I became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 231

Chapter 58 Festival (1)

Like the air, the mystery that existed anywhere in the world has completely disappeared within Elbrium.

As a result, spirits and demons disappear.

Not only that, the mana and power flowing in the atmosphere, and even the chaotic world that Jelis has created, begin to be erased as if they never existed in the first place.

And in the center,

“… … “I can’t believe this is possible.”

The jealous Grand Duke was standing there with a vain expression on his face.

Her body slowly crumbled into powder and scattered.

Even so, with half of his upper body gone and even his mystery gone, he could no longer maintain his body.

Jerk, jerk.

Jellis moves her crumbling body and walks towards Zion.

“What a pity.”

At the same time, her hand also slowly begins to extend towards Zion.

“If there had been a little more time, my ‘dwarf world’ could have swallowed the World Tree and you… … .”

“I told you.”

Shion smiled while looking directly into the Archduke’s eyes and spoke in a cold tone.

“I don’t plan on waiting.”

Jellys’ body laughed at him,

“… … is it.”

With one last word, it completely disappeared.

Even at that moment, the Grand Duke’s hands were unable to reach Sion’s body.

It was the end of Zelis, who symbolized jealousy among the four great dukes, and who was always jealous of everything and wanted to defy even the Demon King.

“… … .”

Shion, who had been quietly looking at the spot where the second Grand Duke had met his end by his own hands, slowly turned his head.

What comes into view are fairies and demons, both friends and enemies, who are looking at us with disbelieving eyes.

Soon after, from the mouth of Crevis, one of the demons and a demon spirit who looked at Zion like that,

“… … “It’s over.”

A despairing voice came out.

* * *

After Jellis met his end, the remaining demons were quickly eliminated.

Although Crevis, one of the Five Demon Spirits and possessing Six Claw-level skills, existed, he could not do anything on his own.

Since he had seen the Archduke die in front of his eyes, his morale was so low that it could not be lowered any further.

After the extermination of the remaining demons and the repair of the broken buildings and barriers were completed to some extent,

“… … Blessings from nature and spirits!”

What was immediately held in Elbrium was the ‘Song of Leaves of Grass and Trees,’ which can be said to be the largest festival in the fairy forest.

There was a lot of damage due to the battle that occurred in the middle of the city, and the world situation was so chaotic that it was impossible to know when the great war against the demons would break out, but there was still a reason for Fairy Forest to push ahead with the festival.

‘Song of Leaves of Grass and Trees’ was not an ordinary festival, but a ceremony to honor their god, Archenidia, and at the same time, it was an essential event to maintain the World Tree, which could be said to be the source of fairies.

‘Since the World Tree is in such bad condition, you probably want to return it to its original state as soon as possible.’

Thinking so, Shion looked with slightly weary eyes at the Fairy Forest’s leadership, who were preparing an offering to the nature god Arkenidia in front of him.

Is it because Archenidia likes mint?

Most of the offerings prepared by the leadership were mixed with mint or were mint itself.

Just looking at it makes your mouth feel refreshed.

However, unlike Zion, the faces of the fairies preparing the offering were more flushed than usual.

“oh my god… … “I can’t believe there was such a thing!”

Most of them are crazy about mint, as if they have inherited God’s taste.

“Mixing mint with chocolate and milk… … “This is truly a genius idea!”

The reason was the mint-related foods that were newly selected as a tribute this time.

“This taste… … “It can truly be said to be the drink of God!”

Spirena continues to exclaim in admiration as she sneaks a taste of the mint chocolate latte that will be offered as a tribute.

Beside him, Hallegrion was looking ecstatic, putting mint chocolate in his mouth.

Of course, it was all Liu Sina’s work.

“We can’t be the only ones to taste this flavor, so Selphia, please try it too. “Aside from the tribute to Archenidia, there is still a little left.”

“Ugh, I… … !”

Selphia sent a look of salvation at the continued invitation, but Shion turned away the look, just like last time.

Zion’s theory was that only by overcoming adversity on one’s own can one become stronger.

‘Where did they go anyway?’

Normally, Liu Sina would have been smiling in satisfaction while watching the fairies’ reactions in the middle, but she was nowhere to be seen.

As he turned his head and expanded his senses, Shion’s eyes began to shine.

‘Were you there?’

Together with him, Shion escapes from among the fairies and begins walking the streets at night.

Unlike general festivals, the main event of ‘Song of Leaves of Grass and Trees’ took place after sunset, so the current time was also evening.

How long did it take to walk like that?

The place where Zion finally arrived was a quiet vacant lot on the outskirts of the city.

“Were you shivering alone?”

Shion slowly approached the witch who was sitting on a rock in the middle of the clearing and quietly looking at the full moon in the sky.

Unlike usual, Liu Sina looks very calm.

That sight reminded me of the first time I met her in the city ruins.

“What’s going on? “The owner comes to me first.”

“It felt awkward without you where Mint was.”

The witch smiled slightly at those words and moved her body to the side to make room.

Shion sat next to her and looked at the moon without saying a word.

As if waiting for him to open his mouth first.

How much time has passed?

“You know, master.”

Liu Sina’s mouth slowly opened.

“I used to be very strong. “Everyone was at my feet and no one could stop my will.”

The slayer who alone killed the most lives on the entire continent and the world’s strongest blood wizard.

Her strength was beyond imagination, to the point where she was given the title of Heavenly Killer, meaning she could kill even the sky.

“But now. “I’m not sure if I’m really strong.”

In the eyes of the witch who said that, there was a skepticism that had not been seen before.

“No, I’m not sure if it’s strong enough to be helpful to its owner.”

The battle with Six Claws, and this time, the battle with Jellis.

The defeats suffered in those two battles were the cause of the skepticism Liu Sina was feeling.

In particular, the defeat she experienced this time was very painful for her, who was recovering her confidence as she ascended to the next level.

The fact that the opponent was strong was no excuse.

In any case, it was true that it was of no help to Shion.

at that time,

“Do you know?”

A low question flowed from the mouth of Sion, who was listening to Liu Sina.

“How picky and strict are the criteria for selecting subordinates?”

“… … .”

“Even the warrior and his companions did not meet my standards, and that is why they are still unable to stay by my side.”

Zion’s eyes slowly turn to the witch.

“You are my first achievement. And he stayed by my side longer than anyone else. “I believe you know what that means.”

Those eyes were shining with determination, as if they would not entertain any disagreement.

“If you doubt your strength, it is no different from doubting my eyes when I took you under my wing. So, be confident.”

Zion knew.

If Liu Sina goes through the current transition period and is reborn as a true ‘Witch of the End’, she will have a power that can rival the Four Great Dukes.

When that time comes, you won’t be worried about her lack of power, but rather how to control her.

In a way, the woman in front of him was someone with as much potential as a warrior.

With those words, Shion stands up and walks slowly.

“… … “Thank you, master.”

Liu Sina, who was looking at Shion’s back as he walked away, muttered quietly with a smile that was slightly different from usual.

* * *

When Zion returned to the center of Elvrium, the festival was already in full swing.

“Inheriting the spirit of the great Achenidia… … .”

On the wooden altar erected for the festival, a large amount of offerings had been piled up, and in front of it, Spirena, the second leaf and priest, was reciting phrases that looked like prayers.

And the spirits of all attributes summoned accordingly were moving around the altar as if they were dancing.

They may be praising their god, Archenidia.

Instead of heading to the head table, Shion quietly slipped into the crowd and enjoyed the ceremony.

“Your Highness Zion… … Where on earth did you go and leave me alone? … .”

At the head table, Selphia was still being tortured by mints, surrounded by fairies.

Regardless of her sadness, the atmosphere gradually escalates.

The moment that atmosphere reached its peak,

~~~~~~~~~~!

The spirits dancing around the altar began to emit clear sounds.

It would be appropriate to say that a sound that continues to follow a certain rhythm is truly a song.

The song of the spirits spreads further and further on the wind, as if it does not end there.

Accordingly, not only the altar but all the spirits existing in Elbrium begin to sing.

The song of blades of grass and trees.

No, the song of nature was ringing in Zion’s ears.

The mysterious dance moves of spirits that fill the field of vision and the calming melody that puts the mind at peace.

‘Not bad.’

That was when Zion thought that way.

“What do you think? It’s not as good as Hubris’s Founding Nation, but it’s still pretty worth watching, right?”

Deanna suddenly stuck her head out from next to Shion, wondering how she had found it.

The Fifth Princess smiled slightly as she looked at Shion, who nodded slightly in response to her question, then turned her gaze towards the dancing spirits and continued speaking.

“thank you. “For saving Elvrium, no, Fairy Forest.”

Deanna’s voice was small, but it contained sincerity.

In some ways, her affection for Fairy Forest was so great that it surpassed her obsession with the throne.

Deanna was truly feeling great gratitude because Shion had saved the fairy forest.

“Did you even know I was going to say thank you?”

“Of course, I knew about it, I just didn’t do it until now.”

The 5th princess responded in a shameless voice, looked at the altar for a moment, was silent, and then opened her mouth again.

“From now on, Fairy Rim will follow you.”

It was an unconventional remark and a sudden one that I never expected to come out of her mouth, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t a hasty decision.

I had been thinking about it for a long time and decided on it after much discussion with the other leaves.

Deanna thought.

A great war against demons is about to break out.

Will he be able to protect Fairy Forest and, by extension, the empire in that great war?

Originally, he would have thought he was confident, but his thoughts changed after seeing Jellis, one of the four great dukes.

overwhelming power.

I was so helpless in front of that power.

To the point where it is difficult to even take care of one’s own life, let alone protect anyone else.

I hated to admit it, but the only person in the entire empire who could protect Fairy Forest from such monsters was the man in front of me.

‘There are still many things we don’t know… … .’

It won’t really matter.

“Still, I haven’t completely given up on the throne.”

With those words, Deanna, with a mischievous expression on her face, spoke to Sion.

“If you think you’re inferior to me, they’ll target you at any time, so you’ll have to do well, Shion.”

“That won’t happen.”

Shion chuckled at hearing his name from her mouth for the first time in a long time and answered in a low voice.

“Oh! But let me ask you one thing.”

“say.”

Deanna had a truly curious expression on her face, and a voice filled with questions flowed from her mouth.

“A ring of eternity that was embedded in the World Tree. They say the ring came off on its own and was put on the finger… … “What happened to that?”

“It’s simple.”

Shion responds with an expression that says it’s no big deal.

“It was mine from the beginning.”

“… … I beg your pardon?”

Deanna asked back with her eyes wide open at those bizarre words, but she could no longer hear the answer.

Paaaaat!

A brilliant green light burst from the singing spirits as the ritual reached its peak.

All of that light was flowing towards Zion who was next to her.
