Clap.
A pure white plate was placed on the table. On the plate was a shield ice cap that was smoking steam. The delicious scent stimulated the olfactory center.
The attendant who served the ice cap said.
“The gentleman over there calculated it.”
The table across from the servant pointed to. Javilon, a large man, was sitting there. He must have been aware of this gaze, so he narrowed one eye and smiled.
The moment I saw it, I realized.
‘…Oh, I’m having a dog dream.’
So, I’m still in a dazed state. As an aftereffect of becoming gigantic, he must be enjoying 120 hours of full-time sleep. In the meantime, you’ll be enjoying this crazy dream.
‘Is this a lucid dream?’
I looked away. I looked at the strangely swaying dreamscape. The Javilon on the table across from me was a sight to behold. The top was a colorful Hawaiian shirt, the bottom was pink shorts and slippers. However, he was wearing a space suit helmet on his head.
But Javilon was just a medicine.
Kwaaaaaa!
Suddenly, the sound of a helicopter rang out at the party. When I looked up, I saw Queen Verfaros, a giant wasp the size of an elephant, performing suspended flight. Someone on its back jumped down. It was Princess Adeline.
She came over and pecked my cheek, morning drama style! I hit it.
“It’s a celebratory bread that reduces the growth of dull thoughts. Congratulations on winning the double circle.”
“…omg.”
“And this is the bill.”
“….”
Writing appeared in real time on the 10-meter long bill she held out. But the content was unusual.
It was a proper explanation of the vague state of mind.
[Skill name: Dark Heart]
[Level: Double Circle Lv.1]
[Mana amplification rate: 400%]
[Your Dark Heart skill grade has increased.]
[Circle slots are strengthened as the skill grade increases.]
‘. ..what?’
While I was in my dream with my eyes wide open, the notice continued.
[Skill-only option ?: Circle slot has been strengthened.]
[Your mana circle has a slot function based on its own growth history. As your circle increases to two, the number of slots also increases.]
[?Slot 2? is opened.]
[With the opening of slot 2, the ?Slot Fusion? function is added.]
‘Slot fusion? ‘
This is my first time hearing about this feature.
What is it?
As my heart pounded, an explanation came to mind.
[?Slot fusion? is a function that allows you to mix substances contained in each slot.]
[Example) ‘Water in slot 1’ + ‘Salt in slot 2’ = ‘Salt water’]
[You can do this too. Challenge yourself anytime. Yab-yap-chop-chop, the world’s best cocktail creator!]
“….”
I closed my mouth. Slot fusion. You can freely mix the materials in slots 1 and 2. This is literally…
‘It’s a purchase?’
I thought that if I used it well, it could be extremely fraudulent. However, there was no time to just admire the newly acquired optional features. This was because, out of nowhere, someone put a hand on my shoulder.
“Hey prince.”
An incredibly familiar voice. However, the tone of voice is something I can’t get used to. When I turned around, I saw Sir Gardin with his hand on my shoulder with an arrogant expression on his face. He slightly lifted his chin and looked down at me.
“Mr. Crown Prince? “Why is there no answer?”
“…Lord Gardin, did you eat something wrong?”
“Tsk tsk! “Speech is short?”
“….”
“I ate something wrong. “Don’t you remember that it’s palm time now?”
“….”
“So, slap your forehead.”
Takkong!
Before I had time to reply, Sir Gardin’s chestnut struck my forehead. Even though I knew it was a dream, it was absurd. But there was no chance to counterattack(?).
This was because Sir Gardin’s appearance changed in an instant.
“…Damian.”
Damien, looking this way, does not smile. Does a soul that has erased expressions from its face give that kind of look? Or do the seeds of malice planted in the world by a being of absolute darkness cry like that?
Bloody tears dripping down.
Staring at me with red eyes. Soon, softly, as if chewing his lips.
“What have you done to me?”
“….”
I didn’t do anything.
“What have you done to this world?”
“….”
“Did you know from the beginning?”
“….”
I still can’t answer. I tried to answer, but my mouth was completely sewn up. Sir Gardin suddenly appeared next to me, flashing a suture needle and smiling. Javilon is clinging to my leg and begging. Princess Adeline smiled brightly with only her lips.
And Damien stared at me with bloody tears.
“say it. Did you know?”
“….”
Now I understand.
Those eyes that are now staring at me and shedding bloody tears are not Damian’s. It is the ‘it’ planted inside Damian. So, you are questioning me. What are you planning to do with yourself? Why are you suppressing it? What is your intention?
‘Of course my intention was…’
I tried to answer. I tried to tear off the stitches that sealed my lips. But it was impossible.
Suddenly.
Eerie sounds and sensations. The world tilted. No, my head was cut and fell to the floor.
I belatedly try to open my mouth, but no sound comes out. I just look up with bleary eyes like a fish on a cutting board. I just look at the person who cut off my head.
Damian was there. Damian, who finally awakened ‘it’, cried bitterly. I cried too. The world of my dreams collapsed. The biggest brick fell. They crushed my severed head.
“…Huh!”
Rakiel screamed without realizing it. I suddenly raised my upper body. Immediately after that, I had to enjoy a strong shock to my forehead.
Bah!
“Ugh!”
“Ugh!”
Stars flash before my eyes. Rachiel fell down holding her forehead. The soft bed sheets embraced my entire body. But even though his forehead was tingling, he perked up his ears. The groaning sound coming from the other side that just collided with us was very familiar.
Rachiel rolled her eyes and found her opponent.
“…Damian?”
Just like here, Damian was seen holding his forehead. Did he just suddenly stand up and headbutt me? It seemed like that. The guy was giving me a resentful look through his hand that was holding my forehead.
“….”
I was shocked for a moment by that sight.
I remembered the dream I had just now. Moments that were too vivid to be a dream and too eerie to be reality. At the same time, the events before I fainted came to mind all at once.
‘Yes, that’s right. To block Javilon’s final move, I ate red sunflower seeds, grew big, and passed out afterwards. But Damian…’
Reversa’s mind had been awakened. Reversa, the evil magician of reverse blood. It was Damian’s unique mental method and the first step of awakening in the novel, the Demon Sword Emperor, the strongest and most vicious.
Then now….
‘This guy isn’t in an awakened state, is he?’
Damian’s eyes are glaring in this direction with resentment. Those eyes overlapped with the blood red eyes I had seen in my dream earlier. Strangely enough, I got goosebumps. My five senses, sensing danger, were suddenly awakened. Should I check it?
It was then.
“Ugh, did you do this on purpose?”
“huh?”
Damian asked as if he was resentful.
“That headbutt that just happened out of nowhere.”
“….”
“I was just taking care of His Majesty, who was sleeping. Did you have any complaints against me?”
“No, that’s not it.”
“Then what was it?”
“Uh, that…”
Rachiel hesitated for a moment and then asked.
“Let me ask you a question. Let’s say someone accidentally hurt you unintentionally. Like now. So what do you think is the first thing that comes to mind?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“It’s like a psychological test.”
“….”
“Regardless of whether the first opponent made a mistake or something else, you resent the opponent and want to fight back first. “They are ruthlessly extorting compensation for injury No. 2.”
“Are you asking me to choose between the two?”
“uh.”
“Of course number 2.”
“okay?”
“yes.”
“thank god.”
“yes?”
Damian frowned. On the contrary, Rachiel smiled brightly. Rather than fighting back, they are thinking of extorting money. I thought he hadn’t awakened yet. I finally felt relieved.
However, there was no time to just leisurely(?) feel relieved.
“…Zoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
A loud baritone voice came from the other side of Damien, that is, to the left of the bed. It was Lord Gardin’s cry that you could immediately recognize by hearing it with your nostrils, even if you didn’t have to look around.
“You woke up like this! “I’m really glad!”
It seemed like he was going to embrace me. Nevertheless, like Lord Gardin, he did not cross the line, but instead took a step away and shed tears. Did this person go through a lot of trouble while he was passed out? It’s only been a few days, but the skin on my face has noticeably disappeared.
Should I say thank you for this?
How should I say that?
Rakiel bit back his embarrassed worries for a moment. Soon, I smiled bitterly.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
“okay. thank god. “Then I’d like to hear from you first.”
“Yes?”
Lord Gardin’s eyes widened from tears. Looking at that, I couldn’t bear to say so openly that I was grateful for his concern and that this was my truth. It seemed like it would be too cringy to do that. Instead, he deliberately smiled and spoke sharply.
“I’ve been lying down for about five days, right?”
“Oh yeah. “Yes, Your Highness.”
“That’s why. Which bedroom am I lying in now? Who provided this place for our group? What happened to Javilon and the rebels after I fainted? What happened in the meantime? “Please tell me everything.”
“Do you mean me now?”
“Then why bother ordering someone else?”
“Oh no. I will do it.”
“okay. Summarize it as concisely as possible.”
“Yeah yep.”
Sir Gardin hastily wiped his eyes. Damian nodded quietly. Thanks to you, did I gain courage(?)? Kyeong cleared his throat.
“Then I will report to you. Hmm! First of all, the civil war officially ended five days ago. Javilon was imprisoned on charges of treason, the rebels declared their immediate surrender, and the lords, officers and knights of all levels who participated in the rebels are scheduled to be brought to a military trial.”
“What about the rebel soldiers?”
“I have no intention of holding the soldiers separately. “They were simply conscripted and driven to the battlefield without even free will.”
The final answer was given by someone other than Sir Gardin. It was a low, soft, yet powerful voice. I looked towards the direction the voice came from. There was an old man dressed in fancy clothes. I was able to realize the identity of the old man as soon as I saw him.
“…I meet the King of Amboise.”
“Welcome to the Crown Prince of Magentano.”
I took a picture based on feeling, and as expected, the king was right. Merovanger, King of Amboise, looked left and right. At his glance, the Royal Guard knights on his left and right and Princess Adeline retreated. The king came hurriedly towards us.
gulp.
Rakiel swallowed dryly without even realizing it and clutched the blanket tightly. The King of Amboise was faced with something unexpected and unprepared. I couldn’t guess what kind of attitude he would have. To be honest, I was a little nervous and anxious.
‘Write it. ‘He’s strong.’
Suddenly, something from quite a long time ago came to mind.
Was it the time when a letter was sent to Amboise to treat Princess Adeline’s gallstones? What was the content he wrote in his letter to lure the King of Amboise at that time?
– Please give me your father-in-law’s daughter!
I guess it was written as…
‘Oh, Mr. ‘Why did I do that then?’
I got chills all over my face. I was embarrassed. I wanted to hide somewhere. No, I wanted to run away. At that time, all I could think was that I had to bring Princess Adeline to the imperial capital. So I could pretend to be crazy as much as I wanted(?).
Of course, I never dreamed that the day would come when I would meet the King of Amboise like this!
‘I even used my ticket to lie in that letter.’
Thanks to this, the King of Amboise must still firmly believe in the contents of that letter. As soon as my thoughts reached that point, heavily concentrated cold sweat began to erupt from the pores of my entire body. On the one hand, the prefrontal cortex was fully activated.
‘Remember. ‘Remember what I said to resolve the letter I sent back then!’
If this continues, I don’t know what kind of criticism I will receive. Are you trying to tell me to take responsibility? Looking at the stiff expression on the King’s face as he approaches this way, I think that’s indeed the case. Then what should I answer? It doesn’t come to mind.
Moreover… if you think about it, isn’t this situation a situation of interference in the internal affairs of Amboise, where the royal family of another country arbitrarily intervened and intervened in the civil war?
‘I’m screwed…’
The lie ticket letter I sent before. There was a situation where I was involved in the civil war in Amboise. There were too many points that needed to be addressed with excuses. So it was. The more things bothered me, the more anxious I became.
But King Amboise, perhaps unaware of their feelings(?), approached without hesitation. Before I could organize my thoughts, I stood tall next to the bed. I looked down here with my still firm gaze.
“Prince of Magentano.”
“…yep?”
Deokkung! Deokkung!
The moment when your heart beats wildly.
The King lowered himself. I bent one knee and brought it to eye level. I held this hand politely.
“On behalf of the royal family, I sincerely express my gratitude to you, Bio, for punishing the shameless traitor who caused suffering to our people of Amboise.”
The King’s polite voice rang into my ears. At the same time, a refreshing notification sound pierced my eardrums.
Ding dong!
[Through your unwavering sacrifice, you exerted a huge influence on the ‘Amboise Civil War’ that will be engraved in the history books of the Laurasian continent.] [The
royal family of Amboise expressed their official gratitude for your achievements. ]
[Your five organs and six organs are holding a celebration party.]
[The heart twerks loudly.] [
The lungs do the inhalation and exhalation beat.]
