Episode 140
The two golden roses intertwined on a light purple background and the noble emblem embroidered on the powerfully fluttering flag symbolized the family of the Prince of Page.
The prestige of the Page family, whose ancestor was Emmitsa Page, who was the founder of magic and whom Karenden cherished as her own daughter, was comparable to that of the five elector families.
But why on earth is the Page family doing this now?
“What are you doing now?”
Sagan shouted, quite displeased that his magic battle was interrupted.
The opponent is the current leader of the magic guild on the page, and no matter how much he is a magician from Sega, he should not commit such rudeness based on simple anger.
However, currently, all causes and causes belonged to Sagan.
“This guy is a traitor who pointed his sword at the Empire. Are you protecting a traitor now?”
“Yes.”
For a moment, Sagan couldn’t believe his ears.
Now What? So?
Not only Sagan but everyone else in the room began to whisper absentmindedly. The ones who were most shocked were the wizards who had supported Madelia as the leader of the magic guild.
“what… … ?”
“Head of the Page family and leader of the magic guild… … ?”
“Did you say you were supporting a traitor? … ?”
So does that mean it was the Page family that planned this treason? If so, the impact this would have on the empire would be close to a natural disaster.
As Madelia Page led her cavalry down the hill, only the sound of horses’ hooves filled the silence, not even a cough.
The cavalry, waving golden roses, soon arrived at the point where the ground had been distorted by the ultimate wizards, and surrounded the boy and girl as if protecting them.
Kasena, probably happy to see him, burst out laughing and ran in front of him.
“mom mom! There are so many things I want to tell mom! You know, I——!”
Madelia only glanced down coldly at her daughter, whom she had not seen in almost half a year, before turning her head towards the imperial army again.
“what? “Mom is strange.”
I asked the Magic Guards and knights, who knew me quite deeply—who had served Kasena since childhood—the reason, but they also gave no answer, as if they had guessed it all together.
“mom? “Mom?”
When he pulled back the hood, Sagan’s eyes widened as he saw Kassena’s face, with his light purple hair clearly visible.
‘Casena? That couldn’t be possible, that child would have died. ‘If it’s really Kassena, that black hair doesn’t exist.’
At that time, Aki’s Abat gauge (which gradually decreases when Lane is not by his side, and when it reaches its limit, Aki bursts into tears) hit bottom, and Aki’s eyes became wet with tears.
“Ooh, ooh, wow…” … !”
In this situation, no one could stop Aki from crying. Except for one person, Lane.
When Lane ran over and took Aki over from Kasena and patted her on the back, she stopped crying as if it had never happened before.
“Don’t cry, come on, you’re supposed to be strong, but what if you cry every chance you get?”
“Ugh… … .”
“Tears falling! “How far away was it?”
The strange sight caused those around him to raise strange—and perhaps valid—questions.
‘what?’
‘Lady Kassena having a baby?’
‘When on earth did you give birth?’
Without even having time to ponder such a strange question, the situation quickly began to reach its peak.
When Madelia’s cavalry intervened, the imperial army immediately began to surround them with a crane-wing formation, but Grypion, perhaps because Rain and Kassena judged it dangerous, began leading his warriors down the hill.
The Empire’s military commander, Johan, who was overseeing the command of the imperial army next to the prince, shouted with a face turning pale with embarrassment.
“Lord Madelia, what you are doing now is a clear act of treason! If you don’t stop the advance of those beasts, you will have to prepare for bloodshed!”
“Wait, wait!”
When the situation he had been so worried about was about to happen all at once, Lane felt his whole body freeze in fear.
“Shut up! If you don’t stop these traitors and beasts, I will launch an all-out offensive this time and devastate the entire area! Do you understand?”
As soon as the order was issued, the archers again loaded their arrows with arrows, and now even the megalith was hoisted onto a field catapult.
In that situation where my mind is going blank due to hyperventilation and everything around me seems sluggish, I wonder why… … .
My mind went cold as I remembered the last smile Varlzen had shown me.
“… … “It is not an animal.”
It shouldn’t be like this, it really shouldn’t be like this… … I realized it at that moment when I could not suppress my emotions with reason.
300 years ago, when wizards looked down on me and looked down on me, I wasn’t particularly angry, but there was a time when Rista got angry.
At that time, I wondered why Rista was so angry… … At this moment, I vaguely understood the guy’s feelings at that time.
“what?”
“I said the prisoners were not animals!”
“What nonsense… … ?”
“It has some fur and looks similar to an animal, but… … That’s not a curse, it’s a blessing! “It is a proof of the great sacrifice that has been made for our humanity!”
At the evil cry that filled the wetlands, the advance of the beast warriors stopped as if it were a lie.
Because until now, there has been no one.
People who talk like that about beasts, people who get angry at other humans on behalf of beasts… … The warriors felt their eyes heating up.
“What nonsense! Everyone in this land knows! “What kind of creatures are those beasts!”
“Apologise, for insulting their honor. If you don’t… … “I have no choice but to be hostile towards you.”
The air, no, the entire atmosphere froze at the absolute presence released in an instant when the boy’s eyes shone coldly.
Beyond the marsh, I heard the cries of ancient demonic beasts running away in fear… … The soldiers holding the weapons felt their hands go cold and even stopped breathing.
The fear felt by the magicians with high magical sensitivity was truly close to panic.
‘What is that…? … ?’
‘It’s a dragon…’ … ?’
The incarnation of the transcendent beyond the horizon of cognition, the infinite magic that transcends the realm of time and rises like a cliff behind the boy’s back in the shape of a dragon, the absolute source.
Unlike the wizards, who were drenched in cold sweat all over and even breathing heavily, the soldier who was unaware of the magical power of transcendence shouted loudly.

“okay? Try being hostile at least once! “Right now, the empire is in a situation where order is collapsing due to the endless threat of the abyss, and we cannot accelerate that crisis by even allowing the entry of beasts!”
“… … !”
“In this situation where we don’t know when something like the Sunspot incident will happen again, there will be no compromise, even if the opponent is the Page family. As the shield and sword of the Empire, I will destroy you here and now!”
As soon as the command was given, the archers immediately tried to pull the bowstring… … what?
It won’t be pulled.
The bowstring was several times heavier than usual. As if pulling a piece of iron rather than a string.
“Apologize quickly! It’s not a beast! “He’s human just like us!”
This was because an invisible finger was pulling the bowstring in the opposite direction, and Leoren, the palace guard, immediately realized the reason and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
‘Wide-area telekinetic control?’
You use telekinesis to control the bows of so many archers?
In that moment, the rune drawn in the air by Cassena Page had a stroke that both Madelia and Sagan had never seen before. She looked like a simplified version of a dragon phrase.
What on earth is that power, and how did that child suddenly become able to use that power?
“Their bodies themselves are a sign of the curse, so what kind of nonsense are you talking about?”
It was astounding to see the traitors being so confident, so Byeongbu-ryeong laughed and shouted. The boy immediately responded with a cry full of passion.
“The beastmen have been protecting the seal on behalf of humanity beyond the Wall for fourteen hundred years! I could overcome the barrier whenever I wanted! Why on earth would you do that? “In that accursed land where there is nothing but cold and the dead!”
“… … !”
“You also spoke of the dangers of the abyss, and that is exactly what you said! “If the wisdom of humanity and the power of beastmen come together, wouldn’t we be able to more effectively deal with the dangers that will come in the future?”
“what… … ?”
“The Abyss is awakening and the age of dragons is coming to an end! “Humanity must unite before it is too late!”
I lost control of my emotions and ended up taking the wrong first step, but I need to speak clearly even now.
With reason and rational judgment.
You must persuade the intellect, not appeal to the emotions.
“what?”
“Are you saying the beastmen are going to be our allies?”
As embarrassed whispers began to arise throughout the ranks, the military commander gasped.
“Byeongburyeong, wouldn’t it be a bad idea to listen to your story?”
When Palace Master Leoren hinted at the suggestion, Byeongbu-ryeong’s face immediately turned bright red.
“It’s sophistry, sophistry! Don’t be fooled by such words! Don’t you know that the abyss always possesses people’s hearts and then devours their souls?”
“… … !”
“The moment you let the beastmen into the empire, the same slaughter as during the Sunspot incident will begin! It’s too late then! Here, we must follow His Majesty’s orders and exterminate them all!”
And when he suddenly raised his baton, flag bearers everywhere raised their flags.
A signal for the entire army to rush in… … As the infantry all raise their spears at the same time and the knights pull their swords out of their sheaths, the metallic sounds of metal scraping against leather burst out violently.
I thought it was really the worst. The reason I fought the Demon City was to attract attention before having a conversation.
Unable to suppress the emotions of a moment, will the situation develop into the worst-case scenario of fighting the imperial army? … That time when Lane was chewing his lips.
“Stop, let me listen to the story.”
That voice rang out clearly and clearly in a situation that had reached the brink of chaos, putting an end to all chaos in an instant.
Crown Prince Raida Eijin.
As soon as the boy prince raised his hand, all the soldiers, one by one, took off their cold sweat-soaked hands from their weapons at the sight of his regal majesty.
“Your Highness, after listening to the story… … “You must not be deceived by the sophistry of the bastard who serves the abyss!”
Heedless of the soldier’s urgent shouts, the prince rode his horse to the front of the line. Immediately thirty of his cavalry, including Palace Guard Leo Wren, followed.
And Madelia, who had waited only for this moment, rode towards the prince.
In the silence, Raida and Madelia finally faced each other at the halfway point. Madelia bowed first to show respect.
“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”
“Lord Madelia. “Okay, can you explain how this happened?”
“That’s not something I can tell you. That boy, Lane Ludwig, can tell you.”
Prince Raida’s gaze went over Madelia’s shoulder to Lane Ludwig, who was holding Aki.
Lane Ludwig… … I guess I didn’t see it wrong. But for what reason did they rebel by dragging the prisoners down?
At those words, the eyes of the city of magic, which had already gone behind the prince and was being built, widened.
‘Rain Ludwig? ‘The grandson of old Scalzi that I saw about 10 years ago has grown up like that?’
Sagan had often heard rumors that the successor to the Ludwig family would enjoy a reputation equal to that of his grandfather and father in Deleiten.
But what?
I also heard that the heir to the Ludwig family died in the Sunspot incident and had a funeral.
‘No, that’s probably fine. ‘It doesn’t matter if it’s a ghost.’
The problem is, how did he get to the point where he could use brain drain at such a young age? … The magic battle with that guy was a truly fantastic time. Can’t we do it one more time? Without any interruption.
“Does that mean you don’t know much about this situation?”
“That’s right.”
“But you said you were brave?”
“yes. Not only that, I, and the Page family, will take full responsibility for everything Lane says, promises, and guarantees to His Majesty.”
Prince Raida couldn’t believe that at all, so he had to question it like this.
“Gong, are you serious right now?”
I will take full responsibility… … Has Lane Ludwig said anything yet? It could be considered a so-called blank check.
No, you could say it’s a risk of your life… … .
But Madelia also knew the true nature of the beastmen. Because it is written so in Emmitsa Page’s diary, which is secretly passed down only to the heirs of the Page family.
“I am well aware of Lane Ludwig’s humanity, skills, and insight. “She can be absolutely trusted.”
“… … !”
“There is no way the prisoners were brought in for treason or something like that. It must have a deep meaning. “Your Majesty the Prince, please listen and judge.”
Hmm… … .
Raida stroked her chin for a moment, wondering if she was lost in thought, and finally nodded.
“Then call me. I will listen and judge.”
Raine, who had managed to put Aki, who was wrapped in swaddling clothes, to sleep, came in front of Madelia and the prince without a moment to catch his breath.
It had been a long time since I bowed in a royal manner, but perhaps because I was holding Aki in my arms, my movements were awkward and awkward.
The magicians of the special forces tried to point out that point, but Raida raised his hand to stop them.
“It’s been a while, Lane Ludwig.”
When the prince took a tone of pleasure, Lane couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. It’s been a while?
“It’s natural that you don’t remember. But I remember you clearly. “It was during the final exams of
“I’m honored to hear that.”
“so? You are now branded as a traitor who incited the beastmen to cross the wall and rebel against the empire. “I thought he died during the sunspot incident, so why did he do this?”
The prince’s eyes, which seemed friendly, suddenly became sharp, as if he was pointing a knife at his chest.
Although I was aware of this after hearing it from adventurers, when I was interrogated by the prince, I felt as if my head had been placed on a guillotine.
You must go out carefully and calmly. Because the opponent is the crown prince of the Holy Human Empire.
“I don’t even think it’s treason. You know that there is no reason for me or my family to do something like that… … .”
“That’s why I’m asking now. “Why did you not hesitate to use treasonous language to let the beastmen into the empire?”
“Your Majesty, I may be presumptuous, but beastmen are not cursed creatures. “They are people for whom Your Majesty should express gratitude on behalf of the empire.”
In that moment, everyone held their breath. What did that guy say to the prince of the empire? Isaka of the special forces shouted.
“Such a shameless—!”
“—I will talk. “Go back.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
“Do I have to say this twice? You guys, take about fifteen steps back. “I will speak alone.”
Due to the majesty of the crown prince, the guards, including the palace and the magic castle, had no choice but to retreat fifteen steps.
“I have to express my gratitude to the beastmen on behalf of the empire?”
“That’s right.”
“Let’s hear the reason. I will judge whether the content is indecent or not after listening to it. Now, try bewitching me, wizard. “Just like back then.”
