How To Survive as a Crazy Prince

“I think I’ve figured out enough of this. You worked hard.”

“Ugh, ugh. Ugh gg gg play. uh uh uh… … .”

Fromm laughed and said to the prisoner. The captive trembled and made a sound like a beast groaning.

“You’ve had enough, and I can’t seem to torture you any more.”

Looking at the distorted man with more than half of his body rotting away, I smiled. It’s okay to be alive. No, it looked like it couldn’t even be said to be alive.

“I can still do more. I only touched parts that didn’t affect life.”

As if proud of himself, Fromm confidently raised his hand to his chest and said. It was the usual, no, rather, more energetic than usual, but it was a little creepy to think that the pride came from turning a human being like a rotting corpse.

This was the image of Sangkyung’s notorious nursing officer and torture technician, Namjanggyeong Fromm’s student days.

‘I thought it might be crooked later, but he was originally like this.’

In the original story, there were not many episodes related to Fromm. It was only treated as the person in charge of the health room, to the extent of showing up occasionally and giving treatment and telling them not to fight. When he later reappeared as such a psycho (he used to be this kind of kid), he talked a lot about this and that.

“First, let’s organize the information we have obtained.”

Proud went through the memo with the prisoner’s remarks from the beginning.

“At first, they gathered here just for the purpose of survival, but about half of them were defeated by the monsters here, and the person who appeared then——”

After glancing at the notepad to see if he had written something wrong, Proud continued.

“It’s an elf.”

It was actually one of the sub-species known to have been destroyed.

“So you’re saying that the green elf helped you?”

Everyone looked suspicious as if they couldn’t believe it.

“Maybe it’s some kind of password.”

Fromm tilted his head and said. There was talk that it might be so, and if Fromm was a code, he was excited that he would torture him further to find out the meaning.

“There’s a chance it’s a real elf.”

I made an opinion.

“Anyone with the mental strength enough to be able to tell a lie while his entire body is rotting away would have somehow killed himself sooner or later.”

In the original story, no elves appeared in this part. No, in the first place, the elves themselves did not exist except for ‘one’.

“What if there really were elves?”

However, given the current situation, I suspected that there might be just one elf. And if that suspicion is true——.

“… … It will be very annoying.”

It will be very annoying. Just like Mi-ryung said.

“Hey, is it okay if I tell you? If you allow it.”

As if belatedly realizing that she had said something, Mi-ryung stuttered and asked for consent.

“You helped me a lot. Whatever you say.”

Proud agreed, shaking his head as if he had nothing to be ashamed of. Dimitri patted Mi-ryung on the shoulder, saying that it was okay to talk comfortably. Mi-ryung shivered as if she was very nervous, then took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.

“Well, excuse me then. Elves, like brutes, can feel the magic of the forest. No, rather than feeling… … The expression of sympathy would be appropriate.”

communion with the forest. It was an ability unique to elves.

“If it’s sympathy, what is it specifically?”

“yes. It can not only read information, but also ask, answer, and give orders.”

Because of it, elves were able to become rulers of the forest early on.

“I don’t know how well it will work against this Twisted Enchanted Forest,”

At Mi-ryung’s words, a commotion arose among the students. Everyone knows that even Mi-ryung’s abilities were of great help, so they felt fear at the existence of those abilities that were more compatible.

“indeed. Thank you for the good information.”

I broke the silence and looked around at the students.

“Even so, they are a race that has already been defeated by Iron Blood. Fundamentally, it is nothing different from the remnants of Saratov.”

The students who were frightened by my declaration raised their heads.

“It’s just a matter of defeating it one more time.”

From noble mtl dot com

“yes. you’re right. There is no reason to be afraid.”

Proud agreed with me. My and Proud’s confidence slowly spread to the other students who were afraid, and it boosted their morale again.

“… … Is the information gathering over now?”

Except for one person, Eugene, whose face seemed to suppress the pain.

“If there is nothing more to gain, I will kill you.”

Before anyone could answer, Eugene drew his sword and approached the prisoner. It was an action to end his life by slashing at once.

“No, you can’t do that!”

Ironically, it was Fromm who stopped it.

“Life is precious. You can’t kill or kill it easily. It’s not even a combat situation.”

Fromm raised his index finger and scolded Eugene as if he were admonishing a child. Eugene’s eyebrows twitched.

“… … Can you say that it is alive?”

“You’re not really dead? It is hidden.”

In response to Eugene’s question that barely swallowed his anger, Fromm narrowed his eyes and replied, “What are you talking about?” The prisoner barely breathed behind Fromm and only occasionally shuddered in convulsions.

“Don’t be ridiculous, that’s not even alive… … !”

“Calm down.”

I came in between Fromm and Eugene. Then, after beckoning the embarrassed Fromm to get out of the way, he faced Eugene.

“You said you’d kill everyone, but you’re surprisingly kind, Eugene.”

“So that’s why I’m going to kill you. What kind of kindness is that?!”

At my words, Eugene shouted in a voice that couldn’t control his emotions as if he was dumbfounded.

“Isn’t it that you’d rather kill me than live in pain, Eugene? What can I say if that is not kindness.”

I shook my head and answered in a relaxed manner.

“They are idiots who rebelled against Sangvis. Even if he dies painfully, it is his own gain.”

Even if the composition has changed a bit——this was a scene from the original.

‘Even though he appeals with his entire body that he’s crooked, in the end, he’s a good guy at the root.’

If it’s fortunate, it’s fortunate, but I heard that there were few feelings of regret because I was curious about the other developments.

“Anyway… … !”

Eugene shouted in response to my words. I prepared the next line to respond to that.

“Eugene… … ?”

However, I couldn’t come up with Eugene’s words to refute. It was because prisoners intervened.

“Is that Eugene?”

“… … Does it look spherical?”

I, interrupted by the flow, asked Eugene with a chin gesture. Eugene was silent.

“Eugene, is it Eugene… … .”

The prisoner muttered in a hoarse voice.

“Bastard, I will never forgive you… … !”

Then, gathering all the energy from his tattered body, he shouted.

“After all, you have become a Sangvis dog! I knew it, you son of a b*tch!”

The other students, including Yujin, stiffened at the resentful, ghostly voice.

“b*tch, son of a b*tch! Cuckoo, Coke! Coke! Huh Eok. Huh Eok. No, not a son of a b*tch, kuck, kuck… … .”

The prisoner who had been cursing with poor vocabulary laughed like crazy.

“Actually, he was the son of a nobleman! You, your father, were traitors from the beginning! Traitor of Saratov… … !”

“… … !”

betrayer.

It was an insulting title that was the exact opposite of the original work that was praised as a savior.

“You must have looked down on us commoners with pity! You must have been intoxicated with yourself giving warmth to insignificant things! That’s why he died, your father… … !”

Now, let alone moving, the prisoner cursed Yujin while shaking his body. Eugene didn’t respond and just looked at the prisoner.

“You’re sure to die like that… … .”

The moment that curse tried to turn against Eugene——.

“Noisy.”

I swung my sword.

The man’s neck fell to the floor and he fell silent.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t expect it to be so noisy.”

I apologized to Eugene. Eugene just kept his eyes wide open, as if he didn’t understand what had just happened.

“… … .”

Even though he understood the situation, Eugene bit his lip and bowed his head, as if he didn’t know what to say.

‘It’s so annoying.’

A sigh came out of my mouth. I wanted to go a bit like the original, but I never thought there would be another change like this.

“You seem to be thinking about something useless, so let me give you some advice.”

I frantically shook my head, thinking about what to say to Eugene.

“Did this corpse call you a traitor?”

“… … okay. That’s right.”

“that’s right. That’s not wrong.”

When I briefly affirmed it, the surroundings became agitated. At this point, worried eyes poured out as if the prince was trying to pour out his accumulated irritation.

“But we benefit because you are a traitor. We are grateful for your betrayal.”

“… … .”

“If we destroy them one by one, there will be no one left who calls you a traitor. Then you are just a wise person who made the right choices.”

“… … .”

Eugene did not respond to the lines I forced.

What else do I have to say, I am very tired. Should I just tell him to go out and die? In the middle of such mixed feelings——.

“… … thanks.”

Eugene said briefly.

“It’s just something to be thankful for. If I had known it would be that noisy, it would have been better to put it on the pillow.”

Eugene didn’t answer my joke. He just stared at the prisoner’s corpse in silence, then trudged away from me.

“I ended up killing him… … . I expected it to be a good teaching aid.”

“You too, do it in moderation.”

The work of the Saratov remnant prisoner was over by arguing with Fromm, who was grumbling until the end.

However, one stifling suspicion remained in my mind.

Is Eugene really a traitor?

Time passed and the third search began.

Students who had one failure and one success were now able to move without hesitation.

‘I never thought I’d get used to the battlefield this much in just two days.’

There may be many parts that are not skilled, but their minds have grown rapidly in two days. If you put it on the battlefield right now, you can use it enough as a bullet cannon. I don’t know more than that.

“Icicle Lance!”

“Grrr… … . That’s right. Whoa, ha. haaa… … . It looked ugly.”

However, the students started to produce results as if they wanted to raise the evaluation that stayed in the cannon fodder in my heart.

Dimitri pierced one of the remnants with an Icicle Lance, and Mi-ryeong chased after the fugitive and cut off his waist with his beastly arm. With skillful command, Proud narrowed the siege around the presumed stronghold of the remnants.

At this rate, I hoped that I would be able to finish the elf and all things neatly.

“… … Ugh!”

However, as if to warn her that those expectations would not come true, Mi-ryung suddenly knelt down as if her legs were losing strength. The students who approached Mi-ryung in surprise and asked what was going on were also in pain, unable to control their bodies as if in pain.

“What, what is it? I can’t breathe… … .”

“Cheuk! Kuk, heo, heo, heo, heo!!”

“… … Everyone shut up! Magical power in the air is being polluted! Hold your breath as long as possible!!”

I belatedly figured out the situation and shouted. And I was angry inside.

‘Damn it, it’s too fast! Don’t be funny!’

This was an attack that appeared near the end of the original work as well.

A technique that contaminates and spreads the magic of the air, like a kind of poison gas.

There was only one elf who could do such a thing——.

He was slowly coming here.
