As soon as Asu arrived at the lord’s castle, he called a servant.
“Where is the butler now?”
“We are currently talking with merchants from Kaistein. Lord.”
“Then tell me to come as soon as the story is over.”
“Yes!”
The servant hurriedly ran out to find the butler.
Asus carefully opened her mouth toward Ion.
“If you wait a little bit, I will call the fortune teller through the butler.”
“If you do, it’s me, thank you.”
Ian readily nodded his head.
No matter how much you make a taboo fortune teller stay in the lord’s castle.
‘Do you trust the fortune teller that much?’
To be honest, Asus’ attitude was not typical.
Just like the fortune teller, he could tell just by looking at how he treated Ion.
‘Are these all confidential?’
As for the arrangement of the soldiers I saw as they entered the lord’s castle. Even the documents inside Asth’s office where he currently resides.
There were many secret contents that would be difficult if all were leaked to the outside.
But Asus had no hesitation in showing it to Ion.
Oddly enough, Ion asked.
“Why do you trust me so much?”
“Because you are a benefactor.”
As if it was natural, Asus nodded his head.
but Iandid not believe
“Do you think you believe too much to say that it was simply because you saved your life?”
Ian’s eyes were serious.
It was the 7th Prince, Arthur, who survived even when other princes were dying.
If he had survived to that level, he could never have been pure.
He was in a position where he could only survive by endlessly doubting the intentions of others and being careful.
So he asked sharply.
“By the way, I’ve been told that I’m a nobleman or a benefactor from a while ago. Why are you doing this to me?”
“that···”
Asu looked at Ion for a moment.
But he sighed and spoke in a quiet voice.
“Because of the fortune teller’s prophecy.”
“prophecy?”
“It was a prophecy that trouble would come to me today and that a nobleman would rescue me. He said there would be nothing to be afraid of if we were together.”
“What?”
“So I’m going to show you everything. I want to keep you by my side.”
Ion wiggled his eyebrows in surprise.
Do you believe the scammers on the street and do this?
Did Asus expect this too? shrugged his shoulders.
“Actually, don’t believe everyone. Somehow, I want to believe it.”
Ian asked in detail.
“Is that all?”
“Is it possible? It was also said that the noble person I will meet today will help me with my work in the future.”
huh?
Ian’s head tilted.
It was because he had no intention of helping Asth at all.
I’m just thinking of using it.
‘But if the fortune teller is right…’
Ars didn’t know if Ion’s plan would be more helpful than he thought.
That was when his eyes lit up.
Then a man approached.
“Did you call? Lord.”
He was a middle-aged man in neat clothes.
Asus gave up his naive appearance and asked with a determined expression.
“butler. Where is he?”
“Then… are you talking about a fortune teller?”
“okay. I must have told him to give me a separate room, right?”
“That… that.”
The butler was restless and did not know what to do.
After a moment’s contemplation, he opened his mouth carefully.
“The boss… kicked you out.”
“What?”
“We tried to stop him, but we were told that he was misleading the prince with special words… we had no choice but to do it.”
“her···”
Asus looked at Ion and was bewildered.
The expression that I didn’t know it was going to be like this.
He hurriedly bowed his head.
“I’m really sorry. I don’t know if this would happen… …I’ll find it and let you know right away.”
“Hmm···”
Ian thought for a moment.
Are you going to go find the fortune teller like this? if not either.
‘The guy named Sang. You continue to annoy me.’
How about dealing with the guy who’s going to be a problem?
Then I saw a name that immediately came to mind.
He was called Leonick’s right hand in his previous life and was a man who ascended to the throne of Cantum.
Sang Aaron.
There was only one reason why Ion remembered his name now.
‘It must have ended badly, right?’
He was executed immediately after Leonic became emperor.
Because he was sneaky and well-crafted, he was framed by his opponents and dealt with.
‘Maybe it was because Leonic didn’t need to decorate the dark world anymore as an emperor.’
He might have been to remain a clean emperor.
In any case, he was entangled in various corruptions and bribes and became a filial piety.
So Ion asked Asus as if he was genuinely curious.
“But it’s been weird ever since. Why do you keep letting the statue be installed?”
The same was true of ignoring the 7th Prince, the master, in front of soldiers and people.
but permanentRefusing the command of the lord from within and acting as you please.
“The 7th Prince, you must be the lord of this castle?”
It was not just a scarecrow or a prince, but seven princes who owned her territories.
How could such an Asu do at least one subject?
It’s weird no matter how you think about it.
At Ion’s question, Asus sighed.
“I have no choice. He’s like a gyeruk.”
“Gyereuk?”
“Obviously it has to be dealt with, but it’s too powerful to deal with.”
Ash explained slowly.
“He is the one who laid the foundation for the development of this estate. I just let the plan go.”
Of course, permission was not easy.
From allowing transactions with foreign merchants.
As far as handing out some of the authority that had been granted only as a lord so far to merchants.
From https://noblemtl.com
Most of the policies were very unconventional in the current Cantum.
But the results were truly outstanding.
“At least, it is his merit to have a regional relay city this big.”
“If that’s all… can we stop dealing with it now?”
“That’s right. But… his family is the biggest problem.”
Sang is one of the former lords of this estate.
At the very least, it was a faction that followed Leonic in the past.
“Because I need a cause.”
However, there is also the reason that the one who followed the former Crown Prince Leonic will follow.
He was also close with the lords of this area and had a deep connection with the Tohos within the territory.
In fact, even if the soldiers don’t know, most of the guards and officers are to the point of following the prize more than Asus.
Asus put on a sad expression.
“That’s why the people in the territory followed my policies without any problem…”
“From now on, the dog you raised is trying to take over the owner?”
“It’s embarrassing, but that’s the situation right now.”
“It’s fun.”
Ian was making a really funny expression.
But his mood was getting dirty.
He had no choice but to do so.
‘Duke of Garcia. Is he kind of like him?’
It was because of his still life and déjà vu.
‘There is nothing worse than being stabbed in the head by someone you trusted.’
Of course, it was different from the time of Duke Garcia.
Even if Asus believes in the award, or if he gets hit in the head, he won’t feel the same way.
But now the problem.
‘It means that I feel dirty too.’
A fortune-teller is also a fortune-teller, but I felt like I had to deal with a guy named Sang.
Because even for his plan, I can’t see a rat that bit its owner.
Ian raised the corners of his lips.
“Then do this.”
“yes?”
“I’ll clean up that guy named Sang.”
“What is that…”
Ash’s face hardened.
He said that it wasn’t because he himself couldn’t do it because it was difficult.
“You can’t kill that guy yet. He has several policies that he has not yet implemented . . .”
“He has no intention of killing him, is he?”
“yes? So what are you going to do?”
When Ashu asked the question in bewilderment, Ion gave a smirk.
“If the rats run wild without knowing up and down, wouldn’t it be enough to hold the reins properly?”
There has been such a saying since time immemorial.
A mad dog is a hawk medicine.
Ion gripped the handle of the royal treasure sword.
“If you are right, you will know everything. Who is above?”
“!”
“So, just give me a seat. After all, I will take care of it.”
That moment.
Asth’s eyes drew a half moon.
‘After all, this person is…’
It was said that he was a nobleman to help him.
That was then.
“Oh! So where’s the fortune teller? He saw him before he dealt with him.Would you like it?”
Asus quickly responded to Ian’s words.
“I will find out right now.”
And then he ran right away.
He was frivolous, hardly the lord of Santamo, one of the great estates of Cantum.
But his face was shining brighter than ever.
*
bang!
Sang slammed the table in his office.
The faces of the soldiers standing next to him hardened.
“Ah. Where the hell did he come from?”
“That’s good for us too.”
“If you who followed the prince don’t know, who knows!”
The statue kicked the soldiers’ legs.
puck!
“Sin. I’m sorry.”
The soldiers were kicked in the shoes of their coats and were in pain, but they couldn’t even make a scream.
It was because he knew his character.
‘If he makes noises for no reason, his personality becomes more dirty.’
‘If I wasn’t the lord’s son…’
‘What should we do when we see those who have fallen from the sky?’
But the anger didn’t stop there.
Clearly, it was a golden opportunity to deal with Asth.
But it’s getting in the way.
“It’s almost over. At least… that damn little kid got in the way.”
The problem is that this isn’t his plan.
Sang clasped his hand harshly.
“Everyone get off! Because I don’t even want to see you!”
“Sin. I’m sorry.”
The soldiers rushed outside.
He said he didn’t know what he would see if he stayed here longer.
That was then.
Someone appeared from the shadow of the office’s office.
“Why is the 7th Prince still alive?”
His voice was so cold.
But Sang was rather annoyed.
“That’s what I want to ask!”
Sang stared at him with his eyes burning with anger.
“If you could send it out, you would have said that they would take care of it, right?”
“There were disruptors.”
“That’s your case. I must have kept my promise.”
In an instant, the atmosphere became cold.
The man touched the sword on his waist and opened her mouth.
“Is it difficult to keep coming out like this? Do not forget that you betrayed your lord.”
“What? So what are you going to do?”
“We can announce your betrayal from our side.”
Despite her man’s cold words, Sangsang’s face did not change.
Rather, he snorted his snort and looked at her man with sharp eyes and said.
“Both this guy and that guy are funny and sarcastic.”
“what?”
“Is the 7th Prince an idiot? Don’t you know that I’m a traitor?”
“What is that…”
“He knew it from the start! The reason I couldn’t fly is because my worth is still higher than that!”
“!”
Her man widened her eyes as if in surprise.
She found it strange by boldly writing her hand on the traitor theme.
Is it possible that you are even reading the thoughts of the 7th Prince?
The award was much better than they thought.
However.
“So what are you going to do? At this rate, the Crown Prince will not forgive you.”
“Who is the Crown Prince! There is only one Crown Prince, Leonic-sama. What happened to the topic that came up briefly while the Crown Prince was away…”
“····.”
In an instant, the atmosphere became brutal.
It was because of her man’s anger at her attitude of insulting her own master.
She had an attitude that would draw even a real sword.
But if you think about it, you push her breasts in a way that tells you to do it.
“why? stab? did you stab Then your handsome 2nd Prince will miss another golden opportunity to kill the 7th Prince.”
“····.”
“Then will the second prince really leave you alone? I don’t think your neck will be safe either? Would you like to hang my neck if necessary?”
“…”
The man clenched his teeth.
But the prize is rathereyes lit up
“Anyway, I’ll make another seat for you.”
“Seat?”
“Let’s do this right. Wipe it out completely.”
“!”
The goal is to celebrate the 7th Prince’s birthday party soon.
At that time, the 7th Prince and all his followers were to be wiped out.
“That would make you in trouble. The stigma of being a traitor…”
“I do not care.”
“What?”
“This Santamo is only for Prince Leonic. This is the territory I raised, but I can’t put it in the mouth of the 7th Prince, right?”
Sang’s eyes gleamed with life.
“If you understand, call your lord immediately. Send the soldiers.”
“If you spend a lot of money, you will surely be found out in front of the city gate.”
“I will take care of that. Instead… it would be better to organize the 7th Prince for sure this time.”
“I promise.”
“Promise is bullshit. give unconditional results. If you let me down any longer, holding your hand will be a no-brainer. Then others will let you go.”
“···. i get it. Be mindful.”
The two men exchanged glances.
Their eyes were obviously using each other, but their eyes were shining as if they were not going to lose to each other.

Ian got out of Yeongjuseong and walked down a dark alleyway.
In front of him, the person sent by Asus carefully guided him.
“This is it.”
“Are you really here?”
“According to the people on our side, they say they are hiding here. Avoiding your eyes.”
It was definitely a place to avoid.
Because it felt like a gutter in an alley full of filth.
It was so dirty that even soldiers could not easily enter.
Did you go in for that long?
“This is the house.”
At the guidance of the man, Ian entered the house.
OK.
“yes?”
The man who was guiding him disappeared.
And he appeared not in a lonely house in a dark alleyway, but in a strange place.
It was like an abyss, where darkness fell.
“Where are you?”
Ion’s face hardened in the veil of darkness that covered the surroundings with soft smoke.
He grabbed the handle of his sword at the same time.
“Who is there?”
It was because he felt popular in front of him.
And at that very moment.
“You are finally here.”
When the darkness subsided, only one man appeared.
He was covering his face with a gray robe.
Soon the man bowed his head and opened his mouth.
“I have been waiting for a long time.”
“Who are you?”
he was at the same time
Oooh!
Ian’s heart, which has been beating continuously since arriving at Santamo, trembled greatly.
And the man also had a thin smile.
“My name is Yunseul. He is the one who will guide you along the way.”
