Chapter 137: He''s alive?

What? Compensation?

King Eloin looked dumbfounded at the First Princesss words.

Are you asking for compensation for the victim?

Yes.

At those words, King Eloin looked at Ian in his daughters arms.

In that fleeting moment, their eyes met, and Ian subtly closed his eyes as their gazes locked.

The king was dumbfounded by the sight.

The Seventh Prince is the victim

It was right then.

Behind the First Princess, the ministers began shouting at the king.

The First Princesss words are correct. Let us not forget that the Seventh Prince sacrificed himself for Kaistein.

Even in the face of the ladys danger, he fought without forgetting his wounds. We must not forget his determination.

We must provide proper compensation to the Seventh Prince, the victim.

Everyones faces showed excitement and fervor.

It seemed like they couldnt do anything like they did just a moment ago.

It was inevitable.

Is that called the Seven Virtues, Patience?

It was truly an incredible power. I thought it was just a huge thing, but I never thought it could be wielded.

That devilish Haverion was defeated in a single blow. What a feat.

Those who wanted to follow the Seventh Prince, those who wanted to change the powers that be, those who fell in love with the Seventh Prince because of this.

Those who saw an opportunity.

They all shouted in unison.

From the time of the victory ceremony until now, there has never been a time when the Seventh Prince hasnt made an effort.

It seems only right that we should reward the victim, the Seventh Prince, with what he deserves.

It was only absurd for King Eloin.

Hes the one who created this situation in the first place.

The truth known to them and the truth known to King Eloin were completely different.

To the king, Ian was more of a perpetrator than a victim.

He was the one who had used the hammer of Patience to turn Haverion into a mute.

The king could only look at his daughter, who demanded that he make amends.

Her eyes were fixed on him.

What are you doing?

It was as if she were saying.

King Eloin was inwardly puzzled.

It was natural.

I didnt know that shed be doing that for her rival, the youngest.

The First Princess was a lot like him, with a cold and stern personality.

Moreover, she did not even show sibling affection to her other brothers.

But he never expected her to favor another brother to that extent.

Especially her biggest rival.

Thats why he stared at Ian sharply.

Could this be what you were aiming for as well?

However, the youngest child still closed his eyes and groaned as if in pain.

Although he laughed at that sight, King Eloin looked at the ministers instead of laughing.

Everyone in the hall seemed to be waiting for his response.

Kaistein is a country where merit is rewarded as much as it reveres military force.

The kings eyes shot up.

The best thing is to reveal everything here.

It wasnt difficult to find out that Ian was lying.

But.

Although it was his son, on the other hand, the cardinal of the Holy Empire, that was the problem.

And if Ians scheming was exposed, it would give leverage to the Holy Empire.

Would he allow such a thing to happen?

Anyway, it was a problem even if Ian kept faking it and even if he was rewarded.

As a king, his reputation was at stake, and there were also future problems to consider.

Then the next best option

Soon, the kings gaze turned to Duke Lavaltor.

It was enough to get help from someone who knew the whole story of this incident, as well as the lady.

It was certain that the Duke, who was like a brother to him, would surely step forward.

However, a problem arose.

Swoosh.

Duke Lavaltor turned his head away from his gaze.

King Eloin could only be taken aback for the first time.

How long have you known?

A little while.

To be exact, it was when Ian used Patience.

She saw Ians wounds through the flying bandages.

Obviously, the area where he was stabbed with a knife was completely smooth.

Thats not all.

Injured people dont breathe so evenly. Be more careful next time.

The reason the First Princess gave Ian a lap was for no other reason than to confirm if Ian was truly unharmed.

And as soon as she noticed his even breathing, the First Princess was certain.

Ian, seeming puzzled, asked.

But why did you

Are you asking if I helped you?

The First Princess smiled slightly at the look in Ians eyes.

Whether it is grace or resentment, if a person receives something, it makes sense to repay it. I also received it from you. I should give it back at least once.

That wasnt a lie.

Thanks to Ian, the First Princess gained more benefits than she had expected.

Not only did she escape the grasp of the Second Prince, whom she thought would hold the reins for her lifetime, but she was also able to save herself and her soldiers from danger during a critical moment in the Northern Expedition, all thanks to the youngest prince.

Its not just that. This time, he directly saved my life.

Ian was clearly her competitor.

However, it did not suit her temperament to just accept things from such a competitor.

There was something else important.

And I gave our father a blow too. That was enough.

There was also anger towards their father, who clearly knew something was wrong but did not come forward.

She hated the way he always looked down on everything from above.

The First Princess got up from her seat as if she was finally relieved.

However, dont assume Ill act like this next time. There is only one throne.

She turned and left without even looking back.

Fiosen slowly tried to move Ian onto the stretcher.

But Ian stopped it.

Its okay. Let me walk out on my own now.

Yes? But there are still people outside

Its okay. Didnt the Princess say so? Ill walk out on my own.

?

Ian got up slowly, as if nothing had happened.

And he opened the door leading outside.

And Fiosen couldnt help but be surprised.

!

There was really no one outside.

There was not a single knight guarding the entrance to the hall, nor even a single servant in sight.

Fiosens eyes shook.

When on earth did

Thats right. She is truly a great sister.

It must have been right after she realized Ians scheme.

While no one else noticed.

She moved quietly as they left.

She must have gotten them all to leave.

Shes definitely not to be underestimated.

Currently, Ian is the closest heir to the throne.

But neither the First Princess nor the Third Prince could let their guard down.

Ian asked as if he remembered something.

Have you found the Third Prince?

Yes. In fact, a report about him just came in.

Fiosen whispered in Ians ear. After listening to his words for a moment, Ian smirked.

I thought he would be there.

Ian walked out slowly.

Now then, lets go. It seems like the saint has come to look for Haverion.

Yes. Prince Ian.

He was truly going to be busy in the days ahead.

The reward that King Eloin gave him was a troubling item, and he was also scheduled to be in charge of the upcoming negotiations with the saint of the Holy Empire.

The problem is dealing with the First Princess and the Third Prince.

He wasnt far from the throne, but the Third Princes disappearance was troubling.

But there was something more important than that.

About what Haverion said to him as he fell after being struck by the Hammer of Patience.

is still alive.

That was the reason.
