Goun, who had been imprisoned in the prison of the Red Castle, was rescued by Kajuwea and the frog psychic McRaney. From what I heard, the security of the current Red Castle was poor due to the absence of Duke Solgar and the knight commanders, and it was said that it did not take much effort to escape.
Heavy rain fell while heading to the inn on the hill.
It seemed like there was no intention of stopping. When we arrived at the hill, Kajuwea greeted us. She pointed up the hill with a sad look on her face.
In the face of heavy rain.
he was standing
He stared blankly at the ridge and didn’t look away even when I came.
“I’ve been skipping meals for several days. “I’m holding on because I have the strength, but sooner or later I’ll starve to death.”
“I will take you with me. “Go back first.”
After sending Kajuwea away, I stood next to Goun.
I fell into the rain without saying a word. I don’t want to show unnecessary empathy.
I wish I was like him.
What kind of frustration would you feel?
Cheonan-tong revealed Go-un’s feelings without hiding it.
I hid my strength and did not steal his emotions without permission.
When I met Goun again, he was in a state of exhaustion, like a ruined person.
He lost his right hand, arm and left eye. I’m sure Solgar harmed him, but they didn’t kill Gowoon. In fact, there were traces of using magic to heal Gowoon’s wounds. Why on earth did they keep Gowoon alive? Probably not just for torture.
I’ve been in the rain for a long time.
The damn rain won’t stop.
“Do you want revenge?”
Gowoon’s body, which had been frozen like a stone statue, twitched.
He looks at me with empty, empty eyes.
“Do you want revenge?”
Goun’s voice was powerful and cheerful.
However.
Now his voice only made a screeching sound.
“It was my father who took my arms and eyes.”
A torrential downpour threatened to submerge the world, but it was not enough to cool his anger.
I faced Goun. I did not look away as I watched the frustration and betrayal of the person standing at the end.
“I respected Solgar. “It started with a heroic story told by her mother.”
Gowoon continued speaking painfully.
“Solgar’s fierce tiger who killed the Giant King. A hero who protected the empire from evil. The strongest swordsman. The first sword that protects the emperor… Every time I hear a heroic story, I… I was proud. Even when he broke his bones while stealing and eating a cow’s fodder, when he pushed a hunter who was trying to rape his mother off a cliff, and even when he scooped up filth, picked up rotten bread, ate it, collected six coins and handed them to his swordsman teacher, but only had the money taken away from him and was kicked out. I didn’t give up. I always tried not to lose my nobility. I am a hero. Solgar’s. “Because it was blood.”
Gowoon’s voice was bitterly cold.
However, the hatred filled with burning charcoal did not go out.
“Even though I was an illegitimate child, it was my pride and pride to carry on the blood of Meng Hao. so that. I endured discrimination. I threw away the shame. For the man who gave me blood – I swung my sword just to be recognized. But I… It was a part after all. A wagon wheel, a blacksmith’s anvil, a hunter’s bow. “Maybe even more useless than that.”
Crash!
Blood flows from the corner of Goun’s mouth. She gritted her teeth until her gums burst.
He spit out hatred.
“If I could kill him, I would sell my soul to the devil.”
yet.
He poked his other eye with his finger. I stopped him before he lost his other eye. Goun’s wrists were as thin as tree branches. It is precarious, as if it might break at any moment. His self-harming behavior continued. Even though he got blocked so easily – he didn’t blame me. He just wanted to kill himself.
Daa… … .
Gowoon, who was losing his mind and going crazy, came to his senses thanks to the vitality that Dalbi shared with him.
He stopped hurting himself and got down on his knees. And he curls up his body like a child.
“… Her mom died in an accident.”
“really?”
“Why that day?”
“The day after Solgar’s carriage arrived.”
“Mom, you lost your footing, right?”
“Of course.”
“Why did my mother sink after falling off the bridge?”
“You taught me to swim.”
“… mom.”
Gowoon cried. She was as sad as a child, unable to bear the pure sadness that was welling up without thinking about her dignity, so she shed tears endlessly.
“I tried my best to ignore it.”
“I’m a coward.”
There would always be doubts about his mother’s death in his mind.
He had been ignoring it, but he must have realized the duke’s harsh actions.
I don’t know if the duke really murdered him.
and.
It’s not even that important.
Goun, who was weakened, easily came to his senses just by letting his energy flow.
There are many eyes on Quartz. Goun will stay with the Kosan clan for the time being until he recovers.
I looked up at the sky full of dark clouds.
“Leaders will be busy.”
Right now is not the time.
But he warned me. His biggest mistake was sending Gowoon’s finger away with a simple stroke. To them, Gowoon may have been nothing more than a consumable, but not to me.
“One pillar is enough.”

Soon the map of the empire will change significantly.
* * *
A second meeting of northern nobles was held.
A discussion about Solgar’s unusual actions.
As usual-
It was divided into hardliners and moderates.
A hardliner who wants to suppress the power of the central nobles who are showing subversive movements, even at the risk of armed conflict. They were mainly close associates of the previous emperor and were the legacy of the ‘Demenian Kunkan’, the Kunkan royal family, who survived the Great War. They do not serve the current emperor. It was also for his mother’s sake that he joined Reinberg. If Demenian Kunkan had been a man, they would have been so loyal that they would have plotted against him to have him crowned as emperor.
On the other hand, the moderates are the heroes of the Great War, including my father, and their descendants. Their enemies are not humans, but demons. They are afraid that if a civil war breaks out, the devils who have been crouching in the pit waiting for an opportunity will raise an army with filthy iron claws. They opposed the conflict with Solgar. To them, the civil war was seen as dividing the forces to confront the devil. In particular, Irsch Rom Schwarzen’s speaking power was second only to his father’s. The count advised the hardliners to realize who the real enemy they must face is.
My father withheld his decision.
Monitor, but do not make a preemptive attack.
Defensive stance.
Strong opposition from strongmen.
Then, the moderates counterattacked.
A noisy conference hall.
“No, just because they are quiet now, will their dirty intentions be purified? The calm sea before the storm is the scariest thing. According to the words of the spy I planted… … .”
“You can’t stop! The empire is one, so if we reveal our sword first, what difference is there between them and us? The true enemy is underground, not above ground. “Fifty years have passed and you’ve just forgotten?”
“Is the devil a big deal? If they harbor evil intentions, an army more fearsome than the devil will trample upon the empire. Devil, recently, thanks to the sincerity of Ajibikaism and the activities of that Polestar Confucius… … .”
“conflict! How could a kid who has never experienced war make such outrageous remarks! How can you become a noble and rely only on them? Have you even lost your honor and dignity? “Tsk, tsk.”
“The great general overcame the times, but I guess he couldn’t keep up with the times. It’s different from the past. The power of humans has become stronger, and the weapons of the Free City beyond the sea are said to have the power to make even hundreds of demons tremble. Even if it means making sacrifices for now, it is important to sort out the chaos of the empire and plan a brilliant future… … .”
I had no formal title, but I had a say.
However, I sat quietly and watched their public discussion.
My hands were shaking. I attended for no reason. As the conference room became more heated, my thighs were shaking and my toes were itching. The feelings of confrontation and conflict appear to be Cheonan pain. Red waves bother me. This was a battlefield without swords. My stomach throbbed and I wanted to vomit right now. shit! I should have practiced swordsmanship on my own before coming!
These are not my interests. It’s not a civil war. It’s not the devil.
It’s clear now. Even excluding the Lanistas in attendance.
Melissa and Ushas.
The fact that these two were absent while the situation was becoming chaotic.
“Something big is coming.”
“hmm? Do you have any opinions, Prince Polestar?”
I climbed onto the wide table.
My legs were shaking.
“f*ck!”
Then he shouted energetically at the embarrassed nobles.
“War! War! devil! devil! What are you gawking at? Raise and train your army! Whether it’s a demon, Solgar, or something else, something big is coming! fight! fight!”
It’s clearing! It’s clearing!
Dalbi shouted from the side.
His soul and mine are deeply connected.
In this way, emotions are contagious.
“Kaaak!”
After swallowing the dirty sewage from the great lake, Dalby’s emotions became so intense that he even went crazy. The guy unleashed his power with all his might, as if preparing for an approaching danger. As a result, the situation that was unfolding was such that even I, who had been next to the crazy person for a few days, went crazy. He couldn’t hide his anxiety. I tried to persuade them logically, but what came out of my mouth were crude expressions.
“War… Wait a minute, I’m preparing… … ! Ugh. fight! War! War! be careful!”
As Dalby’s spirit weakened ‘thanks’, Skade Mer’s crazy demon Carnival also added strength to the mess, saying it was right. My power was not pure. Holy relics, Dalbi, and even devils. All kinds of strange powers came together and became the basis of my power. It didn’t matter as long as I gave off some strength every now and then. Lately, I’ve just been hiding my powers. Lanista dived, the Fire Emperor started a fight and ran away, and Duke Solgar was only provoked.
There was no opportunity to vent the accumulated power.
I’m not unaware of this symptom.
This is a phenomenon that mainly occurs in demonic cultists who practice clouded energy –
This was the reason why they liked fighting and were treated as crazy even by the martial arts people who were already crazy.
The more you control it, the more it rebels. The more you sleep, the more it wakes up.
Unable to bear the intense energy, I concentrated the energy flowing into my hands.
“Destruction!”
Quaaaaang-!
Eventually it was released.
I closed my eyes tightly.
Quad Deuk! Quang!
“Ugh, what!”
“Dangerous!”
“That guy, that one! “What are you doing!”
“The roof is collapsing! “Protect the Baron!”
I could tell without even looking.
Shocking noises and screams audible to the ears.
The sound of the roof collapsing.
The Count’s words of criticism.
The conference hall was a mess.
It’s quiet.
I, who radiated power, was just a figure in the scenery.
Myeonggyeongjisu (明鏡止水)-
Daa.
Dalby calmly followed me and took a steady stance.
Even Dalbi, who was like a rabid dog, became quiet under my influence.
“… “Son.”
“Yes, father.”
“What have you done?”
“I don’t know either.”
My father held his forehead and lowered his head.
After that, Alieva will tell you.
The anecdote about ‘Confucius breaking down the roof’, which was only circulated at Quartz Castle, is now no longer unknown in the northern aristocratic society. It is said that my reputation grew even more and that I was praised as the child of the moon. Of course, I didn’t know that it was an expression that Alieva had purified.

“Gagging!”
The man who plunges a dagger into Goun.
“who… sister?”
It was my older sister.
