Episode 147
The 3rd Prince didn’t look like that, but he ca for diplomacy.
The royal family, which has a good relationship with the empire but maintains a neutral, not hostile relationship, could not easily overco this incident.
“That’s what happens in the end.”
The Count sighed softly next to him.
Was the inspection ntioned by the crown prince also burdenso for him?
“It’s going to turn right around.”
-Still, there is so ti left before they go, so it would be a good idea to prepare until then.
“That’s right. I’ve dealt with them more than once. “It’s just frustrating to have to see that face again.”
The Count said sothing harsh that he usually did not say.
Are inspectors that much to be feared?
Since I had experience dealing with auditors at the academy, I couldn’t understand why they reacted this way.
-We apologize in advance for their rudeness.
“no. You have done enough. From now on, this is a problem we will have to solve.”
-Thank you for thinking that way.
The crown prince spoke to again.
-Raymond, I feel sorry for you a lot. If I had handled it better, this wouldn’t have happened.
“no.”
-It’s the sa in this case. I’m so ashad of myself because the crown prince can’t even solve this problem on his own.
“….”
– Can I ask for one thing like these drumsticks?
“tell.”
I nodded and he gave a faint smile.
-Take care of the 3rd prince. I will delay the inspectors’ visit as much as possible, so I hope you can help the 3rd prince co to his senses so he can return before they leave.
“Hmm…”
I couldn’t answer that question quickly.
Bringing the 3rd prince to his senses was a different matter.
The reason the 3rd prince went insane was because of the warlock.
The main attacks of the warlock’s magic were curses and hallucinations.
The curse and hallucination stimulate the other person’s trauma.
It destroys a person’s mind by forcibly bringing out the most fearful, sad, and angry mories.
‘There’s no way I can do it the way I want just because you ask to do it. It would be faster to ask a priest to solve the problem.’
In that direction, it was quickest for a priest to step forward.
The sacred power used by priests can curse and cause damage to undead.
It also stabilized and strengthened a person’s mind and body.
However, it was also difficult to reject the crown prince’s words.
“I will try my best.”
-That answer alone puts my mind at ease. Please take care of .
“yes.”
-Oh, and please take care of the Count. The fact that they showed up in our kingdom is nothing short of a sha.
“I’ll keep that in mind. “The Magic Tower has ford a chase team and dispatched it, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
-I will only trust you, the Count.
With that, we lost contact.
The Count buried himself on the sofa for a mont.
I closed my eyes and raised my hand to press my forehead.
“I’ll just go now.”
“okay.”
I left the office without even opening my eyes, leaving him behind.
The gazes of those around were stinging.
“I heard you found a warlock this ti?”
“It would have been dangerous if you hadn’t discovered it.”
“Wow, that’s amazing. How on earth do you find sothing like that?”
As I listened to them, I felt embarrassed and hurried back to the bedroom.
Saek-.
I saw a hatchling sitting in a basin full of ice on the bedside table.
It was coiled like a snake and breathing heavily.
It was a side effect of Yongeon.
The rebound ca because I was forced to use the term in my still inexperienced body.
There was no visible damage on the outside, but the inside was quite damaged.
The good news is that the dragon’s unique regenerative power and strength are quickly restoring the body.
Hatchling had to endure the heat and pain that occurred during the recovery process alone.
There was nothing I could do.
All I could do was periodically change the ice to cool down the fiery heat of my cold body.
“It was hard, though.”
Since we used sothing that wasn’t supposed to be usable as a shortcut, we can consider ourselves fortunate for this.
It was a sha that I couldn’t do anything because he did it for .
“Is Raymond in there?”
“Ah yes. “I’m going out.”
While she was staring at the hatchling, the Count ca and knocked on the door.
I quickly opened the door, got out, and closed it.
“Are you going to visit the prince?”
“…yes. That’s how it should be.”
As I nodded slowly, the Count handed a small lamp that fit comfortably in my hand.
When I asked what this was, he said as if it was nothing.
“It is a lamp with magic that calms the mind and body and removes curses. It will be helpful, so turn it on when you et the prince.”
Although it was nothing special, it was quite different.
Thinking about the magic that went into it, it made realize that the value of the lamp in my hands was not small at all.
It had such features that when it ca up on the auction house, everyone would want to buy it by offering a large amount of money.
The fact that he gave sothing like this so casually made realize where his position was.
‘Seeing as it contains only things that will be helpful to the prince, I think he made it himself.’
Aside from ntal and physical stability, it was clear that the magic used to lift the curse was aid at the 3rd prince.
Since the warlock has caused ntal exhaustion, it is not a bad idea to suspect a curse.
Among the curses, there were curses that did not even affect mana.
“I will definitely give this to him.”
“Good luck.”
The Count returned with a look on his face that said he had finished his work.
His face looked old, as if he was paying too much attention to it.
***
I headed to the building that the 3rd prince uses as his quarters.
The knights of the empire were busily moving around him.
Their faces were filled with worry as the 3rd prince stayed in the room and did not co out.
“Hey, hey…”
“What? “Why is that guy here?”
They glared at .
So of them even ca and blocked my path to where the 3rd prince was.
“Let’s go back. “The prince is not in a position to see anyone right now.”
“It happened because of soone… tsk.”
He showed an attitude of blatantly ignoring in front of , but I endured it.
It wasn’t that I didn’t know their feelings.
It was true that he followed and that happened, and it was also true that I failed to protect him properly.
From their point of view, having to protect their owner, they would be angry that their owner was ruined without their knowledge.
Because it felt like I was the cause, you would want to shake your fist at right now.
Nevertheless, the reason I remain silent is because I know that I shouldn’t do that.
“It’ll be just a mont, so co out.”
I said it as politely as possible.
Although I didn’t like their behavior, there was nothing good about conflicting with them.
Especially when the atmosphere was gloomy like now, it was best to handle things quietly.
“Didn’t you hear ? “Didn’t you say no?”
“Please go back.”
The knights’ faces distorted.
“Haa…”
I sighed, feeling like I couldn’t avoid colliding with them.
Yes, I know that feeling.
I feel angry because it seems like my owner got hurt because of .
Still, if you tolerate it this much, it would be nice to avoid it without notice.
“Okay, co out.”
I started to get annoyed by them continuing to ignore what I said and blocking my way.
It’s not that they don’t understand what you’re saying, and even if you try to move on quietly, they won’t let you do so.
“I didn’t like it from the beginning.”
“There are degrees of ignoring us. “They’re treating it like it doesn’t exist at all.”
The knights scattered around ca rushing in and surrounded .
They showed open hostility towards and pressured to go back.
They complained in front of and even showed an attitude of ignoring .
I think he thought that if he did this, I would step down.
‘I’m starting to get a little heated.’
I can’t be that good of a guy.
The more they ca out, the more frustration and anger piled up.
I don’t know you as a coward who will back down if you scare soone.
It’s not that I didn’t know their situation, but I couldn’t just accept them ignoring like this forever.
“Move.”
The aurors began to move turbulently.
The energy flowing from my body mixed with the aura and spread out in all directions.
“…!”
Count Warrug’s montum pressed them through my body.
The knights’ complexions turned pale and looked at with disbelief.
I hesitated –
I started to move and they took a step back.
Even though it is an imitation, it is the power of the Sword Master.
There was no way it would be easy to bear it.
It may have been natural for them to take a step back.
I passed them who were making way for and stood in front of the door where the 3rd prince was.
Knock knock.
When I knocked on the door, I heard a hoarse voice along with the sound of sothing breaking.
“go away! “Don’t co in!”
An angry voice threatening to kill you if you co in.
Knock knock.
“Fuck off!”
Whenever I knocked on the door, I always heard swearing from inside.
He gave off a strong determination that he didn’t want to et anyone.
“I’m going in.”
So what do you an?
Ignoring those words, I opened the door and went inside.
Whoa! Kwajangchang.
As soon as I opened the door, sothing flew out and hit the door, breaking it.
It would have been a little dangerous if the door had not been closed quickly.
When I looked at the floor, I saw a glass bottle containing flowers.
“I shouldn’t co in…!”
The 3rd prince stopped shouting and then closed his mouth.
When he saw my face, his face turned pale and he quickly got into the blanket.
“Get out! “Because I don’t want to see anyone.”
As I just looked at him who shouted like that, I soon heard him sobbing.
I quietly walked next to him and placed the lamp on the bedside table.
Click.
Light began to radiate from the lamp, brightening the dark room warmly.
“Black…”
Is it because of the effect of the lamp? The 3rd prince, who had been crying for a while, seed to calm down little by little.
“Are you okay?”
“…yes.”
Only then did the 3rd prince answer.
I spent an hour with him. Without the lamp’s effect, there was no way to talk to him.
I really had no choice but to call a priest and wait for them to co.
Still, I was glad that there was a way.
“First of all, I’m sorry. I should have stopped the prince sohow, but I couldn’t. “If I had stopped it, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“….”
The 3rd prince was speechless.
The warlock’s incident must have been such a shock that it seed difficult to escape the shock.
“How are you feeling? They say you’re not feeling very well. “If you find it difficult to speak, I will leave now.”
“….”
He still didn’t say anything.
He said he didn’t want to talk, but it was impossible to get him to talk in an awkward manner.
“Then I’ll just turn around…”
As I was about to turn and leave, he grabbed my collar.
