The Holy Emperor's body was burning in his own palace.

Unfortunately, the Guards that were supposed to protect him weren't even there anymore. They were sent away by the Holy Emperor himself who had never expected an outcome like this.

Soon, his body turned into ash, leaving barely any remnant of the person that was called the Holy Emperor. All he became was some dust on the floor.

Even though the Holy Emperor had turned to ashes, there was another person standing next to the ashes who looked just like the Holy Emperor, wearing identical clothes.

The ashes of the Holy Emperor flew with the wind, before disappearing into the unknown. Not even a speck of that ash landed on Eren's clean attire that looked magnificent.

He truly looked like the Holy Emperor who had been untouched by the passage of time. With the real Holy Emperor's death, the barrier that was cast around the hallway had also started disintegrating slowly.

While it was yet to completely disappear, Eren turned to the two women behind him.

As for the Minister of War, he had long passed out the moment Eren tossed him towards Yu Lin who froze most of his body, including all his nerves.

"Are you really going to do this?"

Eren didn't have to explain anything. Just his disguise alone explained that he was planning to take the place of the Holy Emperor.

"How are we going to explain the disappearance of a Great Elder?" Zia asked Eren the question that was urgently needed to answer.

As Eren had taken the place of the Holy Emperor, Eren himself was supposed to be missing. How could that absence be explained, especially when Cardinal Treniel was here?

As teleportation couldn't be used inside the Holy City, unless permitted by the Holy Priestess, they couldn't even say that Eren had returned to the Eastern Continent after opening a Portal.

The Holy Priestess was already suspicious about Eren and his disappearance wasn't going to be ignored.

"Isn't that what you are here for?" Eren smiled, looking at Zia.

Zia's eyes narrowed, wondering why Eren was looking at her like that. Just what was he planning? Why did she feel like a sheep that was on the radar of a wolf?

"Everyone knows that Great Elder Ren is a lecherous person, just like the other Great Elder." Eren's words gave Zia a hint as to what he was suggesting.

Even though Zia wasn't the cleverest person, even she understood what he was implying.

"Absolutely not! Almost everyone in that Duke's Palace thinks that I am a perverted woman! You want the Royal Palace of the Holy Empire to think the same? If it's here, this news won't be limited to the Western Continent itself!"

Unlike the Duke's Palace which was only filled with guards after the arrival of the Holy Priestess, the Royal Palace was filled with many servants aside from the Guards.

While the Guards were still careful about what they leaked, the servants were different. They didn't control their lips.

If she pulled the same act here, then it was going to spread beyond the walls of the palace. It might even be heard by the Merchants that were coming from the Southern Continent.

As it was related to two Great Elders of the Demon Sect, they were definitely going to take interest in it. Zia absolutely didn't want this news to spread everywhere, especially since it wasn't even true.

"What's the point of having a reputation?" Eren simply shrugged.

He couldn't care less about his reputation, especially since it was already as bad as it could be. It was already rumored that he ate the raw flesh of his enemies after giving them gruesome death.

Although it partially became true after the spread of the rumor because of his devouring hearts, it was still an exaggerated rumor.

It completely ruined his reputation while also creating a new reputation for him which was much stronger.

By now, the barrier had almost completely disappeared. Eren was able to hear the footsteps of the Royal Guards that were approaching again.

"Won't you help me with this one last time?" Eren asked Zia who felt at a loss. He was requesting her. Also, this was for the good of the Great Demon Sect. If they took over the Holy Empire, it also made things a lot easier for them.

Although she didn't want to do it, she thought of the reasons to convince herself. More importantly, she agreed to do this because the person asking her was Eren.

"Fine. I will do it." She agreed, sounding a little grumpy. Why did she have to do something like that alone? Why did she have to fake it when she was still inexperienced?

Unfortunately, she couldn't say anything else. She simply turned around and left as she was supposed to be with Eren in his room.

Yu Lin was left behind as per Eren's instructions, still handling the Minister of War who was unconscious.

Now that Eren didn't have to worry about his other personality's whereabouts, he could finally focus on establishing his own domain. And in that, Yu Lin was going to help him.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" The Royal Guards arrived, sighing in relief to see that the Holy Emperor was perfectly fine.

It appeared as if he had managed to convince the two great elders since they weren't anywhere to see either.

"You don't have to worry about me. It was just a misunderstanding with the Minister of War acting on his own to frame me. Now the misunderstanding is over," Eren told the Guards as he walked past them, holding his hand behind his back like a surreal expert.

This was what he learned from the memories of the Transmigrator who possessed the Holy Emperor.

Although he hadn't inherited the memories of the person he possessed, he knew about the way the Holy Emperor behaved through the book that he had read.

Thanks to the memories he had stolen, Eren also knew about the content of the book which gave him an even better understanding of the world and the plot regarding the False Priestess.

It was completely contrary to his assumptions. Even now, he couldn't believe it.
