Chapter 193 – Chapter 40: To the North #2

“So, why is there a bite?”

“Slightly, just slightly.”

In-gong avoided Carack’s gaze and raised his finger. There was a clean lycanthrope bite on it.

Although In-gong had agreed, his flesh was too hard for Caitlin at first. In-gong already had a durability figure which was over 100 points, so his skin was incomparable to Villager A.

Carack looked at In-gong’s wound with a surprised face and laughed.

“You must have been surprised.

In-gong had been bitten suddenly. However, he just shook his head.

“I think Caitlin noona was even more surprised. She did it unconsciously while struggling.”

Her expression while it happened had been really cute. The way Caitlin bit In-gong accidentally and was even more startled than he was… It reminded him of a puppy from his childhood.

‘It is really the same.’

Caitlin was pretty cute. In-gong continued thinking that word. Then Carack narrowed his eyes and said with a serious voice,

“Prince, don’t you think it is more dangerous if you keep thinking that?”

“I-Is that so?”

The boat might have already sailed. It sounded like a joke, but unconsciously, it didn’t really seem like one.

“Sniff, sniff. By the way, Prince’s smell seems to have weakened?”

Even though he was pretty close, the smell was thin and delicate. If the person smelling it wasn’t within a really close distance or concentrating like Carack was now, it would be hard to know that the scent originated from In-gong. This hadn’t been the case a few days ago. Previously, just by going near him, one would smell like a flower garden.

In-gong answered with a smile,

“I’m controlling it.”

“That scent… it was the aroma from your body?”

“Yes.”

“And now, you’re controlling it?”

“That’s right.”

In-gong himself was surprised. Perhaps this fragrance was the result of the skill ‘ Heavenly Wine’. Although the gandharva smelt good, In-gong’s scent was on a serious level.

‘Plus, there is more.’

Thanks to the unidentified skill effect of Pheromones, his scent was able to be buried somewhat in the pheromones. It could be used to excite or calm a person.

‘Anyway, I don’t have to worry about being eaten now.’

In-gong nodded with satisfaction, but Carack was still looking at him like something was strange.

“Well, that is a good thing. As 6th Princess would say, you are still a prince.”

“Yes, so let’s move on.”

In-gong was already very different from ordinary gandharva. He had a ‘Protagonist Correction’, separate from other gandharva.

“Then Prince, do you know why something this big happened?”

Carack’s expression changed as he turned to a new topic. It was a very important story, so In-gong’s expression became serious as well.

“Just before the specter of the fairy king appeared, I saw a blue aura coming from the fairy king’s tomb.”

“Is it like what we saw at Thunderdoom Fortress?”

Their memories of that time were intense because it had been a desperate crisis. In-gong nodded.

“Yes, this might be related to that power.

Carack had accompanied In-gong and encountered the energy of Death. He didn’t know what a Death Knight was, but he knew that the strong energy of Death was blue.

“Hmm, then isn’t there something strange?”

“What?”

“If the power of Death was used specifically to resurrect the fairy king… why now?”

Carack scratched his chin and tilted his head to the side. In-gong couldn’t understand the question.

“What… does that mean?”

“Well, I mean, why? Yesterday, the power of the fog in Sky Forest was normal for Sky Forest. If they wanted to target Sky Forest, wouldn’t it be better when the princes, princesses and 3rd Queen wasn’t present? Or at least wait until the princes and princesses have left. I would have done it like that.”

It was a reasonable opinion. If their purpose was to destroy Sky Forest or to use the specter of the fairy king, then doing it yesterday had been a really poor choice.

“Well, that might not be the only variable involved. It might not be possible to resurrect the fairy king any time they wanted.”

It was the ghost of the first fairy king, so resurrecting him wouldn’t be an easy task.

‘Moreover, he is stronger compared to the version of him in Knight Saga.’

In Knight Saga, the first fairy king didn’t use the magic fog of Sky Forest. However, yesterday’s fairy king could only be described as a demonic god.

‘Master, the talking raccoon has come.’

In-gong heard Green Wind’s voice while he was thinking. Green Wind was still exhausted from yesterday, so she wasn’t in her semi-solid state.

‘Are you in pain?’

‘I’m okay, Master. I am just saving my strength. I’ll be okay soon.’

As he exchanged words with Green Wind, the door opened. Just as Green Wind said, Amita showed up with Daphne and Karma behind them.

“Is your body okay? You aren’t hurt anywhere?”

In-gong expressed his concern for Amita. Daphne laughed softly.

“I have heard about Prince’s performance. Thank you, Your Highness. You saved everyone.”

Daphne and Karma greeted him politely. In-gong’s heart warmed at their words.

“I’m glad that Daphne and Karma are safe. Amita as well.”

He was truly relieved to see that all three of them were safe. Then Amita came up to the bed and said,

“Hum, hum. Prince, there is something I want to talk about.”
