Desire

Silence.

The sound of footsteps, the sound of iron, the sound of horse thumping.

That sound blends together. Ajin walks behind him. Right behind him was Mungyeong-hee and Je-gal-yeon, but behind him was Princess Jinhee and the cavalry. Three hundred horsemen on three hundred chariots are holding onto Ajin's back. Three hundred horses shake the ground even as they take a step forward, and the heavy footsteps of the horses with their bards on their bodies.

“Blood blindness is wide. ”

After arriving in front of the building, Ajin looks back. He was still carrying a backpack and did not lower. Arrogant, unparalleled gesture. It is rude to get drunk in front of the third princess of Jinsun.

“Wherever we're going now... there are 300 horses with bards on them. It's not big enough for 300 horsemen in armor.” “Provide a place to speak. ”

Jinhee straightens her head and says. She doesn't blame Ajin for his rude attitude, but that doesn't bend her attitude.

“Is there, my lady? I'll give you a good stable. Give her something good. ”

I didn't say anything against Princess Azino. The initial preemptive pressure is to not kneel. I was hoping the princess would be a stickler for me.

‘Maybe he's not as brainless as I thought. ’

There is little information about the Jinshan Dynasty. It is because few come out of the palace where the royal people live. I tried to use the Hao Moon to gather information, but I could barely gather it because even the vassals against the royal family didn't come out.

This is why it is very unusual for the princess to find the blood blind herself. The imperial family, who are not involved in most things and do not leave the imperial palace, has marched themselves to the bloody bloodline here far from the commander's office. The imperial car dealt with all major matters of Jinsun within the imperial palace, and the princess, who was neither a relative of the emperor nor a senior official, came directly to the bloodline.

‘I don't know what you mean. ’

Azin looks at the cavalry members standing behind the princess.

“Horses to the stables. Then what about the cavalry?” “I'll leave you with at least one escort. Five. Is that enough?” “Do you need an escort? I don't want to hurt her. If they wanted to hurt you, they would have. If I had, she would have been pooped before she got to the wall.” “You bastard! ”

One of the cavalry members shouts at Azin. He's been picky with Ajin for a while now. He grabs the spear and flashes his eyelight. Azin kicks his tongue out as if his gaze were not obvious.

“You keep raising your voice without knowing the topic. Why are you raising your fever?” “You're disrespecting the Emperor and Princess Jinhee!” “Rude? Consider this rude. The script did nothing, nothing. If she had, the princess wouldn't have been here. That's what the script said. And the princess is here. Why? Because the script didn't make up its mind. ”

Azin stares at the cavalry as he struggles. Azin's golden eyes flashed and glowed. The high-pitched horse flinches and takes a step back, terrified.

“But now... I want to change my mind. What will the princess do if she kills you?” “Don't. ”

Princess Jinhee shakes her head as she warns. She gazes at Azin with calm eyes.

“Bloodbath. I know that bloodbath here is your kingdom. As an envoy of the Jinsun Imperial Palace, I will accept that I am not here as the third daughter of Abama, but simply ‘envoy of Jinsun'. Do you intend to harm the messenger of truth?” If the princess teaches and rebukes the underling properly, I won't be there to discipline her. ”“ An avant-garde. ”

Jinhee opens her mouth. At that, his eyebrows flickered. The response to Jinhee's voice was the man who was dragging the horse behind her left.

There were no major features. Even the horse on the horse is unusually big compared to other horses, but it is not small. The horse's barding is no different than any other horse's barding.

The same is true of the man's armor. The monarch who leads the battalion, the Unique Cavalry, is‘ Psychology ’. He slowly steps down from the horse and stands next to Jinhee.

“Kill the commander. ”

“The commander was loyal only to the princess and the Jinsun Palace. I don't want to insult you for being killed by a landlord like that.” “Is that so? Squad leader, kill yourself. ”

Jinhee said that without changing her face. The shoulders of the comrade who raised his voice against him were trembling. The battalion master has placed a harp on the horse. Then I came down from the horse without hesitation.

“Suicide, comrade. Your loyalty to the Princess and the Jinsun Imperial Court was great, but the place was no good. The Princess will remember and declare that your death was an honorable death to protect the Princess and the Imperial Court. ”

Jinhee looked down at the squadron leader on her knees and said, The commander is silent and raises his hand to remove his helmet. A scarred face. He opens his hands wide and upward. Then I lifted my head and looked up at the sky.

“Long live the Emperor! Hooray! Hooray! ”

-Koong! As soon as the shout is over, the troopers drop their heads on the ground. A splash of blood and bribe splattered from his head. Immediately, the eunuch standing next to Jinhee reached out and stopped the impurities from splashing on Jinhee. Jinhee looked at the pain without changing her face, even though such a tragedy happened right in front of her.

“Will you forgive the disrespect of this mission?” “... I didn't mean to kill you. I was going to stop cutting off one arm, but that's too much.” “It is the Princess's role to discipline, not yours. So, bloodthirsty. How long are you going to keep this mission in the sun? ”

Jinhee stares at him.

‘Different.’

Ajin's expression of seeing Jinhee slightly changed. I thought of a flower in the greenhouse for the emperor's blood, the third princess, to come. I met the royal family in Azido Gracia. Sons of the emperor Gratia who died at the hands of Azin. Now only Hermione and the first prince Savirt are alive, but they were all flowerpots in the greenhouse and dreamers with no experience but ideals.

But Jinhee is different. Jinhee was superior to anyone else the Crown Prince of Gracia had ever seen, even though she was a woman. I know when to bend and when not to bend. You mean you didn't send her away for nothing. Azin nods slowly.

“Let's go.”

He backs away again. Ajin took Jinhee and five members of the battalion and escorted them to the reception room of the bloodthirsty elite.

“Bloodlust.”

Jinhee, who was seated with the guide, opened her mouth. She looks at the azin side, which is not yet seated, but does not raise her gaze.

“Organizations with the largest number of advanced forests. It's practically a place that rules the jungle. You said it yourself, blood oath. This is your kingdom.” You mean to tell me you've seen my kingdom? ”“ It's a good kingdom. ”

Jinhee said, Azin sits across from Jinhee. Transition fighters, including geology, stood up without sitting behind Jinhee.

“As king, you have complete control of the armies here. The waves were kneeling, but the Safaris were not kneeling. You mean your authority as a bloodthirsty beast is higher in here than the blood of the Pirate Imperial blood of Bourne.” What are you trying to say? ”“ You are a great king. I also heard about this princess. They say you're the best at what you do. Blood blindness, this great power is maintained because there is a blood blindness... where the blood blindness lies. ”

Ajin did not answer, but listened to Jinhee. Jinhee continued to talk.

“Truly speaking, you are the king of defeat. A defeated king who leads his soldiers on the battlefield, leading them off the battlefield, and slaughtering his enemies first. You're the one who can build it. You're the one with the most money in the world because bloodblindness can exist. The bloodthirsty soldiers trained under your king are strong enough to defeat a hundred of them.” “... I appreciate the compliment...” “But there are no people. ”

Jinhee said.

“All excellent soldiers. Soldiers who can fight on the battlefield right now. Blood oath, if you command it now, many of these blood oath warriors will draw their swords against the Jinn Empire. Do you want me to tell you what Princess Bon saw? Bloodthirsty beast. You are the king, bloodthirsty beast is the king's kingdom, and bloodthirsty warriors are a hundred strong warriors. But there are no people. There are no helpless people.” “... I don't know what that means. Soldiers are also people.” “No. Soldiers and people are different. People are strictly weaklings, protected by an army of soldiers and ruled by the king. However, there are no such people in the bloodline. There is only the king and the army. A nation cannot exist without its people. ”

Jinhee's eyes narrowed.

“Bloodthirsty, isn't small-time fun?” “... Haha! ”

Azin bursts into laughter. After laughing for a long time, Azin waved his head.

“That's a funny thing to say, my lady. Kidding... yes... Kidding! What a magnificent little prank. The princess said," The people should be protected by the army and ruled by the king as strict weaklings. "If that were the people, I would not put them in my country.” Then bloodthirsty armies are not kingdoms, but mere armies. If you want to be a general leading an army, and not a king, then this princess will accept you as well. ”

Percussion. Jinhee's hand taps the floor.

“Kneel down. ”

“... You joke too much, my lady. Do you really believe the five battalions behind the Princess? I am confident that I will send them to King Hwang in one piece, even if the Three Hundred Sentinels attack them all.” Hmm, is that so? ”

Jinhee smiles bloody at what Ajin said. She waves her hand, which hit the ground.

“Even with such insults, the bloodthirsty savage remains rational.” “Your Highness. ”

The gaze collides with each other. Jinhee's lips opened, looking at Azin's eyes for a long time.

“I won't ask you to kneel. But she meant what she said. Blood blindness is not a country. Because there are no people. You are worthy of defeat, blood oath, but not a defeated king. Without your country. But progress.”

Jinhee's words stopped. Jinhee, who once took a breath, spoke again.

“Jinshan is a huge country. There is a king, there is an army, there is a people. The army of the bloodthirsty may be stronger than the legion of the advanced, but you cannot be king unless you embrace the weak. But the true line is, the emperor, the emperor, the blood of the true imperial line flowing through my body. For hundreds of thousands of years, we have ruled this land, embraced its people, watered it when it was hot, provided sheets when it was cold, and provided grain to the hungry.” “... You don't think I can do him?” “You killed all the emerging safaris who disobeyed you. The Blood Lord's Bladers do not kneel in your trust, but the Rising Sages do not kneel in fear of you.” “Sometimes you have to rule with fear. Just like the princess killed the battalion commander.” His death was a glorious death. ”There is no honor in death.” “But he was satisfied and died. Thinking his death was glorious. You mean to tell me you're not honored to have the death of a fallen comrade? Speak freely, the scouts are dead. ”

Jinhee said that and laughed. Jinhee stopped laughing for a long time.

“Bloodlust.”

A slight smile appeared on Jinhee's mouth.

“Be an army of the advanced. ”
