Chapter 499

My villains episode 499

interlude. Prince’s Legacy (3)

The number of knights under Prince Ulkar is twenty-four in total. Excluding those who lost their lives during the war, sixteen remain.

Considering the fact that Prince Eun is considered the greatest warlord in the kingdom, it is not a very large number. Of course, each of the knights had excellent skills, so it was rare for anyone to look down on their strength just by looking at their number.

However, even among them, there was a clear difference in skills and prestige.

Based on the seventh knight, Phoenix, the first six met Ulkar in the royal capital and in the central and northern parts of the kingdom. It was a case of recognizing the prince who was just developing his talent and swearing allegiance. ‘The Wave That Crashes’ Langboldt ‘The Giant’ Anki Le ‘Arrogant’ Liam ‘The Viper’ Ariad ‘The Painter’ Filter ‘The Birdhawk’ Gisela. All of them are high in ignorance.

Seventeen, later than Phoenix, the knights, now reduced to nine, joined Ulkar when he was staying in the southwest of the kingdom and raising his army. There were excellent knights in their own right, such as ‘Diredog’, Ojori, ‘Drunken Sword’, Hendry, and ‘Shining’ Ballsom, but compared to the previous eight, they were clearly inferior.

According to these circumstances, after Count Ines and other lords left the tent, six knights of the silver prince and the young imperial concubine sat around the table.

Ruyan, who took the place of Gisela, who remained in Direnz, did not budge even from the secretly gathering gazes.

Now that he has become the lord of the land occupied by Prince Eun, Lu Yan is also on the same boat. Ruyan and the knights were aware of this, so they didn’t say anything.

After the rest of the knights, battle mages, military priests and officers adjusted their seats, Phoenix opened his mouth.

“You haven’t said anything since before.”

His black eyes scanned Langbolt Ankyr Liam Ariad Filter one after another. His gaze softened considerably, whether it was because his emotions were settled after the lords left, or he was looking at those who could be called real comrades.

“...What can I say?”

Putting a hand on his forehead to shade his face, Langbolt opened his mouth.

“I don’t know what the wonder wants of us, but we’re—or at least I’m finished.”

“Sir Langboldt.”

“I will leave. That’s how you decided.”

“Where?”

“With an overlock. I will join the return of the Iron Fleet.”

Overlock is the capital of the Southern Shore region in the eastern part of the kingdom.

In addition, it was also the place where the Southern Shore owner, the Earl Shore family, took root.

“I decided to inherit the family.”

“...What do you mean? Sir Langboldt is the second son.”

“My older brother is dead.”

“Yes?”

“I heard the news last fall when I went to ask my father for the Iron Fleet. It is said that the ship was wrecked by a storm during the voyage and returned as a blown corpse.”

At the story he heard for the first time, Phoenix only opened his mouth.

“Oh, I’m sorry. I had no idea.”

“I told you. I only found out about it when I went to Obirok.”

“Ah...

“The reason I shook off my tearful mother and her retainers without hesitation was because there was something more valuable here than overlock.”

The red knight was silent and the blue knight continued to speak softly.

“Not anymore.”

Prince Eun first went to the battlefield at the young age of 17. He rode his horse to rescue his half-brother in trouble and shot six arrows down the seven riders.

He held out his quiver to the admiring knights and said:

‘I put all the blessings and luck given to me. Take one and follow me.’

The knights who received the arrows charged after the silver prince and broke the enemy.

The blue knight was one of them. However, he did not return with a souvenir of victory like other comrades. He returned the arrow to Prince Eun and even offered the sword.

Langboldt seemed to add something, but kept his mouth shut. It was as if I was letting go of my anger, which I didn’t know where to go.

This time, Ankir, who was sitting next to him, spoke up.

“I’m leaving too.”

“You mean Whitestone?”

“The prince isn’t there, so who’s in charge?”

Silence fell among the knights, and Gilbert muttered, scratching his head with his hand under his hood.

“All of the officers and noncommissioned officers have deputies, but the captain didn’t have anything like that.”

Lang Bolt, who was slumping on his back as if answering the grunt, offered his opinion.

“Is there anything special? The soldiers will disperse after distributing the remaining military funds and loot, and the prince’s property will be sent to the royal capital.”

“Sir Langboldt.”

“What are you talking about, Harold?”

When the old officer called out his name as if moaning, the blue knight narrowed his brows and pressed his temples.

“Do you want someone to take your place?”

“Shouldn’t we inherit his will?”

“Who dares to say that? Me who has no sense of responsibility? Or the indecisive Ankyr?”

“Indecisive? Are you done talking now?”

“no! You haven’t even started yet!”

Standing up from his seat, Langboldt looked back at his colleagues one by one with a sharp gaze, as if telling them not to dream.

“Blind Rebel Sioux? An illegitimate child living for my taste? A kinslayer?”

He unleashed the ferocity of the first knight of the Silver Prince. However, neither Ankir nor Lyam Hilter were far from the perpetrators.

“So are you done now?”

“Both be respectful! What ugliness is this!”

“Ha, there are still people who believe that nonsense.”

As if not paying attention to the three knights, Langboldt quickly turned his head.

“How on earth can these kind of people take the place of Your Highness!”

The last thing his gaze reached was Phoenix.

“I bet you

don’t think you can!”

“...Uh well.”

At that lukewarm response, Langbolt’s face twisted viciously.

“A murderer who enjoys blood, and a shady author who hides more than a dozen secrets in a slut!”

Langbolt ended his shouting with a murmur mixed with laughter.

“Are you replacing him? Don’t joke.”

Phoenix opened his mouth with a confused face.

“...I didn’t know Sir Langboldt, but I have a good eye for it. It looks like the epigastrium has become concave.”

“pit of the stomach?”

“yes. pit of the stomach.”

As if to prove his point, he gently touched his stomach.

“And judging from how everyone is doing, it would be better for me to take charge of Prince Eun.”

“...You must be full of energy. I really can

replace Your Highness.”

“what?”

Phoenix looked up at Langvolt, who narrowed his forehead, with a calm face.

“Stop whining and sit down and listen.”

The gazes of the two knights intertwined in midair. For a while, Langboldt’s eyes slowly sank as if they resembled his opponent’s.

“Whoa.”

He sighed deeply and sat down on the road.
