CH 65

Episode 65

The suspicious man led me out of the banquet hall.

With two heads taller than me, a lean body, and a voice that seems to contain the reverberation of a lion revealing its teeth as a warning.

There was no threatening movement, such as grabbing the wrist or taking a combat posture, but he was a man who looked very overbearing.

‘Who the hell is he?’

Whenever the man walked, I thought of that, looking at the hem of his robe that swayed lightly.

Every time he walked, I could see the golden button hidden in his robe flashing.

In the distance, no one would have thought of the button.

But I saw a sentence engraved on the button.

A tiger showing its teeth and roaring, followed by a sword and shining cane crossed with an X.

It was the sentence of the Tigris Empire.

‘But the other palace wizards don’t hide their identity, so why is he so wrapped up?’

The palace wizards, who were sitting in the VIP seats, wore the same clothes they wore when they worked in the palace.

Even the 7 Imperial Family members did not hide their identities.

Only this person did not show himself to the outside.

“Let’s talk here.”

The place where the man finally stopped was on a sparse terrace.

The sound of the leaves rubbing in the wind was heard, and the outside scenery was hard to see due to the thick fog. Only the full moon, rising high in the sky, was shining a faint light.

Somehow nervous, I swallowed my saliva and stepped toward the terrace.

“Do you need to get out there? I’m gonna talk to you here.”

Looking back, the man stood leaning against the wall by the entrance of the terrace, hiding in the dark.

Still, he wore black clothes, but in a place where there was no light, I could only see his nose and mouth.

‘What, why is he so suspicious?’

I was sung there, and I wasn’t very pleased with his order to talk here while he talked there.

I heard that there are a lot of geeks among the people involved in the Imperial Palace, so it seems to be true.

Among them, there was a high probability that he was a wizard.

Unfortunately, he is a person who can influence my future contacts.

“Yes, then as you wish.”

With that said, I, too, do not go out on the terrace and are in the dark.

Still, it was not without light at all, so as time passed, I began to see my eyes little by little.

The figure of the man standing against the wall was also roughly visible.

“I’m sorry, but may I ask what you’ve called me for?”

The man snapped at my remark.

“You want to ask me first? That’s pretty bold as I heard.”

“Yes?”

Surprised by the strange sarcasm of speech, I asked back.

“You seem not afraid of me, are you?”

As he said so, the man slowly removed himself from the wall.

Then swinging his black robes, he approached me step by step.

It was a really, strange person.

‘what… .’

Every time he approached it, it felt like the air was clamping my neck.

‘No, he’s a palace man. he’s from the palace–‘

Then, I should look good on him.

It would be better to leave a good impression as much as possible in the future.

I didn’t want to do that for some reason.

I wanted to take out the blue flame and put it on his body, and light up this darkness.

The distance between the man and me is now less than a meter.

There was a warning in my head.

One step closer then I’ll shoot.

At that very moment, the man stopped walking.

“No, are you scared?”

My eyes glared at the sharp-pointed words.

I looked straight at him, clenched my fist in my hot right hand as if it would burn at any moment.

“Why should I be afraid of you?”

For more,

It was a voice that resonated like thunder.

Perhaps if I hadn’t been obsessed with annoyance and anger, I would have shuddered in front of him.

“Didn’t I tell you? If you leave me behind, you’ll regret it dearly.”

His words lit a flame on my right hand.

Unfortunately, the man stepped back as soon as I activated the flame magic.

“You, what are you?”

“I repeat, you’ll soon regret doing it this way.”

“Who are you to keep saying that? I’d rather fight back and regret than hear that from a suspicious person like you.”

At the moment, the man’s laughter rang out in the hall, where there was no one.

“I would have thought so, too.”

Raised the temperature to make a blue flame.

I was going to shoot him as soon as he moved a little.

“You said that before, right? Why should you be afraid of me, because I’m the one who can achieve what you see is impossible.”

What is he talking about?

“Now, look, who I am.”

Thanks to the blue flame on my hand, I could see the face of the man who had taken off his robe.

When the piece of black cloth that was covering more than half of his face disappeared, the first thing I saw was none other than golden eyes.

“Uh…”

The man with golden eyes, just like Cassius’s, said, fluttering his red hair.

“My name is Iker Tarnalea Tigris.”

His golden eyes shone in the dark.

“The crown prince of the Tigris Empire.”
