“I’m sorry, but Duke Lavaltor wants to see Prince Ian, not Duke Garcia.”
“What?”
At the words of the knight, Duke Garcia’s expression was worth seeing.
He had a face that he had heard something wrong, even if he had heard something wrong. No, he didn’t hear himself wrong, he only knew that this young knight was making fun of him.
So he questioned himself without knowing it.
“What did you do now? Who does Duke Lavaltor want to see?”
You wouldn’t know the young meaning in those eyes, but Chris steadfastly overturned his eyes with a twinkle in his eyes.
“So, your Highness Duke Lavaltor wants to see Prince Ian, not Duke Garcia…”
“her!”
Duke Garcia smirked as if he had not heard anything wrong. Immediately after that, it was none other than Ian where his fierce eyes were pierced.
The peacock opened his mouth in anger.
“Prince, what happened to this?”
It was as if he was about to chew on Ion.
But Ian cut him off as if he hadn’t heard.
“It is the office of the 1st Knights in the royal palace. Let’s do that. When you enter the royal castle, I will find you.”
“I will deliver it right away.”
Finally, the impatient duke slammed the table and raised his voice.
“Prince! Did you know in advance that you would be contacting me from over there?”
“sure. I asked for it.”
“What!”
The peacock was about to shout something, but he said, holding his breath as if swallowing his words. It was that he could not show his disorganized appearance in front of Lavaltor’s knight.
“What the hell are you doing without consulting me? Lavaltor.”
He was obviously calm, but he could feel life in his voice.
But, as if wondering why on earth, Ian was calm and weak.
“I have a question for you, and I just want to meet you as an apology. At this rate, isn’t it obvious that Lavaltor will be swearing at me before I even go to the proof? at the proofI don’t want to get my hair cut before I even go.”
But the Duke could clearly feel Ian’s intentions.
[I am not the fish you caught. I can hold anyone’s hand at any time]
Obviously, Ian’s eyes were saying that.
So it wasn’t funny.
He thought it was the fish he had caught in his tank at the time he had brought it from the filthy countryside.
He said, ‘I hope you were getting ready to run away from the fishbowl.’
Even under an innocent face, he hides his true intentions abominably.
‘No, you have no intention of hiding it from me?’
Thanks to this, the peacock became angry. It was because of the situation that was drawn in the unpredictable future.
‘What if that prince betrays Garcia and goes to Lavaltor?’
From the perspective of Duke Garcia, isn’t it the same as being a dog that chased chickens?
No, I’m glad it’s over.
‘There may be rumors that Garcia is not as good as Lavaltor.’
Even a kid from the countryside knew that Lavaltor was better than Garcia, and his factions seemed excited and ran from town to town.
But that was the time.
“Really, prince. If you come out of the territory, our Knights of Lavaltor will take you safely to the royal castle.”
The Duke looked at Chris like he was crazy.
“I have something to say to you and the prince alone, so you should go home.”
“Then I will wait outside. 7 Princes.”
Like Lavaltor, who did not have any dealings with Garcia, despite the obvious blessing, even his subordinates were really fierce. But the peacock didn’t really care.
Because that article wasn’t important now.
Not surprisingly, the two male dukes went straight to the point.
“What do you want?”
There was a sense of urgency, but there was nothing I could do. Because like this, the 7th Prince could not meet Laval Thor and make him think otherwise.
He had to somehow get Ian’s attention.
‘You will one day pay the price. Not right now.’
And to the duke’s question, Ion calmly answered.
“But you don’t even serve a cup of tea here? The hospitality of the guests is very poor.”
shudder
“Chief!”
At the duke’s call, the valet came running. Unsurprisingly, the chaplain shook his body as if in embarrassment, but that was only for a moment.
As soon as the car came out, the duke frowned.
“How do you not want to meet him?”
“Why can’t we meet?”
Instead of answering, the peacock raised his eyebrows.
“He recently heard that he was being taught swordsmanship by Sir Nathan. Let him go.”
Ian, who the duke found out, had a lot of greed for talented people. He could be seen from the fact that he requested Karan not only for Galon, but also for education as an excuse.
So if he gets Nathan, he’ll be able to catch enough.
He was the peacock who thought so.
However.
Hororok
Isn’t Ion drinking tea without answering? It was as if he didn’t like the answer.
The peacock narrowed his brow.
“Then how about the soldiers who brought the prince? I will give them all to the prince.”
There were a hundred and one soldiers and knights.
A troop that the lords of any province could not even imagine. However, Ian’s expression did not change.
The peacock couldn’t take it any longer, and he blew up his murderous intentions.
“You won’t get anything from holding Lavaltor’s hand anyway.”
In fact, there was little chance that Lavaltor would take Ion’s hand.
But it was a matter of pride.
So I have no choice but to threaten.
“Do you know? They might even try to kill the prince because of the work of the second prince.”
Lavaltor was no ordinary man. That wild boar guyI can’t deal with it properly.
It was fortunate that I did not pee or get tired in front of it.
But Ian smiled softly.
“I do not know. What if I declare my support for the second prince?”
“That… what is that!”
The Duke was genuinely embarrassed, as if he had never expected it.
He had no choice but to do so. A declaration of support means a declaration of renunciation of the throne.
“Are you going to even ask for my life to be spared instead of giving up on the throne?”
But Ian still spoke with a carefree face.
“After all, I have always been a serf. Do you have no desire for the throne?”
‘lie.’
The peacock instinctively noticed. Of course, the war of succession may have felt terrifying to Ion, who was a serf until recently.
Because it was a fight that might have to kill all his brothers.
In other words, no matter how lucky they were to cut off the second prince’s arm, unlike others who thought he was fine, he may have instinctively felt the fear of fighting and blood.
‘But those eyes are not the eyes of a loser.’
Because of this, the peacock’s eyes became even sharper.
“Do you have any needs that only Garcia, not Lavaltor, can give you?”
What no one else can give.
At that, Ion laughed as if he had been waiting.

quiver
“Are you out? 7 Princes.”
Chris, who was waiting outside the Duke’s office, bowed his head hurriedly.
But it was that moment.
bang!
A loud noise was heard from inside the Duke’s office.
Galon, startled, tried to look inside. Ian stopped.
“It won’t be a big deal. It looks like some pesky cockroach came out.”
Galon and Chris looked surprised at his smile. Contrary to the noises in the office, Ian’s expression was so bright.
In fact, it was natural.
Because Ian wasn’t the only one who obtained from the Duke.
The first thing he got was a man.
“Sir Gallon. Give it to Sir Nathan. I kept my promise. It is also said that from now on, you should follow me, not Confucius Karan.”
“Yes. All right.”
Of course, it’s Nathan. The knight who went to the 3rd Prince in the past.
It was a little unsettling factor as he didn’t know why he had to go to him, but for the time being, it was okay.
“It’s not just that. Soon the soldiers will come to the outbuildings. In the future, they will be in charge of Sir Gallon. The centurion tells me to come first.”
Hundreds of soldiers who had come to pick him up, and even the centurion with his lifeline handed over to Ion.
Of course, the duke would pay all the expenses needed to maintain them.
It was time for Ion to move quickly while giving instructions.
As Chris faltered, he asked Ian.
“I… then, what should I say to Duke Lavaltor?”
Chris was smarter than he thought. He didn’t know what kind of conversation was going on inside, but he looked like he had noticed that Ion had gained something by using Lavaltor.
In other words, work with Lavaltor could be completely nullified.
But Ian laughed softly.
“As promised, we can meet there. ah! The knights of Lavaltor may die.”
“yes?”
“I think the royal castle will have to go with Duke Garcia.”
Chris didn’t quite understand.
Did Duke Garcia allow you to meet Duke Lavaltor?
That’s when Chris put on a shaky expression on his face.
But Ian laughed instead of answering.
‘There is only one thing the Duke wants from me. He doesn’t hold hands with Laval Thor.’
The Duke gave him a lot of gifts on condition that he would not join the Lavaltor Knights.
It is also said that Laval Thor will never abandon the 2nd Prince, and that only he will treat the 7th Prince.it was
But Duke Garcia did not know.
‘It’s not just that I want to meet Lavaltor.’
Of course, there was also the intention to deal with the 2nd Prince, but that was additional.
The real reason was because of the king who personally appeared at the proof ceremony. The proof ceremony, which suddenly grew in size, was the king’s intention to test Ion.
And I’m sure they’ll investigate the matter of the second prince.
‘Unlike the past, this proof ceremony is attended by all the nobles. There must be no mistakes.’
It was a place that could raise some semantic status, but on the other hand, the hurdles were higher than in the past. It was for this reason that the Duke of Lavaltor was drawn in.
If you don’t pass the exam, it’s over.
Anyway, it wasn’t just the knights and soldiers that Ion got.
“Seven Princes lowered. This is the item sent by the Duke.”
It arrived just a few hours later.
The second promise Ian obtained. One of the duke’s heirlooms. It was a relic that the first duke wrote in the past.
woong
Something found in the Duke’s office.
It was time for Ion to brighten his eyes.
“Prince. Ready.”
“okay? Then let’s get going right away.”
Ian immediately joined the procession of the Duke of Garcia.
The knights that can be said to be the core, and up to the 2nd and 3rd Confucius. It was a large procession with most of the key members of the duke family.
So while Ion touched the relic.
“That’s Kaistein’s heart. It is the royal road.”
Ion had arrived in front of the royal castle.
