The Bastard of the Famous Magic Family Became the Prince of the Enemy Country

Morgan had closely monitored Cruz ever since he came out of the mage tower.

I used everyone I could move to investigate the whereabouts of Cruz recently.

As a result, it was certain that Cruz had met Amcheongdae.

It was discovered by backtracking his actions through the watchful eyes planted in various places.

Morgan was shocked by this.

‘Why not me?’

Upon learning this fact, Morgan was greatly shaken mentally.

He didn’t know exactly what the queen had entrusted him with.

The very fact that Cruz was entrusted with moving with the Amcheongdae made Morgan collapse.

Ever since I was little, I was told that I had the least talent among the three brothers, but I persevered.

And in the end, he succeeded in producing more than the talent that was evaluated.

Although they were tied in the festival, they were not barbarians, and it was not something that could be judged solely on that basis.

But to entrust this to him right away?

‘It’s not the others, it’s the Dark Cheongdae. They are beings that no one can handle unless it is Mama’s order… … .’

This fact came as a great shock and despair to Morgan.

With the thought that the queen considers Cruz as the crown prince, she feels as if all her efforts have gone to waste.

‘To think I’ve been treated like this because I’ve been playing around all my life and now I’m working hard… … !’

I know what you’re thinking is beside the point.

Even so, Morgan couldn’t help but think this way.

The reason why he was aiming for the crown prince while putting in bloody efforts was because of his desire for power.

More than that, the biggest reason was the desire to be recognized by the Queen.

It seemed that the foundation was about to collapse, so Morgan was anxious and even thought it was absurd.

‘… … Damn it, it doesn’t calm down.’

To deal with this, we need to solve this problem.

Information for this is too scarce.

I don’t know anything other than that Cruz is meeting with Amcheongdae and doing something.

The power was great, but it felt like I couldn’t use that power properly because of my lack of experience.

[Come to me if you need my help. I am more useful than you think.]

After the festival, I remembered what Bernant had said when he came to visit me.

In the past, an uncle who competed with the queen for the throne until the end.

Now, the power he has is not so great, but he was a person whose experience and insight could not be ignored.

‘… … I never thought I would consider this method.’

Similar suggestions have been made in the past.

Let’s hold hands, or tell us if you need help.

Naturally, Morgan refused.

Because there was no reason

He didn’t like reaching out to someone who had rivaled the queen in the past.

However, it is impossible to directly ask the queen about the relationship between Cruz and Amchungdae… … .

“… … Tsk.”

In the end, Morgan clicked his tongue and moved to meet a person.

* * *

After completing Toplen’s investigation, he returned to the palace.

Of course, I did not return straight away, but put several stopovers in the middle to confuse those investigating my whereabouts.

I had to hide the fact that I went to the border of the Kangma tribe or that I was moving with the Dark Cheongdae.

When I arrived at the palace civil war, the Queen and Leah greeted me.

“I’m back, Mama.”

“okay. I heard the report from Leah, but I want to hear it from you too.”

After a light greeting, he immediately told the information he found out through the ceiling.

The size of the soldiers to be moved to Toplen, and the logistics in the vicinity.

In addition to the kingdom and the border did not face the place to send troops.

After talking about these small things first, he added information that could be said to be the point of contact between the Resurrection Church and the Gangma tribe.

“The guess that the Rehabilitation Church is trying to establish a new place here is probably correct.”

“Is there another reason?”

“In the past, the Resurrection Church was driven to the brink of destruction by a large family. It seems to have split in two in the process.”

That time was six years before I died.

“Then, what are you planning to do next?”

“There is no change in the direction of destroying them. However, plans like before will be difficult.”

Originally, the Queen planned to investigate the Resurrection Church secretly to the limit and then knock it out at once.

I heard about their cockroach-like viability through information.

‘However, at present, when it is almost certain that he colluded with the river demons, that method has become impossible.’

Although weaker than the Kingdom, the Kangma tribe has the greatest national power among the foreign races.

Since you have already formed an alliance with them, it will be difficult to get rid of them in one hit.

For this to be possible, we need to hit their bases first.

The situation is presumed to be in the territory of the Kangma tribe… … .

“If I can destroy the Resurrection Church, I will not hesitate to engage in military clashes with the Kangma Tribe.”

Although it may seem extreme.

As someone who had directly fought against the Resurrection Church in the past, I thought the Queen’s judgment was very reasonable.

They are the ones who will do anything for the sake of power.

Not only was it radical, but its mindset was a group of fanatics that went beyond the normal human category.

If these guys perfectly settle down and grow in power, the kingdom will inevitably consume considerable national power.

‘I have to organize it at this time.’

Compared to the 4 generations, they are already behind with their full strength, but is this a waste of national power?

The future after that was obvious.

“Actually, beating the river demons has been something I’ve been considering for a long time.”

“Is that so?”

“Aside from being wild and arrogant, their existence is a huge hindrance to the kingdom.”

That obstruction means more than a military threat.

It was close to the meaning that it interfered with the strengthening of the kingdom and the development of national power.

“Based on the situation on the Feyer continent and incoming information, the giant family has already made up their mind.”

“If you decide… … ?”

“The determination to devour both continents.”

… … Is it going that way too?

“Currently, they are in a truce, but this is more of an act to conserve strength and prepare for a second invasion.”

The Queen predicted that in the near future the 4th family would attack the northern family of the Feyer continent.

“At that time, not just two will participate in the war as before, but all four will participate.”

“It means that we should prepare and support in our own way.”

“okay. Because it is in the kingdom’s interest for the northern family to endure as much as possible.”

“If so, how are you going to handle this?”

The Queen pointed to the map lying on the table.

It was a mountain range named Ikerov.

It was a place that was neither the land of the river demons nor the kingdom.

It’s because it’s rugged and the soil quality is not good, so people couldn’t live there.

The information obtained from Toplen indicated that this place was one of the bases of the Resurrection Church.

“After we secretly hit this place, we will announce the existence of the Resurrection Church.”

And the Queen’s will was announced accordingly, and the word that war would be declared was added.

“Then we should also prepare for a military clash with the Kangma tribe.”

“I guess so. I don’t know if they really want to go to war with us, but they won’t back down.”

Hearing the queen’s promise, I slightly lowered my head and lowered my voice.

“I have a request for my mother.”

“Are you asking me to entrust that operation to you?”

“… … Yes that’s right.”

Knock knock.

The queen tapped her fingers on the table and thought for a moment.

That look was a little surprising to me.

Individual skills have already been proven through sparring with Morgan.

In addition to that, I thought that I had sufficiently proved my practical experience and practical skills through recent events.

Because the queen was still hesitating.

‘If it was the previous queen, she would have readily agreed.’

It was a thought I had because I had enough trust in me.

“Crus.”

“Yes, Mama.”

“Do you know what Morgan is like these days?”

… … Morgan?

“I don’t know because I haven’t seen it since Dalian.”

“is it.”

I was puzzled for a moment when the queen suddenly asked how he was doing.

Sooner or later I realized the intention.

‘… … That’s right, I’m worried about Morgan.’

Considering his character and circumstances, it was reasonable.

I take great pride in the level and skills I have accumulated through hard work.

He is in a tie with a wizard of a lower level than himself.

Besides, it wasn’t an ordinary match, but a place that could affect the installation of the crown prince.

This is not the feeling of a queen thinking about the next throne.

It was close to the feelings of parents thinking of their children.

Seeing this kind of heart reminded me of my father, who was the only one in the Ronberg family, who protected me, and my heart was full.

‘… … Well, I have no intention of stepping down.’

It was an opportunity I could not miss.

He has made significant contributions to the investigation and tracking of the Resurrection Church.

And if you take a direct part in destroying one of their lairs?

Its ripple effect will be indescribable.

Until now, there had been no existence of a regeneration group in the kingdom, but few people were unaware of its notoriety.

Besides, considering I’ll run into them later, I shouldn’t have missed this one.

The justification for this is sufficient, so the queen will not be able to disapprove of it easily.

“I will grant your request, Cruz.”

“Thank you, Mama. I will never make you disappointed.”

The moment I was about to go back after saying goodbye.

The Queen spoke in a more tolerant voice than usual.

“Crus.”

“Yes, Mama.”

“You’ve made me happy enough, so there’s no need to be impatient.”

… … I knew there was a lot of meaning in those words.

I replied by bowing my head without speaking.

A few days passed like that.

Preparations for a raid on one of the Resurrection Church’s residences in the Ikerov Mountains were almost over.

As the operation focused on secrecy, the Amcheongdae, not the military, moved.

Other than that, while adding the power of the raiding force, the guards knights to escort me followed.

‘As I’ve heard, it’s quite barren.’

The soil quality was not good enough to understand that the kingdom and the river demons did not covet each other.

Despite the rain not long ago, the cracked ground was visible to the naked eye.

Although it is said to be a mountain range there, it felt more desolate than thick with trees.

“I’m back, my dear.”

It was Leah who spoke softly.

He had returned after serving as an advance party to confirm the secret base of the Resurrection Church.

“According to the information, it seems clear that this is their residence.”

“Tell me in detail what the inside looks like.”

“There were quite a few people hanging around at the entrance of the cave. And I could feel the presence in it.”

“… … Were you hanging around?”

“Yes, lower.”

There was a strange sense of incongruity in Leah’s words.

Let’s recall the experience of the previous life of attacking the residence of the Resurrection Church several times.

They were careful not to make the area around the base feel suspicious.

I was careful not to feel the traces of people by placing several roads to and from the dwelling.

Do those guys go in and out around the exposed entrance?

“Lea, did they carry anything inside or something?”

“No, there was no movement like that.”

“… … It moves.”

I moved cautiously with the thought that first of all, I should check with my eyes.

The scale is not very large, but each one is more talented than me.

That’s why I was able to move secretly.

Just like when I heard Leah’s words upon arriving at my destination.

I felt an indescribable sense of discomfort.

“They didn’t notice, so I think we can attack now.”

“… … Wait a moment.”

From nob le mt l dot com

Leah’s advice was left behind, and he was lost in thought.

‘What is the identity of this sense of incongruity?’

It wasn’t just a feeling that was different from what I had experienced.

When you think rationally, it doesn’t seem to make sense… … It was close to an incomprehensible feeling.

I’ve been scratching my head like that for a while.

‘… … Yes, something like that.’

It was a rather troubling conclusion, though.

I couldn’t think of anything other than this.

‘The information leaked.’
