Became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 63

Chapter 18: Night of Destruction (1)

“Zion.”

As Zion was leaving the conference room after the government meeting, he heard a voice calling his name.

When Shion turned his head in the direction from which the voice was heard, the figure of Eveline Agnes walking towards him caught his eye.

“Can you give me a moment?”

She opens her mouth to Shion in a slightly softer tone than when conducting the meeting.

Shion nodded at that.

“Then let’s talk while we walk.”

Evelyn started walking next to Shion.

Dozens of knights followed her, keeping a distance from her.

At that sight, the nobles who had been sneaking towards Sion after the meeting flinched and stopped.

I guess Evelyn is a burden.

How long did they walk without saying a word to each other after that?

After leaving Baekseong Palace, there were fewer people around.

“I heard well the news that you have defeated the Phantom Army and have been officially granted the status of successor. “It was amazing.”

Evelyn slowly opened her mouth.

“Honestly, I never really thought Zion would solve one of the disasters. No, before that I thought I wouldn’t even be able to pass the succession ceremony. “But it seems like my judgment about you was wrong.”

With those words, she turns her head and looks at Shion.

Her eyes contained numerous emotions, including surprise, pride, and worry.

In particular, Evelyn was even more surprised because she had heard everything from the 5th Division of the Gray Lions, who were present when the phantom army appeared.

It was known in the world that Sion subdued the Phantom Army with the help of the Gray Lions, but she knew very well that this was not the case.

‘Is it true that His Highness Zion really didn’t learn any powers until recently?’

‘then… … ‘I have never seen such a monster in my life.’

These were the words that Charon, the captain of the 5th division of the Gray Lions who returned to the castle, said to Evelyn herself.

I wanted to ask Shion directly about what happened back then, but Evelyn didn’t do that.

Now, Sion was also a legitimate contender for the throne, and he would not do anything to reveal his power to her, who was no better than his political enemy.

“I probably didn’t call you to say that… … “What do you want to say?”

Shion asked Evelyn.

Although it was recognition from Evelyn, who was called one of the strongest people of the current era and a strong candidate for the next emperor, there was no joy about him in Sion’s eyes.

It just has a dull glow as usual.

Evelyn closed her eyes once as if she was organizing her thoughts, then opened her mouth again.

“Why did you make that suggestion at the meeting a little while ago?”

“Are you talking about the review ceremony being postponed to a week later?”

“Yes. “You probably know that in order to hold a royal family inspection ceremony, you basically need your own forces.”

It also had to be a military group like the Knights, not a general force.

“Shion, as far as I know, you don’t have any forces except a few knights who protect Chimseong Palace. “But why did you decide to hold a review ceremony?”

Evelyn remembered.

4th Prince Utekan and 3rd Prince Enoch, who agreed as soon as Zion made the proposal a little while ago.

Those who had a lot of power under their command would have been happy with the offer.

Perhaps if Shion hadn’t spoken, one of them could have spoken first.

So she couldn’t understand Shion’s remarks even more.

“Because that’s how I can pull it out.”

“what? What on earth… … .”

Evelyn’s eyes are filled with doubt at Shion’s words.

However, Sion did not respond to Evelyn’s words.

Because it wasn’t time to talk yet.

“… … You’ve been saying things that I haven’t understood for a long time. “If you need drivers to take you to the inspection ceremony, I can provide support.”

“No, there is no need.”

Shion slightly shook his head.

Sure her suggestion wasn’t bad, but it really wasn’t necessary.

This review ceremony will not be held anyway.

With that, Sion turned his head towards Evelyn and opened his mouth in a calm voice.

“There is one thing I want to ask you more than that.”

* * *

Cheongseong Palace is one of the five palaces surrounding Baekseong Palace.

“What are you thinking this time?”

The 5th Princess Deanna, the owner of Cheongseong Palace, walked around in her study and muttered.

5 days.

It has already been five days since the Agnes government meeting ended.

However, there has been no movement from Zion so far.

And that fact was making her even more nervous.

“I don’t understand why such a suggestion was made at a government meeting… … .”

It would have been easier if other royal family members, such as Utekan or Evelyn, had suggested holding the parade.

I couldn’t understand the fact that Zion, who had no power, said those words.

In addition, if it had been pulled that way, it was even more unreasonable for Haru to be stuck inside Chimseong Palace and do nothing when it wasn’t enough to run around and recruit forces.

“Are you really trying to do it alone during the parade?”

Something unknown.

That was when the doubt in her eyes deepened.

“Your Highness Deanna, you have a guest.”

The servant’s voice was heard from outside the door.

“customer? “Who is it?”

“I am Her Royal Highness Princess Zion Agnes.”

“… … !”

Deanna’s eyes widened momentarily.

“Ask them to come in.”

Despite her surprise, Deanna calmly spoke to the servant and immediately sat down on the chair and crossed her legs with a relaxed expression.

There was no need to let him know that he had been walking back and forth in the study with a frown on his face just now, thinking about him.

Soon after.

Sweet.

The door to the study slowly opened, revealing Zion.

The same languid yet eerie look that I saw at the government meeting a few days ago.

Deanna still didn’t understand how a person’s mood could change so much.

“If you’re going to give me something to drink, I’ll have coffee. “Don’t add sugar.”

As soon as she sat down, Deanna looked at Shion with a puzzled expression.

Still, she gestured to her attendant and opened her mouth to Shion.

“It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other like this, hasn’t it, little brother?”

“is it?”

Shion scanned his memories.

In my memory, there was never a time when I was alone with Deanna, so it was probably before Zion himself came into this body.

“I don’t think we’re in a position to say hello to each other warmly, so let’s get straight to the point. “What brought you here?”

After that, Deanna looked into Sion’s eyes for a moment and asked him why he came here.

“I’m going to hit the 3rd prince.”

A calm tone, as if he was going for a walk this evening.

Deanna, who was speechless for a moment, asked once again.

“… … I beg your pardon? Are you going to attack the 3rd prince? So, 3rd prince Enoch?”

“okay.”

Deanna couldn’t understand what Zion was saying right now.

Although it is said that Zion recently dealt a blow by killing Enoch’s right-hand man, Legan Ursula, it was literally only a blow.

It is truly a part of Enoch’s numerous powers.

In comparison, the only forces on Zion’s side were Zion and the red-eyed woman.

“You know best that it doesn’t make sense, right?”

“So to make it make sense.”

“… … ?”

The 5th princess’s eyes were filled with doubt at Shion’s calm words.

Meanwhile, Shion took a sip of the coffee brought by the servant and slowly spoke.

“I borrow your strength. “Just until we hit Enoch.”

“under… … .”

Deanna let out a sigh as if she was dumbfounded by that.

“Kyahahahahaha!”

Immediately afterwards, loud laughter broke out.

After laughing for a while, she looked at Shion, who was still calm and putting down the teacup.

Unlike her face, which still had a smile on it, Deanna’s eyes turned cold, as if she could freeze at any moment.

“If it was a joke, it was funny. “Little brother.”

“… … .”

“If you’re serious, tell me. Why should I take the risk of starting an all-out war with one of the royal family members and lend my power to my brother, who has no power at all? What do I gain by lending my power? and… … .”

Gradually, brightly shining stars begin to swirl within her eyes.

“Why did you think I would lend my strength to my younger brother in the first place?”

One, two, three… … The stars of the Cheonseonghae are increasing in number and becoming brighter.

“Brother Shion. To make such a suggestion, both parties must be at the same level. “Did you really think that my younger brother and I were on the same level?”

Dudduddu!

Due to Deanna’s natural harm finally being fully revealed, the surrounding air is rapidly being crushed and the space begins to tremble.

A power worthy of Agnes’ direct blood relatives, who are truly called monsters beyond heaven.

Under pressure that would make a normal person faint just by standing in front of him.

“I want to ask you something.”

Zion’s eyes, looking into Deanna’s eyes, draw a line.

A black star slowly revealing itself in Zion’s eyes.

“Who judges that level?”

At the same time, the heterogeneous darkness spreading through space begins to swallow up all the light of Cheonseonghae that fills the surroundings.

The pressure disappears as if it never existed in the first place.

“what… … .”

There was deep astonishment in the 5th princess’s eyes.

It was a power that far exceeded her expectations, but what shocked Deanna even more than that was the black stars shining within Zion’s eyes.

A power I have never seen or heard of before in my life.

It wasn’t magic, martial arts, or even innate ability.

Something similar to Cheon Cheon-hae, but deeper and darker than that.

Deanna felt an instinctive fear from the black stars shining in Zion’s eyes.

‘I… … ‘You feel afraid?’

At that moment, a story slowly began to emerge in Deanna’s mind.

A story related to the power used by Emperor Yeongeok, the first emperor of the Agnes Empire, that she had seen in passing in one of the secret places of the imperial castle a long time ago.

‘no way… … .’

In addition, the sword of annihilation that Sion had used to kill Icarus’ former leader Regan Ursula was also passing through her mind.

“There is no need for you to come forward yourself. “You just need to lend me the spirit army under your command.”

Zion quietly recited as if it would naturally come true.

Deanna looked at Shion with shaking eyes for a moment, then sighed a little and sighed.

“… … Let me ask you one question again. “Why did you come to see me?”

The question that soon came out of her mouth.

“Because you hate Enoch the most.”

“Just because?”

“And the basement of Jeokseong Palace.”

“… … !”

“Isn’t this enough?”

There was no need to list the other reasons one by one.

Zion knew.

Deanna Agnes at this time was already thinking about attacking the 3rd prince.

In fact, according to the chronology, at the royal family inspection ceremony that was to be held a month later, the 5th princess attacked Enoch when he came out of the castle.

Of course, it wasn’t an all-out war that she personally launched, and even that failed.

The definitive reason why Dienna secretly attacked Enoch was not stated in the chronicles, but Zion guessed that the reason was related to the basement of Jeokseong Palace where Enoch was staying.

“… … .”

Hearing Shion’s words, Deanna closed her mouth for a moment as if she was thinking deeply about something.

‘Enoch is definitely the most annoying. Recently, their behavior that crossed the line has become more severe, so I tried to pay them back. Plus… … .’

Her eyes begin to grow colder as she remembers the annihilation of a unit of the spirit corps Igracia, the vague information she had gained about the basement of the Jeokseong Palace, and various other things.

Watching her worry like that, Shion leisurely tilted his teacup.

Because the answer was predetermined anyway.

For this purpose, even small seeds were sown in the past, so there will be no surprises.

Soon after.

“… … “You must have thought about how to hit it in advance, right?”

Finally, a question indicating acceptance flowed from the 5th princess’s mouth.
