The reason Ion was looking for a fortune teller was simple.
‘I mean, it’s an odd fit. That prophecy.’
The fortune-teller, whom Prince Leonic met, left this prophecy.
[I will meet you at a place led by foot, not the promised meeting. Prince]
[And he will make you the emperor of history]
It is said that there was no hesitation at all, as if he knew the future.
In a way, it was a method commonly used by street fortune tellers.
A method of giving the illusion that you know the future of the other person by misrepresenting the contents of the outline.
But Ian was not deceived.
‘The reason that Leonic, who should have gone somewhere else, came to Rabadum is because of the fortune teller’s words.’
He knew his past life.
That is why he immediately recognized that the fortune-teller had changed the future with a single word.
It was like the prophecy of the saint.
But that didn’t make sense.
‘A street fortune teller is the only star in the Holy Empire. Does he make the same level of prophecy as a saint?’
Of course he had to win.
‘Is it a misunderstanding that it felt like the words he left to come to me?’
No, it was not an illusion.
So we had to meet.
For some reason, meeting the fortune teller made him feel as if he would know a certain secret.
But I couldn’t meet Leonic right away like this.
shudder!
The servant’s appearanceA sharp sword and spear blocked Ion.
“It is forbidden to enter from here.”
“Go back.”
The men who blocked Ion had an ugly look.
If he took even one more step, he would be really stabbed.
Those who guard Prince Leonic’s barracks.
If it was a normal soldier, I would put it to sleep and go inside.
“Why are you staring at me like that?”
“no. knights. I mistook another barracks. Let’s go back right away.”
“Get out of here before you get upset.”
Article.
There was not even a single gap in those who were chosen and chosen by the 1st Princess.
It didn’t look like it could be easily passed through.
In addition, the entrance to the surrounding barracks was open toward Leonic’s barracks.
If there was even a slight disturbance, the soldiers would immediately come to the rescue.
Seeing that, Ian smiled.
‘You are doing well.’
Apparently, Princess 1 had listened to him.
Someone might have access to the rheonic, so keep an eye on it.
The ones who are actually monitoring him are the most outstanding and reliable among the Knights of the 1st Princess.
Of course, no one had access to this barracks.
‘It means that they are suspicious in themselves to penetrate these people and come into contact with Leonic.’
Now there was only one way to get inside.
It’s the 1st Princess and her pre-promised way.
So Ian carefully looked around the barracks and then went back to Nathan again.
It was the queen’s barracks.
By the way.
“Aww. Why are you so hungry? I wish someone had roasted some pork.”
Nathan, who was next to the 1st princess, was still giggling towards Ion.
He was hiding behind the princess’s back, and his eyes lit up as if in a funny way.
It’s like he’s going to get revenge for what he’s been through.
Ian shook his head softly.
‘Well, Lord Nathan must have accumulated a lot during that time.’
It wasn’t the first time Ion had tormented him.
Besides, a sudden engagement.
As Nathan, a free spirit, it was surprising how well he endured without running away.
But the joke was over.
“Sir Nathan.”
“yes?”
Ian whispered quietly, avoiding the people around him.
“Do it in moderation. Sir Nathan.”
It was a slightly growling voice.
At the very least, Ion shot his life so that only Nathan could feel it.
It was then that Nathan was taken aback.
“haha. Hmmmm. not. I saw my stomach go out quickly. I guess I’ll have to sleep from now on…”
Nathan tried to run away from Ion, who was the servant.
But there was no rush.
“When you say something nice . . . come out.”
“No… I like this place?”
“If you really want to be your sister’s husband, you can stay.”
“Hmmmm. I still wanted to get some fresh air, but it worked.”
Ian was able to come out with Nathan like that.
Of course, just before leaving, he didn’t forget to exchange the eyes of the 1st princess.
‘Then let’s get started.’
nod.
At Ion’s eyes, the princess 1 nodded her head.

Ian and Nathan returned to Leonic’s tent.
Then the knights stopped them again.
“Stop.”
“Long time no see. Sir Helken.”
“Even Lord Nathan cannot pass this place.”
The knights’ faces were determined.
But Nathan whispered to them with a flirtatious expression.
“haha. This is the name of the 1st Princess.”
“yes? What is that…”
“It’s a consideration for future husbands… to build friendships…”It wasn’t a joke.
In fact, Nathan was announced as betrothed to her 1st princess, and she was promised Empress when Leonick became emperor.
She was absurd, but she was the concubine of the 1st princess Nathan became her queen.
This is the part that Leonic also agreed with.
‘Of course Sir Nathan doesn’t know.’
It would have been better not to know.
But the expression on Nathan’s good-natured eyes wasn’t good.
She even seemed trembling as if she had read her own future at the words that they were her husbands.
The knights who did not know that nodded their heads.
“but. You need to make friends before you go to Cantum.”
“In order to serve her 1st princess in the future, it would be better to harmonize with her wives.”
She even went so far as to give her advice towards Nathan.
It was to work harder to capture the heart of her 1st princess.
“Here’s the drink I’ve been saving. Share this with the Crown Prince.”
“I’ll take it, but… ha…”
Nathan received a drink from the knights.
That way, Ian was able to head inside with Nathan with a poopy expression on his face.
Inside, Leonic was lying on a bed to greet him.
“Five? Have you come second?”
“…”
At Leonic’s vision, Nathan’s face wrinkled miserably.
No matter how much the plan was, he had a face that he hated too much.
Nathan spotted the maids behind Leonic with a relaxed expression.
“Even though he is a former Crown Prince, he is a maidservant on the battlefield. Isn’t that too harsh?”
“haha. Are you sure you are even speculating?”
“what? Speculation? I’m done talking now…”
“Don’t worry. It’s not because of love that Mana cares about me.”
“No, that’s not what I mean!”
Nathan shouted with a sad expression on his face.
Leonick grinned and beckoned to her maids.
“Everyone get out.”
“Yes.”
There was something to be quiet about.
It was when the maids passed by quietly to escape.
right at that moment.
puck!
Ian, who had been her quiet one, knocked down her maid.
The remaining maid screamed in surprise.
“This… what is this…”
But she had no time to scream.
Surprised that her handmaiden had fallen, Nathan unknowingly knocked down the remaining handmaiden.
“Wow… Prince?”
Nathan called Ion with a puzzled expression.
He first knocked him down, so he knocked it down together, but it was a face asking for an explanation.
He was even trying to pull out his sword in order to check Leonic, who had pulled out his sword halfway.
But Ian stopped Nathan with a calm expression.
“Stay still.”
“However..”
“It was on purpose. Isn’t that right?”
As Ion looked at Leonic, he asked back with a surprised expression.
“How did know?”
“Yeah. Of course. Your eyes are different.”
“her···”
The power of
Even those who specialized in hiding their true intentions could not escape his power.
‘They are definitely those sent by the 1st Prince.’
Ian raised the corners of his lips.
Apparently, his plan worked out.
‘I’m monitoring with knights. I have no choice but to use the maids. It’s pretty good though. Back off.’
Rather, it was not expected.
It is expected that if you lock Leonic, they will come into contact with you.
So, Ian asked directly.
“So what did they offer?”
“Ummm…”
Leonic was silent for a moment.
I didn’t know that Ion would come so quickly, and that he would find out that he was meeting with spies.
But it seems Ian already knows everything..
Resigning, he raised both hands.
“He said he would make me emperor again.”
“What’s the price?”
“As soon as we get to Cantum, we will send the Imperial Army. He told me to cooperate with them and lure Kaistein-kun to the Imperial Castle.”
“Is it like that too?”
From the outside, he moves the civil war forces, and inside, he uses the Crown Prince Leonic.
It was an easy way to bring down Kaistein’s army.
In fact, if Ian hadn’t come forward, the enemy’s spy would have made contact with Leonic without difficulty and carried out as planned.
Ian smiled meaningfully.
“For now, let them do what they want.”
“What?”
“It means that you can lure your sister and the soldiers to the Imperial Castle and lead them through time.”
After all, there were only a few knights and soldiers heading to the Imperial Castle.
If Leonic only took time, Ian and Princess 1 could carry out their original plan.
‘As soon as they arrive in Cantum, the knights disperse and enter other factions. And they grow their strength in their own power.’
The goal was to become the center of each faction.
Between dividing the powers of Kantum and absorbing those in need while fighting.
1 The Princess Will Take Back Her Cause At The Imperial Palace With Prince Leonick.
‘In order to disperse the power like that, you have to make the enemies so they can’t turn their eyes and get crazy.’
There were many ways.
It was possible to hit a place that the opponent could not predict at all, or to have the unpredictable join hands.
But it absolutely took time.
‘Of course the enemy won’t give you that time. So we have to forcefully take time from this side.’
It was Nathan who was prepared for that.
Ian smiled at Nathan.
“Come on, Sir Nathan. Now you can pull out your sword and lift it up.”
“Are you here?”
“And just stab Leonic.”
“yes?”
For a moment, Nathan’s face hardened.
what the hell are you talking about He had an incomprehensible face.
However, Leonic immediately recognized Ion’s meaning.
“Are you going to start a political battle between the prospective husbands? To pass the time?”
“right. Two husbands who wanted to monopolize their sister’s affection, wielded swords at each other. Of course, the victim is you, Leonic.”
“And I was injured. The transfer to the Imperial House will be delayed.”
“You just have to take your time. Let us take care of the rest.”
Only then did Nathan nod his head as if he had noticed.
But there was something strange about it.
“Stand… maybe. Am I going to wrestle with the Crown Prince of Kantum for the sake of Princess 1’s attention?”
“yes. you’re right. And for the time being, you should be imprisoned as a criminal.”
“!”
Nathan’s face trembled.
Perhaps this was the reason why he had been accepting his abuse as it is.
But stabbing the former Crown Prince Leonic in Cantum.
‘Is it an execution stamp if I’m wrong?’
Of course, since she was the fiance of Princess 1, she would not kill her right away.
But even so, it was true that it was a mortal sin that could not be easily forgiven.
Nathan looked at Ion with a face begging for help.
“Wow, Prince? This is a bit…”
“Do not worry. It’s not Lord Nathan who is actually locked up, but someone else. There is a lot of work to be done.”
“ah!”
While a man of a build similar to Nathan was imprisoned.
He was supposed to enter each faction with Ian and become the center.
In fact, it was said that he had spoken to the first princess.
But Leonick shook his head.
“Don’t refuse. I just hate being stabbed by a man.”
thisRae Von was said to be the Crown Prince of Cantum.
But his refusal was short-lived.
“What if I could ascend to the throne of the emperor just by being stabbed for a moment?”
Leonic’s ears twitched at Ian’s low voice.
“Didn’t that offer come from over there as well?”
“That’s it. It would be a suggestion to make it into a simple scarecrow. But my proposal is different.”
“Even if it’s not you, the reinforcements plan to make me emperor.”
“That’s your opinion, maybe something else? It’s okay for us, even if you don’t become an emperor.”
“…”
It wasn’t a joke.
It was enough to cut down on Cantum’s power and consolidate it later.
Now that he ate Bahara and captured the weakness of the Holy Empire, he could have been aiming for Kantum.
Ian was also convinced.
‘And if you eat Cantum, from Bahara to the Holy Empire. It’s like eating half of the continent.’
But I had no intention of eating Cantum right now.
All he needs is the first prince and the seven major musical instruments he will have.
Because if you had that power, it would be very easy to unite this continent later.
‘Besides, what’s important now is not Kantum, but dealing with the guys who will be there.’
Leonic wouldn’t have known about it either.
Ian raised the corners of his lips.
“So, are you waiting for me too?”
“Did you notice too?”
“Unless you are an idiot. yes.”
It was Leonic who defeated dozens of princes and ascended to the throne.
Even though it only happened because of Ian. His skills and talents were never inferior to others.
Ian whispered to him.
“So tell me.”
Information about the location of the fortune teller and the princes of Cantum. In addition to the weaknesses of the current Cantum.
It was information that could only be heard from Leonic, who was the Crown Prince.
“By now, you must have heard a lot of inside information about Kantum through them?”
It was that Leonic’s limbs did not know that they were alive.
right at that moment.
As if waiting for this moment, Leonic’s eyes lit up.
“Then, together with the seat of the emperor, a document promising the dictatorship of Kantum…”
He was trying to achieve his goal by taking advantage of this gap.
But it was no use for Ian.
“Don’t refuse.”
“What?”
“All I promise is the promise of returning the emperor’s seat to you. Other than that, I can’t make any promises.”
“then···”
“So decide. is my promise Or will he join hands with those who disturb Cantum and remain a scarecrow.”
“!”
Ian’s eyes looking at him were cold and determined.
