“I will say it again. I passed the exam. Because this work is the work of Gardio von Laperbam.”
People were shocked at the sight unfolding before their eyes.
In particular, Orlando seemed to have forgotten to speak, and rarely opened his mouth.
I had no choice but to do so.
‘Is there another picture in the picture?’
In the original painting, a beautiful, noble aristocratic woman with black pearls was lying in bed. But now it has become a completely different picture.
It was natural.
“I.. such a blatant picture.”
“There is no way that decadent paintings like that belong to La Perbam! how much he…”
The newly revealed picture was a naked lady who was not wearing a single thread. It also feels like it is provocative and seducing the painter as if he shared his anger.
The shocked nobles could not speak.
“Hey, what a prostitute…!”
It must have been quite a shock, but at the bewilderment of people, Ion smiled inwardly.
‘Everyone doesn’t know the true face of Laperbam. Well, it was not known at this time.’
Gardio von Laperbam was famous for being elegant and sophisticated. However, he had a pretty sleazy life when he was young. Of course, it became known later when his memoirs were discovered.
‘Was he a Count? He had a secret connection with the Marquis’ woman.’
What’s interesting is that regardless of the content, this painting will be revealed and the history of art will change drastically.
At the same time, Florence, known as a forger, was actually a disciple of La Ferbam.
He was making money from his replicas, finding and repainting the paintings of his past masters. To protect his honor.
‘Of course, it seems that Laperbam himself didn’t care.’
But Florence was different. Still, I couldn’t get rid of it because it was the master’s work, and all I had to do was paint it over with a special chemical.
‘Once again, if you see that this is your own painting, you must have been worried that the truth of the painting would be revealed and your teacher’s flaws would be exposed.’
It looked like he was going to cover it all up on his own.
But Ian didn’t have to explain it that far.
Instead, he told the nobles who looked at them and made strange faces.
“You don’t have to look like a ghost like that. It’s just that I’ve met Laperbam in person in the past.”
“what?”
“What is that… Obviously, you are a serf in the countryside… Ah! no way!”
Ian laughed.
“La Ferbam is said to have wandered the continent to paint the masterpiece of his life. To paint angels and demons.”
The angel he was looking for was an innocent little child. It seems that he came to his village while looking for his model.

Meanwhile, Ian’s statement was that he got drunk and told Ion about the painting.
“He said it was a lifelong regret. I have committed a crime that should never have been committed.”
In a word, it was a blatant lie, but it wasn’t really a lie. He had never met him, but it was true that he came near his village.
‘It was also my dead friend that I met.’
But Orlando clenched his teeth.
“Let’s check it out.”
That said, but it’s almost gone.
So the king smiled really proudly.
‘I thought you wouldn’t pass my exam.’
It was an absurd test in the first place.
Because all the problems were the things that showed the ego that he didn’t want to give the prince a crystal palace.
especially the lastThe test didn’t mean to have real feelings, it was close to the intention of testing Ian’s luck at half-and-half odds.
‘No, even if I said it was a forgery, I would have said it was genuine. It’s hard to even recognize an expert.’
However, there were two reasons why the king, who was questioned, accepted the test.
One is because of the nobles who give deep meaning to the Crystal Palace.
Another purpose is to study for the test, and to check the extent of Ian’s learning ability and persistence.
In other words, the king did not even think that Ion would pass.
So, from the beginning, he was thinking of entrusting Ian with other rewards and other tasks.
‘I hope I can really get through it.’
The king laughed as if he had been hit in the back of the head.
“If this happens, there is nothing I can do. good night. I will admit that Ian Kaistein passed the test.”
“!!”
Some nobles shouted at the king’s conclusion.
“However, Your Majesty. The authenticity of the last task is still to be determined…!”
The king glared fiercely in his eyes.
“Even though I accepted your stubbornness. Wasn’t it a nonsensical test in the first place? It seems that the verification has already been completed since you passed through Gate 9.”
“!”
“Didn’t you bias the 7th Prince for the sake of fairness in the succession war? If that is the case, then for a fair succession war, the same problem should be shared with other heirs.”
The nobles froze.
In particular, the 3rd Prince shook his head as if he absolutely hated it. Even though Ian took the exam, his head hurt.
“Or can we discuss the qualifications of those who are also eligible to stay in this palace?”
“Sorry, I apologize, Your Majesty.”
“The thoughts of the beliefs were short.”
Seeing this, Galon smiled proudly.
After all, when things got around that point, the Marquis Adelas was only going to shoot my younger son.
how did this happen
However.
‘I’m sorry. Did you do everything you were told? I trained at night and exhausted myself. It was actually my older brother who prepared for that kind of test.’
Nathan only shook his head with a face of dissatisfaction with the world.
The nobles looked at each other as if in despair.
“Isn’t this.. If this happens, it will completely go away?”
“The 7th Prince becomes the master of the Crystal Palace. If this happens, I have no choice but to hope that the reception of the messenger will fail.”
“However, this Shinigami is very important… and if there is even a war…”
“I guess so too. I’m going to go crazy with this.”
The brothers were looking at Ian with various emotions.
The 3rd Prince was sincerely congratulating him, but his eyes changed a little.
From a cute little brother to a true competitor.
1 The princess is furious. 2 The princess is jealous. The 4th Prince has a cold gaze as if he is thinking of something terrifying.
The reaction of the 5th and 6th princes abroad is unknown, but perhaps the 2nd prince would have turned over if he had been here.
But that didn’t matter now.
“You have proven yourself worthy of yours. Now I have to keep my promise.”
“!”
At King Elaine’s words, Ion laughed.
‘Finally, it is the time of the long-awaited reward.’
just as expected.
“As promised, the northern royal estate is yours from now on.”
“I’m going crazy. your majesty.”
Although it was not comparable to the capital or other duchy, a huge territory that could raise tens of thousands of people had arrived.
And the territory right next to the Lavaltor estate was as large as the counts.
Ian smiled inwardly.
‘But it’s not the land that matters. The people there and their stuff.’
However, the king did not stand still as he saw Ion happy.
“The land is still a hostage. It won’t be easy to grow. Don’t pay special attention to me.”
In addition to exempting them from taxes for five years, it also made it possible for the people to migrate.
Truly the most unconventional benefit that a king can give.
Ian trembled with excitement.
‘If this is enough…’
It was only now that he was on a line similar to the other brothers, or even a little ahead in some areas. Of course, that couldn’t be the case. Because they really had the most powerful aliens.
Knowing this, the king did not forget his advice.
“This hospitality for the imperial envoys is very important. In the future, the hegemony of the Central Continent is at stake. Make sure you are prepared with no shortages.”
“I will keep that in mind. majesty.”
That was the moment.
At that, the nobles prostrated as if they had been waiting.
“your majesty. There is blue.”
“!”
“Even though the 7th Prince is said to be the master of the Crystal Palace, he is still young. I wonder if I’ll ever be able to accomplish a major mission.”
“Honey, please allow us to help you.”
But maybe he could feel the inside of it, King Elaine smiled coldly.
“Okay. All responsibility will be borne. I will entrust that task to the 7th Prince.”
“Huh… But this time the reaper coming…”
“You want Jim to say it twice?”
At the command of King Elaine, the nobleman hurriedly put his head on the ground.
He seems docile now, but the king who dyed his throne with blood in the past.
The nobles bowed to Ion, who left the place with a sore throat.
“I really appreciate it. Seven Princes lowered.”
“Congratulations on becoming the owner of the Crystal Palace.”
As soon as the nobles politely retreated, the king laughed bitterly.
“Where are you all going?”
“Cows and small gods are about to move to announce this good news.”
“And to direct administrative work in accordance with this . . .”
King Elaine raised the corners of his lips.
“Okay. But shouldn’t we leave what we forgot before then?”
“!!”
The king’s eyes twinkled as if he was running away.
“You don’t have to put out your bets. Here to the Seven Princes.”
“!!”
The aristocrats who bet on their bets internally killed themselves.
There was an expression on his face that he really didn’t want to give, but maybe he couldn’t help it.
“As promised with Your Majesty, I will give you 500 soldiers and 100 cavalry.”
“I will give [Lady of the Night] the treasure of our family.”
“I will donate the supplies and food for 1,000 people to the 7th Prince Je-ha.”
They looked at the Marquis Adelas as if unjustly.
I feel like the warehouse was robbed because I did something wrong.
But it wasn’t them that hurt the most.

“I will give you my family’s summer home. Now the owner of it is the prince.”

Marquis Adelas might have bled quite a bit.
The Marquis of Adelas is also famous as a tourist destination.
It was because they handed over the most expensive and beautiful villa there. Even if it was his own territory, the damage would be really painful.
But Ian’s words hurt more.
“Good for you. Anyway, I wanted to catch some air in the Marquis of Adelas sooner or later.”
“···!”
The Marquis Adelas looked at Ian with an invisible frown.
Is that prince making fun of you?
But Ian was sincere.
‘There are still hidden treasures in the Marquis of Adelas.’
Still, there is a reason to visit the Marquis of Adelas.I needed it, but it worked. Of course, you need personal abilities, so you should definitely take care of that.
King Elaine said with a smile.
“And soon let me send you my personal gift.”
“I’m going crazy. your majesty.”
Ian’s eyes lit up.
I wondered what the personal gift would be, but it was King Elaine. There was no way I could send anything nonsense.
‘Are you going to send something related to the reception of the Shinigami?’
No, you can send something that is unexpectedly insignificant.
Anyway, if you capture the hearts of the gods, such as hunting, you might get help from a foreign country.
Of course, it’s not good to get help from the outside world, so that’s a last resort.
‘Once the necessary cards have been gathered.’
Ian smiled.

After the test was over, the royal family and nobles left the Crystal Palace.
Then someone approached Ian.
“Lowering. Sorry for being late. Your Majesty has finally accepted my resignation.”
It was none other than Lavaltor’s eldest son Fiosen who prostrated in front of Ion. It seems that Ian gladly sent it to him because he passed the test.
“Now with this, I can always be by your side.”
“Welcome, Sir Fiosen. I will leave it up to you.”
However, there was a man who hated the appearance of Fiosen.
“what! Why is Lord Fiosen attached to you?”
It was Nathan.
Ian said to Nathan as if he had forgotten.
“Come to think of it, we had conversations with Lavaltor when Sir Nathan was away. Sir Fiosen will be my knight in the future. Be friendly with each other.”
“Yes?! Is it him?”
Fiosen looked disgusted at Nathan, who for some reason was bewildered.
He didn’t seem to like Nathan very much. Sure enough, he whispered in Ian’s ear.
“Lowering. I’ll be on hand to take care of you 24 hours a day, but Sir Nathan is most likely a spy for the First Princess. Don’t rely too much on it.”
“!”
“No, in the first place, even dealing with someone like you is a rotten bastard.”
The last words were great.
And at that scene, Nathan put up a bloodbath.
“I hear everything! And if you don’t know Galon, you can’t!”
Seeing the two knights fighting, Ion tilted his head blankly.
Of course, Lavaltor and Adelas are different factions. They don’t get along well, but I don’t think it’s to the point of acting like an enemy like that.
As if reading the thought, Galon whispered.
“The two have been friends since the days of the training camp. So was I.”
“ah···”
Even though they are children of the same great aristocratic family, it seems like they will never fit in with the prodigal Nathan and Fiosen, who is the standard of a model student.
That was then.
“He didn’t use the tile I gave him. Seven Princes lowered.”
Duke Garcia approached Ian. He glanced at Karan with cold eyes.
‘You can’t even do simple things like that.’
It was a face that felt anger, but Ion laughed as if he was covering Karan.
“I was lucky enough to have a good sponsor. After all, Duke Garcia’s hand is intentional, not favor. Wouldn’t it be better to choose favors if possible?”
“Favour… is that a word?”
“It would be a good thing to lend without any conditions, interest-free and for an indefinite period.”
You lent that big money without any conditions?
Duke Garcia’s eyes narrowed. Apparently, the secret task force needed to follow Count Arya.
But it’s not right for me to go on like this.
“Then let me send you a favor without conditions on this one. It’s a difficult thing to do alone. Besides, the material you want isYou will need so much force.”
No one will disturb you this time.
It was when Duke Garcia thought so.
“Then I hope it will be me to help the lower estate.”
Someone laughed and intervened between the Duke and Ian.
he is none other than
“What? Adelas Are you going to help the lower estate?”
It was the Marquis of Adelas.
