My Ex-Girlfriend Was Appointed As the Knights Commander - Chapter 153



151. red wave (1)

At Leon Benning’s words, the expressions of the ministers who were on the king’s side completely hardened. And the fact that the Count had personally attended the meeting served as a signal flare, and ministers under the Count followed suit and repeated Leon Benning’s words.

“”Please appoint the 2nd prince as the crown prince and depose the 1st prince!”

The king met eyes with the Count, who slightly raised his head towards him. A person who tries to take control of the court, using Kyle as a shield. The king then looked at the ministers who, in unison with the count, insisted that the first prince be abolished. What was reflected in their eyes was not ambition. A naive desire to eat the dregs that fall from the huge meat mass of power.

“Your Highness, the will of your servants is like this. Please make your decision.”

The throne was heavy with the weight of the crown pressing down on his head. The king did not consider Kyle a sinner who rebelled against him. He understood the heart of the second prince who pointed his sword at him, and felt sorry for him. Even so, the king raised his sword. He raised his sword and aimed at the 2 princes to cut off the point of the sword pointed at him.

One’s own sins, one’s own karma.

Karma that twisted the truth and changed the future of their children. This resulted in him having to cross swords with his own children. What could have been right? The king tightly gripped the armrest of the throne. If I had made a choice then, wouldn’t the same thing as now happen?

Should I have sent Helen to the concubine and let the shadow of power consume her? Should he have deceived his heart, killed her again, made Mary his fiancee, and loved her as if he cared for Helene?

‘Jim, I never regret this decision.’

The king remembered Helen’s smile. Before she left first, I recalled the memory of being able to love her first. The eyes of the servants surrounding the king grew distant.

Lewis, Kyle and Michelle. Resent this helpless father.

“The burden is,”

The king opened his mouth. Daejeon’s gaze was focused on the king.

“I will never abolish Prince 1 and Louise.”

Cold water was splashed on the Great War, which was boiling with the momentum to eat the king at any moment. To those who began to stare at him with obvious hostility, the king spoke every word clearly, so that even their distant ears could understand.

“together!”

The King turned his gaze to Leon Benning.

“The qualifications of a crown prince do not belong only to the first and second princes. As the kings said, seeing the first prince and the first princess grown up, I feel that I must hurry up and decide who will succeed the throne.”

The king finally abandoned Kyle. He chose to walk into the pit of fire, carrying all the guilt and responsibility that remained on him like firewood.

No, it wasn’t even that sublime in the first place. It was just that he climbed up on the firewood he had piled up and lit the firewood himself.

“However, there will never be a time when Jim will appoint the second prince as crown prince.”

At the king’s remarks, the ministers began to stir this time.

“How can the throne of this country be entrusted to those who are seduced by the words of the wicked and to the 2 princes who are shaken by them!”

“majesty! How!”

Surprised servants protested. As expected, Leon Benning met the King’s words without batting an eye.

“Your Highness, how can you say that a god’s actions are wrong just because he supports the second prince?”

“Jim’s will is firm. If the Lords want to make Second Prince Jeong enter the race for the throne again, it would be better to come up with a better agenda than a request to depose Prince 1 on the grounds of his birth.”

Leon Bening no longer refuted or rebelled against the king’s words.

“For those of you who still think Jim’s words are wrong, open your mouth again.”

The King’s words and Leon Bening’s silence were an opportunity for the ministers who were on the King’s side. One of them mustered up all his courage and stepped forward.

“Your Majesty is absolutely right. If the first prince is deposed due to this scandal, it will on the contrary shake the foundation of the kingdom.”

The king’s eyes and the count’s eyes met him at the same time. The king nodded his head to the minister who pulled back in fear.

“Your words are right. Your words and Jim’s thoughts are exactly the same.”

The king raised his voice even more.

“If anyone wants to say more, feel free to step forward.”

Daejeon is silent again. Leon Benning merely lowered his head without any reaction, as if he had no intention of pushing this agenda any further by force. The king sighed quietly in the midst of the overwhelming silence. Days like this will continue in the future. It felt like a headache.

“Then, let’s move on to the next item.”

The meeting that took place after that ended without any change. When the meeting was over, the ministers left in a murmur. Most of the time, he was watching Leon Benning, but no one had the courage to approach and talk to him. Leon Benning looked at the ministers as if he were looking at a school of fish.

“Why didn’t you put more pressure on me?”

Except for one person. Leon Benning stared blankly at Emile Bordain, who had come to his side. Léon Benning, who had been looking at Emile Bordain without answering for a while, spoke again.

“Because there is no point in talking further. Emil, no matter what I say, the king will not desist from the first prince, nor will he make the second prince crown prince. In fact, even though public sentiment in the royal capital is quite agitated.”

Leon Benning turns his head toward the ministers who are rushing out of the Great War.

“And, I already got what I wanted.”

Near the entrance of Daejeon, a man who had become contemplative walked slowly and approached the count. It was the 2nd Prince, Kyle Loir, who had been listening to all the contents of the meeting that had taken place today.

—

“Jim will never seal the first prince.”

The king’s voice sounded so unfamiliar.

“… How can the throne of this country be entrusted to those who are seduced by the words of the wicked and to the 2 princes who are shaken by them!”

How can you, how can you say that? All of those sins are yours!

Kyle inevitably sharpened his teeth. Even though he knew that in his head, the sincerity of the king, which he had ignored in his heart, became a charge that could destroy the castle wall and knocked on Kyle’s head. Kyle sighed heavily. My head was spinning and I was dizzy. He tried to calm himself by barely finding the hilt, but the beating that started to run wild once showed no signs of subsiding.

“Do you understand now?”

The back of my neck was hot. A red-haired witch appeared before her vision, blurred with anger and despair.

“What… Are you saying you understand?”

As Kyle’s words broke out, Lillia looked at him and let out a small laugh. Even though all his senses were blurred, the sound of laughter reached Kyle’s ears clearly. A soft, grinding sound echoed through the hallway. Kyle gripped the hilt of his sword and pointed at the witch.

“How dare you laugh at me?”

“Yes, Your Highness. you’re gonna laugh Even after facing the truth, I couldn’t wait to deny it again, I tried to pretend that nothing was wrong, but I was forced to face the truth again and despair.”

Kyle let out a breath. My head was spinning. The sensation was unclear. Memories that were otherwise hazy are now starting to shatter.

“Who, who the hell is despairing right now?”

Kyle put his hand on the wall. If I didn’t do that, I felt like I would fall to my knees right away. However, the witch standing across from her didn’t care at all about Kyle’s appearance and just continued talking as if teasing him.

“Your Highness was in despair. isn’t it? Isn’t His Highness, the 2nd Prince, who boasted that he was confident that he wouldn’t be defeated by anyone’s swordsman, is shocked and staggered by his father’s words of ‘forsaking himself’?”

“Shut that mouth!”

visor-!

The 2nd prince drew his sword. He gasped and exhaled, and his eyes were red with bloodshot eyes. As if to protect herself from an approaching enemy, Lillia drew closer to the 2nd prince, who was aiming her sword here and there. The witch’s voice was sticky, deep, and dark red, like the melting fruit of hardened blood.

“You have to be honest. How are you feeling?”

“Noisy, I said it was noisy.”

Lillia’s hand caresses the tip of Kyle’s drawn knife. Blood oozes from that finger and stains the body of the knife red.

“It was always a series of turns. Siblings who are not from the same generation are raised by the same mother, and the sister born from the same generation hates herself as a child and serves her half-brother like a real older brother. The father just missed the dead queen and paid no attention in any way to the children.”

“Didn’t you say it was noisy!!”

squeak.

Kyle’s sword swung vigorously. There was the sound of the fabric being cut. Kyle took a deep breath and looked at the scene in front of him. The corpse of a witch cut in half paints the hallway red. Blood clogged Kyle’s vision again. As he swallowed the nausea that was about to rise, he heard laughter again in his ears.

“Your Highness is truly a coward. If you deny even your own heart facing the truth like that, what can you get back in the future?”

The blood that soaked the hallway gathers. The witch’s corpse, cut in half, was reconstructed with the gathering drops of blood. That hand touches her own this time. That hand returned the second prince’s sword back to its scabbard. The 2nd prince looked forward with half-despair and half-frightened eyes. Purple, while the world was stained with blood, the witch’s eyes were clearly visible.

“Say it again, Your Highness. How are you feeling?”

The voice of the two princes came out trembling.

“It’s disappointing. It is hopeless and lamentable. I am disappointed that I had high expectations, and the result is disappointing. And,”

The 2nd prince’s bloodshot eyes went blank for a moment.

“anger.”

Hearing that, the witch smiled. It was a beautiful, and more unnerving smile than any other smile.

“Do you feel the anger?”

“fleshy.”

“Where did that intent to kill come from? despair? anger?”

“Envy, disappointment.”

What I couldn’t have, what I wanted.

The bar on the heart of the second prince who unconsciously resisted the curse was completely released. The expectation he held on to the king collapsed in an instant and turned into ugly jealousy towards the first prince. Lillia’s smile shone even brighter.

“Exactly. to admit one’s murderous intent. And recognizing the fact that what aroused that murderous intent was too childish and primary emotion.”

Lillia’s hand caressed the second prince’s face.

“Now that you have been honest with your deep feelings, what should you do next?”

The second prince took a deep breath.

“It should come true. To get back what I want.”

The witch was laughing out loud now.

“Now, the Count will finish the meeting and walk out. Do you know what to do now?”

Kyle nodded. Suddenly, the voices of the ministers were heard. The witch disappeared, merging into the shadows, leaving a faint smile in the air.

—

Emile Bordain was able to disguise his expression as expressionless. The state of the two princes approaching them was obviously strange.

“Right. That’s how it happened.”

“majesty.”

Leon Benning and Émile Bordain bowed their heads to the second prince. The moment I heard Abi’s sincerity. Kyle fell into an indescribable despair. Disappointment? Ever since I learned the truth about Louis’ birth from the king, I couldn’t be more disappointed. The curse provoked by the witch and his own sincerity forced him to face it plunged Kyle into a dark pit of emotion.

“My choice of finding the Count was not wrong.”

Kyle’s voice was locked. Emile Bordain was able to confirm that his eyes were stained red. Beside him, Leon Benning quietly speaks. Émile Bordain knew when Leon Bening’s voice and attitude showed. When he gave her one last offer to hand over Marion before her own house caught fire.

“Your Highness, has that hesitation gone now?”

Kyle nodded. Emile Bordain constantly had to kill his expression. The preparations for the bloody winds to blow in Daejeon were over. The two princes’ tightly clenched fists trembled.

“I will draw my sword.”

Kyle said so. The corners of Leon Benning’s mouth went up slightly as he looked at the eyes wriggling with clear anger. Emile Bordain, on the other hand, had to bite his teeth to hide his pale, tired expression.

“Tonight, I take my place back.”

The 2nd Prince declared so.

“I will punish my brother and sister who only speak, and with these hands I will destroy the king who has deceived and ridiculed me.”

“We are ready, Your Highness.”

The second prince did not even respond to Leon Benning’s words and continued forward.

“Our actions will have to be as stealthy as anyone else’s.”

Leon Benning followed in the footsteps of the second prince. The fishy yet inorganic smile on her lips hinted at the future disaster.

“Yes, Your Highness. We will move quickly and more secretly than anyone else.”

Emile Bordain looked at the backs of Leon Benning and Kyle as they walked away. daughter. Marion was in danger. No, not only Marion, but everyone living and breathing in this royal palace was in danger. Emil’s breathing quickened. He foresaw the red filth that would blow upon the kingdom.

“Emile.”

Leon Bening sang Emile Bordain. Emile looked up and looked at Leon Benning. The fishy smile that hung on his lips still remained like an afterimage that hadn’t been erased.

“Yes, Count.”

“You know I will always trust you, right?”

The count’s smile did not know what he was asking Emil about. Emile Bordain looked into the Count’s face for a long time before being able to nod with difficulty.

“Yes. I know.”

Leon Benning’s eyes were not those of a laughing man. As if seeing through Emil’s everything, those narrow blue eyes were sharply thrusting a dagger into Emil’s heart.

“Yeah, that’s enough.”

Leon Benning then followed the 2nd Prince who went ahead again. how much time do you have left? Emil looked at the afternoon sun that was quickly setting. Emile Bordain’s hand fumbled toward the inside pocket of his overcoat. A small bottle of medicine was caught in his fingertips. A token of trust bestowed by the king, obtained with great difficulty.

‘once. Perhaps the time will come when I will need this medicine.’

After Emile reconfirmed the existence of the vial, he followed Leon Benning.
