HOW DID YOU FIND OUT THAT THE GUILD IS UNDER THE EMPEROR'S DIRECT COMMAND? ...AH? COULD IT BE BECAUSE OF WHAT I MENTIONED JUST NOW? IF THE EMPEROR IS PLANNING TO WIPE OUT THE CORRUPT NOBILITY, I FIGURED YOU WOULD LEAN TOWARD A SURPRISE RAID. DO YOU BELIEVE I HAVE SOME INSIDE KNOWLEDGE? ...WELL, I ONLY KNOW THIS BECAUSE OF THE PLOT OF THE ORIGINAL STORY. But Honestly, Isn't This Something Anyone Could Have Pieced Together? WELL, IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS... THE SECRET CODE USED TO CONTACT THE GUILD, IT ACTUALLY BRINGS UP THE 'BLUE HAWK SOARING THROUGH THE SKY,' DOESN'T IT? AND THE FACT THAT THE EMPEROR USED THE BLUE HAWK AS HIS PERSONAL EMBLEM BACK WHEN HE WAS THE GRAND DUKE- ISN'T THAT COMMON KNOWLEDGE BY NOW? THE MAGNIFICENT REGENCIA EMPIRE. ACCORDING TO HISTORICAL MYTH, THE DESCENDANTS OF THE GODDESS ESTABLISHED THIS NATION, GRANTING THE IMPERIAL FAMILY THE DIVINE RIGHT TO BEAR THE GODDESS'S CREST FOR GENERATIONS. HOWEVER, THE PREVIOUS EMPEROR, WHO WAS THE CURRENT EMPEROR'S UNCLE AND HAD TAKEN THE THRONE THROUGH UNJUST MEANS, DECLARED THAT 'I CANNOT ALLOW A COLLATERAL BRANCH OF THE FAMILY TO USE THE GODDESS'S CREST!' FOR THAT VERY REASON, HE BLOCKED THE REIGNING EMPEROR, WHO HELD THE TITLE OF GRAND DUKE BACK THEN, FROM UTILIZING IT, AND THE ALTERNATIVE EMBLEM DESIGNED BECAUSE OF THIS DECREE WAS NONE OTHER THAN THE BLUE HAWK SYMBOL. IT WAS A DELIBERATE PLOY TO HUMILIATE THE SON OF THE LATE CROWN PRINCE, BY OPENLY STAMPING HIM AS A SIDE RELATIVE TO ROB HIM OF HIS RIGHTFUL PLACE AS SUCCESSOR. NOW THAT THE REIGNING EMPEROR HAS RECLAIMED HIS BIRTHRIGHT THROUGH A BRUTAL, BLOODY STRUGGLE, THAT CREST IS UNIVERSALLY RECOGNIZED AS HIS MAJESTY'S OWN EMBLEM. ...JUST FROM CONNECTING THOSE MINOR DETAILS? YOU MANAGED TO DEDUCE THE TRUE BACKERS OF THE GUILD? I DIDN'T THINK THAT PIECE OF HISTORY WAS EVEN THAT WELL-KNOWN... IT APPEARS THIS ALONE ISN'T QUITE ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE ME. NO, LOOK AT THE FACTS! IS THERE ANYONE ELSE DARING ENOUGH TO USE THE BLUE HAWK AS THEIR SIGN? THE VERY FACT THAT EVERYONE WALKS ON EGGSHELLS IS ABSOLUTE PROOF! ON TOP OF THAT, YOU WON'T FIND A SINGLE 'BLUE HAWK BOOKSTORE' OR 'BLUE HAWK TAVERN' ANYWHERE IN THE REALM. PEOPLE EVEN WENT SO FAR AS TO NAME INFANTS BORN DURING THE YEAR OF THE BLUE HAWK WITH NAMES LIKE 'BLUE BIRD' OR 'SKY HAWK' TO STAY ON THE SAFE SIDE. HOLD ON, I'VE NEVER FORCED PEOPLE TO BE THAT TERRIFIED OR CAUTIOUS OVER SOMETHING LIKE THAT?! THERE ARE FAR MORE PEOPLE WORRYING ABOUT IT THAN YOU REALIZE. YOU REALLY ARE COMPLETELY CLUELESS. PFFT...! HAHA, AHAHAHA...! ...I GET IT NOW. SO, IT'S NOT JUST YOU, BUT THE PUBLIC IS ALSO TREADING CAREFULLY OUT OF SHEER FEAR OF ‘THAT INDIVIDUAL’? AH... WELL, YES... Why Is He Bursting Into Laughter Like That...? WELL, THIS TURNED OUT QUITE INTERESTING. THIS TALK HAS BASICALLY TURNED YOUR MERE DEDUCTION INTO A PROVEN FACT. VERY WELL, CAROLINA DIAZ. LET'S HEAR WHAT TERMS YOU ARE PROPOSING. PERFECT! FINALLY, WE ARE GETTING TO THE ACTUAL POINT...! THEN, I WILL GIVE IT TO YOU STRAIGHT. TO BE PRECISE, A FRIEND OF MINE GOT DRAGGED INTO THIS MESS AND WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST. HER NAME IS CONSTANCE. SHE IS EMPLOYED AT THE IMPERIAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE, AND MY GOAL IS TO BREAK HER OUT. HMM. AN ARREST, IS IT... STRIKING A PLEA BARGAIN ISN'T EXACTLY MY DEPARTMENT. CONNIE ISN'T THE CULPRIT HERE. ...CONTROL YOURSELF, LINA. IT BOILS MY BLOOD TO SEE CONNIE BEING TREATED LIKE A CRIMINAL, BUT... IF I END UP GETTING CAUGHT UP IN THIS TOO, IT'S GAME OVER. ...SINCE YOU'VE REVIEWED THE DOCUMENTS, YOU MUST BE WELL AWARE. SIR DONOVAN AND ANDREW NORPEN, THE ACTUAL PERPETRATORS, WERE LET GO RIGHT AFTER QUESTIONING, AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY LIVING IN TOTAL COMFORT UNDER THE PRETENSE OF HOUSE ARREST. MEANWHILE, MY FRIEND CONNIE IS STILL BEING AGGRESSIVELY INTERROGATED, LOCKED AWAY ALL BY HERSELF IN A HOLDING CELL. I'M NOT EVEN PERMITTED TO SEND HER BASIC NECESSITIES LIKE A WARM BLANKET OR FRESH CLOTHES. ISN'T IT GLARINGLY OBVIOUS HOW UNFAIRLY SHE IS BEING TREATED? CONNIE IS COMPLETELY INNOCENT. THAT'S WHY I'M NOT LOOKING FOR A PLEA DEAL. ALL I REQUIRE IS FOR MY FRIEND TO BE RELEASED HOME SAFELY, AND IF THAT PROVES TOO DEMANDING FOR YOU... THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS INTRODUCE ME TO AN INDIVIDUAL WHO CAN HELP CLEAR HER NAME. ...CAROLINA DIAZ, YOU CERTAINLY PLACE AN IMMENSE AMOUNT OF TRUST IN YOUR FRIEND. ...? OF COURSE I DO. CONNIE HAS BEEN MY CLOSEST COMPANION SINCE OUR TIME TOGETHER AT THE ACADEMY. HMM... THE ACADEMY, I SEE. I APPRECIATE YOU ANSWERING THAT. BECAUSE OF THE FIELD I WORK IN, BEING OVERLY SUSPICIOUS HAS BECOME SECOND NATURE TO ME. I'VE PUT YOU THROUGH A LOT OF UNNECESSARY TROUBLE IN MANY WAYS. WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT, THEN. NEXT WEEK AT THIS EXACT HOUR... LET US MEET HERE ONCE MORE. IN THE MEANTIME, I WILL PERSONALLY TAKE CHARGE AND GUARANTEE CONNIE'S PROTECTION. CONNIE, I CAN FINALLY BREATHE...! OH, RIGHT. ...JUST ONE MORE THING. By any chance... would you care for another cup of coffee before you go? OH, NO. I AM COMPLETELY FINE!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING, BUT I SHOULD REALLY BE ON MY WAY NOW! GOODBYE FOR NOW!! IS THAT SO... THOSE FINAL FEW MINUTES WERE ABSOLUTELY THE MOST TERRIFYING MOMENTS OF MY LIFE...! HOW CAN SOMEONE MAKE A SIMPLE 'GET OUT NOW OR YOU'RE FINISHED' SOUND SO INCREDIBLY OMINOUS? AS EXPECTED OF THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THE EMPEROR'S SECRET INTELLIGENCE GUILD. I AM ABSOLUTELY NEVER DRINKING COFFEE HERE AGAIN...!! ...YOUR MAJESTY. KYLE SEYMOUR. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THIS? TODAY AS WELL... IS IT TRULY NOTHING MORE THAN A BIZARRE COINCIDENCE? ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Unbeknownst to Me, I’m Secretly Dating the Emperor #7](/series/unbeknownst-to-me-i-m-secretly-dating-the-emperor-hr359apd/chapter-7-xgxcwh) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/unbeknownst-to-me-i-m-secretly-dating-the-emperor-hr359apd ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
