Black Prince (1)
I······.
“Angel! are you okay? I was worried about you coming down late!”
“Oh my God, blood from the throat! Titania! Do you have any cotton cloths?”
“What is this! Did you fall for the Viscount?!”
“·················ogue.”
When I came down to the village of Honing, led by the soldiers, the white-stained villagers welcomed me.
I blankly accepted their help. Rough wet wipes moved over the skin.
Joanner wrapped an old piece of cloth around the wound to stop the bleeding.
He couldn’t easily get out of his mind even with his ferocious hand tying the laces.
It was only when Khun, who was startled, wept and hung on his waist, opened his eyes.
When I looked up stupidly, I could see my surroundings.
“······· Protect all directions! If anything goes wrong, report it immediately!”
“All right!”
A torch that lit up the darkness. The imperial soldiers rushing around.
Wizards in familiar costumes. The crowds and horses gathered in the center of the village were in sight.
The sound echoed in the eardrums one beat later. ‘aaah!’ The shouts and screams that cut through the mountains.
The sound of spears hitting each other and fireworks.
– Whoops!
The Crown Prince was in the middle of the battlefield.
“Angel?”
“ah······. it’s okay. It’s just a scratch.”
In ‘The Wisdom of Mars’. To the new thing he pulled out of the field himself.
“It’s just a scratch! Do not release it until the bleeding stops.”
I was there that day too.
“Yes I will. Thank you everyone.”
He doesn’t know me anymore.
“Angel, are you sick?”
“No, I didn’t bleed a lot.”
I wiped Kun’s forehead and smiled faintly.
The villagers looked at me with worried eyes, but were delighted that the operation seemed to have been successful.
The situation was not over yet, but everyone was more relaxed and wept.
It was a natural reaction, at first glance, as the Imperial Army was dazed for fear of being counterattacked by Viscount Trosart.
Everyone is one step closer to life.
“Hey there, angel. I thought it was an angel thing, so I brought it.”
Then, Fino looked at me and handed me something.
I turned my head involuntarily and then shivered.
My heart was pounding and my mouth was wide open. It’s my bag!
“thank you! Wow, thank you so much! No, why is this…”
I groped my whole body like a fool. Of course, now I don’t have a suitcase.
Have you finally gone crazy, Jesse Jung! When the hell did you drop it?
Even when we all knocked down the rainwater tank and ran, I remembered confirming the growth and the existence of the burden.
So it was after that the bag fell from me. How did the large joint happen to be this important?
“Here, look here…. Shoulder straps are off. The top of the bag was also slightly torn. I feel like I’ve improved a lot because I’ve been living in a rough place.”
Fino pointed all over the place with a sad face.
It must have been that he tripped over a stone beak and his bag was thrown together.
It was a precious item that Canael made every now and then, but when I saw that it was covered with dirt and got hurt, I was moved to tears.
And sorry.
“······thank you.”
I carefully took the bag and bowed my head.
The man was reluctant to do so, but he really wanted to convey his heart.
Fortunately, all of my belongings were unharmed. I checked it three times to be sure.
Seeing that the bag had become worn out, a resident got the soldier’s permission and entered the house later.
Then he returned in search of a large straw backpack.
“Angel, put it here. It’s big, so you can put it in your bag.”
“·················ogue.”
“You cherish it, don’t you? Then don’t throw it away and go with it. It was used by my husband and it is still strong.”
“It would be nice to fix it with sewing, but that’s the way things are…”
Everyone looked at me and felt sorry for me. I tried to raise the corners of my lips, wondering if my expression was very bad.
‘thank you so much.’ He created a voice that could be easily heard.
Kuhn looked at my complexion and pulled out the courage from his arms and handed it to me.
The wren was still asleep, unaware.
It really made me laugh when I saw him wrapped his body with a handkerchief with a hole in it.
Everyone is there for and helping me like this, but I only wanted to think brightly.
In the end, I wanted to believe that everything would be fine.
To do that, I had to work hard.
“Yo Honor-sama, did you have any sunflower seeds?”
I’ll have to get it first to reduce my cooldown.
If my memory is correct, I got and drank Herit’s herbal tea for three days before recovering the ether.
And this was the land adjacent to the border.
In the meantime, I listened intently to learn, and said that Haemmouricho is mainly grown in the borderlands of the two countries.
It was because there were many priests who were buried there during the terrible war era.
Although not widely known, Haemuricho and Seongseok grew up eating ether from the ashes of the priest.
There was no time to dry and make tea, so I had to eat raw grass as soon as possible.
“that is.”
Joaner scratched the back of the head. A look of embarrassment crossed his expressionless face.
“I looked around to see if there was even a single root left in the warehouse, but it seems to have been sold out during the drought this spring.”
“······okay.”
“sorry. Sunflower plants are so precious that even we cannot stock them.”
“No, no. I am in a position to be indebted to. Thanks for looking.”
Honing is a poor village that sells anything for the price of children’s bread.
It is a land of people who set sail to a faraway foreign country to put their children’s lives on the line.
No matter how much I looked around, it was not an environment to keep valuable medicinal herbs like Sunflowers.
Sir John, didn’t you work hard for a long time to earn the price of Herit’s medicine?
I thought it was too short.
I hugged the backpack and the courage, trying not to show nervousness.
What do we do? How can I tell Prince Sedric that I am me?
“For now, let’s all spend the night in the square! Escort is easy when you are together. Provide drinking water and food. It’s dangerous, so don’t ever go out of town, and the soldiers will stand there, so take a break!”
“Thank you, thank you!”
An imperial army knight loudly announced. Residents shook their heads in anger.
My country was no exception. When I lay flat and looked around, everything seemed new.
The soldiers stationed in Honing were busily building barracks and lighting bonfires here and there.
I cocked my head and rolled my eyes.
“All lesser battle wizards assemble!”
“Yes!”
Those in light armor rushed to one place.
Some looked exhausted, and others still looked bubbly.
But in common, everyone was concentrating on their work.
There was no one to play, no one to wander.

On the other side, the first barracks were revealing their skeletons.
“The bed is horizontal, right? Arrange in 3 rows! Secure a passage for the Saisai priest to go in and out!”
“Yes, boss!”
“Shall we sculpt?”
“No, let’s start with the cold preservation magic—”
It was not a place for the prince or his superiors to stay, but a ward for the wounded.
I stared down at the dirt on my palms.
Six days after waking up, the Aether was still silent.
How long will it take to recover if there is no halibut?
I thought that I had grown a bit this time, but it was too much for my bowl.
“·················ogue.”
I clenched my fists and sighed. I hope you get your strength back soon.
*
The first morning of August. it was dawning Mount Trosart was stained red with blood and morning glow.
– Whoop!
“Ahhh!”
-Kagang, Kagagang, Seogung!
“aaah!”
In the past few days, Viscount Fin Trosart’s resistance has been fierce.
Among his army, three bishop-level paladins were mixed.
Thanks to the priests who received combat training, there was no shortage of ether.
In the end, the imperial paladin had to take the lead and take off the gloves.
The soldiers who received secret orders fought by pouring salt vinegar and sulfur powder into the enemy camp.
Cedric waited for the right moment.
The man’s transparent holy stone necklace swayed under his shirt.
At one time, it was the most beautiful piece of jewelery in the Imperial Palace.
But now it was cracked and empty.
It was an ice cut.
‘It is now, Your Majesty!’
– Exactly!
The noble one snapped his finger,
– Hurricane-!
– Aww!
‘aaah!’
‘Lord God!’
A third of the New Guild Army died on the spot. It was the morning of the second day.
– Hee hee hee hee!
“Hey, ha!”
“I will pay the price for insulting the Empire and dropping the moon!”
-visor! visor! Chae Chae-chan!
and currently.
Even the seasoned knights were thirsty, and the excited warhorses raised their front paws with all their might.
‘Kagagak! Kigging!’ The sword and the sword collided, scattering bright light.
‘Pooh!’ ‘Keoheuk!’ There was blood on his son-in-law and the smell of burning corpses vibrated.
Screams and noises, fears and tremors engulfed the battlefield for three days.
Smoke rose into the sky and body fluids poured down.
There were more corpses than stones at their feet.
The fresh green of summer was covered in a harsh red color. It was truly a hellish sight.
There was a reason why the emperor resisted his son’s campaign until the very end.
This was the reason why Aurelie Butier dried her son with tears.
“·················ogue.”
But Cedric Lister was not shaken.
There was no light in his eyes already, so there was no surprise in the darkness.
Red blood dripped from his white cheeks.
The man quietly sat on the saddle and looked at the battlefield.
Then he lifted his right hand, brushing off the flesh on the sword.
‘Sasaeaeek!’ The spears hovering in his sky were aimed in one direction at once.
The magic swordsman’s air strike weapons did not discriminate between the Imperial and Shinguk-made.
At the end of the day in the morning sunlight, a dark red liquid dripped down.
It belonged to the dead.
“Heh heh!”
“No, no, no, no, no…!”
“It’s an air raid! retreat! retreat!”
“no! Protect your Viscount! Cover the Viscount!”
A desperate command cut through the air.
The last warriors escorted Viscount Trosart in a circle.
Some of the knights, who had been contemplating, began to run away, limping.
Some soldiers burst into tears and threw away their weapons and fell to their knees.
Those who surrender are accepted immediately, so this was your last chance if you wanted to live.
“Those who run away are only cursed by the Lord! The Lord will punish you!”
It was a shattering voice. Blood and saliva spattered from the Viscount’s mouth, warning him.
But the battle was at an end. All the priests who would open the sanctuary were captured by the Empire.
The Viscount himself was a bishop-level priest, but he was also on the verge of fainting due to exhausting the ether.
Half of the paladins were killed or maimed, and the other half were taken prisoner.
Now they had no shield. no-
From https://noblemtl.com
Only the shield could not block the blood of the Sword Master.
The orange eyes seemed to have been shot by a murderer.
-Swish, swish, swish, swish!
“Stop it! Everyone raise your shield! Ahhh!”
“Sir! Bow down!”
– Awesome!
The long cutlery flew in without stopping.
‘Long live the Penetian New Kingdom!’ The knights shouted evil and raised their swords, spears, and shields.
It was useless.
– Whoops, whoops! Whoops! Whoops!
“Kuh-huh…!”
For a moment it seemed as if time had stopped.
They kept the last posture of their life like a sculpture.
Beyond the iron pierced by the blade, until blood spurts out and everything collapses.
“Ugh. Ugh…”
“Hey, heh heh… Cool, your own…”
-dump! Fluffy, bouncing!
The knights fell to the floor one after another. And never moved again.
Jinhyeong, who drew a circle with the owner in the center, was now creating a round puddle of blood.
Tung, Teng! Shields that were pierced like a blanket were scattered here and there.
The man standing in the center of them began to tremble.
He rolled his eyes in disbelief and looked up.
“haha······. How…”
An imperial dagger with a cheap handle was floating in the air, aiming for the young man’s forehead.
Blood dripped from his bitten lips. The Viscount raised both hands very slowly.
It was a face that was intricately intertwined with anger and shame, suffering and disappointment.
-dump!
and knelt down At the same time, thunderous cheers poured out.
“Wow-!”
“I won! won! I won!”
“Long live His Majesty the Crown Prince!”
“Long live Lister!”
‘hurray! hurray! hurray!’ The soldiers raised their arms and cheered.
Although this was not their first battle, it was clear that it was one of the most fierce battles to count.
The savvy and advanced wizards put the etheric restraints on the Viscount.
Clap clang, clink! Those who shouted as they threw their swords to the ground, and those who clashed with spears in celebration were mixed together.
All of the Imperial Army embraced and fired a shout.
Most people wept for the joy of survival and victory.
The knight Duot, who was taking care of the prince, drove out on horseback and began to clear the battlefield.
– Whirlik!
The dagger wrapped around Chuck and Sedric’s grip.
He was alone in the whirlpool of emotions that resonated in heaven and earth.
I didn’t feel anything. I didn’t want to feel anything.
‘Don’t just think on the sad side. The prince… You’re not going that way. You know. Even if no one else knew it, didn’t you know it with me?’
‘Calm down, really! Why are you pushing all of them out because even if you work harder, it won’t be enough!’
‘You’d better hit me! If you fight like you did back then, you’ll feel cool!’
‘You stupid bastard!’
Kristel Langbuye, swearing at him, left for the sea.
He even left a warning to not even think about nonsense because he’ll be back.
It was blasphemous, unpleasant, and vulgar, and therefore deserved to be treated as a treason.
It was the only moment Cedric felt a surge of emotion since ‘The Day’.
However, he ended up not responding. What does that mean?
“majesty.”
“·················ogue.”
He has received enough education to become a good monarch.
I will not neglect learning in the future. Duty will be faithfully performed.
That was enough. No further stimulation was needed.
All he wanted was revenge.
“Your Majesty, this is an emergency message from the Imperial Palace.”
“what?”
He turned his head and asked sternly. Suddenly, the background of the prince was chaotic.
Those with flags on their backs were holding their breath.
Judging by the white, dusty armor, it looked like it had crossed the desert without a break.
“There is a message from His Majesty the Cardinal. ‘Dear child. The gods have woken up It feels like a gift from us.’”
“·················ogue.”
“That is all. Cool!”
The knight bowed politely and took a step back. The prince stared at the day moon without a word.
Strangely, the face of the man I saw in the forest flashed before my eyes.
It was very brief.
