Black Prince (4)
“Oh my gosh.”
Wilhelmina immediately responded warmly. With a supremely sad voice and benevolent tone.
“How much trouble did you have? It is difficult to imagine the shock that a precious person must have been subjected to.”
“okay. Janine was there every time I remember.”
“How can such a tragedy…”
Elissa made eye contact with Duke Sneijder at the right moment.

Ordinary, ordinary eyes stared at me.
It was a look of pity for the wounds of the young man.
The wrinkled eyes were filled with sad feelings one after another.
But it was none other than Wilhelmina herself who had been driving Janine for decades.
It was Iza who watched my every move and thoroughly controlled her.
The Crown Princess miraculously endured the outburst of emotions.
Acting like that was just like my father. So I was able to get used to it.
“It’s because I was careless. I was frivolous as heir to the throne.”
Perhaps it was the Lord’s care, his voice came out without trembling.
Elissa thought her acting wasn’t bad.
As I dealt with an old veteran who is over sixty, I knew that I was lacking.
He wasted his life with both eyes and ears closed.
Even though there were a lot of outside activities, I was like a frog in a well because I grew up with my father and aunts for 30 years.
But now I had to get out.
In order to protect my mother and younger brother, I had to escape the well in order to build even the skeleton of the new kingdom.
It had to be done to appease the soul of Jesse who had died.
“How can you blame yourself? Do not overshadow the virtues of the saints with the sins of the wicked.”
“Thank you for being so comforting.”
break the stone wall. Climb until all your nails fall out.
It’s okay to be covered in blood, so whatever you do.
“·······The day the Crown Prince passes over, our triumph will resound!”
“Wow!”
The shouts of the cardinals and the soldiers continued.
Elissa silently turned her eyes towards him.
“Fire a shout towards the front!”
“aaah-!”

Over the fields, through the valleys, and loud enough to shake the mountain range to its roots, a shout reached out.
Thousands of cheers were as loud as fireworks baptism.
This noise was more than enough to wake up the beasts hiding everywhere.
Those excited like that would easily attack nearby private houses.
It must have been the intended result.
Doing so would endanger even the people of the land occupied by the Imperial Army.
This was not Elissa’s way.
She believed that civilian casualties during war should be kept to a minimum.
But Wilhelmina Sneijder was not merciful to the commoners who surrendered to the enemy.
It was the same with the commanders of the New Kingdom Army.
The Crown Princess clenched her molars.
“If the servant was the Crown Prince of the Empire, then his family should also be questioned.”
The duke spoke carefully. Elissa gave an answer as if waiting.
“I want to borrow your hand for that part.”
“Crying fire!”
“aaa…!”
Against the background of the echoes of the whole field, Wilhelmina looked at me long.
It was her unique, piercing gaze.
The Crown Princess used her eyes as hard as sapphire as a shield.
Right now, I had to give him trust. It shouldn’t be allowed to have even the slightest suspicion.
Whether it was a military training method or whatever, rebuttals and confrontations only made this side difficult.
I still had to be seen as a scarecrow who knew nothing and depended in large part on my father and the Duke of Sneijder.
That way, my mother and brother would be safe.
Until I was able to hold the spear properly, that was right.
“I could order the royal court, but as you know, he is busy looking after His Majesty. By now, you must have wrapped up your hair day and night to thank you for your arms. There are a lot of talented people in the Sneider family, so if possible, I would like to get support from the SS.”
“·······I will do my best, my lord.”
Wilhelmina bowed her head. After all, most of the Royal Guard must have been hers.
Elissa thought as she looked down at the pale crown of the Duke.

Obviously there will be weaknesses.
Even the clergy in remote areas are not without flaws or loopholes for those who treat them like family members.
If a spider’s web is so dense, one of them must be broken.
If you are a person who goes beyond a simple ‘sedo family’ and puts the whole new country in the palm of your hand,
There’s probably a gap between your fingers. All he has to do is find him.
Don’t give up.
“·················ogue.”
“Long live the Crown Princess! hurray!”
“Long live Your Majesty! hurray! hurray!”
Soldiers with their arms chanted madly.
The hot air brushed through Elisha’s forehead.
The Crown Princess turned her head and looked at the distant mountain range.
A large red mountain, Trosart, came into view. He was somewhere over there.
The prince who ran wild at the death of his younger brother and violently shook hands with me.
The one who saves innocent lives by obeying the twilight.
A Shinigami who scatters the ashes of death on every battlefield he visits.
“I will trust you.”
Elissa muttered. Then Wilhelmina bowed even more and was polite.
It wasn’t something she said.

It was the next day.
After that, I couldn’t even get close to the center of the military base, and I’m still dying of shame.
Why does it seem like once a day, when I come here, I get ripped off?
“Angel, Aiko, no. Heineken!”
“············Yes, I go!”
I ran to the tent, rubbing my burning face.
Heineken, why was that the only name that came to mind at that moment?
No matter how few Dutch words I knew, I couldn’t live with embarrassment.
Even if the people here did not know the story, the result was the same.
Rather, he called me ‘Heineken’ with a nonchalant face, and I was twice as shy.
What did a guy who can’t drink even talk to the beer company?
I thought of a pseudonym, but I forgot to mention it, again.
“Did you call me, Fino?”
“Yes. sorry. The stake is shaken here, so I have to drive it again, but it is not easy because the wind is strong.”
“no. I’ll catch you.”
“Thank you, angel.”
Fino said softly. I quickly put the stake between my feet and sat down.
He laughed, saying, ‘You’re very good now.’ It wasn’t wrong, so we smiled together.
He and the residents of Honing often helped with the Imperial Army’s chores, thanks to which they quickly adapted to each other and had a smooth relationship.
Joanor and other village representatives seemed to be frequently called upon by the commanders.
I heard that it provides the necessary information for Lister and helps to bridge cultural differences.
It was necessary since the two countries broke off diplomatic ties for over 30 years.
Kun and Yan, and other kids, were popular among the soldiers these days.
Conversely, the imperial side also carried out repairs of thatched roofs and fences in villages.
Even when the irrigation channel was blocked yesterday, thanks to the help of the wizards, it was quickly cleared.
– Tung! Tuoung! Tung!
Today was a similar situation.
There was a problem with the stakes in the imperial army barracks, and Fino found it while passing by and decided to fix it right away.
He wiped his sweat and swung his hammer.
I thought as I looked at the pillars digging deep into the ground.
-Twowoong! bang!
“·················ogue.”
When will my ether return?
I can’t live without this and me, driving the stakes here like this.
I have to go home someday.
I don’t want to have negative thoughts, but it’s true that my anxiety is growing.
If I can’t regain my strength like this, and my perseverance doesn’t wake up.
If it becomes a situation where all I have is ‘the prince’s memento’…
What should I do then?
Realistically, I have to prepare for such a future, but just thinking about it made me hard and scared.
For now, I just wanted to pretend to be crazy and have a positive mind.
I slept with my head on that side and was afraid that things would really go wrong.
In fact, I meditated every day before going to bed and imagined writing ether while holding my growth.
I thought it would be good if I continued image training.
If I can pull my strength and use it even for a day, anything—
– Hee hee hee hee!
“Wow! Whoa!”
It’s a surprise! I flinched and looked back. Fino was also frightened and his body stiffened.
To add a little lie, a black horse the size of a village hut was raising its front paws.
It’s right in front of us too!
“Huh!”
“Avoid!”
Whoa! Without thinking any further, I grabbed the Fino and rolled it to the side.
All right, all right! A large hoof mark was left where we had just been.
‘Calm down, calm down!’ The knight holding the reins was very confused and was speechless.
At the very least, I almost got hurt by being stung by that leg.
I brushed Fino on the back and groaned like a goldfish.
Crazy, why is Charlemagne here? Where’s her guardian going?!
“Knight! What’s going on!”
Soldiers ran out from the barracks on the other side.
Some who found us asked if we were hurt. I’m fine, thank you!
“I don’t know. It was okay for a walk, but suddenly I got excited—”
– Hehe! hee hee hee hee!
“Ouch!”
Charlemagne couldn’t contain his anger and roared again.
Even if he wasn’t, he was big, but he didn’t listen to people, so he looked scared like some kind of wild beast.
From afar, the stable keeper was busily running.
I checked the situation while packing Fino’s luggage. The article was right.
Charlemagne was a Cheon-Geum Jun-horse, raised in the imperial family from birth.
He received the best training on the continent and always followed his master, Prince Sedric, with confidence.
It was by no means harsh. It was certain that the Aemul complexes were also burned once or twice.
What the hell is the story-
– Hehehe!
“Oh my, it seems like you left your partner behind!”
The stable keeper ripped off his apron and said.
uh? When I looked again, it was Audrey, the stable keeper of the Imperial Palace. You’ve come this far!
It was nice to have a smile on my face.
“What do you mean? Charlemagne grew up alone!”
The knight raised his voice. I was only shocked inside.
Sir, are you a knight? If you speak loudly when you speak loudly!
– Tackle, cackle!
“Be careful!”
– Puff!
At the same time as my warning, the black horse kicked the knight with a raised voice with its hind legs. Oh my gosh!
– Woodang tang woodang tang!
“Oh my God!”
The man’s body flew away, and the pot fell over and the firewood spilled from where he was buried.
Fierce soldiers rushed to him.
In the dusty field, luckily, the knight was standing up on his own.
It didn’t look like he was seriously hurt because he was wearing armor.
After taking a moment to breathe, the crowds who sensed the disturbance began to flock to the road.
It was clear that he was approaching without knowing exactly what was going on.
I blocked the front of Fino and swallowed dry saliva. Wouldn’t that be more dangerous?
– Hehehe! Hee hee hee-!
“Aww!”
It’s dangerous!
As Charlemagne ran rampant in earnest, the soldiers scrambled behind him and fled frantically.
Black, fine-grained tail hair flew in all directions.
There were a lot of whites in his big eyes.
The one he picked was clenched, and his nostrils were wide open.
The high head was held upright.
The ‘body language of words’, which I had studied hard for a while, flashed through my mind.
The contemplative knights stopped their horses and looked back at the stable keeper.
“Anesthesia, bring me an anesthetic needle. hurry.”
“Oh no, that’s not going to happen! The things in the military camp are for high-level witchcraft and are poisonous, Nari. Charlemagne is Your Majesty’s favorite horse. If you use the wrong medicine and get hurt…!”
“But shouldn’t there be more casualties in the war? I’m afraid I’ll run all the way to Your Majesty’s barracks. We need to calm our precious people before they get hurt!”
“But, but but…….”
Tears welled up in Audrey’s eyes.
She was a person who cherished the words of the royal family like a child, and I knew it well, as Amhart’s protector.
No matter how much it was for human safety, it would not be possible to arbitrarily administer a high-level anesthetic for demonic beasts.
I hurriedly got up from my seat and approached her.
Fino made a suffocating sound, but he didn’t care.
Audrey’s eyes widened as she handed the handkerchief. See you again here.
“hello. May I ask what it means to say that the horse has left a mate?”
“That’s it, that’s…”
The woman rolled her feet. My upset heart shone like a river.
“It’s called Arumhart……. There is a saying that I used to share a magic room with that kid. Charlemagne was a picky person, so he couldn’t make friends, but he was strangely close to him. However, the owner of Arumhart…”
‘You couldn’t come with me.’ Audrey finally sobbed and buried her face in her hands.
The handkerchief I was holding so tightly that my fingertips turned white was dripping with color.
I couldn’t help but look back at Charlemagne.
-Heh heh heh heh heh heh!
“Avoid everyone! Don’t stand blankly, take a step back!”
“Yes!”
. . . that was me.
After I died, I left this place without a word, and Reum remained in the Imperial Palace.
Charlemagne, who came out to the distant battlefield, became a loner again.
Even after returning from the walk, there were no friends in the stable.
He must have really hated it. therefore-
“I’ll borrow it for a while.”
I pulled out the horse comb from Audrey’s waist and picked it up.
I remember one day, in a stable, the Crown Prince brushing his horses himself.
The stable keeper stopped me as the flagship. She was now very tired of blue.
it’s okay.
“I’ll talk.”
“Ah, that’s dangerous…!”
– Hehehe!
Diversity, Diversity! I observed Charlemagne kicking in all directions.
The masterless reins were raging like sparks.
Seeing the bloodshot whites flooded me with a familiar feeling of guilt.
As I moved slowly, the knights grabbed my arms.
“Are you crazy? very far back If you do it wrong, you will die!”
“Don’t do anything reckless!”
“Do not worry. He’s a good guy.”
I made my voice as soft as possible towards the black horse.
And I tried to imitate the warmth I heard that day somehow.
‘Charle.’
“Charle.”
-Heh heh…!
“Charle. it’s okay.”
– All right!
Then the black horse stumbled once,
-Pureung, Purreung…
He snorted and shook his mane. Then he bowed his neck.
The corners of his lips drew an arc. The power fell from the hands of the surprised knights.
I slowly got out of their niche.
Suddenly, the distance between my horse and me was only a couple of steps.
I didn’t want to scare you, so I moved as slowly as possible. Charles took a deep breath and looked out for me.
“Charles, you are right… I’ll take you to your room.”
-Fuheung…
“kind. I am not alone anymore.”
‘Until Ah-reum meets, I will be there for you.’ I groaned and took my hand to his cheek.
I could see her long eyelashes fluttering. Still, I didn’t blink too hard.
It was fortunate.
– tok
When the tip of his finger touched, Charlemagne let out a long nose and lowered his neck further.
I finally smiled brightly and hugged him. you recognize me
sorry. I’m sorry, uncle.
“I am so sorry. I don’t think you’ll suffer because of me…”
“Get out of the way! hurry!”
That was then.
Suddenly, the road became noisy, and a middle-aged man with an escort from the other side rushed towards him.
I raised my head twinkly, then doubted my eyes for a moment. It’s ridiculous.
This is really nonsense.
Why did he come all the way here? It’s too dangerous!
“This is it, David!”
The chin automatically popped open. Charles snorted the same as my master.
