Became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 59
Chapter 17 Agnes State Council (1)
Sweet!
“after… … .”
Tyran, who had just returned to his room, closed the door and let out a small sigh.
“I’m not qualified yet… … .”
A bitter voice flowing from his mouth.
Last night, he was caught in a trap and almost ended up being chased by the Empire, but he barely escaped, but that wasn’t what was filling Tir’an’s mind right now.
Zion Agnes.
It was the name of a person who left an unforgettable impression on Tyran in just one day.
Of course, the strength of the great wizard Ozrima was memorable, but there was something about Prince Sion that went beyond words.
‘I knew exactly the answer to a theory that even I had not yet found the answer to.’
That alone was shocking enough, but what was truly imprinted in his mind was the overwhelming and unconventional appearance that Prince Shion showed in the classroom where the murder occurred.
‘I knew from the beginning that Professor Proud was the culprit.’
As soon as he appeared, Prince Zion immediately struck off Professor Proud’s head without a moment’s hesitation.
It was an impossible action unless one was convinced from the beginning that Professor Proud was the culprit and a demon.
How on earth did Prince Sion, who had nothing to do with the Magic Tower and was even visiting for the first time, know about that fact?
And the skirmish between the demons and Prince Zion immediately followed.
It was a battle at such a high level that Tyran himself could not even intervene, let alone help.
Watching the battle, Tyran felt helpless for the first time since his reincarnation.
‘I won’t be this lucky next time.’
Thinking like that, Tyran smiles bitterly.
-Only those who are qualified can ask questions.
A word that he had heard from Prince Sion a while ago when he went to see him to resolve the doubts that filled his mind came to Tyran’s mind.
“… … “That might be right.”
I had to build strength.
So that if something like this happens again, I won’t be as helpless as I was this time.
and… … .
So that next time, I can confidently go to Prince Sion and demand an answer.
‘Starting from reaching level 7.’
Light slowly begins to flow from the depths of Tyran Friharden’s eyes.
The first wizard to reach level 10, surpassing level 9, which was said to be the end of magic in the past, and the strongest archmage who had stepped beyond the abyss of truth, was slowly stretching himself.

The shoulder of the road near Hwangseong Castle with a bright full moon.
“Mmm hmmm~”
Inside a luxurious horse-powered car running there, a pot-bellied middle-aged man with a stylish mustache was humming.
The man’s name is Cleon Havas.
He was a local great nobleman and one of the hundred members of the Guangseong Council, the most powerful body in the empire after the imperial family.
Since the empire was divided into dozens of regions and the nobleman representing one of them was a member of the National Assembly, his power was bound to be powerful.
There was only one reason why Cleon was humming.
“Is it soon the government meeting period?”
Because of the Agnes government meeting just around the corner.
Agnes State Council.
It is the second largest meeting in the empire and is held at the White Palace, held by the direct imperial family.
And it was an important event where all kinds of powerful people, including lawmakers, gathered to decide the future of the empire.
Depending on whether you could attend the meeting or not, you could even determine whether you had reached the center of power or not, so its power and symbolism could be seen as enormous.
“What kind of offers will come in this time?”
There was deep anticipation in Cleon’s eyes as he muttered that.
Most of the Agnes Empire meetings are centered around the immediate royal family members in attendance.
And the royal family’s right to speak was divided depending on how many lawmakers supported them.
Therefore, during this period, numerous love calls from the royal family came pouring in with good conditions to Cleon, who was a neutral faction not supported by any royal family.
Cleon had been taking advantage of this and making enormous profits during this period for several years.
‘Anyway, I’ll just support it at this meeting and then go back to neutrality.’
A bat-like lawmaker who did not really pursue political neutrality but just went back and forth while observing the liver, that was Cleon Havas.
Still, there was another reason why he remained fundamentally neutral.
Just safe.
Cleon was a fierce safety freak.
He always placed his own well-being above all else and always prioritized his own survival.
If he fell under the command of one of the royal family members, there was a chance that he would be purged as soon as that royal family member failed to become emperor, and he could even be checked and killed by another royal family member before that.
Therefore, Cleon preferred neutrality.
‘It looks like the 4th prince or 5th princess will put up good conditions this time… … .’
With that in mind, Cleon thinks about which royal family he will support at this meeting.
However, the name Sion Agnes did not exist in the subject of his worries.
‘Because I won’t even be able to attend anyway.’
Although it is said that the value of the name is soaring at an alarming rate these days.
First of all, in order for a direct royal family member to attend a state meeting, they basically needed the support of at least ten lawmakers.
However, as far as Cleon knew, Prince Sion had not yet gained the support of a single member of parliament.
“Well, that’s probably the limit of the royal family with no power.”

Cleon muttered that and sank into his chair, then turned his gaze to the night view of the capital city outside the window.
Even though it was already midnight with the moon fully risen, the capital of the empire, Hubris, was shining brightly with the lights created by numerous buildings.
Like the future of an empire that will last forever.
Along with that, the appearance of the Imperial Castle visible in the distance.
“… … uh?”
At that time, Cleon’s eyes, as he looked at the imperial castle, were colored with doubt.
His house is a mansion located right near the imperial castle.
There was no way the Hwangseong could be seen from that far away.
“What! “Where on earth are you going!”
It was only then that Cleon realized something was wrong and shouted to the driver of the horse-powered car.
However, the driver continued driving in silence as if he had not heard the shout.
“Set it up, stop it now!”
The moment when an embarrassed cry came out of Cleon’s mouth once again.
Squeak!
The horse-powered car suddenly stopped on the spot.
Unlike the bright city streets of the capital, it is a dark vacant lot where not a single light shines.
Rattling!
With that, an unknown driver immediately got out of the driver’s seat and quickly disappeared somewhere.
Did he instinctively sense something ominous about the driver’s actions?
“… … !”
It was the moment when Cleon urgently opened the car door and threw himself outside.
Kwajijijijik!
Something fell from above and shattered the magic car that Cleon had been riding to the point where its original shape was unrecognizable.
“Ugh… … “What is this!”
Cleon walks away from the smashed magic car with a tired look on his face because he would have died if he had not reacted just a little bit.
at that time.
Jerk, jerk.
Quiet footsteps began to be heard from the end of the clearing, where there was only darkness.
The sound of footsteps that ominously stimulates a person’s senses just by hearing them.
Cleon, who automatically returned to the place where he heard the footsteps, saw the shape of a person vaguely emerging from the darkness.
“That… … !”
That thing must never be allowed to come this far.
Cleon, who felt this intuitively, took out a small jewel from his pocket and broke it without hesitation.
That moment.
Hwaaaaaaa!
Five escorts are summoned around him with a blinding light.
Although it was a one-time space summoning magic that cost an astronomical amount of money, there was no hesitation in Cleon’s eyes.
He had originally saved it for times like this, and the most important thing to him was his life.
“Stop that!”
Tadadat!
The escorts summoned while wearing masks followed Cleon’s orders and rushed towards the approaching black figure.
His eyes finally show a light of relief.
That’s because the strength of each of the guards he carefully selected was superior to that of the imperial castle’s elite knights.
But the next moment.
Quad deuk!
Cleon’s eyes turned into confusion.
once.
With a single movement of the black figure’s hand, the head of the guard who was running in front disappeared.
And before Howie’s headless body even reached the floor.
Kwasik!
With the sound of the crash echoing once again, the head of the guard that was running after him also disappeared.
Was it because I couldn’t see that series of movements at all?
“… … !”
Only when the heads of their two colleagues disappeared did the guards let out a silent cry of astonishment and simultaneously swung their swords at the black figure that had come right in front of them.
Sugagagagagak!
A three-way sword strike aimed precisely at the vital points of the black figure.
At last, those sword strikes were about to pierce the vital points of the black figure.
Jerk.
A black figure slowly took a step forward.
That moment.
Puhwahahahaha!
A horrifying darkness exploded from the entire body of such a black figure.
That darkness began to engulf and tear apart the sword and all the guards that were being fired.
The escorts died without even leaving a trace behind.
Jerk, jerk.
The black figure that had taken care of all the guards in an instant began to approach Cleon again as if nothing had happened.
“Who are you! “Why on earth are you doing this?”
Is it because the number of conversions was suddenly shattered?
Cleon steps back with a face filled with fear and shouts as if he is struggling towards the approaching black figure.
at that time.
“What do you think is causing this?”
With a subdued voice, the face of a black figure approaching was revealed by the moonlight that had been hidden by the clouds.
Cleon’s eyes begin to turn blank along with that.
He definitely knew that face.
“Zion… … majesty?”
A trembling voice flowing from his mouth.
Although the atmosphere was completely different from when he saw it a few years ago, that face was clearly the Prince Sion Agnes he knew.
The sight of Zion approaching, dressed in pitch-black clothing, as if it were night itself, gave a very eerie and alien feeling.
“Uh, why did you do this to me… … .”
“I know that?”
Shion opened his mouth, cutting off Cleon’s words with a deep question as if he couldn’t understand what had just happened.
“Even in ancient countries that existed before empires, there were parliaments and lawmakers.”
Jerk, jerk.
“In that era, if a member of the National Assembly committed corruption, their eyes and tongue were first pulled out. Let him pay for the sin of turning a blind eye to corruption and the sin of creating corruption through all kinds of coaxing and lies. Then we sprinkled salt on his wounds and slowly skinned his entire body until he died.”
Sion finally approaches Cleon and looks down at him with drowsy eyes.
“It all happened in front of my family. “It meant that you should learn a lesson from that terrible sight and not commit injustice.”
Cleon trembles without saying a word, overwhelmed by Zion’s eyes sparkling with black stars.
“Innumerable bribes and accumulation of illegal wealth. Even though slavery has already been abolished, they own dozens of slaves to satisfy their perverted hobbies… … Even political murder. “If even a few of these are revealed, you will be beheaded.”
Towards him, Zion slowly recited the information obtained by the Shadow of Eternity and the Eye of the Moon.
“How on earth can you do that…?” … .”
Cleon opens his mouth blankly, as if he can’t believe the denials that flow one by one from Zion’s mouth.
“I’ll give you a chance.”
Ho-seon is drawn deeply in Shi-on’s eyes as she looks at him.
“A chance to save your life.”
The sight was like a devil offering a deal that could never be refused to the human being to be sacrificed.
