Episode 162 51. Sultan (2)

2.

Nadia’s expression became distorted as she watched the hostage situation unfolding before her eyes.

It was a scene that was beyond common sense.

“Prince Samir. What on earth… what on earth have you done?”

She gritted her teeth and glared at Prince Samir.

“Your Majesty, did you not truly follow the Crown Prince?”

A clever prince who was the only one among the princes to support the crown prince.

Prince Samir was a man who had outstanding talent since childhood, but never aspired to become crown prince.

Although he was a prince born of a concubine, he was also a prince whom the Sultan cherished dearly.

Why did he, who was like that, get involved in such an outrageous act?

“Answer me, Prince Samir.”

“Sir Nadia, this was the best option for me.”

“Did you intend to take the Crown Prince’s life in his stead? Even if it meant becoming a traitor? That is truly a tearful act of brotherhood.”

Prince Samir nodded with an indifferent expression at Nadia’s accusation.

It was something I expected. At the same time, it was something I was prepared for.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a traitor.

Because I was willing to do anything if only my brother could come to his senses.

Prince Samir furtively studied the crown prince’s face. Then his eyes opened wide.

‘… … Is there a road?’

I could see life returning to my brother’s pale face.

The bizarre treatment method of inserting that ominous sword was effective.

“Sir Nadia, my brother… … .”

“Prince Samir, don’t say another word. I will tell you the full story after I kill that traitor.”

But Nadia, consumed by anger, failed to notice the Crown Prince’s condition.

Just focus on the arrogant traitor in front of you.

“How can you speak so carelessly to the prince? You are a guardian by name, but you are being so rude.”

That damn traitor spoke to her as if he was mocking her.

But Nadia realized that all of this was just a delaying tactic to buy time.

The guy was doing something with his hand on the crown prince’s chest.

“Stop it now, traitor. Then I will kill you in peace and without pain.”

“It’s almost over, so please wait a moment. Whether I die now or later, isn’t it the same?”

Wooooow-!

A dark blue light emanates from the traitor’s body.

Nadia narrowed her eyes and examined the traitor’s body.

‘… … Is it 7 stars?’

A strong magical power is felt from the traitor. However, the magical power possessed by the author is quite different from that possessed by the inspectors of the Pazar Sultanate.

Most of those who have trained in the Sultanate practice red-hot magic. Nadia herself was one of them.

But the author has a dark blue glow. This means that it is not an ordinary magical power.

‘It’s not black magic.’

If it was black magic, I would have noticed it right away.

She spoke in a low voice.

“… … You are not a knight of the Pazar Sultanate.”

It was a sure thing.

Besides, that dark blue magic felt somehow familiar.

“You have a really good sense. An 8-star knight is an 8-star knight. But you know what? If you move recklessly… … . Your Highness the Crown Prince will just fall asleep. I have that level of skill.”

It’s true.

If we stick together, we’ll win, but that guy is currently holding the crown prince hostage.

If you don’t cut it down in one go, the crown prince’s life will be cut off.

That’s why Nadia couldn’t move her body freely.

Just glaring at the opponent.

As time passed, the traitor finally took his hand off the crown prince’s chest.

“Thank you for waiting.”

The traitor smiled and pulled out the sword stuck in the crown prince’s thigh.

“Your Majesty, could you please give the Crown Prince some energy? You should do that much.”

“All right.”

Paaaaat-!

The light flowing from the saint’s body seeped into the crown prince’s body.

The traitor looked at the scene with pleasure, then turned his head slowly towards Samir.

“Customer, it’s all finished… … .”

That was when.

Chaeaeaeaeaaeng-!

Nadia, who found an opening, stabbed Charon with her sword.

The traitor blocked the sword as if he had expected it. He brought the sword down just in time to twist the sword path.

But what Nadia was after was not Charon’s neck.

She lifted the crown prince who was lying on the bed, then immediately stepped back.

The traitor nodded as if he was impressed by the sight.

“Hostage rescue is your top priority? You’re as capable as they say.”

Tadadadadak-.

Before we knew it, dozens of armed men had entered the crown prince’s bedroom.

Nadia handed the crown prince over to them, then said as she readjusted her sword.

“Tell me who sent it.”

“If I tell you honestly, will you spare my life?”

“At least I’ll make your death less painful.”

“Wow, you are really generous.”

The traitor smirked and slowly patted his own cheek.

And at that moment, the scarred face disappeared, revealing the appearance of a young, handsome man.

Then the saint approached him carefully and asked in a quiet voice.

“What are you going to do now? If you’re not careful, you could end up being executed for treason. What’s your plan…? Do you have a plan?”

Then the traitor, Charon, nodded with a bright smile.

“Yes. Everything is according to my plan. Don’t worry, Saintess. There is a way out. Just trust me.”

Caron made a bold statement. Then he turned to Nadia again.

“If you’re trying to kill me here now, you’re making a mistake.”

“Your tongue grows longer when you’re at a disadvantage. I don’t know what big shot is behind you, but I’ll definitely tear you apart… … .”

“I have heard much from you, Lord Nadia. My name is Charon Reston, the youngest of the Dukes of Reston. I have heard that you are also close to my great-aunt Sabina. Sabina has often told me about Lord Nadia. She says that there is a scorpion in the desert that is extremely poisonous. Haha!”

When in a hurry, sell your family name.

That was the biggest lesson Charon learned in this life.

With those words, Charon put the guillotine he was holding on the ground and raised both arms towards Nadia.

“I surrender. Now, I have disarmed myself. Do you still intend to kill me?”

At those words, Nadia’s face wrinkled and she gritted her teeth.

“I’ve heard that Grand Duke Halo’s youngest grandson is crazy, but he’s no ordinary crazy person.”

Karon Reston is the youngest son of the Reston Duke family and currently the most popular young hero in the Empire.

But one day she heard a story about this guy from Sabina.

What on earth did this mad dog do when he came all the way to the enemy’s capital?

Nadia’s mind was in turmoil, but one thing was certain.

That we shouldn’t kill this guy here.

‘The moment you kill someone, things get out of control.’

In the worst case scenario, war could break out.

Nadia, having made her decision, spoke firmly to her subordinates.

“Arrest these criminals right now.”

“yes!”

The men moved quickly and forced Charon, Ceria, and Samir to their knees, then tied the criminals’ bodies tightly together using specially made ropes.

Charon spoke to Nadia from his knees.

“Thank you for your wise decision, Sir Nadia.”

A smile appeared on Caron’s lips.

“Make no mistake. You will die on the gallows, not here.”

To those words, Caron replied with a big smile.

“We’ll just have to wait and see.”

Why is that?

To Nadia, those words didn’t sound like mere boasting.

“… … Send the criminals to prison.”

We’ll have to wait and see what this guy’s intentions are.

So, Caron was arrested in the palace.

3.

A prison located beneath the palace of the Pajar Sultanate.

Saint Ceria bit her lips tightly while her hands were tied. Then she spoke to Charon, who was giggling in front of her.

“Caron Reston, was this your plan?”

“Well, we were a little short on time, but I guess we can call it a half success?”

“That’s really amazing.”

“Thank you for the compliment, Saint.”

“It’s sarcasm.”

“Then that is high praise. Thank you very much.”

As Charon answered in a bright voice, Prince Samir, who was tied up next to Charon, let out a sigh as if the ground was falling apart.

“Was it even your plan to take my brother hostage?”

“Your Majesty, I think you’re asking the wrong question.”

“what?”

“You should first ask if there was really a plan.”

“… … I guess I misjudged you.”

“Wasn’t it you, Prince, who dragged us in from the beginning? I just made a judgment that fit the situation.”

He causes all the troubles by himself, but in the end, he blames others for his actions.

Samir looked at Charon and clenched his fists.

I felt like punching that shameless face right now.

“As you said, I am also responsible, so I will not hold you responsible any longer. What is important is your brother’s condition. It certainly seemed like there was a way out.”

At Samir’s words, Caron nodded with a smirk.

“The procedure was successful. The source of the curse that was in the Crown Prince’s body has been removed, so he will probably recover quickly. The Saintess has also increased his recovery power. Isn’t that right?”

Now all that remains is to hope that the Crown Prince wakes up quickly.

What if the crown prince doesn’t wake up?

‘At that time, a real war could break out.’

Not only was he likely to be executed on the Sultanate’s gallows, but there was also a high probability that war would break out between the two countries.

It would seem that the hero representing the empire has assassinated the crown prince of the enemy country.

But Caron wasn’t too worried.

The crown prince will definitely wake up.

“That’s fortunate.”

Only then did Samir breathe a sigh of relief.

“Even if I am executed here as a traitor, as long as you wake up, that’s fine.”

“This is truly a tearful brotherhood. I hope our grandfathers can see it and learn from it. But, Prince. The saint and I don’t want to die here, do we, Saint?”

“… … If only Lord Caron hadn’t done that crazy thing… … .”

“Oh, Saintess. Don’t you know about the Community of Fate? Why are people so disloyal?”

While the three were talking like that, someone came into the prison.

Again.

The sound of shoes hitting the floor was heard a few times, and soon a man appeared in front of the iron bars.

The strong smell of perfume was so strong that it penetrated even the inside of the iron bars.

The man smiled wickedly at Samir.

“Samir. Are you finally going crazy? I should be grateful. I didn’t know you would throw your life into the gutter like this. Hehe. Why, did you want to send your brother to the afterlife first because you felt bad for him, who was still living like a corpse?”

A loud, mocking voice rang out. Then Samir glared at the man and answered.

“Brother Amin. What brings you here?”

“I came here to mock you before you die. Hehe. I heard that you’ve been in league with the scum of the Empire. That guy next to you must be the famous Charon Reston. His face… … is quite handsome. Of course, not as handsome as me. Hehe.”

Prince Amin.

The man seemed to be the third prince of the Pazar Sultanate.

Caron looked at the unexpected visitor with a blank expression.

“Customer. Is that idiot your third older brother?”

“……okay.”

“Oh, you bastard who constantly harasses the palace maids and commits trash acts against the people? The rumors that you were getting old through your asshole were really true. There’s no smoke without smoke, you know?”

Samir couldn’t bring himself to nod at those words.

Although what Caron said was absolutely true, I couldn’t bring myself to agree to something that insulted my family.

“Since there is no answer, I assume you agree with what I said.”

Charon slowly got up from his seat and approached the iron bars.

Then Prince Amin shouted at Charon, cursing him.

“How dare a servant of the Empire insult this body? Yes. If your wish is to die, I will execute you right now.”

“Prince Amin, I have an incurable disease.”

“Incurable disease? What the hell are you talking about?”

“An incurable disease that makes you unable to just pass by when you see a loser. I promise, be careful when I get out of here. My next target is you. Look forward to it.”

Amin was startled by the murderous aura flowing out of Caron’s body and took a step back.

And he said in a trembling voice.

“Yes, there’s no way you could get out of here… … .”

But that was then.

“Do not provoke the sinner needlessly, Prince Amin.”

A knight wearing red armor, Nadia, appeared.

Her appearance caught my eye again.

A young knight with white skin and brown hair.

Considering that she was acquainted with Sabina, this meant that she too had regained her youth by reaching the 8th level.

“Sir Nadia! You came at a good time. That sinner who deserves death has insulted and threatened me… .”

Amin waited for Nadia to tell him, but Nadia just sighed and let the words slip away. Then she spoke in a low voice.

“Charon Reston, the Sultan wishes to see you.”

At those words, Amin’s expression turned pale, and Caron answered with a smile.

“If you call me, I have to go.”

“The restraints remain on.”

“No complaints.”

Nadia opened the bars, and Caron stepped out of the bars with a smile. Then he whispered softly in Amin’s ear.

“We’ll see you later.”

For some, it was the beginning of hell.

So, after giving Prince Amin an unforgettable moment, Caron said to Nadia.

“Then shall we go and collect the money now?”

“… … It’s not a collection, it’s an audience. Be careful with your word choice.”

“Oh, sorry. I’m a bit frivolous.”

It seemed like the gamble from earlier had been successful.

‘What should I tear off so that people will say I’ve eaten well?’

After all, life was just one room.

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