Chapter 139

Shion quickly mentioned the 3 princesses and glanced at Enrite.

Enrite seemed to be still conscious of Lesia, but she showed interest in the three princesses.

He was a direct royal family, a skilled knight, and the owner of the last demonic sword.

‘Did the three princesses approach first?’

Enrite had doubts, but was quickly convinced.

The Knights of Lihines had reputation and prestige, so anyone who was a knight had no choice but to keep an eye on them.

Perhaps the 3 princesses thought about joining the Lihines Knights, but considering their status and background, they must have found another way.

‘… If it wasn’t for Shion Regard, I wouldn’t have been able to collect the demonic swords.’

Enrite recalls the time she met Shion and is captured by that sensation again.

A human with something fateful, the owner of the acid rain, and a person who can see the future.

I was able to achieve what I had hoped for only because I believed in Zion and followed it.

‘I said I wasn’t confident.’

Shion had predicted and prepared for the invasion of the Shadow Dragon and the Narak King.

The Shadow Dragon was almost matched, but the Narak King was not enough to destroy the Allied Castle, so he pressed the Demonic Sword user and Setinos Quasar.

He even said that predictions could be wrong in the future, so Enrite couldn’t help but be a little nervous.

‘not. Zion Reggiard has been doing well so far. From now on, I have to help.’

I couldn’t depend on Zion forever.

If you recklessly take on it, you risk your life like a battle with the Narak King.

Of course, that made Shion stronger, but looking at the process alone, it would have to be seen as a significant risk.

‘No one should die.’

That someone was included included Enrite himself.

Sacrificing yourself to save someone else.

It was said that Shion did it on her own initiative, but Hanette could not tolerate it.

Because he felt that way too, he tried to exclude the act of sacrificing itself.

‘Even if I make a sacrifice, others cannot accept it.’

Shion had said something like that when fighting the Shadow Dragon.

Life should not be taken carelessly.

They fight to live, no one fights to die.

As much as he deeply engraved those words, he greatly reprimanded Zion for his mistakes.

‘… That’s why El Thesoicve and Brecht resonated.’

Even though he knew that Zion would die, he did not want to abandon it.

He made up his mind with Hannette, and he tried to follow his heart.

As a result, Brecht’s flame dwelled on El Tesoicb’s blade, and he was able to block the attack of the Hell King.

‘But… I don’t know if other demonic swords are possible.’

Resonance between demonic swords has happened a total of three times so far.

Acid Rain and Brecht, El Tesoicb and Acid Rain, El Tesoigb and Brecht.

I had experienced the resonance of El Tesoicb and Acid Rain a long time ago, but the resonance with Brecht was out of line.

‘Hanet Adelaira obtained the demonic sword without communicating.’

Enritte had heard from Sion and Harnette about how he had Brecht.

It was a unique method, and even he could not understand the phenomenon.

It was as if he had possessed a demonic sword since he was born.

‘Since you said you can’t summon a demonic sword… … .’

It was a problem in which only Hannett and Brecht were entangled.

If you own a magic sword, there’s no reason you can’t summon it.

However, it could be seen that Hannett is practically meaningless because he is drawing out Brecht’s power smoothly.

‘There is something about Hanette Adelaira.’

Enrite ponders more and meets Hannette’s gaze.

Being unusual means being able to create new possibilities.

Perhaps Brecht, the demonic sword of flame, possesses power beyond its source.

‘Can it be awakened?’

Enrite only guessed at the awakening of another demonic sword, but was not sure.

Even if it is the same demonic sword, it is divided into the demonic sword of the beginning and the demonic sword born after that, and El Thesoicb and Acid Rain even had their own egos.

However, Brecht could have reached an awakening because he was out of even that standard.

‘If it’s resonating with the demonic swords that can be awakened… … .’

“I’m asking just in case. If an alliance is formed with the 3 princesses, will the Lihines Knights suffer a loss?”

Saeran was the first to open his mouth.

Shion is conscious of Enrite and answers him.

“Good question. So, let me explain the downside. As you are of direct royalty, you will be escorted by the Royal Knights. Every time you try to do something, it may interfere.”

“Being escorted by the Royal Knights is both an advantage and a disadvantage, right?”

“you’re right. It will serve as a good force, but on the contrary, it may hinder the operation of the Knights.”

“That… It’s an alliance relationship, so wouldn’t it be possible to receive orders from us?”

“That’s right too. In terms of authority, we cannot surpass the immediate royal family.”

Oz is silent again, satisfied inside.

After making a good impression, you shouldn’t go any further.

If you are greedy for nothing, you may get criticized and lose your motivation.

“… In the event of an accident, it will be difficult to rectify the situation.”

“As you said, that part is the biggest problem. You have to fight with us, but if you’re out of line because you’re a member of the direct royal family, you can’t do anything.”

The status of a direct royal family was close to a huge disadvantage for the magic sword user.

They are always under surveillance in the name of escort, so they cannot move freely.

In a serious case, they would be swept away by the flow, and on the contrary, the Knights of Lihines and the Knights of Silage could be entrusted with the mission of escorting the 3 princesses.

“If he had been the heir to the throne, this would never have happened. I wonder if it will change depending on His Majesty’s intentions.”

“I understand that you have not yet received permission from His Majesty the King. Conditions may change later.”

In fact, depending on what direction the king issues, the overall direction changes.

If they believed in the Knights of Lihines, they would release the restrictions on the 3 princesses, and if they doubted it, they wouldn’t even allow them to establish an alliance, let alone an alliance.

Shouldn’t Setinos Quasar, who participated in the battle with the Narak King, give a mantra in order to conclude this with certainty?

“What do you think will happen if the Cetinos Quasar comes out?”

“You will think positively. but… There are also reports of reckless fighting, so it won’t necessarily get a good review.”

“… … .”

There was no excuse.

It was supposed to be seen as actually preparing for death because he fought with his mana runaway.

All the soldiers watched the scene, so it was impossible to even lie.

Even if someone could be praised as a hero, wouldn’t knights with discerning eyes be accused of doing crazy things?

“The best thing is that only the 3 princesses and Barhen-san come over.”

Hanette belatedly joins the conversation and looks at Enritte.

The people who had the strongest say here were Shion and Enrite.

Since the discussion with Shion had already ended, Enrite was the only one who needed to be persuaded.

“That sounds a bit difficult. Aren’t they the descendants of the immediate royal family and the marquess?”

“There must be at least a few members of the Royal Knights. The number of soldiers may increase.”

“The Royal Palace won’t send out many Royal Knights either. Instead, skilled knights may come.”

“The smaller the number, the easier it is for us to move. It is better to have skills than not to have them.”

“… … .”

Enrite was lost in thought and said nothing.

Because he was a member of Setinos Quasar, he was able to raise his mantra in relation to the 3 princesses.

In addition, since he is active with the Lihines Knights, the king’s thoughts may change a little.

“When only the 3 princesses come, all the demonic swords will gather. The Demonic Sword of the Earth has yet to find its owner, but it is said that they tried to communicate with it after coming to the capital. I don’t know what will happen when I collect them all, but why don’t we try it first?”

Even Shion and Enrite could not predict this.

It was a situation that had never been described in the original story, and Enrite only instinctively thought that he needed to gather demonic swords.

I just hoped that I could annihilate the 3 demon kings and 4 disasters using the 7 demon swords.

‘It’s important to collect magic swords.’

Lecia was watching them with her mouth shut.

Of course, I didn’t know exactly why.

He was only aware of the fact that the seven magic swords and the magic sword users had to gather.

‘Did you say Hanette? It was a bit peculiar.’

Lecia was also keeping an eye on Hanette.

Although he possesses a demonic sword, he was unable to create its form.

In other words, it meant that they communicated incompletely, and they would not be able to use the magic sword properly.

However, Harnette was drawing out that power naturally.

‘Shion is a human who embraces darkness… … .’

Shion accepted all the darkness of the acid rain.

At the same time, Acid Rain awakened and was reborn as Shion’s own magic sword.

In other words, it meant that Shion and Harnet could transcend their limits as magic sword users.

‘I see that both of them can go against the providence.’

* * *

The residence of the Duke of Adelaira, Zion’s room.

After being summoned to the royal palace yesterday, Shion had been in trouble.

Did you know that an opportunity like this would come to you?

Of course, since he had made great achievements, he deserved to be treated accordingly.

‘Give me the land… … .’

I had never owned land in my entire life.

In particular, in the kingdom of Alain, it was not possible to buy land unconditionally just by giving money.

Almost all of the territory of the Alain Kingdom was owned by the royal palace, and even the other lands were monopolized by the nobles.

You can only be granted land if you make a reasonable contribution, and you didn’t even try to sell it recklessly because the benefits from the land were considerable.

‘Which land should I choose?’

Shion knew a little about the territory of the Allain Kingdom.

However, the description was limited, and I couldn’t dig into the details because I couldn’t remember all the settings.

It was just a vague memory of what value a certain territory had.

‘Gold veins, special products, tourist destinations… … .’

I tried to select only the land that could be used materially or used as a personal space.

Of course, the territories that could be received were limited, so there were not many options.

Above all, there was a part that Zion considered first.

‘If you want to live with Hanette, you’ll have to choose a place where you can build a castle or a mansion… … .’
