Egret

Five years have passed since King Judas was crowned prince.

He completed all his studies within two years, as he had foreseen, and achieved early graduation from Lubach University.

And after graduation, I stepped through the process of being a successor to the monarchy.

At the age of 17, Judas began preparing to leave the "Path of Pilgrimage", a kind of last class he received as a Crown Prince.

The length of the pilgrimage was the custom that the successor of the monarch who ruled Lubarzan in the Empire must go through.

The ruler is obliged to examine the territory and country under his rule.

It was the purpose of this pilgrimage to fulfill its duties and fulfill its responsibilities as a monarch.

Usually, for the safety of the Crown Prince, numerous Imperial Guards and Knights follow him and announce his visit in advance to each territory.

Therefore, Judas refused to do so, although he would go as a gentleman for communion with the Jews and nobles rather than as a visitor.

He stepped out and gave the Emperor the blues himself.

“I don't want to waste this opportunity. Your Majesty, please allow me to see the true life of people. I want to know what I can do for them. ”

In my past life, I've become very curious about things that were just too urgent to avoid.

He wanted to know the lives of others, and in order to do so, he asked them not to go on foot with extreme treatment, but to take risks and go undercover without notifying anyone.

After a long silence, the emperor, who had been asked to turn his head, gave him heavy permission.

Instead, he allowed two Imperial Shadow Guards to accompany the Crown Prince Crisis Corps as a condition.

Then the Emperor left a sharp warning to Judas.

“The things on your shoulders are no longer the same weight as five years ago. You are the next sun in Lubarzan. If a threat is inflicted on your neck, the neck of all those who follow you will flee, and if you act diligently and cause even small injuries, the price will never be lighter. Remember this.”

If Judas goes wrong on this pilgrimage, the throne naturally passes to the Second Prince.

King Kaiser was only two years younger than Judas, a 15-year-old boy.

An exceptional physician with a gentle personality, he was a great emperor without any corner as a successor to the Emperor, although he was not noticeable due to the absence of an outspoken force that actively supported him like Sage.

Until Judas opened his wings, there was a movement to follow him and establish himself as the next monarch, but the events caused by Empress Saya, who died five years ago, were scattered.

At this time, there was no reason to push out the First Crown, which is supported by the powerful power of four-attribute spirituality and numerous nobles.

Judas was perfect as Prince of Lubarzan.

There was no more revolt, and the two emperors, of a gentle nature, were living in peace without great ambition.

In this situation, Judas said he would go on a pilgrimage trail, which in some way could encourage another uproar.

But the Emperor didn't stop him.

‘If you will, do it yourself. If it were a tree to fall here, it wouldn't survive a bigger fight anyway. ’

It was the Crown Prince's first written permission and test, and it was also an expression of trust.

With the permission of the Emperor, the Imperial Palace was quietly prepared for him.

The leader of the Crown Prince's Crisis Corps is Edan R. It was Hayga.

After graduating from Lubach a year and a half later than Judas, Edan became an immediate knight based on the aid of the Duke's family and the excellent work he had done in the meantime. He was appointed to the pro-crisis division in early last year.

At the age of 19, no one could be defeated by the sword in the Empire, so I was qualified to take over the task of escorting the Crown Prince.

The Royal Guard included not only ordinary knights, but also wizards and healers.

After joining as a wizard, Baikal worked as a staff member with Judas for practical social information and sincere advice.

Marzen, who graduated at a similar time as them, was the successor to the Earl's family, acting like a meat found in the water system.

Finally, in the case of Cristina, I went back to Duchess Young and informed her that she had barely attended social activities while undergoing private tutoring.

In the ‘Pilgrimage Road’, which is about to depart, twelve pro-crisis divisions led by Edan and two imperial shadow guards were attached, bringing the total number of people together to fifteen.

It was so organized that a slight fluctuation occurred on the day before departure.

“I can't believe you're leaving without me, Master. ”

“…… Oh my, how did you know? ”

“Huh. Did you forget I'm a Wind Spiritmaster too? Anyway, I can definitely accompany you. Don't stop it."

It was Cole who showed up with a firm will.

Cole, now over seventy, was a white-headed old man, but he was a spirit-manager, so he remained healthy compared to his age.

However, it was an age that could be difficult to move too much.

With that in mind, Judas smiled in distress.

“This is a long way to go every day, but it won't be a very comfortable schedule. ”

“It doesn't matter. You were already uncomfortable at my age, right? Don't you know that magicians who contract with the Spirit of Nature are slower and more energetic than ordinary people? ”

“Haha, one too. ”

Judas laughed as if he didn't understand Cole's words and couldn't stop him.

A former student who lived properly until over ninety years of age.

Seventy years old was for him.

I wanted it that way, but I found it hard to say no.

After all, Judas was forced to take responsibility for the death of an older disciple.

She doesn't know when it's going to get too late.

"Huhu! Don't do that too much. Uni. Cute in its own way, what do you want?

Cook Carney smiles at the sight of Uni.

It was a call with excellent friendliness to the wind and fire, so they looked pretty cute in their eyes.

Instead, Tony and Rooney were silent.

By the way, Greg.

“Hmm?”

Cole, who had received confirmation that he was coming with him, flew up from Judas' shoulders and pointed in one direction.

Hueung

A sparkling green breeze flows towards the mountains that Uni pointed to.

Why did you say you would take her?

Judas, who was sitting under a cherry tree and enjoying his rest, slowly grabbed his seat and stood up.

The long silver hair that shook in the wind was shining like a morning lake with sunshine flowing through the branches.

“I don't know, it's a change. I want to give him a chance to see the world. ”

His gaze was towards the direction where the palace of silence was located.

Yesterday, Prince Sage, now fourteen, willingly reached out for his half-brother.

This was another royal tribute for Sage, who lost her mother and was trapped alone in the palace of silence.

Accompany the Three Kings on this pilgrimage.

The Gentiles were strongly opposed, but the Emperor gave permission to Gearco and his bureau.

Thus, there were seventeen people on the royal pilgrimage to depart the next day.

This is Judas E. Lubarzan Archidion was the first footprint to be written in history.

The Crown Prince left the palace quietly without informing anyone.

Some nobles in the middle office knew it was time for him to leave the pilgrimage road, but did not know exactly when to leave and where to go.

Judas, who decided to go undercover, even hid himself from the Emperor's car on the day he left.

Even the group moving together did not know where his first step was headed.

He didn't intend to use the portal anymore, not in any particular case, nor did he ride the wagon.

The means of transportation were specially managed by the Imperial Court.

They were racehorses specially cultivated with Wyrmbreds. They received basic training from their infancy, as well as combat training. They were strong and smart.

Each one also had a metal rigid guard, which had special magic for safety and convenience, so it was advantageous not to put a heavy burden on the rider's body even if riding for a long time.

Edan and the twelve knights, of course, thought even the young Sage would ride.

Older Cole also comfortably climbed on horseback using the Spirit of Wind.

So they set out straight without going through anything.

The awkward dawn, which had not yet dawned, resounded through the cold air of the fifteen hooves.

Two shadow guards, who were attached by the Emperor at a distance from them, followed him secretly.

Judas, who departed at dawn and left the capital, stood still in front of a creek only in the afternoon when the sun rose high above the sky.

In the spring, ice melted and clear streams were flowing.

The group began to prepare a simple meal where the horses' necks would be axed and rested.

Judas looks around, watering his horse.

It was far from the capital, and the yellow dead grass continued endlessly.

A small tall fruit tree was planted on the front, bent along a low slope.

The small trees, barely reaching the thighs of an adult, stretched their branches without energy while being exposed to the cosy sunshine of early spring.

Looking back at the dead leaves that were dried without chewing, Tony, who was hanging over his head, sat down on the floor.

"Greg! It's weird here.

"I know it's weird, kid.

While bruising, Uni flew up captive.

A gentle green breeze blew through the mountains as she moved.

"But all the trees here are dead. Oops, the land is fine. Someone killed him on purpose!

Tony curls his head in curiosity and splashes like a puppy in the dirt.

It is too desolate to pretend.

It was not that the water was not flowing in the creek, nor that the spring began and the weather was cold. Overall, the plants were withering away.

Judas slowly climbed the hill with his horse in the creek.

The four attribute spirits that materialized and manifested themselves together scattered sparkling bubbles and green winds every place he passed.

If it had been the way it was, the trees that would have sprung blue leaves around this time were all withered with black, dead leaves.

The whole tree was planted widely along the slope of the slope.

It was the moment he came close and brought his hand to the dead leaf.

“Your Majesty.”

One day, Edan followed behind him.
