69. will you come out like that?
#
2 kingsAt the letter sent to him, Ion laughed.
However, the 4th Prince Serbin seemed absurd.
She took it for granted.
“her. Is she using that precious opportunity now?”
It was a place of plunder to steal the opponent’s position and hand for her successor position.
In the past, royal families waged rank-and-file battles to improve their hand over great karma.
And that’s possible because of the rules of the rank-and-file.
[Winner can take three things from loser]
From small guardians to treasures, castles, knights, and at large, status and life.
Since you could bet on a variety of cards, you could literally lose everything.
Of course, in order to claim status and life, the bettor also had to bet the corresponding one, so I didn’t bet that well.
In any case, each challenge is given only two opportunities.
‘That’s why we don’t usually quarrel.’
When the enemy has the most. Or I walked the moment I felt that the other person needed something.
Anyway, I couldn’t just do a rank battle, I had to have a justification.
So Ian raised the corners of his lips and asked.
“So what is the cause?”
“The 7th Prince Je-ha wants the co-investigator position of Rabadom Village, which he received this time.”
“!”
Ian smiled as if it was the same.
As soon as you get the position of an investigator, you won’t be unaware that the Northern Bee is crossing the water.
However, he may not know the future like himself.
‘Are you trying to get in the way of me?’
It wasn’t something I didn’t understand. Frustrated by the Shinigami and the Crystal Palace incident, they began to make different choices from the past.
But it didn’t matter.
‘Exactly at this time, I expected a rank-and-file battle.’
Because we are facing a huge event called competition. Rather, it was an optimal time for both himself and his enemies.
And in the first place, isn’t everything they do is a war to elect a successor?
The rank-and-file battle is not only helpful for the North Expedition task, it also helps with the foundation after becoming a king.
If you can reduce your competitors before the competition, you’d rather be yourself.
In fact, Serbin and Karan said it was interesting.
“Certainly, there is a lot to gain if the 2nd Prince is an opponent.”
Ian is currently at the bottom of the hierarchy.
However, if you defeat the 2nd Prince, who is at the top of the hierarchy, the ranking will change with the 2nd Prince at once. As a result, the support base has also increased.
where is that
“There are also quite a few things that Prince 2 has received from his father. There are sayings that the Empire covets.”
From faction nobles, estates, and precious horses sponsored by Lavaltor.
There were many things the prince could tear apart.
But there was something else Ian coveted.
‘One thing and one person.’
With that, she would be able to deal with the 1st Princess and the 3rd Prince.
So, Ion was still silent even when Princess 1 revived the rank-and-file battle.
Because there is no chance to steal the hands of the brothers other than rank-and-file battles.
‘Well, in my case, I was going to hang it a little later.’
However, now the second prince has lost even one arm.
Nathan raised the corners of his lips as if showing victory.
“What are you going to do with the competition?”
“that···”
It was then that Serbin was trying to answer something.
Serbin noticed something at Ion’s gesture and abruptly hid himself.
Then, as Ian beckoned, the door opened and the waitress appeared.
Ian’s golden eyes twinkled.
“Are you the one who brought this proclamation?”
“It is. The 2nd Prince Haji has declared a 1:1 proxy war.”
“!”
In proxy warfare, not the parties, but a substitute, such as a knight, is sent to compete.
“LoweringHe said it would be possible because you also have knights. So I was told whether or not to refuse, and I was ordered to wait.”
Ian lightly tore the proclamation letter.
“I will refuse.”
“!”
Everyone else was surprised.
The mayor bowed his head as expected.
“Are you using a veto right?”
The right to veto is given only once in a sequence match.
But once you write it, you can never avoid it after that. It is the last card that should be avoided as much as possible.
So, as if surprised, everyone looked at Ion.
“You’re really cocky. The only way to fight in rank order is the right of those who are challenged. It means that it is not a matter for you to decide.”
“!”
There is no need to write a veto. At Ian’s bloody laugh, the chief of staff flinched.
Those were the words Serbin wanted to say because she didn’t want to be found out that they were actually together.
‘It’s not official, but it is an implicit rule that the date and method of the rank-and-file battle can be set by the person being proclaimed.’
I don’t know anything different from the past, but that hasn’t changed that much.
“Come back, you know. I will decide the fighting style and date and send it to you.”
“Ha.. Haona. The 2nd prince is not in a perfect state…”
“what are you talking about. Shouldn’t you have taken that into consideration?”
The chieftain closed his eyes tightly and lowered his head.
At the command of the 2nd Prince, he deliberately tried to provoke, but he’s afraid to make eye contact anymore.
“I will tell you that.”
It was different from before. After becoming the owner of the Crystal Palace, Ian’s eyes showed the power of the ruler. As if he had no intention of hiding it.
Soon after, the chieftain disappeared, and the 4th prince sneakily appeared.
“her. What the hell do you believe in your brother? Even so, it’s a 1:1 knight proxy battle.”
Serbin didn’t seem to understand.
He had no choice but to do so.
The three knights with Ion were really famous.
Not to mention Fiosen, the duke of Lavaltor, and Nathan is well known.
And above all.
“You don’t have knights who are great enough to defeat Lord Gallon, do you?”
Galon is said to be the 3rd Great Knight.
Of course, if it’s a 1:1 knight proxy battle, it’s obvious that Gallon will be sent out.
But Ian laughed like an abomination.
‘Is it because of the sword of domination?’
He might have wielded the sword that said he could rule over others on his knight.
Of course it wouldn’t be easy.
Because the black restrictions of domination were severe.
‘You have to be alone, and you have to have direct contact.’
It is essential that the other party be vigilant, and even if there is hostility, it will not be caught in the first place. That’s why it’s enough to warn the knights going to the showdown in advance…
But the problem was different.
First of all, the person who has been hit by that sword may know that he or she is being manipulated.
‘There may be people hanging. So you better avoid gambling.’
There are usually two events in the ranking competition: individual competition and proxy competition.
The best thing was to go out on your own.
As if reading those eyes, Serbin asked.
“Are you sure you can win? Even without arms, he was the heir.”
“Do you think I will lose?”
“After the death of the first prince brother, the second prince received an enormous education as the heir. The same goes for the special swordsmanship that is passed down only to the successors…”
Serbin narrowed his brow.
“Aren’t you even older than your brother? At that time, I didn’t know how I would have won because I was careless. It might be difficult this time. furthermore···”
“furthermore? What else do you have?”
“There have been some strange rumors these days. my brotherYou hear strange screams from the annex where you are locked up.”
Of course, Ian wasn’t worried either.
At the time, I lost my reason by provocation, but I didn’t know what would happen if I came out with real determination.
So, 1:1 individual matches are risky.
Even so, it was not worth throwing away the precious veto against the second prince.
“Well, I have something in mind, so stop worrying about my rank-and-file battle. Please watch over the 4th Prince and the 1st Princess Sister.”
“!”
At that, Serbin laughed slyly.
“a. Do I have anyone like that? All of them are nothing but old-fashioned scholars…”
It is said that it is not too early to be a competent person to understand the every move of the 1st princess.
But Ian’s eyes flashed as if he was trying to get me out.
“It’s strange, it wouldn’t be possible.”
I knew Ian.
That there are special subordinates under the 4 princes who are interested in science and art.
Those are the gentlemen of the night.
‘So you’re attracting a bunch of thieves.’
Later, the estates and safes of the 4th Prince were robbed and revealed to the public.
A person who pretended to be serious trained thieves to steal art and wealth. But for the current Ian, it’s a useful hand.
“If you look like this and come out, there is no alliance…”
“Sheesh. this doesn’t work I get it. Let me take over that.”
“Then I will trust you. older brother.”
Ian stood up like that.
‘Usually, the date of the rank-and-file battle cannot exceed a month, even if it is long.’
But that didn’t mean I couldn’t spend the whole month.
‘The investigator’s schedule is next week right now.’
It was because the second prince cleverly took the role of an investigator as a pretext.
In other words, he could not leave his job as an investigator without becoming the winner of the rank-and-file battle.
The more it was delayed, the more his image would be tarnished.
The credit for the events that will take place there will also be taken away.
So Ian called Karan.
“Go and tell the second prince. The method of sequencing is…”
Ian’s eyes were shining.
*
“What? You want it to be a 3v3 battle?”
“Yes. The 7th prince’s man came and told him so. He said that one-on-one or proxy wars are nonsense…”
The 2nd prince’s attendant looked embarrassed.
I had no choice but to do so.
It was because his plan had gone awry.
“And the prince must also come to the showdown.”
At the words of the chieftain, the 2nd prince set up a bloodbath.
Aside from the unprecedented method, it was the youngest brother who at the very least decided how to fight and the date of the fight.
However, the second prince quickly regained his composure.
hook hook
No, he rather focused on the sword that was outstretched.
It was because he was training with one hand with his shirt off and his bare body. The negligence of the past was nowhere to be seen.
It’s literally a state of veins all over the body.
The second prince said with cold eyes.
“Then it happened. As long as he doesn’t avoid fighting me anyway, that’s enough.”
“Hah. Lowering. Why wouldn’t it be better to place a ranking match on the 7th Prince… rather than 1st Princess Hana or 3rd Prince?
There was some truth to the words of the chieftain.
The 3rd Prince, who intensively collects knights, had the strongest knights that could help the Northern Expedition.
The first princess, who was born in the same boat, received a letter as well.
[I will be defeated by my brother in this ranking battle. My brother will restore his honor and bring a knight who can help the Northern Expedition.]
These were the words of the 1st Princess, who is now the number 1 in the succession line.
‘The 2nd Prince did the last thingAs a punishment, the rank was pushed back.’
Still, there are a lot of people who are in the top ranks and aim for it, but if it’s still not number one, it’s a pain in the butt.
However, the 2nd prince rejected the 1st princess’ offer.
No, even before sending a refusal reply, I had a rank-and-file battle against Ion. As a result, the other heirs could not apply for the rank battle until the rank battle with Lee Eon was over.
But the 2nd Prince was rather aiming for it.
“Do you think I’ve been with him for years? You can tell just by looking at them.”
“!”
It was clearly a look of suspicion and rejection of himself.
Although he pretended to be gentle when picking up his spies, he didn’t let go of his distrust.
‘If I give you one thing you want, will you lose in the rank-and-file battle? Don’t be ridiculous.’
“When the rank-and-file battle begins, they will cut me without hesitation.”
“Then what about the 3rd Prince?”
“He is…”
The second prince bit his lip.
He was really upset, but he wasn’t confident enough to beat him yet.
‘I had raised assassins to catch up with him.’
Still, he couldn’t just give up.
The right of veto is only one time.
so.
“This is your last chance. There is only the youngest.”
All things including Lavaltor, as well as the honor lost for the Northern Bee and the King’s seat.
It would take away the most precious thing.
In the meantime, if he regained his power, he would be able to stand up to other successors.
Of course, he was arrogant and was not negligent.
“The Guardian has arrived.”
2 The prince raised the corners of her lips.
He is one of the three great knights like Galon. A secret weapon of the royal family that is said to have taught the kings and the successors of Lavaltor in the past.
It didn’t matter who the opponent was as long as he was sent out before the ranks.
Besides, as a last resort.
‘He will pass on information to me next to the youngest.’
There was a pre-planted spy.
He was a guy who was struck by the power of [Sword of Domination], so he probably wouldn’t even be aware that he had been hit.
There is only one problem.
The six seats were almost full.
“I will definitely win. certainly···”
And I will cut off the arm and neck of the youngest.
*
“Are you really going to be okay?”
Fiosen asked Gallon with a worried expression.
I had no choice but to do so.
Because tomorrow is the next match.
“Can’t we prepare more? The preparation period was only a week.”
Seeing Ian in training, Fiosen was worried.
“It’s fortunate that you trusted us and chose 3 vs. 3, but isn’t it a bit dangerous to even go to the prince yourself?”
The best thing would be to put off Ian’s turn last, and the knights would win two on their own.
‘The order of the match is to be decided on the other side…’
“The second prince, and the knights over there. Unless anyone is vigilant, they will not be easy opponents.”
But Galon shook his head.
“You will prevail.”
“yes?”
Fiosen was absurd.
It was because of Ian’s faith that had no bottom and no end to Galon. No matter how great Ion is, he’s my age.
‘No matter how much Lord Galon believes in Ian. This is a bit harsh…’
But Galon replied with a smile on his face.
“From the moment we first met, you have never missed training. You always did your best.”
It really was.
Although Nathan entrusted him with swordsmanship training, Ion learned the sword terribly every time. At least he gets secret training from Galon every night.
Galon recalls Ian’s skills.It was a satisfied expression.
But it was then.
Nathan, who was looking at Ion for the last time, exclaimed.
“Then who are the contestants? One of the three is a prince, and of course one is Gallon… who is the other one? I’m sure it’s not a tighter bluefin than that gallon, is it?”
But Ian laughed instead of answering.
“It is top-secret information until that day. We will find out tomorrow.”
“Don’t do that, please tell me. Is that me? right? No, say me!”
Ion ignored him and looked at Fiosen.
Because Fiosen came with a piece of paper.
“I received a call saying that I can use the place you mentioned. But this place…”
Fiosen’s face hardened.
It was a place he had never imagined.
“Are you really going to do it here?”
Nathan with a curious expression also looked at the written place and his face hardened. No, even Galon had a poopy expression on her face.
Ian stood up.
“If you’re ready, let’s start by checking.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. Who is being controlled by the sword of domination?”
Ion’s sharp eyes smiling towards the knights.
