Egret

At the age of 19 this year, Edan was an adult who had already completed his adult ceremony last year under imperial law.

I was taller than I was when I was traveling with Lubach, and due to my thorough self-care, I made as many muscles as I needed to be in a suitable position to swing the sword.

The black hair was cut neatly along the neckline to keep it neat, and the beard was shaved daily to give a smooth jaw a sharp impression.

Although originally a strong and responsible character, he became more discreet as he assumed the role of commander of the Crown Prince's Crisis Corps.

“I don't feel good. You won't be staying here long. ”

“Edan.”

“…… Yes. ”

Edan bows to a gentle call.

“This place is outside the palace. I don't think we're going to be sneaking around anymore. ”

“…… Sorry. I will correct it.”

“If so, how do you intend to correct it? ”

“ ……. ”

Edan looks at Judas, who bites ugly, and his mouth is blocked.

This was the first time I stepped on an elite course to assist the Lord's Ambush as commander of the pro-crisis corps.

Judas smiled a little as he kept his mouth shut for a long time after a situation that prevented the Crown Prince from being called the Crown Prince and the Royal Guard from being called the Royal Guard.

“Enough with the name as before. Will you do that?”

“ ……! ”

How dare you say, "Edan nodded heavily with a heartbreak in his tongue.

Having spent five years by the Lord's side, he was familiar with the fact that the Crown Prince's stubbornness seemed to be tougher than the iron wire.

In order to accomplish this scouting mission properly, Judas was transformed into an ordinary brown with visible silver feet.

Changing colors was very simple.

All you need to do is wear a special hat researched by the Imperial Wizards.

The narrow black midhair on the bristles turned brown with a magical effect, whatever its original color was.

On the contrary, returning the color was also a very simple way to remove the hat.

It's the name of the Crown Prince. It was famous, but it didn't really matter because it wasn't written alone in the Empire anyway.

Originally, the name of the great man or nobleman of the time is often used as a child's name.

In the same context, the name 'igret’ was also used by many children of this age.

“Uh, I'm ready for dinner. What are you two doing there? ”

Baikal across the scholarly blue robe approaches them and laughs.

Judas and Edan looked at him at the same time.

“Look.”

“Yes?”

Baikal looks down heavily at Judas' palms.

Inside was a leaf of a black twisted plant.

“Why do you think a creek flows near you, and the earth dies even though it is healthy? ”

“Hmm, that's it. What kind of sickness did this..... die? ”

After a thorough examination of the dead leaves in Judas' palm, Baikal turned his head and checked all the withered trees along the hill and filled his tongue.

“Is there a plague going on here? ”

Aeeng.

"What else is Eeeen?"

Tony shook his head at the words.

"This is not a disease. If it's a disease, it doesn't dry up like this!

Tony, stirring his head with his materialization, gathers the eyes of three people.

Judas was the only one who could hear the sound, but Edan and Baikal were also thinking about stopping.

“No way.”

“... Command? ”

Two people murmured at the same time.

Five years ago, after Emperor Saya's commando incident, the word 'command’ was no longer exotic to them.

Long-standing contraindications began to flourish everywhere, starting with that day.

Those who have mastered commanding techniques are said to rule by punishment, but reports of commanding officers have gradually increased, as if someone were deliberately preaching the law.

For those who want greater and stronger power, the spirit has come as attractive as a fish in front of a hungry cat.

Because of that, a large and small incident erupted due to the commando saying it was a long day away.

“My thoughts are the same as yours. But..... ”

Judas plunders the dead leaves in his hand.

Unlike the changed hair, the still clear gold eyes glistened gently towards them.

“First of all, it's important to know what the purpose is. ”

“Yes?”

“Why have you dried up all the trees of this land and killed them? ”

Weird answers came back as Baikal made a curious look.

“With the power of the Command, I could have killed a man. ”

It was hard to hear.

Judas, who expressed a slight cold anger about the commandos, turned his steps without purifying the trees.

When the three of them came down from the hill, they brought the soup and bread prepared by the relatives.

As Edan became the Knight Commander, Judas, who had frequent facial encounters with other relatives, became familiar with them.

A red-headed boy sits in front of a bonfire with a boiling pot.

Judas sits next to him with a plate.

“It's still pretty chilly. ”

“Brother... ”

“It feels warm in front of the campfire. Right?"

Sage, who was staring at the burning fire, smiled at Judas without eating bread.

“Yes, I didn't know you were setting a campfire like this. ”

“I've never seen you before. ”

“It's warm. It's much warmer than it was in the palace. ”

Now, at the age of fourteen, Sage became very calm, unlike when he was young and vibrant.

I was trapped in the Silent Palace for a long time, so I was passive because I couldn't meet many people.

However, he came to see himself regularly, and now he has a brother who brought him out of the palace, so that he can grow up straight without being crooked.

The two brothers looked at the campfire and shared the story of Dorandor together.

By the time he finished his rough meal and got up, Judas turned his back on what was originally meant to be a better run and headed to a nearby city.

It was solely up to Judas to determine the group's destination, so everyone followed his will without questioning it.

‘Raven City. ’

Judas, who caught his eye on the name of the city inscribed on the pamphlet, lightly put the magic hat on his head.

Mystically shimmering silver hair suddenly bites into plain brown.

At the same time, all the spirits that were materialized according to his will concealed themselves.

He slows down his horse to the city entrance.

Raven was also the name of the city, but also the name of the territory, including the small villages around him.

Raven territory was sustaining the economy through agriculture and forestry.

It was a typical neighborhood to see everywhere.

“Stop! I'm checking your identity, so please cooperate. ”

In all of the cities where the lord lives, he went from the entrance to check his identity.

Thorough security was essential, especially at times as gloomy as these days.

Judas' group passed the checkpoint using a pre-packed camouflage ID.

The identity they used in this ambush was the aristocrats and escorts on their way.

Even though I could not serve as a commoner with the Royal Guard attached to the escort as its name suggests, the nobleman chose morality first.

It was very common for a teenage noble commander to drag escorts around.

Usually they use a wagon or ride a portal, but often they wander around on horseback like Judas.

It was due to the burning adventure of his age and curiosity about the world.

In a way, Judas was no different from his name, so it was a perfect station.

“What are the specialties here? ”

Judas asks for security like a noble restraint full of expectations for a new city.

Once his identity was confirmed as noble, the guard replied kindly.

“It's a dipped wine with blueberries. It's a lot sweeter and more fragrant than berries anywhere else. ”

“Oh, is that so? But I don't think I've seen anything like a blueberry tree since I came. ”

He scratched his head purposefully and explained with a sorry expression by the guards.

“Since last year, all the trees have dried up. Only the seedlings are barely alive, but it is still too much to bear fruit.. But since there are so many products until last year, it won't be hard to get. ”

The price jumped more than five times the cost of the wind, but the guard broke it and didn't explain it.

Judas, who was clearly penetrating his innermost self, just laughed and passed by.

“I'll take a look. Well done."

“Enjoy your visit in Raven City. ”

Those who entered the city descended from horses and left them in shelters.

Judas walks into a buzzing marketplace and sees things as a relaxing step.

It was a relaxed attitude that seemed to have come to see.

Those who followed followed followed followed him quietly, while doubting his unusual behavior.

“Pick, pick! One silver for three! ”

“We sell sweet berry juice, not just from Raven City! ”

“Buy 5 blueberry breads and 2 silver coins before you run out! ”

The waxy marketplace was mainly full of food.

Judas bought some juice and bread and turned them over to the group one by one.

“Your Majesty...... No, Judas. There's no food to sell in these places. ”

“It's okay. You can't sell something where people live. ”

“One.”

“Eat it. It tastes so sweet. You don't want to eat sweets, do you? ”

“…… No. ”

The emperor must not put any food in his mouth.

Especially for Judas, who was the successor of the Emperor, special care was needed.

But even from the stakeout, he could not eat only precious things.

Rather, the prince, who was rumored to have a short mouth in the palace, swallowed the people's food without leaving any powder.

Sage and Cole also had to taste the snacks given to them by Edan and other knights.

Bread and juice made with sweet blueberries were sprinkled with sugar to produce a stimulating sweetness.

Edan, who hated only food, was almost tortured, but he chewed the bread without frowning on his face.

Huuwung

A green wind scattered his clothes.

One lap around the city, Uni sits on Judas' shoulders and opens his mouth.

I got it. I think the lord here is in trouble.

No one but Judas saw the Spirit.

As he drank the juice, he pretended to watch the walk and listened to Uni's explanation.

I think they're exploiting the villagers a lot. It's yours, and it's yours, of course. I don't know how to share it, but I'm over-collecting it and taking it away. This time, the blueberry farming is ruined because the lord is greedy...
