Chapter.8 Grace City’s Feast

I spoke in a whisper so as not to be heard by the Duke, and the Crown Prince glared at El with an embarrassed face. Then he quickly looked at the duke. But the Duke was obsessed with eating Palenque.

After confirming this, the crown prince looked at the dish again with a serious face, then looked at Gray and then turned his gaze back to El.

The crown prince, who was curious about who this man was, began to panic.

A man who realizes his true intentions and even advises him to go one step further and take care of his people.

My expression was rotting inside as I wondered what all these people were like.

However, the position is still poor. At this point, if the duke discovered his true intentions, he could have been dethroned from his position as crown prince.

Anything that interferes with work is natural, as if it were play.

If this man uses his mouth incorrectly, everything will be in vain, so you have no choice but to be embarrassed, regardless of the man’s identity or status.

But I couldn’t continue to look embarrassed.

The crown prince forcefully brought Palenque to his mouth. And I forced a smile. Because it’s in front of the duke.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

The crown prince started laughing and began to eat the Palenque greedily, as if he was acting. Looking at that, the duke just thinks it’s as shallow as before.

Although it looked like he was eating ravenously, the crown prince was actually so surprised that he couldn’t even taste the taste of Palenque.

I had a great ambition in my heart to correct the imperial power of the empire that was being played by a few nobles. However, it is still as weak as a leaf. Besides, honestly, I never thought about the people.

“But anyway, I like this clay. Because there are infinite possibilities. If peace is maintained in this city, I will continue to like mud.”

As I continue to watch the man’s gaze while eating, a line that shakes me comes out again.

Ha –

the crown prince started laughing at this point.

What are you thinking about right now? I feel like I’m naked.

The first bet he made was to get naked and walk through Grace City.

This is tantamount to defeat. No, it was already a losing situation.

It wasn’t until the very end that I tried to keep the duke in check by helping Grayke out of kindness.

The crown prince began to laugh. The concept was to smile from the beginning, but for the first time in his life, the crown prince was smiling sincerely.

Who is the main character of this edition?

Peacock?

no. He is the most thoughtless being.

Great?

no.

However, he was not the crown prince himself.

The commander commanding the current battlefield is this man in front of me.

I can’t help it. The crown prince thought so. Now I had to avoid this situation myself. It’s not like you can stop his mouth by killing the Duke in front of him and Medrine who is guarding him.

“Okay, Great! I lost this bet! I admit it honestly. How can I say I won when I ate such delicious food? Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Then the duke, who had been quiet, intervened, frowning as if he had been hit in the back of the head.

“Your Highness, what do you mean by that? Even if you lose, such a bet cannot stand. “Your Majesty is walking around naked!”

“no.”

The duke responded to the crown prince’s words with a puzzled expression.

“yes?”

“The terms of that bet have changed.”

“What is that?”

“I promised that if I lost, I would leave Grayke straight away, without making any demands! But this is legendary meat? It’s delicious, right? It’s a legend, so what should I do to admit it? Because legends are great things! It’s a fun dinner. It’s funny, so didn’t I lose? So I’m sorry, Duke. Don’t be too sad. “But how much tax does a fiefdom like this cost?”

“It was definitely delicious. But Your Majesty, cooking and politics are two different things.”

“I don’t know anything about politics. But the important thing is that I have already said with my mouth that I will bet, so I cannot go back. “I am the crown prince!”

The crown prince laughed, got up from the table, and left the banquet hall. Then the duke ran after the crown prince without hiding his red face with anger.

“majesty! “I didn’t hear it!”

“Master! “I will follow your Majesty too!”

Grayke also disappeared after chasing the prince.

As a result, Elle and Medrine were left behind. There were only two.

***

“I asked you if you were coming, but you are disturbing me?”

A thousand dollars boiled inside the duke. However, it is true that it was no longer possible to put pressure on Grayk openly. Thanks to the crown prince’s capricious bet. You’re disturbing me for the trivial reason of fun.

If they had not planned to make him a puppet emperor, they would have toppled him from his position as prince long ago. There were many other princes aiming for the crown prince position.

However, since he was the crown prince, his declaration had absolute effect.

It is impossible to reach out to this Great City right now. Moreover, because the crown prince was leaving immediately, it became impossible to even try anything else. Because I have to follow the crown prince.

There are eyes to see the world. Even if he is in power, the crown prince has a high ranking. It cannot be ignored.

“Hello! Where is Medrine?”

The duke, who thought it would be no fun unless he used Medrine’s magic to do something for Great City, called her.

“Did you find it?”

Medrine was called and trudged into the study occupied by the duke. Very slowly. slowly. So much so that the duke was completely upset.

Moreover, the one who came in with me was the cook I didn’t like from earlier. In the end, the plan went awry because of that damn chef. The first place is the crown prince. And second place is this chef.

The Duke thought so and glared at El.

“Yes you bastard! “How dare you know where this is!”

The duke was shaking, but El calmly entered the study, looked around, and spoke.

“Your Royal Highness Duke Taiwuran. Nice to meet you… .”

El went to the study window and stopped. And opened the window. The wind comes in.

“Medrine, get that guy on his knees right now!”

The Duke’s brutality made the veins in his neck stand up and he screamed loudly. I’m already so pissed off, how could a mere chef have such an attitude towards himself as a duke? This is something that cannot happen.

However, Medrine opened her mouth as if such an attitude was natural.

“I am sorry, Your Majesty. “That can’t be possible.”

“what?”

“That person is a dragon slayer. He is someone who doesn’t even dare to mess with dragons. “How can a human being kneel down to such a being?”

The duke looked back and forth at Elle’s back and at Medrine. A dragon slayer. There was only one person in this world called by that title.

“What does that mean?”

“That’s literally it. Oh, by the way, didn’t we talk about it yesterday too?”

“What what?”

The duke uttered a short word.

And then I looked at L’s back again. Medrine was kneeling and trembling.

Medrine actually committed a sin against El in the last war. So it was never a comfortable relationship.

But it’s not something that can be done by running away. It was also impossible to escape safely from El. So I’m just shaking.

She is the best wizard in the empire.

He is a high-ranking magician that even the most nobles have no choice but to give up. In fact, he has been shown to say whatever he wants to the duke.

Seeing her unilaterally shaking, the Duke began to get goosebumps. Because I thought about what kind of being she was talking about.

“majesty? First, let me tell you one thing. I am retired. Whether it’s the center, power, or civil war, it has nothing to do with me. Whatever you and your majesty do. But if you disturb my lair in Great City, you will see dragons rampaging through the capital again. And then don’t think I can do anything to help you. If you don’t want to lose that little bit of power you’ve worked so hard to maintain your whole life, you should behave yourself. “I hope you erase the word Gracesy from your brain, including the memory of meeting me here.”

“That…” !”

Elle quietly looked at the duke.

And freed mana.

Soon the study was enveloped in darkness. Black darkness. At the end of it, a huge fireball swirls.

“The road to hell is close. majesty. “Keep that in mind.”

El left those words and disappeared into the darkness.

After the 9th class magic disappears. El disappeared. All that is visible is Medrine, who is still kneeling.

What kind of darkness did you see?

Medrine realized that fact and even her teeth chattered.

The duke stood blankly and blinked. Cold sweat continued to flow.

***

Peace is important.

The duke will face hell if he tries to destroy my well-being. Because I came to show you the end of hell.

For some reason, I felt like he wouldn’t give up and bother me, so I had no choice but to threaten him, but I really didn’t like the process.

The Crown Prince was scared with his cooking, but Medrinne’s presence was the problem.

I retired because I hated this dirty and miserable life.

If I hadn’t declared that I would build a rare here, I might have just left.

When I returned to the restaurant with such confusion, the night was getting deeper.

I didn’t wake him up, but Lulin was still rolling around on the bed and whining. He could have woken up and come looking for me.

Rather, it is fortunate.

As I approached and sat down on the bed, Rurin wriggled as if she felt someone I was looking at.

“How long do you plan to sleep, our dragon?”

“Is it you?”

Then he stuck his face out from under the blanket. With half-closed eyes.

“you? “Why is your expression like that?”

Then he suddenly raised his upper body. Thanks to this, the blanket rises into the sky, flutters, and then falls to the floor.

In that state, Lurin crawled over and grabbed my arm.

I can’t believe you’re quick-witted in times like this. It’s an amazing dragon.

“I just happened to be a little tired.”

“Tiring work? What kind of person made you tired? “This body cannot tolerate such a thing!”

“I know. “It’s unacceptable.”

I also felt like I felt a little better when I stroked Rurin’s head.

Lurin suddenly got up from the bed as if she remembered something and grabbed my shoulder.

“Now that I think about it, the woman told the man who came in tired that she should give him a massage.”

Thinking of my colleague, Lurin began to rub her shoulders. It is a wrought iron rather than a cast iron.

Something felt good.

It feels like forgetting something that made you tired.

“How are you?”

“Yeah, that’s good.”

“is it! Hehe, if you like it, I like it too.”

Lurin started laughing as she said that. Why is this dragon touching my sensibilities so much today? I suddenly feel like I want to hug him.

“But I’m hungry.”

Lurin puffing out her cheeks.

That line barely brought me to my senses.

Fortunately.
