Episode 147
The 3rd Prince didn’t look like that, but he came for diplomacy.
The royal family, which has a good relationship with the empire but maintains a neutral, not hostile relationship, could not easily overcome this incident.
“That’s what happens in the end.”
The Count sighed softly next to him.
Was the inspection mentioned by the crown prince also burdensome for him?
“It’s going to turn right around.”
-Still, there is some time 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 something 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 me again.
-Raymond, I feel sorry for you a lot. If I had handled it better, this wouldn’t have happened.
“no.”
-It’s the same in this case. I’m so ashamed 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 me 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 come 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 memories.
‘There’s no way I can do it the way I want just because you ask me 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 me.
“yes.”
-Oh, and please take care of the Count. The fact that they showed up in our kingdom is nothing short of a shame.
“I’ll keep that in mind. “The Magic Tower has formed 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 moment.
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 me were stinging.
“I heard you found a warlock this time?”
“It would have been dangerous if you hadn’t discovered it.”
“Wow, that’s amazing. How on earth do you find something 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 came 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.
They showed open hostility towards me and pressured me to go back.
They complained in front of me and even showed an attitude of ignoring me.
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 came out, the more frustration and anger piled up.
I don’t know you as a coward who will back down if you scare someone.
It’s not that I didn’t know their situation, but I couldn’t just accept them ignoring me 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 momentum pressed them through my body.
The knights’ complexions turned pale and looked at me 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 me 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 something breaking.
“go away! “Don’t come in!”
An angry voice threatening to kill you if you come 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 meet anyone.
“I’m going in.”
So what do you mean?
Ignoring those words, I opened the door and went inside.
Whoa! Kwajangchang.
As soon as I opened the door, something 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 come 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, seemed 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 come.
Still, I was glad that there was a way.
“First of all, I’m sorry. I should have stopped the prince somehow, 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 seemed 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.
