“This is it.”
Ian headed toward the carriage, guided by the soldiers.
At that time, the villagers who saw Ion seemed shocked.
“What the hell is this?”
“I know. The lord told me to gather in the square. Ian, why is that idiot over there?”
“Neither do I. But can Ion be over there? Wasn’t the lord and the supervisor looking for it? Would you like to pay tribute?”
“hey! Ian! What are you doing there! Don’t come this way soon!”
Some residents even shouted at Ion.
It was after Gallon stood behind Ian that their mouths stopped.
“!”
Galon was wearing a knight’s suit.
Even though he was a villager, there was no way he could not recognize the knight. As Galon headed towards Ian, the villagers became white.
“hey! Ian! Are you crazy? A knight is passing by!”
“Don’t block the road, get out of there! You are such a big deal, dude!”
“How many knightsI’m a scary person…”
But soon the villagers were astonished.
Isn’t Galon taking off my cloak and putting it on Ion?
“There are many eyes to see.”
The villagers were startled by the sight and did not say anything more. And with a roar as to what had happened, a voice could be heard from afar.
“Hey, something’s wrong!”
“Why, what is this riot?”
“Now is not the time! Now that damn lord and overseer have been taken away by the knights! We live now! I won’t take any more money.”
“What?”
“And Lee Eon is a prince! Prince!”
“what?!”
They looked at Ian with wide eyes.
“What, what, what happened?”
“Then maybe that too…!”
Did you come to pick up Ion?
People looked at Ian as if in shock.
“Somehow, he didn’t pay attention…! There, the knight even took off his cloak to the serf…!”
Then they could not shout at Ian in half.
And Ion, who received the cloak, looked at Gallon as if he was surprised.
‘The mantle must have been taken off on purpose…’
They would not have seen the prince they had brought to be slandered.
‘It would be a nuisance to the duke’s name.’
Galon was loyal enough to be trusted by the Duke, so it was understandable, but still surprising.
It’s not what the nobles see, it’s just the situation that commoners see.
‘Did my first impression change a little?’
It was definitely different from before.
No, in the first place, it is different from the fact that it is so closely related to an article like Gallon. He could feel that he was treating him.
That was when Ian got on the wagon.
“You can change into the clothes inside.”
The clothes for Ian were folded in the bag in the carriage.
“These clothes were prepared by the people of the duke family when they heard that the prince was coming. It took a long time to prepare, so it looks like they put a lot of thought into it.”
He must have paid attention to the word of the prince’s coming.
Gallon left his seat so that Ian could change clothes comfortably.
Now Ian was alone in the wagon.
‘This is also the same as in the past.’
Ian opened the bag and lifted the clothes.
The small pants were tight like jeol pants, and they were pumpkin pants with a round tube on their thighs to make sure they were full of air. The neck was also decorated with cumbersome decorations like a scarf lizard.
‘It’s a typical aristocratic attire.’
How precious were these clothes in the past?
‘I was happy as if I became a nobleman right away.’
It was very sad to leave his hometown and lose his mother’s belongings. But it was also true that he was excited to end his life as a serf and become royalty.
But Ian’s eyes looking at it were cold.
‘It was good. Even if it’s not just these.’
Ian threw away the clothes he was holding.
It was because the clothes that the people of the duke had prepared had made him disgrace in the past.
I had no choice but to do so.
All of these clothes are from 50 years old.
It was the things that were worn by the dying noble families of the rural villages.
In fact, Ion, who wore that outfit, received a lot of ridicule from the nobles.
That wasn’t the only thing.
‘Because he was just a prince from serfdom, he was hesitant to insult me for saying that the outfit suited him well.’
He heard everything behind him. Of course, I didn’t know much about the law at the time, and I didn’t even think about punishing the nobles who were united in an unfamiliar environment.
And although they said they could not find the criminal, it was probably the duke’s aides who ordered these clothes to be brought.
‘You must have hated seeing the serf being called the king’s son-in-law.’
And there was a high probability that the duke knew and tolerated it.
‘finallyAll of them are one.’
But this time it wasn’t going to go the way they thought it would.
Ian looked at his clothes with his eyes twinkling.

“Yes? A messenger?”
“Yes. A messenger.”
Nathan was talking to the centurion. It was also a very secret mission.
“Send a messenger in your name to the nearby nobles who follow you. The lord needs to take care of it.”
“Shall I inform you that the crime name is blasphemy?”
At the centurion’s words, Nathan fell into thought.
“Sir Nathan?”
“no. Just… you can say that you insulted me as a knight. Except for the story of the prince.”
“!”
Nathan remembered Ian from before.
I mentioned earlier that summary execution was the principle, but in reality, summary execution was not a good method in that situation.
‘Actually, there have been very few cases of summary executions recently. Of course it is possible by convention.’
In the first place, Ian was a bastard who had not yet been recognized as a royal bloodline. The nobles might have objected to the appointment of the prince because they already wielded the authority of the royal family.
However, there was one question.
To others, it may seem that the child was scared and stopped the execution, but…
‘Are you really scared to stop?’
His eyes stopped as if he knew a better way to deal with it.
As if reading Nathan’s intentions, the white man smirked.
‘I was interested in the little boy’s attitude. That’s right, it’s Cheonchul.’
But there was no tea.
“Well, if it is the Duke’s intention, it would be better if the other nobles did not know about the prince’s existence. I will.”
Fortunately, the lord was not from a family with a skeleton.
If that was the case, it wouldn’t make sense to say that he simply caught the knight for blasphemy.
And it was when they came to where the wagon was.
“Prince? Don’t do this!”
“If you know the Book of Gallon, great things will happen…!”
It was a bit noisy around the carriage.
Nathan hurriedly approached the situation where the soldiers were buzzing.
“what. What’s up?”
“Oh, Sir Nathan!”
Nathan looked at Ian standing outside the carriage and tilted his head.
It was because Ian was wearing the same dirty clothes as the first time.
“Didn’t Sir Gallon tell you to change your clothes? Why are you still…”
However, when Nathan checked the inside of the carriage, he was surprised.
Because the bag in the carriage was full of torn clothes.
Nathan looked at Ion in amazement, but he said Ian.
“I came into the wagon to wear it, but what is it all about? It must have been an animal.”
Ian spoke naturally, but Nathan’s face frowned as he checked his clothes.
‘This is… someone artificially ripped it.’
Nathan quickly looked at Ian.
‘Is this kid…?’
Ian didn’t show anything at all, but Nathan was three times quicker than others.
‘Why the hell are you doing this?’
But it was then.
He immediately noticed that there was something odd about the ripped clothes.
“Hey?”
This is definitely a rustic outfit that even a country noble would not wear.
If you’ve ever lived as a city noble, you wouldn’t wear clothes like this unless you’re an idiot.
‘I don’t know who was joking, but I thought I’d make it a joke.’
However, Ian cleared the trap as if he knew that fact.
Ion, who had been living as a serf in the countryside until now.
‘This is… a more interesting prince than I thought.’
And it was then.
Galon, who had gone to look around, returned.
“Nathan? What’s going on?”
“ah. There was a problem with the clothes I had prepared. Maybe I need new clothes?”
“What? Got a problem with your clothes?”
Similarly, Gallon looking inside the carriagewas surprised
“Ugh? What the hell is this outfit?’
Even Galon, who usually does not change his emotions, was surprised.
It was a shocking design even for Galon, who was a commoner. I didn’t even care if my clothes were torn.
“I haven’t even checked the contents, but who the hell is playing such a bad joke…”
Nathan shrugged moderately. And then he glanced at the sweaty white Jean from the side.
“What. It could be someone’s mistake, or it could be someone’s intention. Anyway, that’s not what’s important, is it? I don’t know if the clothes aren’t torn, the clothes are broken…”
“I’ll have to buy some clothes from a nearby village. No, it might be better to get some good clothes from a nearby aristocratic castle.”
That made the centurion sweat even more, and Nathan laughed.
‘The culprit is probably the duke’s aides.’
When he returned to the castle, he was looking forward to seeing how the expressions of the criminals, who would be full of thoughts of teasing the prince, would change.
And Ian smiled as if it was going as planned.
Nathan probably noticed he ripped it, but it didn’t matter.
He’d be glad to know, and whatever he buys will be better than those clothes.
‘You gave me clothes that even that stupid lord wouldn’t wear.’
Unlike Nathan, Ian knew who the culprit was.
That’s right, the culprits are the people you’ll see when you arrive at the Duke’s Castle, and surprisingly, they were the ones the Duke assigned as his aides.
And they played these pranks for their own fun to subdue the steamship.
‘The centurion must have been one of them.’
You could tell just by looking at the white man’s bewildered face.
But there was something more important than that joke.
‘Gallon and Nathan. Both are now of unknown worth.’
Even now, there were many people who were interested in Galon, but in the future, the strongest knight who will resonate the continent.
Although Nathan is said to be the son of a marquise, a deadly knight who aimed at Duke Garcia’s life.
It was more important to win their hearts.
‘Of course it won’t be easy.’
In fact, he didn’t see himself being ridiculed for the clothes because Gallon went back to the ball first in an incident that happened in between, but Nathan was different.
He looked at his ridiculous clothes all the way around, but he didn’t say a word.
‘He must have thought he was just an irrelevant kid.’
Therefore, it was a bit surprising that he said that he would bring good clothes.
So Ian looked at the two and his eyes lit up.
‘The upcoming raid is also a problem, but the first day is the most problematic. That’s when everything is decided.’
It was also for that reason that the clothes of the rustic nobles were torn.
In the past, Lee Eon’s aides were the ones who bothered him the most. Probably, once you enter the castle again, the duke will attach them to you again.
But this time it will be different.
‘In this life, I will decide who I am.’
Ian’s eyes burned with ambition.
