Power Master

“Why? You're not suggesting anything, are you? I just got here! ”

Aefres answers the call of Refurem.

“You said you were curious. ”

Refurem smiles at Aegean's answer. Aegean's movements were to solve her curiosity.

“Well, anyway! ”

“At the behest of Bartas. ”

“Ah.”

Aegean spits out elasticity.

“What?”

I couldn't refuse Bartas' command. I came here in the first place to take orders from Bartas.

“Prepare for the war after the end of the little war." ”

“If it's a small war, do you mean the one we're at? ”

“Yes."

“Ha, I'll tell you earlier. ”

Aegean sighs and says.

“Then you would have wandered right around the rest of the country. ”

If I had told you a little earlier, I wouldn't have to suffer the hassle of coming back.

“I'll tell Bartas the truth. ”

“No, that's not it...”

Egreth said in a voice that was bewildered by what Lepurem had said. In response to Egeres' reaction, Lepurem continued, smiling deeply.

“And”

“And?”

“Tell me when you see the manifest. Come find me."

* * * *

Boom!

Hebel, king of the Garrin Kingdom, strikes the table roughly.

“What the hell!”

Hebel's expression on the desk was so cruel. I felt like I was going to kill the one right in front of me.

“What are the Royal Assassins doing? ”

The reason why Hebel was angry with such a cruel look was because of the phony war with the Kingdom of Power.

The phony war was fierce. No, to be precise, the Kingdom of Gharin was trying its best to stop the onslaught of a fierce force.

“Were our assassins this low? ”

But I couldn't stop it forever. I tried my best to stop him, but he was not harmless. If we go on like this, we will be defeated.

“... ”

The emperor, Fidora, who reported to Hebel, said nothing. I just thought inside.

‘You didn't invest in the Assassins. ’

Marquis Fidora has asked me to invest in countless assassins. However, Hebel repeatedly refused the invitation of the late Fidora.

I thought you said Heron was gonna do it. ’

The reason Hebel refused to listen was because of Heron. Hebel did not invest in the kingdom's assassins because Heron's forces, who had taken over the night of the Kingdom of Garin, could replace the assassins.

And now you want to run the Imperial Assassins? The Marquis of Fidora's words are utterly absurd.

“Marquis Fidora! Talk to me! ”

Hebel shouts in an angry voice when the Marquis of Fidora is silent. The Grand Duke of Fidora opens his mouth, thinking that he should no longer hold his peace to Hepher's cry.

“Our assassins maximize their power in connection with Duke Heron's power. But Duke Heron's forces are unreachable. ”

“I didn't ask for an excuse! ”

I didn't want to hear the excuses. Hebel cuts off the words of the late Fidora and cries out: Of course, Hebel's anger subsided a little more than the first time, perhaps because of that excuse.

“What I want to hear is the plan ahead. ”

“... ”

Earl Fidora doesn't speak for a moment. I kept my mouth shut and thought about how to answer.

‘Whew.’

But there were only two things I could do in my current situation that were the worst.

‘Hang in there. ’

One was to endure and endure as it is now, and to work with the royal knights to protect the palace alone. Of course, it can't last forever. It just increased the time it took for it to collapse.

‘Surrender. ’

The second was surrender.

‘Surrender and they'll kill me. ’

However, if you bring up the story of surrender, your body will not prosper.

“First of all.”

The Marquis Fidora opens her mouth, deciding how to answer.

“I intend to join the Royal Knights to defend the palace. And as soon as they see the gap, dig in...”

But the Marquis of Fidora could not finish his sentence.

Boom!

It was because Hebel hit the desk again.

“You'll dig a hole and turn things around? ”

Why Hevell hit the desk.

“How many times have you said that? ”

It was not the first report I heard. It was a plan I had heard many times before.

“... ”

The Marquis of Fidora shuts up again.

‘Oh, fuck. ’

Of course, I kept my mouth shut, but I didn't stop thinking.

What am I supposed to do? ’

Marquis Fidora was also frustrated by the current situation. There are only two ways to surrender or endure. There was no way to lead to victory.

“I hope you have a good plan next time. ”

Hebel says, "It was a toast."

“I understand.”

The Marquis Fidora bows at the banquet and leaves the room. As soon as Marquis Fidora leaves, Hebel leans against the chair, alone in the room.

“Whew.”

Then I sighed deeply and muttered.

“How did this happen? ”

How did this happen?

“Should I refuse Damien Kingdom's offer? ”

Should I have ignored the offer in the first place? Wouldn't that have happened?

“No, it's a time difference. ”

No, even if I ignored the offer, this could not have happened. I don't know how long it will take, but I'm sure this situation has come to pass.

Knock, knock.

It was just then.

“...? ”

Hevell, leaning against the chair, looks at the door, his eyebrows twitching with a knock.

Who is it?

I didn't say anything after knocking.

Knock, knock.

You hear a knock again. But this time, there was nothing else to say.

Enemies? ’

Hevell feels unusual. I used to let him just knock. However, now that the situation has changed, I ordered to reveal my identity after knocking.

But you just knock without revealing your identity the way you used to. What it meant was that there was only one, an external presence.

Swook

Hevel rises from his seat. Then I grabbed Katyra, the royal family sword that was hanging on the wall. A sword made of blue dragon bones and enchanted by all sorts of magic, such as shields and haystacks. With this sword, Hevel was confident he wouldn't die by an assassin.

Of course, I did not approach the door because I was confident. It was foolish of me to approach you with confidence when I didn't know the risks.

Knock, knock.

The presumed external presence of the enemy knocks again. Hebel doesn't say anything. Instead, I clicked and watched the door. Is it because Hevell had no reaction?

Profit

An external presence opened the door to make sure no one was in the room.

“...! ”

Having opened the door and confirmed the existence of the outside, Hevell was surprised. I was so surprised that I missed the sword I was holding.

“Hey, Heron? ”

The reason Hebel was surprised was because the external presence was Heron.

“You had a brother? Why didn't you say anything? ”

Heron, who thought there was no one, asked with a surprised look on his face.

“Well.”

Hebel told me about Heron's questions, including that he needed to identify himself.

“Oh, so there's no response. ”

Only after hearing all the answers did Heron nod as if he understood. Thus, Hebel opens his mouth to solve Heron's curiosity.

“What happened to you? ”

Heron has gone missing. Of course, he did not think he was missing.

“What about Baal?”

It was because he disappeared with Baal, the guardian of the realm. Hepher went somewhere with Baal. I thought I was going to do something.

“Well...”

But the answer to Heron continues to surprise Hebel.

“Baal is dead. ”

“What?"

Who is Baal? Protector of the realm. Defender of the realm?

“How? Why? To whom?"

Hebel asked Heron in a puzzling voice.

“... ”

Heron was unable to answer Hepher's question directly. When Baal was about to die, Heron calls out once, trembling, and opens his mouth.

“To the prince of the kingdom of power. ”

“...? ”

Hebel is speechless. I just stared at Heron with a curious look. It was so static.

“To whom?"

It was Hevell who broke the silence. Hebel asked Heron again, wondering if he heard it wrong.

“He was struck down by the Power Kingdom. ”

“... ”

Then, knowing that it wasn't a mistake, Hebel shut up again. So static began to flow again.

“How did you survive? ”

The static was broken for a while. It was Hevel who broke the silence again. Hebel asked Heron. If Baal had died, Heron would not have been here.

“Well.”

This time, Heron began to explain to Hebel what had happened. And when the explanation was finished, Hevell's expression was utterly dark.

“So you've been looking after him all this time. ”

“... ”

Heron says nothing. Nor did Hepher expect Heron to respond. Hebel continues to speak to herself.

“The Assassins of the Force Kingdom brought you this far. ”

Heron didn't come here on his own. The Assassins of the Realm of Power brought Heron here.

“It's incredible. ”

The strength of the Royal Assassins who were guarding the palace and the Knights to get Heron here was outstanding.

“You could have killed me anytime. ”

If you can deceive the eyes of the Assassins and Knights, killing Hebel was also easy. The Kingdom of Power did not kill even though it could kill.

“Heron.”

Hebel summons Heron.

“Yes.”

“What would you say if you were connected to your own forces? ”

The Imperial Assassins must be associated with Heron's forces in order to gain the best power. Moreover, Heron's forces were even higher than the Royal Assassins.

“Would things be different now? ”

Hevell wondered what would have happened if Heron's forces had existed.

“No, the result would have been the same. ”

Heron answered Hebel's question. I didn't worry about a thing. Heron was confident that even if his forces increased, the result would not be different.

“Even one prince is doomed. ”

In that confidence was Raffid, prince of the empire of power. If Baal, the guardian of the realm, turns, Heron's power will be destroyed in a matter of days. Rafid killed Baal in such a short time.

What if that's what Raffid's up to? No matter how much he joined hands, destruction was as promised, unless a miracle happened.

“I see.”

Hebel nods, smiling spontaneously.

“Brother.”

Heron summons Hebel. Hepher could see what Heron was trying to say in Heron's call. And his predictions were accurate.

“Surrender.”

Is that what it's come to?

I've been thinking a lot about materials lately.

I'm wondering when I'll be able to use it all!

We wish you a happy weekend.
