“thank you! lily!”
“have a good meal!”
Ian headed to the town center.
And the place where Ian’s eyes reached was none other than the front door.
‘Is this what it felt like?’
Ian’s emotions as he looked at the front door were different.
a whopping 10 years.
He lived in this duke’s castle for 10 years.
But he had never felt this way before.
‘It’s magnificent. And it’s safe.’
The past self was different.
He remembers when he was insulted by other nobles for coming in through the back door.
I don’t know why, but the scene when the duke frowned.
It made a different impression on the front door.
‘I was scared. I didn’t even want to do business again.’
But is it because the beginning has changed?
‘The gatekeeper and the gates look great.’
So Ian smiled proudly and headed towards the drawbridge.
It was the central wall leading to the center of the village.
There he was crowded with many people. It would probably take quite a while to get through.
‘Because my face is not known yet.’
But that was then.
“Get out of here! Come, noble people!”
“!”
When the guard saw Ion, he immediately raised his voice.
At the gatekeeper’s words, people turned away.
It was a natural attitude, as if it were natural. At least people bowed their heads to him.
I wondered what had happened, but Ian soon found out why.
“It’s a knight, knight!”
‘ah. You’ve recognized Galon and Nathan.’
However, the guard’s eyes were on Ion.
“You have two knights.”
“!”
“I do not know which family he is from, but we welcome your visit. Come on, pass this way.”
He even greeted Ion with a respectful look. Perhaps Ian was not unusual.
And as Ion passed, people bowed their heads.
But it was then.
‘!’
Feeling Galon’s strange gaze, Ion tilted his head.laughed
“Galon? What’s wrong?”
“…are you okay, Prince?”
“What?”
“The other people bow their heads to the prince. Have you ever felt uncomfortable?”
“!”
The bastards Galon knew were like that.
I used to be unable to stand the sudden respect and courtesy of others. There was nothing far to go.
It has been that way since I was a knight.
‘I was ignored a lot because I was just a humble person. That didn’t change even if I became a knight.’
But the prince was different.
Even in this kind of situation, he has a casual look, or, rather than being casual, he looks more natural as it is natural.
It is by no means an expression that a former serf could make.
‘If it was acting, I would have already noticed it.’
But Ian smiled comfortably.
“Aren’t they all Korean people? It is not at all uncomfortable.”
After all, they are the people of our country.
Ian was already in a state of perfect awareness as a royal family.
‘Is this the one with noble blood?’
For a moment, he remembered the princes and princesses in the royal palace, and the dukes with the highest rank in the protocol.
It was still small, but it felt completely different from them.
It’s like saying that if there’s a real king, he’s like that.
But Ian just passed by Galon, who was making a strange expression. Somehow he seemed to know what he was thinking.
But he didn’t mind.
‘Galon was the duke’s most faithful servant. It takes more effort to make him mine.’
Efforts to make Galon his knight continued.
It is also part of that effort to show the dignity of royalty.
He had to work harder so that he could accept himself as his lord.
‘I don’t know yet how he can make him mine.’
But Ion held out his hand indifferently.
It didn’t matter to him now.
“How much is this?”
“Oh, I just need one dong.”
“Can you give me the number of people here?”
“It’s okay. I’ll give it to you right away.”
It was the first time in his life.
Buying and eating something on the street like ordinary people.
And Galon, who saw it, was looking at Ion with delight.
But it was then.
“Nari, take a look at this too!”
“!”
Ian’s eyes widened at the sound of a call from the side.
It was a street stall selling small daggers.
The furry-looking old man burst into laughter.
“The weapon I made. These are all works made with the family’s vision, so please take a look.”
“ah. I still need a weapon.”
As Ion picked up a weapon, Nathan quickly whispered to Ian.
“Just go. Yes, it is the work of a third-rate blacksmith. When I go to the castle, I will show you some wonderful places.”
As if hearing the whisper, the stall owner got angry.
“Are you done talking now? No matter how much you carelessly use the items that contain the vision of our family…
Instead of answering, Nathan waved the weapon Ian had chosen.
“Look. The center of gravity is a mess and the blade is not properly ground garbage. Are you asking me to buy a weapon like this with money?”
“········”
“In the first place, he couldn’t even pay taxes, so he didn’t even have his own shop. In this empire, it is the norm to buy weapons at weapon stores. If it was a useful item, it would have been sold in a store or not sold on the street.”
Ian didn’t like Nathan like that.
At that glance, Nathan immediately changed his words.
“How much is this splendid weapon chosen by the prince?”
“25 Eun Oh…”
“What?! You pay that money to buy this kind of garbage? Do you think that makes sense!”
“If you don’t want to buy it, give it to me.”
25 silverIt was the cost of living for several years of an ordinary family. Although it is not a burden to the knight, it is not the money to buy such a weapon.
It was natural for Nathan to be angry.
But it wasn’t Ian.
‘It’s definitely a weapon that won’t work on this continent.’
Ian did not know the blacksmith in front of him.
But I knew what this work was. A strangely misaligned center of gravity, a dull blade. Because that was the trademark of any weapon.
‘[Magic Sword] is certain.’
Ian’s eyes changed.
Certainly, in the eyes of the knights, the function of the sword was not a defective product even after washing their eyes.
However.
‘It’s a weapon that the wizards from the other continent will be amazed by.’
It wasn’t called [Magic Sword] for nothing.
A sword that is easy to contain magic, but is also optimized to use magic.
But when this blacksmith who made this inherited the vision of his ancestors. He wouldn’t have even heard of it.
Then it was clear what Ian was going to do.
“Sir Nathan. I like this sword.”
“yes? That shit… you’re going to buy this weapon?!”
In the end, Nathan said no, and it was time to stop Ion in a hurry.
“Sir Nathan! Sir Gallon!”
The two knights flinched at the familiar voice.
When he turned his head, a neatly dressed middle-aged man was approaching in a hurry.
Ian recognized him immediately.
‘Are you the second guy’s butler?’
Ian was interesting.
He was the guy who, as usual, should have been waiting for the ball to fill.
How did such a guy come out to the square?
‘Why did he come here?’
As I passed through the front door, the future was changing.
But it was that moment.
“The top plate looks good.”
“!”
A small muttering voice.
was the butler
It’s like looking at a person who is lucky enough to wear silver on the subject of lowly serfdom, which is said to be pragmatic.
It wasn’t a very good feeling.
‘But it’s the kind of gaze I’ve received often in the past.’
Soon the butler turned to Nathan.
He didn’t even say hello to Ian.
“The second master ordered the prince to come quickly. You are very angry because it is too late.”
Galon and Nathan frowned at his words, and Ian smirked.
Even though he was the duke’s son, he gave orders to the knights who had been duly appointed.
The knights were the ones who followed only the monarchs who appointed them.
The behavior of the second son now was clearly an act of extravagance.
Just by looking at Nathan’s face, he could tell what he was thinking.
‘Nathan is obviously the second son of the Marquis.’
Even the second son of the same noble family, the second one is random. The knights Galon and Nathan are not nobles with titles.
However, the two articles seemed to be unpleasant for different reasons.
“Bring the prince? That’s right, you have to tell the prince to go, so we’ll follow, right?”
“!”
The butler looked at Galon as if displeased with Nathan’s cold words.
“Gallon!”
“I also had a escort mission. Unless the prince who is the escort wants him to. I can’t move first.”
“Yes? So now you are disobeying the will of the second master…”
That was the moment.
visor!
The sword was pulled from Nathan’s waist. His sword was pointing right in front of the butler’s neck.
Nathan growled like a beast.
“Are you my master?”
“!”
“go away. Knights don’t listen to anyone’s orders.”
In the distant past, the oaths of knights were directed to the monarch, but now, the oaths of knights are directed to themselves.
The tip of the sword touched the butler’s skin.
It was natural for the butler’s face to turn pale.
But it was that moment.
“excuse me.”
“Yes, yes? Me?”
The butler was surprised to hear Ian’s voice calling out. I just looked down on youHe didn’t even realize he had said respect to Ian.
Ian didn’t care either.
“Can you buy me this? I don’t have money.”
“yes? yes?”
Ion held out his sword and looked at the shopkeeper.
“How much did you say this was?”
“25 is . . .”
“Is that so?”
The butler was bewildered.
“Oh no, why did I…”
It’s embarrassing that a knife suddenly appeared in front of my neck, but suddenly I’m asking you to give me a huge sum of 25 silver!
But I couldn’t help it.
“Give me this, and I’ll ask Lord Nathan to drop the sword.”
“!!”
The butler swallowed his saliva.
It was even more so because of the life of this frivolous bastard who would kill him if he didn’t pay for him right away.
But Ian smiled subtly.
‘He’s the second guy. After all, it must be a long time since I’ve seen you.’
The duke attaches himself to his entourage, and he’s one of those who sent him those damn clothes.
‘Shall we give education here this time?’
In the end, the butler, who paid the money, bowed his head and shot Ion.
Perhaps it was because of Ian’s eye-catching appearance, the butler became in a hurry when the villagers looked at him with laughter.
“Then… now that you’re done with your business, let’s go inside.”
To this, Ian answered calmly.
“Why me? There is still a lot to see.”
The butler swallowed the curse.
***
Have you been shopping for that long?
“Do you know what time it is now?”
The Duke’s second son, whom I met in the audience room of the Duke’s Castle after a long time, was very angry.
He had forgotten that Ion was a prince and was getting angry.
“Is it yours? Do you dare make the one who has been favored by your Excellency wait for the Duke?”
“for a moment! Bocchan, please fix it. The opponent is…”
“Does not matter. Isn’t he the one who hasn’t been officially certified yet? Anyway, you…”
However, Ion ignored the opponent and asked calmly.
“Who is this person?”
Galon answered the question.
“This is Heinri Berestroin, your second son, Your Majesty.”
“Isn’t this the Duke of Garcia?”
“Only the eldest son of the Duke of Garcia inherits the surname. He will inherit the title of another count.”
The guy called Heinli was a arrogant guy.
He treats Ian as a savage, and he dares not even apologize to them like this.
But that appearance was only temporary.
“Then it’s nothing?”
“yes?”
“Is that so? I’m a prince, but isn’t the author an ordinary person who is going to receive the title of earl?”
“No, of course you are right, but…”
However, Heinri could not stand it any longer.
No matter how much he was called a prince, he was not recognized as a prince unless he was certified by the king.
Unless there is an equivalent proof!
Unsurprisingly, Hein-ri walked out toward Ion with a buoyant flair.
“On the kiddie subject that hasn’t been proven yet!”
That was the moment.
Ian snorted and pulled out something.
“!”
Heinley, Galon and Nathan were astonished by the object.
I had no choice but to do so.
‘That’s…’
What Ian took out was none other than a necklace, a keepsake of his mother.
I lost it in the past, but this time I am definitely holding it.
Ian showed the crest inside the necklace to everyone.
“This is a token and a sacred treasure given to the Kaistein royal family. Will you doubt my existence even in front of this!”
Galon, Nathan, and even the attendants were bewildered at the sight.
At the same time, they immediately knelt.
It is an absolute symbol of royalty, something that cannot be replaced even by proof.
And in front of that token, all citizens of this Kaistein Empire must be polite.
But Hein-ri, who was bewildered,Courageously, he approached Ian.
“You damn serf! Give it up! Where did you casually create a fake……”
But that was then.
“The Duke is coming!”
“!”
He arrived at the audience.
