The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player Chapter 241

Episode 241:

Inside a gorgeous room.

Warm sunlight was coming through the terrace.

A colorful teacup placed next to a colorful vase.

“ha.”

A woman in her late thirties lifted her lips from the steaming teacup and let out an inexplicable sigh.

Ariella.

The only queen left in the Kingdom of Ruben and the mother of the 5th Prince Edrad.

She hadn’t faded yet, no, she still boasted outstanding looks, but what was the use of it all?

Her husband, Thaddeus II, was sick and the royal family’s situation was as precarious as each step was walking on thin ice.

‘You can’t just live in peace, right…?’

She did not become queen because she wanted to, and she was not particularly greedy for power or wealth.

If only I could live a comfortable daily life without worries, there would be nothing more I could wish for.

It didn’t take long for what I believed to be a normal daily life to collapse.

Perhaps this was a fate that was decided the moment he entered the royal family.

While I was enjoying a bitter cup of tea, I heard someone’s footsteps.

“Mom, are you enjoying your tea time?”

Edrad, the only child and fifth prince, approached with a smile.

“Yes Edrad. “Would you like to have a cup of tea too?”

Edrad, who turned 24 this year, was honestly ordinary.

Swordsmanship, academics, appearance, personality.

He was evaluated as not being outstanding in anything, but not lacking in anything, so if it had been a normal era, he would have lived the life he wanted. but.

“My grandfather came to visit last night too. “My mother said I needed to make a decision.”

“….”

Ariella’s lips were tightly closed.

Edrad’s maternal grandfather and her father.

Beortio de Admer was one of only three marquis in the kingdom.

Unlike the five great samurai families, the Marquess of Admer is a family that excels in administration and business affairs.

Thanks to this, it was a prestigious family that could even be said to surpass the Duke of Templeton in terms of wealth, the number of officials from the family, and the size of its territory.

The shortcoming is that, unlike the five great samurai families, the family has never produced a master.

However, because it was the Kingdom of Ruben, a kingdom of knights, that single drawback was a very big fetter.

Was that why?

It seemed that Marquis Beortio had no intention of letting this opportunity slip away.

They were showing a desire to somehow place their grandson on the throne and be known as the best family in the kingdom.

‘…ha.’

It was becoming a huge burden and burden to Ariela.

Even my dying husband.

Even though he was already a prestigious family, his father wanted more.

Even my son who can’t hide his youthful spirit.

It wasn’t that I didn’t understand, but I couldn’t hide my worry.

Having lived in the royal palace for quite some time, she felt it.

Now, a huge predator has set a trap and is waiting for its prey.

It wasn’t the 3rd prince.

The current head of the family of the Marquis McNeil is standing right behind him.

She was very afraid of the Marquis Clifford de MacNeill.

“mother. I know what you’re worried about. But you also know that we don’t have a choice, right? “Now is the time to make a decision.”

Her son Edrad held her hand and spoke in a firm voice.

‘…Oh, you’ve grown a lot.’

I always had it by my side, but I just didn’t realize it.

When she saw the burning eyes of her grown son, she realized that she could no longer stop him.

Sreuk.

An envelope with a colorful pattern came out of her arms.

“Take it. And… no. “Take care of yourself.”

“Thank you, mother! Please take shelter in the royal castle for the time being.”

The identity of the envelope.

It was the will of the current king, Thaddeus II, to hand over the throne to the 5th prince, Edrad.

She thought it would be better to hand over the throne to the third prince as it should, but the father and son did not seem to think so.

As she watched her son leave after kissing the back of her hand, she had a hunch that this might be the end.

She blushed, hoping that her concerns would prove to be unfounded.

* * *

Whirring.

A group of dolls dressed in black night clothes were running down a dark underground tunnel.

“Even though there was an invasion of the palace last time, this underground passage still remains. “Wow.”

“It’s an underground passage that was built knowingly or unknowingly for hundreds of years. “It will be impossible to block it completely unless the entire palace is buried underground.”

Jake and Kane talked through guild communication.

“How far does the passage lead?”

“This time, we will be able to go directly to each prince’s palace.”

Raoul asked, and Kane said with a meaningful expression.

In fact, most of the underground passages had been blocked since the last invasion of the castle.

But what if the passage is blocked?

Wouldn’t it be okay to open a new path?

It was a task that Raoul entrusted to the First Guild’s capital branch, and it was also a task that Kane took care of whenever he could.

‘Just for today.’

If nothing special had happened, I wouldn’t have used this passage…

As the saying goes, a bad prediction is never wrong, and the situation in the royal castle was taking a turn for the worst.

Mid-April.

Raoul hurriedly returned to the Kingdom of Ruben.

It was because of reliable news that King Thaddeus II was in critical condition.

Fortunately, the situation in the Brennan Republic was going as Raoul intended.

While the Delamian family was embarrassed after losing their master, the Gallegos family launched an all-out offensive.

And in the process, new masters from each family appeared… There

are a total of four masters in the Delamian (2)-Void (2) alliance.

There are also four masters of the Gallegos (3)-McGregor (1) alliance.

The number of masters in the Republic, which was previously only 3, increased to 9 (one for Larsen, the previous commander-in-chief).

The tightened number of masters and structure restricted the movements of each family, and the Gal-Mac alliance, which had already secured a superior number of votes, secured victory.

Except for Bae Do-hyun, the Purple Guild members still remained on the Gallegos side and continued to work to prevent any variables from occurring.

Thanks to this, Raoul was able to return home without much worry.

Soon after Raoul returned to the territory, something happened.

Eventually, King Thaddeus II passed away.

The problem occurred right after.

The forces of the 5th Prince Edrad and the Marquis Admir made the king’s will public.

The ministers and officials who confirmed the king’s will appointing Prince Edrad as the next king were surprised by two facts.

First, the will that was only rumored was real, and the 5th prince was indeed named as the successor.

-If that’s the case, shouldn’t real power have been given to the 5th prince instead of the 3rd prince from the beginning?

Now that the king was dead, there was no one to answer.

Secondly, a new master was born in the kingdom.

The moment the will was made public, it was simultaneously announced that one of Marquis Admer’s blood relatives had become a master.

Thanks to the instantaneous raising of the Auror Blade, not only the nobles of each faction present, but even the three princes could not easily deny the existence of the will.

It seemed like the 5th prince would succeed to the throne smoothly…

but that very night.

visor! Chat!

“Arrest the five traitors to the kingdom, Prince Edrad and Marquis Beortio!”

“What kind of bullshit is that… ugh.”

The vassals of the third prince, Herdian, and the troops of the Marquis MacNeill raided the royal palace.

The Guards and Knights of the Guard, who were supposed to protect the palace, did not block their path.

The only ones who resisted were the guards of the 5th Prince’s Palace and the Marquis Admer’s private soldiers.

This is because the commander of the Royal Guard and the commander of the Knights of the Guard were already included in the three princes’ side.

Sukkeung~ Phuwak!

“You guys! How dare you go against the king’s wishes! This Metaor de Admer will not forgive!”

The majesty of the Master is truly unrivaled.

The invaders who fearlessly invaded the prince’s palace, regardless of whether they were soldiers or knights, had to shed blood on his auror blade.

Clap clap clap.

“indeed! “There was a reason why Edrad, who was so insignificant, coveted the throne.”

“You…”

It was the third prince Herdian who appeared in front of Metaor, covered in blood, clapping his hands.

“I really like your cutting skills. how is it? Would you like to work for me? “If you kneel right now, I will forgive you for your rudeness so far and treat you with great respect.”

The Third Prince spoke lightly as he pushed away the knight’s body in front of his feet, frowning as if it was in the way.

The fact that the knight died following his orders did not seem to matter at all.

“You sound interesting. “You should not have appeared before me!”

Sigh!

There was no reason to talk to the 3rd prince, who was the culprit of this invasion.

Metaor kicked the ground and ran towards the three princes, violently swinging his Auror blade.

“Tsk tsk. Anyway, stupid things don’t understand even if you give them a chance.”

The three princes turned their backs and didn’t even blink even though the Auror blades were flying at them.

It certainly deserved recognition for its distribution and courage.

Chajajang!

Quagwang!

“…Ugh. “Who…”

Not only was Metaor’s Auror Blade blocked, but he also took a few steps back due to the significant repulsion force.

He was speechless when he tried to ask the enemy’s identity in a frustrated tone.

Phew. Faaat.

Behind the 3rd Prince Herdian.

Four terrifying Auror blades were baring their vicious teeth.

“…ha.”

Metaor, with a dejected expression on his face, let out a sigh.

But soon the Auror blade on his sword began to burn violently again.

“Clean up Hammond. “Ah, bring Edrad and the Marquis Admer alive.”

Herdian sat down on the chair brought by the servant, crossed his legs, placed his hand on his chin, and looked down at the hall with an arrogant expression.

“Ha!”

Quagwang! thud!

The final flame rose in the palace of the 5th prince.

The next morning.

The second outer castle square.

Numerous citizens and nobles were gathered in front of the podium under the strict guard of the Royal Guards and Knights.

Then, two figures were dragged onto the platform, their bodies covered in blood and bruises.

“… has been clearly revealed. Therefore, the 5th Prince Edrad and the Marquis Beortio de Admer are charged with regicide and will forgery and are sentenced to death!”

Murmur.

There was no time for the public to judge anything.

Just as the executioner was about to strike the two men’s necks with his sword, someone climbed on the platform and snatched his sword.

“Anyone who defies me will not escape this fate!”

Wow! Wow!

The third prince, Herdian, cut off the heads of his brother and the marquis with his great sword.

And the scene was broadcast not only throughout the capital but also throughout the kingdom.

-This is a ridiculous outrage!

-The will is a forgery! Where is the basis?

-oh my god! A fool like that becomes king? How can you have such a tyrant as your master?

Naturally, there was a huge backlash, but it didn’t last for a few days.

Wow.

Another execution ceremony.

The one sacrificed this time was Queen Ariella.

A punitive force joined by part of the central army and Marquis McNeil’s knights attacked Marquis Admer’s territory.

In terms of scale, it could be said to be the largest in the kingdom, so the number of troops and knights of the Marquis Admer was a scale that could not be ignored.

Nevertheless, the subjugation took only a few days.

As a result, the fourth queen, Ariella, who was hiding in the Marquis of Admer, was captured.

The scene where Prince Herdian personally executed the four queens, even though they were not their biological mothers, was truly shocking.

But what was more shocking than that were the five masters standing behind him.

Clifford de MacNeill, head of the Marquess of MacNeill.

Hammond, Commander of the Royal Guard Knights.

And even the three masters of the newly appointed Master MacNeill.

The noble families of the capital and the nobles of each territory, who saw the Auror blades rising from the swords of the five people, had no choice but to remain silent with gloomy hearts.

“I will hold a coronation ceremony in Turiam in fifteen days. All nobles with titles must go to the capital unarmed and swear allegiance to me. Those who do not attend….”

Kwajik.

The heads of the four queens fell and exploded under Herdian’s shoes.

Young Pogo is threatened by the 3rd Prince.

This was the reason why Raoul and his group had no choice but to walk through the royal underpass in night clothes.
