A Famous Traitor and Treacherous Genius

60 – For ■■

In a moment.

The nine Whites were taken away by the Knights of Gibraltar, including Sir Mente and Robert, who were waiting in advance.

It was certainly not a good thing to tie a child’s hands with rope, but when the knights heard what they had done, they no longer treated them as children.

An assassin in the form of a child.

‘Before, I couldn’t find out who was behind it, but now it’s different.’

Although the shadow that kidnapped Noir three years ago is dead, we have now secured three shadows and six spare shadows.

‘How does that person move?’

First of all, we will not kill the 9 Whites.

As I told my father, the three shadows with silver will be sent to Morgania, but the remaining six still have room for rehabilitation.

‘They are the perfect children to be noir management maids, so you can’t kill them carelessly.’

If you want to kill them.

If they wait until they become adults and then kill them.

There are only three shadows who tried to kill Astasia, including me.

‘It just worked out. They’re all younger than Astasia, so they wouldn’t dare think of doing anything to Astasia.’

The maids will now work strictly for Astasia and Gibraltar.

Otherwise, their lives could be lost.

‘If you just pour out everything you know for Gibraltar, you can become a true person of Gibraltar.’

They say you are at risk of death no matter where you go, but if you are confident that Gibraltar will protect you, then go to the Empire-

The king of shadows will betray the crown prince.

‘It’s not like the prince’s life is mortgaged like the shadows.’

Unlike those who have already become deep-rooted shadows, those who are not shadows have not made a ‘blood oath’.

‘I wasn’t even exposed to Baek Eun’s existence.’

It’s not like ‘Baek Eun’, who the Crown Prince cares the most about, was caught.

There were only three shadows who brought it in the first place.

‘I hope they understand that we intend to keep them hidden as long as they are useful.’

And even in Gibraltar, the truth will be hidden as much as possible.

‘By the time the crown prince notices, the mental transformation and loyalty oath will have already been completed.’

While the crown prince’s eyes were focused on the south.

‘Now that we have secured the silver sample, all that remains is to secure the raw materials.’

Manufactures white silver.

Not the addictive drug that made the crown prince emperor, but gray Gibraltar-style white silver.

‘I already know the ingredients I need.’

The silver of white silver.

This is a substance that cannot be easily obtained through ordinary methods.

After all, it’s related to elves.

‘Secure the elves and create Gibraltar-style silver.’

Finish.

If you go all the way south along the canyon, there is a forest larger than the county.

‘There’s so much to do.’

I have to manage the people of the Gibraltar family.

We also need to pay attention to the children in the orphanage who will grow up to become knights in the future.

From noble mtl dot come

Now we have to worry about how to raise orphans from the empire to become spies.

Above all-

“Lord Grey?”

“Yes, Your Highness Astacia.”

This girl.

Astasia, the granddaughter.

“Lord Grey, indeed, seems close to his father, the Count.”

“…”

“Oh. You’re not asking me? “What is my relationship with my father?”

“You can’t just say it’s good, can you?”

In response to my question, Astasia smiled bitterly.

“Do you know who my father is?”

“Of course I know. “More than anyone else.”

In this world.

“Perhaps no one knows your father better than I do.”

“Eh, lie. Then … Do you know his name?”

“Of course.”

No one knows him better than me.

“Your Majesty’s father, the current crown prince, is-“

* * *

At that time, the Southern Strait. Kingdom-Empire borderland.

A middle-aged man and a woman who appears to be in her 20s walk on the beach holding her hand.

Their clothes looked very light, and the woman in particular was wearing only a thin dress.

“General.”

The woman, the Countess of Sirene, cautiously opened her mouth.

“It may be new to you, but thank you for saving me.”

“Not much to say.”

The man called General, Captain of the Hayreddin Navy, walked on the sandy beach following the steps of the Lady of Sirene.

“More than that, the night air is cold. I’d better get in quickly.”

“They say I can go back, but the general has to swim back.”

“That’s no problem. Our military ship is waiting nearby.”

“General…”

Lady Sirene shed tears and placed her hand on her stomach.

“Can we do this together?”

“Of course. Even if the Empire tries to start a war with the Kingdom again.”

Hayreddin lightly kissed the Lady Sirene’s hand.

“Even if I give up all the offices and property in the empire, I will definitely come back here for you.”

“Yes. You must… Do that. I will be waiting for you.”

A thick drop of water fell from Lady Sirene’s eyes.

Pooh wow.

A faint whistle sound coming from the dark sea.

“It’s time to go back.”

At her signal to ‘return’, Hayreddin raised her hand and wiped away Lady Irene’s tears and then ran towards the sea.

“General!”

The Lady of Sirene shouted loudly from behind, but Hayreddin just ran and swam in the sea.

“Sa…!”

Splash, splash.

Although she couldn’t hear clearly because of the sound of the water, she could definitely guess what she was saying.

“Humph.”

Hayreddin’s laughter burst out without her knowing her, and she took a sip of the sea water. Then, she closed her open mouth and continued to swim and swim towards the horizon.

Approximately 10 minutes.

In her fog, a figure was swaying in the black sea.

Hayreddin immediately continued swimming towards the figure, and she soon grabbed hold of the rope that had fallen from the figure and climbed up.

“Thank you. For waiting.”

The shape was like a ship, and on the deck, a soldier in a navy uniform, who had lowered a rope, was waiting for Hayreddin with a serious face.

“General. That…”

“Why are you doing that?”

“…Your Majesty has arrived.”

I flinch.

Hayreddin stiffened for a moment at the word ‘Your Highness.’

“It’s okay.”

However, he soon caught his breath and patted the soldier on the shoulder.

“Because this is something that Your Majesty knows.”

“…”

“Where are you?”

“In the captain’s room…”

“Okay. After I change my clothes-“

“He told me to come back immediately upon his return.”

“…Excuse me, but I can’t help it.”

Hayreddin brushed off his dripping clothes and walked across her deck and inside the ship.

A bit of a b*tch-like atmosphere.

The captain’s office was like a place where he lived, but today, the road to get there felt particularly long.

Knock knock.

When I knocked and opened the door, a man with navy blue hair – the crown prince of the empire – was waiting in a black suit.

“Your Highness…?”

“Did you say your last goodbye well?”

He was sitting at a circular table, waiting with an open wine glass and two empty wine glasses.

“…What brought you here? You were resting at the port-“

“Because you want to watch the general’s love from afar? Haha. Sit down.”

Hayreddin bowed his head and sat down on the chair.

“It took a long time to open the cap, but I thought I might have to do it myself. I’m glad. If only it were a little later.. Hehe.”

I couldn’t understand why the crown prince was here, but luckily he seemed to be in a good mood, as if he was a little drunk.

“Have you had a drink?”

“Ah. Yes. I already had a drink. Come and have a drink.”

“I will accept it gratefully.”

The crown prince picked up the wine bottle with one hand and suddenly poured the wine into the empty glass containing Hayreddin.

“Your Highness…?”

“I’m giving you as much as I care for you. There’s a rule that says you can’t drink a full glass of wine, right?”

Because you don’t like the kingdom’s etiquette?

Or do you want to drink it like a sailor fills a beer glass?

I don’t understand.

“Raise your glass.”

However, since it was not a day or two that the crown prince did something like this, Hayreddin had no choice but to accept the cup.

“Gyeong.”

The crown prince raised his glass in a serious voice.

“What do you think humans are made of?”

“…The director is not a philosopher, so I can only speak with a brief insight.”

Jump, jump.

“It is an assumption.”

Hayreddin emptied his wine glass in one go.

“I believe that making love with a woman, giving birth to her children, and starting a family with her is the completion of a human being.”

“What does it mean to be a married man?”

“…I’m sorry. This is my first time.”

Hehe. No. There’s nothing to be sorry about. I just wanted to ask your opinion.”

The crown prince twirled his empty glass and smiled slightly.

“Power. Wealth. Honor. Status. Love. I have asked countless people what human perfection is, but not a single one has given me the same answer.”

“…”

“Why but? Ah. I’ve never heard of someone asking this before?”

The crown prince was still smiling with a face full of alcohol.

“I’ll tell you the answer.”

“…”

Something.

It sends a chill down my spine.

“I think so. And this is the truth.”

It’s not like he puts drugs in his drink or anything, but the wine left in his mouth his tastes like the blood of an enemy splashed into his mouth during battle.

“Humans are completed through death.”

“…!!”

“Gyeong.”

Hayreddin suddenly got up from his seat.

“Your Highness-“

“Slow.”

Kwa-euang!

The moment she got up, Hayreddin was already looking at the ceiling.

“Why? Why? Don’t ask questions like that. It’s all because I have a plan.”

Kuuuk.

The crown prince presses down on Hayreddin’s chest with his foot.

“Whoops, whoops, whoops… !”

“Still, isn’t it a human duty to let others know the way they are going?”

He tried to somehow grab his foot with both hands and pull it away, but it was as heavy as a block of rock that he couldn’t move with any human strength.

“By your death, you will become a bridge between Nostrum and our great empire – ‘Thersian’.”

“Um, Your Highness…?!”

“General Hayreddin. Assassinated by the Empire’s main faction.”

Hayreddin could not understand.

He listened to the explanation, but he couldn’t understand why he had to die.

“There is a woman in the palace who is making a lot of noise, and she wants to send her away by tying her with her right hand man.”

“Keuuu too

“Somehow, that look in his eyes. It’s an look in his eyes that asks if there are many other ways even if he does not die.”

The crown prince blinked his eyes and tilted his head.

“I have already thought of my will. One as a soldier of the empire. One as a man in love with a noble lady of the kingdom. Which one would you prefer? Oh, you like both? Yes, I will take care of everything.”

“Your Majesty, why…!”

“Think positively. Your name will go down in history. As a symbol of peace between the two countries.”

“K, keuuu too

I don’t understand.

Even if you use logic, reason, and everything else, you cannot accept what that being says.

“Why are you refusing so much? I don’t understand.”

Just one.

A sense that had helped Hayreddin for a long time found the right answer.

“Do you really think that’s for my benefit…?”

Intuition.

“Do you think that dying and leaving a name for me is my completion…!!”

“Of course.”

The crown prince.

“It is better to end one’s life in a splendid manner by dying than to live quietly somewhere after falling in love with a noble lady from an enemy country.”

He just spoke quietly as if reading a book.

“Rest assured. I will decorate it as best as I can. I am told that he was killed while fighting with desperate determination against several assassins from the main faction.”

“K, keaaak!!”

Hayreddin screamed and tried to escape, but his only ability was to shake his arms and legs.

“You, you… !”

“Everyone, somehow they are the same. Don’t they always talk informally when they come at the last minute like this? Huh.”

The crown prince laughed and lifted the wine bottle.

“Some of the dead said that. The last words they left before they died were that they would shout my name and leave?”

Suddenly.

When I raised the blade of my hand and cut the neck of the wine bottle, the neck of the wine bottle was cut at an angle and began to shine sharply.

“Just once, shout out my name.”

“You, you…! Thersian…!!”

“That is the name of the empire.”

The crown prince grinned and held the glass bottle upside down.

“Damn you, Habsberg!!”

“Correct answer.”

The crown prince with a bright smile.

“It’s a reward.”

I placed the wine bottle.

Fuuuk.

“…”

Red liquid splashes inside an empty wine bottle and flows on the inner wall.

“The Tersian Empire. Hmm. It’s the name of the founder Thersian.”

The crown prince started to tremble intermittently and lightly stepped on the foot resting on his chest.

“It’s been a long time since I wrote it. So I should change it. If possible, in the name of the great being who conquered Nostrum and unified the entire continent.”

The crown prince spread his arms and smiled brightly.

“Everything is a unified empire, Habsburg.”

Moonlight began to see through the window of the captain’s cabin.

“For my empire.”

* * *

Crown prince of the Thersian Empire.

In the future, a person who wants to open a unified empire in his name

Habsburg von Tersian.

I have to kill him.

For you.
