61 – Superman of the Sorcerer Empire (1)

However, Prince Oh’s agitation did not last long.

He calms down his voice with a calm expression and opens his mouth.

“Why are you here?”

“A contract with His Highness the Four Princes.”

“… … contract? you?”

At the suspicious voice of Prince Oh, the old man answered while raising the corner of his mouth.

“It seems quite surprising that you are here.”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

The dark-haired young man’s eyes sharpened.

“What do you mean, if it’s not surprising that Sir Geoffrey, the Duke of the Empire of Darkness and the great mage, is here?”

There are only three empires among dozens of kingdoms on a vast continent.

And among them, the relationship between the nearby Mado Empire and the Rothenberg Empire was surprisingly good.

Thanks to that, high-ranking aristocrats also interacted a lot for the purpose of traveling, but secretly infiltrating into the nature of the imperial palace of a foreign aristocrat was against reason.

And the fact that a person with a level of grandmaster level participated in such a plan belonged to clear interference in internal affairs.

Duke Geoffrey, the great wizard of the Dark Empire.

He was one of only 10 grandmasters on this continent, and a man known for his skills on par with Duke Kaisel, the grandmaster of the Rothenberg Empire.

How could such a man be here?

“… … The notification magic must have been spread all over the place, right? Duke Kaisel and the commander of the Royal Guards should also be in the main house. If we ever get caught, we all… … .”

“There is no such thing.”

The Four Princes who speak confidently.

When Prince Oh asked a question, it was the old man who smiled and answered.

“Prince Oh. Don’t worry. The notification magic is working properly.”

The old man’s words, noticing his concern, made the black-haired young man’s eyes shake.

“how… … .”

“Simple. Because the person who is here right now is just an illusion.”

“An illusion?”

“Isn’t it natural? I know for sure that the lunatic Kaisel and His Majesty the Emperor of the Rothenberg Empire have a Dragon Artifact, but he hasn’t gone crazy enough to come back to the main body.”

“her.”

Prince Oh said with a slightly pale face.

“Fourth brother. Are you finally crazy? No matter how annoying Laura is, that’s right, calling a superman from another country? If I had known it was such a risky plan, I would not have taken part.”

“It seems that Prince Oh really doesn’t know anything.”

“My brother doesn’t know much about the international situation.”

Prince Oh’s face turned red at the sight of his older brother arguing with him calmly. The old man, who had seen that blushing expression, opened his mouth.

“His Majesty, the emperor of the Dark Empire, values the balance of power very much.”

“What is that… … .”

“It means that you don’t want a new grandmaster to be born in the Rothenberg Empire.”

“What’s wrong with that?”

“Because there is a difference between having one Superman and two. Isn’t that right?”

At the old man’s answer, Prince Oh gritted his teeth.

“… … fourth brother. did you forget? Leon Gnome has the immunity granted by His Majesty the Emperor.”

“Why?”

“My father claimed his background, and if you touch him… … !”

“Brother. You must have forgotten.”

He continues with a smile on his face.

“Immunity is not protection. It’s just that His Majesty will absolve him of responsibility for what Leon did. In the first place, the only person capable of protecting the sword master is Duke Kaisel, so do you think it makes sense to even protect him?”

“… … .”

“And this is within the bounds of ‘competition between princes’. did you learn it too? In the competition between the princes, His Majesty will not interfere in any way.”

“… … It is my fault for forgetting the nature of immunity. But do you think His Majesty would tolerate the author’s existence? Duke Geoffrey is a foreigner to the last. Surely, you don’t think your father will tolerate meddling in internal affairs, do you?”

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

At that question, the Four Princes laughed out loud.

However, Prince Oh could not tackle it. It was because I could feel the goosebumps in the eyes of the four princes who soon hardened their expressions.

“That’s no problem.”

“… … .”

“Isn’t it okay if you don’t get caught after all?”

“… … !”

“There are only three people who know that Duke Geoffrey participated in this, His Majesty the Emperor of the Dark Empire, me, and you.”

“Why are you doing this?”

“Why are you doing this?”

My brother asked in a trembling voice.

The eyes of the Four Princes shone purple.

“You’re too intrusive. There is not much time left, and I can’t tolerate such a variable occurring.”

“hour… … ?”

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

What the hell are you waiting for?

As if he was curious or not, as if he didn’t want to answer any more, the Four Princes continued talking while looking down at the panoramic view of the capital from the terrace with a languid gaze.

“Anyway, everything is ready. Execution day is tomorrow. When the work is over, Duke Geoffrey will kill Leon at the place I prepared in advance, along with the wizards of the Empire of Darkness.”

“… … .”

“So, you bastard, go and send invitations to social gatherings or to Leon. That way there won’t be any trouble dealing with him.”

“Ah, I see.”

Prince Oh took the letter lying on the table.

And before you go out the door

I asked the fourth older brother who was trying to talk to the virtual old man.

“older brother.”

“Why?”

“I’m asking just in case… … .”

His hand holding the letter trembled a little.

“… … Are you sure you can kill him?”

“under. Are you saying that even when you see this person?”

Duke Jeffrey of the Dark Empire.

Although it was only an illusion, the black-haired young man hurriedly lowered his head while swallowing dry saliva at the formidable presence felt from him.

Cold sweat dripped from Prince Oh’s forehead as he faced the momentum.

“… … It was a mistake.”

“I wish you would have known.”

“Let’s go in first.”

“Sleep well, my brother.”

“… … Yes.”

However, after closing the door, Prince Oh’s face was still stained with anxiety.

‘That old man… … A grandmaster might be able to kill Leon, but… … .’

Even so, the anxiety that leaks out from the depths of the young man’s heart.

Even a foreign grandmaster was involved in the operation. It’s true that you have to put your mind at ease.

‘Why do I feel this way?’

The ominous thought that Leon would be able to safely pass this crisis was still not erased.

***

“… … invitation?”

The butler of the Duke of Roelheim, a young red-haired young man who received the letter from Catherine, tilted his head.

“I was in front of Leon?”

“Hmm… … .”

The silver-haired beauty who handed the letter was also unable to take her eyes off the letter, as if curious about its contents.

A luxuriously wrapped letter.

He opened the red seal that sealed the letter, took out the folded paper inside, and read the contents slowly.

The content was more than I expected.

The content that he will open a social church hosted by the Four Princes.

The main attendees were Prince Oh and Princess Laura.

‘I want to arrange a reconciliation between you and Prince Oh, who are on bad terms due to previous couplets.’

There was a postscript written with a lot of intentions.

“Arranging reconciliation? You should talk bullshit.”

“By reconciliation, do you mean the last time you fought with Keshan on the side of Prince Oh?”

“right. I always thought that Prince Oh would do something, but this has become more troublesome than I thought.”

“I’ll help you, so feel free to tell me what’s going on.”

She said in a soft voice next to Leon. Then the troubled young man’s mouth opened.

“It looks like Prince Five and Prince Four are trying to do something by holding hands.”

“Do you have any expectations?”

“No matter what you think… … .”

As he put the letter into the inside pocket of his butler’s uniform, he continued with an expressionless face.

“These bastards, it looks like they’re trying to soak me.”

“… … Leon?”

“uh. I am almost certain.”

Undoubtedly.

In words, it seemed like a polite invitation, but there was no way Prince Four and Prince Five, who were said to be in competition with each other, would hold hands so meekly.

This is obviously a common method used by those who decorate something.

If it wasn’t for that, there wouldn’t be anything to break the mentality of Princess Laura, who was marked as a VIP.

“These humans… … !”

At the young man’s answer, Catherine’s eyes turned black.

“I can’t. I need to contact my father and put pressure on them right away… … .”

“Then the family of the Duke of Roelheim will jump directly into politics.”

“Then do you intend to leave the dangerous elements of the Four Princes and the Five Princes alone?”

“Absolutely not. Catherine, calm down for now. Unless they’re idiots, I’m sure they’ve prepared to pretend.”

“But I can’t just sit back and watch it.”

As if she was really angry, the magic that flowed out of her body froze the surroundings.

The young man thought with his arms crossed.

‘The place is a social church. a place with a lot of people. If I roughly judged my skill level to be an intermediate level sword master, I should bring in someone with the ability to handle things quickly.’

“I’m not the Marquis, the highest rank of the Sword Master… … It’s not even the commander of the Royal Guard… … Not even His Excellency, Duke Kaisel… … .”

Let’s think. Who is it?

A person with the ability to defeat an intermediate level sword master in an instant.

“… … Are you a foreigner?”

No matter how you think about it, that’s all there is to it.

Right now, there are less than 10 sword masters or higher in this empire.

Duke Julius and Isabella were skilled people comparable to the highest level of sword masters, but they had little interest in politics.

The same goes for the commander of the Royal Guard and the Marquis who protect the borders of the empire.

Miya’s father

Even more so with Duke Kaisel.

Then, the only remaining forces were foreigners.

‘Is it JJ?’

A method commonly used by less powerful princes or princes.

If it doesn’t work for me, if it doesn’t work for Korea, it will bring in foreign countries.

‘Method of defeating barbarians with barbarians.’

However, there are many countries on this continent, so I do not know which country will enter and try to kill me.

And if Prince Four and Prince Five attracted foreigners, that person might not necessarily be a sword master.

‘perhaps… … It might be the grand master.’

Leon hoped that his thoughts were unfounded.

Officially, there are only 10 superhumans in existence.

If I had to fight a foreign grandmaster, I would have no choice but to bring out the King of Chains.

“5% or so… … .”

Chance to lose sanity, only 5%.

A number that is neither too much nor too little.

However, if not encroached on, the strongest power that will make him more than Yang Baek-ho in his heyday.

“Leon…”

“Well, it will work out somehow.”

Leon muttered in a carefree voice as he brushed the hair of Lady Catherine, who was looking at him with a worried look.
