The best territory designer of all time - Episode 360

360fury. Preparation for an audience (2)

“……omg! Huh, huh... … Whoa!”

Crumbling!

The steel shovel fell to the floor..

But Lloyd didn't pick it up..

Instead, he brought the hand that had let go of the shovel to his face..

I wiped it away.

Sweat welled up on my forehead like natural rock water and dripped down my sleeves..

“Ugh, wow.”

He felt his legs giving out without realizing it..

I sat down on the floor.

Even then, my breathing didn't calm down..

Thanks to this, I had to feel a sense of injustice like a deep, rich espresso..

‘No, I am dying like this. Still, we were in a situation where we were fighting and sparring together. But why is the king so fine?.’

He looked up with a look full of resentment(?).

King Alicia stood tall in front..

Literally she was fine..

Even a breath or a strand of hair appeared undisturbed..

“Lloyd Frontera, are you tired already??”

“Wow, ugh... … Ha, wow, if you say it already, I really... … It's unfair..”

“Are you feeling unfair? Why?”

“The time I spent sparring with His Majesty here at the training ground was... … Whoa, whoa, it's been an hour. But if you say that already…….”

“What's the big deal about sparring for an hour??”

Why are you saying such strange things?.

King Alicia tilted her head..

“Isn’t this how proper sparring is done??”

“…….”

“Even on the battlefield, it's common to spend about an hour sweating blood, hitting, cutting, receiving, running, and then rolling. To prepare for such a case, of course you have to train like this. Isn't it??”

“…….”

Hey there, sister..

No matter how battlefield it is.

If you hit, cut, catch, and roll with a sword master, and a sword master holding two clubs, for about an hour, no one will be okay.?

Lloyd really wanted to protest like that..

It was extremely unfair..

‘Whoa, I just came here to report that the Pantara Mountains Railway has been completed..’

How did this happen?.

Why did I become the king's sister's punching bag in the middle of the night?.

He suddenly remembered what happened an hour ago..

Was it right after arriving at the training ground?.

I saw something unexpected..

That was the image of King Alicia holding a double sword, no, a double club(?).

‘…….’

It was bloody.

Especially because of the bright smile he smiled as he looked back at me..

It was a smile like a girl opening a gift box from her first love..

Or, it was like looking at a sandbag that arrived via rocket delivery..

It was even more so because of the double clubs she held in both hands..

Even from then on?

‘There was no special greeting..’

If you come here, let’s relax first..

It's never too late to talk slowly.

He raised his club gracefully..

What happened after that?

I didn't even want to think about it.

‘You treated me like a complete idiot.’

King Alicia's double clubs, no, the two sharpened iron swords for practice were like a nightmare..

She treated this side as if she were experimenting with new sword techniques and techniques..

He wielded the iron sword in both hands freely..

Although the movement of the iron sword in the left hand was slightly awkward compared to the right hand..

Nevertheless, it was a storm-like offensive with almost no loopholes to be found..

The person in front of him?

I felt like a cricket in front of a typhoon..

King Alicia's level was truly far beyond that of this side..

There was a huge difference from the time I first served as a sword master..

Moreover, unlike this person who became a sword master by ignorantly increasing the capacity of the Mana Heart through various tricks such as foolish mind techniques and rapid charging, she was literally someone who reached the level of a sword master through pure effort and skill..

The difference was truly enormous..

Understanding of one's own body, operation of mana and sword, immediate reaction and application of steps, and all other aspects..

There was a gap of at least a few steps.

The result is a complete joke.

After experiencing one hour of hell(?), I ended up exhausted..

“Ha, haonde, hoo. majesty.”

Lloyd asked, repeatedly wiping away the sweat that poured down like rain..

“May I reveal the reason why I came to visit Your Majesty in prison today??”

“under. I already know your business..”

King Alicia chuckles at this question..

She looked down with meaningful eyes..

“Didn't they come to collect luggage to report that the railway construction in the Pantara Mountains was successfully completed?.”

“……Did you know??”

“It's natural.”

A smile appears on my face again.

She asked, massaging her left arm..

“After wreaking havoc against the Kingdom of Veneto, did you think I wouldn't know about it??”

“…….”

“Well, of course, according to the report, the work was finished neatly, so I won't take any major censure. From what I heard, it seemed like they used quite a few tricks. He even successfully performed a trick of soothing and soothing Venetogna, a clever old man..”

“If you know, I can only appreciate it..”

“I have no choice but to know. You probably didn't think that my eyes and ears were confined to the royal capital.?”

“Of course it is…….”

“It extends even to your territory.”

King Alicia looking here.

There was a slightly strange look in her eyes..

“Thanks to that, I also heard that you have a knack for fooling around with time..”

“…….”

“It's okay. If he had planned to be jealous or wary of you because you had such talent, he could have harmed you early on under the pretext of training..”

“Seo, Seong-eun is devastated..”

“really?”

“…….”

“okay. Jim knows it too. Still, you hope Jim will trust you. It's not that I harbored evil intentions. Because I also know how you feel..”

King Alicia's words were continuing..

Suddenly, a message appeared before my eyes..

Ding dong.

[King Alicia is alarmed by your excessive abilities..]

[Praise takes effect.]

[King Alicia still has absolute confidence in you. So, although they may be alarmed by your extraordinary abilities, they will not be hostile or suspicious of you..]

A welcome message appears before my eyes.

At the same time, King Alicia's gaze in this direction softened..

“So I have already taken action. I have issued a strict order to the residents of your territory not to reveal any information about your abilities to the outside world, and have informed them that if they violate this order, they will be beheaded. also-”

A meaningful smile appears on her lips..

“If there is anyone who tries to separate you from Jim by having doubts and doubts about your ability to make fun of time, he too will be beheaded..”

“Seo, Seong-eun is devastated..”

Lloyd bowed his head..

This time, Seong-eun was truly devastated..

It was because the king's sincerity was clearly felt..

‘Actually, I was planning to announce that time would be frozen soon..’

I was thinking that I wouldn't be able to hide it for long anyway..

This is why time was frozen in front of everyone when the Jewel of Truth was built in the Prontera territory..

‘Because he showed such unusual abilities. Because I thought it would reach the King's ears someday, whether through rumors or in some form..’

But that point was a little earlier than expected..

Perhaps the King was watching this with even more interest than one might think..

That's why.

‘Whoa, I'm glad there are compliments..’

Lloyd inwardly sighed..

Praise, the bearer of Magentano.

I thought that if it weren't for that praise, I might have been suspected of treason a long time ago..

Although King Alicia is an incredibly bold person,.

Nevertheless, because he is the ruler at the peak of power,.

Would he really have tolerated a subject who had the ability to threaten him?.

Perhaps if it weren't for the effect of praise.

It must have already been enough to raise suspicions of treason..

Lloyd breathed a sigh of relief at that fact..

And I took a quick look at the people around me..

“Your Highness, I know this is a presumptuous question... … Talking about this here…….”

“It's okay. If you're worried that those with Sword Master Syndrome will hear our story, please rest assured..”

“If you do it, maybe?”

“okay. As soon as I received your request for an audience, I sent everyone elsewhere. The only people guarding this place now are those of a lower level, so speaking at this level will not reach their ears..”

“If so, you are truly fortunate. As you have declared and promised to me,…….”

“fresh summer eyes?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“also. You're always like this.”

“……yes?”

“You only look for luggage when you have something to gain..”

“I apologize, Your Majesty..”

“I'm sorry?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“really?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Can I look Jim in the eye and say it again??”

“……Please save me, Your Majesty..”

“Tsk. How dare you be so shameless even with your luggage in front of you?.”

“I apologize again, Your Majesty..”

“Hmm, if you apologize like that, will Jim break his promise?.”

“……yes?”

“Suddenly this thought occurred to me.”

“What are your thoughts?…….”

“Since you are the one who always comes looking for luggage only when you have something to gain, I thought why not give you the new summer eyes as late as possible and make you come back tiredly?.”

“…….”

“I'm really satisfied that it doesn't seem as bad as Jim thought. what do you think?”

“That, um, that.”

“why? Did you feel like Jim was mean??”

“…….”

“Or are you trying to figure out how to pray for everything??”

“Please inform me, Zhienha.!”

Lloyd quickly fell down..

A bright smile full of 100% happiness and purity bloomed on the king's lips..

“It's good. I would like to give you the notification you so desperately want and take a look at your situation and situation..”

Seueuugh.

King Alicia smiles brightly and raises her double club..

she said meaningfully.

“Since you've had enough rest, let's start round 2..”

“…….”

A pallor of destruction slowly settled over Lloyd's complexion..

♣

A few days have passed.

In the aftermath of the sparring, Lloyd again lay down in the royal VIP quarters..

It was a harsh sparring with the King’s sister, who came to visit without fail..

But burning my whole body(?) wasn’t without reward..

Fortunately, King Alicia did not delay in keeping her promise..

As the days go by.

Actively moved domestic public opinion.

It was widely known both at home and abroad that the trade route in the Pantara Mountains had indeed been completed by Lloyd..

He directly praised the achievement..

Even in the royal capital.

Even among local nobles.

No one dared to stand against the king's battle of public opinion..

Moreover, they were nobles who early agreed to the king's proposal at the hearing in the House of Lords..

Even the justifiable justification for bestowing sacred objects was given to the king..

Those in favor of implementing the revelation cheered..

The opposition also gave in with a bitter smile..

Things went smoothly.

So, a few days later, a ceremony to bestow sacred objects was held in the royal castle..

The award ceremony was extremely grand..

It was an event to bestow sacred items that had been owned by the royal family for hundreds of years..

All the nobles of the capital attended..

Members of influential local families also rushed to fill the positions..

It became a super-scale event that surpassed most royal events..

Thanks to this, Lloyd had to be very nervous throughout the event..

Because it was an event attended by many influential figures,?

Because it is a place where sacred items are bestowed.?

Getting everyone's attention?

It wasn't.

His tension was in a slightly different direction..

To be more precise, he was heading towards his own jinx..

‘This is a big event. But what if a big, major event is held? An accident inevitably occurred..’

How on earth did your eight-year-old come into being?.

Or is there some strange law in this world?.

If a grand and worthy completion ceremony or event is held,?

It was said that disaster-level incidents and accidents would inevitably occur..

‘It was the same in Cremo and at the completion ceremony of the suspension bridge held here in the royal capital. It was the same at the Termina Grand Garden completion ceremony. Yongyong is making a fuss. But today? It's a bigger event. So I don't know what's going to happen. Let's relax. Never let down your guard!’

He said he had such strong(?) resolutions..

Like a sergeant in his later years about to be discharged.

I was so nervous, paying close attention to even a single flying napkin..

But fortunately?

This time the jinx was missed..

There were no incidents or accidents until the end of the ceremony..

If it's the only incident?

The only incident that occurred was when I received a special box containing the eyes of summer from King Alicia, and I was so nervous that I almost shouted, 'I am devastated, King!'.

‘Whoa. It's a shame I told you to quickly use your tongue to spread the message..’

If you had called out “sister”?

It was almost going to be left in the history books forever..

Lloyd Frontera got his head blown off for insulting the king at a ceremony to present a new object, well, something like that..

‘But anyway, I got this, so it's okay..’

Finally, after completing the award ceremony,.

Lloyd, who left the royal castle, did not return to his quarters..

Holding a box filled with summer eyes, I headed to a quiet suburb..

I climbed over the castle wall with Haviel..

I entered an even more deserted forest on the outskirts..

I waited there until night fell..

And finally, around midnight, the full moon rose brightly..

I started taking action to complete the final puzzle of the big picture I had drawn so far..

“I'm ready?”

“yes.”

“Then let's begin?”

“All right.”

Lloyd asked and Javiel nodded..

Right after that.

Lloyd opened a special control box containing Summer's Eyes..

An indescribable heat rose from within..

They attacked Lloyd who opened the box..

Wow!-!

At that moment, Lloyd activated rapid charge..

I decided that now was the time to eat up the summer food..

I am happy that the time has finally come to resolve the long-standing side effects..

It began to absorb all the heat from the new substance..

Thanks to this, inside his mana heart?

The Spirit King, Panthalassa, who was enjoying a long-awaited vacation(?), was completely freaked out..
