Episode 174
Laugh.
In the face of a situation where I might die.
In a situation where one’s defeat is confirmed.
I wondered for a moment whether I had lost my mind.
This was a funny worry.
On the crown prince’s face, there was not the slightest sense of danger that he would die.
Even though I could kill myself right now if I wanted to.
Instead of being scared, he raised his eyebrows as if he found this situation amusing.
“The two bishops were caught helplessly. If it were real chess, at least one thing would have to be changed, but the calculation would be correct.”
“I have no intention of changing it. “They are not chess pieces, they are my family.”
“Have you become so strong that you can’t even have fun with two 7th class wizards? The reason why my godfather leaves in an unusual way
“I think I know a little bit.”
“It’s checkmate. Are you surrendering?”
At my question, the crown prince’s eyes turned to the knights of the apocalypse who failed to protect themselves.
The crown prince’s gaze was full of contempt.
“They are useless knights who couldn’t even protect the king. “How dare you put me to shame.”
“… … sorry.”
“Commit suicide.”
“My name.”
“W-what?”
As soon as the prince finished speaking, the knights of the apocalypse stabbed each other in the heart.
He thrust his sword in without a moment of hesitation, and even twisted it out so that he could be killed instantly.
Slurp.
With blood pouring out, they both fell face to face.
It happened in the blink of an eye
all.
Everyone in Altain Stadium held their breath at this horrific sight.
Surprisingly, the same goes for Sir Bolvar and Mr. Narmer, who were fighting against the Knights of the Apocalypse.
“ha•… ”
Sir Bolvar looked at the body with sad eyes and briefly expressed condolences to the knights.
However, the crown prince opened his mouth with a disdainful gaze, as if his anger was not relieved.
“Once upon a time, the emperor was served at a distance.
The Knights of the Apocalypse have become old waste. “I can’t believe I can’t use my own money to treat strangers from a small country.”
I had a fever for a moment.
It was clearly an enemy.
I screamed involuntarily at the prince’s horrifying and horrifying attitude of thinking of people as ‘expendables’.
“Lord Bolvar and Mr. Narmer are both 8 stars. They… … ! “I did my best to protect the crown prince while fighting against the same 8-star experts!”
“best? “You say all kinds of emotional things.”
However, the crown prince’s attitude was completely difficult for me to understand.
“I am the crown prince who will lead the empire in the future. He was only punished by death for the crime of putting the crown prince’s life in danger and putting him in shame. Rather, his two lives are a cheap price. “Isn’t that right?”
“It’s actually a good thing. Because we were able to filter out knights with dull blades in advance. If you are the knight who protects me, you will fight against the wanderers from small countries alone.
“You should be able to overcome it.”
The crown prince stood up with a dull expression on his face, as if he had had all the fun.
Then, I looked at the flame of fire in my palm and muttered.
“I will keep my promise. Your sister’s sou de grand prix. Enjoy it to your heart’s content. “I’ll also look forward to seeing how high a small girl knight from a small country can rise.”
After saying those words, the crown prince turned his back.
However, he could not walk for long.
Before we knew it, a company of armed knights had arrived on the other side of Altain Stadium.
It was because of an old man looking at himself with a frowning face among dozens of knights with a banner that read “Holy War.”
“… … father.”
ridge! ridge! ridge!
The crown prince clearly muttered that,
Soon the sound of angry horns and drums rang out.
“Your Majesty the Emperor!”
This cry was heard from somewhere.
Quickly!
All of the Knights Templar knelt down and showed respect.
The same goes for the general audience sitting at Altain Stadium.
The emperor appeared out of nowhere and without knowing what was going on, he hit his head on the floor.
That too for a while.
“Everybody get out, except Ardel!”
At the order for everyone to leave, the audience that had been filling the stadium quickly began to leave the stadium.
Suddenly, inside the stadium, the Emperor and the Knights Templar.
Only the crown prince and we were left.
The emperor… … .
Why did the emperor of the empire come here?
I am Titan, the current emperor of the empire.

I looked straight at Reinark.
I had already heard rumors that he was a man called the Iron-Blooded Lord who led the Imperial Federation with a fiery spirit.
however… … .
“… … Schomertan.”
“See you father.”
… … That person?
The emperor, who was called the Iron-Blooded Lord, looked very sick.
His complexion was pale, as if he had been suffering from a chronic illness for a long time, and he would not stop coughing.
It’s a rumor I haven’t heard of.
The Empire is currently a ‘conflict’ nation at war with the ‘anti-Perna’ nation.
That said, it was clear that efforts were made to hide the rumor that the emperor was bedridden.
That such an emperor came to Altain in person.
Clearly, it meant that it was an unusual matter.
What is it?
It didn’t feel good.
At the end of my gaze, ‘familiar magic’
One person came in.
I was able to predict what would happen in the future.
said the emperor.
“What are you doing?”
“How did you come here… …
“The Sword Grand Prix is a prestigious tournament in the empire that has been going on for a long time. “This is not a playground where you can be dictated by your personal feelings!”
“How can a guy called the crown prince act so lightly?”
The emperor’s lion’s hooves took over the entire stadium.
He was clearly sickly, but at this moment, what was called ‘iron blood’ existed in his eyes.
However, the crown prince also did not have an easy personality.
“It’s already over. “Are you disparaging me like this in front of your subordinates for something that has already been done?”
“joy! “Seeing how you feel like you’re being ignored, it seems like you’re embarrassed.”
“yes. It’s a shame. I am already over 30. Little things like this
“I’m past the age of being scolded by my father for having one.”
“Do you really think it’s trivial?”
“It’s trivial.”
“The crown prince was humiliated in front of the people of the empire?”
The emperor said as if there was no need to say anything else.
“The water has already spilled over, and it can never be picked up again. “But you can punish the guy who spilled the bottle.”
“… … “What do you mean by that?”
The emperor’s eyes turned to me.
His gaze resembled that of the crown prince.
A look that looks at people like annoying bugs.
“I heard everything from Theron. They say he is a wizard who will throw the empire into chaos in the future. He couldn’t let a guy like that live. “I will kill him right here and cut him off.”
Sreung! Sreung! Sreung!
At the end of the emperor’s words, all the Knights of the Temple drew their swords at once.
The number was close to one hundred.
All of them were knights of 7 stars or higher, and there were several 8 stars among them.
The best of the best.
Truly, this is the majesty of the empire.
If you come face to face with a knight group like that, can you be sure of victory?
I don’t know.
“I will definitely take the twenty guys with me.”
However, Sir Bolvar was the first to raise his spear without any hesitation.
Mr. Narmer also prepared for death.
He clenched his fist.
“It was an honor, Master.”
“… … “Aren’t you giving up too quickly?”
I was planning to open the ‘dimensional gate’ and summon the ogres of Sky Mountain.
Protecting my people is more important than protecting the secret of my power.
However, he remained cautious until the end.
If anyone makes a move, in a situation where a battle is imminent… … .
Because a very unexpected person opened his mouth.
“How dare you draw your sword in front of someone?”
Crown Prince, Schomertan Reinach.
He spoke in a low voice.
“Put your sword away.”
“hurry!”
Between the orders of the Emperor and the Crown Prince.
Some of the knights’ gazes wavered as if they were confused.
The crown prince glared at the emperor and spoke as if he had made a promise.
“I don’t like it.”
“what?”
“Even if you kill me, I will kill you. “This is not a guy your father would mess with.”
“This guy!”
The sick emperor tried to spit out his angry lion’s hoo again, but at that moment, blood poured out from the corner of his mouth.
It’s because it’s unreasonable.
Then, the crown prince continued.
“I have no intention of changing my mind. Ruin Ardel will finish this Sword Grand Prix safely. “Because I, the crown prince of the empire, promised.”
“This guy… … !”
“Do you really plan to continue to embarrass me!”
The crown prince’s eyes turned cold.
“I told you. Even if you kill me, I will kill you. “I, too, am the guy who wants to kill him like crazy.”
It was the force of an absolute being that could never be resisted.
Even if he is an emperor.
The man worthy of the title ‘Iron-Blooded’ was not an emperor but a crown prince.
Sword and magic.
How can a man who has not learned anything about martial arts exude such energy?
The crown prince’s cold gaze was directed at ‘Flame King Theron’, who was standing guard by the emperor’s side.
“As expected, it was something planned by my godfather.
Okay. You even dragged in my father, who was supposed to be resting in his hospital bed… … . Let me ask you one thing. “Isn’t this the ‘disloyalty’ to the emperor that you were talking about?”
“You can’t answer. If you have anything you would like to say in the future, please tell me directly. Of course, I don’t know if I will listen to that.”
The crown prince’s gaze finally landed on me.
Although those gazes contained complex emotions close to ‘love and hate’.
“Ruin Ardel.”
“… “yes?”
That soon turned into ‘hatred’.
However, he completely hid his hatred and spoke in a grave voice.
“See you again.”
I could feel it instinctively.
There is no need to let down your guard anymore.
Next, it may be really dangerous.
With those words, the crown prince stepped forward.
I walked.
“Get out of the way. “I will go to my father.”
All the knights of the Holy War bowed their heads to the crown prince, and I looked at this sight.
Indeed, it was to the point of confusion as to who the emperor of the empire was.
Is it like this?
Schomertan Reinak.
A crown prince who can yell at the emperor.
None of the subjects could even open their mouths to the crown prince.
Is it because the emperor is sick, or is it because he is the only bloodline that will continue the imperial family in the future?
Both may be correct, but I didn’t think it was the decisive reason.
The really decisive reason.
“Bring your father. “I’m going back to Leverdine.”
This is because he is ‘Shomertan’ Reinak.
