sell? what?
At the king’s gaze, Ion slowly put his hand into his arms.
Then what he takes out.
“···that.”
small necklace.
It was none other than Ian’s mother’s keepsake.
That’s what Ian proved to be of royal blood in the Duke of Garcia.
At the same time, the two eyes of King Elaine looking at it fluttered for an instant.
I had no choice but to do so.
It wasn’t just because it was a token of the royal family or because it was a treasure of the country.
This item was given by the king directly to Selena, Ion’s mother.
But the king soon glared at Ion with bitter eyes.
“Certainly, it is the only treasure left in the country. If you want to sell it, you can turn it into an astronomical value.”
The voice of the king who spoke his words was cruel.
If it was definitely something worth selling to yourself, it would have to be something worth that much.
“Isn’t that what you were selling?”
“no. Could it be?”
Ian smiled as if he was asking why he was selling this.
Even so, just having Kaistein’s mark is a big help.
In other words, what he is selling is not a necklace.

It was in a necklace.
To be precise, the item after opening the Kaistein pattern drawn on the necklace. Inside was a piece of paper.
Along with the wonderful picture of the lion, even the words that King Elaine left behind.
“Your mother missed you all her life.”
Ion bit his lip with a slightly confused expression.
In the original way, it was something that he wanted to keep for the rest of his life, rather than selling it.
However.
‘Your mother will want this too.’
In fact, a word from King Elaine shook him.
It was because he said that he could call me Abamama. Of course, the decision was not made simply out of an impulse of emotion.
‘Now is the only time I can see His Majesty this alone.’
King Elaine appeared in public for a while after the contention of
Of course, I felt that this time because of the work of the mages, the king’s invisibility might have something to do with the magic continent.
And this time, I don’t want to let them go.
‘Even to beat the first princess, I had to watch it now.’
Ian’s purpose was one.
That’s the [small subspace ring].
It was to request an extension of its rental period.
I was going to borrow it until the first rank battle, but I thought that time would come soon.
And I really wanted to ask for it, but it would be impossible, and I wanted to ask for it to be extended until the competition was over.
‘Then I can use it for at least a year.’
“It is my mother’s only memento left. So I will have to pay a high price.”
In fact, Ian couldn’t remember her mother well anymore.
It’s been too long since she lost her mother if you include memories of her previous life.
As such, this is one of the few things I can remember her mother for.
But King Elaine’s expression was too hard to read. It was because the expression on his face did not change even when he saw the object that Ian was offering.
Shouldn’t it be said that even the emperor of an empire is not a king who gets tired of it?
‘Does this mean it’s not worth it?’
It was time for Ion to narrow his eyebrows for a moment in the prolonged silence.
“I can’t really buy it cheaply.”
“···!”
At the king’s words, Ion flinched.
King Elaine continued.
“However, the Treasury has already been opened, and the military or the royal family cannot be given.”
The king pledged political neutrality to his ministers after Prince 1’s incident.
Of course, they weren’t particularly scary, but the king’s oath was heavy.
So, what do you want?
Ian, who read the meaning immediately, said confidently.
“I would like to extend the rental period of the subspace ring.”
“…”
“If possible, until the competition is over.”
The king was silent for a moment.
that would be it too. [Miniature Subspace Ring] is one of the ten rings he has. Because it was one of the things he had collected throughout his life.
Ion also looked at the king with tense eyes.
‘You probably won’t allow it so easily. Separate conditions may be attached.’
But King Elaine’s answer was unexpected.
“That wouldn’t make sense.”
“yes?”
“It was already given to you.”
“then···”
“You can use it until you are an adult.”
“!”
It was an extraordinary rental period.
It didn’t end there.
snuggle
The king was wearing ten rings on his hand.
No, he didn’t have [the miniature space ring] anymore, so he took one of the only nine rings off his finger.
King Elaine sent it to Ion through his servant.
“This?”
Ian’s eyes widened as he accepted the ring.
He had no choice but to do so.
A golden ring embossed with a golden dragon.
‘The seal of the guardian dragon?’
It was the very ring that was mentioned as a reward for the Crystal Palace.
And the ring contained a contract with the guardian dragon that he had signed an oath with the first king of Kai Stay in the past.
Of course, for some reason, it was a guardian dragon that did not appear even when the empire fell…
‘The guardian dragon exists.’

Moreover, he even saved the life of the ring owner. He had saved the first princess several times in his previous life.
But it was too expensive to exchange for his mother’s memento.
Because of this, Ion looked at the king as if he was bewildered.
“your majesty.”
But the king’s words were not over yet.
“That may not be enough. Don’t let me pay you the price you’re missing sooner or later.”
“···!”
“thatIt’s worth it, and I haven’t been able to properly act as a father until now. Think of it as something you haven’t done before.”
At the unexpected words, Ion bit his lip.
‘Maybe I was thinking wrong in my previous life.’
It was natural.
The king had never shown infidelity in his previous life. And much less love for his mother.
Even when he saw Ian, he didn’t care too much.
But what if he thinks of his mother more than his own?
And if he wasn’t just a thorn in his eyes.
“Your Majesty… maybe…”
But King Elaine looked at Ion with his chin clenched.
“Just go back. I have work to do now.”
The king was looking at the paper Ian had given him. It was as if he was immersed in some memory.
Seeing this, Ion had no choice but to bow his head and back away.
The question about his mother promises the following.
*
The king’s treasury was beyond imagination.
“Wow.”
Although he saw many treasures in the ordeal, this treasure trove also had the power to surprise people.
It was natural.
“These are the treasures Your Majesty has been collecting since childhood. There are also things that we obtained from conquering other kingdoms.”
Not only that, but also the king’s tribute, which is newly supported every year.
Although he is now a gentle king, he was an Elaine who made a name for himself by fearing the neighboring countries in his youth.
The treasure trove couldn’t be ordinary.
“It’s an ax you got from the borderlands of Bahara. There are some spells at stake.”
“ah! The scroll is an object enchanted with impact enchantment. The one next to him is mental magic dispelled.”
“Ahh! It was the sword of one of the famous knights, Christian…”
Have you been thinking about it for so long?
The valiant may have finished introducing himself, he said with a laugh as to what to choose.
“As you said, I will take it to the Crystal Palace right away. Which would you choose?”
At the words of the chieftain, Ion laughed as if he was talking about something.
“I will take them all. Put them all in one place.”
The chieftain’s face hardened.
“I… yes?”
“Did you not hear me? Pack it all up.”
The chief servant looked at Ieon in astonishment.
“Yes? Your Majesty will surely be angry if you take all of this, no matter how low it is!”
“You said you can take whatever you want, so there is no limit on the number.”
“····?!”
Of course, King Elaine said he could carry as much as he could, but well.
There was no problem for Ion with the [small subspace ring].
But Ian wasn’t really looking for such things.
‘It must be here…’
Ian looked around and smiled brightly.
“I knew there would be.”
What Ian found was an iron doll and helmet that looked like a scarecrow.
And these objects were the objects of the Kaistein Empire.
Of course, it is said that no one can use it now because the way to use it has been forgotten, but this training tool greatly increases training efficiency.
‘If this is the case, there is no problem with the sequence war.’
That was when Ian was about to instruct him to take out the training tools.
“yes?”
Ian’s eyes turned to a certain place.
It was an empty decorative table.
There was only one pedestal left on the decorative table. But Ion, who looked there, narrowed his brow.
And let him put his hand on the pedestal just in case.
Oooh!
And at that reaction, Ian clicked his tongue as if he had expected it.
‘I wanted to feel something familiar.’
Have you gotten used to writing
7 main linesI felt a similar force.
And it was certain.
‘Here was the power of the seven main Zen.’
It felt exactly the same as when I first entered the basement where
Ion, who was in a hurry, immediately asked the chief servant.
“What was the thing here?”
“ah···! If anything here is definitely a jar. Your Majesty brought them from the border of Bahara after you cut off the head of an enemy.”
The servant smiled happily, but Ion’s eyes turned cold.
He had no choice but to do so.
‘Who has sought the power of the seven great masters here?’
Just as he had obtained the sealed
‘shit. I was looking for other powers as well.’
whoever.
Ian confirmed it right away.
“Who took the jar?”
“The three princes fell. The day I got my qualifications as a knight, he came in and took it.”
“···!”
Ian couldn’t help but be surprised.
The strange feeling he felt whenever he met the three princes. Because he seemed to know what it was.
‘The 3rd Prince must have one of the 7 major arrangements.’
If only there was a difference with Count Arya.
‘ Count Arya was wielding without knowing what kind of power it was. He even had his powers sealed to me.’
But the 3rd Prince was completely different.
Not only did he use his power skillfully, but he also hid his power in front of Lee Eon’s
It reminded me of the 7th Joseon who was by the first king’s side.
“Ever since the first time we met, he’s an older brother who thought he had a lot to hide…”
But I’m sure he hid it until the 7th.
‘Then maybe the reason you pretended to be close to me was because you recognized
don’t know again
Like himself, the 3rd Prince may have been gathering the 7th generation. That’s why I didn’t know that he was wandering around as if watching over Ion.
And if the 3rd Prince had the power of the 7th Grand Master, it was a bit risky if he was looking for it.
‘It could be the most dangerous enemy.’
Still, the 3rd Prince Louis Kai Stein was called the most genius among his successors.
In fact, even in the past, it was difficult to deal with the 3 princes.
‘At that time, I was lucky enough to defeat the 3rd Prince.’
Duke Garcia took care of it, so he himself doesn’t know how it ended.
However.
‘Anyway, I must occupy it before my brother gathers the power of other arrangements.’
With that in mind, Ian called the chief servant.
“I would like to hear detailed information about the items your brother took. And when he took it.”
“I will investigate it soon.”
That was when Ian was giving instructions.
slurp
Ion was unaware of the fact that the pedestal of the jar brought by the 3rd Prince was changing its shape. And as if reacting to him, the liquid-like thing is seeping into the shadow as if welcomed.
*
As soon as Ian came out of the treasury, Nathan approached with a panic.
“Prince, this is a big deal. If you come out now, what will you do…!”
Ian frowned as if it was bothering him.
“why. What happened?”
“What’s going on…! The 4th Prince has been waiting for the snow to fall for hours!”
Ian wanted to say goodbye.
“ah. Oh my, I thought I was going to see you today. I forgot.”
It seems that time has passed since I was researching about the seven main lines.
And as you might have guessed from Nathan’s expression, the 4th Prince was waiting in the Crystal Palace with a bubbly expression.“The youngest. Are you sure you are playing with me now?”
It was natural for the 4th Prince to be angry.
It was because Ian was the first to meet.
Ion opened his mouth with a shy expression.
“I’m really sorry. I have something urgent to investigate.”
“inspection?”
Without delay, Ian put the book down in front of the 4 princes.
That’s a copy of the treasury entrance.
“My sister’s name was also written on it. It looks like you’ve been here recently.”
“Let’s see. Casillas fruit?”
The 4th Prince’s eyes twinkled.
“Did you make me wait for something like this now?”
As the 4th prince tried to return in anger, Ion caught him.
“The Casillas fruit is not just a fruit. Depending on how you use it, it can be poisonous.”
“I know that. But to say poison is paralysis. Things for the beasts of the Bahara…
“That’s different when a specific process is involved.”
“!”
What Ian said was not a lie.
“According to the process, it is fatal to humans. It leaves no trace and is especially bad for men.”
“The bad thing is…”
“What you are thinking is correct. It cannot be passed on.”
The 4th Prince looked at him with disgust.
“Looking at what you brought with you recently. It is clear that you are writing to someone.”
It will most likely be Ian.
But surprisingly, the 4th Prince shook his head.
“no. It will not be you.”
“Then who are you?”
“It must be the second prince.”
“yes?”
Ian was rarely surprised.
However, the eyes of the 4th Prince were serious.
“You seem to be aiming for the
“···!”
“Obviously, he’s going to take the sword of domination first and then deal with you.”
The reason was simple.
“Are your knights the only normal ones? If only I could rule you with the sword of domination. I will use your knights to solve the northern bee easily.”
“this..”
It was certainly dangerous if it was a sword of domination.
Although the conditions of use were difficult, the effect was clear enough to admit it.
‘It will be of great help during the mission of the investigation team and when dealing with the first princess sister.’
But there was something Ian didn’t understand.
“But there’s no way the 2nd Prince hyung could accept the rank-and-file battle, right?”
4 The prince also nodded his head.
It meant that they would too.
“right. If it was my older brother, I would definitely reject all the rank-and-file battles and look for opportunities in the Northern Expedition. If it was the sword of domination, it would be able to make a huge achievement.”
A person who was already in an advantageous position, he said, there was no way he could gamble that he could lose everything.
‘Well, it would be nice if I could have it too, but there’s no way for that person to fight in the ranks.’
But it was then.
“It’s a big deal! Lowering!”
Isn’t Karan coming to him with a really urgent expression?
It was obviously a face with some kind of problem.
And at that very moment.
“It’s a sequence match! The sequence match has been announced!”
Ian immediately opened his eyes.
“Are you the first princess too?”
“Yes? No, that’s…”
Karan sent out the letter with a look of embarrassment.
The content was shocking.
[2nd Prince Robert Kaistein will challenge 7th Prince Ian Kaistein]
Ian laughed.
