I Became the First Prince

217. 64. Empty but full (2)

I'm confused by the rest of the situation, which I didn't expect, and the king holds me even harder.

I can't do this or do this, and I just squirm my hand.

Then I slipped my body.

This is a force majeure.

I can't sow the hand of the returned king with my limbs still.

That was it. Really.

It was only so that the awkwardly stretched arms were swung up.

The king will be awkward if I stay so calm.

I scratched my hand as I lifted it.

A vivid scent dug out the tip of my nose.

A medicinal scent that can't be masked by the dry body odor and dirt that is unique to the North.

Ugh.

Immediately, the king retreated with his hands on his shoulders.

“Well done. You've done really well. ”

No sudden hugs, no cold talk. It was all an act that I would not have done if I had been the usual king.

I looked at the king with my eyes wide open because I didn't know where it was.

Queen's postmortem white counted hair, wrinkles that have doubled in just a few years.

His eyes were bright, but even his complexion was not good enough for me now.

Knng, knng.

I sniffed with my nose.

Beyond the smell of medicine, there has been a faint odor.

“Ah..."

I stiffened as I was.

“Lungs…"

“Your Majesty.”

Someone called me, trying to put a full question in my head.

Earl Schuhilde Schutgart, the court knight commander who served as king to the Empire.

He shook his head quietly.

Not now.

The sunken eyes were telling me so.

“Let's go inside. ”

Then the king grabbed my hand.

“I salute His Majesty the King who has finally returned safely from the expedition! ”

“His Majesty the King and the Eastern Legion salute the victory! ”

I just followed the king as the Maximilians and the nobles of the kingdom heard the shouts of knights and soldiers.

* *

“I need to take a break. ”

The king passed the royal boulevard and went straight to the residence as an excuse to enter the royal palace.

Maximilian, Marshal, and Siorin.

No one questioned the king's actions.

I noticed that the king who had returned from the long expedition only felt solidity.

“Now that His Majesty is back, the negotiations with Tutton will be over soon. ”

“I don't know how pleased you are to be back. ”

When I heard the conversation between Marquis Villefeld and Siorin, I retreated.

“Brother...? ”

Maximilian recognizes my departure as a ghost and calls me, but I turn my back instead.

Then he went straight to the king's precipitation.

“Your Majesty is exhausted by the long expedition, and has just taken to the water. ”

The Court Knights are blocking me.

“Get out of my way. I have a message for you. ”

The court knights had a hard face, but there was no color to open the way.

“Your Majesty has ordered no one to enter... Your Majesty! ”

As the court knight roars, I mobilize to Mana, piercing through the paper and opening the door of the precipitation.

Inside, there was a king sitting on the bed.

The king who betrayed the top. A body with a white bandage wrapped around it.

As I watched him quietly, the court's reasoning surprised me.

“Your Majesty...! ”

I ignored the fish and walked straight to the maid next to me.

(chuckles)

And I grabbed the basket she was holding in her right hand.

I opened the cover.

Aggravation.

The smell stabbed me in the nose.

It was the smell that I smelled in front of the gate.

But what was important now was not the smell.

There was a bandage full of dead blood and pus in the basket.

“Explain.”

I turned my head.

“What is this bandage and what is this pus and dead blood? ”

A bored white fisherman stares at me and lungs at me.

“What are you going to do because you harass fishermen? ”

Then the king's voice was heard.

Unlike what I heard in front of the gate, it was a very hard and exhausting voice.

And a king, as exhausted as his voice, shook his hand.

“Everybody back off. ”

At that point, the fisherman hurriedly lowered his head and left the position as if he were fleeing. The court knights who stood at the door and couldn't help but close the door disappeared.

Until then, I was still looking at the bandage wrapped around the king's body.

“Why didn't you enter the middle of the enemy's territory and take care of your wounds? That's enough of the sea. ”

Seeing me like that, the king said ferociously.

“Did you wish you had been conscious enough? ”

“You look surprised to see me like this. ”

The king smiled softly, not according to the situation.

“The wound was somewhat severe, but it's getting better, so don't worry about it. ”

A lie that even a child wouldn't believe.

I saw it with my own eyes.

A bandage of black blood and pus could never be buried in a healing wound.

Black blood and pus were rotten hallucinations.

“Your Majesty..."

“Soon there will be no trace of these wounds. ”

“Your Majesty."

“So you have nothing to be afraid of. ”

“Your Majesty!”

A new voice that I don't know has risen. But the king did not scratch a single eyebrow.

“Many died. How can they close their eyes because the writer, the king, is stricken with a small wound? ”

Looking at that brutal face, a thousand fires came up from the inside.

“It's not a small wound! ”

I couldn't take it anymore and shouted.

“Now that I'm alive, I'm ready. Now that you're back here, that's enough. ”

What became, what was enough, and I was just as desperate.

“Your Majesty..."

“That's tough. I need to take a break, so get out. ”

Then the king lay on his bed and closed his eyes.

And soon he began to exhale.

I stayed there for a while. Then he left the king's cottage without strength.

“Your Majesty.”

As I stepped out of the bedroom, Court Knight Captain Schuhilde Schutgart was waiting for me.

“I think you'd better move on. ”

Bara, I led him straight to my palace.

“Don't let anyone get around here from now on. ”

Kars Ulrich looked at me in the words of an old knight.

Nod.

I nodded and Carls immediately led the court knights to close my palace.

“Your Majesty knows best, but he's the next court knight commander, so he's an untouched man. ”

Normally, I would not praise my articles, but not now.

Instead of hitting a match, I walked in and locked the door.

Then I asked the old man.

“The non-dragon knight told me that you are safe. Did the non-dragon knight tell me a lie? ”

Jean Kathryn has told me many times not to worry, since both the King and the Eastern Legion have been rebuilt.

But the king, who was fine, could not even touch it, and the wound decayed and returned.

I had no choice but to think that Jean Kathryn lied to me.

“The non-dragon knight didn't tell a lie. Your Majesty's injuries have occurred since then. ”

The Court Knight Commander explained the situation to me with a firm face.

Immediately after the assassination of the First Prince of the Empire, the Royal Army and the Knights of Changshang have already raised more than the objectives of Sogi. It is said that they began to withdraw.

However, the Emperor moved the elite troops and knights of Yeha, and the power of the Burgundian Emperor was not enough. There was a fierce battle.

The Knights of Chang and the King of Dothrin were able to open the way because of their remarkable stature, but the sudden change of circumstances forced the Knights of Chang to leave the Royal Army headquarters.

“We have an intel that the Empire's fleet, which preserved power from the firedragon's turbulence, is on the move with the kingdoms' wires. If I was wrong, the Eastern Army would remain isolated on Empire soil. ”

After dragging the enemy deeply, the Empire army's tactics to block the retreat and compel damage to the enemy remained unchanged 400 years ago or now.

“Once the Knights of Spear and the Monarch of Dothrin rushed away from the base to stop the Empire's fleet. ”

If there was anything else, the non-dragon knights were with the kingdom.

However, the empire, which had already suffered enormous damage from non-dragon knights, could not have considered the existence of non-dragon knights.

“It was a trap.”

“As your majesty said. Soon after the Knights of Chang left, the Imperial Army's aggression became even more severe. ”

As expected.

“We weren't expecting this either, but it was impossible to return to the kingdom without a ship, and we were forced to do so, as you know. It was a struggle. It was unbelievable that so many troops had returned alive. ”

The Court Knight Commander, who paused for a moment, looked at me with a complicated face.

“It wouldn't have been possible if His Majesty hadn't been here. ”

The eyes of the old man, who speaks so much, became obscured.

* * *

The imperial army that came in this morning knocked on the royal army without rest.

It was only a matter of time before the King and the Brain came to command.

“Your Majesty! It's time to step back! ”

“Surrounded by more enduring enemies! ”

The nobles scream elongation.

Their eyes were filled with terror as they watched the troops surrounding the command greet the Imperial Army and receive their swords vigorously.

“Not yet!”

But the king silenced the churches near their shrieks.

“If we leave now, our retreating allies will fall! That's what the enemy wants too! ”

The king leaned on the protest and let go as it was.

Whiskey.

An Imperial Knight raises his shield and blocks the arrow.

An elite knight-down response from the Emperor of Burgundy.

However, the court knight of the Kingdom was also an elite warrior who suffered both prenatal and postnatal injuries.

The court knight did not miss that brief gap, but shoved his sword.

The Empire Knight fell with blood sprinkled.

The king again flew into protest.

Then one of the nobles stopped him and shouted.

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty is not a retreating ally, what your enemies want! Your Majesty doesn't know that! ”

“It's not important to slaughter the Empire Knights by shooting arrows now! ”

No matter how urgent the situation may be, remarks exceed provincial boundaries.

“Watch your horses! ”

The court knight leader, Count Schuhilde Stugart, who cut off two enemy knights in a single sword, shouts in a furious voice.

Normally, the nobles would have fallen back because of the old knight's incompetence, but not this time.

“If King Hye-in is blurred, you don't have to correct him! Why, I'll just do the veterinarian! ”

One of the aristocrats stood up and rebuked him.

“Do you really want to die! ”

When the old man shouts back and forth to live, the noble shouts without losing.

“I want to live like this! I still don't know! Destroy everything that goes like this! Why don't you know that? ”

Rather than speaking to the court knight commander, he shouted to the king.

Whether the nobles are in trouble or not, the king who tried to blow the arrows only stretched his bow.

“Peha! We have to back off! Otherwise they're all dead! You're an ally and we're all going to die! ”

“You're not going anywhere. ”

The king said he saw nobles who used whale evil.

It was a creepy, dry voice.

“What's that supposed to mean...”

I heard the sound of the trumpet from afar, as the nobles frowned at the sound of a wild horse.

“Your Majesty! It's a sign that Count Wiloden and the Wires are all safely off the battlefield! ”

The old man immediately reported to the king.

“There were others. ”

“Most of them have left the battlefield or are about to leave! ”

I couldn't stand the bird and the nobles intruded.

“All you have to do now is walk away from us! ”

“All those who delay will die! ”

The king suddenly laughed coldly at the nobles' chanting.

“Neither will it be bad. ”

The king's voice is clearly heard in the midst of the disturbance.

“Lungs, Your Majesty? ”

“What are you saying...”

The nobles asked the king with a frozen face.

“It would be better for them to die in this place if they were to survive. ”

“Your Majesty. I don't know what you're talking about...”

“I thought you guys weren't guilty, so you still had that neck. ”

The king said in a cold voice as if frozen.

“It's easy to bite your head off by asking for your inner sin, so that you can leave the blame on the royal family in the hearts of the people who are going to live for the kingdom. I hope that my father's sins will not be borne by the equivalent of the future prince, so I saved you. ”

“Your Majesty. The time has come for such a past...”

“Let's get out of here! I'm going to die while I'm here! ”

One of the nobles shouts, and turns around.

But he couldn't move a single step.

One day, the court chiefs and court knights surrounded them.

“I'd rather die fighting here than live to be a child. Then your children will be treated as faithful children. ”

The nobles were frightened and cried out.

“Can't you see the Empire Army in front of me now! ”

“If you hold on like this, you won't be safe either! ”

The king looked at those nobles and said,

“The sea I was hoping for. ”

The Imperial Army made it to the front of the nose, and the king was so calm.

“In retrospect, my only reckoning was surrender and compromise. If that happens to me, I am no match for the kingdom of Guangyoung, where opportunists will once again be taxed. ”

But it wasn't.

“The only thing I can do for that child is to leave with people like the Lord of the Kingdom. ”

Naturalization was burning in the king's eyes, which seemed serene.

“I and you will die here today for the future of the kingdom. ”
