My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!-Chapter 354 - : The Red World

Eren was escorted by the Servant to the rooms that were arranged for them.

The rooms arranged for the three of them were situated next to each other, but they were located in a completely different part of the Palace. They were far away from the Grand Hall and the section where the Emperor resided.

This area was also less guarded, likely to make the guests feel more at ease. Instead of being made to feel like prisoners under constant surveillance, they were left relatively free, with guards assigned sparingly.

Although it made sense from the Emperor's perspective, Eren had a feeling that this was not his decision.

Although it was good to make the guests feel comfortable, why would the Emperor take such a risk? If something happened to the guests in the Royal Palace, the blame was going to fall on him.

Either he was confident that nothing was going to happen to them or it was the work of someone else.

While Eren was thinking about the arrangements of the guards, he also could not help but remember what he had seen on the status screen of the Emperor.

.................

Name: Damien Valerian (Jake Razenhall)

Identity: Emperor of the Holy Empire

Status: Possessed by a soul from Earth

Description: Error.

.................

Eren already knew the Holy Emperor was an important figure, but he never expected the Emperor to be possessed by someone from Earth.

With this discovery, he had now located the Transmigrator from Earth in the Western Continent as well. He now had a rough idea of the Transmigrators' positions across almost every continent.

The only Transmigrator in the Eastern Continent was Eren himself. In the Southern Continent, there were Aster and the Prophet, both of whom held significant positions originally.

In the Northern Continent, there was Fey, who had already interacted with Eren. And finally, in the Western Continent, it was the Holy Emperor himself.

Amongst these four Transmigrators, only Fey had possessed someone without much of an influence. He was the heir of the Wind Tower that was already destroyed. As for the remnants, they were killed by him.

Despite that, he was also the most dangerous one according to Eren, especially since his enslaving ability was quite frustrating.

Amongst the four Transmigrators, Fey was the one that Eren certainly wanted to kill.

While Eren could not be certain if there was only one Transmigrator in the North and West, or if there were more, this information was still better than living in the dark.

With this knowledge, Eren no longer needed to waste a question on the Author. He felt prepared for a meeting, having gathered quite a lot of valuable information.

Eren also had a specific question he wanted to ask the Author. But before that, he wanted to get some much-needed rest, as his mind was exhausted to even consider the revelations about the Holy Emperor.

Even with this new discovery, he couldn't dwell on it too much in his current sleepy state. He was already starting to feel as if he was walking in a lucid dream, almost failing to differentiate between reality and dreams.

Soon, he was brought to a room that was assigned to him. Without wasting a second, he entered the room. However, he didn't leave the two girls behind either.

He held their hands and took them inside the room as well, telling the Servant that they won't be needing extra rooms.

With the door slammed on his face, the servant was left stunned.

'I can understand the Great Elder but wasn't the other girl supposed to be his disciple? He... even with her...? As expected from a Demon.'

The Servant appeared disgusted as he turned around to leave.

'It does not matter. Enjoy while you still can. The Cardinal will make sure your good days don't last long.'

....

The room assigned to Eren was just as pretty as the room in the Duke's Palace. If anything, it looked even more luxurious with a unique scent of its own.

Eren didn't care about appreciating its beauty. He simply fell on the bed, burying his face in the pillow as he fell asleep like a child.

As for bringing the other women to his room, it was just his way of protecting them. If something went wrong, they could at least wake him up.

Now that he understood that the Holy Church was planning something, he could not leave the two of them alone.

....

Cardinal Treniel exited the Royal Palace, having failed to speak with the Emperor. He occasionally glanced back at the Palace, his gaze filled with suspicion.

"I wonder if he knows something," he mused. "But even if he does, there's nothing he can do to change his destiny. It's time to remove the Holy Emperor and the Necromancer Tower."

A grin spread on Treniel's lips as he looked towards the cloudy sky. "Soon, all four continents will experience the grace of the Goddess

....

An unknown amount of time had passed before Eren seemingly came to his senses. His brows furrowed, and before he could even open his eyes, he was frowning.

The surface he was lying on felt rough, unlike the soft bed he had expected.

"Why does my bed feel like rocks?" he wondered, unsure if his body was so messed up that even a soft bed felt unpleasant.

Slowly, he opened his eyes, and noticed that the world around him was tinted in a deep red hue, as if the entire landscape had been painted crimson. This was not the room where he had fallen asleep.

Pushing himself up, Eren took in his unfamiliar surroundings. He was not on a bed, but rather lying on a rocky surface in the center of a massive crater, the size of a city.

As far as he could see, there was no sign of nature or any familiar landmarks.

"Where am I?" Eren asked aloud, pinching the back of his hand in an attempt to wake up from what he assumed must be a dream. However, the pain felt all too real.
