The third prince did not look like that, but he was in a position to come for diplomacy.

Although there is a good relationship with the empire, it was not an enemy relationship, but it was not an easy task for the royal family to maintain a neutral state.

“It turns out that way.”

The Count sighed lightly beside him.

I wonder if the inspection the crown prince said was burdensome for him too.

“It will turn properly.”

-Still, there is some time left for them to go, so it would be good to prepare until then.

“It should be. Dealing with them isn’t once or twice. It’s just frustrating to have to see that face again.”

The Count said something harsh that he wouldn’t normally say.

Are the inspectors that scary?

I had experience dealing with auditors at the academy, so I couldn’t understand why they reacted to this level.

– I apologize in advance for their rudeness.

“no. You have done enough. From now on, it’s something we’ll have to deal with.”

-Thank you for thinking so.

The Crown Prince spoke to me again.

-Raymond, I feel sorry for you. If I had handled it well, this wouldn’t have happened.

“no.”

-It’s the same this time. I’m very ashamed of myself that the crown prince can’t solve even this place on his own.

“… .”

– I’m like this, but can I ask you one favor?

“tell.”

As I nodded, he gave me a faint smile.

-Please take good care of the 3rd prince. I’ll delay the visit of the inspectors as much as possible, so I’d like to help the 3rd prince come back to his senses before they go.

“Well… .”

I was not quick to answer that question.

Getting the third prince to come to his senses was another matter.

The reason why the 3rd prince went crazy was because of the black magician.

The black magician’s magic was mainly based on curses and hallucinations.

The curse and hallucination stimulate the trauma of the other person.

It destroys the person’s mind by forcibly pulling out the most fearful, sad, and angry memories.

‘There’s no way I can do it my way just by asking me to do it. It would be faster to ask the priest to solve it.’

It was the fastest way for a priest to step out in that direction.

Although the holy power used by the priest curses and damages the undead.

It also stabilizes the mind and body of people and makes them strong.

Even so, it was ambiguous to reject the crown prince’s words.

“I will try.”

– That answer alone puts my mind at ease. please do well

“Yes.”

– Oh, and I wish you well, Count. It’s a disgrace to have them show up in our kingdom.

“I will keep that in mind. The Mage Tower has sent a pursuit party, so you don’t have to worry too much.”

-I will only trust the Count.

Contact was lost with that.

The Count buried himself on the sofa for a while.

He closed his eyes, raised his hand and pressed his forehead.

“I’ll just go.”

“yes.”

I left the office, leaving him behind as he spoke without even opening his eyes.

The gazes around me were stinging.

“I heard you found a warlock this time?”

“It would have been dangerous if the Bocchan hadn’t discovered it.”

“Wow, great. How the hell do you find that?”

Hearing their words made me feel embarrassed for no reason, and hurriedly returned to my bedroom.

saek-.

Next to the bed, on the table, I saw a hatchling in a basin full of ice.

It curled up like a snake and was breathing heavily.

It was a side effect of the dragon.

With a still inexperienced body, the rebound came by forcibly using the word.

There were no external injuries, but the inside was quite damaged.

The good news is that the dragon’s unique regenerative power and strength are quickly recovering its body.

Hatchling alone had to endure the heat and pain that occurred during the recovery process.

There was nothing I could do.

All I could do was change the ice periodically to cool off the hot heat of my cold body.

“I had a hard time.”

Originally, I used something that I couldn’t even use as an expedient, so I may have to consider it fortunate.

It was a pity that I couldn’t do anything for you because you did it for me.

“Raymond, are you in?”

“Ah yes. I will go out.”

As I was staring at Hatchling, the Count came and knocked on the door.

I quickly opened the door and walked out and closed it.

“Are you going to visit the prince?”

“… Yes. It should be.”

As I nodded slowly, the count handed me a small lamp that fits comfortably in my hand.

When I asked what this was, he said as if it was nothing.

“It is a lamp enchanted with mental and physical stability and curse cancellation. It will be helpful, so turn it on while meeting the prince.”

For nothing, it was quite different.

Recalling the magic that went into it made me realize that the value of the lamp in my hand is by no means small.

When it came to the auction house, the godfathers offered a large amount of money to each other, and it had such a function that they wanted to buy it.

He gave me something like this casually, and it made me know where he was.

‘Seeing that it contains only things that will be useful to the prince, it seems he made it himself.’

Aside from stabilizing the mind and body, it was clear that magic such as canceling the curse was used to target the 3rd prince.

Since the warlock has ruined his mind, it’s not a bad idea to suspect the curse.

Among the curses, there were also curses that did not take mana.

“I will definitely pass this on to him.”

“Good job.”

The count returned to his face, saying that he had done his job.

His face seemed to have grown old in the meantime.

***

I headed to the building used by the 3rd prince as a lodging.

Read at noblemtl.com

Knights of the Empire were moving around it.

Their faces were full of worry as the 3rd prince stuck in the room and did not come out.

“Hey, there… .”

“what. Why is he here?”

they glared at me

Some of them even approached and blocked my way to where the 3rd prince was.

“Go back. The prince is in no position to see anyone right now.”

“Now, because of whom did it happen… Tsk.”

He showed an open attitude of ignoring me in front of me, but I endured it.

It wasn’t that they didn’t know their heart.

It was true that he followed me, and it was also true that he failed to properly protect him.

From their point of view, who have to protect the owner, they will be angry that the owner is broken without knowing it.

Because I seemed to be the cause, he would want to punch me right now.

Even so, the reason I’m holding back is because I know it shouldn’t be like that.

“It’ll be a while, so come out.”

I said it as politely as possible.

I didn’t like the behavior, but it didn’t do me any good to clash with them.

Especially when the atmosphere was gloomy like now, it was best to do things quietly.

“Did you not hear me? Didn’t you say no?”

“Go back.”

The knights’ faces distorted.

“Sigh… ”

For some reason, I sighed as I felt that I could not avoid colliding with them.

yes i know that

I’m angry because my master seems to have been hurt because of me.

Still, it would be nice if you could avoid it if you put up with it to this extent.

“Okay, come out.”

I started to get annoyed with them who kept ignoring my words and blocking my way.

It’s not that I can’t understand the words, and even if I try to pass quietly, I won’t be able to do that.

“I didn’t like it from the start.”

“There is a degree to ignoring us. They treat you like nothing.”

The knights who had been spread around came rushing in and surrounded me.

They were openly hostile towards me and pressed me to go back.

They complained in front of me and even showed me an attitude of ignoring me.

I think he thought that if I did this, I would step down.

‘I’m starting to get feverish.’

I can’t be that kind of a good guy.

The more they came out like that, the more irritation and anger piled up.

It’s not like I know you as a coward who backs down if you scare someone.

It’s not that I don’t know their situation, but I couldn’t accept it forever when they ignored me like this.

“Move.”

The aura began to move violently.

The momentum that flowed from my body mixed with the aura and spread in all directions.

“… !”

The Warrug Count’s momentum squeezed them through my body.

The knights’ complexions turned pale and looked at me with incredulous eyes.

wince-

As I moved, they backed up and stepped back.

Although imitating it, it is the spirit of a sword master.

It couldn’t be easier to endure it.

It could have been a natural thing for them to back off.

I passed them by and stood in front of the door where the 3rd prince was standing.

smart smart

When I knocked on the door, I heard something breaking and a hoarse voice.

“go away! Don’t come in!”

A furious voice threatening to kill you if you come in.

smart smart

“Go away!”

Whenever there was a knock on the door, swearing came from within.

He had a strong will to meet anyone.

“I will go in.”

So what do you mean?

Ignoring that, I opened the door and went inside.

Whoa! Kwajangchang.

As soon as I opened the door, something flew in and shattered the door.

If I hadn’t closed the door immediately, it would have been a little dangerous.

Looking at the floor, I saw a glass jar containing flowers.

“I won’t come in… !”

The third prince stopped shouting and shut his mouth.

When he saw my face, his face turned pale and he hurriedly got into the blanket.

“Get out! Because I don’t want to see anyone.”

I was just staring at him as he shouted, and soon I heard sobs.

I quietly approached him and put the lamp on the bedside table.

Click.

The light from the lamp began to circulate, warmly illuminating the dark room.

“Black… .”

Could it be because of the effect of the lamp? The third prince, who had been crying for a long time, seemed to calm down little by little.

“Are you okay?”

“… Yes.”

Only then did the third prince answer.

I gave him an hour. Without the effect of the lamp, there was no way to talk to him.

I really had no choice but to call the priest and wait for them to come.

I’m glad I found a way though.

“First of all, I am sorry. I should have stopped the prince somehow, but I couldn’t. If it had been dried, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“… .”

The third prince was speechless.

The black magician’s work must have been a big shock, and it was hard to escape from the shock.

“How are you feeling? They say you’re not very good If you find it difficult to speak, I will step back.”

“… .”

Still he was speechless.

He said he didn’t want to talk, but he couldn’t be forced to talk.

“Then go back… .”

As I turned to leave, he grabbed me by the collar.
