Episode 47 15. There’s a lot to eat at the famous feast

One.

As evening came, preparations for the full-scale banquet began.

Charon and Leo were quickly going through a transformation-like makeover with the assistance of attendants dispatched by the imperial family.

The servants carefully ironed the evening gowns that the Duke’s butlers had sent to the palace in advance, and skillfully dressed them both.

There are even accessories and simple makeup.

In just 30 minutes, the two became different people.

“… … Isn’t this a bit of a scam?”

Leo looked at his reflection in the mirror with a puzzled expression.

In the mirror, standing there was not a country bumpkin with sunburned skin, but a nobleman from a prestigious family.

“Anyone can tell that this is a noble man.”

Caron responded to Leo’s words with a snicker.

“You are a nobleman, aren’t you?”

“At this level, I wouldn’t be embarrassed to go anywhere… … .”

But Leo’s confidence was quickly dashed the moment he saw Caron.

“……ha.”

Leo sighs as if the ground is collapsing.

In response to Leo’s reaction, Caron said while chewing on the jerky.

“why.”

“Because I felt like the world was really unfair.”

“That’s just how the world is.”

“What an unlucky kid… … .”

Well-maintained, shiny blonde hair.

Plus, her blue eyes sparkle like jewels.

Even though he was only thirteen, he had a handsome physique and skin as white as jade.

The power of makeup added to her perfect appearance was enough to make people onlookers exclaim in admiration.

No matter how much I thought about it, the world was definitely an unfair place.

‘But my personality… is better.’

Leo was somehow comforted.

While the two cousins ​​were busy preparing the banquet, a guest came to the palace where they were staying.

“The 6th Prince is entering.”

Soon a man dressed nicely entered the palace, accompanied by the voices of the servants.

A familiar face.

It was the 6th prince, Revelio.

“I think the make-up is almost done, but would you mind leaving for a moment? I would like to have a comfortable chat with my friends.”

The servants bowed to the prince’s unreasonable request. Then they all left the palace.

Revelio took a bite of the apple on the table. Then he looked at Caron and Leo and smiled.

“How have you been, brothers?”

Revelio’s attire was completely different from when we met outside.

Shirt with gold embroidery and gold frills.

A pair of luxurious suit pants with a hint of magic.

The top two buttons of the shirt Rebellio was wearing were undone.

Caron complimented the sight.

“He’s a total scoundrel. Is this the original concept in the palace?”

“The raw fish I brought from home. How is it? Does it suit you well?”

“Better than last time.”

Rebellio took another bite of the apple with a smile. Then he examined the apple here and there.

Caron, who was watching the scene, frowned and asked.

“What are you doing?”

“I tried it myself to see if it was poisonous or not. Unfortunately, it wasn’t poisonous. It was delicious. I liked how sweet it was.”

“poison?”

“My father may not know, but my older brother really hates the Duke of Reston. Well… … It’s only natural, since my maternal family is the Marquis of Diaz.”

Whoosh whoosh.

Revelio, who had burned the apple cleanly with magic, looked at Charon and Leo. Then, he soon clapped his hands with a satisfied expression.

“You should have dressed up like this a long time ago. You look like the stars of today’s banquet. If I were a woman, I would have confessed right away.”

“You didn’t come to the banquet just to get hit, did you?”

“Oh, I came to ask you something. Just a moment, Caron.”

He winked at Charon, then took a small stick out of his pocket.

A small stick that gives off traces of magical power.

It was a wand that concentrated the magic power of wizards.

Revelio swung his wand lightly while skillfully chanting the spell.

OK.

Woof woof woof.

A thin, translucent membrane rose from the floor.

“It’s a soundproofing spell. I’m afraid it would be a bit troublesome if the story leaked out.”

What on earth are you trying to say?

Caron looked at Revelio with an unpleasant expression. However, Revelio ignored him and got straight to the point.

“Who was in the main palace? Father? Or your older brother, Your Highness?”

It seems that the purpose of coming here, rather than to the banquet hall, was here.

It seemed as if he had guessed that it was the crown prince, not the emperor, who had come to the palace.

‘What is their intention?’

It seemed necessary to throw out some bait.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

Then Revelio nodded and clapped his hands.

“I knew it.”

“I heard that His Majesty the Emperor is not feeling well.”

“How could an old woman in her seventies be in good health? Even so, she recently met Grand Duke Halo in person, but she didn’t greet you in person… …. Your Majesty must have been trying hard.”

Caron threw a hint at Revelio, who was mumbling to himself.

“Do you know something?”

Then Rebelio answered with a big smile.

“Didn’t you get the idea? It’s easy.”

Revelio sat down on the empty sofa and continued speaking with an even brighter smile.

“In the past, my father sent my grandfather away, and now His Majesty the King is trying to send my father away. Wow, when I think about it this way, this is… .”

“It tastes delicious.”

“That’s right. It’s the Konggaru family. This is also a long-standing tradition of the royal family. Isn’t our family amazing? Feel free to envy us as much as you want.”

He laughed at himself with such a bright face.

“Caron. You speak up quickly. If you gossip about someone together, you become close.”

“If you curse my grandfather first, I’ll think about it.”

At those words, Rebelio burst out laughing.

“Hahahaha! I told you he’s really funny, right? Isn’t that right, Leo? Laugh too, Leo!”

As he said that, he hit Leo’s back twice with his palm. Then he wiped away the tears that were streaming down his eyes with his fingers.

“Your Majesty the King, you brat… … . Ah, sorry about that. Anyway, Your Majesty the King is using dragons these days, but it won’t be easy.”

Revelio.

Compared to Crown Prince Iorn, this guy is several times more dangerous.

At least there was ambition in Ioren’s eyes.

But what about this guy?

I can’t see anything. I don’t know what on earth they’re up to.

“Thank you, my curiosity has been somewhat resolved. Thank you. You were a great help to me. This time, I owe you something, so I should repay you, right?”

He said so and stood up from his seat.

“I heard that you destroyed the Count Kiel’s bastard as soon as you entered the capital. I think I have a rough idea of ​​what you want. So, I thought I’d help you out a bit.”

Caron looked at Revelio with a calm expression.

“How can I help you?”

“A successful debut stage.”

“what?”

“You want to make a mess, right? I’ll set the stage for you. What do you think?”

I’m not sure what you’re thinking, but this much is certain.

This guy is of the same species.

Crazy guy.

That guy is seriously crazy.

“It’s normal for crazy people to recognize each other. Don’t refuse, Caron.”

Revelio smiled playfully and began to tell his plan.

2.

The banquet began shortly after Revelio left the palace.

A banquet hall so large that it shows the grandeur of the imperial family.

The banquet hall, filled with all sorts of extravagant decorations, including a gorgeous chandelier, was filled with many young men and women.

“… … Is this a banquet?”

Leo looked around with a very nervous expression.

There were more than a hundred people seated throughout the spacious banquet hall.

They were all noblemen and princesses, at best, around Leo’s age.

“In the past, even if we called it a banquet, it was just a small meal among family members… … .”

“That’s because my family is a military family, hyung. Usually, this is true. It’s a place where nobles can socialize.”

“Are we too country bumpkins?”

“You’re the only country bumpkin.”

Charon smirked at Leo and lifted the glass in front of him.

But the good thing about the banquet is that you don’t have to worry about what other people think when you drink, like you do when you’re at Cheonghae Castle.

As it was a banquet hosted directly by the royal family, very precious liquors were placed everywhere.

“Hmm.”

Caron looked around with his drink in his mouth.

The noble children invited here are all children of prestigious families.

The very act of staying within the inner castle meant that one belonged to a noble family of high status.

Is that why?

Even a cursory glance showed that there were divisions within it.

“The kids only learned bad things.”

It was a familiar sight.

The banquet I experienced 50 years ago was also like this.

They gathered around the successful nobles, and ignored or laughed at anyone who did not belong to the group.

‘Still, it’s better than my previous life.’

In his previous life, whenever he attended a banquet, he would be met with looks of disgust.

Because he was of slave origin.

But now?

“My face is going to be worn out.”

It attracts attention regardless of gender.

The noblemen looked at them with caution, and the noblewomen looked at them with curiosity.

They also know who the main character is here.

This banquet is a celebration of new heroes.

Besides, if those new heroes are the grandsons of the Halo Duke, anyone can’t help but pay attention.

Caron took in the gazes blandly and swallowed his drink.

How much time has passed like that?

“The 6th Prince is entering! Everyone, please be polite.”

The Imperial Guard guarding the banquet hall shouted in a solemn voice, and soon Revelio entered the banquet hall with a smile.

“Haha, many distinguished guests have gathered. This is food prepared by His Majesty the Father, so please eat plenty. Enjoy!”

The expressions of the noble children began to distort at the appearance of Rebellio, who still acted like a thug.

A vulgar tone and demeanor that lacks even a hint of imperial dignity.

Because everything about Revelio was getting on their nerves.

But Revelio ignored the disgusted stares and approached the table where Caron and Leo were. Then, he immediately extended his right hand toward Caron.

“This is our first official meeting, so let’s just say hello, Duke of Reston. I am the 6th Prince, Revelio. You have a very nice physiognomy.”

A greeting without any formality.

In response to the greeting, Caron and Leo bowed their heads politely.

“I am Leo Reston, grandson of Grand Duke Halo.”

“I am Charon Reston, grandson of Grand Duke Halo.”

Revelio, who had been greeted by the two brothers, laughed so loudly that the banquet hall shook. Then, he quickly drank the glass that Charon had placed on the table.

“Haha! I originally planned to just hang out in my palace, but I heard some interesting rumors. I just couldn’t stay still. I wonder if you’re not happy about me attending the banquet.”

It was a clever performance.

His playful demeanor was not much different from before, but Revelio exuded a superficiality that made it hard to believe he was from royalty.

Caron followed Rebelio’s lead and smiled.

“I am very happy that the 6th Prince has graced this occasion.”

Revelio smiled darkly, almost vilely, at Charon’s reply. Then he continued speaking loudly enough for everyone in the banquet hall to hear.

“Is it true that you beat up De Gaulle of the Countess of Kian?”

In an instant, a cold silence descended upon the banquet hall.

Those who were quick to catch on already knew about it, but it was a rumor that they were trying to keep quiet about.

Behind Count Kian, there is Marquis Diaz, one of the real powers in the current empire.

The Marquis Diaz family is the maternal family of the Crown Prince.

Among the founding fathers, it was a powerful family that had continued to exert influence in central politics and even had its own private army.

What about the 6th Prince on the other hand?

I have nothing but bloodline.

Even that bloodline is half.

Caron remembered what Revelio had said earlier.

The reason why Revelio was ignored here for a long time.

A prince of commoner birth.

A royal pet with half commoner blood.

Such a being was insulting a child from a prestigious family in an official setting.

“Hehe, this isn’t my place to say, but I thought that that bastard would get his ass kicked someday. There are scum everywhere who only believe in their own bloodline and look down on the commoners.”

The atmosphere at the banquet becomes cold and even tense.

In that situation, Rebellio looked to one side of the banquet hall and snickered.

“Those who only trust and follow their father will eventually be struck by a sword and die. Everyone bleeds red when they are cut by a sword. Oh! Of course, I am no exception to that, right? Haha!”

As those words came out of Revelio’s mouth, a group that had been quiet until then began to approach.

Charon smiled as he watched them approaching him.

‘Yeah, a banquet should be this bloody and fun.’

So far it’s just an appetizer.

It seemed like the main dish was about to begin.

It was around this time that Charon was watching those approaching with a satisfied expression.

Woof woof woof.

The guillotine on his waist began to vibrate, and Charon’s expression hardened coldly.

Before he knew it, Charon’s hand was on the guillotine’s handle. And naturally, the guillotine’s voice echoed in his head.

-master.

‘I felt it too.’

It was only a fleeting moment, but I felt it clearly.

‘… …black magic.’

Just now, someone here was channeling black magic.

The energy that Caron hates so much.

That cursed magic that turned his life upside down.

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