Academy Genius Tamer Episode 223
Han Si-ha and Won went straight to the Imperial Palace on horseback.
He didn’t believe in a writer named Bern 100 percent.
I even turned on my smartphone to avoid taking the prince to a strange place as an excuse, but fortunately, the first place I arrived was the Imperial Palace.
However, what is this strange heterogeneity felt by the skin?
A strangely eerie and quiet imperial palace greeted them.
There he found a familiar face.
The fan club president I met at the lotus party.
A particularly active little child, Princess Rubia, stood there with a face that didn’t look all right.
He was terrified with a pale white face.
He got off his horse and ran to Rubia.
It seems something happened to this palace.
“What’s up?”
“that… that is… .”
Han Si-ha’s complexion darkened as she looked at Rubia, who couldn’t answer properly.
Her eyes were full of fear as she saw something shocking.
A trembling voice came from Rubia, who had only opened her mouth because she couldn’t open her mouth.
“Lungs, Your Majesty… sick… .”
“What?”
“that is… Some people come… To Your Majesty… .”
Han Si-ha’s expression turned cold.
An imperial palace that is not even popular.
It was because a strong feeling was creeping up.
“Han Shiha!”
A voice from behind.
Han Si-ha, who shook off Rubia’s hand, immediately ran into the palace.
As soon as I opened the door, Marcel, who was sitting down, caught my eye.
Prince Marcel, who was not always disheartened for his noble origin, was completely mesmerized with a pale complexion.
A figure of a person lying down behind him.
It was the emperor.
Won, who came in late, stiffened with a shocked face.
Marcel opened her mouth with an earnest voice.
“Help me, Han Shiha. Do something.”
“… .”
Han Shiha clenched her teeth and looked down at the emperor.
Unfortunately, the situation was the worst.
The abdomen, which had been stabbed in the attack, was bleeding continuously, and it had already bled so much that it was pooling like a damp puddle.
Anyway, he’s not dead yet.
“Ugh… .”
Emperor Linia groaned as if in pain.
Han Si-ha knelt in front of her and sat down.
“How did it go?”
Han Shiha grabbed the white cotton t-shirt and ripped it, and asked urgently.
Bern gave the answer.
“I was suddenly attacked. It seems that the royal knights were poisoned with the meal they ate.”
All of them were not eaten, but while the knights were in chaos, the imperial palace was suddenly attacked.
There were several knights who survived, including Bern.
They couldn’t stop the assassins who were targeting the emperor.
From poison to assassins. Considering the strict security of the imperial family, it was probably the work of an insider.
Han Shiha frowned as she listened to Bern’s explanation.
‘I don’t think it was in the original.’
Emperor Linia was doomed to die during the war, but the time did not come so soon.
Hansi-ha hurriedly pours out the potion and examines the wound.
“eww… Ugh… .”
The emperor’s complexion, twisted in pain, had already turned pale.
“Where have all the royals gone?”
“They were also attacked.”
“It’s like a dog.”
At the time, it made sense.
time before war.
It was around the time when the cubs who received money from the Warlocks in the Imperial Palace were slowly starting to open up.
There must have been guys who were looking for a chance, and I remember there were actually several attempts to poison him.
But I don’t think he died at this time.
From Abaddon’s point of view, it would have been a game that was thrown at risk.
‘Is the cube stolen?’
‘Because you think it’s not advantageous?’
Abaddon, who would normally prepare for war calmly, never thought that he would launch such an all-out war.
Perhaps it is a conclusion based on the variables he has made up.
By now, Abaddon, who should have had all the cubes in his hand, didn’t even get half of it, and even that would have noticed that the cube’s power had weakened.
My heart was heavy.
Although he is a tyrant, he is a monarch with great abilities.
The emperor’s vacancy might change the course of the war fatally.
“Ugh!”
When the cloth was tightly tied, the emperor vomited out saliva.
Hanshiha hurriedly ordered Bern.
“If there is no royal court, let’s find another lawmaker. Look through it thoroughly.”
“all right.”
“I will go too!”
The moment when Won was about to follow Bern with a pale complexion.
Someone grabbed Han Si-ha’s arm.
was the emperor
“… .”
She shook her head slowly.
“your majesty… your majesty… .”
Rubia wept with her red, bloodshot eyes.
Han Shi-ha looked down at the emperor with a firm face.
In fact, I knew it as soon as I saw the emperor.
That the chances of saving her are slim.
She knew better than anyone that she was destined to die soon, so the emperor vomited blood and stopped Han Si-ha.
Hanshiha spoke in a dry voice.
“Looking at His Majesty, I thought that the future of Ardel was very dark.”
“her… .”
Even as Emperor Linia was dying, he frowned as if it were funny.
Hanshiha bit her lower lip tightly.
“But, the future of the Empire without His Majesty will be darker.”
Eighteen-year-old prince. instead of taking bribes.
Until the inevitable war.
The emperor, too, had a face full of worries about the future of Ardel.
Hanshiha swallowed her saliva with a bitter heart.
Quiet Imperial Palace.
“under… ha… .”
The emperor, who should have stopped breathing sooner, breathed heavily as if he couldn’t close his eyes.
A moment when no one could speak easily.
The emperor muttered with difficulty.
“Han Shiha.”
I didn’t call Marcel, and I didn’t call Rubia.
The emperor found himself.
“yes.”
Bringing their faces closer, the Emperor whispered in a harsh voice.
“I beg the prince… .”
Her gaze alternated on Marcel and Rubia.
There must have been other reinforcements, but I wondered why he had Bern to call him.
But, now I know.
If the Imperial Palace is not safe, where is the safest place right now?
Castile Territory.
When you ask to protect the prince, you probably mean that you want the prince, who will be the most dangerous, to escape.
“Yes, leave it to me.”
Han Shiha left the emperor alone and stood up.
Marcel and Rubia were still trembling.
He is a human figure far from being a loyal subject.
I have no intention of doing something like that again, and it doesn’t fit my personality.
But, since I came this far.
As human beings, I felt a strong responsibility to save them.
There was no more time to delay.
“Let’s go to Castile.”
Two people were put on fire at the time.
* * *
It was like a night escape.
Han Si-ha left Yuan and the emperor to Bern and put Rubia on my horse.
So I rode horses with Marcel and arrived in Castica.
Of course, it was time for everyone to sleep.
“I have come.”
thump thump.
Han Shi-ha knocked on the tightly closed door of the mansion.
“… .”
No answer.
thump thump.
“It’s urgent.”
damn.
Han Si-ha bit her tongue briefly and slammed the doorknob with all her might, thinking that she would break the door if she did.
bang!
This time the noise was a bit loud.
As expected, the servants who woke up hurriedly ran out.
“Wow, what’s going on!”
“Open the door.”
The servant who recognized Han Si-ha from beyond the iron gate stopped with a bewildered face.
Some thug-like guy was playing a chess game in front of someone else’s door, and he’s the master of this house.
Hanshiha frowned and said.
“Don’t say it twice. Open the door before I destroy it right now.”
“Sleep, hold on!”
Should I wake the Count at this late hour?
It was when the embarrassed servant was crying and rolling his feet.
“under.”
A low-pitched voice suddenly interrupted.
“What rudeness is this?”
Han Shiha looked away with a surprised face. Han Tae-soo, in a voice that seemed to have just woken up, grabbed the doorknob.
Click.
Once opened, it is not easy to let in.
Han Tae-soo blocked the door and looked at Han Si-ha.
“I asked what the rude thing was.”
“You must go in.”
“The conversation is not working.”
“Isn’t that a new thing?”
The thought of fixing my child’s frizzy hair today.
Han Tae-soo took a deep breath.
But, for a while.
The moment I found the party behind Han Si-ha.
Han Tae-soo’s face turned cold.
“… .”
Prince Marcel and Princess Rubia became bloody about what had happened.
There was no need to explain further.
Han Tae-soo swallowed his saliva and spat out words.
“Come in.”
* * *
Unbelievable that it had happened just overnight, Marcel was trembling for a long time, but her expression remained resolute.
Even on behalf of the lost Rubia, he had to come to his senses.
The empire was established after a long war with the warlocks.
Although an empire with a short history, he thought that his fate depended on him.
No matter how hard you try, there is only one conclusion.
The present imperial palace is too dangerous.
Marcel painstakingly conveyed the emperor’s will.
“Your Majesty has told you to flee.”
As the emperor died, the only thing he trusted was Castica, and Marcel followed his will and sought out Han Si-ha.
I did not regret that decision.
Even at this moment when the world seemed to have collapsed, it was because Han Tae-soo looked incredibly strong.
The prince turned to Han Tae-soo and said.
“So I plan to stay here for a while.”
It is not a request to accept, nor is it a request for understanding.
It almost felt like breaking into someone else’s house and declaring war.
Han Tae-soo didn’t seem to care at all, though.
Unlike Han Si-ha, who has no loyalty, he has been a loyal follower of the emperor’s orders since the founding of the country.
The emperor is dead, and now the prince is the emperor.
Tae-soo Han could not refuse Marcel’s words.
However.
“no.”
Han Tae-soo briefly expressed his intentions.
“… Yes?”
Marcel’s eyes lit up.
There is only one place to stay.
Wherever he went, he couldn’t believe anyone.
If it was abandoned even by Castika, it would be impossible to survive.
Marcel couldn’t keep up with Castica’s betrayal.
A trembling voice came out with difficulty.
“then… Are you telling us to go back to the Imperial Palace now?”
“Yes, it is.”
“It’s not safe… All the escort knights are dead… You want me to go back there?”
“Yes.”
Tae-soo Han looked straight at Marcel and nodded.
Then, he added with an incomprehensible look.
“Instead, I will go with you.”
Castica did not abandon the imperial family.
As long as the Empire lives, that fact will not change.
However, the direction Han Tae-soo was thinking was different from Marcel’s.
Emptying the Imperial Palace now is what they want.
I can’t let this empire go just because it’s dangerous.
I will not lose the Imperial Palace to unscrupulous people.
Han Tae-soo clenched his fists and spoke firmly.
“We will go to the Imperial Palace.”
