Chapter 141 – King of Emperors (3)

-King of Emperors’ POV-

I drink some wine but I don’t feel any better.

I look at my missing arm.

Why do I have to go through this?

When will the investigation team return?

Will they find a replacement for the magic stone?

No, they will.

I’m sure the three gods will guide them.

There’s no need to be afraid.

 

Afraid?

I’m afraid?

I throw my cup against the wall.

The two women nearby screamed but that caused me to be more irritated.

I glare at them and they shrivel up and tremble.

 

Yes, I’m the strongest being in this world.

I am to be feared and respected.

Why do I have to be afraid? I’m the king of this world!

I kicked the desk in front of me.

It hit the nearby chair making a loud noise.

「I have no fear!」

My irritation surges up.

It’s neither fear nor anxiety.

I’m irritated with those around me that can’t carry out my orders.

Fear has no place in my life!

「Wine!」

A woman nearby immediately goes out of the room to get wine.

Why didn’t she prepare it beforehand?

What happened to the maidservant?

Damn, they’re all useless!

I look at the other woman in the room.

「I’m bored. Entertain me.」

「Eh….」

「Hurry up!」

「Y-yes」

She started dancing but….what the hell is that?

Is that even a dance?

「You can’t even dance! You have my precious blood but you can’t even do something useful?」

I threw a nearby book at her.

She was hit and fell down.

「Forgive me, my king. Forgive me.」

「Shut up!」

As I approached the fallen woman, I could see that she was shaking, probably from fear.

Is this one worthy of being kept alive? How can someone with my blood be this incompetent?

If she gives birth to my child, she’ll probably give birth to a man.

…rubbish.

I took out a knife I kept in my pocket.

I don’t need garbage.

The sight of her eyes widening from horror and spewing blood from her mouth makes me feel a little better.

 

When my laughter echoes in the room, the room is dyed by pure white light.

I close my eyes but my body shakes with fear as I collapse on the floor.

 

I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die.

 

I don’t know how much time passed by after that.

However, I can’t stop trembling. The desk I’m holding is even making a rattling sound.

I had my eyes wander around the room.

I’m scared I’m scared.

 

Why is no one by my side at a time like this?

What happened to my knight?

All of them!

 

I put my hand on the floor and tried to stand up but when I saw my hand, I stopped moving.

….what the hell is this?

What’s going on with my hand?

Why is it like this…what’s happening?

My hands, which look taut and firm, have turned black, wrinkled, and ugly and they look like they are nothing but skin and bones.

 

I was unable to accept the reality in front of me then, I heard the sound of knocking on my door.

When it opened, I saw a monster coming in.

 

What is that thing? How can such a creature enter my room?

What are the guards doing…what?

What the hell is that thing?

 

I hear the door open again.

I see my knights come into the room.

They are finally here. I’ll have to punish them later.

「A high mage….」

What?

That monster?

It can’t be…the magic stone broke?

That’s impossible. That magic stone was given to me by the three gods.

I won’t believe that. No no no no no no no no.

 

He’s lying.

What are you doing? Kill that monster now!

「I am the king…the only person….god….appointed….to be….the king…of this world.」

The monster they called a high mage fell to the floor.

He began to get more and more disfigured that it was unbearable to look at.

….I’m different. I am a recognized being so I’m different.

 

Scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary.

I can’t die, I’m the king of the world….

Scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary scary.

I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die I don’t want to die!

 

Please, gods!

 

One of my wives is in front of me.

I know those eyes. Eyes of extreme hate.

 

Why….did…..you….hurt….me….?

I am…..the….king….of….the….world…………………………
