Became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 78

Chapter 23: Mystery (1)

Ozrima is one of the five families that support the Agnes Empire and is called the greatest magician.

Around a huge round table in the depths of the Ozrima family, about a dozen people with the highest status within the family were sitting with serious expressions on their faces.

“How did this happen?”

Among them, an old man with a long gray beard opened his mouth as if lamenting.

The subject didn’t exist, but everyone here knew what it meant.

Death of 3rd Prince Enoch.

Since the Ozrima family was Enoch’s maternal family and fully supported him, the confusion was bound to be greater than elsewhere.

Moreover, Enoch did not just die.

Because he died in a state entangled in various taboos, rather than defending or mourning, it was a situation where he did his best to avoid being involved.

Thanks to this, we were able to escape the chaos to some extent, but the atmosphere in the family was still not good.

Because it was a situation where a new focal point could not be found.

“I guess I have to make a decision now.”

As if to represent the feelings of such people, a middle-aged man wearing a red robe symbolizing the flame magic tower opened his mouth.

“Which of the direct royal family members will you support?”

Up until now, I had been silent out of caution, but I couldn’t do that forever.

There was much more to be gained than to be lost by supporting one of the royal family members.

If the royal family they supported became emperor, it was possible to overtake the other five great families and gain supreme power.

And because the current Ozrima was falling further and further behind the other five great families, the choice had to be even more important.

“First of all, we have received calls from the 2nd princess, 4th prince, and 5th princess. “I think it would be easy to choose between these.”

“no. “It shouldn’t be okay.”

Groud Ozrima, the number one successor to Ozrima, who had been silent until now at the man’s words, shook his head and opened his mouth.

“Now that we have already lost the third prince, we are one step behind other families. “If you make good choices here, you will continue to fall behind.”

“Then what should I do?”

“You just have to make choices that others don’t make.”

Groud, who answered like that, continued speaking in a meaningful voice.

“What about the first prince?”

“… … !”

“By converting to the Church of Light, he has now lost almost all ties with the royal family and has been excluded from the competition for the throne, but that was something the 1st Prince did of his own accord. “Until then, you all knew the majesty of the first prince within the imperial castle.”

Of course, other people knew that too.

But he was still not the first prince.

Because of that incident, not only did he completely lose sight of the emperor, but the first prince himself had no interest in the throne at all.

Therefore, even if you supported it, you had absolutely nothing to gain.

In addition, the public’s attention would not be favorable either.

“Of course you will think this is nonsense. There is nothing to be gained by supporting the royal family who have no intention of ascending to the throne. But what if that’s not the case?”

“What are you saying now? no way… … Are you saying that the 1st prince is still thinking about ascending to the throne?”

Groud didn’t respond to those words and just smiled, but that was enough of an answer.

The conference room starts to become agitated.

“The first prince has ample potential. As long as it is properly supported. In addition, its power will have diminished due to the gap of a few years, so it will be easy to control.”

“… … .”

People who do not refute Groud’s words and remain silent.

It was as if people were losing their minds.

“Still, it’s not good to be hasty, so let’s first watch the other royal family members as well. “You might see the first prince sooner or later anyway, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to decide then.”

Growd shrugs his shoulders and concludes his sentence.

However, unlike his closed mouth, his mind began to work faster and make plans for the future.

* * *

A small garden located near the capital, Hubris.

Zion was walking alone on a quiet mountain path in such a garden.

‘I never thought there would be a place like this nearby.’

The natural scenery next to the mountain path, seemingly untouched by human hands, was quite a sight to see.

No, it was correct to say that it was very beautiful.

It’s surprising that a place like this hasn’t become famous as a walking trail yet.

The reason why Zion is now walking this mountain path was simple.

‘Mysterious.’

A person known to have the best skills in the empire in the field of improving the human body.

Last night, Ahamad Ozrima relayed information that a mysterious figure was near the capital, and the place where such a strange figure was staying was in the mountains.

‘I didn’t know that Ahmad would tell me first.’

In this case, rather than blaming the information power of Eternal Shadow, it was right to admire the mysterious ability to completely hide his whereabouts except from his close friends.

Should we say that he is someone who has never shown himself even in the chronicle?

Additionally, the method of encountering the mysterious monster was difficult.

First of all, no one except the person receiving treatment could meet the ghost doctor, and in order to receive such treatment, a handwritten letter of recommendation written by a friend of the ghost doctor was required.

Therefore, Zion was walking alone on the mountain path with Ahmad’s letter of recommendation in her arms.

‘Did you say that one treatment per letter of recommendation is all?’

at that time.

-tweet!

With a flash of blue light, a small bird appeared on Zion’s right shoulder.

A bird with blue feathers chirping towards Zion as if speaking.

“… … .”

Zion stared at the bird blankly.

The identity of the blue bird was none other than the self and inherent spirit within the relics of the Frost Queen.

However, this spirit was a bit different from the typical unique spirits that Zion knew.

‘First of all, you can’t speak.’

Because it was a native spirit with a wisdom so profound that no human could fathom it, communication was supposed to be basic, but all this thing did was chirp.

Additionally, the power I felt was weaker than I thought.

-hmm… … Is it really a unique spirit?

Thierry asked this on the first day he saw the spirit.

Of course, Sion had no doubt that this bird was a unique spirit.

‘It’s just an imperfect state.’

It’s probably because I’ve only been able to collect two pieces yet.

In addition, the fact that I infused Black Star instead of Mana when first resonating the artifact pieces seemed to have had some influence.

‘Still, I think I understand what you’re saying.’

Zion remembered the spirit chirping and getting angry when Fredo asked if its name should be Chirp.

-tweet!

Of course, it was cute to chirp as if arguing an opinion next to him, but being cute didn’t help Shion himself.

“I have no choice but to gradually learn how to use it.”

How much further did I climb the mountain path, muttering like that?

As we slowly approached the summit, a small hut caught Zion’s eyes.

‘Is it there?’

A hut in the mountains like this would inevitably be a place where a mysterious spirit resides.

But there was already a passenger in front of the cabin.

Two men, one woman and one girl.

The species was also diverse, including giants, fairies, and humans. Among them, a giant man was yelling at a girl who looked to be about fifteen years old.

“Damn it! When will the strange evil come? I’ve been waiting since last night just because I heard it was here! “But why can’t I even see the snout?!”

His face looks very angry.

“Well, I don’t know when Master is coming… … So, if you wait a little longer… … .”

The girl responded with tears in her eyes, but it was not enough to appease the giant’s anger.

“Do you know how many times I said that? You made me wait this long! “Do you know who I am and are doing this?”

“Hey, your voice is making my head pound, so shut up. “Because you’re not the only one waiting here.”

At that time, the fairy man next to me frowned and opened his mouth in a cold voice.

A refined blade-like prayer flowed from the fairy’s entire body, which led us to guess that he possessed great skills.

“What are you, shut up? And while I make you wait like this, you don’t even lose your temper… … “What is that guy again?”

However, because he was a giant whose prayers were not inferior to him at all, as he continued to shout, the image of Zion coming towards him came into his eyes.

“under… … .”

Soon a sigh flows from the giant’s mouth.

And with that, his face crumpled.

“Since when did the world’s most mysterious doctors start receiving treatment like that?”

That’s because no power was felt from the newly appeared Shion.

His body seemed to be well-trained, but that was still human standards, and his eyes were extremely blurry.

“Are you saying it doesn’t matter if it’s recommended by an acquaintance? “If this continues, I won’t be able to receive all of my medical treatment today.”

A giant who openly ignores Shion and gets irritated.

The giant’s name is Kaftan.

He was the only successor to the ‘Blue Claw Tribe’, one of the famous giant colonies in the North.

I had such great pride that I couldn’t understand the fact that I had to receive treatment like someone whose level wasn’t right.

In addition, my patience was at its peak as I had already been wandering around the empire from the giant colony for a month to meet the strange monster.

‘Even though I only changed the hair color, the effect is clear.’

Shion thought as he looked at the giant.

Because it was an unofficial outing, Shion’s dark gray hair, characteristic of the immediate royal family, had now turned lighter.

I wondered if he might recognize his face, but seeing the giant’s reaction, I thought I didn’t have to worry about that.

Well, if you think about it, it made sense.

Unlike other members of the royal family, Sion himself not only did not engage in outside activities much, but he also did not often go outside the imperial castle in the first place.

Even within the imperial castle, there were people who did not know Zion’s own face, so knowing it could have been even more strange.

‘Even the Ouroboros guys didn’t know my face.’

So I wasn’t particularly angry.

It’s just a bit absurd.

At that time, Zion’s eyes caught the image of a human woman looking at him with her eyes wide open next to the fairy man.

‘I never thought I’d see you here.’

It was clearly a familiar face, so a strange look appeared in Shion’s eyes.

‘Princess Zion Agnes… … !’

Lynette Ilones, a woman with gray hair, was looking at Zion with disbelief and internally vomiting astonishment.

Unlike when I saw him at the previous succession ceremony, his hair color was lighter and he didn’t feel any energy, but I could tell the moment I saw him.

That lazy face.

That face smiling at her among the supervisors and monster corpses that filled the control room was not something she could ever forget.

‘Uh, why is Prince Shion here?’

Just thinking about that incident again gave me goosebumps and my whole body was shaking with fear.

Although it was proper to say hello first according to etiquette, she lowered her head to avoid Shion’s eyes.

Lynette clearly remembered Prince Sion smiling at her and Veil and telling them to keep it a secret.

Of course, what he meant was to keep what I saw there a secret, but for some reason I felt like I shouldn’t pretend to know anything.

at that time.

“You guys know that?”

The giant Kaftan, who was looking at Zion with disapproving eyes, smiled meaningfully as if he suddenly remembered something and opened his mouth to the people.

As a result, attention is focused on the kaftan.

“It is said that the nature of the eccentric is as eccentric and temperamental as its name suggests.”

Even though there was a girl nearby who seemed to be a disciple of the mysterious spirit, his words and actions were unhesitating.

“So, if there are that many people receiving treatment, the strange doctor may suddenly act on a whim and postpone or completely refuse treatment for one or two of them. “I actually heard something like that happened before.”

In the first place, a recommendation from an acquaintance was only the minimum condition for meeting a mysterious person.

Having a recommendation letter did not necessarily mean you could receive treatment.

“so?”

The fairy man asked Kaftan with cold eyes.

The giant grinned at the fairy and opened his mouth again.

“In that case, how about we compete against each other by submitting letters of recommendation?”

“How to compete?”

“Of course it’s helpless.”

In the first place, many of those who came to visit the mysterious doctor came to improve their bodies and become stronger rather than because they were sick.

So, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to compete with each other’s strengths to decide who gets treatment.

That was when the fairy man smiled and was about to accept, as if he liked what he said.

Much faster than that.

“I’m going to fall in!”

The words of rejection came out of Lynette’s pale mouth.
