5.
Morning at Cheonghae Castle.
In front of the castle, all the elders of the family came out to see off Caron and his party.
It was decided that the method of getting to the capital would be teleportation.
Although the magic circle located in the palace could not be used, there was a very good magician in Cheonghae Castle.
The wizard’s true identity was, of course, Gratia.
“You don’t think of me as a means of transportation, do you?”
As Gratia grumbled, Caron clapped his hands as if a funny idea had occurred to him.
“If you don’t like teleporting, how about giving me a ride on your back? It would be really cool if you showed up in the capital riding a dragon… … . And if you’re bored, you could shoot me with your breath.”
“Speak sense!”
“it’s a shame.”
Even the dragons, known as the great race and the masters of magic, were nothing more than creatures to be manipulated by Charon.
Caron glanced back at Revelio, scratching his head.
“If only my brother hadn’t told me the coordinates, we could have gone on our dragon.”
“I cannot commit such an offense to a great man.”
“As expected, wizards know how to respect our race. Revelio, you say? I like you.”
“It is an honor, Dragon.”
Revelio provided coordinates for a safe location near the capital.
Thanks to this, there is no need to take the train.
Caron spoke with a calm expression to Revelio and Gratia, who were quite good at killing.
“What respect do wizards have for dragons? They’ll just capture them and study them whenever they get the chance. Like, vivisections, or vivisections. And more vivisections.”
“Do you think everyone in the world is like you, little brother? If you were to be unfilial to your father, you would have been unfilial. You must always show respect to dragons.”
“It’s a boast.”
“Well then. I’m bragging. Honestly, I’m very happy right now. I’m personally bringing in the people who will overthrow the royal family. Isn’t that the ultimate act of unfilial piety?”
The royal offspring was smiling as if he was so happy.
In the end, Revelio had practically achieved his goal.
“I have to give my father a present before he passes away.”
Even though he said that, complex emotions were revealed on Rebellio’s face.
Revelio is dangerously smart.
If it is revealed that the royal family was plotting, he must have already predicted how his position would change.
The moment evidence is revealed that the Crown Prince is involved in this incident,
‘Halo will bring down the Crown Prince.’
Charon was sure that Halo would move.
The position of the Crown Prince became vacant. It was clear that a fight would break out over the position.
In other words, this means that Revelio has a chance. What if he also has the support of the Duke of Reston and the Magic Tower?
It was quite possible.
So Charon spoke to Revelio in a meaningful voice.
“This is a deal, bro.”
“I know.”
Revelio nodded blandly.
“There’s no such thing as a free lunch. My thoughts have changed a lot. Originally, I was just going to live and die, but when I thought about it, it felt a bit unfair.”
He looked at Charon with a smile.
“You have to pay back what you owe. Right?”
It was Revelio who hated the royal family more than anyone else. After recalling Revelio’s story, Caron let out a small sigh.
“I’m sure you’ll do well.”
“I will live up to the expectations of the Duke of Reston. Don’t worry.”
“If anyone saw me, they would think I had already ascended to the throne.”
Even if we were to bring down the crown prince, it would be nothing more than climbing a mountain.
From then on, it’s Halo’s choice.
Charon slowly turned his head. Halo was slowly walking towards him.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes, my lord.”
Since it was an official event, I addressed them properly.
Halo looked around at his grandchildren, including Charon.
“This mission will be the most complex and difficult mission you have ever undertaken.”
A situation where everything is intertwined.
In addition to armed conflict, many other factors such as politics and public opinion are involved.
This means that the situation is full of numerous variables. It was nearly impossible for just four people to solve this complex problem.
But Halo trusted her grandchildren. And she trusted Charon, who led them.
“If you find it difficult to complete, retreat without hesitation. Even if you fail, I won’t hold you responsible.”
“Understood, my lord.”
“Do not worry.”
“okay.”
Halo patted his grandchildren on the shoulder one by one. Then he spoke to Charon.
“I would like to give my regards to my brother-in-law. I don’t know how he is doing since the communication with the capital was cut off.”
“yes.”
“This is enough.”
Halo glanced at Gratia, and Gratia quietly activated the magic circle.
Woohoo-!
An intense light emanated from the magic circle, and immediately a blue door appeared above it.
“Have a nice trip.”
“Please come back safely.”
As always, Pale and Sarah greeted Caron with concern.
Caron smiled and hugged them both.
“Mother, don’t worry. I’m sure your grandfather is fine. I’ll go and contact him.”
“Yes. You promised, right?”
The time of farewell ended like that, and Caron and his party slowly approached the magic circle.
Before stepping toward the magic circle, Charon bowed to the adults in the house.
“Okay, I’ll be off.”
The rest of the cousins followed Charon and bowed down.
The adults waved their hands lightly in greeting.
It was a place where the future of the Duke’s family joined forces and went on a campaign. So, it would be right to send expectations instead of worries.
The simple ceremony came to an end, and with Caron in the lead, each person stepped into the magic circle.
Paaaaat-!
A brilliant light filled the area, and teleportation occurred in the blink of an eye.
Halo looked at the magic circle where her grandchildren had left and smiled bitterly. Then she spoke to Jeras, who was next to her.
“Gather your troops in case of an emergency. Issue a rally order to the troops stationed at the port, as well as to the knights dispatched to various parts of the empire.”
“Where is the assembly point?”
Halo didn’t think his grandchildren would fail, but it was his duty as the head of the household to prepare for the eventuality.
“Thebes.”
The Duke of Reston will prepare for the coming storm, and if that storm threatens the future, he will cut it down without hesitation.
Just like it was 50 years ago.
Halo looked at the magic circle and swore a firm oath.
6.
This is the Akin Forest, located about 20 minutes outside the capital.
Wooooow-!
A blue light spread through this place filled with the sounds of birds and insects.
Five men and women appeared in the brilliant light.
“Teleportation is convenient.”
“That’s because they eat a ton of magic stones. I mean, when you have a dragon, you have to use it a lot.”
“Caron. Lady Gratia is the guardian dragon of the family. She is not one of our workers… … .”
“Anyone who stays in Cheonghae Castle has to pay for their meals.”
“Does that sound like something you want me to hear?”
“I guess you got stabbed. I didn’t say that for you, hyung.”
They walked forward, exchanging jokes.
Armor engraved with the symbol of the Duke of Reston.
Although it was an unofficial mission, it was ostensibly to escort Prince Revelio.
So there was no reason to hide his identity.
“Let’s go over the plan again.”
Caron said as he walked diligently.
“I’ve said this many times, but the three of you are just bait. The moment we enter, the royal family’s attention will be on us. Then I’ll sneak up on you.”
The abilities he absorbed from his doppelganger were further strengthened through his encounter with Rael.
The amount of magic power consumed has been reduced, and the duration has been significantly increased.
Thanks to this, the range of choices has expanded.
By using a clone, you can escape the gaze of the watchers, and if you do that, your radius of action will naturally expand.
“Where should we stay?”
Hugo asked casually.
Where to stay during your stay in the capital is a very important question.
Because now that we couldn’t accurately grasp the situation in the capital, there was no safe zone.
“Like I said back then, my maternal grandfather’s house.”
“I hope your brother-in-law is okay?”
“The royal family wouldn’t have touched it openly. The moment they touch my grandfather, it will give us a reason to intervene.”
Caron calmly answered Hugo’s questions and began to formulate his plan.
Hugo was also well aware of the plan, but he asked on purpose.
It was natural to double-check the plan before embarking on a mission.
“I’m going to enter the palace with Brother Revelio. The Imperial Guard promised to help, didn’t they?”
“Will Sir Luke really betray the Knights?”
“That is not betrayal, it is duty. Sir Luke is a man who upholds the code of chivalry.”
In the capital, it was decided to seek the assistance of the Imperial Guard.
To be exact, Luke and the Imperial Guards that follow him.
They are currently waiting in the capital. They will join you in the capital and open the way for you to head to the palace together with Prince Revelio.
“Everyone, take note.”
Charon warned his companions.
“If you see someone with black magic, swing your sword first.”
I can’t tell exactly how far the lottery guys have gone with their manipulation.
Since there were many citizens living in the capital, there was a possibility that they would commit evil acts.
They are the kind of guys who will still do that.
In fact, the Emperor had attempted to summon the Gate by sacrificing the citizens of the capital city over 50 years ago.
Although I wasn’t prepared for it at the time, it was right to consider all circumstances.
“But Brother Revelio.”
“uh.”
“How did you come up with the idea of sending Sir Mason back to the palace first?”
Mason, Revelio’s escort knight, said that Caron returned to the palace before the coming-of-age ceremony was even completed.
Revelio gave instructions to Mason.
Rebellio answered, scratching his head with his fingers.
“I wanted Lord Mason to buy time at the Imperial Court. Lord Mason is not affiliated with any organization right now, but he was originally my father’s guardian knight. So even if you are His Highness, you cannot do anything to Lord Mason.”
In the end, it was a great decision.
Because what the Duke of Reston currently lacks is time.
Caron asked Rebelio quietly.
“How much do you trust Sir Mason?”
Then Rebellio answered in a firm voice.
“Would you give your life to Lord Mason?”
“To a mere knight?”
“If it weren’t for Sir Mason, I would have died a long time ago.”
“But why did His Majesty the Emperor give his guardian knight to my brother?”
Revelio shrugged at those words.
“I’ve never thought about it, so I’m not sure. Maybe he wanted to imitate his father?”
“Hmm.”
There are still many hidden stories in the Imperial Family. I don’t know the details, but there must be a reason why the Emperor attached Mason to Revelio.
However, now was not the time to resolve that question. It was time to focus on the task at hand.
‘I told you to mobilize everything that can be mobilized.’
Sir Mason and the Tower.
There are Imperial Guards including Luke.
There are quite a few helpers who will help you with this mission.
Whatever the royal family is up to, it won’t go as they want.
Charon and his party froze diligently forward, checking the plan once more.
How much time has passed like that?
At last the outer walls of the capital came into view.
“On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be any particular problem.”
As Caron muttered to himself, Leon, who was next to him, said something.
“You never know until you look inside.”
“That’s a very good posture, Sister Leon. Everyone should follow Sister Leon’s example.”
Charon smacked his lips as he looked out over the capital’s walls.
“This is already my third visit to the capital.”
The first is the Emperor’s invitation.
The second is an invitation from the Academy.
This was already my third visit, but the purpose of this visit was different from the previous two.
This time, I got permission from my family to run wild.
“First of all, we should take care of the media that disparages our agency.”
So, Charon planned to storm the capital without hesitation.
“Let’s turn it over and turn it upside down.”
The rest of the group shuddered at Caron’s words.
Because I witnessed the madness flowing from Charon’s eyes.
“I’m so excited right now. What should I do, Leo?”
“Just shut up and walk forward.”
“It’s a historic day. Everyone applaud.”
An unleashed mad dog drooled as it looked at the capital.
It was the moment when disaster struck the capital.
There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
