Sword Emperor Kinkarnon (3)
“I think there are some faces I’ve never seen before?”
The swordsmen of Kinkarnon’s personal guard, the Sword Emperor’s Guard, tilted their heads as they looked at those who had followed the Blood Wolf Swordsmen.
I’ve met the Gardner family several times while working on this project, but today there were a lot more people there.
These people are difficult to identify because they are wearing blue robes that are pulled down low.
However, it had an unusual atmosphere, like a well-sharpened blade.
“They are the Cheongrang Inspectors. Our family head… … They are the people that Lord Algon appointed to make sure that this matter would be a success no matter what.”
The blood tester who opened his mouth looked a little nervous, but the sword tester did not notice it.
Rather, I had to suppress my laughter at the thought that, contrary to what was known, they were not trusted by Algon.
How ignorant must you have been to send additional troops?
“You seem to have a lot of worries.”
“Yes.”
“When this is over and I see you, please tell me that it ended up being a lot more bland than I thought and there wasn’t much for you to do.”
“If you would just do that.”
“Follow me.”
The prosecutors of the prosecution service began to take the lead.
The Blood Wolf Inspectors glanced towards the Blue Wolf Inspector, then made eye contact with the man standing at the end.
They moved forward only after the man nodded slightly.
‘How arrogant.’
The man, Bracken Ranke, laughed in vain as he looked at the back of the swordsman.
I knew that they always followed Kinkarnon and were victorious on the battlefield, and that their skills were no less than those of the Four Great Units.
Still, I couldn’t understand why they weren’t very vigilant even though there were far more people than had been promised.
Was it simply thought that having more people was a good thing?
Or is it just a display of confidence that says, ‘I won’t worry too much even if you betray me’?
“Everyone, get ready.”
At that time, the group was able to arrive at their destination, Mokryeon Palace.
The site of a shabby old palace that appears to be in ruins.
The crowd around them didn’t seem to care much about it either.
“This place is different from how it looks on the outside, but it has a lot of security measures on the inside. You never know what dangers might be lurking here, so don’t treat it lightly. Then, I’ll go first.”
Pfft!
Following the instructions of the inspector in the lead, the inspection team climbed over the wall all at once.
“Hmm! A place like this would definitely be a good place to sneak a peek without anyone knowing!”
Bracken smiled sinisterly, stroking his chin, and was the last to move.
Knock!

With Kinkarnon’s appearance, the atmosphere on the stage became cold and frozen.
-You want me to attack them all at once?
-Even if you say it’s Kinkarnon, isn’t that too reckless?
-I don’t know! Maybe you’re just overflowing with confidence… …!
The audience, on the other hand, was enthusiastic.
An arrogant and proud appearance is an ideal that all northerners would aspire to have.
“Ah, what is this? Even though the battle between Lord Leje Ragnar and Lord Anonymous has not yet ended, a new challenge has been thrown by Lord Kinkarnon Ragnar-! How will the two of you accept this-”
“What are you thinking, big brother?”
Leje’s sharp voice abruptly cut off the host’s instructions.
A distorted expression, as if in discomfort.
But Kinkarnon only gave a light laugh.
“It’s exactly as I said. It feels like time is just being wasted, so let’s finish this quickly.”
“… … .”
The strength in Leje’s hand that was holding the Grim Reaper grew stronger.
It felt like something in my head was going to snap.
however.
“Are you upset that Theo is stealing your attention?”
Amore’s casual remark made Leje come to his senses as if he had been doused with ice water.
Kinkarnon remained expressionless.
But Rize didn’t miss the slight trembling of the tips of his eyebrows.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“What do you mean, I don’t know. It’s just as I said. You were happy because people were paying attention to you until now. But now it’s all been taken away from you, so you’re upset. Huh?”
“You think you can’t do it with your skills, so you’re going to use this kind of strategy? If that’s the case, I commend you for your good attempt… …!”
“What are you talking about? You little brat.”
“… … .”
“What you’re doing right now is something a five-year-old would do. Pay attention, Ppueng!”
Amore even showed an exaggeratedly comical appearance.
He was wearing a mask so I couldn’t read his facial expression, but I could tell he was smiling heavily.
Crunch!
For the first time, cracks appeared in Kinkarnon’s icy face.
It seemed as if the same sound had been heard in Leje’s ears as well.
“Okay. I was also annoyed by the fact that I had to fight twice, but this is good.”
The previously playful voice became calm.
An incredible spirit that doesn’t match his small body.

Gooooo!
Kinkarnon’s momentum, which had been dominating the stage, was instantly reversed.
“Wouldn’t it be fun to go out and get face-first into the ground?”
With those words, Amore’s new model sank,
Kinkarnon returned to his expressionless face and threw his sword into the air.
Kwarrrrung!
A black aura carrying a powerful gust of wind soared into the air.
Kwakwakwang!
That’s it.
It was a signal flare.

“Ah, the finals have suddenly started-! The whereabouts of Hangryongjeon are-”
‘Has it started?’
Theo stood up from his seat.
Although it was covered by the thunderous roar, it was heard very clearly in his ears.
-This is Cheongwon-gak! This is Cheongwon-gak! Suddenly, an unidentified group made a surprise attack… …!
-This is a bed town, and it’s difficult to control the crowds due to sudden disturbances… …!
-Unknown people are moving urgently toward the Central Intelligence Agency. Requesting reinforcements… …!
Urgent voices heard from the magic communication device.
It meant that Kinkarnon’s followers who had been hiding in various places had moved.
and.
[By activating ‘Skill: Drake Fear’ and ‘Skill: Hatchling Synchro’ simultaneously, the area of perception is greatly expanded.]
You could also spot some busy movement between the audience seats.
“Group 6.”
At Theo’s soft voice, the crew members who had been waiting behind him all turned their eyes coldly.
“From now on, those who cause trouble are designated as rebels. They are all to be suppressed.”
“Your name!”
“Your name!”
“Your name!”
The crew members all rose into the air like rays of light.
Parallel!
They had all been scanning the audience in advance, following Theo’s instructions, so they knew the movements of the winners in advance.
Tsupat!
Black smoke poured into the audience.
-Gyaaaah!
-What, what is this?

-Oh, why on earth did you do that!
As the confusion grew, Theo shouted with all his might.
“How dare you-! We have received intelligence that there are unpleasant moves to plot a coup in Hangryongjeon-! I, Theo Ragnar, as the Sogaju- will hold them responsible-!”
The stone he threw created wild ripples.
-Coup, coup d’état?
-Are you crazy?
-Who the hell… …!
-What kind of crazy guy is this in Winterer where both the Lord and the Lord are!
-Is it Troyvan?
Coup d’etat!
Confusion spread across the audience’s faces.
However, due to the law of the strong, Ragnar is prone to civil war at least once or twice per generation.
Still, everyone was shocked because this was something that had never happened in the decades since Kyle took power.
Moreover, wasn’t it only recently that the war with Troyvan ended?
but.
Buck!
The moment Theo took his first step, the confusion began to subside as if it were a lie.
Not only did Drake Fear calm the uneasy atmosphere, but Theo’s footsteps were in a completely unexpected place.
Theo waved his hand lightly in the air.
Gurrrrrr!
A bolt of lightning struck, knocking Kinkarnon, Rje, and Amore back.
-What? Why are you going there?
-Are you saying that one of those three is the one who staged the coup?
Amidst the growing commotion.
“Isn’t your Majesty making too much noise?”
Suddenly, an echo came from the sky.
[The enemy appears!]
And a meteor shower falls in front of Theo.
Kwaaang!
It revealed its identity by raising a coarse cloud of dust.
-Paradox! It’s a Paradox!
-Why Dante all of a sudden?
A rough physique that makes even Bracken look small.
The impressive dragon, boasting an overwhelming sense of intimidation, blocked Theo’s path with a big grin.
“What are you doing, Paeryong? I clearly told you that I was pursuing the rebels. Are you interfering with me?”
“No way. This Dante? Everyone in this world knows how loyal I am to my lord.”

“So how should I accept this now?”
The appearance of the dragon.
In fact, this was something that even Theo hadn’t thought about.
The union between Kinkarnon and Ansio was something that had never happened in a previous life.
But it wasn’t surprising.
‘After Gishar died anyway, I had no choice but to clash with Paeryeong at least once.’
Anyway, Paeryong would only be ‘poked’ to see what kind of Stand he had.
Thoroughly strong, weak, weak, strong.
I couldn’t show Pae-ryong any weaknesses.
Paeryong smiled brightly.
“that.”
“I don’t know what Your Majesty wants, but I will tell you one thing.”
In an instant, Theo’s eyes became cold and sank.
“But who said it was okay to block my path?”
“… … !!”
At that moment, one of Pae-ryong’s eyebrows twitched.
My pride was hurt.
There is only one thing he wants to do.
Bind Theo’s ankles until Kinkarnon’s men can obtain the King’s Scepter.
And he figured it wouldn’t be that difficult.
What I felt while following in Theo’s footsteps was, ‘If I become the next head of the household, I will be able to lead Ragnar well.’
On the other hand, I also had the thought that ‘he is still young and lacks experience.’
So, Paeryong decided to give Kinkarnon power to further increase his own interests.
As the conflict between Theo and Kinkarnon grows, his own value will also increase.
‘I should be able to have as much as the East, so that I can do business without losing.’
There was only one thing Pae-ryong wanted.
throne.
I never thought I would be able to defeat Ragnar anyway.
But below that. He thought that he might be able to provide some protection in a place where Ragnar’s hand couldn’t reach.
So, Paeryong pretended to help Kinkarnon, but he only received a promise from Theo for the eastern interests, and he planned to hit Kinkarnon in the back of the head.
Theo didn’t seem to have any intention of listening to him.
“I am giving you this opportunity because you saved me from the floating archipelago. Any further abuse of authority will not be tolerated.”
But Theo had his own thoughts.
He knew better than anyone that showing weakness to Paeryeong would only lead to him being bitten again and again.
“How arrogant. You will have to pay the price entirely yourself.”

“I will decide for myself what my future will be. You decide. Will you help me maintain my current position, or will you side with Kinkarnon and be purged together?”
“that-”
For a brief moment, Pae-ryong quickly tapped the abacus.
Judging by Theo’s stubborn attitude, it seemed that if he took Kinkarnon’s side even a little bit in this matter, he would be in trouble with him too.
But will you take the risk and break Theo’s power to get what you want?
Or will you take Theo’s side and wait for the future?
The former is a gamble, so if you lose you lose big, and if you win you gain big, but the latter is a safe hand with very little to gain or lose.
But the worries were short-lived.
That’s when he made his decision and was about to say something.
“No, Master! It is dangerous to side with Theo Ragnar!”
Ansio sent an urgent telegram.
At that moment, a good idea crossed his mind.
‘There is a third option.’
Paeryong smiled coldly and opened his mouth.
