The Hero Disciple Is Back

EP.53 – 52. All disciples have plans

“I’m sorry I couldn’t attend this important event.”

“no. It could be.”

The prince was laughing for once. Of course it was smoke. Because the person in front of him wasn’t someone who gave him joy enough to make him laugh at all.

Sword Saint

He was a person who was evaluated as the strongest transcendent. Even the emperor, who had a desire to put everything under his power, was such an unpredictable human being that he would rather make an exception than control it. No, I didn’t know what he was going to do, but no matter what he did, I couldn’t hold him accountable.

No matter what anyone says, the strongest transcendentalist

It would be possible to exclude him if he mobilized everything in the empire, but the risk was too great. Above all, if he completely drew his sword and rushed to become an enemy of the empire, that would also be the worst result for the empire. In the end, somehow keeping him on the side of the Empire is for the Empire. Therefore, the emperor also made an exception for the Sword Saint.

To put it simply, he was so crazy that he couldn’t control it, but he was still helpful, so he just treated him as an invisible person. Of course, there were people who suffered or suffered because of it, but there was no way that they were people who cared enough about others to the extent that the emperor cared about them.

‘So he’s the most difficult person for me.’

It was no exaggeration to say that he belonged to the most difficult type to deal with for the crown prince.

He didn’t have the desire to rule and put everything under his power like the emperor did, but he wasn’t a responsible person to the extent that he would just leave such a man who ran amok like that. The emperor was able to ignore it because he wanted to ignore it, but the crown prince was a problem that could not be ignored even if he wanted to ignore it.

“That’s why the one who didn’t show up in the world… . May I ask why you came to see me all of a sudden?”

“Heh heh heh, it’s not such a big deal.”

If it wasn’t such a big deal, there were many people who could act as messengers. It was something that could only be done if his son and current duke were ordered. However, instead of doing so, appearing in person meant that what they wanted was not so small. The crown prince knew about it, and the Sword Saint himself knew about it, but he couldn’t reveal it openly, so he just thought it to himself.

“I heard an interesting story recently. It means that the hero will be announced soon.”

The prince was not surprised. It was thanks to having already heard the story from Sarah. But even so, acting as if the prince knew everything was not a good thing, so the prince pretended not to know it perfectly by wearing a mask.

“Ugh. I didn’t expect to hear that story here. Is there any point in bringing up that story all of a sudden?”

“Isn’t it an important matter? I thought it was strange that the position of a hero who staked the fate of the world was chosen, and that was decided quickly.”

“Rather, the fate of the world is at stake, so shouldn’t it be decided as soon as possible? If now is a crisis, this is the time when we need a center that can stand together against the crisis. If it is suitable to be selected, I think it is natural that the faster it is decided, the better.”

“But this old man has seen far too many cases where such hasty decisions have gone wrong. That is why I am giving advice that it is necessary to make decisions as calmly, carefully and strictly as possible.”

Just seeing this old man trying to find a solution through words as much as possible, without drawing his sword or threatening, was an indication of how tightly the crown prince held onto the empire, or more precisely, how effectively Sera cooperated. If the crown prince hadn’t been able to properly hold the empire even a little bit, the Sword Saint would have rather used that opportunity to threaten and achieve what he wanted.

But there were no such gaps. There was no way the hero of infinite return would give such a gap, and the crown prince was also a competent person, so it was a result of careful attention. That’s why the swordsman wanted to solve it with words as much as possible.

However, the prince’s answer was decided from the beginning, so there was no way he could be shaken.

“Of course, I will. But in a situation where you don’t know how much time is left, I don’t think those words will be helpful. Above all, I have no idea what I need to wait for carefully and sternly in a situation where a god and a saint appear.”

“However, the Wandering God and the Wandering Saint had no influence among the existing temples. If you think about that, isn’t it necessary to think carefully and strictly?”

“Isn’t it not that a god ceases to be a god just because he has no influence, and does not a saint become a saint? Why should I even consider such a thing?”

“… … .”

The swordsman finally shut his mouth.

In the first place, the Sword Saint did not come here with any reason or logic. I came because I thought it would be natural if it was his words. However, as the prince had no intention of doing so, it was a natural result that his words became so meaningless that they were no different from talking against a wall. In the first place, the prince had no intention of responding to that story, since there was not even dust.

But if you were just going to go back quietly

that ass heavy

There was no way that the old monster called the Sword Saint could have reached this point.

Koo Goo Goo!!!!

Jittery

Sudden attack of pure life

To the point of making people think that their throats were cut for a moment.

A ruthless killing spree hit him to the point of causing a physical illusion.

As if to prove just how unsuitable the name Sword Saint was for him, his life could not be found in the slightest sense of a saint. Indeed, the expressions ghost and monster fit perfectly.

The old monster shouted at the prince and said to the prince.

“Are you young and brave? . Or does he know that he has reached the top of the empire and that something has happened… . Even that emperor couldn’t look me straight in the eye.”

Jittery

The prince’s heart seemed to stop at any moment. To that extent, the Nogoe’s shooting was ignorant. Wouldn’t it be better to die and go to hell than live under the same sky as this monster? It was such a thought that made me have absolute fear.

if… .

If there hadn’t been an absurd existence behind him who made him experience this in advance, saying, ‘This will definitely happen, so let’s practice.’

“… you are… . mistaken… . It seems there is.”

“… … ?!”

“As you said… . I! It’s the top of the empire! For the Empire! Choose and make your decision! You have to get down! That I am the only one who makes decisions for the empire! It looks like it will bend!!!”

scary.

But

It was not as scary as the warrior Sera.

It was a strange thing.

The murder he felt a moment ago was surely the most ruthless and absolute fear of his life. Even so, the crown prince was more afraid of the hero Sera than the Sword Saint. The reason must be that the only thing he felt from the old monster, the Sword Saint, was fear. Although it was a ignorant fear, it was futile. It was absolute horror, but empty. That’s why he was actually more afraid of the hero Sera than the Sword Saint. That’s why it was possible to refuse resolutely. It was a natural result that his mouth would turn to the side he was most afraid of.

“… … .”

“… … .”

A heavy silence came.

The silence was so full of life and cold that it wouldn’t be strange if a corpse suddenly appeared right away.

The cruel silence was broken by the Sword Saint.

“Heh heh heh heh heh!”

He burst into laughter.

But the prince couldn’t care about that. At the same time he burst into laughter, the murderous feeling that seemed to choke him disappeared, and he was busy securing the air that he was not able to rest properly.

“Heh heh heh, I ate this one. Is the future of the empire bright? As a member of the Empire, there is no better news than this.”

“Huh. Huh Eok. Huh.”

“Okay. I am old and have no desire to fight against the country.”

It was no different than saying that if he was just a little younger, he might have drawn his sword against the Empire.

“I am too old to be old. Heh heh heh.”

Finally, the swordsman turned his back and left. Even though he acted and left without the prince’s permission, the prince did not have the slightest desire to point it out. Even if it’s less scary than Sera, the scary is the scary… . For him, he was just grateful that the old monster had stepped back like that.

‘I really thought I was going to die… .’

Anyway, according to the hero Sera, that old monster will no longer visit the crown prince. Because the warrior Sera said that he would accept that he could not use power to solve the problem as long as he knew that the prince’s will was firm. She was not a prophet, but a warrior to some extent, but despite that, the prince accepted her words like a prophecy. In fact, as she said, when it seemed that the prince would never give up, that crazy old man backed away without drawing his sword.

So, I thought that everything after that would be as she said.

I’ve accepted that power can’t solve it

Swordsman

Warrior Sera said that he would try to solve it by force.

Solve it by force… .

“It’s the surest way for you, so taking it out for granted isn’t strange, but… . It is truly pitiful for an old man who does not know that times have changed.”

Although he almost died because of the Sword Saint a moment ago, the prince couldn’t help but feel sympathy for the Sword Saint.

Just like the emperor who never doubted that his power was absolute, that old monster who believed that his sword was absolute would eventually realize the most brutal reality.

of course… .

Compassion wasn’t everything.

“Looks good.”

as much as it hurt

To be honest, I was feeling cool.

He could not have been a truly human prince.
