“Do you want me to go back?”
Leonic flinched involuntarily.
‘Will you release me? Are you really going to release me?’
No, it wasn’t even the slightest expectation.
Although he was deprived of the crown prince position by the second prince.
But it was because he thought that if he went back now, she could take her place again.
So Leonic asked in a very excited voice.
“Are you really going to make me go back?”
pounding
His eyes were also with him, as if asking him to return to Kantum.
Seeing that, Ian smirked.
“No, am I crazy? Will you release the fish you caught?”
“!”
For a moment, Leonic was at a loss for words.
He quickly understood the situation. Then he got up from his seat at Ieon’s eyes as if teasing him.
“Did you just mean to make fun of me?”
bang!
He was so excited that his chair fell.
But that was the moment.
shudder!
The sword flew faster than he could get up.
Suddenly, a sharp blade was placed in front of his neck and chest.
“Stop taking a seat. I am the Crown Prince?”
“I will not tolerate rude behavior toward Prince Ian.”
were knights.
And to the extent that it seemed as if the Crown Prince had stopped at the actions of the young knights.
However, there was another reason for Leonic to stop.
‘This guy. whenever..’
Chaeeng.
A single sword swaying in front of his eyes.
straight swordThe owner, Ian, was the problem.
It was a problem with his bloody eyes as if he was overpowering himself.
‘When the hell did you pick the sword?’
He didn’t even hear the sound of the sword being drawn.
No, he couldn’t even see him holding his sword even though he was right in front of him.
The ability to avoid his own eyes with his excellent swordsmanship skills.
That much, Ian’s sword was stealthy and quick.
But the other knights looked at them for granted.
‘The master is someone who trains every single day. The growth is astonishing.’
‘Recently, it’s been quite a knife in my body. If you were my disciple, wouldn’t you have to do something like this?’
Does Ion think of
His hard work, passion, and talent were recognized by Gallon and Nathan. Of course, it was natural to win Leonic, who had hardened his body as a prisoner of war.
But yes or no.
With a look of disinterest, Ion put his sword in and sat down.
And when he saw himself looking at him like his servant, Leonick flinched slightly.
Because he was still slumped.
Seeing that, Ion said in a chic voice.
“Aren’t you going to sit down? It looks like my leg hurts.”
“My legs are only this much…”
“Go back to your seat.”
Ian commanded as if growling.
Leonic was overwhelmed by his momentum and had no choice but to sit in his original seat without realizing it.
Seeing this, the knights put their swords in and returned to their original positions.
But Leonick exclaimed as if he would not lose.
“Since then, Von has been the Crown Prince of the Empire. If you thought that you would fall flat like a dog by intimidating in this way, you would be wrong.”
“Threat? Don’t you think so?”
“Then what on earth are you thinking of making fun of me like this?”
“I. I thought I could help you.”
“If it’s a pun, it’s boring now. Tell me from the beginning.”
Ian smiled like a bad boy.
“Give me what you need right now.”
“What I need right now is your neck.”
“Is that a bit difficult? This neck is kind of precious. How about this instead?”
Ian took his body closer towards Leonick.
“The reason the second prince was able to usurp your seat is Leonic Khan. Because you are not there.”
“Are you saying that now?”
“I’m serious. With you alone, Cantum began to crumble.”
“?”
Leonic looked at Ion as if he were talking about something.
But he was sincere.
‘I’m not a guy to ignore just because I was caught.’
Leonic overwhelmingly defeated dozens of members of the Imperial Family and took the throne as the Crown Prince.
He has perfected not only his swordsmanship skills, but also his political sense as well as leading a faction.
If he hadn’t been caught by him, he would have easily ascended to the emperor and waged a continental war.
‘But it’s a problem because it’s so good.’
Cantum is a great empire.
In such an empire, of course, the number of the Crown Prince’s limbs had to be large.
And Leonic cleverly balances power.
He only let himself stand on it.
There was a problem.
When the Crown Prince was captured by Kai Stein, the men under him started to fight.
Ian slowly drank tea.
“Aren’t the things below crazy about their rice bowl fights?”
“····.”
“The Crown Prince. No, I didn’t even know that the second prince was aiming for that gap and cutting them one by one.”
It was a fact that Leonic knew well.
He had yet to unilaterally hear the contents of Cantum, but it was because he was contacted by someone he had secretly contacted anyway.
Actually, I was very upset by the news.
‘stupid guys. That he was blinded by a few pennies and was taken advantage of by the second prince.’
Those who did not listen were being taken advantage of by the second prince one by one and being dealt with.
Some even hold hands with him.
It was all because there was no commander named Leonic.
“What can you do if you won’t let me go anyway?”
So it was a look of what to do.
Without Ion’s help, I was able to hear the news of Kantum.
What he needs right now is to get out of here.
He had to direct his men himself.
Only then did Ion bring out the main point.
“Isn’t it enough if you can only contact me outside?”
“What?”
“I’ll let you talk face-to-face rather than a one-way street like now. So that you can move the people of Cantum.”
“!”
Leonic put on a puzzled expression.
“It’s absurd. can you do that?”
No, it was a look of disbelief.
It was natural.
“If it’s something like this, would the king have to allow it? But even if you become the Crown Prince. I will not give you permission.”
Leonic was deprived of the crown prince’s seat.
No matter how old he is, he is a former Crown Prince. His exploits were plentiful.
But Ian smiled.
“I can.”
“!”
He was sincere.
In fact, there was a possible reason.
‘If they’re after Bahara, they’re aiming for Kantum…’
And soon, if [Brazil] strikes the Holy Empire, everything will go as they wish.
As long as King Elaine was not a fool, it was clear that he would allow it.
Unless it’s not going to cause Kaistein to get involved too.
“And it really doesn’t matter if you don’t allow it.”
“what..”
Ian’s eyes turned to Leonic.
‘It’s the fish I caught. If you don’t like it, you can take it to Bahara and stop.’
That moment. Leonic’s eyebrows soared.
‘What kind of eyes…’
It was the eyes of a beast.
No, it was almost as if he could feel the eyes of a beast looking at him again.
But Leonick shook his head.
“That is not enough. He cannot change the hearts of his men.”
“why?”
“I am just a trooper captured by the 7th Prince. Because he has already lost his honor as the Crown Prince.”
“Huh?”
Leonic wasn’t stupid.
He was judging himself more thoroughly than ever.
“It would be difficult if at least we couldn’t get out of this country on our own.”
Only then can the crown prince’s seat be returned.
So Leonic said with a serious look.
“I promise. let me go Then again, I will not aim for you and Kaistein again.”
“really?”
“of course. I promise you on my honor.”
“Still, it’s a bit difficult to let go…”
Leonick shook his head slightly.
It was because it made no sense to release it even if he thought about it.
Then Ian’s voice was heard.
“I promise instead. I will give you back the throne without releasing him.”
“What?”
“Isn’t it enough to get the crown prince’s seat back without leaving this place?”
Leonic’s eyes fluttered wildly.
He was astonished not only by himself, but also by the other knights, as if he could not believe it.
So, Leonic had no choice but to ask with calm eyes.
“What should I do in return?”
Ian smiled bitterly.
*
Cardinal Cesare was in a bad mood.
‘Does it get in the way of my dreams?’
It is the prophecy of the saint.
It had been entangled in his chest for several days.
But he is a thorough man.“Cardinal Cesare, are you here?”
“Today is the day to see your Majesty.”
“yes.”
It was possible to smile as usual without any expression.
But he never stood still.
‘The saint’s prophecy is absolute. She somehow has to deal with the seven princes.’
So, the first thing to do was shake up the 7 Princes.
He cautiously called the priest behind him.
“Did you send the letter I asked you to send?”
“of course. You should have arrived by now.”
“Are there any problems?”
“The second prince of Cantum. No, everything has been done so that the Crown Prince can move as soon as he receives the letter.”
“Good job.”
The 2nd Prince of Cantum was supported by her organization.

Moreover, the former Crown Prince was overthrown, and she even took over her military power as he became Crown Prince.
‘Move him to hit Bahara.’
When Bahara was attacked, King Ion had no choice but to return.
No, he’s a problem if he doesn’t go back.
‘A king who neglects his people is never forgiven.’
At the very least, Bahara is a land of warriors.
He would never forgive a king who was crazy about Kaistein’s throne and said he didn’t know his own country.
It was even more so because it is a country with a precedent for cutting the head of a king who escaped from an enemy attack in the past with an axe.
But Cesare’s expression was not good.
‘This alone is not enough.’
Currently, the 7th Prince Ion was overwhelmingly supported by the knights and the people.
I had to cut it all off.
‘Garcia, Kaistein’s great power, cannot move right now. Lavaltor is on their side.’
Then it was his turn to use the tile he had brought for a long time.
It is the fact that he came from a branch of the Adriatic family.
Cesare asked the Marquis Adelas.
“Marquis. Do you remember that I came from the Adriatic family in the past?”
“Huh… if that’s the case, I know well…”
After Adelas, the little one suddenly frowned, saying why are you talking about that?
It was a little dangerous story for the royal family.
But Cesare smiled.
“As you know, the duke of Adria was destroyed by plotting. What do you think about restoring that family even now?”
Startle
Cesare whispered quietly to the gaze of Marquis Adelas.
“If the Duke of Adria is resurrected, I will be the only blood relative. Perhaps it is better to come from a duke family than to be a self-writer to marry the first princess.”
“But… it is…”
Cesare can’t stand it.
After Adelas, the little one bit his mouth firmly as if it would never be allowed.
But Cesare’s words were like the whispers of a snake.
“Don’t worry. Even if I become a peacock. Will you forget the Marquis who gave me for me?”
“Ummm…”
“If that’s the case… I will accept the Marquis-sama’s children as my adopted children. How are you?”
“!”
From https://noblemtl.com
Marquis Adelas’ eyes widened.
The corners of his lips rose for the first time.
“I hope my son will be the next duke…”
“I just want to receive the position I deserve as the husband of the first princess. We will return everything else to the Marquis, with only the name given.”
“····.”
The Marquis Adelas was in trouble.
Although he would hang the plaque of the Duke of Adria, not Adelas.
‘Will one of my descendants become a duke?’
It was the perfect deal for Adelas, who had always dreamed of becoming a duke.
At the very least, if the duke of Adria was resurrected, he could even get a justification to keep other dukes in check.
Even if I destroy other dukes like thatif.
‘A Marquise of Adelas may become a duke.’
The eldest son is the Duke of Adelas.
The other child is the Duke of Adria.
Both dukes could fall into the hands of the Marquis Adelas.
So Adelas’ eyes began to fill with greed.
“I’m going to tell your Majesty your fortune right away today.”
“You thought well.”
That was when Cesare put on a sinister smile.
That was the moment.
“Your Majesty refused to be interviewed.”
“what? why?”
From https://noblemtl.com
Marquis Adelas was genuinely perplexed.
We need to talk about the marriage between the First Princess and Cardinal Cesare and the Duke of Adria.
He had no choice but to ask the chieftain why he was like that.
But it was that moment.
“The interview is not important now! It’s a civil war! Civil war broke out in Cantum.”
“What?”
A civil war in the empire next to Kaistein.
The problem wasn’t just that.
“The Crown Prince of Cantum has requested assistance from Kaistein. It’s a nickname for all the ministers to get together now!”
The marriage was no longer important.
It was time to think that it was more important to end the civil war in Cantum soon.
But there is a problem.
“Prince Ian says he is seeing your Majesty.”
“what···”
“It is said that the first princess and the former Crown Prince of Kantum are betrothed.”
“What?”
Things were getting weirder.
