Became the youngest prince in the novel Episode 82

Chapter 24: Fallen Star (2)

A night when even the moon hid behind the clouds.

“The emperor’s death hastened as planned.”

In a remote area of ​​the imperial castle, a man with no facial expression spoke to a woman wearing a monk’s habit.

“Yes, it will make moving forward easier. “It was a good idea.”

The woman smiles and nods at him.

Now they were saying that it was because of them that the emperor passed away yesterday.

Actually, that statement was half right.

Although they were not the ones who poisoned the emperor with magic poison, it was their fault that made the symptoms quickly worsen.

“Furthermore, the Imperial Palace will also become more chaotic.”

Originally, they had no intention of messing with the emperor, but the death of 3rd Prince Enoch caused things to go wrong for them as well, and the solution they came up with was the death of the emperor.

Although the recent imperial castle was very chaotic and eventful on the outside, it was not the chaos they had hoped for.

It was all something that happened under the leadership of someone other than them, and even the imperial castle seemed to be stabilizing after the chaos.

The emperor’s death will be the starting point that will change the current situation.

“Where should I move first?”

The man opened his mouth towards the woman who mumbled that in a happy voice.

“Before that, how about using the emperor’s funeral to target Sion Agnes?”

“I don’t really want to recommend it. No doubt, during the funeral, envoys from numerous places, including the Ogyeong Dynasty, will gather at the imperial castle. Then, let alone standing out, the probability of failure is too high.”

If a large number of people gather, there will naturally be many strong people and the vigilance will also be strict.

If we had to move to deal with Sion Agnes in the meantime, the difficulty level would inevitably be higher than usual.

“Then, rather than dealing with Sion Agnes, how about bringing her to our side?”

“What nonsense… … !”

The woman who immediately denied it opened her eyes wide as if she had remembered something.

The man nodded and continued talking as if the woman’s thoughts were correct.

“After all, what we need is not the spirit of Zion Agnes.”

“You want to make him like the 4th prince? Surely that might be possible… … .”

Why didn’t I think of this earlier?

“But isn’t that the jurisdiction of Tarahal?”

The woman, who thought about the possibility for a moment, asked the man.

Tarahar.

Although they were the same five demon spirits, their jobs were different and they were in competition with each other, so they were demons with whom there had been no contact until now.

“You’ll have to bow your head once and go in.”

It was very difficult and it hurt his pride to bow down to a demon of the same status, but the man thought that he had to get rid of Sion Agnes at least in this way.

To that extent, to the current man, Sion Agnes was an irritating presence.

“You told Diral last time, so I’ll do it this time.”

A woman shrugs her shoulders and speaks to a man.

Because even to her, Sion Agnes was an irritant.

Perhaps more than the man thinks.

“This time… … .”

The eyes of the woman who mumbled like that suddenly became cold, as if she were freezing.

* * *

Death of Emperor Urdios Agnes.

Even though he has been sick for the past few years, is it because he was once called the master of the world?

The news quickly spread throughout the empire and had a significant impact.

The day after the emperor’s death, funeral proceedings began immediately within the imperial castle, and numerous mourners gathered from all over the world.

‘There are a lot of them.’

A wide open space in front of Baekseong Palace, where preparations for the emperor’s funeral are in full swing.

There, Zion thought as he looked at the mourners who had filled the empty space and continued to line up behind him.

Even this wasn’t even halfway there yet.

‘As expected, the Water In Sea side is not coming?’

Prisoners who are barely visible even among so many mourners.

It was certainly a strange sight, but it was a natural sight for Zion, who knew the events that would occur within a year from now.

After looking at the mourners for a moment, Zion’s eyes turned towards the coffin of Urdios, which was placed on a splendid platform.

‘You asked me to save the empire.’

The emperor’s last wish and will.

Zion had no intention of saving the empire as she had asked the dead emperor to do.

However, the intention was to prevent the empire from collapsing, at least as long as Zion himself existed in the world within this chronicle.

And in order to do that, there were several things that needed to be done.

‘First of all, what should we do with the other royal family members?’

Thinking so, Shion first looked at the second princess Evelyn, who was busy taking charge of the overall funeral process.

As the official successor designated by the emperor, he could have led the funeral, but Zion did not.

Although it served as an advantageous factor in the future succession to the throne, the effect was not that great and she was the only person who truly mourned when the emperor died.

‘Ivelin is still friendly to me, and there is a high probability that she will play an important role in the future war against demons.’

So, I was still thinking about saving it.

‘It’s ambiguous over there.’

Shion’s eyes turned to the 5th princess who was with her aides on one side.

Deanna must have been conscious of this all along, but as soon as she made eye contact with Shion, she quickly turned her head.

5th Princess Deanna was worth using if used well.

In fact, she even cooperated once, but due to her nature, there was a possibility that she could turn into an enemy at any time.

Therefore, it was difficult to make a definite decision yet.

‘The Utekan must be killed.’

Soon, Shion’s eyes moved again and looked at the 4th prince, who was talking about something with the giant delegation that came to pay condolences.

Unlike when he saw Evelyn and Deanna, the light of youthful concern in Sion’s eyes had disappeared.

It wasn’t worth thinking about.

In the first place, Utekan’s true identity was a demon race.

It wasn’t just any demon either.

The five highest-level demons who rule over all demons who crossed over from the demon realm to the human world for the purpose of overthrowing the empire.

They were called the Five Horsemen, and one of them was Utekan.

‘To be exact, he is the one who swallowed Utekan’s body.’

Tarahar.

The name of the Oma Spirit who completely destroyed Utekan’s spirit and devoured his body.

It was one of those guys that had to be eliminated someday.

‘I guess I’ll have to sow new seeds about him soon.’

When Zion’s eyes quietly shine as he plans to hunt Tarahal in his head.

“Your Highness Zion. “The Ascalon family has once again requested secret contact.”

Thierry, his face turned to the side, approached and whispered quietly.

Even during the emperor’s funeral, political movements continued behind the scenes.

No, it was correct to think that it was worse during this period.

Because all kinds of powerful people were gathering not only from the capital but also from all over the empire.

Probably the same goes for other royal family members.

“Like everyone else, put it off until after the funeral.”

“All right.”

Although the funeral had only recently begun, many people had already approached Zion.

Among them, there were especially many imperial nobles who were loyal to the former emperor to their core.

It seemed that the fact that the last independent royal family member before the emperor’s death was Sion was a major factor.

In addition, many of the people here were consciously glancing in the direction where Zion was.

Perhaps it is because of Zion’s recent series of unconventional and shocking moves.

In particular, even those who saw it with their own eyes had a hard time believing the incident in which the 3rd prince was openly shot dead in the middle of the imperial castle, so this level of reaction was, in a way, natural.

“What did you give instructions beyond that?”

Zion naturally received the gazes of those people and asked Thierry.

“The 4th prince took the bait. And I think the other side will arrive soon as well.”

It was time for Thierry to respond as if he had been waiting.

“… … !”

There was a commotion at the entrance to the vacant lot.

People’s heads turn towards the direction where the commotion occurred.

Soon, they saw dozens of priests entering, dressed in pure white robes that did not match the funeral.

The sun embroidered in gold on the robes of priests.

It showed that they were the Church of Light.

And one man was walking in front of those priests.

Although it was clearly his first time seeing him, Shion knew right away who that man was.

‘First Prince Rubrios Agnes.’

Hair dyed a brilliant gold to prove complete devotion to the God of Light.

In addition, the golden eyes, like hair, were filled with the divinity of the God of Light instead of the stars of the Heavenly Sea, and were overflowing.

In addition to that, she has a beautiful sculptural appearance and even her outstretched arms and legs.

The characteristics of the first prince described in the chronicle were revealed very clearly.

‘Has the content changed again?’

Shion’s eyes as he looked at Rubrios were filled with doubt.

According to the original chronicle, the first prince should not have been seen at this funeral.

No, it was true that not only this time, but also in the future, we should not see much of it.

Rubrios’s nickname is Prince Fanatic.

True to his nickname, he devoted everything to the Church of Light and had no interest in power struggles, including the throne.

Because of this, he had long ago become isolated from the imperial family, including the emperor, and even Rubrios himself remained in the church as minister of the imperial castle.

That’s why it was even more strange for him to show up at the funeral.

“What’s going on here?”

Evelyn asked Rubrios in a cold voice, who had already approached the emperor’s coffin.

“What kind of manner of speaking is that to your brother whom you haven’t seen in a long time?”

“I asked what was going on.”

“It’s my father’s funeral, so wouldn’t it be right for me to come?”

The 1st prince responded with a relaxed expression as if nothing was wrong with the cold treatment.

“under… … .”

Evelyn looked dumbfounded at that sight.

From the time his father, Emperor Urdios, began to lie in bed until just before his death.

Because it was Rubrios who never showed his face.

at that time.

“Oh, and from now on, I will be in charge of my father’s funeral.”

A soft voice flowed from Rubrios’ mouth once again.

The people around him, including Evelyn, momentarily looked at the 1st prince’s face, unable to understand its meaning.

“You’ve worked hard to prepare for your first birthday, Evelyn.”

Rubrios expresses his sincere gratitude to her.

Of course, originally, it would have been right for the first prince to take charge.

However, this was absolutely not what he would say, as he was so absorbed in religion that he had abandoned all affairs of the imperial family and had not even touched the imperial palace for several years.

However, Rubrios’ eyes, which did not waver even slightly, seemed to really think that was natural.

It is as if he is the next heir to the throne and the other royal family members are just there to help him.

In fact, Rubrios’ words that he would lead the funeral also revealed his ambition for the throne.

“How can it be so shameless and ridiculous…” … !”

Before Evelyn reacted with anger in her eyes at that attitude that seemed to be monopolistic of children.

“Oh, and.”

Rubrios turned around with a short mutter as if he remembered something and started walking somewhere.

And then his steps stopped.

“They said a lot has changed in the meantime, so it’s true.”

It was none other than Zion.

The 1st prince smiles softly and looks at Shion.

Shion looked into Rubrios’ eyes.

Eyes filled with fanaticism that only one’s beliefs are correct.

Soon after.

“Come under me, Zion.”

From the mouth of the first prince.

“And take refuge in the God of Light.”

A low voice came out.
