I Became the First Prince
220. 64. Empty but full (5)
It took some time for the High Elves to reach the royal palace.
In the meantime, I found the king again.
Even if I refused the interview, the king allowed my request for an interview so easily that my concerns I might have wished to address were colorless.
“Are you here?”
The king who sat by the window in the sun smiled softly and welcomed me.
It was more like a turtle than awkward.
It was because the king's gentleness felt like the last affection for those who would be left before his death.
“Sit this way. ”
I didn't even know what I was thinking, and the king touched me with a smile.
I sat down and looked around for a while.
The sun is warm, but the king's bed and fireplace are burning with firewood.
The king's clothing was also a feather outfit that would be perfect for the winter.
Then the king shrugged his shoulders to see if he felt cold.
“I've heard all about Maximilian. ”
The king knew everything about Maximilian.
“I did a really good job. Who was there? Hadley, you couldn't have done better than you did. ”
I shook my head in the king's words.
I didn't want to make a public prosecution for the victory we all agreed on.
The dragon that I found the king was not to be punished either.
“Your Majesty."
“Say it. ”
“Show me the wound. ”
The king was flawed in my words.
"I thought you were on your way. ”
However, he quickly trimmed his face and stretched a lie to his face.
“If you're moving forward, there's no reason not to show it. ”
“I've already looked at the wounds of fishermen. What do you do when you don't have any medical attention? ”
“I have no manners in medicine, but I have tried to get tired of war. I also saw a lot of soldiers who couldn't heal their wounds in time and whose affected parts were rotting.”
“I can't believe those who fought for the Kingdom were not even healed in time, because I was virtuous. Tell the crew right away to do their best to treat the rest, and to take practical action against the exterminators...”
“Your Majesty.”
I cut off the serious king's words.
“I'm in this room right now, and my stench is shaking on the battlefield. ”
Then he said straightforward.
“Your Majesty's body smells like a rotten hallucination. ”
“I knew I had a lot of war that didn't fit my age, but I didn't think I had the unique talent to look at my wounds without even seeing them or smelling them. ”
The king left Shi Chi Mi to the end.
This was the end of the argument to confirm the illusion.
“Your Majesty.”
So I said in a purple.
“I am the king of this country. ”
“I know. ”
“I need to know your condition so I can prepare myself. ”
The king kept his mouth shut until he was somewhat exaggerated.
Once upon a time, he would have frowned and kicked me out.
But not now.
The king looked at me for a long time.
Then he sighed.
"Have you heard from Lord Schuhilde? ”
"I just saw a rotten wound and a bandage and I just got confirmation. ”
The king sighed again in response to my answer.
"If you've heard it all, why are you asking me to come and show you the wound?"
“That way I can be prepared. ”
“There is nothing to worry about, because I will do enough to keep you from getting dizzy. ”
I frowned.
I don't know what else this is.
Later I saw the king's face.
There was a complex emotion on my wrinkled face.
Minor coldness and anger,
A much darker repentance and reproach than that.
After seeing those depressing feelings, I realized that the king had misunderstood me.
The king must have thought I was talking about his succession.
Without it, I couldn't look at myself with such a miserable look.
“Not the preparation, the treatment. ”
I immediately corrected the misunderstanding.
"The serpent-like man is a sword stabbed with hatred and hatred. His hatred and hatred permeated the bone marrow. It was too late to turn it around."
“It's not too late. If you hold your breath, there is an elixir that can save even those whose hearts have been pierced. ”
“I've never heard of such a drug. ”
“It's not a human drug. ”
I told you about a drug called Nectar that the High Elves have.
“I could easily give you such a precious medicine. ”
The king, who heard all my explanations, asked.
“Make it for me. ”
There is a distinctive arrogance, but it was not my job to bake a high-elf who didn't have the charity.
The king laughed as he swore.
“If you had made the prince of the arrogant empire respond to the humiliating Old Testament, you might have. ”
The king said so and did not show me the wound.
If you don't believe the efficacy of the Nectar I told you about, I'd like to explain it again. The king looked at me and said,
“I don't believe you. If you were there, you would be. I also believe that its efficacy is no different from what you said. ”
“Then why...”
“It's a kite-free thing. ”
Then the king looked at me.
“From the north to the war against the Empire. I know how you fought and how you won. ”
I frowned at the stuffy words.
Seeing me like that, the king continued to speak.
“It was quite a number of injuries, preliminary injuries, and unconscious injuries. I also heard that all the breasts disappeared due to the mysterious harmony of climbing to Master's Land. But now I see scars all over me again. ”
I looked at my body without knowing.
Then he was astonished.
“When did this happen again...”
There was no scar on the back of the hand, forearm, or bare flesh.
If it was a scar, it would have gone badly when the body was reconstituted by the master.
“When I looked at you, I didn't even know that I was breastfeeding. I wandered the battlefield. ”
The king fills his tongue.
And I want to add a word.
“You will need that Nectar. ”
The Elixir of Knight Rehabilitation said, "Leave it for me."
I stopped frowning because I didn't even think about it.
“I've already made up my mind, so don't encourage me anymore. ”
The king laid a hand on me looking at me in the middle of nowhere.
I meant go out.
I went to the king several times to persuade him, but he didn't break his resolve to the end.
He just smiled bluntly and looked at me.
Just as I am extraordinary, trying to give up the treasure that everyone wants to covet.
He's dying right now.
“Now is the time to worry about the rest! ”
I used to run like crazy and scream alone.
But the tide didn't break a bit.
“Let's start with Nectar. ”
Eventually, I gave up persuasion and decided to finish Nectar's acquisition.
After that, if the king refused treatment, he would be forced to feed him.
And Gunne came back. The High Elf was with him.
"His Royal Highness, Idrian Leonberger, is greeted by the High Elf Arnaud of the Sioux. ”
The horse was polite, but his face was full of complaining colors.
I didn't know if it was because I left myself in the wire fort and didn't find him, or because my son-in-law who sent Half Elves as a Messenger didn't like it.
Looks like it was the latter side.
His gaze flickers for a moment.
At the moment of Charlna's death, hatred came to his eyes.
It's like I've seen dirty filth.
Then, Gunne's expression was somewhat stiff.
The snow she met with me, and she looked down.
I thought I knew what was going on.
The arrogant High Elf would have captured the bloodline and treated her like one. Knowing she was my messenger, he would have insulted me.
[Sorry.]
Gunne still lowered his head and sent me a sign language.
I sighed.
She did nothing wrong.
If there had been a mistake, I would have sent her as a messenger, knowing that there was an instinctive fear of the High Elves in her heart. I had no idea how big the fear was in her heart when she was raised by Elder High Elf Sigrun.
[I'm so sorry.]
She sent me an apology sign again.
“No, I'm sorry. Well done.”
Instead of being angry, I quietly tapped her shoulder.
I wasn't angry. I just realized how brave it was for her and the Sword Hee to point a sword at Sigrun for me.
“You can go now. ”
Gunne leaves the room with his head bent.
"Tsk."
I'm looking at the back of it, and I can hear the sound of kicking my tongue like I don't deserve it.
I turned my head.
A child who can't reach heaven is staring at the direction where the High Elves disappeared.
With an eye of hatred and contempt.
The moment I saw the look in my eyes, I decided.
It's a fair deal for him.
“Whoo."
I took a long breath.
A little, but the boiling deep sank.
“What's uncomfortable during your stay? ”
I formally asked the high elf.
“It was a time for the barbaric dwarves to feel the care and goodwill of His Majesty in almost every way, except to stay on the horizon. ”
I felt a lot of grief when I saw the words "caring and good faith."
It was natural.
If the stubborn High Elf can't even enter the castle and is comfortable living in a tent in an outdoor venue, that was strange.
Many dwarves dwell in the fortress's resistance and are treated with extreme treatment on a daily basis.
Knowing the complaint, I stopped pretending I didn't know.
“I'm glad you're comfortable. It must have been a little uncomfortable after the war. ”
His original purpose was to turn my heart to the elves because of Sigrun, and set the ball in the war to clear the debt.
But because of the end, he lost his chance.
I couldn't have been more comfortable when I failed my first mission.
“No way. I was just as pleased to see the triumph of the kingdom as the triumph of my clan. ”
I almost know the situation, but he's just as pretentious.
But I didn't want to see the pretence of a crooked fairy for a long time.
So I came straight to the point.
“What the High Elves want is a bridge with the Kingdom. ”
“More precisely, it was a communion with His Majesty, rather than a communion with the Kingdom. ”
“It's not hard. ”
In my words, the expression of the High Elves changed marginally.
Seeing such an elf, I threw the bait.
“But if we're going to talk about such important things, shouldn't my relationship with you become more monetary than it is now? ”
“This is what you are accused of. ”
And the clumsy elf bites the bait.
“All right. I see you've accepted. ”
“That's what you're talking about. What did I accept...”
Looking at the frowned face, I smiled.
“There's nothing like mixing swords to get to know each other. ”
High Elves have become ridiculous in my insistence.
“I don't believe that being a high elf will refuse the request of a human being, even a young human being. ”
“If you're worried about losing, hang on. I'll be gentle. ”
"The head of the Sword Squad will not be a coward. ”
A provocation that would not have worked if it had been another high elf.
However, the first High Elf to come across the world was a boy who had yet to learn how scary the world was. It was a thunderstorm who didn't even have the experience to hide arrogance and awkwardness.
"The Elves' sword is more bitter than they look. ”
After all, the High Elves, who were in Taunt, accepted the battle.
He and I were surrounded by court knights and stood face to face in the basement.
I turned my head again after seeing that there was a mix of court knights.
The high elf stretches his sword and looks at me. I was growing up with a sticky malice that looked like a tranquil fairy.
“Oh, really. ”
I said that I had just remembered that look.
“It's not fun to just fight, so we'll bet. ”
Here we go again.
You don't fight without betting anymore.
I ignored the words of the court knights in my ear.
“If you're afraid of losing, quit. ”
He frowned at my low quality provocation and asked.
“Which bet? ”
“One side admits defeat, or if you drop the sword, you lose. Let's listen to one of the demands of the victorious side. ”
“The covenant with the Elves is not light. ”
“Yeah? It's a coincidence. And I made a promise. ”
Arnaud raises his mouth arrogantly in my words. It was a blatant laugh.
A face that doesn't even think you're gonna lose.
I heard the court knights shouting again.
Earl Baleard was just as badly beaten.
The Duke of Tutton was the same.
You've had so much fun.
Hearing that, I shook my head small.
They and that high elf in front of them are different.
He's going to lose more than anyone else.
Tak-tak.
The high elf rolls his foot and starts to beat lightly. And I said,
(chuckles)
I stepped in between the beats.
