55 55. 18. The fangs in their pockets are squeezed out. (3) (1/2)

Maximilian is embarrassed by the appearance of a brother who has changed so much.

“I just nailed it. ”

The prince was a very willing face. It was only because of the soldiers who had waited, that I had so deep an eye for my brother.

“Brother.”

Maximilian can't stand the awkwardness.

“Many soldiers are exhausted as they travel through the blizzard. ”

“I see.”

The first prince, who returned to his prideful gaze, welcomed the reinforcements.

“Welcome to Winter Castle. ”

A prince who welcomed him as a lord, rangers who swung their swords, and a historic fortress that rose high behind him.

No matter what he looks like, Maximilian admires it.

It would have been a pretty impressive sight to remember if it hadn't been for the bodies everywhere.

“Follow me.”

The prince turned around and walked amongst the corpses.

Maximilian hesitates. He follows the steps.

“Oops.”

Suddenly, a strong odor, a macabre smell that burns the corpse, burns the nose. Chimi moves forward with a hiccup of nausea, and there is a continuous sound of vomiting in the back of the line.

Looking back, the faces of the knights and soldiers shrug. Experienced silver fox mercenary commanders and mercenaries were also weary.

The reinforcements' body wasn't a word.

Maximilian pretends to be delirious.

“There must have been a battle. ”

At the end of the day, the prince said, ”It's not a big deal.”

“Uh, three days ago. ”

One prince did not look back and added a word.

“You'll get used to it soon. ”

That doesn't really sound like anything.

How many hundreds of corpses do you have to fight to feel nothing in front of your eyes?

Maximilian has a rather tiresome face, so the lesser Ranger commander stands up and consoles him.

“After a couple of encounters with the living Orcs, those who are dying like that will look even prettier. ”

It didn't seem comforting at all.

“Those are the people who came out of the middle of you. ”

The prince said a word.

Choro's men and dozens of knights stood before the gate.

The rangers who were in charge of guidance ran forward and raised the throne and stood behind it. Choro's knight stepped forward and listened lightly. “I salute the Leonberger royal family. Valrhad's veil.”

“I salute the shield that blocks the northern winds. I am honored to meet the Noble Priestess of the Kingdom, the shield against the North Wind. It's Maximilian.”

“Thank you infinitely for the fact that the royal family has not forgotten the harshness of winter. ”

“I'm sorry I'm so late. ”

A top-notch greeting approaches, and the prince next to him tugs and touches the Ranger platoon commander. Ranger platoon leader pulls the horn out of his arms and bites his mouth.

Buoooooo.

The sound of the trumpet was terrifying and countless flags were erected over the walls. The spear and knife appeared in unison.

Under it were soldiers of the Winter Castle.

Chuck.

“Welcome to Ballerhard! ”

“Salute the royal and unchanging friendship! ”

The welcoming ceremony became a touching face for Maximilian, even though the situation was a difficult one. Erchim Kiringer, who was by his side, snorted.

The snowy Maximilian nods and shouts, looking over the wall.

“A sea of gratitude on behalf of the royal family for your struggle, dedication and sacrifice! Salute the men of Ballerhard! ”

A gloomy answer echoed from the winter castle that planted the manna. Soldiers shouted.

”Then let's go inside. ”

* *

“Your Majesty. ’’

Maximilian is releasing the Admiral and someone is coming. It was Herchim Kiringer, deputy commander of the Wire Magnetic Corps.

I noticed something to say.

“Have you seen the glottis? ”

Erchim asked me to talk to you about it.

“It seemed like a trace of urgent repairs to the plates here and there. ”

“You've seen it well. Looks like the glottis was pierced. ”

Maximilian's expression hardened at the words.

I had already guessed when I saw the bodies spread out in front of the castle, but I never imagined they would reach such an urgent border that even the gate would be pierced.

“It seems that the situation is much worse than expected. ”

“The faces of the Baldheads are not so dark...”

There was a big battle just three days ago. A lot of people would have died in Philly. Nevertheless, Captain Ranger was cheerful, and there was no shade on the Count's face.

It was incomprehensible for Maximilian.

“Let's keep an eye on it a little bit longer. We don't have enough information yet. ”

It seemed somewhat time-consuming to fully understand this aggravating situation.

Erchim, who nodded, asked as if he had just remembered.

“How did you do better than that? It's been a long time, hasn't it? ”

“It's just embarrassing. ”

Maximilian adds a word with a confused face.

“But I could tell the extent to which the Holy Spirit was not the same as the rumors. ”

I was a brother, but I didn't get a chance to meet him. My father didn't want it, and the situation didn't follow. It was just a rumor that I heard about my brother floating in the palace.

Fearful, incompetent, ruthless, wretched, that was the brother I heard through the rumors.

But Wengirl. The brother I met a long time ago was completely different from the rumor.

He was buried with blood all over his body, walking between piles of corpses, and nowhere did he see the rumored coward. I could see that the brother was not just a ruthless and incompetent wreck, as rumored, when I looked at the coarse, well-respected northern men like my own.

“By the way, Lord Herchim doesn't seem surprised. ”

“A day ago, His Royal Highness visited the castle of Wiresa. I had the opportunity to meet His Royal Highness. ”

Herchim told me what happened between the wire lions and the prince.

“Until the day he left the castle, he had not lost a single prince. ”

After less than half a year of learning swords, Erhim laughed.

“Today, His Royal Highness seems to have made more progress than ever before. ”

After an unexpected evaluation, Maximilian wears off his face full of surprises. He asked why that had not been said.

“The First Prince did not want rumors to come out. ”

Maximilian is immersed in thought.

People don't change when they get dizzy, but people don't change all of a sudden.

In any case, however, there was no difference between the originating and the endocrine. That's because that's the quality that's been set since I was born.

It didn't make any sense to have a talent that wasn't there in the morning.

So Maximilian came up with another assumption. It was a much more convincing and sensible assumption than assuming that suddenly talent and objects had changed.

“It's easier to hide what's there than to make something that's not there. ”

Erchim asked himself,

“What did you say? ”

“Oh, by myself. ”

Maximilian is quite stubborn.

I wasn't sure yet. I had to watch a little more.

The winter in the north was long, and he would stay here until the season was over. I never had enough time to find the answer.

Herchim Kiringer went back.

There was somewhat time left until the welcome dinner, during which time Maximilian intended to take a full break. I couldn't be helpless in front of the brains of the Winter Castle for the first time.

But unfortunately, there was a disturber.

The door opens before it responds to the sound of thumping, harsh knocking. A frown burst out of the door and smiled.

“Right here. ”

The brother of Maximilian, the first prince.

The brother, who came into the room without permission, sat in a furry chair.
