The bloodline of the Pendragon royal family is extremely small compared to the royal families of other countries.
I don’t know if it’s because I have the dragon’s blood, but it’s hard for me to have children.
In contrast to the royal families of other countries, who may have hundreds or even thousands of relatives and collateral branches, Pendragon’s blood relatives only number ten, which is a comparatively small number.
However, since the standards for royalty are strict, there may be some who have few blood relatives.
Silver hair.
It was proof that he had received the blessing of the Silver Dragon, and unless he could prove that proof, Pendragon could not use the name of Pendragon.
That is, I don’t know about other royal families, but it also meant that Pendragon could never have children out of wedlock.
So, because the hands of the pendragon were so precious, the blood of the royal family was always precious.
Maybe that’s why.
“… When I think of the honor of a knight, suicide is inevitable, but I have a noble mission to leave behind the blood of the royal family. The royal mission and the honor of a knight. When these two weights are weighed on the scale, how can I neglect the royal mission? That is why I cannot die!”
“… … .”
“Honey, killing is never the right choice. Don’t kill me, commoner!”
“… … .”
“I wish he would stop threatening me with his fists… … .”
“… What a funny kid?”
He is confident even when begging for his life.
It’s annoying and annoying, and the way he speaks is clearly calling for a punch, but it’s also funny at the same time.
He’s arrogant and rude, but somehow he doesn’t seem to have a bad personality.
So, Lee Han.
“I’m not so kind as to let the guy who pulled out his sword first off.”
“… … .”
“You should have fixed that habit. Do you know how surprised my young heart was?”
“… … .”
He gave a soft sentence to the prince who was buried in the ground with only his neck sticking out, and cold sweat ran down Aren’s face.
With the ominous feeling that today might be his memorial day.
“-It doesn’t seem like you’ve done it once or twice?”
“There were more than one or two guys who picked on that guy. And the aftereffects were considerable, so he must be used to this kind of thing.”
“… … It’s a wonder those who suffered didn’t send assassins.”
“I sent a lot. But the assassins are all dead. I heard that the ones I sent are paralyzed and can’t even control their bowels.”
“… … .”
… … Jordan decided that he would never become an enemy of that senior, even if he didn’t know anyone else.
* * *
… I know it might sound like an excuse now that I’m saying this, but Aren had no intention of harming him, even if he wanted to threaten him.
“I, I just thought you were a parasite trying to cling to Her Highness the Crown Princess, as usual… .”
“Why on earth did you think that? Lee Han was a knight who was duly invited.”
“Well, he was a person with many suspicious aspects. He was demoted, but he quickly gained fame in the academy…! Where else could someone be so suspicious?”
“It’s a bit… to be suspicious of just that.”
Compared to Lee Han, Jake was a true pacifist and had great respect for the royal family, but even he could not defend his words because they were so unreasonable.
Aren, who noticed Jake’s rapidly changing face, continued speaking urgently.
Because he knew that if he couldn’t convince this normal person, the monster with the shovel would bury him again!
“Oh, of course I’m not suspicious of this alone! I heard something!”
“talk?”
“Oh, that was a story about a ruthless person. A person who looked down on the powerless members and beat them up indiscriminately, and on top of that, he was desperate to get in touch with the powerful… That kind of thing.”
“… … .”
To Jake who was listening, it was an absurd story.
Lee Han treats the powerless members with contempt and beats them indiscriminately, and clings to those in power?
‘Are they two people with the same name?’
On the contrary, it was the common noble spirits of Baek Eun Sa Ja who did such things, and it had nothing to do with Lee Han.
“Who are these people who said such things?”
“… … I can’t say, how could a knight sell the name of his comrade!”
“… Then I can’t help you either… .”
Jake’s gaze turned briefly, and there it was.
“Should I hit you with one hundred more rounds?”
“Please bear with it, senior.”
There was a beast with a murderous gaze.
“Even if I do that, you’ll keep your mouth shut….”
“Profit! Didn’t I say I couldn’t say it! How could I sell the names of Lord Baker and Lord Lyman? I absolutely could not do that!”
“… … .”
“My mouth is heavy! How can I tell you that Lord Garmond said something similar…!”
“…hmm.”
… … Jake’s respect for royalty has been reduced by half.
‘It’s better to just stay quiet, okay?’
But one thing is clear.
‘I guess I’ll live a long life.’
Jake, who may not have much sense, but has a cowardly survival instinct, seemed destined to live a long life.
“…what?”
Lee Han blinked at the explanation of his only friend in the Knights Templar.
Because I thought I heard wrong.
But it seems I didn’t mishear.
“It seems like the 1st Knights have labeled you a political enemy. In other words, you have been branded a political enemy by the royalists. And the prince, or rather the 1st Knight Commander… seems to have been used?”
“Royalty?”
“He’s a powerless royal, and he’s got a big parachute. I don’t think there’s many people who would be loyal to him.”
“… He has a good survival instinct, but he really has no sense.”
The world is fair.
He has the status of royalty and outstanding looks. He also has the talent to become a knight, but unfortunately, it seems that the prince has taken away his wit and political sense.
So don’t be taken advantage of so easily.
‘No, in this case, is it just because he has thin ears and is choleric?’
Whatever it is, it is clear that he is destined to live a short life, but strangely, he is so faithful to his survival instinct that he cannot help but be the type of person who will live a long life even if he faces a crisis.
‘He’s a really funny guy.’
Yi Han now turned his attention away from the prince, saying he was too stupid to be angry, and instead asked the same question he had been having since a while ago.
“Why am I so quiet…?”
The story goes that the Knights Templar designated him as a static being.
Lee Han felt unrealistic about those words.
He really has never touched them and has no interest in them, so why should he suddenly be called a political enemy?
Jake questions these questions.
“You must be so conspicuous. That’s why you’re only doing your best.”
He told me that I was being too bold.
“Huh… I’m going crazy.”
Unlike the prince, Lee Han had a keen sense of humor and understood what his friend was saying right away.
What the guy said was something like this.
The Baek Eun-sa-ja, no, the nobles of the palace are wary of Lee Han.
Why?
Because I was too active and doing too well… .
“Her Highness the Crown Princess’s call this time may have been the decisive blow, but there must have been many forces targeting you before then, and they must have taken this opportunity to strike.”
“What did I do?”
Lee Han was shocked.
Because he really didn’t do anything.
Even if he had accumulated merit, he hid it all and passed it on to other men, and he lived a very quiet life as a knight.
But now you’re treating me like a enemy just because I’ve accumulated some merit?
What kind of a joke is this…?
“Rather, the problem was that I didn’t do anything.”
“?”
“Don’t you know? You too, since you were in Baek Eun Sa Ja, had to make a decision. You had to support the royalists or the nobles. You had to decide between the two, but you chose neither. That alone would be enough to make you look bad, but you also have outstanding skills. In other words, the day has come when the sharp peg finally meets the sharp end.”
“What the hell… .”
“Yeah, it’s really fucking annoying. But what can I do, this is-.”
It’s a palace.
Jake shrugged slightly, and Lee Han couldn’t help but frown.
You’re getting caught not taking anyone’s side… What kind of ridiculous logic is this?
I feel like going to all the knights and beating them up.
“Hold on, fighting won’t do you much good. They’d rather pick a fight with you, right? Just to tarnish your image.”
Jake urged her to be patient.
I know it’s frustrating, but it’s a reputation you’ve earned.
But in this situation, if he fights the Knights, there is a risk that his fame will be replaced by infamy.
He was a good-willed man who didn’t want his friend to become infamous, and he hoped that he would make a wise choice.
“Is it okay if I become notorious?”
“… … .”
“You said Baker and Lehman? Let’s start with those guys.”
“ah….”
It was only then that Jake remembered.
This guy doesn’t care about my image at all, and he’s a beast who will cripple anyone who attacks him, regardless of their status.
And I expect.
‘I can’t stop this, right…?’
That many people will have to stay in bed today.

“But, Princess!”
“I should call you Her Highness the Crown Princess.”
“…Is that different?”
“… … I don’t know how many times I have to explain this to you.”
“Hehe, sorry.”
“… Haa, that’s it.”
Isis has been generous to Leila Winter since long ago.
Isn’t it because she has no such sinister side?
On the contrary, from her perspective, it was easier to deal with those who were sinister and secretive, and it was more difficult to deal with those who were transparent and innocent like Leila Winter.
Her weakness, not her weakness?
That’s why she couldn’t really get angry at the slip of the tongue of a woman who was just a maid.
On the contrary, he is acting kindly.
Perhaps Isis’s only natural enemy, I thought, would be the innocent-looking handmaiden with braided hair that suited her so well.
“What made you call me?”
“Hehe, it’s nothing else… Oh, what were you trying to ask?”
“… … .”
“Oh, that’s right! I just saw it, but the knight was dragging the princess’s younger sister away. Is that okay?”
“Little brother…? … … I see, that’s what you were referring to as that stupid guy.”
No matter how much you ask, why do you forget your younger sibling like this? But the only people she remembers are the talented people.
She wasn’t idle enough to even pay attention to [the clown].
… On the other hand, I remember the case of excellent brothers.
─Because they were the ones who had their throats cut off or were imprisoned by her hands.
On the contrary, it might have been wiser not to attract her attention.
“Well, if he took a stupid clown with him, there must be a reason. Of course, he might have been used like a clown. Without even realizing that he was being used.”
“…?”
“… Sometimes I wish you were a little bit smarter.”
“lol.”
“ha….”
With insight that made one wonder if Lee Han had clairvoyance, she immediately came up with a guess that was close to the truth.
‘Perhaps the Knights incited the clown.’
It’s obvious.
Since the royal family’s status is at rock bottom, they must have decided that they can have fun with the eighth prince, who has no right of succession and is essentially useless.
It can’t be anything other than a cat.
‘… What should I do?’
Ok, Ok.
The delicate fingers that naturally bring to mind the phrase “fine and delicate” tap the teacup.
To some, it may seem like a beautiful sight, like an angel or a fairy in distress, but when you think about the fact that every time someone is troubled like that, they die, it can’t help but be an incredibly disturbing moment.
Toouk.
“… Huh, now that I think about it, maybe it’s something I don’t need to worry about.”
There is no need for her to come forward.
Of course.
‘-Because Yeo-ui’s younger sister won’t tolerate it.’
How can a great tiger tolerate the insolence of lowly dogs?
Isis knew her step-brother well.
As expected.
dripping.
“Your Majesty! I am Berhen! I have urgent news to convey, so I would like to ask for an audience. Please forgive me…”
“Come in. What brings you to my lady’s room at this hour?”
“I’m, I’m sorry, Your Majesty. It’s not that… It’s that… Ki, Ki-Kisa Lee Han is currently causing a ruckus. Because of this… .”
“It’s not a riot, it’s a duel.”
“…Huh?”
Although it was the chief of staff who dared to question her words, Isis decided to let it slide for today.
Isn’t it a rain that breathes life into the dull palace life?
Today, at least, she decided to be harmful.
“So, did the ‘knights’ ‘fair’ ‘sparring’ cause any ‘problems’?”
“… … .”
38 years of palace life.
Surviving the palace, which was like a cave, was a testament to one’s ability, and the chamberlain recognized that the Crown Princess had ordered the matter to be ‘covered up’.
So.
“… Ahem, I, due to the fair sparring, there were a few ‘slight injuries’, but, I don’t think there will be any major problems…”
The chief simply shook his hand, realizing that he had to somehow turn this into a ‘sparring match’ rather than an ‘incident’.
Because working overtime is a certainty for the time being.
Isis nodded, satisfied with the sage’s wise answer.
“That’s too bad. So, how many people were injured?”
“… … For the First Order, it is sixty-three. For the Second Order, it is seventy-two.”
“Second Division?”
“That… . They say that when they tried to stop it, it got mixed up instead.”
“I see. A total of 135 people, haha, that was some really intense sparring.”
“……majesty.”
This is not something to laugh about.
Because of one knight, 135 out of 300 members of the Silver Lion Knights were destroyed.
If this were to become known outside, it would cause a huge uproar.
The chamberlain’s heart was burning, but there was a look of delight on her face, so the chamberlain could only feel anxious.
at that time.
“The last person in charge.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
At her call, the attendant reflexively lowered his head and looked forward.
He is a man of great intelligence and talent.
Surely, He will give us a clever solution to solve these problems.
“Next time, if something interesting like that happens, call me quickly. You didn’t miss the chance to see it, did you?”
“… … .”
“You’re so clueless, man… .”
“…majesty…….”
The loyal servant Bergen suddenly felt like retiring.
