Episode 161 51. Sultan

One.

The journey to the capital was fairly smooth.

Of course, there were mysterious assassins who came in the middle, and the Holy Kingdom’s Inquisitors also attacked, but for the most part, it was relatively smooth.

So Charon arrived in the capital with Prince Samira and Saint Seria, and headed straight to the royal palace.

The palace of the Pazar Sultanate was smaller than the imperial palace, but it was no less splendid.

“Is that all gold?”

Charon said, pointing to a yellow statue that stood in the palace garden.

Then Samir nodded slowly.

“Of course. As you know, there are many gold mines in the eastern part of the Sultanate.”

“That’s amazing, Saint. Is there something like that in the Holy Kingdom?”

Seria nodded to Charon’s question.

“There are quite a few faceless golden statues. They are statues erected to give glory to the splendid light.”

“That’s all gold too?”

“I know that.”

“I’ll have to stop by later and pick some up. You cheeky brats.”

“……yes?”

“Originally, the most delicious thing is to steal the enemy’s property.”

The three walked forward slowly, talking to each other.

Is it because the Four Princes personally brought the guests?

No one looked at Caron with suspicion. Instead, all eyes were focused on Seria.

Unlike Caron, who kept her identity a secret, Seria had revealed that she was a saint, so it was only natural that she would stand out.

So they walked diligently and finally reached their destination.

A splendid palace adorned with gold.

In front of them, troops armed with plate armor were standing guard.

They bowed politely to Samir as he arrived in front of the palace.

“Meet Prince Samir!”

“You all are having a hard time. I came to see you, brother.”

“Your Majesty, you may come in at any time. However, we cannot allow the guests behind you to enter. We hope you understand.”

At those words, Caron’s expression slightly distorted, but Samir raised his hand as if he had expected it and said.

“It is with the Sultan’s permission. These are the guests I have brought to treat my brother.”

“I haven’t heard any stories from you… … .”

Just then, Samir threatened the soldier with a mockingly angry expression.

“Do you now suspect me, the prince of the Sultanate, of lying? I simply cannot tolerate your presumptuous words and actions.”

A stubborn attitude.

It didn’t suit Samir, who always showed a soft side, but the effect seemed certain.

The soldier guarding the palace nodded and took a step back.

“I apologize for doubting you. Please understand.”

Samir’s expression softened and he placed a hand on the soldier’s shoulder.

“This is something that came from a sincere desire to protect my brother, so I will let it slide this time. Now, distinguished guests, please come in.”

The work is really good.

I have never seen him speak to the Sultan in private, so when did he get permission from him?

Samir led Caron and Seria into the palace, and soon a magnificent hallway came into view.

“Prince.”

“Please speak.”

“When on earth did you get permission from the Sultan? I don’t think I even saw him contact you.”

Then Samir answered in a confident voice.

“Of course it’s a lie.”

“no way.”

“This is the quickest way. Even if I vouch for your identity, do you think it would be possible to see your sick brother without the Sultan’s permission?”

At those words, Charon could not help but hit his forehead with his hand.

‘You’re doing this here?’

I thought you were a person who mostly made rational decisions, but I never thought you would act so recklessly.

In the match, he has the guts to bet boldly.

Could this be the real me?

“Remember, Caron Reston. This is a gamble for me, too.”

“I guess so. If you think about it, isn’t this treason?”

“So if you want to survive, please wake up my brother. If only my brother wakes up, I don’t care what the price is.”

Before they knew it, they arrived at the prince’s bedroom.

Samir took a deep breath in front of the door, then slowly opened it. Then he stepped carefully inside.

Karon followed Samir into the crown prince’s bedroom.

For an unauthorized person to enter the bedroom of a royal family member, especially the crown prince, is in itself a grave sin.

A felony punishable by death under the pretext of attempted assassination.

“Brother. I’m here.”

The bedroom looked much neater than the hallway.

The decorations are too simple to be considered the crown prince’s bedroom.

Apart from the furniture necessary for daily life, no luxuries can be found. Through this, Caron was able to guess the Crown Prince’s personality.

Moreover, the sight of his half-brother crying and worrying like that clearly shows the kind of life the crown prince has lived.

‘He was a good person.’

A handsome man with black hair and black eyes.

First of all, the crown prince’s first impression was not bad.

but,

“It really was black magic.”

The only problem was that, as the saint had said, she could sense black magic coming from the crown prince’s body.

Samir nodded and gestured to the attendants who had followed the group in.

“I will begin treating your brother now. You guys, stay out.”

After Samir defeated the servants, only the four of them were left in the bedroom.

Samir, Karon, Seria, and finally the Crown Prince.

“What do you think?”

“Not good. It seems that the black magic has already stained your soul. Someone has cursed you with black magic. Can I take a closer look?”

“Please, Saint.”

Caron took a step back, as per his agreement with Samir.

The Saint tries first, and if she fails, I step forward. That’s the deal I made with Samir.

‘What do you think, guillotine?’

-That’s the black magic of sloth. As the saint said, someone must have put a curse on her, but the situation is not so good. It seems like she’s been cursed for quite some time. Even for a saint, that wouldn’t be easy, right?

Paaaaat-!

Just then, two pairs of wings sprouted from Seria’s back.

At the same time, her body glowed white.

Pure white divine power.

Even Charon was amazed by the purity of the divine power that instantly penetrated into the crown prince’s body.

“please.”

Samir watched the scene silently, his fists clenched. A look of desperation appeared on his face.

How much time has passed like that?

“… … It’s not easy.”

Seria shook her head, her face suddenly drenched in sweat.

“You have been exposed to the curse for too long. And this is the Demon King’s black magic. The Demon King of Sloth, this is definitely his aura.”

“Is there really no way?”

“The curse and your body are already tightly intertwined. If you try to purify it forcibly in this situation, there is a high possibility that your body will collapse.”

The diagnosis was accurate.

It was exactly what Guillotine said.

Seria looked down at the crown prince and let out a small sigh.

“If we use the Primal Flame, the holy relic stored in the Vatican, there might be a way. The Primal Flame is a holy relic that only burns black magic.”

“… … I heard a rumor that you can even bring the dead back to life, but is that difficult even with your strength?”

“I’m sorry, Prince Samir.”

Seria slowly turned her head and looked at Charon. Then she spoke in a low voice.

“Caron, please.”

Is it because of my mood?

It seemed as if there was an unknown confidence in her voice.

“If even the saint couldn’t do it, what difference would it make if I, a loser, did it?”

“I’m sure you’ll find a way.”

“You have a knowing look in your eyes.”

“Because the brilliant light said so.”

“Is it some kind of revelation? Well… … I guess it doesn’t really matter.”

Caron nodded slightly and then spoke to Samir with a blank expression on his face.

“Oh, is it my turn now?”

“Is it possible?”

“You have to try it to find out.”

Samir looked down at his brother with a gloomy expression.

My brother is getting weaker day by day.

The royal physicians have long since given up. Rumor has it that they have already begun preparations for the funeral.

‘Something must be done.’

So, didn’t you lead them into the palace?

“Caron Reston. Please… … .”

Samir nodded, clenching his fists.

At those words, Caron smiled as if he had been waiting for it.

“Now that we have your permission, we can begin work right away.”

Srrrrrrung-!

Charon pulled the guillotine from its scabbard.

The dark blue blade emitted an eerie light, and Samir shivered at the sight.

It’s a sword I still can’t get used to.

Living.

When I looked at that sword, my body automatically became stiff.

“Jeong, really, that sword on your brother’s body?”

“How many times have I told you?”

“… … I thought that was just a metaphor.”

“I don’t like beating around the bush. No, if you tell me to stop here, I can stop. The choice is yours. How about… … Should I stop? Or should I continue?”

Samir swallowed hard.

Is there any reason to hesitate after coming all this way?

If things continue like this, my brother will pass away soon.

I couldn’t just watch that scene helplessly.

“… … Continue… ….”

Samir barely nodded, and Karon approached the crown prince with a leisurely expression.

“Your Highness, please excuse me for a moment. It stings a little.”

Phew-.

The guillotine’s dark blue blade dug shallowly into the crown prince’s right thigh.

And at that moment,

【Kkaaa …

A tremendous scream spread throughout the area.

It was not a scream coming from the crown prince’s mouth.

It was just a scream that burst from the crown prince’s wounds.

-Here we go, master.

‘It’s just eating up black magic.’

-Anyway, there is nothing but black magic in this body. I will guide you, so come to your senses and follow me, Master.

‘None of your business.’

Kwarrrrrr.

Black mucus begins to flow from the crown prince’s body.

The mucus instantly transformed into the shape of a spear and rushed towards Charon’s neck.

But Seria did not just sit back and watch.

“Oh, light.”

Paaaaat-!

The light flowing from the saint’s body enveloped Charon’s body, and the mucus instantly turned into black ash as soon as it touched the saint’s light.

Thanks to this, Caron was able to focus solely on the crown prince.

‘see.’

A snake was seen coiled inside the crown prince’s body.

A snake with pitch-black skin.

The snake reveals its sharp fangs towards Charon.

Woooooooooo-!

Charon’s magic reached out towards the snake without mercy.

The crown prince’s body had already fallen into the den of that cunning snake. However, Charon’s magic power swallowed up all the black magic he could see and moved forward.

-Master. Add some more magic power.

A huge amount of magical power flows into the crown prince’s body as he rides the guillotine.

Oh, the power of magic that has settled in the core.

Wooooow-!

Due to that enormous magical power, a dark blue light began to emanate from the crown prince’s body.

‘I don’t think the crown prince will be able to last long… … .’

Because I had been sleeping for such a long time, my body was very weak.

Moreover, the crown prince was a person who had never even trained in magical powers.

It will not be able to withstand this enormous magical power.

Therefore, if this fight drags on for too long, it is disadvantageous.

‘Finish it in one go.’

Charon concentrated his magical power into one place.

There is only one target.

That black snake that resides in my heart.

Kwaaaaaaaaaaah-!

A huge wave crashed down on the snake. The black magic that had taken hold in various parts of the crown prince’s body tried to resist, but the wave greedily devoured them.

-Master. Just a little more.

Finally, the wave that Charon created reached the snake. The snake twisted its body to survive, but

【Kyaaaaaaaah-!】

In the end, I had no choice but to be devoured by those merciless waves.

‘……done.’

The source of the curse has been destroyed.

Now all that remains is to absorb all the black magic spread throughout the crown prince’s body.

But that was then.

-… …Master. Is this a big problem?

“I felt it too… … .”

Kwaaaaaaaaaaahh …

The bedroom door completely shattered, sending up a huge cloud of dust.

And from among the dust a woman slowly walked out.

“The Sultan has decreed that all those who participated in the rebellion be torn to pieces.”

She looked back and forth between Charon and the crown prince with a blank expression.

To be precise, I’m talking about Charon, who is sticking his sword into the crown prince’s body.

‘8 star knight.’

Among the eight knights of the Pajar Sultanate, only one is a woman.

A guardian who protects the royal family of the Sultanate.

Nadia Seika, aka Scorpion.

Caron said to her with a forced smile.

“I think there is a misunderstanding… … .”

“I have personally witnessed the scene of treason, so I will make a decision on the spot.”

Red magical energy burned from the thin sword she was holding.

“You are to be summarily executed.”

Nadia, who had just finished speaking briefly, ran straight towards Charon.

But at that moment.

“for a moment!”

“……what?”

“Don’t move hastily, Sir Nadia.”

Caron stopped Nadia, still holding the guillotine, and spoke in a very mean voice.

“You have to listen to my story.”

“There will be no negotiations with traitors!”

“The Crown Prince is in my hands, so how dare you do anything? Please stand still and listen to what I have to say. If you keep doing that, I might make a mistake… … Do you understand? Hehe.”

“Yes, Inooom!”

At Charon’s words that he would take the crown prince hostage, Samir and the saintess’ faces turned pale.

‘This crazy bird… … .’

‘… … Great Light. Is it true that you have chosen this interest?’

Finally, a bomb exploded in the palace.

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