A few weeks before Yurius left Fort Valdes.

“What? Another failure? ”

You hear a slight frown in the Southern Temple.

Zamir frowns slightly.

“I'm afraid I have no choice but to report this to the Archbishop. ”

Failure to assassinate and destroy the pride of the Church is not once. Even though he is quite a prestigious figure, there will be few reprimands.

‘But he's a very lucky prince. I can't believe the reinforcements came in that situation. ’

Of course, he can't help but think that Yurius hid his skills. However, it is too late to dispatch an assassin again, and once inside the Imperial Palace, it is almost impossible to secretly assassinate the Emperor.

‘What should I do... …. ’

He took the blame and wrote a report to his superiors. And I think about it.

“Yurius, First Imperial Prince? ”

As he mutters to himself, he suddenly gets up and prepares to leave.

“Priest?"

“I'm going to vacate the temple for a while. Take care of the reports in the meantime. ”

As she laughs, she looks at him tapping on his back, and his partner sighs.

‘Looks like you're interested in the First Imperial Prince or something. ’

Zamir is a high priest of the Church at a young age, favored by archbishops. That movement has a reputation within the Church. And more importantly, his identity!

The cult was spread out like a spider web around the world, but it was lined up with considerable numbers of powerful people, especially in the southern part of the continent.

In addition to being a high priest of the Church, there is another identity.

‘On this occasion, I want to meet that Wallace and see if he's worth it. ’

Identity on Zamir's surface shouldn't be difficult.

He walked out of the temple with a glancing smile.

* * *

“Marquis Wallace, I've been emphasizing that. ”

“You've heard the latest rumors about King Yurius? I'm sure you'll be very proud as a patron. ”

“Haha, why is that my fault? It's all because you're a wise man."

Nowadays, the faces of the Imperial officials do not know how to smile. Mareus has been absent for years because of the road construction, and the deterrence of the Grand Duke is getting worse.

Without the emperor's power to back them up, they would have been pushed out of the center of power immediately. Yurius' recent performance has greatly increased the Emperor's position.

“Then we'll see you tomorrow. I'm glad to see you soon. ”

After finishing her work in the imperial palace, Wallace returns to the mansion and sits facedown in a chair.

"What a proud patron you are! I'm about to lose my neck! ’

Wallace seems to be sitting on a spike every day these days. First, it's news that Yurius has found a foothold in the North, and most importantly, it's those damn Assassins or something.

"They won't cut me off for eating money! ’

I've sent you an assassination quest twice, but there's no news. No, the fortress is locked and not answering properly.

[There may be other actions at the top.]

That was the only message he received, and Yurius said he was returning home with an unusually large specialty, rather than dying.

Wallace felt his blood dries up every day because he had committed a sin.

But today was also a moment of concern.

“Your Highness, you have a visitor from the Southern Desert. ”

“In a desert kingdom? ”

Contact with the Desert Kingdom is not uncommon for him who runs the Merchant Guild. However, he rarely made it to the capital himself.

Quite an identity to report directly to him. Wallace stands up with a curious look on his face.

Have you come to ask me for a deal in the desert? ’

* * *

Earl Perez still has no heart to grieve beside Yurius today.

“Your Majesty, is there any discomfort on your journey? ”

“Well, soon Stefan, no big deal. ”

Now, the North has stabilized a lot, so there are also a lot of Node Cities that can stay in the middle. It's a good thing the troops were moving slow, but it gave them time to train.

And the more I trained, the more I felt.

‘The deal with the Blue Dragon Merchant Guild has become more important than I thought. ’

What he paid to see the breaths of the Blue Dragon, Lee's legacy, was his share in the distribution of the Diet Mine. No matter how far east they are, they will have some answers.

Yurius had not been lazy before, but had spent most of his personal time in training.

[Skill of White Lagoon Breathers is increasing.]

[Skill level has increased. Currently, White Tiger Blade Skill 15%]

In addition to simply raising his senses and defense skills as described in the system, the new White Lagoon Escape Machine he gained contained information about the performance of the Player's Hearing Gate.

Yurius was taken aback by the interpretation of the secret.

‘I can see why he was called the King of the Almighty. Amazing!'

Yurius interpreted that the Sapphire, including the White Tiger Blade, was a four-piece piece piece piece piece of the maneuver.

Even though each piece was perfectly cooked, it was quite effective, but he had no idea how much benefit it would bring compared to an ordinary unmanned person.

‘Whatever it takes, we must collect all the legacy. ’

Loaded with such thoughts, three Imperial forces, led by him, arrived back in Stefan.

“The First Prince has arrived! ”

“Whoa!! Long live the Crown Prince! ”

The crowds of welcoming citizens crowd in front of his gates. His specialty in the North is known to no one in the north of the Empire.

I think the welcome scale is much bigger than I expected. ’

Stefan has made remarkable progress in his years on the northern front. He too will serve as a bridge between the central and northern empires.

With the development of the north, it has now grown to the size of the chaotic central metropolis.

Yurius passes between hypnosis and flowers sprinkled on the side of the road and is quite proud. According to his previous life's memories, he was executed just a few years ago, badly insulted in the central plaza of the capital.

‘Anyway, I don't feel bad. I think I know why Avamar cares so much about his people. ’

This is a fervent vision I have never received as an emperor. Yurius waves to the citizens at the front of the procession and heads to the center of the city.

“It's late, but I really appreciate it, Your Majesty! ”

“Mareus! It's been a long time! ”

After arriving at Stefan's mansion, Yurius leaps over the horse and hugs his labor force.

He was a light (?) Greetings, but it seems a bit difficult for him.

“Oh, this old man is going to die, Your Majesty! ”

“I noticed that you have more wrinkles. Tsk... Isn't it time to retire? ”

Yurius makes a good four-year-old joke to a grumpy Mareus, but he has a different mind.

‘But you have to work for me for five years... or ten more years. ’

But Mareus' mouth pops out of nowhere.

“I see. Divine fortresses are not the same as they used to be. It was time to choose a successor. ”

What are you talking about? ’

Yurius is quite bewildered. What does this old man mean by his memory, that he'll be pecking him hard for the next five years or so?

“Anyway, take the palace. I have prepared your order. ”

“I see.”

Mareus leads him into the palace without hesitation.

“The three armies you brought have been arranged inside the city. ”

Once the story ends about the treatment of the accompanying knights and soldiers, we finally get to the point.

“The development of the Diet Mines is being discussed by the Administration, but the mining is actually for the immigrants, so it's not a big deal. ”

“As expected, it's about distribution. ”

“Yes, and the problem is that Wallace is lobbying for a few of his associates. ”

"Well, that greedy fox deserves to be turned upside down."

The Blue Dragon Merchants Guild has already taken most of the North's merchandise, but Wallace is not the least influential person in the Empire's merchandise. I think I'm going to use all the resources I can to get my hands on the Blue Dragon Merchant Guild's profits this time.

“I'll see what I can do about it in the capital. ”

There was an assassination, and Wallace had a fairly old grudge.

“If His Majesty decides to settle this, I'll trust this old man and wait. ”

Mareus gets over it, too. The development of the North itself is the idea of Urius. It contained the belief that I would solve it somehow.

“We've also prepared a second contact with the Blue Dragon Merchant Guild. ”

He doesn't have much time to report to the capital. Contact is scheduled for tomorrow night.

Yurius smiles satisfactorily. Multiple requests were made, but Mareus' work was always clean.

“Good work. I'm always sorry for you. ”

“And there is one talent I would like to introduce you to. ”

“ ……? ”

Mareus asks you to bring a young man before Yurius asks.

“This one was introduced by Dept Gnome. Say hello to the prince."

The young man is a man without cotton for Yurius. What is unusual is that he bows his head politely in a calm manner even though he first greets the prince.

“It is an honor to meet the Crown Prince. It's called Byan.There is no last name because it's a commoner. ”

"Byron?"

Yurius was surprised at the name of this young man he had not thought of.

“Are you from Simon's Kingdom? ”

This time, Byron's face is slightly stunned.

“That's right.”

"Huh... You must really be that billionaire, huh?" ’

“Haha. I heard a rumor when I was at the Academy. I hear you're one of the most prominent minds in the administration. ”

“Your Royal Highness, you know my humble name. ”

I never thought I'd get another one of these. I can't believe that bien came under Mareus.

Yurius is quite astonished inside, though he may have been overwhelmed.

“You know his name, don't you? It was recommended strongly by Deepet Gnome, but he's young, but he's got one skill. I guarantee it. Haha."

All hail Byeon!

He is from the Kingdom of Simon, a small country in the Western Union, who will be named one of the most prestigious names on the continent.

With the title "Ten Thousand," his talents are in financial management! When he touches it, he makes money by squeezing the budget no matter how hard he lives.

Thanks to his ability, Simon's kingdom, which was once a small country in the Western Union, will emerge as the richest country in the United Nations in about a decade or so.

"If he's my man, it's a good thing."

But there is one question.

‘No matter how good the Dean looks at me, do I need to send a talent like Byeon here? ’
