Episode 734 Royal Ball (7)
“His Majesty Prince Soleil eats it!”
All eyes from the crowd gathered at the entrance of the lobby.
The banquet hall was quiet enough to be quiet because it was in the midst of silence due to the Marquis Villede and his slaves.
The lobby door opens.
The first to appear was a pretty young man with purple hair.
Sharp eyes and tight lips.
Even though it was a banquet hall with royalty, the fact that he had a sword at his waist would mean that he was an attendant.
A few women gulped.
Zeke is a handsome man known even in the Holy Land.
In addition to that, since he inherited the throne of the duke, he also had a high status, so there was always a constant search for him.
The confident eyes and behavior were enough to lift and release the hearts of many women.
They stared at Zeke endlessly and couldn’t stop talking when they saw the person who entered the banquet hall.
Blue eyes peeking through the white hair.
To the extent that it was comparable to him, the white skin and black tailcoat matched well without any sense of heterogeneity.
With the help of Soyoung, Ray, who was usually pretty, even dressed up to the fullest, the aftermath was significant.
The high-nosed aristocratic women couldn’t take their eyes off of him, and the ladies also forgot their banquet partners and looked straight at him.
Not only the musicians, but even the attendants stopped what they were doing and looked at him.
Then, this time, the receiving committee followed them into the banquet hall.
So-young, who is a bit short, has a small charm, and Hong-young, who exudes maturity.
From the huge black spirit that even a baby ogre would believe, to the calm blue spirit.
There are only characters with a strong atmosphere.
Ray, who grabbed everyone’s attention in an instant, walked to Slaya and the princess.
Soon, he lowered his head and said.
“Thank you for inviting us today. Happy birthday.”
As he spoke with a light smile, Slay and the princess watched him without even replying.
Even though he was a member of the royal family, it was disrespectful to look at the Duke like this.
The daughter of the duke, who was usually friendly with Slay or the princess, touched her.
The princess, who finally came to her senses, was greeted with a drool as if regretting it.
“Ah… say nothing. Please enjoy it comfortably.”
“Thank you for your consideration.”
Ray looked around as he spoke.
Inside the banquet hall, there were considerably more nobles than expected.
It was only the first day of the banquet, but to think that this amount of nobles had gathered.
I can see the king’s efforts to somehow expand his personal connections.
Of course, there’s nothing to skip, but that’s it.
By the time Ray enters the banquet hall.
There was another person looking at it.
Forgetting that Marquis Villede had to evade his seat, he lost his mind for a moment.
It’s a beauty I’ve never seen before.
A face that lacks a sense of reality to the extent that one might think that it surpasses even the elves, the race of beauty.
Forgetting the face of having abused slaves until now.
Marquis Beelaid approached Ray as if possessed by something.
“Your name?”
She greeted him right away and asked for his name.
Even so, she is the real power of the Kingdom of Gleiman and the person who succeeds the Marquis.
If he was a faceless aristocrat, it would be a local aristocrat or his son, so he naturally thought that Ray would be one of them.
At Marquis Beelaid’s words, Zeke’s swordsman who stood by Ray’s side wriggled.
he intervened between the two.
“Be polite.”
It was a word intended to warn, but Marquis Villede’s reaction far exceeded his expectations.
she shouted sharply.
“How dare you intervene in the topic of escort! Do you want to be decapitated for blasphemy!”
No matter how powerful the Kingdom of Gleiman is, the reality is that it does not reach the majesty of the kingdom.
From Sieg’s point of view, it seemed that the Marquess of the Kingdom was disrespecting the Duke of the Holy Kingdom.
“You’d better watch your mouth.”
Take those words as a signal.
This time, the escort who had been guarding the side of Marquis Villede stood in front of him, glaring at Zeke.
“Where are low-ranking knights from the outskirts ignoring the status of the marquess family? Can’t you just step back?”
The knight said it even to death, but it didn’t even itch that much to Zeke.
Rather, ‘How do I do this?’ I look at Ray like I do.
Ray didn’t respond.
Instead, he approached the rags of courtesy scattered randomly behind Marquis Villede.
Ears so long that you can’t even hide them with your hair.
Faces and bodies that are crushed beyond recognition are undoubtedly traces of violence.
The shin bone was completely shattered as if it was intended to make it impossible to stand.
To make matters worse, the knee is also broken.
Ray turned him over so that he was face up.
Even though he was going to scream all over his body, he didn’t frown.
“…Don’t come close to me, human.”
I can only spit out a single word.
Even that must have been conscious of himself.
“If you help me, you won’t be safe either.”
Ray looked around with a hard expression on his face.
As I stared at it with imperceptible momentum, the nobles averted their gaze.
Among them, some of the nobles looked at Marquis Villede without even realizing it.
Naturally, Ray’s gaze also turned to her.
“…Did you do it?”
When asked quietly, the Marquis answered.
“Anyway, I am a slave. Of course, I am reflecting on the disturbance I caused in the banquet hall.”
So, are you a slave?
I know that this is a kingdom that allows slaves.
But even so, to turn a slave into a rag like this.
Only then were they no different from the bandits.
No, even if it is a bandit, the minimum tolerance is given to the same intelligent body.
The reason why he can do so cruelly is because he does not see the slave as a creature like himself.
Ray averted his eyes from Marquis Villede.
“What is your name?”
“…Cassius.”
“Cassius, it may hurt a little, but bear with it.”
He placed his hand on the elf’s forehead.
When mana was blown into it, a small magic circle rose from his forehead.
Whoa-!
Cassius, who did not blink even when his bones were broken, bit his lip.
Ray grinned as he looked at the red patterned magic circle emerging from him.
“This isn’t slave engraving, is it black magic?”
Since it was about taming the elves, it seems that the general slave stamp was not fulfilled.
Even so, I would never have thought that a spell close to a curse would have been engraved into it.
Ray forcibly removed Cassius from his dark magic, which was rare.
Dig-!
As the spots on his forehead disappeared, Cassius murmured quietly.
“Heal.”
Broken bones stick together and the wound gradually erases.
Indeed, it could be said to be an amazing magic skill.
Noticing that Cassius was freed, Count Hobert and Marquis Villede exclaimed.
“What are you doing!”
“Freeing slaves who have masters at will! Do you know that it is a felony!”
Freeing a slave without an agreement is a felony.
This was the reason nobles were cautious about buying and selling slaves.
However, it had nothing to do with Ray.
Because he didn’t get rid of the slave mark, he just lifted the dark magic curse on the elf.
Cassius, who had fully recovered before he knew it, looked at Ray.
“…I will ask a human. Why did you save me?”
“I don’t hate elves.”
there’s no way i hate it
The woman he loves is a high elf.
At that, Cassius burst out laughing.
“Sorry, but I hate humans. I cannot accept that affection.”
“It’s a pity.”
“Even if I hate people, I am not a naive person who forgets grace.”
Grace….
When a bad feeling passes through your spine.
Cassius groaned quietly.
“You will save me.”
Pajijijijik-!
A tremendous current flowed from his hand.
I could feel it instinctively.
This wasn’t some low circle attack magic.
‘A big crab is coming!’
It is impossible to cancel unless you know what kind of magic it is.
Ray and Cassius almost simultaneously shouted the starting language.
“Shield!”
“Mega lightning.”
Flash-!
Lightning struck the banquet hall along with a huge ray of light.
Turong-!
Tung-!
However, it could not penetrate the hemispherical membrane.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Aaaaaagh!”
Surprised by the sudden attack magic, the nobles quickly tried to escape outside the lobby.
“Lock.”
Cheekyung-!
Those who tried to escape panicked when the door did not open.
Of course, they weren’t the only ones perplexed.
Ray was quite surprised to see Cassius.
‘How the hell did he use magic?’
Inside the castle, there must be a magic tool he made.
But casting large-scale magic like mega lightning?
It was something that could not even be attempted without some knowledge of magic.
Ray looked at Cassius with surprised eyes.
Conversely, Cassius also admired Ray.
Although the power has decreased due to the disturbed flow of mana, Mega Lightning is the highest level of lightning magic in the 5th circle.
The fact that he blocked it with the 1st circle basic defense magic was amazing.
“What are you doing all of a sudden?”
“Isn’t it natural? It’s about paying for your actions.”
It’s natural that it comes out like this.
I’ve been through something so far, but it’s rather strange to stay still.
“This is the capital of the human kingdom. Even if we kill everyone like this, there will be a killing squad soon, right?”
“Does not matter. I am originally a proud guardian. Even if I die, the rule is to kill all threatening beings.”
Guardian?
Could it be that they were not just elves, but captured the village guardians and made them slaves?
‘It’s better not to die for this.’
It was fortunate that he did not leave the elven village.
If that were the case, the magic of the elves would have greatly reduced Gleiman’s power.
Unlike humans, elves have a strong sense of camaraderie.
Even if they lived in different villages, if they heard the news that the Guardian had been captured, they might join forces and flock to the Kingdom of Gleiman.
And that’s still valid today.
I’ve been through some hardships and made the Kingdom of Gleiman an ally!
I can’t let it fall apart like this!
Ray stood in front of Cassius.
Then he looked at Ray as if he was interested.
“Are we going out for fools like humans? Is it because they are related?”
no.
It is to keep the efforts so far.
As the confrontation continued without any reply, Cassius nodded.
“I will say thank you. But it’s a pity.”
His hand went to Ray.
Whoa-!
Mana fluctuates.
A flow that is not strange no matter when the magic is manifested.
Beside him, Zeke interjected quietly.
“The sin of daring to point the sword at the lord. Apologize with death.”
