Became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 36
Chapter 13 Illusionary Army (1)
Crispy!
The teacup in Princess Deanna Agnes’s hand turned into powder and disappeared.
“… … Now, what did you say?”
Deanna looks at the fairy man who made the report with her eyes wide open as if she couldn’t believe it.
At this, the man lowered his head even further and opened his mouth in a heavy voice.
“The entire 6th Division headed to the Shadow Branch… … “We were wiped out.”
Let’s go!
With the man’s words, the tea table in front of Deanna also disappeared without a trace.
“Annihilation, did you just say annihilation? “All of Igracia’s 6th division?”
“That’s right.”
It was something completely unexpected.
Igracia was one of the strongest military groups in the empire that Deena herself boasted about, and was said to be at the highest level among the elemental divisions that no one could match.
Yes, I thought that some of the crew might get injured due to the enemies’ struggles.
In the end, I thought I might not be able to catch the tail and lose it.
But I never thought for even a moment that the entire 6th Division would be annihilated.
“… … “What happened to the branch you discovered?”
Deanna asked, suppressing her rising anger.
If this side was annihilated, that side would also have suffered damage to the extent that it could at least not recover.
But the man’s answer once again exceeded her expectations.
“When I saw the traces left at the scene… … “It seems that the 6th Division was not even able to enter the building.”
“I beg your pardon?”
Deanna looks at the man as if wondering what he means.
“We found traces of a fierce battle and the bodies of the 6th Division right in front of the building. The traces did not extend into the building. “I think they all lost their lives while fighting against the enemies in front of him.”
“trap… … .”
A low voice came out of Deanna’s mouth with a distorted face.
“Was the branch itself a trap from the beginning?”
There was a good chance that would happen.
Unless you thoroughly planned and prepared from the beginning, it was impossible to eliminate one of Igracia’s units overnight.
“… … Am I caught in a trap? “This Deanna Agnes?”
Until now, she had always been the one creating the trap, not the one caught in it.
Therefore, the shock and anger I received was even greater.
Deanna paused for a moment, suppressed her emotions as much as possible, and then asked the man again.
“Have you figured out who did it?”
“There were dark traces of blood magic left at the scene.”
“Blood magic?”
Deanna’s eyes lit up at the man’s words.
Blood magic was a magic that was difficult to even get into if you did not have natural talent in the first place.
Therefore, even within the empire, there were only a few people who could handle it skillfully.
If the enemies really used blood magic, the scope of the suspect’s line could be greatly narrowed.
“There is information that a woman who recently became Prince Sion’s subordinate uses blood magic.”
“You mean the woman I saw in the throne room?”
“Yes, she is the only blood mage who has been active in the capital recently.”
“hmm… … .”
Deanna frowned slightly at that.
Certainly, according to the current circumstances, what Sion and the woman did was correct, but something was strange.
Should I say that it fits together too tightly?
It feels as if someone is deliberately driving them towards Zion.
‘Besides, Shion has no reason or ability to do such a thing in the first place.’
No matter how much the red-eyed woman gained the upper hand against the Blue Lion Knights at the main gate of the imperial castle… … .
I did not think that this proved the ability to wipe out an entire unit in Igracia.
“Were there any other traces?”
“hmm… … It’s so subtle that it can’t even be called a trace, but I found traces of a summoning spell beneath the blood magic and spirit spells. It’s too vague a remnant of a spell to even tell you about… … .”
At that moment, Deanna’s eyes lit up.
“That’s it. The person who used that technique is the real culprit. “Is there any summoning wizard or group in the capital now strong enough to annihilate the 6th Division?”
“Rgan Ursula on the Third Prince’s side and Summoning Magic Tower’s side… … .”
“… … Enoch!”
Before the man could finish answering, Deanna called out one person’s name.
Along with that, the energy of Cheon Seong-hae flows out in tangible form from her whole body.
“This is how it comes out, right?”
As Deanna muttered that, her eyes were colder than ever.

Behind a sparsely populated waste incinerator on the outskirts of Agnes Imperial Castle.
There, a man and a woman were standing facing each other.
However, there was something strange about the man looking at the woman.
Although he had an ordinary appearance that could be seen anywhere, there was no expression whatsoever on the man’s face.
Like a doll.

Completely expressionless with no emotion whatsoever.
“It’s surprising that you didn’t get caught until now while walking around with a face like that.”
Looking at the man, a woman with long red-brown hair opened her mouth.
A woman wearing monastic robes that do not suit her voluptuous body.
“There’s no need to make an expression even in front of you.”
“That’s right. But what did you want to meet for? “Isn’t the date of regular contact a long time away?”
“Communication with Dicarne has been lost. “I think he’s dead.”
The man answered the woman’s question in an emotionless tone.
“Dicarnega? Is it a big deal? “How did that happen?”
“We are figuring it out now. And not only Dicarne, but also several lower-level people’s signals have been cut off recently. It’s like… … .”
“It feels like someone is hunting us?”
The woman answered like that and laughed as if it was fun.
“Yes.”
“Well, that could be possible. Actually, it’s probably even weirder that no one has noticed until now.”
“It’s not certain yet. “But there is one thing that bothers me about that.”
“What?”
“Sion Agnes.”
The man’s eyes sank as he opened his mouth.
“Except for Dicarne, most of the guys whose signal was cut off were around Sion Agnes.”
“Oh, you mean that imprisoned prince?”
On the contrary, the woman’s eyes are filled with interest.
“It seems like you’re at the center of a lot of rumors these days… … “It might be worth looking into.”
“Then please.”
With those words, the man turned and walked away without any hesitation, as if the business was over.
“If I do it well, it could be fun, right?”
Soon after, the woman’s new form muttered as she looked at the man’s back.
Sreuk-
He disappeared without a trace on the spot.

“Your Highness Zion, please take care of yourself.”
The main gate of Chimseong Palace.
Old knight Fredo lowered his head with a worried look towards Shion as he was leaving through the main gate.
“Your Highness, why don’t you think again now? No matter how much I say this, it’s too much… … .”
Next to Fredo, Thierry looked at Sion as if this was not the case, opened his mouth, but then stopped.
Zion’s drowsy eyes looking at him.
Because there wasn’t an inch of hesitation or anxiety in those eyes.
No matter what he says, he probably won’t change his decision.
“… … I will take care of everything you instructed by the time you return. Have a nice trip.”
“okay.”
Therefore, giving a short answer to Thierry, who quickly gave up and lowered his head, Sion boarded the magic car heading to the main gate of the castle with Liu Sina.
This time, because I didn’t sneak out of the castle like last time, I was able to confidently go out to the main gate.
“It hasn’t been long since I came to the castle, but I didn’t know I’d be leaving again.”
Liu Sina, who sat across from Shion, shrugged her shoulders and opened her mouth.
But contrary to those words, there was some kind of anticipation in her eyes.
Because she could smell the strong scent of blood from what was about to happen.
“… … .”
Without answering Liu Sina’s words, Shion looked out the window.
The reason why Sion is leaving the imperial castle now is to prove that he is the successor that he promised to the emperor and other royal family members in the throne room.
Seven major disasters.
There are seven disasters that exist in Empire Agnes, each of which is at a level that cannot be resolved without the strong intervention of the Empire.
The royal family wanted to solve one of those seven great plagues as a test of proof, and Zion agreed to it.
‘Is now the time to show up there? If you’re good, you might be able to get both at the same time.’
Sion looked at Liu Sina, who was looking around the inside of the magic car with curiosity, recalling the disaster she had chosen and the information she had read in the chronicle.
She was one of the key keys to solving this disaster.
From the time he first tried to welcome Liu Sina as a subordinate, Zion had been thinking about resolving this disaster.
Of course, the powerless part played the biggest role.
That’s why Zion thought that the reward that would be gained when this disaster was resolved was important.
Therefore, even if Deanna did not suggest it in the throne room, she had the intention of resolving it someday.
‘It’s a little earlier than I thought, but it’s not bad.’
No, it could have been better.
The disaster that Zion chose was one in which the influence of the devil had a greater influence than any other disaster.
Therefore, if we stop the disaster, we will be able to inflict some damage on that side.
“We have arrived, Your Highness.”
Meanwhile, as if arriving at the main gate, the horse-powered car stopped and the driver’s voice was heard.
Along with that, a large crowd of people visible from the window.
He passed the rigged succession ceremony and was designated as the successor by Emperor Urdios.
And he even accepted the resolution of the seven great plagues as a test of proof.
Because of this, Zion was attracting the attention of the people of the imperial castle, knowingly or unknowingly, and when it was announced that Zion would go out of the imperial castle to solve the disaster, crowds gathered to see it.
Rattling.
The moment Shion opened the car door and got out, the buzzing noise like a market noise disappeared, as if they had made a promise.
Along with that, eyes focused on Zion.
Zion naturally ignored those gazes and slowly walked along the separated path of the crowd.
Jerk, jerk.
The sound of footsteps echoing in still silence.
Usually, when Agnes’ immediate royal family officially leaves the imperial castle, numerous people come out to greet them to see them off.
But Zion knew.
The fact that not a single one of them truly came to see him off.
Young curiosity and ridicule in people’s eyes.
“Disaster just the two of us? “It turned tightly.”
“And on top of that, the most difficult of all disasters… … You chose , right? “Is it because I’m only in the imperial castle that I can’t really feel it?”
“You probably want to choose something difficult that you can’t solve anyway.”
At the same time, people’s murmurs were heard again in Zion’s ears.
He may have thought he was speaking quietly so as not to be heard, but the sound was clearly ringing in Sion’s ears.
They are.
Shion himself thought that he would never be able to solve this disaster.
No, I was hoping it wouldn’t work out.
Zion took in the faces of those people one by one.
How will those faces change when you come back after erasing the disaster?
I was already looking forward to it.
“Your Highness Zion, are you leaving now?”
Before Shion’s eyes, a man with blue hair and a cold expression appeared.
Lorgan Ursula.
He is the third prince’s confidant and a top-level summoning wizard who has already reached level 7 at a young age and has created his own unique magic.
“It looks like we don’t have enough power to deal with the disaster… … “If I were to do so, I would do whatever it takes to make it successful.”
Regan, who said that, slightly lowered his head as he looked at Shion leaving the main gate without any troops and with only Liu Sina in tow.
“I wish you good luck.”
As Sion looked at the wizard with calm eyes, the words that Thierry, the leader of the shadows, had said not long ago came to mind.
-The Third Prince, or to be more precise, his henchman, Regan Ursula, is suspicious of the source of His Highness’s power.
Perhaps the reason he appeared here in person was to confirm that.
‘Then you have to show me what you want.’
After thinking like that, Shion raised his head again, made eye contact with Regan, and grinned.
“Good luck to you too.”
At that moment, for just a moment, literally a split second, Shion’s entire eyes turned black and then returned to their original state.
Did you witness it?
Regan’s eyes shook slightly and his expression hardened.
Shion finally leaves the main gate with Liu Sina, leaving behind Rugan, who has stopped talking.
Behind Zion, the shadows stretched long in the afternoon sunlight.
Kronos’ phantom army.
It was the name of the disaster chosen by Zion.
