A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

178 – Isn’t It Up to Your Interpretation? (One)

St. Geo Nostrum.

A man who lives life as if there is some ‘next life’.

When he was young, he acted as if he was living hard for ‘this life’, but after Charlotte Lembourg Gunther was taken away by Crimson Gibraltar – and he was the only one who thought so – he thought that this life was probably good.

Simply put, he is a man who is just living life.

He is living so young that some of the kingdom’s loyal soldiers think that ‘Naria Geo Nostrum’, whom they heard about through his sons and daughters, is in fact the next king.

Isn’t that obvious?

Timing is important.

Saint Geo’s age is similar to my father, the Crimson Earl of Gibraltar.

If you think about the average lifespan of a human being, you may live as if you live less than that average lifespan, but if you think about the average age of Nostrum’s past kings, there is a high probability that he will live to at least 60 years old.

Normally, the king’s position is passed on to the next king after the previous king dies.

But some time in the future, they will openly mention Saint Geo Nostrum, who is in his 40s, as the next king?

Who can say something easily?

Let’s change the name of Saint Geo Nostrum, who is just out of service but still has no health problems, to the king ‘just because the next successor has become a saint’.

So no one dared to mistreat the incompetent king.

If a person had the personality of a pushover, he would have criticized him openly and indirectly, but since he was a person who felt sorry for the second family in the kingdom, he could not easily criticize him behind his back as well. Br＞

The same goes for holding competitions in the kingdom.

No noble in the kingdom openly tries to win when a ‘royal family’ enters the competition.

If you look at the royal family with disgust, even if you smile and move on in that situation, there will be a situation in the future where they will grab even a speck of dust and accuse you of treason.

From the beginning.

If there was at least one person who could say that, Saint Geo would never have stolen the magic automatic ship or s*xually harassed Countess Charlotte.

Ah.

There was something.

It’s just that they are all buried in graves now, and probably on the day they died, knights in golden armor suddenly came to their rooms using invisibility magic.

A situation where everyone knows but cannot bring themselves to talk about it.

Even though I know that sound criticism is necessary, I cannot bear to speak up because I know that if I speak out, I will be strangled to death the next day.

It may seem like something, but if you endure it and endure it, you will be waiting for Naria Geo Nostrum to become king and change Nostrum.

Even if you get drunk and run out on your own at the Kyungryong competition and claim to win first place, no one can say anything.

“They say I’ll scold you.”

I run.

No matter who is following behind me or whether the wizards who are firing in front of me are embarrassed.

“What?”

The blond-haired, red-eyed man who deviates from the set track, jumps onto the castle wall, runs in a straight line without turning, and tries to somehow fly ahead of me is not blushing because he is drunk, but because he is embarrassed and angry. Malden.

“Nidhogg. Faster. Can you handle it?”

Purrrr!!

I emit magical energy behind the staff to act as a ‘booster’ for Nidhogg, and Nidhogg flaps his wings widely and receives the acceleration to run faster along the track.

Kwa-eu-ang!

An explosion fired by a wizard blocks the view.

For a moment, I looked at the top of the castle wall, and the weak-looking young man who had almost cried and cast a spell at me suddenly became meditative.

One person is in power in this country right now.

He spewed out unspeakable swear words and gave the king’s command to attack that arrogant guy over there, so he had no choice but to attack –

“The future seems brighter for the empire than for the kingdom.”

Wow!!

Nidhogg shouts at the deflagration, driving it away and flying forward again.

Nidhogg’s gaze glanced at the wizard, and the wizard’s face became paler.

What can we do?

The current person in power is told to attack the person who may become the ‘next emperor’, or at least the son-in-law and sire of the empire whom the current emperor is said to care more about than his hidden illegitimate sons

If you don’t attack, you become a traitor from Nostrum’s perspective, and if you attack, you incur the wrath of the Empire’s sire.

Of course.

“Heh.”

I have no intention of inheriting the throne, but I am willing to wear that thorn-studded laurel wreath on my head, even if just for a moment, to show ‘justice’ to that drunkard who took advantage of the situation and committed foul play .

‘In the first place, I went to the empire and called you Emperor in order to use my power at a time like this.’

If it doesn’t help in times like this, then why am I trying to make the Habsburgs sound good?

‘It’s too dangerous to use my father as a deterrent to the incompetent king.’

My father is the one who will pick up the sword first.

“You traitor–!”

The short-thinking man who just passed by behind me, pointed a point at me, and talked about ‘treason’ doesn’t think about the level of his remarks.

“It’s a good thing that sound isn’t transmitted to the screen in real time.”

If the current situation is shown on the screen, and if there is someone who recognizes what the Incompetent King said to me through the shape of his mouth.

“Still, he’s the eldest son of the ‘Gibraltar’ family, and he talked openly about treason? Haha.”

He’s probably worried that he’ll fall over holding his head by now or that a civil war will break out in the kingdom.

“Until now, it was a child given away, but from Nostrum’s point of view, it was a child given away.”

Flap.

“And at times like this, the empire will be more willing to embrace Gibraltar.”

When it was the guardian of Nostrum, Gibraltar was on Nostrum’s side even if it suffered all the stigma, but if it is in a ‘neutral’ position with its sword and shield lowered and its hands extended to the left and right, Gibraltar’s position is quite different.

If you side with Nostrum, you will continue to play your role as the traditional guardian of the kingdom.

Standing on Thersian’s side?

It becomes the first blade towards Nostrum.

“I really don’t know what you’re thinking.”

For a moment, I felt motivated to read the Incompetent King’s thoughts, but I had to keep an eye on the front where Nidhogg was flying.

“Oh my.”

“…Gray Gibraltar!!”

Front.

Captain Zeros Barcel, a loyal soldier for St. Geo, is guarding the finish line.

To say that it might be shameful shows a certain amount of that person’s thoughts.

“If Naria Gio Nostrum becomes king, it looks like the entire Knights of the Golden Dawn will be abandoned, so we will have to serve Saint Gio somehow.”

Armed groups that are not loyal to the current king, such as the former king’s private guard, are simply targets for purge by the next king.

“How dare you try to win?!”

“So I will stop it.”

The speed does not decrease.

The opposing dragon seems to have decided to leave the victory or defeat to the rider’s sword strike rather than a competition in speed, and is hovering as unwaveringly as possible so that Captain Zeros can focus on the sword strike.

Up, down, left and right.

No matter where you avoid, deadly auras come flying in.

“That’s right.”

I pulled Nidhogg’s reins three times.

Nidhogg, recognizing the signal, slowed down for a moment, and I stood with my left foot on Nidhogg’s back.

“I don’t know anything else, but would you please show me your sword-wielding skills in front of everyone?”

On the first track, I swung my staff at an angle that others could not see and deflected the attack.

Although he is not in a position to carelessly reveal that he uses Auras, he nevertheless uses his Auras in front of the finish line where everyone is watching and tries to shoot me down.

Even if I were to use Aura to respond, I would be revealing to the world that I am an Aura user – ‘Master’.

“At least we can die together.”

That can’t be possible.

“Nidhogg!”

Ta–ah.

I stepped on Nidhogg’s back with my left foot and jumped loudly.

It must have been difficult to jump on one foot, but I was able to jump high because Nidhogg bounced me up so high that everyone in the audience could see.

“What… ?!”

“Fighting from the front is not the answer.”

I pass over the head of Captain Zeros, who looks up at me for a long time.

While jumping, he deliberately turned his body over his, and at the moment he passed directly over Captain Zeros’ head, his legs were pointing towards the sky and his eyes were looking down.

From noble mtl dot come

Somersault.

Any knight can do it easily, but it is not easy to do it on a dragon flying at high speed in the sky.

Kyaaa!!

There is a lot of screaming in the stands, but there is no need to worry.

If I were to fall like this, I would be dead, but unlike me, who was floating high, a shadow soared under Leader Zeros.

Gray shadow.

I grabbed the step behind the shadow with the handle.

Flap.

Gray wings flutter, crossing the finish line.

After crossing the finish line at overwhelming speed, I flew down the center of the track, holding on to the footrest that was on my foot instead of my ankle with my left hand.

It’s quiet.

Aside from the fact that first place is Gray Gibraltar, everyone is drooling at the golden dragon flying slowly from behind.

Some people want to leave immediately, calling me ‘that tactless’, but I didn’t get first place because I was tactless.

“Nidhogg. Well done. Now…”

Purr.

Nidhogg turned, flapping his wings more nervously than when he had run so far.

Even when he was mockingly jumping over the remaining 19 (+1) senior and junior drakes, the guy who was flying casually suddenly became nervous and moved his wings slowly.

‘Guy.’

You probably know that this moment is the most important.

Gyeongryong, who is said to have arrived in first place before the king, knows very well that this is all a ‘process’ for this moment.

Hunting competition.

Drivers who achieve excellent results sometimes do things like that.

I offered the deer I caught to Lady So-and-so.

Sometimes I wondered why on earth he would do such a thing.

I think I can understand, at least a little.

Flutter, flutter.

Heading toward the VIP bleachers, Nidd Hogg flaps his wings cautiously, and I land with my left foot on the railing of the bleachers and kneel down with my right leg.

“My Astasia.”

VIP seats, in front of Astasia where imperial students are sitting.

“I will dedicate the honor of first place to you.”

I extended her hand to Astasia, and Astasia extended her hand to me with a blank look on her face.

“The honor of being first place, to my beloved Lady.”

If the incompetent king suddenly jumps out onto the track is the probability of an incompetent king.

“I flew with all my might to give you the honor of being first place.”

It is Gibraltar’s probability that he will not hesitate for the woman he loves.

“My love to you, princess.”
