Casting (1)
Startle. I looked around the entrance to Yeongjuseong.
The road we rode into was quiet.
No one was leaving or new arrivals.
A gentle breeze from the southern tip of the Empire tickled my hair.

On December 19, it was the morning of the opening ceremony of the orphanage of Baron Berang.
·······What just happened?
“Prince, why are you like this?”
“No, just. I must have been sensitive because I had trouble sleeping.”
I replied with a smile. Then, Canael’s face suddenly clouded.

Oops, I made a mistake again.
“It was because I saw an amazing sight last night. I told you in the bedroom earlier.”
As he moved and whispered, the boy’s golden eyes widened.
Canael, who understood the meaning of the words, lowered his voice.
“Yeah, I didn’t expect that either… The barons are really great people.”
“So. It was respectful.”
It was sincere. I looked at the back of the baron’s family leading the way.
From https://noblemtl.com
One day, in the wagon that was leaving for the great subjugation of the beasts by the Marquis of Duhem, Benjamin once explained.
It is said that a river flows through the southern tip of the empire.
I remembered the blue Yangtze River flowing across the continent to the West Sea, which I had only seen on maps a few times.
‘Unité River’. The water stream, named after the lost homeland, was nothing more than a wavy picture to me until yesterday.
But to those three, the river was a precious lifeline flowing from the new kingdom. It was a reality where someone’s life came and went.
‘Have you been saving refugees like this since your grandmother’s day?’
Last night, I asked cautiously. Baron Fabrice Verand meekly shook his head.
‘Yes. Grandmother provided a place for them to live, helped them with rehabilitation, and created a new family for them. As a result, the budget to spend on the completion of Yeongjuseong decreased, and it became the current size. That’s what my father taught me.’
‘The baron learned from his father.’
I took his word. Baroness Anne Berang agreed with a small smile.
It’s easy to say, even if it’s not, the fact that we are doing rescue activities for the third generation in a small estate without external support…
It seemed more like a miracle than a great thing. He deserved the Imperial Medal.
No, in my opinion, it was not enough to rise to a much higher title than it is now.
“Is the situation of the Penetian people very difficult?”
I asked Sir John, who was quietly walking beside me.
It would look very pathetic for a prince to ask such a question, but there was nothing he could do.
All I knew about Penetian was the shallow knowledge I had learned from books.
If it was Sir John, he wanted to know the situation of the common people better than anyone from the new kingdom.
He quietly opened his mouth.
“Since His Majesty Christaner suffered madness, the transgressions of local lords have become more frequent. The exploitation and exploitation of commoners is more common the further away from the royal capital.”
“Even though State Secretary Berner is acting as the king’s deputy?”
“Because the deputy is not the king. Besides, he’s been praised for his leadership skills. Instead, he is good at sociability and luxury.”
······I see. I pondered the paladin’s cynical theorem.
As the king repeatedly lost his temper, the country seemed to shake often.
It may get better when Crown Princess Elisa ascends to the throne, but it will take some time before she can completely take power from her biological father.
He’s a bad person in Lister, but on the other side of the continent, the leader seems to be weak and difficult to deal with.
Thanks to this, only innocent ordinary people are able to endure hardship and come to this point.
uhm. Berner is really guilty.
-Jump, jerk
-Tump, tuck…
We walked silently for a while. He said the orphanage was not far from the castle.
There was an explanation that not only the orphans of the barony, but also children from the new country, like last night, were protected there.
It is said that it is a street worth walking for a walk, so I gladly chose to walk.
It would be difficult to enjoy this kind of country life when I return to the Imperial Palace, so I wanted to visit as many places as possible.
– Whoa?
“It’s a bird nest. A house where brave friends live.”
– uh
“Yeah, make it yourself. Not diligent.”
Tite hugged me and cried as she looked at the tree.
The blinking of his black eyes seemed to appeal to curiosity, so he spoke with sincerity.
Demi followed me in an outburst, and the courageous one was flying peacefully over our heads.
“It seems there.”
Benjamin pointed to one place. I widened my eyes.
Canael opened his mouth, and Sir John had a tone mixed with laughter, as if he had not expected this.
“I think you came out to meet your Highness.”
“·················ogue.”
Everyone who stayed in the orphanage gathered in front of the newly built building.
Ages also varied. They ranged from children who thought they were five years old to teenagers who appeared to be in their late teens.
Some of the teachers who took care of the infants smiled softly.
The baron and his party were also surprised. I was busy playing with my feet.
Although it was in the south, it was cold autumn weather to stand for a long time.
“Prince, I am sorry. I told you to wait inside…”
“no. It’s a welcome welcome with a good intention.”
I sighed and shook my head. As I ran and walked, the building quickly got closer. At first glance, it looked bigger and better than Yeongjuseong, so I laughed out loud.
I slowed down, making eye contact with the kid at the front of the group.
The child was holding a small purple bouquet. It looked ugly, but it didn’t matter.
Slowly, he lowered himself and sat down in front of the boy.
The teachers who were bowing out made a sound of pain. Baron Elodie hastily called me.
“Prince.”
“They have a sore throat. I’m fine. hi. Did you make this for you?”
“yes······.”
The child trembled and answered.
Perhaps he forgot the greeting he had prepared, and his lips twitched in restlessness.
Everyone, including the little one, was wearing neat clothes.
I accepted the bouquet and smiled brightly.
“Thank you so much. I have never seen such a pretty flower. I will cherish it.”
“·················ogue.”

Oh my, my face is wrinkled crying i was wrong
“sorry. Are you surprised by his sudden arrival?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Are you going back? Shall we go to your house?”
“Hung, no, it’s prettier…”
“Congratulations, Prince.”
The baron, who could not see, began to comfort the child by holding him.
The wife said, ‘The prince is more beautiful than the flowers.’ and explained
He added that he was crying because he was nervous, not because he was afraid.
Indeed, the little boy did not take his eyes off me even though he was held in his strong arms.
I’m glad I wasn’t filmed as a bad guy.
“Would you like to come in? I wonder what it will be like on the inside.”
Sir John, who was watching quietly, suggested. We happily agreed.
“I baked a cake with Mr. Roland……. I’ll give it to you, prince.”
The crying boy shouted at me. I giggled and wiped my wet cheeks.

“Tahh, hot heuk…….”
Christel de Sarnez, that is, Ham Ga-in, woke up with a writhing stretch.
It was broad daylight and the room was brightly lit.
“Hungry.”
She muttered as she scratched the back of her head.
It was yesterday evening when I heard that ‘Father’ was ill, and left Baron Berang.
It was around three or four in the morning when I reached Sarnez.
He helped the Baron couple all day, and had been riding a wagon all night long, so it was difficult for even an archbishop-level paladin to shake off fatigue.
I’m jealous, but I haven’t been able to catch up with Mr. Johann yet.
That was Kristel’s last impression. She barely brushed her teeth and collapsed into a familiar bed, fainting.
‘I’ll see you in the daytime, baby. Once you sleep You can’t even open your eyes.’
‘yes. Let the nanny rest too.’
I remember having a conversation like that. But…
“It’s so quiet.”
For some reason, the inside and outside of the castle seemed too quiet.
No matter how it was on a Saturday, it was strange that he couldn’t even hear the chivalry of the knights outside the window.
It was also strange that the nanny, who guarded him like a knife at dinner, had not yet come to wake him up.
– crumble, crumble
Kristel instinctively silenced the footsteps and got out of bed.
I made clean water, washed my throat, and washed my face. Then my mind was blown.
Wiping her face carelessly in her nanny’s pajamas, she moved carefully and looked around the room.
“nurse? excuse me?”
But no one was there. The blue-gray eyes narrowed.
Thump, Thump. The fireplace was full of new firewood.
I looked at the clock and it was past noon. Obviously someone came and went…
“what.”
Christel, who was scanning the room, was sullen. A covered meal was placed on the table.
From https://noblemtl.com
Others would say where is the problem with this, but for her, it couldn’t be more suspicious.
Since Ga-in took possession, the nanny has never missed seeing her eat breakfast.
No matter how busy he was, he went out after checking how Christel was chewing and drinking.
It was the same in the duke’s residence. It was because he was very worried about the baby, who had been sick for a long time.
“······Oh my gosh!”
“Shh!”
At that moment, the voices of the servants were heard outside the bedroom door.
Kristel jumped back and stood in front of the door.
As she put her ear to her ear and raised the ether in her body, the whispering conversation was clearly audible.
It was just as the teacher taught.
“So you locked me up?”
“Because it is. The whole zodiac has been turned upside down!”
lock up? who who? Kristel frowned. What’s going on?
“It’s terrifying, it’s creepy… Then what about the father?”
“Fortunately, you are unharmed. Thanks to him, all the powerless commoners survived. I heard from my cousin, what a bang! And the moment it exploded, the flame exploded! Fly away like fallen leaves So only the wind is very strong! And the onlookers roared! Falling down. His Majesty took control of the fire in an instant.”
“Oh My God······. God helped No, no! So, were we the only Dukes who were attacked?”
what?
– Dumpling!
Kristel pushed the doorknob vigorously. The huge wooden gate did not even move.
She tilted her head. The servants on the other side let out a suffocating sound.
– Whoops!
“Can you open this? I think I’m locked out!”
bang bang. A slender fist knocked on the door. But the hallway was as quiet as a mouse.
I intentionally shut my mouth. Kristel’s head suddenly became cold.
I hope it was locked up…
“Miss Christelle, good night. I’m sorry, but I locked the door.”
An old voice rang in my ears. It wasn’t the voice he had been chatting with before.
Kristel gritted her teeth at the reasoning that had become a fact.
Currently, he was locked up in the lord’s castle without knowing the English language.
“Isn’t that the valet grandpa? Why did you lock the door? Father. I’m here to see my father.”
“I know. My father only suffered minor burns, but he is safe.”
“No, I heard you were in critical condition.”
“Until the imperial family secures Prince Jesse’s recruits and completes the investigation, the duke has ordered you to stay in the bedroom even if you are frustrated.”
“yes? Investigation?”
Kristel frowned.
The last mate she saw was as good and beautiful as usual.
Nothing would happen to him and he had to.
But before I could hear the answer, an ominous sensation ran up my spine.
The old man’s calm explanation followed.
*
“It is very late. Sorry, you two.”
“no. It was quite expected.”
Benjamin shuddered at my apology. Canael said it was all right.
Thank you for saying that, but it was clearly my fault that the morning departure schedule was delayed until 6 o’clock.
After playing hide-and-seek with the kids, eating a slightly squishy but delicious cake, and receiving confessions from children who had been child soldiers, the sun was already setting.
It was already dark before my eyes as to what to apologize to our little duke.
I arrived at the Imperial Palace tonight, got a good night’s sleep, and I was planning to meet Eva early tomorrow, but everything went wrong.
While I prepared my words of apology, the baron’s hands loaded the wagon.
“You have made precious time for those who have nowhere to go, Your Majesty. Even Duchess Eva will understand.”
Said Sir John, who looked inside me. looks like a ghost
“·······It is a short volunteer activity. I only did one day, huh?”
I answered and looked back.
The baroness family who came to see us off were looking at us.
“They do it every day, non-stop. I want to ask Your Majesty for help.”
“Good idea.”
The paladin responded softly. That was then.
– Beep!
The courageous wept loudly and dug into my arms. Tite wrapped her fins around him.
Demi under her feet raised her tail. What is it?
-·······Multiple, multi-faceted, multi-faceted!
“Hey! Hey!”
– Hehehe!
In one corner, all eyes turned to the entrance of Yeongjuseong.
A couple of knights on horseback were rushing to this side, raising dust.
Sir John stood in my way with a gentle breeze like a breeze.
I lifted my claws and straightened my neck. Wait, that’s…
“Second sword!”
A familiar voice resounded from the front.
Then, the people who seemed to be one or two spread out sideways like a fan.
It was such an orderly movement that it was creepy.
I immediately recognized their captain and symbol. The eyes slowly widened.
“Why is Sir Herve Duhem here?”
“score.”
The paladin protecting me murmured. Did you come so much? why?
– Hehe!
“Wow! woah!”
The guards did not get off their horses, but surrounded us in a circle in an instant.
I reflexively picked up Demi and put it in my arms.
Canael and Benjamin cling to my back, and the baron’s family held their breath and hugged each other.
The atmosphere was not serious. Everyone’s eyes are so bloody…
“Prince Jesse Penetian.”
flinched I swallowed dry saliva and looked up at Sir Duem.
The warmth in his familiar pale pink eyes was not as warm as his nails.
“You are being charged with conspiracy to revolt with a teacher of terrorism and attempted murder by the royal family. I will arrest you in the name of the Imperial Guard and deprive you of your freedom.”
······what?
هخخخ يا ولاد الكلب 🥲
ليه ما تسيبوش جيسي في حالة 😂😭😭
