386. Conflict (3)
There was great commotion for some time in the Council of Cyprus.
The little saint who came running to subdue the demonic beast was caught in a fire as soon as she arrived due to the carelessness of the workers.
An unexpected accident that not only raised questions about the stability of the secret weapon they had confidently prepared, but also could have caused great diplomatic friction between Cyprus and the Holy Empire if they were not careful.
The good news was that, except for one council member, there were no major injuries.
[Ancient Fire], a chemical weapon that is said to not be extinguished once it catches fire.
The box exploded right in front of the saint’s eyes, but she lost consciousness for a moment and not a single scratch was left behind. She was truly amazing.
‘Ah, Lord! thank you!’
‘They said it was a small grace from the Lord, and it’s true! If something had happened to Sir Sisley, Delcross’s subjugation team might have raised their swords at us instead of at the demonic beasts!’
Should I be glad that the worst was avoided?
Of course, the elders and council members did not dare to express that thought outwardly. After all, the one injured person was the eldest son of Elder Chryses, the most powerful person in Cyprus.
“They say Ambrose has just come to his senses! He suffered serious burns all over his body, but fortunately his life was not in any danger!”
“Oh oh! It is truly the care of the Lord! “Didn’t you say that you were at the center of a big explosion and that your whole body was engulfed in an ancient fire that could not easily be extinguished?”
“I heard Prince Logan saved you in time? “He’s always in good health, so those burns will get better quickly if he gets treatment from the priests!”
Other elders relay the news of the accident and carefully watch Chryses.
However, Elder Chryses did not show any interest in this and seemed to be thinking deeply about something.
“… “Let’s continue the strategy meeting tomorrow.”
After a while, he declared in a low voice.
“The order now is to first resolve the accident and then inspect the ‘ancient fire’ again. A proper strategy meeting will probably only be possible after that.”
Even though my son almost lost his life, his reaction was strangely dull.
As the elders and council members muttered in confusion, Elder Chryses slowly stood up and added,
“Tell the punitive force to be treated more hospitably today. Aren’t they the grateful people who willingly extended a helping hand to the citizens of Cyprus? “On top of that, you saved my son’s life, so I don’t know how to express my gratitude.”
With those words, the older man walked out of the conference room with strides. With a stern expression without the slightest hint of gratitude.

“You are very fortunate, Mr. Ambrose.”
And the person involved in the accident was currently sitting in bed, smiling softly at the people surrounding him.
“yes. This is all thanks to the saint and Prince Logan. “Being by the side of two people who were favored by the god, the invisible hand of care extended even to me, a humble person.”
“Could you please lower your posture for a moment? “I will change the bandage on your shoulder.”
Ambrose of Helios, his condition could not be said to be good even with empty words. When Logan ran, his body was already engulfed in high-temperature flames along with highly flammable substances.
Although Logan quickly put out the fire and joined forces with Sisley to pour out divine power, most of his skin had already melted due to severe burns.
The areas with large and small blisters are in good condition. Most of his upper body and right arm had already turned completely gray and hardened.
Evidence that the muscles may have been completely cooked beyond the deep layers of the skin.
But despite such severe injuries, the man was smiling with an innocent face.
“It was a shock so strong that it shook the very foundation of my soul.”
At the time of the accident, his face was intact, except for part of his lower abdomen, as he was covering it with a mask.
Ambrosius struggles to move his remaining skin and smiles a rather charming smile.
“It was to the point where I thought a part of my soul had really died. It can’t be anything other than a truly fortunate and sad thing. “Thank you again.”
What on earth is happy and sad?
Sisley, who was somehow caught by a strange feeling, looked closely at Ambrose.
‘The author is the Prince of Cyprus… … .’
He was a very neat-looking man. Bright blonde hair and a sharp, strong lower crown that is rarely seen in the eastern part of the continent. A voice that is soft and polite, but at the same time has a pressure that makes you nervous.
According to rumors, it was said that he was close to young age. However, in Sisley’s opinion, he seemed too mature for his age.
‘… what? Haven’t I seen this person somewhere?’
Even though it was clearly their first time meeting, Sisley felt strangely familiar to him.
As it turns out, she wasn’t the only one who felt that way.
“Ambrosius. “It would be presumptuous to ask under these circumstances, but have we met somewhere before?”
In response to Logan’s question, the man’s eyes widened as if he was amused.
“well. At least not from what I remember. Even so, the construction work was so busy that I never visited the Holy Empire even during the birthday party.”
truth. Although there were some subtle nuances, the man’s words were clearly sincere.
“Why on earth did you think that way? If it’s not rude, do you mind if I ask why?”
“It’s nothing special. “I just thought he looked a little like someone I knew.”
“ha ha ha… . “I’m so glad you feel that way.”
Ambrose, who had been letting out a low laugh, froze his face for a moment as if he was experiencing strong pain.
“Well, I guess there’s no place to guess. Do you know? “My mother was the youngest sister of Grand Duke Asein.”
“then… … .”
“exactly. “Your younger brother, who is famous in many ways, is like a distant relative of mine.”
“… … .”
… Mores’ relative?
Logan closed his mouth with a stern expression. To be honest, there was nothing about that guy other than his bright blonde hair that reminded me of his younger brother.
In addition, there was a slight discomfort that was getting on the sword master’s nerves from earlier.
It was truly a strange thing.
Ambrosio of Helios has always maintained a polite and gentle demeanor from the beginning, but strangely, Logan felt that it was difficult to treat him calmly.
“Big… … !”
At that time, Ambrose let out a soft moan again. The therapist’s hands that were peeling off the hardened skin must have touched a nerve that remained unburned.
Dots of red blood come out from the cloth that is being wiped off the messed up skin.
“… “I will help you with treatment.”
As Logan’s hand went to the wound, Ambrosius quickly shook his head.
“I decline. I am not shameless enough to expect any more effort from those who have generously poured out their divine power so far. “The therapists in Cyprus will take care of everything from now on, so you two can get some rest.”

“… … .”
“As an aside, I would like to properly thank you two. If it weren’t for you, would I have survived until now? So, will you please stay at my father’s mansion this evening? “I hope you give me a chance to repay this favor in some small way.”
Kkugit-
At that time, he felt a hand gently pulling the collar of his uniform from behind.
“Brother.”
Sisley’s voice sounded somewhat nervous.
Logan, who realized the youngest’s intention without even looking back, shook his head in a polite manner.
“Similarly, I am not shameless enough to expect a seriously injured person to be treated as a guest. “We will be leaving now, so please rest comfortably and focus on your recovery.”
After giving a cursory greeting, Logan held Sisley’s hand and hurried out of the treatment room.
I felt earnest eyes looking at him from behind, but I didn’t want to worry about him anymore.
[…] I wondered why that evil thing had to send me along, and it turned out that there was a dangerous person here.]
It was Seo Yi-seo, or rather Cadmus, who greeted the two outside the door of the treatment room.
The iris, shining brightly in gold, tightens as if assessing the scene inside the closed room.
“Do you know someone?”
I asked without thinking, and the answer I got was shocking.
[At one time, I thought that was a close friend. Before I was fooled by that guy’s sweet words and wasted 700 years in a coffin.]
“… yes?”
Logan and Sisley exchanged looks.
Are you really someone who knew the first king? Could that be possible?
Ambrose of Helios probably didn’t live for a thousand years, but how on earth did that happen…? … .
[Descendants.]
Cadmus growled and continued, paying no heed to the two people’s embarrassed looks. The gaze toward the treatment room door still had a menacing glow in it.
[If possible, it would be best not to encounter the author any more. Both you and Sisley.]

Wong!
A powerful cry echoes through the hallway of the main palace. Seongjin stood up with a smile on his face.
“Max!”
The first thing Seongjin did as soon as he woke up from his sick bed was to call the wolf dog that was kept in the palace courtyard.
As soon as permission was given, Max rushed in like the wind, sat down in front of the bed with his feet together, and began to cry mournfully.
Whoa!
-How could you do that to me? Why did you leave me for so long?
“I’m sorry, Max. “This was all done for you.”
Awww-!
-You knew I was waiting! You knew I was calling!
“Okay, okay. I did everything wrong. “I’ll play with you more often from now on, okay?”
Kiyiing.
Then the wolf-dog appears a little more relaxed and gently wags its tail.
“Wait a minute. There must be a bag of snacks that Edith packed here somewhere… . Ah, here it is! Do you want a snack, Max?”
When I waved a piece of beef jerky around to soothe him, Max immediately raised the corners of his mouth and waggled his tail.
Then he immediately jumped up on the bed and started licking Seongjin’s face like crazy.
??!
“no! Ugh! Max! Eating a snack… ! Ugh! “It tickles!”
Seongjin was rolling around on the bed with Max. Owen’s eyes widened as he watched the mess.
“what? “Do you think that noble, mean-spirited guy can be cute like that?”
Lose your temper? Who on earth?
“Are you really talking about our cutie Max? “Aren’t you mistaken?”
When Seongjin asked, barely pushing the wolf-dog away, Max vigorously responded to Owen.
Wong wong!
-that’s right! You are wrong! Just as my master said, I am strong, huge, and even cute!
Owen was overcome with a great sense of betrayal by his calm and shameless attitude.
“No, that guy really! While my owner was sick, I fed him every day, gave him snacks, and even took him for a walk… … !”
Kiing.
In response to Owen’s complaint, the wolf-dog slowly turns his head and whines. Then Seongjin’s eyes suddenly became sharp.
“Owen! You’re a bastard! Why are you mistreating a dog that knows nothing? “What does this little thing know?”
“no… … !”
Hey, wait a minute! Can’t you see those shameless expressions on your faces? Do you really think that guy doesn’t know anything!
As Owen gaped in bewilderment, Edith, who was standing behind him, muttered in a somewhat sorrowful voice.
“Hehe, your Majesty will probably get used to that cowardice soon. This isn’t something that happens in a day or two. Yes, it’s all just a futile effort.”
