Episode 48 15. There’s a lot to eat at the famous feast (2)

3.

Leo noticed that Charon’s expression had hardened.

I feel alive in Caron.

That murderous face I saw when the train was attacked.

The sea of ​​Charon was surging more violently than before. The hostility that Charon was spewing out made me break out in a cold sweat without me realizing it.

‘What are you thinking, you punk?’

A banquet hosted by the royal family.

To cause trouble here would mean to drive the imperial authority to its lowest ebb.

So Leo put his arm around Charon’s shoulder and said,

“Caron. Guests are coming. We have to welcome them.”

Did the effort pay off even a little?

The life force flowing out of Caron’s body stopped for a moment. And after a while, Caron answered with a smile.

“Thank you, bro. If it weren’t for you, I would have made a mistake.”

The bitter hostility is covered with a smile.

Charon looked ahead, skillfully hiding his expression.

Just now, the group came here due to Revelio’s provocation.

At the very front of the group sat a nobleman with a leisurely expression.

“Your Majesty the Sixth Prince, it’s been a while.”

A nobleman who greets with a soft voice.

Revelio waved his hand lightly towards him.

“Karim of the Marquis Diaz family. It’s been a while.”

“It seems like nothing has changed, Your Majesty.”

“I always try to be consistent, don’t you? Oh, and say hello to each other. Leo Reston, Caron Reston. This is Karim from the Marquis Diaz.”

One of the coup d’etats, Marquis Diaz.

A powerful family that divides the current central political world.

Unlike the Reston Dukes, who are still headed by Halo, the previous Marquis Diaz, who had joined the rebellion, passed the family to his son.

Karim is the third son of the current Marquis of Diaz.

‘I’m nineteen years old.’

It is a name that was in the information I received from Jeras in advance.

Caron smiled faintly as he recalled the information about Karim. Then he extended his hand towards the other person.

“This is Caron Reston.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Karim Diaz.”

Karim smiled and took the hand that Caron offered him. But after a while, he felt a strange sense of discomfort.

Although Charon was looking at him and smiling, his mind seemed to be somewhere else.

A face that seems to be thinking deeply about something.

‘You have no manners.’

Etiquette between nobles begins with focusing on the other person. However, the other person was only focusing on him and did not show any signs of concentration.

I heard he was the youngest grandson of Grand Duke Halo, but I never thought he would be this rude when we first met.

Isn’t the Duke of Reston the most prestigious family in the Empire?

‘Is it something you can’t help because he’s young?’

Just as Karim was about to show his displeasure, Leo, who was next to Caron, smiled and spoke to Karim.

“I’m Leo Reston. Karim Diaz. Don’t feel bad. When Caron gets stuck in one place, he’s the type to focus on that.”

“Oh, I see.”

“I have heard many stories about the Marquis Diaz from my father. I hope we can become good friends in the future.”

Still, this seems to make sense.

Karim turned his gaze to look at Leo.

“On behalf of my father, I would like to thank the heroes of the Duke of Reston. You defeated the bandits, right? It is indeed the Duke of Reston.”

“We just did what we had to do.”

Just as the friendly atmosphere was about to continue for a moment, Revelio, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, began to interrupt.

“It seems that Grand Duke Halo really cares about the Empire. The nobles of the capital are busy shutting themselves away in the capital and licking their lips at the power.”

The blatant insults continue.

Karim barely swallowed the anger boiling inside him.

6th Prince.

A shallow person with no sense of manners, as befitting a man of commoner blood.

Why would a guy who would normally be hanging out with the maids in the palace come out here?

‘It’s obvious.’

This guy is like a cockroach.

I know how to survive in this palace.

This guy has clearly come to line up with the Duke of Reston. He’s a bastard with an excellent survival instinct.

But will it really work out the way he wants?

There is no way that the people of the Duke of Reston would not know about the 6th Prince.

Especially, just look at the reaction of the guy named Caron who is making a disgusted expression next to him.

There was no way the Duke of Reston would have reached out to the 6th Prince. They would have supported another prince instead of lending their power to Banpun.

“Your Highness the Sixth Prince is always speaking rudely. As a member of the royal family, I think it would be better to show a little more courtesy.”

So, I’ll show you here.

To the young children of the Duke of Reston, how great is the power of the Marquis Diaz.

That a prince who is rejected by the royal family can be suppressed by authority at any time.

Who is the real power behind this banquet hall?

“Father said that it was hard to see His Majesty looking upset whenever he heard the story of the 6th Prince.”

“The Marquis Diaz is truly kind. He cares about other people’s households. This makes me think that my father has a good subject.”

“Please consider this advice as coming from the heart. You, 6th Prince, do not want to be a nuisance to His Highness the Crown Prince, do you?”

“Well, I guess you’ll hear about His Majesty the King. This is a real hit, Karim Diaz. I can’t help being a stickler. You know my mother is a commoner, right? Haha!”

At those words, the other noble children around them raised the corners of their lips.

There is no one on the 6th prince’s side in the banquet hall.

No, you won’t find it even if you search the entire imperial family.

Karim looked at Leo with a satisfied smile and spoke in a soft voice.

“If you don’t mind, how about hanging out with us? This is my first time meeting the children of the Duke of Reston, and I have a lot to ask you.”

Reach out to them.

Now that we’ve shown them who the real power is here, they’ll naturally take our hand.

Although they are said to be the children of the Duke of Reston, they are still young children.

You can’t help but get caught up in the atmosphere.

‘We could also hold him accountable for what he did to de Gaulle.’

Everything seemed to be going according to plan.

But that was then.

“Your Highness the Sixth Prince.”

Caron, who had been quiet until now, opened his mouth. Then Revelio answered with a smile.

“What’s the matter, Caron Reston?”

“The 6th Prince has no talent for acting either. He’s really the worst. Let’s just be comfortable like usual.”

“Oh, really? Oh, my mother wasn’t a good actress either. Instead, I’m good at growing flowers.”

“I guess that’s why my head is like a flower garden.”

“Oh, really?”

Things started to go strangely.

Karim frowned for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and asked with a smile.

“Have you two been friends before? Um, since when… … .”

At those words, Caron said with a deep frown.

“Hey. You’ve been babbling and babbling all this time. You’re really talking too much. Shut your mouth. I’m thinking right now.”

A sudden outburst of verbal abuse.

Karim couldn’t believe his ears.

“… … What did you just say?”

“Shut up.”

“Even though you are the grandson of Grand Duke Halo… … .”

But Karim’s words did not last long.

Srrrrrr.

Because Charon pulled the guillotine out of its scabbard.

The moment the dark blue sword was pulled out of its scabbard, everyone in the banquet hall held their breath.

Even Karim, who had been talking nonstop until just a moment ago, closed his mouth with a pale face.

Caron said, clutching the guillotine in his hand.

“I was thinking of just letting it go today, but no matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t seem right. Your Highness, could you seal off this place for a little while??”

Rebelio smiled as if he found those words amusing.

“What are you thinking?”

“Black magic. There’s a rat with black magic hiding here.”

Even though he had never thought of this, Rebellio answered without being flustered.

“Oh, this is news that would make Grandfather wake up in his coffin if he heard it. But how many detection spells are there in the palace… … . This time, it’s a bit hard to believe.”

After the Emperor was dethroned, the imperial family set up a thorough defensive magic circle to cut off all ties with the Demon Race.

They even regularly imported holy water from the Sacred Kingdom in the far south and used it to build fortresses throughout the palace.

It was hard to believe that such thorough defenses could be breached.

But at that moment, a possibility flashed through Revelio’s mind.

‘It’s possible if there are collaborators within the palace.’

As Revelio was quickly thinking, Caron’s voice rang out.

“Whose grandson am I?”

At those words, Revelio took out a wand from inside his shirt. Then he nodded obediently.

First of all, cooperation came first.

If there is a being with black magic as Charon said, that alone will turn the palace upside down.

“The bottle to the doctor. The devil to the Duke of Reston. That’s the advice Lord Mason always gave. Okay, what do I do?”

“Don’t let anyone get out of here.”

“It’s a difficult task beyond my ability… … . Well, there is a way.”

A small crystal ball popped out of Revelio’s pocket.

Rebellio skillfully shattered the crystal ball with his wand. Then.

Wooooow-!

Magical power enveloped the entire banquet hall.

“An illusionary magic artifact that my sister gave me to use when my life is in danger. It lasts about 10 minutes? The Imperial Guards outside will probably notice after that. Oh, this is expensive, so I’ll definitely charge you for it. Got it?”

The only one laughing here was Revelio.

Jiiiiiiiiing-!

Charon looked around while infusing magical power into the guillotine’s blade.

And he said in a voice as cold as ice.

“Ten minutes is enough.”

Can you just pass by after discovering the black magic?

“I’m sure Grandpa will understand this.”

Charon’s hostility boiled over.

4.

I was out of breath.

Karim couldn’t even move a finger as he watched Caron walk through the banquet hall.

I don’t know why, but sweat is pouring down my entire body.

My head was screaming at me to run away, but my body wouldn’t follow its orders.

My mouth didn’t even move.

A terrifyingly terrifying aura was emanating from the body of that little boy.

‘What is this situation?’

I couldn’t understand it at all.

Why did the youngest son of the Duke of Reston draw his sword at the banquet hall?

And how did that filthy 6th prince cast magic?

But he couldn’t let his doubts out loud.

If I uttered even a single word, it felt as if that sword would cut off my neck.

It’s not just the sword.

The thing he was truly afraid of was that boy.

It was terrifyingly scary not knowing what he was thinking.

‘Why the Imperial Guard!’

If things had come to this, the Imperial Guard waiting outside should have stepped in.

But no one entered the banquet hall.

“This is the happiest moment for me since I entered the palace.”

Charon’s voice echoed throughout the banquet hall.

“Honestly, I was thinking of beating up a few people today as an example. It seemed like the other nobles had forgotten what kind of family ours is.”

Caron continued walking forward.

Crack, crack.

The sound of his shoes hitting the floor resonated regularly.

“I didn’t think the people in the palace would welcome us. But… … .”

Booooooooooo-!

Charon’s body was shot forward, and at the same time, the guillotine’s eerie blade flashed.

“There was someone who welcomed us. Oh, it wasn’t a person.”

The place Charon arrived at was a table located in the corner of the banquet hall.

A woman wearing a mask stood in front of the table.

She was smiling beneath a mask that covered her nose and eyes.

“Oh my. You caught me?”

Srrrrrrrr.

The guillotine stopped just short of her neck.

Blood began to flow from the neck that was in contact with the sword.

“Gyaaaaaaah!”

A scream burst out from the mouths of the princesses who had been watching the scene with bated breath.

But Caron paid no attention and glared at the woman in front of him.

Even at this moment, a smile appeared on her lips.

“I came here out of curiosity. It’s not often you get a chance to see Halo’s bloodlines outside of Cheonghaesung. Do you know how anxious I was, wondering if you would notice my signal?”

She took off the mask she was wearing.

It seemed that the mask had a built-in function to hide black magic, because the moment he took it off, black magic began to spread out at a rapid rate.

And at the same time, a dazzlingly beautiful appearance was revealed.

A beautiful appearance that makes it impossible for anyone to take their eyes off her.

But Charon already knew that it was nothing more than an illusion.

An illusion created by the black magic flowing out of her body.

The moment you are captivated by that illusion, your soul is stolen.

“Caron Reston. You are so pretty.”

A moment later, her long, white fingers tried to caress Charon’s face.

Crunch.

Charon swung his sword and cut off her head. Then he spoke in a cold voice.

“On the topic of vulgar dream girl.”

Then the ‘head’ that had fallen to the floor answered.

“What a lovely child.”

After a while.

Saaaaaaaaaaah-!

Black magic began to spurt out of her head like a fountain.

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