What Happens When the Second Male Lead Powers Up chapter 339

Golden Ring (錦還), Solar Eclipse (1)

back to the forefront. Near the ‘Reverse Dungeon’ in the Trosart Mountains.

-Kooung…! Kuwoong…! Kuwoong…!

A golem as gigantic as any other garden was moving like a marionette under the control of someone.

The gait that traversed the ridge was calm, not like a monster.

Every time it moved, the ground vibrated like it was going to explode, and dirt and gravel spattered.

Although the road was used by people, it was impossible to prevent old trees from falling down and rocks breaking. ‘Wow! Quad Duk!’

Surprised wild animals often flew up or soared from all over the bushes. ‘aaah-!’ ‘Food Duck Food Duck!’

– Boss Rock, Boss Rock!

“·················ogue.”

Sedric looked at the deer hurriedly running away and thought of someone.

For the past few days, the man’s condition has been excellent.

Like the Winite River flowing through the continent infinitely, clear ether filled his vessel.

There was a pile of holy stones shining with golden energy in the barracks.

His partner promised to keep sending Aether even after he left for the Empire.

This one did not ask for it, but it would be recommended first.

The Crown Prince no longer suffered from insomnia or nightmares.

Little by little, I went to bed early, and this morning I slept 7 minutes late.

It was rare even in Romero Palace.

‘Your Majesty, you did not leave any meals for yesterday and today.’

David, who was serving the plate, said quietly.

Sedric found traces of laughter on the dull face of a middle-aged man.

‘Come on, I’m sorry, but I feel like my cheeks are starting to stick again, so I’m not happy with it.’

‘··········.’

‘It is a change to be truly grateful for.’

There was no anxiety as the Marquis left for the Kofun Empire.

It was a pity that I didn’t ask enough questions, but now it’s an exhibition.

Later, when the war was over, there would be an opportunity to gather together.

Mother must have given him a proper justification and sent him back to the Imperial Palace.

Cedric decided to be satisfied at this level.

The Marquis returned to the Empire, and it wasn’t bad that I was included in the reason for that decision.

He was also satisfied with the fact that he was under the strict security of Johann Haynes.

. . . Sensei’s method is unpleasant.

“To the left, a little more! No, you have to stick with it!”

The clutter was quickly forgotten.

There was too much noise here, and there were a lot of things that demanded his attention.

There was a gun in his eyes shining like garnets.

-thud! woo…

“I got it, baby. Do I have eyes to see?”

When a knight waved his arms and gave instructions, the trafficker Carme Warak wrinkled his face.

She still wore an etheric restraint around her neck, and a mana core in her hand.

In addition, he was under the strict supervision of a senior wizard.

Barely a priest-class paladin and a second-class mage.

Besides, he had no talent in the magic of magic, but it was just in case.

She said that she, who could not even take a simple step, has survived only with her talents, acting skills, and the beauty world.

Excessive confidence seemed to be a boon for her as well.

‘Because I’m on the brink of luck, Your Majesty.’

‘··········.’

‘It is said that he was an illegitimate child of a certain precious family and was abandoned as soon as he was born. Besides, it was good to have a face and a body to sustain life. Oh, and it runs pretty fast.’

‘··········.’

‘I have great eye wit and fine hair, so I have a wonderful memory of being helpful to me. So I got to do what I’m doing now. I work very hard once I get the money. Customer loyalty is sky high.’

‘··········.’

‘Is there anything you want me to do? By the way, I am a person who has no hesitation in becoming the mistress of a noble person.’

At this point, it should have been said that he had gone out of his mind by going beyond the absurd level.

Modest Bacari, who was present at the time, took off his glasses and massaged his temples, so he said it all (he was usually a very low-key person in the vacant seat).

However, Carme’s words, ‘Fortunes are very good,’ were indeed true.

Because Cedric Lister was in a good mood that day, she escaped the tragedy of seeing the hyacinth.

‘Dedicate your golem to the Imperial Army.’

‘··········.’

‘If you do that, you will save your life.’

That was the end.

Even though the young criminal was captured by the Imperial Army, he survived without being touched.

The reason was that she also had a relationship with the village of Honing.

It was said that Carme was the one who looked after them so that they could safely cross the border when the villagers shed tears of blood and sent the sculpture boat loaded with children to the Empire.

He sang a song because he liked the money, and he didn’t get a penny for that kind of thing.

At the same time, she was a human trafficking scum, and a hero who had saved dozens of children from death.

Cedric suddenly remembered her mother’s words.

‘Humans are complex creatures, Sadie. The person who stabbed you in the sword yesterday cuts down the enemy with that sword today.’

‘So you have to be able to look at it for a long time and use it. Do not unconditionally retaliate, and do not tame unconditionally.’

-Quaaang-!

“majesty! We have reached the area of operation!”

The roaring report shook the mountain. Cedric sat on the saddle and tapped his chin.

What lay in front of him was a magnificent and dark cave like a horse tower.

Tree roots and moss were densely wrapped around it, so it was impossible to guess where the entrance to the burrow was and where the forest was.

The cavity was not visible at all, and even though it was facing the front, it gave a dizzying impression like a cliff.

If I stared at it for a long time, I felt like I was being sucked in.

With Sinabro, the perspective of the field of vision collapsed, and the eardrum was suffocated.

-Woo…

“All except the Magical Division retreat 10 steps! Step back!”

“Ten steps back! retreat!”

The wizards who grasped the enormous mana quickly pushed the soldiers back.

‘Wow!’ Some of the general patients complained of nausea or dizziness.

Carme stood up with her wobbly legs and controlled the golem.

All the way, all the way. At that moment, someone’s energy hit the prince’s side.

He didn’t look back.

“Is that ‘reverse dungeon’? The amount of mana is quite substantial.”

It was a manly man’s voice. The sound of chewing sticky candy was annoying.

The young man with strawberry-colored blonde hair and red eyes resembling his great-grandfather was with his younger brother today.

He was one of the commanders of the reinforcements who came to help the prince.

He was predicted to ascend to the throne in place of the once sickly Sedric, and was a whopping 8th-class battle wizard and a famous rebel in the zodiac.

He was a fool in a different field from the dead Robert Blanquer.

‘The Prodigal Son of a Thousand Islands’, Djibril Dioff.

The eldest of the Dukes of Dioff and a human with a history of breaking the marriage three times.

“majesty.”

and his twin sister, Marguerite.

It was the face I met at the Imperial Palace during the last week of Advent.

“…

The prince was greeted briefly. The brothers and sisters were descendants of the imperial family with blood mixed with him.

Unlike her brother, who was addicted to alcohol, Marguerite was a great aristocrat with a good reputation wherever he went.

Although not as strong as Elizabeth or myself, she was also a swordsman who showed excellent skills by inheriting the family’s unique swordsmanship.

Sedric despised Jibril, but respected her as a fellow.

“Your Majesty, I can’t feel the pulsation of the demonic beasts inside the cave! I think it’s God’s grace. If you allow it, we will proceed with the closure as it is.”

“Huh.”

“hey! in action!”

As soon as the prince’s words fell, the knights urged Carme.

‘Queen! Kwaang…!’ As she stirred the manacore, the golem strode out to block the doorway.

I wondered if it was the right size, but the darkness was completely obscured enough to be called luck.

The knights who were wary of the appearance of monsters in the vicinity quickly turned to color.

This saved me a lot of trouble!

“Half a step more! Half a step back!”

– Koo! thud-!

“Knowing the location of the mana core and controlling it……. It is an ability that has never been recorded in the history of the continent. Even if it’s a second grade, if that’s the author’s ‘speciality’, wouldn’t it be worth using?”

Marguerite whispered, and Cedric silently agreed.

“Your uncle, I heard that you gave the ceremonial robe to the marquis. If you don’t consider anything like that, it means you have confidence in your victory.”

“Brother. Please shut up your snout.”

Jibril made useless taunts today as well. The princess immediately urged her brother.

Cedric cleared his mind, completely ignoring him.

Today and tomorrow, I will order the mountain range, send a message to my mother, and lead the army into the field.

There is a majestic canyon along the way, so beware of ambush.

If the wizards were placed in front and checked the airstrikes by themselves, it would have been able to prevent a lot of damage.

I never even considered losing. A few days ago, it became a word that didn’t even exist in his dictionary.

– Bullfighting…!

“Wow!”

“Good! Well done, Carme. Of all the felons I’ve seen, you’re the most capable!”

“Is that an insult or a compliment?”

So, a simple coronation robe was bestowed upon the marquis.

Because the prince had no intention of parting with his mother in this war.

“awesome! How to block the dungeon that evolves the monsters, it was completely dark before my eyes…”

“Is there any other sure way to do this? yes?”

“It’s nice, guys. So am I free now? Can I go back?”

“Dream big, criminal!”

“Uh-huh!”

A cloud of dust rose between the laughter of the knights and the soldiers. It was the beginning of the inland expansion.

*

Eight days have passed since then.

-Multiple, multifaceted…

“Wow, woah.”

The coachman’s voice was heard outside the window, and the horses rolled their hooves a few times and the carriage slowly slowed down.

I reflexively kept my back straight.

I adjusted my clothes, which I had touched many times, combed the back of my hair with my hands, and looked at my face in the mirror Demi pushed.

Her eyes lit up brightly purple when the ether beads were popped out of her fingertips.

It’s still awkward, but you’ll get used to it someday.

We had reached the very depths of the Empire’s territory.

As for how deep-

“I see the Marquis Duhem’s carriage over there. You can also see the Imperial Guard.”

“·················ogue.”

Benjamin pointed out and said calmly.

I creaked and looked through the glass.

A landscape familiar to me caught my eye, with heavy pillars supporting the white roof.

Suddenly, dry saliva fell and my chin trembled.

This was the last public place I visited when I left the Empire.

Before going to the neutral zone, it was the spot where we were subjected to unintentional check-ups by Sir Erbe and his party.

‘Hurry! Do you think yours is the only carriage to look out for?’

‘Oh my, I’m not sure if it’s frozen overnight.’

······The wide-area portal of the eastern ecliptic. A circular space surrounded by a green forest like a folding screen.

“Are you nervous, Marquis?”

Sir John, who was sitting next to him, asked softly. I tried to smile.

“I thought you might not accept it.”

“·················ogue.”

“Of course, if you know that I have ether, you will understand with my head… You can’t expect everyone to be as good as you. They look different.”

“·················ogue.”

“Besides, he is the ‘Prince.’”

– What?

Demi fluttered her ears and tilted her head.

I gasped and brushed his warm stomach. Sant whispered with worried eyes.

“But in the future…. Isn’t that why the Marquis came to play the role of a prince?”

“That is the problem.”

I replied with a sigh. So really, that was the problem.

‘You can’t tell the world that you’re different from Prince Jesse.’

The middle-aged man’s words echoed in his ears like a spell.

The day after I met Emperor Frederic, I had breakfast with her.

Hwang Myung, telling him to take a day off, turned out to be the leeway she had given him.

On the spot, the emperor made a very precarious and difficult proposal to me.

This was, in effect, a declaration and a command. Because I had no other options.

‘Ordinary people cannot afford such chaos. I’m also not familiar with such concepts as ‘another world’. Nevertheless, I was able to accept you because I knew what kind of kid you were. However, the people on the streets are different. They are not your housemates.’

‘··········.’

‘Can criminals who have never seen mana or ether accept you? Will you trust your words and understand everything like flowing water?’

‘·········No, Your Majesty.’

‘So you have to cheat.’

I bit my lip and set the table down. Like a lie, my appetite disappeared and my stomach churned.

The emperor clicked his tongue.

‘If it becomes known that you are different from the prince, Shin-guk will have another cause to attack us. You will begin to mislead even the plain truth that Guk-seo killed you.

‘··········.’

‘Will the enemies made by the Empire stand still? The nobles who were jealous and jealous of you will rise up and ask for your punishment. They will weep to take away the title and send them into exile, and they will force them to be imprisoned in a dungeon for deceiving the royal family. At the very least, it is obvious that the commoners will inflate things by claiming that they coveted the prince’s body. Let go of the illusion that the whole country will unite because of war. I see a future where the entire continent is engulfed in chaos and collapses.’

‘··········.’

‘Your guy has to wear a mask to protect himself. I know you’re making me do things I shouldn’t have done.’

Her cherry-colored eyes darkened like the deep sea.

‘So this is the only fault of Jim.’ Those were the king’s last words.

She knew how I felt and was telling me I didn’t have to.

I am merely following the words of the Higher…

That’s how I advise you to defend yourself.

No, ‘You commanded.’ With that, I was handed the prince’s mask again.

At least, he had to act like that in front of those who didn’t know the circumstances.

“I don’t know if I can confidently lie to you that the body is still there.”

“Marquis.”

“That’s how I look…. I think it will have a bad effect on the children as well.”

Most of all, I felt sorry for the prince. I didn’t want to take his place until he came back.

However, my survival cannot be neglected, so the only remaining option was to steal again.

I closed my eyes tightly and slapped myself for not answering.

Even when I decided on the veranda, I never thought it would turn out like this. like a fool

At that time, I was blinded by the will to meet my friends…

-smart

Startle. I woke up to the sound of a knock on the carriage door.

It was a much smaller and softer noise than the driver’s knock.

Sir John’s eyes met and he folded the corners of his eyes.

“I think you came out to meet me.”

– Profitable…

With those words, the door opened. I made up a sloppy smile.

I don’t know who will be standing outside…

I want to make a good first impression if possible.
