The night after the conversation with the queen came out, it was very bright.
It was because the full moon that had risen was so big.
I was staring blankly at it.
‘… … It really happened.’
When I went to the civil war after hearing Ugeo’s words that the queen called me, I was dumbfounded.
I heard from the first words that I would appoint you as the crown prince.
＜… … yes?＞
＜He said he would appoint you as crown prince, Cruz.＞
To this, I couldn’t answer for a while.
The Queen laughed and continued.
＜It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you so dazed.＞
After that, he calmly explained what happened next.
The Queen said that she would reveal this publicly at the Non-Gonghang ceremony to be held two days later.
At the same time, he informed me that Morgan and Hones had come first and asked for it.
＜Not only did he prove his qualifications, but he asked me if it was right to decide this considering the future.＞
After finishing the conversation like that, until now, I found myself soaked in a strange sensibility.
Although he thought that the position of crown prince was only an intermediate course he would go through for revenge.
It was because I felt anew that it was a concept that went beyond that.
‘… … Oh, I wish it was like this in my family.’
In my previous life, I showed a foolish side and failed in some missions.
After gaining experience, he built up his performance by breaking through.
However, it has never been properly recognized by the family itself.
It was at least because of my father that I was able to rise to the candidate for head of household.
At such an age, perhaps the conviction that he could ascend to the crown prince stemmed from a defense mechanism.
It is the psychology that there will be no problem unless you are unilaterally ostracized like in your family.
[It’s been a while since I’ve seen you get wet with emotions. I’ve seen it a few times in my previous life.]
‘Noisy.’
At some point, I realized that I was confused about my identity.
Nicola Ronberg and Cruz Alexander.
Which of the two is closer?
Of course, the ego is Nicola Ronberg, but… … .
At some point, I felt that the desire to take revenge on the family and the desire to think of the kingdom as the second prince became similar.
[Is it true that they became similar? From what I can see, the latter seems to have grown bigger.]
‘… … Well, I won’t deny it.’
At first, I just intended to return to my family and get revenge.
From when I was young until right before I died, let alone the one who framed me and pushed me.
I couldn’t forgive those who took advantage of me by threatening people around me as hostages.
The reason I wanted to become the family head was for the sake of living, but there were things like that.
It was also to trample on those guys head-on.
So, when I first possessed this body, I didn’t think about the situation in the kingdom.
It was only intended to be used to avenge the family.
‘Skadi, do you remember? The river demons used power against the merchants.’
[Yes, I remember. It was like that in a place called Drude Hills.]
‘Honestly, at that time, I didn’t feel much emotion when the strong demons acted like that. But not now.’
He didn’t show it, but it wasn’t very pleasant to see soldiers dying on the battlefield.
It was truly bittersweet to see those who risked their lives to protect me.
Thinking of the possibility of spreading damage to the kingdom if defeated, even gave rise to a strange sense of mission.
The responsibility of the royal family that Hones was talking about.
I also seemed to have realized a little what the attitude of the royal family that Morgann had realized belatedly was.
‘So I thought about it, and this isn’t so strange. A seat makes a person, right?’
[Keuk-kuk, and in my previous life, I wasn’t recognized and welcomed the way I am now.]
‘… … Yes, it was.’
mongsil mongsil.
After I finished organizing my thoughts, I touched Cheon-Gak, who was quietly closing his eyes in my arms.
‘I need to find out about this guy too.’
A minion bestowed by the ancient gods on the human world in the beginning.
That was the true identity of the divine beast that Silverted said.
After thinking about it for a while, I remembered hearing something similar from the Matu people.
‘Didn’t I say that the King of Spirits was God’s agent at that time?’
[It was.]
‘Looking at that, it’s a bit different from what the Resurrection Church knows… … .’
Come to think of it, I remember that Praxia looked closely at the ceiling.
I didn’t feel like I was staring at her because she was cute like Leah.
I thought maybe he knew something about it.
‘In the end, all three came into my hands.’
Super recovery, new beast summoning, vessel of power.
The powers of the three evil spirits sealed in the Sigvarda Continent, as Sylverted said.
Currently I have them all in my hands.
When Silverted died, the heavenly spirit reacted and sucked up the super-recovery magic he possessed.
I tried it a few times for testing, and the efficacy was the level I knew.
However, if you use it beyond a certain level, a considerable burden is placed on your body.
It was not difficult to realize that Silverted’s aftereffects were caused by this.
‘I’ll have to go before the news of the installation of the crown prince is known.’
[Is there a place where you have seen it?]
‘I’m thinking of going to the Matu territory. You seem to know something about Shinsoo.’
* * *
The next day, I headed to Jeonghwan-ro with Alan.
It was to use a large maga to cross the Illami territory and head to the Matu territory.
I said calmly, riding in a large maga.
“The crown prince installation ceremony will be held in a week.”
“… … yes?”
“Yesterday, my mother said she would appoint me as crown prince. It opens in a week.”
Alan narrowed his eyes as if pondering the words.
I didn’t care and continued talking.
“I sent a letter to the Duke of Leon before leaving, so the news should have reached him by now.”
“Well, that means… … .”
“What I said last year has come true.”
At my answer, Alan jumped up from his seat and said in a slightly trembling voice.
“Chu, congratulations! Now… … .”
“You’ll be crown prince in a week.”
“Then shouldn’t we immediately inform others other than our family?”
“It will make it noisy and difficult to move, so I just put it off.”
The Rothstein family was my first supporter and helped me, so I was telling them.
“Perhaps, is this visit to inform you of this directly?”
“It is not. I have something else to find out. When that’s over, I’ll notify the Marquis and the Matu, but… … .”
“Then what are you going for?”
Without a word, I showed Alan the Celestial Spirit.
He nodded his head as if he understood my meaning.
“Do the Matu people know about that?”
“I think that is very likely.”
Right after the Resurrection Church was destroyed, I informed several people about the Celestial Spirit.
To be precise, it was about an artifact that sealed the power of evil spirits.
It was said that the great families of the Feyer continent also had this in their hands, so it was to prepare a countermeasure for this.
That target included Alan.
“Actually, when I was called yesterday, I thought you were going to ask about this.”
“Has His Majesty not said anything yet?”
“It is like that. Well, I’ll call you soon.”
Personally, I was hoping to talk about magic with the queen.
The reason was none other than growth.
If I reach 7 stars, I will definitely surpass the strength of my previous life.
In other words, in order to become stronger than that, it was necessary to realize more than the previous life.
Interacting with the Queen will be of great help in this.
‘Judging from the energy I felt before, it will be at least an 8-star intermediate level.’
Even on the Feyer continent, I felt that it was a strength that could be counted on at least three fingers.
It’s not like he revealed his exact power, so it could be more than that.
‘… … Well, even if it’s not that, I’d like to talk to you at least once.’
I had never had such an in-depth discussion about strength and power.
I was a member of a huge family, but ironically, I wasn’t in that environment… … .
Arriving at Illami’s territory, I was greeted with great hospitality and entered the territory of the Matu people.
“Welcome, poor Cruz.”
“We have heard about his performance in the war. You have become incredibly strong.”
“Thanks everyone, it wouldn’t have been possible without your help.”
Received greetings from the warriors and arrived at the place where the great warrior, Jiat, was standing.
He smiled politely and opened his mouth.
“Welcome, low. Phrexia and the head of the altar are waiting inside.”
“I want to meet the people who participated in this battle before, is that okay?”
After Silberted’s death, the Matu volunteers went back.
There were also times when the Resurrection Church was destroyed and the Gangma tribe was defeated, and the war was virtually over.
This is because the damage suffered by the Matu people who came to aid was considerable.
I had no choice but to do it because I took the role of rushing in when I was in trouble and opening the way.
“If possible, I would also like to express my condolences to the dead.”
“… … yes. Of course, lower.”
That’s how I met and greeted those who came as reinforcements after being guided by Jiart.
There were also lightly wounded among them.
Some parts of the body were damaged or severely injured that left serious aftereffects.
“Never mind, we felt the need to do so, so we went out on our own.”
“you’re right. And I have no regrets as I have experienced the heroism of the lows and the strength of the enemy.”
“… … My kingdom and I will never forget this.”
After the greetings, he visited the graves of the dead and expressed his condolences.
This action was not entirely without political intentions, but… … .
Considering human duty, this was a natural thing to do.
After meditating, I spoke to Jiat, who was standing behind me.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, can you guide me to where the Altar Head is?”
“Apologizing, it doesn’t matter. Rather, I was impressed by the way he came forward.”
“Of course you did what you had to do. They are the ones who gave their lives for me.”
After Jiat, there were Phrexia and Polon at the place where they arrived.
Seeing me, they bowed respectfully.
“Welcome, poor Cruz.”
“Long live, Fallon.”
“My name is Alan Rothstein. I’ve been following you to help you, but if you get in the way, I’ll leave.”
“It’s okay, because I heard about Prince Alan from Phlexia.”
“thank you.”
I sat down and summoned Cheon-Gak.
I had said in advance that I wanted to talk about it, so there was no sign of embarrassment.
“Kyuwoo!”
The summoned Cheon-Gak cries vigorously and rides on my shoulder.
Jiat and Praxia looked at this carefully.
It was a completely different look from those who had seen it before.
“… … Daejeonsa, after all, that’s… … .”
“Yes, but according to the records, the subject it followed… … .”
I was just waiting for you to talk in a low voice as if you were discussing each other.
Fallon, who was concentrating while covering his eyes with a cloth, slowly opened his mouth.
“Great warrior, Frexia. I will take you there.”
At this, the two gave a surprised look.
However, he nodded as if he agreed.
“Where is it?”
“Did you hear the legend about the agent of God from Praxia the other day?”
“exactly.”
“This is where the contents are recorded.”
