I became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 146

Chapter 39 Trust (1)

A plaza of light located in the center of Legero, the city of light.

“and! Really, all the buildings are white, right? “How much money did you spend on this?”

Rat, the leader of the Rat mercenaries, muttered in surprise as he looked at the buildings with a godly atmosphere surrounding them.

It was his first time visiting the City of Light, and it was his first time seeing such a sight, so his surprise was even greater.

“Don’t look around and make so much noise. Everyone around you is staring. “I feel embarrassed because I look like a country bumpkin.”

Ember, another member of the mercenary group, slightly stepped away from Rath’s side and caught people’s attention.

“Haha, it’s actually my first time here, so I guess I’m a country bumpkin. Let’s go to the Church of Light headquarters a little later. “I heard they’ll let you tour the inside.”

Despite those words, Rat is still shouting excitedly and looking around.

Ember shook her head as she looked at him, then looked at Elesis, who was following silently from behind, and asked.

“But Ellie, why did you ask me to come to Legero? “Isn’t it time to tell me?”

In fact, the reason they were in the City of Light was because of Elesis.

A few days ago, she said she wanted to go to Legero, and in the end, Rat and Amber followed Elesis’ words and came here.

Of course, I did not forget to cover my travel expenses by accepting requests from here as soon as I arrived.

“hmm… … “I’ll tell you later.”

Elesis answered Amber’s question with a slight pause.

In fact, she also did not know the exact reason why she had to come here, the City of Light.

A few days ago, someone whispered the word ‘Les Gero’ in my dream, and as soon as I woke up, I had a strong intuition that I had to head there.

That’s why I couldn’t tell my colleagues.

“I think I know? “Aren’t you planning to participate in the upcoming saint competition?”

At that time, Rat, who had finished watching and came to the side, smiled and opened his mouth.

“Hey, how can I participate there…?” … .”

Elesis responds by waving her hand.

That’s right, in order to participate in the saintess competition, you had to have an exceptional talent for handling divine power.

A level of competition that a novice priest like her could not even dream of.

“Why can’t you do it? Ellie, I think you have a lot of potential. Your skills have improved tremendously since your time at Angelosh Territory. “I put in a lot of effort.”

Elesis smiled in gratitude at Amber’s words, and an image of someone naturally appeared in her mind.

‘Prince Zion… … .’

He was the person who always came to mind whenever the affairs of the Angelosh Estate were mentioned.

In fact, the reason she worked so hard to improve her skills was because of Prince Sion.

In order to repay the life debt he owed, he had to be at a level worthy of him.

So I was trying hard, but it was still a long way off.

‘I wonder how much more effort I have to make to get there… … .’

There was a bitterness in Elesis’ mouth when she was young.

“… … uh?”

Her eyes shook as she discovered something.

A man walking through a crowd of people in the distance.

‘Zion… … ‘Prince?’

Although only his profile was visible, the man’s appearance was very similar to that of Prince Sion whom Elesis had seen before.

Even the hair dyed black.

Tadat!

As soon as she realized that fact, she was running towards the man without realizing it.

“Ellie? Where are you going all of a sudden?”

Ember’s call comes from behind.

Elesis’s attention was so focused on the man that she couldn’t even hear that call.

But when she arrived after running like that,

“ah… … .”

The man who was there had already disappeared.

* * *

The first thing Sion did after entering Legero was to make contact with the Eye of the Moon.

Originally, he would have had to testify about the attack to the Holy Knights gathered at La Morde Station, but he had left everything to Olivia and sneaked out before that.

“Si, I see you, His Highness Sion.”

“It’s been a while since I last saw you.”

Shion chuckled as he saw Narie, the special informant of the Eyes of the Moon, hesitantly greeting him.

Even though it was several months later, the fear of herself still existed in her eyes.

“I guess you got promoted in the meantime?”

Shion asks while looking around Narie.

I was told that the head of Legero’s branch would appear, but seeing that she was the only one there seemed to be true.

“Yes, I was promoted here after being promoted to branch manager.”

“Right. “What happened to your instructions?”

Shion nodded once in response and got straight to the point.

“Are you talking about entering the headquarters? “We have reserved the highest level tour ticket under the name ‘Zion Harness,’ so you will be able to get inside with ease.”

“and?”

“I spoke with several high-ranking figures within the church in advance. If you look around inside, you will see that they will first contact you secretly. If you follow them, you will be able to go deep into the depths.”

Of course, even if one went that deep, it was impossible to reach the place where the God of Light gave his oracle.

So from there, it depended on what Zion himself did.

‘You may have to reveal your identity.’

In fact, it would have been much easier than this if I had revealed my identity from the beginning and visited the headquarters officially, but there was a risk that my location would be exposed to enemies.

Therefore, during this journey, Shion planned to reveal his identity to only as few people as possible.

“If you have any further instructions, please call me at any time. then… … .”

Narie quietly lowers her head as she looks at Shion’s gaze.

at that time,

“Give me those additional instructions right now.”

Shion interrupted her and opened his mouth again.

“What kind of additional instructions… … .”

“There is something I need you to find out.”

“Are you talking about the Church of Light?”

To Narie who asked that question,

“No, the other side.”

Shion answered in a cold voice.

* * *

The Imperial Castle of the Agnes Empire, the center of the empire and the most magnificent building in the world.

When discussing buildings comparable to such imperial castles, there was one place that always came up.

This is the headquarters of the Church of Light.

The size of the main altar was so large that it was comparable to the Imperial Palace, as if it contained the vast divinity and mercy of the God of Light, and its appearance was so beautiful that it could be called a work of art.

“Zion, please come this way.”

Zion was touring the interior of the main altar under the guidance of Rubetto, a priest who was personally attached to him.

“Here, in the ‘Corridor of Light,’ there are paintings that represent the mythology, the history of the Church of Light, and the origins of the establishment of the Church.”

With those words, Rubetto begins to explain one by one the hundreds of paintings on the walls of the corridor.

As a guide for a top-class field trip, his words were interesting and not boring, but Shion looked around, letting the explanation slip through one ear.

Not only was I not very interested in the history of the Church of Light, but I had not come here to observe it in the first place.

‘When will the people Narie talked about come?’

In fact, there was some time to look around the headquarters, but Sion wanted to hurry this up as much as possible.

An attack on the Sun Train before coming to Legero.

And even the monsters of Legero that are related to him.

It didn’t feel very good.

As if something would happen at any moment.

If what Zion envisioned really happened, the city and the church would be engulfed in chaos, and it could become much more difficult to get to the oracle site.

‘So it would be better to deal with it before then.’

Of course, it was unclear whether the God of Light would grant the oracle even if they entered the oracle location, but Zion thought that he would most likely grant it.

The contents of the oracle I once heard from 1st Prince Rubrios.

I thought it was strange at the time because it was only his name, but now I had some idea of ​​its meaning.

‘It was calling me.’

A calling, not just a name.

Only by thinking that way could I understand the contents of the oracle.

The God of Light was waiting for him to come.

at that time,

“I guess you liked this picture.”

Rubetto, perhaps mistaken when he saw him standing still in front of a painting, came up to Zion’s side and opened his mouth.

“This painting represents the origins of the creation of Legero, the City of Light.”

An explanation that comes naturally along with it.

“A long time ago, of which there are no records, one of the angels who served the Light rebelled, and the Light sent other angels to punish the angel and sealed him on earth. After an incalculable amount of time had passed, the Light, concerned that the seal would weaken, gave an oracle to those who believed in him and built a city on top of the angelic seal. That city… … .”

“This place is called Legero, right?”

“Oh, you understand!”

I had no choice but to know better.

This information was also written in the Plosimar Chronicle.

“Of course, it is not a very accurate origin because it is very old and cannot be proven at present. “It’s just one of many theories.”

Rubetto said so, but Sion also knew that this origin was true.

In fact, there was a fallen angel sleeping underneath here, and the entire City of Light was acting as a suppressor to seal the angel.

In the chronicle, the angel’s seal comes close to being released by the devil, but is ultimately stopped by a group of warriors.

‘If he had been released, the empire might have collapsed before the war with the demonic forces.’

An angel capable of raising a flag of rebellion against God must have possessed power and authority beyond imagination.

‘And maybe this time…’ … .’

Along with that thought, it was time to recall in my mind the additional instructions that Shion had given Narie a little while ago.

“Oh! Zeon! “It’s Zeon!”

A loud voice came from the side.

Shion turned his head in the direction from which the voice came and saw a woman coming towards him at high speed.

A beauty with platinum-blonde hair and refreshing features.

It was Olivia.

“I was wondering where on earth he had suddenly disappeared, but then he ended up here?”

Her face, which asked Shion like that, looked very tired despite her loud voice.

That’s because he had just been released after giving testimony about the attack on the Sun Train in the reception room inside the church.

“Is the testimony over?”

“no. “There’s still a lot left, and now I’m just taking a break in the middle.”

In response to Shion’s question, Olivia looked like she was about to die and sighed.

Because the matter was so serious, the testimony had to be lengthy.

It was related to the biggest event, the Saint Maid Competition, and the subject of the attack was a demon.

Moreover, since Olivia was the only survivor of such an attack, her role was bound to be important.

“The entire denomination was turned upside down. “I think not only paladins and battle priests, but even inquisitors will move in large numbers.”

One of the groups that hated monsters the most within the empire was the Church of Light.

However, since it was revealed that such monsters were moving, this level of response could be said to be natural in a way.

“however… … “I’m dying to testify, but you’re here taking a leisurely tour of the church?”

Olivia’s eyes turned dark as she recognized that Rubetto, standing next to her, was the priest in charge of the tour.

Of course, it was just a joke, and she didn’t really have any feelings of blaming Shion.

Because he was a lifesaver who saved her life.

When Shion suddenly disappeared a little while ago, I wasn’t able to give thanks yet, so I was just worried, but there was nothing else.

‘Actually, even if I’m angry, I’ll calm down right away when I see that face… … .’

Once again, Olivia had a terrible face.

“But did you really come here to take a tour?”

“no.”

Shion shook his head at her question and slowly continued speaking.

“I have something to ask.”

“Would you like to ask?”

It was the moment when Olivia asked him a question with questioning eyes.

“You’re here!”

A loud voice echoed in the corridor once again.

A group of priests appear with him.

In front of those priests, a middle-aged man who appeared to be a high-ranking bishop was looking at them with a strangely passionate expression.

‘Are you here to see me?’

Olivia thought as she saw the priests approaching.

Her family was a sacred family with enormous influence in the Church of Light.

Therefore, it was no surprise that Olivia had belatedly found out that she was inside the church and came to say hello.

‘Still, this is the first time I’ve seen someone come to say hello to the level of a bishop.’

Meanwhile, the bishop and other priests came right in front and bowed their heads.

And at that moment,

“I’m here to pick you up! Designator of Light.”

Olivia realized that her thoughts were mistaken.

Because it was not she who the priests bowed their heads to.

They were bowing their heads towards Zion right next to them.

‘What the hell, are you…? … .’

The eyes of people around her naturally turn towards Olivia’s shaking eyes.

‘I don’t think it’s very secretive.’

Shion, who was trying to ignore those gazes, thought about what Narie said a moment ago.
