Chapter: 850

To Elder Cheong-su, who was facing a dilemma, Chun Yeowun looked like his savior.

Thanks to that, the emperor’s hardened face turned to Chun Yeowun.

‘What will it be?’

Elder Cheong-su looked at Chun Yeowun, who didn’t seem to fear anything.

If he had committed to the emperor’s words, he would have missed a good chance to rise in Yulin and would have found himself in an embarrassing situation.

‘Did he intervene because of the alliance we have with him?’

Elder Cheong-su’s eyes fluttered.

Even if there was an alliance, Yulin and the Demonic Cult were bound to return back to hostile relations once their goal was achieved. Yet, even in front of the emperor, he was helping a member of the Forces of Justice.

‘Oh, god. Heavenly god.’

Elder Cheong-su couldn’t help but admire Chun Yeowun.

To help a person, who would be of no use to him in any situation, meant that Chun Yeowun sincerely respected the alliance.

‘So this is the current Lord of the Demonic Cult? I thought he was just reckless, but he has courage, tolerance and the qualities of a true warrior.’

In the beginning, Elder Cheong-su had only thought of him as a dangerous man.

However, the way he looked at Yeowun had changed.

Actually, he had misunderstood something.

‘You must be out of your mind to try and take the Forces of Justice under the control of the Imperial Palace.’

Chun Yeowun’s intervention wasn’t to help the Forces of Justice.

Looking at the bewildered expression on Elder Cheong-su’s face, he knew that he would sooner or later make a decision favourable to the Imperial Palace.

However, if Cheong-su, a man from the Forces of Justice swore allegiance to the Imperial family, then they would fall under its control.

The people of the Forces of Justice would reprimand this Elder for a long time because of his decision, but even so they wouldn’t be able to undo what had already been agreed upon.

If that happened, the Emperor would surely try to take the Yulin under his governance.

“Hmmm,”

The Emperor’s eyes held a look of regret.

If Chun Yeowun hadn’t been involved, the Emperor would have naturally brought the forces of justice under him, but he had failed.

‘I didn’t think he would have political or diplomatic skills yet, but he is already pretty good.’

The envoy from Yulin, was currently there as a representative of the Forces of Justice.

The Emperor could have gotten what he wanted from that person himself, such a pity.

However, it wasn’t like this was the last opportunity.

“Yes. Because your cult had been instrumental at the time of hounding, the first emperor had signed the non-aggression treaty out of goodwill and gave you freedom. When a favor continues, it gets mistaken for a privilege. Trusting the non-aggression between Wulin and the Empire only disturbed the peace in the Imperial Palace, shouldn’t you then pay the price?”

He spoke for so long giving out sensible reasons, but there was only one conclusion.
