I became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 157
Chapter 43 Compensation (2)
The silence that follows.
The reason Simeon thought so was because of the overwhelming interest of Luminous, which had never existed in the history of the Church of Light.
So the Pope thought.
There must be something special about a being that is different from mortals for it to receive this much attention from the divinity.
And that wasn’t possible simply because he had the best bloodline in the empire or the destiny of a world-shaking revolution.
Even heroes who only appeared twice in history only received oracles once or twice.
If so, it was clear that there was something more to Prince Sion.
In addition, there was no doubt that they had done such great service that the god they served directly expressed his gratitude and gave them a reward.
When we put those two things together, the conclusion that can be drawn is that Prince Sion is an annihilator.
The Annihilator had a status so high that he overpowered Belial, the strongest fallen angel, and was even credited with saving the City of Light.
‘Of course, it’s a huge leap.’
I really did bring it up just in case, but Simeon already knew that it was impossible.
Although he enjoys great fame these days, Prince Sion was a person who had fallen so low that he was called a disgrace to the imperial family until less than a year ago.
It is unbelievable that such a person could surpass other royal family members in such a short period of time and be called a strong candidate for emperor, but it was absolutely impossible for him to surpass even that and achieve the same level as an annihilator.
Nevertheless, the reason they asked this question was because they were very curious as to why their god was paying so much attention to Prince Sion.
at that time,
“What do you think?”
Zion, with drowsy eyes, smiled slightly and asked back at the Pope.
Simeon looked at Shion with shaking eyes for a moment at that ambiguous answer, then laughed once and opened his mouth.
“Of course that can’t be possible. “I’m sorry for suddenly asking a strange question.”
The Pope, who had reached his own conclusion, immediately changed the topic.
“… … Our Order has only one reward for you. And that’s the best compensation we can give.”
“What is the best reward?”
“From now on, our Church of Light will support Her Royal Highness Prince Zion Agnes.”
It was an unconventional statement.
Until now, the Church of Light has never supported anyone other than a member of the Church.
No, it was his first time getting involved in a battle for the throne, except for 1st Prince Rubrios.
An event that had no history in history.
“Aren’t you already supporting Rubrios?”
It was definitely something to be shocked about, but Zion, who kept her eyes as calm as the first time, asked Simeon.
“That’s right. Of course, I plan to continue to support His Highness the First Prince. However, if the time comes to take one of the two sides, I think I will lean a little more towards your highness.”
“The reason is that?”
“Of course, the one who benefits the church more is His Highness Rubrios. He is so devoted that he gave up his throne and sacrificed everything to the light, and he is also one of the best paladins. but… … .”
With those words, the same strange light as before appeared in Simeon’s eyes.
“Wouldn’t the Light tell us about the beings that it is most interested in?”
The same eyes as 1st Prince Rubrios.
Those eyes were the unmistakable light of fanaticism.
“He has already received oracles several times that are difficult for even the highest-ranking priests to receive even once in his life, and has even experienced descent and designation. “If we don’t support someone like this, who will we support?”
For Simeon, who revered light more than anyone else, this was the most important factor more than anything else.
Therefore, there was no trace of hesitation in his eyes.
“And maybe, if the First Prince finds out about this, he might give up competing with His Highness. “Of course, I have to make one promise.”
The Pope did not say anything about the agreement.
It seemed like he thought it would be a good idea to hear it directly from Rubrios.
‘Is this why you spoke with confidence?’
Shion thought as he looked at Simeon like that.
I tried to get it someday, but I didn’t expect to gain the support of the Church of Light so easily.
Perhaps the main reason was that Luminous made various interventions to talk directly with him.
‘Even if that statement is false and they side more with Rubrios, it’s a good condition.’
Still, you will be able to use it until you clash with the 1st Prince.
After thinking like that, Shion opened his mouth.
“Not bad.”
“I’m glad you’re satisfied.”
“Then let me give you a gift from me as well.”
The Pope’s eyes were filled with doubt at those words.
“What do you mean by gift?”
“Do you know that the monsters hiding within the church have been discovered?”
“Yes that’s right. “I heard that Your Highness personally removed it.”
“I guess you don’t think that’s everything.”
“… … !”
The young doubt in Simeon’s eyes turned into surprise.
“Then it’s still in the church… … .”
“I’ll weed them out.”
Shion’s eyes coolly sink with those words.
Zion had no intention of allowing any more monsters to set up within the church that had become his.
* * *
Under the full cooperation of the Church of Light, the extermination of monsters was accomplished very quickly.

Is it because it was one of the places where the Demon Station was on guard?
Although the leader Gulihur and most of the demons under his command were wiped out due to the previous incident, there were still quite a few demons left in the main group.
Zion was able to eliminate most, if not all, of the demons that had hidden deep within the church, and it only took three days.
After that, Zion left the church without delay and headed to the imperial castle.
Because everything in the City of Light was over and there was no reason to stay any longer.
“Goodbye, Your Highness Zion. May the blessings of light always be with you.”
Is it because it wasn’t an official visit?
The last people to greet Zion were the Pope, the archbishops, and only a few high-ranking figures who knew Zion’s identity.
Before that, I heard Olivia was looking for Shion herself, but I didn’t bother to meet her because I could see her again when the time was right.
The first place Zion headed to after immediately returning to the imperial castle was,
“welcome… … Eh?”
It was somewhere other than Chimseong Palace.
“You’re here again?”
‘Dream of the Stars’, the world’s greatest treasure trove, located in the basement of Baekseong Palace.
Shion nodded towards the warehouse keeper Bayla, who greeted him with puzzled eyes, and then entered the warehouse.
“It’s nice to see you again, but… … “Why are you here?”
The homunculus asked as he approached Zion.
It was extremely rare for members of the royal family who visited this place once and left with their weapons to revisit before becoming emperor.
Although direct blood relatives could visit at any time, it was impossible to take additional weapons with them.
All you have to do is suck your fingers and look around, but who of the royal family would come back?
“There is something to be gained here.”
“Yes?”
Bayla’s doubts deepened at Zion’s words.
The royal family in front of me had definitely taken a sword from here before.
“Prince, you already know that you can’t take any more weapons from here, right? Of course, you can’t ask for an exchange or return just because you took the broken knife the first time!”
“I don’t think so. “Because I’m just taking something that was originally mine.”
The ‘place where Eclaxia first appeared’ as mentioned by Luminous.
Zion was convinced that that place was a dream of the stars here.
“yes? What does that mean… … .”
Shion looked around the inside of the warehouse, listening to Bayla’s continued doubts.
But I couldn’t see what I was looking for.
‘Is it a little further inside?’
With that thought, Zion opened his mouth to Bayla.
“I want to go inside.”
“… … “I will open it for now, but can you at least tell me the reason?”
Just like last time, the warehouse manager sighed and waved his finger once.
That moment,
Hwaaaaaaa!
A new entrance that appears as the space opens.
It was the place where the highest-grade weapons were stored among the dreams of stars.
“I already told you.”
Shion responded briefly and pushed himself inside without hesitation.
Soon, a feast of legends and mythical weapons unfolds before the eyes of Zion!
Did he even recognize Zion, which has grown tremendously compared to before?
Ugh!
As soon as you step inside, all kinds of creatures start crying towards Shion as if they are courting him.
“her… … .”
Despite having guarded the warehouse for hundreds of years, when Bayla came in after seeing this scene for the first time, she opened her mouth slightly.
Shion took a step immediately.
Shion walks while looking at only one place without even looking at the other weapons.
Gravity Spear Agnus.
The palace of Hafnos.
And even Rigveda, the Sword of Heavenly Rage, which causes the loudest cry.
The Eye of Zion, which has overlooked even the mythical weapons,
‘found.’
It finally came to light.
A half-body of a sword stuck in a corner of a warehouse, absorbing all the surrounding light.
It was the rest of the Annihilation Light Sword.
The location was the same as when Zion first discovered Eclaxia.
“what? Why is there something like that over there… … .”
A voice tinged with suspicion flowed from the mouth of Bayla, who discovered such a sword body after Sion.
She managed the warehouse all day, so she knew where even a jewel the size of a fingernail was.
But even for Veila, I swear this was my first time seeing that sword.
‘Obviously, there was nothing until just now… … !’
Something I can’t understand at all.
In the meantime, Shion reached in front of the Sword God and stretched out one hand to grab the air.
Sreuk-
Eclaxia is naturally caught in the hands of Shion.
Did he realize that his other half was right in front of him?
Wooooow!
The summoned Light Sword of Destruction fell and let out a loud cry.
At the same time, spider web-like lines slowly flowed out from the tip of Eclaxia and began to connect with the cut part of the sword body where it was embedded.
————–!
A continuous combination, and black light bursting out.
“W-what the hell… … !”
With Veila’s shout, the light spread in all directions and finally filled the entire warehouse.
The moment the young astonishment reached its peak in the eyes of the warehouse manager, wow!
The black light disappeared without a trace in an instant, and her vision returned.
What is reflected in Bayla’s field of vision is Zion walking towards this direction with indifferent eyes.
It was a silent sword held in Sion’s hand with a perfect sword body.
“ruler.”
Shion walked right in front of the warehouse manager who was standing still and showed her the perfected Eclaxia.
“This is how it was originally done, so it won’t matter if I take it, right?”
In response to Zion’s question, Bayla nodded with blank eyes.
* * *
“Owner hi~”
After obtaining the other half of Eklaxia, the first person to welcome Shion back to Chimseong Palace was none other than Liu Sina.
She sits on a chair in the study, which was originally Shion’s seat, and waves happily.
“high?”
“Oh, the owner doesn’t know? This is the greeting method I learned at the blood world I went to this time. “How are you?”
“Seeing as I learned those words, I guess I solved the problem well.”
“So, who am I?”
Liu Sina grinned and responded to Shion’s words.
During this journey, she not only carried out Shion’s instructions perfectly, but also gained new clues that allowed her to further develop her blood magic.
Is it because I realized that there is another level ahead of the level I thought was already the end?
The witch’s eyes were full of excitement and anticipation.
“Are you here, Your Highness?”
Next to her, Thierry smiled softly and greeted Sion.
Shion nodded and greeted him, then immediately asked him.
“Anything unusual that happened while I was away?”
“There was nothing inside the imperial castle except for the first prince looking for his highness. However, there was one strange thing that happened outside the imperial castle.”
“say it.”
Thierry hesitated for a moment at Shion’s words, then slowly opened his mouth.
“That is… … A gigantic tower appeared overnight on the western outskirts of the empire. But the tower is as big as a city and its height reaches the sky… … .”
Even as he speaks, Thierry trails off, perhaps because he finds it difficult to believe it.
‘Is it finally opening?’
After hearing Thierry’s report, Ichae began to grow younger in Shion’s eyes.
