77. I’m here
#
The place where Galon was guided was at the very bottom of the Sapphire Palace.
It was in the basement with no light coming in. The knights, including Ian, covered their noses with the foul smell.
“Is this really this place?”
“Yes, that’s right. Lowering.”
At Galon’s words, Ian smirked.
There must be a basement like this in a palace that only looked beautiful. Besides, the further down you go, the more queer and uncomfortable you feel.
‘Anyway, he has a bad personality.’
Hiding people in a place like this.
Still, it was definitely a place a rat could not get out of. Rather than escape, they will be caught before that.
How far down the stairs?“!”
A strange wall appeared.
It’s a smooth wall with no handles or anything, so it’s a wall that can’t even be called a door.
Galon looked at the door and opened his mouth.
“This is what I have confirmed so far. It is said that the servant is also in here.”
Galon did what he did, so he must be here. But Ian narrowed his brow.
“I do not know. I think you tricked Lord Gallon? I can’t even open the door.”
When Ion deliberately aimed at the servant, the startled servant trembled and opened his mouth.
“Cow, you’re cheating! Never! You just need something special to open this door…”
The servant who said those words flinched. It seemed that the servant was only planning to guide the place.
It must have been the least loyalty and the command of the second prince.
And Ion, who had deliberately stimulated him, smiled and pulled out something.
“Is this something special?”
“Yes, yes?”
The servant was startled to see the necklace ring that Ian had taken out, but he secretly avoided his gaze.
Ion narrowed his brow.
“From now on, make sure you understand who your master is. It is also wise to choose a time and place for loyalty.”
The servant, who met Ian’s bloody golden eyes, immediately bowed his head, wondering if he could do it any more.
“Yeah… that’s it. The 2nd Prince made it a key! You can bring it to the emblem of the inquiry!”
At that, Ian smirked.
‘Is it the right answer to steal this ring?’
Perhaps it was unified into a ring for easy management.
‘Anyway, you’re a damn man.’
Not only the 1st princess, but also the 3rd prince’s weakness.
“Lowering.”
There was a strange pattern on the door.
A pair of black hands that look like wings. It looked like it was trying to grab something.
Soon after, when Ion took the ring of the vow to the glyph, something surprising happened.
flash!
A light shone from the bare wall, and the door moved as if it were lifted. At the same time, the handle protruded from part of it.
It will be in the form of an inquiry.
Seeing this, the servant hurriedly opened his mouth.
“This is where I followed. Since then, no one has been able to follow me…”
Ian left Fiosen behind and went inside. He was just in case.
‘Maybe this is a trap.’
It was because someone might have forced the door to close.
However, Ian’s eyes full of suspicion had to change as soon as he opened the door and entered.
“!”
It was natural.
It was because of the unbelievable sight unfolding in his eyes now.
Inside the prison filled with the smell of mold.
As if tortured, the woman, covered in blood, was lying on the floor as if dead. Next to it, the video sphere is connected.
She must be the 3rd Prince’s Achilles heel.
After checking his condition, Ion quickly narrowed his eyebrows.
“Sir Gallon!”
Instead of answering, Galon quickly drew his sword. It was to break the shackles that bound the woman’s body.
Tang!
But the shackles did not break. It was clear that he had used a fairly hard mineral.
‘Once it’s hidden, it’s stuck.’
right before it breaks down.
“From treatment first!”
Fortunately, he had brought some herbs for emergency treatment. However, the expression on Nathan’s expression while applying herbs was not very good.
“This is dangerous. Unless you call a member of the royal family or a priest, your life will be…”
Her problem was her tight shackles holding her back.
“I think first aid will be difficult because of the shackles.”
“Damn it, it’s like thisI can’t even cure it…”
“I’ll get you right away.”
“Aren’t you going to be late?”
At this rate, you will lose the Achilles heel of the 3rd Prince.
As they perplexed, Ian found something.
‘This pattern is…’
A pattern similar to an iron gate was drawn on the shackles. When Ion took the ring to the pattern, the shackles moved.
shudder!
It was self-release.
It must have been a treasury measure prepared so that the 3rd Prince could not solve it. Even so, do you want to unify all passwords?
With this ring, I didn’t know if I could get the other things the 2nd Prince had been hiding.
But Ian’s expression wasn’t good.
‘That poor child. Did you really have to do this?’
Ian looked at the face of the woman being treated.
She is a beautiful woman.
But it wasn’t the beauty that mattered.
Ian opened her mouth towards the lit crystal ball.
“Are you watching now? What are you looking at, not coming sooner?”
“Lowering. Who are you talking to now?”
Nathan asked, confused. But Ian only shrugged his head.
“There is such a thing. Kyeong-eun, take this woman. I’m going to get her out first.”
Due to the brutal nature of the second prince, he was roughly predicting who the crystal ball was connected to.

Meanwhile, Ian found something in the cave.
“Well?”
Something familiar was painted on the floor.
As if it was in the basement of Garcia’s annex, there was a pattern painted on the floor.
But something was strange.
‘Does it resemble Garcia’s pattern?’
That wasn’t the only thing.
Several letters were also found on the table that appeared to belong to the second prince. Those that appear to belong to the Duke of Garcia.
So Ian raised the corners of his lips as if it was ridiculous.
‘Is it possible that you were supporting the 2nd Prince while being my guardian?’
It was when Ian’s eyes narrowed slightly.
right at that moment.
‘!’
Uh!
Isn’t
Ion looked curiously at the floor.
‘Is it the power of the 7 main arranging forces?’
Ion stretched out his hand in anticipation.
But it was then.
Break up!
A strong rejection occurred. Gallon cried out in amazement at the sight of his lightning bolts.
“Lowering!”
But Ian was even more surprised.
With a rejection reaction, someone spoke to me.
[Are there traces of them in this place?]
A belief that has never been answered. because he was talking No, it wasn’t just words.
[be careful. They’re coming]
It’s a plea.
The voice of belief was hardened.
Ian asked in surprise.
“Guys?”
[The traitors. The enemy of the 7th main line. 7th Main Music]
“!”
It was when Ion, who was surprised, was about to ask in detail.
The belief was gone, leaving only those words behind. No matter how much I called, it was no use.
‘Seven major musical instruments?’
It was definitely a name I had never heard of in my previous life.
But when Ian came out of the prison, there was no room for surprise.
One of the servants was running with an urgent expression.
“It is said that the 1st princess has come to visit.”
did you come too
Ian hung the ring of his vows tightly around his neck and raised the corners of his lips.
*
Princess 1 was waiting in the drawing room with the nobles of the faction.
The nobles were looking around as if nervously.
“Surely, I didn’t know that the 7th Prince would be second in the ranking.”
Of course, it was the first match.
It was a ranking that could be changed at any time, and it could change depending on the competition, but by itself, it was overbearing to the nobles.It was.
“Isn’t it something that only the 2nd and 3rd princes had to be wary?”
“I thought things would be easier after the troubled 5 princes and 6 princes went abroad…”
The nobles were pressing their servants for nothing, as if impatient.
Therefore, the servants swallowed her saliva as they looked at the 1 Princess.
It’s quiet now, but because they knew the fear of the 1st Princess.
Even now, it is so scary that it freezes, but he couldn’t even imagine what kind of aftershock would come when Ieon came.
That was then.
“Did you come?”
Upon Ian’s arrival, Princess 1’s expression changed in an instant.
And the servants were rarely taken aback by that expression.
If it had been a cold expression like the winter wind until now, it was a warm smile that felt like the warm breeze of spring.
“Did you come? It took a long time.”
“ah. I have some work.”
“okay. just don’t do it You’ll be busy, but don’t overdo it. Isn’t health the best? This older sister is always worried about your body.”
gentle smile. The three knights who followed the gentle and friendly tone of their voices were rarely able to control their expressions.
In particular, Nathan even coughed.
what they are looking at right now.
Ian also tilted his head.
‘What happened to you all of a sudden? Why are you doing this?’
It was natural.
Throughout her past and present life, she was the 1st princess who was evaluated as having no feelings. She was so kind that it was not enough to fit her.
And it’s not like I’m of royal bloodline for nothing.
One of her strikingly handsome beauties, Princess 1, had a shy smile on her face.
“Congratulations on your victory. That’s great. She was worthy of the next heir to the throne.”
Ian scratched her head. I know roughly why I came, but this situation was quite awkward.
So she needed to get out of the way.
“What are you doing? Those who are busy preparing for the northern bee.”
“No matter how busy you are. Enough to celebrate her only brother’s victory. A congratulatory gift and a very good medicine for me, especially for you.”
Ion raised her hand and stopped her 1st princess from speaking.
“Are we not like that? Are you just talking about the main point?”
“········”
At Ion’s cold words, the princess 1 held her breath for a moment. She said and then she still smiled.
“It’s because of the work of the second prince’s brother. Although we have different mothers, we share the same blood. Anyway, wasn’t this too bad?”
“····???”
Ian tilted her head. It was about who is saying to whom now that it is serious.
In the first place, she said that she would take away all of her blood, and it was the 1st princess who said that she would fight a fierce battle. Because she was the one who wanted his life.
But she was the 1st princess and continued her words.
“As a royal family, honor is the most important thing. I won’t ask you to return the ball, so I’d like you to return as much as your brother’s clothes.”
Ian gave her an absurd look. I want you to pay the compensation she asked for with her pre-order authority.
But her 1st princess smiled a lonely smile that was not like her.
“You know that? Did you know that the ones you brought are clothes that the Queen, your mother, specially made for your brother, one by one? Even if you don’t like your brother, I want you to think about his mother’s mother’s feelings.”
It was Ian who lost her mother in her childhood. When she gave a look on her face when she said that she was a mother-in-law, she smiled asking if she would understand the 1st princess.
“I don’t want to make her mother sad,” she said. So, return the clothes you brought back.”
“All right. That’s right.”
“Really?”
At Ion’s unexpected answer, the first princess had a different color.became
Ian smiled and called for Nathan.
“I will not say two words with one mouth. Sir Nathan. Bring those things.”
At Ion’s command, Nathan took over the clothes of the second prince. Very dirty with mud. It was the white clothes that Ian had just left in the corner when Ian told them not to wash them.
“You can take them all.”
Ian smiled softly. 1 As if the princess also responded to a smile, she smiled broadly and accepted her clothes.
“Thank you. Your mother will be happy too…”
But that was the moment.
The eyes of her 1st princess become cold.
“Is this… all of it?”
Obviously, all the things of the 2nd Prince were there. There were clothes, accessories, even magic tools.
However, the [Ring of the Promise] is invisible.
Ian answered calmly.
“why? Was there anything you were looking for there?”
At that question, Princess 1 trembled inwardly, but she soon smiled beautifully.
“not. became This is enough.”
1 What was important to the princess was the whereabouts of [Ring of Promise]. But if she lost Ian, she was fine with it. If no one of her has, she has no one to restrain her.
‘It must have been hidden somewhere else.’
But that was then.
“ah. Then there was one more.”
“!”
Ian shook the object around his neck.
It was [Ring of Promise].
The eyes of the princess 1 who checked her ring became really urgent.
“okay. It’s your brother’s thing too. A very special item that her grandmother passed down to her older brother when she was young. So how about returning it? Don’t repay me big later.”
But Ian intentionally smiled like a child.
“I do not know? The ring is so pretty that I don’t know if I should give it to you or not.”
“Ian. Don’t make fun of your sister too much…”
“Then I won’t just give it to you.”
“!?”
At that moment, the eyes of her 1st princess changed.
There were no more glaring eyes. It feels like a life-and-death adversary in front of you.
But, perhaps because of [Ring of Promise], she didn’t attack in haste.
‘You only need to know the details of the pledge.’
The oath is to bind her 1st princess.
If Ian used that object, she might be humiliated here.
So she backed away.
“Is that so? Then there’s nothing you can do Don’t tell the queen well. Don’t lose it, keep it.”
Anyway, I figured out where the item was. If it doesn’t work, just order Nathan to steal it and you’re done.
Ian said she wasn’t as vicious as the 2nd Prince, so she thought she would definitely get a chance.
However, as she was about to leave, she heard a voice behind her.
“Oh yeah! sister! I read some books. There’s some fun stuff. A ring of promises? They say it’s a ring that forces you to make an oath. Is it very similar to this one?”
“··········!!”
Ian, who was looking back, was looking at her princess as if smiling like a child.
In fact, he did not know what vows were attached to this ring. However, he knew that the use of this ring was accompanied by a considerable risk.
In fact, the risk was so great that it was detrimental to use the ring of vows.
‘Well, it seems that your sister doesn’t know about that risk…’
However, the use value is very high.
In fact, in her previous life, when the 2nd Prince was driven to a dead end. Princess 1 helped her 2 princes because of this.
‘Even though my sister is in a dangerous situation because of the Duke of Garcia, she sent troops to the 2nd prince brother. And he lost his life.’
The eyes of a princess at Ian’s confident attitudeThe light flickered for an instant.
Then he even looked at Nathan with anxious eyes. It’s like asking me to take that ring off.
“What do you want?”
1 A twinkle fluttered in the princess’s eyes.
However, it looks like he wants to get the [Ring of Promise] back, even after giving away anything.
But Ian said calmly.
“Don’t rush it like that, let’s wait. One less has come yet.”
“?”
That was the moment.
thud!
The sapphire palace opened wildly.
“ah. I’m here.”
When the three princes, whose eyes were fierce, arrived, Ion smiled.
I’m done
