“Prince. Can we really go alone?
Ian started traveling to meet the 3rd Prince.
He is now in Ian’s estate. It was close enough to touch Adelas’ villa.
It was a quick ride on his horse.
While running like that, Nathan asked.
“If it’s a trap, isn’t it a big deal?”
“It must be a trap.”
“Yeah? But why are you going? Are you crazy? You are doing such a dangerous thing at this time!”
It was Ian who had now nearly defeated all the other brothers and was barely close to the first rank in the line of succession to the throne.
And the closer the coming-of-age ceremony was, the closer I got to the throne. But is it really necessary to take this risk?
But Ian’s answer did not change.
“It has to be now.”
“What is that…”
“If nowIf you don’t go, that frivolous number one priority will be meaningless.”
“yes?”
Ian knew.
That there is a dungeon of ancient artifacts hidden in his estate.
And because of that dungeon, the situation on the continent changed.
‘Even the most powerful eastern empire on this continent is moving.’
But the reason he never paid attention to it was simple.
‘It is deeply buried. We cannot find the entrance unless there is a special way.’
The ore and herbs that the Marquis Adelas were aiming for were yawns. The most important and expensive things were all in that dungeon.
And until now, the secret was perfectly kept.
‘It’s time for that to happen.’
Because of that, the uninhabited mine, which had not been used for a long time, would collapse and the entrance would be exposed.
And various traps and guardians begin to move.
In a previous life, Garcia took enormous damage and acquired the dungeon.
That wasn’t the only thing.
‘If what is written in Ceres’ notebook is correct… there is one of the Seven Great Masters.’
For Ion, it was a must-have.
One of his strongest rivals, the Third Prince, couldn’t get it.
So that was the problem.
Because the information he knew about his previous life was only part of it.
‘I only know the opening time and existence. He didn’t tell me how he actually got it.’
It was because the content was considered confidential even within Garcia.
Thanks to this, Ion only knew very superficial information.
Fortunately, in this life, Duke Garcia was under a pension, so it was normal not to interfere.
‘I’m sure your brother will go there.’
Ian recalled the sentences written in Ceres’ notebook. One of them was obviously similar to the coat of arms of Ion’s territory, Helgaia’s territory.
It was clear that the 3rd Prince had also checked and found it through a different route.
But that wasn’t the point now.
‘Why did you call me now?’
He was the third prince who had been quietly searching for traces of the seven generations of masters and music.
But does he even contact himself?
It was definitely a different flow from the previous life.
Well, I didn’t know it was natural.
‘Originally, he is the third prince who should have died in the civil war with Garcia.’
But he still survived.
That’s not enough. The person who should be his greatest strength was next to Ian.
At Ian’s eyes, Nathan jumped.
“why? Why am I looking at you with those eyes again?”
“I just saw it.”
“Why are you doing this again, anxiously? What are you going to do this time?”
“I don’t do it.”
However, Nathan was not a trustworthy face at all.
Rather, his face became paler.
From a long time ago, it was said that what would happen if Ion looked like that.
‘Nothing good ever happened. Whoa!’
It was the same thing with the 1st Princess.
‘What else is this person going to do this time?’
Nathan broke out in a cold sweat.
But Ian had already turned his gaze.
‘It’s not about my brother or the contents of the letter that matter.’
Ian’s eyes lit up.
Suddenly, the Hellgaia estate began to appear in the distance.
Nathan asked with sullen eyes.
“But are we really going alone? There must be a lot of 3 princes and knights over there, right?”
“why? Are you scared?”
“no. The prince is a trap! No matter how good a knight I am, I am not Galon, I am confident that I will completely protect the prince…”
“Do not keep.”
“yes?”
“Sir Nathan, you can run rampant on your own. I protect my body. So I just picked it up because they gave me candy over there.Don’t go.”
“No, it’s not like that, is it?”
Nathan jumped out of his seat.
“It’s difficult if you’re too proud to say that you’ve become stronger.”
“Then, shall we do a match after a long time?”
At those words, he turned his head as if he had become Nathan.
It was because Ian had not competed for a long time because his skills had improved by leaps and bounds.
In the fortress training, it was enough to hold a little posture from the side.
‘The last time we fought, we barely won.’
But that non-human prince was getting stronger and stronger.
He didn’t seem to have shown all his skills at all.
‘Thirty percent of his skills are told to hide. It feels like that yangban is hiding 70%.’
It wasn’t even a fight.
“Anyway, no! The two of us will never go together! The 3rd Prince knows what he will do. If anything happens, I will die by that Galon.”
“I thought it would be a surprise, so I called reinforcements.”
“yes? Who?”
“There it is.”
“?”
Nathan’s head turned.
Surely, as Ian said, there were people waiting in front of the estate.
It is bright enough to be seen from a distance.
For a moment, Nathan’s eyes widened.
“That one… that one!”
*
Helgaia.
Nathan, who entered Ian’s estate, could not keep his mouth shut.
“Is this…really that rural town back then?”
“Has it changed a lot?”
“It hasn’t changed a lot, is it?”
Hel Gaia, Ian’s estate, was a typical ruined estate. However, what was in front of him now was a manor that looked beyond a medium-sized city to a large city.
But Ian smiled as if it wasn’t a big deal.
“Is the money I sent you a penny or two? If it doesn’t go like this, it’s difficult.”
“How the hell did you spend…”
“Half of the property of the second prince and half of the royal treasury of Bahara.”
“yes?”
The treasures in the second prince’s palace were not worth a penny or two.
All the gold and wealth he had gained as heir to the royal family were piled up like a mountain. It’s something I’ve been collecting for almost my entire life.
Besides, what about Bahara?
‘There must have been expensive relics that could not be measured in money if it was a royal warehouse?’
That’s almost the budget of a country, isn’t it?
No, I could think of it as the annual budget of the Empire, not the Kingdom.
To put all of that wealth into one estate.
It’s snotty, but in a country estate.
“G.. are you saying that out of your mind now?”
“This will be the center of the kingdom in the future. That kind of investment makes sense.”
“It’s central, don’t be kidding. This is a bit of a joke, but this land is a land that no other country has ever crossed…well, it looks like it would be coveted by this.”
Anyway, that’s why the king was not willing to give it up.
But Ian’s words were no joke.
If only the dungeon was developed properly, it could become the center of the continent rather than the kingdom.
‘All the secrets of this dungeon were not unlocked until I died.’
So Ion spared no investment in Helgaia.
He bought slaves, cut taxes, and raked people up to make them big cities.
He raised soldiers as well as mercenaries to equip them with the appropriate force.
Even in a city of this size, there was no crime because of the strong public power.
So Ian smiled.
“Wait and you will find out. So let’s go this way. And even if it’s hard for you, be patient. It’s difficult to show up now.”
At Ian’s words, the mysterious armored warriors who followed Ion shook their heads.it was thanks
Asked Nathan, who looked at him with displeasure.
“Prince? Where are you going? Isn’t that the permanent residence?”
“I do not go to permanent residence.”
“Yes? why..”
Nathan tried to ask something more, but he didn’t ask any more.
“Who are you?”
Nathan sensed something and drew his sword. It wasn’t his usual playful look.
Life felt like a battlefield in Nathan’s eyes.
But Ian pushed him back.
“it’s okay. Step away.”
“However. Prince.”
“This is the one I called.”
“yes?”
As Nathan left, a man appeared from the alley.
He was a man with the appearance of a shabby beggar.
“The captain told me to give it to you.”
He stretched out his hand and gave him a note.
Ian immediately confirmed the contents.
[There is a spy inside the castle. The 3rd Prince establishes a garrison near the uninhabited mine. 5 knights. There are no soldiers, but it looks like a trap has been created. careful]
It was just as he had envisioned.
“It seems that my brother is properly aiming for my life.”
“!”
If you break through this trap, you’ll hear that information.
if you get hit like that.
‘You will lose your life, let alone information.’
Of course, that was the story when I was hit without knowing anything.
“If we go to the lord’s castle like this, all of our strength will be revealed. And I will guide you to the trap.”
But it seemed that Nathan wasn’t the one who was surprised.
I was also surprised that the 3rd Prince dared to put an intruder into the lord’s castle, but it was because of the man who handed him a note and disappeared.
“The hell… who was the author?”
Even though he didn’t use the [Oath], it was moving enough to avoid the sight of the knight’s body.
It had to be surprising.
Ian smiled.
“These are the people who work under me. They are the ones who watch over the territory.”
“Are you watching?”
“I was afraid that there would be people who commit creepy things like the 3rd Prince hyung.”
Ian chuckled.
“Now, shall we go see my brother who is waiting for me eagerly?”
*
The 3rd Prince was in the forest on the outskirts of Helgaia.
Unusually in a terrifying mood, he pulled out his two-handed sword and held it with his two hands.
It was a really sad expression.
That was then.
“Are you really going to give that information to the 7th Prince? It will have a huge impact on the succession war.”
The other knights intervened in the words of the knight who was guarding him.
“you’re right. I don’t think that bloody 7th Prince will help.”
“Why don’t we do it together?”
“If you are the 3rd Prince, you can do it alone.”
Then the 3 prince shook his head.
His dungeon side was somehow able to solve it on his own line.
However.
“An enemy too powerful to fight alone.”
“In vain, to the other brothers . . .”
“To whom? To the second older brother who lost his arm to the youngest? Or is it to the nerdy fourth in the closet?”
To be honest, it was something I didn’t expect at all.
3 Seeing the prince’s gaze, the knight bowed his head.
“Isn’t there still one princess left?”
“You are my sister…”
But the 3rd Prince shook his head.
No matter how much I thought about it, she was not the first princess.
Seeing that, the knight tilted his head.
“But wouldn’t it be better than the 7th Prince? To believe in that little prince…”
“That’s what you say to the hero of the Bahara.”
“They say you’re a hero. He’s a young kid. nowWhat the 3rd Prince needs is a strong alliance.
The third prince patted the knight on the shoulder.
“I don’t know what Lord Barang is worried about.”
“If that’s the case…”
“Then there is no need for a test.”
“A test?”
“If you can’t even pass this trivial test, you don’t even deserve to stand next to me.”
The enemy he had to deal with was an existence that simply could not be defeated by force alone.
It was all because of this that he, who was once a powerful heir to the throne, was hanged by the seven generations of juseon and seventh lords.
He had to somehow get his hands on his mighty force.
‘Will the youngest guy be able to break through my trap and come this far?’
That was the minimum qualification he had to stand next to.
But it was that moment.
“what? older brother? Were you here?”
“!
The three princes’ eyes widened at the familiar voice.
