Episode 124: Kill the King
‘What is this-.’
Handsome was speechless at the naked sight.
Effort was a strong man. The fact that he was in charge of a large-scale operation proved that.
That kind of effort-.
‘You’re getting beaten up.’
Galahad swung his golden staff repeatedly at the fallen Efort. A series of bloody sounds erupted.
Effort writhed in protest, but it was no use. Galahad doggedly followed him, swinging his golden staff.
What was even scarier was that Galahad had no expression on his face even as he was being beaten mercilessly.
Just like it’s something that needs to be done-.
Handsome gaped at the sheer violence. Effort simply lay flat on his stomach and curled up into a ball.
The merciless violence continued for a long time, even with a certain rhythm.
“Surrender! Real surrender!”
Effort shouted in a gentle voice. Only then did the golden rod stop.
Galahad pushed back his messy bangs. His signature faint smile was there.
“As expected, you have good cooking skills.”
Handsome and James shuddered at Galahad’s light assessment.
Galahad pointed to Effort with his golden staff.
“Okay, you have two options. The first is to join the newly created Continental Intelligence Agency, and the second is-.”
“I’ll be the first.”
“You have a good feeling. I recommend the first one. The salary will be the same as before. However, you won’t be bothered with missions like the Intelligence Service.”
“Really?”
“I don’t lie.”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Galahad smiled, twirling his golden staff. Effort nodded with a serious face.
“A newly created information agency?”
“I made one.”
“Oh, congratulations.”
“Thank you. Congratulations on your new job too.”
Effort coughed harshly. His teeth chattered as he coughed. Effort’s face turned pale.
“Didn’t I tell you to bite this hard?”
Effort glanced at Galahad.
“Can I really not do the mission?”
“Yeah, ah, just guard the headquarters well. The rest is up to you.”
“It couldn’t be better.”
“I knew you’d answer like that. Well then, let’s go.”
Galahad adjusted his grip on the golden staff. Effort’s eyes widened at that.
“······Wasn’t it over?”
Galahad clicked his tongue lightly at Effort’s question.
“Don’t I know you? Aren’t you still lacking?”
“이 개새끼-.”
Effort swung his fist frantically, but the golden staff struck Effort’s face first.
“If you don’t want to eat just watery stew, bite this hard.”
Effort gritted his teeth at the kind advice.
Handsome and James exchanged silent glances.
‘Never mess with me.’
‘That’s obvious.’
The two pledged their loyalty.
It was a very strong commitment.
*
‘The retirement team is finished.’
Galahad shook his numb hands and put the tobacco in his mouth.
It was a little tricky, but not that hard. The Inspector General was the same guys Galahad had been catching when he was at the Intelligence Service.
The effort was a bit tricky, but in the end, that was it.
‘I guess I’ll have to take care of Damien’s education too.’
Since the two have similar personalities, it was clear that they would be of great help.
Effort was intended to be used as a security guard for the headquarters. Effort’s performance was certain.
There was no need to worry about running away. He was a man who had failed by leading forty agents. There was no need to explain how he would be treated by the director when he returned.
Effort was originally a person who was indifferent to missions. He had no choice but to accept the mission and move on.
There was nothing better for him than to just sit there and watch.
It was a persuasion that could be done knowing the bastard’s habits.
Persuasion was Galahad’s specialty.
“What is the situation at the intelligence agency?”
Galahad asked, shaking off the tobacco. Effort was sitting there, unsteadily.
“Wow, wow.”
“What are you saying?”

“It’s a mess.”
“Disorganized? You have really bad pronunciation.”
Effort’s face was completely wrinkled. His thin teeth were visible between his thick lips.
“That’s why I told you to bite it hard.”
As Galahad clicked his tongue, Effort’s face twitched. His muscles twitched. As Galahad grabbed the golden staff, Effort grinned.
‘After all, a club is the best medicine.’
Galahad clicked his tongue lightly. Handsome and James moved busily behind him.
Even though the effort was over, the remaining agents did not give up until the end.
The agents of the Inspector General were not men who could be persuaded. Galahad knew this, so he did not try to persuade them.
‘The effort is unique.’
Effort, whose eyes met mine, smiled even brighter. His teeth were missing here and there, making his smile quite innocent.
I’ve safely finished one of the things I had to do before the engagement ceremony. It was the easiest of the remaining two.
‘next······’
Galahad muttered, biting into his mouth a cigarette.
‘The Third Prince.’
The reason the Third Prince attended the engagement ceremony was clear.
‘To provoke the Alliance of Kingdoms.’
What the Third Prince wanted was war. He wanted to wage war against the Alliance of Kingdoms by any means necessary. It wouldn’t just be the Alliance of Kingdoms.
‘They’re probably aiming for the North too.’
Thanks to the magic stone, the value of the North has recently risen more than that of the Kingdom Alliance.
In this situation, if you give him two cheeses, the North and the Alliance of Kingdoms, which one would he choose?
‘I’ll choose the North.’
Galahad shook off the cigarette. The fresh scent of lemons pushed away the smell of blood.
There was only one thing Galahad wanted from him.
‘The Third Prince provokes the Grand Duke and the Alliance of Kingdoms at the same time.’
If the 3rd Prince made such a mistake, his position would be lowered. If he were given a finger and a ring, the 4th Prince could deal with the 3rd Prince.
The problem was that the Third Prince wasn’t the kind of fool who would do something like that. He had to be guided.
Galahad looked up. He saw a towering tower in the distance.
The bait has already been cast.
Galahad was confident that the bastard would bite.
The Third Prince’s patience was not deep. Since the provocation failed earlier, he would not wait until tomorrow.
Phiuuuuuung-.
Phew!
Colorful lights filled the sky.
“Finish it and go to headquarters.”
Galahad said lightly. Handsome and James nodded.
The nights were short and there was much to do.
In order to successfully complete the engagement ceremony, we had to move diligently.
Galahad shook out his clothes and walked away.
****
“Is this true?”
The third prince looked at the report in his hand and asked in a raised voice.
“Yes, this is information that just came up from the intelligence agency.”
“The Information Agency. Yes, you said there was a branch here too.”
“yes,”
The Third Prince snapped his fingers. He had certainly seen something strange on his way here. It was so crude that he thought it was just a strange tower.
‘It was an illegal tower.’
The third prince’s eyes shone coldly.
The original goal was to unite the kingdoms. However, the united kingdoms did not come to fruition. So, I was thinking of another method.
‘Here the Archduke shows his opening.’
The Archduke was no easy opponent. The agreement proved the Archduke’s power.
The pact meant that he was a man who posed a threat to the empire.
‘Is there such a windfall?’
The value of the North was increasing day by day. The North was more attractive than the confederation of kingdoms.
The fact that the illegal magic tower was located right in the Grand Duke’s castle had a significant meaning, since the magic tower was the one that the empire ruled most strictly.
but-.
‘It’s a little weak.’
The Third Prince’s eyes sparkled. The opportunity to wipe out these uncivilized bastards was right in front of him.
How can you tolerate this?
‘Oh, there’s that guy.’
There was another excuse. It was Galahad, who had been appointed by the Empire, and it was questionable how he had survived.
‘What if he dies before the engagement ceremony?’
This was the Grand Duke’s castle. It was easy to blame it on the Grand Duke. If you add an illegal magic tower to it-.
‘It’s neat.’
It was really neat. It was as if someone had prepared it for me.
The third prince’s eyes sank deeply.
But there was one problem.
“······He’s the one who built the illegal magic tower?”
“Yes, it was built by a man named Galahad.”
The third prince thought for a moment. Then he nodded.
‘I guess I should make it sound like the Archduke instigated Galahad to build the Magic Tower and then disposed of Galahad in order to monopolize it.’
It was clear that this would be enough.
The gist was simple.
‘Galahad must die.’
With Galahad dead, the rest could be easily decorated.
“Bring Galahad.”
The royal knights nodded.
Even if things went wrong, there wasn’t really a problem.
Because he was the third prince. To the supreme royal family, this was trivial.
“yes?”
The third prince looked down and laughed. There was a tied up prisoner trembling. The third prince put his sword into his neck.
The 3rd Prince felt alive as he rode the sword and felt his heart pounding.
The prince, who was enjoying the thrill, suddenly had a question.
‘Who cleaned it up? It’s so neat.’
The report that the intelligence agency submitted was quite clean.
At that moment, the imperial knights who were leaving the room suddenly stopped. The imperial knights suddenly stopped as if they had broken down and looked back at the third prince.
The third prince squinted his eyes at the suffocating sight. The moment he was about to feed more blood to the sword-.
“Could you step aside for a moment? I have some business to attend to. Oh, thank you.”
A familiar voice was heard.
The imperial knights retreated awkwardly. The third prince realized why the imperial knights had stopped when a figure appeared among them.
There is-.
“Ah, I guess you came just in time.”
Galahad was grinning. He looked like a mess. He was covered in scars. But he smiled and waved his hand leisurely.
“It’s fun.”
The corners of the third prince’s mouth twisted.
“I find this very interesting. Oh, can I sit down? Thank you.”
Even before the Third Prince could give his permission, the man sitting there already expressed his gratitude.
“Can I have a cup of tea? Something cold.”
He gestured to the royal knight standing behind him.
What a crazy guy who orders a royal knight to run a tea errand!
The third prince really liked the guy. The third prince nodded. The imperial knight, his face wrinkled, stepped back.
“Yeah, why did you come?”
The third prince’s voice was soft.
“Weren’t you looking for me? It would be nice if I came so we could save each other some time. I’m quite busy.”
Galahad answered, shaking off his collar. His face was filled with leisure. There must be something. The third prince nodded slightly.
“That’s right. I was looking for you. Do you know why I was looking for you?”
“I know. You probably don’t like blue, and you’re a member of the royal family, so you wouldn’t be able to learn manners from me. Wouldn’t you be after my neck?”
“You’re smart. That’s right, I need your neck.”
“I have only one, so I can’t give it to you. I’ll politely decline.”
The Third Prince laughed loudly. The royal knights were surprised.
At that moment, the 3rd Prince’s laughter suddenly stopped. His eyes sparkled.
“Do you think I need permission?”
The Third Prince aimed his sword at Galahad. The Third Prince’s sword was red from the hilt to the blade.
“is it?”
Galahad laughed lightly. The third prince tilted his head at him.
“Is there any reason why I can’t kill you?”
“Isn’t it boring if you just talk? Use your head.”
The Third Prince’s eyes widened at the insult he had heard for the first time in his life. It was amazing. Who knew there was such a crazy person.
“Did you have a hole in your head?”
“I’m sorry, but it’s just too normal. No, it’s actually too good, which is the problem. I can’t stop thinking about it.”
The Third Prince squinted his eyes. Was he just a weirdo?
“Well, first, let me explain why you want to kill me. It’s probably to give the Empire a pretext for war with the North. Is that right?”
The third prince nodded quietly.
“Do you think you can start a war by killing me? My life is quite precious, but it would be insufficient for such a purpose.”
“There are also illegal magic towers.”
“Yes, an illegal tower! It’s a very serious crime. But is it really an illegal tower?”
It was an unexpected question. The Third Prince’s eyes crinkled.
“There are no licensed towers in the North. That’s a strange thing to say.”
“Where do I get permission to go to the Magic Tower?”
“Get off the council.”
“Yeah, did you ask Congress?”
The third prince could not answer Galahad’s question. He had just heard the story. When would he have time to ask?
“Don’t say stupid things like it’s an illegal tower because you’ve never heard of it.”
The third prince chuckled.
“So it’s not an illegal tower?”
“What do you think?”
“He just seems like a guy struggling to survive.”
The third prince pushed the sword lightly. The sword lightly stabbed the bastard’s neck. Red blood dripped down the blade.
Having a sword pointed at one’s neck was a tremendous burden. Needless to say, it was even more so when the one holding the sword was the Third Prince.
But the guy didn’t show even the slightest change in expression. He just clicked his tongue.
“If he was desperate to survive, would he come here? He must have hidden behind the Archduke. It’s quite comfortable.”
It was a fairly plausible story. The Third Prince’s eyes narrowed.
“so?”
“Don’t look at the trees, look at the forest. Even if I die right now, there won’t be a war. The same goes for the illegal tower. It’s just a means to further pressure the North.”
Instead of answering, the third prince pushed his sword in further. Red blood dripped out.
The Third Prince’s black sword was called the Thorn of Pain. Even if it was just slightly pricked, the pain would be immense, but the bastard was raising the corners of his mouth.
He was a real madman.
“so-.”
“So this is the button.”
I don’t know what Gilbutton means, but the tone of it was quite unpleasant. At that moment, the 3rd Prince’s eyes were about to crinkle-.
“If you’re going to do it, do it right. To the point where it’s certain that a war will break out.”
He said something unexpected.
“how?”
Galahad’s smile deepened. It seemed quite dangerous.
“Why is the Empire defensive? Because the North and the Alliance of Kingdoms exist at the same time. If one of them had disappeared, the other would have been eaten long ago.”
That was true. The Imperial Council was defensive because the North and the Alliance of Kingdoms were still intact.
“so?”
“It will completely destroy the relationship between the North and the United Kingdoms.”
If the two become estranged and a war breaks out-.
‘The National Assembly will also move.’
The third prince’s eyes widened.
but-.
“how?”
“I guess I have to feed them all these things.”
The bastard sighed openly. If it had been any other time, even an imperial knight would have lost his head.
But the Third Prince didn’t swing his sword. He wasn’t even angry. Instead, his heart was pounding. He was looking forward to what that crazy guy would say.
“It’s simple. Kill the King of the Alliance of Kingdoms right now.”
Galahad’s words were simple. The third prince frowned. Just kill the king.
“And then you will harass the Archduke. So that he cannot stand it. Then he will pull out the heads of all the Imperial Knights. Except for you. It is a treaty.”
The third prince nodded again. That was correct.
therefore-.
“Kill them all and let me live so that I can spread the word that it was the Grand Duke’s doing?”
“That is correct.”
The Third Prince’s eyebrows hardened at Galahad’s light nod.
Kill all the Kingdom Alliance forces, and pick a fight with the Archduke to deal with his forces as well.
It was a pretty blatant and red plan.
therefore-.
“I like it.”
It was a plan that was just to the Third Prince’s liking. To the point where the previous plans seemed like trash.
Galahad raised the corners of his mouth as if he had expected that.
“Ah, the Grand Duke might notice, so divide your forces. After all, the level of knights of the Kingdom Alliance is beyond words, right? Even if you send just one or two imperial knights, it will be enough to cut off the old king’s head.”
Galahad said with a cool smile.
“I like you.”
I really liked it. I felt bad about having to deal with it later.
“Sorry, but I have a woman to marry. Oh, is the car still far away?”
The third prince laughed heartily at the urging.
The imperial knight, with a look of displeasure on his face, offered Galahad a cup of tea. It was quite amusing for an imperial knight to pour the tea himself.
Then Galahad-.
“Oh, it’s cold.”
I just overturned the teacup.
On the crumpled face of the imperial knight-.
The third prince laughed, holding his stomach.
****
“Please, just stay still.”
“It’s stuffy.”
“Why are you complaining all of a sudden?”
“Because it’s stuffy. Pumpkin, you’re small, so it’s not stuffy.”
“What is small!!!”
“No, why are you suddenly making noise······.”
The King of the United Kingdoms, Farhansta, frowned at the knights who kept muttering.
I was skeptical that those idiots were right, but that was Kerkek’s words.
It was Kerkek, who had wisdom like a star. Kerkek had clearly arranged it for Farhansta.
‘Kerkek-.’
Parhansta muttered the name of the savage and felt peace like the prairie.
“It smells weird······. Pumpkin, did you fart?”
“Stop being a jerk. Seriously.”
······I felt a profound peace.
