I Became the Youngest Prince in the Novel Chapter 158

I became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 158

Chapter 44: Attack (1)

A rare cafe located near the central square of Legero.

Inside such a cafe, a group of warriors, including a silver-haired woman, were sitting opposite, and a group of Rat mercenaries led by Elesis were sitting across from them.

“… … “Can’t we think about it again?”

The woman looked at Elesis across from her for a moment, then her mouth slowly opened.

A voice that is calm yet filled with a vague sense of longing.

Elesis’ eyes wavered for a moment due to that unknown emotion, but she shook her head.

“sorry. I don’t think we can be together now. I’m not good enough for that… … “There is something I must do first.”

“If it has to be done…” … .”

“pay. “There is someone to whom I must prove my worth and repay the favor.”

A reward for saving my life.

He could have even received life-saving help not once, but twice.

“… … .”

Is it because I saw Elesis’ strong will in her silence as soon as she finished speaking?

The woman stood up without saying anything more to her.

“… … okay. If you change your mind next time, please come visit me at any time. “If you put your mind to it, your God will guide you to me.”

“Yes, thank you for understanding.”

With those words, the woman took one last look at Elesis’ face as she bowed her head, then immediately turned around and left the cafe.

“It’s hard to get colleagues, right?”

“I hope to see you again next time.”

Rain and the giant follow the woman.

How much time had passed since they all left the cafe?

“Whoa… … “I really thought I was going to die from suffocation.”

Rath, who was next to me, opened his mouth in a fuss.

“Isn’t it a joke to feel pressure even though it’s natural? I don’t think they’re like this… … Why did you decline the offer, Ellie?”

“You idiot, they say they are the hero and his companions. If it were you, would you believe and follow someone who introduced you for the first time and told you to go together?”

“no.”

When Amber scolded Ratt for his words, Elesis shook her head.

“I believe that.”

The moment I saw the silver-haired woman, I knew it without even saying anything.

That woman is a warrior.

There was no special basis or reason.

A feeling close to certainty, like hearing a voice in a dream.

Elesis knew that it did not originate from herself, but from ‘someone’ connected to the angelic blood flowing through her body.

‘And the instinctive attraction I felt with him.’

If it had been his original self, he would have accepted the moment the woman asked him to join her.

But there is only one reason for not doing so.

“It’s just that there’s something I really need to do first.”

It was because of Prince Sion Agnes.

Ever since what happened in the old Angelosh domain, debt has always been in Elesis’ mind, and repaying that debt took priority over everything else.

‘Of course, I don’t know how to repay it yet… … .’

Still, it seemed like he had some of the qualifications that Prince Shion had mentioned, so I felt like I could go see him now.

It was a moment when anticipation welled up in Elesis’ eyes at the thought of being able to see Prince Sion again.

Rattling!

The cafe’s door opened and a group of paladins entered.

“What’s going on with the paladins all of a sudden?”

Amber’s murmurs reach my ears.

At that time, the Holy Knights who were looking around the cafe for a moment spotted Elesis and began to approach at a fast pace.

“Are you Elesis Desire?”

Soon, one of the Holy Knights who stopped in front of her asked with shining eyes.

“yes? yes… … .”

The paladin bowed his head politely with a brighter face at Elesis’ answer.

“My name is Alphonse, a third-class paladin of the Church of Light. “Could you please accompany me to the church for a moment as a candidate for a saint?”

An uplifting voice flowed from the paladin’s mouth.

A small lake near Hubris, the capital of the empire.

Inside a small cafe built right next to the lakeside, Shion lifted his teacup and looked out the window.

Shoot!

Rain falls little by little from a dark sky covered by clouds, creating gentle ripples on the surface of the lake.

Zion preferred rainy days like this to sunny days.

On days like this, it seemed like it was easier to organize the thoughts in my head.

Adding this fragrant coffee to it was the icing on the cake.

“Okay, I feel like my throat is burning every time I eat, but strangely it’s okay. “Why didn’t I know something like this existed before?”

Next to Zion, Liu Sina continued to sip on soda-filled ade and exclaimed in admiration.

She must have been addicted to it ever since she first tasted it at Geonkukje. Since then, whenever she drinks anything other than water, she always orders only carbonated drinks.

Was he even curious about the taste of carbonated beverages?

Tweet!

The frost spirit who was sitting on Shion’s shoulder and looking at him came with a straw in his mouth, put it in the cup of ade that Liu Sina was drinking, and sucked on it.

After a moment of silence,

Damn it!

As if in shock, the frost spirit opened its eyes wide and began to flap its wings rapidly up and down.

A spirit that gurgles as if it has eaten something inedible.

Tweet! Jjajajajajack! Jack!

After cackling for a while, the spirit pointed at Liu Sina with the tip of its wing and began to chirp as if scolding her.

Do you even understand the words of such a spirit?

“Why is it my fault? Even though I didn’t ask her to drink it, she drank it herself. Anyway, I need to know about your strange personality from a long time ago.”

Liu Sina, who had a shameless look on her face as if it had nothing to do with her, opened her mouth while sucking on the ade.

Tweet jack!

“what? My personality is weirder? “What does that mean?”

tweet!

“okay? Would you like to ask me something? master! “Who is weirder in the eyes of the owner?”

Tweet!

As if they had made a promise with those words, Riosina and the Frost Spirit’s heads simultaneously turned to Zion.

Of course, from Zion’s point of view, it was fifty steps.

“If you make any more noise, I’ll let you both fight in the rain.”

“… … .”

Seeing the two finally becoming quiet after those words, Shion raised his teacup again.

Even though the next destination, the ‘Tower of Causality’, had just appeared in the world, the reason why Zion was relaxed enough to visit a hidden cafe nearby was simple.

‘If I go now, I won’t be able to get in anyway.’

Those who created the greatest dungeon on earth, called the Tower of Cause and Effect, wanted as many beings as possible to come inside.

Therefore, a kind of grace period was placed on the opening of the tower.

It will naturally open when the adventurers and wizards who stick around there find out some information about the tower and that information spreads widely in the world.

Even if I go until then, I’ll just suck my fingers, so it’s better to get some rest here or make other preparations.

‘It won’t take that long.’

In fact, according to the chronicle, Zion remembered that it was opened exactly one week after the Tower of Cause and Effect was revealed to the world.

‘It would be nice if we could find the last piece of this guy before then.’

Thinking so, Shion looked at the frost spirit who was still engaged in a silent argument with Liu Shina.

The Frost Queen’s Power Piece was a very important item that would be used in the Tower of Responsibility and Consciousness that we were heading to this time.

Because it was the key that Shion needed to get what he wanted.

‘It’s hard to expect to find anything on Ouroboros anymore.’

Since three pieces have already been taken away by Shion himself, there is no need to make an effort to find the remaining one.

I was trying other methods, such as giving instructions to Thierry and Eileen, but it seemed like it would be difficult to find it in a short period of time.

Information about the location of the sculpture was not even provided in the chronicle.

The good news is that the pieces can serve as keys even if you don’t have to collect them all.

‘It’s imperfect, though.’

After organizing his thoughts up to that point, Shion turned his head and looked toward the imperial castle.

If he headed to the Tower of Human Beings this time, the imperial castle would be emptied again, but there was no particular worry in Sion’s eyes.

Because he already had an overwhelming advantage in the competition for the throne due to the leadership of the ‘World Council’ gained by suppressing the disaster, and all the powers and interests that were taken over by destroying 3rd Prince Enoch and 4th Prince Utekan.

If time passes like this without any special events, it will be Sion himself who ascends to the throne.

Stories about him were already slowly flowing out even among the nobles.

‘Of course, it would be a good idea to organize everything perfectly before that to avoid any noise.’

With that thought, Sion thought of the 2nd princess Evelyn and the 5th princess Deanna.

I had already been thinking about what to do with these two for a long time.

‘But as for Rubrios… … .’

It was then.

Jalang!

The cafe’s door opened with a clear bell ringing.

And a person wearing a robe appears behind an open door.

Since the entire cafe had been rented out, it was normal for there to be no more customers, but Shion’s eyes were peaceful as he looked at the figure.

‘They say dragons will come if you tell them.’

Because it was Shion himself who called that person here.

“I’ll give you a cup of black tea with warm milk.”

Inyoung, who was approaching Shion, said those words and took off the robe she was wearing.

What is revealed inside is golden hair like the light of the sun and an extremely beautiful face.

It was 1st Prince Rubrios.

* * *

“The tea tastes very good. “I never thought there would be a place in the capital that could make milk tea of ​​this quality.”

Liu Shina and the owner were sent out, leaving only the two of them left inside the cafe.

A soft voice came from Rubrios’ mouth as he tilted his teacup while looking out the window at the pouring rain.

“Zion, do you know that milk tea originated from our Church of Light? About 300 years ago… … .”

“Tell me first why you asked to see me. “You probably already know that I don’t like small talk.”

Shion opened his mouth, cutting off his words that were still continuing even though it had been a long time since they had seen each other.

The eyes of Sion and Rubrios meet each other along with him.

At that moment, the first prince’s eyebrows twitched.

The moment I met Shion’s eyes, I felt overwhelmed without realizing it.

‘I don’t think it was like this the last time I saw it… … .’

A huge pressure that could not even be compared to that time was felt from Zion’s drowsy eyes.

It feels as if I am standing in front of the former emperor when he was alive.

What on earth happened in the meantime?

Questions about him welled up within him, but Rubrios suppressed them and got to the point.

“… … I heard you visited the headquarters in Legero. I heard everything that happened there. You really did a great job. “First of all, I would like to say thank you once again on behalf of the church.”

When Rubrios first heard about him from the church, he could not help but be surprised.

From receiving designation from the light to weeding out the demons hiding within the church and reclaiming the seal.

Because it was all content that could shake up the entire church.

That’s why he wanted to talk about each and every detail in detail for hours, but Rubrios first spoke about what he thought was the most important and the reason why he came to Zion.

“You uncovered and organized all the demons that were hiding in the headquarters.”

“that’s right.”

“Then maybe… … Zion, did you know that there were monsters hiding not only in the Church of Light but also within the Imperial Castle?”

Although he did ask a question, Rubrios was confident that Shion knew.

Because only then could I explain everything that had happened so far.

No, maybe his youngest brother was already waging war with them beneath the surface.

Shion, who was looking at the first prince with calm eyes, opened her mouth in a calm tone.

“then?”

“… … !”

Rubrios’ face turns cold at Shion’s answer.

“Then tell me. “Everything you know.”

The first prince was fully aware of this.

How serious is this now?

A situation where the entire empire could possibly be overthrown.

In addition, he could not accept the fact that an unholy demonic presence was staying in an empire that should be filled only with the will of divine light.

Therefore, this matter was more important to Rubrios than anything else.

“Of course, there is one condition.”

“What is it?”

Rubrios asks Zion’s words with questioning eyes.

That moment,

“Give up the throne, and come under me.”

What he said to Sion at the funeral of the former emperor.

This time, the words came out of Zion’s mouth in a low voice.
