At that moment, Cesare's standing body shook.
"Whoa, uh, over there...!"
Angelique's scream broke out.
Everyone's eyes turned to Cesare.
He was still standing.
However, the skin that had burst out along the sternum was spreading like a red and scorched scar.
Cesare slowly lowered his head.
A hot stream of crimson light flowed through his flesh like a snake.
It was an unfamiliar force that forced him not to touch the oracle.
Cesare brushed his chin slightly.
Hia golden eyes still didn't waver.
"There's no way I'll accept it if you try to block it with this kind of power."
The moment when they couldn't even breathe at the shocking sight.
Kwasik-!
His sword slammed into the tabletop.
At the same time, a red light surged up and exploded.
"Aa! Avoid!"
The hall quickly became a mess.
As a ray of dark red light swirled over it. Cesare's aura stood up against the forces that were trying to subdue him.
The black aura and the red beam of light fought fiercely.
The messenger of the Holy Kingdom opened his mouth.
'Is he, is he trying to fight against God now?'
I'm crazy. I'm so crazy, I'm completely out of it.
It was not possible in the first place.
How much did you pay for this god?
Humans can't even stand against that power. That's why he was able to stand up against the First Prince.
The messenger couldn't believe it, even though he was watching.
'If this happens... our plan!'
At that moment, a violent whirlpool enveloped the hall.
The sound of the air tearing and fragments of heat.
The intertwined black and red light looked ominous at the same time as it was unbelievable.
No one could approach the aftermath of the outbreak.
"Cesare!"
Only Medea rushed into the whirlpool without hesitation.
"Don't come!"
Cesare's rough voice echoed through the whirlpool.
Wow!
Finally, the light subsided.
Where the vortex had disappeared, they could see a streak of red light binding his black aura and him like chains.
Flutter. The beam of light that knelt down on the floor quickly disappeared.
His body was in disrepair.
As if someone had struck him with a whip, red marks were clear on his bronzed, muscular limbs.
Medea ran over. Her green eyes shook greatly
"This is..."
"Oh, it's okay."
Making eye contact with the sparkling green eyes, Cesare shook his head.
However, the corners of his mouth were trembling slightly, and the twitching of his arms.
Medea could guess the intensity of the intense pain he was feeling now.
"Don't shake, don't sway, do as you planned."
He whispered in a low voice. It was a faint voice that only Medea could hear.
In the eyes of others, it only looked like the body of the First Prince collapsed into his wife's arms.
Cesare inadvertently tightened Medea's hand, and then consciously released it for fear that she might hurt.
"Cesare-"
"Plan, do as you wish, worry-"
He barely left a word and lost consciousness.
***
Imperial Palace.
The atmosphere in the palace, which was bright and lively, was cold and breathtaking, as if it had returned to three years ago.
This was because the owner of the palace, the First Prince, was still unable to come to his senses.
The High Priest shook his head.
"No cure."
"What if you, the High Priest, say that?"
The Marquis of Leniards burst into anger.
"I don't know what kind of condensed it is, but it's not a disease. I can't do it with my own power. Holy power... It's the same."
The high priest of Katzen confirmed that the words of sincerity were true.
"The holy power is correct. It is the omniscient power of the goddess that surrounds His Highness's body... I can feel it too. But it is so powerful that my holy power cannot reach it."
The high priest summoned all the priests in Katzen to the palace and gathered their holy power.
However, even so, he could not break the sacred barrier that was placed on the First Prince.
The high priest shook his head as he wiped away his sweat. He couldn't understand.
Has the Holy Power ever pressed someone down so fiercely?
"Terrence, is it possible that it is a dark curse like last time?"
Terence shook his head at Medea's question.
"There is no trace of witchcraft, nor the remnants of the primordial darkness. It's so neat. It's bizarre."
"Aah."
The Marquis of Leniard groaned in despair.
The First Prince's faction seemed to repeat the nightmare of three years ago.
Now, at this point in time, the coronation ceremony is just around the corner!
Day by day.
Cesare was still on the brink of death.
The heat that boiled all over his body did not cool down, and sometimes he lost consciousness and had seizures, and vomited blood.
Medea never left his side for a moment.
She led her pregnant body and held the end of the cold sheet tightly to protect him.
"Your Highness, please... You need to take care of your body..."
Her subordinates pleaded with tears, but they could not break her will.
"Look! It's a goddess!"
When he heard that the First Prince was still going back and forth between life and death, the messenger of the Holy Kingdom shouted loudly.
"Since the son of Katzen dares to disobey the goddess's command, is it the goddess herself who punishes him! Whoever disobeys the goddess's words will be punished severely!"
Even those who thought it was ridiculous at first gradually came to understand that it was the priests who put the First Prince into a coma.
The story spread like the wind through the mouths of luxury people.
"Hey, did you hear the rumors? A new oracle has come down?"
"Is the goddess insane? What are you doing by tearing up a couple who are living a good life?"
People shook their heads, saying it was nonsense, but soon different opinions were mixed.
"No, no matter what, you have to save people first. It's a goddess!"
"Will you entrust the survival of this country to the 4th Princess of the Heavenly Palace and the 3rd Prince, who were wrapped in the width of the dress of the Western Empress?"
"If His Highness the 1st Prince does not wake up like this, our empire will be over!"
Although some people were worried about the seriousness of the situation, the heat gradually shifted in a different direction.
"It's not like this, let's go to the palace now. Let's ask the First Princess!"
"But that's a bit like that. Did His Highness the Prince and Her Highness the First Princess do anything wrong? Isn't the goddess losing her mind?"
"So, if you refuse the oracle like this, you're going to see our Katzen burned by the goddess? Don't you have any patriotism?"
The man urged the people who hesitated with unwilling faces.
The men on both sides of him exchanged glances for a while.
"That's right! What a symbol of good luck it is that you framed a real Saintess! Come on! Let's see if we all go and the 1st Princess won't be bothered!"
In the end, all the people of the empire who had gathered and shouted rushed out.
Meanwhile, the two men pulled out and disappeared without a trace in the crowd.
The 1st Prince faction did not budge.
Among the crowd that gathered in front of the palace, some of the vanguard who had been pouring Insults and filth at the 1st Princess were quickly overpowered.
The sight of them being dragged away with broken arms was horror itself
"No, that's right... I guess I'm crazy for a moment, dare to touch the Black Devil's house."
"Before anything happens to the 1st Prince, my throat will run away first. Join in! Hurry back!"
The ruthless oppression that did not show any regard for the situation reminded them of the notoriety of the 1st Prince faction, which they had forgotten.
The 1st Prince's palace calmed public opinion with force.
Who said that a knife can't beat a pen?
When the instigators were captured or returned wounded, the flames of anger that were about to burn were soon extinguished.
After that, the 1st Prince's faction locked the palace gate.
And while cutting off all contact with the outside world, they showed an attitude of rejecting the oracle head-on.
"The master who rejects the goddess's words, the servants who steadfastly uphold the will even if the master faints, and the 1st Prince's faction must have gathered only those who are really strong as steel!"
People felt both fear and admiration for their solidarity.
However, the Internal situation beyond the tall white fence was a little different from the solid exterior.
