"Please don't do this, Your Majesty."

“I don't think it's really dangerous.I'll be right back if I see any signs of danger, so don't stop me.”

"….Fine."

"Thank you."

I thanked him again, then straightened my back. Eunhan's eyes were full of worries.

"If you see any danger, please return to the Palace immediately."

“Alright, I promise.”

We walked down the stairs. That's not scary. No matter how hard I think about it, I don't think Macul can make such a complicated trap.

After walking a long distance down the stairs, a wall appeared before me. Once again, Macul broke down the wall.

Philip was the only one who could build such a wall right after the fire. What exactly is he trying to hide? Is it related to the Goddess Curse?

Bzz!

As I was thinking, the wall shattered into dust.

"Well…."

When I saw the scene behind the collapsed wall, I was amazed. Deep underground, there was a huge golden door.

A golden door with beautiful patterns is a work of art and luxury. Even though I have gotten used to the incredible treasures in this life, it is still shocking.

Macul circled around the golden door. The white light emitted by the Macul reflected on the gold and made it sparkle.

“It looks like they told me to go in there.”

“I go first.”

Eunhan stepped forward and pushed the door, but the golden door did not move.

"I think it's locked."

“Should I find the key? But I don't see a keyhole in the door.”.

“I can feel the strong power of the door itself. Looks like someone sealed it with magic.”

"What do I have to do to unseal it?"

“We need to find out the password, or open it myself.I'm not a witch, so I don't know exactly, but seeing this level of power, I think it will be difficult to force it open from the outside. ”

Philip had erected many walls to keep people away from this place.

The miracle that was placed a thousand years ago. Even if there was a password, Philip might have hidden it well and I wouldn't have been able to find it.

“Is there any other way?”

"I'm sorry."

Eunhan lowered her head. That means there is no road.

We've come all the way here.There may be a clue to lift Blake's curse inside this door.

Tears welled up in my eyes as Blake's shadow smiled helplessly as the pain of the curse appeared in my mind.

"Your highness…"

“I can't give up here.”

I looked at the golden door. Perhaps the password was hidden in the decorations engraved on the door. As I approached and touched the door to take a closer look, light flowed out from the golden door, and at that moment, a transparent curtain broke.

I was shocked and stepped back, but Eunhan approached the door.

"The seal has been opened."

"His seal has been opened?"

"Yes." Yeah."

“How can it be like that? Did the seal weaken over time? ”

“No, it's very strong. Your Majesty kept it open.”

"I? But I didn't do anything.”.

I just touched the door.

“I also don't know what happened.”

"Better now we go inside."

“Ya, Your Highness”

Eunhan pushed the golden door, and the heavy door began to open bit by bit.

Finally, all the doors opened and a secret hidden space was seen within.

“….”

I'm speechless. The spacious room was decorated with gold and precious stones.

It was the room that I saw in my memories back then. At that moment, I felt it was very beautiful, but now that I saw it in person, I felt it was more enchanting.

I really feel like the Goddess of Light brought me here. He gave Blake a chance to lift his curse.

"Lake in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunhan didn't stop me this time either. I quickened my pace as I entered.

Macul stood outside without entering and slowly floated around the golden door. They seem to praise me for finding the right answer.

There are many rare treasures here that reflect the style of the Zelcan royal times.

Many stone slabs were placed in one corner of the golden room. The size and shape of the stone slab was almost the same as that found from the lake.

"It's like a stone slab on the third floor."

Eunhan thought the same thing as me.

"Yes.The stone plates here are also clearer. ”

"Your Majesty has finally found what you want."

"It's too soon to celebrate."

I slowly decoded the stone slab, holding back the excitement and hope that had arisen within me.

– June 504, National Foundation Day was held, and all countries in the continent sent envoys to the Great Empire of Zelcan and Roum.

– July 504, Fifth Prince wins hunting contest.

It was Rakshul. Among the princes, he must have attracted attention in Zelcan because of his outstanding martial arts. Well, maybe that's why he led the revival movement.

– August 504, Ninth Empress gave birth to the Fifteenth Princess.

100 Houses lost to flooding.

"What is written?"

“Only important events are definitely engraved on the stone slab. The rest will be written on parchment, but special occasions will be written on stone slabs.”

"Then all the notes on the parchment must have been burned so this is the only thing left."

Upon closer examination, the records collected here are 500 years after the founding of the Zelcan Empire.

There might be other places like this. Since it was a stone slab, it was quite large, so perhaps a golden room was built to store a new stone slab back then.

But Zelcan was destroyed in 510. Maybe they didn't know they were going to disappear so quickly in history.

I read the stone quickly. The record was rather peaceful for a country that was about to collapse.

– October 505, Eleventh Empress gave birth to the Seventeenth Prince.

After that, the Emperor's records brought in a new Empress, the Empress gave birth, and the construction of the palace continued.

There was no hint of lifting the Goddess Curse.

– March 508, the Northern region suffered great damage due to monsters, so the Emperor ordered people to defeat monsters.

– May, 508, Fifth Prince exterminates evil monsters.

– June 508, Fifth Prince Rakshul was given the title of Crown Prince.

“It looks like Prince Rakshul is actually the Crown Prince.”

"Are you talking about the man who burned down Tenlarn Palace?"

"Yes. Head of the Zelcan revival movement. And not only was Tenlarn Palace, he burned all the books and Roum's language also became obsolete thanks to him. He also pollutes the land that is the Capital of Zelcan, making it completely uninhabitable.”

“He's a total villain. It must have been far more polluted a thousand years ago than it is now. Everyone inside might die except those who managed to make a cleansing spell.”

Although Phillip was the one who erected the stone slab, the evil deeds done by Rakshul never disappeared. It is said that he was eventually captured and executed by the Imperial Army. The end of his life was somewhat incomparable compared to the sins he had committed.

I'm heading for the next slab. As I read the note, my eyes opened wide when I saw the sentence.

– July 508, Crown Prince is engaged to Laontel Bellacian, daughter of Prince Bellacian.

Laontel Bellacian…?

Laontel Bellacian is a light wizard who destroyed Zelcan and founded the Asteri Empire with Phillip.

Laontel, the number one contributor in establishing the Asteris Empire, is engaged to the Crown Prince of the Zelcan Empire?

I want to find Laontel's records, but there are no records that mention the Crown Prince or the Crown Princess.

Instead, the other contents of the stone slab stood out.

– August 508, Eighth Empress contracted the disease.

Beginning with the death of the Eighth Empress, an era of darkness began in the Zelcan Empire.

– September 508, the Seventh Empress kept coughing, vomiting blood, and her skin darkened. It's the same disease as the Eighth Empress.

– In 508, the Eighth Prince contracted the disease.

– In 508, the Fourth Empress contracted the disease.

– In 508, the Eleventh Miss of the Empire contracted the disease.

– October 508, Emperor is held responsible for the outbreak.

However, before the next Emperor could receive any instructions from the current Emperor, he was already dead. The seventh Emperor's face became ugly, and his body was filled with black spots.

A disease in which the skin turns black and the bones of the body become brittle enough to break. This disease is called "Tancinol".

The symptoms of other members of the Imperial family are not recorded, but the fact that the seventh Emperor spread the plague indicates that everyone has the same disease.

The seventh emperor was considered a sinner who brought the plague and left it as a record without hesitation.

"What's wrong?"

Eunhan asked carefully.

"What's?But I think Tancinol happened after the Zelcan Empire collapsed.”

“That's what they say.But it must be Tancinol.”

I read the inscription on the stone slab. Countless emperors, princes, and princesses continued to lose their lives. Years changed, but the epidemic only worsened and even the New Year's party was not held.

– January 509, Empress died.

The seventh prince was affected by the disease.

The plague spread throughout the Knights causing disruption to the Empire's security.

The plague grew worse and spread to the royal family and the knights. More people are dying. The stone slabs became filled with news of death.

And after the death vortex, the year 510 approached, ushering in the gradual fall of the Zelcan Empire along with it.

I'm tired of reading obituary. And as soon as I moved to the next stone slab, I saw a shocking sentence, and took a breath.

– February 510, Crown Prince passed away.

Rakshal's dead?

"Your highness?"

Eunhan asked worriedly upon seeing my surprised expression.

"Rakshul is dead."

"Did he die? Before the Zelcan Empire collapsed?”

"Yes." Yeah."

“Then who led the Zelcan revival movement?Is someone disguised as the Crown Prince?”

“……”

As Eunhan said, it would be right to say that someone is disguised as the Imperial Crown Prince. But for some reason, I have a hunch that it didn't happen.

– February 510, the plague spread throughout the Capital, leaving corpses in every house in its wake.

– March 510, black spots appear on the Emperor's body. He was treated by a doctor, but nothing changed.

– In April, 510, the Emperor died.

The Crown Prince and Emperor were all dead. Phillip has not appeared on the pages of history.

Phillip and Laontel Bellacian are known to have destroyed the Zelcan Empire, which had been ravaged by the power of light, and founded the Asteric Empire as the entire nation cheered for them.

But the Zelcan Empire is already collapsing. Infectious diseases had spread throughout the Capital, and people did not have time to care about who the Emperor was.

I go to the next stone slab.

– May, 510, Phillip, the Emperor's blood relative, suddenly appears. When he blessed the people using the power bestowed on him by the Goddess of Light, the black spots disappeared and their fever dropped.

– June 510, Phillip is crowned Emperor, the plague disappears, and the entire nation submits to him.

Phillip finally showed up. However, it was completely different from the history books of the Astery Empire.

He did not destroy the Zelcan Empire and build a new Empire.
