Episode 121. Betrayal (3)
“Reward?”
“A reward?”
Dante and Beradin asked at the same time.
“Yes, Lord Soga.”
“Hairan is also your territory, so you want to praise the credit for defending it?”
“It looks like that.”
Dante’s expression darkened. It was because of the emperor’s heinous treatment of praising Qin from the front and oppressing Hailan from behind.
Because of his good character and speech, and because of his position as a subject, he did not show any more displeasure, but Dante was very upset.
The article that delivered the news also seemed to suppress a terrible feeling.
“You’re a bad kid. How nice Dante is, but you don’t know that. child.”
When Belladin said that, Dante and the knight’s eyes widened.
They had never heard anyone speak of the emperor in common language. Even Ron, who is famous for not giving honorific titles to emperors, has never had a baby talk.
“I thought it was time to take a look at the top that courtiers dare to call Cheonan. That’s great.”
Jin also added a word, and Dante and the knight looked around without realizing it. It was clear that he had no ears to hear, but it was a reflex action.
Excluding this incident, Jin did not have good feelings for the emperor. He’s been involved with the special lease a few times, and not too long ago, he had a battle with the SS in Wantaramo Forest.
In addition, there was no place to look at the Tikan Free City as a joke or even the fact that they were secretly producing ‘Mine’.
“Hmm hmm. Friends. Still, he is the supreme ruler of the empire…”
“Neither I nor Jin are Bement people, so it’s okay. are you okay.”
Finally, Dante smiled awkwardly. In my heart, I was relieved by the words of the two people.
“I am glad you are here.”
“Great, so am I. Dante!”
Dante and Beradin looked at Jin at the same time. You said that too, with that expression on your face.
Although Jin lightly ignored their small aspirations.
“I wonder what gift you will give me. Can I go right now?”
“Yes, Sir Jin.”
Jin stretches and gets up from his seat.
“Just today, other factions are also leaving the Imperial Palace, so I have to stop by the imperial palace and then go back to my home.”
“So suddenly?”
Veradin opened his eyes wide and said.
“Not all of a sudden. You just came, but I’ve been here for about 15 days. Since our conversation has been roughly organized, wouldn’t it be right to go to my seat? Runkandel riders are pretty busy.”
Dante felt as sorry as Beradin, but he couldn’t catch him.
In the first place, Jin could go back whenever he wanted to.
If it was a rider other than Jin who was at the scene of the terror attack, Hiran would not have asked Runcandel to stay until the fact-finding was over in the first place.
Jean is purely a friend, giving her time to help Dante. It was time to go back and do your own thing.
“But I just came.”
“Okay, go back now and do your best to get Ziffle to put pressure on Hiran in earnest. You are also busy.”
“I’m sorry…”
Just before leaving the basement following the knight, Jin looked back at his friends.
Veradin suddenly fell down with sadness, and Dante was patting Veradin on the back.
“Under any circumstances, just the three of us need not betray each other.”
Seeing my friends nodding their heads, I burst into laughter.
Wouldn’t there have been younger siblings like that if he had been born as the first instead of the youngest in an ordinary family other than Runkandel? I had a sudden thought.
“Take care of yourself, Jin. see you again soon Have a drink then!”
“Blow your luck, dear.”
As I followed the knight out of the basement, the bright sunlight stung my eyes.
The half-destroyed and blackened Geomhwangseong was creating a sense of disparateness under the coolly stretched sky without a single cloud.
“I must say hello to Sir Ron. Where is he?”
“I will see you.”
Ron sat alone in an almost ruined battlefield.
It’s all broken, but strangely, the constellation of the Geomwangseong in Daejeon is intact without being broken.
To Jin, it seemed to symbolize the situation in Hiran. Even if attacked from inside and outside, it seemed that the great warrior named Lon Hi-Lan would eventually defend the constellation.
Maybe it was because I knew Ron wasn’t feeling well, so I didn’t know if I wanted to think that way all the more.
“Didn’t the emperor call you?”
Sensing the presence, Ron opened his mouth and the knight moved away.
“That’s right.”
“The members of the royal family have a great talent for telling busy people to come and go. I’m going to go and curse at you for listening to the obvious.”
The attitude towards Jin has changed. Ron no longer recognized Jin only as ‘the devil possessed by his grandson’.
This is because Jin, from the time of the terror, showed his faith and affection for Dante along with his ability.
“How are you feeling?”
“Not good.”
It is true that he suffered serious internal injuries while dealing with Kingelo, but it was by no means fatal to the extent that recovery has not yet begun.
However, Ron’s internal wounds showed no signs of improving.
On the contrary, it was getting progressively worse as time went on. To the extent that the rigid body of a 10-star unmanned person is colorless.
“It’s a big deal.”
Dante was unaware of Ron’s condition. The only ones who knew this were about five of Ron’s closest aides and Jin.
“It’s such a big deal that this Ron Hi-Lan has to lend your hand to protect his grandson.”
It was a remark that was insignificant. It wasn’t bravado, but it came from the confidence that there would be no major problems even with these injuries.
However, if it was revealed that Ron’s injury was much more serious than was known, it was only natural that things would be difficult for Hiran to handle.
“I don’t know if the red sword was the problem or if there were other factors. If the day comes when you suffer such uncontrollable internal injuries, of course I thought it would be the day when you mix swords with your father… But to be the head of a group known as a third-rate terrorist organization not too long ago is an astonishing thing.”
“It’s just that its identity hasn’t been revealed, but it’s probably a formidable demon.”
“I guess so. It seemed obvious that he couldn’t reveal all his strength, but that was it. When he is complete, he will definitely be a person in the same class as your father.”
Jin did not regard Ron’s evaluation as an insult to his father. Because he felt that way too.
Whoa.
Ron let out a deep sigh.
It wasn’t because of my injuries. My heart aches at the thought of my grandson who will have to fight against such an existence in the future.
‘I’ve been expecting the second generation of the giants to compete fiercely with each other and eventually Dante to stand at the peak… but it’s not the time to have such a rosy imagination.’
To deal with such demons, it was not enough for the 2nd generation to compete together, but to fight together.
It wasn’t just the demons, it was the same with Zipple.
“What did the Beradin Ziple look like?”
– Grandfather. Would you believe it if magic could manipulate the human mind and memory at will?
What the grandson said at the banquet hall.
Ron continued to care about mind manipulation after that.
“On the outside, it looks fine. There is no way to determine right now whether the mind is manipulated or not.”
“Manipulation of demonic mind that hid its identity. It’s a dirty and difficult era just thinking about those things. When I was young, I could have conquered the world with just one sword.”
“It was simple and romantic.”
“It wasn’t me who realized that romance, but your father.”
Ron shrugged and looked up at the sky through the open ceiling. The bitterness seemed to emanate from the deep wrinkles around her eyes.
“After the faction is over and this side is sorted out, I will help you to seize the throne of Runcandel more easily.”
Ron didn’t say he’d make the impossible happen. I just express it as helping me get more comfortable with what will be anyway.
Ron already had no doubt that Jin would become the king of Runcandel Sword Demons. It is impossible to imagine how the other riders of Runkandel deal with this steel tumbleweed.
“Thank you for your words, Sir Ron.”
“Let’s go.”
“yes.”
“Oh and.”
When Jin turned around, Ron grinned and smiled, somehow tinged with evil energy.
“Tell the emperor.”
“Can I tell you something?”
“It would be good to make good choices in many ways.”
“All right.”
* * *
In the capital of Beamont, no matter where you were, you could turn your head and check the appearance of the imperial palace.
A gigantic spire soaring as if it could touch the yellowish clouds, palaces spread out beneath it, four rivers encircling them, and a wide, white paved road stretching between them.
The imperial people were proud of the majestic appearance of the largest structure of the Bement and enjoyed calling it the Heavenly Palace, not the Imperial Palace.
Even if you bring any palace that exists in the world next to it, it will be nothing more than a shabby pile of stones compared to the Imperial Palace of Bemont.
‘Because it’s the imperial palace, the feeling is completely different from what I saw from afar before returning. I’ve heard that it’s luxurious and magnificent, but…’
I didn’t expect it to boast of such a majestic scale.
Besides, no matter how many species were taking care of it, not a single foreign object could be seen on the white roads that seemed to be hundreds of paces wide.
Quietly, slowly… As
the imperial carriage with the gins gently stopped, the guards lined up in this row raised their swords. Jin naturally received the sword, but the emperor was watching them with the eunuchs from the upper floors of the spire.
“How do you think Gene Runkandel will accept Jim’s offer?”
The eunuchs did not answer the emperor’s question and only bowed their heads.
“Well, if you knew that in advance, there wouldn’t be a need to meet like this. I asked you a stupid question.”
This time, the eunuchs only bowed their heads.
In fact, all the eunuchs brought to the spire by the emperor had lost their voices a long time ago, and were unable to answer in the first place.
“Instead, by using you guys, I’ll be able to see the basic tendencies of a human named Jin Runkandel with my own eyes.”
Clap-!
Suddenly, the emperor opened the window wide and grabbed the nape of the neck of the eunuch who was bowing closest to him.
Then, without hesitation, he lightly lifted the eunuch and threw it out the window.
The eunuch couldn’t scream, but Jin didn’t miss him falling to the ground.
