I Became the Prince in the Novel
Chapter 8's
5 Cheating (3)
“Have you ever met His Majesty Shion?”
A middle-aged knight with impressive scars who cut his face diagonally lowered his head and opened his mouth to Evelyn Agnes, who had just returned to her palace.
“... .. Yes.”
Receiving her greeting, Evelyn paused for a moment and nodded her head.
“But why did you bring the knights back?”
“I said I won't accept it.”
” Yes? You mean what? Did you mean His Highness Shion said you wouldn't accept it?
” Yes.”
Common sense did not understand, so the knight's eyes were tinged with doubt.
The imperial castle was breached, and the palace was attacked, and the person involved almost lost his life.
But I wouldn't be surprised if you said that you would come to this palace to take refuge, but you won't get any support.
In addition, Evelyn's expression when answering was also different from usual.
‘You usually only put on a bitter face.....’.
There was also a bit of bitterness today, but there were other emotions on his face as well.
Worry, affection and.... .. shock and confusion.
What the hell's been going on?
“ That has changed. It makes me wonder if it's the same person.”
Muttering more like a monologue than talking to a knight, Evelyn recalled her meeting with Shion a while ago.
Obviously, Shion's behavior was different than usual, but the words to participate in the succession ceremony made her feel embarrassed and angry.
Evelyn thought that if Shion accepted the succession ceremony, she would die.
I couldn't let Shion, who I thought was the only brother, die, so I forcefully released the momentum to break the will.
‘ But I hold that momentum.’
If it was originally, it was an unsurprising level of momentum even if I fainted as I pointed it out.
However, Shion was more than just holding the momentum and letting it flow easily.
When did you grow up like that?
Or had he been hiding his strength all this time?
Evelyn felt shock and eccentricity on her, but at the same time felt danger.
A single black star swirled in Shion's eyes facing the natural sea.
‘ It's definitely not a natural disaster.’
Heterogeneous stars that cannot be seen anywhere else in the world.
Evelyn opened her mouth to the knight, recalling the black star that stirred fear deep within her chest.
“Secretly increase the border around Chimseonggung so that Shion does not detect it. Will no longer.”
” I understand.”
“Dan... .. Let's keep an eye on Shion as well.”
On Evelyn's orders, the knight quietly lowered his head.

“Heh heh, I'm sure Your Majesty Evelyn loves you very much.”
Hearing Fredo's smiling voice from the side, Shion saw what was placed on the table in front of him.
A round object that emits pure blue light due to a large collection of magical powers.
It was the heart of a thousand year old ogre.
An ogre, a monster that could be said to be a symbol of strength and stamina.
When such an ogre lived for a thousand years, his strength would gather towards the heart.
It is known that if humans eat it, great strength and physical strength can be increased.
“How are you willing to give something so valuable......”.
In fact, to nourish Shion's weak body, Evelyn had already sent food several times before.
This was the first time he had given something more effective than any other potion.
‘If this is enough, it will be a temporary measure.’
Shion thought as he sensed the magical energy emanating from the thousand year old ogre's heart.
Even if a normal person cooked and ate this liver, he could not absorb half of it, so he would only get the effect of making his bones and muscles stronger, but Shion was different.
I am confident that I can fully absorb the strength of my heart and see more effects, and that means that the restrictions on the use of Black Star will be greatly reduced for now.
Even so, unless the body itself was repaired, it would not be a fundamental solution.
‘Evelyn Agnes.’
In the end, he stopped thinking about the thousand-year-old ogre's heart, and Shion thought of Evelyn Agnes, who had previously visited Chimseonggung Palace.
Is it really one of the main characters in Chronicles of Flosimar?
Even though he was still the first part of the chronicle, he was already finished.
Both as a ruler and as an unmanned person.
In particular, the stars shining in his eyes had already shown that the attainment of the heavenly sea had reached its climax.
Heaven.
As described in the Chronicle of Flosimar, it was a power that could only be used by the direct line of the Agnes family.
It was known as a power that ruled above all else, and as the saying went, most of those who ruled the natural sea had a different level of power than the strong ones in general.
Its distinctive feature is that, like the Black Star, the number of stars shining in the snow varies depending on its achievement.
‘But this is weird.’
I didn't think about it when I read it in writing, but when I saw it, I realized something.
The nature of Evelyn that I felt at a glance.
Shion felt similar to his own Black Star within it, even though it was only a small part.
A power that only Shion himself could use.
But how can similar forces exist?
‘ It makes no sense to come to this article like this.’
Shaking his head, thinking that there were still many things to learn in the future, Shion recalled the time he met Evelyn again.
‘ If 6 stars, it is safe to say that you are already at the top level.’
Evelyn Agnes pressured Shion with such a natural disaster, and Shion responded by revealing her black nature.
If Shion had not shown her power, Evelyn would have never violated her desire to give up on the succession ceremony.
‘... .. After that, I know. Shion, if you want it.’
Seeing Shion's reaction, Evelyn looked surprised for a moment, but eventually rejected it.
‘ Don't ask me about the power you have now. But when you think the time is right, I want you to explain it.’
I added this.
The next conversation is about things to watch out for when holding a succession ceremony and asking about your past.
From that conversation, Shion was able to see that Evelyn was very fond of him.
Well, it must be an elixir like the heart of a thousand year old ogre that was generously administered.
In fact, Evelyn's main reason for coming to Chimseonggung was to give up the thousand-year-old ogre's heart along with Shion's safety concerns.
‘This help may come in handy later.’
at that time.
“Tuan Shion, princess Bamelga has come to visit.”
As if knowing that Shion had finished thinking about Evelyn, the servant standing outside the door announced that a visitor had arrived.
” Bring in.”
An impressive woman with reddish-brown hair and dark red eyes entered through the door with him.
It was Priscilla.
He had a dull tone as if he had not been able to uncover it yet, but there was a strange hope in his eyes.
“Because all this time I stayed in the palace, I had to pay for it.”
” Yes? What happened suddenly?”
Priscilla's forehead frowned slightly at Shion's sudden words.
“How long will this be finished?”
“Without the bottom or the end, what is it.. ..”.
However, his doubts began to turn into shock as he looked at the piece of paper Shion had proffered.
“It.... ... Where did you get it?”
Priscilla asked Shion while scanning the paper with her nose almost stuck to her nose.
A magic circle was drawn on the paper he saw.
“I drew it.”
” Yes? Forgive me? Your Majesty drew this?”
Priscilla's eyes turned from shock to astonishment.
It was surprising that Shion knew how to draw a magic circle, but that was not the case.
“This form and composition...... And on the principle of its movers. It was something I had never seen before.”
Priscilla, who was also a great magician and increased the power of the Bamel family, was able to grasp the latest theories put forward by the various horse towers.
However, none of these theories were found.
That means this magic circle itself was created by Shion.
However easy it is, creating something new is only possible if you master one field to its limit.
‘I wonder if Prince Shion has mastered magic so far .....’
“I asked when I could finish it.”
Shion seemed to know what kind of misunderstanding Priscilla was making, but she did not bother to correct it.
color red ( ⁇ ).
The magic circle with a simple name to find this enemy is the magic of the Chronicles of Flosimar Heroes.
two years later, it does not exist in this age.
There's only one effect, but it's very useful.
As if to inform the reader, Flosimar's chronicle is described in such detail that the magic circle is even painted, and that is why Shion remembers it.
“I can finish it tomorrow.”
Hearing Shion's words, Priscilla replied, still not taking her eyes off the magic circle.
It was the first magic circle I had ever seen in my life, but it was easy to solve because the driving principle and the magic itself were not that difficult.
But the problem is what it's used for.
‘ It's like detection magic, but it's different. It's like trying to force something.....’.
Is it because the question is too big?
Priscilla, who opened her eyes for the first time, asked Shion.
“By the way, may I ask where you plan to use this?”
“Ready for hunting.”
In response to Priscilla's question, Shion lifted her lips slightly and replied.
By late afternoon, the world was dyed red with the last sunlight passing behind the palace.
Hannah, one of the servants of Chimseonggung Palace, was hurriedly walking to a place while looking at the sunset outside the window.
” What are you doing?”
Questions filled his eyes.
Not only him, but the servants and knights in the castle were walking down the hallway with wondering expressions.
A few minutes ago, Prince Shion's order to gather suddenly fell.
So, Hannah and everyone who worked at the palace moved to the dance hall outside the palace, where she was gathered.
“This Hana.”
A soft voice came from behind Hannah as she walked.
An old man with bald white hair gracefully entered Hannah's eyes as she turned her head.
“Ah, Vice Captain!”
The joy in his eyes was with him.
The identity of the old man was Baren, the vice chieftain.
Baren, who has worked at Chimseonggung for over 20 years, is popular with servants for her kindness and gentleness, and Hannah considers Baren like her grandfather.
“Do you know why the Vice Chairman asked the Crown Prince to come together?”
“I don't know.”
Baren shook her head at Hannah's question as she approached her side.
“Since he changed, I have never been able to understand his thoughts. He didn't even have the temperament to explain what he was doing.
“That's true.... .. And I'm a little scared of the changing prince.”
Hana nodded in response.
After the attack, Prince Shion's face became much harder to see than before, and had nothing to do with him and his servants.
This makes the job easier, but Hannah is afraid of Prince Shion.
Every now and then, looking at Prince Shion from a distance, made my entire body shiver as if immersed in cold water.
An unknown seclusion with him was enough to scare him.
how far you walk
“I don't think I'm the only one singing tonight.”
Hannah spoke to Baren while looking at the people who had gathered in the dance hall where they had finally arrived.
Soon after, Hannah's eyes saw the figure of Shion standing in the middle of the dance hall.
Seeing Prince Shion staring at the people with silent eyes without saying a word, he felt something ominous.
As Hanna subconsciously wrapped herself up with a chill coming from her.
” Start.”
A cold voice came out from Prince Shion's mouth, thinking no one else was coming.
Priscilla, who was standing next to him, nodded and started memorizing spells.
uh-
As a result, red lights started flowing from the magic circle that had been drawn on the floor of the gymnasium before.
Such a red light grew darker as Priscilla's spell continued, and apart from filling the dance hall, the light spread throughout the castle palace.
The servants and knights who took a step back from such a light with the impression that they were instinctively rejected.
“What light is it... ... eh? Vice Chairman?”
Hannah's eyes were tinged with doubt as she looked towards Baren, shaking her body in a red light that even felt terrifying.
Unlike him and the others, Baren looked at the magic circle, the source of the red light, with a charming expression.
as if owned.
Moreover, it was time for Hannah to grab Baren's collar as she approached the magic circle.
Knock.
A drop of blood was redder than the one that fell in the middle of the magic circle that was emitting a red glow.
That time.
” Ah ah... ..”
Hana can see.
Baren treats herself like a granddaughter.
hey hey hey hey hey!
Large tentacles protruded from every hole in the Baren like that.
