23 I’m Ready
#
At Ian’s words, Karan doubted my ears. But she didn’t seem to be wrong. The eyes of the 2nd Prince or Duke were also changed.
But Ian continued speaking innocently.
“Why? Didn’t you purposely lock me up in the basement to prevent my brother and me from seeing each other? A dangerous place where the air was thin?”
The attendants in the drawing room murmured a little.
“Oh my God, what the hell is this? No wonder… Master Karan did such a heinous thing?”
“Oh my God… isn’t this blasphemy against the royal family?”
“Are you kidding me? It’s not at the level of blasphemy, if you’re wrong…!”
That was enough for the attempted murder of the royal family.
But Karan couldn’t help but be ridiculous.
Not only would he be accusing himself of attempted murder, but what? Are you going to meet your brother?
‘Did you try to run away to the basement of the annex when you heard that the second prince was coming?’
That wasn’t the only thing.
“I wanted to see you when I heard that a brother I had never seen before was coming, but I was so afraid that you locked me up.Did it happen?”
‘What are you talking about, you must have seen your face rot as soon as you heard the prince’s name!’
Karan, who had lost his absurdity, questioned Ian.
“It’s unfortunate. Why do you frame people with such absurd lies!”
“Is it true that you left me in the basement?”
“!?”
“Because he knew everything about your brother’s coming.”
“···!”
On the contrary, Ion was very sad and pretended to cry. Thanks to this, Karan, who was rather driven into a dead end, glared at Ion.
‘This damn little boy intentionally…!’
And it was then.
“Twitter.”
The sound of his tongue kicking echoed through the drawing room.
At the familiar sound, Karan automatically turned her head. It was none other than his father, the duke, who struck his tongue. He was also looking at Karan with an blatantly unpleasant gaze.
Of course, it wasn’t that he was displeased with Ian’s lockdown.
The eyes of why he did something that could be taken as a weakness because he couldn’t handle his job properly.
Karan burst into anger at the peacock’s eyes.
‘You look at me with those eyes.’
He was a duke who only favored his older brother, who had no ability, as he looked at him like a monster no matter how great he was.
And it would be shameful to receive such gazes in such a situation.
Of course, it was a joke at first.
But thanks to that, Ion was able to obtain the power of the underworld.
‘I don’t know exactly what kind of power it is, but at least it wouldn’t have been a loss, right?’
In a way, it was as if he had gained something thanks to him.
But that wasn’t the point now.
“Oh yeah? Did something like that happen?”
“!”
As if biting a bait, the second prince flashed eerie eyes.
Of course, he wasn’t the second prince to listen to Ion, the target of the succession fight, but in the current situation, it was natural.
‘If the opponent is of the Garcia family, the story is different.’
As a self supported by Lavaltor, Garcia is a thorn in her eyes.
What’s more, his opponent is the duke’s third son. The duke is troublesome to deal with, but Karan’s genius was already famous among the aristocrats.
It was said that he would be the youngest prime minister if he was only able to enter the royal palace after performing a national examination.
‘I’d rather take him and make him my entourage.’
Even if that didn’t work, it was an opportunity to seize the duke’s weakness.
Just by taking them, Lavaltor and Garcia. Because the duke will be able to get support from both sides.
So, I asked with a voice that seemed to have caught on.
“Three Confucius. Have you really locked up my brother in the basement of an outbuilding? The kid who said he was going to meet me too?”
“······that is.”
Karan’s stomach churned. Meanwhile, Ian came out.
“That’s right, brother, I remember clearly. The face of the 3rd Confucius who suddenly closed the basement door. I must have said that I was an idiot.”
“her. Even though you are a duke, did you dare say such a thing to the royal family?”
When the two of them started drumming and playing janggu, Karan was stunned, and the other attendants were sweating.
And the 2nd prince, who was delighted with Ian’s words, went one step further with his ex.
He wasn’t going to miss out on this great opportunity.
“Even though it is a duke’s family that makes the kingdom shine, I think this would be considered a disrespect for the royal family. okay. So what do you think, Duke?”
At the second prince’s smile, the duke raised his eyebrows inconspicuously.
It was obvious what he was trying to say, but he answered without showing off.
“What do you want me to do?”
“Yeah… of course you don’t want me to obey the law, do you?”
The peacock’s eyes lit up at those words.
“So you mean that you want to cut off the tongue of my son in my city?”
A blood storm will happen right awayThere was such an ominous silence.
It sounded like he was sorry, but the slightly raised corners of his lips contained a feeling of abomination. Still, I didn’t like the 2nd Prince. A person who enters into someone else’s territory and spreads all kinds of rudeness.
The second prince, feeling a momentary sense of crisis, smiled and took a step back.
“That’s what it means. word. Can you cut off the duke’s son’s tongue anyway?”
“What do you want?”
“It’s nothing. A sincere apology from the Duke of Garcia is enough.”
The word was an apology, but the Duke, who had no idea what the hidden reward was, frowned.
‘For that guy.’
In a word, he is the subjugation and support of talented people and dukes. That is, he is trying to catch two rabbits.
Of course, if it was the second thing caught, I would have thrown it to them without hesitation. Even if you want to cut off your limbs.
But even though Karan can’t catch a bell, he’s one of the best offspring. Not to mention, Karan was also a special candidate who might get
The duke weighed the proposal of the second prince with cold eyes.
‘In order to get one, one has to give up one’s politics. But to lose to the second prince…’
It was like giving wings to the second prince who received Lavaltor’s support.
It was when the duke was so troubled.
For some reason, Ion, who had been quiet until now, came out.
“What are you two talking about?”
At Ion’s sudden words, the 2nd Prince burst into laughter.
“What do you mean? Isn’t your guy so crazy? Were you planning on getting a proof with just that kind of brain?”
The second prince, who revealed his true colors, laughed at Ion. He pretended to be gentle, but it was an obvious mockery.
“I don’t know about you, but he deserves an apology and compensation from those who blasphemed the royal family. Although he had not yet received recognition, he dared to imprison those who were referred to as members of the royal family in the basement and engage in malicious behavior. He deserves to be punished as royalty. Now I understand…”
“So. The victim is me, so why is my brother receiving an apology and compensation?”
“··········!!”
At Ian’s smile, the second prince’s face hardened out of control.
Ian raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
“Isn’t it? Brother, you only need to apologize for being late. It is not enough to imprison me, so I think I should be compensated for the insult.”
The 2nd prince looked amazing.
No, is it the guy who even talked to himself just like he wanted Karan to be chastised? Who was the one who kept talking like that?
However, Ian was unstoppable.
“So, I have to take the apology for the part I got stuck in the basement. Duke of Garcia.”
The peacock smirked.
It wasn’t wrong whatsoever. In principle, laws related to contempt of the royal family should be resolved by the parties concerned. It was true that the 2nd prince had nothing to do with it.
As Ian said, I can get an apology for being late, but that’s all.
The second prince, who noticed Ion’s intentions late, also opened his eyes.
‘Is this… a lowly kid taking advantage of me?’
It was certain.
He pretended to be hurt, pretending to be innocent as if he was on his side, the older brother he had never seen for the first time.
‘This cunning bastard.’
It must have been for this reason that he pretended to hit him.
To get him to get the word apology and reward from the peacock’s mouth!
If it were a duke’s personality, he would never say such a thing to Ion.
The peacock looked at Ion as if it was fun.
‘Which hand should I really raise?’
Is it the 2nd Prince of great power, who is ill-conceived, or the 7th Prince who has no power yet?
Of course, the answer was the same.
2 on the back of a running tiger (Lavaltor)Rather than the prince, the tiger cub (Ian), which was still in his hands, was far better.
The Duke nodded his head towards Ian.
“All right. Then, in keeping with the 7th Prince’s opinion, I will make my son’s discipline harsh. What do you want for the apples? gold? jewel?”
Losing Gallon was also a bit painful. He talked about the wealth left behind in Garcia.
But Ian raised the corners of his lips as if he didn’t want that.
“Give me the right to punishment and the right to education.”
“Yes?”
“Since this is the insult I was subjected to, I will do everything for you, neither punishment nor education. Will it be okay?”
What was most astonished by those words was none other than Karan.
No, I’m not even a servant right now, who’s punishing whom? Besides, what is education? Besides, if that guy is your opponent…
It was the moment when Karan, who was absurd, tried to argue with the Duke.
nod
“Do it.”
Shockingly, his father’s approval was lost.
*
“Then I will go in first. older brother.”
“····.”
Karan, who had become like Ian’s servant, sharpened his teeth, and Ion stood up with a bright expression. However, the expression on the second prince’s face looking at him like that was never good.
It was a face that was properly punched in the back.
I had no choice but to do so.
‘How can you lose Karan in this way? That bastard.’
His plan to use Karan as a weakness to consolidate his position as heir to the throne was in vain.
No, actually, I was more upset about the fact that he was used by that little boy.
‘I was too shallow.’
Is that so? The second prince spoke in a harsh but low voice.
“Come to think of it, there will be a proof ceremony at the royal castle soon.”
The 2nd Prince smiled a kind-hearted smile.
“It’s late today, so take a break, and tomorrow as an older brother, I’ll tell you what I need for the proof ceremony.”
But at his words, Ian snorted.
With his handsome face and a mad smile on his face, it was nothing like what he had in his memory.
‘He’s cosplaying as a good guy with that damn personality.’
He had a rough idea of what Prince 2 would do tomorrow.
‘What’s obvious? I will use the proof ceremony as an excuse to ask for a match.’
Probably, with a high probability, he will teach you swordsmanship, which is his specialty. And it would never end with a simple confrontation.
‘Pretending to be a mistake, I’m going to cut off my arm.’
That would eliminate competitors.
Ian was already well aware of what Prince 2 had done to the other brothers in his previous life.
As if that expectation did not go astray, the second prince gave a creepy look.
“Oh yeah. The knights should not accompany them. Knights are very hard-headed and there are a lot of things they shouldn’t do. He just wants to spend time with his brothers.”
Ion smiled brightly as if he knew nothing.
“Okay, all the knights will rest. older brother.”
2 The prince nodded his head and left, as if everything went as planned.
And he whispered to the knights around him.
“Tell the other brothers. The youngest will not be able to attend the certification ceremony, so there is no need to prepare a robe.”
Ian hurriedly greeted the Duke and returned to his room.
Because he had work to do.
‘The disposition of Karan was granted by the Duke. It doesn’t matter now. It would be fun to educate them thoroughly.’
The important thing was tomorrow morning.
As long as you know the work of the 2nd Prince. I just didn’t mean to get hit. Rather, it was meant to eliminate the second prince who was trying to eliminate the competitor.
Of course it won’t be easy.
‘The 2nd Prince has swordsmanship worthy of his ferocious character. On the other hand, I’m still a beginner who doesn’t even have a proper swordsmanship.’
Not to mention, the body is skinny.was just blind
But Ian had a corner to believe.
It was nothing else. The culprit that the Duke had been interested in for the whole time.
Since he dripped blood from the underground passage. Suspicious smoke that kept making a fuss to get out of the room.
[Are you ready now?]
A power found underground. It was with
