The Grand Prince Has Run Away

It was a deep night. When I was ready for battle, I looked in the mirror and raised my tension.

The opponent is his father.

My father is being persecuted because he doesn't know my intentions, but I don't know what kind of counterattack he will be when he is found out. In the future, I had to hide myself thoroughly and work naturally as if it were flowing.

Let's go, then. ’

I went outside and Roland was waiting for me. He bent at my waist as soon as he saw me.

“Are you out?”

“Marquis Brian? ”

“They say they are staying at home. ”

“What's the security situation? ”

“It's mediocre. However, the mansion became heavily guarded. ”

Apparently, Helen's aunt was worried about Shura's prophecy and reinforced her guard.

“You have nothing to do with me. All I have to do is catch Birch Brian. ”

“I don't think so. ”

“Then show me. ”

“Yes.”

I began to move through the night along Roland. Behind us, more than thirty soldiers appear to be Roland's men.

“An army against the hordes of birthdays of Brian? ”

“Yes. They're all well-trained soldiers. ”

I waved my hand decisively.

“Send it back.”

“But you can't take on Birch Brian and dozens of men by yourself, can you? ”

“And what if Birch Brian sees these soldiers and he sees them? ”

“That's... ”

“Complete the perfect quest first. If there's a problem, I can get out on my own. Don't worry. ”

“Yes, if that's what the Master thinks." ”

Roland sent a signal to disband the troops. Then I take Roland to the birdhouse of Brian.

There was a knight standing guard at the front door of the mansion and a few soldiers. When they saw me, they politely greeted me and asked the purpose of the visit.

“What brings you here? ”

“I'm here to see Birch Brian. ”

“In the middle of the night? ”

“It's an urgent matter. Come on.”

I hurried to pick up the knight, but then I thought about it for a moment and replied.

“Very well. I will speak to the baron. Please wait here. ”

After a while, the knight came to Birch Brian and told me.

“Come in. Come with me. ”

After my permission, I told Roland.

“Then go and wait. I'll talk to Birch and get out. ”

“Yes?”

“You've got somewhere to be next. You have to guide me.”

That's what Roland keeps his head down. If I succeed in defeating Earl Brian, he is supposed to lead me to Earl Aubrey's Manor. If Roland himself dies in battle, I have nowhere else to go.

“Yes, I understand. Then I'll be waiting at the front door. ”

“Yes."

After sending me to Roland, I followed the guard knights to Earl Brian.

The erl was waiting for me in the reception room, armed. But the atmosphere was strange. Not to the extreme extent, but he was looking at me carefully.

“Welcome. I was wondering if you wouldn't come to me. ”

“Even the Earl?”

“The Grand Duchess asked me secretly to speak with you this afternoon. ”

I scratched my head. I told her to stay put, but she was doing something useless.

Earl Brian is a master who walks his own path. I understand some of the world's logic, so I'm not naive like Aunt Helen.

“Oh, that story? ”

“Mr. White Face, why would you make such an absurd plan for her? ”

“But what could Earl Aubrey possibly do? Once Josef is gone, the next Grand Duke is his. ”

“But I also know that Earl Aubrey has the Grand Duke and I. And it's not a foolish gesture to provoke treason. ”

I sat on the dining room couch without permission.

“What if the Grand Duke and you are both gone? ”

“That's not gonna happen. ”

“No, it's happening. ”

Birch Brian opens his eyes.

“Why?”

“The Grand Duke is not here now, and I'm here now. ”

Birch Brian wields a sword around his waist.

“What did you mean by that? ”

“Birch. You think I'm just here to be a cannibal? I'm not the one who doesn't do that. ”

“Then?”

“I was asked by the Empire. ”

Birch Brian pulls out his sword as hard as he can to understand what I mean.

“Mr. White!”

He yells, and I make an annoying face.

“Don't get excited. This is how it's always been. This is how it's been raised. You're going to destroy the car. ”

“Yes?”

“Why, are you being useless? You want to be free because you flew? ”

“Mr. Backbone, is it useless to seek a country? ”

“Who's wrong with independence? You think you're wrong? Honestly, is independence possible at this time of year? ”

Birch Brian shoots at me sharply.

“But I thought you said the Orcs won the war with the Yosrahim Empire and the Orcs next year." ”

“I did.”

I scratched my head. However, until then, if the car's territory survived, I could do it.

“It's only a matter of time before Karl's lands are destroyed. Whether the Empire rises or the Duke of Cloud does, we will wipe it out. ”

“It can't be. What evidence do they have of treason against us? ”

But there was no evidence. The Independents of the Gyroscope dream hard.

“Birch. The Yosrahim Empire will mobilize a million troops in the wars to come. It means the death of the Empire is at stake. ”

“So?”

“By the way, Karl's territory serves as the main outpost. It's the shortest way to Orc Meadow. In other words, if there is a rebellion in the territory of Karl during the war, the Yosrahim Empire will be in chaos. Then I don't need proof. When in doubt, smash and watch. That's why I'm here. Earl Aubrey.

Crabs had their chance. ”

“I'll stop them. ”

Birch Brian points his sword at me slowly. I sighed deeply.

“Of course we can stop them. There is one in the bay. But then the Duke of Cloud will come. What will you do then? ”

Speaking of Grandpa Cloud's name, Bird of Brian's sword trembles.

“Is he coming, too? ”

“No, I'm already here. ”

When I gesture, I feel a huge energy coming from the outside, and someone breaks through the window and enters. It was Grandpa Cloud.

Grandpa smiled and looked at me.

“Kid. We should get rid of him if we see cancer, right? ”

“Not yet. ”

“Apparently, the talking bird is very impressive. ”

“But you don't have to kill me. ”

Old Cloud tried to sharpen me.

“I have to kill. ”

“Then there are no gifts. I told you I had a great gift. ”

“Phew. Consider it a gift you've already received. I can't let this guy live. ”

I threw a word of resentment at Old Cloud heading for Birch Brian.

“It's about the effects of the soul. I know one thing. ”

Old Cloud stopped and looked at me for a while.

The action of the soul. It was a fundamental realization you must know if you want to become a soul master. And he added to his struggle to get it over the last few decades, but it was a phenomenon of great nature that he did not even get a clue about.

“Kid. Too much to joke about. You can't possibly know such profound truths, can you? ”

“It's true. I heard it from a soul master. ”

Grandpa shakes his head. It was that hard to believe.

“Don't lie to me. No mortal has ever been named Soul Master. ”

“That's right. No humans. You know very well.”

Old Cloud narrows his eyes.

“What do you mean? ”

I point to the ceiling with my thumb.

“Over there. You know. Old ladies, at least one of them. ”

Old Cloud's eyes trembled, I said. Grandpa saw Armida's sister who came to the Empire with me a while ago. In any case, my words were hopeless.

“Were you there? ”

“Yes. With a head start. ”

Old Cloud takes a step back. It was because I couldn't help but receive it as a grandfather.

“Then persuade him. But hurry. We don't have much time. You know?”

I clasped my head and got up and approached Birch Brian. The cockroach is trembling with fear with a massive cloud of energy.

Grandpa, now I see the spirit of service is strong. Of course, you want to know how the soul works.

“Birch, this is where you decide. Do you want to die stubborn or do you want to surrender? ”

“I'd rather die. ”

Birch Brian comes out of nowhere. This human is a little stubborn.

At that time, there was a commotion on the south gate. Looking out the window, a large army is marching towards the Grand Duke's mansion in concert with the gate soldiers.

Earl Aubrey led the rebellion. I corrected the speech.

“We don't have time. Do you want to die or do you want to live? If the Duke hesitates here, the Grand Duke, the Grand Horse, and the Independent will all die. ”

“It doesn't change anything, does it? ”

“It's different.”

“How can I believe you? ”

“Trust me. I'm the only one who can save you. And there's a reason to live. ”

Birch Brian squeezes his hand tightly. Now his eyes were shaking with conflicts of mind. If you resist, everyone dies; if you surrender, everyone lives. If it is not shaken, it is not a person.

“What happens if I surrender? ”

“Then the manuscript will be dead. Also, this will end with the failed rebellion of Earl Orley. Well, unfortunately, the Independents will be pushed out of the field, but they will survive, and the birthright will be inherited by any of their children. ”

“What if I don't surrender? ”

“Earl Orley will be the hero who saved the Grand Duke. On the other hand, your Queen Dowager and the Independents will all be executed for treason. It's a simple math problem you don't have to worry about. There's no need to stall. ”

“But how can I trust you? ”

“You don't have to believe it. I'm the only way you can survive now. ”

Old Cloud squeezes his sword in his hand.

“Kid, we don't have time for this. If we're late, Helen might die. Don't you think what we're doing right now is trying to save her life? ”

Birch Brian opens his eyes.

“Grand Duchess Helen, are you in danger? ”

“Yeah. It's very dangerous. Someone's already gone to work. ”

Birch Brian finally drops his head. I guess I couldn't help myself. If Helen dies here, it'll be like killing Birch Brian.

It was he who inspired her and planted the dream of independence.

“Oh, I see. I surrender.”

A great relief, I put the yo-yo back into the sword and said,

“Fine. Then let's leave the car on this road and go to Kara. Now that I've spoken to Queen Kara, she'll be laundering her identity and arranging a ferry to Jores Island. Stay there, hunting for magic. I'll give you a chance to be in the world again someday. ”

“Yes · · · · · · · ·. ”

When I heard the answer, I hurried to the Grand Duke's mansion with Old Cloud. Of course, Birch Brian may change his mind again, but there's nothing he can do about it. I have to kill him.

To persuade the Empire, at the very least, we have to kill or make Prince Brian a dead man.

“Wow. Kill the Rebels!”

By the time we were headed to the mansion, the north gate had opened and most of the troops had entered the castle. Earl Meier led the Resistance.

I was told to hurry, but I was a little late. However, the Grand Duke's mansion was still safe and in time. Earl Meier's forces and Earl Orleigh's forces soon began to clash, through which I entered the Grand Duke's mansion.

“Who are you?”

A knight guarding the Grand Duke's mansion stood in our way as equals. As the rebellion kicks in, you seem to have lost your mind for a moment.

“It's me.”

“Mr. White · · · · · · · · · ·? Are you back?”

“Yes. Rest assured. As long as I'm here, no one will trespass on the Grand Duke's mansion. By the way, Earl Meier has also led an army. The Earl is defeating rebellion now, so things will soon calm down. ”

The men guarding the gates of the mansion cheered loudly. It is said that I am the White Mask, also known as the Holy Spirit, and that I have come to Earl Meier, the former Commander-in-Chief. There was no better news for them.

“I understand.”

“Then keep it safe. I need to see the Duke and the Grand Duchess right away. ”

“Yes.”

I was able to enter the house safely through the front door. With the lights on, the villa lobby is full of guards. I asked one of them to show me the way to Helen's.

“No, it doesn't work! I will never leave this place. ”

You hear Helen's constellation outside the door. Apparently, his father's hands and feet had arrived.

I broke through the door to get smashed to bits.

“What the hell is going on? ”

When I shouted, there were over a dozen knights gathered next to Joseph and Helen.

“Boat, Mr. Baek · · · · · · · · · · ·? ”

“Who are you people? ”

Farmers comes out on behalf and bends over.

“We have orders from the Grand Duke to evacuate Grand Duke Joseph and Grand Duchess Helen. ”

“Then why are you threatening the Grand Duchess? ”

“Don't be intimidated, I don't have time to rush. ”

Helen's aunt comes with Joseph and stands beside me.

“I said no, I'm going! ”

“Grand Duchess. You have to go. It's dangerous. ”

As Farmers urgently asked, I intercepted between the two.

“No harm done. The rebellion will soon be defeated by Earl Meier, and I will protect this place. ”

“But didn't you say the Duke of Cloud is here, too? ”

“Yes, I'm here. Come on, say hello. You guys haven't met, have you? Let's tell the Duke of Cloud. ”

When I took the lead on Old Cloud, everyone panicked and didn't know what to do.

“That's... ”

He stared at me with a disgruntled look.

“Kid, don't you worry too much about me? ”

“There's a big gift waiting for you. I'm the only one who can give you this. ”

Old Cloud bites his lip tightly.

“If I'm lying, I won't stand for it. ”

“Don't worry. You'd be surprised to hear that. ”

I was overconfident. I know. Of course, the Valkyries are not the content, but the knowledge I gained through my own reincarnation. In fact, no one knows more about the effects on the soul than I do.

“I see.”

I took a breath of life and stepped forward.

“What are you doing? Say hello? ”

“Greetings from His Majesty, the Great Cloud. ”

Farmers and a group of knights hesitate to kneel together. Grandpa Cloud is the world's greatest prosecutor, a great elder in the imperial court who can't help it. As long as Grandpa was here, I had no choice but to hope for him.

They're too weak for even me.

‘It's almost over. My father won't be able to hurt me now. ’
