Chapter 2.1 - The Fifth Prince of the fallen Empire (2)

Note: Splitted the 2nd chapter because it got 30 pages. Each part got 10 pages.

“I didn’t even feel a slightest hint of his presence…….”

The 5th prince is said to have no power over them, but is he this weak-willed? However, considering the setting of the Royal Guard, it may be natural. All of them possess supernatural powers.

“I am a Royal Guard from the first platoon, Nice meeting you.” (I got confused on this part because he introduced himself as first royal guard so I initially thought he was the captain but reading the story, the captain never left the emperor’s side so change it to First platoon royal guard.)

“I am also pleased to meet you.” Raymond replied with a nod.

“Because It was a sudden, I couldn’t follow the protocol. I was sent here to pick you up, so if you are angered, please let it down.” the Royal Guard said with his head slightly lowered.

Even when other princes come to the palace, they won’t bother to prepare the protocol, but what’s the difference? It’s just lip service.

“Quite angry, this notice just came suddenly. Anyway, never mind that part.”

‘It’s not that I care.’

Before Coming here, the royal guard made some changes to his personal assessment of the fifth Prince. He looked a little surprised, but he didn’t see him clearly because he was covered in with a helmet.

“I’ll take you to the dining room.”

“A Royal Guard as Guide……. This is very reassuring.”

Raymond said with a smile on his face. It wasn’t sarcastic, it was actually pure joy.

The voice of the fifth prince, who was full of energy, spread a smile on the lips of the royal guard.

Of course, he wasn’t seen because of the helmet.

“Yes, Your highness the fifth prince. I’ll protect you even if the assassin pops up right away.”

“The shield of the imperial family will never be breached. So I’m relieved.”

What’s the point of being attacked at the palace in the first place? Still, a bright smile spread to the face under the helmet of the Royal Guard, as Raymond smiled and thanked him purely.

Even if it’s just a word of goodwill, having this conversation with the Royal Guard itself was not a bad experience.

This isn’t the previous fifth prince in front of him now.

“I will protect you even if an assassin from the kingdom of Edgar, the kingdom of night, comes at you, fifth prince.”

There is a three-nation alliance who is hostile to the Pilias empire, but it is not possible that the best assassin class of this time, Harsha Xin, is here?

Although this empire was falling, it is still an imperial palace deep within the Imperial City.

‘It’s never gonna happen.’

There was absolutely no way it was going to happen.

***

“An Attack!”

“The palace has been attacked!”

“Royal guards, the Emperor!”

The empire seemed to have fallen far earlier than Raymond thought.

“Oh, my….”

He managed to bear the thought of swearing.

It’s been 5 years since he had seen the Emperor’s face, and he couldn’t believe that this would happen.

I’m unlucky enough to have no luck.

But he was just a little embarrassed, not scared.

This is because if he recalled what was written in the book, it is clear that most characters do not lose their lives here.

Above all, the fifth prince, Raymond Pilius, survived the attack on the banquet hall at the beginning of the first volume.

Of course, he loses his life with other royal families at the climax of the first volume where there was a massacre, but at least he will not die yet.

“The knights must protect His Majesty the Fifth Prince!”

The imperial knights, who followed him as attendants shouted at the top of their lungs, drew their sword and surrounded Raymond.

Raymond was embarrassed by the sudden change of situation and tried to open his mouth.

“Is this a royal family? I’m quite lucky.”
