67. What did I hear now?
#
“Why don’t you hold hands with me?”
Was it twenty now?
A gentle and warm expression on a well-groomed face.
To be called the royal family of Kaistein, who is good at sword dancing, he has a strong face and green hair.
The 4th Prince Serbin Kaistein was smiling at Ian as he pushed his servants behind him.
And towards that smile, Ian tilted his head and smiled, as if he was a master at it.
“Will you hold my hand? I do not know. You and I don’t have much in common, don’t we?”
“Huh. Can’t we be friends from now on? The old sages said that brothers and sisters will strengthen friendship with each other, and then…”
Serbin spoke very long.
At first glance, she looked like a scholar who likes to do research.
But Ian was not deceived.
So he asked with cold eyes.
“So what do you want to do?”
“Even though we were not born in the same family, we have the same father. There is no need to exclude each other.”
“Will there be other older brothers and sisters?”
“I would rather hold your hand than them.”
“!”
It was a strange thing.
Serbin, who had neglected him so much in his previous life, came to take his hand.
But Serbin said with a smile.
“I felt it when I saw your performance. You must have the power to defeat other brothers. In particular, it seems that you are the only one who can defeat the first princess.”
“Is that so?”
It was definitely different from his previous life.
The 4 princes in their previous lives joined hands with the 3rd prince and fought with the 1st and 2nd princes. Thanks to this, Ian was able to stockpile his strength in Garcia’s estate while they fought.
Serbin said to Ian with a confident expression.
“Neither you nor I are such strong forces, but each has its own strength. So how are you? How about holding hands with me and winning the other brothers?”
Ian made an interesting expression.
It was because of Serbin that he was arrogant without knowing all of his hand.
“What do you think?”
“This time, I plan to drop the first princess sister out of the nomination.”
“!?”
Serbin put his hand into his arms.
At the same time, he brought out the edict he had received earlier.
[Fourth Prince Serbin Kaistein, clear the abandoned territories in the north and prosper]
There was nothing particularly difficult about it.
Rather, what does such a mission have to do with the first princess sister?
But Serbin, the most cautious of his brothers, gleamed sharply.
“My mission and the mission location of the 1st Princess sister overlapped.”
“…!”
Ian narrowed his brow.
The mission of the 1st princess that he knows is to take charge of the 1st Corps of the Northern Bees and invade Bahara.
It was a mission possible because she had a powerful faction of hers along with her powerful maternal family.
“And she is the sister. You’re going to try to sweep and claim the land I’m in charge of, pretending it was a mistake.”
At the time of Ian’s proof, though, it wasn’t the mean blood and blood that watered them with the sudden announcement of a rank-and-file war.
But Serbin said there is a chance.
“There are two ways to advance from my estate to Bahara. But if you and my armyWhat would it be like to capture Bahara before your sister?”
Naturally, the first princess has no choice but to fall out of the competition.
Even though she had a royal army, she didn’t get good grades. Rather, expectations would be drawn to Ian and the 4th Prince.
But something was strange.
‘If you think about it, you must have been in charge of the barren land in the south.’
Strangely, the territory commanded by the 4th Prince was close to Ion’s Helgaia territory.
It was clear that the information he knew had changed a bit.
In any case, he seemed to understand why Serbin was grieving.
“Do you want to borrow my troops?”
“Not only that, I want you to keep your sister in check. As you can see, I’m not familiar with combat.”
Of course it was a lie.
Not everyone knows, but Serbin was deceiving his excellent swordsmanship skills. The appearance of a scholar is always external. He was a move to distract others.
What sets Servin apart from other princes is his high ambition and vigor. He was a terrifying enemy even when he thought about the future.
Of course, it wasn’t a bad deal for Ian. 1 Princess is one of the most difficult enemies in the past.
and.
‘Anyway, as long as you touched me with the hospitality that the first princess sister bought. I just can’t get over it.’
Besides, the 1st princess anyway would want to take a fierce battle with her at any time.
Standing fierce battle is a one-on-one match that steals everything her opponent has. Because she was the key to a charter reversal that could make the first place last, and the last one could also make first place.
‘no. She certainly won’t even make all the contention.’
You probably won’t even make it to the end. So there is no need to avoid the first princess. She wished she could hit first.
“The enemy of an enemy is a comrade. But I think I’m losing too much to follow my brother’s words.”
“Then what do you want?”
“My estate needs a lot of work. I hope you will support the scholars and officials you have.”
“Ummm…”
Serbin thought for a moment.
It looks like he is thinking about where the benefit is. But he made a decision quickly.
“good night. Don’t do that.”
“ah! And if we move soldiers together, will I take the command?”
“It’s a little difficult, but…”

Maybe it’s that hard?
There was a moment when Serbin’s face hardened.
“Instead, I will pass the ball to my brother. In any case, I am the only one in charge.”
“good night. Don’t do that.”
Ian extended his hand to Serbin.
“good. older brother. Let’s take this opportunity to strengthen our friendship.”
“I thought well. It will definitely be a great opportunity for each other.”
Besides, Ion rather gently held Serbin and her hand and even shook it.
It was natural.
‘Anyway, I crossed a river of no return with the first princess. But Serbin-nim has a lot to gain.’
Of course, I plan to use Ian as a breakwater, but well.
‘The 4th Prince’s maternal grandfather is a college graduate.’
That wasn’t the only thing.
He boasted great acquaintances with the faculty of the academy. In addition, Daehaksa and the 4th Prince were also using the forces that once followed the Duke of Adria as his power.
And in order to make the Helgaia territory prosperous, the powers of the 4 princes were needed.
No matter how much the heretic sons of Glatunias were taken away, they were only outstanding talents in their respective fields.
‘Using the 4 princes, make the 1st princess the lowest in the hierarchy.’
Nathan looked at him with a subtle expression.
*
“Hey. Even the 4th Prince will find the Prince. really popular guyis. IM jealous.”
After breaking up with Servin, Nathan smiled and approached Ion.
And let him look at that saying what Ion wants to say.
Nathan said with a still expression on his face.
“Ah what is it? Have you heard of the hondam story? Aren’t you interested in having a wedding conversation with the Imperial Princess? Then you can be sure of your safety.”
In an instant, Ian’s eyes rose.
You want this guy to see you?
And at that glance, Nathan grunted while grunting.
“why. That’s a good thing. If you become the princess’s husband, she’s before the ranks and before the competition, so you don’t have to worry about it. Besides, she is the most beautiful woman in the empire. How good are you?”
“And she’s going to be a wife in the Empire.”
“Ah, if she lives in the Empire, that is . . .”
Ian smiled as if caught by Nathan’s words.
“After all, Sir Nathan, it seems that the Kaistein family is better than the Marquis Adelas?”
“…Yes, yes?”
Nathan stiffened for the first time. Piosen, who was next to him, shuddered at the sight.
“Why do you look like that? I bet she doesn’t know that you and the first princess, Ha Ha, are talking about marriage?”
Nathan glanced at Fiosen as if resentful.
“Did you say?”
“no. Ian, who is brilliant, has already seen through everything. What was the reason that Marquis Adelas, who did not want to suffer losses, was attached to the 1st Princess Je-ha, even after taking the losses?”
Fiosen snorted, telling him not to trust Nathan anyway.
“Well, I don’t know why you ran away to the Duke of Garcia, but if you make the 1st Princess Je-ha into a king, you can become a royal family, so don’t you want to be coveted?”
“no it’s not! I have no interest in the princess at all! She has no taste in the first place! Who has such a filthy personality…”
“Huh, isn’t this blasphemy against the royal family? Can I pass it on to you?”
“hey!”
Ian looked at it and smiled.
Then Galon whispered to Ian.
“Lowering. The fourth prince is a good person, but the first princess is really powerful.”
Apparently, holding hands with the 4th Prince was not desirable.
that would be it too. What Ian needs now is not scholars, but powerful knights.
“The 1st Princess is strong enough to play active duty in the Royal Guard. She is said to have been obscured by the 2 princes, but she is undeniably the first person…”
“I know.”
“Then why did you hold the hand of the 4th Prince?”
“Why? The most dangerous enemy is to be kept nearby. Besides, it will be much more helpful than the knights in this case.”
“Yes?”
Instead of answering, Ian smiled.
“Do not worry. I will never be taken advantage of.”
And it was then.
“Seven Princes lowered. You are being asked to come in.”
Finally, King Elaine allowed him to visit.
*
“Yeah, what made you want to see me in a hurry?”
As usual, King Elaine sat in the audience room with a grim expression on his face.
“If it’s about this competition, go back…”
“The work of the gangsters of the magical continent is coming. I was hiding in my estate and doing tricks.”
“?!”
At that, the chaplain made a small sound in surprise without knowing it.
And no matter how much the chieftain, he should not show his expression, but this time, he really had no choice but to do it.
‘A magical continent is targeting this country?’
Because that was a really big deal.
Still, the Magic Continent continued to target the Swordsmanship Continent. However, he was always blocked by Kaistein and had to return.
Those guys hide in the monster forest and do their tricks.were you decorating
‘If you do something wrong, war can happen.’
It was when the valet was looking at King Elaine with anxious eyes.
King Elaine flashed his eyes.
“Is there any evidence that they are Ganja from the Magic Continent?”
“If you wish, you can summon a dragon here to prove it. He was being captured by them and being brainwashed. I saved it.”
“!?”
The chieftain was even more startled, but King Elaine patted his chin for a moment.
And then he spat out a word.
“okay. I get it. That was a good thing.”
“your majesty?”
The mayor could not believe this.
He caught the gangsters of the magical continent and brought them back, but he did well, but it’s over.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. This is a huge merit. Hurry up, convene the ministers and announce that the Magic Continents are targeting this place…”
But King Elaine looked at the chieftain with a tired expression on his face and said:
“What if that’s what they want?”
“Yes?”
“What would you do if they were deeply infiltrating this country?”
“····.”
Rather, they may haveten their plans. So, after securing the key evidence, you have to hit it at once. King Elaine was saying that.
“Still, picking up information is another thing. Investigate and report those brought in by Prince Ian. Help Prince Ian, and do whatever it takes if necessary.”
“I will take orders.”
The vassal hurriedly resigned, but Ian did not back down.
“your majesty. In fact, more important things remain.”
At that, Elaine made an interesting expression.
that too Ion, who always surprises him, is because he is nothing more than a time bomb. At the very least, it’s more important than that in a situation where you brought a spy from the magical continent.
At this point, I was expecting something more to come out.
But Ian said with cold eyes.
“I guess it is, but it seems that there are people who help the kingdom nobles in the Magic Continent. Because you might be by your side. Please be careful.”
“I will.”
The king’s eyes gleamed as if he knew already.
No matter how Helgaia was on the frontier, it was a case of jumping over that Lavaltor and hiding inside the kingdom.
Obviously, this would never have happened without being connected with one of the kingdom’s executives.
But that was not the king’s surprise.
‘Do you doubt the ministers?’
He said he had a child who noticed it like himself. that was a bit odd.
But Ian knew it in a different way.
‘In a previous life, the father lived there from a certain moment. As if . . . by someone.’
Originally, the competition of Kaistein was supposed to be led by the king.
However, from a certain point on, the royal chaplain only delivers the decree. He couldn’t even see the king. He was a king who did not entrust his work to others. Besides, after the declaration of war of succession, he not only did not clash with his ministers, but the strong king who was tired of the imperial emperor.
Ian decided that there would be a masterpiece of the Magic Continent with a high probability.
‘Because the relationship between Kaistein and the Magic Continent is really long.’
Ian clearly remembered the last moments of the king in his previous life. He looked miserable unlike now.
[I’m really sorry that I couldn’t give you affection. However, don’t forget that they are around you…]
He was a king who never felt his father’s affection for even a single moment.
For that moment, he could feel his sincerity.
Although he met a strange death in the middle, the queen, who took the place of the king after that, temporarily performed the duties of the king.I remember running away as if being chased by the wind.
But, looking at Ion, King Elaine did not say anything for a moment.
“…”
I just wanted Ion to live quietly without being noticed by anyone.
‘You’re so good, you can’t hide it even if you want to hide it.’
It was a problem since Garcia discovered it in the first place.
There was nothing else I could do about it.
He started sending warm eyes instead of cold ones for the first time.
“You did a great job. Even though I can’t make an official announcement, I can’t help but compliment myself.”
“no. your majesty.”
“What is your Majesty? You can call me Abba Mama.”
“····.”
This time, Ian was speechless.
It was because he had never used such an expression because he had not been very close in his previous life. The other brothers were not even familiar with the expression of a good father.
The king seemed to have already guessed the situation. Rather, it turned to a different story.
“If it’s hard, do it later when you feel comfortable. However, since you did a great job, you should be rewarded. Is there anything you wish for?”
“Then, your Majesty. Could you please open the treasure trove?”
“A treasure trove?”
It was the king’s personal space.
“good night. You are welcome to take as much as you can.”
“and.”
“and?”
“I have something I want to sell to Your Majesty.”
“??”
sell? what?
Ian smiled softly.
