Chapter 269

Leon Frazier made a dumbfounded expression for a moment. Then he looked at his older brother as if seeing a stranger before shrugging his shoulders.

“Ah. Right. The Sacred Tree’s power was inside your soul, older brother.”

Leon Frazier grumbled, “So it was only natural that you’re smarter than me.”

Klaus frowned.

“Unlike you guys, I’m purely from the Summer Continent, and now I’ve completely inherited the Wolf King’s name.”

As the Crown Prince of Lupinus Kingdom, Klaus had access to much more information.

“While pursuing the heretics, I learned about the Sacred Tree’s secrets. I just thought I should tell Tulia about it.”

It really wasn’t a big deal.

Since the Sacred Tree Beta Crucis had already become an ominous existence, there were royalty from the Summer Continent who argued that burning it would benefit the Summer Continent.

Beta Crucis was a dead tree, massive in size like an old stump.

But Klaus knew that Tulia was the successor to this Sacred Tree. So he didn’t want to burn it.

Therefore, as Crown Prince, he unilaterally seized the territory where that Sacred Tree belonged, prepared to face whatever punishment the King would impose.

After the Hania Tribe’s destruction, that land had been a kind of neutral zone, but Klaus’s action caused small chaos among the Summer Continent’s kingdoms.

As a result, the Hania Tribe’s land became property of Lupinus Kingdom.

The Hidalgo (nobles) of Lupinus Kingdom were excited about the territorial expansion, but the King was stern.

“Since you started a territorial war on your own, you will kneel before the Sacred Tree for one month.”

Klaus obediently complied.

He slept leaning against the Sacred Tree and woke up leaning against the Sacred Tree. He spent almost the entire day kneeling before the Sacred Tree.

If this Sacred Tree had been intact, then Tulia would have lived as the Hania Tribe’s successor.

If so, wouldn’t she have met him, a prince of Lupinus Kingdom, before any other guys?

What was she doing now?

Was she thinking of me at all?

With such thoughts, he pressed his forehead against the Sacred Tree despite his aching knees.

Hoping she was safe, at least.

Then at some moment, strange letters appeared in the air. At the same time, buried memories vividly surfaced.

You were the first to recall forgotten memories!]

[A-grade achieved!]

[Special wish ticket granted!]

With the wish he obtained then, he couldn’t bring himself to wish for anything else.

He only felt that he had to tell Tulia everything, to her who knew nothing.

“That’s how it was.”

Klaus spoke only of the situation, excluding emotions.

Honestly, that blond guy Benjamin or whatever standing far away was disgusting to look at, but what could he do.

That guy was probably here because Tulia wanted him here, so he couldn’t tell him to get lost.

Leon Frazier frowned for a moment, then suddenly pulled back the small cloth attached to the military barracks.

As the cloth serving as a window was pulled back, wind gently blew in.

At the same time.

“Crown Prince of Lupinus. Can you see that too?”

Klaus’s pupils dilated like a wolf’s.

Countless creatures.

And the letters floating above their heads…

“I can see it.”

“Wow. You can see it too.”

When Leon called for people, two men came running in frantically.

“Your Highness Crown Prince!”

“Do you know how long it’s been since you woke up? We really thought Your Highness had passed away!”

They were Klaus’s subordinates.

“Hey. Can you guys see that above their heads?”

“Pardon? What do you mean?”

“Oh. Never mind. Go outside.”

“Pardon?”

“I have something left to discuss with your Crown Prince?”

“Pardon? Yes…”

When Leon mercilessly kicked out the subordinates, the military barracks became quiet in an instant.

He glared at the creatures outside and said.

“That’s magic that only successors can perceive.”

Klaus immediately asked back.

“How do you know?”

“Because His Highness the Crown Prince of Sorsen over there told us so?”

Klaus glanced at Benjamin. Benjamin didn’t even look at Klaus.

Since they were rivals for each other from the start, there was no reason to view each other favorably.

However, Klaus had also learned through the ‘past’ that Benjamin’s birth mother was a famous Grand Mage of the Summer Continent.

“I don’t know why we can see that, but it’s probably thanks to Tulia anyway.”

It was a groundless, doting statement, but at least no one here would argue about Tulia.

However, the two Crown Princes couldn’t take their eyes off the pink hair visible through that tiny gap.

The creatures hit by arrows under her command all had a special characteristic. Namely, the letters floating in the air above their heads read ‘A-grade’.

So they just needed to attack only those creatures…

“…”

Leon Frazier suddenly felt mischievous.

Honestly speaking, he wanted to gouge out the eyes of both this guy and that guy. Since he couldn’t do that, he decided to at least gouge them out with words.

“But what are the Crown Princes going to do now?”

Leon crossed his arms and tilted his head.

“Our girl clearly seems to have already lost her heart to another man.”

Trying to steal my younger sibling while the Older Brothers were at the Academy!

It was absolutely unforgivable!

Whether the Crown Prince of Sorsen or the Crown Prince of Lupinus.

Lisian’s expectation that both their expressions would definitely darken was beautifully wrong.

The golden-haired man who had been watching Tulia outside the window the whole time, reminiscent of a sunflower following the sun.

Because Benjamin Fluas smiled brightly.

“Life is long, but a man’s beauty is temporary.”

“…Pardon?”

“Now that Crown Prince has awakened too, there’s no reason to stay here anymore.”

Benjamin gave a light bow to the twins and walked straight out of the military barracks. Before the thick tent cloth could fall, there was a sliding sound.

It was the sound of drawing a sword from its sheath.

“…What is that Crown Prince talking about?”

Leon muttered with a puzzled expression.

Meanwhile, he too was thinking he should head out to battle soon.

Anyway, he had finished talking with Klaus Rosevar, whom Tulia had even sent someone to ask to watch over, and whom he also had quite a few questions for…

He called for people again.

“Take good care of your Crown Prince. We’re going now…”

“Where is our Crown Prince Your Highness?”

“The bed here… Huh?”

Leon looked at the empty bed in confusion.

“Where did he go?”

“Out the window.”

“What?”

Leon’s jaw nearly dropped when he heard Lisian say that Klaus had wrapped himself in bandages and jumped out.

“Brother? Didn’t the physicians say earlier that he was critically injured?”

“They did.”

“But he jumped out? Is he really insane? They say wolf blood flows through him, but is he actually a beast? What am I supposed to tell Tulia if he goes out and dies!”

“The living… cannot defeat… the dead… he said… as he left.”

“What?”

After hearing Lisian’s words, Leon strode up to Klaus’s bewildered subordinates.

“What does that mean? Is that some saying from your kingdom?”

“Well, that’s….”

“Speak up! What does it mean! Does it mean he’s going to commit suicide or something?! Huh?”

The subordinates said in surprise.

“It’s not quite that extreme….”

“Then what is it?”

“It’s something only the royalty who inherited the great Lupinus bloodline say to those with whom they’ve made a companion’s oath, that is, a covenant….”

“…?”

“It means they’ll sacrifice their life for the other person, so please remember them forever… that kind of meaning.”

“Well, ahem. Originally, when those of the great bloodline, the Roshva lineage, make a covenant, they tend to develop somewhat clingy… no, pure romantic tendencies….”

“Wow, seriously. This is driving me crazy.”

Leon Frazier was dumbfounded and ran his hand through his hair. He felt like he might die from disbelief.

“How did only guys like that end up attached to Tulia. Well, her personality is like that too… Huh? Brother? Where did brother go now?”

“He went out with his sword earlier.”

“…Where the hell did I pick these guys up from?”

Leon grumbled as he strapped on his sword and rushed out.

“Right. Everyone’s trying so hard to look good for Tulia! Even so, I’m the closest to her! Honestly!”
