Running Away After Getting Pregnant with the Tyrantโs Child (41)
–
Silence fell over Chrysea Palace which was previously flooded with the thuds of military boots.
โW-what theโ.โ
โI canโt move!โ
The soldiersโ cries of confusion broke the silence.
Amidst the commotion, one man leisurely made his way through.
โWelcome.โ
โRineh, you had me worried.โ
Launelian scanned Aristine to make sure she was okay.
Then his eyes turned to the soldiers who were unable to move due to his telekinesis.
It was tough to restrict the movement of the knights who had aura, but the hundreds of other soldiers were easily suppressed.
โIs this the power of โEnlightenmentโ? I know Iโm strong, but itโs not to this extent.โ
Launelian was impressed.
The power of the Chrysea flower, which had bloomed according to Aristineโs will, was seeping into Launelian.
โWhat do you think youโre doing?! Capture that traitor already!โ
โEmperor. No, Alpheus.โ
When Aristine called his name in a placid tone, the emperorโs eyes grew so wide that they could fall out.
Was this wench calling him by his name now?
โThe Chrysea Palace is already surrounded. Military power has already been transferred to our side. Compliments of my capable Elder Brother.โ
โW-what did you say…?โ
โAnd you will kneel to me.โ
โWhat are you…!โ
The emperor was unable to finish his sentence.
His knees hit the dirty floor with a thud.
Just as Aristine said, he knelt before her. No matter how much force he tried to exert, he simply could not get up.
โY-You…!โ
Aristine turned away from the emperor and her eyes fell on the palace entrance.
People followed her gaze and turned to the entrance, but there was nothing there.
โWhat is it?โ
Just as they began to tilt their heads in confusion, Marquis Carnelian entered the palace, leading a large army.
The moment he saw Aristine, he blinked in shock.
โPrince Launelian was saying the truth…!โ
As a matter of fact, Marquis Carnelian was about to enter final negotiations with Launelian. Yet, there was one reason why he ran all the way here even though they hadnโt reached an agreement.
The news that ใEnlightenmentใ had actually happened.
Although he was skeptical, he figured that any deceit would only hurt Launelian, so he led his troops to Chrysea Palace.
Marquis Carnelian fell to his knees before Aristine.
โI greet Your Majesty the Emperor.โ
Aristine looked down at him in silence for a moment, then she ordered.
โBind Alpheus.โ
โYour wish is my command.โ
Those soldiers following Alpheusโ orders had already lost their will to fight.
They had swung their swords with hesitation, wondering if Aristine had truly acquired a power that only existed in legends.
Furthermore, when Launelian arrived, he bound the freedom of the soldiers, and Marquis Carnelian came with a large army numbering in the tens of thousands.
Not only was the Chrysea Palace surrounded but the entire imperial palace was suffering the same face.
Even after Launelian released his telekinesis, none of the soldiers moved.
The knights in the emperorโs command unit also put down their swords and knelt before Aristine.
And with that as the trigger, everyone, including the soldiers, fell to their knees.
This was not a coronation.
No one ever thought there would be a new emperor.
However, everyone was paying their respects to a new emperor.
* * *
Aristine closed her eyes.
Everything was exactly as she had seen it.
After she crossed through the mirrored surface and calmed down, she saw the future.
Just like when she came to the demonic beast plains as a child and met Tarkan, it was as if the future was unfolding before her eyes.
However, things were different from back then.
Now, she wasnโt just seeing the future, but also the distant past and the present. Everything was so vivid that she felt like she could grasp it in her palms.
Anything that Aristine wanted to see unfolded before her eyes.
Images of the emperor rushing towards them, Launelianโs fervent negotiations with Marquis Carnelian, the soldiers flocking towards them.
And the very distant past.
What was this power?
The Monarchโs Sight was clearly a limited power.
It did not unfold before her eyes like this, rather, it appeared as a reflection on the water surface.
Plus, it wasnโt something that Aristine could see just because she wanted to.
So what could it be?
Why did her hair and eye color change?
How did she cross through the water surface?
The moment she asked that question, the past of over a thousand years was revealed to her.
The door to the truth that no one else had opened.
There were several great abilities besides the Monarchโs Sight that were called โauthorityโ.
The power of foresight, to foresee your clearly desired future.
The power to control the weather, to call forth rain and thunderstorms.
The power of regression, to turn time back to the past.
However, it was only Aristineโs power, Monarchโs Sight, that was given the title โMonarchโ.
ใEnlightenmentใ was proof that one was an emperor chosen by God.
Because only those who possess the Monarchโs Sight can achieve โenlightenmentโ.
In other words, Monarchโs Sight was a prerequisite for ใEnlightenmentใ.
It was given the name Monarchโs Sight because it was evidence that once possessed the innate qualities of a king.
Of course, Chrysea flowers were needed forใenlightenmentใ
โNo, I donโt actually need Chrysea flowers.โ
The chrysea flowers were just a medium.
โThe reason for all this.โ
Aristine opened her eyes.
Her eyes immediately met Tarkanโs eyes.
He should have been taken aback or confused by everything that suddenly happened, but Tarkan didnโt care at all. His eyes were only focused on her.
His golden eyes shimmered even more vividly under the glow of the Chrysea flowers.
โIt was you.โ
Aristine stretched out her hand towards Tarkan.
โMy flower.โ
Tarkan squeezed Aristineโs hand tightly. And his eyes became noticeably darker.
Despite the passage of a thousand years, the blessings of the sky still remained.
โYou were my destiny. From the very beginning.โ

Thank you for the update!
Nooo itโs ending ๐ญ Iโve been following this story since it had 30 chapters Iโm sad to watch it end ๐ข
Probably not ending just yet. I donโt know about you, but can you imagine Aristideโs expression when, to follow Silvanian etiquette, her advisors ask Tarzan to cover his abs?
Sheโd throw the throne to her brother and run to Irugo on the spot. ๐
So, I donโt imagine them staying. Plus, the future baby is supposed to be even more powerful than their mother. It would be disappointing to tease something like that and then not use it. Then thereโs miss 3rd person. So, hopefully a fair bit left.๐ค
Btw, Tarkanโs new nickname nearly killed me. ๐ป๐น๐ธ๐บ
it’s not ending just yet. as far as I know, we’ve just passed the halfway of the novel

I imagine there’s still a good bit to go in this story, but I’m enjoying picturing the message to send to Irugo at this moment: “Dear King Nephter. Hope things are going well there. It’s been a busy week here. Had a quick little coup, but settled everything quickly. Signed, Your daughter-in-law Aristine, Empress of Silvanus.”
Thanks for the translation miss ruby…
