Grand Duke of the Heibern House

＜Chapter 75＞

‘grandee… … Yeah, it was around this time.’

He already knew that the head of the High Rencia family would become the grand duke.

But I don’t know the exact time.

My previous life, that is to say, the time I ran out of the Heibern family was after twenty years had passed since the present time.

‘Now everything is changing rapidly.’

Around the time when Hirencia family was reborn as Grand Duchess, the situation in Lemadel Kingdom fell into a whirlwind of chaos.

According to history, it won’t be long before the 1st prince, Arahon, will be charged with all sorts of abuses.

In the end, the king of Lemadel broke the old tradition and overthrew the first prince, and installed the sixth prince, Kettus, as the crown prince.

The starting point of all ruin.

No one now knows how much of a monster the first prince, Arahon, will return.

‘Are you doing well… … .’

Seeds have already been sown.

There was a high probability that the 6th prince Kettus and his supporters had a close relationship with Hirenciaga in some form.

If he was doing well, by now Arahon would be fighting relentlessly with Hirenciaga.

If Arahon listened to his advice and overcame the conspiracy against him without fail, history could have changed.

‘But I have to make sure.’

Arahon had to be prevented from becoming the ‘Brigade Commander of the Evil Emperor’ again.

Since he would be not far away, Ruin thought of meeting him again if the opportunity came along.

Ruin, who was carefully organizing his thoughts, recalled Shiron’s words.

‘It’s not bad.’

The right to explore the ruins left by the first wizard, Theamaras.

In addition, Hirencia family’s tacit support.

The winner’s benefits were good enough.

First of all, being sponsored by the Hirencia family means that you can observe their trends and intentions at close range.

The problem was the ruins of Teamaras.

He is a divine being in the world of white magic.

If the remains of such a tremendous person remained, it would be absurd that the former self did not know about them.

If the remains of Theamaras disappeared from the world due to some problem, there was a need to investigate the reason.

In my previous life, at this time, I was in a state where I was bedridden in my family.

Therefore, about the history that is happening now, all I heard from my colleagues or came into contact with historical materials, that is, through printing.

First, they had to gather information about the ruins of Teamaras.

“What remains of the ruins of Teamaras?”

Shiron’s eyes quickly burned with longing.

“I don’t know the details. However, all the mages who succeeded in surviving in the ruins grew into archmages.”

“Surviving? Does that mean it’s not just a ruin?”

“I heard that the inside of the ruins is full of dangerous traps. In the past, an entire Royal Knights had been wiped out.”

“The Royal Knights… … ?”

Even Ruin, who seldom expresses emotion, was surprised.

Lemadel is a knight-oriented country.

The Royal Knights of Lemadel were a group with the highest level of military force on the continent, recognized even by the knights of the Arkan Empire.

Ruin did not understand that the Royal Knights were wiped out while exploring the ruins.

“If it’s such a dangerous place, it would be impossible to explore at the level of an academy cadet, right?”

“Of course, I get royal support. The knights of the Royal Knights, as well as the magicians and high-ranking wizards of the Mage Tower accompany them.”

That meant that even the Lemadel Kingdom would have to suffer a great deal of blood loss.

If life in the ruins becomes unclear.

It would result in the loss of the Kingdom’s knights, the Mage Tower’s high-ranking wizards, and its outstanding cadets at the same time.

Even so, it must be because of the destructive power of a single archmage that he dared to take such a gamble.

From nob le mt l. co m

For a country to have a sage-level archmage meant more than just military power.

It is a challenging investment for future value.

“Are you saying you guys don’t mind gambling with your life?”

Ruin’s eyes were scanning the cadets.

Basically, wizards are a group that hates probabilities.

It was not easy for Ruin to understand that the winning Magic Cadet’s wish was such a gamble.

“What are you talking about?”

“hmm?”

Lyria’s eyes were filled with intense light.

“If that gamble succeeds, what we can face is the great magic that Lord Theamaras left behind. Most wizards would not waste their lives if they could master such a lofty magic.”

Ruin was able to realistically feel what Teamaras meant to these white mages.

It’s not a clichéd analogy, but he is truly an existence that is tantamount to a god to the white magicians.

“What if I don’t want to participate in the martial arts competition?”

Shiron bit his teeth with his intense eyes shining.

“I will persuade you day and night! You can never just watch the martial arts competition that comes back every four years!”

“Isn’t there one more chance before graduation?”

The no-rank cadets this time are blessed jockeys to experience the martial arts competition twice during their cadet days.

“I know yeah! Our jockeys are given two chances! Everyone must challenge!”

Severon, who had been silently watching, finally opened his mouth.

“Syron. Advanced players would have formed a team and prepared for the sum for at least a year or more. It’s only three months until the martial arts competition. You have to think realistically.”

Chiron looked at Ruin and Daphne alternately.

“Ruin dispelled the trap magic of Head of Hedeian! Daphne, the disciple of the wise! Besides, this theory! That’s enough to make it worth trying to win!”

Shurie’s dispirited reply followed.

“thank god. That my name is not among them. I don’t want to recklessly fight those terrifying senior cadets. I will leave.”

“what?”

Sudden declaration of absence from Shurie.

If so, the group exhibition was possible only when all the remaining members expressed their intention to participate.

Because the team event consists of 5 people.

Soon, Shiron’s ominous gaze turned to Lyria.

“Are you falling for it too?”

Even though they didn’t look good on the outside, Lilia and Shurie stuck together throughout the semester.

If Lyria had the same meaning, this martial arts tournament would have been over.

Lyria’s cold gaze led to Ruin.

“I will listen to that guy’s answer first.”

After turning around, everyone’s eyes gathered on Ruin.

Ruin’s lips twisted politely.

“There are three conditions.”

“condition?”

If he had to be with these kids, Ruin was thinking of forcing his own way thoroughly.

“First, take out all the money.”

Shiron laughed.

“Isn’t that normal?”

Ruin’s gaze was fixed on Lilia and did not waver.

Unlike Shiron, who enjoys standing out, until now, she has thoroughly hidden half of her state.

Lillia asked, reading it all over again.

“Why should I?”

If you take out all the money, the school you pursue will be revealed.

If it is revealed that he follows the Buoric School from the rank of cadet, he will face numerous prejudices and persecution in the future.

It was Lyria’s feelings that she wanted to hide as much as possible until she entered the Magic Tower.

Living as a wizard of the Buoric School in Lemadel, a kingdom belonging to the Northern School, was as difficult as that.

“How much can you trust, how much can you endure, can you trust each other without knowing anything?”

Lyria was silent.

But her defiant gaze did not die.

“Funny. you? The most puzzling mage among them is you. What kind of thing is that on the subject of not revealing the base from the person himself… … .”

“If you promise, I’ll reveal everything.”

“uh… … ?”

The battle is virtuous.

It’s a disgrace to not trust your comrades standing back to back against enemies.

In this respect, Ruin had always maintained a consistent attitude since his previous life.

“… … .”

Although she was fully aware of how dangerous it was to expose the Buoric School, Lilia was shaken by Ruin’s intense gaze.

“I promise.”

When Daphne smiled, Chiron nodded vigorously.

“Me too!”

Severon also sighed.

“Huh, I know. I promise.”

As everyone’s eyes gathered on Lilia, she too bit her lips and opened her mouth as if to speak.

“… … I promise.”

“Lyria!”

Shurie was frantically shaking her head, but Lilia did not break her promise.

“What is the second condition?”

Ruin answers Shiron’s question without hesitation.

“I will exercise all full power in the battle.”

“I, is it full power?”

Ruin looked at Severon.

“It is literally. Everything about training, as well as all the strategies and instructions that happen during the great magic battle. If these are not preceded, I have no intention of participating.”

“No that!”

Shiron’s face was distorted, showing displeasure.

Usually, when a team becomes famous, the leader of that team gets a nickname.

A condition that was difficult for Chiron, who wanted to be the main character of this party, to accept.

However, since Daphne and Lyria would not participate if Ruin did not participate, he had no other choice.

“Damn it, you were a helpless cadet too.”

I always pretended to transcend my desires, but now that I see it, isn’t it a dark inside?

At Shiron’s dissatisfied reaction, Ruin laughed as if he was having fun.

This time, Daphne was the first to respond to Ruin’s request.

“I will follow Ruin. Rather, did I want to ask first?”

Daphne is the core of power that is more important than anyone else.

In the end, Shiron had no choice but to agree.

“damn. I get it.”

“Well then I… … .”

“What about your next request? What is the third?”

Lyria Day line question.

This time, Ruin had no choice but to notice his motives a little.

“You guys are allowing me to participate in the individual exhibition on the condition that I never harm the team’s strength.”

“Individual exhibition?”

“Me, crazy!”

A magic cadet participating in a personal tournament!

Occasionally, there were magic cadets who participated in individual exhibitions because they wanted attention.

However, most of them end up suffering the painful agony of being eliminated in the first round.

The solo exhibition is definitely a festival for knight cadets.

There was no room for a magic cadet there.

“Why? Why are you doing such a reckless thing? Unless you enjoy shame and defeat… … .”

“It is insurance. If the team doesn’t win, you have to win alone.”

“what?”

As long as Ruin set a goal in his heart, he wasn’t the type to be careless.

There must have been a history flowing in the Ruins of Teamaras that he did not know about.

It was kind of awkward.

The Evil Emperor had long spent time and resources sapping the power of the human faction, and came out when he decided the work was ripe.

In the past, if the ruins of Teamaras were destroyed by such an evil beast, it must be stopped.

“Well, since we’ll be eliminated in the first round anyway, there won’t be any disruption to the team’s strength.”

Everyone nodded their heads as if agreeing with Severon’s words.

“I do not care.”

“me too.”

“I guess so.”

Then, Ruin got up from his seat.

“Then it’s time to face each other’s capital.”

“huh?”

“Didn’t you decide to leave everything to me for training?”

Ruin looked down at Shiron.

“Syron. Recruit the Great Magic Battlefield.”

“Go, suddenly?”

“A place where you can train as unobtrusively as possible. No, it would be nice to be somewhere where no one notices.”

Shiron got up and asked.

“What are you trying to do?”

Ruin’s white teeth gleamed evenly.

“All of you are fighting against me.”

At that moment, everyone’s eyes widened.
