Became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 61
Chapter 17 Agnes State Council (3)
A remote area with few people even on the outskirts of the Agnes Empire.
In the middle of the huge forest that existed there, an incongruous red tower stood tall.
This is a blood tower created by blood wizards to avoid human eyes.
In the spacious office on the top floor of the Blood Tower, Kerma Dechols, the owner of the Blood Tower, was looking at the woman sitting in front of him with moved eyes.
“Are you really Liu Sina Bloodwalker?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
The woman, Liu Sina, answered Kerma’s question with a bored expression.
Because this wasn’t the first question.
A lot of time had already passed since she came to the Blood Tower, and even though she had given her enough proof on the first day, Kerma was asking her once a day as if it were a good morning greeting.
“Oh, a thousand-year-old witch!”
“Oh oh!”
“Ooh, mother of beasts!”
“Oooh!”
“Ooh, handshake queen!”
“Oooooh!”
In response to Kerma’s shout, the surrounding blood mages join their mouths in praise, as if in worship.
Looking at that scene, Liu Sina closed her eyes with one hand.
Even though I kept seeing things like that, I couldn’t get used to it.
‘Thanks to this, the control of the Blood Tower was easily completed.’
Thinking like that, Liu Sina recalled the first day she came to the Blood Tower.
As soon as I touched the few blood mages blocking my way, Kerma came out, and as soon as I proved to Kerma who I was, the control was immediately over.
She remembered Kerma hitting his head on the floor as if he was doing five body welfare as soon as he found out his identity.
It was a frustrating experience for Liu Sina, who expected the battle to be full of blood and flesh, but in any case, the work ordered by Sion had been completed.
‘I can just do this and go back, but… … .’
Thinking like that, Liu Sina looked at Kerma and the other blood mages who seemed like they could become foot wipes when she told them to.
‘Would it be useful to take them with me?’
I could tell without having to measure each person’s magic power or ask about their level.
How low are they compared to other magic towers?
I didn’t like it.
The fact that those who inherited the blood magic that Liu Sina herself had learned had become so weak.
Moreover, it would not be of any help to his master, who turned most of the Agnes royal family that currently rules the world into enemies.
In fact, Sion didn’t expect the Blood Tower to be ineffective, but she herself didn’t like it.
‘then… … .’
Liu Sina slowly turns her eyes to look at Kerma and the other blood mages, who are still showing an expression of emotion.
‘I have no choice but to make it stronger.’
A red light slowly began to appear in her eyes.
* * *
Baekseong Palace is where the emperor who rules the world resides and is the center of all power in the empire.
The largest conference room in the Baekseong Palace.
There were already many people gathered there, greeting each other or preparing something.
The number exceeded one hundred, which may have seemed like a large number at first glance, but each and every one of them was a person who could not be missed at the government meeting held here.
Members of the Gwangseong Council, nobles from the great family who are the most powerful in Hubris, the capital of the empire where all power gathers, and heads of major institutions in the imperial castle.
They could truly be said to be the people who run the Agnes empire.
“Haha, long time no see. Prince Alstein.”
Among them, Groud Ozrima, the first successor of the Ozrima family, who is called the lord of magic and boasts power within the five fingers of the empire, opened his mouth to the gruff-looking middle-aged man sitting next to him.
Although he was called the successor, Groud was already over 40 years old and approaching death.
“… … .”
In response to Groud’s greeting, the middle-aged man called Altstein only nodded slightly and did not react in any way.
Growd shrugged his shoulders as if he was used to it.
That middle-aged man’s bluntness was already widespread even among the nobles.
“It looks like the royal family hasn’t arrived yet.”
Growd, not paying attention to the middle-aged man’s reaction, looked around the conference room and continued.
“Perhaps the same people will attend this time as last time?”
With those words, his eyes looked around the conference room and came to rest on the most ornate-looking head table and the second largest chair next to it.
The seat of Emperor Urdios and 1st Prince Rubrios.
Those two positions have been vacant for several years.
Emperor, even if we were to say that he was unable to get up from his chair due to a serious illness, it was very strange that the first prince did not attend the state meeting.
However, no one present, including Groud, found him strange.
The fact that the 1st Prince was so fanatical about the Church of Light that he abandoned everything else was already a well-known fact.
“Then, unless something goes wrong, this meeting will proceed similarly to the last time.”
A three-way war, excluding the four members of the royal family, specifically Evelyn Agnes, who maintains a neutral stance.
6th Prince Sion Agnes would not be able to attend this meeting, so the structure of the meeting would not change.
Groud, who had thought that far, looked at the middle-aged man again and opened his mouth, as if something had suddenly occurred to him.
“Oh, by the way, did you hear the news? “This time, Prince Sion personally took care of all of Regan Ursula and the Icarus Wizards who escaped from the castle dungeon.”
At the same time as he said those words, the eyes of the middle-aged man who seemed to never move at all slightly wavered.
And Groud, who did not miss that, smiled slightly.

He knew why the middle-aged man reacted like that.
Because the family that the middle-aged person belonged to was the maternal family of 6th Prince Sion Agnes.
“Isn’t it amazing? Not long ago, wasn’t His Highness Zion called a disgrace to the imperial family? However, in just a few months, he passed the succession ceremony and even defeated the Phantom Army, one of the seven major disasters. Plus, this time we annihilated the Icarus team.”
The Icarus wizard group that was annihilated this time was under the command of 3rd Prince Enoch, who was closely related to the Ozrima family.
Groud was talking comfortably as if it were someone else’s business.
“Isn’t Prince Alstein happy? This is the change in His Royal Highness Prince Zion. His Majesty Zion is your… … .”
“stop.”
At that time, a heavy voice came out of the middle-aged man’s mouth for the first time.
“It has nothing to do with us. So I hope we won’t talk about him anymore.”
Those words were quiet, but they contained an irresistible power.
That was when Growood stopped talking and shrugged his shoulders again.
“Her Highness Deanna Agnes, 5th Princess, is entering!”
A loud servant’s voice echoed throughout the conference room.
All the people sitting there stood up.
Through the heavily opened door, Deanna appeared with her usual, indecipherable smile along with her henchmen.
Soon, the 5th princess headed to her seat and glanced around the conference room, with a slight look of irritation in her eyes.
‘Ha, no one came, right?’
As expected, the other brothers and sisters’ seats were empty.
At some point, the royal family, excluding her, had been engaging in a pointless battle of pride over who would come into the conference room later.
It was a bad habit that had no benefit and only delayed the meeting time.
‘Should we make a bill about it during this meeting?’
When Deanna truly thinks that way.
“Her Highness Evelyn Agnes, Second Princess, is entering!”
Evelyn, who returned from work outside the imperial castle a few days ago, entered the conference room with the knights with her characteristic calm expression.
Is it because I have been to the border with the Demon Station, where small and large skirmishes still occur every day?
Evelyn’s face showed some kind of fatigue.
Jerk, jerk.
She sits down, naturally accepting greetings from people who stand up and slightly bow their heads toward her.
Not long after Evelyn entered the conference room.
“ha ha ha! “It’s probably not too late, right?”
“I’m sorry I’m a little late.”
4th Prince Utekan and 3rd Prince Enoch also began to enter one after another.
Enoch, who was the last to enter, apologized for being late, but he could not hide the slight sense of superiority in his eyes.
And then, as he sat down and looked around the conference room, a smile filled with joy began to appear on his lips.
‘You couldn’t come too?’
An empty seat on one side of the conference room.
Enoch knew who owned that seat, which would remain empty until the end of today’s meeting.
Zion Agnes.
‘How dare you attend a meeting without knowing the topic.’
Enoch did one thing after realizing that Zion was recruiting neutral lawmakers to attend the meeting.
Attracting two of the 11 neutral lawmakers to Enoch’s side.
In that case, Zion could not attend the meeting as it only received support from nine lawmakers.
A simple but effective method.
Since Zion was once again drawing the lawmakers he had already recruited to his side, there was no way the plan would go awry.
‘I wonder what kind of expression he’s making.’
Enoch smiled even brighter as he imagined his indifferent face becoming distorted.
Did he finally think that all preparations for the meeting were complete?
Evelyn looked around at Enoch, who was smiling, and the other people sitting there, then stood up.
“Now, let’s start the government meeting… … .”
Soon, the declaration announcing the start of the meeting was about to come out of her mouth.
Shake!
The door to the conference room opened once again.
“… … ?”
People’s gazes turn towards the door.
Who else would even enter?
When people were young, there was no one to come here anymore, so there was doubt in people’s eyes.
“His Highness 6th Prince Sion Agnes is entering!”
The servant’s loud voice echoed throughout the conference room.
“!!!!!!”
At that moment, people’s eyes changed from doubt to astonishment.
Jerk, jerk.
Such people begin to hear quiet footsteps that ominously stimulate deep within their hearts.
Shion with languid eyes slowly enters the conference room with him.
Silence continues.
Is it because someone you thought would never be able to attend showed up?
… … .
Everyone in the conference hall, including the royal family and nobles, was looking at Zion who entered with wide eyes, without even being able to get up.
How on earth could Prince Shion enter the conference hall?
And 3rd Prince Enoch had the most violent reaction.
“for a moment!”
Enoch broke the silence with a loud shout and glared at the attendant who was managing the number of attendees at the meeting.
“How is he here? “I mean, how on earth can you get into the conference room!”
The servant responded, cringing at the sight of his bloody face, as if he would be killed if he said even the slightest mistake.
“His Majesty Sion met the qualifications to attend the national meeting with the support of more than ten lawmakers.”
“… … what? That can’t be possible. “Please check again!”
“Wow, I’m sure. “I am exactly eleven members of parliament.”
Enoch, who looked blank for a moment at the servant’s answer, turned his head towards the neutral lawmakers he had recruited in advance.
The two lawmakers quickly shook their heads left and right as if they were not the same.
‘Then who…? … .’
Enoch’s eyes were filled with confusion.
Could it be that there were more neutral lawmakers that were not identified?
Besides, I couldn’t even understand how there were eleven people instead of ten.
at that time.
“I want to ask you something.”
Zion, who had come right in front of Enoch, opened her mouth in a drowsy voice.
“Why did you think I would only attract neutrals?”
“… … what?”
“You should have taken better care of yourself first.”
Enoch realized something from those words and turned his gaze toward where the lawmakers supporting him were sitting.
Two lawmakers unable to make eye contact with him.
“What a dog… … !”
At this, a boiling cry of anger burst from Enoch’s mouth.
“Now… … .”
Zion turned away from Enoch as if she had nothing more to see.
“Let’s start the meeting.”
He grinned at the people looking at him.
