Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 38. Bonding (4)

When Ferda and Silva faced every death.

Robert directly activated the crystal sphere. It was to keep my promise to Ferda. The crystal ball that had been puffed up began to brighten.

A moment later, I saw a middle-aged man from beyond.

[Report. Royal Communications.]

A wizard with a fancy beard.

He replied with a seamless tone. Then the other wizard next to the star cries out in surprise.

[Ah! Wait, the line is for Prince Robert.]

“That's right. Three Prince Robert. ”

I disclosed my identity to save time.

Then I heard a surprised voice beyond the crystal sphere.

[Prince!]

[You're all right! Thank God you're all right.]

Robert straightens to the point, watching the wizards clamor.

“No, I called you with an urgent matter. ”

[Yes? · · · · · · · · · · · · if you need to inform.]

“It's hard to communicate in words. Judge for yourself. ”

Roughly wrapped, Robert hands June the crystal ball. Yi Jun moves near the west gate, illuminating Silk and Ferda.

It doesn't matter why later. After all, all the voices and footage of the Royal Straight Correction Ball will be recorded.

Around that time, you hear Ferda's cry from afar.

“Oh, my God. Shane Archdut! I never thought you'd be the cause of all this! ”

It was a sudden shout, but Robert's complexion did not change a bit. It's because I had some idea why Ferda asked me to do this.

‘It would be to solidify the position of a formal successor. ’

Ferda wants to make Silvan Archdutz the official heir to the Earl. Of course, he is already a legitimate successor on paper. But that alone cannot make a nobleman's heir.

‘The Actuals didn't do what they deserved. ’

Though he was aware of Earl Archdut's conspiracy and rescued the three princes and the investigators, this was a bit lacking. So we needed to create something that was very public.

‘Yes, for example. ’

Defeat tens of thousands of undead and save the endangered Earl.

Robert's eyes flash coldly.

‘This helps me too. ’

The stronger the Sernerk becomes, the greater Robert's power will be. So there's nothing wrong with working together. That's why Robert followed Ferda's instructions diligently.

But it was then.

[Oh, that's interesting information.]

Between the voices of the gravely muttering wizards, there was a rather rash voice. Subsequently, someone pushes his face into the crystal ball. A man with light gold hair and green eyes.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

Meanwhile, Robert opens his eyes to find him.

It was because I realized who the man was at once.

‘Wizard Keshmif. ’

Lord of the Seven Horses and Wizard of the Kingdom.

A nobleman who was the youngest of the Earls, recognized for his skills and a series of accomplishments, even though he was not a royal. He was also such an influential figure in the kingdom.

‘I can't believe Earl Keshmif is watching this. ’

It was really great.

Robert's mouth twitched. I tried so hard to suppress the smile that I had never known. On the other hand, Keshmiff mutters in a rather cynical tone.

[The Earl's firstborn son has done this madness only to inherit his family. If I hadn't seen it myself, I would have taken it as a joke.]

[But it's obvious.]

You hear a heavy voice next to Keshmif.

At the same time, Robert suddenly trembles.

[That man is the eldest son of the archduke, Shane Archdut.]

A confident, young muttering continues. Robert's eyes then grew larger and larger as well. Then Keshmif smiles as if it's funny.

[Oh, you've seen that guy?]

[Yes. It was a long time ago.]

With the answer, a new figure shines on the crystal sphere.

A man in his mid-40s with gray-white long hair and yellow eyes. He had eyes that were dry but fierce like a beast. Robert found this more violent than he did with Queshamif.

It was worth it. The middle-aged man was truly a great big man.

‘Grand Master, Duke of Setier. ’

Setier du Raganata.

All it takes is two sentences to describe him.

The greatest knight in Laderon Kingdom. At the same time, a man called the West Coast's finest prosecutor.

So Robert's face was stunned.

After a while, he clenches his fist tightly with an excited face.

It was because he was inspired by the fact that Earl Queshamif and even Duke Setier were watching.

Then you hear Duke Setier's voice.

[But it's strange.]

A mysterious frowned duck.

[Where did Earl Archduke go? Why can't I see it?]

[Well, that's odd to hear.]

That conversation probably means that the two of them don't know that the Earl has left Mullen yet. Robert was about to open his mouth to explain.

Flash!

The world was darkened.

Not only that, a massive shock wave rises from Far Away from Ferda and sweeps across the area.

“Lift all shields! ”

“Spirit! Raise a defensive perimeter! ”

Sernerek's warriors, who have noticed the defect, respond with a swift response. Fortunately, the range of shock waves was not very wide. After a while, a shocking sight spread as the cloudy dust cleared.

“· · · · · · · My world. ”

The thin, trembling eyes.

No. The undead, who filled the battlefield, disappear without a trace. Not only that. As soon as he saw ‘something’ in shane arcade's scarf, Robert was shocked to death by the resemblance of his heart.

“ · · · · · ·!? ”

It wasn't under some kind of spell. I didn't even look at it or get attacked by it. I was just looking at it, and the horror lingered over Robert's body.

[Oh, my God. How could something so horrible exist in the world?]

Meanwhile, beyond the crystal sphere, I heard a frightening voice. It was Earl Keshmif's voice. Even the so-called genius wizard is pale. Others had a much worse response.

“Whoo-hoo!”

“Huff! Huff! Huff! ”

Mullen's refugees were the most notable. The sound of vomiting echoes through the face of every death. Even some people fainted after biting the bubbles.

Robert's side, Serek, was no exception.

“Woof! Woof! ”

Serek sits on the floor vomiting.

He yells with a blue face.

“Ugh, ugh! This one, this one can't win. Sire! It's impossible to defeat that monster! ”

I slammed into a crooked tooth. His pupils were completely loosened and even his trousers were wet. Completely engrossed in fear.

“We need the help of the Holy Nation. If you don't, this battle will never be won! Even if all the magical soldiers of the kingdom come. Your Majesty, we must flee! ”

He crouches on the ground and grabs Robert's feet.

As usual, Serenk is nowhere to be found.

“D-, now's your chance to escape! We need to get as far away from them as possible while they're stalling! ”

“· · · · · · · Seric. ”

Robert bites his lip tightly as he looks at his roaring mouth. Because he was afraid, too. I wanted to do what he said right away. His instincts also warned him to run constantly.

“I · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

I was about to mutter something in a trembling voice.

You hear a dry voice from the crystal ball.

[That's amazing. Has there been a prosecutor of that size in the kingdom?]

It was the voice of Duke Setier.

At that, Robert turns to reflexively look back. It was a place of terrible beings, of all death. Then there was a man who fought equally with all death.

“Ser Ferda. ”

A beam of light flashes into Robert's eyes.

Lateral proximity of the alveolar arc. An incredibly skilled warrior who saved Robert and his investigators from danger at the same time. When I saw him struggling with his teeth, I suddenly remembered a word I heard earlier.

‘We will win anyway. ’

With a confident smile, Ferda said.

It was a strange thing to say, but the more I think about it, the calmer I calm down. Then the fear of wrapping around my body gradually faded.

“Serik.”

Robert regained his composure.

His gaze rests on the teary face of Seric.

“I'm not running away. ”

“Your Majesty!"

“I'd rather die here even if things go wrong. How can we call ourselves sovereigns if we abandon our people and run away? ”

Robert's face is bound together.

A moment later, he looks back at royal knights, including Serik, Jun.

“But you have no right to decide your own lives. So stay away from the body with Serek. It's better that way. ”

“I beg your pardon, Your Grace. ”

The royal knights, including June, knelt down.

“Our lives have been yours since the day we first met you. I will protect you until the last moment. ”

Their eyes glow calmly.

The eyes of death. Robert's eyes widen in surprise. But for a moment, he smiled.

“Thank you. I knew my eyes weren't wrong. ”

“Yes, that's right. except for one person. ”

Serik is trembling on the ground. Joon's eyes look at him for a cold chill. As Robert smiles bitterly, he hears the grumbling of Mullen's refugees.

“Yi, the Earl will be here soon to rescue you. ”

“Yes! We still have the Earl! ”

A small flame of hope was ignited.

Hope that spreads like wildfire soon. Robert's face, on the other hand, crumples. From the looks of that, even the refugees don't seem to know that Earl Archdut has escaped.

“· · · · · · · June. I'm gonna borrow this for a minute. ”

Robert snatches the necklace from Joon's neck.

A magic tool to increase the volume of your voice. With its teeth raised, Robert climbs over a collapsed wall. Soon after, he shouted in a loud voice.

“Listen! Citizens of Mullen! ”

Suddenly, the crowd's gaze flashes toward Robert. With enough gaze, Robert unhesitates and reveals his identity.

“I am Robert Din Laderon, Three Princes of the Kingdom of Laderon! ”

In a short introduction, the drinking grew as a result of the introduction.

“Wow, Prince? ”

“The prince is here? ”

Everyone is surprised. But for a moment, he felt relieved, one by one, in the faces of the refugees. I blame you for the fire of new hope on the news of a royal family.

But Robert had no intention of letting it go.

He spoke loudly.

“Regrettably, Count Archdut, whom you believe so strongly, has fled the estate today. ”

“ · · · · · ·!? ”

Stiffness in a hurry.

But Robert didn't want to stop. I had to make sure to change the flow. So he pointed out someone who would add credibility to what he just said.

“Isn't that right, Gilter Croven? ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The one who gave the order to retreat from Earl Archdut.

Guilty Croven, an apprentice knight, rolls his eyes. Soon after a lot of gazes were concentrated, Gilter spoke with a trembling voice.

“I, I, Your Majesty. Me, I don't have anything. ”

“Sir Croven. ”

Robert hangs up on Gilter.

“I'll take full responsibility. So please tell me the truth. ”

The eyes of the two boys were intertwined in the air.

Seeing his bright eyes, Gilter grips his teeth.

A moment later, he nods decisively and comes straight to Robert's side. Then I opened my mouth to the refugees.

“Well, I'm an apprentice knight, Kia, and Gilter Croven from the Silver Knights. ”

A very nervous face. Despite his stammering, Gilter calmly spits out everything he sees and hears. Because Robert wanted to.

Soon after the truth came out, the refugees were confused.

“Retreat, retreat." ”

“What are we going to do now? ”

The fire of hope disappears in an instant. I hear the cries of desperate men everywhere. Soon, as complete despair was left, Robert opened his mouth again.

“But it's time to despair. ”

Several refugees look up.

Robert clenches his fist as he faces the hopeless faces.

It's time to change the flow.

“My friend and ruler of the Serenek Forest. Silvan Archdut is staying here with the Sernerk warriors! ”

Before the battle began, something similar came out of Ferda's mouth.

But the goal was different.

“Only one of Erl Archdut's lineage remains here. To fulfill my duty as a nobleman! To protect you! ”

Ferda's purpose is to gain a cause and to make a name for herself.

Robert, on the other hand, aimed to turn the Earl's mind to reality.

If you are recognized as an heir by official documents, and you do not have enough to save the Earl, then your position will be even stronger if you take control of the people.

“So don't turn your eyes away. Watch closely! And judge. Who the true monarch of this land is! ”

Robert shouts in a loud voice.

Is it because of his fierce cry?

The refugees turned to the battlefield one by one. As I watched the battle unfold, I felt nervous and desperate in everyone's faces. Some sat down and prayed, some raised their voices and chanted the name of the reality.

Soon after, their aspirations turned into reality.

The balance of the tension of the battlefield is broken.

Ferda and Silvan begin to dominate the battlefield, and all death is gradually on the verge. Then the fire of hope, which I thought was completely extinguished, was revived.

Soon thereafter, at last, all death fell.

The shout of victory engulfed Mullen.

* * *

At that time, Royal Laderon's communications division.

Earl Keshmif, who was watching the scene beyond the crystal sphere, took a brief admiration. His eyes sparkle as if he had found a jewel.

“Silvan arcade. Dominator of the Serenek Forest. ”

A pair of eyes with deep curiosity and interest.

A startled cry erupts from his lips.

“What a surprise! I can't believe a commander with that much power actually exists. I knew this place wasn't called the Scarecrow for nothing! ”

Keshmif trembles with excitement. If anyone knew him, he would say, That reaction is to tell you that Keshmif was very surprised.

“That guy's got some unusual skills, too. ”

“Yes? Who? ”

“That young man over there. ”

Duke Setier points to the one visible beyond the crystal sphere. A young man with military blue hair. He looks at him and mutters in surprise.

“Well, how long have you been there? I don't think I've ever seen it before. ”

“Of course. I erased my existence completely. ”

The Duke's eyes glow with wonder.

“And swordsmanship is no exception. I can't believe there's a prosecutor like that in the Kingdom. I knew the world was still big. ”

Keshamif's eyes widen in response to the duc's response.

It was worth it. Because Duke Sethier was usually a loathsome compliment. So he points at the prosecutor and says the world is vast?

This was the best compliment the duc could do.

Meanwhile, Duke Setier's gaze was still fixed on the crystal ball.

A moment later, he opens his mouth and mutters.

“I hope to see you soon. ”

The duc's mouth, which was staring into Ferda's face, painted a faint arc.
