Episode 228
The nobles are dying.
Everyone supports the third prince, Logan.
To be exact, they were nobles who supported the Dracaen Empire.
Logan and the nobles tried to escape, but they could not escape the clutches of the trained assassins.
“Please! Please spare me! I will follow Kian! Please… . Keuk!”
Kian stomped on the head of the nobleman who was holding onto his trouser leg.
“Shut up! Don’t you have any pride as a noble!? A piece of shit like you doesn’t even deserve to breathe!”
Kian kicked the nobleman like crazy.
He had also trained since childhood, so he possessed physical strength comparable to that of a knight.
The nobleman, who had turned into a blood clot in an instant, trembled.
“Please, please… at least my life…” “You still haven’t come to your senses.”
Just as Kian was lifting his foot to crush the nobleman’s head.
“stop!”
Ian shouted.
It was the first time in her life that she had ever witnessed violence.
I was shedding tears at the terrible massacre.
“Kian… What are you doing!” “What are you doing? That’s not something a sister should say?” “I, I… I didn’t mean to do this… I didn’t mean to hurt anyone!”
It was true.
All she was trying to do was brainwash people by sending them suggestions.
It’s just a matter of erasing what happened today from my memory.
It may have had some mind-boggling side effects, but I never intended to take anyone’s life.
“Phew! Phew…!”
Kian burst out laughing.
“Hahahaha! What? You didn’t intend to hurt anyone? Oh my~ I was wrong. I thought you were pretty smart, but you’re a total idiot.”
He was shaking his head and laughing, but then suddenly became serious and shouted.
“Do you really think you can lead a country with such a weak attitude? Are you going to shake off the empire when you’re so weak? I guarantee you that even if you succeed in this and become the king, the future of the Chersi kingdom will be doomed!”
Ian didn’t say anything.
He just lowered his head and shed tears.
Meanwhile, Kian, who had calmed down, smiled again.
“Thank you anyway. Thanks to you, my sister, things have become easier.”
“What are you talking about…?”
“I’m going to be a hero today! Ian Nel Chersi, who plotted treason in order to seize the throne. I’m the hero who stopped you and saved the Chersi Kingdom!”
Kian glanced at the dying nobles around him and continued speaking.
“And at the same time, weeding out the useless ones. That’s a very good thing.” “You plan on selling the country… the Kingdom of Chersi to Gatren…?” “Is that wrong? You can enjoy everything under Gatren’s protection. Why would you insist on taking such a dangerous path?”
“that…!”
Kian tapped Ian on the shoulder.
“Let’s end our conversation here for today. I have no intention of killing my sister right now. Isn’t it the law that traitors to the kingdom are publicly executed?”
Kian passed by the frozen Ian.
Wherever he went, there was his father, Molin del Chersi.
“Kian…”
King Molin looked at his son with sad eyes.
“This is not right. Stop it now.”
He tried to convince his son, but it was no use.
“The same goes for Father. He’s just daydreaming like a retard, and that’s why our Chersi Kingdom is in such a state.”
Kian drew his sword.
“I’m sorry, but your father must die here today.”
Suddenly, Kian shouted in an exaggerated tone like an actor on a melodrama stage.
“King Mollin, who was killed by the traitor Ian! Alas, I, Kian del Chersi, tried to save my father, but I was unable to do so. Sob, sob…!”
His voice was full of sadness, but there was a bitter smile on his lips.
“You should leave at least one heartbreaking word so that people can empathize with you when you perform a tearful scene in front of the audience tomorrow.”
Kian’s eyes were filled with genuine madness.
Is it because I’m drunk?
Or maybe he was just drunk on blood and power.
Maybe he was hiding that madness from the beginning.
Or maybe the Holy Empire of Gatren made his son like this.
‘What’s the big deal now?’
King Molin closed his eyes silently.
Kim San Kian clicked his tongue.
“Tsk. This isn’t fun. Then let’s meet again in hell, Father.”
The sword is swung.
The king’s crown was about to split in two.
Suddenly a large man appeared and grabbed a sword.
Kian frowned.
“What are you?”
“You’re the one who drove me crazy! You little punk!”
At the same time as the shout.
A heavy fist hit Kian in the face.

Choi Hyun-seok thought.
A party held at the palace.
What should we do to resolve the incident that occurs there as amicably as possible?
The first thing to do was to obtain the King’s cooperation.
“I left the communication port for times like this.”
Just before leaving the palace after being accused of being a thief.
Choi Hyun-seok purchased a communication device from the warrior shop and secretly gave it to King Molin.
It was to have a private conversation with him after leaving the palace.
-Sir Paul Kill!
As soon as the communication port lit up, King Molin’s voice was heard.
It seemed as though he had been holding the communication port until contact was made.
-I’m truly sorry about what happened. Once the situation calms down, I’ll come see you again, Lord Polkill… .
For a while, there is talk of the King’s apology and a bright future ahead.
-So next time you come, let’s go to the bathhouse again to strengthen our friendship and build a future for the kingdom… .
The King’s story leads to the bathhouse again, and Choi Hyun-seok’s patience is about to run out.
The king, who had only just received the call and realized that he had spoken alone, said:
-Oh, I’m sorry. I was talking too much by myself.
“Haha… It’s okay.” – So, Sir Polkill! Why did you leave the communication port? It seems like you have something else to say.
Choi Hyun-seok took a deep breath and said.
“I have something to tell you.” – I am ready to listen.
As if his sincerity had been conveyed, the king also responded with a serious attitude.
Choi Hyun-seok explained the situation in a calm voice.
That Yennell Chersi is up to something.
And given the circumstances, it appears that Kian del Chersi and the Gatren Empire are also plotting something.
All of this was to happen at a party a few days later.
King Molin, who had heard the whole story, spoke in a gloomy voice.
-I can’t believe it.
“I just said what I heard and judged. Most of it is speculation, but I am 100 percent sure.” – But… my son… my daughter would do something like that…
A party attended by the country’s highest nobility.
Even though I didn’t know exactly what they were going to do there, I could easily guess that it wasn’t good.
There will probably be a lot of blood shed.
That is why the king could not accept Choi Hyeon-seok’s words.
His daughter, Ian, has a more beautiful personality than anyone else.
Her son Kian, who is a little immature but never loses his smile.
I couldn’t accept that two people who were still young and innocent could plot such a heinous plot.
“Then would you like to make a bet with me?”
Choi Hyun-seok had no choice but to take special measures.
“I promise. If I am wrong, I will surrender myself to the Chersi Kingdom without complaint.” – What if… Lord Polkill was right…
“Then I will do what I want. Of course, there will be a lot of bloodshed.”
Choi Hyun-seok thought.
What should I do to completely shake off Gatren’s clutches?
Ultimately, the aristocracy that is deeply rooted in this country.
We have no choice but to exclude them, who are no different from Gatren’s subordinates.
In that sense, the party that would be held a few days later was also a golden opportunity for Choi Hyun-seok to resolve this incident.
-I’ll accept it…
After making that pact with the king.
The day of the party.
Choi Hyun-seok and Sarah Dunphy had already infiltrated the banquet hall before the party even started.
As time passed, Ien captured the nobles with the royal knights.
A moment later, a battle breaks out between a masked villain and a royal knight.
Finally, the defeated royal knight.
And the death of the nobles.
After watching the whole process, it was only now, when the king was in danger, that he took action.
“That thing isn’t dead, is it…?”
Choi Hyun-seok looked at Kian, who had been blown away by his fist.
He was lying on the ground with his eyes rolled back, as if he had already lost consciousness.
Occasionally, it would flinch and tremble, as if it were still alive.
“Whoa, that was almost a disaster.”
I was so angry at Kian’s words and actions that I lost my temper a little.
Fortunately, the well-trained Kian survived without dying.
‘You can’t die yet.’
Kian must not die.
Because later on, he had to testify that he had carried out the work at the instigation of the Holy Empire’s Gatren.
“I won the bet.”
Choi Hyun-seok turned around and said.
King Molin was staring into space with unfocused, empty eyes.
“As promised. From now on, I will do what I have to do.”
Mollin, who doesn’t say anything.
Choi Hyun-seok also turned around as if there was no need to answer.
“Sister. Please.”
Sarah Dunphy appeared from behind as Choi Hyun-seok spoke.
“Don’t worry. No one will be able to escape this banquet hall.”
Choi Hyun-seok came here with Sarah Dunphy just in case.
Perhaps the Holy Empire could send an enemy that would be difficult to handle.
Even if that’s not the case, there shouldn’t be any witnesses left behind.
The only ones who survive in this place are King Molin and his daughter Ien.
And only Kian can testify about Gatren’s secret activities.
“Save Prince Kian.”
“Kill that bastard!”
Masked men rush in.
Choi Hyun-seok kicked the ground and ran towards them.
Wedge-!
Swords flying from three directions simultaneously.
They are used to chain attacks.
In the past, it would have been quite a difficult enemy, but not anymore.
Kyaang!
The enemy’s sword could not penetrate Choi Hyun-seok’s skin.
To be exact, it was blocked by the mana surrounding his body.
“This, this is…!”
“What a disappointment. They sent these guys.”
The bad guys are weak.
It was enough to solve the incident in the Chersi Kingdom, but it was not enough to deal with Choi Hyeon-seok, who had already become a legend.
Crunch! Crunch!
Every time the fist is swung, the bad guy falls down.
There was no need to speculate.
Choi Hyun-seok crushed his enemies with an overwhelming difference in specs.
He broke and tore everything he could get his hands on.
“Hey, what’s that guy!?”
“We have to run away! We have to get out!”
The surviving nobles noticed that something was strange.
These are all nobles who support Prince Kian and are lining up for Gatren.
I thought the situation would end safely under Gatren’s protection.
The situation was turned upside down in an instant due to the sudden appearance of Choi Hyun-seok.
“What are you doing!? Get out!” “I want to do that too, but I can’t go forward!”
They hurriedly ran to the entrance of the banquet hall, but it was already blocked by a barrier.
This place is completely sealed off from the outside world by a barrier created by Sarah Dunphy.
“It’s too late. Die gracefully.”
A low voice is heard from behind.
The nobles trembled.
“Uh, when…”
Before I knew it, all the hundreds of villains had collapsed.
Choi Hyun-seok looked at the nobles with blood all over his face.
“There is no personal ill will.”
He takes a step closer.
“I just do what I have to do to achieve my goals. Just like you all have done.”
Choi Hyun-seok is getting closer and closer.
The nobles were gradually pushed into a corner.
“Stop now! I don’t know who you are, but we’re up against the Holy Empire! If you keep doing this, you won’t be safe either…”
A fist struck the head of the shouting noble like a bolt of lightning.
Boom!
The nobleman’s head just flies off.
The speed was so fast that the body stood still as if nothing had happened.
dump-
Soon, the nobleman collapses, with only his torso remaining.
People are astonished.
Some people even vomited along with nausea.
Crunch! Crunch!
Choi Hyun-seok mechanically dealt with the remaining nobles.
There is no hesitation in his movements.
Death has become so familiar that we have become accustomed to it.
‘Yeah. I’ve become so used to it.’
Despite the bitterness that suddenly surged up, Choi Hyun-seok just smiled.
***
Ian Nel Chersi stared into space with unfocused eyes.
“Save me! Please! I can give you as much money as you want… . Ugh!”
In the banquet hall, nobles were still dying.
There are about ten people left.
After a while, they too will all die.
The only ones who survived the banquet hall were himself and his father, King Mollin.
‘How did it end up like this…’
Ian lowered his head.
A pool of blood on the floor.
His own clothes were also soaked with red blood.
I have never seen so much blood in my life.
The pungent smell made my head spin.
“This isn’t what I wanted…”
He himself did not want this kind of slaughter.
I tried to avoid using violent methods as much as possible.
They tried to resolve it peacefully.
“Everything was done for the kingdom… for Chersi… but why…”
Why did the royal knight who shared his same ideals have to die?
How could so many nobles have died?
Ian Nel Chersi couldn’t figure out where things went wrong.
Hit- hit-
Just then, footsteps were heard from behind.
The footsteps that approached, nonchalantly shining through the puddle of blood, stopped right next to Ian.
It was Sarah Dunphy.
“Are you sad? Or do you regret it?”
Ian didn’t answer or look back.
He just stared at the floor with unfocused eyes.
“Your brother. His name was probably Kian. He was a miserable writer, but what he said was right.”
Kian del Chersi lies unconscious on one side of the banquet hall.
Sarah Dunphy glanced at him and said,
“A king must be strong. No matter what the circumstances.”
“…”
“If you cannot be respected for your authority as a king, then reign. Rule. Make people tremble in fear. If you cannot be a good king, then become a tyrant. Only then can a king exist as a king.”
Ian raised his head.
Sarah Dunphy said, looking her in the eye.
“Remember, if a king cannot be a king, it is worse than not having one.”
Before we knew it, Choi Hyeon-seok had taken care of the last noble.
Having achieved their goal, Choi Hyun-seok and Sarah Dunphy left the banquet hall like the wind.
