“Hmm…”
As his eyelids slowly opened, light seeped in.
His hearing also returned, and he heard voices.
“Your Majesty has woken up!”
“Call the physician again!”
“My lord! Are you all right?”
The first thing Eurius saw when he opened his eyes was the faces of his servants.
The knights, including Heinz, and the subordinates he had gathered from the Eastern Continent, such as Jegal Seongwoon, were also there.
“Where is this?”
Jegal Seongwoon was the first to answer.
He seed to have returned to Jeongdomaeng, as so ti had passed.
“Your Majesty has been unconscious for about half a month. You had suffered horrific injuries all over your body.”
“Half a month?”
Eurius suddenly rembered everything.
The day he went to the Holy Kingdom!
The man who looked exactly like Leon! And finally…
“…!?”
He felt a splash of cold water on his head, and his mind snapped awake.
His head spun rapidly.
Jegal Seongwoon continued to report in the anti.
“The Cheokmadan has already returned to Jeongdomaeng. The remnants of the Demon Sect have also been almost wiped out.”
“What else?”
“Ah! Lady Beatrice has woken up. She will be coming to see you soon…”
“Not that.”
Eurius shook his head.
“…!?”
“I want to hear news from the Empire.”
He was not referring to the Eastern Empire, of course.
The faces around him hardened in an instant.
It was obvious that sothing very bad had happened while they were away.
But they couldn’t keep stalling when he demanded it. Heinz spoke up as a representative.
“Actually, we received a letter from the Empire. It’s an order to return imdiately. And…”
He couldn’t bring himself to finish with a pained expression.
“Bring it to .”
Swoosh!
Eurius unfolded the letter and checked the Emperor’s seal first. It was undoubtedly genuine. And as he confird the contents, Eurius frowned.
‘I expected it, but it’s serious.’
[You are stripped of your position as Crown Prince for colluding with the enemy nation and sending troops to the Eastern Continent without permission. You will be handed over to a military tribunal as soon as you return to the Empire. (Omitted) Leonhardt von Scharnos, Imperial Regent]
“Gasp…”
The faces of Eurius’s subordinates, especially the knights, turned grim.
They didn’t know what had happened, but the situation had changed drastically while they were in the Eastern Continent.
“…”
After a mont of thought, Eurius opened his mouth.
“I want so rest. Can you all leave alone for today?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
They seed to want to give him so space, as he had lost everything. How would he feel after being branded a criminal? But what Eurius was thinking was completely different.
‘Isn’t it about ti?’
After all traces of presence disappeared and a little ti passed.
Pop!
The person Eurius was waiting for showed up.
“Are you okay? I’m sorry I didn’t get you out in ti.”
“Hmph…”
Seeing the Emperor Scharnos appear casually, Eurius spat out a groan.
“Stop joking and get to the point. You promised to tell what I wanted to know.”
“Huh? Aren’t you shocked?”
The Emperor Scharnos widened his eyes as if he had seen sothing strange.
Eurius had lost everything right now.
On top of that, he faced a formidable enemy that he couldn’t handle with his own power.
In fact, the Emperor Scharnos had thought of dozens of ways to console him before coming here.
But Eurius was too calm, whether it was a joke or not.
“I’ve already had my neck cut by that bastard Leon in my previous life. Do you think I’ll blink now?”
“Huh…”
The Emperor Scharnos stared at Eurius blankly for a mont, then dropped his light expression.
“All right, what do you want to know first?”
Eurius answered briefly.
“The man who looked like Leon.”
“It’s going to be a bit long, are you okay with that?”
“I don’t mind.”
“Then let’s begin.”
The Emperor Scharnos snapped his fingers.
Ding!
