I became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 26

Chapter 9 Dreams of Stars (2)

In front of the main gate of the magnificent Agnes Imperial Castle.

There, a woman was looking at the gate with a strange expression on her face.

A charming woman with hair as black as night and eyes as red as blood.

It was none other than Liu Sina Bloodwalker, who became Zion’s subordinate.

“hmm… … “I never thought I’d end up here.”

Liu Sina was currently standing in front of the main gate of the imperial castle, following Zion’s orders to deal with the assassination organization ‘Night of Rest’, track down the person behind it, and then enter the imperial castle.

Since she was born and has never had a relationship with a rural lord, let alone an imperial castle, she couldn’t help but feel awkward.

But regardless of the awkwardness, Liu Sina was in a good mood.

‘It certainly seems like the assurance I made back then wasn’t a lie.’

After coming to the capital, he only followed Zion’s instructions, but he killed the largest number of people in recent times.

It wasn’t yet satisfactory, but Liu Sina thought it would gradually get better.

According to the owner, Shion, it hasn’t even started yet.

“Mmm hmmm~”

It was when Liu Sina, humming like that, was about to pass through the main gate of the imperial castle.

“Please present your ID card or Imperial Pass.”

The soldiers guarding the main gate blocked her and opened their mouths in a business-like voice.

“There’s nothing like that?”

Liu Sina answers as if it were obvious.

One of the soldiers who was looking at her as if she was taken aback by such confident words shook his head and said,

“Then you can’t go in.”

“no. “The owner told you to come into the imperial castle?”

“master? You mean the person you serve? “Can you please tell me his name?”

“hmm… … .”

A look of confusion appeared on Liu Sina’s face.

Now that she thought about it, she had never heard the owner’s name.

“I don’t know his name, but he’s a scary person with a thin body and eyes open like this… … .”

I appealed to him by imitating Shion’s bored-looking eyes, but it didn’t work.

“Please go back.”

One of the soldiers, perhaps thinking that Liu Sina was the truth, answered in a firm voice and gently pushed her shoulder.

That moment.

Kwaaaaang!

The body of the soldier who had touched his shoulder was thrown backwards at a speed that could not be clearly seen with the naked eye, and fell straight into the castle wall.

A moment of silence.

and.

“I didn’t do it, he just threw it away on his own… … “You won’t believe it, will you?”

Liu Sina made an excuse as she pressed the head of the beast that was about to pop out from the shoulder where the soldier had touched it, but it was already too late.

“It’s an attack! “Get in line!”

Soldiers and knights began to flock toward her with loud shouts.

“If this happens, you will have no choice but to break through.”

As Liu Sina looked at the people approaching her, blood-red energy began to slowly flow out of her body.

“… … “It’s such an evil energy!”

“Never let them enter the imperial castle!”

The knights who sensed that energy expressed their hostility with shocked cries.

“I’ll try not to kill you for now… … “Wouldn’t it be possible for a few people to accidentally die while fighting?”

There was hope in the witch’s eyes as she looked at them.

* * *

‘Well, even if it’s time to die, there’s no way that power will disappear in an instant.’

Cheonseonghae (天星海).

The world’s strongest power that only direct blood relatives of the Agnes family can use.

Sion nodded, looking into Emperor Urdios’ eyes filled with stars.

The old man in front of me was the monster of monsters who, in his youth, mastered Cheon Seong-hae to the extreme and became the ruler of the world by trampling on all his brothers and sisters.

No matter how old or sick he was, there was no way his strength would disappear in an instant.

No, it would be even stranger if it disappeared.

“… … “You are definitely not Zion.”

The emperor continued speaking while looking at Zion.

This was a fact that could be known just by looking into the eyes.

The eyes of a ruler that you have to be born with to have.

Clearly, Urdios’ own son was not born with those eyes.

But no matter how you look at the eyes of Sion Agnes looking at us now, they were the eyes of a ruler like herself.

And one thing is even more certain than that.

“Zion cannot feel or receive mana. It is an innate punishment. That’s why you can’t learn magic or swordsmanship.”

It was a fact that only a few people, including the emperor, knew.

The same goes for not being able to learn Cheonseonghae.

But now, deep within the eyes of Zion that the emperor was looking at, there were clearly two black stars swirling around.

A power that is similar to Cheon Seong-hae, yet completely different, and is both heterogeneous and terrifying.

The moment Urdios looked into those eyes, he could feel his whole body shrink without realizing it.

“Who are you?”

The emperor, who had forced that feeling away, looked straight into Sion’s eyes and asked once again.

Shion smiled and asked back.

“Who do you think it is?”

It was a fact I knew from the moment I came in, that my body couldn’t feel mana.

But that was no obstacle to Zion.

After all, the Black Star was a completely different force from Mana, the foundation of this world.

“devil… … Yeah, all I can think of is the devil. Otherwise, you would never have such eyes and strength. “Are you here to get me?”

It was not a metaphorical expression.

The emperor really thought that Zion might be the devil.

It was definitely not wrong.

He was also one of the nicknames used to refer to Zion when he was an emperor.

“You’re going to die soon anyway, so what are you going to do?”

Shion answers the emperor’s question with a cold smile.

The person in front of him was the father of his original body owner, Sion Agnes, and the emperor who ruled the world.

Shion did not show the slightest respect or affection for him.

It was natural that there was no respect for the emperor from the beginning, and Urdios had never shown himself as a father to Sion Agnes.

No, it was Urdios who was the one who put Sion Agnes in the castle palace and treated her like a non-existent person.

‘Well, it doesn’t really matter now.’

Shion had no feelings for the old man in front of him.

All I had to do was get what I needed.

“I have more questions than that.”

Shion, leaning closer towards the emperor, opened his mouth.

“What is it?”

“Who made you like this?”

It was a natural story.

Those who reach a certain level are able to reorganize their bodies to maintain the appearance they had in their prime, and their lifespan also increases.

However, there had to be an external factor for the emperor, who had reached ‘heaven’ by force, to become like this.

Although Sion had a rough guess about the external factors, he still thought it was accurate to hear it directly from the Emperor’s mouth.

“… … Ha ha ha ha ha!”

The Emperor, who looked at Zion with blank eyes for a moment, suddenly burst into laughter.

Zion looks at the emperor with calm eyes.

“Aren’t you on the same side as them? It was like that. I was mistaken. It’s such a different power, but I thought it was similar. Cough!”

Urdios, who was muttering something meaningless, coughed dryly a few times and continued speaking.

“Since the first Emperor Agnes founded the empire more than four hundred years ago, only one nation has existed in the world. And with that, the era of humanity began in earnest.”

The unified empire accepted all local cultures and ushered in a truly brilliant era for humanity.

The progress that has been made since then is also indescribable.

But that era did not last long.

“The southernmost tip of the continent. “One day, a demon suddenly appeared in a place called ‘the end of the world’ because nothing exists.”

Ma station.

A world where only demonic beings literally live.

It appeared in an instant at the ‘end of the world’, where no life could be found, as if something were born from nothing.

“I didn’t know how or why the devil came into existence. “The demonic beings tried to exclude all living things, and we were in a hurry to stop them.”

Numerous wars took place.

A war between monsters led by the Demon King and all other living beings united around the empire.

“Countless heroes have appeared and disappeared, and countless lives have been lost. That’s how we protected the empire. But about a hundred years ago, the devil suddenly stopped all invasions. I didn’t know why. Still, humanity began to rejoice and feel relieved. Because the long history of war has finally come to an end. but… … “It shouldn’t have been that way.”

With those words, the bitterness lingered in the emperor’s eyes and then disappeared.

Looking at the emperor, Sion quietly opened his mouth.

“Because the Demon Territory hasn’t stopped its invasion.”

The emperor, who looked at Zion for a moment with his eyes wide open as if surprised by those words, answered.

“… … Did you know? Yes, the devil simply changed the method of invasion. Instead of confronting it head on, it quietly and secretly infiltrated the empire, the realm of humanity. And that too slowly, over a hundred years.”

In the present, monsters have spread throughout the empire like spider webs.

So secretly and precisely that no one would notice.

And Hwangseong was no exception.

“By the time I found out, it was already too late. “Because his body was in this state due to the magic poison they secretly administered.”

As Urdios said this, he raised his finger and pointed at his body.

The emperor’s arms trembled just from that action.

His body was already damaged beyond recovery.

“I couldn’t do anything.”

Just dying like this day by day.

“If we tried to narrow them down, it seemed like the empire would fall in an instant, and there was no way to accurately identify them. Of course, I also didn’t know who gave me poison.”

Overwhelming helplessness.

Even though the enemy had entered deep into the heart of the empire, there was nothing the emperor could do.

“Is that why you haven’t named a successor yet?”

Shion, who was listening, looked at the emperor and asked.

Just because the emperor nominates a successor does not mean that the successor will necessarily become emperor.

By having legitimacy, it plays a role in suppressing competition and secret fighting to some extent.

Nevertheless, there was no other reason than this for not designating it.

“Yeah, because we didn’t know who was in contact with them. No, there may already be one who has become a demonic limb.”

To that extent, the demonic beings had already entered deep into the imperial castle.

And the fall of the empire was getting closer.

At least Emperor Urdios thought so.

The Emperor’s eyes, after sighing with regret for a moment, look directly at Sion again.

“An unknown being wearing the mask of Sion Agnes. “What on earth are you planning to do in the imperial city?”

A question containing the power and dignity of the Emperor of the Great Agnes Empire.

“I’m going to swallow it.”

Zion’s eyes draw a line as he answers.

“… … what?”

“I will devour this white palace, devour the imperial castle, and devour this empire. “There are no exceptions.”

It’s so ridiculous that it’s unnecessary to even reply.

but.

“Hahahahaha!”

The emperor burst into laughter.

For some reason, I thought that the being in front of me might really be like that.

“Yes, it would be better for this empire to be swallowed up by the devil than to be destroyed by the devil.”

Humans could not stop the demon that had already spread throughout the empire.

So it would be better to leave it to the devil.

The Emperor, who was muttering and giggling like that, opened his mouth again to Zion.

“There is only one ‘eye’ within the imperial castle. “They are the last watchdogs who have been handed down from ancestors to prepare for such incidents, and they only listen to the orders of the emperor.”

A shadowy group that exists in the darkness of the Imperial City and freely handles all information in the world behind the Empire.

The emperor was confident that the demonic beings would not have permeated them yet.

“Look for the ‘eye.’ They are probably already aware of this situation and preparing for it. “I cut off the link from the moment I became addicted because I didn’t want the monsters to know my existence, but you’ll be fine.”

This was something that Zion already knew.

Shadow of eternity.

It was one of the best intelligence organizations in the Plosimar Chronicles and was later to be compared to the ‘Eye of the Moon’.

And it was also the place that Sion himself tried to acquire first after entering the Baekseong Palace.

Even if you know the future because you read the chronicles, you don’t know everything.

Information was what filled in the missing part.

“Sure.”

Shion gave a short answer because he was planning to find it anyway even if he didn’t say anything, and immediately turned around.

Not only did I have nothing more to gain from the emperor, but I had to head towards the ‘Dream of the Stars’, which was the true purpose of coming to the Baekseong Palace today.

“Even if you find it, it may be difficult for you to handle. So let me help you a little.”

The emperor’s low voice came from behind Zion.

Sion left the sick emperor’s bedroom without answering.

It rattled.

Then again, only silence and darkness were left in the bedroom.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

There, the emperor closed his eyes and muttered quietly.
