Regressor Instruction Manual

Chapter 288: Half-baked Revolution (3)

“They’re not scrambling to rebel like I had first thought.”

“They don’t know how to rebel. They are scared and angry, but they might not know how to burst what’s inside.”

“I understand, but you must be a little disappointed.”

“It can’t be helped. I’m not that disappointed either. I expected this to some extent. Even if they were on board with other forces, can those who have been bred all this time come out of the fence with their will? Probably, when the flare goes off, they will all come out running. Look at the faces of those here right now. I bet, they’ll wail, ‘let’s fight together.’ By just saying that everything will be over.”

“The process of putting ideas in their head was a little hurried. Well, I know, too. I just said that out of disappointment. So? Shall we blow it now?”

I had to wonder about it for a bit. They didn’t express it, but all the imperial people’s anger was now on the verge of explosion.

In fact, Charlia’s famous lines were enough, but as it was a scene that decorated a page of history, a little cool direction was needed.

For example, the sublime sacrifice of democratic fighters should come out.

It was one of the things I had been planning, but Oscar’s brand value was quite great to use as a flare.

“Hang on. She hasn’t finished her speech, anyway.”

In fact, it was Charlotte that I had been waiting for.

The timing was certainly not bad. It was a very good time to take care of the people and march together.

However, seeing that they hadn’t revealed themselves, it seemed that there had indeed been some internal problem.

The awakened nobles who agreed with Charlotte’s opinion would still be with her, but they must have thought, ‘can we keep our power?’ after watching this video.

Even within her camp, some nobles appeared in the video, so she would be doing her all to calm them down by now.

The degree of friction between those who thought they could not fix the imperialists’ anger and those who thought they had to do what they had to do could be predicted even without an eye to bat in the future.

‘As much as I moved in a hurry.’

She also moved in a hurry. They both had side effects.

It was when I slightly nodded towards Lee Jihye.

“The traitor’s sugar-coated words should not deceive all imperial people, but keep their place!”

The amplified voice protruded from the royal castle.

I waved my hand to withdraw the plan, and Lee Jihye also sent a sign saying that she knew.

‘Good.’

This low tide was not bad, either.

I thought Charlotte would respond first, but the first one that opened the mouth to the imperial people was the royal family’s representative.

I thought it would be better for the Emperor to come out at the same time, but there was no way a scared old man could go to such a place.

The old man that can die at any moment would be looking for Charlotte or me by now.

With a loud voice, the knights popped out from the inside for an unforeseen armament, and it seemed that the wizards were somehow looking for a way to stop the magic hologram.

The archers all shooting arrows at the magic hologram was a spectacle. The urgency in their movements revealed the crisis they were experiencing now.

They already know that something big would come out if they failed to calm down the imperial people.

‘They’re not that incompetent.’

However, no plan of theirs could effectively cover this up.

A forced arrest had already taken place, and screams were now starting to erupt from all over the capital.

How was the behavioral pattern of those in power who felt a crisis o different from the Earth or here?

Laughter came out of me, almost without my knowledge.

“I’ll say it again. Don’t be fooled by the rebels, all the people of the imperial stand! Everything is false and manipulated by magic. Imperial people, what you are seeing is not the blessing of Goddess Benigore, but the whispers of the devil. Oscar is an imperial traitor! The same is true of all who share her will with and who follow her. It is an evil that moths the holy Empire!”

‘I better start responding.’

Before sending a signal to Oscar, Alice began to respond in an angry tone of voice, so unlike the gentle maid I had come to know.

-Aren’t you the ones who moths the country?! Dirty imperial families, it was you who were dragging this Empire below the water. Look above the sky. What you have done is known by the imperial people who died of evil deeds, and the Goddess herself knows.

“How dare you speak about the Goddess with that dirty mouth? You traitor!”

-The traitors are you. You are against the Goddess’s will that considers all humans to be equal under the Goddess! You are the traitors who divide the class and create discrimination between the lowly and the noble blood. Remember, since they’ve been an imperial family. Check with your own eyes what those with noble blood have done.

Contrary to my worries that she might become speechless, Oscar was stubborn, and she said what she had wanted to say.

Lee Jihye turned to me. “That’s not a script, right? Oppa?”

“Yes. It isn’t. It’s probably from her own thoughts.”

“She’s worth it. She’s even better than Charlia.”

I was just thinking the same thing.

I didn’t think she would be embarrassed, but Oscar took the lead and denied the imperial power head-on.

-You are not the reason that there is an Empire. The existence of imperial people is needed in order to have an Empire.

“There is an empire only when there an Emperor. You traitor! Look at you now. Look at you agitating without showing your true face. Imperial people, Oscar is a demon who tries to put you in danger. That person a wicked witch who’s wrapped in good words but pushes your back on the cliff. Anyone will do. Whoever catches that witch, regardless of the reason or your status, I will give a title and prize money. She is a witch to be executed. She must be executed!”

-I am not hiding. The Goddess is rebelling!

Maid Alice, looking straight at Jung Hayan, who was sending the video, turned her back instantly. She then walked away, out of sight from the hologram.

‘Huh?’

It felt a little disconcerting, but her execution wasn’t that bad. It would at least create quite the impression on the imperial people.

I quickly started to beckon to Jung Hayan.

Since it was time for Oscar to appear in the world, it wouldn’t be bad to let all the imperial people check where she was.

“Honorary Bishop.”

“You can do whatever you want, Oscar-nim.”

“Okay.”

To set the mood, she picked up a randomly hanging flag.

Holding a flag with the logo of the Sacred Democracy, which had now become a symbol, Oscar showed herself to the imperial people.

The clock tower at the top overlooked the imperial capital.

The figure of Maid Alice standing there holding a flag was enough to decorate a page of history.

The imperial people who had been watching, all turned their heads to the clock tower.

Everything felt so dramatic that I wanted to scream in joy.

‘Perfect.’

With this kind of production, I didn’t even need to use a scapegoat as a signal.

“I am not hiding.”

-I am not hiding.

The mirror of the Goddess reflected her words right from the top of the clock tower.

Certainty abounded in the faces of those who thought that what was seen would be illusion magic.

The soldiers rushed into the clock tower in no time, and the soldiers that had been waiting for this blocked them. A loud sound popped out from all over the place, and the prepared flames soared one by one.

Although magic and arrows poured out, it was natural that they were blocked by the defense magic we had prepared in advance.

It was scary, but the democratic fighter continuing to speak out in the meantime showed more than what I was picturing.

-I am not hiding, Rebels of the Goddess. I am not pushing the backs of the imperial people here. I will stand before them first. Where is the Emperor?! Say you who accused me of hiding. In this situation, where and what is the Emperor doing?!

‘She has awakened!’

I could bet that this was indeed the brightest time in Alice’s life.

-Where is the Princess who adorned herself with the blood and sweat shed by the imperial people? Where and what are they doing now, who harbor the divine blood you propagated? I don’t want to hear your voice. Imperial dogs. I want to hear the voices of those who created this wrong system, drinking sweet liquors behind it!

“T-This is Charlotte, the Second Princess of the Empire! Your aspirations will come true!”

Another voice I finally hear.

The appearance of her screaming without voice amplification was a spectacle.

I wanted to associate myself with her, but the train had already gone. I didn’t want to spoil the historical landmark that was already happening here.

“Hayan, turn up the volume on our side and block all the voice amplification magic going to Charlotte. Cheon Gwan-wi, please, also help her.”

“Yes! Yes! Oppa.”

No one was interested in Charlotte’s voice, which was soon drowned sounds.

Since the fires were rising all over her, I saw several knights pushing her back inward.

The Second Princess, who loved the imperial people more than anyone else, was throwing them away, telling them not to do this, but how could her loyal servants leave her in this dangerous situation?

They knew best that things had already gone wrong.

Instead of her voice, what resounded within the capital was the soft voice of our energized Oscar-nim.

-Imperial people! They are hiding behind the castle for fear of getting hurt. These are the real faces of the powerful dogs who so far despised us as lowly blood and believed that strength and power would protect the imperial people. As reflected in the mirror of the Goddess, their concern is not to rule the Empire and lead us in the right direction. All they want is to exploit, exploit, and fill their stomachs. All the nobles in this country, except for some who have awakened, civic revolutionary supporters, such as Count Castle Rock, Duchess Catherine, and Countess Elise, are no different from society’s cancerous mass.

I liked the fact that she made sure to do what I ordered.

Of course, she had to reveal the names of our sponsors. My contacts, who were a little anxious, were all probably nodding by now.

Oscar glanced at me.

It felt like she was asking if she could start now, so I opened my mouth silently.

‘I really like that she obeys me well.’

If Charlia had been like her from the start, I wouldn’t have had to do all these troublesome things.

Upon seeing my signal, Oscar delivered what I said to the public.

“You must get up.”

She raised the flag, pulling out her sword, and spat out the words that dwelt inside.

-You must get up!

“We must build an Empire for the imperial people.”

-We must build an Empire for the imperial people!

“Comrades.”

-Dear comrades!

“I will take the lead first.”

-I will lead the way before anyone else.

“I will bleed first.”

-I will bleed before you. I will shed blood for the cause and for you.

“Wake up.”

-Wake up!

“Many people will be with us.”

-Many people will be with us. The Pope’s side, which knows the true will of God and truly prays for the Empire, some nobles who support us, and the foreigners who have now blended like a family, everyone will be with us!

“Fight.”

-Wake up! Raise your weapon! Take your rights back! Dear Imperial people, the time has come!
