I Became the Youngest Prince in the Novel Chapter 85

Became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 85

Chapter 24: Fallen Star (5)

With Zion’s consent, the board was created in an instant.

The ostensible reason was that the successor memorial service, which was the next step in the funeral, could not be held while doubts about the legitimate successor remained, but everyone here knew that that was not the point.

‘The battle for the next throne.’

When the late Emperor Urdios was alive, the secret struggle that had been going on underground was finally revealed to the surface.

It was supposed to take place at least after the emperor’s funeral, but the timing was brought forward by Utecan.

It is obvious that whoever takes the lead here will have a more advantageous position in the future battle.

The eyes of the people watching also had a much more interesting glow than before.

It was natural that people would be more interested in the battle for the next throne than the emperor’s funeral.

“after… … .”

The 5th princess Deanna let out a small sigh and began to climb up to the platform where the relic sword of the Holy Emperor was placed.

Utekan had just picked up the sword, so it was immediately her turn.

Although she may have something to gain from this incident, she had nothing to lose, so her expression, which should have been bright, looked somewhat anxious.

‘Something is wrong.’

Deanna thinks as she looks at the sword stuck in the stone slab.

The reason she made that decision was not because of Shion’s quiet eyes, whose thoughts were still unknown.

‘They said it definitely reacts to Agnes’ blood.’

In that case, it was natural that Shion, who did not get along with Agnes to the extent that she was called a disgrace to the royal family until she became an adult, was at a disadvantage.

No matter how late the blood was awakened, there would be no change in that since it was only a short period of time.

But there was one variable.

‘Sword of extinction.’

A half-black sword that spread alien darkness and cut off all kinds of magic from Zion’s hand during the battle with Rugan Ursula and 3rd Prince Enoch.

Deanna knew that the sword was the sword used by Emperor Yongye, the first emperor of the empire.

In other words, Zion may have made progress for eternity.

Could it be that Agnes’s blood is thin enough to continue the progress of eternity?

‘If that’s really the case, then this is all… … .’

Along with that, one assumption came to Deanna’s mind.

But it was such a leap of faith that she shook her head and dismissed the assumption.

Then he grabbed the handle of the old sword that was stuck there.

Hwaaaaaaa!

Then, starlight bursts out from the sword body and fills all directions.

“Oh oh!”

An exclamation came from those who supported her.

The brightness of that light was not at all inferior to that of Utecan a moment ago.

No, in some ways it even seemed a little brighter.

Nevertheless, Deanna immediately puts down her sword and comes down from the platform without any sign of joy.

“I will do the next one.”

As soon as the 5th princess came down, Evelyn stepped up to the stage.

Her face looks somehow dissatisfied.

‘I don’t like it.’

Evelyn did not like this situation itself.

Of course, she knew that, unlike before, she would have to compete with Sion in the future, and she also knew that this was an opportunity to weaken Sion’s power.

However, I did not want to fight for the throne by stopping the late emperor’s funeral.

This is not a situation that suits her who values ​​principles and pursues fair competition.

Therefore, Evelyn wanted to end this situation as quickly as possible.

With that feeling in mind, she immediately grabbed the handle of the sword without hesitation.

Puhwahahahaha!

A moment ago, a brilliant starlight began to burst out from the sword body, incomparable to when Utekan and Deanna caught it.

A white light that can instantly blind you!

Not only that, but the unknown letters on the stone tablet where the sword was stuck were also glowing.

Crash!

Along with that, the sword begins to be pulled out little by little from the stone slab.

Wow!

The knights, who had been staring blankly for a moment at the sight, which was clearly compared to before, immediately let out a huge roar.

Should we really say that he is one of the strongest men of the present era?

The sight of even the sword embedded in the stone slab being pulled out due to Cheon Seong-hae’s incredible achievement was causing admiration not only to those who supported her but also to those who competed with her.

“I’m not getting selected anymore.”

Evelyn muttered indifferently and let go of the handle despite the exclamations and shouts of those people.

Soon, her new brother headed to the bottom of the podium.

“Haha, it’s Evelyn, after all. “If this happens, won’t it be a burden for me, who is next?”

The 1st Prince spoke to Evelyn in a soft voice, passed her as she was coming down, and slowly headed up the stage.

Contrary to his words, his face looked calm.

“Light, give me strength.”

The moment Rubrios grabbed the sword with a short prayer, like the rest of the royal family, a brilliant light burst out and filled the room.

Was it really because he was also a monster who had learned Cheonseonghae to level 6?

The brightness of the light was comparable to that of Evelyn a moment ago, and the sword of the Reverend Emperor was also being pulled out a little further from the stone slab.

“Oh, holy light!”

Seeing that scene, the priests prayed to the God of Light, and others also saw surprise and admiration once again.

Soon, as the prayers and exclamations subsided,

“Now, it’s your turn, Shion.”

Rubrios put down his sword and opened his mouth, smiling expectantly at Sion.

People’s eyes naturally focus on Zion.

Shion, who looked at the 1st prince with calm eyes for a moment, began to walk.

Jerk, jerk.

Even though I am just walking, I feel the same strange sensation as before.

The moment the eyes of those who looked at him wavered, Zion’s new form was already on top of the podium.

“… … .”

Zion’s eyes slowly scan the people there.

Soon, Zion’s eyes stopped in front of one person.

That person was none other than Utekan, who was looking at us with a very expectant look on his face.

Sion knew what the young anticipation on that Utecan’s face meant.

‘I am failing.’

That wasn’t just a failure, it was an egregious failure that prevented them from being recognized as Agnes’ blood relatives.

‘Hurry up and grab the sword, Sion!’

Utekan urged Shion with his eyes.

Shion slowly extends her hand towards the sword of the Holy Emperor.

Finally, under the gaze of Utekan and everyone else, Sion grabbed the handle of the sword.

… … .

But the silence that follows the sword where nothing happens.

‘Khahaha! also!’

In such silence, all the expectations in Utekan’s eyes were replaced with joy,

“what… … .”

It was the moment when a small question came out of someone’s mouth.

——————–!

darkness.

It was dark.

In an instant, the endless darkness that bursts out from the sword body quickly begins to color the entire Baekseong Palace pitch black, beyond the vacant lot where people are gathered.

The stone slab, unable to withstand the force, turns to ash and crumbles, and the sword of the Reverend Emperor shakes as if it were crying.

People were staring blankly at the scene that far surpassed even common sense, unable to even make a sound.

What on earth is going on?

There was not a single person here who understood it.

“how… … .”

Utekan looks at the sword of the Holy Emperor in Sion’s hand with eyes filled with confusion and astonishment.

It couldn’t be like this.

No, it couldn’t be like this.

It was a sword that only responded to Cheon Seong-hae.

But why is it reacting so violently in the hands of Sion Agnes, who has not learned to understand nature?

‘This should be enough.’

Shion looked at the 4th prince and smiled slightly.

Does Utecan know?

From the beginning, all of this was what Zion himself intended.

Sion knew that there were many people who were suspicious and dissatisfied with Urdios’s designation of him as the successor, and he also knew that the issue would arise again one day.

That’s why I used it in reverse.

‘It was a coincidence that Utekan got caught.’

Sion, who learned information about the Emperor’s sword through Eon’s Shadow, passed it on to other royal family members upon the Emperor’s death.

And it was none other than Utekan who took the bait.

It was very easy to predict that Utekan would organize a funeral at the most crowded funeral.

‘Honestly, I didn’t expect you to react this much.’

With that thought, Sion looked at the Sword of the Reverend Emperor, which was still emitting darkness.

In fact, I was confident that the Sword of the Reverend Emperor would react to the Black Star.

I guessed that the reason the Yeokseongje was obsessed with Cheonseonghae was because he could not use the Eternal Emperor’s power.

In that case, he must have had regrets about the power of Eternal Emperor, and there was a high probability that he would have put those regrets into this sword.

I didn’t know the reaction would be this much.

‘Am I becoming more accepted with this?’

Shion thought for a moment about the assumptions he had made about this world and then shook them off.

For now, the priority was to finish the work.

Phew!

Sion looked down at Utekan as he drove the nearly shattered relic sword of the Reverend Emperor into the platform.

He still looks like he hasn’t come to his senses properly.

“I believe you will keep your promise.”

Shion said with a grin towards Utekan.

* * *

The funeral is over.

It wasn’t exactly over yet, but it was safe to say it was.

All that remains are a few formalities.

Therefore, now that people who have gathered from all over the country to pay their respects are slowly preparing to return, Kwaang! Quang!

A loud sound was constantly coming from Jaseong Palace, one of the five palaces surrounding Baekseong Palace.

The person who created that sound was none other than Utekan, who was constantly pounding a large rock in the Jaseong Palace training hall.

Quaaaang!

A rock that visibly dents every time Utekan, who has no strength at all, touches it.

It showed how great his basic physical abilities were.

However, Utekan’s expression was distorted as he hit the rock like that.

In fact, this behavior was something Utekan did to relieve his anger.

“Whoa, whoo… … .”

To be exact, this was what Utekan did before being swallowed by the demon Tarahal, but there was no need to distinguish it.

Because Tarahal wanted to be Utekan himself.

Therefore, he imitated all of Utekan’s thoughts and actions and hoped that those who knew his identity would call him Utekan rather than his original name.

Quang! Quang! Quang!

After taking a moment to catch his breath, Utekan begins hitting the rock again.

The reason he was so angry was because of just one person.

‘Sion Agnes.’

The youngest brother, who was called the imprisoned prince until just a few months ago.

However, he has grown tremendously and has now reached a position similar to that of other royal family members.

“No, maybe we are already in the same position because of this funeral.”

If you asked people which royal family they decided to support following the funeral of Emperor Urdios, the answers were divided into several answers, but if you had to choose the most impressive royal family, they all chose only one: Sion Agnes.

Hero Liam Reiner and the Vigilance Corps.

And even the subsequent proof of succession.

In particular, the sight of Sion clutching the relic sword of the Emperor during the succession ceremony was so powerful that every person who remembers it of it shudders.

Even Utekan himself looked at me in fascination for a moment.

Quang! Quang!

Utekan was so angry that he was the one who created that appearance.

Even the doubts about the succession that had followed Zion since then had completely disappeared.

Because people focused on the fact that the relic of the Holy Emperor reacted so strongly regardless of light and darkness.

‘What happened? Obviously, that power wasn’t natural… … .’

I still couldn’t figure out why the relic reacted like that.

But now was not the time to think deeply about it.

First of all, it had to be resolved somehow, starting with handing over one of the Jeongro-goons to Sion.

‘Do we really have no choice but to use this?’

Mental erosion.

I was asked to do this by two other demons, but since there were so few demons capable of eroding high-ranking minds, I tried not to do it as much as possible.

‘Originally, I was going to use it after getting closer to the second princess, but I had no choice.’

Utekan, who was weighing the values ​​in his head for a moment, called one of his demons nearby.

“Tell Shion that I want to meet him. and… … “Call Azella.”
