I Became the Youngest Prince in the Novel

Episode 1

prologue

A room that is large enough to be believed to be a banquet hall, but with minimal furniture for living.

Shrek-

In such a room, a man was sitting on an antique chair made of black wood, flipping through bookshelves.

The man’s eyes follow the bookshelf, chasing the letters without stopping.

The first emperor.

iron blood agent.

ruler of the world.

Bok Bok Hwang (征服皇).

Demon Emperor.

Heukseongje (黑星帝).

All of these were modifiers for men.

western fairy forest.

the eastern beast.

To the great hordes of giants in the north.

The true king of the world who devoured all the nations that exist on the earth except for the devil with a degree of charisma with overwhelming force and trembling and weaved them into one great empire, ‘Agnes’.

All beings in the world saw him, worshiped him, and feared him.

“ It’s not good.”

A low voice came out of the man’s mouth, who finally turned the last page.

The Chronicles of the Heroes of Flosimar.

It was the name of the book the man had been reading until now.

I found it on the bookshelf of my study by chance, and it was just a heroic novel that often circulated around the world.

A book in which even how he got into the Imperial Palace is questionable.

However, this book, set hundreds of years after the present, was interesting because it brought up his empire, Agnes.

In addition, realistic descriptions and detailed descriptions were impressive as if they were really drawing future events.

In particular, the descriptions of each region, including the Imperial Palace, were realistic as if they had actually been there.

But I didn’t like the ending.

A novel depicting the life of an ordinary hero ends with the annihilation of the enemy of fate, the Demon King.

However, this book was about the failure of the hero, not the success.

The hero dies a tragic death without destroying the demon king, and after that, the world is destroyed by the demon king and the demon king’s forces.

And the most decisive reason for that was the fall of the empire.

Even as the world was perishing, the empire and mankind were in a hurry to secure their own interests.

In the end, the hero leaves for the devil without receiving any support from the divided and fallen empire.

“ I wasted my time.”

A novel that is so poor that it is difficult to even name it a third-rate, especially in the sense that the empire will fall.

At one glance, his memory of engraving everything was to the point of resentment.

As if it was not even worth feeling, the emperor’s eyes immediately closed the book, and a deep sense of boredom and boredom began to appear in his eyes.

Ever since he had everything in the world in his hands, it was a feeling that always followed him like a shadow.

There is no more place to grab and rise.

“… … .”

The emperor’s eyes slowly closed as he looked at the ‘Chronicles of Flosimar Heroes’ in front of him with bored eyes for a moment.

* * *

A quiet palace where only the soft moonlight shines.

Tadat!

An old knight with strong eyes and tightly closed lips was galloping through the halls of such a palace.

“ Heh heh, heh heh!”

As if it had already reached its limit, harsh breaths were flowing out of the knight’s mouth without stopping.

No matter how old he was, he would have been able to run for an hour alone, but behind the knight’s back was a man who seemed to have lost consciousness and was motionless.

“ Why… … why!”

The old knight’s eyes shook as if he couldn’t understand the situation.

As usual, the palace engulfed in the night was very quiet.

But that wasn’t the case.

At least it wasn’t as quiet as it is now.

Because the man holding his back and breathing dangerously was the owner of this palace and the prince of Agnes, the great empire.

“ Are you saying that no one is guarding His Majesty?”

Even though such a prince was being attacked by assassins in the palace and being pursued, the guards did not even appear, let alone protect the prince.

In addition, the magic barriers and traps that were originally triggered when an intruder entered were not activated at all.

“… … Fredo? Who’s behind your back? … !”

At that time, a maid, who was checking the magic lamp in the palace, which was suddenly turned off from the front, made a puzzled expression when she saw an old knight running towards her, then opened her eyes wide when she saw the prince behind her back.

Tadat!

The old knight, who kept his mouth shut as if he didn’t even have time to answer, quickly passed by such a maid.

The sadness that creeps into the eyes of the knight.

The moment when the new type of knight is far away.

Scratch!

In the darkness that followed, a silver light flashed and the maid’s neck fell to the ground.

‘ His Majesty Zion… … .’

In the sight of the old knight, which was fading due to the extreme consumption of stamina, a faintly smiling face came to mind.

Due to his innately weak body and weak disposition, he was the lord of a knight who was pushed out of the battle for the throne and almost imprisoned.

But even that was not enough, the people who imprisoned the master were now trying to take the master’s life as well.

A life that is wretched than that of ordinary people.

The old knight didn’t want his master’s end to end like this.

So I had to keep it anyway.

‘It can’t be like this.’

bang!

With that thought in mind, the old knight bit his lip and stopped abruptly and kicked open the door of the parlor next to him.

Then he laid the prince on the long sofa in the room and blocked the door.

Before his stamina was no longer consumed, he decided to fight against Bae Su-jin.

The assassins who followed towards such a knight rushed without a word.

Suga Gak!

Explosive swordsmanship.

However, contrary to his determination, the sword of the old knight could not stop the assassins.

Two assassins mark and push the old knight away while the rest of the assassins pass through the open door and rush towards the prince.

“ His Majesty the Prince!!”

The old knight, who turned his back on the assassins he was dealing with as if he didn’t mind giving up his own life, ran towards the prince.

But the assassins moved much faster than the knights.

Tadat!

An assassin who arrived in front of the unconscious prince in an instant with light footsteps as if walking on water raised his sword.

The eyes of the assassin without any emotion.

He did not wonder who the man in front of him was or why he had to die.

I just do it because I have been commissioned.

Finally, the assassin’s sword fell towards the prince’s heart.

“ No way!”

It was at that moment that a cry like a scream erupted from the mouth of the old knight, Fredo.

That moment.

Everyone there could see it.

The heart of the prince targeted by the assassin.

The tip of the sword that stopped without being able to advance any further right in front of such a heart.

soo much!

Was it even fixed in space?

Even though the assassin holding the sword was giving his temple strength enough to draw blood, the tip of the sword could not move forward even one inch.

“… … !”

When the strange sight first aroused agitation in the eyes of other assassins.

The closed eyes of the prince slowly opened.

As if looking at the surface of a lake where even the breeze does not blow, the eyes are still and languid.

It was a look he had never seen before.

slowly.

The prince’s eyes, which rose as he pushed the tip of the assassin’s sword in front of his heart with his finger, scanned the scene in the room.

As if trying to figure out everything that happened right now.

“ Zion… … majesty?”

When a mysterious voice comes out of the old knight’s mouth, looking so different from the prince he’s had until now.

“ Kill it.”

Pavabat!

Only then did the assassins come to their senses and start running towards the prince again.

The prince still looks at the rushing assassins with languid eyes as if he has nothing to do with him.

The moment when the swords of the assassins, who finally reached right in front of them in an instant, were about to strike the prince’s neck.

Shrek-

There was darkness around.

and.

Bubbly bubbly!

The heads of the assassins rushing with him began to explode.

Soon after, the bodies of the assassins who lost their heads fall to the floor helplessly, and the bright red blood that flows from them stains the floor.

What is happening?

“… … .”

An old knight looking at his master with a blank expression as if he could not understand this situation.

Looking into the room dyed red with such a knight.

“ It’s fun.”

Sion, no, the iron-blooded Taeje that dwells in Prince Sion’s body, smiled lightly.
