I Became the First Prince

“A vow of the soul. ”

It was a pledge to pledge each other's souls.

“Soul? ”

Vincent and others frowned at the words "soul."

It was a wild notion that it was a vow to save the soul.

It wasn't so weird.

The vows made by the knights of the time and the vows made by the knights hundreds of years ago did not have the same meaning.

For the old knights who valued the importance of piling manna in their hearts and reaching high levels, making a fool of their promises was a terrible act that undermined the self-fulfilling quarrel.

Of course, the knights loved what they said and tried to keep it no matter what.

Nevertheless, not all the knights told the truth and made promises like their lives, so there were immortals who sometimes undermined what they had accomplished for the greater good.

But even those without such credit had promises that could not be broken.

That was the promise to the kings.

The kings of the past used the souls of knights as collateral for their vows, filling the necks of those who had no credit.

“If a man breaks his promise, the heirs and the outrageous have lost all that he has accomplished, and the outrageous have been severely struck down by the soul itself. ”

So that they do not dare break their vows, so that they do not cause great harm to men.

The kings forbade those who had no credit and those who were not worthy of the Holy Spirit.

That was the vow of the soul.

My words stiffened the faces of Vincent and others.

It was not the fear of the terrible consequences that would come upon him if he broke his vow.

It was just a cold hue.

Their eyes were telling me.

Why do I have to do this?

Is it not enough to trust each other?

Perhaps I didn't believe them because I made a pledge to pledge my soul without any explanation.

Of course it was a misunderstanding.

I knew that those who were here would never betray me, and I knew that for me I would run to my limbs without hesitation.

“It's just a word, isn't it? ”

Eli looked at me and said,

A frowny face that has never been seen while being possessed.

There was only one emotion that seemed different to Vincent and Carls.

They were really easy to know men.

So their existence must be something that they're willing to do.

I grew small.

“I didn't say that was all. ”

He then explained the vows of the real soul to correct their misunderstandings.

“Just because I made a pledge to pledge my soul equally does not mean I made the same pledge. ”

Some vows were made by coercion, others voluntarily.

In the former case, only one side had to pledge the soul, but in the latter case both sides had to pledge the soul.

Just like right now.

“It is not light to bind the souls of both sides. It affects each other, whether good or bad, so if one side builds a bad business, the other side cannot be free from its responsibilities and impacts. ”

“Ah!”

Eli groaned in my words.

I understood the meaning of my words once as the descendants of the Eli family, who had forgotten the mysticism and insisted on the mysticism of the heart, even when the world treated the mysticism of the heart as cheap magic.

However, Vincent and Carls, who knew little about the usefulness or usefulness of Muhammad and his heart, were still questionable faces.

“Simply put, it means that if we do something wrong, the power of the charge may be weakened. ”

After hearing Eli's explanation, they open their eyes, realizing how important it is for the Knight with the Heart Mana.

“Why would you take such a risk...”

A little while ago, they looked at me with a grumbling face.

Who would be to me for their actions? It was a stirring hue.

Seeing their faces like that, I just smiled and said,

“Because I believe.”

Carls trembled at my words. Eli smiles.

And Vincent hardened his impressions even more.

“That's not the answer. What do you get for taking risks on your own? ”

In the first place, I asked what the real reason was for being so selfish that I would not have taken the risk if I had not made a soul vow. I even blamed my rude behavior.

But I wasn't being rude.

“The kings of the past shared their souls with them in pursuit of the most trustworthy knights, the greatest knights, and the most promising knights of the future. ”

I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I've only done what I've put off due to a lack of ability.

“So the knights who were given their souls by the king were able to exert more power than I had been able to do, and promoted an inheritance that I could not dare to overlook alone. And those who had done this were gathered together to reach even higher places. ”

Unforgettable knights of Agnes, powerful non-dragon knights of the Climate family, and many other knights who followed the king.

“The world called them Knights. ”

That was the beginning of the Knights, and they were the most powerful swords and shields possessed by humans.

I firmly believed that humans could win the war against xenophobia because they were there.

And now I wish I could, too.

I saw those who stood before me.

Dear Vincent, Yale Mib, but growing up is just a magnificent Eli, Carls who follows me in the same way, Adelia, who only regards my words as the truth, but who is not here, and Arwen who is stronger than anyone.

My knights who have just been born, my knights who have no shortage of pillars.

With them, it will be enough.

Going through the hardships that have come to the world, and defeating huge enemies that I cannot fight alone. It is also important to reach transcendence.

“That's why I made a soul vow with you. ”

Vincent was speechless.

He no longer reproached me for being impatient, nor expressed concern about what might happen in a year.

I just kept my lips shut a few times.

So did Carls and Eli.

Pretending to be vague, or curling up the end of your mouth and laughing loudly.

Their faces were different, but the feeling was surprisingly similar.

A face that can't stand the shock of bullying.

When I looked at them, I felt blessed too.

If the others were here, there would only be one more of the many knights in the world, and I didn't know what was so troublesome because of the algebra.

But this was completely different from the Knights of this era, which was just a group.

Eli and Adelia will be able to use passages that are unavailable to me now.

Vincent, Carls, and Arwen will be deeply assimilated in the war to see the greater effect.

I will also be able to share the burden with them in using the fuzziness that cannot be used entirely in my present abilities.

And above all, it was important that the benefits of the knights' upliftment would be evenly distributed to all.

Of course, in the past there were knights gathered by oath, and they also shared a great fortune.

In fact, the Non-Dragon Knights shared some of the power of [The Poetry of the Opening Dragon] with the Climate, and the Royal Nights went up Mount Surrey with the king and used one of the earliest passages of [The Poetry of the True Dragon] as a substitute for the other.

But that's not all I wanted.

I was going to create a new amusement.

The first Knights of Manachain and the Knights of Manahart. It was only for them that they would unite the traditional unfuzzy and war poetry, the only unfuzzy of the Knights.

A song sung by the Knights of the Ring and the Knights who stacked Mana in the heart.

Really, that would be a pretty cool poem.

Just imagine, the heart starts to jump fast.

I hoped that Arwen would return from the mission as soon as possible.

The Knights would be complete by the time she came.

I'm laughing alone with such a delightful imagination and waiting.

“The Knight's name is the Golden Lion's five sharp molars. ”

I drew cold water with a skill that I wouldn't even be an Eli.

“The order of the molars is in order of skill, so it would be good to do it at that time. ”

I wonder if my different name is satisfactory, but Eli has grown delusional.

In the meantime, one day, Carls and Vincent put a big symbol under me that they would avoid.

“When Arwen comes back, we'll discuss the names together. ”

“Don't you like the Golden Lion's five sharp molars? So what about this? The five roaring lions...”

“Then today we dissolve here. ”

Eli kept buzzing, but I was consistent with ignorance.

It's true, I've felt it before, but Eli was the worst at writing.

I once again prayed that Arwen would return to the fort as soon as possible.

“What about the White Death Knights? There are golden lions, there are silver lions, there are wire lions, there are no white lions, right? It's a name for a lion roaring over a harsh snowfield, and it means something else...”

Even the mouth of a chatty Eli is a little quiet in front of Arwen.

I waited for Arwen to return from the mission and instructed Vincent, on the other hand, to sign contracts and arrangements with the newly arrived mercenaries.

“You should come all the way here and look at the paperwork again. ”

Vincent, buried in a pile of paperwork, hated it, but didn't vomit on my word that there was no one else.

Five hundred mercenaries were finally reborn as soldiers of the Kingdom thanks to Vincent's Iron Field, which took a few days.

I accepted some of them as Knight Cadets separately, and let Eli train them.

Hansen, who became a descendant of my family thanks to me, also stayed with them and trained.

Again, three weeks have passed.

Now the chaos of the Gentiles that swept through the kingdom has been overcome, and there has been no day when the raid on the fort will be blown.

In the fortress that regained such tranquility, only five hundred mercenaries and Hansen shouted, or screamed.

One thousand mercenaries crossed the border and arrived at the fort again.

This time Eli went out for me and welcomed them.

“Welcome to the kingdom of the Knights, Leonberg. ”

While Eli did not change the greetings I made, I quickly finished classifying the mercenaries.

Again, close to half of the mercenaries were thrown out of the fort.

Then Adelia and the Rangers chased them.

And a few days later, wagons full of flags and weapons of the Vine Mercenaries returned to the fort.

Adelia and the hard-faced rangers were also together.

“You have returned from your mission! ”

Unlike the first time, I have worked hard on Adelia's report, which I have become accustomed to.

Soon after Adelia returned, a visitor came to the fort.

“Yes. What else does the kingdom have to do? ”

I greeted the guest in a frowny manner.

I was a very unhappy guest.
