I Became the First Prince

I'll tell you where the owner is.

I was going to take the price of blood from those who came to this land and harmed innocent people without permission.

There was also myself.

I've been preparing for the same day as today. I haven't finished preparing perfectly yet, but at least I've grown enough strength to wipe out the non-human things that will happen on this earth.

By the way,

“Not possible.”

The king did not allow it.

“Your Majesty!”

I was dumbfounded by an unexpected answer and shouted.

“It's something you can do if you don't. ”

In response to the hesitation of one cheek, I was persuaded of why I should go again.

I've been cutting knives in anticipation of a day like today. Explain the plan right now, you can explain dozens of measures, and if you go out there and wipe them out, you can see the end faster than anyone else.

“I can do anything else, but I assure you, no one can do better than me. ”

In my words, the king nods.

“Maybe you're right. No, Philly, you're not going to be wrong. You've been strangely obsessed with old history. ”

“So...”

“But!”

Half-colored, the king added.

“I will not allow it. ”

“Why!”

When he asked why, the king looked straight at me and asked me:

"If something terrible and dangerous happens, can you stand up and solve it yourself? ”

I could do it, but what else I couldn't do? I kept my mouth shut trying to ask.

“Whenever such bad news arrives, do you always want to squeeze the sword and push it out? ”

The king's eyes were asking me more than words.

“Is this a weak country that you cannot overcome without a little tribulation? ”

I listened to King Quietly with my mouth shut.

“I'm not blaming you. ”

Softened face.

“I do not know that you have fought so alone, because the royal family is not established and the kingdom is not intact. How can I say that I will punish you, and that I have been wrong? ”

However, the tone was still decisive and rigorous, leaving no room for rebuttal.

“But from now on, it has to be different. ”

The king told me.

Now that you've rooted deeply and firmly extended your stalk, it's time to spread your branches widely.

“Let the inhabitants of the land rely on your strength. Let those who are weary of the strong wind rest under your fullness."

The virtues of knighthood as a prince are very different from it, he said. The king told me over and over again.

“It's impossible for you to move lightly. Deep rooted trees are unshakeable. ”

How many times have I chewed up the king's words to become a deep-rooted logger?

Then I made a Warlock impression.

After all this, he said, "Don't move your ass lightly, but stay still."

“Count Balahard. ”

He stands up late and tries to say it again, but the king calls Vincent.

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Vincent looked at the king with a formal tribute.

Grown-up grudges in his eyes remained unexplored.

The king did not rebuke Vincent so harshly.

I just stood up quietly from the throne and came down to the statue.

“As the head of the Leonberger family and the legitimate ruler of the Leonberg kingdom, I will take back the throne of the Earl that was given to the Valrhad family. ”

“Your Majesty!”

In a sudden remark, I turned my back on it.

And he opened his mouth and protested against the king's decision. No, I tried to protest.

But I couldn't.

Despite the king's absurd declaration, the faces of others were so calm. Those who know better than anyone the dedication and sacrifice of the House of Ballerhard have no recourse to the king's actions.

Then I realized that things were going awkwardly and kept my mouth shut.

The king who saw me standing intact turned his head to Vincent again.

“Vincent Ballerhard. ”

Vincent was cynical when he saw a king calling out his name without even making a move.

A cold, frosty face I've never seen before.

The king said to Vincent again.

“I will give you the title of Herzog Norden. ”

Vincent's face, which was cold as an ice field, cracked.

“He also named Erhabenheit in honour of his noble and virtuous spirit, which remained unchanged for hundreds of years. ”

“I pay tribute to the dedication and sacrifice of the House of Ballerhard! ”

Marquis Villefeld and others cried out as if the people of the kingdom had waited.

“In addition, I will give Count Baleard, Vale Baleard the title of Starker Ritter, to honour his unyielding spirit and virtuosity by thrusting him into Paladin. ”

“Salute the Knight of Immortality! Salute the Paladins of the Kingdom! ”

The court knights paid their utmost tribute by beating their hearts at the moment.

“Ah..."

Vincent looked at them with a dark face for a long time.

“Vincent Erhanheit Balahard. ”

The king called Vincent like that.

“Yes? Yes. Your Majesty.”

“I thank you deeply for your family's dedication and sacrifice, and I bow down and apologize for the hardship and misery that the Balahard family had to endure because of the incompetent royal family. ”

It wasn't just formal.

The king actually bowed his head.

The greatest gratitude and apology you can do as a monarch of a country.

Not necessarily, Vincent, who was halfway out of his mind, now seems completely out of his mind.

Vincent, who had been waiting so long, snapped and looked at me.

He shook his lips a few times. But in the end, I couldn't get a word out.

I wasn't different either.

Whether his eye-catching sentiments and countless emotions had been conveyed to me, or whether he had been pushed within me, I simply shunned them because I endured the blessed sentiments.

I couldn't even say congratulations by opening my mouth.

All I could do was nod.

Straighten your shoulders. Stand up.

Vincent stretches his shoulders and raises his chin.

How ridiculous is the jaw that stands so high that it can't reach the sky.

I laughed without knowing.

Stupid. What is that?

But without knowing when, I was also raising my head like him.

A blurred vision, and I raised my eyes.

Inside, I said to the one I missed that I couldn't see again.

I didn't want to live much longer. I wish I had.

How good would it have been if my son had been a duchess and enjoyed his hospitality alive?

The answer was not heard.

Only the king and the others heard him shout.

“Long live the Northern Prince! Long live the Duke of Ballerhard! ”

The people of the Kingdom favored the name of Baleard, who was born a duke.

“Salute the Knight of Immortality! ”

“Great Knight, pay tribute to Vale Balahard! ”

Paladins shout the name of Paladin, who was born 120 years ago with a bang on his chest.

With that fervent cheer, I closed my eyes.

Something hot, the gear pours down on his cheeks.

* *

The cheer stopped after a while.

But I was still full of heat, and such circumstances were no different from Vincent's.

“I will do my best. ”

Vincent's eyes, answering in a pale tone, were as hot as fire.

I didn't see any grudges and sunsets a little while ago.

I only got one job, and I just got an apology and gratitude.

Maybe someone would call Vincent such a snob. Perhaps I could sell "light" in the words of Chiha, who forgot his grudge.

But I knew.

Vincent was never a snob. In a few words, he was not even a lightweight man.

I was just being stupid enough to take the lead.

In the first place, he never wished for great reward or grand forgiveness.

I just know their existence, standing on a sacred wall, the dedication and sacrifice of my family who have fought for this land in a place no one knows. I just wanted others not to forget.

In exchange for hundreds of years of commitment and sacrifice, I made a wish.

Not only that, but so did his father. I don't know, but it would have been the same for the next generation.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have fought in that harsh land for so long without anyone knowing.

A clan of flames that never shrivel in front of the Sacred Wind.

I was so fond of his clan and the Balahardians.

But I didn't even anticipate it.

“I'll take care of this mission. ”

No wonder you can't even go in front of the Sack Wind.

“The monsters that appeared in the Count of Branburg, I'll look like I'm getting rid of them. ”

I never expected to swallow the dinner in front of me.

“There are thousands of trackers underneath me, as if I could only see the footprints of monsters. Hundreds of brave knights who don't stand down against any of those monsters. ”

“It is true. It is true. No one knows more about monsters than you and your army have fought the monsters of the North for generations. ”

As the king asked me to hear, I set Vincent up.

“If you have only one, I will run and try to stop the descendants of the monsters appearing in the Count of Branburg. ”

Vincent made a declaration, beating my chest without knowing my speed.

The king has been talking to Vincent for a long time, and he's gone somewhere to make arrangements.

Only the crew and Vincent. I'm the one who missed it.

I only had to look at those who disappear like that.

“I heard he got his foot on an axe he believed in. ”

There may not be a better match for that than now.

I cursed Vincent.

But nothing had to change. After all, I was forced to go back with my shoulders extended.

When I arrived at the palace, the silver lions and knights were waiting for me in the middle of the armor.

I didn't even change my clothes and went straight to them.

And he said,

Today might be a hard day.

“Do not resent me, for I hope that the kingdom will be strengthened by you all the way."

It's just a matter of time before the expedition is over, and there's no other meaning.

Not to mention being more powerful on the sword than usual, but continuing the struggle for longer than usual.

It was only so.

Seriously.

* *

At night, Vincent came to see me.

“What brings you here to be so busy defeating monsters? ”

I stood at the door and planted my uncomfortable plants all over my body.

“Other than me, you came running in haste with news you might like, but it seems I'm not happy to hear from you."

I was exhausted when I said I had some news I might like.

He pointed at the couch as he swept away from the door.

“Why don't you come in. Come in and sit down.”

Vincent, who was standing at the entrance, laughed and sat down.

“What news do I like? ”

“I wasn't going to say that right now. ”

Contrary to what he said, Vincent didn't open his mouth right away.

I laughed loudly and enjoyed the way I looked at my butt.

And just before my annoyance surpassed my curiosity, I left my mouth right before I gave the livestock decree.

“If only the work of Count Branburg could be solved by the Rangers, but if something similar happens throughout the kingdom, as you said, you must be able to reduce the damage. ”

On a sudden remark, I was half-tone and asked.

“So? So? What did His Majesty say? ”

“His Majesty, who heard it, pondered for a long time, saying, ”

Vincent smiled.

“You have granted His Majesty permission to go to court. ”

I stood up and cheered with my fist on fire.

“Oh, Vincent! I don't give up on expectations! ”

At this moment, the betrayal I felt for Vincent no longer existed.

“However, there were conditions. ”

Seeing me like that, Vincent adds a clue.

“Your official position within this Punitive Force is not a combatant, but an escort. Your main task is to soothe the the sudden pain on this side of the road. ”

I did not reap the laughter of an elongated single bundle.

“Did you hear me right? ”

Vincent asked me a few times for a definitive answer.

“Non-combatant. Escorted. The mission seems to soothe the the grievous sentiments. ”

Each time, I repeatedly said my position and role.

“I'm already starting to regret something. Don't just stand there, I'll see what an honor it is. Let's go back now and reverse what we said first. ”

In the sound of Vincent's illness, I assure you once again.

“Don't worry. I intend to remain true to my duties. ”

“That lie, really? ”

“I only lived in deception. I really do. ”

I did not speak of the many possibilities that lay in my head in front of Vincent, who was full of doubts.

Enemies are too strong to be forced to fight with swords in their escorts, or non-combatants accidentally get caught in combat.

“Again, please focus only on your duties. Don't think of anything else, just focus on stabilizing the mood. ”

Even on the day of the expedition, Vincent still whispered in my ear without feeling anxious.

“Your mission is to cultivate the virtues of being a prince and a maid of honor, and you will be devoted above all to caring for the hearts of the people who are afraid. ”

He summoned the king who had come out to the front of the gate and gave me a nag.

“Keep in mind, I will keep in mind! My mind is full of thoughts about how I can quickly stabilize my anxiety! ”

It wasn't a lie.

I've been thinking about it all day long before I set out. And after thinking about it, I made my own plan.

I don't think there's anything I can do to stabilize my anxiety faster than getting rid of the original thorax.

I never doubted that.

So, if, very, very rarely, there was a chance that coincidence and coincidence would overlap, even if I had to fight monsters, it was just one way to stabilize my anxiety everywhere.

“Ha. What are you doing with this? ”

And that moment came much earlier than I expected.

“I didn't really want to do this. ”

I chose Earth at the time of the sweep.
