Grand Duke of the Heibern House

＜Chapter 46＞

A chaotic horse, a first-class demonic beast in the Demon Realm that uses its magical tail to roam the battlefield.

Ruin was constantly injecting magical energy into the tail of such a chaotic horse.

aaang-

The feeling that even the skin is tingling due to the tremendous wind pressure.

As soon as the body bounced off like a bowstring, the space was erased by hundreds of meters, so it was practically equivalent to blink magic.

Ruin, who was advancing in a straight line toward the capital ignoring all terrain features, smiled contentedly.

‘It’s really amazing.’

In the current situation where the state of the previous life has not been restored, the tail of the chaotic horse is a very helpful artifact.

A distance that would have taken a month on foot had been reached in just three days, and Ruin felt much better.

aaang-

When magic was injected into the tail of the chaos horse several more times, a huge castle finally began to appear in Ruin’s field of vision.

Lemardel Knight Castle.

The massive castles surrounding the heart of the kingdom were painted in the turquoise color that symbolizes the royal family of Lemadel.

Ruin, who was watching the long procession of people leading to the gate, opened his mouth with his characteristic dry tone.

“Helagea. I will keep the Chaos Horse’s tail.”

ssssss-

When the gap in the dark space opened his mouth, Ruin thrust the tail of the chaotic horse into it without regret.

Ruin immediately shakes off the remnants of magical power.

– It’s been a long time since there were so many people.

Merchants carrying huge burdens, weary travelers.

Local low-ranking nobles, upstart mercenaries, and colorful wagons of the Wandering Troupe.

Everyone will try to enter the royal castle with their own dreams, but most of them will not be able to achieve their goals.

The place where all the wealth of the kingdom is gathered.

But that opportunity doesn’t go to everyone.

“This is going to take too long.”

There were too many people trying to pass through the gates.

All these people will have to wait until the sun goes down to complete the initiation process.

-Is there any need to worry? If you use the Chaos Horse’s tail one more time… … .

“The royal mages are not fools. The tail of the Chaotic Horse, which exudes the intense demonic energy of the demon realm, is easily chased.”

Suddenly, Ruin estimated how valuable the chaotic horse’s tail was in terms of human currency.

As long as it supports magic power, it means that it can use blink magic infinitely. It was also not easily converted into money.

The fact that it has such a huge artifact is discovered?

It was difficult to endure such relentless greed when he was only in the second rank.

I’m sure he’d be in danger of dying several times before he even reached the academy.

‘hmm… … .’

I couldn’t think of a proper way.

Ruin already felt frustrated at the current situation where he couldn’t claim Bern’s last name.

Inevitably, Ruin mingled with the long procession of people.

How many hours had passed like that?

“Get out of the way! She is the daughter of Baron Biowen!”

A servant holding the reins was leading the long procession with his eyes wide open.

Louin burst out laughing.

Those with even the slightest amount of power are already waiting in the front row.

Even a weak aristocrat who couldn’t breathe in the midst of a strong power could reign like a king in a place like this.

When Ruin, who did not want to stand out, stepped aside with an indifferent expression.

Baron Biowen’s words stopped.

“Why did you just laugh?”

Ruin raised his head and looked at the girl who stopped him.

dark red eyes.

Rich, beautiful black hair.

‘Are you a northerner?’

Clearly, black hair was a characteristic of northerners.

Most of the noble families in the north were subordinate to the Hibern family.

But Luin had never heard of the surname Biowen.

arrogantly raised eyes.

Just like when she first saw Dane, she was looking down at Ruin with an arrogant expression.

Ruin, who did not want to cause a commotion, bowed once and walked through the crowd.

Then, an even colder voice leaked from the mouth of Baron Biowen’s daughter.

“Stop there!”

Ruin’s eyes looked back without a word.

Those eyes, unmoving with emotion, were by no means the eyes of those who were afraid of nobles.

The baron’s daughter became even more angry at the eyes of her opponent who made her heart grow cold.

Chaaang-

“You must have laughed at me.”

As the girl drew the sword from her waist, a red scroll poked out from between her collar.

Ruin’s gaze immediately turned to the scroll.

At the center of the scroll was a yellow seal different from his own.

However, the scroll itself was a letter of recommendation for admission to the Faculty of Magic, no different from her own.

Soon, a brilliant idea popped up in Ruin’s head.

sh*t.

“You see all the funny noble ladies. If you can pull out your sword just because you laughed, how many commoners have you been bullying?”

“You dare to honor the honor of a noble family… … !”

Ruin lightly cut off the girl’s words.

“The honor that nobles talk about usually means a sense of contempt. There’s nothing more ridiculous than putting honor on any emotion, so you’d better stop at this point.”

Insulting the honor of nobles was subject to immediate action.

The girl from Biowenga dismounted and put her sword to Ruin’s throat.

“How dare you, the insignificant vagabond!”

My skinny body from how much I haven’t eaten.

A terribly worn robe, without a single common accessory.

Obviously, the other person must have been a nomadic wanderer hoping for a small luck.

Because Lemadel’s castle occasionally shows favor to vagrants who beg for mercy.

How dare you insult the honor of a baron, considering a wanderer who can sell his soul for a loaf of cold bread!

The moment when the girl of Biowenga, who could not stand it, struck her sword obliquely.

Biowenga’s servant took her hand.

“There are many eyes to see. miss.”

He couldn’t let his master wield the sword recklessly in front of so many people.

The extent to which he scolded him is quite possible for himself.

“How dare you despise the lady of the Biowen family?”

Whoops!

puck!

Ruin silently clenched the fist raised by the servant.

‘This, so easily?’

The servant of Biowenga was startled.

His well-trained fists were easily blocked by his opponent.

With an expressionless face still, Ruin rummaged through Rob’s arms and took out his own red scroll.

“uh… … ?”

From nob le mt l. co m

For an instant, the girl from Biowenga froze.

That must be an academy, and a letter of recommendation for admission to the Faculty of Magic.

In addition, the pattern that sealed the scroll was a symbol of the royal family, unlike himself.

‘A recommendation from the royal family?’

Luin smiled brightly.

“If you decided to become a wizard, you wouldn’t be unaware of the hierarchy of wizards.”

The magician’s hierarchy was not determined by the title or honor of aristocratic families.

The magician’s hierarchy is something that must be proven only through the realm of magic.

Ruin spoke so quietly that only the girl could hear.

“Even if you are a prospective cadet, you are a member of the academy. If you use your secular status to persecute the same cadet, that will definitely be a reason for expulsion.”

“ah… … !”

Ruin continued to wave his scroll at the wide-eyed girl from Biowenga.

While the girl’s eyes were shaking mercilessly like that, Ruin’s wedge-like voice pierced her again.

“Moreover, if you’re a prospective cadet, aren’t the hierarchies the same?”

A girl from Biowenga with a shocked face.

It was a big deal.

Even if I wanted to shut the opponent’s mouth right away, it was already buzzing around.

Since there were so many eyes to see, I had no choice but to settle things as quietly as possible.

“What do you want?”

“name.”

As the opponent stared at her unwaveringly, the girl from Biowenga bit her lip until it bled.

“Shrie Lucine Biowen.”

“That’s a good name.”

Ruin walked without hesitation, grabbed the reins, and soon raised his voice toward the front.

“This is the coming of Shurie, the daughter of Baron Biowen!”

Ruin shouted his name openly, and Shurie’s face quickly turned to earthy color.

What if this news leaked into the academy?

It was very obvious that everyone would point fingers at him for being a prospective cadet who asserted his status as an aristocrat even before he entered school.

“Ha, don’t!”

Shurie hurriedly snatched Ruin’s reins and spoke softly.

“How are you going to shut that mouth?”

Shurie’s earnest gaze as she looked at herself while biting her lips.

It’s like taking out your wallet and handing over all your possessions.

Ruin seemed to like her attitude and took the reins back.

“I got a good guide, but I can’t miss it. Lady, get on the horse again.”

If you keep going like this, you should be able to get ahead, at least until you meet an aristocrat with a higher status than the Baron Biowen family.

As a Ruin, there is no need to wait in line until evening.

Shurie, who had just read Ruin’s intentions, mounted the horse with anxious eyes.

Ruin stared at the servant of the Biowen family.

“You cannot pass through the gates. I think that’s your mission anyway, so it’s okay to go back at this point.”

“Ah, lady… … .”

Shurie nodded at the hesitant servant.

“Do what he says.”

Now, I had to please him as much as possible. There were too many eyes to see.

Ruin took a look at the servant who had an uneasy expression on his face, and began to drive the horse with a strange smile on his lips.

Soon the commotion around them subsided and the procession became busy again.

People were well aware of the dangerous consequences of carelessly taking an interest in the affairs of aristocrats.

“I just came to urinate! Hey, did you see it too?”

“I don’t know.”

Arguments were taking place here and there as people were crowded.

However, all arguments are meaningless in front of the baroness lady’s procession.

It didn’t take long for Ruin to arrive at the forefront of the nobles.

chuck!

“Tell me where you are from and your name, boy.”

A guard knight who blocked Ruin’s footsteps with a long spear hanging diagonally.

In the eyes of the guard knight in charge of entering and exiting the castle, Ruin was a nomadic nomad.

“Louin. There is no last name. I am from Paneom.”

The security driver’s eyes quickly turned into suspicious ones.

Having no last name means being an orphan or a slave.

“Tell me the purpose of your visit.”

Ruin silently rummaged through the inside pocket of the robe and took out a letter of recommendation.

“This is the way to the academy.”

After checking the clear seal surrounding the letter of recommendation, the guard article changed his expression.

Most of the cadets who entered the academy with letters of recommendation had a different status.

Moreover, the seal is the pattern of a turquoise dragon symbolizing the royal family.

It meant that the subject who recognized the extraordinary talent of this boy was the royal family or the magic tower under its direct control.

something that is never common.

The guard knight smiled as he retrieved the spear blade.

“A prospective cadet. Welcome to the royal castle of Lemadel.”

“thank you.”

As if it was no longer needed, Ruin let go of the reins and walked into the castle gate without hesitation.

Shurie looked at Ruin like that, as if it was absurd, then got off the horse.

“Here, I also have a letter of recommendation from the academy!”

Shurie hurriedly presented the letter of recommendation to the guard and entered the castle gate.

“and… … !”

Noisy.

Crowds of all kinds of colors stretched as far as the eye could see.

Shurie hurriedly shouted when she noticed Ruin just blending into the dark crowd.

“hey! you!”

He only looked at them once, smiled faintly, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Shurie froze while holding the reins.

She didn’t know much about this castle.

I didn’t even know which academy was right away.

Soon, Shurie showed indescribable anger on her face.

“What kind of person… … !”
