Episode 166
“Tell me in detail.”
“Well, that is••••••
As the subject who was reporting to the prince began to look at me, 1st Prince Kroster Redian spoke.
“It’s okay to listen to Ruin Ball together, so come on!”
“Yes, yes. that is… … . Lord Maltan, the Grand Secretary, has disappeared.”
“… … Disappear? total capital security
“Where has the Chief Minister gone?”
“I do not know. “He did not attend the report this morning, and since this was unprecedented, we sent soldiers to check the company residence and found no one there.”
“Is there no one there?”
“yes. That’s literally it. The items were still there, and the cold breakfast was definitely prepared… … . “There were no people.”
Everything stays the same, ‘people’
This has disappeared.
There must be more than one or two people in the Grand Secretary’s residence, so where have all those people gone?
The faces of the princes distorted at the strange report of their subject.
“So, how was the capital security today?”
“Ah, I experienced a brief moment of confusion, but… … “Everything is under control now.”
“confusion? Approximately? If the Deputy Director is away, what is the Deputy Director doing that causes confusion? Like today?
“On this important day when the local nobles gather in large numbers in the capital!”
“Well, that…” … . The deputy chief of staff has also disappeared.”
“what?”
The first prince stood up in anger, and the subject who was reporting was crying as if he did not know what was going on.
“Again, it was the same… … . There was no one in the deputy chief’s residence either. Well, we are also checking to see what happened… … . yet… …
Prince 1 said, clenching his fists.
“The Grand Secretary, Sir Horseman, is a trustworthy man.
all. It is clear that something is going on with him. “Check it out right now.”
“I obey your orders!”
When the subject lowered his head and tried to leave, I quickly opened my mouth.
“Prince. “Doesn’t something seem strange?”
“… … Ruin Ball. “What do you mean by that?”
“Secretary of Defense, Vice-Secretary of Defense. Key positions in charge of capital security disappeared all at once. Either he was bribed by someone or he was murdered. “It’s probably one of the two.”
“yes. So let me hurry and check
“Don’t you want to see it?”
“Of course we have to check. However, the order is wrong. “You need to prepare before finding the cause.”
“prepare? “Please tell me in more detail.”
“Someone is targeting those in charge of capital security. So why? “Isn’t the purpose obvious?”
Prince 2, who had been quietly listening to my story, frowned and said.
“… … Someone tried to enter the capital
all?”
“you’re right. “It may be that a large number of people with uncertain identities infiltrated the capital, taking advantage of the disappearance of military commanders and the confusion in the security system.”
“Who are you saying is trying to enter the capital?”
“It will be one of two things. He is a traitor targeting the royal family… …
“Bah, treason!”
I took a breath and turned my gaze elsewhere.
He was a swordsman who was in the midst of a swordsmanship competition.
“Or today. Either he is holding a grudge against the ‘nobles’ who have gathered into the palace like a cloud.”
At the word treason, the princes’ faces immediately lit up with excitement, but I raised my hand as if to calm them down.
“It’s just a guess, but the latter seems more likely.”
“What is the reason?”
“The fact that they came in targeting military commanders from the beginning means that it was a carefully prepared plan. But the swordsman
Did they not know that the circuit nobles would gather and the capital security would be strengthened? no. You must have known. Rather, they were probably aiming for this situation.”
The twin princes nodded as if what I said made sense.
“Well, then who is that? He has a grudge against the nobles.”
“Lord Luin, it looks like you have someone who has a guess?”
I look away from the two princes
He looked at the nobles attending the swordsmanship competition as if they were watching.
All of them grow by eating the fruits that fall from under the tree that Gary Hill grew.
When the tree was about to collapse, they were the first to uproot the tree.
And, the opportunists who were looking for an opportunity to establish themselves under the name of the new ‘Ardel’.
“I heard that Josh Garryhill escaped from the dungeon.”
“Well, then Gary Hill… … ?”
“yes. If my guess is correct. Yes
So, who are the people that ‘Gary Hill’ is targeting?”
The most likely candidate is Ruina.
They probably didn’t expect me to be in the capital, but since Ruina applied to participate in the swordsmanship competition, it’s highly likely that she checked in advance.
Maybe he wanted to catch Ruina and get revenge on me.
And, other candidates.
I pointed my finger at the nobles watching the swordsmanship competition.

“Traitors.”
“… … betrayer?”
“yes. “They must be nobles who betrayed George Garryhill and tried to change his power.”
“Well, then! Call the Golden Knights right away and focus on defending the palace.
It was then.
bang! Quaaaang!
In the middle of the palace.
And that too, very close by.
A huge explosion was heard and people screamed.
“It’s already too late.”
“Wow, prince! Avoid!”
Sreung! Slurp!
The knights each drew their swords and began to surround the twin princes.
I feel it.
The sticky yet disgusting smell of Warlocks.
My eyes flashed.
“Lord Bolvar.”
“Give orders, master.”
“Please take care of Ruina.”
Lord Bolvar lowered his head, exuding a terrifying aura for a moment.
“… … Even if it means risking my life.”
My gaze was not directed at the front door, where black smoke was billowing out, but toward the back door, which was in the opposite direction.
Gary Hill.
This damn tough relationship.
Today, let’s really see the end.
bang! Kwaaaaang!
A huge explosion was heard from the direction of the palace’s main gate, and black smoke rose endlessly upward.
A mysterious disaster strikes a nobles’ festival where a swordsmanship competition is being held.
Few people wondered about the cause of this disaster.
“Do, run away!”
“Kyaaaah!”
To save his life, he simply ran away through the back door, in the opposite direction from the front door.
The sword warrior suddenly turned into a savage one, and Ruina Ardel was enjoying the joy of victory in the middle of the sword warrior.
“Oh, brother! Irene sister… … ! Lord Bolvar!”
He desperately cried out for his family and looked around with anxious eyes.
However, it was not easy to find them.
This is because it was impossible to distinguish between the front and the back, buried in the large crowd of people running away.
It was then.
Ruina hurriedly turned around to see the killing spewing out at her.
visor!
Instinctively, I swung Zenigrasil, which blocked the blow of the assassin who was aiming for a vital spot with a dagger.
It was a great choice.
“W-Who are you!”
Ruina screamed in an angry voice.
A masked man hiding in the fleeing crowd.
He did not answer the question, but started a second attack again.
For the first time in her life, Ruina felt fear as if her feet were freezing due to the blatant killing.
I immediately came to my senses and tried to defend myself.
However, the assassin’s attack did not continue.
This is because an ice arrow flew from somewhere precisely and pierced the assassin’s leg, sending him crashing to the ground.
“Oh, sister!”
When Ruina turned her head, Irene Prius was standing there, walking towards her with a pure white chill.
She glared at the assassin with eyes full of anger.
Without hesitation, he summoned an ice spear in his right hand.
However, there was no chance for Irene to pierce the assassin’s neck.
Suddenly!
This is because the sword wind that flew like the wind hit the assassin’s neck, and the spears that flew in succession with speed that was difficult to chase turned the assassin’s body into a bee nest.
“Look, Lord Bolvar!”
Ruina ran for the first time, feeling both a sense of fear for her life and a sense of relief.
Then, he grabbed Bolvar Peten’s trouser legs and burst into tears.
Bolvar Peten said as he hugged Ruina.
“It’s okay now, lady.”
“Huh… …
“Ruina. Don’t worry anymore. “Because my sister will protect me.”
There was more than one assassin targeting Ruina.
Assassins and wizards disguised as nobles began to surround Ruina at once.
Bolvar Peten said, glaring at the assassins with a terrifying look on his face.
“You’re targeting a young lady. “It looks like you have about 30 lives.”
“I won’t ask who it is. “We’re all going to die anyway.”
And Irene Prius, who was standing nearby, walked forward.
“How dare you make my cute Ruina cry.”
Irene Prius’s eyes were already flashing with pure white cold.
She has already reached class 6 and is one of the century’s thousand re-mages.
He threw a cold sneer at the assassins shooting towards him.
“Be prepared. “I won’t let anyone live.”
Okay! Damn it!
The area around her began to freeze rapidly, and before she knew it, the entire sword armored field had turned into a huge block of ice.
Noble swordsmanship competition.
Nobles with children around 16 years old
Anyone.
No, even small and medium-sized nobles who want to build relationships with large nobles.
To add a little bit of exaggeration, it was a disaster that struck the palace where all the nobles of the Rhedian Kingdom were gathered.
A loud noise indicating an attack was heard from the front gate, and naturally all the nobles fled towards the back gate.
This was a successful trap set by ‘Gary Hill’.
“father. Did I tell you? They’re idiots who can’t think in the first place, so they’ll all run away through the back door.
“Let’s go.”
Jaquil Gary Hill.
The eldest son of the Garryhill family, who requested asylum from the Crown Prince and was avoiding disaster.
He bowed his head towards his father, who was enjoying the moment of revenge he had dreamed of for a long time.
With a satisfied smile, his father, Josh Garryhill, grabbed the neck of a nobleman who was running away into his arms.
Kwasik!
“It’s been a while. “Scribe.”
“Huh, huh! Well, you… … !”
“Are you surprised? I guess so. The Gary Hill are the ones who were torn to pieces and ran away from the kingdom. But you should have been nervous. “If I had escaped that dirty dungeon, you would have thought that one day I would come for your head.”
Josh Garyhill’s eyes turned dark.
The black magic that emanated from his grasp, ‘Mule’s Seal’, energized the scribe.
I started sucking it in.
“Kwaa, kwaaeook.
The scribe withered away in an instant, dying like withering leaves on a tree.
Josh Garyhill muttered as he threw the body on the floor like trash.
“You suck up all the sweet water from me, and then when you get a little disadvantaged, you quickly turn your back on me? Did you still want to live? Even though you looked at me funny, you looked at me funny for a long time.”
This was the beginning.
“Kwaaaaaak!”
“Aaaahhh!”
Gary Hill’s black magicians, who took control of the palace’s back gate, began pouring black magic indiscriminately at the fleeing nobles.
“Crab, Gary Hill?”
“On the other hand, run away!”
The nobles, who belatedly realized what was going on, began to run away again in the direction of Geommujang, but the wizards chased after them.
“Kkekekeke, they look like cockroaches running away like crazy. I warned you. If you turn your back on Gary Hill, everyone will die.
“I would.”
In the one-sided massacre that followed, corpses began to pile up like a mountain.
As the bodies piled up, Josh Garryhill’s laughter became more and more frantic.
It was then.
bang!
At the same time as the strange hitting sound, the hunting dogs chasing their prey flew backwards.
dump!
It fell in front of Josh Garyhill, who was in the rear.
“..I”
Josh Garryhill’s eyes glowed fiercely.
“… … “Who are you?”
He raised his head to find the source of the attack.
at that time.
“Did you find me?”
Kwaaang-!
A ‘ghost’ appeared with incredible speed and attacked him, and Josh Gary Hill fell to the floor and twitched his eyebrows.
I cried.
“Yes, why you?”
The face I wanted to see so much.
A face that won’t hurt even if you chew it.
However, it was a face I never expected to see today.
Ruin Ardel.
He smiled devilishly and raised his fist.
“It’s going to hurt.”
M »
“To the point where I want to die.”
The fist came down mercilessly towards the face of Josh Garryhill.
