Became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 10
Chapter 6 Black Forest (1)
In the imperial castle, there are five palaces that boast the grandest scale, excluding the Baekseong Palace in the center.
Among them, the highest floor in the palace is red.
A man with gray hair, symbolizing the imperial family, was sitting on a chair similar to a throne, looking at the People’s Palace.
“… … .”
A man extends one hand toward Baekseonggung, which slowly comes into view.
The moment when the man was about to grab the outstretched hand.
“majesty.”
A low voice was heard from outside the door along with a knock.
“come in.”
The man stopped what he was doing and turned his head towards the door.
Soon, the man saw a wizard who politely opened the door and entered.
“Something happened at Chimseong Palace.”
A man who lowers his head and gets straight to the point.
“Day? What happened? We ordered the attack? They said it failed. “I don’t know why it failed.”
“It happened later than that.”
“What?”
“Demon energy was detected in Chimseong Palace.”
“Magi? What are you talking about?”
“There was nothing else to know. “Recently, all our eyes on Chimseong Palace have stopped hearing from us, and even when we interrogate the servants working there, they don’t open their mouths at all.”
“Infiltrate the eyes again and take a closer look.”
“All right. and… … .”
The man looked at the man as if he was wondering what the wizard was saying as if he had not finished what he had to say yet.
“There are rumors going around that Prince Sion has changed recently.”
“how?”
“First of all, I heard that his temperament has become very ferocious. Plus, they use unknown powers… … .”
“Have I finally gone crazy? Well, it could be because I received a death threat on a random day… … “He seems like a weak guy.”
The man snorted at the wizard’s words and opened his mouth.
“You don’t have to worry about those rumors. Because that guy was a loser from birth. He’s a guy whose only heritage from Agnes is his hair color. No matter how hard he struggles, he is nothing more than a bug crawling on the floor. Oh, now that I think about it, is it time to hold the succession ceremony? “What happened?”
“Seeing as there is no word of giving up, I think it will proceed as planned.”
“… … If you give up, I was going to leave you alone. “He goes on a rampage without even knowing what he is doing.”
With those words, the man who had been lost in thought for a moment and tapped the armrest of the chair with his finger opened his mouth.
“The succession ceremony.”
“yes.”
“How about changing it to something more fun?”
The eyes of the man who said that were cruelly widened.
* * *
The imperial castle is located in the center of the capital, Hubris, which is called the center of the world.
An imperial castle that boasts so much grandeur that it overwhelms those who see it.
Zion, who covered half of his face with a hood, was looking at the imperial castle.
‘Is there about a week left until the succession ceremony?’
The place where Zion thought so was the outskirts of the capital, Hubris.
Outside the obvious imperial castle.
After dealing with the monsters hiding in Chimseong Palace and organizing the surrounding area, what Zion did was to escape the imperial castle.
There was something I had to do quickly before the succession ceremony, and for that I had to inevitably go outside.
‘I think it was this way.’
Sion walks while reminiscing about reading the Flosimar Chronicles.
Usually, when a member of the direct royal family leaves the palace, numerous people, including guards, follow them, but there was no one by Shion’s side as she walked down the street.
That was because Zion had secretly left.
‘Maybe because it was on the outskirts of the Imperial Castle, it was easier to get out than I thought.’
The only person who knew that Zion was out now was Fredo.
The rest of the servants and knights probably thought that Sion was just going back and forth between the bedroom and the underground training room, never leaving the house.
They said they had completely removed the eyes, but Sion didn’t completely believe them.
Therefore, he made people believe that the monster incident was the work of a warlock who hid the truth and simply wanted to assassinate him.
It was natural that there was a strict crackdown on entrance.
Still, it will spread someday, but it will be okay for the time being.
‘It looked suspicious, but I guess we won’t run into each other for a while.’
Lastly, how long did I walk while thinking of Priscilla?
‘Is it here?’
Shion stopped in front of a building and looked at the sign.
Moonlight dinner.
As you can see from the name, this restaurant was quite well known in the capital.
From the second floor, where there are private rooms, you cannot enter unless you make a reservation.
But Zion did not come here to eat.
Information Guild Eye of the Moon.
That was the identity of this restaurant.
No, to be exact, it was one of the secret branches of the guild Eye of the Moon.

“May I take your order?”
A mustachioed employee approached Zion, who was sitting at one of the tables on the first floor, filled his glass with water and asked politely.
“Fried snowflakes served with sunlight-soaked liquor.”
It was a comment that was cringe-worthy because it wasn’t on the menu at this restaurant, but it was something that had to be said.
Because it was the request order password for this place.
It is a very classic method, but it is so efficient that it is still used to this day.
“All right.”
Despite saying the password, the employee who took the order without changing his expression went to the counter for a moment, exchanged words with another employee, and then approached Sion again.
“customer. “I will show you to a private room. Would you like to come here?”
At the polite gesture that accompanied those words, Shion stood up and followed the staff member’s instructions.
To get to the private room, you had to climb the stairs to the second floor, but the staff guided Zion to the entrance to the passage leading down to the basement.
The employee, without further explanation, begins to walk down the passageway, where there is only enough light to barely illuminate the view.
Jerk, jerk.
How long did you walk following that employee?
Suddenly, the passage widened significantly, and a round cavity caught Zion’s eyes.
And a desk in the center of the common, and a woman sitting behind the desk.
A woman with red-brown hair tied up in a ponytail and wearing round glasses was looking searchingly at Shion, who had followed behind the employee.
“This is my first time as a customer here.”
A calm voice that matches his appearance.
‘Is this the branch manager?’
Shion thought this as he looked at the municipal employee politely standing next to the woman and immediately opened his mouth to the woman.
“I’d like to make a request.”
The woman, who looked at Zion in silence for a moment at the blunt words, immediately answered.
“great. But before that, could you please identify yourself?”
Shion chuckled at those words.
“Since when does the Intelligence Guild require the client’s identity?”
“Originally, we wouldn’t ask for something like that, but… … “This is a special case.”
A cold light appeared in the woman’s eyes as she looked at Zion.
“Special case?”
“Do you know anything? It wasn’t long before this ‘Moonlight Feast’ became a branch of ‘Moon Eyes’. “It’s not even officially opened.”
Talk, Tododog.
A woman begins to tap on the desk as if in a certain rhythm.
“So, most people within our guild, let alone outsiders, still don’t know the identity of this place. I even remember the faces of people I know. But you… … .”
Tuk.
“How on earth did you find out about this place?”
The moment the woman’s hand that was tapping on the desk stopped with those words.
Sugagagagak!
The masked people hiding in the communal darkness simultaneously thrust their swords at Zion.
Was it because it happened so quickly that he couldn’t react?
Zion’s gaze is still focused on the woman.
Soon, the swords were finally plunged into Zion’s neck and heart.
no.
“… … !”
I tried to get stuck.
One inch.
Swords that can no longer move forward, exactly one inch before Zion’s vital point.
Get the card!
Even though the masked men’s arms were so strong that they trembled, the swords did not move at all.
As if a sword had been thrust into highly compressed sand.
And before you know it, an alien darkness surrounds those swords.
“What is this…?” … .”
The eyes of the woman and the masked men stabbing the sword begin to shake as they see the strange scene.
“I guess it was a little early.”
A low voice flowing from Zion’s mouth.
What on earth is so fast?
Before the woman could finish her question, Zion’s hand moved.
Kwaaaaang!
The Black Star, which quickly grew on Zion’s right hand, instantly blew away all the masked people on the right.
Masked people slumped against the wall, unable to even properly resist.
At that moment, the masked people on the other side grabbed their swords, which had suddenly become loose, and stabbed them once again towards Sion.
Squirt!
The swords are reaching towards Sion’s neck even sharper than before.
But this time too, the sword could not reach Sion.
undercurrent.
Shion, who had penetrated the gap between the sword strikes like a ghost, stretched out his hand without hesitation.
Kwasizik, Kwasizik, Kwasizik!
Exactly one hit.
The masked people who were unable to respond to Zion’s attack and allowed it to continue began to fall to the floor.
“how… … .”
An embarrassed voice flowing from the woman’s mouth.
Those masked people were skilled guards assigned at the guild level for the woman who had a special status in ‘Eye of the Moon’.
But to be defeated that easily?
“It doesn’t matter how I found out.”
In the meantime, Shion, who had cleared away all the masked people, approached the woman, tying up his disheveled robe again.
“The important thing is that I make a request and you listen to it.”
It came earlier than when the ‘Eye of the Moon’ branch started accepting requests, but it didn’t matter.
Just take it if you want it.
The woman looked at Zion with trembling eyes for a moment and finally opened her mouth.
“What do you want?”
* * *
“Information about the Black Forest and a fake ID… … .”
The woman, Eileen, muttered as she remembered the man in robes who leisurely left with what he wanted a little while ago.
There are two things a man wants.
It was the certificate that would prove his identity and the location of a place called ‘Black Forest’.
“Eileen. “May I ask why you received the request?”
Next to Eileen, Allen, a mustachioed employee, asked curiously as he cleaned up the debris.
As far as he knew, this woman named Eileen was never the type of person to give what she wanted to an inappropriate client.
Even if it means your life is threatened.
Moreover, even if she couldn’t deal with the man just a moment ago, she would have already created several escape routes.
However, Eileen very easily accepted the robe man’s request.
It was also a request from an opponent who even tried to kill him using his bodyguards.
“Do you remember the battle a little while ago?”
In response to Allen’s question, Eileen, who was barely able to breathe as she watched the escorts being carried away, opened her mouth.
“yes. “How could I forget?”
“At that time, the man’s robe came off slightly for a moment.”
And at that moment, Eileen could see.
Dark gray hair.
“Ashen hair… … “There is only one family in the world with that hair color.”
The family that now rules this world.
Agnes family.
Only the purebloods of the Agnes family could have that color.
“That means… … .”
“I think one of Agnes’s lions has moved.”
The imperial family rarely comes out.
However, once it came out, it inevitably caused a huge stir in the world.
“I will send someone by special express.”
Eileen nodded slightly at Allen’s words and continued.
“Please investigate in detail who he is among the royal family, why he came out of the imperial castle, why he moves alone, and additionally the ‘Black Forest’.”
“All right.”
As Eileen watched the back of Allen leaving the cavity with stern eyes, she thought of the man from before again.
‘Who the hell is it?’
Overwhelming charisma that can take over everything at once, and the power to back it up.
He was definitely one of the people closest to becoming the next emperor.
In Eileen’s mind, there was no thought that the man from before was Sion Agnes, the so-called imprisoned prince.
