Episode 53. what are you doing don’t come in

“Hey, what is all this?”
Karan was terrified of the paper Ian held out.
It was natural.
On the paper Ian held out, numerous purchase lists and plans were written on it.
That, too, costs a lot of money.
“Explosives for a large harpoon. Do you even ask the artisans there? What the hell is this…”
“What is it? It is something that Confucius Karan should buy for the imperial envoy to come soon.”
“Saodani… Ah, rather than that, what are you going to treat the Shinigami now?!”
dragon meat?
A monster that even veteran hunters called dragon hunters can’t even catch properly?
No, actually, this was a problem before that.
“How about the exam!”
“ah. And the university will send someone soon. Prepare your room. Please do some cleaning.”
“Lowering! It doesn’t matter now, is it?”
At those words, Ian frowned slightly.
“Then what is important?”
“Of course this is the Crystal Palace! I have to pay salaries to the servants first……”
Then Ian let out a light laugh.
“Because it’s okay. Didn’t you say that I have a great source of money? They say they give you a good price.”
With those words, Ian looked at Count Arya.
Count Arya drinks teaHe was waiting for Ian’s words.
So Karan was ridiculous.
‘Did it really mean that you had a source of money?’
Sure enough, that woman was a faction of the First Princess.
In a word, it meant that he was a nobleman trying to bring down Ian.
But can you solve Ian’s financial problem?
‘That prince, didn’t you deceive and threaten me?’
It was because the skill of making fun of the tongue with the innocent-looking little boy’s face was not quite common.
And as if reading that expression, Ion frowned.
“I don’t know what you are thinking. You know you’re making a very rude face right now?”
“Cool. Ah, no…but this is still the amount…”
Karan clicked her tongue at the estimated spending on the paper.
It was the equivalent of a thousand gold.
But you accepted this crazy amount at once?
“Yes. All loans are indefinite, interest-free, and without conditions. Thankfully.”
“???”
It is even said to spread.
So Karan was confused.
‘If this is possible, he may have the financial power to threaten Garcia.’
This was something my father didn’t expect. He had never heard of the Arya family possessing such wealth.
But instead of notifying his father, Karan looked at Ian with an anxious expression.
what was expected I got rejected by my father, and I have to deal with the matter urgently.
Prince Tan-e must have given trust to a nobleman who brought good conditions to his innocent heart.
“It seems that the prince is still not familiar with the lies and blasphemy of the nobles, but this is a trap. That woman is the enemy! You must never skip it! ”
At that, Ian smiled instead of answering.
Because it reminded me of what happened ten minutes ago.
*
The time was when Count Arya Lees fiercely raised his sword.
Sensitive to the duke’s name, she rushed to Ian.
However.
wiri rik
“Damn!”
Ian’s cloak wrapped around the dagger. Thanks to this, Count Arya, Aniris, who eventually fell with his hands tied tightly to his horse, bit his teeth.
But like that or not, Ian laughed.
“Why all of a sudden?”
“Why? How dare you call me a member of a family who has committed the sin of destruction. Even a prince cannot forgive me!”
“The reaction is too radical for something like that. What if I get stabbed?”
“that···!!”
“It is a treason in itself to bring a sword to the royal family. Am I wrong?”
At those words, Reese sharpened her teeth.
she had no choice but to
‘Why the hell are you doing this? I’ve been strangely unable to control my emotions since before…!’
Ian was intrigued by the sight.
Because it was obvious that her
‘Come to think of it, I think I’ve heard that
It was similar to hearing that there was a relationship between the top and bottom even within the seven main lines.
But yes or no. She looked at her Ian with her lively eyes.
“Even if it’s the 7th Prince Je-ha, trying to threaten the traitors by using the names of the traitors, I can’t stand it…!”
Ian clasped her hands and smiled lightly.
“Because I don’t. You said I was the lord of the line.”
“Who the hell is Line?”
“It is said that the Rhine is the only survivor of the Adriatic family, the son of the now extinct duke.”
“··········!”
Reese froze at the words that fell from Ian’s mouth.
tremblyShe seemed to doubt my ears.
“What… such absurd nonsense!”
“You can’t do it if you don’t want to believe it, but he’s really alive. He almost died a while ago, but he survived with proper treatment.”
Reese’s eyes fluttered uncontrollably. A look that will never happen.
But she soon took hold of her fluttering heart, and bit her lips tightly.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“Come to think of it, Line said something like that. I’d nurture her strength for revenge for her parents and sister. That’s why I’m attached to the Gerrard mercenary corps.”
“Gerard?”
As the name Eris trembled slightly, she raised the corners of her lips as if Ion had been waiting.
It must be a name that Phil knows for sure.
“If I knew Gerard, the story would be quicker. He was obviously a mercenary with ties to the Duke of Adria.”
“her. Who knows the name…”
Then Ian took something out of her arms. From that day on, he was always with him.
And the moment he took the object and brought it to Reese’s tied-up face.
Reese flinched.
Ian’s golden eyes widened.
“It was something I received as a thank-you at that time. Is this going to be evidence?”
“···!”
What Ian saw was nothing but a small potion bottle.
And that was none other than a potion bottle gifted by Gerard. Of course, it wasn’t the potion bottle that mattered, but the sentence drawn on it.
A turtle with two snake heads.
Each signifies wisdom and knowledge, and it was the emblem of the Adriatic family that promised to carry on it forever.
“You can see for sure that it’s not a fake when you look into those eyes.”
But Reese bit her pretty lips fiercely.
“Maybe the prince killed him and got what he got.”
At those words, Ian stood up as if tired of it.
“good night. The truth is, Gerrard, who was captured by me, begged for his life, told about the duke’s son and offered a potion.”
“!?”
“Would it make you feel better to say that?”
Ion’s eyes looking at Reese were very cold.
“Well, you are free to believe or not, but the man you know, Gerard, must have been a man who committed such disloyalty that he sold off the children of those he served and lost his potions.”
Ian stood up as if it was no longer worth fighting for.
“It’s good to go back. I don’t know what kind of guts the woman of the family who was destroyed is standing next to the royal family.”
He beckoned to the cloak, trying to get Reese out.
But that was then.
clink.
Finally, the dagger Reese was holding fell.
And then a trembling voice was heard.
“My little brother. Is Royne really alive?”
It was a slightly watery voice.
There was confusion, but when he heard that voice, Ion smiled quite warmly.
“I swear by my
And at that moment,
And then, with his head bowed, Reese clenched his lips, drop by drop. He shed invisible tears.
Although he believes in the royal family in front of him, he knows in his head that he should be suspicious and wary of everything. His mind didn’t seem to mind.
Seeing that, Ian smiled softly.
“If you help me, I’ll help you meet Rhine, or Royne.”
“········· Is there a way for me to meet?”
But Ian smiled as if it was nonsense.
“Isn’t it easy to find? After being targeted by Garcia once, she said she would hide behind her. him nowAll I can find is me.”
“Why?”
“Gerard and Rhine swore allegiance to me.”
hawk, swear?
Reese put on her bewildered expression, but Ian put a wedge on her.
“Can I help you anyway? Of course, the money should be borrowed for free.”
Reese immediately let out her smirk as if it was outrageous.
Even in this situation, the prince threatening me was exasperated, but that didn’t matter.
‘If my brother is really alive…’
Reese’s eyes changed.

and presently.
Karan, who did not know such a fact, stopped her Ian.
“Are you listening? This is a trap. You should never trust that Count. It must be a trick of the 1st princess.”
But Ian only smiled instead of answering.
If he digs a trap, he’s in a position to sell himself.
“Okay, Confucius Karan does as it is written. Shouldn’t we be feeding the hyenas who dare to aim for the Crystal Palace?”
“No, I see. But even if that were the case, this wouldn’t be an amount that you could get right now for a thousand gold coins…”
Even Garcia’s third son couldn’t say that the amount was enough to make him flinch, Karan looked at Reese and bit his mouth.
However, Ion smiled as he looked at Arya Lees.
Because he had already heard of the source of her confidence in her.
‘The Arya family is a secret family created in preparation for the destruction of Adria of her intellect.’
All the goods, knowledge, materials, and manpower hidden by Adria, the family responsible for the founding of Aryan, were gathered. It may be less than Garcia’s financial resources, but like a duke family that had only three, an enormous amount of wealth was sleeping.
And, after the fall of the duke family, maybe there was something that I grew up on my own.
At the same time, Reese, who decided to trust Ion, said.
“Don’t worry about money, you just have to take the exam.”
Ian smiled contentedly.
*
A few weeks have passed since Ian and Count Arya Lees met.
And finally, the day of the final examination, not long before the exam.
Slowly, under the pretext of helping Ion, the brothers and nobles who came to steal the Crystal Palace could not hide their embarrassment.
It was natural.
“How the hell did this happen? Wasn’t this the Crystal Palace?”
“It’s absurd. What the hell is this in a few days…”
Crystal Palace.
In fact, the Crystal Palace had only a grand meaning, and it was a palace that had no owner for a long time.
Even if the spies were pushed in, they wouldn’t notice at all. A place that requires a lot of labor and is old and poor. There was a tradition, but in fact, the reception of the envoys was also scheduled to take place elsewhere.
In the first place, it was an impossible condition for Ion to prepare for a banquet at the Crystal Palace.
However.
“Isn’t that a glass garden?”
“It was a place that didn’t even have a proper flower garden…!”
“There were reports that there are a lot of carts visiting the Crystal Palace these days. Surely it wasn’t built by that time, is it?”
Crystal Palace was completely different.
In a flower garden full of beautiful flowers, the armor of the soldiers blocking them is truly top-notch.
Some high-level aristocrats could have guessed that it was the work of a master craftsman.
It wasn’t just that. I couldn’t see the Crystal Palace because the Crystal Palace wasn’t open for preparation.
“Wow, did the royal family have servants dressed like that?”
The direct servants of the Crystal Palace differed in the quality of their clothes.
“Didn’t the quality of the servants’ clothes change?”
“What about design? It looks like Madame Arisée’s work, isn’t it?”“Is it possible? How late are reservations for Madame Arisée? It has already been half a year since I made a reservation.”
If that’s all there is to say, it doesn’t make sense.
“Why does the meat go that way? Maybe it’s the servants’ meal?”
“Are you kidding me? What kind of crazy nobleman feeds his servants with meat? It is difficult and cannot be…”
“However, if not…”
The faces of the servants, who were neither motivated nor energetic, were pale and plump. It was like eating all three meals of meat.
In fact, when too much meat went into the palace for Ion to eat alone, not only the nobles, but also the servants of other palaces were buzzing.
Surprised, when I asked him to get the information, one of the attendants gave a slight ear.
“This is the new policy of the prince.”
“New policy?”
“He said that those who worked hard will be treated that much.”
Not only a meat diet, but also a generous salary and guaranteed holidays.
It was said that when on vacation, vacation expenses were paid separately. There was a riot among the royal servants that they would go to the Crystal Palace, either knowingly or unknowingly.
At that moment, the faces of the other nobles hardened.
‘what. Why didn’t those who infiltrated me say something like this…!’

Maybe it passed to Ian?
And it was then.
The nobles who came to watch Ion suffer, and to see Princess 1 and other brothers take over and acquire the Crystal Palace, grinded their teeth.
‘Where the hell did he get all that money from?’
In fact, when they heard that Ion was preparing to hunt a dragon, they laughed.
It seems that he could not protect the Crystal Palace due to financial pressure, so he was trying to get points somewhere else.
Because she is the 1st princess, don’t worry, she is the master of the Crystal Palace and tells her to prepare for the reception of her envoys.
‘Is it the Garcia family? But they must see that they are not moving…’
‘It can’t be. Wherever you look, this is Garcia…!’
‘you’re right. I have to fail the test because I have disobeyed the test conditions because I was getting help from my guardian.’
But they swallowed their saliva as they saw Duke Garcia standing between them. Looking at Duke Garcia’s angry expression, it was because for some reason it didn’t seem like it was his.
And it was then.
“ah. Are you here to check before the exam? It’s shabby, but you’re welcome.”
“!!”
Ion appeared from the open crystal palace.
They looked at the astonished nobles and their brothers and smiled.
“Did you see anything? What are you doing? You are not coming in.”
