[EP.80] Angry windfall
Midsummer has arrived before we know it.
When Crasch opened his eyes with the sound of cicadas coming from outside the carriage, the clanking sound of the carriage rang out.
When Crasch sat down and looked up, Bianca was there, reading a book with her head resting on his shoulder.
Bianca seemed to have felt Crasch’s gaze on her and looked back.
“Are you awake?”
“How long did you sleep?”
“About three hours.”
Krasch yawned for a moment, covering his mouth.
Then Crasch, who looked at Bianca who was reading a book intently for a moment, asked:
“Wouldn’t it be boring to sit in the carriage every day?”
“It’s okay because I have Mr. Crashu.”
I don’t think I’ve ever made it particularly fun.
As Crashu was smoothing his chin, Bianca was staring at him.
When he questioned that gaze, Bianca opened her mouth.
“Crash, what should I do to continue to be by your side?”
“It’s still there now.”
“In the long run.”
Krasch was silent for a moment.
Last time at the Demon Castle Palace, Bianca had to be away from Crashu for over a month.
I couldn’t look closely at the time because I had fainted right away, but when Crashu woke up, Bianca was sleeping next to him, holding his collar tightly.
The light shadows around her eyes showed that Bianca had had a hard time sleeping.
Bianca felt anxious when she was separated from Crashu.
‘Because I came out practically abandoning my family.’
The only place she could rely on was Krasch.
It is said that abandoned children have a fear of being abandoned again.
Even though Krasch would never abandon Bianca, Bianca had no choice but to think that way.
And Bianca seemed to have felt that very much on this occasion.
If Krashu does not return from the Demon Palace… … .
It was because such thoughts filled her head.
“Crash, you will continue to go to dangerous places.”
Krasch could not deny it.
The world was about to be destroyed right now, and it was dangerous, so I had to jump in and do everything I could.
Otherwise, you cannot even stand on the same level as a genius.
“And I’ll just have to watch it.”
I felt something creepy in Bianca’s eyes.
Bianca, looking straight into Crashu’s eyes, pursed her lips and then gently took Crashu’s hand.
“I don’t want to just watch. “If something goes wrong with Mr. Crashu, I would rather do something wrong next to you.”
At the same time, she expressed her honest feelings.
Krasch repeatedly opened and closed his lips.
Unknowingly, Crasch thought that he needed to make Bianca strong enough to protect herself.
Krasch also remembers that people who couldn’t protect themselves all died.
Fortunately, since she had a hundred ghost days, her talent would be outstanding.
In the case of Bianca, who became a servant of the world eroder, it was almost like her future talent was forcibly taken away.
So, her original talent is sufficient.
So, I had the intention of introducing Bianca to her teacher through Crimson Garden.
But having her standing next to him was another story.
Standing next to Krashu was like having to join the generation of the firmament.
Be honest.
I hated it.
I didn’t want to take Bianca to that horrible place, and I felt bad that those guys were looking at her with different eyes.
‘… … Is this just my greed?’
Is it because of this greed that fathers raise their daughters?
Maybe it’s because of what he’s done with Bianca so far, but he may be protecting her too much.
‘It’s probably not the right direction.’
For Bianca’s sake, this method had to stop.
Because she won’t be a child forever.
Crasch raised his hand and stroked Bianca’s head once.
Her still small head swayed back and forth following Krasch’s hand.
“How could I be wrong? And even if I am wrong, there is no need for you to be wrong as well.”
Bianca looked at Crasch with a slightly pouty face.
Seeing that scene, Krashu somehow burst into laughter.
“I personally have something in mind. “Because I also think you should protect your own body.”
“I want to be by Mr. Crashu’s side.”
“After half a year, I have to go to Raheln Academy no matter what.”
Bianca fidgeted with her feet and then looked up at Crasch.
“… … “Can’t I go?”
It was quite intense when Bianca, who usually didn’t get upset, said that.

Krasch, who saw Bianca holding on to his collar, took his hand off her head.
“Sorry, this has to go.”
Raheln Academy is the path that Krasch must walk.
Since this was something that could not be compromised, Crasch declared, and Bianca let go of her collar and sat back in her chair.
“It’s not working.”
Krasch paused.
It doesn’t work.
Are you saying that what you did just now was intentional?
‘Is this guy getting smarter?’
If you ask me where I saw something like this, I think I’ll say I saw it in a book.
“all right. “I also don’t want to be a nuisance on Mr. Crashu’s path.”
“I never thought of it as a nuisance.”
“thank you.”
These days, whenever Crasch talks to Bianca, he feels like she keeps stopping him.
“Because I’m looking into one personally. wait.”
“all right.”
Bianca started reading the book again, naturally leaning on Crasch’s shoulder.
Krasch, who saw this, smiled bitterly and looked toward the window.
This is because the image of Cheongsonggwan was finally visible outside the window.
‘Nawon, I didn’t know you’d come back like this.’
Originally, I had no intention of returning this early, but there was a call from Valheim.
This is because the first prince of Staron said he wanted to meet him.
‘Prince 1.’
Hillnider Staron.
The only heir to the throne in Staron and the one who wants Staron to unite around the throne.
What king wouldn’t do that?
In the case of Staron, it was a little different.
This is because the name of the family Valheim is too high in Staron.
What’s worse, when Staron is mentioned, Valheim, not the kingdom, will be mentioned first.
So, for generations, the royal family had neither good nor bad relations with Valheim.
From the royal family’s perspective, Valheim is something that can never be abandoned.
However, at the same time, the concentration of Valheim’s power had to be checked to some extent.
‘But the first prince was the one who wanted to make Valheim his own.’
He was quite an enterprising person.
How could it be that the royal family, who always avoided marriage talks in order to check the concentration of power on Valheim, brought up marriage talks with Charlotte, who is said to be the greatest genius of this generation?
‘Rather than being afraid of increasing Valheim’s power, the 1st Prince is a person who wants Staron to grow with Valheim on its back.’
He was that kind of person.
Rattling-
Just then the carriage stopped.
As soon as we arrived at Cheongsonggwan, Bianca closed the book.
“The First Prince said he was coming.”
“Okay, so I plan on getting ready as soon as I get off.”
He is the 1st prince.
Krasch decided to prepare it in advance.
The moment Crashu opened the carriage door and got out, he spotted a familiar figure.
“Deacon Chief.”
“You’re causing a stir. “He is the 1st Prince of Staron.”
It seems that he came after hearing that Hill Rider was coming.
Well, if he became the first prince, he would be worthy of being personally greeted by the chief butler.
‘I think my mother probably wanted to come because of her personality.’
Kesselin must have been able to prevent it.
Meanwhile, Bianca got off the carriage and stood next to Crasch.
Seeing Bianca like that, Kesselin smiled very kindly.
“welcome. This is Lady Bianca Hadenhartz, and the head deacon of Walheim, Kesselin Walheim. “She’s a little old lady to Krasch.”
“Nice to meet you. “Kesselin Walheim, this is Bianca Hadenhartz.”
In response to Kesselin’s greeting, Bianca lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed politely.
Seeing that, Kesselin smiled kindly as if she had seen something very cute.
“Bianca, go in first.”
“yes.”
Bianca didn’t say anything and entered the room.
Kesselin, who had been watching this from behind, glanced at Crasch and asked.
“The curse is gone from Lady Bianca.”
Did you notice?
As if she hadn’t survived Valheim for nothing, she saw through the curse lightly.
“The curse on Lady Bianca must have been one that even famous magicians could not break.”
Then she looked back at Krasch with a grin on her face.
“What do you think? “Crash.”
“Iknow, right. “I think it’s fascinating.”
Krasch joked casually.
Looking at that, the chief deacon sighed briefly and did not ask any more questions.
“Yes, even for you who started late, it would be okay if you had at least one element to hide. Still, don’t blindly trust the curse. “You will pay the price.”
“I will take note of it.”
Although it is not a curse but an erosion of the world, Krasch did not say more.
Instead, they quickly prepared to welcome the first prince.
The first prince said that he wanted to meet Crashu in person.
So, Krasch washed his face thoroughly and changed his clothes.
I even finished checking directly with Kesselin.
“How much do you know about Prince 1?”
“I know that he is the first prince of Staron. And he’s a pretty enterprising person.”
“That’s pretty much all you know. If so, keep this in mind. “Prince 1 wants the power of Valheim.”
As expected, did Valheim understand what Hillnider wanted?
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Just in time, you’re here.”
At that moment, the sound of a carriage began to echo outside.
When Krashu glanced toward the window, he saw the First Prince coming there with several knights as his guards.
“I’m going to meet you.”
“Am I not going there myself?”
At Krasch’s question, an arrogant smile appeared on Kesselin’s face.
“Crash, we are Valheim.”
That arrogance was something only Valheim could have.
“His Majesty did not come in person, so would the person who is the master personally welcome and use someone who is still just a prince?”
Krasch once again realized what kind of place Valheim was.
And Krasch also tended to agree with what she said.
The place that Hillnider and Krasch have now created is a place for trading.
Valheim is the only family that can compete with the Staron royal family.
There was no reason to give up that advantage.
“Then let’s go meet you.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Krasch thought that there was a long way to go to follow Kesselin in this regard.
He was always far away from conflicts of interest.
Krasch pulled out a chair and sat down in the carefully prepared room.
Before returning, he was the first prince who was only interested in Valheim itself, so he had no ties in his life.
This time, when she was only 14 years old, she fell into the eyes of the first prince.
‘where.’
I’ll have to try some of the stupid things I learned from looking over my shoulder.
＊ ＊ ＊
Hillnider was walking down the hallway of Cheongsong Hall, following Kesselin who guided him.
Is it because the clean hallways that look as if the managers have been diligently cleaning them are part of Valheim?
For some reason, it felt cold.
‘Maybe it’s just my prejudice.’
That’s how he remembers the image of Valheim.
As he always thought, Valheim was a strange place.
Representative examples are the direct descendants of Valheim who are born strangely strong.
Together, they have grown into one of the world’s leading powers.
Nowadays, there is an additional stock of Balrog Balhaim in the Heavenly Four Rivers and Valheim in the Heavenly Ten Rivers.
In the past, there was an absurd era in which there were two in the four rivers in the world and three in the ten rivers in the world.
So, Valheim has always been a family of note.
This is a family that even the Staron royal family cannot afford to do hastily.
“Hillnider Staron, you have arrived.”
At that moment, Kesselin stopped in front of the door.
She lifted her hand and knocked on the door, pushing it open.
Then he stepped back to allow Hillnider to enter comfortably.
“Thank you for the guidance.”
Hillider briefly thanked me and entered the room.
Then I saw a boy sitting on a chair inside.
Is it because I am not yet an adult?
Still feeling like a child, he got up late and bowed his head when Hillider came in.
“Nice to meet you. Hillnider Staron, my name is Krashu Valheim.”
Hillnider smiled when he saw the boy who introduced himself as Krashu.
‘Strangely enough, he looks quite old.’
Although I heard he was 14 years old, the record he accumulated in just one year was impressive.
There are still a lot of rumors floating around, so the news hasn’t spread all over the world.
In just one more year, his news will spread throughout the world.
And those words were like saying that Krasch was completely out of the loop.
‘Even now, it is clear that that image has been completely removed only for Staron.’
Although Krasch’s words are not yet widely known to the general public.
All of Staron’s nobles noticed Krashu’s comeback.
The news from Valheim is something they cannot afford to miss.
‘The empire’s informants would have figured it out a long time ago, and the main informants of other kingdoms would be similar.’
So Hillnider knows.
This means that not only people but also people from all over will slowly start reaching out to Krashu.
‘I was treated harshly because it was half a penny, so if I stimulate that part well, I’ll think it’s good to take advantage of it.’
If only they could recruit Krashu and bring him into their faction before his head grows even for a day.
The thought that this might be an important move to delve into Valheim is probably spreading through everyone’s minds.
‘Indeed, does he know that fact?’
Hillnider pulled out a chair and sat down, following Krasch.
“I heard you’re busy with outside activities these days, so I’m sorry for calling you out like this. “I really want to see Valheim’s new flame.”
“it’s okay. “The First Prince came by to meet me in person, so I couldn’t miss him.”
Then, a word was heard that adequately identified their location.
“You said you defeated Nakcheon, the ghost of the Demonic Palace?”
“You heard the news too. Indeed, it is the royal family of Staron.”
“Haha, if it’s an achievement made by a member of our kingdom, we should definitely keep our ears open. When I heard that news, I was very proud. Isn’t what Valheim did what Staron did? “I can’t help but be proud.”
“I’m glad I contributed to the kingdom.”
“I hope you continue to work for ‘Staron’ in the future.”
Hillnider intentionally emphasized Staron more than Valheim.
However, Krasch accepted it calmly.
‘Hmm, surprising. Since he’s still young, I thought he’d react a little by inadvertently prioritizing Valheim instead of Staron.’
Krasch had no reaction to Hillnyder’s remarks.
‘It’s possible that he doesn’t attach much significance to Valheim itself due to his time as a half-pun.’
There is a possibility that he actually hates Walheim for treating him like an idiot and has a desire for revenge.
If that is true, it was the best chance for Hill Rider.
If you persuade them well, it was an opportunity to recruit a direct lineage from Valheim to your side.
When people who originally had nothing are given a chance, they jump at it more eagerly.
‘If you support this boy, stimulate his desire for revenge, and make him the head of Valheim.’
Starting with this generation, Valheim may become Staron’s faithful sword.
