Chapter 24 (1/2)
Chapter 24 – Yesterday’s Enemy (3)
In his past life, the hero had been born within the Diaz Kingdoht into the palaceThis was the biggest mistake that had occurred in the past hero’s life
The palace followed a Hero Support Manual that was created several hundred years agoWhile she was reared with the ut this timeHe was none other than this country’s crown prince Silpennon Le DiazHe was a thief
‘Of course, it isn’t my business as to why Silpennon had turned down his seat as the crown prince to join the hero’s party…No, I get it now’
It was true that Silpennon was directing his words towards Artpe, but his eyes remained planted on MaetelHis cheeks were redIt seeht
It was understandableIn her past life, Maetel could have easily ruined couple kingdoht now, but her budding beauty could be seen even nowThis hy it wasn’t far-fetched to think that the crown prince had fallen for her
Still, Silpennon had witnessed Maetel shed blood with his two eyesIt was a bit baffling that he was able to show such pure ardor towards her
“I don’t want your answerI want to hear it froirl!”
Silpennon browbeat Artpe as he turned his intense gaze towards MaetelArtpe shrugged his shoulders, and he lightly tapped Maetel’s shoulder
“…if you put it that way, I have no choiceYou do whatever you want, Maetel”
“Huh?”
Maetel’s tears hadn’t stopped yet, but she was released from Artpe’s embraceShe faced the crown princeThe crown prince looked on with pity when he saw her puffy eyes
“You poor thing…You are a child with a very tender heartHowever, you don’t have to be worriedThe people you killed right now are rebelsThey are traitors to this country, so you don’t have to be wounded by their deaths…”
“I hate the palace!I’!”
Silpennon’s atte her failed miserablyMaetel cut him off as she rejected himShe returned to the arms of ArtpeShe was as resolute as Artpe
“What the…”
Silpennon was turned down in no uncertain ter Silpennon inadvertently started breaking out in laughterThe other knights reigned him in
Silpennon cahterHe had never been turned down so fir hit, and he started talking incoherently
“W…why not…I pros!If you help me, I…Y…yesWhat is your name?Which family are you from?If you have to travel around with such a terrible servant, it seems to indicates that you are unfortunately not from a suitable familyHowever, e return to the palace, I’ll use all the power at my disposal to elevate you to a suitable position…”
“…did you just insult Artpe right now?”
She didn’t like so Silpennon had saidMaetel relare at SilpennonSilpennon realized he had stepped on a mine, so his face turned pale
“AhI…I didn’t mean it like that…”
“I just told you!Artpe isn’t terrible, and he isn’t my servant!”
“H…he isn’t your servant!?”
“You are really terrible!”
It really was a sight that couldn’t be seen without shedding so such thoughtsThe feht, who had initiated a conversation with Artpe, carefully spoke to Silpennon
“Your highnessUnfortunately, weusThey have already saved your highness’ life onceYou should be thankful, yet you are trying to detain the of your station, your highnessYou possess the great bloodline of Diaz”
“Koo-oohk…So I have no choice, but to let the girl go!”
“Your highness…”
They were playing their parts wellThey continued to act as if they were still in charge of a kingdomIf so, they could do as they wished by themselves
“She doesn’t want to do itAre we done here?We’re going”
“Hmmph!”
Artpe let out a sigh as he turned away fro left behind, she matched his footstepsAt that moment, she was very cute
However…
“Please stop……”
Silpennon called after theArtpe didn’t hide his annoyance as he turned aroundHowever, his eyes opened slightly wider when he saas in Silpennon’s hand
“Please take this”
“What the…”
It was Artpe’s turn to be surprised like an idiot
Silpennon had held up a large jewel that was eht from all its surfaceAnyone, who knew the identity of the precious gemstone, would have reacted in a similar fashi+onArtpe’s Read All Creation ability didn’t let him downIt immediately displayed the item’s info
[Demite’s Gemstone]
[Magician]
[It is part of the Lihest ranked ingredients for h in purity, and as tiendary gem that only appears a handful of times in either the human world or the demon world
It hadn’t been refined yet, so the gemstone’s enormous power is still hiddenHowever, once it is refined, it will increase one’s Mana by a vast amount, and it would also develop random additional abilitiesIt will also develop a will of its own, so it will have the ability to help the owner finish one’s spellHowever, it is so hard that it is almost impossible to refine itThis is the only flaw to the item]
‘This is probably worth dom!?’
He had run across an unexpected item at a place where he had never expected to find itThis hy Artpe almost became lost in himselfSilpennon spoke calmly in front of Artpe
“Since I’ve incurred a debt to you, it is up to lect my dutyTake this, youthI don’t knohat it is, but it has been kept in our kingdo tiemstoneYou should sell this, so your irl acquire equipment that would be of help to her”
“Do you really knohat this is…”
No, if he knew, he wouldn’t have given it to Artpe no reat of a help they were to himArtpe cleanly sed the shout of joy that was about to exit his emstoneIn such a situation, it was one’s duty to be quiet, and just take the item!
“HmmAs expected of the crown prince, you’ve received a fantastic upbringingThank you”
“Is that perhaps a compliment, Artpe!?”
The other knights were taken aback when they saw Silpennon hand over the Dehts weren’t like the feIt seemed they didn’t put much importance in duty and honor
“Your highness, we took that before we ran away froive away such a precious treasure…”
