7.
Leo immediately checked Charon’s condition.
The amount of bleeding was severe.
“Priest! Hurry up, priest-.”
As he was desperately trying to find the priest, Revelio quickly approached from behind and took out a small bottle from his bosom. Then, he immediately poured the liquid inside the bottle into Charon’s mouth.
“This is faster than the priest.”
“This…….”
“The dew of the world tree. Very expensive. Ha, I was going to use this when I was about to die… … My little brother is really taking all my savings.”
The liquid seemed to have had an effect, as Charon, who had been lying down, opened his eyes again.
Charon’s gaze turned to Leo.
Leo’s expression was thick with guilt, but now was not the time to offer comfort.
That’s why Charon spoke to Leo in a firm voice.
“Brother Leo. From now on, listen carefully to what I say.”
“Your body first… … .”
“Contact Grandpa quickly. This time, I almost died in the palace.”
Caron let out a labored breath and smiled faintly.
“I’ve come to this point, and my grandfather is going to come himself. This is not a problem we should be involved in anymore. The situation has gotten too big.”
A member of the Reston Dukes was attacked at a banquet hosted by the palace.
That too to Mongma.
This wasn’t a problem that could just be overlooked.
The Duke of Reston and the Imperial Family.
Moreover, it was a major event that shook the entire empire.
“You’re saying that this has never happened in 50 years? Isn’t that right, Your Highness?”
“The problem with black magic was the imperial family’s reverse scale. You’re right.”
Rebellio nodded in agreement.
Charon took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.
A huge magical power was stirring inside his body. It seemed as if Revelio had fed him something.
“By the way, what did you feed me?”
“Dew of the World Tree.”
“… … Crazy. Where did this come from.”
“Of course, my older sister took care of it for me. She invested everything for you. Let’s pay the bill later. Okay?”
Dew of the World Tree.
It was a liquid that only elves could obtain, and it was an incredible elixir that gave knights and wizards a huge amount of magical power.
Now that communication with the elves has been cut off, it was one of the things that could not be obtained even for a billion dollars.
A precious treasure that I have never tasted in my past life.
Who would have thought that he would use so sparingly that treasure that could even revive a person on the verge of death?
Caron frowned and looked at Revelio.
“Did you really get hit once?”
“If you want to hold the line properly, you have to do this much.”
I ate something so precious.
If Revelio hadn’t given me the dew of the World Tree, I might have spent quite a long time healing the magic passage.
The aftereffects of forcibly opening up 5 stars are beyond imagination.
However, the magical passages that were almost cut off just a moment ago were now recovering.
If I could properly absorb this magical power, it seemed like I would be able to control the newly created fifth sea without difficulty.
“I’ll tell Grandpa.”
“Of course it should be like that.”
I was very lucky.
Even if you just practice magic power in this state, you will become incomparably stronger than before.
Just as Caron was about to get up from his seat with a smile, Leo squeezed him hard.
“What are you going to do?”
“I need to train.”
“We’ll take care of the training ourselves, so just get some rest.”
“I’m really fine. There’s no problem at all. I’ll take care of it, so you go contact Grandpa quickly.”
This guy was unconscious from bleeding just a moment ago.
Rest comes first, no matter what.
Even though he was recovering with the dew of the World Tree, he had to be taken to a doctor and a priest.
“You are a patient.”
“No, I’m saying I’m not a patient-.”
That was when.
Paaaaaaaaaaah-!
Someone hit the back of Caron’s neck with a wooden stick.
A wooden stick with a magic stone embedded in it.
… … Revelio’s Wand.
Caron turned his head and looked at Revelio.
“What is this now… … .”
“Hey, when your brothers tell you to rest, listen carefully. You don’t listen at all.”
“you you-.”
But Caron’s words did not last long.
Paaaaak.
dump.
I lost consciousness once again after being attacked by Rebelio again.
Revelio sighed as he wiped the wand with his shirt.
“You’re not going to go to the same room, are you? You damn rascal.”
Leo, who had been blankly watching the scene, spoke in a trembling voice.
“Your Majesty. What are you doing…?”
Rebelio answered with a bright smile.
“The patient needs to rest. I’ll put some strengthening magic on the wand and hit him. It’s better to knock these guys out and then treat them.”
“No, Your Highness. Will you be able to handle it when she wakes up?”
“That’s none of my business. By the time he wakes up, Grand Duke Halo will have arrived at the palace. Surely he’s here and he’s going to attack me?”
It was a truly shocking way of thinking.
Leo stuck out his tongue as he looked at Revelio’s shameless face.
After all, the natural enemy of a crazy person is another crazy person.
Leo sighed deeply and asked Rebelio.
“It will take quite some time to get here from Cheonghae Castle… … With Caron’s resilience, he will probably come to his senses before then. Your Highness. You should run away before then.”
“My little brother Leo is worried about me too… … I’m a little touched. How about you stop Caron instead?”
“Rather than stopping this guy, wouldn’t it be more realistic to stop the train?”
“Haha. That’s right. But don’t worry too much, Leo. The news has probably already reached the Duke of Reston.”
Revelio pulled up a chair next to him and sat down.
And then she continued explaining to Leo in a soft voice.
“There is a treaty between the Imperial Family and the Duke of Reston. It is a treaty that is automatically activated when dark magic is discovered in the Imperial Family… … It’s a bit complicated to explain in detail, so I’ll explain it more simply.”
An agreement made between the current emperor and the Duke of Reston after the dethronement of the evil emperor.
The gist of the agreement is simple.
The moment traces of dark magic are discovered in the Imperial Palace, the Duke of Reston will be permitted to intervene in the Imperial Palace.
“By now, the magicians of the Magic Tower will have activated the teleportation magic circle connecting Cheonghae Castle and the Imperial Palace. It will take some time, as the magic circle has not been activated even once in 50 years… … . At the latest, an hour. Archduke Halo will appear in person at the Imperial Palace within an hour.”
“If there was such a magic circle, there would have been no need to take the train to come here, right?”
“Brother Leo. The magic circle that connects Cheonghae Castle and the Imperial Palace costs an astronomical amount of money just to maintain. It’s not something you can use freely even on a regular basis.”
Rebellio finished his simple explanation and smiled faintly.
“So from now on, Leo, you have to explain things well.”
Leo’s eyes widened at the sudden words.
“what…….”
“Be sure to tell Grand Duke Halo that I fed Charon the dew of the World Tree.”
“yes?”
That was when.
“Your Highness the Sixth Prince.”
The Imperial Guards and the magicians of the tower slowly approached.
An ominous atmosphere.
Revelio waved his hand lightly at them.
“I expected it. So, what is the charge?”
Luke, a member of the Imperial Guard, looked down at the 6th Prince with a cold expression.
“I received a report that the 6th Prince used magic. Is it true?”
“that’s right.”
“Then you have been hiding the fact that you have learned magic until now. I don’t think you didn’t know that members of the royal family are not allowed to learn magic.”
Imperial guards approached slowly, holding ropes.
The wizards were also ready to cast their spells at any moment.
“Sixth Prince Rebellio. You are under arrest as a suspect in connection with this attack.”
“What kind of nonsense is that, Sir Luke!”
Leo raised his voice.
But Luke still answered with a cold expression.
“This is a strictly Imperial Guard event. Please do not interfere.”
“There’s no way the 6th Prince would do that… … .”
“Ah, it’s okay, little brother Leo. I expected that.”
Revelio raised his hand to stop Leo. Then he looked at Luke with a smile.
“Your Majesty, are you going to come out like this? You are too petty. I’ll tell you in advance, I am absolutely innocent.”
“We can’t easily trust someone who has hidden the fact that he has mastered magic.”
“Haha, that’s funny. Where is Lord Mason?”
“Sir Mason will also be summoned for questioning.”
“You dare?”
Rebellio stood up from his seat with a smile.
And then he said it while looking at Luke’s face.
“I’ll go on my own two feet. I don’t need a rope.”
“… … Please do so.”
He ran a hand through his black hair and winked his right eye at Leo.
“You must do me a favor, Brother Leo. My bet is over. Now it’s the Duke of Reston’s turn. Then I’ll go first. See you later. Sir Luke? Let’s go.”
So Revelio was led out of the banquet hall, surrounded by Imperial Guards.
Leo bit his lip as he watched Revelio’s back as he walked away.
Things are getting complicated.
Even if it was Caron, it was a burdensome situation for him to handle.
That’s why Leo carried the unconscious Charon on his back.
‘Caron’s recovery comes first.’
Where should I take Caron?
Leo’s troubled eyes soon caught sight of a female knight.
A pale-faced knight standing behind the Imperial Guards.
As soon as he saw her, Leo pointed to her with his hand and said.
“Miss Amy, come here for a moment.”
As Amy was about to step forward at Leo’s call, one of the Imperial Guards standing in front stopped her. Then he spoke in a low voice.
“She has not yet been knighted. She is not fit to serve the young masters, so I will serve her myself.”
What decision would Caron make in this situation?
Leo was able to make a decision without difficulty.
Someone here could be behind this incident. Even the Imperial Guard, as we learned in Thebes, cannot be completely trusted.
Therefore, you should give priority to choosing someone you know.
“I will take care of it.”
“but…….”
“… … I told you I’ll do it myself?”
Only after Leo frowned and spoke did the knight step back.
Leo simply stepped back from the Imperial Guard and looked at Amy.
“Miss Amy, could you please give me directions?”
“I will guide you to where the priest is.”
“Thank you. This guy is over the critical moment, but he needs to be treated quickly first.”
Amy nodded at Leo’s words and checked Charon’s condition.
A body that is hard to find a holy place in.
The clothes he was wearing were already soaked in blood.
“Then, this way.”
“yes.”
Leo started running after Amy.
‘I must protect Caron until my grandfather comes.’
Even though we couldn’t fight together, I will protect Caron from now on.
Seeeek.
As Leo started running through the palace, he could hear Charon’s breathing in his ears.
8.
Woof woof woof.
This is a moving magic circle located in the palace garden.
The crown prince stood in the garden, waiting for guests to arrive.
The magicians of the Magic Tower have joined forces to activate the magic circle, and the guests will arrive soon.
He took a deep breath and looked at the magic circle.
After a while, the wizards’ voices rang out.
“Connection completed.”
“The moving magic circle is in good condition.”
“The magic circle on the Cheonghae Castle side is activated!”
Paaaaaaaaaaah-!
A pure white light surged above the magic circle, and soon the light created a huge door.
Large moving magic circle.
Through that magic circle, people began to cross over from Cheonghae Castle one by one.
The first to arrive at the palace were the Knights of Haerang, including Jeras.
The vanguard of the Knights of Haerang, thoroughly armed, walked out of the magic circle.
The Crown Prince and the Imperial Guards watched the scene and swallowed.
Their momentum was extraordinary.
It looks like it’s going to scare you right now.
In particular, the presence of the 8-star knight, Jeras, was breathtaking.
But not everyone had arrived yet.
The master of that sea knight order, the great hero of the empire, has not yet come here.
The crown prince stared at the magic circle with his lips pursed.
“The lord is coming. All hands, in formation.”
As soon as Jeras gave the order, the Knights of the Sea moved in unison and formed an escort formation.
And after a while.
Paaaaaaaaaaah-!
A man slowly walked out of the magic circle.
An old knight wearing blue armor.
The wrinkles on his face and his white hair told us that he was old, but no one present could take him for just any old man.
Overwhelming magical power emanating from his massive physique.
It proves that he is the strongest man of the present age.
‘Halo… … Reston.’
The crown prince looked at the empire’s greatest hero with eyes full of fear.
A presence that is so breathtaking that it almost makes you stop breathing.
A monster that transcends human limitations.
That’s the guy, Halo Reston.
Even though he had to offer a welcoming greeting, the crown prince couldn’t even open his mouth.
Halo strode towards the crown prince. Then, looking down at him, he spoke.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince, I believe you are aware that this is not a situation where you can be polite.”
“… … Halo Archduke.”
“The Duke of Reston promises to deal with the villains who have invaded the palace in accordance with the treaty we have made with the Imperial Family. But before that.”
Halo, looking down at the crown prince, spoke in a low voice.
“I have to take care of my grandchildren first. I hope you won’t complain.”
A voice filled with fierce anger resonated in all directions.
There’s a mad dog living in the duke’s house
