17 Who Are You?
#
“W.. where are you?”
Unlike the casual Ian, Galon and Nathan. The faces of the two men were worth seeing.
A living room large enough to run.
A decorative cabinet adorned with expensive-looking decorations and various jewels.
The terrace on the second floor where you can see the peacock house at a glance.
Truly a beautiful room where you can see the wealth of the peasant family…
“What is this dilapidated stable!”
was not
And at Nathan’s cry, Galon clicked his tongue and corrected it.
“Nayson. It looks like a dirty barn, but it’s a decent reception room. It was just out of control.”
“That’s it!”
Nathan was furious as he looked around.
Ian actually scans the room, sweeping away the dust that had accumulated on the desk.
‘It’s the same here.’
Shouldn’t it be a cold place with no warmth?
It looks like it hasn’t been used for a long time, and white cloth is strewn all over the furniture. It was full of dust and cobwebs.
After all, this is the room he stayed in for 10 years.
And above all.
‘I am being attacked here today.’
That’s the first problem you will encounter here.
However, Ian smiled brightly even though my life was in danger.
“The room is dirty, but maybe we didn’t clean it because we arrived earlier than expected?”
But at his words, Nathan and Gallon’s expressions turned strange.

Most of all, Nathan and Gallon seemed to know the place very well.
“Hey, prince. Actually, cleaning is not a problem.”
“sure?”
When Galon looked at the portrait in the center and was about to reply, Nathan grabbed the servant by the collar first.
“Who assigned you to this cursed room!”
“!”
“Are you the mayor? Or the second Confucius, Heinli?”
“I don’t know. I’m just guiding you as ordered.”
“Anyway, Prince, this cursed annex is not allowed. There must have been some misunderstanding, but not here.”
But Ian laughed instead of answering.
Although he did not express it, it was because it was a room that Ian could not know without knowing.
‘Until I came, no one in the duke had ever touched this place.’
After all, this was the place where people died.
What is more, this is the room used by the first duke, and the locationIt’s a good room for both enemies and furniture, but if anyone uses this place for a long time, people will get weird.
For example, do you hear ghosts? It is a grotesque place where it would not be strange if anyone died.
‘Maybe that’s why we assigned this room.’
It is the joke of his second son who was supposed to stick with his entourage.
Is it because you know that?
“Bring the chieftain right now!”
Nathan stared at the servant. When I first came in, I was skeptical, but seeing the portrait of the first duke hung, it was certain.
“Are you planning on having the prince in a room like this now?”
He immediately wanted to change the room.
“If you don’t come, I will.”
But it was then.
“Sir Nathan! Wait.”
“Prince?”
Ian shook his head as if he had done it.
“I am fine. The duke could not have made a mistake about this, so this is the right room.”
“However···!”
Ian secretly raised the corners of his lips.
‘Life is a comedy from afar, but a tragedy from a close look.’
He was the same with himself.
In the past, I was afraid to be in this ugly place, so I visited the duke every day.
Although he was neglected by such a duke and struggled with loneliness.
It wasn’t anymore.
No, it had to be here now.
‘The duke’s third son has unraveled the secrets of this place.’
The secret endowed his third son with tremendous power.
And the duke’s third son started traveling around the continent with that power.
[Adventure King Karan]
‘It is said that his legend started here.’
But what if he had that power himself?
‘War of succession, of course, he can get the power to face the duke.’
Of course, even the Duke didn’t know what was in this room.
His third son, Karan, remained silent on that side. It’s just the result of an investigation by the duke’s secret task force.
‘Somewhere here it is.’
If Karan finds it, he will most likely find it himself.
The only problem is that on the first day, he is assassinated here.
‘The culprit is predictable.’
Those who were convinced that Ion would be a useful piece for the Duke of Garcia were trying to assassinate him.
It’s just the boys’ mistakes.
quiver
“this! Prince. Be careful!”
Galon blocked Ion’s front. It was because the floor he deliberately stepped on was so old that he didn’t know it might break.
And Ion laughed at the still appearance.
‘Yeah, everything here is old.’
To the extent that the assassin shattered the ceiling and fell to the floor.
In the end, Nathan went out the door saying it couldn’t be done.
“Don’t worry. We will check it out immediately and move you to a better room.”
But Ian smiled bitterly.
‘Then no. Rather, I have to be here so I can survive the first day.’
Just because you’ve survived in the past doesn’t mean you’ll survive this time as well.
Rather, as it was a situation that was different from the past, I could have died from an absurd event before the age of 27, when everything was in front of me. That is why I had to be thorough in everything.
Besides, that wasn’t the only advantage.
Rumors are also rumors, and the annex here is a quiet place not often visited by the duke’s attendants.
‘It’s perfect for staying and building up your strength.’
However, Ian’s bitter laugh seemed to have been conveyed to Nathan and Gallon in a different way.
“Well, did you hear me? Take the lead! I will have to meet the mayor in person!”
“Prince. You don’t have to be patient. I will tell the Duke himself.”
“Or by beating Hein-Lee…”
But Ian shook his head.
He had a job he had to get through the first night safely.
“It’s not that important right now. I will not stand still. thenCan you help me in a sense?”
“Yes, whatever it is.”
Galon stepped forward and her eyes lit up.
It was a look that was sure to do any command.
Nathan also expected Ian’s words.
But Nathan soon nearly collapsed from soaring blood pressure.
“Help me clean up here.”
It was because Ion’s smile was so bright that he was pampering the knights.

“Are you okay? Mayor?”
The servant chief bit his lip at the words of the servant who supported him.
He didn’t say anything. He had been beaten badly by the peacock.
But the chaplain he took on something more important than what he suffered.
“What about Master Heinri?”
“I… that’s…”
The servant was reluctant to speak. But he barely opened his mouth as if he had no choice but to keep pushing.
“Even though you are being treated…the scars left on your face and teeth are so large that you may not be able to erase them for the rest of your life…”
The chieftain grinded his teeth.
The second Confucius, though unknown to other Confucius, is the blood and blood of the duke raised by the vassal like a child.
“How dare you make the second Confucius like that…”
His anger was directed at Ian, not the Duke.
‘You’re starting out with something that doesn’t matter.’
I thought that all of this happened because Ian stimulated the duke.
At the very least, Hein-ri’s sin was not a sin by the standards of the chieftain.
I did.
“The insignificant bastard…”
He was displeased with Ian, who muttered a little.
In addition, there were orders from the duke.
[I have quite a bit of flair, but for the sake of the cause, I have to make it impossible to climb as much as possible.]
[Don’t you think so, chief servant?]
Now it was clear what the chieftain had to do.
Unsurprisingly, the servant asked with a worried expression.
“I.. Chief Servant. But are you really okay with the prince’s accommodation there?”
The mayor laughed lightly.
“I just kept the order to give the prince the best room.”
Of course, it was his second son, Lee, who specifically decided on the room.
And I thought it was his second son’s mistake, so I informed the Duke in advance.
[It is rather good. If you stay in that room, that bubbly guy will also soften a lot. He is better when he is debilitating. You will find that it is a little scary.]
After all, the duke is thorough and scary. He was a man who not only his own children, but also the royal family used it as a hand.
But the servant looked perplexed.
“Ha… But isn’t that room where the mind of the person who enters it becomes strange? Not one or two attendants who went in for cleaning and suffered a nervous breakdown . . . even the Duchess . . ”
“Where do you tease that light mouth?”
“Sorry, I’m sorry.”
The mayor looked at the servant.
He brings up topics that should never be in the duke’s house.
‘I thought I was good at my job, but I’m like a cheap guy.’
But the mayor did not show any expression.
“It doesn’t matter if there is a problem. The only thing the Duke needs is his blood.”
Didn’t the peacock say that too?
[A month after going to the royal castle anyway. You just have to look fine until the proof. From then on, you will have to stay in this castle forever.]
The moment it becomes clear that Ian is the prince. He will not be able to leave the duke’s castle forever until the duke needs it.
Unless he convinces the duke that it’s usable.
‘But as long as you live in an outhouse like that on an isolated island. It could never happen.’
If you continue to suffer like that, you will come to know your subject.
The chieftain gave a vicious smile.
“Oh, don’t send gasoline for cleaning in that room. He said he’d clean it up on his own.”
“Yes? Wouldn’t that be an amount that little girl could handle on her own? Ah, the knights by my side…”
“Huh, I’m proud of myselfCan the men help with such a thing! After all, they’ll be out of the duke’s house for training today.”
Even if the knights wanted to take them away, they were so thorough and proud that even the great nobles and royalty could put their tongues on them.
‘You’re asking for something you can’t even use, you idiot.’
If that’s the case, then it will be a plaything for the knights.
The waitress smiled and headed to the restaurant.
But at that moment, the chaplain did not see.
‘Prince Ian. Well, I must have understood the duke’s intentions, the job would be easy without the knights.’
The servant who is supporting the chieftain, no, the bloody gaze of the assassin.

“Damn, cleaning that I can’t even sell…”
Nathan squirmed in the water North dust and waved his hands. At the same time, he shouted at Gallon, who was constantly cleaning without a word.
“hey! Galon! Say something too! Does this make sense! Why is the knight cleaning!”
Nathan’s displeasure was understandable.
A knight is the best power that royalty or nobles can have. To simply clean up the highest power that can capture the castle with just one person…!
It was even more embarrassing that they had to follow where they had to clean, why they had to do it, and their skill was so great that they had no choice but to follow them.
In the end, Nathan’s dissatisfaction with the apron, Galon, who was cleaning, kicked his tongue.
“I can’t help it. It’s a place where servants don’t come often.”
To be honest, none of the servants came here.
No matter how many servants they did, it was because there were no people loyal enough to Ian to risk their lives for cleaning.
“So is this lunch! Did you bring this with you as rice?”
Soup on plain white bread.
Ribs with only a little meat attached.
Of course, there were dishes that serfs and commoners could not see. It was at a level that would be ridiculous for the knights who were accustomed to fine dining.
No, I can’t even eat it.
Ian ate it with a calm face.
‘As expected, the materials are of the highest quality.’
It was nothing compared to the meal I ate when I was a serf, and at least I ate more than this on the battlefield where food was not plentiful.
‘Well, if it’s normal, you should use the restaurant in the annex.’
However, due to Ian’s sudden visit, the cook is not ready.
“Obviously, the chaplain must have done something. It is a story that every family member of the Duke knows that he loves his second son, Nom-Pang. But what? Do you suddenly disappear after meeting with a duke? It was funny and sat down.”
He was slurred like a knight. As for the notice and news, it was a possible reasoning because Nathan was faster than anyone else.
But this time he was wrong.
‘There’s no way a mere maid of honor could do something like this. Maybe it was done by the peacock ship?’
Of course, it wasn’t so bad in the past. At least they sent someone to clean it up.
But it didn’t matter.
‘It was much better. It’s hard to find out what I’m looking for.’
To Ian, this annex was like a bonanza.
Well, it’s best to find the power that Karan, who was the third Confucius, had, but even if he couldn’t find it, there were plenty of things he could get here.
‘So here, I make my own power within the Duke’s Castle.’
It was essential to deal with those wretched princes and princesses.
But that was the time.

‘!’
While cleaning alone, Ian found something under the bed.
‘found.’
Ian smiled.
I couldn’t be sure yet, but I’m sure Karan had found it.
That was the moment I thought about it.
Ian couldn’t help but be surprised.
smart
Because someone was knocking on the door.
