The Grand Prince Has Run Away

135 quid. Hold out till the end.

It was a creepy alleyway in Kara. I waited for someone in a place where the sun didn't even rise during the day. Immediately, a man entered the alley in a quick walk. It was Alon the paladin.

He hurriedly approached me as soon as he saw me.

“Mr. White, you're out early. ”

I opened my eyes sharply.

“Take it away. You won't be back so soon, will you? What the hell time is it? ”

“I'm sorry I'm late for my research meeting today. ”

“Research? What research? ”

“This is a study of automatic steering. ”

I tilted my head.

“An automatic horse? What does that have to do with your meeting? ”

“There is a huge snake in the Codex of Creation, and it's a debate whether or not the iron horse is the snake. ”

The giant snake in the Codex of Creation was a pet of Materia, one of the Creators, and a rookie. He usually stays by the meteorites, but there is a myth that if there is a corrupt world, it will go and swallow it up and destroy it.

That is why many conspiracy theorists who believe in the Apocalypse refer to the giant snake as the cause of their destruction.

“So what's the conclusion? ”

“It's not ready yet. I was excited, but eventually I decided that I needed to investigate further. ”

It seemed like a useless controversy unique to a conspiracy theorist. A pointless argument that doesn't matter at all.

“Never mind. What happened to the Temple of Euroa? Did you find a piece of the absolute anvil? ”

“I found a place, but there were no artifacts. ”

I hold my head back as if I knew it would. There was a time when the Temple of Euroa turned on her friend who left the house.

“I see. So what are you going to do? Maybe we should go somewhere else. ”

“No. At the request of the Alfredo Monk, we have decided to temporarily stop searching for the Piece of the Absolute Anvil. ”

“Why?”

“It's dangerous.”

“No, thank God. ”

“Yes?”

“No.”

Alon looks greatly uneasy.

“Mr. White, is it true the world is going to end? ”

“Why?”

“No, isn't that right? If you go to the interpretation of Alfredo Monk, you'll find hidden ruins that no one else knows about, and you'll be able to speak plainly. ”

I waved my hand.

“It's just a conspiracy theory. Don't worry too much. ”

“But you do care, don't you? Aren't you paying attention to those countryside monks? ”

“It's just that the Alfredo Monk cares. It's weird that a nine-cycle saint is stuck in a country monastery. ”

It was not so hard to become the world's greatest religious leader if you wanted to become a nine-cycle scribe. It is certainly strange to live as a monk in a rural monastery.

“It's a little strange, isn't it? ”

“I'm sure. Even though nine-cycle magicians and mind masters can be a little twisted, they have something inside of them. Maybe there's a past I don't want to talk about, and the idea itself is high-level. But the Alfredo Monk doesn't look like that at all. It's just a bottle. Isn't it strange?”

Alon replies as he ponders.

“Well, that makes one. You're hiding yourself. ”

“Yes, that's what I'm curious about. ”

“If you look at the book of names in the Central Church, maybe you'll come out. That's enough greetings to leave a trail somewhere. ”

“Well, I'm still trying to figure that out. ”

“Ah, you did. ”

“So you figure it out. Everything about Alfredo the Monk. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

I stared at Aaron.

“So, what have you been up to? If you gave up on finding the artifact, wouldn't you do something else? ”

“Well, it's not much but studying the Codex of Creation. ”

“It doesn't matter, just tell me. ”

“I often go to Myrcella. ”

I gathered the glabella across. There is no reason for the people of the Book of Salvation to go to Myrcella. If you go often, it may mean something.

“Hey. Shouldn't you have told me that as soon as you got here? It's suspicious.”

“It's no big deal. ”

“Then what are they doing in Myrcella? ”

“I'm going to hang up right there and come back to Kara. ”

I rolled my eyes.

“Huh?"

“You can have all the quality meals and tea you want in the box, right? ”

“That's right."

“I like it because it's easy to travel far and eat and drink good food. ”

I made a ridiculous face. These Humans have been traveling with my funding for research.

Somehow I've been researching a useless giant snake. It seems that you are more interested in ashes than in research.

“Is that why you're studying giant snakes? ”

“Yes, because you have to ride it yourself to study it. ”

I waved my hand.

“Okay. Let's get back to work. Don't forget to report anything unusual. Especially the whole Alfredo Monk thing. Okay?"

“Yes. I'll see you later, then. ”

I scratched my head as I watched Alon leave. The Liberation of Aid Leaflet is a safe group to take care of immediately, but I'm not sure what all this nonsense is about because of the Alfredo Monk.

When I returned to the thriller office, I was able to see a completely different scene than usual. On the counter where Armida's sister was supposed to be dozing off, Hubeo sat still and greeted me.

But getting passionate about Fei labor was not something you would ever like. It wasn't all that good to see a man sitting on my own turf, not a guest.

“Jan. Welcome. ”

I sighed deeply and sat on the couch. Once or twice, I don't know how to deal with him.

“Er, Armida's sister? ”

“I went out to teach the saints 7th century magic. ”

“Really? When is he coming in? ”

“I don't know. They'll be here by nightfall. Looks like you're going to be practicing some big magic today. ”

“Then we're off to the Great Desert. ”

“Yes.”

Hubeo says that and starts studying with a book of magic tricks. Then I said a word.

“Are you having fun studying magic? ”

“Funny.”

That's a disease, too. It was absurd that a magic ceremony full of complex shapes and formulas was fun. I never would have done that if I didn't have serious Majohist disease.

“What's so funny? ”

“Math.”

“Why?”

“Mathematics is always the most complete academic discipline in the world. ”

“Crazy bastard.”

Hubeo glances at me, frowning.

“Jan. Why do you hate math so much? ”

“Mathematics is the most incomplete academic study in the world where no human emotion can be calculated. ”

Hubeo shakes his head to see if you've realized anything.

“Oh, that's why I can't confess. ”

“No. It's your personality. Why can't you even confess to the woman you like? ”

Hubeo smiles.

“But maybe you are, too. I've seen you around a lot. ”

“What? You don't know how many girlfriends I have? Honestly, even if it falls in quantity, the quality is high. ”

“So how many confessions have you made in your life? ”

At that moment, the scream of my heart fell unconditionally. Not really.

“Hmmm. Perfect gentleman's brotherhood. I don't give women a chance to confess. ”

“But someone must have liked it, right? No way?”

An elven woman passed by with my brains.

“Well, not without it, but it ended badly. ”

“Why?”

“I held a knife to his throat and held him hostage. Hehe.”

“Really?"

“Yes.”

Hubeo's eyes narrow as a solid line.

“You're sick, too. ”

“What?”

At that moment, the door of the excitement opened, and Shura and Alieta came in with Armia. I hurriedly ended my conversation with Hubeo and welcomed them.

“Welcome. ”

“Huh."

“But you got it done so quickly? ”

Armida shrugs and sits at the counter where Hubeo retreats.

“I was going to, but they were all out of their minds on the other side. Today's magic is large-scale magic, because if you don't concentrate, it's dangerous. ”

I stared at Shra and Alita.

“Neither of you can do that. You have to stay sharp and work hard to train anyway. ”

Shra and Alieta slack their ears, and Armida snapped at me.

“Brother, it's because of you. ”

“I'm what? ”

“I heard the war crisis is over. ”

For a moment, I hurriedly waved my hand.

“It's not over. The emergency is over now. Since the Yosrahim Empire and the Orc tribes are not disbanding their troops just yet, it's not unusual for there to be a war. That means there's still a fire left in the war. So the forces dispatched to the northern border are not returning, and the Kingdom of Bastein has been reinforced.

The army's not coming back. ”

“But you can afford to go to the excitement center, right? ”

“Yes, but it's not over. ”

“But there's still time to get married. ”

After all, it was about marriage. I thought that if I silenced my mouth with war for a while, I would get over it, but when the crisis subsides, I rush out. Perhaps the recent marital demands will require a long period of work.

I turn my brain to the speed of light to avert this crisis, and look at Hubeo. Actually, there is a way to escape for a while.

I hurriedly left with Armida's sister, Shra and Alieta.

“Sister, why are you talking nonsense in front of Hubeo? ”

Armida said that she was unfair.

“What am I? You guys are getting married anyway, right? Don't you want to get married? ”

I looked into Shra and Alieta and replied.

“No, we can't do that right now. ”

“Why?”

I pointed to the corner of the office.

“My friend Hubeio. ”

“She what? ”

“He's in a lot of pain right now. That's why you should never talk about marriage in front of Hubeio. ”

Then Armida's sister, Shura, and Alieta showed great interest.

“Why? Did you get dumped? ”

“I wouldn't tell you if it was a demonstration. That's in the past, isn't it? But Hubeio is now progressing. So I'm pretty sensitive about the wedding. ”

Armida carefully examines the inside of the office of the thriller.

“What the hell is going on? ”

“There's a sick story. Marriage to the woman you love and forced into your family. Now Hubeio suffers unimaginable pain between these two choices. ”

“Oh my God, did that happen? ”

“I know. So we can't go home, we're just staying in our office. ”

Shra takes the lead.

“What the hell is going on? ”

“It's a heartbreaking story. ”

I explained what happened to Hubeio. Although it was a bottleneck love toy, as I talked about it with all kinds of flesh, a great romance was created and the hearts of the three women were shaken.

Armida took out her handkerchief and wiped her eyes.

“I see. That's the story with Hubeo. ”

“Yes. A man who loves a woman, but can't even confess because of the excessive demands of his family. No one understands. ”

Alieta said as if to say something.

“Why does the Ferrero family make such extreme demands of Prince Hubeio? ”

“A disadvantage of noble society. Noble children try to gain political interest, but as a blood relative, they have a bad habit of connecting family to family to power. That's why noble materials and spirits can't get married the way they want. In other words, it is a natural obligation to be born as a nobleman. ”

“But if you give up your heir, you can marry the love of your life. ”

I hold my head back.

“Of course it is. And I know who Hubeo is, and I'm sure he would have. Hubeio is a child who can throw away enough of his heir for love. ”

“But?”

“Hubeo has a father. So the problem is that the Duke of Ferreiro's heir went through his father before he came to Hubeio. ”

“Then?”

“Yes, that's right. Hubeio didn't have to give up on his heir, he had to give up on his father's. Father Hubeo has been looking forward to the Duke's throne.He's not as good as his son. And his grandfather died early, and his father's been through a lot since he was a kid. ”

Alita covers her mouth with her hands.

“Oh my. So to win love, you have to go beyond giving up on your heir and put a scepter in his heart? ”

“Yes, that's it. It is Hubeio's true concern that he should leave the family and hurt his beloved and respected father. Of course, as his friend, I can support him in any way he chooses, but I can't force him to choose. Is that the woman you love or the father? I can't make you do this. I'm just watching you.

I have no choice but to cheer you on. ”

I sighed deeply and looked up at the clear sky. With a truly compassionate look in the eyes of a friend. There are a lot of people who don't understand, but Hubeio is actually my best friend.

Armida, Shra and Alieta look sad.

“Oh, right. ”

I shoved them on their back.

“Let's go inside. If it takes too long, Hubeio will think it's strange. ”

“Yes.”

I walked back into the Exciting Office and watched as I ate Hubeo.

“Hoveo?”

“Why?”

“Son!"

I hugged Hubeo tightly, my eyes drooling.

“Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?”

“Hubeio, I know your heart. Yes, my friend Hubeio. I'm here for you, my friend. So cheer up. ”

“Uh, uh. Okay."

I don't know what it is, but Hubeo holds his head back. Shra and Alita shed tears in the true friendship of men.

Perfect. Now, as long as Hubeo is around, Shra and Alita will never speak of marriage.

Marriage? No matter what anyone says, it doesn't end.

Isn't that what they used to say? Marriage is the grave of life. I'm not a great fool enough to dig my own grave, apparently.
