Revive Rome: Wait! Why not make the empress fall in love with me first?-Chapter 483 - 98 Blood and Bones

Conceptual weapons could not only create cannons to shoot projectiles but also summon flying projectiles directly, although attaching a state of motion meant that the latter method consumed far more spirituality than the former (considering the former also conjured the cannon itself).

However, in emergencies, this capability proved surprisingly effective. For instance, when rapid displacement was needed.

Aske hugged the rocket projectile and shot straight towards the spot where the Emperor and his entourage had vanished. Just as he neared the end of his trajectory, he suddenly let go of the rocket and kicked it midair.

The projectile immediately hit the ground, generating a violent explosion and thick smoke.

The Dragon of Imagination, Bruno, remained calm within the Subconscious Ocean, choosing not to teleport everyone back to the Main Plane rashly, as doing so not only risked injury from the explosion but also posed the threat of being ambushed in the smoke.

Despite everyone being demigods, the team still included a non-demigod Emperor and a severely wounded Chaotic Duke who needed urgent healing; re-entering combat was not a sensible choice at that moment.

Therefore, Bruno simply watched the rolling smoke in silence, without any unnecessary movements. The other demigods, as well as the Emperor, remained quiet as well, seemingly agreeing with his judgment...or they simply lacked any opinion on the matter.

Using the surface of the rocket to gain altitude and prolong his hang-time, Aske once again produced a rocket projectile in his arms.

This time, it was aimed in Eleanor’s direction.

The golden-haired Knight was on the brink of a mental breakdown and could no longer perceive her surroundings.

Finally, the white light enveloping her flickered out like a burnt-out lightbulb, and her delicate body slumped backward, powerless, fingers trying to pull the trigger.

Just about 20 centimeters from the ground, the rider on the rocket caught her body and snatched the gun from her hands.

After landing, the summoned rocket projectile vanished into thin air.

Aske held the unconscious Eleanor, and a third rocket projectile materialized between them, soaring away towards the outskirts of the camp.

With the sound of the two receding mind bodies, Bruno swiftly transported everyone back to the Main Plane from the Subconscious Ocean.

"Chase!" Emperor Otto commanded coldly.

The Acid Erosion Dragon, Hedwig, was about to move when suddenly they heard Knowledge Key Carol exclaim,

"Wait, this is impossible!"

What was impossible? Hedwig didn’t catch on immediately but halted her steps nonetheless.

After all, Carol had been busy interpreting the "relevant knowledge" about that Knight. If her analysis had resulted in something unfavorable, like the potential for a second activation of the Unyielding Holy Sword, wouldn’t pursuing lead to certain death?

Moreover, she could become the first demigod in history to die from impatience without fully hearing out her companion’s words.

Thus, Hedwig could only cast an inquiring and scrutinizing gaze toward the female demigod. The normally composed and intellectual Lady of the Knowledge Key now exhibited inexplicable changes in expression, as if confirming something of extreme importance.

After about half a minute, just as the patience of the Acid Erosion Dragon and Emperor Otto neared its end, she spoke with a grave expression,

"Your Majesty! Lord Acid Erosion Dragon, Lord Imaginary Dragon!"

"Please temporarily cease your pursuit of those who departed. I have extremely important information to share with you!"

Carol explicitly named three individuals: Emperor Otto, the Acid Erosion Dragon, and the Imaginary Dragon, indicating that the information was exclusive to members of the Giant Dragon family.

Consequently, the other demigods discreetly distanced themselves. The Mechanical Monarch quietly moved to another side of the camp’s exit to check on Richarter and Leopold’s condition; the Chaotic Duke, meanwhile, pulled the Sealing Furnace Fire aside to inquire how much longer the seals concocted by his imagination would last.

The Imaginary Dragon, Bruno, set up a mental barrier around them to ensure that no sound would escape and then looked at Carol,

"Lady Knowledge Key, what have you discovered?"

Knowledge Key Carol took a deep breath and then spoke with the most serious, confident, and certain tone she could muster:

"The Knight’s name is Eleanor."

The knight, evidently, was the one who used the Holy Sword, not the intruder who came later.

The name Eleanor... Bruno immediately realized who it was, while the other two found the name somewhat familiar, yet couldn’t recall at the moment.

Just as Emperor Otto was frowning and about to ask a question, he heard Carol say:

"But that’s not her original name. In the week after she was born, her name should have been Sofie."

"Sofie!" Emperor Otto’s complexion changed drastically upon hearing this.

Sofie is a very common girl’s name, but Carol mentioning it in front of him obviously meant it had a unique and special significance for him—it referred to someone, someone of great importance to Emperor Otto.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Carol said earnestly, her expression also one of astonishment at the absurdity of the matter, yet her tone unwavering in her belief, "According to the results of my Law analysis, and further verification can be sought after you find her."

"Indeed, she has the bloodline of the Giant Dragon family running through her veins."

"She is your daughter."

——————————

Emperor Otto has a total of four children.

More precisely, it should be five. It’s just that the eldest daughter, Adelaide, chose to enter the Monastery to serve God and announced she was severing secular relations, so Emperor Otto hardly ever mentioned this daughter in public.

The remaining four children, in order of birth, are Sofie, Matilda, young Otto and his twin sister.

The youngest daughter died shortly after birth from jaundice. The eldest daughter Sofie (actually the second daughter), mysteriously disappeared from the palace a week after her birth, leaving only one son and one daughter to grow up.

Princess Matilda and Prince young Otto.

This shows that no matter how much the Emperor boasts outside, "No one knows education better than I," his royal education was an absolute failure: five children, one lost, one dead, and another who declared the severance of relations with the Royal Family in pursuit of a career in scientific research.

The success rate is less than 50%.

However, strictly speaking, education and health can never be 100% guaranteed. Because even the most diligent parents cannot fully ensure that their children’s bodies and minds will have no problems during their growth.

The only issue worthy of discussion here is the disappearance of the second daughter Sofie.

A week after her birth, she mysteriously vanished from the Aachen Palace. In response, the Emperor ordered the arrest of three wet nurses, ten maids, and about a hundred court guards, still finding no useful clues.

It’s as if this infant had just evaporated from the world.

Many years later, the backstabbing of the Goddess of Destiny finally arrived. The Emperor heard this news all of a sudden, learning that his daughter, who had almost been forgotten and mysteriously disappeared since childhood, had appeared before him.

Moreover, she brazenly ambushed to assassinate him, killed several of his Blade Warrior squads, tossed around three Physical Demigods, blew the head off the Duke of Chaos, ripped off half of the Giant Dragon’s wing like tearing up roast chicken, let loose all the knights and soldiers in the camp, completely incinerating his grand South Expedition Church plan.

The most outrageous part was her openly shouting to "fuck his mother."

At this moment, Emperor Otto couldn’t find any word in Latin, Sirius, or Frank to completely describe his current feelings.

All he could say was that he was bewildered, angry, incredulous, utterly confused, and...

...ecstatic.
