Chapter 31 Ascalonga (5)

Hwaaaaaaa!

The light that filled all directions disappears.

With the sight of Zion slowly returning with him,

“Your Highness Zion!!!!”

Rohanna, who was almost in tears, came in.

Was it a lot of emotional distress?

In the short time since she met the black dragon Kalonis in Jinji, the area under Rohanna’s eyes had turned much blacker.

“Are you safe, Your Highness Zion?”

She almost runs and looks at Shion’s whole body.

After looking at it for a while, Rohanna breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be a serious problem if the royal family were to be harmed within the Ascalon family.

If Shion had made a mistake, she, who was in charge of guiding, would not have been able to avoid severe punishment.

“no way… … “Did you go into the forbidden zone and then come out?”

“that’s right.”

Zion nodded to Rohanna’s question.

“okay. All right.”

Rohanna’s eyes were filled with surprise at the answer, but she didn’t ask anything more.

This probably means that they will not be interested in information beyond their current location.

It was a good attitude for a subordinate.

“And His Highness Zion.”

With those words, Rohanna, who was close to the side, opened her mouth in a voice that only Zion could hear.

“The matriarch has come to her senses. “Please go right away.”

* * *

Cheongeomdang (天劍堂) where the head of the Ascalon family resides.

Its size was larger than most palaces in the imperial castle.

Although it may not be the Baekseong Palace, it is as large as the five palaces that exist around it.

When Shion entered the bedroom of the head of the Heavenly Sword Hall, he smelled a familiar scent.

The smell of death.

It was the smell I smelled when I entered the bedroom of Emperor Urdios.

“Meeting with Her Royal Highness Princess Agnes of Zion.”

There were already passengers in the bedroom.

Three middle-aged men greeting Zion.

They were the sons of the current family head.

People occupying 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in the line of succession.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t bring you here right away, Your Majesty.”

Among them, the second son, Riley Ascalon, who was second in line of succession, bowed his head deeply and opened his mouth toward Zion.

Unlike the other two brothers, who appeared to be typical warriors, his appearance gave off a gentle impression that made one believe he was a scholar.

And just like that, Riley was known to serve as the head of the Ascalon family.

“My father’s condition suddenly worsened, so we were late in taking urgent action.”

Riley’s very polite attitude.

From that appearance, Sion was once again convinced that the Ascalon family had decided to follow him.

“Please come this way, Your Highness Zion. “Your father wanted to see you very much.”

Are they still fighting over succession?

The eldest, Khalid Ascalon, seemed to take the lead, cutting Riley off and opening his mouth to Zion.

‘It’s only natural that they think the head of the family will die soon.’

With that in mind, Shion glanced at the three brothers and approached the bed where the matriarch was lying.

Soon, the image of an old man began to slowly appear in Zion’s eyes.

Ludwig Ascalon.

The head of the heavenly swordsman Ascalon, the best swordsman in the empire.

A being who has achieved an unrivaled level in the field of swords that no one else can reach and has been given the title of Sword King.

And as the fourth heaven among the ‘seven heavens’, it is a monster that has far surpassed the limits of the human species.

but,

‘also… … .’

Ludwig’s appearance in Sion’s eyes was so miserable that it was impossible to believe he was the same person.

A skinny, bony body and black spots covering the entire face.

Ssam juice, Ssam juice.

And even the sound of death-filled breathing coming out of your mouth.

The appearance was very similar to the appearance of the former emperor that Zion had seen before.

‘It has to be that way.’

Because the reason that made Ludwig like this in the first place was the same as the reason that killed Urdios.

‘Sky poison.’

A poison that is only effective for transcendental people who have reached ‘heaven’.

The period until complete poisoning takes several decades and the conditions for poisoning are extremely difficult, but once caught, it is a poison that can never be cured.

And of course there was only one place in the world that used this poison.

Ma station.

‘There’s no way those guys who swallowed up the imperial castle in the first place wouldn’t have reached out to the Five Great Families.’

It must already be rooted as deeply as the Imperial Castle, or even deeper than that.

The darkness that the black dragon Kalonis, whom I met a little while ago, spoke of also meant demonic beings.

“It’s been a while since I saw you, Your Highness. “Please understand that I am unable to show courtesy due to my physical condition.”

At that time, Ludwig, who was staring at Sion’s face, slowly opened his mouth.

A very cracked voice.

There was a hint of death in that voice as well.

“When I saw you before… … “You’ve really changed a lot.”

Is it because I’ve already heard this dozens of times?

There was no particular emotion in Zion’s eyes when he heard those words.

“What business did you ask to see me for?”

Additionally, since he had no intention of saying hello or anything, Shion got straight to the point.

The Sword King, who had been silent for a moment, opened his mouth again.

“… … “I wanted to say I’m sorry before I die.”

There was deep regret in his voice.

“About letting go of Your Highness’s hand before. I heard it from Alstein. “I wonder how hard you have endured since then.”

Twenty-four times.

The number of times Prince Shion’s life was at stake.

I heard that if you count simple assassination attempts, the number is much higher.

It was something I didn’t know about.

No, actually, I didn’t even try to find out.

I never dreamed that the fallen prince would be subject to that much control.

“I am truly sorry, Your Majesty. I have nothing else to say except this. But I don’t ask for forgiveness or make excuses for that. “If I went back in time, I would have made the same choice.”

There was no choice more foolish and dangerous than caring for a royal family member who was not capable.

If they had supported Prince Sion at that time, even the family’s existence could have been shaken.

Before Ludwig was Zion’s maternal grandfather, he was the head of the family of Ascalon, so he had no choice but to make that choice.

“Is that it?”

Shion smiled slightly as if looking into Ludwig’s mind and asked.

Even if I received an apology like this, it was okay if I didn’t accept it.

Anyway, it happened before Sion himself came into this body, and he would have done the same even if he were Ludwig.

“… … And, at the risk of shame, I would like to ask you a favor.”

After a moment of silence again, the main words flowed from the Sword King’s mouth.

“Can you accept us, the Ascalon family?”

Ludwig’s eyes as he said those words were already filled with determination.

“I know that Your Highness still views our family unfavorably. This is a family that has already given up once. So, I ask you to bow your head like this. “If you want this old man’s head on that condition, I will gladly give it to you.”

His posture is so low that you can’t even think of him as the head of the Heavenly Sword House.

In fact, Ludwig had already decided to serve Prince Sion a long time ago through thorough research and his own tests.

But I couldn’t shake the last doubt.

That’s why I planned today’s meeting and when I finally got to see Zion.

Doubt turned into confidence.

‘Those eyes.’

Overwhelming bored eyes that look down on everything in the world.

If not someone with eyes like that, who else in the world would be fit to be a ruler?

These were eyes that had never been seen in the old Prince Zion.

‘And one more thing… … .’

A piece of information that I really got by chance while researching Prince Shion.

According to the information, which cannot even be confirmed as true, Prince Sion may be the person the Ascalon family needs the most right now.

Therefore, this request was also Ludwig’s last struggle for his family.

‘This isn’t that bad.’

Seeing the matriarch like that, Shion smiled inwardly.

If the high-handed attitude still remained, I would have tried to shake up the game one more time and take the initiative, but it didn’t seem necessary.

“I don’t need your neck.”

Unlike the smile he was making, there was no emotion in Shion’s voice.

“I want you to pay with something else.”

“What else… … .”

Ludwig’s eyes were filled with doubt.

Shion slowly opened his mouth, looking straight into the Sword King’s eyes.

“Your family’s hidden sword.”

“… … !”

“Hand it over to me.”

At those words, the doubt in the matriarch’s eyes turned into bewilderment.

Like eternal shadows in the imperial family, there were hidden swords in the Ascalon family.

An armed group that never reveals its existence on the surface and only moves when the family’s survival is in danger, except under the orders of the head of the family.

How on earth does Prince Shion know of its existence?

“What are you talking about… … .”

“It’s no use acting like a fool. “The group that Lucas Ascalon belongs to.”

“… … .”

Ludwig remained silent as Zion mentioned the head of the place accurately.

Simply supporting Prince Shion and handing over the family’s hidden power were two completely different issues.

‘As expected, they don’t accept it all at once.’

Seeing the Sword King hesitate, Sion smiled slightly.

Because it was an expected reaction.

Therefore, Zion presented another card he had prepared in advance.

“If you pass on it, I’ll heal your body too.”

“!!!!!”

At Zion’s words, Ludwig’s eyes widened to an extent that could not even be compared to before.

And it was the same for the three successors who soon came to his side.

“What do you mean, Your Highness Zion?”

“Can you heal your father’s body?”

It was the body of the King of Swords that never got better no matter what he tried until now.

Therefore, it was difficult for them to believe even if it was Zion’s words.

Their eyes are filled with complex emotions and the atmosphere in the room is filled with agitation.

Shion took a quick look at the reaction of one of the successors.

at that time,

“that word… … “Is this true?”

Ludwig, who was looking at Sion with trembling eyes, asked with an expression of disbelief.

He was accurately aware of his body’s condition.

A condition that can never be cured unless God himself performs a miracle.

That’s why I’ve already given up on treatment.

“I don’t say I can do what I can’t.”

Shion answered with drowsy eyes towards the Sword King.

It was the same ‘sky poison’ as Urdios, but there were several differences from then, so this can be said.

First of all, the level of the Black Emperor was greatly improved, and Ludwig’s physical condition was also much better than that of the former emperor.

Perhaps the period of complete addiction did not seem to be very long.

‘At this level, the Black Star is enough to deny the poison inside.’

Of course, because of your weakened body, you will have to do it several times.

“really… … .”

Ludwig’s eyes began to fill with hope as he heard Zion’s confident words.

If I could truly heal my body, I could willingly hand over the hidden sword to Prince Sion.

Because his existence was worth that much, no, more than that.

“Then I guess you accepted it.”

Seeing Ludwig like that, Sion raised the corners of his mouth and slowly lowered his hands.

Treatment could start right away, but there was one thing to do before that.

“And there’s one thing I’d like to ask.”

“Please tell me.”

The Sword King looked at Sion as if asking what was happening.

“If you get better, what will you do first?”

“yes? What is that… … .”

When Ludwig’s eyes were filled with doubt at the question whose meaning he did not know, Zion’s words continued.

“I met a black dragon before coming here.”

“… … !”

“That guy said. He said now that what he wants and what you want as the head of the family will be the same.”

Ludwig, who had a blank expression for a moment at those words, slowly began to sink.

A cold voice soon flows from his mouth.

“First of all, we need to clean up all the bugs that are eating away at the entire family.”

“So what if one of those bugs is here now?”

Looking at the Sword King with drowsy eyes, Sion asked the question once again.

Sreuk-

Eclaxia is held in the hands of Shion, who hangs down with him.

“Of course, shouldn’t we kill him right away?”

Ludwig, who saw that, responded with his eyes shining coldly.

“Your Majesty, why is it suddenly black… … .”

It was a moment when the successors watching from the side expressed doubt.

“i think so too.”

Sion responded to Ludwig’s words with a grin,

Suddenly!

With Iclaxia, he beheaded Riley Ascalon, the Sword King’s second son.
