The Golden Sun of the Academy

Chapter 92

Entering the City (1)

After summoning the knights, I stroked my dark-rooted mane and headed straight for the capital.

Of course, the damn expensive invitation was tucked away in the bosom.

This is my lifeline, and I cannot neglect it.

Of course, it wasn’t just invitations. In addition to the invitation, he had also packed a few top-secret materials he had found in Ivan’s desk drawer.

It was fortunate that there were things that Ivan, who was preparing for a rebellion, would have expected.

These are the things that will give you legitimacy to lead a large knights to the vicinity of the capital.

Along with the various reactions of the nobles along the way, it was quite difficult to lead the knights to this extent.

Three days had passed, but the feeling of the plate mail covering her body was unfamiliar.

The visor was lowered, so the view was tight, so I lifted it up.

Without even making a sound, he gently took off the helmet with the visor raised.

You can see the city formed along the river in front of you.

The city surrounded by stone walls seemed difficult to attack.

A deep moat. A towering fortress wall. An eagle flag symbolizing the royal family flutters on the towering spire.

We finally arrived at the capital.

No matter how much he led the knights like this, it was nothing compared to the power of the kingdom.

There, later, Ivan’s head was hung on that high wall… … .

He swallowed the dry saliva that was gathering in his mouth.

“let’s go.”

Under the deep blue sky, the capital that shines brightly in sunlight may be a limb to me.

but.

Beauty could not be kept waiting too long.

* * *

Malek, the head of the capital guards of the Adria Kingdom, could not let go of his tension as the high-ranking nobles’ wagons had been constantly rushing in for the past few days.

“It is the carriage of His Excellency, Marquis Lucien.”

“Yes, I checked. Please go in.”

I sweated as I watched the gorgeous wagons enter without hesitation through the huge main gate next to the small side gate that commoners pass through.

“shit… … It flows endlessly.”

There would be only a few members of the noble family passing through the main gate, but if you go in the direction of the side gate, there will be dozens of people waiting for you.

“Captain, go in and rest.”

“Are you crazy?”

At the words of a young subordinate who spoke with a wink in his eyes, Malek gave him a slap in the back of the head.

The iron part of the glove and the helmet collided with a ‘knock’ sound, shaking the subordinate’s goal.

“At a time like this, go in and rest? Who wants to see everyone fly away?!”

“I’m purely worried about the captain… … And isn’t the captain also a noble? Do you really need to do this?”

“oh my… … Let’s not talk about this burn. If I talk to you, I will be cramped and my life span will be shortened by ten years. Stop talking nonsense and go get some water.”

“yes-!”

‘Are all nobles the same as nobles?’ He swallowed back the gossip and good words that had risen to his throat. Yes, what is the child guilty of?

I tried to hit the back of the head one more time, seeing the face of the subordinate smiling like an idiot.

Of course, he was also a nobleman as he was the head of the guard. Even if you are a noble, there is a class.

Recently, aristocrats from home and abroad came to the royal castle in order to choose a husband for the princess.

All of them are high-ranking nobles who had their own territory and lived there like a king.

It was the same with the Marquis Lucien who had just entered.

There were few nobles with greater prestige than him in the eastern plains of the Adria Kingdom.

There were several nobles of the same weight class in the Eastern Plains, but there was no consolation.

Among those who had previously entered there was a ‘Prince of another country’.

“Damn it… … Normally, it’s time to wash one and lie down in bed.”

His trembling hands were asking for a cigarette, but he decided to be patient.

Because he, who had no territory and lived a shabby life, could have lost his job immediately after the decent job he had, even if the rulers ran to the king and snorted.

These days, the adjutant’s gaze at Malek’s seat has been unusual.

“Eh… … , What on earth are you doing when you don’t use knights like this?”

Isn’t it an article that is meant to be used at times like this?

The knights who received that expensive salary turned to introspection, and in the end, the hard work was done by subordinates like themselves.

There is no way the superiors know the circumstances of the inferiors.

He sighed and straightened his posture.

It’s not long before this thing is done. After a few days, I will go back to my peaceful life… … .

For a moment, something caught Malek’s vision.

“Come again… … .”

There was an article that was approaching in a short term, raising dust. As soon as I was about to go through the formal confirmation process… … .

“That flag… … ?”

Regardless of his usual work attitude, the name is Malek, one of the capital’s guards.

There was no coat of arms of an aristocratic family he could not remember.

Wasn’t the reason why nobles came recently to find a groom for the princess?

A blue background like the sea.

A roaring lion crest drawn in the center of the flag.

“… … Why is Ain here?”

It was the flag of Count Hribach.

Malek hurriedly flipped through the list and started looking through the list of prospective visitors.

It was obviously not there when I first saw it, but when it was added, the last line had the sentence of Count Hribach added.

As Malek murmured, the knight clad in iron armor reached near the entrance.

The knight I saw up close was different from a normal human in terms of physique, as befits an Ain.

He is said to be wearing plate mail and riding on a horse, but his physique is easily over 2m.

A shoulder width twice that of a human.

Iron armor that does not expose the whole body and face to the outside.

Definitely not human.

what size… … .

Malek, who swallowed dry saliva naturally from the intimidation, looked down.

I belatedly saw the horse riding, but it was not an ordinary horse.

It was a course among coursers 1.5 times the size of a general war horse.

“if… … , Are you your Excellency Count Hribach?”

The knight in front of him answered Malek by raising his visor.

It was opened lightly with only a soft metal sound that says ‘Charleung’ how good a visor is used, and it does not flow down.

And the face I saw… … .

looks like a dog

For a moment, Malek rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was seeing something wrong.

I remember that Count Hribach this time must be Lion Ain?

However, the one in front of him was Ain, a dog that literally reminded him of Freddy, whom he raised at home.

“I am not Your Excellency the Count.”

Isn’t it Your Excellency the Count to use such good equipment?!

No, it can be.

“then… … if. Are you the leader of the knights?”

“no. It’s just a messenger trying to tell you that the Count has arrived nearby.”

messenger? one messenger?

I knew that Count Hribach’s family had a lot of money, but was it enough to invest this much in a single messenger?

Malek, who kept his mouth shut and managed his expression, answered to do his part.

“no… … , You didn’t even need to send a messenger?”

“That’s because there are a lot of people in the group. Just in case, you sent me first.”

No, if there are many people, how many… … go?

“ah… … It looks like time is running out. I’ve done my job. I’ll go back to base. Did I tell you clearly?”

Behind the messenger, over the hills in the distance, he could vaguely see dust blowing in the wind.

Malek, who had lived in the capital and served in the military, had seen such a scene on one hand.

It was rare to see a large-scale knights running toward the walls of the capital, except when a country was defeated and destroyed in a war.

The dust grew bigger and bigger in my field of vision.

The dimly visible figures began to become clear.

The silvery iron ripples that reflected sunlight must have been hot with the heat pouring from the sky, but it made Malek’s heart cool.

Each of the gigantic knights looked like a general of the Manbubu Party.

Since they had their faces covered with helmets, they couldn’t see their expressions, so they approached even more fearfully.

“… … Was a messenger right?”

They were all covered in iron.

It seemed as if the iron mountain moved whenever they moved closer.

The flag held high by the leading jockey flutters like the flag of Count Hrivar, which we just saw, is about to tear.

The ground shakes as they approach.

It seems like the sky is collapsing. The fragmented sunlight was no longer visible.

Just in time, clouds passing over the capital blocked the sunlight, and shadows covered the city.

A gloomy atmosphere and tension began to permeate the walls.

I stared blankly at them. Have you ever seen articles so intimidating in your life?

No matter how much I thought about it.

– Deeng. Deeng.

“What crazy?! You go right now and stop the emergency bell!!”

Perhaps because the news had not been reported, the alarm bell signaling an emergency began to ring from the wall.

Citizens lined up in the direction of the side gate scatter in all directions screaming in confusion.

Malek took a step back involuntarily and felt the cold, damp bricks on his back.

Can the wall protect me from that army?

The question that popped into his mind made Malek slap himself on the cheek with a loud slap and regained his composure.

crazy, what are you thinking? Wake.

They approached as if they were about to devour the walls of the capital city, but fortunately stopped at the top of the hill.

It felt as if he was arranging the front line for a spear charge, and he seemed ready to attack at any time.

With the rider in the lead, another began to draw closer.

After making such a fuss, they approached leisurely as if they had nothing to do with each other.

Only the clatter of horses’ hooves resounded desolately.

It seems that the surrounding temperature has dropped in an instant.

A large rider quietly followed a knight with a flag held high.

The article was golden.

The ironclad joints of the whole body were decorated with gold, and the face was wearing a golden lion-shaped helmet.

He was slowly approaching, wearing a red cloak.

As he approached, Malek felt the muscles in his face stiffen.

The golden knight was approaching only 2-3 meters away.

“Are you the captain of the guard?”

The deep voice made Malek’s hamstrings numb.

It must have been a soft resonant voice, but the moment I heard it, my legs trembled. The entry and exit list he was holding had already fallen and tumbled to the floor.

I’m sure it’s just looking down from the top of the horse… … .

It seemed to be in a very high place.

There was also an audience with the king from afar.

I have seen many nobles so far. But nobody was like this.

This is the count.

“… … yes. That’s right.”

Malek’s mouth, which had been tightly closed, was open, answering his question.

‘chin.’

Although he had jumped off his horse, he still seemed to be at a height beyond his reach.

Landing on the floor, he picked up a piece of paper that was kicking at his feet.

It was the list that Malek leaked a while ago.

He casually turned the pages and muttered something.

With the opposite hand, he lifted the visor of his helmet.

The lion-shaped visor went up and a new lion appeared.

The dark black eyeliner was that of a beast sharpening its prey.

Conversely, deep eyes belonged to a wise man who seemed to penetrate everything in the world.

The gently protruding facial part reduced the tension, but the sharp fangs that were slightly visible made the viewer shrink.

When I see the blackish golden mane that abundantly covers my neck, I bow my head.

It was the first time I felt the dignity of a king.

“Here you are.”

Reaching into his arms, he took out something, inserted it into the list, and handed it over to his lieutenant.

The tall knight who politely received it walked over and handed it over to Malek.

– Ivan Hrybach.

– Invitation to the royal ball.

It was sent with an invitation inserted under his name.

“To suffer.”

It seems like you don’t need an answer.

Ivan entered the castle gate that was suddenly open. The rider followed behind him, leading the horse.

and… … .

Upon coming to his senses, Malek could find his head bowed respectfully toward him.
