Chapter 121

Episode 121:

All the nobles who made up the team went into the forest.

At the entrance to the forest where everyone had disappeared, several knights were waiting to prepare for an unexpected situation.

“Have you seen the master? “Standing proudly even in front of inferiority.”

“Are my eyes decoration? I can’t see that. “I even saw Lady Selina become a team.”

“Ha… That incompetent idiot can change like that. “You really don’t know what life is like?”

“I know. “It was a hell of a life where I was nervous every day because I didn’t know what kind of accident would happen.”

“therefore. “In the past, he came into our dorm and made a mess.”

“At that time, I really wanted to kill you and everything…”

“Who knew that someone like that would change like that?”

“I didn’t know.”

He shook his head and burst into laughter.

“Do you remember that time?”

“when?”

“Why then? There was a time when I thought you were crazy. He suddenly came to the training center and….”

“Oh, then? Are you talking about when you fight and win against a new recruit? “The leader lost the bet.”

“uh. “When I think about it, I think that was the beginning.”

“Um… I guess so.”

“Think about it. A lot of things have happened since that day. From Apprentice Wizard to the North. Even if you did it, who could even imagine something like that happening to one person!”

“That’s what I heard.”

“In the past, I hid the fact that I was a millennium, but now it’s nice to be able to confidently say that I am a knight of the millennium.”

“That goes for me too. “I heard that my appearance changed before and after you came to your senses.”

The knights burst out laughing at the same time, wondering what was so good about it.

“….”

There was only one eye watching their meaningless conversation.

The mask he was wearing had a symbol of a red snake wrapped around a black sword drawn on his forehead.

Whoosh, whoosh,

he sent a hand signal to somewhere and watched carefully even the slightest actions of the knights.

“Uh, I think he’s coming for his shift over there.”

“already? “There’s still a long way to go until the shift.”

Knights wearing plate armor and covering their faces with helmets appeared in front of them.

They were suspicious of the knights’ appearance.

When drivers are on guard, they only change shifts during designated times.

Unless it is a special event such as an order from the count, there are few cases where other knights come to the place where they are standing guard.

This is because if you make a hasty move while on guard, you cannot avoid suspicion, no matter how much you already know each other.

“stop!”

They showed caution by blocking the knights.

“What are they doing?”

“Reveal your affiliation!”

It was normal for knights to have the emblem of the family they belonged to drawn on their chests.

However, the knights in front of them had no such emblem.

Of course, not all knights wore armor with patterns on it.

There were free knights who did not belong anywhere, and in urgent cases, they sometimes came out wearing any armor.

In that case, I can understand the absence of the pattern.

“….”

“If you do not reveal your affiliation, we will consider you an enemy!”

Those did not include the knights who kept quiet despite repeated urgings.

First of all, there could not be free knights here.

All the knights here were affiliated, and unless they were stupid, there was no way the nobles would bring in free knights.

Even if they had brought them with them, they would have put a mark on them saying that they had brought them.

Above all, the knights brought by the nobles had also completed a meeting regarding boundaries.

They were also not supposed to come until the hunting event was over.

“It is the last warning. “If you don’t reveal your affiliation, I will cut off your heads.”

Cheaeng!

The knights drew their swords and pointed them at the independent knights.

Even though the razor-colored swords were pointed at them, the independent knights still did not react.

Only the eye light inside the helmet was shining.

It was when the knights were pushing the auror to the sword.

Knock knock knock.

A voice like scraping metal, along with the sound of thread being forcibly torn, came from the knight standing at the head of the independent knights.

“…King…”

The voice was so faint and small that it was difficult to hear.

“What are you saying?”

The knights were impressed.

I resisted the urge to cover my ears right away and listened to what he said.

“The princess is ours!”

“Mi crazy! Stop it!”

The independent knights rushed towards the knights, letting out strange cries.

***

It seemed like a scream was coming from somewhere.

I think it smells like blood too.

The crown prince and Selina didn’t show much of a reaction, making me wonder if it was an illusion.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden? “Is there something behind you?”

Instead, he looked at me strangely and was worried.

“it’s nothing. “I guess I was mistaken.”

As he waved his hand at them, the crown prince tilted his head and took the goblin’s by-products.

Even though his hands were covered in goblin blood and filth, he never lost his smile.

“This is what I wanted. “The taste of freedom after spending every day locked in a cage.”

Even though he took a deep breath and all he could smell was the smell of blood, he seemed very happy.

‘This is my first time seeing something like that again.’

I had no idea that when the future changed, even a person’s appearance would change in this way.

He enjoyed hunting to his heart’s content, as if it were all at once relieving the desire he had been suppressing for so long.

“Is that okay?”

I wonder if Selina, who was watching this, would be worried.

The crown prince, who had become an unbridled colt, found it difficult to stop and did not want to stop.

“Miss Selina, won’t you join us?”

“yes. “I don’t really want to do it.”

“okay? “I was wondering if I would be able to see Selina’s sword skills, but it’s a shame.”

It’s not a sad face at all.

Instead, he looked happy that she didn’t come forward.

He hoped that Selina and I would not participate because if Selina participates in the hunt, the monsters he can face will decrease.

If it were a monster, I didn’t want to get tired of dealing with it.

‘If I had known this would happen, I would have let the stronger ones live.’

It was unclear what the level of the children was, so all except goblin level monsters and beasts were dealt with.

If the Crown Prince and others had known that he was this capable, they would have saved him a little longer.

‘I didn’t worry about Selina and Beatrice because they were out of full force.’

Their level has already surpassed the level of ‘self-control’.

Beatrice of the 5th Circle was more than capable of fighting on the front lines, and Selina was on par with a high-ranking knight in terms of swordsmanship alone.

For those girls, they are no match for anything other than a high-level monster such as a troll.

“Ha!”

Even so, the crown prince’s propaganda was unexpected.

It seemed like he could handle a weapon, but I didn’t expect him to fight this well.

There it is.

Ugh –

he’s using aurors.

Although it was so weak that it could not be noticed unless you were in the position of using the same aura, his sword was clearly covered with aura.

Considering he was 27 years old, it wasn’t that strange, but we should focus on the fact that he was a crown prince, not a knight.

No matter how much time he invested in training, there was still a lot of work to do as the crown prince.

Therefore, it is natural that more time is spent holding documents than handling weapons.

‘It’s impossible if you don’t put in that much effort.’

You might not know if he had talent. In the original work, the crown prince appears as an ordinary person with no obvious talent.

So I can’t help but be surprised.

However, if there is one thing that bothers him, it is that he is a royal.

Basically, royals are rich.

That meant that all elixirs could be consumed.

The efficacy of the elixir is certain.

For knights who lack auras, it increases the maximum amount of auras and gives wizards mana to increase their circles.

That is how good and precious the elixir is.

‘It’s not like I have no talent at all.’

It’s just average, but it’s not the worst.

That means that if you work hard, you can achieve some results.

Considering the amount of effort and expensive elixir, his awakening could be considered late.

‘But why did you hide the awakening of your Auror?’

There was no mention of the Crown Prince using Aurors in the original work or in reality.

That means he’s hiding his Aurors, but I don’t know why.

As it becomes known that he uses Aurors, more people flock to him.

The difference between using Aurors and not is that big.

Unless he’s stupid, he wouldn’t know that benefit.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“…it’s nothing.”

“It’s bland.”

I stopped thinking.

I didn’t become his person, and somehow I had a feeling that it would be more bothersome if I found out.

So I decided not to get involved any further.

“But I have a question.”

“…?”

“What is your relationship with Miss Selina? “It looks like they’re very friendly.”

“…!”

Perhaps she was puzzled by the sight of me talking to Selina, but unlike me, who was calm at the crown prince’s sudden question, Selina’s face turned red.

“Uh… no, that’s…!”

The crown prince’s expression turned mischievous as he looked at Selina, who was speaking gibberish.

“Why are you so upset?”

I looked at her strangely as she couldn’t give a definite answer.

Why spend so much time worrying about something that can be answered simply?

“You’re joking too much. “Me and Miss Selina are just friends.”

“Ah…”

She sighed in confusion at my answer.

In response, the crown prince looked back and forth between me and her and smiled strangely.

“I guess it’s interesting…”

He nodded with an expression on his face that said he knew everything.

At that action, her face turned red as if she was going to explode at any moment.

***

“Fuck shit!”

The second prince who entered the forest could not hold back his anger and expressed his anger by kicking trees or trampling on their arms.

“Can I just leave it like that?”

“Is there any way to do that?”

“But that’s a bit excessive.”

“What does it matter? If you step out for no reason, sparks will fly, so stay still.”

The faces of the nobles looking at him were not so bright.

They stayed quiet for fear that the anger would return to them.

“Damn it, why is everyone gathering around that guy!”

He recalled the crown prince he had seen at the entrance to the forest.

Selina, who could be said to be the mainstay of this banquet, approached him and they became a team.

She was famous for turning down the Crown Prince’s proposals.

But why is she with the crown prince?

“It’s all because of that bastard Raymond!”

Everything went wrong after my collision with him last night.

The nobles who were supposed to bow down to him and flatter him ignored him after that happened.

He looked at the crown prince who was with that damn Raymond, and Selina, the so-called flower of the kingdom, was only by his side along with the magic genius Beatrice.

“If only that bastard wasn’t there…!”

If it weren’t for that guy who ignored him, he thought that all that attention would have been on him, and he was so angry that he went crazy.

Woo-woo-

The communication device in his arms began to glow.

-Now.

A man’s voice reached his ears, and he, who had been angry for a long time, became quiet.

“okay. “It will be different now. It’s all mine now!”

His frantic voice echoed through the forest.
