The Place Where I Was Sold as a Slave Was the Imperial Palace

author’s words

There are a lot of people who talk about naming, so I left a post after thinking about it.

We apologize for any inconvenience you may have seen.

Names, family names, and country names appearing here are all taken from naming sites.

I’m using a few sites… Before I start, I make hundreds to thousands of country names, street names, mansion names, city names, male and female names for each country.

Even if you don’t use them, make them all at once.

(Except for ‘Dynasty Corea’, the name Decoquaria was also created by the naming site)

There are a lot of duplicates because the site makes them randomly, so there aren’t that many in reality, but I start by making them all in advance anyway.

The male and female names for each country are assigned in this way: Spanish name for country A, Russian name for country B, English name for country C, France for country D.

I’m not good at naming, so both men and women make up their names in advance on a naming site.

The main character country, Dicoquaria, uses a Spanish name.

I wondered if the naming site gave it wrong, so I searched on Wiki, and there are names like this (Eduardo, Ricardo) related to Spain.

I think the naming site was built similarly.

However, people around me said, “How is Watoringu? Is it weird?” I asked, and everyone said it was strange…

I chose the prettiest among the names because it’s the main character’s, but I guess my senses are strange.

For my next work, I will mainly use the names of countries that are a little familiar from other naming sites.

Thank you for your understanding even if it is inconvenient.

In my own way, I thought it would be better if I separated the names by country. The intention was good.

Thanks to everyone who reads and advises.

Even if I can’t fix or reflect the words you say right now, I always reflect them as much as possible in my next work.

thank you

If the premise is different, the process and result are also different. And how to respond.

If Rudy himself is not the heir to the duke, then the coat of arms on the ship is also a fake.

If the coat of arms of the successor is fake, the coat of arms of the dynasty of Corea could be the same.

If so, Rudy is just a reincarnated person, not the heir to the Duke or the Corea Dynasty. As long as you hide your mana well, there’s no need to hold your breath.

But it doesn’t get that simple. If everything was fake, the problem would be even more complicated.

The head of the guard might have known something since he was of ducal blood, but the nanny seemed to really believe it. If Rudy’s eyes aren’t rotten, she’s real.

He created a sentence on purpose and let him escape, and there is even a nanny who believes that he is the real successor.

What if it was all fake?

It doesn’t just end with ‘Oh, I guess I wasn’t real’.

‘sh*t! Who knows what it did to my body.’

Perhaps having magical powers itself is a curse or a trick.

Even the magic candy he ate when he escaped, if he wasn’t the heir, he probably wasn’t trying to hide the sentence. It may have been something harmful to the body.

Rudy doesn’t know what kind of face he was when he was hugged by the captain of the guard and his nanny. I only know that the enemy has black hair from the words he shouted.

Maybe from the beginning, he might have been what he is now. It may have been caused by her black hair, and she just returned to her original appearance by eating candy.

‘I’d rather be better than that.’

It is a world of magic. Maybe there are morgues. In the worst case, he may have put his soul into a dead body and brought it back to life…

‘I think I’m going to vomit.’

Perhaps because of the thought, I suddenly felt nauseous.

Rudy bent forward. forehead touches the ground I was still sick to my stomach. I did that for a while, but it didn’t get any better.

‘What if my body suddenly explodes or melts? If the fact that there is magic within the body itself is like a bomb…’

Maybe he was a human bomb to be sent to an enemy country like the Empire or the Kingdom of Chania.

I don’t know if there’s something like a curse attached to it like it spreads an infectious disease, and later I found out that the magic might actually have been my life force.

Until now, I thought it was simply because of the Corea Dynasty, so it had a lot of magical power.

However, if he wasn’t of such a bloodline, there was a good chance that he used some trick to change his life into magical power.

The more you use it, the less life it will eventually stop like a car with the engine off.

He dies alone in an unfamiliar place without knowing why he came here or what he was.

“…”

Princess Lilitha, who had been wandering around the entire mansion in pursuit of the monster Jerry, ran to him.

“roo!”

Princess Lilitha smiled brightly as she called out to him, then tilted her head.

“princess.”

If you spread a curse or explode like a bomb and hurt this sweet baby.

“Go over there, Princess.”

As he turned his head away and crouched down, Princess Lilitha jumped onto his back.

“roo! roo!”

Will it comfort you? He clung to his back and hugged her neck tightly.

“heavy.”

It sounded a bit snoring.

Princess Lilitha struggled to climb up Lulu’s back and stick her face out with her shoulder.

“roo!”

“…”

You can just stand on the floor and watch it, it’s stupid.

‘I am a fool. He’s not even worth his age and he’s sobbing in fear.’

After calming down a bit, I felt ashamed.

Suddenly, when I looked up, I saw sparks coming from the wall.

The firebird seems to be worried about him.

Mouse Jerry seems to be hiding somewhere. Didn’t see.

‘are you okay.’

While muttering to the fire bird inside, I got up.

Princess Lilitha slipped sideways and came in front of Rudy and hugged her.

It’s not unusual to have no memory of being two years old when you’re an adult. Rudy also doesn’t have many memories of being young when he lived on Earth.

But it’s strange that I don’t have any memories of the past when I’m young like now.

Moreover, although he has a young body, he has the spirit of an adult.

Still, the lack of memory until the age of two would mean that something artificial was added to it.

‘If it wasn’t for that, you wouldn’t think I’d be a fake.’

Oh, I hate lingering.

Rudy took a deep breath.

said the princess, pointing to a corner with her finger.

“roo! Steamed! Steam!”

Is it called squeezing? He seems to want to say that he saw a mouse.

From inside the fireplace, half-transparent Jerry was looking this way. As if making a squeaking noise, he purses his mouth and pricks his beard. Jerry seems a little worried too.

Rudy took Princess Lilitha’s hand.

Okay. I still don’t know what’s real or what happened. There is a possibility that this one is fake.

‘In a way, that’s more likely.’

Except for the lack of memory, everything was saying that Rudy was real.

“…”

If Rudy is real and the other side is fake, what is the purpose of the guy who made it up?

‘Ah, but the successor must be a child.’

It would be really sad if the child was used.

Rudy was led toward the fireplace by the princess who was tugging at him. It seems the princess wants to show Jerry.

“Go a little slower, Princess.”

Rudi said, and Princess Lilitha grabbed his hand more quickly.

I really can’t talk to children. This side is really serious, I’m going to die, but I’m going to go to the middle of the day.

I laughed a little involuntarily.

* * *

The sound of footsteps echoes the ground.

Some of the imperial soldiers who were in Dicoquaria return home this time with the mission of escorting the successor to the Duke of Watoringu.

Asran was one of them.

I had to go around a long distance from Dicoquaria to another country for that job, but honestly, I’m relieved.

From nob le mt l dot com

Dicoquaria was a bad place.

No, it wasn’t Dicoquaria, it was the Duchy of Watoringu.

It wasn’t for any particular reason.

From nob le mt l dot com

Due to the long war, the appearance and buildings of the people of Dicoquaria were shabby, but such places are everywhere.

On the contrary, the Duchy of Watoringu seemed to be doing well compared to the long war.

According to the stories of some people, the Duke of Watoringu has always been a good place to live.

Even though the country was in trouble, the number of people who lived in that territory was starving to death rather less than in a country without war.

Everyone said that the ducal family was saving the lives of the people by reducing taxes and providing various benefits.

I heard so.

“Kaak, tweok!”

Aslan spat his phlegm on the floor and grabbed his things.

When walking around the battlefield, you must carry all your belongings by yourself.

From water buckets, spears, and axes, to food, wooden utensils, and common pots, the number of items grew endless.

High-ranking people take care of everything on their own, but commoners like Asran, who were dragged in after farming, carry everything on their back and walk as they are told to do, and carry and go as they are told to do.

At first glance, it is said that the place where the heir of the Duke of Watoring was captured is a small country near Dicoquaria.

They say they’re almost there, but they saw a crow.

I felt dirty.

‘sh*t.’

There were also many crows in the Duchy of Watoringu in Dicoquaria.

‘It’s just because there are a lot of corpses.’

When you go to war, corpses come out.

The dark red blood and flesh left after the head fell off the execution site, the corpses of a man and a woman abandoned in the field. The white bodies of children abandoned like objects here and there.

He also stabbed and killed him with his own hands.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but everyone does it on the battlefield. It wasn’t anything to feel guilty about, and it wasn’t anything terrible.

‘but···.’

Aslan packed all his things and got up from his seat. Colleagues were already forming ranks as ordered by their superiors.

As he walked towards his comrades, he saw a soldier whose face was similar to his own.

‘Is that guy still stuck with that scene in his head?’

The Duchy of Watoringu was quiet.

It was too quiet.

There are so many crows, but they don’t cry.

They just watched the soldiers with round, dark eyes.

When a woman in the Duchy of Watoringu is laid on the ground and raped, when a knife is thrust into a child’s mouth, when a man tramples on a woman and child while a man is watching, the crow just watches.

It is clear that they are gathering because of the corpse, but they did not eat any rotten flesh.

I feel bad.

It made me feel really bad as if something was sticking to me and not coming off.

Suddenly, my grandmother’s words came to mind.

[The crow is a horse, an errand boy for witches. Sometimes when I go there, there’s a guy who looks at people strangely. You keep looking at only one person. He is the witch’s errand boy. When we meet, don’t look back and run away.]

sh*t.

Spit out phlegm and walk on the road again.

It wasn’t long until the place where the successor of the Duke of Watoring was located.

Another crow flew nearby and looked at the soldiers.

I sit quietly on a branch and watch.

[Caw! Caw!]

“omg!”

I was startled by the sudden cry of a crow, and a nearby soldier giggled.

“You fool! First time seeing a crow.”

“Damn it, get out of the way!”

Aslan pushed the soldier away and walked.

Even the soldier who laughed at him had nervous wrinkles on his forehead. As if he hadn’t slept well, his eyes were dark.

‘He’s afraid of crows too.’

The crow didn’t do anything.

so no one can say

I know something is strange, but there is no way to explain it.

He kept his mouth shut because he couldn’t say he was afraid of crows, but fear slowly spread among the soldiers.

* * *

“Come in now.”

As the fire bird’s body trembled in the darkness, small sparks spread like snowflakes in all directions.

He fluttered his wings lightly, thrusting his body out into the air, and immediately wrapped himself around Rudy’s arm.

Moments later, the fire bird’s body was sucked into Rudy’s arms as if it were melting.

Thrust, the whole arm went numb.

‘hmm···.’

A small moan escaped Rudy’s mouth.

It’s not sick.

Compared to the first time when my whole body was numb as if I had been electrocuted, I am much better now.

But it was still tingly.

‘As expected, the power of the Phoenix is too strong.’

Unlike when you just pass through, when the phoenix stays in your body, you feel like you are holding a discharged battery.

If Jerry, the mouse, was not like this, it must be because the phoenix’s body is large or its innate nature is sacred.

A crackling white light flashed across his arm, and electricity was generated.

‘I don’t know if it’s a bit difficult to put the phoenix into the body.’

The numbness in the body is also a problem, but it is too noticeable.

When Jerry was put into his body, electricity would sometimes rise from his fingertips, but he couldn’t hide the phoenix at all.

‘I wonder if it will change if I get used to it or come up with some method.’

When Rudy sighed, a small spark crackled on the surface of his arm.

The firebird is saying sorry.

Emotions were conveyed a little more directly, perhaps because they were inside the body.

‘are you okay. It’s because your power is strong, so it’s rather good.’

I wondered what to do if mana was life force, so I started putting Phoenix and Jerry into my body, but it turned out to be a surprisingly good discovery.

When I put a demon creature into my body, I felt as if I had become one with the demon creature.

Rudy can move like his own body because emotions are transmitted directly without having to give a separate command.

For example like this.

Rudy lightly brushed his hands.

A crackling electricity rose from the fingertips and meandered forward.

I turned my hand over and pulled it slightly, and the electricity that cut through the air immediately disappeared.

Just by having the phoenix on her arm, she was able to control the electricity freely.

Rudy quietly looked at his palm.

At the fingertips, a small amount of electricity is generated continuously and continuously.

It is as if the firebird is asking.

[What are we going to do next, Master? Please give me an order.]

Although he is currently training only electricity, he can create fire and water.

“Enough now.”

When Rudy said, the fire bird slipped out of his arm and flapped his wings.

Now it’s Jerry’s turn.

A small mouse scrambled across the desk and jumped onto Rudy’s palm.

Seeing the little mouse’s body being swallowed into the palm of his hand, Rudy involuntarily let out a small sigh.

‘I can do something like this.’

Treatment of the disease is not easy.

Magic is not omnipotent.

It can be detoxified, but nothing happened if I just wrote it as a cure. Words that are too broad don’t seem to work.

I also wrote down ‘Heart disease treatment’ just in case, but it didn’t work.

I thought maybe there might be other conditions.

‘I wish I could find a way before the nanny’s illness gets worse…’

If you are under some strange spell. At least I want to give something good to the people around me.

I don’t want to be the one who makes you suffer or die.

After letting out a small sigh, the firebird tilted its head and lightly placed its beak on Rudy’s body.

It seems to comfort me.

“thank you.”

Rudy says, and Jerry the mouse pops his head out of the palm of his hand and pricks his nose.

“Are you comforting me too? thank you.”

Jerry’s tail poked out between his fingers and swayed.
