075. Salt crystal (6)
Less than two months have passed since Prince Mores woke up from his fever.
In the meantime, his appearance changed to the extent that it was said to be a complete transformation, and he was only seen in Jinju Palace, so not many people actually knew the face of this famous asshole prince.
In addition, he was dressed in a shabby outfit, wearing an old cloak that did not fit his body.
Even if he had honestly revealed his identity here, the capital guards would not have listened to it seriously.
The problem was that the prince also seemed to have no intention of actively appealing this.
“I even gave you a proper warning, so everything that happens after that is my responsibility. “Okay, now I need to hear what you’re doing here.”
Jerk.
When the prince took a step closer and said that, the guard, startled by the unknown force, actually took a step back.
“I told you, didn’t I? We’re on official business, so get out of here while you’re saying nice things… … .”
“Those who were hitting you, shut up. “The person who got hit has to answer.”
After glaring at the guard who was shouting awkwardly while holding a half-drawn sword, the prince turned his gaze to Kalmen.
“Can you speak?”
Kalmen spat out blood-mixed spit and then answered.
“… yes.”
“okay. So tell me, Lord Calmen. “What was going on here?”
“The capital guard… … .”
I never thought I would do something like a snitch to Prince Mores.
But even though it was rotten, the prince was now the only friend given to Calmen.
“The capital guards are taking all patients with rashes in the imperial capital to the heresy court. In the name of the devil’s curse! I was just transporting an urgently ill patient to the clinic, but I was stopped by these people… … .”
Then the prince’s gaze moved to the man whom Calmen was protecting.
As expected, it was as if he did not recognize the changed man’s appearance at all.
“Who is that person? “Is he the one whose illness is urgent?”
“… … .”
The prince stared at the man for a moment, then nodded as if he understood what he knew.
“okay. A patient with the gray plague. “The Loferum eggs are still alive, so we need to extract them quickly.”
And the prince approached Calmen at a leisurely pace.
The guards, who felt like an insurmountable wall to him, hesitated little by little as the prince approached, easily clearing the way.
In addition to the strange sense of intimidation he felt from the prince, he sensed something unusual in the conversation between the two people.
It was a sight that seemed so unreal.
The prince appeared here at a desperate moment.
The atmosphere alone is overwhelming.
So, before he knew it, Calmen was shouting to the prince something he would never have said under normal circumstances.
“Prince! This patient… This person was the former knight commander of the Royal Guard. Please don’t get dragged into the Heresy Tribunal… … !”
“… … .”
“Please help this man! “Please save me!”
This person is not a person who deserves to die here like this!
At least you, you alone, should not ignore this person!
And the prince, who heard that desperate cry, answered in a strange way.
“Okay, wait a minute.”
A momentary feeling of relief.
Kalmen let out a small sigh and soon found himself wondering about it.
Meanwhile, the guards who had beaten Calmen were also in confusion.
Was it true that he was a knight of the imperial palace?
But the prince? Prince who? What is the former knight commander?
How is this going now?
Prince Mores proudly declared to them.
“We are going to take this patient. “Don’t disturb me, get out of the way.”
“… That can’t be possible. I don’t know who you are, but I can’t believe you’re interfering with official business like this… An order from superiors to take in anyone with a rash… … .”
One of the armed knights stammered his answer in a trembling voice. I guess I became extremely cautious because I thought the boy in front of me was not an ordinary person.
The prince nodded obediently.
“okay? In that case, you will need a justifiable reason for not carrying out the order.”
At that moment, the prince’s fist swung like lightning.
Bah!
Damn. As soon as an unpleasant sound rings out, the knight whose head is turned falls helplessly on the spot.
Judging by the way his eyes turned white, he seemed to have suffered a concussion from a sudden shock. Above all, judging from the eerie sound I had just heard, there was no way the jawbone was intact.
Before the rest of the team could say “ah” and take a alert stance, the prince’s body was already shooting towards the next target. This is the guard standing with his sword half drawn.
bang! The prince swung the nutcracker in his left hand with its sheath and struck the sword away, then thrust his fist straight into his face.
Wow! This time, with the sound of something breaking, the security guard fell to the floor, clutching his face. A significant amount of fresh blood flows from between the hands covering his face.
“omg! that person! No, that guy… !”
“Stop it! “Whoever that is, stop it first!”
Chaeng. visor.
The remaining guards pull out their swords in unison.
But in the meantime, the prince was rushing toward another goal.
The prince reversed the handle of the nutcracker he was holding in his left hand and swung the undrawn sword like a shield to block the swords of the soldiers. And after the gap is thus narrowed, his fist swings without exception.
Sigh! Wow!
The sounds that were heard, as if they were carrying an Auror and hitting them, were all unusual.
“What is this…?” … .”

Even though Kalmen opened his eyes just fine, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
The prince seemed to be overly skilled in melee with the majority.
He raises the sword that falls from above to block it and kicks the guy coming right behind him in the solar plexus.
I spun the bolt aimed at my shoulder outward and struck it down, and as it was spinning, I caught the bridge of the nose of the guy running from the side and brought him down.
And all of them were equally beaten and knocked unconscious with something broken.
Before long, all the guards except one knight-at-arms fell to the ground.
“how… this… … .”
The knight groaned as he aimed his sword at the prince.
No matter how closely you look at it, the young boy, whose Auror activity level does not appear to be higher than that of the Squire, took down six capital guards in an instant.
Attack an opponent with a drawn sword using only your fists.
The knight was a skilled Auror user who had already surpassed the 7th floor, but he was not confident that he could move like that boy.
Jump and jump. As the prince approached, the knight asked in a trembling voice.
“Well, whoever you are… Oh my, do you think you can do something like this and get away with it?”
“You don’t have to worry about me. Wouldn’t it be better to do this to you too? Instead of getting reprimanded by your superiors, just faint here and take sick leave.”
“what… … ?”
“Still, wouldn’t this be a very generous treatment compared to arbitrarily beating up a knight in my palace?”
A knight in my palace.
Before even thinking about its meaning, the prince continued speaking in a cold tone.
“So, just come here and put your head on me.”
“… … .”
The prince’s eyes were so calm that he looked so dull that he was going to break his head.
Live without hostility.
So the article actually felt even more creepy.
“Aaaah!”
He let out a sound that I couldn’t tell if it was a scream or excitement and swung his sword down at the prince.
Whoops!
As Auror clashes with Auror, a head-shattering roar is heard. The knight opened his eyes and looked at the scabbard blocking his sword.
We clearly loaded the best Auras we could carry, but the Squire’s Auras can withstand it?
And that too with just a scabbard?
Whoops!
The sword and sheath clashed again. Almost the same amount of shock was felt this time.
“How on earth… … !”
The knight, who was looking at the scabbard against the sword with bewildered eyes, noticed a faint external air forming like a haze in the center of the scabbard.
And only then did he realize what the prince had done to him.
He was not operating as an Auror according to the rules. By simply collecting all of the body’s aura and concentrating it on the area that touches the sword, the relative lack of aura is being supplemented.
Whoops! Before anyone could be surprised, a third collision occurred, and the prince took advantage of the gap and struck the knight’s side with his elbow.
Kyaang. Of course, it was blocked by armor and could not cause much damage.
The other knight, who was defenseless, was hit on the chin and stretched out early, but the armed knight who was properly alert did not have many corners to dig into.
However, this blow brought a new sense of crisis to the knight. The aurors gathered around the scabbard had suddenly completely disappeared, and this time, a haze was forming on the prince’s right arm.
As a result, clear dents remained in the hard steel armor.
‘… what? What about that baseless Auror operation? ‘How is it possible to focus anywhere like that?’
With his mind in confusion, the knight lowered his sword towards the prince again.
He was internally preparing for the fourth collision, but this time the prince approached with his sword out, suddenly jerking and twisting his body diagonally.
The knight’s sword narrowly passes by his body and cuts down the fluttering hem of his cloak.
At that moment, the prince took a step closer and raised his left arm upward.
Sigh! The nutcracker’s hilt, which was raised in reverse, stretched out and struck the knight’s chin. The head is thrown back and the knight loses his balance and stumbles.
And before his vestibular system could function properly.
The prince rotated his body once, and the outer blade of his hand struck the knight’s empty neck.
Pow! For a moment, my vision went dark and my consciousness disappeared.
Clang. thud! The last knight falls with heavy armament and a loud noise.
Calmen watched the whole scene without even being able to breathe.
It happened so quickly that I didn’t even think about it.
To that extent, the prince’s inaction was unrealistic.
These days, there is a rumor going around among resident knights that he is a swordsman genius, but is that really all there is to it? Why doesn’t he seem more skilled at using his fists than his sword?
The prince seemed to have interpreted Calmen’s blank expression looking at him in a different way, and made an excuse with a embarrassed expression.
“Uh, it’s okay. I didn’t break her neck. “I hit it without an auror.”
“… … .”
“… He said he did it because he felt like he was in a hurry. “There is no need to ignorantly resolve issues that can be resolved through violence.”
“… … ?”
Before Kalmen could sense anything strange about those words, the prince quickly came to his side.
“It was so good in every nook and cranny. “Can you move?”
“… yes.”
“Still, it must be difficult for you to move the patient yourself.”
Grump.
Before Kalmen could respond, the prince snatched the man from his hands and placed him on his back. Even though there was dirt left here and there and there was a musty smell, he didn’t show any signs of discomfort.
Although he still had the body of a young boy, he didn’t look like he was having a hard time, perhaps because he was skilled at using his aurors. In that state, Prince Mores looked back at Calmen and said.
“Isn’t the sutra broken somewhere? Then, just walk on your own.”
And without listening to the answer, he starts walking towards the main street alone.
Kalmen stood in his seat and looked at the back for a moment.
This situation, where I had obediently entrusted the leader I respected the most to the person I had resented and resented countless times, did not feel realistic at all.
Is the author really Prince Mores?
The leader, who was once a man of great virtue, was kicked out, and now he is moving the leader, who has become a vagabond, with his own hands?
The boy walking ahead of me did not look like a prince, no matter how good I looked at him.
The dusty old cloak was nothing more than a supply for the Templars, and what was occasionally visible under the long, torn cloak was obviously pajamas.
But it was such a strange thing.
It finally dawns on me that that person is a prince.
‘No, what am I thinking now…’ … .’
Kalmen shook his head and began to walk steadily after Prince Mores.
While walking at a fast pace towards the imperial palace, the prince asked Calmen various questions about the situation so far.
“So you were thinking of going to the Imperial Palace Medical Center?”
“Yes, I thought everything would work out once we got there, but… … .”
Kalmen trailed off.
Considering that the entire capital was spread out with guards under orders from the Heresy Tribunal, I began to wonder whether that would have been okay.
If it were an order from someone who could operate on such a large scale, the Imperial Palace Medical Center might not be free from its influence.
“okay. I think it’s better to avoid that place. Anyway, what on earth are you doing to make things get to this point? The man who was successful… … .”
The prince, who had been speaking extremely profane words, stopped for a moment, then turned and entered the wrong alley.
“Where else are we going… … .”
“Don’t talk nonsense, just follow me. “It’s faster this way.”
“… yes?”
After walking like that for a while, the prince looked around again, guessing something, and this time he started walking in the opposite direction of the palace.
This had already happened so many times that Kalmen felt he was tired of asking.
Then, suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.
‘Come to think of it… … .’
So far, there have been surprisingly few encounters with guards.
Is the prince walking to avoid them in advance? no way?
“that’s right. “For now, I’m trying to avoid meeting them as much as possible.”
In response to Calmen’s question, the prince nodded as if it was obvious.
‘… So how?’
Kalmen didn’t know that the prince’s senses were more sensitive than those of most high-ranking knights.
Plus, the fact that he has a detachable short-range navigation system in his head.
“But where do I go if I avoid the Imperial Palace Medical Center?”
“Well, first of all, we should go somewhere out of the reach of the Heresy Tribunal, right?”
“But if they even took over the Imperial Palace Medical Center, no member of the capital could be trusted.”
“Yes, but I know at least one place the Inquisition can never touch.”
“yes? Where is that place… … .”
Then the prince looked back at Calmen and smiled mischievously.
“Pearl Palace.”
