I became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 222

Chapter 56 Fairy Forest (2)

An abyss that can be said to be the center of Demon Station.

“It’s annoying.”

In the darkness, where even minimal visibility was not guaranteed, the voice of the frantic Archduke Acrimothia rang out.

Just like the content, there was a lot of irritation in her voice.

Even though most of the forces of jealousy had been wiped out not long ago, there was a reason why Acrimosia was in a bad mood.

“Did you find out where that guy jumped out?”

Because I missed the most important jelly.

In fact, it would be correct to say that compared to the Archduke, the importance of the forces below him was almost non-existent.

Because the power of the Great Supply Demon, who had already reached the level of a demi-god, could be gathered again at any time.

This was possible because he was a demon who only pursued power.

Therefore, as long as Jelis was not killed, there was a possibility that a rebellion like this could occur at any time.

“yet. “It seems like I escaped from the devil’s territory.”

Anger shook his head and answered that question.

His frantic eyebrows furrow even more.

“… … Ha, half of the available anti-aircraft power was lost in an instant. But nothing has been figured out. Even the guy who killed Oman.”

They couldn’t figure out how on earth Ogrit, who had the same power as them, was killed by humans.

Did the ‘First Sky’ even move?

No, no matter how much he moves, it would be impossible for him to do it alone.

“Our forces there were completely wiped out, so there is little information… … What did the king say about this matter? “I told you he had a reaction the last time I went to see him.”

“He ended with just one word, ‘Has it finally come out?’ After that, he became silent again.”

The angry voice that responded like that was filled with a shallow sense of skepticism.

In a way, it was a feeling of skepticism toward the king, who did not give any instructions or react even though the Demon Station itself was shaking.

at that time,

“Can I come in?”

The voice of a subordinate demon was heard from outside the abyss.

Unlike in the past, the news may not have been so urgent as the demon came in after asking for permission in advance.

“what’s the matter?”

“This time, the entity that destroyed Ogrit has been identified.”

But the content was enough to focus their attention.

“Well, who is it?”

“Who is it?”

At the same time, Acrimosia and anger urge an answer.

The moment a name came out of the subordinate demon’s mouth,

“This is Zion Agnes.”

The two Grand Dukes stood up.

* * *

The outskirts of the area where the border between the Demon Region, the Empire, and the Fairy Forest meets.

There, two demons were having a secret reunion.

“There’s no need to come out to meet me like this.”

Jellys, the Grand Duke of Jealousy,

“Because it’s Jelis, not another Grand Duke.”

It was Crevis, the entity that oversees the monsters in the Fairy Forest and one of the Five Demon Spirits.

Is it because he has been hiding in the fairy forest for almost a hundred years?

Crevis, wearing the skin of a middle-aged fairy man, looked even more fairy-like than a real fairy.

“I heard the latest news. “He must have been in quite a bit of trouble.”

“It’s not just an embarrassment. “She almost died?”

With those words, Jelis, who had been shaking her head with a tired expression, suddenly looked around with puzzled eyes and continued speaking.

“But you came out alone? “What about the other guys?”

“I was sent to meet you somewhere else.”

“different place?”

“This time, Sion Agnes visited the Fairy Forest.”

Jellis’ eyes took on a strange glow.

“… … “That Zion Agnes is here?”

“That’s right. Recently, there was even news that Ogrit was destroyed, so I felt it was necessary to keep a close eye on the area and gather information. “The attendants are perfect for that.”

Therefore, Crevis had filled most of the fairies that would first meet Shion Agnes with monsters.

That way, when selecting attendants from among them, they could easily plant eyes.

“okay? That kind of word is going around… … But will you be okay? They say that Sion Agnes has a way to reveal our identities? “It’s that red band or something.”

“From what I heard, several conditions had to be met. “Perhaps his identity will not be revealed right away.”

“What if I get caught right away?”

“I can’t help it. “But thanks to you, I get new information, so it won’t have been in vain.”

With those words, Jelis looked at Crevis guiding her and clicked her tongue inwardly.

‘This guy is quite capable too.’

Although he did not care much about his subordinates, Crevis thought of them as tools or expendables that could be discarded at any time.

“I need to regain some strength first. “I wasted a lot this time.”

Jelis opened her mouth as she walked along with the demonic spirit.

“All right.”

Crevis answered right away, as if he knew how to say that.

“Let’s take a rest first, and after the sun sets, go straight to the place where the ‘Magyesu’ is located. Arkenidian blessings and elemental power were collected there. “I’ve been saving it for almost a hundred years, so I’m sure you’ll be satisfied.”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

With those words, the two demonic forms completely disappeared from the spot.

* * *

The center of Elvrium, the capital of the Fairy Forest.

Among them, the building located at the deepest level is the ‘World Tree of Mercy’.

“H-how… … .”

Deanna’s sigh rang out in the conference room that existed within it and was normally only accessible to ‘leaves’.

Soon Deanna turned her gaze towards Zion, who was sitting across from her, and opened her mouth.

“Shouldn’t we at least give the word first and then do the work?”

Of course, what we are talking about here is the monster massacre that took place at the entrance to Elbrium earlier.

“You probably already know. “If I had moved after what I said, it would have been late.”

In response to Deanna’s question, Zion opened his mouth in his characteristic bored voice.

“And if it weren’t for this incident, I eliminated most of the rats that I wouldn’t have known about in the future, so shouldn’t you be thankful to me? “I understand that there were almost no casualties among the fairies.”

“okay! “I tried so hard not to kill you!”

Liu Sina, who was doing something else next to him, helped out with a triumphant expression.

“… … .”

Deanna cannot refute Shion’s words and remains silent.

Certainly, looking at the results alone, it couldn’t have been better than this.

but,

‘I don’t like it.’

This was not the capital of the empire, but a fairy forest that was Deanna’s own home base.

That’s why I didn’t want to let Zion run wild even here.

Meanwhile, Shion glanced at the Fifth Princess and the other leaves sitting around her, then opened her mouth again.

“Anyway, considering that the festival is about to start, you don’t look very good.”

“I knew there were so many monsters in the Fairy Forest, but it can’t be good.”

“I think there is another reason besides that.”

The faces of Deanna and the other fairies hardened as soon as Shion said those words.

Soon, a cold voice flowed from the mouth of the 5th princess, who stared into Shion’s eyes for a moment.

“… … I don’t know what or how much you know, but there’s nothing you can solve here. So, why don’t you finish your business quickly and return to the capital? I understand you already have a lot to do to prepare for war. “You will soon pay for dealing with the demons.”

There really was nothing Sion could do, and as I just thought, Deanna did not want Sion to be active in the Fairy Forest.

Even so, Zion’s reputation was soaring through the literally unimaginable feat of destroying one of the great dukes at the border.

In this situation, if he started to expand his influence to the Fairy Forest, he might really lose everything.

at that time,

“I… … “Your Highness Deanna.”

The second leaf, Spirena, who was listening to their conversation, cautiously opened her mouth.

“At the moment, it seems impossible to listen to His Highness Zion’s business.”

“I beg your pardon?”

After observing for a moment, she spoke in a voice so low that only Deanna could hear.

“As I said earlier, the current condition of the World Tree is not good. No, it could be said that it is on the verge of withering away. In this state, if someone enters the ‘cradle’, which is a forbidden place and a place where the World Tree is located, there is a risk that the situation will worsen further.”

There was no way to know what would happen if the World Tree, which was already weakened, made careless contact with outsiders.

Therefore, even Spirena, the current priest and manager of the World Tree, was unable to enter the ban.

“… … “Then what is the solution?”

“As I already said, we have no choice but to alleviate the condition by supplying even a small amount of elemental power… … .”

“ha… … .”

At those words, a sigh flowed from Deanna’s mouth once again.

There was currently no way to supply spirit power at the level of the Spirit King.

“Looks like things went wrong.”

Shion, who was listening to the conversation between the two, smiled slightly and opened his mouth.

Even though it was no longer possible to enter the ‘Cradle of the World Tree’, which was one of the reasons for coming here, Zion’s face was the same as the first time.

Because it was a situation I had already anticipated before I came.

“… … I think you already know a bit about it, so I’ll be brief. The world tree that supports the Fairy Forest is currently in danger. So I don’t think it would be possible to get into the ‘cradle’. “Are you planning on changing your business?”

“How about this instead of changing business?”

After answering the question with a question, a suggestion immediately flowed out of Zion’s mouth.

“Let me solve the problem regarding the World Tree. Then we can go inside the ban, right?”

“… … !”

Deanna and other fairies’ eyes widened for a moment at those completely unexpected words.

Shion lifts the teacup in front of her, paying no heed to their penetrating gaze.

In fact, saving the World Tree was also included in Zion’s plan from the beginning.

Fairy Forest would also play an important role in the great war that would soon break out, so it could not be allowed to collapse like this.

‘Of course, not with bare mouth.’

At that time, Deanna, who looked at Zion for a moment with shaking eyes, opened her mouth.

“I don’t know what we’ll do, but we can’t leave work related to the World Tree to an outsider who isn’t even a fairy… … .”

However, in accordance with the basic rules of the fairy race, her words, indicating rejection, could not continue to the end.

“D-Your Highness Deanna!”

Before she knew it, all the other leaves in the conference room were looking at her.

Such youthful earnestness in their eyes.

Their earnestness, as if they would grasp at a rotten straw without hesitation, was stopping Deanna from speaking.

About a thousand years.

It was a fairy forest that existed in the world even before the founding of the Agnes Empire.

It was an unbearable fear and despair that such a fairy forest would perish from their generation.

In this situation, the only hope arose, so the fairies’ desperation for it was beyond imagination.

To the point where the rules that have been followed so desperately become nothing.

“How do you resolve this?”

In the end, Deanna let out a long sigh and asked Zion.

Although this incident will not prevent Zion from exerting influence over the Fairy Forest, it will be better than the Fairy Forest disappearing.

“One thing before that.”

In response to Deanna’s question, Zion put down his teacup again and opened his mouth.

“If I save the World Tree, what will you give me?”

“… … “What do you want?”

Deanna immediately asked Zion, as if she knew she would say that.

Saving the World Tree was the same as saving the entire Fairy Forest.

Therefore, the cost will also be high.

‘You might want the spirit army, or all of the base forces I have, or the five great families… … .’

However, the price that came out of Shion’s mouth was greater than that and was what she feared the most.

“Fairy Forest.”

Zion’s eyes slowly widen.

“I truly, not superficially, want the entire Fairy Forest to come under me.”

The moment Deanna saw the black stars rising and starting to swirl in Zion’s eyes, she remembered the devil she had seen in an old storybook who made an offer she could never refuse.
