Became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 80

Chapter 23: Mystery (3)

A secret branch of the information guild Eye of the Moon that exists in the capital city of Hubris.

“Do you remember what I said last time about there being someone who was presumed to be a hero?”

There, Deputy Branch Manager Allen opened his mouth to Eileen, who was looking through documents.

“of course. “What happened?”

Eileen immediately took her eyes off the document and asked Allen.

“It turned out to be fake.”

“… … “This time too?”

Her eyes are colored with disappointment.

It was already the fourth time.

This is such a waste of money.

At this point, it was easy to believe that heroes did not exist, but Eileen did not doubt that fact.

A few months ago, I already received information that an oracle about a hero had come to the Church of Light, and their movements have been unusual since then.

‘The church is probably also trying to figure out the warrior’s whereabouts.’

I wanted to cooperate and find him, but the church has always kept information about him secret and never revealed it.

‘We need to find it quickly.’

Of course, there was a reason why she wanted to find a hero so much.

Hundreds of years ago, when the first warrior appeared in the world, the world was engulfed in war.

Empire and demon territory.

It’s a huge war that will end only when one of the two disappears, literally putting their survival on the line.

The appearance of a hero again meant that such a war would break out again.

Because heaven has never given power without reason.

‘The current empire does not have the capacity to endure war.’

The power itself may have increased since then, but that power was dispersed rather than concentrated in one place at all.

Because of the power struggle that is still going on fiercely within the imperial castle.

The fight will probably continue until the war begins.

Therefore, Eileen tried to give full power to the warrior side, not the empire.

Because I thought that was more promising.

‘My thoughts have changed slightly now.’

Zion Agnes.

He is currently a person that Eileen implicitly follows, and was also the one who changed her thoughts.

Overwhelming charisma that naturally makes people follow him.

A heart so detailed that it even gave her goosebumps.

and… … Even the incredible force we witnessed recently.

Aside from her cruel nature, in Eileen’s opinion, the person closest to perfection was Prince Sion Agnes.

It’s hard to understand how he was called a disgrace to the imperial family for 20 years.

Eileen was confident that if Prince Sion had started on the same lines as other royal family members without being imprisoned, he would have been closest to the throne by now.

‘perhaps… … .’

Although it was still closer to impossible than possible.

Really maybe.

Such a Prince Zion might have been able to unite the power of the empire before the war broke out.

Therefore, Eileen was currently evaluating the possibility.

at that time.

“Branch manager!”

One of the informants ran into the room where she and Allen were.

“This is urgent news from the Imperial City!”

“Tell me.”

Soon, Eileen’s face began to change seriously as the informant continued.

* * *

“What does that mean?”

Shion asked back at the endlessly strange words.

“Literally. “How on earth are you alive?”

She responds to Shion without erasing the astonishment from her eyes.

“There is no mana in the body. Even the passageways are completely blocked. “Do you know what this means?”

Before Sion could answer that question, the monster continued speaking quickly.

“Mana is one of the most basic elements that make up this world. Therefore, all living things in the world are bound to have some level of mana. Of course, the same goes for humans.”

It wasn’t a question of whether or not one could handle mana.

Just like breathing, beings in this world naturally had to have at least some mana as one of their components.

But the man in front of whom the ghost was now looking was not like that.

As if it didn’t exist in this world.

“It means that people like you should not exist in the world in the first place.”

Even as a mysterious doctor who has lived for nearly ninety years, this was the first time I had ever seen it.

One born to die.

That was the definition she gave upon seeing Shion’s body.

“Obviously, even if I was still alive, I wouldn’t have been alive. Of course, he wouldn’t have been able to handle mana, and even basic movements such as walking or swinging his arms would have been difficult. It must have been difficult for her even to breathe once in a while. If there was a God of Fate, he probably wouldn’t have been planning your fate for more than twenty years. “She would definitely have died before that.”

Such poignant words.

“… … .”

But despite her words, Shion’s expression did not change at all from the beginning.

A strange look appeared in his eyes.

“you… … “You already knew my physical condition.”

How can you maintain your composure while still having a body that won’t be surprised if you stop breathing right now?

“Can you fix it?”

Shion asked, looking at her with calm eyes.

Rather, Shion’s expectations had risen a little higher as Goeyui said this.

In that short period of time, she was able to accurately determine the state of her body.

“… … “You know that you should have died a long time ago, right?”

The monster looked back at Shion and spoke slowly.

“You may have ingested something similar to a quasi-elixir recently. A force very different from that energy is supporting your body. “That’s why you’re moving smoothly now.”

Sion guessed that the things the monster was talking about were the heart and black star of a thousand-year-old ogre that he had previously ingested.

“But that’s just a temporary solution. Someday it will eventually disappear. Before that, the constitution itself must be fundamentally changed… … .”

With those words, the monster frowned as if he was thinking and tapped his forehead with the end of the stick.

Because it was her first time seeing this, she couldn’t immediately think of an answer.

“It is very rare for someone to improve their innate nature like you. But it’s not like it never happened until now.”

Muttering like that, Goeui recalled cases in his head where people had succeeded in improving their innate constitution.

Some of them she had treated herself and some she had not touched, but they all had one thing in common.

“Medium. You need a medium. “It is a medium so powerful that it even overshadows the genetic characteristics of the species itself.”

Originally, it would not be to that extent, but an elixir classified as a special grade such as ‘Solar Apple’ would be sufficient, but in the case of Zion, the ghost thought that even that would not be enough.

“You mean to use the power contained in the medium to forcefully rip out the constitution itself and then construct it anew?”

“… … that’s right. “You understand quickly.”

“So what about that medium, for example?”

“The Precious Blood… … “Something that contains the origin of transcendental species such as dragon blood.”

Both were known to be unobtainable through royalties.

It was known that a few drops of the Precious Blood, the blood of angels, existed deep within the headquarters of the Church of Light, but no one knew its true nature, and the dragons that were once the ruling species of the world had long since disappeared.

“Can I just get one of the two?”

Normally, it would have been a situation where one would have despaired after realizing that it was impossible, but instead, Shion’s eyes lit up and he asked the mystery.

Because one of the things in the chronicle related to that was emerging in Zion’s mind.

“… … okay. But that doesn’t mean it can solve all your problems.”

Strange’s eyes, which had been showing an expression of surprise at the sight of Shion like that, soon began to become colored with interest.

It was my first time seeing Zion’s physical condition and my interest in Zion itself.

“I can’t be sure that my constitution will change, and even if it does, it may be difficult to handle mana.”

“That’s enough.”

Shion responded with a grin.

In the first place, it was Zion who had mastered the Black Star, the power that negates everything else.

Therefore, even if one could manipulate mana, it was of no use.

Therefore, Shion was satisfied with just having the possibility to improve his body here.

“What else should we ask for?”

“The rest of the ingredients I have will be sufficient. Rather than that, shouldn’t you be asking how long I’ll be staying here?”

If you think about it, it was like that.

No matter how many materials were obtained, only one strange person in the world could use them to improve Shion’s constitution.

Plus, she never stayed in one place for long.

“Are you going to leave?”

“Well, I was originally going to leave right away, but… … .”

Goeui, who was talking like that, glanced at Sion and grinned.

“I decided not to do that. I’m interested in your physical condition and I have two letters of recommendation. “Shouldn’t we see the doctor at least once more?”

It was a sight that her acquaintances who knew her would have called unconventional if they had seen it.

Even if he had a hundred letters of recommendation, he was a strange man who wouldn’t even provide treatment if he didn’t like it.

It was very rare for such a monster to show such favor.

“First, I will make medicine with the ingredients I have and send it to you through Ahmad. Take it once a week. Even though it is a temporary measure, it will prevent it from getting worse. And it also has the effect of making us more receptive to the medium.”

“Sure.”

Shion nodded towards the monster and suddenly opened his mouth as if he remembered something.

“But is it possible that it doesn’t work with demonic blood?”

“That’s not allowed. Because it is an elixir of unclean things such as demons. “It’s the same blood, but its properties are completely different.”

Goeui immediately responded by shaking his head.

There was regret in Shion’s eyes.

If it were possible, Priscilla, who has the highest level of demonic blood, could have been used.

Soon, Shion, feeling regretful, got up from his seat.

There was no need to stay here anymore once the treatment was over.

“Three weeks.”

At that time, the monster with the gombangdae in its mouth opened its mouth again.

“It’s time for me to stay in the capital. “Will I see you there again?”

Her eyes twinkle playfully.

It was like asking whether it was possible to find a medium within it.

On that.

“You will see it sooner than you think.”

Shion answered with a grin.

* * *

‘There’s no way my physical condition will be known.’

Shion thought as he went down the mountain immediately after saying goodbye to the ghost.

I don’t know about the world, but at least the people of the imperial castle knew that Sion himself had completely overcome the frail body he had when he was a former imprisoned prince.

In this situation, if his physical condition became known again, there could be people who would try to take advantage of it.

Of course, it wouldn’t shake me that much, but it was true that it would be annoying.

It was for this reason that I hid my identity today.

‘I think the monster’s side will be okay.’

He didn’t reveal his identity in the first place, and the monster didn’t seem to want that either.

From past experience, you probably know that if you try to find out, it will only lead to troublesome things.

‘One person knew me… … .’

There was nothing to worry about there either.

Perhaps he still remembers what happened during the succession ceremony, because he didn’t even try to make eye contact with Shion himself.

However, when he came out of the hut again, the giant and elf man who had woken up looked at him with eyes filled with strange longing.

However, it was closer to a kind of self-love and awe rather than knowing his identity.

-… … Can I see you again next time?

I actually asked this.

‘Maybe we can expand our influence.’

It was when Zion finished his thoughts and had almost come down the mountain.

“Your Highness Zion!”

Someone came quickly from the bottom of the mountain, calling Zion’s name.

It was one of the eternal shadows that served as the driver during the last auction house incident.

“What’s going on?”

Shion asks the shadow with questioning eyes.

That’s because Shion himself has never ordered anyone, let alone Shadow, to come here.

However, with the shadow’s subsequent words, Shion’s doubts disappeared from his mind.

“I think His Majesty the Emperor will pass!”
