The Return of the Destruction Level Death Knight Episode 87
Episode 87: Alexander Apple (1)
After that day, Oliver Apple’s behavior changed significantly.
“Hey, time to wake up… … .”
“Lord Damian! good morning!”
Damien, who came to wake up Oliver Apple early in the morning, was confused when he saw that Oliver Apple had already woken up and finished washing his face.
“Didn’t Sir Damian always ask you to do this? “You should always start your day early!”
Damian couldn’t help but be even more confused by those words.
Originally, Oliver Apple had a lazy habit of getting out of bed only after noon.
No matter how much Damian was beaten, it didn’t get better, but things suddenly changed.
“Sir, you are great. “You have finally realized the importance of a regular life.”
At those words, Oliver Apple’s mouth opened wide.
Even after that, Oliver Apple’s bizarre behavior continued.
“Sir, continuing from yesterday, today we will study the history of the empire… … .”
“I already finished it!”
“Already?”
“Isn’t the empire something that cannot be left out when discussing the history of the continent? “I thought Sir Damian would definitely do it, so I finished it in advance.”
Damian looked at Oliver Apple with his eyebrows narrowed.
Oliver Apple was a brilliant man, but he was extremely lazy.
A person who barely started studying after being beaten with a stick for about an hour ended up studying voluntarily?
“uh… … Thank you for your hard work. “As expected of you.”
Oliver Apple’s face brightened at Damien’s praise.
At this point, Damien was able to understand what Oliver Apple wanted.
compliment.
Oliver Apple was improving his own problems in order to receive praise.
‘Are you that happy to be recognized?’
Damian sympathized with Oliver Apple’s way of thinking to some extent. He, too, was once a bastard, so he had no choice but to know better.
‘I was lonely because I wasn’t recognized by anyone until now.’
To be honest, Oliver Apple brought it all on himself.
Oliver Apple has the blessed status of crown prince. The king was also ready to do anything for his son.
The person who threw away the good conditions and became isolated by acting like a fool was none other than Oliver Apple.
‘So did I.’
Damian in the past was no different. He only blamed his family without thinking about his own actions.
In reality, how much you are loved by your family. Without even realizing how much of a nuisance she was causing to her family.
In any case, the change in Oliver Apple was welcome.
Isn’t the reason Damian continues to stay in the royal castle to make Oliver Apple a proper king?
“Sir, you have perfectly mastered the etiquette you learned yesterday! “You are indeed a model of royalty.”
“Sir, you have already mastered the swordsmanship I told you about. “Now I see that you are very talented in using your body.”
From then on, Damien praised the prince whenever he got the chance. It was a bonus that Oliver Apple’s problems were fixed every time he received praise.
“Wow, the crown prince voluntarily studied…” … ?”
Even the King was surprised by Oliver Apple’s changes.
“Well, Sir Damian! How did this happen? Wow, the crown prince… … Oliver… … !”
“Calm down. “Everything you see before your eyes is real.”
“Huh, huh!”
The King, who saw Oliver Apple’s change with his own eyes, rubbed his eyes several times. Then he held Damian Haxen’s hands and thanked him again and again.
“Sir Damian is truly the person of my life!”
“I didn’t do anything. “It was possible thanks to everyone’s hard work.”
“Hahaha! How humble! “Oliver, come here too!”
Oliver Apple came forward at the king’s call. The King embraced Oliver Apple in his arms.
“Finally, you are on the right path! Awesome! Obstacle! “As expected, he is my son!”
Surprise spread across Oliver Apple’s face.
He seemed surprised because this was probably his first time receiving praise from the king.
Looking at the two father and son, Damian also felt happy for the first time in a while.
‘Now, if I just resolve the treason, I can go back.’
Oliver Apple’s behavior has changed a lot. The fault between father and son was also showing signs of collapsing.
Now all we have to do is prevent treason and stabilize the country.
But did you say that things in this world do not go as you wish?
Soon a new incident occurred.
* * *
That day, the royal servants were very busy.
Damian wondered about that and wandered around the castle looking for Oliver Apple.
Then, I was able to find Oliver Apple hiding in a corner of the garden.
“Sir, what are you doing here?”
Oliver Apple was startled by Damian’s voice and turned to Damian.
“Sir Damian… … !”
“Did I say that I could run away if I didn’t want to study? “Did you say no?”
“Well, that’s not it! “If I was studying, I was doing it here!”
Oliver Apple shouted, shaking the book in his hand.

“Then why were you hiding in a corner like this?”
“I wasn’t hiding… … .”
Oliver Apple sighed and changed his words.
“… … Yes, that’s right. “I was hiding.”
“Why on earth?”
“… … “Today is the day of his return.”
Him?
That was when Damian had a question. A bureaucrat’s voice was heard from behind.
“Oliver! You are here! His Excellency Alexander will soon arrive at the royal castle! “Let’s go!”
Oliver Apple’s eyes shook greatly at the official’s words. Oliver Apple sighed and said.
“… … okay. “I’ll be there soon.”
As soon as he heard the answer, the official left.
“Who is His Excellency Alexander?”
“… … This is my uncle. “You are the king.”
Emperor Wang.
In other words, it meant that he was the king’s younger brother.
“Are you avoiding your uncle?”
“He’s an awkward person in many ways… … .”
Oliver Apple responded to Damien’s question with a wry smile.
“Sir Damian, I’ll be somewhere else for a while, so don’t tell the others…” … .”
Damian frowned at those words.
I don’t know the details of why Oliver Apple avoids his uncle.
But would you avoid a situation where you have to take care of an adult in the house? That was behavior unbecoming of a crown prince.
For Damian, who had to raise Oliver Apple to become a great crown prince, it was an absurd statement.
“Let’s stop talking nonsense and go see your uncle.”
Oliver Apple’s shoulders slumped at Damian’s firm answer.
* * *
Damian took Oliver Apple with him and headed to the castle gate. Many other nobles were already gathered at the castle gate.
“Keueuung.”
Even though he came this far, Oliver Apple’s expression still remained the same. But he couldn’t say that he wanted to go back because of Damian.
“Your Excellency Alexander is coming back sooner than expected.”
“It looks like you eliminated all the bandits in the meantime.”
“You are truly amazing. “It took the local lords several months to do this.”
Damian listened to the nobles. Thanks to that, I was able to get a rough idea of the person named Alexander.
“His Excellency Alexander is coming in!”
A group of knights began to enter the gate, accompanied by someone and shouting.
There was a strong smell of sweat and dirt. Have you been to actual combat until recently? Everyone’s armor was dented and stained with dirt.
It didn’t look that good. But no one frowned.
‘You seem very experienced.’
Damian looked at the knights and thought. Knights with a lot of experience were able to demonstrate their skills beyond the realm of skill.
‘huh?’
However, among the knights, there was a person who gave off a strange atmosphere.
Damian’s eyes turned to the leading knight. The man, who appeared to be middle-aged, had an unusual energy.
‘High class? No, there are many things that are lacking to say that… … .’
The middle-aged knight also looked at Damian. No, to be exact, he was looking right next to Damian.
The middle-aged knight pulled the reins. It stopped in front of Damian.
“Who is this? “Isn’t he our nephew?”
The middle-aged knight spoke to Oliver Apple. Oliver Apple said with a forced smile.
“Soo, uncle… … hello… … .”
Alexander Apple, a middle-aged knight, smiled at Oliver Apple’s greeting.
“It’s always me. And my nephew… … Well, there’s no need to say it. “It will always be in the royal castle.”
The knights burst into loud laughter at Alexander Apple’s words. Even among the officials, there were people who laughed.
“Didn’t I tell you? I said at your age you should go outside. “Don’t you know that it’s worth going through hardships when you’re young?”
“Well, I’ve heard of it… … .”
“A person who knows that would waste his time so pitifully? “Be ashamed in the eyes of your subjects.”
“S-sorry… … .”
Oliver Apple was transfixed by Alexander Apple’s every word.
Even though he was a third party, Damian couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.
No matter how much he is the adult of the family, how can he criticize his nephew, especially the crown prince, in front of so many people?
“But the young man next to me… … .”
Alexander Apple’s eyes turned to Damien. Soon both eyes widened slightly.
“You are Damian Haxen. yes?”
“Yes, Your Excellency. “I’m honored that you recognized me.”
Damian answered briefly. Alexander Apple looked at Damian with even more interest.
“It wasn’t enough that you reached middle class at a young age, so you helped the church subdue a dangerous warlock, right? I thought the rumors were exaggerated… … Looking at it like this, it all seems to be true.”
“That’s too much praise.”
“But when I asked about it, they said I was still alone. Is this true?”
“That’s right.”
Alexander Apple clicked his tongue at Damian’s answer.
“That’s foolish. Very foolish. Actually, all young people that age are like that. “You’re overconfident in your own abilities.”
Damian felt uncomfortable at those words. He didn’t show it because it was his seat.
“Sir Damian, as a senior in your life, I will give you some advice. Find your lord as soon as possible and entrust him to him. “The more capable a knight is, the sooner he must find a home.”
Alexander Apple snapped his fingers as if something suddenly occurred to him.
“Sir Dumbyeol, aren’t there any seats left in our White Spear Knights?”
“Yes, Your Excellency.”
“Sir Damian, please join our White Spear Knights. There is no need to be thankful. “I am also happy to accept a talented person like you.”
Damian couldn’t help but laugh at those words.
Make your own decisions, make your own judgments.
Alexander Apple was the type of person Damian Haxen hated the most.
“Your Excellency, I’m sorry, but I still have no desire to belong anywhere.”
“This is why young people are the problem. Didn’t I tell you? Don’t overestimate your abilities. Since ancient times, knights serve their lords… … .”
“I know my abilities very well.”
Irritability and discomfort have reached unbearable levels.
Damian said after skimming through the Alexander Apple and the articles behind it.
“It’s not a very attractive place.”
At that moment, there was silence for a moment. Soon the knights burst into anger.
“Where is this brat talking nonsense?”
“Take out your sword right now! “I’ll fix your messy hair!”
At that time, Alexander Apple raised his hand and the knights fell silent.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen such a bold young man.”
Unlike the knights, Alexander Apple did not look angry. Rather, it seemed peaceful.
But Damian could see. The anger burning deep in Alexander Apple’s eyes.
“If that is your will, there is nothing we can do.”
Alexander Apple turned around without hesitation. Knights followed Alexander Apple.
“Well, Sir Damian! “How can you say that?”
As soon as Alexander Apple left, Oliver Apple grabbed Damian and shouted:
“Well, for humiliating my uncle in front of so many people… … !”
“You seemed fine.”
I know it’s not true, but Damian responded naturally.
“Anyway, His Excellency Alexander seems to be very popular.”
Considering the reactions of the officials when he entered the royal castle, he was not usually popular.
“Uncle, whenever a problem arises in the kingdom, you take the initiative and step forward. That’s why there are so many people following you.”
As he said that, Oliver Apple cast an envious look at Alexander Apple, who was walking away.
“Furthermore, there are many knights who have shown talent in swordsmanship since they were young and follow their uncle. “To the point of creating a separate knighthood.”
“That’s amazing.”
“You know what? Sir Liam Bluegreen is also your uncle’s priest. “The Marquis of Bluegreen is where my uncle learned swordsmanship.”
This was another unexpected human relationship.
“Lowering!”
At that time, a bureaucrat ran towards Oliver Apple.
“In two hours, His Excellency Alexander will have an audience with His Majesty the King. “Your Majesty will also have to attend, so it would be a good idea to prepare in advance.”
At those words, Oliver Apple’s expression hardened once again.
“All right. “I will bring you to attend.”
Damian said to the official. Oliver Apple looked very betrayed at those words.
“Well, Sir Damian… … ? I don’t want to attend if possible… … .”
“Sir, you shouldn’t be so stubborn.”
Damian said firmly. Oliver Apple looked sullen.
‘Something doesn’t feel right.’
The reason Damian came here was to prevent an impending treason.
Due to a treason that occurred in a previous life, the royal castle is attacked, and the king dies.
And the Apple kingdom is greatly shaken by Oliver Apple, who hastily ascends to the throne.
Damian’s knowledge was exactly this much. Who specifically attacked it? I don’t know what happened. Because he was covered up by the Apple royal family.
‘It is an incident that the royal family that suffered damage should rather cover up… … .’
Damian looked in the direction where Alexander Apple had disappeared.
