‘How sad it would be if he had talent, but his talent didn’t bloom.’
Remembering Isabella, Izar smiled.
Until last year, Isabella was just one of many siblings.
I knew he was secretly wielding a sword to become a knight, but he thought he would give up anyway. If you face reality properly, you will eventually settle down.
However, after visiting the imperial palace, the person changed.
Hiring a female mercenary, Simalia, devised a swordsmanship that suited her, and began a fierce battle with the elders of the family.
I got interested. Isabella was different from her other boring siblings.
In addition, Isabella herself was overflowing with talent for swords.
Izar thought he should let that talent bloom.
‘A guy who was so confident in his family feels intimidated in front of Crown Prince Reinhardt.’
The problem is Reinhardt.
Isabella learned to fight prejudice from Reinhardt.
decided to be friends.
But when I came into sight, I felt intimidated.
He must have been so ashamed of himself for not having achieved anything yet.
‘A pretty little sister who won’t hurt even if you put it in your eyes, but a third party shouldn’t intervene in male and female issues.’
So Izar gave me a choice.
How to get into the apprenticeship of the Yellow Dragon Knights through Reinhardt.
Competing with the Dark Elf Arell, if he continued to watch and talk, his feelings would become clearer.
However, it is not a proper article.
Would you swing a sword near someone you care about?
However, if he could get Reinhardt, it would be a great deal for both the family and her.
But Isabella chose to become a proper knight.
‘I should have arrived by now.’
Isabella entrusted it to Karbal, the mercenary king.
Mercenary King Karbal is ruthless.
Regardless of gender, he trained mercenaries in cold blood.
You cannot become a knight just by being a flower in a greenhouse.
Above all, if a woman wanted to become a knight in the current era, she had to be a sword master. Or hide your gender.
short and thick. It will be completed to some extent in about six months.
I spent most of my savings on this deal, but I have no regrets. Because it was an investment in a talented younger brother.
No matter how much it was a partnership, Karbal made sure of the money transaction.
I also brought that much achievement, so I just wished for good luck.
After all, he had to be in the middle for a while.
Because I couldn’t stay on the edge forever.
‘Besides, it feels just like the night before the storm. Very good.’
The imperial family is the center of the empire.
The middle is still now. Like the night before the storm before the storm.
It seems like a storm will blow around the crown prince.
Hopefully your bets are right.
It was truly a full bet for life.
If this is a rotten band, it will all be purged.
For that, it was necessary to show one’s abilities first.
It was to make Laurel Tailor Shop stand out the most in the Imperial Capital.
At that time, the tickling woman’s voice woke Izar from his thoughts.
“Izar? What do you think?”
“ah. I’m sorry, Lady. Stop because your eyes are so beautiful.”
“oh. Are my eyes that pretty?”
“It seems to be looking at the calm lakeside in the evening. There’s a line of poetry that comes to mind, can I recite it?”
“So good.”
By the way, what was the name of the girl in front of me?
The daughter of a wealthy marquess who is said to have the most land in the capital.
That’s enough. Other than that, I had no interest.
Izar recited a poem with a playful smile.

The warden of the special prison ward got up in a hurry and led the guards to wait at the entrance.
‘I heard that the crown prince was appointed as the director of the prison camp, but now?’
It has already been several months since I was appointed as the director of management.
However, the crown prince had never set foot in the special prison camp.
A special prisoner who is imprisoned only for treasonous criminals who threaten the empire.
Like the rest of the imperial family, I wondered if the crown prince was reluctant to come here.
Rather, it was better to do so from the prison guard’s point of view.
In a mountain where there are no tigers, the fox is king.
“Oh, he is coming!”
“All attention!”
Seeing the imperial carriage in the distance, the warden shouted.
‘But it’s more compact than I thought.’
only one wagon.
It was accompanied only by a coachman and a knight.
It was modest for the number of people led by the crown prince.
This is because the people of the imperial family, who had been in charge of the management, always accompanied the knights to protect themselves from heinous criminals.
‘It’s not like taking a walk…’
The warden clicked his tongue inwardly.
Even if you are the crown prince, this is a high-class prisoner’s ward.
If I had come with an easy mind, I would have greatly regretted it.
“Meet Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
“Meet Your Highness the Crown Prince!”
When Reinhardt got off, the guards close to the bag stiffened their backs and saluted.
Eventually, Reinhardt spoke to the warden.
“Looks like I’m very late.”
“No, Your Highness!”
It was too late.
Still, once he was appointed as the director of the management, he was bound to reveal his face within a month.
“Anyway, since His Majesty has entrusted the management of this place, today I plan to take a look around the convict ward.”
“I will guide you personally, Your Highness.”
Reinhardt nodded.
The warden caught his breath.
I was worried inside because I was called the crazy prince, but at this rate, he is a nobleman more than other wardens in the past.
‘Let’s return it as safely as possible.’
If you only guide them to the safe zone properly and let them out, this place will become their own kingdom again.
Anyway, even the crown prince wouldn’t have thought of examining every nook and cranny in detail.
At best, it’s just ‘pretend’.
However, it didn’t take long to realize that he was wrong.
“Is this the end?”
“Yes, District 1 has all been turned.”
“I will look around all three districts. Guide me.”
“majesty. Starting from District 2, it is really dangerous.”
The warden broke out in sweat.
I don’t know how they came to know about it, but all of them are divided into 3 districts during the special class prisoner.
District 1 is the safest place in the convict ward for the inmates.
Mainly, those who are held hostage due to the special circumstances of the imperial family are confined to this district 1.
However, from District 2, brutal criminals gathered.
The most dangerous guys are in District 3, and it was thoroughly sealed, so even the guards were reluctant to enter.
“Guide me.”
However, what had to be done was the position of the prison guard.
The warden closed his eyes tightly.
‘Still, if I go to District 2, I’ll change my mind.’
However, it didn’t take long to realize that that thought was also wrong.
*
The special prison camp was a lawless zone.
At least District 1 was being managed, but everything changed from District 2.
The smell of rotting corpses. beastly eyes.
They were not being treated like people.
Because of the lack of food, they eat insects and boil with rotten water.
Most of them were treated as sub-human or committed crimes worthy of such.
Even so, the reason why they didn’t cut their throats and were confined in the special prisoner was because they were aristocrats.
The special prisoner’s unit was an institutional device for punishing nobles.
District 1 collected only those with strong families or those who had room for rehabilitation, while District 2 was mostly occupied by nobles who were ambiguous to kill but had no answers.
An aristocratic trial that exists only in the Empire.
It is a state organization established under the pretext that even aristocrats are subject to punishment if they violate the law.
It was an idea that came from a policy to eliminate discrimination, but ironically, members of the imperial family are free from the trial.
A member of the imperial family can only be punished by the emperor.
In other words, the emperor cannot punish anyone.
In any case, all the nobles who were sentenced at the trial were confined to the special prison cell.
‘The significance of the Special Prisoner’s Building is only for District 3.’
It was no exaggeration to say that this system of punishing nobles was created for District 3.
Those who know the important secrets of the imperial family.
There was also a person who went to the brink of robbing the imperial palace but was arrested because he couldn’t open the last door.
A man called a thief.
And even the Void Mage.
The tendon was cut, and mana was run out of control so that it was made into a disabled person.
It is impossible to escape because it is blocked by seven doors.
“It is very messy.”
After looking around all three districts, I gave a general review.
When I returned to the warden’s office and told the warden, the warden noticed.
“What do you mean messed up?”
“There must be quite a bit of money from the imperial family, so where is all that money going? It’s a childish piece of equipment in the imperial family, so it’s frustrating because it’s not maintained or repaired.”
“Ah, no, Your Highness. Everything is operating normally.”
“yes? Bring the ledger.”
Are you going through the ledger?
The warden’s mouth went dry.
There was no way the royal family’s funds were being properly managed.
Usually, the person of the imperial family who was appointed as the head of the guardhouse used up everything, and the guards and the guards shared what was left over.
For the past few months, the prince hadn’t even looked at this place.
All that blind money was in their pockets.
By the way, I want you to show me the ledger. There is no way that such a thing has been properly written.
I’ve never had anything like that before…
‘Is it discipline?’
What is certain is that it is clearly different from the previous management directors.
yes. If you want to discipline yourself, you just have to work it out in moderation.
“Here you are, Your Highness.”
“Hmm.”
I looked through the ledger.
But again, nothing was properly written.
It was absurd to see the amount set for maintenance of a building that was not even scheduled.
Even the cost of food is astonishing. All the prisoners had more than enough money to eat meat every day.
The number of people was also different.
The number of imprisoned criminals and even the number of guards were more than doubled.
I wrote this down because the people of the imperial family thought they were in the dark about their finances.
Heck, there was no aristocrat who ate while worrying about prices.
Not to mention the imperial family.
“The other ledger? Wouldn’t this be all?”
“Why… is that so?”
“I will check and check. And I plan to investigate all merchants who purchase food materials. If you compare it with theirs, you will know for sure.”
The warden’s eyes widened infinitely.
‘Fucked!’
If you do a thorough investigation, you will inevitably get caught.
But it was unfair.
Is this the only place where the royal family’s money leaks out?
Everyone was doing it like he was, but the prince had no way of knowing why he was poking at the beehive.
But when they get caught, it’s a shame right away. Truly decapitated.
“Sa-save me, Your Highness!”
The warden prostrated himself.
But not even the seeds were eaten.
“Crime of misappropriating the royal family’s money for private use. Know that we will deal with all those involved according to the law.”
Bloody winds blew in the express convict ward.
*
The news quickly reached the ears of the nobles as well.
The story of the bloody wind blowing in the special prisoner’s ward.
All guards have been replaced. Some, including the chief jailer, were executed as examples.
But that wasn’t all.
It’s because the prison guard and the guards weren’t the only ones who ate.
The nobles involved had no choice but to stand before the court.
Those who gave back money for the convenience of nobles imprisoned in the special prison cell. They, too, were subject to investigation.
The nobles protested.
“Aren’t you really crazy?”
“Empress. Not this one. Do I have to stand in court?”
“Please stop. Even if you see the ties with our family!”
To the people of the imperial family whom he had lined up.
Among them were empresses who were powerful figures.
Since he couldn’t speak directly to the emperor, he moved the empresses to stop Reinhardt’s madness.
“His Highness Reinhardt. How can you handle such an important matter by yourself without any consultation?”
“You’d better stop, Your Highness.”
Despite the threat, Reinhardt did not budge.
Reinhardt was not connected to any nobles in the first place.
Except for the emperor, there was no one who could put pressure on them.
After that, I covered my ears and locked the door.
Neither Reinhardt nor the emperor responded, so the empresses couldn’t help but feel upset.

Just like that, a typhoon blew through the imperial family.
Without even dreaming of the fact that the royal palace was being robbed.

[… Hacking has been completed.]
[Security is canceled.]
Kiki profit-.
The huge door of the huge imperial palace was finally opened.
Thanks to coaxing a phantom thief who had reached this door and obtaining a map at the level of blueprints, it was easier to enter than expected.
The imperial palace that exists in the basement of the imperial family.
A treasure trove said to have been built by the first emperor who created an empire a thousand years ago!
It is a door whose password was devised so that only the emperor could enter. And Deus periodically changed the imperial palace password.
This door never opens in any way, enough to make even the thief trapped in District 3 give up.
When I asked him to draw a map of a secret infiltration route in exchange for freedom, the thief snorted.
That means you won’t be able to open the last door anyway.
However, it was opened.
‘As expected. It’s like the door in the Holy Land.’
It was similar to the door that locked the dragon in the Holy Land, so I thought it could be opened through Zero.
That thought is right.
When the door opened, a staggering number of treasures came into view. It is truly a mountain of treasure.
But I walked away ignoring them.
In the past, when I ascended the throne, the palace secrets had already been robbed to some extent.
It was only speculation that Emperor Deus had Croft steal some treasures.
But now, even those treasures will be there.
‘······ there is.’
A smile was drawn on his lips.
there was.
The supreme treasure that I stole because I thought it should not fall into the hands of Archduke Carlos and I.
