When the plague killed the Emperor, the Crown Prince, and all the other members of the royal family, he himself rose up. He became Emperor because he treated the plague with the power of light he received from the Goddess.
The founding myths of the Asteris Empire and Phillip's heroism are all lies. Did the Goddess of Light bring me here to tell me this?
Even after Philip ascended the throne, the record continued.
He was not the Emperor who established the new Empire. He inherited the throne as the son of Emperor Zelcan.
It is not known whether he was the true son of the Emperor or whether he was disguised as him, but he was not an official prince recorded in history.
– July 510, the Emperor changed the name of the country to 'Asteric' according to the orders of the Goddess. In addition, the Palace was renamed Tenlarn, leaving the name Altar, which was tarnished by the unpleasant aura of the plague.
The renaming of the country and the Imperial Palace was only to quell the atmosphere that had been ravaged by the plague.
The image of Phillip as the first founding hero and king who destroyed the decaying Imperial family for the people and established a new state, is nowhere to be found.
Eunhan agrees with my words.
"But it's suspicious that it's all a lie from beginning to end."
I keep rereading that stone slab. The days passed peacefully with Phillip treating the plague and there were songs and statues made to praise him.
There was no mention of the Zelcan revival movement or the Roums protest. The Zelcan Empire was not destroyed, but simply renamed, so the revival movement itself was absurd.
I went to the last stone slab. It was probably the last stone erected before the fire.
– October 513, the Emperor appoints Laontel Bellacian, chosen by the Goddess of Light, as Empress.
In the end, the name Laontel Bellacian appeared again.
Phillip Married Laontel Bellacian, Prince Rakshul's Fiancee? So he betrayed the Goddess of Light because of him, so that led to the beginning of the curse?
Phillip betrays the Goddess and chooses another woman, but there is no record of her.
Emperor Phillip had three sons. One of them becomes the next Emperor, and his youngest son is cursed.
But there is little note about this woman. I don't even know who the Empress is. Some even argue that she never had an Empress in her entire life.
But the stone slab says it's Laontel Bellacian?
When Phillip betrays the Goddess of Light, Laontel Bellacian is greeted as Empress, and a fire breaks out at Tenlarn Palace. The lands of the Imperial Palace and the Capital were also contaminated, and in the end, it was necessary to make a transition.
Phillip prepared a large stone slab as a record of Rakshul's actions.
But there was no Zelcan revival movement, and Prince Rakshul, who was declared the 'Prince of Tragedy' was a dead man.
Even after the fall of the Zelcan Empire, the Roum did not contemplate their own faults and continued to commit many sins, so the Goddess of Light was angry and cursed them with a disease called "Tancinol". In fact, the disease has already spread.
The historical record and what actually happened are different.
I look around. This is the last stone. No other records of the data are visible. There was a luxurious treasure, but it seemed to have nothing to do with the curse.
Yet…
'That's it?'
It is interesting that the true record of truth and history has been recorded very clearly, but I did not come all the way to Tenlarn Palace to study history.
Besides, I knew from the beginning that Phillip was a bad guy. Perhaps he had done something far more suspicious and worse than it was written.
I'm here to lift Blake's curse. However, none of these stone slabs can help me do that.
Why do past memories come up? Why did Macul bring me here?
I looked out the door. But Macul is gone. Where the hell did they go?
I went outside the door to where Macul was, and at that moment, the necklace broke off. Mana the light stone broke because it failed to withstand the power of dark magic.
Eunhan hurriedly handed her the mana stone bracelet from the light she was wearing.
"Your Majesty, take it."
"Eunhan, no."
"I'll be fine. It's just a minute. Please wear that at least until we return to the Imperial Palace. ”
We will return to the Imperial Palace anyway, so I must not continue to be stubborn either. Macul is missing, and no more scenes from the past are revealed. No more information to find out here.
"Your Majesty, close your eyes."
I followed his words, and a damp mist swirled around my entire body before becoming light as we soared into the sky.
***
When I opened my eyes, I saw the stone slab I knew in front of me. We have returned to the secret room on the third floor of the Philion Palace.
“Ancia!”
"Dad…"
As soon as I saw Tenstheon's worried expression, my head naturally bowed low.
"I'm sorry."
"What's going on? What the hell is going on with you?"
“...the necklace you gave me broke.”
Tenstheon hugged me with a smile.
"Why?Are you hurt?"
"No. Eunhan. He gave me his bracelet.but…"
When I was hugged by the big Tenstheon, I really felt like a child.
As I felt a warm pat on my back, the disappointment, sense of futility, and guilt I felt in Tenlarn Palace all exploded at once.
"I'm sorry, I can't find any leads. ”
“It's okay. Nothing to regret.”
“I was very stubborn to go there ..”
Tenstheon hugged me tightly as I cried.
"I'm sorry. I must have been pressing you too much. No cry. There's nothing to cry about. Its alright. It's okay Ancia.”
The past a thousand years ago lay before me when Macul guided me. When I walked into the room, I thought I could finally find a way to dispel Blake's curse. But in the end, I found nothing.
My expectations were too high, so his disappointment was also great. Tenstheon is fine with that, but I feel very emotional.
Blake and Tenstheon were people who were having a hard time at the moment. I wasn't. I tried to stop crying, but I couldn't.
Then, the door of the secret room opened.
“Your Majesty!”
Collin shouted, as he rushed in. Collin's normally expressionless face was now deathly pale. Tenstheon's expression also hardened.
"What's going on?"
"His Highness the Crown Prince is unconscious!"
***
Blake remained unconscious for three days.
"Your Majesty, don't worry."
Melissa and Hans had served her for a long time, so they were rather calm, because it used to happen a lot before I got here.
Blake once said that this was his inevitable destiny because he was the heir to the curse and it was a miracle that the curse had not spread in three years.
They comforted me by saying that they expected Blake to have fainted recently as her low-grade fever continued.
But I can't take it calmly.
Of course, they also just pretended to be calm outside to convince me. To be honest, they were panicking too.
