Turn a curse into a blessing?
At that absurd remark, Ion laughed, asking him to elaborate.
But Karan only pulled him out with a meaningful smile.
“a. It just can’t be.”
It looked like he was hoping for something. He didn’t like to work all the time.
Ian smiled softly and raised the condition.
“I’ll take you all out of work for the next month.”
At Ian’s words, Karan was even more excited.
He seems to be content with himself that he has the initiative.
“Are you using a little more of the seaweed you use? How much is one month? one month.”
But at those words, Ian raised the corners of her mouth.
“15th.”
“Come on, wait. Why is it getting smaller?”
“5 days. If you do not accept this, I will just speak to Duke Garcia.”
It was natural.
There is no way that Duke Garcia cannot find out the information that Karan has learned. Besides, Garcia is trying to grab Ion’s hand somehow.
Even if it’s not, if it’s Ian’s request, he’ll definitely open Karan’s mouth automatically.
Well, it’s not Hein-ri, and I don’t think this guy will give in to his father so easily.
‘Then we have to use another number.’
Karan, noticing Ion’s cold gaze, eventually declared surrender.
“Ah-oh. can you tell me Tell me!”
Did you know that even if I said it was just a joke, it was no use anymore?
Karan quickly unraveled her story.
“That’s it. There is one backstreet drug dealer that I’ve known since I was little… no. He must have been a merchant from the Magic Continent.”
The merchant told Karan this.
[It’s a drug that I couldn’t find because I didn’t have it at one time. It sold for more than gold. It became taboo while abusedthere.]
It is said to be an incense made from medicinal herbs used in ancient magic.
And when you meet someone who uses proper magic.
“It is said that he can awaken his hidden talents. Swordsmanship, of course, can also happen.”
But the problem started now.
“They said they lost that spell in the great war in the past. All the shamans you might have known have disappeared.”
Anyway, the royal family once tried to find it, but there was a saying that they couldn’t find them all.
Still, there was hope.
“So that’s the thing, my dear. Do you have any money?”
“Why money?”
“Although we don’t know of a shaman who knows the Arcane, it is said that there are objects that make the Arcane usable. But… it’s a bit expensive now.”
Luckily, all of them had owners.
There is only one thing left in the back alley.
It took a lot of money to buy it.
“Are you sure about that?”
“Oh, maybe?”
Then Ion looked at Karan without saying a word.
According to Karan, the object was in the form of a necklace. It is said that if you light incense candles and wear the necklace, it is over.
The only problem was that Duke Garcia was difficult to obtain even with his third son’s allowance.
With his pocket money, he could even buy a shopping mall in the heart of the capital.
And when Ion was interested, Karan smiled broadly.
“Anyway, I’ll buy it, so give me some money.”
“Why me?”
“Because it’s something the prince needs…”
“Unfortunately, I don’t have that much money on hand.”
“?!”
Ian laughed softly.
In fact, until the end of the succession to the throne, there was no money given except for simple maintenance of dignity.
I don’t know when he ascends to the throne.
In other words, do not even think about touching the money of the royal family for the battle for succession.
That was Kaistein’s law.
Of course, if you manage the things you currently have, you can roll a lot of money.
“Anyway, I don’t have the money to support Confucius right now, do I?”
“Ah, no, but if you use royal money…”
“I don’t do anything that will go down in the record. And since he’s still at the bottom of the list, he has the lowest quota. I don’t know if you can give me that much money.”
Karan looked at where he was lying. It’s not that his words are wrong, but the cost of maintaining the dignity that can be used even at the lowest level would be terrifying!
Karan showed an empty pocket as if he had no money.
“Look. His father cut off all his pocket money. As a result, he was unable to work at all . . .”
“okay? I heard that he was quite famous in the gambling house.”
“yes? That… how?”
Ian knew quite a bit about Karan. It is quite a famous anecdote in the future that he swept the gambling hall with his clever brain.
It was because he knew that he had earned his capital as an adventure king that way.
“Anyway, I know that Confucius Karan has some money set aside. Buy it.”
Karan said as if asking for a look.
“I’d rather ask my father…!”
Ian ignored it.
Borrowing money from Duke Garcia will never be free.
And above all else, there was something I was worried about since I heard Karan’s words.
‘no way. Wouldn’t this be it?’
The only thing I care about is the necklace in my pocket.
It was Ion holding the necklace the 3rd Prince had given him.
and.
‘Obvious.’
It had a particularly strange reaction in a space where incense was lit.
For that reason, Ian had no choice but to be suspicious.
‘Did the third prince know that things would turn out like this?’
What if the three princes had the same thing happen? And what if it turned a curse into a blessing with this necklace?
Anyway, what Karan saidIt could have been this thing.
And as he said, all you have to do is put on a necklace and light a scented candle.
‘Then, can I awaken my talents that I didn’t know about?’
Of course I wasn’t sure. I can’t even see it in front of other people.
I needed to test it quietly and secretly.
“First, give me the incense candle.”
“How about money?”
“I see what you’re doing, so I’ll add it.”
“Ah, why don’t you tell your father?”
“For now, leave it to me.”
And Ian raised an eyebrow as if this was the main point.
“And I want to meet the merchant in person.”
“All right. But you can probably refuse. Because he hates royalty. I’m from the magical continent, so I don’t know what to do with the royal family…”
Ian smiled as if it didn’t matter.
Rather, his heart was pounding at the thought of finding the culprit.
‘It may be the culprit that stole my swordsmanship skills in the past.’
Ian’s eyes flashed violently for a moment.
As long as he found the culprit, he would not leave him alone.
Of course, the perpetrators were limited.
‘A person of high rank to know about the palace I am moving to. Besides, he is a talented person who can bring incense candles without anyone knowing.’
That is, one of the four royal heirs. king or queen. It could have been the direct subordinates who followed them.
‘Of course, the biggest suspect is the first princess. and···’
Sure enough, Ian asked Gallon.
“What happened to that assassin earlier?”
“I know a few things, as you said.”
It is said that it was not possible to dig a lot of information due to the short time.
But still, he did dig up some essential information. He was also the first to know that torture was a liberal arts skill for the knight.
“First of all, he was wearing the royal court uniform. Moreover, when the prince moved to the Crystal Palace, he was supposed to be assigned there. and him. He knew of the existence of candles.”
At that, Ian laughed.
It was also as expected.
‘Princess 1 and Prince 2 are siblings.’
At first glance, the two looked like a dog and a cat with the right to succession, but if they had an opinion, they exchanged benefits.
In fact, the poison that the 2nd prince tried to use against him through assassin or battle was the poison that the 1st princess used well.
And I still won for it.
‘Are the two princes intertwined?’
Galon seemed to have the same idea.
“It seems that almost all of the 2nd Prince has moved to the capital. It also tells about his location, his troop, and other assassins. It seems that he intends to take revenge on the prince by using Lavaltor and the nobles.”
It wasn’t just that.
Ion’s eyes widened at the information Galon whispered.
“I beg your pardon? Did the second prince put a spy in the first princess or queen?”
For a moment, Ian couldn’t keep his mouth shut.
‘I wouldn’t tolerate a child no matter what. The position of the royal court of the king of Elaine is not easy.’
Anyway, he was the second prince who planted a spy even for the queen. There must be his hands and ears all over the palace.
And he’s probably thinking of isolating himself and disposing of himself in his own garden, the royal palace.
He was carrying Lavaltor, one of the great axes of the nobility, on his back.
However.
‘Not like that.’
So Ian moved. Of course, there was work to be done before that.
“How far will you follow me?”
“Yes?”
“I don’t want to go to the merchant.”
“ha ha ha. First of all, the prince’s whole day should be over. When you return to the Crystal Palace, I will go and find out.”
Ian smiled as if he was an abomination.
It was clear that Karan wanted to monitor the work with the Duke of Lavaltor.
Because Lavaltor is a family hostile to Garcia.
“Well, it doesn’t matter if you follow me.Give me a candle.”
“oh. Almost all of this is thrown away…”
A scented candle that is sold at the same rate as gold. He must have been greedy for it.
Ion quickly took the incense from Karan’s hand.
‘I can’t give you this. I don’t know how talented I am.’
And it didn’t matter if he followed him to monitor him.
The reason was immediately clear.
visor!
Two spears blocking Ion’s front. Because it was the soldiers guarding the entrance of the 1st Knights.
No, not exactly in front of Ian.
“No, why am I!”
They were the guards who only let Ian and Gallon pass through, while Karan blocked them.
They said with a firm face.
“This is an order from Your Excellency Duke of Lavaltor not to accept anyone from the Duke of Garcia.”
“If you want to enter, send the messenger first.”
Ian smiled at Karan, who was crying because she couldn’t follow.
“There is nothing I can do about this. Please take care of what I asked for and wait for you.”
“Prince!”
“Can’t you help it? Confucius Karan is from the Garcia family.”
“Ouch!”
Ian left Karan with an unfair expression behind and followed his soldiers inside.
“welcome. Seven Princes lowered.”
Lavaltor welcomed him.

“your majesty. Please think again. Crystal Palace!”
“It is. Please contact us. However, he is the one who cut off the arm of the second prince who was mentioned as the crown prince.”
king’s palace.
The nobles were shouting with one accord.
It was because of Ian, who was assigned the Crystal Palace.
“It is a place of deep meaning for the heirs to the throne. Isn’t this the palace that His Majesty used before he ascended to the throne? Please reconsider!”
To the aristocrats who were pushing other royal families, it could not help but sound like a blue sky.
But the king gave him a fishy smile.
“So it was given. A child who defeated the 2nd Prince who fought for 1st and 2nd place among my successors. Do you think it’s worth it?”
“Ha… Your Majesty Haona!”
“stop! to get there My decision will not change.”
The nobles groaned at King Elaine’s assertion. A king who didn’t usually go forward is acting like this.
This was clearly a problem.
‘Are you sure you don’t intend to hand over the throne to the 7th Prince? So what are you already working on?’
‘It’s ridiculous.’
Of course, they were also looking for Ian’s outstanding man.
Because something happened at the proof ceremony.
So that was more of a problem.
‘I can’t give the prince wings.’
So the nobles of the faction had no choice but to look at the Marquis Adelas.
If it was Adelas, who had the hegemony of the East, the king would listen to him.
The Prime Minister of the Administration, Marquis Adelas, sighed.
‘You idiots. We just have to take a step back here.’
But it was already spilled.
And even if Ion was recognized as the owner of the Crystal Palace, it would be difficult.
‘Anyway, there is neither Garcia nor Lavaltor here now. There may be no other chance than now.’
His child, Nathan, has been instructed to be loyal to his 1st princess.
“your majesty. I’m sorry, but I dare to say that the face of Lavaltor, who is engaged to the second prince, is unthinkable. Think of the vassals of your Majesty.”
“That’s right, Your Majesty.”
“I ask you not to forget the loyalty of Lavaltor, one of the pillars that support Kaistein. We are all at peace thanks to him and his family taking charge of the north.”
But the king’s reaction was lukewarm.
After Adelas seemed to have little choice, he pulled out the last card.
“your majesty. A month later, envoys and distinguished guests from all over the world will come to the foundation day.”
“By the way?”
“underThe owner of Ona Crystal Palace has the right to receive envoys and distinguished guests from all over the world from generation to generation. I am worried whether the 7th Prince, who is still young, will be able to bear that heavy weight.”
In other words, will Ion be able to control the distinguished guests who visit this country a month later?
“Of course, as a royal family and as the owner of the Crystal Palace, as long as we can confirm that we have the capabilities and abilities, we will be able to feel at ease.”
Etiquette, art, culture, history, even cesarean studies. all exams.
was asking for it
“If you pass that test, you will be recognized as the owner of the Crystal Palace and apologize to him.”
In addition, I will completely forget the sin of cutting off the second prince’s arm.
From https://noblemtl.com
Marquis Adelas was saying so.
Well, he’s himself. As long as he serves the 1st princess, the 2nd prince’s business. It doesn’t matter anyway.
At the same time, he was thinking.
‘Of course, Garcia will make it through somehow. But even if that were the case, it wouldn’t be enough to teach for a day or two. All the time is wasted on education, so you won’t even care about rank-and-file battles.’
Besides, Lavaltor would never stand still.
While they are wasting their time, they will try to deal with Ian.
Isn’t it?
Because it was the 7th Prince who cut off the arm of the bridegroom of the only daughter.
‘The time when Lavaltor takes care of the 7th Prince is the signal.’
Adelas was planning to raise the 1st Princess as the sure heir to the throne this time.
“great. Don’t let me do that.”
Until the declaration of the king that followed.
An irreversible bet was about to begin.
