Dragon Road.
A supreme being that existed from the beginning.
She is a self-aware and enlightened person and has a personality that even the Twelve Lords cannot easily approach, but the strange person she met just before is strangely annoying.
‘It’s strange.’
It was really strange.
She has the power to scan all dragon memories. Looking into the memories of a dragon that does not forget is like saying that you can grasp everything about the dragon.
It is the Lord’s role to grasp, dominate, and reign.
So, I couldn’t get on her nerves any more than Yongin.
Being intrusive is a feeling that is not readily accepted. However, there can be no feelings or memories that she, at the peak, cannot accept.
but it’s annoying keep getting caught in the eye
‘The Dragon of the North…’
dragon of the north. It was sealed in the Holy Land and spent a thousand years undergoing changes. His memory was a mess. After being defeated by humans, he was constantly wandering.
But if that’s all, there’s no way you can’t accept it.
‘It’s heterogeneous.’
It was only then that Lord realized the true nature of the annoyance he felt from the northern dragon.
The more you reach the end, the more the northern dragon’s memory is damaged. It seemed as if the emotions she spit out were filtered out once. It feels like there is something in the middle.
Unlike Malfiel.
Malfiel was hiding his purpose, but it was nothing more than a mask. On the other hand, the northern dragon seems to be wearing several layers of thick armor.
However, armor is usually only worn in one layer. There was no reason to put on several layers of armor unless someone forced it on.
‘I could only count on one hand those who gave me this kind of feeling…’
There are only a handful of beings that have given her, who has existed since the beginning of time, such an annoyance. Even the dragons who accomplished all the feats did not create such an emotional trough in her.
Of course, it is not uncommon for dragons to eat dragons and inherit memories. However, a dragon that has been eaten is bound to protect its subject.
The northern dragon existed as a subject.
‘It wasn’t the northern dragon that was confused, was it me?’
She asked the Dragon of the North if he was confused, but the reality was the opposite. After facing the northern dragon, she was feeling even more confusion.
He was Chaos, a disturbing being.
Hwaaak.
As soon as she waved her hand, the sky opened and the universe appeared.
Two cosmic stars were shining anew.
They were stars that did not shine for thousands or tens of thousands of years, but were said to disturb the world the moment they shined.
‘Cheonsalseong and Jamiseong.’
A star that kills the sky and a star that rules the stars.
No two stars have ever shined at the same time.
However, no one who inherited the power of Cheonsangseol and Jamisung caused waves in the world. In particular, in the case of the Celestial, there were several cases where it appeared with the last feat.
The one who destroys the world and thus becomes a new god.
She judged Malfiel to be the owner of the Celestial Castle.
It is the wood that will become the 13th god.
However, Zamiseong is unpredictable. It is chaos.
Then, is the northern dragon the owner of Jamiseong?
He also does not know. Maybe it’s the other way around.
But what is certain is that the only ones who can bring confusion to her, the Lord, are the owners of those two planets.
‘Confusion must be erased.’
Looking at the two stars that could never appear at the same time, she gently closed her eyes.

Exactly 15 days had passed since Reinhardt was entrusted as the head of the investigation.
The first week was literally a typhoon. Nobles in the central political world had to lie flat on the floor and breathe, so there is no need to talk about their prestige.
Of course, the news had to reach the ears of Archduke Carlos.
‘Reinhardt…!’
While he was stranded in the north, Reinhardt made his debut in the central political world in an instant.
Even that was not enough, and he even gained the powerful power of being the head of the investigation.
‘It’s ridiculous.’
However, Reinhardt’s actions are clearly an act of turning himself into an enemy. The imperial palace wizard Generic and other aristocrats who had been placed in key positions in the palace by Archduke Carlos were being cut off.
He’s a guy who doesn’t know grace.
If it wasn’t for him, Reinhardt would have died long ago, let alone become the crown prince. Even if he couldn’t repay the debt, he was paying it back with resentment.
When he killed Thebeus in the north, he wasn’t as angry as he was. They had many children, and Thebeus was the most incompetent of his sons.
However, it is a different story when the hands and feet are amputated after being placed in an important position in the palace.
This meant that his position was narrowing.
What about the mad prince, Reinhardt, who was so incompetent?
‘I beat Prince Raunel at the Colosseum. He was hiding his skills.’
······ Does it mean that you have been deceived?
Are you just pretending to be crazy or incompetent?
From the moment he came to his senses, the prince’s behavior was unusual.
too fast. He has regained his authority and is pointing a knife at himself.
‘Carbal… he also turned his back.’
He even lost contact with Karbal, the mercenary king sent to watch over the crown prince. It wasn’t enough to have failed the mission, so he turned his back completely.
It was clear that Reinhardt was playing tricks on this as well.
If left as it is, that knife could have cut through his heart.
It is impossible.
‘I have to kill the crown prince.’
Only then did Archduke Carlos recognize Prince Reinhardt.
In the meantime, it wasn’t worth killing, but now it’s worth killing.
“Please contact the church. It’s time to put an end to this unfunny prank.”

Balzac. He, the sword of the Demon Church, has arrived in the capital.
‘It’s been a while since the Empire.’
I look around with hate.
The Demon Church disappeared due to the oppression of the Empire, but this was only the surface. The roots of the Devil Church still remained and exerted influence all over the world.
Balzac was one of the five swords of the Demon Church. It is called a deadly sword, and there was no target he could not kill.
As soon as he entered the capital, he killed a merchant dealing with the imperial palace. After that, he entered the imperial palace disguised as a merchant.
‘There is no Crown Prince Reinhardt?’
However, Prince Reinhardt was not in the palace.
No matter how much I searched for it, it disappeared without a trace.
“Where the hell have you been?”
Hwangryong Palace. Inside the prince’s palace, there was a man who spoke quickly while skimming through a pile of documents.
“The nobles are also noticing the strangeness and are gathering. We have to destroy it before we assemble…”
The man was Isar. He was entrusted with the role of deputy investigation leader, but he couldn’t do anything without Reinhardt.
Even if you move quickly as soon as you take over as the head of the investigation and wipe out the corrupt nobles, there is not enough time. However, Reinhardt disappeared out of nowhere.
Aristocrats were united in this. It seemed that they were planning to unite a few influential nobles and put pressure on the imperial family.
‘Hmm. I guess there really isn’t. Where did you go?’
Where would the prince be if he wasn’t in the palace?
You need clues to follow the trail. Balzac went deeper into the palace.
“······ who?”
A knight guards the front of Reinhardt’s room.
it’s arel She continued to guard the front of Reinhardt’s room.
I haven’t moved a single step in the past 7 days.
But Balzac couldn’t believe it.
It is his own concealment that even the sword master’s skill can’t catch.
Even Croft, who was said to be the strongest, would not be able to catch his stealth.
It was quickly removed and rearranged.
‘It’s quite a matter of noticing my stealth.’
It seems to have been underestimated.
After all, this was the heart of the empire.
There is nothing strange about how many talented people are beyond imagination.
There could have been such a strong person in the crown prince’s womb.
As he turned and climbed, a man stood in front of Balzac.
“who are you?”
He was Eugene.
The Hwangryonggung here was already impregnably defended by Yujin’s barrier. All unauthorized movements are caught by Eugene.
After Balmung’s attack, Eugene was temporarily reinstated as a court wizard.
It was by the order of the emperor that he would be reinstated if the barrier of the palace was properly completed.
Although the barrier had not yet been completed, the entire imperial palace was already within Eugene’s senses.
“······ Breath!”
Balzac groaned.
I was imprisoned. to invisible magic.
‘Broken window…?!’
He used magic without a chant. It is the magic of the shadowless window.
It was a disaster. I’ve never heard of a wizard like this.
Balzac bit his hand.
Push shush!
Soon, Balzac’s body melted.
A blood method that instantly turns into liquid and gains immunity from all magic.
Balzac quickly escaped the palace right after he was freed from the restraints.
“The Demon Cult?”
Eugene recognized right away that the blood method belonged to the Devil Church.
It is also a bloody skill of a considerable level.
Spot!
The trail of the sword aimed at Balzac.
Balzac, who fled, was followed by a knight guarding the prince’s visit.
‘Damn it! Haven’t I heard that there are people like this?’
A sword master class knight with great senses.
Shadowless Wizard!
It’s hard to deal with both of them at the same time by yourself.
Balzac managed to escape the palace and escape.
“Anyway… there is no prince in the palace. The moment the prince returns, I have no choice but to kill him.”
So Balzac spent a week hiding in the capital.
And saw.
“What is that?”
A flying ship coming down to the capital.
The ten wyverns pulling that boat.
*
“Me-what is that?”
“Isn’t that a wyvern?”
“crazy! A wyvern is pulling the boat down!”
The soldiers guarding the first wall protecting the capital, the wall of protection, were staring at the ship and the wyverns in astonishment.
Wyvern is a flying monster that lives in the high mountains. Although few in number, it was so powerful that it was one of the monsters known to have no rivals.
It was enough to annihilate a fair amount of knights alone, and sometimes a wyvern was found carrying a cow in a private house and flying away.
There are ten wyverns like that.
I tried to attack, but it was difficult to attack because I was driving a boat.
It was the first time they had ever seen such a sight.
Who the hell is riding on a boat pulled by a wyvern?
Moreover, wyverns are monsters that humans have failed to breed and tame.
In the end, the magic archers aimed their bows at the fortress wall.
The soldiers in front of the door were wary of the Wyvern approaching with spears and swords.
“stop! stop!”
“One step closer and we will attack!”
The commander guarding the wall of the guardianship bit his lip.
How long has it been since the monster attack?
“Person?”
“People are coming out!”
But soon after, someone got off the ship.
“Open the door.”
“Who are you?”
I don’t know.
… I let out a sigh.
I couldn’t bring anything because I was in a hurry.
If he flew to the palace like this, he would be attacked in the middle, so he came down and knocked on the gate.
“It’s Crown Prince Reinhardt.”
“Crazy bastard! Even if you’re impersonating, are you impersonating His Highness the Crown Prince? There’s no way His Highness, the Crown Prince in the palace, would lead a wyvern!”
That’s not wrong.
However, some soldiers who recognized me soon started whispering.
“Commander. It seems that Her Highness, the Crown Prince, is right.”
“Do you have the same face?”
“The face I saw at the Colosseum is the same.”
The commander’s expression hardened.
They were soldiers who watched the game in the Colosseum.
If Prince Reinhardt is right, now he is swearing at the crown prince, calling him “crazy.”
‘Fucked.’
I guess it’s kind of fucked up.
“Are you really the crown prince?”
“If you don’t open it within 5 seconds, I will rip out your tongue. 5, 4…”
gulp!
“Muh, open the door! these bastards! I mean, open it right now!!!”
*
Guided by the commander and soldiers of the Guardian Wall, they advanced through the capital.
In the middle, astonishment was evident in the eyes of the citizens watching the wyverns, but soon the astonishment doubled when they recognized that Prince Reinhardt was on the ship.
“The crown prince tamed the wyvern!”
“Isn’t that what the Empire failed a hundred years ago?”
“They say wyverns can’t be tamed by humans…”
Rumors spread quickly.
It took less than a few hours for the rumor to reach the palace.
‘Crown Prince Reinhard appeared with a wyvern?’
The first empress laughed.
A wyvern is a wyvern that will freeze to death.
It must have been misunderstood by ignorant people.
Taming the wyvern was a long-cherished wish that the empire had been working hard on a hundred years ago, but it failed miserably.
To think that the crown prince succeeded in that out of the blue. A passing dog would laugh at it.
“Get ready. I have to take this opportunity to suppress the prince’s spirit.”
“Yes.”
Accompanied by the Phoenix Knights and other nobles, the First Empress approached the door of the palace.
During the past week when the crown prince was away, the nobles united.
1 Prepared to counterattack the Empress from the old point of view.
Even the unbridled crown prince would be stunned to see such a number of nobles and knights.
But it didn’t take long for him to realize that it was his own illusion.
“Please, Your Highness the Crown Prince!”
thud! thud! thud!
In the distance, huge bodied wyverns were approaching, pulling their boats.
And there was Reinhardt on top of the ship.
‘crazy······.’
Seeing him, the first empress’ eyes began to tremble violently.
