Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 610
610. Prince Dersen & the unexpected woman he met at the banquet hall.
***
“I never thought Rachel would act like that.”
Prince Dersen was walking through the grand hall where the banquet was to be held. He was laughing at the news he had just heard.
It is that Rachel and Han Cheon-seong are meeting.
Now, I have come to accept that fact, thinking that Dersen will do the same.
‘It’ll be okay.’
As I walked through the wide grand hall, I nodded slightly.
There is no doubt now. Rachel is trying to make Han Cheon-seong her own, and he is worth it.
By watching today’s game, even the slightest illusion that remained in my mind disappeared.
From noble mtl dot come
“Temel.”
I walked slowly while calling for my golden knight.
“yes. “Tell me.”
I calmly closed my eyes to the calm voice.
“What do you think I’m thinking right now?”
Even though I was insinuatingly asking a strange question, I felt at ease.
“I don’t think you’ll think this situation is bad.”
“It’s not that bad, why do you think that?”
As he is a knight who has been by my side for a long time, I sometimes ask questions like this. That’s to formulate my thoughts and to check how I appear to others.
“Have you not confirmed his worth today?”
“Gachira, of course, that makes a lot of sense. But something else caught my eye.”
“Is it about a woman named Azazel?”
My heart filled with satisfaction as I watched Temel quickly grasp my thoughts.
Since we both see the same things, it is very easy to talk.
And having someone who understands my thoughts helped me think more deeply when deciding something.
“yes. “Seeing her made me feel more confident.”
Tuk.
He said and slowly stopped walking.
The center of the grand hall stopped like that. As the banquet has not yet begun, I am now standing alone in the center of the hall, where the invited nobles have not yet entered.
I calmly looked at my surroundings.
The scale was huge. It is said to be small compared to the imperial hall, but that is only in relative terms. It was spacious enough to accommodate a large number of people.
And now I was looking at this grand hall like the entire empire. Now I’m standing in the center. It was like I was standing in the capital city of Edelphia.
Plus, wires everywhere.
There will be a presence corresponding to each axis supporting the front line and blocking various threats.
Thinking about their hard work… … .
“It’s fascinating.”
Laughter escaped me again.
How could such a being enter the capital of this empire?
My heart felt cold.
At the same time, I felt many things.
The influence of beings called the Nine Apostles. How much of a threat can it be that they, who have been operating in secret for nearly centuries, have surfaced?
“Azazel must be considered a very dangerous being.”
In my mind, I had already decided that the power she possessed could not be human power.
“Are you thinking that far?”
Despite Temel’s slightly surprised voice, I slowly nodded.
There is clearly a ‘limit’ to the talent that humans can have.
I knew this because I was given a brilliant talent and looked down at the world straight ahead. Humans exist as humans, but there are clear limits to their brilliant talents.
I didn’t mean to put limits on talent.
I knew the magnitude of the brilliant light that talent can emit because I had already seen it with my own eyes. Ever since I met my father, who looked down on everything as the emperor of the empire, the sky of the world was to me.
Just as there cannot be two suns in the sky, I could clearly see the magnitude of talent.
therefore.
“I wonder if Azazel will attend this banquet.”
Although he spoke softly, he narrowed his eyes.
Now that I had invited her to dinner, I felt intense curiosity.
Several high-ranking nobles gather at this banquet hall. In addition, Rachel and I, and Han Cheon-seong, who was strangely threatened by the apostle, will now be standing at the dinner table.
If so many beings gathered in one place, it would be very… … .
It will feel ‘desirable’.
“Of course she would participate.”
“I guess so. But I’m curious what it will look like.”
Jerk.
Even as he spoke, he started walking again.
‘A being directly or indirectly influenced by the Nine Apostles.’
If not, then it is a being created by the nine apostles.
Either one.
In my mind, I was already judging the woman named Azazel that way.
At the same time, my eyes were drawn to the various powerful energies felt around me. The number of golden knights currently in this mansion is in the double digits.
And among them, even the highest-ranking knight with special power has come from the imperial court to guard this place.
‘Are you really going to reveal it?’
I happily presented the apple to her.
Even if an apple that is so delicious is said to be poisonous, it would be difficult not to bite into it.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
***
A dazzling halo of light began to surround the mansion.
And the important people who arrived throughout the mansion immediately began moving to one place.
The place they are heading to is the Grand Hall.
The place where the banquet is held is a place where colorful vases lined up in a row create a refreshing atmosphere, and when the main door of the grand hall is opened to reveal the inside, luxurious food in golden glasses and plates is placed on numerous tables. decorated.
In addition, soft music began to play from one side of the banquet hall. Along with the sound of the piano, the gorgeous melody of the harp spread quietly, expressing even mystery.
ㅡ!
As the bell rang announcing the start of the banquet, the invitees, along with influential high-ranking nobles, began to enter the grand hall one by one.
And between them. There was a clearly alien presence.
A striking red uniform, and a clearly different appearance from other nobles. It was Han Cheon-seong, awkwardly standing on one side of the banquet hall.
“… … .”
Even though I gently lifted a glass of whiskey to moisten my mouth, my mouth still felt like it was burning.
The people you see are so elegant and luxuriously dressed.
I knew that they were all nobles, especially nobles from influential and famous families.
‘The dinner… … .’
I never thought it was a place like this.
Isn’t this just a banquet? The scale was completely different from what I thought I would spend time with Prince Dersen and Princess Rachel.
It was too big.
“There’s no need to be so nervous.”
The voice I heard next to me involuntarily caught my attention.
“… … yes.”
Even as I spoke, I felt very strange.
There was a woman there. Her long black hair, which usually fell to her waist, was tied up straight, clearly showing off her facial features. And she shows off her brilliantly shining appearance.
“… … .”
I couldn’t get used to seeing Azazel in a pure white dress.
A little while ago, I was finally released from the suffocating inner room by talking alone with Rachel, and I had to enter the banquet hall right away.
And soon we met.
Azazel shows a completely different beauty.
‘Why on earth is Azazel at this banquet?’
I couldn’t understand it from that point on. Even the royal family was present at this banquet.
The main characters here are Dersen and Rachel.
But now, Azazel, who I most suspect is an apostle, is at this banquet.
What does that mean? My already complicated mind felt like it was about to explode.
Even now, the way she was staring at me felt strange.
“So what are your thoughts on me?”
“… … “Sentimental.”
Sreuk.
When Azazel gently grabbed the hem of her dress and made a gesture, I inadvertently stopped.
“It’s about how I look now.”
“Do you really need my opinion?”
“I have no one to talk to here but you.”
I hesitated as he spoke calmly, but ended up just answering.
Actually, so did I.
Unlike Rachel, who I had a conversation with in the boudoir, I was unable to approach anyone else and strike up a conversation in this banquet hall.
Just as Azazel is by my side now, it felt natural for me to be by her side.
Hesitant.
I hesitated with my lips and eventually answered.
“… … “It’s very pretty.”
The reason they are watching me now is because many nobles are paying more attention to Azazel than to me. That meant that her appearance was outstanding enough to overwhelm even many nobles.
Grinning.
“okay? I wondered if I was like that, but it seems like I really am. “If even you, who hate me, look at me and say that.”
I was momentarily taken aback by the sight of Azazel smiling slightly at my words.
It was really strange.
Even though he knows that I hate her, is it possible for him to say something like that so casually?
“Azazel, aren’t you nervous?”
“Not really. I’m just not nervous. “I was properly invited, so I feel like I just attended to be polite.”
“invite? “You were invited by someone.”
Ok.
While continuing the conversation absentmindedly, he gently put down the whiskey he was holding on a nearby table.
Although I was curious, my heart fluttered a little.
To be honest, I thought I was a complete idiot.
Even though I was the center of attention every day at the Academy, I just ignored it and lived my life calmly, but now that I think about it, it doesn’t seem like it was.
It felt different to be receiving the gaze of so many nobles knowingly or unknowingly.
“Han Tiansheng. “Bow your head for a moment.”
“… … uh?”
As I lowered my head in a daze without even understanding what I heard, Azazel naturally came to my ear.
At that moment, my body froze at the sight of her approaching me.
“… … “Prince Dersen.”
Azazel whispered in my ear in a strange voice.
‘Dersen?’
Why did he invite Azazel?
Phew… … .
Then, when a tickling breath touched my ear, I felt like goosebumps appeared all over my body without me knowing.
“What are you doing now?”
When I woke up from my daze and stared at her, Azazel laughed and pulled himself away from me.
Seeing that, I couldn’t help but fall into even more confusion.
‘Azazel is really acting like this… … .’
Should we be on guard as an apostle?
