Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 174 – CONFESSION SECRET YASMIN
I mediated the conflict between the administrator officers and the paladins in the Lugwein region.
Basically, I know it's the cunning of paladins to seek names by demonizing my government before the people. But the basic problem has not changed. This was all due to the people's fears of an invasion of flying monsters coming from the north of the continent.
It also meant that as long as the problem of monsters in the Arteic Continent was resolved, everything would also be resolved. The people of the Lugwein region will be calm and the paladins will have no more room to criticize me.
I asked Doctor Minerva if it was possible for us to immediately teleport to a place we had never been to like the Arteic Continent.
“It was not possible for the teleporter to teleport to a place he had never visited, Your Majesty.”
“So apparently.”
I was immediately disappointed by Doctor Minerva's remark. But nevertheless, the,
“But I've been there before, Your Majesty. So it allows.”
I did not expect that Doctor Minerva's adventure had gone that far even to the coldest continent.
- Wooosh.
In a short time, I, Yasmin, and Doctor Minerva were already at the southern end of the Northern Arteic Continent.
I asked Doctor Minerva to wait at our landing site, while let me and Yasmin who will go down to the deeper regions of the Arteic Continent covered by the ice.
Doctor Minerva Langung agreed. Apparently, he was more interested in researching the relics and carcasses of the cold sea creatures there.
“Ah, what a beautiful sight! Many strange animals on this continent that really caught my attention.”
“…”
I tried to melt the atmosphere by inviting Yasmin to chat first. However, he only responded to me with a nod.
As I said, here there are many strange animals with giant size more than the animals on other continents. That was because the nature here was so pure that it was possible for the animals to evolve into magical animals easily or that were commonly known by ordinary residents as monsters.
Yasmin my turtle is one of them. However different from monsters contaminated with mana to die, magical beasts with which nature should be harmless. They are basically tame and will not attack humans, unless they are disturbed first.
That was why the existence of the magic beasts in the Arteic Continent really helped to prevent the invasion of the demons in the western continent from the north.
Ah, I prefer to call them magical beasts rather than monsters to distinguish them from the contaminated evil monsters where they die. Unfortunately, research on tamers has not been too developed in the Continent of Ernoa because of public sentiment that equates them to summoners who cooperate with evil monsters, even though the actual magical animals are different.
I also did not have much time to use to develop the research since struggling with drugs alone with my position as emperor was already an unusual thing to do, he said, moreover, I have never studied directly the science of taming.
That is why until now the knowledge of magic animals is still not developed in the Continent of Ernoa. Moreover, the existence of magic animals themselves is quite rare because they can only be created in places that have high purity of nature such as in the Arteic Continent or in the mountains that are rarely touched by humans.
Back to the matter, the appearance of contaminated flying monsters mana die from the Arteik Continent. This is something unusual, unless there are ignorant hands that have broken the balance of nature.
“Ah, I miss Yasmin terribly!”
“Master, I'll be on Master's side at the moment.”
“Hahaha. I mean not Yasmin my maid, but Yasmin my turtle. When I came here, I remembered promising him that if I ever set foot on the Arteic Continent, I would return it to its habitat. But now that promise is impossible for me to fulfill since the tortoise disappeared right after your appearance, Yasmin.”
“…”
Once again Yasmin just kept quiet without answering my question.
“Well, Yasmin, you know that I trust you so much?”
“Of course, Master. So did I who trusted Master.” very much
“Then, can you be honest about who you really are? I've been searching all this time at every orphanage associated with the holy temple about someone named Yasmin. However, it is absolutely nothing that fits your identity since black eyes and black hair like the two of us are rare things in the Meglovia.” region
“I have a good memory. So even though I couldn't see well the hair color of someone standing near me because it was covered by a mantilla, I clearly remembered the color of his eyes was not black, but brown. You were not one of the five sacred servants sent to Painfinn City at that time, Yasmin. So, who are you exactly?”
“…”
I stared at Yasmin's face carefully to detect any possible lies she was throwing. However, Yasmin still chose to remain silent.
“Yasmin, I told you whoever you are, I will still trust you. We have been together for over seven years. So I'm asking you to be honest with nothing else to hide.”
“…”
“Does this have anything to do with you being too emotional when discussing witch? Sorry because I'm not polite to ask, but, do you happen to also be a witch?”
The words that I had been trying to endure, were finally released also in my mouth.
At first, I just wanted to put Yasmin beside me without expecting more from her, let alone believing her. As I said before, for me only Albert and Talia are the ones I can trust in this world. However, long with the others since from Painfinn City, I also want to trust them and put them in my heart.
But I was too afraid to get hurt.
That's why I don't want any more lies between us, even though that honesty will be bitter.
“It's true, Master. I'm a witch.”
Yasmin's words instantly broke my heart. Not that Yasmin is guilty just because she's a witch. However since he was a witch, it meant that he obtained his strength from where he died which meant that he had once utilized the lives of others for his strength.
“So apparently. In that case, is it a coincidence that my turtle Yasmin is actually also you?”
“It's true, Master. There was a conflict between me and the witch object then I lost the fight and then she changed my form into a turtle.”
“Lantas, what do you think of our togetherness during this time? Is it just a lie and just playing around in the middle of your eternal age?”
Hearing my words, Yasmin immediately shook her head strongly.
“Which might be like that, Master! For me, Master is everything!”
Can I trust the words that come from that witch? Or will I allow myself to be deceived any longer behind his hypnosis? Obviously I should never have believed any words that came from a servant of the Devil, but why do I feel that Yasmin is different?
“But what if the witch could not take it off even though she had tried her hardest to release her true strength from the start unwanted?!”
I remembered Yasmin's words that night. And now I understand what that means. Yasmin was none other than the victim of the Devil King's greed.
But there are still things I don't understand. How could Yasmin use mana nature all this time when she was a witch? He was a witch which meant he had absolutely no mana pool in his body.
Where does the power of nature come from? I have never seen him use runes when he took out a stance.
However, that is not an important issue to discuss at this time.
“Thank God, I'm glad to hear that, Yasmin. Well then, Yasmin is still my precious maid regardless if she is a witch or not. Right?”
“Master.”
Yasmin hugged me in sobs. I feel relieved. It was rare for Yasmin to show that expression. This will certainly show the sincerity of his speech, as long as he is not a true acting champion.
“Whatever happens, I am an ally of Yasmin.”
“I too, Master. I am Master's ally no matter what.”
“So can you tell me about your past and why you ended up being the witch Demon King, Yasmin?”
Yasmin began to tell about her dark past. However, she remained calm in telling it through my warm embrace.
