Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 1. Secrets of the Golden Hall (3)

It was because Lycaen shook the neck of an emperor who had never experienced such a shock before.

In a room where static sensitivity is instantaneous. Outside, you still hear a buzzing bell and the sound of search for intruders.

Lycaen, who looked outside for a moment, spoke in a voice so bold that only the emperor could hear.

“Remember, the moment you find me, it goes to Duke Lowdis. ”

“You... You think you're gonna be okay? ”

“Huhu, I'm worried that you'll be okay, so you just worry about your seat. ”

The emperor's sharp gaze stares at Riyaen, but Riyaen no longer cares about him.

“Let's go!”

Lycaen gives a short shout, wrapping her around Elisha's waist behind her, while simultaneously blowing away.

Wajang Chang!

The spear shatters with a loud noise, and Lycaen and Elisha protrude out of the window.

“Me, crazy! ”

In a situation I could not understand, the emperor opened his eyes without my knowledge. The Emperor's chamber is on the third floor. In other words, if you jump out of a window, you cannot live.

“Sword, bring me sword! ”

A screaming voice erupts from the mouth of the emperor rushing toward the window. It's because I found a thick rope attached to the curtain in the window.

A proximal knight rushes in, and the emperor urgently shouts, checking the bottom of the window.

“Hey, catch them! ”

The masked man had already gone down to the floor and was running somewhere.

The imperial palace, the royal palace, and the fortress or mansion where the lord resides, remain vigilant at night.

Even in such a rigorous posture, there is a loose end, which is an exterior entrance, such as a front door or rear door. The psychological loosening of uninvited guests in the middle of the night does not make a hole in the entrance.

And there are places more vulnerable to intrusion than such. A secret passageway that exists in palaces and fortresses.

This secret passageway was built to escape by kings and lords in times of need, so it must never be known to the outside world. This means that we cannot establish a guard because we do not know its existence unless we are its owner.

But what if those secret passageways were known to the outside? The secret passageway is not a final burial for the safety of the owner, but a means to threaten the life of the owner.

The path through which Lycaen broke into the Imperial Palace was one of the secret passageways. Exactly the entrance the Knights of Dusk quietly use to meet the Emperor.

Of course, the Knights of the Twilight were guarding the passageway, but we couldn't protect as many people as it was a secret place. And the Knights of the Twilight were all killed by Lycaen.

It was time to get out of work. It is easy to enter in this case, but harder to leave.

Lycaen took matters into his own hands, surprisingly simple. It is misleading that there is an intruder in the imperial palace.

And that's because Yulia, who came into the Imperial Palace with Lycaen, shot arrows all over the Imperial Palace. In a way, the imperial court's vigilance was thorough enough to make even a small arrow react instantly.

Of course, it was not easy to make the entire imperial palace move with a few arrows. However, it is also possible if it is well positioned.

Given the magnitude of the imperial palace, the arrows flying in and out of the imperial palace were not particularly threatening.

But what if arrows flew into the depths of the Imperial Palace, into the home of the Emperor, or into the Starpalace where the people of the Wasteland lived? It's as if someone has entered the depths of the Imperial Palace and attacked. And Yulia, who had actually entered the imperial palace, shot her in every direction with a bow that was much longer than a normal bow.

“Cough, cough! Now, wait a minute! ”

Elisha lets out a loud sigh and calls out to Lycaen. I felt like my lungs were going to burst if I ran any longer.

But Lycaen, who dragged her away, never slowed down. If we don't get out now, we'll be surrounded by numerous imperial guards.

But Elisha didn't have enough stamina to survive until then.

Qadang!

Eventually, Elisha rolls around the floor.

“Oh, shit! ”

Lycaen quickly stops her feet and lifts Elisha onto her back as if she didn't have anything else to think about.

“Huff, huff, huff! ”

Elisha's shortness of breath tickles her ears as Lycaen sweeps through her eardrums, but she's in no condition to care about that right now.

I wonder how long it ran.

Lycaen, who was carrying Elisha, was running along a narrow passageway, relying on a faint lantern.

“Is it going to be okay?"

Thanks to Lycaen's back, Elisha takes a deep breath and asks with an anxious voice.

“What?”

“The emperor must be after us. ”

“Don't worry. It's gonna be hard for a while. ”

“Yes?”

“If you move too fast, you won't risk exposing your secrets to the great Duke Rowdys. ”

However, Elisha said in an uneasy voice, not worrying.

“Speaking of which, I think you might want to get rid of Grand Duke Rowdys as well. ”

“Of course, it is. However, no matter how desperate the Emperor is, his confidence doesn't make it that easy to deal with Duke Rowdys. ”

No matter how formidable the emperor of Creontes may be, he cannot treat Duke Rowdith with the first succession.

No matter how powerful the empire is, the factions will be divided, and the nobles of the faction out of the eye of the emperor will support Duke Rowdith.

“But it won't take long. ”

“Of course you are. You won't be able to find my trail easily, though, so I've been doing it for a while. We'll figure out a way to do it later. I'd rather kill him, but in that case, all the information from the Empire will be mobilized to find me... ”

The emperor now cannot make a major move unless the problem of the secret of the golden hall is solved. But as soon as the emperor dies, the empire largely looks for the culprit. Lycaen has not yet been able to withstand its immense power.

“I suppose it is. When I came into the empire, I came across the Republic of Morellia on a boat, and I always hid my face……. And you didn't intend to hand over the golden hall in the first place? ”

“Of course.”

“Then why have you come all the way to this far Kwentium? ”

“Are you stupid? The emperor will constantly try to find things, including your disappearance, unless the work on the Golden Hall is finished. ”

“Oh, I see... ”

Lycaen gives a warning to Elisha who nods.

“From now on, you belong to Earl Prokers. So don't use" Your Majesty "anymore. I don't like him so much. ”

“Oh, okay. ”

“And one more thing. ”

“Yes?”

“How long are you going to stay on your back? ”

“Huff!”

Chapter 2. Earl Gronst's Invitation (1)

A large circular hall with a deep darkness. The only light that can be found in a hall is a lamp hanging infrequently along a round wall.

Inside the hall are several stairways with a large chair on top. And more than 100 people kneeling in front of a chair with their heads down.

A moment later, the door behind the chair opens and someone comes inside. The red-headed man, the emperor of Creontes.

The emperor with a stiff expression walks up and sits on his chair, and the people kneel down even deeper.

The emperor, who glanced at people once, said in a loud voice.

“Master Brondez, step forward. ”

The man who had a conversation with the emperor who entered the bedroom last night woke up. He was Earl Verben Brondez, the Master of the Knights of the Twilight.

Of course, those behind them were the Knights of the Twilight.

“Yes, Your Majesty! ”

Earl Brondez, who answered with a trembling voice, cautiously steps forward to the Emperor.

Bang!

Earl Brondes kneels ferociously as he approaches the Emperor.

“Your blasphemy has put you in great danger! Kill this body! ”

Then the emperor nodded and moved his hand as he responded.

Sheeeek, tsk!

Echoing noise in a dark hall. Earl Brondez strangles himself without even screaming a single word. But those who watch from behind, knights from the Knights of the Twilight, don't even flinch. It seemed like everyone knew this would happen.

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

The emperor who knocked down the corpse of Earl Brondes, who was still spurting blood from his throat, expressionlessly said.

“Fabentus.”

One of the men who was kneeling terribly at the end of the sentence came forward and bowed his head.

“You summoned me, Your Majesty! ”

“From now on, you will lead the Knights of the Twilight. ”

“I take my orders! ”

The emperor nods slightly, once more looking at the Knights of Dusk, kneeling down. This time, unlike when I first entered the hall, my eyes were sharp and sharp.
