I Became A Villain In A Novel
Thirty-four
Now that they were in the imperial capital of Ravnos, everyone thought that the ruler of Ravnos was a just and wise man, visible from the peace and prosperity of the capital.
"Very peaceful here, the atmosphere is also comfortable and people look friendly without distinguishing status." Cecilia smiled sincerely.
Sometimes Liona thinks that Cecilia is a person who has a big sincere side, but why is she hypocritical?
"Welcome to the Ravnos empire." A large general in silver armor looked gallant.
He allowed the cavalry to enter through the imperial gate, a magnificent white palace typical of beautiful ancient roman buildings.
Getting off the horse, they were directed towards the resting room before meeting with the emperor Ravnos, everyone looked very enthusiastic.
"Truly ancient style, the atmosphere is very peaceful and cool." Luther could not help but be amazed at the exquisite interior.
The walls are beautifully carved, there are paintings of the gods gaia, uranus, athanatos, ares, athena, zeus, there are also paintings of wars against Golems and Trolls.
"There's a golem too?" Ask Liona.
"Yes, in the history of the Ravnos empire, ancient ancestors and emperors fought the Golems and the Trolls." Sean explained.
"Isn't the Golem made of earth or stone turned on?" Liona looked at Sean and raised both eyebrows.
"Right, in recorded history, the people who made the Golems were nameless troops, they attacked the empire randomly for what purpose, no matter what, but because Ravnos was stronger the war was won by us, even though the amount of loss was huge."
"It's also recorded in my family's secret book, saying that these nameless troops often do crazy things just because they're bored." Luther frowned and shook his head speechlessly.
"Just because you're bored?"
"That's right, they attacked the empire or the people for no reason, they were just bored."
Liona was speechless, on the grounds of being bored of them killing innocent people?
The great general told them to rest for a while, he would pick them up later to meet the emperor, there was no rebuttal and they just complied.
***
After we rested, the great general picked us up, for some reason I was so nervous, it felt like I was going to meet the future in-laws.
Our arrival was announced by the doorman, after the emperor let us in, we respectfully saluted.
"Wake up."
Looking a very handsome middle-aged man, his face 2 points more similar to Sean, the emperor looked at Sean with gentleness.
Although the fourth prince was not known, he was the emperor's favorite son.
"May long live for the imperial sun." Our greetings in unison.
The Emperor nodded and told us to sit down where we had been prepared.
"I as emperor of Ravnos thank all of you who have volunteered for Ravnos."
To the gratitude of Emperor Erros William Ravnos, each one of us is a very precious gift.
It was a very rare piece of lazuardi gem, its beautiful blue color exuded a beautiful luster and filled with magic, everyone was grateful for the cheap gift.
Emperor Erros said that lapis lazuli was not very important because he had many, it felt like my heart was bleeding for no reason.
Our meeting with the emperor only took a short while, because he is a very busy emperor!
Elios, Luther and Arthur took me around and saw parts of the palace.
"W-can I come with you?" Cecilia suddenly came to us and Luther and Elios had cold faces.
"Why do you have to go with us? Do you think we'd be willing to be followed by you?" Arthur said cynically.
He was completely different from usual! I checked it out, Cecilia was not in control but her nature was often fickle, like now she looks more honest, it makes us all feel doubtful.
"No!" Arthur immediately refused firmly, leaving Cecilia shocked with teary eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I won't bother you guys anymore, I, I'm really sorry." Cecilia ran away embarrassed.
We looked at each other and felt that maybe Cecilia had a double personality, sometimes it looked sincere sometimes it really looked fake.
At that time he also asked for help with a tone that sounded desperate, I really did not understand what was wrong with Cecilia.
We didn't care about him anymore and went around enthusiastically, Sean was summoned by the emperor, for nothing but I didn't care.
"This room looks gloomy." Luther pointed to one of the rooms that had no guards, in this hallway there was no one at all.
"Do we have to go in?"
"Can?"
"Not rude?"
The argument stopped, and we all decided to go into a very gloomy room out of curiosity.
It felt like a test of guts, what if this room was a forbidden place, or what if this room was the personal place of the emperor?
But out of curiosity, we paid no heed to it and entered into a room that looked gloomy.
The room was very dark, and there was a faint low growling sound, the door closed by itself.
We walked carefully, arriving at a large black cage with a very strong seal pattern.
The pressure was heavy, my breath was tight, I looked at Elios, Luther and Arthur who were bowing in fatigue.
"Are we going out?" I asked after seeing those who were tired.
"No, we're already here." Luther answered and wiped the sweat off his forehead.
We looked at the cage carefully, the originally dim light faintly lit up, the mythological creature that was sealed was watching us.
"Khimera?" Mumamku surprised.
Elios, Luther, and Arthur looked at me, Chimera, one of the mythological creatures of Greek mythology who was a mixture of lions, goats, and snakes.
Why are mythological creatures here? Especially this in the seal?
"Who are you?" Asked in a weak voice, we did not reply and just looked at him in surprise.
"Why are you here?" Ask again.
"We were guests walking around in Ravnos, then looking at this room, out of curiosity we came in and met you." I explained briefly, he was silent.
"Then come back!" He spoke in a low voice.
"Why are you in the seal?"
"It's none of your business, it'd be better if you didn't know it, I didn't want to harm innocent people."
Actually I want to stay there and ask a lot of questions, but he's right, the more I know about something the more danger that threatens my life.
Luther invited us out, saying it was not good to interfere in the affairs of other peoples' countries.
I saw him once again, he looked smiling, ah is that just my hallucination?
