62 – Superman of the Sorcerer Empire (2)

***

the next night.

Leon was receiving dress coaching from the owner lady to participate in a social gathering.

“Tie with this… … Because it’s a suit, the corsage is this color… … .”

The lady of the duke took a close look at his suit as if it were her own.

The red-haired young man asked in a puzzled voice.

“Do I really have to prepare for this?”

“Absolutely. Because today you have to be better than anyone else at the social gathering place.”

“Um… … .”

It’s like when I’m having an audience with His Majesty, and I feel like this kind of clothes don’t fit my body.

However, it wasn’t that he couldn’t understand Catherine’s feelings, so the man drooled and fixed his posture like a mannequin.

“Leon.”

The silver-haired woman who was touching the shoulder of her suit called his name.

“why?”

“really… … Is it okay if I go alone?”

A voice trembled with unconcealable anxiety. The young man replied with a small smile on his lips.

“it’s okay. Rather, if the lady goes with me, my range of motion becomes narrower.”

“… … But just in case, I’ll have the knights and the inspector stand by.”

That would be fine.

I’m sure they’ll do something.

“Thank you for doing so.”

However, despite his answer, Catherine still nodded her head with an unwilling expression.

I know that Leon has an abnormal resilience. He is also well aware of the fact that he has extraordinary talents that are different from others.

Because this man was his servant. Because the master could not be ignorant of the servant’s work.

However, the silver-haired woman could not erase her worry.

In the end, the invitation of the four princes was decided to attend by Leon alone.

‘It’s not that I don’t understand the complaint that I can’t keep up.’

However, Leon and Yang Baek-ho knew how difficult it was to fight while protecting someone from their days on Earth.

If, by any chance, Prince Four and Prince Oh had the grandmaster on standby, it might endanger her.

“I’ll come back unscathed.”

“You’ll recover soon anyway, so you’ll say you’re not hurt even if you get hurt.”

‘… … I thought so.’

At her words, Leon felt a sense of relief.

But if I’m being honest here, I’d either tell them not to go, or they’d insist on following.

He grabbed the magic sword he had placed on the table and stood in front of the full-length mirror.

“If done well, this could be an opportunity to knock out those two troublesome bastards.”

“I know that, but… … .”

“It won’t be a big deal. I’ll be right back when I’m done.”

“… … I know.”

Lady Catherine opened her arms in a disgruntled voice.

Then, Leon smiled and hugged her, then left the mansion and got on the waiting carriage.

The destination is the Four Princes’ Alie Castle.

‘I don’t know what I prepared… … .’

A young man looking out of the carriage window.

‘If you tried to immerse me, it must mean that it doesn’t matter if you are immersed.’

If you get sick first,

You can repay it to your heart’s content.

‘Because I have immunity granted by His Majesty the Emperor.’

Looking at the night sky full of stars,

His pupils were deeply sunken.

***

The west side of the main palace where the emperor resides.

A splendid castle where the Four Princes stay.

The one who greeted me when I arrived at the entrance of the castle called Ale Castle was the head maid of the Four Princes.

“Welcome, Leon.”

A woman with a dull expression.

After looking up and down the maid, I took out a letter from the inside pocket of my suit and handed it to her.

“I checked your invitation. Guidance from now on… … .”

“No, there is no need.”

“… … yes?”

“I don’t need guidance, so open the door.”

At my cold reaction, she trembled as if she was taken aback.

“Still, it’s better to have a guide… … .”

“Don’t make me say it twice.”

“Ah, I see.”

The head maid tried hard to hide her embarrassed expression, but to no avail.

Perhaps ‘Was he originally like this?’ You must be thinking the same thing.

‘It’s obvious.’

Even if it was someone else, there was no reason to trust the chief maid sent by the Four Princes to guide you.

Because it was convenient to go around alone and learn geography.

Two stalwart knights who were blocking the gate at her message bowed to greet me.

“Nice to meet you, Sir Leon!”

“I will open the door soon!”

“I’m not a knight, so it’s okay not to use the title sir.”

“no! How could that be?”

“Sir Leon is the idol of our knights, and he deserves to be called Sir.”

Unlike the head maid’s eyes, who seem to be hiding something, these men have genuinely pure eyes.

Knights are fine though.

While thinking, I looked at the front.

Then, as the gate leading to the banquet hall where the social gathering was held opened, the two knights shouted with all their might.

What a profit… … .

“Sir Leon of the Duke of Roelheim, please enter!!”

light pouring out.

In the meantime, the eyes of many nobles who had arrived earlier turned to me.

‘I can tell just by looking in your eyes.’

Their curious eyes contained complex emotions.

‘I know roughly what the situation is.’

Perhaps they are the aristocrats who support the Four Princes and the Five Princes.

The nobles, numbering more than one hundred, were divided into two, each standing on the left and right.

If you look more to the left,

It seems that the other side is the camp of the Four Princes.

While receiving the attention of aristocrats, he slowly walked towards the front, stepping on the red carpet under his feet.

“… … Is that the sword master?”

“What a handsome man. That look and that skill.”

“The background is great. After all, it is the family of the Duke of Roelheim.”

“There were rumors that he was close with Her Highness, Princess Six… … .”

“Still, judging from the fact that he attended this event, it may not be… … .”

“You’ll know when you see it.”

The conversations of the nobles whispering to each other reach the eardrum.

‘It’s a thousand demon halls.’

A place full of clever fiends who take me and beat calculators.

It felt like my nose was going to rot just by standing there, but I glanced at them with a nonchalant expression.

Then I met the eyes of an androgynous man staring at me in front of me.

“Welcome, Leon.”

“… … .”

‘No matter how much he is a prince, it’s a bit like doing this from the beginning.’

“I am the Four Princes, Otto Ruble Rodenburg.”

The man who introduced himself held out his hand with a seductive smile on his lips.

‘It’s a ruble. It seems that the imperial family of the Sorcerer Empire had such a name.’

I remember seeing a glimpse of it in a book Catherine was reading before.

She was studying diplomacy at the time, and on the page she peeked at to see what book she was reading, there was the word ‘Ruble’ under the title of ‘Lineage of the Sorcerer Empire’.

I looked at his outstretched hand,

He raised his head again and opened his mouth.

“It’s a ruble. Do you have any ties to the Dark Empire?”

“My maternal grandfather is the Emperor of the Darkness Empire, his Majesty.”

“So the daughter of the emperor of the Dark Empire entered the concubine as a concubine of our Rothenburg Empire.”

“right. But what is the purpose of asking such a question all of a sudden?”

“It’s mine.”

Now is the most important time.

It’s something I’ve experienced on Earth a few times,

I know very well how to deal with this situation.

If Prince Four and Prince Oh really wanted to immerse me, they would have prepared the players in advance.

And the players prepared by them are by no means one.

Assuming a very just-if, the probability of that happening is infinitely low, but let’s say that the four princes and the five princes prepared the grandmaster.

Would only one person have prepared it?

‘Absolutely not.’

If that was the case, I’m sure a few sword masters would have been on standby.

No matter how much they covered the banquet hall with their own forces, it would be difficult to crack down on the knights and servants who manage Ale Castle.

Because of that, I will try to finish the job quickly somehow, and in order to do that, I need to place several strong people who can subdue me in an instant.

Of course, if you don’t feel it when you spread your senses, all these worries will be useless.

‘But, is there any chance of that?’

I drew out a small amount of magic with my fingertips so that the people in the banquet hall did not notice.

By controlling it in detail, it creates a thin and large film that covers the entire Ale Castle and the surrounding garden.

A technology that does not yet exist in this world.

Ten years before I became an Awakener, an S-Class Awakener in Spain developed this technology modeled after a spider’s web.

‘It was an essential skill that any Awakener of S-class or higher must learn.’

Soon, something foreign was caught in the wide-spread web of magical power.

I focused my magical energy on the place where I felt strong in order to figure out its true identity, but I couldn’t proceed further due to something intentionally interfering with it.

‘I knew it would be like this.’

The garden outside the terrace of Ale Castle.

There was someone there that even my magic could not penetrate.

I mean, there

It meant that there were people who were close to being superhuman or superhuman.

“… … therefore… … .”

The man still smiling with his hand out.

“When will you accept my handshake?”

However, his smile was a rotten smile.

I was facing the four princes’ rotten cows,

He replied with a long brow furrow.

“Come to think of it, I didn’t even get a handshake.”

“I don’t know what you think so much about, but this is obviously rude… … .”

“It is rude.”

Laughter emerges.

“Which one is really rude?”

“… … short talk? Do you not know who the person in front of you is right now?”

“know. It’s His Highness the Four Princes.”

I could feel him flinch at my ferocious reaction.

“Who did you bring?”

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t even think about pretending. Because I know everything.”

The face of the four princes who were talking to me gradually hardened.

“Outside the terrace.”

And in my next words,

The man’s mask was completely shattered.

“You have players lined up to kill me.”

“…”

As if a bomb had fallen,

A chilly silence settled in the banquet hall.

“That…”

The corners of the Four Princes’ mouth twisted grotesquely.

“……How did know?”

His eyes burned purple.
