“But your Majesty. The Crystal Palace is mine, so why do I need the test? If you take the exam, give it a reasonable reward. Then I will pass the test.”
The nobles roared at Ion’s meaningful laugh.
What did the prince say now?
That’s right, Ian is a genius who has only just become a prince. His eyes were full of what he was saying to the nobles who accepted him as a prince.
Because of this, King Elaine smirked.
“Do you know the meaning of what you said now?”
“of course. The Crystal Palace belongs to His Majesty. Doesn’t that mean that you test your master’s qualifications with what your Majesty has given you?”
The nobles frowned at Ion’s dignified words. But Ian looked around with a relaxed expression.
It’s like the eyes asking if there’s something wrong with what you said.
In short, it was a provocation.
In other words, whose goods are you guys daring to discuss with the owner now?
The nobles had no choice but to raise their eyes to see that man.
‘This is dangerous.’
‘According to that logic, we become rebels against His Majesty’s things.’
The nobles were hurried to say that it was not their intention.
But Ian was faster.
“Isn’t it? your majesty?”
At that moment, the eyes of King Elaine and Ion collided in the air.
like a snowball fight.
Has such a short time passed?
The king smiled lightly and opened his mouth to Ian.
“good night. There’s really no reason to take the test with your own. Then don’t give me a reason.”
King Elaine took out a ring from his finger. It was a ring with golden jewels and a dragon pattern.
Then he lifted it high for everyone to see.
“If you pass the test, I will take this down. However, if it does not pass, you will have to present the Crystal Palace. Will you still do it?”
It was nonsense.
Crystal Palace is one of the key points that can solidify its position as a successor. Fill that place with just one ringare you going to
But Ian’s eyes lit up.
‘I’m sure it’ll come out of here.’
The ring is one of the ten treasure rings of the king.
Ion already had the [Miniature Subspace Ring], but he knew exactly what it was.
‘It was definitely something passed down to the first princess in a previous life.’
It was also such a great thing that it was given as a reward for winning the competition.
It was natural.
[Seal of the Guardian Dragon]
Kaistein had a legend. Legend has it that a guardian dragon will appear and protect you when the country is in danger of being destroyed.
That ring is a sign of a promise to fulfill that oath.
It was the item that saved the life of the first princess over and over again in her previous life.
Of course, now, rather than the legend about the guardian dragon, the character representing the king’s agent was stronger.
And was it the intention of being able to determine the value of this ring?
The nobles who immediately recognized the ring that reflected the light immediately shouted in amazement.
“your majesty! That thing…!”
“I’m sorry, but it’s not just something to put out for a test.”
“Come right. The king’s deputy seal! It’s not as good as that…”
But Ian shook his head.
“no. Instead of that, I want something else.”
“Ohh? Are you saying that even though you know what this ring means?”
“Of course I have heard of the ring.”
That ring is the ring of the legendary guardian dragon and the pact, and the proof that the king can wield the authority of the agent in the absence of the king.
But Ian knew that the ring was poison.
‘King Elaine has never been absent. So, an agent’s position is nothing but a false position.’
Besides, the guardian dragon is currently asleep. He wakes up years later.
That means it’s not something you need right now.
So Ian shouted proudly.
“I heard that there is a royal lands playing near the estate of the Duke of Lavaltor in the north. Can you give me it?”
“The royal estate of the north?”
King Elaine narrowed his brow for a moment.
Was there such a place?
But the chieftain quickly approached him and whispered.
“You seem to be referring to the Helgaia territory adjacent to the monster forest. The land is barren and the forest of monsters is close, so it is a backward land with few residents.”
“ah. You are talking about it.”
Elaine recognized it as soon as she heard it.
In the past, it was an excellent manor that was rumored to have been blessed, but now it is a cursed land where no proper crops can grow.
It was a wasteland of no value, so it was not a place I remembered.
Therefore, King Elaine did not understand.
‘Why such a piece of garbage?’
Seeing that, the chieftain whispered. Perhaps, the heart of a child could not be understood by the king, who thought of everything as an advantage.
just as expected.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. Helgaia doesn’t know anything else, but isn’t the land large enough to be compared to any other counties? Perhaps the prince would like to own even a modest estate.”
“Right.”
From https://noblemtl.com
Maybe he didn’t like being compared to other brothers.
Unlike his other brothers, Ian has nothing.
So King Elaine saw Ian. It wasn’t a difficult situation for him.
The land is useless anyway.
It’s a land that has been talked about about handing it over to the Marquis of Adelas in the East.
And, perhaps the nobles had similar thoughts, they opened their mouths.
“It seems like a very wise idea. The prince must have at least one of his own estates.”
“Even though it is a land of nothing, it will be helpful for the seventh prince’s study.”
study would be
How he himself picked up the useless land. Greed is a big advantage in the succession warAbout smashing my chance to get a Lee Kwon.
You will realize the feeling of regret.
But King Elaine, who did not bother to tell me about it, nodded.
“good night. If you pass the test, I will give you the land. However, if it does not pass, you will have to present the Crystal Palace. Will you still do it?”
The cursed land and the crystal palace of little value.
Considering the value of the two, it was really absurd.
But Ian’s eyes lit up.
“good. I will accept it.”
It was a bet with no regrets. No, no matter what kind of examiner the nobles bring. I was confident that I would win overwhelmingly.
Besides, there was something very special about the Helgaia estate.
‘It must have been Adelas who took it.’
But there was yolk land. When Marquis Adelas found out about that fact, he resorted to taking it by various means.
‘It’s not too late this time.’
So it was Ian who smiled softly.
At the sight, King Elain hardened his expression and opened his mouth.
“The deal was made. I’m going to put the Helgaia estate and your crystal palace to the test.”
He looked at Ion coldly, as if to do something.
“The exam is in a month. I’ll see you in the big banquet hall. Know that and be prepared.”
“I will take your name.”
The date of the sequence battle has not yet been announced, but it will likely follow shortly after this test.
It was a very unfavorable situation for Ian.
It was because I was running out of time to prepare for the exam and the sequence battle at the same time.
But the king beckoned Ion to leave.
“Then let’s get out of here. Please live forever. your majesty.”
Ian also seemed to have done all his chores. Instead of arguing, he just turned his back and left the room.
And the nobles looked at the expressionless king and raised the corners of his lips.
‘Your Majesty’s eyes have changed.’
‘You were disappointed. It’s okay, though.’
Perhaps the king’s offer of the ring meant a great deal.
However, not knowing its value, he refused the king’s favor because he was greedy for a land that was the size of him.
‘The prince blows away the king’s love himself.’
‘You seem to have expected it.’
And soon it was the moment when the nobles were about to speak up to the king.
“lung···”
“Pu ha ha ha ha!”
The king couldn’t take it any longer and burst out laughing.
The nobles were startled by the unexpected and cheerful laughter.
But the king seemed very happy.
It was natural.
‘How the hell is this? The feeling of someone rushing at me.’
Was it from the time he ascended the throne after killing all his brothers?
Since the war with other kingdoms, they were called zealots. No one dared to raise their head in front of him.
But, his youngest son, not anyone else, would have looked at him like that.
‘I really like you.’
The king suddenly remembered the prophecy that had been given to him. The wait seemed to be over now.
“The naughty boy. How dare you ask me for a reward.”
He remembered the image of a woman from the past in Ion.
Clearly, she was as proud as Ian.
But she also had some quirks.
‘The land is useless. Why did you have to ask for it?’
The king was very sorry for Ian’s choice.
‘For now, I’ll have to let them see what they’re going to do with the land.’
And he intended to investigate the land to see if he had missed anything.
But now it didn’t matter.
“I don’t think you can read the atmosphere.”
“Yes?”
“At your request, I even walked to the royal family. I mean, can you stand still?”
With those cold eyes, the nobles moved as well.
“Okay, then we’ll bet the family’s treasure.”
“Then weare the troops.”
“We love jewelry..”
But there were also nobles who did not move.
Exactly the nobles.
One of them was the Marquis Adelas.
“I think this bet is going to be against us. You have to use some force.”
“Yes. father.”
While asking his eldest son and the supervisor of this exam to prepare more thoroughly.
“Tell the first princess as well. The youngest prince would not be a good match.”
‘I guess I’ll have to use my own hands. I’m going to get hurt by looking at you as a kid.’
He devised a ploy to use his hand even to the test.
He was starting to aim for Ian properly.
of course···
“okay. Will the Marquis Adelas not bet on anything?”
“no. your majesty. Let’s hang our family villa.”
“How about the summer villa of your estate, which is famous for its beauty?”
“of course. your majesty. If you pass it, I’ll let you hang it.”
It was the first thing to respond to the king’s astute attack.
*
Ian immediately left the main palace. And Galon, who had met such a change, approached with concern.
“Are you really okay with this?”
He knew immediately what was going on inside.
In other words, if you provoke the nobles, the test will be difficult.
But Ian smiled as if it wasn’t a big deal.
“Do not worry. I am very confident.”
“!”
I did just that.
It was because the past Ion had already passed the test once. Even then, he had given a tough test saying that he would lose the qualifications of the successor.
However, the scholars and teachers gathered with the wealth of the Duke Garcia, as well as Heinli’s brutal harassment.
Ian studied while clenching his teeth all year long, saving even the time he slept, and was eventually able to pass.
‘It’s the same even if you make the test more difficult. I have already lived a life of several decades.’
As a child only on the outside, the royal etiquette and knowledge had already been cut to pieces.
‘In the case of history, I will have to look at the details again.’
However, Galon looked a bit uneasy.
I had no choice but to do so.
[The examiner is the eldest son of the Marquis Adelas?]
[Maybe that Treasury’s cold-blooded glasses? Isn’t he a genius who got his doctorate from the academy before his coming-of-age ceremony?]
[That dreadful man is preparing for the exam. It won’t be easy…]
The knights of the royal family also heard the story of whether the succession war had to be a big concern.
But Ian wasn’t worried about Gallon’s anxiety either.
It wasn’t important to him.
“I think we need to get out of the castle.”
Ian recalled the business of a backstreet merchant he was supposed to meet at night.
“I think I’ll have to join Confucius Karan from the outside, how did it go?”
“Yes. I told the royal aide about going out, but it seems like it will take some time to go out.”
“Hmm.”
It was not easy for even the royal family to go out.
In addition to reporting to the king, an appropriate permit had to be issued.
I don’t know if my back stomach is strong like 2nd Prince. If it’s like this, it’s a little difficult.
‘I told you I couldn’t see the merchant except today.’
It seemed that Karan had barely managed to hold on to it. And it was this time he said that he would never meet.
‘I think it’s okay to talk to Lavaltor for now…’
There was also a way to go out for a while while being caught in the gap between the 1st Knights.
However, it was evident that he received help immediately after that incident.
“I’m probably going to sneak out.”
“Yes? one lower. If they get caught, it could cause problems.”
No, it wouldn’t be easy to sneak out in the first place.
But it was then.
“You seem to be in a difficult situation?”
who appeared before him.
green onionThere was a handsome man with yellow hair leaning against the wall like a hanyang.
“older brother?”
It was the 3rd Prince.

From https://noblemtl.com
Meanwhile, it was around that time.
“Welcome back to the palace.”
The valet of the Ruby Palace bowed his head politely, unlike usual.
The owner of the Ruby Palace.
Because the second prince has returned.
But the 2nd Prince didn’t care like that kind of greeting.
“So what happened to what you said?”
“I’ll call you right now.”
The valet beckoned, and the door to the next room opened.
Appearing there is a craftsman and a huge arm made of iron armor.
It was a prosthetic to replace Ion’s lost arm, and it was a magic tool.
“But lower. It cannot be used as it is now.”
“know.”
So, the second prince was going to ask Lavaltor. Because I needed the help of a top-notch knight to write this.
“What is Lavaltor doing?”
“What it is doing now, the 1st Knights are moving…”
The servant glanced at him, but the second prince smiled as if it were a pity.
“It seems Lavaltor is strangely preparing for my revenge.”
“then···”
“Call the Duke of Lavaltor right away.”
Whoops Shruakk.
The 2nd Prince burst out laughing as if he couldn’t stand it.
As if he was thinking of getting revenge on Ion right away.
