Episode 177
“I came again today. “Are you sure you don’t want to meet?”
Peony Palace.
Now, the crown prince dreams of the day when he can escape this stuffy palace and enter a larger ‘Emwangjeon’.
Schomertan Reinak muttered in an indifferent voice.
“I don’t really want to meet you.”
“It’s already been three days. Missing even a day
“I keep coming here without any notice, asking to see His Majesty the Crown Prince.”
“Know. “I’m not an idiot either.”
“… … “Don’t you know why you’re looking for me?”
reason.
The reason why ‘Flame King Theron’ is looking for him.
know.
Because I know you better than anyone else, I don’t meet you.
Because your resolution will never change.
“Your godfather will soon no longer be the owner of the tower.
“Is there a reason why I should meet him?”
“You must be pouring out sophistry disguised as advice, saying that we must kill Ruin Ardel as soon as possible before he becomes the owner of the tower. “In the end, isn’t it all about maintaining one’s own power?”
In response to the prince’s words, his subject cautiously asked:
“Of course, that’s King Yeom’s position, but if you think about it, isn’t it completely wrong? Recently, the movement of the magic tower has been unusual. Magic Tower
They are insisting that a new tower owner should be brought to the fore in accordance with the oath. If Ruin Ardel truly becomes the owner of the tower, his power will grow even greater… …
“Does not matter. So, don’t bother me anymore.”
The subject had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
He doesn’t even reveal his true feelings properly.
I don’t even listen to other people’s advice.
He always took steps closest to the ‘right answer’.
That was the faith that the Reinak Empire showed to Shomertan.
You shouldn’t try to understand.
‘I guess you mean something.’
It is correct to think of it this way and move on.
What is on the crown prince’s mind?
“scent
His gaze was still fixed on the ‘Map of Frelia Continent’.
okay.
The Wizard’s Tower is not a government authority, but only for ‘wizards’.
It is a power group.
In the ‘Great Reynark Empire’ drawn by the crown prince.
There was no such thing as power beyond one’s control.
‘Wizard’s Tower. ‘It’s a place I have to eat at some point.’
Subdue everyone by force.
A person who only feels safe when placed at my feet.
A human being who, like an emperor, must embrace enormous power.
That was the crown prince.
In that sense, Ruin Ardel becoming a top player is not a bad thing.
There is no justification for bringing down the Wizard’s Tower held by King Yeom.
Isn’t there a good justification for bringing down the wizard’s tower that Ruin holds?
okay.
‘Unification of the continent… … !’
If he becomes emperor, the entire continent will shed blood.
The crown prince spoke in a sad voice, hiding his passionate feelings.
“Please keep an eye on your godfather. If the Godfather or the Wicked Mages try to leave Leverda Inn, kill them immediately. “Don’t let them steal my toys.”
The Sword Grand Prix was an event itself.
Ruina Ardel, who beat strong candidates for the championship and reached the finals at the age of 13… … .
“Hwaaaaaaa!”
“It’s okay. I heard you did well.”
Runner-up.
Ruina seemed to be winning in the beginning based on her overwhelming talent.
In the end, the difference in ‘experience’ got in the way.
Hellsk Baton seemed to allow a minor attack, but he took advantage of it and drove Ruina to the corner of the pitch at the most critical moment.
Ruina was taken down in an instant.
Thanks to this, a large lump appeared on Ruina’s forehead… … .
I had to resist the feeling of wanting to run out and hit the guy right away, regardless of the game.
Anyway, that’s why it’s a celebration of the last night of ‘Sword Grand Prix’… … .
“Hwaaaaaaa!”
It became a sea of tears like this
all.
Does Ruina know?
I’m talking about the eyes of the eliminated candidates who were looking at Ruina, who was crying because she was so sad about being the ‘runner-up.’
They were happy just for the fact that they made it to the 16th round, so it’s natural that they don’t look nice.
I said, placing my hand on Ruina’s head.
“You said you did well enough? Think about your age. “He was only 13 years old.”
“Sniff! “Really?”
“then! You are still young, you have one more chance. “If you go to the Sword Grand Prix again in four years, no one will be able to beat you, right?”
It is fortunate that one can dream of the Sword Grand Prix, which can never be attempted unless the timing is right.
I may not know, but I can be sure.
It is said that in about four years, there will not be a single knight of her age who can surpass Ruina.
“And look at this too. actually won
“He’s more interested in you than Hellsk Baton.”
“… “really?”
As Ruina wiped away her tears and looked around, many people who were watching us looked the other way.
At the same time, I glanced at him to see when to speak to him.
than the obvious winner, 17-year-old Hellsk Bay Turn.
It was clear that 13-year-old Louisa Ardel, who appeared like a comet, was seen as a more attractive knight.
“You are a knight, not a lady.
So don’t cry anymore. Understand?”
“O U” –9 O •
Only then did Ruina sniffle and wipe away the water from her eyes.
At that time, the sword grand prix winner and trainee knight ‘Hellsk Baton’ approached with a puzzled look and asked Ruina.
“Hmm, is your forehead okay?”
“… … so so. Congratulations on winning.”
The bastard who created a lump as big as a fist on my brother’s head.
But, his face looks a little suspicious.
all.
The guy who looks like a bandit twists his body for no reason and his face turns red.
“Hmm, hmm… … . “Thank you.” “..
Why do you stutter?
What is this bastard?
No way, I won’t say something cringeworthy to Ruina like ‘You’re the first woman to push me like this’… … .
“Keuhumhum. Ruina Ardel. “Do you know that?”
” what?”
“I can’t believe you made such a deep wound on my leg. You are the first woman who made me like this. me too… … . I don’t know how I feel. “I’m excited.”
As expected, after all.
It looks like a bandit, but it has eyes.
Perhaps because Ruina is still young, she looks attractive enough to make you want to see her again once you see her.
In a few years, I’m sure a lot of guys will make me cry, right?
However, Ruina said with a face that said, ‘I’m not interested in you, so get out of here.’
A little mild.
“I understand what you mean, but I don’t like hair loss.”
“Ta, hair loss? What are you talking about? “I didn’t lose my hair, I shaved my head voluntarily!”
“Yeah, I don’t like tight hair either.”
“Bae, a million people with hair loss will be shocked when they hear this.
It’s so easy to get the sound right… … !”
Did you lose a million hairs?
“Anyway, I’m not really interested in men. “I like a sword better than a man.”
“Huh, home! Same goes for me. The sword is the path that knights like us must walk! So, for now… … “How about we at least remain friends?”
“••••••friend?”
“Yes, yes! friend!”
Ruina glanced at me when she heard the word “friend.”
Still, in name and in name, I am your brother, my
Are you paying attention?
It wasn’t.
Because Ruina’s eyes were very playful.
“I don’t like weak friends. “Because my brother is a bit strong.”
Hellsk Baton’s eyes turned to me.
You must know because you have heard countless rumors about me.
He swallowed and said.
“older brother.”
“••••••what’?”
“I will become as strong as you as soon as possible. Give me a chance to be Ruina and her friend.”
older brother’?
This kid is already drinking kimchi soup’?
The guy who looks like he’s ten years older than me is my brother.
You and I are the same age.
However, Ruina must have liked this look of Hellsk Baton quite a bit! “She said with a smile.
“Hahaha… … ! “He’s a big, funny guy.”
“Uh, um? Is it funny? haha! “If it makes you laugh, I like it too.”
“I was joking when I said I didn’t like straight hair. Okay, let’s be friends.”
“… … “Really?”
“huh. Still, it would be better if you grow your hair pretty.”
“Ah, I understand!”
Helsk Baton, a big, bulky man, blushed while muttering, ‘I’ll braid your long hair nicely.’
That guy has long hair.
It seems like it will take 10 years?
Anyway, I’m glad Ruina got her smile back thanks to that guy.
At that time, Lord Bolvar approached me and spoke.
“young master. “It’s about what you said earlier.”
“Ah yes. “Please change your seat.”
Lord Bolvar and I moved to a corner of the banquet hall.
There are people around us who are watching us.
Rajiza, Lord Bolvar spoke with a very serious expression.
“Master, your prediction was correct. “There are some suspicious people.”
“..is that so.”
Today’s day.
The appearance of a person presumed to be ‘Doom Prime’ seen inside Altain Stadium.
Since we were talking about Doom Prime, I may have been mistaken for a moment.
I never passed this over lightly.
Once you become the top owner, targeting me will become even more difficult.
In the end, before starting the ‘qualification verification’.
today.
My reasonable suspicion that it would be aiming for my neck seemed to be confirmed.
“I have checked the list of all participants in today’s banquet. “The personnel is exactly the same, but the composition has changed.”
“What if it’s a composition?”
“yes. One team of participants did not enter the banquet hall at all. “There was a group of people who came into the banquet hall disguised as participants and hiding their identity.”
My eyes turned to the ‘blind spot’ that might be secretly watching me from somewhere.
At that moment, I saw that a person’s shadow suddenly disappeared.
I spoke to Lord Bolvar.
“I think I know who it is.”
“… … “Who is it?”
“Doom Prime.”
I didn’t see anything in vain.
Then, why did he come?
The Doom Prime I know is a stubborn and boring guy.
I didn’t think he was the kind of guy who would receive low-level instigations like assassination… … .
But, is this the guy who will do anything if ‘Flame King Theron’ tells him to?
There was no need to just hold back.
Because I just had to ask.
“… … Doom Prime?”
This guy suddenly appeared in front of me.
He was holding a different magic sword rather than the ‘Sword of Radiance’ that he always carried.
From the sword sheath to the sword body.
At best, even the sword was a black sword so dark that it felt unpleasant, resembling jet black.
A 2 Lot— –O
The sight of him pulling out his sword came to say hello to me after a long time.
It doesn’t seem like it.
It doesn’t seem like we met by chance or that we visited for a different purpose.
“Did King Yeom send you? “You want to kill me?”
At my question, Doom Prime’s eyebrows twitched.
The word ‘Yeomwang’ is annoying.
“How dare you take His name in vain with your filthy mouth…” …
“It’s still the same. “I feel the attitude toward King Yeom.”
One- •
“Are those skills still the same?”
I confidently raised both fists.
However, there’s something about this guy’s appearance that’s not unusual.
