The nobles who formed the team all went into the forest.

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

“Have you seen the Bocchan? Standing proudly in front of me.”

“Are my eyes decorative? can’t see that I saw that even Selina Young-ae became a team.”

“under… How could that incompetent maniac change like that? Don’t you know the world?”

“Yeah. It was a hellish life where every day was tense because I didn’t know what accidents might happen.”

“So. You used to come into our dorm and make a mess.”

“At that time, he was a real boy and wanted to kill something… .”

“Who would have known that a person like that would change like that.”

“I didn’t know.”

He shook his head, smiled, and smiled.

“Do you remember that time?”

“when?”

“Then why? There was a time when I thought you were crazy. Suddenly, he came to the gymnasium… .”

“Oh, then? You mean when you fight a rookie and win? The captain loses the bet.”

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

“Well… is it.”

“Think about it. A lot of things have happened since that day. From apprentice wizards to the North. The young master did it, no one can imagine that such a thing would happen to one person!”

“I heard and saw it.”

“I used to hide the fact that I was a millennium, but now I can proudly say that I am a millennium knight.”

“That is me too. My appearance changed before and after the young master came to his senses.”

The knights laughed at the same time how good it was.

“… .”

There was one gaze watching their conversation, which had no meaning.

The pattern of a red snake wrapped around a black sword was drawn on the forehead of the mask he was wearing.

swish, swish-

He sent a hand signal somewhere and carefully watched the knights’ trivial actions.

“Uh, looks like he’s coming for his shift over there.”

“already? It’s still a long way until shift.”

In front of them appeared knights clad in plate armor and covering their faces with helmets.

They were suspicious of the knights’ appearance.

When the knights stand guard, they take turns only during the designated time period.

Unless it was a special occasion, such as an order from the count, there were few cases where other knights came to the place where they were standing guard.

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

“stop!”

Blocking the knights, they showed vigilance.

“What are you guys doing?”

“Reveal your affiliation!”

It was normal for the knights to have the family crest drawn on their chest.

However, the knights in front of them did not have such a pattern.

Of course, not all knights wore armor with patterns.

There were free knights who did not belong anywhere, and in urgent cases, there were cases where they wore any armor.

In that case, I can understand that there is no pattern.

“… .”

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

The knights who kept quiet despite continued urging were not among them.

First of all, there could be no free knights here.

All of the knights here belonged to it, and no nobles would bring free knights unless they were stupid.

Even if they brought them, they would have marked them as having brought them.

More than anything else, the knights brought by the nobles had already had a meeting regarding vigilance.

They, too, were not supposed to come until after the hunting event.

“It is the last warning. If you do not reveal your affiliation, I will slit your throats.”

Chaeeng!

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

Despite the sharp blue sword pointed at them, the independent knights still did not respond.

Only the eyes in the helmet were shining.

It was a time when the knights were putting aura on their swords.

hot, hot

Along with the sound of threads being forcibly torn, a voice like scratching iron flowed out to the knight who was standing at the head of the independent knights.

“… king… .”

The voice was very muffled and small, so I couldn’t hear it very well.

“What are you saying?”

The knights made an impression.

I listened to what he had to say, resisting the urge to block my ears right now.

“The princess is ours!”

“Mi, crazy! Stop it!”

The independent knights rushed at the knights with strange cries.

***

It sounded like a scream was coming from somewhere.

I think it smells like blood too.

The crown prince and Selina did not show any reaction to the point of wondering if it was an illusion.

“Why are you like that?”

“Why are you suddenly like that? Is there anything behind you?”

On the contrary, he looked at me curiously and worried.

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

Waving at them, the crown prince tilted his head and took the goblin’s byproducts.

Despite the goblin blood and filth on his hands, he didn’t lose his smile.

“This is what I wanted. The taste of freedom that comes from being locked up in a cage every day.”

He seemed very happy, even though he could only smell the smell of blood after taking in such a deep breath.

‘It’s the first time I’ve seen something like that.’

I didn’t know that if the future changes, even one person’s appearance will change like this.

He enjoyed hunting to his heart’s content, as if he had resolved his long-suffering desire at once.

“Is that thing okay?”

If so, would Selina, who was watching him, worry?

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

“Wouldn’t Miss Selina go with you?”

“Yes. I don’t really want to.”

“yes? I was wondering if I could see Miss Selina’s swordsmanship, but it’s a pity.”

It’s not a sad face at all.

Rather, it was a happy face that she did not step forward.

When Selina joins the hunt, the number of monsters he can deal with decreases, so he didn’t want Selina and I to step in.

If it was me, I didn’t want to get tired of dealing with monsters.

‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have saved even the stronger ones.’

I couldn’t get a sense of the level of the children, so everything except for the goblin-level monsters and beasts was dealt with.

If the Crown Prince and others knew he had this level of skill, he would have saved it a little longer.

‘I didn’t care because Selina and Beatrice were out of power.’

Their level has already exceeded the level of ‘restraint’.

Beatrice of the 5th circle was not enough to fight on the front line, to the point of overflowing, and Selina was on par with a high-ranking knight in terms of swordsmanship alone.

For those girls, unless they were monsters of higher rank, such as trolls, they would not be opponents.

“Haap!”

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

It seemed to handle weapons, but I didn’t know how to fight this well.

There.

ugh-

That he is using an auror.

Although it is so weak that it is impossible to notice unless you are in a position to use the same aura, it is clear that his sword is covered with an aura.

Considering his age of 27, it wasn’t too strange, but he should focus on being a crown prince, not a knight.

No matter how much time was invested in training, there were so many things to do as the crown prince.

So it is only natural that he spends more time holding documents than handling weapons.

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

I don’t know if he has talent, but in the original work, the crown prince comes out as an ordinary person with no obvious talent.

So you have to be surprised.

However, if there is one thing that gets in the way, it is that he is a member of the royal family.

Basically, royalty are rich.

It also meant that all elixirs could be eaten.

The efficacy of the elixir is certain.

It increases the maximum amount of aura for knights who lack aura, and gives magicians mana to raise the circle.

To that extent, the elixir is good and precious.

‘It’s not like I don’t have any talent at all.’

It’s normal, but not the worst.

That means that if you put in the effort, you can get some results.

Considering enough effort and expensive elixir, his awakening could be considered late.

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

Neither in the original work nor in reality did it say that the crown prince would use Aura.

That means he’s hiding an aura, but I don’t know why.

When it becomes known that he uses an aura, more people flock to him.

The difference between using and not using aura is that big.

Unless he’s stupid, he won’t be unaware of the benefits.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“… it’s nothing.”

“It’s bland.”

I stopped thinking.

I didn’t become his person, and for some reason I had a hunch that knowing that would make me more of an annoyance.

So I decided not to get involved any more.

“But I have a question.”

“… ?”

“What’s your relationship with Miss Selina? You look very friendly.”

“… !”

Selina’s face blushed, unlike me, who was calm at the sudden question from the crown prince, as if she were puzzled by my conversation with Selina.

“uh… no, that’s… !”

The Crown Prince’s expression turned mischievous as he looked at Selina, who was talking gibberish.

“Why are you so upset?”

I looked at her strangely, unable to answer.

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

“You’re kidding too much. Miss Selina and I are just friends.”

“ah… .”

At my answer, she let out a blank sigh.

At that response, the crown prince looked back at her and me gave a strange smile.

“I see, it’s fun… .”

He nodded his head with a knowing look on his face.

At that action, her face was stained red as if it would burst at any moment.

***

“Damn it, damn it!”

The 2nd prince, who entered the forest, could not stand his anger and expressed his anger by kicking a tree or stepping on his arms.

“Can I leave it as it is?”

“So is there any way?”

“But, that’s a bit excessive.”

“What does that matter? Stay still because sparks are flying after you step out for nothing.”

The faces of the aristocrats looking at him were also not very bright.

They kept quiet, hoping that the anger would return to them.

“Damn it, why the hell is everyone flocking to that guy!”

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

Selina, who can be said to be the main pillar of this banquet, approached him and became a team.

She famously turned down the crown prince’s proposal.

But why is she with the crown prince?

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

Everything went wrong after the crash with him last night.

Nobles who should have bowed down and flattered themselves ignored them after the incident.

He looked at the crown prince with the damn Raymond, and Selina, who was called the flower of the kingdom, was alone with him, along with the magic genius Beatrice.

“If it wasn’t for that bastard… !”

If it wasn’t for that guy who ignored him, he was mad at the thought that all the attention would have come to him.

ugh-

The communication tool in his arms began to glow.

– Now.

A man’s voice came into his ears, and he, who had been angry for a while, became quiet.

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

His maddening voice echoed through the forest.
