[what. This sound. Hey, what happened? Where did you deal with the guy called the little brother who rolled over?]
The communication area rolled exactly at Ian’s feet.
But for Ian, the voice coming from there was more important than the communication area.
‘ah. I thought it was Lavalor’s assassin. Was he the culprit?’
Ian smiled as if it was ridiculous. He knew who this voice was as soon as he heard it.
He had no choice but to do so.
‘This madman has been trying to kill me ever since.’
Alberto Kaistein.
He was Ian’s half-brother and second prince.
At the same time, he is a prince who is fully supported by the Duke of Lavaltor, and is the closest man to the current throne.
‘No, it’s called close.’
Because he has Laval Thor, one of the two great dukes of the Empire, as his guardian.
Thanks to his authority and halo, there was no one who did not know his name, not only the nobles, but also the common people.
Even after the death of the first prince, who was closest to the throne, there was no doubt that Alberto would succeed the crown prince.
But Ian knew.
‘This is a mad tyrant.’
With the face of Seong-gun, he was more vicious than anyone else.
Rather, he is the closest to the throne, and there are others who are the most difficult for him to claim the throne.
Of course, that didn’t mean that the 2nd Prince was easy.
‘It’s not like he was chosen by Lavaltor for nothing. He’s the most dangerous guy at this point.’
From https://noblemtl.com
Most of the bloodlines of Kaistein, the empire of swordsmanship, were excellent in combat skills.
Especially among the royal families, the second prince is the Laval of the Armed Forces.He was such a bold fighter that he was favored by Thor.
That said, he’s been sending assassins to his brother since then.
‘Perhaps the sneak attack in the future was not Lavaltor’s will, but the prince’s personal assassin.’
That made a really big difference.
La Valtorga is a military god family that follows strict chivalry based on iron rules.
He extremely hated being out of order.
So he actually didn’t know at the time, but he later found it strange.
That such a great family raised filthy and deadly assassins.
‘Is that why you had more fights with Garcia and Lavaltor then?’
The Duke was angry that Lavaltor had sent an assassin at the time of the proof, but Lavaltor was angry that no matter how much he wanted to win the succession war, he told him not to make up a story that didn’t exist.
The king also became uncomfortable, and the relationship between Duke Garcia and the king deteriorated for a while.
The problem is that even he, who was brought from Garcia, spit sparks.
‘It was a bit of a pain for me to be stamped by the king.’
And at the time, I thought Lavaltor was going to miss it.
‘Maybe the second prince secretly raised an assassin under the Lavaltor family.’
It was the most powerful family in the empire.
As many knights were produced, there were also many apprenticeships.
There were a lot of excellent lumber, so better quality assassins must have been born.
Even in such an anxious situation, Ion raised the corners of his mouth.
‘If the second prince made an assassin and moved without Lavaltor’s knowledge.’
Even if he did something to tarnish Lavaltor’s honor.
‘If we do well, we can send the second prince to the goal.’
He didn’t know if he could topple the most powerful candidate for the throne right from the start. Then a voice was heard from the telecommunication station.
[No. 23. Can’t you hear my voice?]
A relentless yet cold voice calling his subordinates by number.
But Ian quickly picked up the communication tool.
Nathan flinched at the sight.
“uh? Wait a moment······”
Ian’s mouth opened before Nathan could dry it.
“Are you the one who sent this garbage?”
[!?]
A moment of silence came.
As was the case with the man on the other side of the communication channel, Galon and Nathan also stopped for a moment.
Apparently, Ian didn’t know how to speak directly.
But Nathan couldn’t stop Ian.
‘If you intervene now, please don’t give this information to the enemy.’
It seemed to be the same idea beyond the communication channel.
[It’s fun. Did you kill #23?]
Ion narrowed his eyebrows at the voice that felt even alive because it was not fun.
The opponent is one of the six king’s children called the ‘Mad Dog’.
How he speaks will completely change his future.
However, the intention of wanting to know this information somehow was playful.
Ian answered calmly.
“It’s alive. why? Would you like to dispose of it instead?”
Nathan was terrified.
No, what the hell was that kid thinking about provoking the person who was trying to kill him…
But, unexpectedly, laughter was heard from beyond the communication area.
[He’s a funny guy. okay. Please dispose of it instead. Garbage that does not complete its mission must die.]
“great. It’s annoying to get my hands dirty, but I can do it anyway. Instead of paying for the hard work, shouldn’t we reveal the name of that person?”
The communicator’s voice was quiet for a moment.
And Ian saw it.
The figure of the half-hyung who snorts as if it’s not funny.
just as expected.
“Or should I introduce myself instead? The 2nd Prince of Kaistein Empire, Alberto Kaistein?”
[!?]
In an instant, a gasp was heard.
At the same time, the man’s voice changed.
[Who are you?]
In the voice that was languid as if lying down and talkingthe day has come His name could never come out of the assassin’s mouth.
Because I put such a restriction on it.
But does he know about himself?
The second prince’s vigilance rose sharply.
Even if he didn’t see it, it seemed like he was good, and Ion laughed leisurely.
“Why does this body have to give a name to a coward who can’t even see his face? A prince who pretended to be a saint and sent an assassin to someone else’s house behind the scenes?”
Vicious laughter was heard from beyond the communication channel.
[The direct family of your duke. Maybe that bastard… is Heinri Garcia?]
Ian raised the corners of his lips.
He did, just in case, to imitate the tone of the servant Lee, who tormented him as a child. I hope the 2nd Prince will even misunderstand you.
Ian decided to use this thoroughly.
“The person who was going to be the next king refused to practice basic etiquette. Dare you just call the name of the youngest member of the kingdom’s first family?”
[Do you know who you are playing with right now?]
“Who are you, His Majesty the Second Prince?”
Ian laughed as if shedding ridicule.
After all, Prince 2 can’t reveal who he is. It was like revealing to himself that he sent an assassin.
So, Ian continued talking leisurely.
“is not it? Seriously, there’s no way someone who becomes a second prince would send an assassin like this and say something so vulgar. For a person who is mentioned as a Crown Prince, there is no sense of dignity in his voice. so.”
At the same time, Ion brought the crystal ball closer to his mouth.
As if to listen straight ahead.
As if he didn’t want to say that he couldn’t hear it because his voice was low.
just as expected.
“Wash your neck well and wait.”
For the first time, Ian did not contain Lee’s tone of voice, but his own sincerity.
“This time you sent an assassin, but next time I will cut your head myself.”
That was a declaration of war.
Ian’s eyes flashed in the darkness.
But Ian laughed as if he had ever done it.
“Oh, the prince we are in charge of. He is much more worthy of the throne than an idiot like you. So don’t even dream of succession to the throne and goodbye, you assassin you don’t know who you are.”
[this······
Ian didn’t wait for the second prince’s story any longer.
instead.
Kwajik!
After dropping the crystal ball, I immediately trampled it.
The crystal ball shattered at his foot soon lost its light and disappeared. The voice was no longer heard.
Galon, who was stunned by the sight, ran to him in surprise.
“Prince! Are your feet okay?”
His face was worried that he might have been injured by stepping on the shards of the broken crystal ball.
Ian answered with a calm face.
“it’s okay. Because I was wearing shoes.”
Ian was wearing shoes on the bed in case the assassin was attacked.
However, Nathan approached Ion, saying that there was nothing more terrifying and trembling than this even in his younger days.
“Why the hell did you do that? Seriously, if he was the second prince, he would definitely take revenge on the prince…”
“Is that so?”
“yes?”
Ian smiled a happy smile.
The 2nd Prince is typically a human with a different front and back.
‘Anyway, the second prince can never reveal his affairs today.’
If there’s a possibility, it’s about secretly killing Hein-Lee.
‘The duke can’t stand it.’
No matter how stupid, Heinli is a direct descendant of the Duke. He never lets him die so easily.
Even the prince will avoid shaking hands to kill the duke’s son.
Duke Garcia, the most resourceful person in the empire, will surely find the culprit.
If caught, he will suffer the most.
‘Even if you choose to harass, the duke will never look good.’
Whatever the case, the 2nd Prince is backed by Garcia and his foe, Laval Thor, and the duke finds himBecause there is no such thing as a successor.
‘Because the duke hates the second prince.’
Anyway, no matter what method he tried to use, the duke had no choice but to oppose the second prince.
That was Ian’s plan.
And, perhaps seeing the deep fighting spirit hidden in those golden eyes, Nathan could not continue his words.
There seemed to be no question as to why Ion, who had been using a gentle tone of voice, suddenly used a frivolous tone like Hein-ri.
‘Communications do not convey the voice perfectly. The opponent will be mistaken for Heinli with a high probability.’
And Ian was looking at Nathan like that as if he was surprised.
‘I didn’t know you would come here without even training for a knight.’
Aside from Gallon, my knight and general manager, Nathan must have belonged to another commander.
‘Is it worth using with a gallon?’
Because two knights were perfect for his early power.
Of course, there was work to be done before that.
“Oh! The assassination attempt that took place here today is a secret between us. Do you know?”
At those words, Nathan sighed and pointed to the side of the stunned assassin.
“Then what is this?”
“yes?”
“When did you install such a dangerous thing? Even these pieces of equipment… are like items from our knights’ weapons warehouses….
Ian smiled brightly.
“Is that also a secret between us?”
*
Kwak!
in a dark closet.
There, the crystal ball that was shining alone was broken.
A pair of crystal balls was smashed.
The man who saw it burst out laughing in dismay.
“Did you just hear what he said?”
The second prince doubted his ears as to whether he was being ridiculous.
The remarks he threw at him were also vulgarities, but above all else.
“Your younger brother, who doesn’t know where he rolled and ate. You say you are closer to the throne than me?”
The 2nd Prince had the Duke of Lavaltor as his guardian.
True to the name of the armed forces, a place where knights with strong positions within the kingdom gather.
Even the military power was on his side.
“Even the commander of the Royal Knights is following me… What? A little boy who was just a serf will defeat me and ascend to the throne?”
It was the first time in his life that the 2nd Prince had been provoked like this.
Even more so compared to a little boy who has nothing but the support of the Duke of Garcia.
The second prince growled in a low voice.
“I have to deal with it right now.”
“But… Your Majesty. Obviously those 7 princes…”
In the prince’s eyes, the masked man in the dark corrected his words.
“The serf and ex-poor Cheon-chul will definitely get rid of them at the proof ceremony.”
Still, it was clear that the royal family would be overturned by the appearance of a new prince.
‘It must have already been heard by the king, but soon the Duke of Garcia will send an official foreword.’
He noticed the Duke of Garcia, who was the most dangerous, too, and noticed it early, but it was already said that the 7th Prince would come to the capital after a month.
‘Originally, you should have come to the king right away, but before that, it must be the duke’s intention to remove the stains of serfs.’
No matter how royal blood was, Ian was a serf.
Of course, there is no way the duke would bring a fake in the yard where there is a pedigree. Even if he was a prince, he would be a slave at a level that could not be compared with his other heirs.
For that reason, it must have been that month that the duke delayed the proof ceremony and got it.
At any rate, it must be a ploy to provide basic education as much as possible during that period, so as not to show a troublesome appearance at the proof ceremony.
‘Yeah, he must have been a lowly serf. Do you think he can pretend to be educated for just one month?’
What about the other deficits in just one month of training that took decades?
I made a mistake and froze, so nothingI wouldn’t even be able to
But do you dare compare yourself to that kind of person, who is the enemy’s successor?
“It’s ridiculous.”
“majesty······”
The 2nd prince arose.
“Tell the Duke of Lavaltor. Please give me some useful articles.”
“then······”
“The duke’s immediate family will also participate in the ceremony.”
Then you have to deal with it all.
But, before that.
“Prepare to go out.”
“Yes?”
“I want to see the face of the younger brother whom he praised so much.”
