Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

It is because it is extremely difficult for the king to reveal their existence without hesitation to do anything dirty for him.

An organization of royal spies written on paper has never been heard of by an Earl of Poldenbine. And the fact that it exists, in that name, is probably the secret intelligence agency of the king.

Earl Poldenbine is now confirming the existence of an organization that has never been publicly disclosed.

Though surprised, Earl Poldenbine quickly stepped back and bowed his head.

“I will do whatever you say and I will find Earl Frost. ”

“I'll believe you. ”

* * *

“Leek! ”

A little boy leaps over and tucks Lycaen in his arms.

Lycaen hugs the child and asks, "How come you don't see her?"

“Hi Lai, how are you? ”

He was Prince Linus, the youngest prince in the Kingdom of Luo, who was once protected by Lycaen and moved to a nest by the Artroom Guild.

“Yes! This place is so much better than the palace! ”

Linus said with a big smile.

“Glad to hear it. ”

Lycaen's gaze, which she replied, was again forward. It's because someone's coming towards you.

She was about the same age as Sena. A woman with a clean face who is quite contrasted with her beautiful blonde hair. Lycaen sees her smiling comfortably at Linus, and can sense her identity.

Lycaen carefully sets Linus on the ground and greets the woman in front of him.

“You must be Princess Zeroni. I'm Lycaen.”

The woman lowers her head slightly in Riyaen's respectful greeting.

“My name is Geroni, although I'm no longer a princess. I hear you've been very kind to Lai, and thank you for your time. And when you call me princess, I'd appreciate it. ”

“Yes, Zeroni. I'm glad to see Rye is doing well. Are you comfortable with your stay? ”

Then Joel, who was standing behind him, swoops in.

“Dude, I own this place. Why do you ask me that? And don't you think I'm a naughty man who makes his guests uncomfortable? ”

Lycaen tilts his head without even knowing it. It's because Joel's voice was full of tension.

What the hell?

It wasn't until I looked back at Joel that Lycaen realized what had happened.

"Tsk, this one or that one. ’

The sight of Geroni was clearly telling me how Joel felt, rather than a thousand words.

Joel was giving his heart to Geroni.

Lycaen smiles and says a few words, but Joel approaches Geroni, ignoring him neatly.

“How are you? The other day, I asked you to collect and send all of the books from the same author, but did you miss anything? ”

“No, thanks to my favorite writer, I read it happily. Thank you again. ”

Looking at the two people talking, Caith sneaks up and asks.

“Is that...? ”

“Oh, yeah. Joel's eyes, that's the look you get when you look at Anness. ”

“Hehe!”

I'm quite fascinated by it. And Zeroni, too, does not hate Joel's heart.

Caith, who was looking at the two of them, said with a worried expression.

“Is that okay? ”

“What?”

“It doesn't matter if we're good with each other, but the princess is royal, and Joel is, in a sense, the biggest hand of the Dark Ones. Somehow... ”

He whispered in a small voice so that Lycaen could not be heard by others.

“The royal family is a ruined country now. And like you said, let's be nice to each other. Besides, that princess, Geroni, she seems to like it here. ”

“Huh?"

“Don't you see that hand? ”

Lycaen gives you a glimpse into Geroni's hands.

The Princess' hand, which would have only been precious in the palace, is tougher than I thought. There are stiff arrows everywhere, and the soil is wedged through the crevices of the stiff arrows.

Probably farming in this hideout.

“Well, should I say great? ”

“Apparently, the royal family of the Luo Kingdom was very well connected to the bean powder family, so it might have been more comfortable here. ”

During the Conquest War, the Luo family had a fierce quarrel between the first and third princes. In Geroni's view, who lived in that fierce atmosphere and cared for his youngest brother, who had nothing to do with the succession dispute, it might have been easier for him to not have to worry about it.

“Well, he wouldn't look so comfortable if he didn't. ”

“I'm telling you. ”

After the conversation, Geroni said to the two of them:

“Let's get you inside. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

Lycaen and Caith, who had hidden their armies well, were not supposed to come here. The Artroom Guild was supposed to go to an empty nest and prepare for later. But Linus came here with a special request from Joel because of the frequent search for Lycaen.

Of course, now I see that Joel is trying to look good for Geroni, but I'm a little relieved to see Ricciando Linus still has a clear smile.

After Geroni's guidance, it was a fairly large mansion situated at the end of a trail in a small forest. Except for the two princes who died in the war and the three princes, five families seemed sufficient to live.

“It wasn't supposed to be here, but Joel brought it back here. ”

When Lycaen and Caith heard that, they had to put up with a smile that I didn't even know was coming out. It's because I look too stubborn.

It was about time I walked through the woods so relaxed I was almost at the front of the mansion.

Suddenly, the front door of the mansion opens and a man pops out. He was about the same age as Lycaen, a blond man like Geroni with thin, long eyes. There was only one man of that age in this mansion, Prince Deckers.

Deckers sprints out of the mansion, running toward him, and talks to Joel to make sure no one else sees him.

“Joel, are you here now? I almost lost my neck waiting for Joel's ball. ”

Joel looks like he's been chewing on poop for a while and then smiles forcefully.

“How have you been? ”

“So much has happened. The biggest of all, Joel, is that the ball doesn't come around often. ”

“Haha, you did. ”

Lycaen's eyes, looking into the atmosphere, suddenly saw Geroni expressing a grim expression. I don't think I like the look of Deckers, his brother.

In the meantime, Joel and Deckers' conversation continues.

“So, what's going on with the preparations I told you about? If Joel prepares it, I can regain my kingdom at once. If that were the case, I would commend Prince Joel to the throne of our kingdom at once! ”

“I appreciate the offer, but it's hard to realize that it's ready.... ”

“What's that supposed to mean? Joel, isn't the ball's ability enough? You don't have to be so modest in front of me. ”

“It's not that... …. ”

Joel looks embarrassed and suddenly hears a strange sound.

“Hehe!”

He turns around and sees Lycaen smiling.

A contemptuous smile that curls one's mouth in exaggeration.

Deckers asks for Joel, who hasn't figured it out yet.

“Joel, what about these people? ”

Joel stepped up to introduce himself, and Lycaen said first.

“Earl Procurus of Bren Kingdom. ”

Earl Frocus! ”

Deckers' face distorts strangely.

It is because we know about the most famous Lycaen in the battle against the Ruo Kingdom during the last Conquest War.

“You must be Deckers. ”

“How dare you speak the name of the prince of a kingdom in vain! ”

“Bullshit. A prince of the land? Which country's prince are you? Ah, you mean the ruined Ruo Kingdom? I can't believe the prince of a lost country just gave his name. Do you realize it's your responsibility to die? ”

Everyone's expression is stiff due to Ricaien's unpredictable cruel reaction.

“Are you trying to insult me? You're the one who made our kingdom do that! ”

“Phew! This sucks! ”

“What, what?! ”

“You don't remember who attacked you first. ”

“The war was fought over ownership of the Acronian Mountains. Why did that war spread to the mainland? ”

A contemptuous young smile rises from Likayen's mouth.

It's a conversation that lets you know what Deckers is like in front of you. An archetype who interprets everything in his own way and blames others if he misinterprets it.

“How far ahead are we before the war? ”

“The Kingdom of Bren and our Kingdom of Luo have long clashed over the mountainous regions. Shouldn't you be looking at me like that without even talking about it? ”
