4 Estio
- Episode 10
A traitor, that is, one who betrayed the emperor.
One of the three people Estio had to sort out was that Count of Nmidion. Moobin believed that Estio would read it very well, and deliberately continued the useless conversation to pass the time.
"By the way, didn't you get a separate name for it?"
"It's a shame that it is."
"Why?"
Due to the direct questioning of the move, Count Endymion chose the words for a moment with an embarrassed look.
"Uh, well, the family situation is a little bit."
he was a scribe
As a child born to a maid whose father is not the headquarters, Lizzie Endymion does not receive a full name even if he goes to the Holy See.
Born as a nobleman, he was not discriminated against, but the only right he was deprived of was his true name. The Holy See did not recognize children outside of wedlock.
And this story was also a very shameful truth for Count Endymion.
'You really are a blunt person to the wounds of others.'
Estio, who stood behind one foot with the guild members and watched quietly, swallowed a sigh inwardly. When I first met Moobin, I thought it was because I was crazy because of the people in my hometown, but now that I look at it, I know for sure.
Moobin R. Heiga was very indifferent to the affairs of others. He pierced the dagger without consideration, and he did not even think that this question would really hurt the opponent.
Count Endymion, who saw him talking to Mubin for the first time, was very confused. He has never been the one to ask directly about the birth problem that has followed him like a shadow since he was a child, even though he was gossiping behind the scenes. He smiled as if it was nothing on the outside, but his eyes trembled slightly.
'More conversations are just meaningless attacks.'
If you go on like this, you'll end up brooding over the wounds of the person you care about for nothing. With that in mind, Estio was about to use his thoughts to dry the movie.
"For some reason, my sister's palace, which was always quiet, was revitalized. Did you have a special guest?"
"......!"
A young boy's voice interrupted. Even Moobin, who had a gloomy expression on his face the whole time, turned his head in surprise.
"I see your Majesty the Fifth Prince. This is Moobin R. Heiga."
"Nice to meet you, hey ball."
Girsch I. Luvarjan Archidion.
He was a 14-year-old boy born as the fifth prince and younger brother of Princess Marisa.
Her hair trimmed short was dazzling silver hair that symbolized the royal family, but unlike my sister, she had red eyes, not gold eyes. Those blood-dark red eyes were cool enough to make you forget your childhood.
In addition to his youthful appearance, even his expression was the opposite of Kai, who smiled all the time.
An embarrassment flashed over Mubin's eyes, who had never expected that the 5th Prince would be present at the banquet hall.
'Somehow, the princess shouted loudly that she would make a seat proudly!'
Even Count Endymion said so.
However, it was not just a coincidence that the second important figure Estio had to read, the 5th Prince Girsh, appeared in the same banquet hall on the same day. The imperial family does not necessarily participate in the birthday banquet. Because it is not a banquet, but a separate meeting among themselves.
It must have been that the princess had invited him on purpose.
'This is it, isn't the Duke of Delphia here too?'
I just had that kind of doubt.
The Delphi Territory is farther from the capital than the Heyga estate. It was impossible for the two dukes to come together except on the emperor's birthday.
Contrary to Mubin's suspicions, fortunately or unfortunately, the Duke of Delphi did not attend the banquet.
"Oh, Girsh!"
Princess Marisa, who was surrounded by other noble ladies, approached her sister with a bright smile on her face.
"sister."
The stiff expression of the 5th Prince was finally released like a child.
"When you come, you should say hello. You almost didn't even know you were here, did you?"
"I'm sorry. Of course I should have gone to my sister first."
The brothers and sisters seemed to get along well, as rumored.
In the imperial family, even brothers treat each other with two or three layers of packaging. The same was true of the servants who visited the palace with sweet praise. In the end, Prince Girshu said that he grew up relying solely on his sister in the cold imperial palace where everyone was restrained in order to gain power.
"......"
Princess Marisa would have done the same until she discovered the unfortunate secret that lurked in it.
Estio turned his gaze away from the brightly smiling siblings. She didn't have to read more. The imperial palace they lived in was a world packed as well as the candles burning on the chandelier and the sweet melody.

Chapter 15 Struggle
In fact, this is not the first time the 5th Prince Girsh has attended his sister Marisa's birthday party.
Girsh was always with Marisa until he was ten years old. When he was just ten years old, he stopped attending as he began to acquire the manners and authority to be observed as an imperial family.
This is because it is a tradition for the royal family to have a separate celebration with their families, rather than show their faces at each banquet. All of the emperor's bloodline has a supreme dignity, so he doesn't respond to events called by others. reign instead.
There was no place in the Rubarzan Empire that the royal family was not invited to, so it meant that they would choose a place to attend.
So Marisa was very happy to see her sister, who accepted the invitation without succumbing to tradition and surroundings.
It was a rare sight without a strong friendship, so there was warmth inside the banquet hall.
As the elegant music began to play, Marisa naturally spoke to Girsh.
"How are you today?"
"I'm relearning a lot of things I've missed out on, my sister."
"Study? Whoops, you're mature. You must be very busy, so is it okay if I make time for this?"
Marisa just loved her 14-year-old sister's serious tone. She looked like she wanted to stroke her hair if she hadn't been at the party.
Then Girsh retorted with a slight frown on the bridge of his nose.
"If it's the blood of a monarch, that's what you should do."
It was a meaningful story.
The Crown Prince of Lubarzan had already been decided. His 5th prince, Gir Shu, was already fourteen years old, so the brothers born before him were even older.
Among them, the first prince died of an illness before the Crown Prince was crowned.
Therefore, the one who inherited the yellow dragon chain is not the first, but the second prince, 'Luce'.
The tone of the 5th Prince who dared to talk about the monarch in a situation where the emperor's successor had already been decided was a little dangerous.
"Oh my goodness."
As if surprised, the princess covered her mouth and cried as she approached her sister.
"You're speaking hard again. My little brother grew up and lost his cuteness."
Then Girsch laughed out loud like a boy his age. She had a bright face that only appeared in front of her sister.
"I'll get back to you, sister."
"already?"
"As I said, I'm very busy these days. I came today to give myself a present."
Girsh gently squeezed something into Marisa's hand. It was a luxurious pendant with a gold frame wrapped around a red gemstone.
"A divine artifact. It has the power to heal wounds."
Artifacts that were not magic and possessed divine power were extremely rare. Marisa hung her pendant around her neck on the spot. The jewels that sparkled like stars were very pretty.
"Thank you. I'll take good care of it."
"Yes, but."
Girsh turned his head with a fiercely wary look. At the end of their gaze, there were Ignis guild members standing quietly like shadows in a corner of the banquet hall.
"Are those black dogs in return from my sister?"
twitch.
It was a small reaction that was barely noticeable, but Girsh recognized her trembling like a sword and continued.
"It's fine. I knew my sister was going to test me."
'Did you know that you came here?'
Marisa narrowed her eyes.
The younger brother Girsh she knew was a smart kid. As soon as the thought that she might have already noticed the reason for calling the Ignis guild members passed through her mind, Gir Shu whispered again.
"Because I showed you openly, promise me one thing in return. Your sister must be on my side."
"...Girsch."
"Okay? You can't leave me."
It was a voice that was mournful. Red eyes fluttering like a young beast clinging to its mother captured Marisa and did not let her go. The 5th Prince quickly captured his expression. After she put on her carefree face as if nothing had happened, she turned around and left the party.
Just before going out, our eyes met with Estio, who was standing by the door.
'Don't disturb me. Interfere.'
A strong thought immediately flowed into Estio's head as if to read it openly.
'I will destroy the guild.'
It was a childish yet cruel threat like a young boy.
'Are you a mind-reading person? Don't go out and stay calm. Then I will reward you to protect Ignis from threatening enemies.'
In a seemingly brief glance, a message that had no substance flew towards Estio like a flock of crows.
Girsh passed him without any regrets.
'Who will be the new emperor of Lubarjan.'
Choose well.
* * *
"He was a really bad kid."
Even after washing his eyes, he could not find any courtesy towards the imperial family. Her annoyed grunt Moobin took off her ribbon tie, which had been unnecessarily tight around her neck, wrapped it around her fingers and twirled it. The tie, embroidered with every ripple in her fine fabric, fluttered at the tip of her finger as if it were about to fly away.
Moobin said he was very unlucky for the 5th prince he saw properly for the first time today.
Estio, who was secretly threatened, was quiet, but Mubin got angry alone.
"...a filthy resemblance. Damn it."
In Mubin's mind as he muttered like that, the face of the 5th Prince Girshu vividly came to mind. To her Mubin, it was a damn good fit, her appearance was exactly like her emperor from her head to her toes. She even had the same characteristic that she had red eyes instead of gold eyes. She acted as if nothing happened to her on the spot, but the moment she saw Gir Shu, he was the one who captured her mood.
So, Moobin took the party and returned to the glass garden one step ahead of the princess before the party was over. She met two of the three of her three who were the target of the commission, so she had no reason to stay any longer.
They spend time together in the greenhouse where Neju and Ahur wait until Princess Marisa returns.
"You seem to have a good relationship with the Princess, though? They even bring you gifts. I'm glad to see that the next generation will be at peace, seeing so much brotherly love."
Unlike Moobin, who frowned, Parker laughed heartily. Then, she refuted Moobin's sincerity.
"Peace? What a stupid thing to say."
