I Became the First Prince

245. 70. Foreword flows (3)

I woke up in my sleep.

Even though I just woke up, I was so freaked out.

I didn't know that my heart would sink, and I grew agitated because I didn't know.

He seems to have fallen asleep like this.

I woke up in bed.

“Mmm.”

I groaned.

There was no place that didn't hurt without arms, legs, shoulders, or back, and there was no place that didn't squeak.

I put a coat over it rather than looking at a body full of faint scars.

Then I left the room straight away.

“Your Majesty?”

An ambitious glance suddenly leaves the room, and the court knight who saw me opens his eyes.

“I can't sleep, so I'm going for a walk. ”

“But why the black...”

After listening to the Court Knight, I realized that I had Earth in my hands.

I can't even swing a sword if I can't sleep properly while walking. I picked up a great excuse.

“I can't follow you alone. ”

“The wind is choking. Please don't stay in the cold for too long. ”

The Court Knight opened the way for me without a doubt.

Then, after answering, I went to the garden of my palace.

I walked like I was possessed.

After wandering through the wretched spectacle of trees and grass leaves torn from the bayonet, I walked again and again.

When I woke up, I stood on the highest spire of the royal palace.

Chuck.

Thick fur hangs over the shoulders.

As Adelia turned her head and did not know when to follow her, she looked at me with the same face as always.

“I hate the same night. ”

She glances over my shoulder, nodding with a shrunken face.

I followed her and turned my head.

There was an invisible night sky, not even the moon.

I turned my gaze toward the far end of the darkness again.

I grabbed the handle of Earth without resting with my hands.

I could have waited that long.

On the other side of the dark plain, a small distant earth erupted.

A pile of horses with a red flag on the back.

It was a messenger informing the press.

A long time has passed since the messenger, who ran through the gate of the city without rest, disappeared between the buildings of the Kingdom.

At the bottom of the spire there was a commotion.

“I heard the prince is here! ”

It was Carls' voice.

Soon after, I heard a thumping sound climbing the stairs. And Carls shows up at the top of the spire.

“Your Majesty! It's a royal order to enter the Feud now! ”

I grumbled small, listening to the voice of Kars, who had hardened without a word before.

“I really hate the same night. ”

When I arrived in the Great War, all the major figures of the kingdom were already gathered.

Everyone was in a rush to find out where the ambush was.

“Your Majesty.”

“Are you here?”

The king welcomed me with a stone-hardened face.

I studied the surroundings with a small reverence.

A dark face, among other things, only Vincent was angry.

“Again, the posture of winter is perfect. ”

“So, I'm not questioning the status of winter castle. ”

Marquis Villefeld replied, sweating in the words of Vincent, who was forcefully angry.

“This is what I'm asking. Please calm your heart. ”

Despite the Marquis's words, Vincent was only cold-hearted.

"I just wanted to say that I needed to make sure there wasn't a very minor problem during the absence of the Holy Spirit. ”

Unlike usual, I found someone to explain the situation to Vincent, who set up a whole bunch of days.

“It's a minor matter. ”

While I was rolling my eyes, Vincent and Marquis' conversation was continuing.

“Do you know what it means to associate winter castles with monsters in the middle? ”

Vincent looked like he was about to explode.

“That's no different than saying winter has been pierced! ”

No, it actually exploded.

“In front of me, my lord! Did you tell him to look at me now and calm down! ”

Vincent pours his words towards the Marquis.

“That's not what I meant! ”

“Or that! Or what! ”

Marquis became increasingly frustrated by Vincent's unfathomable attitude. Vincent shouted without losing.

I was able to figure out the situation.

“Why do you keep listening to me?”

“Marquis."

And after judging the situation, I went out without hesitation.

Marquis looked at me. I shook my head.

And I turned my eyes and looked at Vincent. I asked Vincent to sink his anger with snow.

Vincent snaps at me rather than slip, and turns his head.

My insides are boiling, but I can't turn my eyes away from the tea. I can't help but feel angry.

“I heard there's a monster in the middle. Did I hear you right? ”

After clearing up the situation, I asked Siorin who had at least a calm face among the people here.

"Three of the villages of the Count of Branburg have been swamped. Earl Branburg sent a team of investigators, and they didn't seem to have any sign of anyone. ”

Siorin, who nodded, explained his absence.

The villagers in the entire evaporated village who knew where they had disappeared, the investigation team searched everywhere and found someone who thought it would be difficult to find them.

“A resident is a resident. The one who's assumed to be a resident is something else. ”

“I found it, but it wasn't alive, it was a body. However, he said it wasn't easy to find out if he was a resident because he was so cruel. ”

Siorin added a word with a somewhat shrunken face.

“Something must have ripped it off...”

“Count Branburg thought it was the work of a monster. So I was worried that there wasn't a problem in the defence of the North, so I overpowered the messenger. Did I get it right? ”

“Not more, not less, just as His Majesty said. ”

I frowned at Siorin's answer.

There was always no way to miss an ominous feeling.

It was a damn thing.

I saw Vincent again.

Still no anger sinking.

I empathized with Vincent's fury for ten minutes.

Even when I was staying in the palace in the warm sun and talking to the king about what had passed, Vincent was chatting with monsters in a harsh fortress, chewing on past plagues.

Vincent's feelings for the royal and other nobles have not changed a single threshold since that day.

If I hadn't stayed in the royal palace, I wouldn't have fought the battlefield with the Empire, and Vincent would have come to the royal palace and given me a veterinarian.

It was natural for him to be angry because his feelings for the kingdom were so bad in front of Vincent, and Marquis said that he was associated with monsters in the middle of winter.

Because the king knew that, Vincent would have stood still while raising his voice in front of me.

Marquis would also not have known such circumstances.

But since the matter is a matter of concern, I cannot be cautious. I will be forced to stand up and suffer Vincent's wrath. Maybe he took the grudge on behalf of the king who owed it to the Ballerhards.

“Marquis. I forbid any mention of winter castle since now. ”

Even assuming the will of the Marquis, I had no choice but to take Vincent's side now.

As I am now, it was best to seal Marquis's mouth to prevent Vincent's silent feelings from boiling again.

“Your Majesty, this is an important matter with the comfort of the kingdom. I don't know your trust in the Holy Spirit, but given the seriousness of the matter...”

“I don't say it twice. If anyone doubts the status of winter castle here since this time, I will not tolerate it. In the first place, the defenses of winter castles were not so shabby. ”

I said decisively, cutting off the Marquis' words.

“The monsters that invaded Count Branburg have not flowed through the North. ”

Those who were gathered in the Great War saw me for a while.

“There will also be no villages like that in the Count of Brandenburg alone. ”

I was convinced.

This is just the beginning.

What happened in the Count of Branburg will be reproduced from all sides.

All things that are not men will appear, and will tear the flesh of the helpless, and drink their blood.

The impoverished and cunning creatures, incomparable to man, will tear down the castle of man and burn it down.

And they will build their own kingdoms by piling up the corpses of men, gathering the ruins of the ruined castles and cities.

“How could you...”

In my words, the people of the kingdom shrugged their faces.

“It's just a shame. If I had a little more time, I would have been better prepared. ”

The arrival of non-human things was much faster than I expected.

Now, only the silver lions and the wire harnesses have gathered, and their swords have only just begun refining.

It was unfortunate and so sad.

But not everything was just as bad.

“The monsters that lived on this land 400 years ago were dried up. ”

I saw Vincent.

The Balahard clan, whose blood they had shed for hundreds of years, penetrated the walls and became a solid fortress that could not be broken.

“The survivors have been driven to the north, and by now they are stuck in one stronghold. ”

Pay tribute to their dedication and sacrifice.

“It's relatively recent to slaughter a warlord and a great monarch that could have been a big threat. ”

I pay tribute to the victory they have achieved.

Vincent shrugs with a proud face in my eyes.

I continued to speak more about it.

“Because of that, our kingdom has significantly fewer twists than any other region. ”

This land, once the most dangerous place in the world, is now the safest place, so the grin of that terrible irony seemed to burst.

“If it's in another area...”

“It's an empire, and there will be chaos everywhere without you. ”

Seeing them hardened, I told them the law of the world to come soon.

If you don't fight and win, you will die, and if you don't stop it, you will perish.

The people of the kingdom saw me.

Some with sharp eyes, as if to conceal truth and falsehood, others with worrying eyes already from the beginning, and others with just solid faith.

Everyone was looking at me.

Then I turned my head to the king rather than face them.

He looked straight at the king and said,

Send a messenger to all the nobles of the kingdom to prepare them for danger.

“Allow me to go to the palace. ”

And then I added another one.

“I will boldly tell those who have invaded the kingdom who are the owners of this land. ”
