Chapter 50

“I knew it!”

Unable to read the sticky atmosphere, Adam glared at Holly and clenched his fists. Seeing that, Cahill looked at him disapprovingly and hid her behind him.

“Your Highness is the one who will become the greatest King of Isen. You can’t get caught in a place like this.”

As Adam screamed, Holly’s face twisted subtly. From what he said, it seemed that she was the one preventing him from becoming King.

“Did I tell you that I would be king?”

Adam’s eyes went blank at Cahill’s rather nervous voice. When Holly found out he was a prince not long after they met, Cahill said he had no intention of becoming king.

‘Looks like that man didn’t know.’

The blond man’s face went blank at Cahill’s tone, which showed he had no intention of becoming king. Kneeling down to his knees, he looked a little pitiful.

“Why, why would you say that… If a person so great as to be called the second coming of the First King does not become king, who will be able to sit in that seat…!”

Cahill looked up at Holly, with Adam crying out. The exasperated cry seemed to give him no inspiration at all.

“The subject of this trip is Holly. If you want to join in, ask permission.”

As he uttered firmly, the right to decide was given to her. Holly suddenly began to feel burdened.

“Now is not the time to spend time with a meaningless woman. Please, come with us.”

Adam was almost clinging on. Holly, feeling uncomfortable in this position, slipped away from Cahill’s side.

“Can you make a fire without magic or storage stones?”

Cahill said something out of the blue to Adam.

“What?”

Adam asked back with a puzzled face hearing the sudden question.

“Holly can do it.”

Cahill was proud of himself when he said that.

‘What was he being proud of….’

Holly’s face flushed with embarrassment. It was nothing special, but she was a little ashamed yet also liked it, seeing him, who took pride in it. Meanwhile, Cahill continued to brag to Adam about what she could do as Holly took another step away from the two of them.

As Adam begged him to leave together, Cahill told him to ask Holly for permission. There was a spear that could pierce anything and a shield that could never be pierced.

Holly, who had been looking at the two with slightly tired eyes, turned around when she felt a presence from the side. Suddenly, as Badin was right next to her, she winced, thinking he might threaten her like Adam.

“His Highness Cahill is the only King’s son, and he has the greatest power ever.”

With his eyes on Cahill, Badin suddenly spoke. He looked like it didn’t matter who was listening or not. Holly, who was preparing to run away, cleared her throat and corrected her posture.

“In terms of his abilities, no one has been able to beat His Highness since he was born. No doubt he was the next king candidate.”

The words matched Cahill’s previous boasts about himself. Badin glanced back at her. It seemed right to tell her about him.

Badin confirmed that Holly nodded before he continued his words.

“However, there is no way that the people or nobles will recognize a person who has not had a proper coming-of-age ceremony as an adult. Someone who’s not an adult cannot be king.”

At his words, her eyes widened. Aisen’s coming-of-age trip seemed to have more significance than she thought.

“Aside from His Highness Cahill, Aisen has four other candidates, one of whom is already a recognized adult. Though far below His Highness Cahill in strength, in other ways, they are competent. As the nephew of the king, he is aiming for His Highness Cahill’s position.”

Holly, who had been concentrating on Badin’s voice, even breathing carefully, inhaled. Cahill said that the assassin had been looking for him even before they came to the village.

“Is he the one who sent the assassin to Cahill?”

“…Did an assassin come on the way?”

Badin asked in an unchanging voice as if it were a matter of course like the night had gone and the morning had come. Holly gazed at him with a frown of displeasure.

“His Highness has never been interested in the position of king. Some people dismiss it as imperfect abilities.”

“An imperfect ability…?”

She asked again, thinking that the title did not suit Cahill. To her, Cahill was a man with a great ability to laugh off any threat.

“His Highness Cahil already had an aura that surpassed that of an adult in his body even before he was born.”

Badin continued, moistening his lips with his tongue as if his mouth was burning.

“His Highness has numerous control tools attached to his body to protect his weak body compared to his abilities.”

Listening to his words, her eyes widened at the words that followed. A picture of control tools clinging to the small, fragile body appeared in his mind.

“As his body grew, he took out the control tools, but maybe because of that, he’s not good at handling his abilities.”

Badin frowned at her as if he had been attacked by Cahill’s clumsy ability.

“There are many people who are more supportive of Athlone, the cousin of His Highness Cahill, who is easier to handle. Perhaps even the assassins were sent by them.”

It was like saying that the threat to he could continue until Athlone became king or made him king.

“Cahill didn’t seem to want to be king. Shouldn’t he be the one who just wants to do it?”

When Badin stared at her, Holly lowered her eyes. Somehow she felt like she had said something stupid.

“Will a man who becomes king after a quarrel leave his enemies behind?”

Without even thinking about it, the answer to that question came her my mind. Holly’s face was drained of their blood.

“I have to get rid of the consequences.”

I remembered what Cahill had said when killing the assassin. That was also true of the King’s candidates.

“Her Majesty chose Adam as the watcher.”

“Are you going to convince Cahill so he can finish the coming-of-age ceremony?”

Cahill was the King’s son. Whether it was a king, noble or commoner, his parents all wanted to put their child in a good position.

Holly nodded her head thinking it could be the way.

“Her Majesty is neither a benevolent king nor a benevolent mother. If His Highness Cahil goes against the King’s will to the end, she will throw His Highness away.”

She raised her head automatically and glanced at Badin’s face. Her eyes were trembling slightly.

“He is her son.”

“A candidate for the next king.”

Her chest tightened as if something had been put on it. It seemed that this was not a friendly family relationship either.

‘…To think that she would throw out her child because he doesn’t live the way she wanted.’

Holly’s face flushed red with anger.

“To be king or not, that is the next question.”

“First of all, he has to become a proper adult.”

She said, catching her quickening breath. If the coming-of-age trip weren’t properly completed, Cahill wouldn’t be recognized as an adult, and then he wouldn’t be crowned king. Furthermore, if he failed to become king, he would be killed by his rival.

…It was a very simple and tragic ending.

‘Cahill is going to die.’

She couldn’t believe it. She didn’t even want to imagine it.

‘What on earth did that guy believe in to be so carefree?’

Fear soon turned to resentment of Cahill. On the other hand, Cahill didn’t even notice that Holly was glaring at him as he was still arguing with Adam.

“I have a different opinion from Adam.”

At Badin’s words, Holly suddenly raised her head.

‘I don’t think that means he doesn’t want Cahill to be king…’

“Now, only you can act as His Highness’ reins.”

Badin had a calm face and was well aware of the situation. Cahill was chasing Holly wherever she went, so he just needed to route her to the side he needed.

“I will give you enough gratitude.”

Holly thought seriously about his words. Now, she knew how many dangers lurked on her journey. Adam said it was because of Cahill but not Sharif’s Ahmed.

‘Earn money, get an escort for free.’

Besides, that escort was a prince, a nobleman. Holly clamped down on the corner of her mouth that was trying to soar to the sky.

“How much can you give me?”

She raised her chin with the utmost haughtiness. It was time for negotiations.

The next moment, Holly handed Adam a note with what she needed.

“Then, get the things written here. For four people.”
