Graham opened his eyes to a dizzying sensation running through his body.

“…”

He blinked a couple of times while covering himself with the blanket, then quickly reached out and grabbed the sword on the bedside table.

“…”

He lay down and fiddled with his beloved sword under the blanket.

Let’s take shallow breaths. The already quiet room was enveloped in silence as if a spell had been cast.

“…Fuck”

The sound of insects croaking, the sound of birds chirping at night.

The sounds of maids and knights walking down the hallway. The sound of breathing.

None of it could be heard clearly.

Graham sat up with a groan.

He ran quickly, placed himself close to the door, and put his ear to it.

“…Is Lord Bolton there?”

Graham leaned against the door and muttered quietly.

A brief moment of silence.

Graham’s eyes narrowed and he placed his hand on his sword.

“…What’s wrong, Your Majesty?”

The answer was a beat late.

Graham’s eyes sank coldly.

“What’s going on outside?”

“…Nothing happened”

“I see…Okay…”

Graham answered as he took a couple of steps away from the door.

Srrrrung-

The sword gleamed in the moonlight.

Silence fell again, and Graham slowly raised his aura.

Woohoo-

A blue aura crawled along Graham’s sword.

Graham, holding a glowing sword, aimed it at the door.

And with a smooth movement, he thrust his sword in.

Kwajijik-! Kook-!

The black sword that passed smoothly through the door stopped dead in its tracks as if caught on a stone.

Graham didn’t miss the moment and struck hard.

A man was cut down with his armor and all, along with the door being cut open.

The man spat out blood with a surprised look on his face.

“Uh, how did you know…?”

Graham indifferently wiped the blood from his cheek.

“There is no Bolton in our Royal Knights”

The answer was surprisingly simple. There was no knight named Bolton working for the royal family.

I know the names of over a hundred knights by heart.

This was a possible response because Graham knew even the work schedule very well.

The man died with the final words, ‘Fuck!’

It was because Graham stuck a sword into his neck.

Graham dragged the man’s body into his room.

Judging from the fact that the surroundings were still quiet, it seemed like they hadn’t noticed that the man had died.

He stripped the dead man of his armor and examined him closely.

Check if they are carrying any suspicious items or leaving any marks on their body.

The search for Graham’s body did not stop even when the subject was naked.

“…What is this?”

Then, suddenly, Graham discovered two peculiar things about the corpse.

One was that the corpse was wearing a chastity belt.

And the second is that there were pink lipstick marks all over the body’s skin.

In particular, traces of a strange magical power remained in the lip marks around the nape of the neck and earlobes.

“This is so amazing”

Graham took out the magic tool in the room.

With the magic tool that leaves a fleeting afterimage, I took a picture of dried semen and a chastity belt.

A magical tool that examines traces of specific magical powers was modeled after the lip print left on a man’s earlobe.

“…Hey, are you inside?”

While examining the body, a voice was heard.

It was a voice heard from outside.

Graham flinched and placed his hand on his sword.

As I took a few deep breaths and concentrated my magic, I felt a presence beyond the door.

Graham immediately drew his sword.

Unfortunately, unlike before, I had to generate magic power in a hurry.

Even the being outside the door noticed Graham’s attack.

Kaaang-!

As swords clashed, red sparks flew.

The man outside the door was also wearing the same armor as the fallen man.

Graham quickly rolled his eyes, examining the area around his neck and earlobes.

‘…there is!’

Traces identical to those of a corpse remained.

“…Damn it! Graham’s awake!”

The man who had been sword-fighting looked over Graham’s shoulder and saw his dead comrade.

He yelled at them to get out of the hallway.

After that, noise and vibrations that shake the axis are felt,

Several knights appeared one after another.

At first glance, it looks like it’s overheated.

“…Those bug-like guys!”

Graham roared like lightning.

It was a scream filled with magical power that left cracks on the wall.

But the intruders only flinched for a moment.

“Come, I’ll slaughter everyone and go to where Abamama is!”

Graham took up his sword with determination.

Wooow-!

As if responding to the magical power flowing out without any obstruction, the sword vibrated violently and soon emitted a vivid blue aura.

Ten intruders also moved their bodies.

The once splendid and majestic hallway soon became a battlefield filled with blood and flesh.

Graham gritted his teeth as he exchanged dozens of sword strikes.

Small, deep wounds appeared on Graham’s body.

Every time that happened, he would cut off the enemy’s neck without mercy.

After several minutes, Graham knelt down, using his sword as a support.

“Ugh, ugh, ugh”

“…ugh. Eek”

Finally, the tenth intruder, who had been holding out, collapsed, foaming at the mouth.

Graham managed to kill all ten enemies.

“…AbbaMama!”

Graham felt dizzy and his vision was spinning, but he forced himself to move.

Graham, limping slowly and slowly, reached the bedroom where his father, the King, was, only to be confronted by a fierce-looking man with reddish-brown arms.

“…I thought I could at least grab your ankle”

The man with the devil’s arm clicked his tongue.

A gruff, boiling voice flowed out. That evil voice that did not seem human.

Graham felt himself shrinking.

“Wow, you’ve got some spirit. You’re standing upright in front of me, too”

A man with a demon’s arm. Belcred was looking straight into my eyes while staggering dangerously.

She smiled at Graham.

From him, who was already half-turned into a demon, an unconcealable magical energy flowed out.

Because of his deep magic, living creatures instinctively felt fear towards Belcred.

Belcred, who was intoxicated by the ferocity and strength of Magi, was intrigued by the strong creature he had met for the first time in a long time.

“What did you do with Abamama!”

Graham screamed.

Belcred let out a “kekekeke” laugh and moved away slightly.

“…!!! Abamama!”

There was King Asrian lying dead with his eyes wide open.

“How dare this evil thing!”

“Hehehe, come and see”

Graham ran in, swallowing back tears and sobs.

Belcred faced the sword with an ominous smile.

A sword that is swung with determination even though one’s arms and legs are trembling.

Breaking great and valiant swords was Belcreed’s greatest pleasure.

Sshaak-!

With a chilling cutting sound, Graham’s body cut through Belcred’s chest.

There were clear traces of injury, but no blood was shed or anything.

On the contrary, the wound healed in an instant and the scar on Graham’s face disappeared.

“This, this can’t be happening”

Graham took a couple of steps back in surprise.

Belcreed grabbed Graham’s shoulder during the gap and punched him in the stomach.

Kuuung-!

“…Crack!”

Graham’s body folded in half and flew into the wall.

The wall shattered in an instant and Graham’s body fell through it.

Belcred approached Graham with a slow gait like a grim reaper.

“Hehehe, let me enjoy it a little”

“…How dare you play with me…”

Despite the desperate skill gap, Graham’s eyes were alive.

He is truly a brave man.

Belcred felt sorry that he had to kill such a man.

But that was all. He had an order more important than his life.

“It’s a shame I couldn’t enjoy it for long”

Belcred licked his lips and raised his demon hand.

A crimson magical power enveloped his hand.

The hairs on his entire body stood on end as he shouted to dodge, but his body, torn to pieces by the attack earlier, did not move at all.

Graham closed his eyes tightly, hiding his sorrowful feelings.

“…If only Gloria had been there”

Graham regretted his decision a few days ago.

It was my younger brother Hagen who came to me and begged for a chance at the Royal Knights of Justia.

Originally, the royal protection was Gloria’s responsibility, but Hagen created Justia in his own name.

Accordingly, he asked Justia for the opportunity to work as a royal knight.

He readily accepted the decision.

If Hagen is truly superior to himself and fit to lead the country,

Graham was willing to give up his seat.

‘But it ended up like this’

At one time, I believed that there were knights belonging to Gloria.

I never thought I would face such a dismal outcome.

“Do you think things would have been different if that woman had been there?”

“…That’s right”

Graham pictured Stacia’s face.

In his memory, she was a cold and blunt image, but she was a meticulous and confident woman who carried out her assigned tasks perfectly.

He was also a friend and comrade who willingly mixed swords and watched over his growth.

“I don’t have the face to see her”

“…”

Woof- Woof- Woof-

Suddenly, the magical power began to stir.

Belcred’s eyes narrowed and his hand rested on the sword at his waist.

“To be able to die comfortably…”

Graham licked his lips, spat out a handful of blood, and grinned.

“I am Graham, the Prince of Asrian. Even if I die, I cannot bow my head before the enemy and die.”

“…Great spirit”

Belcred was sincere.

The rippling magical power spread like ripples on a lake and transformed into a huge vibration that shook the entire castle.

A reddish light, not a blue light, emanated from Graham’s body.

He was burning life force, not magic power.

Belcred pulled out a whip instead of a sword.

A beloved bottle received from the owner.

Now it was a weapon that suited him better than a sword.

Taking it out means you’re going to acknowledge him soon.

Krrrr-

Belcred cried softly.

“Show me your power”

“Are you waiting for me?”

Graham smiled, revealing bloody teeth.

That smile was really charming.

“Do not give up”

Phew-

He took a deep breath and held his sword straight.

Belcred was in his eyes.

One enemy. One thing to bear.

And I have one too.

A line was drawn between the dots.

And the line slowly burned red.

“Sung Gwang-hwi. Supernova”

Then a brilliant light exploded.

It moved forward, destroying everything it touched.

Belcred took out his whip and wrapped it in flames.

The whip, swung without fail from all sides, cut down Graham’s sword one by one.

After thousands of movements, when the light disappeared, all that was visible was a hollow sky and a ruined castle.

And then there was the man who fell.

“Finish it yourself”

Belcred said, cracking his whip.

A moment later, two people emerged from under the collapsed rubble.

There was one man and one woman.

“Wow- You really got stronger?”

Louise laughed heartily as she looked at the sinister Belcred.

The man followed her small back with an unsteady gait. Hagen covered his nose and gagged.

“…tsk”

Belcred spread his wings and left the place.

Now, I guess it’s safe to say that it’s completely a devil’s hand.

Louise glared at him as he left, but her expression immediately changed.

Hagen was brought forward by Graham.

“Okay, take it, Prince”

Louise smiled brightly and placed a dagger in Hagen’s hand.

Hagen took it with trembling hands.

“Stab it in”

“…Me, me?”

“Then who will do it? Me?”

Hagen’s gaze turned downward.

My brother was lying there, covered in blood.

The younger brother bends his knees and holds the knife to his older brother’s neck.

But I couldn’t bring myself to stab my brother in the neck.

“I, I can’t do it. Louise, Tongue, kill my brother…”

Hagen looked at Louise, unable to hold back his tears.

match-

Louise slapped Hagen on the cheek.

“시발새끼야 여기까지 와서 도망칠래?”

“Tongue, brother…brother even to me like this…”

“Then you should be accused of killing your brother and be executed, you piece of shit. Your father is dead anyway, so what can you do?”

“Ah, ahh…”

Hagen, in a panic, vomited up everything he had eaten.

After vomiting for a long time, he gulped until nothing came out and then collapsed on the floor.

“Sob, brother…brother…I…”

He hugged his brother’s cold body and shed tears.

“This little shit is fucking crazy”

She kicked Hagen in frustration.

He collapsed on the rubble, curled up and crying.

Louise kindly placed the dagger in his hand and shouted.

◦ This is no longer a place to run away.

The voice. That voice.

A strange and eerie voice controlling me.

Hagen sat up, tears streaming down his face.

He kept shaking his head, but his body wouldn’t listen.

Her young hands, which had never held a sword before, held the short sword tightly.

and.

Phew-

“Ah, ahhh! It’s hyung!”

Hagen ended up sticking a knife into his brother’s neck.

with a splash-

“Puhaa…haa…”

A bloody man emerged from the sewers, his body hidden behind a mask.

He struggled to move his body and crawled on the floor, his body stinking.

“Hagen…Justia…You were the enemy”

The masked man blocked his bleeding abdomen and took each step forward.

“I have to go find her…I have to go find her…”

However, his injuries were already severe and he could no longer move.

Eventually, the masked man collapsed, unable to bear the blurring of his vision, the loss of his mind, and the pain that crushed his entire body.

“…Father…Mama…Please forgive me…”

…Sniff sniff…

…Sniff sniff sniff!!

[Wow!]

“What’s going on, Poppy?”

[Wow! Wow!]

“Oh my, is this a person…?”
