Episode 11
"Why are you so excited, brother?”
"You don't look so excited! I've heard of a monster in a public prison.
He's the one who refused to swear allegiance to his father. That's why he couldn't join the Imperial Guard and ended up in prison. You're going to imprint on a monster who failed to bring even his father to heel? Is that fair, isn't it?"
"Oh, brother, you're speaking profanity. I can't believe your father failed. To put it bluntly, there must be something wrong with the homunculus, which is not easily subjugated to his father."
Eve finished and turned her head purple towards Desmond II.
As expected, Desmond II's expression seemed to chew bitter grass because of Rubens' bad luck.
"Well, that's right! I made a slip of the tongue. I'm sorry, Abamama."
Desmond II succeeded in silencing Rubens with authority. The table is calm again.
"Yves, are you really going to imprint that public prison monster?"
"Yes, my father."
"As Rubens said, the monster is a dangerous man who didn't even swear allegiance to Jim."
The "loyalty oath ceremony" is conducted by the emperor himself as a brainwashing work that makes Homunclus loyal to the imperial family and never harms them.
Only after this ceremony, which was carried out in the same form as baptism, did Homunculus finally come out of the training center and see the light of the world.
If Michael had been an ordinary homunclus, he would have been treated as a
"failure" and removed at a time when his loyalty oath was broken.
But killing Michael was put on hold because he was so capable.
Until then, Desmond II would have thought he would soon succeed in bringing Michael to heel if he tried the ceremony again.
I'm afraid Michael didn't go too far as Desmond II meant.
Desmond II, who was furious, did not immediately kill Michael on the spot, but put him in a public prison known for his atrocities.
And I forgot it in my head as time went by.
It was the third year this year that Michael was able to survive thanks to the power of oblivion.
In his last life, Michael was locked up for another two years, and when he was 21, he was able to take an oath and come out into the world. Maybe it was after awakening the ability to nullify obedience and imprinting He must have completely controlled his abilities and deceived his father.’
Michael's existence became ambiguous after three years of neglect without a ceremony of oath of allegiance.
Since brainwashing still doesn't work, it should be disposed of, but now it's too late to treat it as a failure and remove it.
Michael itself became a blot on the emperor's authority.
And Eve was right now referring to the Emperor's stain.
'You have to be careful.In terms of alchemy and magical difficulty,
"loyalty oath consciousness" was a lower level of work than "imprinting".
There was a possibility that the emperor's attempt to imprint Homunculus, which the emperor could not even obey, could be considered a challenge to the imperial power.
If it goes wrong, Desmond II may order Michael to be killed immediately in order to assert authority.
Eve carefully chose every word in her head to put it in her mouth.
Now is the time to draw on the potential as well as the ability to use sweet talk to the fullest.
"Madamma, does Homunculus have to receive the rituals of the Abama to see the light of the world? So I think it's a pity that there's a homunculus who can't take it properly, even though the oath of allegiance to them is like a baptism of blessing from the Father."
"Well, yeah. If you don't swear allegiance, you lose yourself. That reprehensible monster...How dare you refuse Jim's hand-down blessing?”
Desmond II grated his teeth.
It was difficult. Eve quickly turned around before he got excited.
"Come to think of it, I doubt he really rejected it. The power of the wise man's stone master, his father, is immense. You're a father who can imprint the entire SS, and it's not going to work if a homunclus refuses.
"It's normal to have a homunculus fall on your father's feet earlier."
"Yes, it is."
"But I've been thinking about why obedience doesn't work. I'm guessing there's something wrong with the mana circuit in Homunculus. I want to solve this problem and appoint the homunculus as my direct article."
"Hmmm
Desmond II looked troubled. At this time, we had to push harder.
"So far, the public prison monster has been neglected as an exception, neither a failure nor a success? He's a thorn in the palm of his hand in the imperial family. It's time to pull out that thorn. I'll try to solve the problem with the talent I inherited from my father.
Please take it easy, Dad."
Eve rose from her seat again.
I bent my knees and waist slightly and felt my lips burning while I was waiting.
A moment later Desmond II's voice rang in his ears.
"All right, Eve."
Eve looked up and looked at Desmond II. His expression was softened.
"Yves, you are both an empress and an alchemist. Is it an object that ignites the spirit of challenge? Well, that's not bad. Do as you please."
"Thank you, Dad. I thought Abama, the king of the great alchemist, would understand me."
It was time for Eve to hide her joy.
Desmond II's words were not finished. He added sternly.
"Instead, there's a condition, Eve."
"What?"
"You must imprint on the monster of public prison as Jim's agent and imperial daughter. If you fail to imprint, take responsibility and remove him."
"……I'll do as I please, Abamama."
The conditions were expected anyway. Eve accepted.
After confirming that morning visiting hours were over, Eve grabbed the hem of the dress and graciously arranged.
"Let me first stand up to follow the imperial tradition and establish the authority of His Majesty. Have a peaceful day, Abamama, sisters, brothers, Rosie."
It is time to declare full participation in the succession of the throne.
