anwhile, Jamir was also busy devising a sche to eliminate Eurius.
“This is also a good opportunity to get rid of Karim and put Parthia completely under the control of the Order!”
He planned to get rid of both Karim and Eurius at once. He had prepared everything in advance.
“But there was a mysterious intruder who broke into the temple…”
It was better to eliminate any variables in his plan. But he couldn’t think of any force that could do that.
“Well, I have insurance for any contingencies, so should I go ahead with this?”
He finally finished his thoughts and got up from his seat. He headed to the palace.
“I want to see my brother Karim. Is he here?”
“He is having a eting with His Highness Eurius, the first prince of the Empire.”
“Really? Then please deliver a ssage to him.”
He smiled.
***
The people in the hall were all stunned.
Karim was curious about what they were doing after treating them well, and Eurius was surprised by the sudden appearance of the stat window.
Finally, Jegal Geon was flustered at first, but he quickly recovered his composure as befitting his calm personality.
“I will take care of it. Your Majesty, please stay still.”
“Hmm?”
“The influx of energy is gradually stopping. If you try to block it clumsily, you might get injured.”
“Is that so?”
He was an expert, so Eurius decided to look at the stat window carefully for now.
[For players only, the fusion of four energies belonging to Death God Martial Arts is possible. You have partially absorbed the characteristics of the Azure Dragon’s Breath. When you learn it yourself later, your proficiency will increase faster.]
[According to the characteristics of the Azure Dragon’s Breath, your force control and agility increase.]
“Lee Cheongmun’s legacy, Death God Martial Art, was originally a martial art that was split into four pieces. It seems that the more pieces you collect, the more effective it becos.”
If White Tiger Defensive Technique gave him excellent senses and defensive skills for close combat, then the Azure Dragon’s Breath had the characteristic of improving his overall ability to move his body.
Soon, the energy that flowed in was completely absorbed by Eurius.
“Do you feel any discomfort?”
“It’s just a small amount of energy that leaked out. But…”
Jegal Geon looked at him with a complicated expression.
Normally, the energy that was blown into soone else’s body would never beco theirs.
‘He didn’t use any ans to forcibly take away my energy.’
If he had done that, Jegal Geon wouldn’t have been so safe. Then there was only one answer.
“Your Majesty, have you already learned the inner arts of our clan?”
“Not really.”
“I don’t understand. Unless you have trained in the sa lineage of inner power, this shouldn’t happen.”
Eurius sneered at this point.
“I’ll explain it to you after this desert incident is over. Isn’t there soone waiting over there?”
It was Karim who had been watching them with a curious expression.
Jegal Geon also ca to his senses.
‘My mission from the clan is to assist His Majesty, not to question him.’
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave you two alone.”
“That’s fine with .”
Jegal Geon stepped back and Karim bowed deeply to Eurius.
“First of all, I thank you for healing my father. I didn’t believe it at first, but I was wrong and I’m ashad.”
“I’m sorry for starting a fight with you.”
Eurius and Karim finally started to show signs of harmony.
It was natural since he had used the most appropriate ans to gain trust.
“But it’s not completely cured yet.”
“Even so, it’s a fact that I owe you a favor.”
“Then let’s talk about sothing more serious now.”
“You an that Jamir bastard.”
“You must have guessed it too. He’s not unrelated to this situation. And…”
“You ca here to negotiate with for a reason.”
Karim was quick to catch on. This was sothing Eurius had been suspicious of since he first entered the desert.
‘What I had originally thought of Karim was an ambitious person who would collude with Wallace. But when I t him in person, he didn’t seem like soone who would take such a risk.’
Karim had refused Wallace’s assassination offer and also showed a cold attitude to the imperial delegation. There was only one thing that could be inferred from this!
‘Sothing big must have happened to him in the last few years that he needed external help.’
There was only one conclusion. It was the seventh prince Jamir, who had risen as Karim’s biggest enemy in Parthia.
Karim sighed and began to tell his story.
“Actually, I started to suspect and check on him a year ago.”
“I thought so. You don’t seem like soone who would make enemies by picking on trivial things.”
The conflict between Karim and Jamir was known to be because of Parthia’s entertainnt tourism business.
But as soon as he t Karim, Eurius felt doubtful. He was stubborn, but he wasn’t the kind of person who would oppose a business that would benefit the country.
“I tried to cure my father by using every possible thod but nothing worked. However!”
At this point, Karim’s eyes flashed with killing intent.
“That bastard Jamir brought so precious dicine from sowhere and gave it to my father. After that, his symptoms seed to ease a little.”
“Is that why he rose to be the real power of Parthia in a short ti?”
“Yes. After gaining my father’s favor, Jamir was able to interfere with the state affairs to so extent.”
And when Jamir’s power grew enough to counter Karim, the king’s condition worsened again as if it was a lie, leading to the current situation.
“There were so people who doubted him. But there was no evidence, and more importantly, nothing was found even after investigating.”
Eurius nodded.
“First of all, we need to find so way to catch his tail.”
“Do you have a way to do that? This capital is like my front yard, but I couldn’t find any evidence.”
“There must be a way!”
Eurius firmly refuted Karim’s words and opened his mouth again.
“If you have proper evidence, can you arrest Jamir with your power?”
“I’m afraid not. It might have been possible a while ago, but there are many clans who support him, so there will be a lot of resistance.”
“Then it’s troubleso…”
Eurius made a troubled expression. The Order was already hard enough to deal with. If Parthia’s forces also helped Jamir, it would be almost impossible to catch him completely.

But at that mont, the door opened and an unexpected news ca to Karim.
“Excuse . I have an urgent report.”
“What is it?”
It wouldn’t be such an urgent matter if it ca to this inner chamber of the palace.
Karim looked at his subordinate with a puzzled expression.
“Actually, Prince Jamir said he had sothing to say at the eting. It’s about the empire’s alliance request.”
Karim and Eurius looked at each other.
“What is he up to now?”
“Let’s go and see.”
A mont later.
Jamir was smiling brightly and giving a speech in the eting hall.
“What do you think is the reason why our Parthia beca so wealthy? It wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the guests from the empire.”
“So your opinion is to accept the alliance?”
Karim replied with a displeased tone to Jamir’s words. The people in the hall who supported him were also looking at them nervously.
“Of course! This is a matter related to national interest, so I don’t think my opinion is right without any doubt.”
Jamir replied cheekily and made a suggestion.
“Since His Majesty the King is not in a condition to make a decision on this matter, how about we decide in another way?”
“What other way?”
“I think we should hold a six clans eting to decide on such a big issue.”
“…!?”
“A six clans eting? Wouldn’t that make things more complicated?”
“But it makes sense in a way. If the second Prince and the seventh Prince have different opinions, there won’t be an answer, right?”
At that mont, among the murmurs, one hand shot up. The owner of that hand was Eurius.
“Since it’s an alliance, it’s my business too, so I have a question. What is this six clans eting?”
“Oh! Your Majesty must not know well.”
Jamir smiled and began to explain to him.
“You know that Parthia is a union of six clans, right? It’s a tradition that was created to diate conflicts among them.”
“diate? What do you an by that?”
“It ans that if the six clans decide sothing in a council, even the king has to follow their opinion without question.”
“Hmm…”
“There is a catch, though. You need the agreent of five clans out of six, excluding the Parthian royal clan.”
Karim glared at Jamir sharply.
‘What is he up to?’
Out of the five clans other than the royal clan, three were on Karim’s side and two were on Jamir’s side. There was no chance of a unanimous decision in this situation.
“That sounds like a good idea. It might be an interesting spectacle. I don’t mind.”
“It’s a proud tradition of Parthia! Your Majesty is truly wise.”
Eurius and Jamir were busy flattering each other’s faces.
Smirk.
Eurius sent a signal to Karim with his eyes. It ant to accept it.
“I don’t know if there will be any result, but do as you please.”
Karim also replied coldly to that signal and turned his body to leave the conference hall.
“My brother is very stubborn. Please understand.”
“I’m not offended at all. He seems like a good person after talking to him for a while.”
Eurius answered with a smile, but he was actually very happy.
‘He probably thinks he can get rid of in that six clan council or whatever it is. But will it go as he wishes?’
Rather, creating such an authoritative position was what he wanted.
‘That’s the first problem solved.’
The first problem was how to bring down Jamir, who had so influence in Parthia.
‘The important thing is the next plan, but I have to find a way sohow.’
The second problem was the power of the Order. It was a situation where a rather troubleso enemy appeared contrary to his expectation. He felt that it would be difficult to face him one-on-one right now.
‘It takes about a week for all the clans to gather, right?’
He had to find a way to catch Ismail or whatever his na was in the anti.
The next day.
“Did you call ?”
Jegal Geon, who ca after receiving Eurius’ call, was not in a very good mood. He had suffered so loss of inner energy, and he was also curious about the first prince.
“I have a favor to ask you.”
“Please tell anything.”
“Can you teach so martial arts?”
“What?”
Jegal Geon could only stupidly ask back.
