A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 154



Only Noblemtl

Episode 154. The Devil Knight

A stern royal family.

Among them, the main hall of the palace where the throne is placed.

In a solemn atmosphere, people dressed in finery lined up on both sides of the aisle leading to the throne.

“… … .”

The Black Prince, sitting on the throne, rested his elbows on the armrest and pressed his temples.

My head was pounding.

‘Perception?’

I told you several times not to be late.

I couldn’t help but get angry when I thought of that guy’s face, who wouldn’t even listen to what I said.

The only thing that gave me an idea of ​​what was going on was the note he left for Linda.

A threatening note saying that he would be going somewhere soon and asking him to be quiet until then.

I could guess that something had suddenly happened.

Nevertheless, the inauguration ceremony proceeded as scheduled.

At least I thought that if I had the will, I would somehow get back by then.

But this damn thing didn’t even show his nose, as if he was mocking that prediction.

‘I thought you had at least some sense… … .’

Considering the nature of the guy who ignored himself, it was possible that he had erased the ceremony itself from his mind.

Or maybe he knew and left.

There was no great difference in the fact that neither of them came to the inauguration ceremony.

As the waiting time grew longer, people began to murmur anxiously.

I wonder if something went wrong.

“ha…….”

Should I have known when the bastard first expressed his intention to become my knight?

I hurriedly cancelled all my schedules and set a date for the inauguration ceremony as soon as possible… … .

I thought you’d give me some shit.

Cadduk-

The Black Prince’s fist resting on the armrest trembled.

Sir Smith said when he saw it.

He was standing behind the Black Prince.

“Please wait a little longer. He doesn’t seem to be that indiscreet. He must have had some unavoidable circumstances.”

“… … Is that so.”

The Black Prince opened his clenched fist.

“Surely he didn’t run away.”

“No way. Weren’t you waiting for the teleportation magic circle all this time?”

Sir Rötgel, standing on the other side, kept his mouth shut.

Because he seemed like a person who could handle it more than enough. His temper wasn’t just any ordinary one.

Even if he suddenly got a fever and ran out while waiting, it wouldn’t have been that surprising.

When everyone was getting tired of waiting… … .

Bam!

The door to the main hall opened.

The person who opened the door with my own hands and came in was clearly a man with eyes as red as blood.

The servant who came in late shouted in a panic.

“The red-eyed demon has arrived!”

Before the subject could even report the news, a hot-tempered man came running like the wind, opened the door himself, and strode briskly down the passageway into the main hall of the palace.

The eyes of those who had been waiting all turned to him.

“oh…….”

“The author… … ?”

The eyes of those who looked at him shone.

It is the most solemn place in the palace where the throne is placed.

As the place was the place, those watching were not ordinary people.

High-ranking nobles, royal knights, and courtiers.

They were a splendid sight.

The most solemn place. Those who are not easily seen. Countless eyes watching.

Although he was trembling, the man took a step forward without hesitation.

His appearance may have seemed dignified, but it did not look noble, to put it nicely.

The clothes he was wearing were nice, but they looked unkempt, with dirt and stains all over them, as if he had rolled around on a dirt floor.

Normally, he would have had to bathe and cleanse himself beforehand and then put on neat clothes and armor, but the Black Prince was content with just the presence of that scoundrel.

People were buzzing as they watched the star of the event arrive late.

“The author is the devil in the red eye… … .”

“Indeed, it is just as I heard!”

The Black Prince raised the corners of his mouth as he watched him stride toward him without any separate guidance.

Since the Black Prince did not like unnecessary formalities, the investiture ceremony was conducted in an informal manner as he wished.

The Black Prince rose from the throne and slowly descended the stairs.

The old servant who had been waiting approached and carefully handed him a sword wrapped in red cloth.

The Black Prince accepted it and took a few steps forward as if to greet the approaching man.

The two stopped at some distance and looked at each other.

The Black Prince said.

“You’re late.”

Ashvan answered.

“It’s not that late.”

The Black Prince shook his head at his impudence, then pulled his sword out of its scabbard.

Sling-

A brilliant silver sword emerged.

“oh.”

Ashvan let out a short exclamation.

To such Ashvan, the Black Prince spoke in an indifferent tone while holding a silver sword.

“Kneel down.”

“What the heck?”

“Get down on one knee.”

Ashvan looked blankly at the Black Prince.

Are you imagining yourself getting your head smashed?

“It’s a procedure. Don’t you want to finish it quickly?”

“The only person I kneel before is our master.”

“Just kneel. It’s just a formality.”

“check.”

Ashvan grumbled and knelt on one knee before the Black Prince.

“I don’t feel so good about that.”

“It’s noisy.”

The Black Prince began his prepared speech with his sword in hand.

“The man in front of me is called the Red-Eyed Demon.”

The commotion died down as the Black Prince spoke.

“Yes. That is the evil man who killed the Baron of Barranquilla and spread his infamy throughout the Blake Kingdom.”

Soon, the hall became as quiet as a mouse, and only the Black Prince’s voice could be heard clearly.

“However, I approve of his actions today. He has been ordered by me to become the King’s sword and kill the Baron of Barranquilla, who has been harassing my people. He has made an example of the scum who have been harassing my people and fattening their flesh and blood. The chronological order is a little different, but I have decided it. Is there anyone who disagrees?”

As the Black Prince looked around with his sword in hand, a loud answer came from somewhere.

“doesn’t exist!”

Following that cry, others responded with strength.

“doesn’t exist!”

The Black Prince nodded with satisfaction and continued speaking.

“As proof, today, on this day. I personally bestow this sword upon you. The Red-Eyed Demon will become my one and only sword to burn away the darkness. I will grant his permission for everything he does with this sword.”

The Black Prince approached Ashvan, who was kneeling on one knee and bowing his head, and spoke.

“Thanks to you, the wicked in this country will be judged, and the good people will live. Also… … .”

Stop.

The Black Prince, who was approaching Ashvan, stopped.

Because he reeked of alcohol.

‘… … This kid.’

The Black Prince frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure and placed his sword on his shoulder.

“Always act with courage. Always tell the truth, be merciless to your enemies, and always stand on the side of the weak… .”

“… … Cool.”

The Black Prince’s expression distorted.

Why was it so quiet? I must have been dozing off.

What crazy person would sleep during the glorious knighthood ceremony?

The Black Prince lightly patted both shoulders, and then finally struck the sleeping Ashvan’s head rather hard with the side of his sword.

Exactly!

“ah.”

The Black Prince spoke to him, who was blinking his eyes.

“This is the honor of a knight.”

“……what?”

“By the right of fate, I appoint you as the free sword of Roanoke Vittorio Blake… … .”

Looking at Ashvan, who had a strange expression on his face as if he was holding back a yawn, the Black Prince suppressed his urge to hit him and finished speaking.

“Rise up as a knight!”

The other knights who were watching shouted at Ashvan, who was slowly getting up according to his words.

“Rise up as a knight!”

At the same time, cheers erupted and applause poured out.

The Black Prince approached him with a bewildered expression and growled softly.

“Have you had a drink?”

Ashvan replied with a serious expression.

“I drank alcohol, but I didn’t get drunk.”

“Well done, you son of a bitch.”

“No, why are you swearing?”

The Black Prince swung the sword he was holding and offered the hilt to him.

“Take it.”

“Oh, is this mine?”

“Yes. It was done with great effort by a blacksmith of great skill.”

Then he pointed to a place with his eyes.

There, Hans and Julia were clapping and laughing.

And next to her was Joy, jumping up and down and rejoicing as if it were her own business.

“aha.”

He said he was bringing a gift.

This must have been the gift.

Ashvan smiled brightly and waved at them.

The Black Prince watched him for a moment and then spoke in a pretended serious voice.

“Lord Ashvan.”

The day will come when the Black Prince will be called a gentleman.

Ashvan replied with a slight creepy feeling.

“Why, Your Majesty?”

“Kyung, you are now my knight. Don’t forget that I am always watching you.”

“Your Majesty, you are being a nuisance.”

“You fucking country bumpkin.”

Only then did the two look at each other and smile.

At that time, there was a name that people all called out.

-Devil Knight! Devil Knight! Devil Knight!

“… … Demon Knight?”

Those were two words that really didn’t go together.

Ashvan frowned and grumbled softly.

“What is a devil knight? I’d rather have you be a red-eyed knight.”

“Just keep your mouth shut and accept it. You can’t change the name the crowd gives you.”

“okay.”

Ashvan raised his sword and shouted.

“I am the Devil Knight!”

“Wow!”

There was a cheer.

Looking at that sight, the Black Prince raised one corner of his mouth like a black tiger.

“Oh my. That crazy guy.”

The knighthood ceremony ended successfully.

“… … Let’s go.”

“yes.”

An old man who had been watching with a pleased face among the people quietly slipped out with a pale man.

* * *

It was amazing.

I closed my eyes for a moment and opened them again to find that the knighthood ceremony was already over.

Since becoming a knight is difficult in the first place, I expected the inauguration ceremony to be complicated and take a long time.

Either I had my eyes closed for too long, or the Black Prince just omitted it on his own.

It ended sooner than I thought.

Oh, of course that wasn’t my intention.

Running with Shushuruta all night long over the sleeping city, racing on the forest paths, sharing a drink with Saul, engaging in fierce light combat with Shushuruta on the way back, and attending the inauguration ceremony as soon as I got back, I had no time to close my eyes due to my busy schedule.

That’s why I was slowly falling asleep. It was an irresistible force.

The Black Prince’s ramblings were so damn boring.

After I grabbed the silver sword, I finally woke up and had time to look around, and I saw many familiar faces attending the inauguration ceremony.

Hans’ family, of course, as well as Count Stavanger, Lord Curtis, Lord Schneider, and other knights who had come with him and were familiar with his presence in the Stavanger territory.

Sir Ashley, Lord Walpole, and of course Sir Bok-sil standing behind the Black Prince. Even the Black Prince’s Black Tiger Knights, the Royal Knights.

Most of the relationships I’ve made since coming here have been here.

‘It’s a new feeling.’

[That’s good. I guess I should say goodbye while I’m at it.]

‘The timing is such a coincidence.’

As soon as the investiture ceremony was over, the Black Prince had everyone enter the banquet hall.

I didn’t know, but there was a follow-up party scheduled right after the inauguration ceremony.

Thanks to that, we were able to greet each other in a pleasant atmosphere while eating delicious food.

Of course, the first one to greet me was Linda, who had been waiting quietly for half a day.

“You devil!”

puck!

I was attacked from behind by a fucking puppy.

I put my hand behind her back and grabbed the back of Linda’s neck, pulling her away as she smiled bashfully.

“Have you been well?”

“Yeah! Did you do well?”

“Well done.”

“Hehehe.”

“I’m not going anywhere anymore. Go over there and play. Don’t put poison in your food. If you do, you’ll die.”

“Yeah. Okay.”

Linda let go of the nape of her neck and ran to the table filled with food.

I gave instructions to Shushuruta, who was standing next to me.

“That’s really unsettling. You keep a close eye on it.”

“… … I can’t help it.”

Shushuruta approached Linda, who was raiding the cake on the table, with a look of not-so-dislike, contrary to her words.

It seems like the fact that he missed me worked well.

“Mister!”

Assassin Captain Joey ran over and hugged my leg.

I ruffled Joey’s hair roughly.

“Who is this? Isn’t this our assassin leader, Joey?”

“That’s right! I’m Assassin Captain Joy!”

“It’s been a while. How have you been?”

“Yes. I played with the knights. I also watched them train.”

It seems that while I was away, he was harassing the knights of the Starvanger family in my stead.

“I learned kendo from the knights.”

“Oh. Really?”

“Yes. Do you want to see it?”

Joey showed off his rhythm while holding a transparent sword.

I was purely amazed.

“That’s amazing. What do you think, Master?”

Cheonma replied with a smile.

[This is a fatal blow. I don’t dare think of fighting back.]

“Master too? Me too.”

After a long demonstration, the assassin leader Joey asked me while panting.

“how is it?”

I replied in a serious tone.

“I have never seen such an inspection in my life. It was truly a deadly sword dance. Even if ten royal knights rushed at me, they would all fall down clutching their hearts.”

“Hehehe.”

Joy burst into laughter after receiving the compliment.

“Me. I will become a cool knight like Commander Ashley!”

I chuckled.

“The assassin captain becomes a knight. What kind of situation is this? This is why even those with great talent have their worries.”

This is why the environment is important.

While living in the Starvanger estate, Joy’s dream of becoming a knight suddenly became hers.

This little guy is a knight.

I then exchanged greetings with Hans and Julia, who were watching happily from a step behind.

While we were talking so amicably… … .

I found the Black Prince slowly arriving at the banquet hall, wondering if he had finished his remaining work.

“Oh, just a moment.”

I asked for Hans’s family’s understanding and then walked straight to the Black Prince.

“Hey, Your Majesty.”

The workaholic king, still with dark shadows on his eyes, looked this way.

“I’ll go back tomorrow.”

“… …? Where to?”

I answered with a smile.

“Back home.”
