Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

The unexpected happened, which means that other factors worked. And Earl Eisenhower knew exactly what the other factors were.

‘This Prous guy……. ’

The event at the banquet was a factor. The story of the king in relation to the war Lycaen had told. And that monstrous sword you showed me in the battle with Gregor Birch.

It amplified the anxiety of the other three Earls and lower nobles who belonged to Earl Eigen's clan, and such a sense of fire left Earl Eigen to know the king. And because the king refused, there was even more turbulence, and a sudden breakout occurred.

‘He's dangerous, too. If we don't get rid of it soon.... ’

Earl Eisenhower's power has been the result of a long, long time's work. In his youth, he made a connection with the prince, preaching the battlefield, and based on that, he has come to this place with a long bond.

However, a child named Lycaen appeared and tried to destroy everything he had built all his life at once.

‘After seeing today's results……. ’

* * *

Yuck!

The screech curls violently, vomiting. Stressed protests radiate a deep life with arrows in their hands.

“Sir Gronst and Sir Prokers. What do you two think the beauty of hunting is? ”

An arrow that aims for a point that is not shaken at all precisely. The king asked, pulling arrows and protests together.

When Lycaen doesn't answer, Caith answers first.

“Sosin, I don't know the true taste of hunting yet because I don't enjoy it. ”

“War, and conquest. ”

Peeing!

The moment the bent bow regained its original shape, the arrow split the air, drawing a sharp trajectory.

Peek! Peek! Peek!

As the arrow digs through the flesh, the red-eyed fox bursts into strange tears and sags in place. As a proximal knight races toward the place where the prey had fallen, the king looks back at Lycaen and Caith.

“Setting goals and attacking them to make them mine. Seems pretty relevant, doesn't it? ”

Lycaen is still silent, and Caith only answers.

“That's the same thing I heard from the king. ”

“That's why I enjoy hunting. Did you know? That this wasn't the way the royal hunting competition was supposed to go? ”

Before King Kellers ascended to the throne, the royal hunting contest hunted ordinary foxes, not red-eyed foxes.

It wasn't the way to shoot the bow, it was the way to untie the hound and find the fox that the hound bit and killed. At that time, noblewomen and noblewomen also participated, and the noblewoman who finds the fox first was named the winner.

But now there are no hounds and no women present. Use only arrows to hunt. Use red snow foxes that are more ferocious and difficult to catch.

It was changed by the king to fulfill his favorable desires.

“I've heard stories. ”

After the king nods at Kaith's words, he gives a gentle gesture to the nearby proximal knights.

The proximal knights immediately steered the horses away from the king, whether he had spoken to them beforehand.

As the proximal knights were completely separated, the king turned to them.

“I love war. No, it is better to conquer through war, not war. But sadly, I've never had the pleasure of conquest. ”

Lycaen and Caith kept their mouths shut and listened, knowing that they were no longer up to confrontation.

“I waited five years, five years. ”

It is a war, a period of five years when we stopped the war and built an army to prepare for it.

“And I hope I can win the war that is coming. ”

It was a natural story, but the king's eyes were gleaming with greed as he said it.

‘This is not good.... ’

Lycaen narrows his eyes with anxiety. Now the king is talking about a story he never used to tell. Greedy faces have never been shown to anyone.

And showing them that meant that they were determined to do so.

“You have the power to play a decisive role in leading that war to victory. That's why I want you two to hold my hand. ”

‘Umm…. ’

Lycaen sighs quietly and swallows.

They had already rejected the king's proposal. Nevertheless, the king once again reached out to himself. It is never easy for someone in high places to make the same offer to someone who has been rejected once.

In other words, it means an offer to kill pride. He was also the one who intercepted his daughter-in-law's feelings.

It can't be done with a twisted decision. And even if they did, what if they refused? Not only did it fly completely out of the eyes of the king, but it could have brought vengeance upon us.

Yuck!

Another demonstration was drawn. However, the arrowhead of the arrowhead on the tightened protest was not the red snow fox that was aiming for a cold flash of light. The king's bow was pointed directly at Lycaen.

“It's up to you where this arrow leads! ”

The emperor, who had been disconnected assertively, looked at the two people with even more shiny eyes.

The nobles of Bren Kingdom are divided into two factions. Earl Eisen and Earl Romon. However, there were some nobles who did not belong anywhere. Most of them were young nobles who were looking negatively at the clan fights of nobles.

The king is willing to join hands with the young nobles and press the two existing forces. First of all, I plan to capture more than just the Earls and absorb the lower nobles in time for the State Conference.

Lycaen and Caith are vital to such a king's plan. That's why Lycaen was brought into the royal palace as soon as he entered the capital.

And I'm giving you another chance today. If you think of the way of the king, you can never think of it. If you hold your hand here, I will cover your disrespect for refusing to offer or for any business involving Anness. You two are that coveted.

Licayen had a tremendous amount of power that Master Gregor had pressed so easily, and Caith had a tremendous wealth built up from his ancestors and an elite army made up of it.

This is a key force that can fill the central army with deficiencies. That is why he gave two people another chance.

Lycaen opens his mouth slowly, looking at the arrowhead facing him.

“Your Majesty, I appreciate the offer, but I cannot accept it. ”

Peek-a-boo!

The arrow leaves the protest in fear of the end of the speech. It's not a great distance, but if you hit it right, you can kill enough people. Lycaen, however, stops steadily and is struck by an arrow.

Spatula!

A red drop of blood falls from the hood. The arrow that left the demonstration pierced Lycaen's ear.

Yuck!

And the king once again hung another arrow on the march.

“Say it again properly. Next time, you won't miss an arrow! ”

Fluffy!

Then there was a small noise from afar. A red-eyed fox suddenly stops to climb up the rock and stares at you.

Yuck!

Lycaen put an arrow in the protest. Of course, what you're after is a red-eyed fox. Lycaen opens her mouth as she pulls on the protest.

“The original weapon must be mindless. ”

The king listens, loosening the protest slightly, in the ambiguous words of Lycaen.

Whoo-hoo!

The demonstration that left Lycaen's bow pierced the red-eyed fox's neck in one fell swoop.

“Weapons are just things that move by the will of their owners, like those arrows. If we know that the weapon is an idea, it can't serve as a weapon. ”

“What do you want to talk about? ”

“Literally. If I think of a weapon, what if I think of that arrow that I just shot, like the story I just told you? Do you think you can get through my throat the way I want you to? Maybe that arrow was aiming for the trunk or the leg. And if that's the moment when a weapon and a person's thoughts get crossed, it doesn't really serve as a weapon. ”

The king was still speechless. Meanwhile, Lycaen rests his bow on his seat and turns his gaze toward the king.

“If you are the one who pulled the strings, we are the arrows in the strikes. That is, we will be arrows to pierce the throat of the prey at any time you wish. I can promise you that much. ”

The king uncovered the arrows hanging from the demonstration and asked.

“You said you'd be a weapon whenever I wanted? ”

“I see. In the previous hunt the king hated, a man could only catch a fox he wanted. And the other thing is, no matter how well trained a hunting dog is, it can bite its owner at any time. Just like the hound you're about to abandon. ”

It was then.

Pabababak!

Suddenly, a light and violent footstep. The instant Ricaien turned his head toward the sound he heard, he came into his sights as a beast leaping towards him, vomiting a shimmering glare. Although his eyes were red and he was in the shape of a fox, he was completely different from the prey released in the forest this time.

A sharp fang with a big, dark green glow that looks three times as big. And a terribly fast gesture that the eyes of a normal person cannot chase.
