Chapter 490 – 490. The Past of the Fox (1)
Kwaaang!
The mass ‘Devil’ that fell from the sky cut through the air and hit the coffin containing the current king’s body.
“Keugh!?”
The soldiers who were carrying the coffin collapsed in a moment of surprise from the enormous shock that was transmitted to their shoulders, and the coffin that could not withstand the force was pulverized in vain.
“What… !?”
Queen Diane and some other dignitaries, who were staring at the ruins where the bodies of past kings were buried in front of them, reflexively looked back, startled by the sudden uproar.
Soldiers lying on the floor and broken coffins.
And the state of the body of the current king, Andrea Fernias, who had been decomposed for several months in the coffin was revealed.
Upon checking the body of the king, whose head had been completely crushed and whose shape had become unrecognizable, Queen Diane distorted her face.
“This… What happened to this!”
I asked Riod, the Knight Commander of Artia, who was in charge of escorting this expedition with a roar, and questioned him, but Riod did not answer.
Embarrassed even more by his attitude towards her staring at the sky without answering her own question, Queen Diane clenched her fists and trembled.
“Duke Olivion!”
The reason Queen Diane is furious is not because she simply mutilated the body of the man who was her husband.
There was no feeling of affection between her and her king.
Just as her King and her Queen, leaving her royal lineage to her generation, her business leanings entwined with her own family and the political interests of her realm.
Andrea was in need, so she embraced Diane in order to leave behind her descendants, and Queen Diane gave birth to Damian that way.
There was no love between the two of them, between the king and queen.
It is not because of Jung that Queen Diane is indignant at the destruction of Andrea’s body, but as the leader of Artia’s knights escorting the royal family, she resents that Riod could not protect the royal family, her escort target, from any threat. There is.
Among the objects of the royal family’s escort, it means escorting the dead bodies of the royal family in an intact state, and this act of damaging the body of the king is a disrespectful act that is no different from challenging the authority of the royal family.
“Where the hell are you looking… !”
With a distorted look on her face, Queen Dianne moved her gaze along the direction Leo de was looking at and spotted Eun-hyeon gliding in the air above her.
Seeing him come down slowly and land on the floor, people belatedly understood what had happened.
It was later realized that it was none other than Eunhyeon who flew up into the air and threw a terrifying javelin to destroy the coffin and damage the king’s body.
“…”
The soldiers and knights were silent as they looked at Eunhyun, who was stepping on the broken coffin.
The aftermath of the sudden preemptive strike caused a very big wave.
The Artia knights did not take any action despite Eunhyeon’s sudden action.
Swallowing a gulp, inspecting his armament, he watched Rio de notice while holding the handle of the sword clinging to his waist.
All of them are thinking the same thing right now, right now.
‘Can I stop that person?’
All of Artia’s knights knew Eunhyun’s skills.
By watching the match with Riod, who was already known as a friend, he imprinted his skills in both eyes, and as much as he knows where the bold activities of the Artia Knights, which wiped out all the corrupt nobles inside the kingdom, began, Eun-hyeon’s influence I was experiencing it firsthand.
My reason, body, and instinct had already concluded with certainty that ‘I can’t beat that person.’
Even so, if Riod made a decision, even if it was an unreasonable order, he put his strength into the hand holding the handle of the sword to carry it out.
“Explain.”
After about 5 seconds of silence, Riod finally asked Eunhyeon.
Lyod’s question had many meanings.
Why did you mutilate the king’s body?
Why did you aim for this place at this moment, right now?
Why hadn’t he consulted himself beforehand?
No matter what the purpose or motive, Riod never thought that Eunhyun would commit evil deeds.
His actions and choices always had a reason, and he led them on the right path.
Even if it was to bring a sword to the royal family he was protecting, if it was necessary, he was willing to help Eun-hyeon in a way that minimized the risk.
If he had told him in advance, he would have created the appropriate situation and timing, but instead, Riod had a complicated feeling about Eun-hyeon, who ventured ahead.
It is close to sadness.
So he hardened his face and argued with Eunhyun in a low voice.
“… Sorry. But I have not been able to consult you on this matter.”
After reading Riod’s heart, Eun-hyeon smiled bitterly and pulled out the bruenak stuck in the floor through the coffin.
Even as Eun-hyeon, it was impossible for Eun-hyeon to seek permission from the knight commander who protects the royal family in advance for this plan to attack a member of the royal family.
Rather, it was Eun-hyeon’s bitter consideration, thinking that doing the work on his own without taking Riod as an accomplice would cause less damage to him later.
“It was absolutely necessary.”
“Needful?”
It is Queen Diane who is furious at Eun-hyeon’s words.
“To mutilate the body of the royal family… To draw a sword into the royal family? Is that what you need right now?!”
As a member of the royal family, that anger is very natural.
This is a very important issue related to the prestige of their country, and in this situation, it would not be strange at all if the knights, who are no different from the sword of the royal family, would give a summary execution.
Rather, even after receiving such an insulting attack, Riod’s behavior itself, staring at Eun-hyeon without drawing his sword, is the same as dishonoring the royal family.
“Sorry, but yes. But… It’s not the royal family that I’m turning against. I only need to see the corpse in this coffin.”
“What the hell is that…”
“There is one of my acquaintances who now has a great grudge against the royal family.”
Eunhyun continued her explanation while putting the bruenak over her shoulder.
“So I compromised with him. Rather than the entire royal family, I decided to take revenge on a specific individual with a grudge.”
“… So you’re saying that the target is now deposed?”
“Yes.”
“… Under.”
Queen Diane couldn’t say anything because she was so full of energy at Eun-hyeon’s positive attitude as if it was natural.
“Who is he?”
What kind of person, what kind of magnate is the person who holds a grudge against Andrea, who can attack the royal family, which is the center of this country?
Touching the Fernias royal family directly is the same as touching the entire Fernias kingdom.
That goes hand in hand with dealing with all of the kingdom’s large-scale troops, including the Artia Knights, so there’s no reason to do such a bold thing without going crazy.
“There is. Someone like that.”
“…”
Queen Diane felt annoyed at Eun-hyeon’s attitude of smiling and saying meaningful words.
‘What the hell is that person doing… !’
A tense and imminent situation where even a little something, even the slightest chance, could lead to a fight right away.
YuRia, who was feeling nervous, felt as if her heart would shrink in real time even now.
Eun-hyeon’s extraordinaryness, of course, because she knew a special secret, she could be sure that if a fight broke out here, no matter which side won, just being swept away in the aftermath would take fatal damage.
After some time, Eleanor and Erin ran straight over and took their seats on either side of Eunhyun.
It seemed that they also knew about Eun-hyeon’s plan in advance.
As the hostile atmosphere began to form between Eunhyeon and Eleanor, as well as the knights and royals surrounding them, Erin took a vigilant posture so that she could pull out the rapier she was wearing around her waist at any time.
“Erin. Are you okay.”
“… Okay.”
However, Erin’s vigilant attitude quickly loosened when Eunhyeon spoke.
In this situation, she might be attacked at any moment, but she let her guard down. It was a foolish act she would never do normally, but it was Eun-hyeon’s words that let her guard down.
“Duke of Olivion… !”
The moment she shouted at the knights of Riod and Artia and tried to give orders again, Eun-hyeon opened her mouth again.
“Queen. The queen kept the promise she made with me.”
“…”
At Eunhyeon’s words, all the knights and soldiers focused on him turned to Queen Diane.
The fact that some kind of cooperative relationship has been formed between Eunhyeon and Queen Diane is a fact that no one knows even within the kingdom, except for Riod and Yuria.
“You… Was it your purpose to come here from the beginning?”
“You’re right.”
Eunhyun confidently nodded his head.
In fact, if the king were to pass away, she had secretly sent a secret letter through Yuria to inform herself of the fact and had made a secret pact with Queen Diane in advance so that she could come to the royal family’s grave island with a suitable reason.
“Ah.”
Yuria sighed lightly.
Why did Queen Diane send a secret letter to her Eun-hyeon, asking Eun-hyeon to participate in this expedition, she realized the reason.
From the beginning, the subject was wrong.
Queen Diane did not ask Eun-hyeon to accompany her here, but she asked Eun-hyeon to accompany her here.
As the result of that action led to the current situation of damaging the body of the current king, Queen Diane deserves to be resentful of her betrayal.
Eun-hyeon accepted all of Queen Dianne’s soaring emotions and continued to open her mouth.
“So I will also tell you the truth here.”
“… What?”
“Why did I commit the rudeness of mutilating the body of the current King, Andrea Fernias, and who was the one who wanted me to do this?”
After that, Eunhyun raised her right hand.
‘Berdandi.’
[I allow it.]
When he asked permission in his heart, his goddess readily agreed.
Perfect
Eunhyeon received Belldandi’s permission and activated her goddess power.
[Eunhyeon’s Unique Ability]
[Implementation of a fantasy world]
When you snap your fingers, the world begins to change completely.
Instead of a dark background where the cool evening wind starts to blow, the landscape that started to change to a bright daylight landscape, like dissolving watercolor paint into a bottle, was so natural and realistic, it was full of a sense of incongruity.
“This…”
Queen Diane hardened her face to the rapidly changing reality.
In the previous public trial, the level was different from the reproduction of people’s voices.
This ability to interfere with and change the present reality was close to the realm of a god that could not be reproduced even with magic.
The people around them, who are experiencing Eunhyun’s ability for the first time, look around with a puzzled look on their faces, and their rationality cannot keep up with them in order to accept the sudden change.
“Wow… What’s this?”
It was the same for Erin, who was experiencing Eunhyeon’s ‘realization of the fantasy world’ for the first time.
Aside from Eun-hyeon, the only ones who are making a calm expression here are Riod and Eleanor, who have experienced this before.
With the exception of the two, everyone is panicking at once.
“Everything I am telling you is true. It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me.”
Eunhyun laughed and started talking.
The story of a mysterious being who loved humans but was betrayed.
