I Became the Prince in the Novel
Chapter 11's
6 Black Forest (2)
“No matter how much I think about it, I don't understand.”
A low whisper came out from Priscilla's mouth as she walked down the hall of Chimseonggung with quick steps.
“Is it just the work of a witch?”
There are no one or two questions.
Black magic is not a good way to kill people.
Once sacrifice is needed, the application of magic itself is not so secret.
He said it would be more efficient to send assassins once again.
There he knows.
According to Prince Shion's orders, the magic circle he completed wasn't just for black magic.
‘Maybe Hwangseong's side doubted this incident.’
So, they'll do their own investigation, and the results will be out soon, but Priscilla won't wait until then.
He wanted to hear the full story of this incident directly from Shion's mouth.
‘ No, shouldn't you at least tell me? I even give you magic circles and even blood!’
So he's the one who's come to Shion's private gym like this every day since then.
“Now, His Highness the Prince does not want to see anyone.”
The only thing he always remembered was the spirit of congratulations.
Even so, Fredo spoke on his behalf.
” Why?”
“Because of the shock from the last incident.....”.
“ Gura.... .. No, don't lie! Prince was the first to handle ‘itu’!”
“Please don't talk. His Majesty has ordered you to keep quiet about it.”
“No, I am not affiliated with Chimseonggung, and I am not under His Majesty, so why should I follow that. ....”.
Priscilla, who spoke until then angrily, closed her mouth.
It reminded me of Shion who was looking at him with lethargic eyes.
I did not say anything to him in a pushy tone, and I did not use that incomprehensible power.
As Priscilla spoke to Shion, she somehow felt she had to follow what she said.
Something lurks deep in Shion's silent eyes.
There is something magical about making people follow them and making them irresistible.
Clearly, former Prince Shion does not exist.
“Oh, and the Prince has a message to convey to Priscilla.”
Fredo's voice continued into Priscilla's ears who were thinking about Shion.
“What, what is it?”
“If you don't have something to do now, please go home now......”.
His face, which had brightened for a moment, wrinkled at those words.

The Chronicle of Flosimar’s Heroes depicts a future hundreds of years later in the world where Shion originally lived.
So, all kinds of advanced cultures exist.
Dumpling, jerking!
The magic train that Shion rode on was one of them.
The magic carriage, which walked on the tracks still using magic power as a source of power, was one of the people's favorite means of transportation, and could move anywhere in the empire.
‘I should try it once I return to the original world.’
As if attracted by the magic carriage, he glanced at the scenery outside the passing window quickly, and Shion's eyes slowly turned to the next room.
Then I felt a secret look.
‘ As expected.’
I know eyes will catch up since I came out of the secret branch ‘Eye of the Moon’.
In fact, it was meant to show her hair.
It will be easier if you want additional information by putting it close together.
After all, they would not be able to get anything else from them.
It was possible that the information he released could flow into the Imperial Palace due to his exposed hair, but Zion was confident that would not happen.
First of all, ‘Eye of the Moon’ has a strong tendency to take a step back and watch when the imperial family or imperial family is involved.
Most importantly, ‘Mata Bulan’, which values trust and accuracy as the best, cannot divulge inaccurate information.
Shion's face was unknown to the outside world as he had not been out of the Imperial Castle since childhood, so it took him a long time to figure out his identity.
By the time they found out everything, Shion would have already returned to the Imperial Castle.
‘ I choose moon eyes for other reasons.’
Of course, the Eye of the Moon is also the information guild located above, but there are other informational guilds if you have to choose.
Still, the reason why Shion chose ‘Eyes of the Moon’ is because it is a place that serves as the eyes and ears of a hero who will appear in the not too distant future.
A guild that generously gave all the support to the heroes with the sole belief that they would save the pure world regardless of any interests.
I want to see it with my own eyes.
– After a while, you will arrive at Ruins Station. Please use the door on the left to get down. ….
The sound of guidance rang out in Shion's ears.
Shion, who stopped thinking about it, quietly got up from his seat.
Ever since he dealt with the monsters in Chimseonggung, or even when he stopped the attacks of the assassins before, there was something Shion thought about.
Recruit those who will be right next to you and be your hands and feet.
No matter how Shion was, he could not do everything alone, and the knights and servants of Chimseonggung had too much strength and ability to break out of the Path of Hell in the future.
There was no time left to practice from the beginning.
Thus, using the information from the chronicle given to him, Shion turned his gaze away from the Imperial Castle.
Ruins outside the city.
In the city bordering the mighty Saleos Mountains to the north of this Empire, Shion intends to reap his first subordinates.
‘To be exact, it is an area close to this city.’
Wei Ying
The train door opened slowly.
The cold northern air was felt on Shion's skin descending with him.
It was still summer, so there was no snow, but it was cold enough to see white steam coming out of my mouth.
‘You're right.’
Looking at the town square immediately after leaving the station and a huge fire lit up in the middle of the square, Shion slightly nodded.
The flame is a flame that only lights up when ‘ purifying agent’ opens.
purification agents.
Held once a month in Ruin, it is an event to purify sin and pray for future well-being through the beings who protect the city.
And Shion plans to use a purification agent to do this time.
‘To be exact, it is an event that will happen with the purification agent.’
According to the chronicles, the destruction of the city would be destroyed at the end of this purification.
It was the first major event to occur at the beginning of the story, and the chance to be born as one of the future heroes.
‘ And the starting point of Ruins destruction is Black Forest.’
black forest.
A place that exists on the outskirts of Ruins City and is said to be known only by the Ruins ruling family.
Naturally, Shion also knew the identity of the Black Forest.
The place where one of the ‘crime’ who defies the world of the past is sealed.
‘ The permission of the master is very important to enter the Black Forest, but .....’
There are other methods that exist only today.
Shion, who gathered her thoughts while walking like that, went into the alley with a few people and opened her mouth while looking at the wall.
” I.”
A wall where nothing happens of course.
“I never say the same thing twice.”
But Shion, unconcerned, flicked her little finger against the wall.
OKAY.
You moron!
“Hey, shit!”
A small spark flew out, and a wall that had never been there trembled, and a short-haired woman with big eyes appeared.
“... .. How do you know?”
A woman looked at Shion with eyes full of uneasiness and asked.
The woman's name is Nariero, a top informant on ‘Eye of the Moon’.
All other things were awkward, but he rose to the position of a top-ranked informant just by hiding and chasing.
Therefore, he did not understand the current situation in which he was found.
“I'll do another search.”
As if not intending to answer Nari's question, continued Shion.
Information about the recruitment period of mercenaries in Yeongjuseong. And the location of six-headed tattooed animals in this city.”
At this time, the Ruins king's castle recruits mercenaries to conquer the Black Forest.
Shion plans to use it.
There, ‘The Conquest of the Black’ Forest is closely related to the starting point of the Ruins' destruction, so it is possible to enjoy the effects of one stone and two birds.
” Yes? Yes?”
Hearing that sudden remark, Nari asked with a puzzled expression, but Shion turned around without answering her.
“Because its name is one of the best intelligence unions in the empire, I believe it will not be long.”
“ It is not yet the best... ..”.
Shion knew that it would happen in the future and said it, but Narie did not know.
“...... Six-headed animal tattoo? And how do you know that the castle lord is recruiting mercenaries?
Immediately after, a voice full of doubt burst out from his mouth, but the figure of Shion who could answer him was already far away.
* * *
The noble castle in the heart of the remote city of Ruin.
“...... Do you really have to do it?”
In the office located on the top floor of the castle, a middle-aged man with a timid expression looked at the woman with flaming red hair and opened his mouth heavily.
” Of course.”
The woman, Lane Dranir, nodded as she looked at Richard Dranir, a middle-aged man who was also her father and Lord of Ruin.
“This is your chance to get rid of cleaners like this dog.”
Lane's words were rude, but the master continued to speak without showing, even though he had a dissatisfied expression whether he was used to it.
“Even our ancestors who used the power of dragons only sealed them. What can you do about that?
” Father.”
Lane's voice is full of power.
“I don't want to dedicate people on our land to such people anymore. No, I'm not gonna give it to you. Even if they have committed any crime!”
As if not listening to those words again, Lane left the office door with those words.
“… … .”
Yeongju looked at his daughter's back with anxious eyes and let out a small sigh.
” Shit... ..”.
A small swearing word came out of Lane's mouth as she left the office and walked to somewhere.
Dranir's family controls the ruins of the city.
He was also a family of great heroes who destroyed ‘crime’ in the past and saved the entire northern region of the empire.
But that's only partly true.
Security is not perfect.
“Why are you so dead? path.”
Soon after, a long-haired and slender-bodied man walked up to Lane, who arrived at the outdoor gymnasium in the castle, and asked.
“Do you ask because you don't know? You must have heard something from the old man again.
Before Lane replied, the tattooed giant who almost immersed himself in the chair on the left side of the gymnasium replied with a smile.
“Be careful with your words. You are the Ruler of this city.”
Unaware that the giant words were uncomfortable, a man with a neat impression who was sitting next to Lane opened his mouth while gently touching his glasses.
All three were egrang who had spent over 10 years with Lane, and they were all famous for their military might in the northern region of the Empire.
“You are very serious about everything, it's not fun, it's fun.”
“You can't miss the humiliation on the master in vain.”
“ Both are silent. How's recruitment? Did you get any useful ones?
Lane raised his hand to stop the quarrel, and looked at the mercenaries gathered at the gym and competing with each other and asked.
This mercenary recruitment was led by him, not his master.
First of all, it is the work done directly in a permanent residence, and the rewards and benefits provided depend on the success of this ‘conquest’.
And because the honor was so great, the mercenaries flowed into the master's castle like waves of water.
” Are you there? There was no point in taking dozens of such children. Do you just want to go with us?
” I agree with it.”
The bespectacled man nodded at the tattooed giant's answer with a shrug.
“Ugh, useless bastard. Hart, right?”
Lane, who gently shook his head at him and asked the long-haired man.
“I don't know if this is useful, but there are some interesting people. Oh, there's one coming.”
With those words, the long-haired man, Hart, pointed his finger at the gymnasium.
A man walked in, slowly walking into the gymnasium to meet his opponent in Lane's eyes who turned to follow his finger.
boom boom, boom boom.
Skinny body and ordinary energy without characteristics.
The lethargic and sunken eyes were comparable to him.
It was Shion.
