#Nice to meet you, Your Highness (1)
Who would benefit if the two princes and the three princesses became one?
The Grand Duke just sits still and sucks up the honey.
“I don’t have any wishes. Just stay here quietly. Just stay very quiet for a while.”
“As anyone may wish.”
“Why are you like this? You’re the one who started this. Even if you have to wear a white hat, the youngest one should wear it. How can you, the third oldest, intercept it? That’s cheating. It’s hurtful to be siblings.”
That’s not what I did! Sa Hae-ryung swallowed the words that were rising to his throat.
“Are you really going to block me like this?”
“Then why are you posting all these useless things? Did you think we’d just let it go?”
Useless? Yes, that’s right. Why on earth did Jang Seo do something like this?
If you had just come to me separately and asked for help, I would have foolishly helped you.
“So, don’t try too hard and just go inside. Sleep. Eat. I’ll just wait here quietly. My sister, go and rest. Don’t even think about going outside.”
Ha. What a pointless notification.
Sahae-ryeong stared straight at the smiling Infinity. Anyone who saw it would be speechless and dumbfounded. However, this was only on the surface.
[Hell. I’ll buy you some time, so you go outside and catch Jang-seo and Mao. Bring them both to me.]
It’s a warning. It’s not like the Four Sea Spirits will stay still even if you tell them to.
“Why isn’t my sister answering?”
As a moment passed, Muhansung suddenly blurted out, perhaps sensing something strange.
Notice. Then Sa Hae-ryeong nodded and turned around.
“Hehe, right. How nice to see you listening to your brother so well. I’ll keep doing that. If you act cute, maybe. When I become a cult leader later, I’ll give you a spot too. Should we form an alliance while we’re at it?”
An alliance is formed when there is something to be gained by both parties.
[now.]
The moment her eyes met with Narak’s, a short electric sound was heard and at the same time, KUANG! BANG! KUAAANG! Huge explosions occurred everywhere.
At the same time, the Four Sea Spirits and the Ten Moonlight Ghosts flew forward and lined up to block the path. And in the meantime, the abyss disappeared like dust.
“Huh! A tracheostomy?!”
Muhanseong, who covered his face with his sleeves, shouted in a voice filled with despair. Yes, that’s right. Jegalgwiryong is from Sahaeryong. Surely there isn’t a device like this in Samso Palace?
“Catch him!”
He confirmed that the abyss where infinity had disappeared had been filled with a loud shout. The Baekgodan, who had hesitated for a moment, then quickly drew their weapons and began to rush in. No, they were about to rush in.
Crunch!
Until the ground at the intersection was dug deep, just one step ahead of their feet. And it was five zhang (15m) long.
“If you take one more step, you will be the one stepping on the next step.”
The Baekgoedan raised their heads in surprise and looked ahead. Then, about ten steps ahead, there was a woman staring at them intently, shooting out a sword wind as if brushing them away.
The Ice Flower Sword Master, Sahae-ryeong. That’s her.
Truly overwhelming divine power.
Moreover, on her left and right, the ten silver-masked Moonlight Demons stood with the air of making a life-or-death decision.
It’s a dangerous adventure that even a mad gang of 100 monsters would be too eager to rush into.
“Hahahahahaha!”
Even the infinitely powerful Lee Gongja must have felt this because he suddenly burst into laughter and clapped his hands.
“My sister is really amazing. She won’t let it go. I didn’t know she would send her assistant away. This brother has taken a beating.”
It was an honest assessment.
If the Four Sea Spirits had shown any signs of movement, he or his assistant, Jeolmyeongsu Jo Yang-ak, would have stepped forward.
If that was the case, then anyone could not even dream of escaping. Sahae-ryeong knew that and that was why he moved the abyss.
“Okay. I’ll send you one. I can’t just do whatever my brother wants… … It’ll hurt my pride.”
Infinity smiled and raised his hand. Then Baekgoedan took a step back and put his weapon away.
The dispute ends here.
At this, Sa Hae-ryeong nodded briefly and instead of answering, he quickly grabbed his twin swords.
‘Jang I-seo… … The next drink you have to buy is going to be very expensive.’
She gritted her teeth and turned to head towards the Samso Palace.
* * *
Meanwhile, when Infinity was taking over the heavenly realm.
The pigeon carrying his message quickly returned to the palace.
“I have news that His Majesty the Duke has arrived at Samso Palace.”
And this was conveyed into the room through the ghostly voice of the demon lord.
Cheon Mu-gi, who was sitting at the table drawing a picture, drew a picture without hesitation. He then spoke in a low tone.
“The second one seems to be quite angry. Judging from the fact that he ran away right away. But there’s nothing I can do. If you happen to get your hands on a treasure by chance, it’s natural for anyone to be angry. Isn’t this an act of ignoring those who are trying hard?”
Are you talking to yourself?
Cheonmugi raised his head slightly and examined the door in front of him. Then he asked again.
“Isn’t that how it is for everyone?”
Then, slurp!
The sliding door opened wide and a previously hidden scene unfolded before my eyes. A long hallway with tables lined up in a row and people sitting across from each other at the tables.
It was difficult to even count how many people there were from the first row to the last. What was even more surprising was their identities.
From the major shareholders in charge of practical affairs to people from all walks of life.
People who could be called the pillars of the Demonic Cult all came running at his call.
“That’s right, Your Highness.”
“That is a valid point.”
And most of them agreed with the meaning of the Thousand Weapons.
The same goes for those who claimed to be neutral.
‘I have nothing to say when the Archduke holds the pretext and shakes it.’
If it was a matter of taking sides, it would have been better to at least look into it.
Since the Three Princesses were trying to use the Seven Princes’ belongings, there was no justification for anyone to come forward.
Moreover, who would revolt without any sense when even a scientist or engineer joins in?
This is a clear defeat for the three princesses.
“I’m glad everyone seems to understand what I’m saying. Well then, you can go back now.”
The people gathered swallowed their saliva at his cold greeting. Then they hurriedly got up from their seats, bowed their heads, and left.
“Now only the youngest remains.”
The plan of the three princesses failed. All that remained was the treatment of the seven princes.
Of course, it would be quite harsh.
At that very moment, Cheonmugi picked up his brush and was about to finish painting again.
“hmm?”
At the end of the table where everyone else had left, there was only one person.
I could still see people still sitting there, absorbed in their meals.
An extremely plain appearance.
Everyone who came today has a face that I vaguely remember. This is a face I am seeing for the first time.
Cheonmugi winks at the Ghost Demon Army, but he also looks completely clueless. The same goes for the Black Hwawi guards.
Everyone tilted their heads.
Surely he wouldn’t have come here to steal food.
No, more importantly, how did you get in here?
“Who are you?”
The ghost asks in a lifeless voice. The only thing that can be heard is the sound of chopsticks being used.
At this, the Ghost Demon Army nodded briefly to Cheon Mu-gi and stepped forward. Then, he naturally pulled out the sword of Heuk Hwa-wi, who was guarding in front of the Jangji Gate, and threw it away like an evil spirit.
Wheaaaaaaaaa!
A sword that shoots like a flash of lightning.
If there is no reason for coming here, you will die, and even if there is… … ? You will die.
Because I’ve already lost my chance to answer.
But.
“I haven’t finished eating yet. How rude.”
I clearly saw the ghost army and the heavenly weapons.
The face of a man who was smiling at us right before the sword was stuck in his temple.
And I’m talking about the sight of him leisurely tilting his head back and avoiding the attack, leaving only an inch of space between them.
grasp!
The flying sword gets stuck in the wall behind it and goes “Zeeeeing!” It leaves a strong aftertaste.
Then the man put down his chopsticks, got up from his seat, and slowly approached inside.
Ss …
At this, dozens of black guards instinctively blocked the road as if they were guarding the Archduke.
‘Isn’t he just a nobody?’
The Grand Duke chuckled, put down his brush again, and waved his hand outward.
Then, at the signal of the Ghost Army, the Black Flame opens the path to the left and right again.
A man who had already approached the front door.
He opened his mouth as he stood there.
“Nice to meet you, Your Highness.”
Stand firm and confident.
“This is Jang Il-seo, the assistant to the Seven Princes.”
“… … !”
Jang Yiseo. He appeared in person at Ilsogung Palace.
To meet the Grand Duke, Cheonmugi.
*
“The Seven Princes’ assistant… …?”
Instead of the silent Thousand Weapons, the Ghost Demon Army opened its mouth.
I can’t see his expression because it’s covered by the bandage, but his eyes are a mixture of disbelief and bewilderment.
And these emotions were also consistent with Cheonmugi’s expressionless face throughout.
‘The aide came to me at the moment when I had to decide on the youngest’s treatment?’
I laughed inside.
Because none of the dozens of developments he had predicted had this kind of situation play out.
That’s why the first emotion I felt toward Jang Il-seo was curiosity.
“Are you saying that the author of the assistant dared to sneak in here without permission?”
The Ghost Army’s pitchfork-like voice shot out fiercely.
“It’s a bit strange to say that I hid. I showed them this and they let me in right away.”
Jang Yiseo took out a nameplate from his bosom. It had a picture of a devil on one side and the character 三 (三) written on the back. It was a divine nameplate symbolizing a third-class devil.
The Ghost Demon Lord’s eyes widened when he saw this, and Heukhwawi was filled with embarrassment.
It was a day when about a hundred people gathered.
It is customary to pass without asking if you are of a high rank, such as a third-class noble.
one.
“Nonsense. The fact that someone who wasn’t even invited was shamelessly present was for the purpose of spying. Don’t go off topic.”
Jang Yi-seo’s eyes widened at the ghost horse’s warning.
That’s pretty good. When you threw your knife at him to kill him, I thought he was just some ignorant devil. He has brains, huh?
one.
“Spying? Why do you think so? Was this place so shameless that someone could spy on you today? Or is this just a defense from the person in charge to avoid a mistake?”
“Shut up! How dare you, a mere aide, treat me like that?”
“You’re my assistant. A third-class noble like me.”
“This guy… … .”
Kwaang! A huge amount of energy poured out from the ghost demon’s body along with a loud noise. Finally, he couldn’t hold it in anymore and exploded.
Jang Seo, who saw this, nodded as if he had expected it.
‘The assistant of the Ilgongja, the ghost demon. He’s smarter than I’ve heard, but he lacks patience. His martial arts skills… are by far the best among the assistants. He’s a difficult opponent in many ways.’
A quick analysis worthy of the best agent in the rock carving.
But the price paid for the elaborate schemes used to obtain it seems too horrendous.
The black magic had already blocked the retreat, and the energy emanating from the ghost demon’s body was enough to pierce through the ceiling.
A powerful realm that rivals that of an elder, for Jang-seo to handle.
Of course, there was a corner of belief.
“Hwansa.”
An entity that can instantly end the ghost army that was like an active volcano by just calling its name.
Grand Duke Cheonmugi slightly raising the corners of his lips.
That was it.
“The youngest sent me. But shouldn’t I listen to his story?”
