Episode 227
After leaving the palace, Choi Hyeon-seok wandered the streets without a destination.
It was to organize my thoughts while walking.
Then, when I suddenly looked back, I had arrived at a deserted alley, and Rachel appeared as if she had been waiting for me.
“Hero!”
Rachel put her hands on her hips and cried out.
“Why are you angry again?”
“Rachel is disappointed! I knew you were a pervert, but this is crossing the line!”
Choi Hyun-seok let out a deep sigh.
“Rachel. I knew you were stupid, but this is crossing the line. You’ve been with me all day and you can say something like that!”
There is a limit to stupidity.
How can you believe that ridiculous testimony when you’ve been with him 24 hours a day?
“Do I look like someone who would do something like that in the first place!? Do I look like someone who would do something so perverted?!”
“yes!”
Rachel nodded with a determined expression.
Choi Hyun-seok quickly reached out and grabbed Rachel by the collar.
“Eww! The pervert caught the fairy!”
“This rat-a-bitch!”
“People in the neighborhood! It’s a thug! A thug!”
How much did he shake Rachel by the collar?
Choi Hyun-seok sat down on the wooden bench with a tired expression.
“Ugh, what would I talk to you about?” “Ugh… the world is spinning…”
Rachel was also completely exhausted and lay down on the bench.
“You are a warrior…”
“why.”
“What are you going to do now?”
“What should I do?”
“You were kicked out of the palace. Isn’t that a big deal?” “No big deal. It’s better this way.”
Choi Hyun-seok continued speaking calmly.
“If they’re going to resort to such dirty tricks to get me out, then something is bound to happen at that party.”
I had my doubts before, but now I am 100% sure.
The day the party takes place.
Whether it’s Ien or Gatren, they’re planning to cause something of an incident at the palace.
“That’s why I left on purpose, even more angry. I had to show them that I had definitely left the palace.”
“Was it like that?”
“Of course. They’ll be more alert if they know I’m still here.”
Leaving the palace without explaining anything.
Even worse, there was a calculation behind his violent behavior, such as spitting in front of the palace.
Rachel’s eyes lit up as if she had seen it again.
“I’m sorry. I just thought you were angry because I hit the nail on the head.”
“I’m really dying.”
“Just kidding. Just kidding. Hehe.”
Rachel smiled and rolled around on the bench as she ran away.
Choi Hyun-seok let out a deep sigh and got up from the bench.
“Where are you going?”
“First, I need to get out of the capital completely. There will probably be surveillance. At the very least, they’ll make sure I leave the capital, Chersilton.”
To put them at ease, I needed to show them that I had completely left the city.
“I’ll have to contact you as soon as I leave the capital.” “Are you trying to contact the Dracaen Empire?”
Drassen has already created a fake identity for Choi Hyun-seok.
If you ask for help, they will solve your problem in a similar way this time.
But Choi Hyun-seok shook his head.
“No. I won’t contact the Dracaen Empire.”
“why?”
“Things could go wrong. It’s better for Drasen not to know about this.”
The nobles of the Chersi Kingdom are involved in this incident.
And that nobleman
Half of them were aligned with the Dracaen Empire.
“The nobles who are supporting Dracen are suffering. Will they just sit back and watch? They will definitely make different moves. If that happens, the situation is likely to get complicated.”
We cannot ignore the possibility that things could go in the wrong direction.
“We have to handle this quietly without Dracaen finding out.” “Then who should I contact?”
“Solid support.”
Choi Hyun-seok’s supporters are not only the Dracaen Empire.
Rather, there is a support group that is much more reliable and trustworthy than Dracaen.
He took out a communication device from his inventory and started contacting someone.
***
Same time.
Ian Nel Chersi was talking to his aides in his office.
“So that’s what happened in the end.”

There was a commotion in the palace since morning, and it turns out that Dugal Polkill has left.
“There was a terrible sexual scandal. They even touched the first-ranking priest of the Deusis Church.” “Hahaha! That’s funny.”
Ian laughed with tears in his eyes as if it was really funny.
The adjutant spoke with a rather serious expression.
“It’s not something to laugh about. The princess could end up in trouble…” “No. This is clearly someone’s scheme.”
“yes…?”
“We haven’t known each other for very long, but Dugal doesn’t seem like the type of person who would do something like that.”
Ian thought of Dugal Polkill.
A man who was staring at himself with a blank stare.
To put it bluntly, he was a person whose expression revealed everything, like an idiot.
A person who can’t speak properly because he’s nervous harasses a woman in the palace?
It was impossible.
“It must be a conspiracy. It’s obvious who did it.”
His younger brother Kian del Chersi.
It was clear what he did.
It was almost 99 percent certain that even the priests of the Deusis cult had been mobilized.
Because Kian had a close relationship with Gatren.
Mobilizing priests wouldn’t have been that difficult.
“Anyway, I feel sorry for Master Dugal, but it’s a good thing for us.”
Ian smiled faintly.
From her perspective, this incident was a loss.
No, rather, it is a welcome situation.
Anyway, Dugal Polkill is an unstable variable.
It is a variable with enough power to twist all plans.
It wasn’t a good situation for such a person to remain in the palace.
But it was definitely a blessing in disguise since Kian kicked him out on his own.
“The question is why did Kian go to such lengths to send Dugal away…”
However, one question remains.
Why did Kian chase away Dugal Polkill by framing him?
Kian and Dugal Polkill don’t have much in common.
We are not in a relationship where there could be any resentment.
“Did he perhaps sense the plan?” “That’s impossible. I was very careful with my movements… Even if he sensed it, there is no causal relationship between sending Dugal away and that.”
I thought about it for a while, but no answer came to mind.
Ian sighed and got up from his seat.
“Anyway, the operation will proceed as planned.”
I have no intention of backing down just because I feel a little uneasy.
She will carry out the operation she has prepared as planned.
“Now, with the eyes of the continent upon us, is the chance to shake off the clutches of the two empires. This is a golden opportunity that will never come again.”
The King said,
To make the Kingdom of Chersi a peaceful and neutral country.
The ideal is good, but it is not realistic.
Cherish can never stand alone.
In the current situation where the male and female of the empire have deeply penetrated.
“I will make this country truly independent.”
There was a firm determination in Ian’s eyes.
***
“Hahaha! As expected, it’s Lord Deloshi.” “Lady Dorn. How come your skin keeps getting prettier?”
Time passed and it was already the day of the party.
The palace banquet hall was filled with nobles.
It was a large-scale banquet with over 200 people in attendance.
All the nobles with some degree of influence in the Kingdom of Chersi were gathered together.
Ien is a high-ranking royal family
I was looking down at the banquet hall from my seat.
“your majesty.”
She called out to the King who was standing next to her.
His gaze was still looking down at the banquet hall.
“What’s going on?”
“How many of them have ties to the Empire?”
The king’s expression hardened subtly at the sudden question.
“Why do you ask that?” “I’m just curious.”
“Today is a happy day. Let’s talk about this another time.”
King Molin tried to avoid conversation.
But Ian ignored the doctor and continued speaking.
“At least half.”
“…”
“If you are the lord of a large territory, you must have connections to the empire.”
“Stop it.”
“Even if Kian or Logan becomes the next king, the situation will not change. No, the Empire’s hand will inevitably reach deeper.”
“Ien, stop!”
The king’s voice grew louder as he could no longer bear it.
“…”
Silence falls over the party venue.
Everyone was looking at the king and Ien.
Ian stood up from his seat calmly.
“I had to make a decision. If things continued this way, Chersi’s future was clear as day.”
That’s when the commotion started.
The door to the banquet hall opened and armed royal knights rushed in.
The murmurs of the bewildered nobles grow louder.
Ian clapped his hands and gathered everyone’s attention.
“Gentlemen. I’m sorry, but I need your cooperation for a moment.” “Princess. What is this?” “Your Majesty! Speak! An armed knight in the banquet hall! This cannot be happening!”
The king said nothing.
He just looked at Ian with a complicated expression.
Eventually, several nobles stepped forward.
“Damn it! I have to get out of here!” “Get out of the way! The party’s over!”
The nobles tried to push the royal knights away, but they would not budge.
“It’s no use. You can’t leave here until daybreak.”
As Ien gave the signal, the knights captured the nobles one by one.
The nobles resisted, but it was futile.
Royal Knights are the most elite of the kingdom.
It was not something that could be done with the power of a noble who was accustomed to a comfortable life.
“I’m going to brainwash you from now on. I have to use strong suggestions, so there may be side effects, but I promise you that no one will lose their life.” “Brainwashing? What kind of brainwashing are you talking about?” “It’s simple. I’m just going to leave a strong suggestion that you will follow Ienel Chersi.”
Ian, who had no support base, had no choice but to do something like this in order to ascend to the throne.
Naturally, there was backlash from all over.
“Princess! You think you can do something like this and get away with it!” “The Gatren Empire won’t stay still!” “The Dracen Empire will too!” “It’s not too late! Unbind me and apologize immediately!”
Ian bit his lips tightly.
“Empire! Empire! That damn Empire!”
“…”
“You really only have the Empire in your heads! Don’t you know that your rotten thoughts are eating away at the Chersi Kingdom!?”
Ian shouts as if venting his anger.
The nobles kept their mouths shut.
A brief silence flows.
Ien gave orders to the royal knights.
“Bring Kian.”
At Ian’s command, the knights captured the second prince, Kian Nel Chersi.
Kian frowned and pushed the article away.
“Get your dirty hands off me. I will walk on my own feet.”
The knight bowed his head and guided Kian forward.
Soon, Ian looked at his younger brother standing in front of him with a sad expression on his face.
“I’m sorry, Kian. The brainwashing process won’t be that painful, so just bear with it for a little longer.”
Kian snorted.
“Ha, do you think this country can survive without the Empire?” “Why don’t you think it can?” “You’re just a dreamer, Sister. You don’t think about the disaster that terrible arrogance can bring.” “No matter what you say, my heart won’t change.” “Can you handle it? You’ll regret it?”
Ian turned around and muttered.
“If it’s regret, I’ve already had enough…”
She spoke to the royal wizard who was waiting.
“Let’s get started. We need to move quickly if we want to brainwash everyone before daybreak.”
“yes.”
The wizard held out his wand.
Magic gathered and a bright light emitted from the staff.
Just before the cane touches Kian’s head.
Crunch-!
The wizard’s arm was cut off by a sword flying from somewhere.
“Kwaaak!”
The wizard writhes in pain.
Blood spurts from the severed section of the arm.
Screams echoed from all directions and chaos ensued.
“What’s going on!?”
“The enemy!”
The door opened and masked men rushed in.
They quickly surrounded the royal knights and attacked them.
“Kwaaak!”
“These guys!”
Blood and screams fill the banquet hall.
A banquet hall in chaos.
At this time, everyone was shocked.
Only Kian smiled leisurely.
“I told you I would regret it.”
“how…!?”
Ian opened his eyes wide.
At this point, she couldn’t help but realize it.
‘The information has leaked…’
A stranger barged in as if he had been waiting.
It’s clear that they were already preparing.
Even though I was so careful to keep it a secret.
Eventually, the information leaked out.
“Ah, no…!”
Push-!
The battle was one-sided.
The overwhelming inferiority of the royal knights.
A mere thirty royal knights were not enough to stop the villains.
Their true identities are assassins secretly dispatched by the Gatren Empire.
The individual’s military power rivaled that of a royal knight.
However, there was no hope for the royal knights as they were outnumbered.
“Nobles of the Kingdom of Chersi
“Don’t worry, everyone. Everything has been resolved.”
Kian said, looking around.
In the meantime, all the royal knights were dead.
Only masked men surrounded the area.
The nobles were quick to praise Kian.
“As expected, it’s Prince Kian!” “You already knew about Princess Ien’s plan and dealt with it! Amazing!”
Kian nodded and picked up the bottle of wine.
He chugged the entire bottle of wine and said:
“Kuuuu! I was just doing what I had to do. As royalty, it’s my duty to protect the nobles, who are the pillars of the kingdom.”
The nobles’ praise grew louder at Kian’s words.
“How wise you are!” “Hahaha! The future of the Chersi Kingdom is bright. If Prince Kian becomes the king, Chersi will surely achieve unprecedented wealth and military power…”
At that time, a nobleman was showered with compliments.
Suddenly, Kian hit the nobleman’s head with a wine bottle.
Clang!
The bottle breaks and a sharp noise is heard.
The nobleman fell to the floor, his head soaked in something that was either blood or wine.
“…”
Kian laughed in the cold silence.
“It’s funny. What is he saying now, the guy who stupidly fell in line with the Dracaen Empire?”
He said, picking up another bottle of wine.
“Clean it up.”
The swords of the surrounding villains swung at the nobles.
