Episode 156 49. Is this a mess too? (2)

3.

The fourth prince of the Pazar Sultanate, Samir bin Sultan Qazir Pazar.

Prince Samir looked out the window and let out a sigh of relief.

“Not good.”

It’s already been two months since my brother collapsed.

Even the so-called sorcerers and the renowned doctors.

No one could cure my brother’s illness.

He recalled the conversation he had just had with the saintess of the Holy Kingdom.

『We will do our best, but if the dark magic has corrupted even your soul… … . We do not think we can give you a definitive answer.』

A saintess of the Holy Kingdom who was invited with the intention of grabbing at straws.

The process of bringing the saint was not smooth.

I had to endure the fierce criticism of my second and third older brothers.

“How could you not know how much your brother took care of you?”

After the first brother collapsed, the second and third brothers showed their ambitions as if they had been waiting for it.

It is possible that the two were involved in the first brother’s collapse.

The same goes for the returning situation.

Because those two were the ones who staunchly opposed inviting the saintess of the Holy Kingdom.

There was a justification.

Like the Orias Empire, the Holy Kingdom was a long-time enemy of the Sultanate.

The Holy Kingdom, which declared the Pazar Sultanate to be pagan because of its superstitions.

Is it possible to be friends with fanatics?

The only fortunate thing was that Saint Seria of the Holy Kingdom accepted his invitation.

Prince Samir was put under enormous political pressure because of this, but he didn’t really care.

“You just have to wake up, hyung.”

The most important thing to him was the safety of his eldest brother, the crown prince.

“Samir, always keep your shoulders straight. You are my brother. No one can ignore you. I will always be on your side, so just follow your dreams. Got it?”

“……older brother.”

He is the eldest brother who supported me till the end, no matter what the situation.

A precious person who always supported me from behind despite being half-brothers.

I would have done anything to save my brother.

If a situation arose where he had to reach out to the Empire, his long-time enemy, he would gladly do so.

‘They say there are great scholars in the Imperial Academy. Wouldn’t they be able to make a good move?’

Samir, who had come to that conclusion, spoke in a very serious voice.

“Is there anyone outside?”

It seemed like we needed to find someone who could contact the Empire.

It’s okay to be branded a traitor.

If I could just save my brother, then I was fine with it.

“Is anyone there?”

No one came in even after calling for a long time.

At that moment, Samir sensed something ominous.

Originally, his attendants had to be on standby in front of the door at all times.

But there was no sound beyond the door.

‘……no way.’

They wouldn’t have left so easily.

Samir took a small revolver from the desk.

A gold revolver loaded with specially made bullets.

“Phew.”

I took a deep breath and looked around.

Given the circumstances, it is highly likely that an assassin has infiltrated.

Besides, if he managed to get through this heavily guarded place, he must not be an ordinary assassin.

‘It might be the worst case scenario.’

Did your second or third brother send it?

The assassins of the Sultanate of Pajar are famous even on the continent. They are experts in assassination who only carry out royal orders.

If one of the Assassins had intruded here,

‘Fuck.’

I might die without being able to move.

So Samir kept his revolver tightly gripped and kept a watchful eye around the door.

‘Why on earth is it like this… … .’

As that suffocating moment continued, something unbelievable happened before his eyes.

“excuse me.”

A figure emerged from the shadows of the desk.

An extremely unrealistic scene.

Samir didn’t even dare to pull his revolver, and just stared blankly at the intruder.

A man wearing a mask.

As soon as the man appeared, he waved at her.

“Are you Prince Samir?”

“… …Who are you? Are you the guy sent by your brothers?”

“Well, I’m still a little embarrassed to introduce myself.”

Prince Samir had never heard of or seen anything like the sorcery of moving through shadows.

Even the palace sorcerers had never shown such abilities.

Samir could tell right away that the man in front of him was strong.

The atmosphere that comes from it is different.

Even though he was sneaking in, he spoke confidently and had a relaxed attitude.

That was a privilege granted only to the strong.

“There is no need to be alarmed. I just came here to tell you something, Prince.”

“How can you be sure of that?”

To those words, the masked man answered with a voice mixed with laughter.

“If I had intended to kill you, I wouldn’t have had to show myself to you like this, right?”

A statement that may sound arrogant at first glance.

But Samir could only nod.

“I admit it.”

“Please put down that revolver you’re holding… … You can’t kill me with a toy like that.”

“I see, that’s how it is.”

He put the revolver down on the table with a bitter smile and spoke in a low voice.

“This is the first time an unauthorized person has entered my room. It’s quiet outside. Did you kill him?”

“I didn’t kill him. I just let him sleep for a while. I’m not the type of person to kill people so easily… … Shut up, Guillotine. I’m talking. Oh, sorry. My sword keeps bothering me.”

Although the identity of this man is still unknown, one thing is certain.

‘You’re not in your right mind.’

I could tell just by looking at those sparkling eyes.

Samir sighed and sat down. He looked like a crazy guy, but shouldn’t he listen to his business?

“Why did you come to me?”

I tried to remain calm and looked into the other person’s eyes.

It is already a well-known fact that one’s life depends on the other person.

Begging for your life won’t make much of a difference.

So, Samir sat on his chair and assumed the most dignified posture possible.

“You are the most impressive royal I have ever seen. Aren’t you afraid of this situation?”

“Even if I’m scared, nothing will change. Even if I die, I’ll die as a prince.”

“I really like it. Why doesn’t our country have a royal family like this?”

The man pulled up a chair and sat down opposite the prince. Then he spoke in a cheerful voice.

“I heard that a saint came from the Holy Kingdom. That the crown prince is sick?”

“It’s a fact that everyone knows, so there’s no need to hide it. Yes.”

“Is it by any chance black magic?”

Samir’s expression hardened at those words.

“……How did know?”

“If you’ve reached out to your long-time enemy, the Holy Kingdom, then… … it’s obvious, right? That’s why I thought I’d help you.”

“How shameless of you to trespass without an invitation.”

“Let’s listen to the story first. It won’t be a big deal to you or to me.”

The intruder began to speak to the prince.

6.

“… … So, if you cut your brother with your sword, his illness will be cured?”

“Hey. It’s not a cut, it’s a stab. Just one stab is enough. I told you my sword is a master in that area.”

“I knew he was crazy, but he’s seriously crazy. I don’t think it’s worth listening to.”

Prince Samir’s attitude was stubborn.

Actually, it was an expected reaction.

-If a guy you don’t even know appears out of nowhere and says he’s going to stab your brother with a knife, would you allow him to do that?

It was as Guillotine said.

In fact, even Caron thought it was absurd.

Something that is not easily permitted even between people with a strong relationship of trust.

I didn’t really have any expectations from the beginning.

“I guess you lack trust.”

“You and I have only known each other for thirty minutes. And you are an intruder who sneaked in here. Of course.”

“I understand.”

Charon looked at Prince Samir in front of him with shining eyes.

Even though he was only in his early twenties, his eyes were very deep.

Should we say that he shows a wisdom that is unusual for his peers?

Seeing him remain so calm even though his life was being held hostage, I could tell that he was definitely that guy.

“How can I build trust?”

“I don’t understand why you are trying so hard to persuade me. If you want to be promoted, you can just cut off my head here and go to your brothers. Don’t you have the skills to do that?”

“I don’t prefer that kind of handling of affairs. I only kill those who get in my way.”

If you do something like that and get caught, war will break out between the Orias Empire and the Sultanate.

The risk is too great for the reward.

And more than anything, I liked this prince in front of me.

If Prince Samir had been a human scumbag, this might have been a method he would have considered positively.

“There is only one thing I want. Ali Oasis. I want to get into it.”

“Ali Oasis? You are truly an incomprehensible person. What on earth are you planning to do in the royal sanctuary?”

“Everyone has their own circumstances. But I promise I won’t cause too much harm to the prince.”

Samir looked at Charon quietly.

The black eyes that sparkled like obsidian stood out.

After a while, he spoke in a powerful voice.

“Do you know what the first thing you need to do to build trust is?”

“well.”

“We should greet each other face to face first. You have the order wrong.”

“Oh, that was the problem. Just a moment.”

Caron took off the mask he had been wearing on his face.

Then, his bare face was revealed. Of course, it was a disguised face behind the doppelganger’s mask.

“Is it okay?”

But Samir shook his head firmly.

“Show me your true self.”

“How did you know?”

“My ring detects magic. It was a gift from my brother.”

“Just figuring out that it’s a disguise spell… … . Ah.”

Charon realized that what he had just said was a simple leading question.

It’s quite a lot.

To be able to be so relaxed in this life-threatening situation is something that only a strong-hearted person can do.

You have great guts. Is this what they call a big bowl?

“You’ll be shocked when you find out my true identity. Are you okay with that?”

“I guarantee you that there is nothing more shocking than having your life threatened by a sudden intruder.”

“The more I look at him, the more I like him.”

Caron thought about it for a moment.

What kind of variable would revealing your identity to Samir be?

I thought carefully about the aftermath.

But the worries didn’t last long.

Anyway, the prince’s life has been taken hostage. As the prince said, is there any more rudeness that can be committed here?

So, Charon took off the doppelganger’s mask. Then.

Srrrrrr.

Charon’s true face is revealed.

Hair that looks like it’s made of gold.

And there are mysterious blue eyes.

The appearance of a third-rate mercenary disappeared in the blink of an eye, and the face of a young man took its place.

Samir looked at Caron’s face and then muttered in a low voice.

“You’re much younger than I thought. Blonde hair and blue eyes. A young man with the ability to get through my men and get here… … Yes, now I know who you are.”

“Oh, really? Let me guess.”

In response to Charon’s question, Samir looked straight at Charon and spoke in a calm voice.

“Caron Reston.”

“Correct. How did you know?”

“I am very interested in the Empire. If I know my enemy, I will not be defeated.”

Charon straightened his clothes and smiled. Then he bowed politely again to Prince Samir.

“I am Karon Reston. It is an honor to meet His Royal Highness Prince Samir of the Sultanate of Pajar.”

At those words, Samir let out a deep sigh.

“I have heard your story through the intelligence agency of our Sultanate.”

And he said, pointing to the chair with his hand.

“Have a seat, Mad Dog. You will either bite my neck or someone else’s. Listen and you will know.”

“The spies are quite capable. Everyone in the Empire knows me as a hero… … . Well, that’s good.”

Charon sat back down and rubbed his hands lightly. Then he smiled brightly and said.

“Then shall we start trading now?”

Charon’s tongue began to dance.

There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
