Chapter 124

Kill the King

‘What is this—.’

At the blatant appearance Handsome lost words.

Effort was a strong one. Taking charge of operations where large personnel are put in proved that.

Such Effort—.

‘Being beaten.’

Galahad continuously swung the gold rod toward the prostrated Effort. Fierce sounds consecutively burst.

Although Effort twisted his body and resisted it was useless. Galahad tenaciously followed and swung the gold rod.

What was more scary was that even while ruthlessly beating Galahad is expressionless.

Just like a work one has to do—.

At the blatant violence Handsome opened his mouth with a jjeok. Effort just flatly prostrated and rolling the body round was all.

Ruthless violence where even a constant rhythm is felt continued for a long time.

“Surrender! Real surrender!”

Effort shouted in a softened voice. Only then the gold rod stopped.

Galahad passed the disheveled front hair. The unique faint smile was placed.

“As expected you the hand taste is good.”

At Galahad’s light evaluation Handsome and James trembled their bodies.

Galahad pointed at Effort with the gold rod.

“Come, there are two options. The first is entering the newly made Continent Information Bureau, and the second—.”

“Will do the first.”

“As expected the sense is good. I also recommend the first. The salary would be the same as before. Instead there would be no work of bothering with missions like the Information Bureau.”

“Really?”

“I do not say lies.”

“Ah, was so.”

Galahad laughed while turning the gold rod with a binggeul. Effort nodded with a serious face.

“A newly made Information Bureau?”

“Made one.”

“Oh, congratulations.”

“Thank you. You also congratulations on the job change.”

Effort roughly coughed. Between that teeth continuously fell. Effort’s face became sealreuk.

“This, didn’t say bite tightly.”

Effort slightly looked up at Galahad.

“Really no need to do missions?”

“Yes, ah, just well guard the headquarters. The rest is your freedom.”

“Good without more.”

“Knew would answer so. Come, then again.”

Galahad fixed the grip of the gold rod. At that Effort’s eyes became sealreuk.

“······Wasn’t it ended?”

At Effort’s counter Galahad lightly clicked his tongue.

“Would I not know you. Still insufficient?”

“This bastard—.”

Although Effort hurriedly swung a fist, the gold rod tapped Effort’s face first than that.

“If not wanting to eat only thin stew bite tightly.”

At the kind advice Effort tightly bit his teeth.

Handsome and James quietly exchanged gazes.

‘Absolutely do not play around.’

‘Obvious sounds.’

The two firmly resolved loyalty.

It was a very sturdy resolution.

*

‘The retirement team ended.’

Galahad shook the numb hand and put the cigarette in his mouth.

Although a little picky, not that difficult. From the beginning the inspection room was guys Galahad caught when in the Information Bureau.

Although Effort was a bit picky, eventually that degree.

‘Have to entrust Damien’s education together.’

Because the two’s nature is similar, it was clear would be quite helpful.

Was thinking of using Effort as the headquarters’ guard. Because Effort’s performance was certain.

There was no worry of running away. It was a guy who failed leading forty agents. If returning what treatment receives from the director no need to particularly explain.

Effort was originally a guy indifferent to missions. It was moving receiving missions inevitably.

There was nothing better than just quietly guarding in one place to the guy.

It was a recruitment one can do because knowing the guy’s habit.

Recruitment was Galahad’s specialty.

“How is the Information Bureau situation?”

Galahad asked while tapping the cigarette. Effort was sitting awkwardly.

“Eueoha.”

“What saying.”

“Eosseunhada.”

“Disordered? You, the pronunciation is quite bad.”

Effort’s face fully furrowed. Between those thick lips sparse teeth were seen.

“So said bite tightly.”

As Galahad clicked his tongue, Effort’s face became sealreuk. That muscle wriggled. As Galahad held the gold rod, Effort widely laughed.

‘As expected the club is medicine.’

Galahad lightly clicked his tongue. Behind that Handsome and James busily moved.

Although Effort came over, the remaining agents did not give up to the end.

The inspection room agents were not guys one can recruit. Because Galahad also knew that did not try to recruit the guys.

‘Effort is peculiar.’

Effort who met gazes laughed more widely. Because teeth are sparsely missing the laughter was quite innocent.

Safely ended one of the things to do until the engagement ceremony. Compared to the remaining two it was the easiest side.

‘Next······’

Galahad muttered while putting the cigarette in his mouth.

‘It is the 3rd Imperial Prince.’

The reason the 3rd Imperial Prince participated in the engagement ceremony was clear.

‘To pick a quarrel with the kingdom alliance.’

What the 3rd Imperial Prince wants was war. The guy wanted to wage war with the kingdom alliance somehow. Not simply only the kingdom alliance.

‘Would aim at the North too.’

Thanks to mana stones recently the North’s value rose more than the kingdom alliance.

In the current situation if holding out two cheeses of the North and the kingdom alliance to the guy what would one choose.

‘Would choose the North.’

Galahad tapped the cigarette. Refreshing lemon scent pushed the blood smell.

What Galahad wants from the guy was one.

‘The 3rd Imperial Prince provokes the Grand Duke and the kingdom alliance simultaneously.’

If the 3rd Imperial Prince commits such a mistake, that position would lower. There if giving the finger and ring, the 4th Imperial Prince could process the 3rd Imperial Prince.

The problem was that the 3rd Imperial Prince is not a stupid guy who would do such a thing. Had to induce that.

Galahad raised his head. Far away a tall magic tower was seen.

The bait was already thrown.

Galahad guaranteed the guy would bite.

The 3rd Imperial Prince’s patience was not deep. Because the provocation earlier failed, would not wait until tomorrow.

Piyuuuuung—.

Peoeong!

Gorgeous lights fully filled the sky.

“Finish and stay going to the headquarters.”

Galahad lightly said. At that Handsome and James nodded.

The night is short and the things to do are many.

To safely hold the engagement ceremony one had to move diligently.

Galahad shook the collar and moved steps.

****

“Is this real?”

The 3rd Imperial Prince asked in a fully risen voice while looking at the report held in the hand.

“Yes, it is information that just came up from the Information Bureau.”

“The Information Bureau. Yes, said there is a branch here too.”

“Yes,”

The 3rd Imperial Prince twitched his finger. Certainly strange things were seen on the way coming. Too crude so just thought a bizarre tower—.

‘It was an illegal magic tower.’

The 3rd Imperial Prince’s eyes coolly shone.

Originally the purpose was the kingdom alliance. Yet the kingdom alliance did not come over easily. At that was devising another method—.

‘Here the Grand Duke shows a gap.’

The Grand Duke was not an easy opponent. The agreement proved the Grand Duke’s power.

The agreement meant a figure degree of becoming a threat to the empire.

‘Is there such a windfall.’

The North’s value was rising day by day. The North was more appetizing than the kingdom alliance.

That an illegal magic tower is firmly in the Grand Duke’s castle the meaning was quite large. Because what the empire governs most strictly was the magic tower.

However—.

‘A bit weak.’

The 3rd Imperial Prince’s eyes fully shone. It was a situation where the opportunity to sweep these uncivilized guys came right in front.

How can one endure this.

‘Ah, there is the guy.’

There was one more justification. The guy the empire designated, Galahad whose how survived is questionable.

‘If the guy dies before the engagement ceremony?’

Here is the Grand Duke’s castle. One could sufficiently push as the Grand Duke’s doing. There if weaving the illegal magic tower—.

‘Clean.’

Truly clean. Exactly as if someone prepared—.

The 3rd Imperial Prince’s eyes deeply sank.

Yet there was one problem.

“······The one who built the illegal magic tower is the guy?”

“Yes, heard the guy called Galahad built.”

The 3rd Imperial Prince pondered for a moment. Soon nodded.

‘Have to decorate as the Grand Duke instigated Galahad to build the magic tower, and processed Galahad to monopolize—.’

This degree would clearly be enough.

The core was simple.

‘Galahad has to die.’

If Galahad dies, the remaining things one could sufficiently decorate.

“Bring Galahad.”

The imperial knights nodded.

Even if the matter goes wrong, there was no particular problem.

Because oneself is the 3rd Imperial Prince. To the lofty imperial family this degree is trivial.

“Isn’t so?”

The 3rd Imperial Prince laughed while looking below. There a bound prisoner was trembling with a badeul badeul. The 3rd Imperial Prince stuck the sword into that neck.

At the thumping felt riding the sword the 3rd Imperial Prince felt being alive.

The imperial prince who was fully enjoying the beating suddenly a question rose.

‘Who organized. Quite clean—.’

The report that came up from the Information Bureau was quite clean.

Then, the imperial knights who were leaving the room stopped with a uttuk. The imperial knights stopped with a uttuk as if even broken and looked back at the 3rd Imperial Prince.

At that stuffy appearance the 3rd Imperial Prince furrowed his eyes. The moment trying to feed more blood to the sword—.

“Will you move a bit? Because there is business. Ah, thank you.”

A familiar voice was heard.

The imperial knights awkwardly withdrew. At the figure who appeared between them the 3rd Imperial Prince realized the reason the imperial knight stopped.

There—.

“Ah, seems came matching exactly.”

Galahad was widely laughing. The guy’s appearance was a mess. Scars were full in places. Yet the guy leisurely laughed and waved his hand.

“Fun.”

The corners of the 3rd Imperial Prince’s mouth fully twisted.

“I also very fun. Ah, can I sit a bit? Thank you.”

Even before the 3rd Imperial Prince permitted the guy who already sat expressed thanks.

“Will you give just one cup of tea? A cool one.”

The guy gestured to the imperial knight standing behind.

A crazy guy who makes the imperial knight run tea errands!

The 3rd Imperial Prince sincerely liked the guy. The 3rd Imperial Prince nodded. The imperial knight whose face fully furrowed withdrew back.

“Yes, why came?”

The 3rd Imperial Prince’s voice was soft.

“Wasn’t looking for me? If I come one can save time mutually so good. Because I am a quite busy body.”

Galahad answered while shaking the collar. Leisure was full on that face. There is something. The 3rd Imperial Prince slightly nodded.

“Correct. Was looking for you. Do you know the reason why I looked?”

“Know. Not that male color is the taste, and there is no way the imperial family you learn etiquette from me, so aiming at my neck?”

“Smart. Correct, your neck is needed.”

“Because only one giving is a bit difficult. Will politely refuse.”

The 3rd Imperial Prince largely laughed. To the extent the imperial knights surprised.

Then, the 3rd Imperial Prince’s laughter stopped with a ttuk—. those pupils fully shone.

“Seem needing permission?”

The 3rd Imperial Prince aimed the sword at Galahad. The 3rd Imperial Prince’s sword was all red from the handle to the blade.

“Is that so?”

Galahad lightly laughed. At that the 3rd Imperial Prince tilted his head.

“Is there a reason I cannot kill you?”

“If just saying isn’t it not fun? Use the head a bit.”

At the insult hearing for the first time in life the 3rd Imperial Prince’s eyes became large. Mysterious. To think there is such a crazy guy—.

“Is a hole even pierced in the head?”

“Sorry but, extremely normal. No, rather too excellent so the problem. Because cannot cut the thought.”

The 3rd Imperial Prince furrowed his eyes. Was it just a guy whose head is strange—.

“Come, first let’s pick the reason you are trying to kill me. Would be for the justification of the empire waging war with the North. Correct?”

The 3rd Imperial Prince quietly nodded.

“If killing me seems one can open war? Although my life is quite precious, for such use would be a bit insufficient.”

“There is also the illegal magic tower.”

“Yes, the illegal magic tower! A very strict crime. Yet really an illegal magic tower?”

It was an out of the blue question. The 3rd Imperial Prince’s eyes furrowed.

“There is no permitted magic tower in the North. Making bizarre sounds.”

“Where does the magic tower’s permission come down?”

“Comes down from the parliament.”

“Yes, asked the parliament?”

At Galahad’s question the 3rd Imperial Prince could not answer. Just heard the story. Where is the time to ask.

“Because never heard do not make the stupid sound that it is an illegal magic tower.”

The 3rd Imperial Prince faintly laughed.

“So not an illegal magic tower?”

“How seems?”

“Seems a guy desperately struggling to live.”

The 3rd Imperial Prince slightly pushed the sword. The sword slightly pierced the guy’s neck. Red blood bubbled riding the sword surface and fell.

Aiming a sword at the neck was tremendous pressure. Even if the one holding the sword is the 3rd Imperial Prince needed no words.

Yet the guy had no small expression change either. Just clicked his tongue.

“If a guy desperately struggling to live would have come here? Would have hidden behind the Grand Duke there. Quite comfortable.”

It was quite plausible words. The 3rd Imperial Prince’s eyes narrowed.

“So?”

“It is saying do not look at the tree but look at the forest. Even if I die right now war does not occur. The illegal magic tower is the same. Just a means to press the North more.”

The 3rd Imperial Prince pushed the sword even more instead of answering. Red blood continuously— flowed.

The 3rd Imperial Prince’s sword was a magic sword called the thorn of pain. Even if only slightly pierced that pain would be tremendous, yet the guy rather raising the corners of his mouth.

A real crazy guy.

“So—.”

“This was Gilbert.”

Although not knowing what Gilbert means, the feeling was quite unpleasant. The moment the 3rd Imperial Prince’s eyes trying to fully furrow—.

“If doing do properly. To the extent war certainly occurs.”

The guy brought out unexpected words.

“How?”

Galahad’s laughter thickened. That laughter looked quite dangerous.

“Why is the empire defensive? Because the North and the kingdom alliance exist simultaneously. If only one of the two was not the remaining one would have been eaten long ago.”

Correct words. That the empire parliament is defensive is because the North and the kingdom alliance are intact.

“So?”

“It is completely twisting the relationship between the North and the kingdom alliance.”

If the relationship between the two twists, and war occurs—.

‘The parliament would also move.’

The 3rd Imperial Prince’s eyes became large.

However—.

“How?”

“This one has to spoon-feed all.”

The guy openly exhaled a sigh. If other time, even if an imperial knight the neck would have flown.

But the 3rd Imperial Prince did not swing the sword. Anger did not even rise. Rather thumped. Expected what words the crazy guy would say.

“Simple. Kill the king of the kingdom alliance right now.”

Galahad’s words were simple. The 3rd Imperial Prince furrowed his eyes. With mere killing the king—.

“And pick a quarrel with the Grand Duke. So the Grand Duke cannot endure. Then the Grand Duke would pull all the imperial knights’ heads. Excluding only you. Because the agreement.”

The 3rd Imperial Prince nodded again. Correct words.

So—.

“Kill all and only I survive and spread as if the Grand Duke’s doing?”

“It is the correct answer.”

At Galahad lightly nodding the 3rd Imperial Prince’s eyebrows stiffened.

Kill all the kingdom alliance side, and pick a quarrel with the Grand Duke and process this side’s troops too.

It was a quite blatant and red plan.

So—.

“Suits the heart.”

It was a plan that deeply suits the 3rd Imperial Prince’s heart. To the extent the previous plans looking like trash—.

Galahad raised the corners of his mouth as if knew it would be so.

“Ah, because the Grand Duke might notice, divide the troops. Anyway isn’t the knight level of the kingdom alliance need no words? Sending just one or two imperial knights would be enough to cut the old king’s neck.”

Galahad refreshingly laughed and said.

“You, suits the heart.”

It was sincere. To the extent regretting that one has to process later suits the heart.

“Sorry but, I am a body with a woman to marry. Ah, is the tea still far?”

At the urging the 3rd Imperial Prince laughed with a keul keul.

The imperial knight full of unpleasant look held out the teacup to Galahad. The imperial knight directly serving tea. Quite the appearance was ridiculous.

Then Galahad—.

“This, cooled.”

Overturned the teacup as is.

On the fully furrowed face of the imperial knight—.

The 3rd Imperial Prince laughed holding even the stomach.

****

“Really stay still a bit.”

“Stuffy.”

“Why suddenly throwing a tantrum.”

“Because stuffy. Pumpkin, you because small not stuffy.”

“What small is small!!!”

“No, why suddenly sound······.”

At the knights continuously quarreling the king of the kingdom alliance, Farhansta furrowed his eyes.

Although a question rose whether those blank guys are correct, it was Kerchek’s words.

It was Kerchek who possesses wisdom like a star. It was clear Kerchek arranged for Farhansta.

‘Kerchek—.’

Farhansta muttered the barbarian’s name, and felt peace like a grassland.

“A strange smell is coming······. Pumpkin, did you fart?”

“Don’t bullshit. Really.”

······Felt a quiet peace.
