87 – Kingdom short selling method 23

The Great Hall of the Royal Castle, where the king and his subjects discussed state affairs.

There, now, countless people were gathered in an anxious mood.

“Damn… what the hell is going on?”

“Is there any way to find out the situation outside?”

“How long do I have to stay like this… If only I could hear the circumstances… ”

At this moment, the battle for the fate of the motherland is taking place outside the castle.

Depending on the outcome, the fate of those in this place could also be decided.

If Hungary were victorious in this war, there would be no problem, and rather, it would be an opportunity to once again spread its prestige throughout the continent.

In addition, the nobles and royal families who invested in this war will also get a satisfactory return.

However, if defeated, those present here could only be captured or killed.

“If we lose this war…”

“At that time, I had no choice but to end my life resolutely.

“It’s better that way than to suffer disgrace as a noble of the kingdom.”

Hungarian aristocrats eagerly await news from the outside while resolving their spleen determination in their own way.

And, among those nobles, a boy was sitting in his seat.

A boy who was remarkably young compared to other nobles, and nevertheless maintained a resolute appearance in this uneasy atmosphere.

He is the son of King Mohic of Hungary. The crown prince, who is designated as the next successor to this kingdom

It was Prince Robert.

He was usually accompanied by escorts, but

A situation in which all of them were sent out by the prince’s own judgment that it was better to protect everyone outside the gate than to protect himself.

As a result, he was now contemplating the current situation while sitting in a suitable corner without much difference from other nobles.

‘It’s not yet time to despair. There’s no way this country will collapse so easily.’

The little prince, now only in his early teens.

However, even so, he never lost hope about the current situation.

Although he still couldn’t clearly see everything, he still believed.

That his homeland and the country he will lead cannot collapse like this.

Yes, but there was also a feeling of uneasiness in the back of his mind, and gradually it began to take on a look of nervousness on the little prince’s face.

at that time..

“hi?”

“… .?”

A woman’s voice came from the side. In response, Prince Robert turned his head in that direction.

Standing there was a girl he had never seen before.

She was the same age as herself, and honestly, I thought her appearance was normal rather than pretty.

However, there was one characteristic that stood out in her, and unlike the others right here, her face did not contain the slightest hint of tension.

‘Perhaps… she seems to be a noble lady, but with a fairly fearless personality.’

As he made that assessment, given the fairness of the dress he was wearing, Prince Robert asked her politely.

“What are you doing? Do you have something to do with me?”

“Yeah, since I’m bored, let’s play together.”

“what… I beg your pardon?”

Prince Robert shows embarrassment at the unexpected words.

Seeing him like that, the girl blinked and asked him.

“You are the only one my age here. Honestly, aren’t you bored too? Everyone is making serious faces and talking about troublesome things. That’s over an hour.”

“Of course… even at this moment, a war is going on outside that is about the fate of this country, right?

For a moment, thinking that the girl had not yet grasped the situation, Robert said with some displeasure.

He thought that such an attitude in a battle where the fate of the country was at stake was not the attitude a nobleman of the kingdom should have, no matter how young he was.

And, while looking at Robert like that, the girl still spoke in a light tone.

“therefore? If we are thinking about it, will the result change?”

“Yes?”

At the unexpected, bony answer, his face began to look puzzled, and the girl continued to speak without hesitation.

“No, think about it, no matter how worried and anxious children like us are now, the number of the Black Legion is not increasing, and the number of Sakiels is not decreasing, right? The die was cast anyway, and all that was left was to wait. No matter how much we worry, nothing will change.”

“That is… yes, but…”

Prince Robert can’t bear to refute the words of a girl who changes her point of view and stabs her in the middle.

Seeing him like that, the girl said to him with a wide smile on her lips.

“right? That’s why you don’t have to be serious with a serious expression. At times like this, we little kids just need to spend time in moderation so as not to disturb the adults. There is absolutely no need to be nervous like you are right now.”

“Ha.. but no matter how much it is… ”

I suddenly thought that it was not a very wrong story, but I also thought that I should keep my weight as a crown prince.

However, regardless of his thoughts, the girl took Robert’s hand and said,

“If you’re worried about people staring at you, you can just hide and play. There is a small room behind the curtain, and I brought the trump here like this.”

“… ”

Hearing the girl’s words, he thought in his heart that it shouldn’t be like this, but he and her started to be taken to a corner in the back of the Great War.

“Oh, come to think of it, I haven’t asked for your name yet. My name is Yuria Sweets. what’s your name?”

“You mean my name… that’s…”

At the girl’s question, Robert cautiously opened his mouth, noticing that she did not know that he was the crown prince.

“My name is… Robben… Robben Schurt.”

Robert, who gives an appropriately made-up name.

It occurred to him at this moment that he did not want to reveal it now.

It was because it seemed that this child would react awkwardly if he revealed his identity.

Suddenly, he wondered why he was paying attention to this part, but Robert nevertheless introduced himself as a simple nobleman and went inside with the girl named Yuria in front of him.

*

Those who are determined in the midst of anxiety and nervousness.

But only one person among them.

She already knows very well the fate of those here, and furthermore, is convinced that her own destiny will be completely different from theirs.

Princess Leila Matani was feeling nervousness of a very different color from them.

‘Ah, perhaps by now he has entered this royal castle, right? I want to meet you soon. My Princess Elios.’

What would happen when she arrived here, the scene was already very clear in Leila’s eyes.

The moment the White Dragon Princess and her subordinates annihilated the guards and entered the room, it was clear that a literal bloody massacre would begin here.

The nobles who were determined to be brave, and the foolish royalty who had been ignoring her all along.

And more than anyone. Even the foolish and pitiful younger brother who disappeared somewhere while chatting excitedly with a girl of the same age over there without grasping the situation even at this moment.

Overjoyed at the fact that sooner or later everyone would be killed, and in return he would obtain the free wings he had longed for. At this moment, Princess Layla was seized with intense anticipation and excitement.

‘Hey Elios, welcome. Please come in here and send all these fools to the other world and take this body to your world!’

Layra shouts in her heart with one heart until she is so desperate.

That moment..

-Kikiiik-

The door, which had been firmly closed until now, finally opened, and at the same time, all eyes, including Princess Leara, turned towards it.

And…

“!”

“What… what are you guys?”

Then, without hesitation, three people entered the room.

Two of them wore black robes, but one wore a striking white robe to hide his identity.

But at this moment, Princess Leila could see it.

The figure in the white robe, the silver hair peeking out from the inside of the figure.

‘You’re here, finally!’

Just as Leila smiled with hope in her heart, the person in the white robe raised her hand and sent a signal without delay.

And..

“Kuk!”

“This… these guys… dare.”

The next moment, people in black robes threatened the nobles with their swords drawn.

Then, the person in the white robe walked into the main hall along the path the two would give.

And..

“… ?!”

The next moment, the person standing right in front of Leila.

Then, he lightly gestured towards Layra, and Layra started following him without any resistance.

“Go.. Princess?”

“Uh… where are you going…”

The royal family and nobles who express their bewilderment in an unexpected situation.

However, at their question, Princess Leila left the room with a smile on her face, along with a person in a white robe, and the remaining ones in black robes raised their weapons and slowly approached the nobles.

A situation where something terrible is about to happen.

As a result, the faces of the nobles gradually began to show fear.

And..
