“Bless…!”
People were shocked by the statement that fell like a bomb.
“Is that, is that really true, Bizra? Do you really possess the blessed eyes?”
The Emperor asked again.
Bizra calmly nodded her head.
“Yes. They manifested when I was three years old.”
“Why, why did you hide this until now?”
“Because there was no reason to mention it.”
At Bizra’s words, not only the Emperor and Empress but everyone was flustered.
The blessed eyes were literally a blessing bestowed by the gods upon the House of Karnuss.
Everyone would be desperate to announce such a thing, yet she had kept it hidden all this time.
“…Well, what does the reason matter. What’s important is that the long silence in this imperial family has finally ended and blessings have descended once again.”
The Emperor, who had shaken his head, belatedly regained his smile.
He spread both arms with a joyful expression.
“Congratulations, Bizra. The Three Patron Deities will always illuminate your future with blessings. Be happy.”
Even upon hearing that Bizra, not his own son and Crown Prince, possessed the blessed eyes, the Emperor showed no disappointment whatsoever.
“Congratulations, Princess. Thanks to you, the future of the Karnuss Empire has become much brighter.”
Empress Sophia seemed somewhat disappointed inwardly, but still sincerely congratulated Bizra.
However, their son was different.
Feliks’s face, standing behind the Emperor and Empress, was rigidly hardened.
It was the first time that guy, who was skilled at managing his expressions, had revealed his emotions so openly.
Well, I’m surprised too, but that guy must be even more shocked.
“The Three Patron Deities truly bless this Empire!”
At the Emperor’s words, I gave a bitter smile.
Unfortunately, what was about to happen would not be joyful at all.
“Therefore, Your Majesty, I would like to demonstrate the truth of my eyes to everyone here. Would you permit it?”
While the blessed eyes could see through one truth about anyone, there was only one way to prove it was truly a power received from the gods.
The reaction of fellow royalty.
Those who inherited Karnuss blood would show special physical changes when reacting to the blessed eyes.
So to reveal the blessed eyes, it was proper to use them in the presence of royalty.
However, since this occasion wasn’t arranged for her, the Emperor and Empress were simply bewildered by Bizra’s request.
Moreover, to see the truths they held in a place with so many people present.
“Princess, that is…”
“That doesn’t seem like a good idea.”
Then Feliks immediately stepped forward in opposition.
“Since the blessed eyes are special, I believe it would be proper to create a separate occasion for announcement after the Harvest Festival ends.”
He really was brilliant at making excuses.
The Emperor and Empress seemed to agree as well.
But if not now, Bizra would never be able to prove her blessed eyes.
Because she would die by Feliks’s hand.
“No, I believe this place, where all children of the Three Patron Deities are present, is the most opportune time for proof.”
Bizra, who knew this fact better than anyone, declared boldly.
“I must do it here and now.”
“Princess! Show restraint!”
Feliks shouted, but Bizra didn’t spare him a single glance.
At Bizra’s stubborn appearance, the Emperor pressed his forehead.
It would be difficult to refuse.
If he did, countless speculations would arise about why the blessed eyes ceremony was being postponed.
To prevent wicked suspicions toward the Imperial Palace from spreading, the Emperor would have to accept.
“…We shall conduct the blessed eyes ceremony.”
I knew it would come to this.
“Your Majesty…!”
Feliks was flustered, but the Emperor no longer listened to his words.
Impressive. Compared to Bizra, Feliks seems like nothing but fake madness.
“Then I shall first see His Majesty the Emperor’s truth.”
Bizra looked at the Emperor.
【A blessing of the Three Patron Deities has been detected near the User.】
【’Bizra Karnuss’ activates the blessed eyes.】
Huh? This is the first time a message unrelated to me has appeared.
Is it because the blessed eyes are related to the Three Patron Deities?
Or maybe it’s thanks to my divine power growing stronger.
“My goodness, the color of her pupils…!”
“Princess truly has…!”
People exclaimed in amazement.
The beautiful blue-green pupils that had been passed down through generations of the imperial family.
But now her pupils had changed to a deep blue color.
It was like the color of the sea holding brilliant starlight.
“The eyes of truth!”
It was proof that the blessed eyes were seeing the truth.
“His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince’s pupils too…!”
If Bizra’s eyes had turned blue, the Emperor and Feliks’s eyes had turned green.
It was such a deep, deep verdant color that it brought to mind Amazon forests.
It was proof that they were reacting to the blessed eyes.
With this, Bizra had proven the fact that she had manifested the blessed eyes.
“His Majesty the Emperor…”
Bizra, who had been looking at the Emperor for a moment, bit her lip slightly.
“You are trapped in the day my father passed away.”
“…!”
Bizra’s father.
In other words, the Emperor’s brother.
At the words that he still couldn’t escape from his death, the assembly fell silent for a moment.
“…He was my only brother. That ungrateful bastard who left this world before me.”
The Emperor burst into lamentation with a sad face.
Bizra now turned her head toward the Empress.
“Her Majesty the Empress…”
Bizra stopped speaking.
Her eyes trembled finely.
It was the first time such an expression was seen from the always cold Princess.
“…You have been looking after my mother’s family.”
Ah.
At Bizra’s choked voice, people looked at the Empress with tears in their eyes.
The Volgia Marquis House, Bizra’s maternal family.
After losing their daughter and even removing their only granddaughter from the family register so she could remain as royalty, the Marquis had developed a mental illness.
To think that the Empress had been looking after the Volgia family, which had slowly walked the path of decline.
Since no one knew, people couldn’t hide their shock.
“…Why is the Princess looking at such things.”
Empress Sophia frowned.
Her face couldn’t hide her embarrassment.
Both the Emperor and Empress were truly good people, so how on earth was such a son born?
Feliks’s face had now turned pale blue.
He won’t be able to escape.
After all, Bizra just needs to expose his true identity and it’s over.
Stupid Felix.
You should have killed Bizra first, not Idella or me.
“Then lastly….”
Bizra, having composed her emotions, looked at Crown Prince Felix.
Her brilliantly shining blue eyes wavered greatly.
Like a sea swept by storms.
“It’s Crown Prince’s turn.”
Everyone’s gaze focused on Felix.
Unable to escape, yet unable to just stand still, Felix had only one choice left.
To kill Bizra.
【Warning!】
【Warning!】
【Automatic warning system activated.】
【Monster attack begins!】
Perhaps because my divine power increased, it even warns me about monster attacks.
“Rute, get ready.”
I opened my inventory in advance.
Three, two, one.
Crash!
“Kyaaaah!”
“Aah, what is it!”
“M-monsters!”
All the windows of the banquet hall shattered as monsters came rushing in.
All the monsters had one target.
Bizra in the center of the banquet hall.
The claws of the first monster to fly in aimed for Bizra.
Bang!
I pulled out my mace from inventory and immediately struck the monster.
Then I quickly drew my holy gun and created a protective barrier around Bizra.
Thud, thud!
Kyaaaah!
The monsters pounded frantically, but it won’t break easily.
Because I’m continuously channeling the holy gun’s energy into it.
“Perfect timing, right?”
I winked at Bizra.
“Yes, it’s perfect.”
Bizra smiled with satisfaction and looked up at Felix on the stairs.
The moment their eyes met.
Bizra calmly shouted.
“Felix Roan Carnuss, the Crown Prince. I announce to everyone that he is a subordinate of ‘Evil’ that births monsters!”
Her dignified cry echoed resoundingly throughout the hall.
Finally, the truth was revealed.
My whole body tingled with the refreshing feeling of downing a cup of ice-cold soda.
