097 The Royal Strikes Back (2)
The breathing sounds of the sleeping gods spread evenly.
Ether also began to circle around the boy’s body softly.
“I was surprised that it was much bigger than the Countess thought. It was a bit disappointing that I was in such a hurry. I guess I didn’t greet Sir Michelle properly.”
Prince Jesse babbled.
‘Sadie’ left him on the other side of the table no matter what he said.
It’s not an annoying tone to listen to, and now I’m in a position I feel sorry for.
It was true that there was a shortage of pure ether all day.
The prince only took on a youthful appearance to ensure a smooth supply.
“Still, they said they liked the housewarming gift. Good luck.”
And the effect was better than expected.
The royal priest looked down on his golden sanctuary and smiled softly.
You can’t raise your voice or get angry at a child.
Even the current prince knew his true identity.
I wondered how long the ‘pretending not to know’, which is not funny, would last.
The idea of a housewarming gift was also amazing.
If you wanted to congratulate the ball, you had to give it a bounty.
Why does a member of the royal family think like a must-have on the streets?
“Thanks to Sir Michelle Eva is doing well. Lord Haines was well healed.”
At his words, Sadie frowned and warned.
“Sir Johann Haynes, keep your distance.”
The prince blinked his blessed eyes with a slightly startled expression.
“why? What happened?”
“…you are hard to believe.”
Sadie spoke up there and shut her mouth.
The scene he saw at the opera house that day was certain.
However, there was no evidence to investigate the paladin alone, and the situation was also not good.
The teacher was a patient who was injured while trying to protect the prince, and after he fully recovered, he was favored by the prince and Princess Sarnez.
Besides, when he entered the palace, he had already passed Daemo-nim’s internal examination (內査).

On the paperwork, there was nothing to contend with.
That’s why I asked for information about the borderless martyr through Elizabeth.
If she had kept the borders of land and sea and was in frequent contact with Shin-guk, she might have gotten new intelligence.
“I was skeptical of Sir Haynes at first too.”
The prince ran out of luck. This was surprising.
“But these days, you seem like a good person. She takes good care of Princess Sant and Sarnez, and is kind to the gods and her servants.”
…and I didn’t like it either. Can’t you guess he was wearing a mask?
“Not everyone is like you.”
Sadie replied. It would have been difficult to make such an assumption in that castle.
To the prince, Sir Haines was the benefactor who saved his life.
He replied with a small smile as to how he interpreted the boy’s words.
“You even touched my teacup once. I’ll check to see if there’s any poison.”
“What?”
The little boy’s eyes lit up in an instant.
“I will send you back soon.”
Then the purple eyes widened.
“It has been a month already. If I poisoned it like that, I would have died sooner.”
“To be checked.”
He commanded like a child was shooting. The prince nodded with a face that he couldn’t win.
It was annoying that he tried to trust other people rather than question them, and that he was always gentle with them.
“Would you like some hot milk?”
The prince got up from his seat and asked. That attitude was the problem.
If Sir Haines, who doesn’t know what he’s up to, would you treat him the same way?
Angry words flowed out in frustration.
“You act like a nanny.”
“Did you have a nanny?”
But the prince didn’t seem to have suffered even the slightest blow. Rather, he seemed to be holding back his laughter.
‘Isn’t it strange that there isn’t one?’ A murmur was heard.
He took the kettle, which had been kept warm by candlelight, poured milk into an empty glass and stirred in honey.
Hot milk to drink at night. I haven’t written a script since I was nine.
for a moment.
“You mean you didn’t have a nanny?”
The child narrowed his eyes and asked. The prince had a look on his face at that moment.
He smiled bitterly and returned to the table with a glass.
Sadie just clicked inwardly.
I heard rumors that the prince had been hated by Bernard Guk-seo from the time he was born, and that he was not treated properly in the new country.
But I can’t believe that I would have grown up without a nanny.
“That, um. Fleur de Lys.”
The prince who sat on his seat changed the subject.
His gaze trembled shallowly, perhaps because the changed subject was also not comfortable.
Sadie let out a long breath through the tip of her nose.
It was because the prince, who had been watching his face all the time after hearing the nonsense of an old woman in front of the trading post, was overlapping.
He seemed to be trying not to show others, but he couldn’t hide his feelings of gratitude or worry at all.
From the moment the kid first met the prince.
“Would you be satisfied if we exiled all the fortune tellers of the zodiac?”
“No, why are you trying to make the unemployed?”
He quickly shook his head.
“Just curious. I can’t see any related records, but I’ve heard that sorcerers’ prophecies are sometimes overturned.”
“Forecast death at a specific point in time, and if the person does not die at that time, change or cancel it.”
He was asking about the ‘Fleur de Lis’, a wizard advisory group, but it was clear that the prince was curious.
He couldn’t just pass on the story of his being predicted to die.
Pain ran across his white face as he got the answer. It’s not my job.
“It’s irresponsible. So what about those who have been hurt by the prophecy?”
“They just do their job.”
Sadie answered and got up from her seat.
All of a sudden, golden grains were rising from the small body.
The boy stared at the milk in front of him for a moment, then without hesitation he raised the glass and emptied it.
Fleur de Lys’ prediction accuracy reached 80%.
“And I survived.”
The prince was the equivalent of 20 percent. It was enough to make the unpleasant truths a lie.
Shinju is capricious, but his flame may not have been an ominous force.
He strode towards the balcony.
It was time to go back.

The little boy with a lot of milk on his lips left, and the next day was bright.
The summer gardens of Juliet’s Palace were bustling with guests. It was right after Sir Haynes’s class was over.
Prince Sedric has been busy with work and has not been able to see his nose since morning.
“Sir Elizabeth, would you like it?”
“Yes, I am happy. I thought it was a miracle just to be alive after the annual prayer meeting, but to receive a reward vacation…”
To Kristel’s words, Sir Elizabeth answered with a sullen face.
Canael, who was sitting next to him, also congratulated him, and Benjamin smiled kindly and poured Cydr into her glass.
It was very rare for her to drink in the Imperial Palace in broad daylight like this.
Yesterday, he was the commander of the Imperial Guard, but today it was possible because he entered the palace as Count Mutte So.
“I heard about it in advance, but when I actually went there, the size of the prayer meeting was huge. It’s late, but you did a great job, Sir Elizabeth.”
I also said goodbye
I remember when she was assigned to guard the annual prayer meeting at the Summer Palace.
It was because of the hijacking of a pirate ship led by Kristel.
‘Elizabeth, I leave the security of the event to you. That’s your punishment.’
‘Your Majesty, please kill me.’
There was a reason that Sir Elizabeth’s reaction at that time was unusual.
The annual prayer meeting was the first time Count Soh challenged himself to stand alone without the help of Captain Duem.
I knew that the mission of the Imperial Guard, which had to escort Cardinal Boutier, the prince, and myself in the middle of the imperial capital, was huge.
However, he did not know that he had to control the conflict with the Imperial Guard in charge of the central temple guard.
It turned out that the guards and garrison had a strange relationship with each other even in peacetime.
She had to be careful not to create unnecessary friction between her soldiers.
“Thank you, Prince.”
“Have you made any vacation plans?”
I asked. Sir Elizabeth was a capable knight and excellent leadership.
It was a great achievement that the event ended without any injuries among the 2,000 bishops.
The next day, yesterday, I was also saddened to go to work in uniform, but the emperor said that from today onward, the emperor took a week-long vacation.
It was fortunate.
“For a few days, I plan to rest at the Earl’s house. And next week…”
“There is a polo match of the Marquis Duem. Even Sir Elizabeth has a ticket!”
Kristel’s blue-grey eyes twinkled. A strange feeling ran through his spine.
Sir Haynes, who had been listening quietly, opened his mouth.
“If you’re a marquis, you mean the one who was in charge of the Prince’s duel? You seem to be very interested in sports.”
“I do, but this time I am participating myself.”
Sir Elizabeth answered. I immediately asked.
“Are you participating as a rescue team like you did during the Great Beast Subjugation?”
“no. My uncle likes polo. When I get to the capital, I play matches with close aristocrats every morning.
It seems that the person who was in the early soccer club decided to start a club altogether.
I shook my head and fell in thought.
The voices of the five men and women faded away, and Sant was seen playing with the divine beasts among the trees in the distance.
The events of the Empire are all running, taking care of the territory, enjoying social activities and sports, and inventing them from time to time.
Yes, the great man who even invented it was Marquis François Duhem.
‘Now I am making a crystal plate (水晶板).’
‘They said they would put a human face on a large crystal plate.’
A new invention of the Marquis, which Sir Elizabeth had described yesterday, came to mind.
It was definitely something that would play the role of an electric billboard or screen in the worldview of Toegye Gong.
The reason I’m sure was simple.

One day, it was because Jung Eun-seo, who was rolling on the sofa and glowing, was so intense.
‘Kiss me!’
‘It’s a surprise.’
‘Wow, crazy. really did it What do you do, brother? Our kids were filmed on a kiss cam, and they really did lip headbutts.’
At that time, I couldn’t understand the words ‘I was filmed on a kiss cam’.
Toegye Gong was a medieval European fantasy with knights and princesses just looking at the cover.
But, is there such a thing as a baseball field camera grabbing a couple in the audience and inducing a kiss?
‘Are you watching dramas?’
‘No, I see my kids. But yes, the west kisses Chris. evil! Everyone else is watching.’
It was.
The point was that Prince Jesse, not the prince, would kiss Kristel.
I didn’t know if it was okay for Eunseo’s ‘I can’t read because I love it so much’ or ‘sub male lead’ was okay to kiss the main character.
Even if Kristel in the original was managing the fishing grounds between the two men, it didn’t matter.
The kiss time in question is… It will begin with the Marquis Duhem unveiling the finished modified version of his polo match.
“Oh, I feel bad.”
“Prince, why are you like this?”
Canael responded to my self-talk.
I drank some cool lemon tea and waved my hand to signify that it was okay.
Kristel looked at me and smiled brightly.
“·················ogue.”
It really wasn’t. We are friends.
I don’t want to and shouldn’t do it, but I can’t kiss even if I die.
As naturally as possible, he turned his gaze back to the gods.
Christel’s first kiss was the prince, not the prince.
And, as far as I know, the prince who witnesses the kiss of the prince and Kristel becomes jealous for the first time in his life.
It was an opportunity to understand his own heart.
hat guy. If you don’t have stimulation, you can’t wake up, so Jeong Eun-seo curses you every day.
“Whoa.”
It was fine though.
I didn’t know that the Marquis’ kiss cam debut would be this quick, but yesterday, after hearing the story of Sir Elizabeth, there was a plan in advance.
I gently pressed my chest. I felt the touch of a square notebook and a crystal bell.
“I.”
I opened my mouth.
Those who were talking about naturalization stopped talking and looked at me at the same time.
“I want to go see the Marquis’s polo game. If I tell His Majesty the Cardinal, will you send it to me?”
Perhaps today was the first time I said I wanted to go out of the Imperial Palace.

That evening. A gentle breeze blew in the cardinal’s office.
“So, I asked for a cardinal to be dispatched to examine the appointment of a paladin. Since it’s a matter of appointment and nothing else, the Vatican’s response will be quick. The cardinals will arrive here as early as next week.”
“okay.”
Johann Haynes replied softly.
The corners of his eyes are drooping and the corners of his mouth are raised, giving him a mild impression, but there was a strangely cool corner in his mint-colored eyes.
However, if the paladin did not have a sword inside, that would be absurd.
They were born that way. Aurelie Butier looked at him for a moment and continued.
“Can I finish my education by then?”
“of course. As I said, it wouldn’t be surprising if the two of you were promoted to the rank of bishop right away. Attitude education and vessel cultivation can be continued even after taking office.”
Satisfied with the answer, the cardinal smiled like a picture.
John looked at her and revised the ‘plan’ in his head.
