The Grand Prince Has Run Away

As soon as Grandpa Cloud entered the training ground, he looked at me and made a big deal of it.

It was because of my face that was painted very badly today.

“Puhahaha. Jan. What's that look on your face? ”

“Don't smile. I'm serious.”

“How much?”

“I can't hold on much longer. I ran away. ”

“Did you run away? ”

“No, it's just a strategic retreat. ”

Old Cloud, who still couldn't resist laughing, drew his sword and stood beside me.

“But what happened to your wives today? ”

“Don't ask. I don't know.”

“Why?”

“I don't remember. I said I touched a girl, but I don't know. It's what happens when you drink and pass out. ”

Old Cloud looked at me with his pathetic eyes.

“You did the right thing. ”

“No! I just don't remember. ”

“So you didn't have an affair? ”

I avoided looking at it beautifully.

“Huff. I can't be sure. I don't trust me. ”

Old Cloud shakes his head.

“Jan. Why do you live your life like that? Don't you want to change your personality? ”

“Nothing. No, I can't. ”

“But nothing is impossible in the world. If you try, there's no reason to change it. ”

I immediately snorted.

“There are always exceptions. Maybe living my life again won't change his personality. ”

“Really · · · · · · · ·? ”

Really, I couldn't change it.

No, to be honest, it's worse.

In my past life, I was still polite to the Grand Duke, but in my life, it's not funny at all.

I just live my own life.

There's no reason to go through life and stuff with the age of destruction anyway.

“Yes, I'm sure. ”

“Then I have no reason to say no. Your life is your life, and I can't live it. But you do realize you have to carry all the burdens of your life, right? ”

“Don't tell me. We're losing enough if we don't. ”

Old Cloud draws his sword and takes a pause.

“But don't lose to your face. What the hell is that? ”

“Seriously! Stop it. ”

I swinged the yogurt hard and fired a spiral sword at the mountain in front of the mansion.

Immediately, the whirling spiral sword slammed into the mountain's waist, pulling out dozens of trees, and immediately raising a huge dust pillar.

Old Cloud whistles, looking down at the illumination.

“Always a great sword. ”

“Yes. The world's mightiest sword. ”

“But you got it in the Sacred Hall, right? ”

“Yes.”

“If I'd known there was a sword like this, I'd have stopped by once. What a shame. ”

Grandpa Cloud has never been to the Sacred Hall.

In my youth, I did not visit the temple in place of Michère Divinum because I was running away from my brother's plot right below him to compete for the Crown Prince's seat, and I did not even send an invitation from the temple when I came back without a name.

I thought the power of wonder would stop me from growing, and I could do wonders in the Empire that could be as powerful as two tiers if something needed to happen.

“Good thing I didn't go. ”

“Why?”

“What if you get curious when you go? You could have been emperor. ”

“If I had been emperor, I wouldn't be here today. And by now, it would have been dust in a quiet grave somewhere. ”

I turned my back on it.

“Yeah, well, I'm glad Grandpa's still alive. I'm a little relieved to have grandpa. ”

“Why else would I be relieved? You would have done well without me. ”

“I know. Who the hell am I, and I can't even work?" If he was incompetent, he wouldn't have made it this far. ”

I've come back from a hell no one has ever experienced.

And I've survived that hell longer than anyone, and I've lived desperately.

I was unable to rest in peace, so I could never lose to the greasy ruler of the ship.

A gentle flock cannot defeat a wolf that lives on hunger.

“But?”

“I'm not confident anymore. ”

“Why?”

“Things will happen outside the realm of men. in many ways.”

“What kind of work? ”

“For example, against Kronos. ”

The words cast a shadow on Grandpa Cloud's face.

“Isn't that too much? Kronos is a place where people outside the realm of man live. ”

“But we have to. ”

“Why?”

“Not long ago, they called me and asked me to give them all the essence and chaos pieces of the Prosia continent. ”

Old Cloud looked at me.

“Are you sure? ”

“Yes.”

“Hmm. You've made too many demands to be like them. If you take both Essence and Chaos pieces, they will know that there will be great harm to humanity. ”

“That's why I told you so well. ”

“So what did they say? ”

“I've been bitten, but I don't think I've given up. ”

“Why?”

“You can't give up. They seemed to need the essence of our humanity. ”

“For what reason? ”

I'm such a jerk.

“I don't know. If it wasn't, I wouldn't have made such an extreme request in the first place, and I wouldn't have even broken the custom of the heavenly city of Chronos and invited me and Zane as Humans. Especially me. He wouldn't have called me if it was the way it was. I don't like you very much. ”

“You?”

“Nemiso and his crew. It's almost a stretch of land. ”

Old Cloud nods.

I didn't tell everyone, but I also know that Nemisona and I are not very good together.

“Are you talking about the Urubos case? ”

“Yes.”

“But what did the other one say? ”

“The Prosians? ”

“Yes."

I tilted my head.

Surprisingly, the Prosians are unresponsive.

It does not interfere with my work, nor does it help me much.

Often, of course, it empowers them, but it was only when they were involved in the struggle for power, not other times.

“I don't know about you. I don't see any movement. ”

Old Cloud drops his sword and quietly clutches his chin.

“Then one on three. ”

“What?"

“Watchers or allies. Or a really scary enemy. ”

“But the mysterious girl you gave to Emperor Siegfried is your commander. ”

Unexpectedly, Old Cloud shook one eye at the declaration.

“Are you sure? ”

“Yes, I've heard it from the people involved. ”

“Somehow · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Anyway, Grandpa needs to be nice. ”

Old Cloud's gaze slipped away.

“I don't have time to get involved in the world. We have to get to the Soul Master. ”

“I mean, come on, get up. If Grandpa gets up there, they won't be able to take humanity lightly. You go up to Grolmog, you're gold-plated. ”

There are two soul masters in the heavenly city of Kronos.

Prosia, Nemiso.

With the force I'm most concerned about, if the grandfather grows up and stops them, humanity is worth fighting against the heavenly city of Kronos.

Of course, it's never easy to deal with two humans alone, but it's actually quite possible.

There is a copy of Bondia on the side of Evelyn, my alliance force.

Then it's two against two.

If you put Grolmog here, there will be no imperfections, even if the Humanity considers it favorable.

Even if there are more than 200 Valkyries out there, we can overcome them with the number of Humanity and one more Soul Master.

“If you ask me to do that, I'll do it. ”

I stared at Cloud with my own eyes.

“And yourself? ”

“That's the problem. There's been no progress lately. ”

“Why?”

“I can almost feel the presence of the soul, but I don't know where it is. ”

Grandpa Cloud's current concern was where the soul was.

The process of going to the soul master is the way to the soul, but the body, of course, doesn't feel the energy, so it's a dead end.

“Isn't it in your body? ”

“I thought so, too, but I'm not sure. ”

“Then where is it? ”

“How many times do I have to tell you? I don't know.”

“Could it be anywhere else? ”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

Old Cloud put his hands together.

“You. You know we are in chaos and emptiness, right? ”

“Yeah, you told me that before. ”

“And the laws and justice of all the worlds are established in chaos and emptiness. ”

“I know, but? ”

“Yes means that this world is also a world of chaos and emptiness, and no. ”

“Yes. If it were the same world, there would be no boundaries. Of course, God had no reason to create this world. ”

“The question is which side our souls are on. Whether it's this way or that way. Or in our bodies, or elsewhere, I'm not sure. ”

I sighed deeply.

It was because Grandpa was holding another embarrassing proposition.

It was a must-know job to get to the Soulmaster, but it was not a big deal once I found the answer.

I crossed my arms and said something.

“Usually, they're everywhere, and they're often nowhere. The truth, too, isn't it? It's right, it's wrong, it's not there. ”

“Right. Just where is it?" Everywhere and nowhere. That's where our souls are. ”

I shrug my shoulders with a look of embarrassment.

“Honestly, where in the world is such a place? ”

“There must be. I just don't know the way right now. ”

“Well, Grandpa, you better find it. I have no idea. ”

Old Cloud narrows his eyes.

“You have to find it. Each of us is on a different path, but we're all headed in the same direction. ”

“I know, but we have to tell them to find what they're looking for. Where it is, where it isn't, means it's not there. ”

“Then there is no soul. ”

“But there's no way there's no soul. You know he's there, right? Besides, there are three Soul Masters up there. ”

“Yes. That means there must be such a place. ”

“I don't think so. There must be. ”

“Speaking of which, if you stop by Chronos again later, won't you ask me if I'm jealous? ”

Old Cloud suddenly remembers me.

The simplest way is to ask someone who has already gone that way.

But I waved my hand.

“They don't know. ”

“You said you have two Soul Masters. ”

“Of course I do. It's fake.”

“Fake?”

“They didn't reach their soul master, they were made. Of course you don't. ”

A Valkyrie is born complete, whether a mind master or a soul master.

Like Armida and Katrina.

I didn't know how those kids were going to get to the soul.

“In the end, it means we have to find ourselves. ”

But it wasn't like I had nowhere to ask.

There's not a single soul master in the world.

Savannah.

She was born an ordinary Valkyrie and eventually reaches the Soul Master.

“Okay. I'll think about it. Whatever it is, it's got to be somewhere. ”

At that time, a man was rushing up the ramp to the mansion.

It was my best friend, Hubeio.

Anyone who knows the existence of this mansion is so few that one of them is Hubeo.

I approached him with a deep impression.

I told him about the house, but I didn't tell him to come.

It's interfering with Grandpa Cloud's training with me.

“Hoveo. What if you come here? ”

When he arrived in front of me, he heavily breathed and replied.

“We're in a commotion. ”

“Freak? What's going on? ”

“The Kingdom of Bastein has urgently reached out to the Empire for help. They say the dead are rising up in the eastern part of the Kingdom and are hurting the living greatly, but they can't stop them with the Imperial Army. ”

I opened my eyes.

The only ones who used magic or magic to raise the dead were the priests of the dark forces and the Black Wizards working in the Caligo kingdom.

But they were under my influence.

“Really?"

“Truly. Sent from the realm of Bastein in a hurry. ”

“Who?”

“Duke Fabious. ”

Baldy himself came to the Empire meant it was that serious.

I felt like I had to go as soon as I saw cancer.

“Got it. Let's go. ”

I immediately said goodbye to Old Cloud and made my way to Hwang Sung.

Even Bastein, a powerful nation, has risen to the point that there are so many deaths that he can't help it.

I had to go quickly and find out.

The End
