Count Scribe's Tutor

Chapter 79

War

The Second Prince, Sarphene, is dead, and the First Prince is captured alive.

Not all competitors disappeared, but that didn't solve all the problems. Robert still has two problems.

First of all, getting recognized.

Similar things have happened in the past. Only one successor left to succeed in the throne after the brothers killed each other. At this time, the new king received an oath of allegiance from a family.

The founding nation of Raderon together.

Since the Kingdom was founded, the family has always been neutral.

He was the Duke of Raganata. In other words, it was only by receiving the oath of allegiance from Duke Setier that he would be recognized as the king.

‘But. ’

It was a question of whether or not to swear allegiance.

Although I had a meaningful conversation before coming here, I wasn't sure it would lead to a pledge of allegiance.

But if you take the time to convince him, he will someday be able to.

Robert was the only royal blood that survived anyway.

That's why Robert paused for a moment and turned his attention to the reality he was facing. To confront the real big problem.

At that time, the door of the meeting hall opened wide.

Immediately two masks appeared and knelt on their knees. Ragni's informants continue to report in an urgent voice.

“I report, additional forces from Serrhaim have crossed the border. ”

“We have identified a number of siege weapons! ”

A big problem has emerged from the mouths of the informants.

The war against Sererheim is imminent. Robert's face hardened in a flash. I promised to end the war, but at this rate, it was a new war.

“Perhaps the Holy Nation intends to go to war with us. ”

Keshmif sighs with a stiff face.

With that muttering, the frustrating atmosphere heavily pressed against the meeting room. No one opened their mouths quickly. Of course. The war against Sererheim is inevitable.

Then, I heard an unexpected answer.

“You have nothing to worry about. because there's a simple solution. ”

The protagonist of the voice was Ferda.

Unlike the faces of others who were severely stiffened, his expression was only serene. Did he find hope in that? Robert asks in white.

“Can you tell us what you think? ”

“Yes, if you get rid of their cause. ”

“Hmm? What do you mean, you got rid of the cause? What's that supposed to mean? ”

Robert tilts his head.

It's because I didn't understand his answer well. Ferda smiles and quickly gives an unexpected answer.

“Hand over the 1st Prince to Ser Heim. ”

As soon as the answer was finished, a silent silence came to the meeting room.

Some people gasp with surprised faces. I looked at Ferda with my eyes wide open, not to mention Issha and Jun.

Robert was no different from the others.

“· · · · · · Now, what? ”

Did I just hear that wrong?

Robert bites back with a blank face. However, Ferda emphasized the word "First Prince" again, as if she had heard it right.

“There is a fundamental reason why Ser Jaime has dispatched an army. because his army wiped out the paladins. ”

This was known to everyone.

It was also the cause of Sererheim's war.

“Also, the enemy commander is asking for the death of Prince 1st, so if you hand over Prince 1st, the reason why Ser Ham's army will be stationed here will be lost. ”

Eliminate the plague that caused all the trouble.

Here is a summary of Ferda's argument:

“Finally, the first prince claimed all responsibility for himself. And I wrote a memorandum. So handing the First Prince over to Cereheim will solve everything. ”

As soon as he heard that, he realized why Ferda had gotten the memorandum. It was all prepared to support the current claim.

“I agree. ”

At that time, he raised his hand.

However, others did not raise their hands. I just notice everyone with a stiff face. Not long after that, Robert's lips sprouted.

“· · · · · · · You are the royal family of this country. ”

Robert turns his head with a low sigh.

If the cause of all this had been a nobleman, Robert would have listened to Ferda without much concern. But the First Prince is the blood of the royal family. That's why it was more likely to cause problems when handed over to Cereheim.

“No matter how much we've done wrong, we have to ask for our sins. We can't hand them over to another country. So what do the other countries think of us? ”

“You think you've made a bold and wise decision. ”

Ferda smiles and immediately beats him.

A rather bold answer stumbles upon Robert. When he shut his mouth for a moment, he thought of a rebuttal, Ferda's question followed.

“Why do you want to go the hard way leaving the easy way? Even if you can stop the war by handing over the First Prince?" ”

We can stop a war.

At that moment, Robert's shoulders twitch. Conflict has begun. Ferda digs hard without missing this gap.

“Your Grace, I heard you spoke with Duke Setyr before you got here. Did you not hear anything like this back then? ”

The subject of the starry tale went back to another place.

It broke Robert's mind as well. With hesitant blue eyes, Ferda opens her mouth.

“If there was a way to end the war without fighting Sererheim, what would you do? ”

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The moment I heard that, I felt my whole body's fur curl up. It was because the Duke's words came out of Ferda's mouth without a scratch.

How do you know that Ishana didn't tell you?

When all sorts of questions came up.

There was a sudden jolt of brainpower.

‘· · · · · · · Wait. ’

Ferda expects a call from the duc.

He also predicted which conversations would take place.

At first I wanted to know how I expected it, but now I think I know the reason for the confusion. After realizing it later, Robert rolls his eyes.

“No way. ”

“Yes, as you thought. ”

Ferda grins, revealing her teeth.

Upon encounter with this, Robert was convinced. The Duke has contacted us, and the conversation is all part of Ferda's plan.

“Surrender the First Prince and you will receive the oath of allegiance of Duke Setier, not only to stop the war. because the question itself is a test for the duc. ”

From the beginning until now.

Robert is always on the stage, built by Ferda.

Everything he had thought about and decided had already been determined by Ferda.

Then Ferda opens her mouth again.

“It's time to make a decision, Your Majesty. ”

It's time to move on as planned again.

That's what Ferda said. Robert shudders, instinctively afraid.

“I trust that you will make a wise judgment. ”

Faced with a pale look at Robert.

Ferda grins. It was a smile with many meanings.

* * *

Meanwhile, the time.

Sererheim's troops, stationed in front of the castle, were at large with the relocation. It was because he was going to join a soon arriving subordinate and then go straight for the second attack.

But something unexpected happened.

“Lord Eloden! ”

“Stop, the gates are opening! ”

The knights shout in haste.

Their report was true. The gate that was tightly closed was slowly opening. Eloden twitched her eyebrows unexpectedly.

Soon after, a series of hordes walked out of the castle.

Among them, there was someone who caught Eloden's eye.

A man with blue eyes and blonde hair. He looked like he had just taken off his T-shirt. Eloden mutters curiously, looking at him on a white horse.

“Who is that boy? ”

“Prince Robert. ”

Then I heard the answer right next to me.

He was a disciple of Eloden, Cheshire. He froze his eyes and explained to Robert with his gaze fixed.

“The third prince of the Laderonian royal family, famous for being a bastard. ”

The moment I heard this, Eloden's eyes narrowed.

I've heard it before. It was not uncommon for a bastard prince living outside the castle to enter the kingdom.

He recalls a memory he had forgotten, turning his head again.

“But why did the three princes suddenly leave the castle? ”

“I don't know about that. ”

He smiled awkwardly.

While looking out for the situation, his face suddenly solidified. Just like you found something you shouldn't look at.

After a while, cracks appear like crazy on a stiff face.

Her eyes shake like a violent wave and her shoulders tremble like an earthquake. As the calm Kosher trembled, Eloden was a curious figure.

‘What? What the hell did you see? ’

Curious, he looked at where Kershaw's gaze was headed.

In the place where I arrived, there was a little boy. A dark elf boy with silver hair and purple eyes. The moment I saw him, Eloden frowned reflexively.

The power he possesses is the opposite. It was because I could smell death.

Meanwhile, the boy's name flowed from his tightly clenched mouth.

“· · · · · · Actuals! ”

Voices of anger and hatred.

Along with this, Eloden understood Cushire's reaction.

‘Yes, he is.' ’

A war hero in the Kingdom of Laderon and a loser in the South. At the same time, the teacher of Eloden, the nameless cardinal, wanted to get rid of him so badly.

Wrinkled eyes narrowed.

Then there was a sharp strip in his eyes.

Overwhelmed

Someone walks forward, no matter what.

An article that appears to be from the early twenties. Approaching the center of the battlefield, he takes a deep breath. Soon after, he shouted aloud in a voice filled with magic.

“My name is June Harga! On behalf of His Holiness King Laderon, I present to the army of Serrhaim! ”

The moment I heard this, Eloden's expression became blank.

What did he just say? King of Laderon? Immediately after I got this far, Eloden tried to guess the situation of the Great River. And soon I came to a conclusion.

‘The civil war must be over. ’

A few days ago, the First Prince announced the death of the Second Prince.

The most powerful competitor is gone, so you can assume the civil war is over. So he wants to repair the kingdom and send three bastard princes to talk to him. Eloden guessed so.

“The king wishes to speak with Serrhaim's commander. If you have a commander, step forward! ”

Then the knight shouted.

Feeling the conjecture turning into certainty, Eloden moved on. After a while, he reaches the knight and opens his mouth with a stiff face.

“I am Eloden, commander of this army. ”

Eloden then emits a fierce aura.

To press the knight in front of me. However, the knight let his guard down. At that moment, Eloden realized.

That the knight has ascended to the minimum level of the sorcerer.

"Has there been such a young master in Laderon? ’

At that moment, I looked surprised.

The silent knight turns sideways. Then he bows politely towards Robert, and straightaway opens his mouth.

“Your Majesty, Ser Hame's commander has arrived. ”

The moment I heard that.

Eloden's eyes widen.
