“nice to meet you. It’s been a while, haven’t we?”
At Ian’s smile, Leonic exclaimed with a shocked expression.
“Yes. How are you?”
Did you confirm that there was a problem with Ian’s life from the shadows?
I heard he fell down and the knights were gone?
At the very least, I had seen with my own eyes that Sang was also wounded.
But no matter how you look at it, Ian looked fine.
‘I can’t believe it. What the hell is going on?’
But despite Leonic’s astonishment, Ion remained calm.
“why? What should have happened to me?”
Rather, he was making sharp eyes towards Leonic.
Leonick waved his hand.
“Oh, no. Not like that. How are you here…”
Leonick hurriedly looked around him.
Obviously, it was the emperor’s room, where even the knights of the Imperial Army could not enter without permission.
He must have had no one but himself.
He regained his composure and spoke calmly to Ian.
“This is the Emperor’s bedroom. Even if you’re my brother-in-law, it’s difficult for you…”
“Sick. What is he saying now.”
“!”
At Ian’s cold words, Leonic flinched greatly.
All of a sudden, he realized that Ian’s eyes were as cold as ice.
“My brother-in-law is a doghorn. Why do I even have to think about the circumstances of the guy who tried to kill me?”
“what···”
“why? He told me to kill him and he came alive. Are you worried?”
“!”
Leonic’s eyes trembled.
How the hell did you know that?
‘Is it possible that Sang will betray him…?’
But that couldn’t be.
The award is the best loyalist he has worked hard for.
He was the one who destroyed Sang’s family at the very least.
It was something that never made it impossible to think of betrayal.
Then something came to mind.
‘okay. it’s this guy What else has this guy done?’
There was no reason for Sang to betray him.
So it was clear that this guy was either pretending to be dead or doing something.
For a moment, life flashed in Leonic’s eyes.
‘There are no knights protecting him. So now…!’
Leonic sneakily took his hand to the decorative sword that was adorned on one side of the bookshelf.
He said with a smile, not showing his agitation.
“Is that possible? Aren’t we brother-in-law? Who is going to kill…”
“okay?”
“Isn’t it natural? We definitely made a promise.”
Leonic’s hand grew closer and closer to the sword.
It was now almost a dry street to reach.
“You will make me emperor, and Kantum and Kaistein, whom I rule, will be allied for eternity.”
“Huh? Really?”
“Sure. IPromise must be kept Shall I show you the evidence?”
“good. Show me where.”
Leonick moved his body forward as if passing a scepter in one hand.
But that was the moment.
Contrary to his body, his hand, which was facing in the opposite direction, touched the sword.
snap.
For a moment, Leonic’s eyes lit up.
“This is the proof!”
Leonic didn’t hesitate.
With the decorative sword he held in his hand, he slammed it hard against Ian’s neck.
However.
Kang!
His mean attack was blocked by a certain sword.
Exactly Ian.
As if he knew this would happen, he had stopped the attack with the royal treasured sword.
Not only that, but he even hit the sword in the opposite direction and blew it away.
Leonic furrowed his eyebrows in a state of shock.
“Uh… how did you know?”
Ian chuckled.
“You talked. I know you’re a traitor. Of course, I read your movements thoroughly.”
It wasn’t a joke.
They have been closely monitoring since the first time he came in.
Also looking for the jade.
Even holding a sword while pretending to hand over a scepter.
At least in this moment.
He was clearly aware that he was looking at the door to escape.
‘It doesn’t make sense to be vigilant against a guy like this in the first place.’
A person who betrayed once was destined to betray again.
He certainly learned it through Duke Garcia.
So it couldn’t be beat.
Thanks to him, the exit was blocked, and Leonic was bewildered and did not know what to do.
The corners of Ian’s lips began to rise slowly.
“ruler. Then what punishment will I give to the person who betrayed me?”
“That… Guards Knight! There is none!”
Leonic shouted out in embarrassment.
You already know Ian’s skills. He knew he was going to suffer, so he was asking for help.
But he couldn’t be heard outside.
The Emperor’s bedroom boasted perfect soundproofing.
Then Ian came closer.
“Do you think the knights from outside will come? Is that all you were thinking about?”
Then Leonick slowly began to step behind him.
“Do not come close! If you come any closer…”
“If you come? What are you going to do? Will you even scream?”
Ian’s smile changed Leonic’s expression abruptly.
His expression was ferocious like a wounded beast.
Soon he lifted the scepter.
“If you come one step closer, I will destroy this scepter.”
“What is he saying now. If you do, then I’m sorry. Please don’t break the seal. Do I have to ask?”
“What… what?”
“The scepter of Cantum means nothing to me as a Kaistain.”
Ian raised the corners of his lips as if smirking.
No, not just the corner of his mouth, he raised the sword and aimed it at Leonic’s neck.
But Leonic cried out desperately.
“Don’t be funny. You don’t think it’s because of this that you’ve been following me secretly!”
Although Leonic had been attacked by Ian, he was not an idiot.
There was only one reason why he pretended to be dead and stepped on his back.
‘Obviously, he wanted this seal. To end the Prince’s War immediately.’
It was clear that his purpose was to catch two rabbits, Kantum and Leon.
Then this seal was absolutely necessary.
“It was Asu, the prince you were pushing. I’m sure he’ll need this in order to become emperor.”
The royal seal was not simply the seal of the emperor.
It was only when he had it that he could become emperor.
So far, the 2nd prince has been crowned the emperor.The reason I couldn’t put it away and sit on the throne was all because I didn’t have a scepter.
He was waiting for a new seal to be built.
So Leonic shouted.
“It takes at least two years for the seal to be built. But if you have this seal, you can shorten that time.”
The royal seal and the cause of the Crown Prince.
Besides, if there was a force to back it up, he could become an emperor.
But the seal was never strong.
“No matter how fast you are, you will not be faster than breaking this scepter.”
Clearly, it would break if an adult man threw it over his head.
At that, Ian smirked.
“Still, I have a sense of humor.”
“Then let’s get out of the room like this…”
“go away. Without it, I can achieve my goals. I can’t forgive those who put knives at my back.”
“!”
Ian’s sword gradually pierced towards Leonic’s neck.
He had the momentum to even kill the real Leonic.
Leonic was genuinely perplexed.
“G.. it really breaks! It really breaks!”
“Break it somewhere. I’ll stop bothering you for a while. You’ll never get back again, will you?”
“…”
Rather, it was that he would be recorded in history as a person who broke the imperial scepter with a long tradition.
That was when Leonic clenched his teeth.
bang!
Suddenly the door opened.
“The Crown Prince!”
“What’s going on!”
The knights who were guarding the outside came in hastily at the sound of a suspicious sound.
The Emperor’s room was well soundproofed, so you wouldn’t be able to hear it.
As a Leonic, I could say I was lucky.
“It’s here! Here is the assassin!”
“yes? A sword for the Crown Prince?”
“How did an assassin get here! Stop it now!”
They saw Leonic being targeted by the sword, and they started running in haste.
Seeing that, Ian said the last time.
“Hey. Won’t you regret it?”
“What are the regrets? You will die here!”
“I’ll give you one last chance though. One last chance to apologize to me.”
“It sounds funny. I have no apologies to the one who is about to die!”
Leonic exclaimed in triumph.
Then he pointed his finger at Ian and shouted.
“Get rid of him!”
“number of people!”
The two knights ran towards Ion.
But Ian smiled.
Rather, it was enough to put the sword in its sheath and sit calmly.
Leonic’s eyes couldn’t help but widen at that sight.
‘What the hell does that guy believe in?’
But there was nothing to worry about.
Anyway, no matter how powerful Ion was, he wouldn’t be able to deal with two knights easily.
‘If he gets out in the meantime, he’s done.’
And it was enough to regain the emperor’s seat with this royal seal and take revenge on Kaistein.
He must have joined hands with Leon’s forces.
He was the one who had nothing to do with it anymore.
That was the moment he entrusted the fight to the knights and was about to run away.
right at that moment.
shudder!
Two knights who knew how to run towards Ion pointed their swords at his neck.
Shouted Leonic, surprised.
“Oh, what is this! The enemy is not me, it is him!”
But the two knights only laughed.
No, one of them even took the scepter out of his hand, which was immobilized by a knife at his neck.
And isn’t that what he says with a smirk?
“Thank you for finding this.”
The gentle smile on his face was so disrespectful that I really wanted to hit him.
The knight who stole the royal seal gave it to Ion.
“Here is a gift from the lord’s right arm.”
Ian said while raising his scepter.“Your right arm? Is that Sir Gallon?”
“Then, shall we do it with the left arm?”
“Sir Nathan. The joke ends here. Well then. Sir Gallon. Shall we finish it?”
“Yes. Lord.”
“!”
Leonic’s eyes widened at Ian’s words.
He had no choice but to do so.
It was because those two knights were not the emperor who sent them in.
Rather, it was Ian’s knights.
So I had no choice but to ask in a trembling voice.
“What the hell.. Since when…”
It was a question of whether the knights had changed positions.
To that, Ian raised the corners of his lips and answered.
“From the beginning.”
“!”
It was only natural that Leonic’s face was filled with despair.
*
Sang-sang stabbed Ion with his sword.
Whoops!
His blood gushed from his dagger.
But it wasn’t Ian’s blood.
“what···!”
Ian turned back.
Then there was a statue that had stabbed his arm with a dagger, grimacing his face.
Ian said urgently.
“Because you stab me. You idiot!”
In fact, it didn’t matter if I stabbed it.
Because he had the cloak of the first king.
It wasn’t a magic weapon, and at least a normal dagger couldn’t pierce his cloak.
When that happens, he intends to bring the guy who made the wrong choice himself to come to his senses.
‘But I hope you will stab yourself.’
Ian hurriedly began to stop bleeding on the injured hand of the jacket.
“Why are you doing such a stupid thing…”
But Sang said, biting his lip softly.
“I couldn’t … pierce you.”
The top’s eyes softened.
“The body has already been betrayed once. To betray you like that is to betray myself again.”
family revenge.
Besides, he had a life that he believed in that he would get rid of victims like him in the future.
Leonic’s lie was so sweet that he couldn’t help but fall for it.
But Ian was different.
‘You care about me more than anyone else.’
I could tell just by looking at how Lee Eon was treating him, who was trying to stab him.
He wounded his arm himself, but it wasn’t just the arm that was healed.
It felt like his frozen heart was melting.
No, he was running fresh.
‘Leonic-sama wasn’t like that. He always pretended he was for me. He never really cared about me.’
It’s always been like that.
At least it was the same at this moment.
Although it was an award he had risked his life for only for Leonick.
The shadow that came to him only conveyed Leonic’s orders.
He never said hello or worried.
‘If you look at it that way, the extinction of our family is also suspicious. Did the eunuchs really move the emperor?’
Was it Leonic who ruled the eunuch in the first place?
So Sang could speak firmly.
“I will not deceive you. And I will no longer deceive myself.”
Sang gave a firm expression to Ion, who was treating his hand.
Then he knelt down on the spot.
“Would you mind accepting this lack of me…?”
After Ian put a bandage on his upper arm. got up from his seat
His expression was also firm.
“I will refuse.”
“yes? why..”
Sang’s expression changed to despair at Ian’s words.
He wondered if he could accept him, who was Leonic’s subordinate.
But that wasn’t the reason Ion didn’t accept him.
“Promise me. I will never hurt myself again. his life and body. If you promise to spend all of that for me… then I’ll accept you.”
“!”
Sang-sang’s eyes trembled greatly at Ian’s words.
He probably didn’t know he was going to say something like that.
He immediately lowered his head with moist eyes.
“I promise… I swear. I will never hurt myself again. I will dedicate this body to my lord.”
A slight light shone across his body.
It was the light that only Ian’s eyes could see.
So Ian won the award.
He was Leo Nick’s most cherished adviser, and he had acquired his left arm, which will never happen again.
*
At Ian’s command, Nathan tied Leonic tightly.
He approached Ion with a bright expression on his face.
“Do you have any more work to do?”
Nathan had a burning ambition to somehow become a right-hand man.
But Ian laughed.
“Wait. Someone is coming soon.”
“yes? Who?”
Nathan tilted his head.
Then the door to the emperor’s bedroom opened and new people entered.
Nathan was also an acquaintance.
“uh? you are?”
“You have captured the Crown Prince. Lord.”
It was just an award.
Of course he wasn’t alone.
“Ho-Ho-Hong. Nice to meet you. Prince Ian.”
Next to him was a man who appeared to be an eunuch.
Leonic’s face hardened at that sight.
“You… are you the eunuch, Jingi?”
I had no choice but to do so.
He was one of 11 eunuchs who commanded thousands of eunuchs.
And he was also a servant of Leonic.
“How can you betray…”
However, Jingi’s expression on seeing such a Leonic was cold.
“Didn’t you betray me first? Prince Leonic.”
“Stop it. older brother.”
“Ho-Ho-Hong. Would it? Brother?”
Leonic was bewildered by Jingi and Sang’s words.
“What···? older brother? What the hell is that…”
Leonic is someone who doesn’t even trust his subordinates.
So he was a man who did a thorough background check more than anyone else.
Such a person could not have known that Sang and the eunuch leader Jin-gi were brothers.
But Sang said calmly.
“Your brother is my half-brother. Although he broke up when he was young. He castrate himself for revenge for his family.”
“!”
In the first place, there was no point of contact.
It is a relationship that no one can find because it was raised separately just in case.
The reason that the bastard of a prestigious family was able to become an eunuch was because the past was so clean.
Therefore, the award was proposed to Ian.
[Chief of eunuch Jingi is my older brother. Obviously, Leonic will try to find the scepter. After waiting, you get both the Seal and Leonic.]
Since the eunuch was on this side in the first place, changing the layout of the Imperial Army was a breeze.
As soon as the prince enters, he only needs to change to this knight.
Leonic’s face wrinkled at those words.
“These guys… are insulting me.”
How many times has it already been?
At the very least, not only Ian, but also his own subordinates.
It was natural for Leonic’s face to be pierced into the ground.
But Ian said calmly.
“Now that I have caught the scepter and the leonic. Do you know what will happen next?”
“of course. The 2nd Prince. No, I will make an appointment with the Crown Prince.”
“okay.”
Ian raised the corners of his lips.
Leonic was to be sacrificed.
Leon, who betrayed himself and his country, and put his sister and mother into pain.
The time has come to give him despair.
