Chapter 156

Episode 156:

The time has come for the 3rd prince to return to the empire.

He had been there for almost a month.

Although the first few days weren’t great. He was a fool and there was no one who could say anything to him because he was surrounded by the empire.

Nevertheless, the reason the vassals and knights were able to endure was because they had been trained through Raymond’s foolish actions.

It wasn’t a good thing by any means, but it was right to see the benefit of it.

When dealing with a fool, all that was needed was ignoring and neglecting him.

So from that first day onwards, everyone except the maids ignored him.

Only the maids under him suffered from him.

‘People changed in the middle.’

The third prince lost his temper after the humiliating sparring, but later his behavior improved to the point where it could be said that he had changed as a person.

He didn’t act like a fool anymore and didn’t even speak informally.

Rather, I felt very humbled.

In addition, after participating in all the training, I opened my heart to him a little towards the end.

Just when it seemed like we could get closer, the date for his return was set.

Although they were pretending not to be the case, the knights were a little disappointed.

Would a knight of that kingdom be able to train with the prince while laughing?

That time felt somewhat refreshing to them.

It was bad when I came, but at least it will be good when I go.

Perhaps, if he had maintained his original appearance, he would not have been able to expect a good send-off.

Just when I thought everything was going smoothly, I encountered a slightly embarrassing situation.

“...Are you serious?”

“yes.”

When the sun rose in the sky and we were taking a break after eating, Daria came to visit.

I couldn’t believe my ears as she approached me with a determined expression on her face and opened her mouth.

“Are you sure you want to go?”

“yes.”

She was still adamant.

She nodded firmly even to the second question.

‘What on earth happened in between?’

Her actions were sudden and, above all, extremely dangerous.

Not to me, but to her.

“It means that you will follow His Highness Vaan to the empire.”

“yes. “I think that’s how it should be.”

Accompanying with Baan.

She said she would go to the empire with Baan and become his strength.

I was amazed at her decision to go to a place full of danger everywhere.

Her self-esteem was so low that it was difficult to put it in a good way.

Even though things have gotten a little better recently, it wasn’t to the point where he could risk his life.

“Have you been threatened?”

“no. This is my decision. “It’s a decision I thought about over and over again.”

I thought it was a threat, but it wasn’t.

So what on earth made her like this?

Unable to survive in the royal family, she turned to Millennium.

The imperial family was more dangerous, not less dangerous.

Because it has tremendous power, it is natural for those who hold that power to be threatened.

There was no way she didn’t know that.

“If you go there, you will no longer be able to receive my help.”

“I know.”

No matter how much I thought about it, it was strange.

I wondered if I had missed something. What on earth made her like this?

‘She is greedy.’

Then, one thing suddenly occurred to me.

In the original, she wanted to become king and created her own kingdom.

And although it was only for a short period of time, it was even elevated to a great power.

If you think about it, it was simple.

Her greed did not disappear.

Although it was suppressed by the pressure of those around it, it could not be made to disappear.

Rather, the more you stop and block her, the more you add fuel to the fire of her desire.

I forgot. What a greedy character she was.

In the beginning, I only remembered her appearance and erased her true personality.

“It would be very dangerous to go there. “If you do something wrong, your life may be at risk.”

“yes.”

I thought for a moment as she nodded resolutely.

Mahol looked at me with his mouth closed.

“There is only you. “Only you can do the job of blocking threats in Daria’s shadow, and only you can trust me.”

“....”

“Can you do it?”

“yes.”

Mahol answered more calmly than expected.

He nodded, saying it wasn’t that difficult.

Then I made eye contact with him.

There was no emotion in his eyes, so I couldn’t read what he was thinking.

“thanks.”

“no. “I can do anything as long as I can return the favor.”

With those words, he returned to the shadows.

Even at that moment, I didn’t feel that he was returning until he completely disappeared.

His ability to hide was horrifying, but that made me even more unable to trust him.

If he stays with her, her threat is greatly reduced.

“Raymond...”

“You don’t have to say anything. “I’m sorry because this is all I can do for you.”

I bowed my head slightly to her.

It was her personal decision, but it was true that I benefited from it.

More than anything, it was I who brought him closer to Baan.

She’s not stupid, and the reason she made that decision after hearing about my plan is because, in addition to her greed, she also wants to help me.

“And if you have time, would you like to go out with me?”

“yes? Ah yes.”

Baan’s return date was tomorrow, and the only way to do something for her was now.

The place we arrived at was the Wild Dog House, a place hidden in a slum.

“If my eyes are not wrong, this person is....”

“This is Princess Daria.”

“Hi! Wow, meet the princess!”

William hurriedly fell down.

Daria was embarrassed and stretched out her hand to help him up.

William made a dazed expression at the touch.

That expression was so funny that I laughed a little behind her.

No matter how much we research the royal family or the royal family, how many times do we actually get to see the royal family?

Moreover, it is strange that he would not be embarrassed if the royal family personally helped him up.

“Uh, that. “This is...”

William looked back at me, hoping for an explanation.

It’s been a while since I’ve been embarrassed, so I wanted to tease him a little, but since the situation was situational, I got to the point right away.

“From now on, you will be this person’s information book.”

His expression changed in an instant.

He listened to my explanation with a serious face.

“That’s interesting. Very good.”

After listening to the end, he nodded with a strange smile.

There was excitement on his face that couldn’t be hidden.

“Actually, I was wondering how far my information could affect me. “This is great timing.”

‘Crazy guy.’

He was crazy.

He heard what she and I were planning, but instead of being nervous, he saw Daria as his experiment.

So it was more reliable.

He was a guy who would do anything for his information, and he handled the tasks entrusted to him reliably.

“You heard everything about the situation and what did you think?”

His eyes shining unusually as he looked at Daria.

***

The day came when Baan left.

Daria will personally leave the count’s house and accompany him.

“Thank you so much.”

“No, it was an honor to be able to serve His Highness the Prince.”

Baan, who had had a formal conversation with the Count, approached me.

“I will never forget this grace.”

“Good luck to you, Your Majesty.”

I gave him a sly smile.

That’s how Baan left the count’s family.

I thought the Count’s family would be quiet for a while as the person who was like the core of the storm disappeared.

“Where is Raymond Millennium!”

The thought disappeared within a day.
