Episode 599 Transaction (1)
The footsteps of the attendants quickened.
When they are busy preparing for a banquet, guiding nobles wearing scarlet lanterns.
Ray also started dressing up after a long time.
When he went down to the stream and washed his dirty hair and abluted, the scruffy face went somewhere and a nobleman appeared.
While drying his hair, he put on the banquet dress prepared by Count Sylvester.
It seems that she put a lot of thought into the banquet dress, as if it was made for her from the start.
“Your uncle must have had a hard time.”
Even if it wasn’t for that, she would have been having trouble with Yeongji’s work, but she was preparing a banquet dress in just a few days.
Even though I didn’t see it in person, I could feel his hard work.
Thinking so, Ray finally got dressed and put on his shoes.
When he attached a small brooch he had received from Harpman as a decoration around his chest, his appearance, which even the high elves admired, was clearly revealed.
After finishing the preparations, he moved to the banquet hall.
* * *
A banquet was held in the kingdom of Heron.
Since it was nominally a banquet held on the occasion of the prince’s birthday, the three princes greeted the nobles with smiles.
By the time nobles started to gather in the lobby.
They gathered among themselves and whispered.
“But I wonder if Celia will come.”
“It seems that Your Majesty hates it so much, how can you show your face no matter how much it is the king’s order? If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to come out.”
“I heard that he lived as a guest in Count Sylvester’s family. ha ha ha.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha. No matter how damned it is, did you mean to join Count Sylvester?”
Their laughter echoed through the lobby.
The princesses also knew that most nobles were chatting about him.
Because of this, Princess Il and this princess burned their hearts.
If he had really reached the 7th Circle, insulting him at this point could itself have started a war.
Is that all?
The existence of a Lord is by no means a light existence.
It means that he has the ability to demolish the castle right away if he wants to, or to escape alone in the midst of it.
Even in the past, in the age of magic, when war broke out and the momentum was waning, there were not a few cases where Rod directly stepped in and ended the war.
The platform for the promised reversal.
human disaster.
That was the weight of the name Rod.
The princess said with a worried face.
“Is he really going to come to a place like this?”
Having said that, he seems to wish that he would rather not come.
How can you not understand her heart?
On the one hand, he also hopes that he will go far away.
Deltia smiled bitterly and replied.
“well. Even if you come, I don’t think you’ll come in a good mood. We’ve only been trying to catch him, but we’ve never treated him well.”
I heard that a normal guest was kicked out of the private room.
I even felt dizzy when I heard that they threatened to ask for food on their own.
Everyone treated them harshly with one heart and mind, so how could they not feel vengeful?
No matter how good your feelings are, if you are treated poorly, your mind will change.
As Deltia’s face was not looking good, the princess’s complexion also showed no signs of improving.
The three princesses are very peaceful.
She smiled and greeted the nobles with a shrug.
“My sisters are also very worried. Wouldn’t the person who dreamed of revenge like that not do something right away? If the kingdom is in good shape so far, at least it doesn’t seem like that’s the case.”
When I heard it, it was true.
However, their complexion did not improve.
“That would be nice.”
“If you worry like that, you will only get more wrinkles. Go ahead and make an impression. Isn’t your sister a princess?”
Deltia, who suddenly came to her senses at those words, looked around.
Most of the nobles seemed to be indifferent, but I could feel that some nobles were watching them.
It must have been that the princesses were worried about dying.
The girls, who hurriedly straightened their faces, forced a smile on their lips.
“Thank you for letting me know.”
“At least this much.”
I thought that I was young, but before I knew it, I had the dignity of a princess.
The smiles of the girls, who were happy inside their younger brother’s growth, deepened.
Time passed and most of the nobles gathered in the lobby.
The banquet began in earnest.
From outside the lobby, the atmosphere of the banquet matured when a high-ranking aristocrat called out his name every time he entered and they gathered and chatted.
Around that time, the sons of nobles came out to the center one by one and shared a dance.
With the beautiful performance of the musicians, it is finally time to say that it is a proper banquet.
The baron standing outside the lobby announced the position of the nobleman in a loud voice.
Among them were counts and marquesses.
All the eyes of the audience were focused on the voice of the baron that followed.
A loud voice announced the position.
“Prince Soleil eats it.”
sound not small.
It was difficult for everyone to hear.
The nobles, who thought they had heard wrongly, began to stir among themselves.
“Did I hear you right now?”
“Go Gongwang?”
“Isn’t there no dukedom in the one kingdom…?”
If so, who the hell is the king called by the baron?
The more we talk, the more our curiosity grows.
Naturally, the eyes of the aristocrats were drawn towards the entrance to the lobby.
Then I saw someone coming down the stairs from the first floor.
White hair that oozes mystery.
At first glance, the blue eyes shining through her hair were enough to catch the attention of many women.
Every time the brooch placed on the chest of the black banquet dress shimmered in the light of the chandelier, it seemed that even an indescribable sacredness radiated.
The eyes of the young ladies are drowsy, and the mouths of the nobles slowly open.
Unlike before, when he was sloppy, the person changed when he took out the water by ablution.
Even the three princesses, who had been holding their seats in an adult manner, forgot manners and opened their mouths.
Rey, who arrived in front of the king after walking slowly, gave a light bow.
“Meet His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Heron.”
At that, King Heron looked at him with a bewildered face.
“Now, how about you…?”
“This is Ray. You probably don’t know since I found the castle with Count Sylvester. Although it is a tribe, it governs the Duchy of Soleil, which was bestowed by the King of Celia.”
It was just one word.
The fact that Celia, which had been an intermediary trading country for a while, suddenly created a principality was something that caused a stir on the continent.
Upon learning that the rumored owner of the principality was the young man in front of him, King Heron’s pupils shook violently as if an earthquake had occurred.
At the same time, the mouths of the aristocrats who had been talking excitedly were also quickly shut.
Are you a king?
I wanted to refute that it was not a lie, but the atmosphere I felt from him was definitely that of an absolute.
Contrary to the king’s inability to come to his senses, the eyes of many young ladies and nobles shone differently than before.
What kind of cake is this?
He’s not a duke, he’s a duke.
No matter how much it is a duchy, it is a person who is in the position of a king who governs a country.
Besides, he’s young.
Her appearance was also better than that of the elves, so the eyes of the ladies literally caught fire.
did you notice him?
“Kuhm.”
King Heron, who had removed his gaze from the surroundings with a single clearing of his throat, faced Ray again.
According to the knight commander, the young man in front of him is a person who may have reached the level of a Lord.
In addition, he was the duchy who ruled the Duchy of Soleil now.
King Heron’s head turned quickly.
‘There’s no way King Celia didn’t know this. If this guy was really a Lord, he would have created a duchy and captured it.’
Even if it was himself, if the fact that he was a Lord had been proven, he would have divided the kingdom and given him the position of duke.
It’s not expensive if you can hold him with it.
King Heron, who licked his lips, was greeted as if nothing was wrong.
“Nice to meet you, Prince Soleil.”
“Nice to meet you. I wanted to see His Majesty the King, who has been benevolent with me from the moment I arrived at the royal castle, at least once.”
He spoke with a smile, and King Heron, who heard the words, felt a chill on his back.
Certainly, he did not like Count Sylvester’s respect, so he did not treat him as a guest.
Not only did he not give away a private room, but he did not provide any convenience in the royal castle.
King Heron was sweating profusely.
“I hope this will be a place to forget about the past and celebrate each other’s meeting.”
a thing of the past?
Blessed to meet you?
Fuck.
In this damn realm, every kind of humiliation has been suffered.
In a way, what happened in such a short time was more than a castle.
With a long, wide back like the sea, he never had the heart to forget what King Heron had done for him.
“ha ha ha. You joke too much.”
It seems that the pressure was difficult to bear.
King Heron hurriedly changed the subject.
“By the way… Jim doesn’t have much of a relationship with Celia. But how did the king of that place come all the way here?”
At those words, Ray’s eyes lit up.
“To make a deal, Your Majesty.”
“transaction?”
“yes.”
The reason why he came to the kingdom of Heron.
It was also because he liked Gide, the son of Count Sylvester, but that was not the only reason.
Ray pulled out a wooden box of courtesy from his bosom.
At first glance, the neatly carved wooden box looked old and rough.
Even though he volunteered to make a ‘trade’ in front of the king of a country, King Heron tilted his head for a moment because the item he took out was an ugly wooden box.
“What is it?”
to answer the question
Ray carefully opened the lid of the wooden box.
OK.
Whoops-!
Along with the huge flow of mana, a stunningly beautiful blue light spread around.
When a long line of light engulfs the area and presents untimely moonlight.
The gushing flow of mana stopped.
The escort knights, who were raising their mana nervously, were astonished when the mana in their bodies did not respond.
Did the king also notice?
He stuttered to the end and trembled his hands.
“This is…”
Ray gave a small smile.
“This is what I will present. Let me show you the performance in a moment.”
he raised his finger.
