I Became the First Prince

I took off my helmet.

The northern characteristic saggy breeze rushes as if waiting. The face that ran up to the heat was instantly cooled.

The wind struck right after taking off the helmet was so refreshing.

But he was just a moment too.

When the soldiers' cheers subsided, their faces could not cool and became as cold as freezing.

I press and hold my frozen face, and I see a nice face.

“Your Majesty."

Vincent, my dear Winter Holy Spirit is before your eyes.

“Zecha."

I snuck out of the horse. Vincent approaches with his arms open, as if waiting.

Tight.

A strong arm hugs me. The body fluids and blood of the monsters on my body were not bad. I also hugged his shoulders with strength.

“I'm glad you're back safely. ”

It was a long, late reunion greeting, and it was a hard hug that was half frozen in the cold.

Nevertheless, it was warm.

I smiled with joy and gave him a hard time.

“Well done. ”

“Well done? Ha. Did you say" hard work "now? ”

Vincent's reaction to my greeting was unusual.

“Yes, it was a lot of work. It felt like someone was really going to die doing a retreat in the wind as they ran away with a lot of work. I had to listen to the monsters on the wall and listen to the papers. ”

As I waited, I retreated as I watched Vincent pour out his words.

Tight.

But Vincent didn't let me go.

“Now that you're here, you should get to work. ”

“I just got into a fight. ”

“Yes. I fought like that every day while you were away. with monsters and piles of paperwork. ”

I couldn't say a word because I was looking at Vincent with his shoulders tightened and his chin sealed.

“Your Majesty appeared on a non-dragon like that. I didn't think it would disappear. ”

“Sniffing away...”

“Oh, that's right. He didn't disappear. You met dwarves, you saw swords, you met Eli Confucius. You stayed for two days, and you left after everything you had to do. You're a good lookout.”

Vincent shook his head.

Before I left for Dothrin the other day, I stopped by the Winter Castle for a while and I still resented my disappearance.

“You should have told me when you came, when you went." Do you know how ridiculous I was when I heard you were late? ”

“You left a letter. ”

“Oh, that letter? I'll be in Dothrin Kingdom in about a year. If the letter was written like that, I got it. ”

I kept my mouth shut. I have to tell you, the seeds won't work.

And he shut his mouth, and took hold of the words of his wrath, and of his groaning.

But that's got to be something.

Vincent's nagging was really endless.

I send my eyes to the lone cavalry commander and rangers who stood quietly behind Vincent.

“Hmm. I forgot to check the status of the scorpions. ”

The lone cavalry commander turns around and talks to himself awkwardly.

“Are you recovering the arrows properly? Collect it as soon as you can! I know what arrows fall from the sky! ”

“It's right to fall from the sky. It doesn't rise from the ground. ”

“That's right... that's what matters now! I can't. I have to check it out for myself. ”

Jorden and the Rangers seem to have matched and disappeared.

The knights were already in the line of arms before I even sent my gaze.

“It seems that the Lord has missed His Majesty a lot. ”

It was Arwen who saved me.

"But since you've had a hard journey in Dothrin, and you ran and fought straight away, your fatigue will be great. I hope that the Lord will count this and postpone the meeting for a little while. ”

Vincent complained about that gentle solicitation. But he did not rebuke me and let me go.

“I climbed into the throne of the Lord, and all I could do was raise my voice. This is why I left my letter. ”

Vincent, who grumbles a little, winks at it again. I stepped behind Arwen.

Arwen sighs as she shakes her head.

“First of all, rest. Let the rest of the story come back later. ”

Vincent encouraged me to rest late.

Unfortunately, however, it was unacceptable.

“No, I don't have time to rest. ”

I looked at the side of the mountain range beyond the wall.

The monsters retreated, but beyond the walls, the presence felt in the distant mountains remained the same.

Huge enemies and anger are constantly scratching my nerves.

"Gather all the commanders. ”

Vincent looked at me with a dissatisfied tone.

“Right now. ”

* *

The commanders of Winter Castle gathered in one place.

It was a stiff face.

“First, let's hear the story. ”

Vincent looked me in the eye.

Now Jorden, the commander of the squadron, stands up and begins to explain the situation.

A sudden phenomenon, the turbulence of the monsters that started after it. And combat.

It was not unusual to see monsters go crazy in a winter castle fighting monsters every year.

There was only a sign that the eclipse was before the monsters' turbulence, and that the number and type of monsters that flocked were unprecedented.

"30,000. That's huge."

"I don't think you're the one who broke through with that enormous army a little while ago. ”

The commanders laughed at Vincent's words.

Although somewhat new, there was no fear of 30,000 troops anywhere.

Rather, they were full of jealousy.

It was closer to self-confidence than the former form of solidarity that was forced to survive the end of despair.

When I threw up a small admiration, Vincent said with a proud face.

“I've been preparing for war ever since. ”

He asked about the current troop situation in the winter.

Instead of describing it in words, Vincent handed me a document written in a subtle manner.

I quickly looked through the contents of the documents.

1 Ranger (1800 troops).

2 infantry squadrons (400).

1 artillery squadron (200 men).

Black Spear Soldier (104 people).

Winter Knights (112).

5 other Knights (484).

With more than 3,000 troops deployed, it was the winter power of Baleard.

That wasn't the end.

On the back of the document was a list of about two soldiers and three knights sent by the lords of the north.

Close to 7,000 troops, it was not just troops, but an unusually high proportion of knight power.

I deserved to have confidence.

“Here are four Swordmaster-class articles. ”

I muttered small as I handed over the papers.

The northern fortress, which was as endangered as a candle, had a huge flame that could not be drawn by the cold winter breeze.

I was so happy with the change that I kept my mouth shut.

I pressed my mouth and looked right at him.

The situation was not good enough just to be proud.

Winter was definitely stronger.

But the enemies of winter also became stronger.

I remembered very well.

The energy of the enemy who dyed a mountain peak red was familiar to me.

Tired of monsters, the fierce power of the dark green clan warriors, it was speculation.

It's not a hoarse speculation, it's a relentless speculation of the King's meteorological existence.

“Looks like the king of the Orcs has appeared. ”

Vincent looked at me with a stiff face in my words.

“Are you serious? It's not funny if you're joking. ”

I was young with a hardened face.

“I stuffed his head into the castle myself. You may have seen it when you came. The gate still has his head. By the way! That monster in the mountains, he's the one? ”

Vincent blames my rude remarks on how the dead are coming back to life.

It was a rush of anger, but I understood that anger for ten minutes.

Winter Castle was unwashable by the King of Orcs.

The lord lost his father.

Rangers have lost comrades who have spent years and decades together.

The knights lost their minds and had to live under the guise of running away with my lord on the battlefield.

Even the castle collapsed and became a floating north.

The beliefs and pride of the mission's retirement became worthless, and the glorious history of the forefathers was entrenched in the gutter.

In front of them, the king of the Orcs was a golden scroll that should not be put in his mouth.

They didn't burst into anger because it was me who put that cursed name in his mouth.

Just as they lost a lot, so did I.

“Explain.”

So they burst their anger and asked me for an explanation instead of holding the knife.

“Just as the king of men is not one, neither is the king of oaks. ”

The Warlord was the name of the monarch who led the battalion, among the qualified Orcs.

The Orcs had many kings besides the warlords.

He must have been one of them.

I was so sure.

“Did you say that a new king appeared after you killed him? ”

Vincent frowns with a frowny face.

My anger was gone, but my words were incredibly astonishing.

The King of Orcs, who had not existed for hundreds of years, appeared two by two at intervals of only three years, so it was not strange that he could not easily believe it.

I was not persuaded. I just waited.

Vincent gave me time to keep my mouth shut so that the commanders of the Winter Castle could take my word for it.

Vincent opened his mouth after a while.

“If anyone else had said that, it would have been bullshit. ”

It was an offensive turn, but the emotions in it were a clear belief.

“Damn it. I don't like the place. We should hit them all and move south. ”

Vincent blatantly speaks nonsense, looking at me.

“What are you going to do? ”

I answered without hesitation.

“We have to fight and kick them out. ”

The answer was set from the beginning.

Vincent nods. The commander took my answer as well.

Such anger and confusion no longer existed for them.

They didn't care how many opponents or whatever they were.

It was full of resolutions to destroy the enemy and defend the land.

My heart was pounding.

Their fire-like predecessors, who do not go out in the face of a harsh winter, have moved to me as well.

I pushed down the bow as I was about to burn.

It was something I shouldn't have run up to.

This was not Dothrin, and I was no longer a mercenary butterfly.

This was the kingdom I had to protect, and I was in a position to lead them.

The enemy had to be identified first.

If the King of the Greenskins were a warlord in the mountains, things would be easy to solve, but otherwise he would have had to defend himself.

The question was how to determine the identity of the man who crouched in the mountains, but fortunately for me, there was a way to find out.

Intercept the truth hidden in a lie,

He who had the power to penetrate the natural form without breakage was finally in the north.

The Witch of the Night.

If Ophelia had the power of [Shinan], she would have already identified him.

While Vincent and the commanders were seeking countermeasures against the monsters, I stood up quietly.

Then I immediately found Heirich.

Fortunately, she was waiting for me at the Winter Castle, not at the newly built Horse Tower.

A dark shadow fell under the wall, and the darkness in the corridor of the fort whispered to me.

Go to your master.

He whispered and guided me to her.

Ophelia was at the highest peak of the winter.

“Ophelia.”

She turns around looking somewhere beyond the snowfield.

An image of Heirich that reveals a delicate goal, not a human form.

I was hardened and flattered to greet her.

“You, my hand...”

Impressive fingers revealed outside the sleeve.

Originally there were only three fingers that had to be five.

I didn't have a baby finger and a ring. It was as if it had not existed from the beginning.

As usual, it's a glimpse of the truth that's not allowed to me.

She talked to me the other day.

The power of God is never the same as that of a cell.

Sometimes you have to pay for the weight of the truth.

I groaned.

For Madosa, the finger was never trivial.

The magic camp and the magic language they painted in the air were complex things that were difficult to complete with intact ten fingers.

But she lost two fingers.

There was no way that the magic camp and the magic words she drew would be the same as before.

Perhaps the speed of completion of magic slowed down, and perhaps there was magic that had been used before, but was now unusable.

Either way, the damage could never be small.

I didn't know what the truth was that I had to pay for it.

I'm curious. What I saw.

“Is it the past or the future that you saw? ”

I nodded and asked.

Past and future. It has already happened and at the same time it has not yet happened. That's some of the truth I've been peeking at.

The moment I heard that, I was convinced.

The fact that she even peeked at her finger in return suggests that the truth has something to do with the eclipse that happened a while ago.

The return of the old beings was close to the past, but at the same time a sign of the changes that will take place.

Want to know more?

He shakes his head.

Telling the truth to others was more costly than peeking at the truth alone.

I was very curious about the truth about the phenomenon that I didn't know, but I didn't intend to make her pay any more harshly.

I believed she would have told me first if she needed to.

Thank goodness. If you use force, you won't have time.

She smiled very dry.

Your interest now must be the presence of a king who crouched in that mountain range.

“He scattered my energy all over heaven and earth. You would have figured out who the owner of that energy is."

In my words, she stared at me.

I had no way of knowing what a faceless skeleton was thinking.

After a while, her jaw was less stubborn.

She was smiling.

How the same.

I asked her what was funny and what was the same.

Your question is the same as the first one.

She said so again and squeezed her chin.

My answer is no different either.

“What?”

Past and future. Existing or at the same time to be born.

She frowned at the same answer as her answer, but said something she didn't even think of.

Gruhorn. You already know him.

“Me?”

I've met him before. Even though you weren't human like you are now.

As soon as I heard that, a cold energy gushed out to the back.

He's just as old as you are.

I groaned.

The lords of the Dark Green clan, whom I personally met, are all dead. I watched his death with my own eyes.

Except for one.

Poor revenge who fought all alone and didn't know his name until the moment he died.

The existence to decorate the end of [the poem of vengeance] that became [the poem of the soul].

“Overlord. ”

Only that cursed great monarch was the only king I had never seen before.
