Chapter 92.1
The Blue…
Among the five great faiths, along with the White, the one that values honesty and despises injustice the most.
If the White values peace, then the Blue, especially those who uphold chivalry, will never attack an unarmed opponent even with a sword at their throat.
No matter how much they are magicians, they know all too well how crazy these bastards of the Blue are about chivalry…
Yes… They certainly love children and stand for the weak…
“You bastards! Can’t you hear me! Are you okay with this kid’s neck getting cut off? Huh?!”
What’s this.
Why is the Blue priest threatening to cut a child’s throat?!
Rather than discussing the Blue, shouldn’t they first question if he’s even a proper priest?!
His actions were like those of a demon…
“That’s not the problem! Why is he over there!”
No matter how many times I looked, it was Hiberius, the youngest prince of the Magic Empire.
And the problem was this Hiberius.
He was being threatened with his life by a sword from a priest?
Then at the very least, he should try to escape, but why wasn’t he using magic and instead being captured by some mere priest?
‘He’s not even a paladin, so there’s no way the prince can’t subdue a single priest.’
Despite his young age, he was someone who could bring multiple grown men to their knees alone.
In other words…
‘They must have found some kind of weakness!’
The magicians’ eyes changed.
Especially Carlos, the magician who had met Isaac, was a man acquainted with the prince.
A situation where the prince can’t unable to subdue a single priest? This must be an emergency situation.
‘We need to help him.’
Following Carlos’s signal, the magicians in the back stealthily disappeared using concealment magic.
High-ranking priests do possess attack power and detection abilities on par with magicians, but at best these priests were mere apprentices.
The concealment magic of a 6th rank magician would be enough.
As expected, the magicians who had stealthily moved immediately reached the prince’s side.
Even if the opponents were just apprentices, the Blue faith dealing with demons would have developed detection abilities. They carefully hid in the bushes while under concealment.
And with a voice audible only to those with magical power, they hurriedly called out to the prince.
“…Your Highness! Over here! Take our hands!”
Desperate hands reached out towards the prince. If he just grabbed their hands, they could teleport the prince somewhere else.
“Your Highness the Prince!”
However, the little prince who heard their voices clung to Isaac like a baby monkey. He even wrapped his legs around him like a koala bear.
And then he said…
“You idiots! You can’t even save one prince! Are you really the great magicians of the great Empire!”
Your Highness?!!
The startled concealed magicians frantically waved their outstretched hands.
“Here! We’re right here!”
“So please take our hands!!”
But the prince who saw the concealed magicians clung even tighter to Isaac. No, he not only clung to Isaac like a leech, but also swatted away the approaching concealed magicians.
Slap! Slap!
And then…
“You idiiiiooooots!!!!!! Hurry up and save me! Fools!”
No! Your Highnesssss!
This is driving me crazy!
The magicians collectively fell into a state of confusion.
…What in the world is this situation?
However, Isaac, who couldn’t have missed their conversation, gave a wry smile.
“Now, since you understand, leave the magic cores behind and retreat!”
“You idioooot!! Aren’t you going to retreat?!”
“…”
…Damn, I see. The prince has clearly fallen for this guy.
They didn’t know why he was enamored with some mere priest, but there was nothing to be done about it.
‘He is the future of our Empire.’
An unparalleled genius capable of handling the Holy Empire’s imperial family that controls the Sacred Dragon.
The strongest wizard, who can cut off the head of Shavliss, the greatest swordsman and Crown Prince who would become the next Emperor.
“I understand. I will follow what you say. I will give you everything I have, so please release the prince.”
They reluctantly placed their belongings and weapons on the ground. The loot that Isaac’s eyes gleamed at told of its immense value.
“We’ll properly inform the Empire that you tried to attack us.”
At those words, Carlos flinched.
No, if mishandled, this could become a diplomatic issue.
He had to correct the misunderstanding.
“There seems to be some misunderstanding. We were simply hunting demons…”
Swish.
Isaac brought his sword back to the prince’s neck.
“Hunting demons, huh. Then why are you carrying weapons meant to kill priests?”
…But you’re allowed to carry them?
“Don’t try to weasel out. You can just take the corpse. We’ll say, ‘We thought he was one of the magicians who attacked us.'”
Carlos, the commander of the Magic Empire’s magicians, gritted his teeth.
…Damn brat!
