111. 3rd Prince and Hillen
Contacting the royal family is not easy.
The status of the imperial family in the empire is more than anyone could imagine, and of course the neck of the imperial family is stiff.
There was no way anyone could come and meet me and meet me.
But if you’re a hero like Hillen Cargill, it’s a different story.
“Healan Cargill?”

Martin Jespine. The third prince of the Jespine Empire tilted his head at the unexpected report.“You mean Hillen Cargill came to see me?”
“Yes, my lord.”
“why?”
“that is···.”
“No, wait a minute.”

Martin shook his head in thought.Building a relationship with Hillen Cargill is something everyone wants to see. But things didn’t go well.
The empire was in the midst of a fierce battle between the imperial family, and the moment they saw even a small pod, they were overflowing with wolves who would attack and bite them.
In particular, the third prince, who had a weaker support base compared to other imperial families, had to be careful, as if he were walking on a blade of a sword.
Even if it was a pure meeting, if the target was Hillen Cargill and a hero, there was no reason why he couldn’t create a pod if he was an Argan of the Heroes’ Guild.
“Make them decline.”
“But my lord.”
“What?”
“He delivered this.”
It was a small neck.

There was no special magical treatment on the neck. There was only a small necklace lying around inside.
“··········!”
A necklace that Martin Jespine could never pass up.
“…let me guide you to the waiting room right now.”
“Yes!”
The knight ran out.
“How do you do this…”

Martin carefully picked up the rusty necklace. It was as if there was a subtle warmth in the cold metal.‘Kaede.’
Why is your necklace, which should be in the Demon King’s Tower, here?

Martin recited his brother’s name.* * *
True to its reputation as the best city on the continent, the ecliptic was large.
And the same was true of the imperial palace located in the inner city.
The interior was splendid and the boundaries were strict. Berge and Hillen walked down the long hallway, guided by a vigilant knight.
After passing through the majestic garden, they finally reached the third prince’s private palace.
“welcome. Your Majesty is waiting for you.”
The servant who was guarding the door of the reception room welcomed them. His gaze changed sharply.
“I respect you. We also respect your achievements. However, if you disrespect your Majesty with your arrogance, I think you will never see good things.”
Healen responded to the straightforward words without changing the color of his face.
“How does the Empire treat its warriors?”
“Your Majesty originally did not want to meet you. I haven’t even met you. But since you risked yourself for a necklace you don’t know how you got it, wouldn’t my anger toward him be justified?”
“Did the third prince do that? Are you arrogant and talkative?”
Berger chuckled. The servant’s face wrinkled. The knights growled.
“dare!”
“Do you want to die?”
“Pale.”
Hillen blocked the front of Berge. Just then, a voice was heard through the door.
“Listen.”
“…His Majesty Haona.”
“They are my guests.”
“. . . be lucky. To thank Your Majesty for your mercy.”
The knights turned away. The door opened.
He was beyond the splendid decorations and luxurious wood.
Blonde hair, which seems to symbolize imperial wealth, is supremely rich.
The emerald-colored pupils looking at Berge and Hillen are deep, and the physique is strong and exudes unusual momentum.
‘Like it.’
It was quite similar to Kaede Jespine.
“Sit down.”
“Yes.”
The two sat in front of him. The servant went out and the door closed.
“You are Hillen, and you are Fail.”
“exactly.”
“It was true that the wizards of Akan were obsessed with pure mana.”
“Thanks for the compliment.”
He didn’t bother to say that he was cocky. I just turned my head to Hillen.
“At first, I didn’t intend to meet you. Do you know why?”
“I’m just guessing.”
“Does it mean that it’s that important to know that you entangled me?”
“I think the necklace I gave you would have been a sufficient answer.”
“It will depend on what the content is.”

Martin pulled out the necklace. Then he pulled out the same necklace that hung around his neck.“This is the necklace that Kaede and I received from our mother. It’s a product that no one else can have but the two of them.”
“Yes.”
“Why is this in your hand?”
how.
“Did you get it?”
“I will explain. That’s why you found your Majesty.”
“You should have a good talk. so I can understand With only the truth.”
“of course. This necklace is Kaede Jespine. I got it from him.”
“··········!”

Martin’s face contorted.“Did I say we should talk well?”
“It is.”
“I know of your deeds without having to go into great detail. After Kaede was kidnapped, you wouldn’t have gone to Erzest, would you?”
“I said I got it from him, but I never said I got it.”
“Continue.”
“Do you know what happened at Hortonwalk a few months ago?”
“Is Akan trying to find the Demon King’s Tower with Lavinia Akan at the fore?”
“At that time, I joined them with the commander of the Red Hawk raid, the elf Granada.”
“You mean he found Kaede? A group of Akan who couldn’t even find the tower?”
“no. We couldn’t find the tower, and of course Kaeden-sama couldn’t find it either.”
However.
“Kaeden has visited Granada.”
“…the heart of the empire speaks nonsense to the imperial family. Do you think the status of Argan in the Heroes’ Guild will protect you?”

Martin was furious.It has been over a thousand years since the demon king descended and the royal family was kidnapped.
There have been hundreds of kidnappings and rescues in that thousand years. But never once did the kidnapped royals unshackle themselves and escape from the tower.
“Just because it never existed doesn’t mean it won’t be there forever. do you know The Demon King’s Tower cannot be forcibly opened unless you are a hero. And Kaede-sama is a hero.”
“How the Demon King treats the abducted royal family differs depending on the Demon King. But one thing they have in common is that they put restrictions on them so they can’t escape. I know my brother well. He’s a hero and a great knight, but he’s not overwhelming enough to break those restrictions by force.”
Hillen Cargill.

Martin growled.“Isn’t there anything you can’t see as the Heroes’ Guild supports you? How dare you try to desecrate the imperial family! Is there anyone out there!”
The knights rushed into his roar.
“majesty! Are you okay?”
They drew their swords and aimed them at Hillen and Berge. Berger clicked his tongue as he was aiming at his own neck.
Healan continued the conversation again, noticing his non-explosive eyes.
“To be clear, I never lied. Your Majesty, do you know? Akan’s search party to find the tower was sincere. It was a large-scale operation involving golems and chimeras in the wizards and knights.”
“therefore?”
“On the other hand, what about the Demon Lord of Fire? I have a feeling of being blown away by my failure, Hilderan, and the abduction of the princesses and princesses of the Jespine Empire, but he is a Demon King who has been summoned for over a year now. And for all Demon Kings, the shorter the summoned period, the clearer the limits are.”

Martin didn’t answer. Hillen continued.“The Demon Lord of Flames can never be strong. It is said that he sent out a horde of monsters to deal with Akan’s horde. don’t you know There are only a handful of monsters left in the family.”
“So, did Kaede escape by taking advantage of the weakening of the tower’s boundary? There is a Demon King.”
“The tower’s prison is in the basement. Conversely, the Demon King is at the top.”
“Did Kaede escape by taking advantage of the weakened boundaries?”
“I think so.”
ph ha ha ha.

Martin laughed. shouted loudly. And then, all of a sudden, it stopped. A heavy pressure hit Hillen.“Are you kidding me now?”
“I think the chances are low. But I want you to think carefully about it.”
“think?”
“I did not find the tower. Even the Kingdom of Akan could not find the tower. By the way, I have the necklace of His Majesty the Princess Kaede in my hand. If not what I said, do you think this is possible?”
impossible.
But Martin was not ready to answer. There was nothing wrong with Hillen’s words, but it was because he couldn’t let go of his reluctance.
“Then what about my brother?”
“I can’t say for sure because I didn’t go there myself. However, according to Granada, while climbing Erzest, he accidentally found an impatient-looking human figure, but could not properly recognize it due to the attack of monsters.”
“But when I looked for the place where the seal was, did this necklace fall off?”
“Yes.”
“Isn’t anyone from Akan’s horde never going to see Kaede?”
“An elf’s vision is different from a human’s.”
“Isn’t that a bit too salty poker?”
“Sometimes reality is more like a play than a play.”
“It’s fun.”
No, there wasn’t.

Martin endured the urge to cut off the head of the hero in front of him at any moment.Although his claim was questionable no matter how you looked at it, the necklace was genuine. the necklace.
The necklace was responsible for all probability.
“Then nothing will change in the end. Except for just getting a necklace. It is a lie to say that he received it directly from Kaede.”
“I don’t think it’s much different from what I received in person. Granada said that he made eye contact. And there is nothing to gain.”
“···········?”
“The location. If His Majesty Kaede Jespain is the owner of the necklace, wouldn’t the location where he was last seen be the biggest clue to finding the tower?”
“··········!”
After a moment’s silence, Martin opened his mouth.
“So, what do you want?”
“Help me.”
“what?”
“So that I can save His Majesty Kaede.”
“Why are you trying to save Kaede?”
“Because that’s how you will help me. Ever since the day my heroism failed, my purpose has always been one.”
Hillen deliberately expressed anger. The knights flinched at the brutality.
“Finding the tower and destroying it. And to save the two princesses of Hilderan. In addition, to save His Majesty’s younger brother Kaede Jespain.”
“Even if we want different things, I think we can get on the same boat if our ultimate goal is the same.”
please.
“Help me bring down the Tower of Chloride.”
Hillen lowered her head in a trembling voice. Martin closed his eyes again at the sincerity emanating from his body.
And Berger.
‘I did it, but it’s annoying.’
He was barely suppressing the boiling flesh.
He wanted to burn the back of Hillen’s head with flames.
* * *
It is difficult to contact the prince.
And it is more difficult to get the right to interfere, and it is more difficult to get closer to the prince and to give directions smoothly.
A reasonable justification was needed.
Berge and Hillen pondered and came to a single conclusion.
The problem with him is related to Kaede, so let’s use it again.
“Are you really okay?”
“It doesn’t change that they are looking for my tower anyway. In that case, it would be better to use it and lead it in the direction I want.”
That’s Hillen’s just revenge.
It was the bond of blood and blood between Kaede and Martin.
In the process, there is a possibility that even a little bit of information about the tower will be revealed, but he did not care. Because there is a rough terrain called Erzestra, and using the Puer Orcs, I was able to make a board before coming to the tower.
“How can I trust you, who has already failed once?
After a while, Martin spit it out.
Berge and Hillen felt that they were connected.
“I have failed once, but there are also warriors who have never experienced a single failure. I’ve been wandering around Erzest for longer than anyone else, and although it’s weak, I’ve also got clues.”
“Do you know that you are being supported by Hilderan?”
“The more support, the better, isn’t it?”
“You are greedy.”
“It’s not that I don’t know your majesty’s heart, but Akan also failed. No matter how much I prepare, I think it’s not enough.”
“. . . show them the room.”
“majesty?”
“hurry.”
“Yes!”
“Follow me!”
The knights put their swords in and glanced at Hillen and Berge.
But neither Hillen nor Bergers stood up.

Martin’s face wrinkled.“What are we going to do?”
“I know what you are worried about. What is the state of the empire now?”
“Don’t make fun of your mouth. No matter how great your reputation, Hillen Cargill, this is an empire, and it’s an empire’s business.”
“I want to give you good advice. When I came here, I passed the Habsline.”
“Hapstrin Gorge?”
“I was curious because there was a rumor that there were five towers of demon kings. Anyway, I found something quite interesting there.”
“What do you mean?”
“I haven’t looked into the inside yet, so I can’t say for sure.”
but.
“It would be good to gather weapons or warriors with the power of interference. It will further solidify your position.”
“What is that?”
“I’ll just go away, my lord. When you’re done thinking, call me anytime.”
Berge and Hillen disappeared.
“Can you guess what that means?”
“If it’s a Habstrain, it’s where the five demon lords descended. It is also a place where quite a few remnants of the Magi remain.”
“I mentioned the power of interference between the hero and the dimension.”
“It didn’t happen in a day or two for monsters affected by Magi. Maybe that’s not the case…”
“If it was such a trivial matter, there would be no reason to tell me.”
“Ugh.”
If it was a normal warrior, I would have passed it on, but the opponent was Hillen Cargill.
“Send someone secretly.”
“Yes.”
“Answers are deferred after that.”
“Yes.”
The knight bowed his head.
