The Evil Empress Adores Me-Chapter 76

Well, what if Diamide goes wild?

You could lose your life trying to receive a blessing.

I felt proud as I watched Diamide naturally lead the atmosphere.

Who raised that talented Diamide? It was me!

‘Well, to be exact, he grew up under the Empress’s support... ... .’

But, I still think I contributed the most!

While I was having such leisurely thoughts, I happily watched the nobles chattering away.

“Your Majesty the Emperor, ordering the Crown Prince to use the power of the Divine Beast!”

“That’s not right!”

“Please stop giving such an excessive order!”

Before I knew it, the nobles were anxious to stop Diamide, fearing that he might use his power.

Okay, if this continues, I think we might be able to get through this safely.

My eyes sparkled.

At that moment, Diamide shook his head.

“No.”

... ... Huh?

I looked back at Diamide with a trembling face.

Diamide, what did you just say?

“Isn’t His Majesty the Emperor expecting a lot from me?”

Hey, you... ... are you really going to give me the blessing of the divine beast?

I was terrified.

In the original, when Diamide mastered the power of the divine beast, he was already over twenty years old!

But Diamide seemed sincere.

A mysterious smile hung on his lips.

Diamide folded his eyes gently and spoke to the Emperor.

“So, I should live up to your expectations.”

“That’s enough, Diamide.”

The Emperor then replied with a face as if he had bitten a rock.

Good, Uncle Emperor!

You’re the first to say something you like!

“I was short-sighted. “I didn’t know the nobles would object so much.”

“No, I am glad that I have this opportunity to prove my loyalty... ... .”

Diamide’s smile deepened.

It was a sharp smile, like a sharp blade.

He finished his words.

“I am very happy.”

For a moment, I was speechless at the sight before my eyes.

Isn’t this what a fantasy that has finally become reality looks like, descending into reality?

Above Diamide’s back, three pairs of giant wings made of light sprouted.

They were pure silver wings that symbolized the divine beast.

I swallowed my breath.

I realized that when I witnessed such an amazing sight, I couldn’t even exclaim in amazement.

The three pairs of wings fluttered wildly, and the feathers filled the air, turning into light.

“... ... Your Highness, Crown Prince.”

I pursed my lips slightly.

Even though it was a very small voice, Diamid naturally looked back at me.

The sharp eyes, like broken glass, softened the moment they met my eyes.

Why was that?

At that moment, I could only see Diamid.

Diamid whispered in a low voice.

“Charles.”

Diamid approached me and lightly took my hand.

As our hands overlapped, a warm energy flowed into every corner of my body.

I held my breath.

How should I describe this feeling?

If I had to use a metaphor... ... .

It felt like the warmest spring had descended on the ground that had been frozen for a long time.

The power that sprouts life and makes it grow.

Then, I felt a faint sense of discomfort.

This power that gently wetted my body felt familiar somehow.

As if we had been in contact for a very long time... ... .

‘No, useless thoughts.’

I shook my head.

Common sense would tell me that it couldn’t be true, right?

What would a mere maid like me have to do with the power of the divine beast?

Rather... ... .

‘Diamide.’

I bit my lip and looked at Diamide.

What if his body was strained while using the power of the divine beast?

“Your Majesty, are you okay?”

“Yes, I am okay.”

Diamide nodded slightly at my worried question.

He then turned his head and looked at the numerous people looking at him.

He passed the Emperor’s glaring eyes and the Empress who was smiling faintly... ... .

He cast his gaze one by one at the astonished nobles.

At the same time, the six wings that had sprouted from his back fluttered magnificently.

“Blessings ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) of the divine beast to all.”

The words of blessing rang out.

The wings transformed into light and poured down over the heads of the people.

It was a warm light.

The people who were watching the scene as if in a trance eventually let out voices filled with astonishment.

“... ... Oh my, the scar on the back of my hand has disappeared!”

It started with the exclamation of a middle-aged nobleman.

Following that, the people began to praise one by one.

“I, too, can no longer feel the back pain I’ve had for so long!”

“My legs that were numb for years are now fine, what’s going on?!”

“Oh my God, what’s going on?!”

The people were now looking up at Diamid with eyes filled with wonder.

I thought of the power of the divine beast described in the original.

The power of the divine beast is divided into two types: destruction and purification.

Among them, the power of purification is the power to cleanse what is evil.

Since human suffering is also classified as evil, the power of purification also acts as a healing power.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

Theoretically, it can save people whose lives are in danger, or even people whose souls are wounded and cannot wake up... ... .

‘Actually, it was said that it was almost a miracle.’

It was an absurd miracle that only Karpel, the first emperor who made a direct contract with the divine beast, could accomplish.

It is said that directly interfering with a human life is a great burden even for the caster who uses the power.

‘Besides, in the original work, Diamide... ... did not awaken the power of purification until the end.’

I furrowed my brows.

Diamide was so consumed by revenge that he awakened the power of destruction.

That power made Diamide the strongest in the world, and Diamide eventually put the entire world under his feet... ... .

The ending must have been lonely.

In that case, would it be better to have awakened the power of purification first?

I nodded in satisfaction.

‘... ... Yes, what if it’s a little different from the original?’

I had intended to twist the original from the beginning, and above all, Diamide was so recognized by people.

Now, the people seemed to have no regard for the Emperor.

Their praise was all directed at Diamide.

“I never thought I would experience the blessings of a legendary beast with my own body... ... .”

“As expected, the crown prince is the only legitimate heir of the royal family!”

“You are the successor to the founding emperor Karpel, so how foolish would you be?”

Countless praises poured down.

Diamide ignored the praises with an indifferent face, and then suddenly raised his head.

The emperor was glaring at Diamide as if he was going to kill him.

Towards the Emperor who could not suppress his anger, Diamide smiled.

“Under the protection of the divine beast, the sun and moon of the empire shine endlessly.”

Diamide bowed his head to the Emperor and Empress as if to show respect.

The Emperor clenched his teeth.

On the other hand, the Empress answered Diamide politely.

“It was like seeing the second coming of the divine beast. It was really great, Crown Prince.”

Wow-!

A huge cheer erupted.

I stared at Diamide’s back, my heart pounding with excitement.

At that moment, Diamide met my eyes.

He pursed his lips slightly.

‘How was it? I did well?’

Really, that guy!

I gave up on focusing on my eyes and ended up chuckling.

That evening.

The Empress was clinging to me with a gloomy face.

She buried her head in my shoulder and whined softly.

“Charles, I don’t want to go to the banquet.”

“Hey, you should go anyway.”

I smiled and comforted the Empress, who was pouting.

Hmm, our Empress is pretty even when she frowns.

Well, it’s understandable that she would hate it.

The Empress had a very busy schedule today.

Diamide and I could just pay our respects, but the Empress had to attend the banquet following the harvest festival.

“Our Charles will understand me, right? How annoying it is to dress up for hours!”

The Empress clenched her fists and shouted.

The pearl bracelet on her wrist jingled at the chill.

“And even with all that effort, the only people I’ll meet are the Emperor and the nobles!”

“T-Take it easy. If you bite your lips, your lip makeup will be ruined.”

“How could you not take it easy in this situation?”

The Empress was now about to swing her fist at the air.

“I’m sick of just smiling!”

But fortunately, I had a secret weapon to calm the Empress’s excitement.

I took a deep breath and blinked my eyelashes as cutely as I could.

“But Charles likes it when the Empress dresses up nicely.”

Ugh, calling yourself in the third person at ten years old... ... .

How cringey?!

I shuddered.

However, the effect was perfect for the Empress.

The Empress looked at me with sparkling eyes.

“Really? Does our Charles like it when I make him pretty?”

“Yes! In fact, Her Majesty the Empress is the prettiest person in the world even when she doesn’t do anything.”

I said seriously.

Although it was a lame compliment, the Empress seemed to feel a little better.

“Still, when good things come together, it’s even better, right?”

“Good things come together, huh... ... What exactly are you talking about?”

“Um... ... When you put ice cream on a brownie, it tastes even better, right? Something like that.”

The Empress made a face like she was going to burst out laughing at my crude analogy.

I became sullen.

Oh, that’s just how I speak.

Then the Empress patted my shoulder.

“Charles’ analogy was so apt, I understood what he meant the moment I heard it.”
