adrian, and one of the princes sitting before him was Lucius.

I could tell who was the target character just by looking at his face. If you see a character who is noticeably more handsome than other characters, that was the target character.

I looked past Adrian’s eyes, which were glancing at me with disapproval, and identified the man sprawled from his chair.

A man with impressive dark hair lowered his eyes lazily. He leaned into a chair, slowly blinking his golden eyes, similar to Orias.

First Prince Lucius. He was a man who had ability but no ambition, and was not interested in becoming the emperor.

“Welcome to the Empire, Saintess.”

After confirming that Lucius had no intention of talking to me, the Second Prince spoke to me with a smile on his face.

He spoke to me calmly with a gentle face. As he got up from his chair and came close, he took my hand and kissed it.

Well, he certainly looks like a villain.

I hid my thoughts and smiled at him.

“Thank you for your hospitality.”

“I have a lot of expectations for the saint. May you be a great help to the Empire.”

The Second Prince seems to want me to be on his side. The Holy Land’s influence on the Empire is not so great, but if the Holy Land empowers him, it will be easier to become an emperor.

I nodded with a smile.

“Of course. I will do my best for the Empire according to the teachings I have received from the Holy Father.”

I’m going to steal information about the Holy Land from the Empire. Badly.

Smiling insidiously, I made eye contact with the First Prince, who was still lying still. He stared at me with droopy eyes. A cool light was hidden in those lethargic-looking eyes. I took a slow look at his firm body, despite being a wizard.
