I became the youngest prince in the novel episode 2
Chapter 1 Thinning (1)
“Look at the magic light here.”
“It seems like only the core was cleverly damaged. “What happened?”
“Don’t you know that? I’m just hissing, but last night here… … .”
The palace is busy erasing traces of the attack that occurred last night.
“… … .”
Unlike the busy servants, the old knight Fredo stood still and looked at the door.
Prince Zion, the lord he served, was beyond that door.
Ever since the attack by unknown assassins last night, his master had gone into his bedroom and had not come out even once until the evening was almost over.
“His Royal Highness… … .”
As Fredo muttered like that, the events that happened last night began to appear again in his mind.
The tip of the sword stopped in midair.
The assassin’s head explodes.
Even the appearance of Prince Zion looking at the scene with calm eyes.
That sight was so foreign that even Fredo, who had been by the prince’s side since he was born, got goosebumps.
As if I was seeing a completely different person.
‘What on earth is happening…? … .’
Has the holy blood of the Agnes royal family awakened, even if belatedly?
If not… … .
There was concern in the eyes of the old knight looking at the door.
* * *
I became a character in a novel.
It’s hard to believe, but it was a conclusion I came to after collecting and thinking about information from last night until now.
‘I don’t know who is like this or why… … .’
Thinking so, the emperor looked into the mirror.
Then what he saw was not his original appearance, but a man with dark gray hair and skin so white that it was transparent.
The emperor knew who this man was.
Zion Agnes.
He appeared in just a few lines at the beginning of the ‘Chronicle of the Flosimar Warriors’ that I was reading, and was one of the princes of the Agnes Empire in the novel.
A weak nature that cannot even kill a passing ant, and a sickly body that leaves you out of breath just by walking.
In addition, because he did not have any supporting power, he was pushed out of the battle for the throne long ago and was confined to a villa on the outskirts of the imperial castle.
The reason why Sion Agnes only appeared in a few lines was simple.
Because it ended its life as soon as it appeared.
A person who is embarrassing to even say that he came out.
‘Originally, he should have lost his life in the attack that happened yesterday.’
As the emperor who became Zion thought so, he remembered the events of yesterday.
After reading ‘Chronicle of the Flosimar Warriors’ to the end, I closed my eyes for a moment and when I opened them, I saw an assassin wrapped in black cloth slashing his sword at me.
If his power, ‘Black Star River’, was not a power that is more influenced by the soul than the body, he would have lost his life just like in the novel.
‘Still, I need to train. ‘It’s such a bad body.’
Shion looked at his body for a moment, as if it would break if he hit it, and then lightly tapped the table with his finger.
‘If this world is really the world in ‘The Plosimar Chronicles’, it will be destroyed in three years.’
‘Flosimar Hero Chronicles’ covers in detail the three years from just before the hero appears until the world is destroyed by the devil.
In the novel, the death of ‘Sion Agnes’ is dealt with at the beginning of the chronicle, so it means that there is a certain amount of time left in this world.
‘I need to change.’
Shion felt it intuitively.
It may take a long time to find out the identity of the person who put you in this body and how to get back.
It would be troublesome if the world were destroyed before we figured it out.
‘In order to do that… … .’
The division of the empire was the biggest reason for the destruction of the world.
I had to solve it.
‘It will be two years before a full-scale war between humanity and demons breaks out.’
impossible.
It was impossible to resolve the division of Agnes, the great empire that ruled the entire world except the Demon Region.
Moreover, they are extras who are not the main characters, especially those who have three-line minor roles with a presence worse than air.
However, in Zion’s eyes, it was interest, not anxiety, that was young.
The original world was free for Zion.
Because there was nothing more to achieve or anywhere to move forward.
That’s why Zion liked the world in this novel.
I really enjoyed the current hopeless situation where I had to change the impossible into the possible.
The higher and harder the wall blocking the front was, the more intensely Zion felt his heart pounding.
There was no fear of not being able to achieve it.
king of the world.
Zion had already achieved transcendent achievements that no one else had achieved.
If you put your mind to it, you can just put it in your hand.
‘I need to clean up the surroundings first.’
After thinking while looking at the list on the table, Shion got up and left the bedroom.
The repaired magic lamp suddenly illuminated the dark castle, as if the sun had already set.

“Your Majesty the Prince!”
Did he keep waiting in front of the door?
As soon as Zion walked out the door, Fredo welcomed him with a bright smile.
The old knight was looking at various parts of Shion’s body, perhaps because he was still not at ease even though he had thoroughly inspected it last night.
There was deep worry in the old knight’s eyes.
“Are you feeling okay?”
Shion nodded slightly towards Fredo and slowly started walking down the hallway.
“Your Highness Zion, where are you going?”
Fredo asked, following behind Zion as he walked.
“Has it ever happened like this before?”
Shion did not answer that question and asked back at the old knight.
“yes?”
“The raid.”
Fredo’s expression changed strangely at Zion’s words.
Have you lost your memory due to the shock of last night’s attack?
Fredo answered, erasing that thought.
“… … “This is the first time an assassin has entered the palace so openly.”
That would mean that similar attempts had been made several times before, although not explicitly.
‘It’s going further than I thought.’
Shion chuckled as he thought about that.
Although the ‘Chronicles of Plosimar’ did not list the people who instigated yesterday’s attack, it was easy to guess.
Chimseong Palace, where Zion currently resides, is so far away that it is embarrassing to call it the outskirts, but it was still a palace included in the imperial castle.
There were not many people in the empire who would send an assassin to such a palace and even clean up the situation.
“I will report this to the Imperial Palace and further strengthen the security here… … .”
“no.”
“yes?”
“There’s no need for that.”
In any case, nothing would change unless the fundamental problem was solved.
The same situation will happen as yesterday when the number of palace guards increased from one hundred to one thousand.
Therefore, Zion was planning to take the first step toward solving the fundamental problem from now on.
‘First, start with the eyes.’
Shion thought so and looked at the main gate of the palace visible at the end of the hallway.
Like other palaces, the main gate had a grand scale, but there was one difference.
A typical main gate has guard knights stationed outside to protect the castle from enemies.
However, strangely enough, the main gate of Chimseong Palace had guard knights stationed inside.
As if blocking the inside.
“… … .”
Even though they saw Zion coming towards them, the knights guarding the main gate did not even raise their heads, let alone salute.
All I could do was just stare blankly at Zion.
An unbelievable attitude towards their lord.
The knights’ actions seemed so natural, as if they hadn’t done it once or twice.
Shion, whose expression did not change as if it did not matter, was about to pass by the knights and open the front door.
“Where are you going? “His Royal Highness.”
One of the knights guarding the main gate held out his arm and blocked Sion.
“I’m feeling stuffy, so I’m going to get some air.”
Shion, who was quietly looking at the knight’s arm blocking his path, calmly opened his mouth.
“The sun has already set. “It’s dangerous, so stay inside the palace.”
“I think it’s more dangerous inside the palace.”
With those words, Shion took a step forward, but the knight did not retract his outstretched arm.
“I have been ordered not to send His Highness away. “You cannot leave.”
“Whose orders did you receive?”
The corners of Shion’s mouth slightly turned up.
“You guys are under my command. “But I don’t remember giving such an order.”
“… … “You cannot leave.”
The knight, repeating the same words like a parrot, blocked Prince Sion with his body and closed the distance as if to put pressure on him.
This Chimseong Palace was like a prison without bars, and Prince Sion was a prisoner imprisoned in that prison.
There was only one crime.
The sin of being born as a prince and not having any qualities or power.
And it was a great crime.
‘I thought I knew my situation well… but… … Wasn’t it?’
The knight’s eyes as he looks at Sion begin to become tinged with irritation, annoyance, and contempt.
“Fredo.”
A low voice came out of Sion’s mouth as he stared into the knight’s eyes.
“yes.”
“As far as I know, the worst punishment for the royal family is death. Is that correct?”
“… … you’re right.”
Fredo, who was behind him, answered that question in a puzzled voice.
Zion’s question continues without heeding anything.
“What about negligence in royal guard duty?”
“This is a real sentence.”
“What about the assassination of the royal family?”
“This is a real sentence.”
Slowly, the look in the eyes of the knight blocking him begins to change.
“What about the conspiracy to assassinate the royal family?”
“True sentence… … no see.”
Zion’s eyes widen.
“What… now?” … !”
The moment an urgent voice comes out of the knight’s mouth.
Suddenly!
A line was drawn in the air.
And what follows.
Tuk, degurrr-
The knight’s head fell from the body and rolled on the floor.
It happened literally in an instant.
“… … .”
The voices flowing from the mouths of everyone watching the scene stopped.
I didn’t understand what had happened.
Prince Shion had never even learned self-defense, let alone swordsmanship.
Prince Sion decapitated the knight with his bare hands?
That easy too?
A sight that cannot be understood even when seen.
In the silence created like that, Shion brushed off the hand that cut off the knight’s head as if nothing had happened, opened the front door, and walked out of the palace.
The refreshing night air you feel as soon as you step out the door.
“As expected, this place… … .”
Shion looked up at the sky and muttered, taking a deep breath of the night air.
Red Moon.
The moon, which was a completely different color from the blue moon of the original world, showed that this was a different world.
Tadadat!
“Your Highness Zion! “What on earth have you done now?”
Soon, Shion’s eyes caught the sight of knights running towards us from inside the palace, accompanied by panicked voices.
At the same time, the corners of Shion’s mouth slowly rise.
“I will be grateful if you come to me on your own feet.”
The attack took place last night.
It was an attack that could never have been permitted in its original form.
If there was no sympathy within the palace.
That’s why Shion thought.
Who really sympathized with the attack on Chimseong Palace?
There was only one conclusion to that.
‘Everyone who was in the palace last night except the dead man and Fredo.’
In particular, the knights had no room to make excuses.
That may be why the palace was so quiet even though the prince himself was attacked.
Last night’s attack must have been the work of several forces, not just one.
The list of knights who stood guard last night, which he had previously obtained, begins to appear in Sion’s mind.
Included in that list was the name of the knight whose head had been beheaded moments before.
‘Normally, it would have played the role of conveying information from inside the palace to the outside.’
This was an opportunity.
An opportunity to remove all the eyes and ears plugged into Chimseong Palace from the outside.
The justification was not enough; it was overflowing.
No, even if there was no justification, I couldn’t miss this opportunity.
‘In addition, check your current physical condition.’
As Zion looked at the approaching knights, darkness began to stir like a haze around him.
