footsteps were heard
But Ian didn’t move.
Instead, he grabbed the handle of the sword he was holding with both hands.
At that moment, someone opened the door and came in.

For a moment, Ian’s cold eyes drew a semicircle.
there is no choice but to
“Brother!”
It was due to the fact that the visitor was his sister, Saint.
She ran quickly and hugged Ian in her arms.
“Aren’t you with your mother inside?”
Ian’s voice was quite soft.
Had his knights been here, he would have been terribly surprised.
Especially if it was Nathan, he might have made fun of him by asking how he could be so kind.
But Ian had no choice but to do so.
‘Compared to this guy, my suffering as a serf was nothing.’
As soon as he was born, he lived alone, away from his parents.
As he grew older, he was raised as a bred by Cesare before he was even made a saint. He trembled at the thought of his name.
And until his mother was taken hostage and forced to work.
Of course, the biggest reason was something else.
“Isn’t it nice to be hugged like that?”
“yes. It’s nice that your brother’s arms are so warm.”
The saint smiled happily in Ian’s arms.
It wasn’t just acting to please him, it was a smile full of sincerity.
she had no choice but to
The moment her saint touched her stranger, she read her fate, regardless of her will.
The problem is that when that happens, that person’s fate is fixed. She was a saint and she always had to avoid contact with people.
She grew up not feeling the warmth of others all her life.
But Ian was different.
“Hello, are you okay?”
“yes. Brother. No fate can be read.”
“Isn’t that a problem for you?”
“There seems to be no such thing.”
Is it because they are brothers born at the same time together?
She couldn’t read his fate, no matter how much the saint touched Ian.
She also said to Ian
And also to the ladies.
In a way, it was bound to be a blessing.
Ian hugged him more painfully because he was such a younger brother.
But she smiled brightly.
“I am really fine. Now I have a mother… and an older brother.”
What really surprised her was her mother, Layla.
Like Ian, her sister could not read any fate from her mother. Maybe it was because of Ian.
Thanks to this, Elina was able to comfortably hug the two of them.
And it was then.
juggling
There were footsteps outside.
Ian placed her hand on Elaina’s head.
“It looks like a guest is coming.”
“Then I’ll stay by your side.”
Elina’s expression turned red.
She hurriedly hid behind the chair where Ian was sitting. It was out of the way, but it looked like he was trying to hide.
Seeing that, Ian smiled bitterly.
‘You must have noticed that His Majesty might be coming.’
Elina lived her whole life unaware of the existence of her father.
So, even if I steal this opportunity, I want to see him.it was clear
But no one knew if he would ever come.
‘A king knows the heaviness.’
Because he knew he was never going to be rude.
How much less was the king of Elaine in his previous life said this.
[There is nothing more insignificant than a king, who should always be on the side of the cause, to make a wrong decision by leaning towards his private family.]
[So I cannot hand over the throne to a light person like you.]
It wasn’t just words.
King Elaine did not show a single tear in the death of the first princess he loved or the second prince who was his successor.
That was then.

When the door opened, Ian was startled.
It was similar to the royal robes, but everything was black. At least his face was covered with a black cloth.
Although he was not a king, Ian was startled by an unexpected person.
‘Black Lions?’
If the Blood Lions are the armed forces of King Elaine, the Black Lions are the secret escort knights who act in the dark. They were the ones who were for the king of Elaine in the darkest place.
There wasn’t even one.
Jerk! Jerk!
‘The fact that there are three members of the Black Lions, with only twelve members in total, are coming. Should I be embarrassed by this?”
Regarding the personnel of the Black Lions, it was a secret that was revealed in the distant future.
It was difficult to pretend to know now.
But at this time, they are coming to you.
Then a man stepped forward.
“I will greet you. Seven Princes lowered.”
“You?”
“The three seats of the Black Lions. My name is Lawrence.”
“Umtina of all 7 seats.”
“12 seats.”
Um Tina did not see her face because she was covered with a black cloth, but she looked like a woman.
The guy in the back didn’t reveal his name at all.
If it were another royal family, there would have been an uproar, but Ian didn’t care.
These guys were capable enough to be rude.
If they went to another country, they could be treated as counts as well as marquis. However, I heard that they were all those who swore to follow after being defeated by the king.
Ian took it out of the main topic.
“So what are you guys doing? I have nothing to do with the Black Lions?”
“I have come to deliver a message from Your Majesty.”
For a moment, Ian’s face hardened.
If the king, who was supposed to come in person, sent a message without coming, it was because there was only one reason.
just as expected.
“Your Majesty has told me that you cannot come. So he told me not to wait.”
Ian’s eyebrows twitched.
“The fact that you have come means that you know about your mother and younger brother. Did you mean that you didn’t come anyway?”
“Please understand your Majesty. Lowering. It is a law that the most supreme in a country cannot take a step recklessly.”
Lawrence had a teasing tone, as if provoking Ian.
However, Ion smiled brightly on the contrary.
“If that’s all you have to say, you can stop and go back.”
“Yes?”
Lawrence was outrageous, but he didn’t show it.
“There is one more thing.”
Lawrence pointed to the two knights standing behind them.
“These are the knights who will take care of Queen Mama and the three princesses in the future. For your safety, you have ordered a nearby dark escort.”
“Who’s order?”
“Of course, Your Majesty.”
The eyes that think that Ion will accept the king’s command as a matter of course.
But that was a huge mistake.
“Don’t refuse. My mother and sister will now be protected by me.”
“Are you going to break your Majesty’s orders? Your Majesty the Queen Mama and the three princesses…”
“Who wants to be a queen and three princesses?”
“yes?”
“Go away. And tell your Majesty If you want to see it, please come in person. no, just sleepI wouldn’t covet a throne that even God’s wives and children couldn’t protect. No, tell them that I would rather take two of them and go to Bahara.”
“!”
Lawrence’s mouth widened uncontrollably. Because no one came out like this against the king.
It was the moment he was about to ask.
“Sir Gallon!”
Heaven and earth shook at Ian’s one word.
thud!
Galon appeared in an instant, and Ian gave the order without delay.
“I heard that a guest is coming, so please welcome me.”
“number of people.”
Gallon pushed the three away with a strong momentum.
Lawrence exclaimed with an urgent hand.
“Are you really going to disobey His Majesty’s orders?”
“Your Majesty was the first to disobey Heaven.”
Lawrence screamed urgently as he was being dragged away by Gallon.
“That… then. Let him do his job.”
“That guy?”
What Lawrence pointed to was the one who pointed to himself as 12 seats.
“He is the most outstanding of us. I don’t know the queen, but the three princesses should definitely be protected.”
“Not the author. Umtina, who had 7 seats earlier, must have been a woman? Wasn’t it an unwritten law that her woman was in charge of her bodyguard?”
“That… but. He has the best escort skills among us.”
12 Seok was a man whose physique, let alone his face, could not be seen properly.
However, as much as he felt, he was comparable to Duke of Lavaltor as well as Gallon.
Ian nodded his head.
“If it’s just one person… that’s fine.”
12 Seok nodded his head toward Ian.
He seemed to thank King Elaine for granting him a request.
That was when Lawrence and Umtina were kicked out.
sniff
Ian could feel Elaina weeping behind her back.
He sighed.
‘I can’t help it.’
He seemed to feel abandoned by his only biological father.
That was then.
‘!’
Is it not that Elina, who was quietly weeping behind Ian’s back, went out?
“Elina!”
Ian tried to catch him, but to no avail.
Perhaps it was sad that King Elaine did not come to see him.
The 12 seats also tried to follow in order to chase Elaina.
But Ian caught him.
“for a moment!”
“?”
Then he spoke in a voice colder than ever.
“Don’t follow me. father.”
“!”
“What I allowed is the 12 seats of the Black Lions. Not Elaina Kaistein, Elaina’s father.”
At those words, the 12-seok body froze for an instant.
“What do you think? You show up like that.”
With a cold gesture as if he did not know what he was saying, Ion pulled out his sword coldly.
“If you’re going to keep cheating like that…”
shudder!
“I must inherit the throne from this place.”

“Where is your Majesty at this important time?”
“I do not know. You said that the meeting was going to be closed for a while… Why didn’t you come back?”
While King Elaine, who had just been conducting the meeting, was absent for a while.
Kaistein’s ministers were really outraged.
I had no choice but to do so.
“Shouldn’t the competition be over soon?”
“Iknow, right. It seems like the win is too close. I don’t think we need to waste any more time on selecting a successor.”
“I think so too.”
Everyone was thinking of Ion.
Haverion as well as Cardinal Cesare’s work.
There were many nobles and ministers of the kingdom who saved their lives in the process.
That’s not enough. stillSo far, Ian has brought Kai Stein’s benefits to not just one or two.
“No matter how you look at it, it seems that the next successor is Prince Ian.”
“sure. He is the only one who can save our lives and return the glory of an empire of the past.”
At this point, even nobles who supported other successors had no choice but to reconsider.
“Princess 1 has been pushed back a lot, haven’t you?”
“You call it a word? Now, who can stand up to the 7 Princes?”
There was no one who could be called a competitor of the present Ian.
To the extent that even the factions supporting Princess 1 thought differently.
“And isn’t Princess 1 aiming for her Kantum?”
“It seems that you are aiming for Kantum rather than Kaistein’s throne.”
“If she 1 princess becomes Empress of Cantum, and she becomes 7 princes our king . . .”
“That huge land will be put under Kaistein’s name.”
“The Bahara is our land. Isn’t it like the birth of a truly huge empire?”
Bahara and Kaistein, and even Kantum.
At this point, it could grow into a great empire that could threaten other empires along with the Holy Empire.
Besides, so did the other successors.
“I can’t even figure out where the three princes went…”
“Princess 2 has already turned her course towards Prince Ian.”
She has 2 princesses already on Ian’s side and she never came out of the Bahara.
Rumor has it that she was acting as Ian’s agent, running the entire state of the Bahara.
Although she still had 4 princes left.
“It must be difficult to aim for the throne with the power you have now.”
“Certainly because of the lack of power. What will happen if you join forces with the 3 Princes? Wouldn’t that be impossible?”
Not to mention the fact that the 5th Prince Haverion had no place for the 6th Prince to return.
It was Ian’s solo stage.
Now there was only one thing left.
“Why is the senate, who has to prove Prince Ian’s successor qualifications, so quiet?”
“Iknow, right. I wish your Majesty would make the announcement sooner rather than later…”
“Let’s get in touch with the Senate as soon as possible. Hesitating any longer is not a good option for this country.”
The eyes of the nobles began to gleam.
“Come on, let’s talk to His Majesty.”
“No more competition is a waste of time.”
So it was time for the nobles to raise their voices as if they were frustrated.
“Your Majesty is entering.”
As usual, King Elaine with indifferent eyes appeared.
Then he declared as if he understood the hearts of the nobles.
“Listen to the 7th Prince Ian Kaistein.”
It’s a resolute look with a determination to make a decision on the succession now.
All the nobles bowed their heads in unison at those eyes.
“I will take orders.”
