Chapter 73 – Royal Capital Gaul (20)
“‘I will protect you’? Ugh. Shrink.”
Azazel, who was walking in front of her, twisted her fingers and made a sarcastic remark.
She looks angry, but she seems to be worried about Arya too.
If you look at the behavior of periodically glancing at it.
“I never thought Sir Einstein would give me such an expression of affection.”
Leon’s words contained sincere surprise.
That’s why it’ll feel more pitiful.
Who can’t express their affection freely?
Einstein frowned.
“Aren’t you interested in other people’s love affairs?”
“It’s not an ordinary person, isn’t it a hero’s love story? Besides, if you’re in a loving relationship with a pretty woman like this, wouldn’t it be strange if you weren’t interested?”
At the teasing remark, Arya lowered her bowed head even more.
It’s not rice, but I wonder how far the hill slopes.
“Ah, compared to Ain, I am a person who lacks a lot.”
It is Aria who opens her mouth with a crawling voice, perhaps because she is despondent.
The fidgeting of her fingers and the avoidance of her gaze made her seem insecure.
“Not.”
“No, sister.”
Einstein and Azazel spoke with an error of about one second.
Leon grinned at their chorus.
“As you saw Miss Arya, don’t they think so? Also, to add my personal opinion, Lord Einstein is blessed enough just to have earned Miss Arya’s favor.”
“Yeah, that can’t be.”
Immediately after the words of denial came out, Einstein bent over her and met Arya’s eyes.
“Aria.”
“Yes Yes?”
“I have never thought of you as a woman lacking. He is an undeserved and precious person to me.”
“… Even if you praise me like that, nothing comes out.”
“Did I lie to you?”
It was Arya, her face flushed.
At that sight, everyone smiled without heat.
The group of warriors descended the dark, musty spiral staircase in a relaxed atmosphere.
They were heading to the basement of the palace.
To explain how things came to be like this, it should be explained from the moment Leon, the main body, regained consciousness.
* * *
The guards who arrived late felt embarrassed and embarrassed.
It was because there were two 2nd princes who were believed to have been attacked.
In order to determine which one is real and which one is fake, it is necessary to bring a palace wizard with you.
It was difficult to make an immediate judgment here.
So, on their part, opinions tended to follow a pattern that had been maintained for a long time.
It’s a form of performing and seeing.
Bertus, a man in a silver helmet, opened his mouth.
“You two, will you be taken safely?”
He is so calm that it can’t be said that he said it after seeing the situation in the corridor.
In a way, it’s even moderate.
Even if you are bound without prior advice, there is nothing to refute.
The atmosphere of the warrior party was dark and stagnant.
Their eyes turned to the doppelganger Leon and the main body Leon.
With the intention of ‘maybe it’s good?’.
The main body, Leon, burst into laughter.
Funny situation, isn’t it?
The prince stood up from his seat after confirming his alter ego.
“I want to do that, but…”
A moderate voice, neither loud nor soft, resounded in the corridor.
By deliberately blurring his words, he drew the attention of the audience to himself.
Leon felt strange in this situation.
That’s right isn’t it
1 When Prince Redinor called me and arrived at the corridor, there was an assassin there.
It is a cause and effect that even a child can understand.
‘I’m sure my older brother will buy it.’
Heaven’s luck struck him and his life was spared.
That’s not what’s important now.
Purple.
Even though the prince was attacked, the only emotions the guards had just expressed were bewilderment and trouble.
Even after washing my eyes, I couldn’t find any feelings of astonishment about the attack.
Even if they were in a state where they had become accustomed to miscellaneous incidents in the palace, that reaction was strange.
Isn’t it the attitude of facing a foreseen event?
‘Did you even get the Royal Guard, brother?’
Was it a rushing moment to bury yourself?
Leon, the main body, saw Edelis, then Einstein, and finally saw another himself.
He felt betrayed by his alter ego.
Even she believed she had left him.
But.
‘I wonder if he was the one whose eyes were blurred.’
It’s ironic.
I had doubts.
But I never thought I would act so blatantly.
… Did you think that you were complacent about being brothers?
Did you covet the seat of power that much?
Enough to harm even blood?
It was a meaningless question, a question for which there was no answer.
Didn’t he kill his foolish self right away?
There is nothing to be shocked about.
Leon closed his eyes and wiped his face with his right hand.
And his blue eyes, which opened again, were too clear.
“I need to be able to trust the sutras.”
A tone of caution.
Guard captain Bertus replied in a businesslike tone.
“What are you talking about?”
“As you can see, I was attacked. I almost became an infamous guest. Fortunately, the one with the same face as mine and a group of warriors rescued me, but what were you guys doing while I was being attacked? With the name of the Royal Guard, they are also swift, right?”
The words came out smoothly and fluently, without stuttering.
To briefly and clearly summarize Leon’s words, he was holding the Royal Guard accountable.
Arya also thought that people who dipped their feet in the political world are different from the words.
“Aren’t you being forced? We are not even omnipotent, so who knows where the attack will happen.”
“It’s a fair word, a fair word. But aren’t the guards to quickly notice the anomaly? How many tens of minutes do you think have elapsed since the incident? It must have been over an hour. Do you think this makes sense? That the elite of the royal family have been stupid all this time? I wonder if they borrowed a scarecrow or a barley sack, not the Royal Guard.”
“You are talking too much.”
“I wonder where the words to those who couldn’t even complete their work while eating green sticks were excessive. Sir Bertus?”
It was a poignant, harsh word.
A red aura appeared on the face of the guards commander.
“I don’t think there’s any reason to even listen to bad slander.”
“I am pointing out Sir’s negligence. Would you claim the right to engage in such a subject? Don’t you feel a sense of wonder that it’s not the same, that it’s not fair?”
“I understand Prince Leon’s anger, but shouldn’t we be aware of the possibility that the gentleman you’re talking about is fake?”
“Even if I’m a fake, isn’t it that your non-existent trust suddenly arises?”
“We are Your Highness’ hands and feet. We have a duty to uncover the scandalous incidents taking place in the royal family.”
“Know. You know well But let me tell you. Aren’t you the arms and legs of your brother, not Your Highness?”
Confrontation was established.
It was a bloody war of words, enough to stab the heart if you went one more inch.
“If you come out with such an uncooperative attitude, we have no choice but to arrest you, even if it is rather tough.”
At that, Einstein responded.
The living flesh spewing out of his body choked the space.
Everyone’s gaze turned to the hero exuding a sense of presence.
“Being tough is another specialty of mine.”
Joy and sorrow were crossed at that sight.
Leon smiled faintly.
The royal guards had distorted tears.
“Bring me an arrest notice from somewhere. We are going.”
As the main body Leon walked, the rest of the party followed him.
The guards couldn’t bear to stop them.
Because the justification and force were pushed aside.
“Please take good care of the aftermath.”
With those words, Leon came out of his corridor.
The prince went back to his room.
As soon as he entered his room, he sighed and looked back at him.
Five people.
It is neither too many nor too few people.
“… Whoa, so can you explain?”
Einstein affirmed.
“Of course. But is it okay to shoot the guards like that?”
“Of course you can see that it is not possible.”
“Is it normal?”
Leon growled.
“Isn’t that why you sent the Royal Guard? I did it out of anger, so it’s hard to rectify. They’re the ones who really bring the arrest notice. In addition, unlike the response that I have laughed at so far, I expressed an open hostile intention, so my older brother will also start putting pressure on me in earnest.”
As Arya listened to her story, her bones started to hurt.
Wasn’t sending the assassin a full-fledged pressure?
“Are you serious pressure?”
“That’s right, Miss Nun.”
How on earth was the royal palace’s level of strife?
I think it’s worse than a lot of oil in terms of messiness alone.
As Arya shook her head in disgust, Azazel whispered in her ear, “This is palace level average, sister.”
‘I heard that the royal palace is a battlefield, so that’s right.’
As Arya was thinking about that, Edelis looked at Leon with her worried eyes.
“Leon degraded.”
“Sir Edelis, don’t worry too much. Could there be a bigger problem than death?”
He seems to have let go of everything, but he is not liberated.
He had accepted everything.
Einstein felt the burning desire in his eyes.
“Do you have any plans for the future?”
“Even if I don’t exist, there is no sutra.”
Eyes filled with anticipation turned to Einstein.
Seeing that gaze, the hero pointed to his face with his index finger and asked back.
“… Me?”
“Exactly. I’ve been thinking on my own The reason why the high-profile monster hunting did not go to the front line, but arrived at the royal family flocking cranes.”
Did you think of the reason?
What are you thinking about doing?
The reason he came to the royal family was because of the words uttered by a replica of a former hero in the Ascendio Mountains.
One vague statement that the truth is in the Gallic palace.
She just took those words as a milestone.
“Isn’t that to reform the rotten inside?”
The words that came out of the mouth of Leon, the main body, were quite revolutionary.
Reform from within?
“The front line of the kingdom dealing with monsters is gradually being pushed aside. The degree of hardness experienced on the battlefield is a problem I am familiar with. A wire that will collapse someday. However, foolish nobles who neglect this and believe that the status quo will be fixed. Poor supply, isn’t it a problem? You, who judged that this should not be the case, must have come to the royal family to unite the royal family as one, with the country as the focal point, right?”
Leon, the doppelganger, also nodded his head to see if the main body’s words had touched him, Edelis and Azazel looked at each other to see if there was such an intention, and Aria looked at Astein with her eyes shining and impressed. Saw.
“Uh?”
It was a foolish inference.
Einstein was embarrassed.
There is no such enlarged interpretation in the expanded interpretation.
“So what ingenious number is there, political champion?”
The gaze of expectation from the surroundings gradually turned warm.
Einstein thought as he stroked his chin.
This guy.
The paranoia is gone.
Well, aside from Leon Duo and Edelis, Aria and Azazel.
Aren’t you guys supposed to look like that too?
Knowing why.
“Coincidentally, that is. The reason I came to the royal family isn’t that grandiose, is it?”
Fast.
Leon’s expression of anticipation collapsed.
“What?”
“To put it bluntly, I only came after hearing that there is truth in the palace.”
“… Haha?”
It was a dry laugh.
The main body, Leon, touched his forehead with his index finger and asked back.
“Really?”
“It’s true.”
“… Right.”
The prince swallowed.
The room became completely quiet.
“Why did you secretly meet me and arrange a meeting with Your Highness?”
“Because I had to get permission from the landlord to visit the royal family?”
“You said you were looking for a breakthrough by stepping off the wire for a while?”
Oh, I’m sure I said something like that when I was on the wire with him.
“I meant to say that I will become strong enough to defeat the owner of the Ascendio Mountains.”
Silence.
An unpleasant silence pervades.
“Why did Kyung come to the royal palace like this?”
Einstein checked Arya for a moment before continuing.
“It was because I somehow got involved with my doppelganger. It’s big that this guy acted because he wanted to clear up the misunderstanding with you. I wanted to find the hidden basement of the royal family who came to visit you.”
He looked somewhat stunned.
“… Really?”
“Not really.”
I wonder if Leon will have to wait a long time to recover from the shock.
