065 Northern Territory (2)
In the distant sea, a ship was floating. Because of the distance, the mark of the flag was hard to see.
However, it was certain that the sound of cannons was coming from there.
“Withdraw all Yeongji-min from the beach. Bring only your valuables and evacuate to the countess!”
“I see, Count So!”
The knights seemed accustomed to this situation.
Few people were surprised by the word ‘pirates’, but their ranks and eyes became more solid.
Kristel looked at the martyr’s swords moving in harmony and calmly called Elizabeth.
“Sir Elizabeth, I will help.”
“I would appreciate it if you would, Princess.”
Count Soh rolled his gray eyes and smiled. It was the same conversation as usual.
Whether she had dealt with many pirates, there was no urgency or impatience in her attitude.
It just felt a little calmer.
“Please also call Mr. John and the priest. You might need help.”
Christel said. Elizabeth nodded quickly.
“Tell me the princess’s words. Gabriel, you go!”
“Yes, Count So!”
The knight designated as the messenger quickly drove the horse to the count.
Kristel looked at his back and thought.
‘Johann Haines’ was a paladin teacher for her and Prince Cedric, dispatched by the Holy See.
He was a man who had no motivation to do everything and was bothered to eat, but he would not be a great man to sit and watch as his disciple was fighting pirates.
In order to receive the ether, the priest-level priest he brought was also essential.
Compared to Prince Jesse’s pale ether, his ether was at the level of junk food…
better than nothing
Prince Jesse.
Kristel smiled in the sea breeze.
The Prince was one of the two most lively figures here.
I don’t know the exact reason, but it’s a very subjective feeling, so I can’t explain it to myself…
When the prince and prince were by their side, everything around them felt clear and vivid.
The awareness that he is alive is also stronger than ever.
I had similar impressions from Sir Elizabeth and Cardinal Boutier, but I had never met anyone as ‘clear’ as the two.

Of course, the impressions the two men gave were completely different.
The prince and she were in a relationship where they met each other while relieving their anger and stress.
After using as much force as possible to compete with him, the feeling of liberation unique to the paladin came rushing in, and I felt very good.
He was a man with an instinctive rejection, but he was perfect against Dalian.
After a big fight, when you spread out, the feeling of life in your body also increased.
Prince Jesse was a little weird. for example······.
‘Beware of pirates.’
At the time, it was so ridiculous that I laughed. He was a strange person.
He seemed to keep a distance while being kind, and he pretended to be cold even though he was obviously warm.
Like the prince, he had never mixed his hands with himself, and his existence itself exuded incredible vitality.
The whole world was in HD, but I felt like I was living in a world of 4K alone.
Does it feel that way because of his enormous ether?
– Kwaang!
– aaa!
Another cannon sound rang out. This time, a large stream of water sprang up on the shore that was quite close.
While no one was smiling, only Kristel smiled brightly.
It was not Ham Ga-in’s style to focus on incomprehensible phenomena.
She shook off the thoughts of the two handsome men and fixed the indigo whip.
As long as it didn’t cause a lot of trouble to the owner of this body, I was determined to do everything I wanted to do.
And today’s goal is…
‘It’s just a small souvenir.’
‘It’s a good souvenir. I will.’
“I wonder if it can be called a pirate ship’s special souvenir.”
She hummed as she extended her lips.
The dazzling sunlight of early summer was illuminating the white cliffs and the blue sea water.
He had never used his powers this far away, but the background was the sea.
So it was worth doing.

I don’t wonder
Who is Archduke Evelynn and who is Duke Evelynn, honestly, what do you need to know?
There was no interest. It didn’t matter who taught me.
In a yard that is too busy to take care of myself, how can I have the spirit to take care of my in-laws’ cousins?
I got out of the wagon and strode, contemplating the things that really mattered.
Demi, sitting on her shoulder, and two red pandas in her arms, jokingly said, ‘Kee-hee, cutie’.
Benjamin and Canael followed behind with a simple luggage.
“It’s been two years since the detached palace. It will be a fun vacation.”
Emperor Frederic, who was walking ahead, thought it was fun to make fun of me, so the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
From https://noblemtl.com
Only Cardinal Bootier next to him mumbled things like ‘I must have lost my age’ and ‘I’m ashamed of myself’.
In fact, it was the last conscience of the empire.
“It is a family honor to meet you, Prince Jesse.”
“Nice to see you too.”
The Grand Duchess’ Servant, who greeted the Emperor and Cardinals, was also polite to me.
After a couple of hours in the wagon, they arrived at the house of Archduke Evelynn, and when they heard the news, all the servants and servants went outside and stood in a line.
The Grand Duke’s residence boasted a scale worthy of the name ‘Summer Villa’, but there were not many people working there.
As it was the emperor’s villa, where access was strictly restricted, he seemed to manage the number of users as well.
“I have heard of your active role in ‘The Great Subjugation of Beasts’. You will receive infinite blessings from the Lord.”
“I haven’t done much.”
I smiled lightly and looked around the room.
The Summer Villa was an impressive mansion with orange walls and indigo blue roofs.
It was decorated with splendid gold ornaments in several places, and in a large niche, exquisite statues and magical lighting crafted with silver were displayed.
The main gate of the detached palace could be reached through huge stairs on either side, and it looked like the mansion was welcoming guests with its arms outstretched.
In front of the building was a steep lawn and a fountain adorned with all kinds of jewels.
The length of the water seemed to be more than 200m, and the width was wide enough to float a small boat.
“It is a beautiful place.”
“thank you.”
When I admired, the valet bowed in reply.
Unlike the imperial palace where the dignity and authority of the imperial family is felt, the detached palace certainly seemed to be a space focused on recreation.
It was more compact than the Imperial Palace, and the colors were bolder.
It is very cold in winter, but now the cool wind blows and it is refreshing.
It was a little embarrassing to be part of the retreat of the emperor and the cardinals, but when I came to this place, it was a place where I could endure the embarrassment in many ways.
“Duke, hmm. His Majesty Duke Evelynn usually reads on the lawn over there.”
“Are you talking about the peacock?”
“Yes. Because the prince likes to read… I just wanted to recommend a suitable place.”
The waitress bit his lip softly.
Seeing that he was holding back his laughter while referring to Duke Evelynn, it seemed that the ‘Hwangmyeong’ had already been conveyed.
A sigh came out.
To make fun of a prince, a command that is not as dignified as the tears of a chick…
“thank you. Let me show you around the room first.”
“Yes, I will.”
The valet beckoned to the servants of the detached palace.
The emperor and the cardinals did not appear to have gone up to their rooms.
I started walking down the smooth granite stairs with my party.
But why is the peacock ‘sir’? That’s right, since he’s the son of the Grand Duke and the royal family, his majesty is correct.
No, I’m not curious.

“Wow, that’s great. I wish I could live here.”
“Me too, Prince. It’s my first time with Evelynn and I love it.”
– Kiyying!
Me, Canael, and the three red pandas were lying side by side on the mat.
Benjamin smiled softly and poured a cool honeybush tea.
Bright sunlight, cool lawns, and cool shades of trees. A cute companion god with close people.
When I came to the Summer Palace, everything was perfect.
It seemed like it would be just fine to go home after living like this.
The emperor went out hunting to get dinner, and the cardinal accompanied her as if it was natural.
Duke Evelynn, who had left to clear the pirates, said he would be back in a few days.
In this nice private palace, I was really alone.
“But why is Evelynn not allowed outside? Is there any other reason?”
I asked a question that suddenly came to mind.
Then Canael’s golden eyes lit up with a slightly troubled light.
“That’s it, Prince. Well······.”
“Evelynn was originally an imperial estate. It wasn’t long before Evelynn was given the name and became a compartment. It is a land that was specially granted to the Grand Duke, so it is impossible to enter and exit except for close family members and guests.”
“okay.”
Benjamin solved some of my doubts without mentioning the identity of the Archduke Evelynn or the Duke.
Again, he looked great. I shook my head and sat up.
Then he opened the notebook with a peach in one hand and a quill in the other.
“Well, I’m not curious about the Archduke or the Duke.”
“Suddenly?”
Canael was bewildered at the sudden words.
As I quietly held out the peach, Demi came up to me and grabbed my sleeve and began to bite the flesh.
The other two didn’t seem to be interested.
I kept that posture and wrote ‘something really important’ in my notebook.
∙ Sadie and Suspicious Letter
Actually, this was the one that bothered me the most.
Last night, I found a mysterious label among Prince Jesse’s birthday cards.
It was a note sent to ‘Rosna’ by a person named ‘Wishil’, and it was the content of someone from Shinguk asking for my well-being.
It was taken away by Sadie in an instant, but I was able to memorize everything because it was a short text.
Just wondering,
∙ Sadie and Suspicious Letter
– Who is Wisil?
– Is Rosna my middle name?
– What did Sadie do with the letter?
It was . . .
“Worthy, hypocrisy.”
I have spoken word of mouth.
Contrary to what one might have expected, looking at the contents of the note, it seems that there is someone in the New Kingdom who is worried about Prince Jesse.
The way he spoke was somehow not like a lover, and he had a strong sense of family or friends.
I don’t know who the friends are, but there are a few candidates I can guess if it’s a family.
– Who is Wisdom: A friend I do not know, King Christaner, Crown Princess Elissa
I bit the tip of the quill and let it go.
Is there any reason the King would send such a secret letter?
She was in a position to send an official letter to her son whenever she wanted, and there was no need to hide it.
But the Crown Princess…
‘It means that the Crown Princess does not agree with Gukseo.’
‘You are speaking dangerous words.’
Last month, I was reminded of an interview I conducted with Sir Sarah Beliard, editor of Biweekly Lister.
At that time, Sir Beliard clearly said that.
The armed clash between the empire and the new kingdom at the border was at the discretion of Crown Princess Elissa, and Crown Princess Berner and Prince Berner had different opinions.
As soon as the thought reached that point, I frowned.
What if the Crown Princess secretly gave me a connection while avoiding Guk-seo’s eyes?
What if Shin Guk’s siblings aren’t that bad?
“Hmm······.”
It’s a plausible hypothesis, but it’s dangerous to conclude.
In the first place, Lord Beliard said that it was only a rumor, and I could not ignore the possibility that a third party that I could not recall wrote the note.
It was too early to judge that the Crown Princess was on my side, or that there were allies in the new country with only a clue like this.
I lowered my gaze to the next sentence, being careful not to let Demi eat the peach seeds.
Suddenly, I saw Canael who had fallen asleep.
– Is Rosna my middle name?
At the same time, a familiar boy’s voice came to mind.
‘Rosna must be your middle name.’
yes, what I only grumbled inwardly.
There was no way to know this unless Prince Jesse’s family or best friend came to prove it.
Eunseo didn’t even say the middle name of the character ‘Toegye Gong’, and even if it did, I couldn’t remember it.
The conversation that comes to mind when I come here is,
‘Duke of the North. If there are many male candidates in Ropan, you have to choose the Northern Archduke unconditionally.’
‘Can’t the West?’
‘There’s nothing like that in the West, little brother. Is there a Crown Prince, a King, a Northern Grand Duke, and a Ma Thap-ju? I’m going to catch the Northern Prince without asking or questioning.’
‘why? There are many invasions in the North, so it’s dangerous, isn’t it? What if I die at a wedding?’
‘Stop watching Game of Thrones.’
. . . it was. This was the realm of the ‘Great Prince’ in the ‘Northern’ of the ‘Ropan’ worldview!
I straightened my sagging posture back and forth.
Benjamin, who was putting the meringue cookie in his mouth, was startled.
It wasn’t really a question. However, my right hand began to move with one stroke as if it had been pierced by Jung Eun-seo’s group.
∙ Characteristics of the Northern Prince
– Silence
– serious
– handsome
– Don’t wear fur (maybe not in summer)
– cold
– Warmth to your lover?
“·········· I don’t know at all, but it is good.”
I murmured.
Are there any similar ones? In this way, the prince will also be the Grand Duke of the North.
