199. Treasure Hunt (1)

Two years have passed since then.

A lot of things have changed since then. As the opening policy was implemented in earnest, the doors of the tightly closed country were opened and exchanges were held with numerous neighboring countries.

The undersea tunnel connected to the Kanas Empire was successfully commercialized, and a second tunnel was being built to connect the southern islands.

The first contribution to solving the funds and materials needed for large-scale development in a short time was the Magic Stone, which was buried in the sea mountain range.

Although the amount of Magic Stone was huge enough to form a magnificent mountain range under the rough waves, it could not be wasted continuously, so Zereira was slowly adjusting its usage.

Among those changes, the ones that caught the most attention were the royal family members.

Razier, the mainstay of the royal family of Zereira, has grown into an 18-year-old boy, and his only younger brother, Princess Charerine, is now three years old.

“Oh my brother!”

Charerin, who was playing with a shovel digging in the sun outside, found Ragier passing by and ran to Tototo and hugged him.

“Hello, knight!”

“Hello.”

Hwi-on was politely courteous even to the little princess. While the two exchanged greetings, Lazier looked at Char Erin’s outfit and made a puzzled expression.

“Eh? Shar, what did you play today to make it so muddy?”

“Eat the ground!”

As Char-Erin grew up year after year, she heard praise for her pretty appearance as much as the praise Prince Razier had when she was young. Besides, he was very clever, and he was already able to speak like an adult, showing his extraordinary appearance.

Princess Charlene liked to play outside from the time she started walking alone. It was a temper far from being meek at all.

I didn’t even know that he grew up that way because the people he met frequently around were Razier and other demon dragons, as well as demon dogs and magic knights.

“Why are you holding a shovel when you say you’re eating the ground?”

“Wow. Build a castle with this.”

“castle?”

“Yep. to the siege Destroy the enemy team’s castle by throwing stones. Then win!”

For a three-year-old child, he was playing quite aggressively. Razier, who learned about the new concept game of siege land grabbing, exclaimed with laughter.

“so? Did you win?”

“Damn! How to win.”

“Good job.”

Razier, with a satisfied expression on his face, stroked his younger brother, who was hanging wide from his legs.

Then Aristide, who had been covered in dirt with the princess, staggered towards her. He suffered so much as a playmate all day that he even lost his cheeks.

“Ugh. His Majesty, you keep complimenting me like that, so your hobbies develop in a strange way, don’t you?”

“What is strange? If you are a princess of a country, you should be able to play the game of winning.”

“We need to educate them that losing games are meaningful enough!”

“What is lost is what is lost. Meaning is bullshit!”

Razier looked down at Charerine and said, without even hearing Aristide Ten’s loyal appeal.

“Char, if you want to hear my praise, you must win. life is practice Winning is the best.”

“Yes, Oppa.”

“Ah! Majesty. please!”

The princess, wearing a tee with a hooded chick in pumpkin trousers with rubber bands, grinned even with a dusty face.

It was clearly different from the princesses of other countries. Char Erin preferred clothes that were good for running around like this rather than skirts or dresses with pretty frills.

Even her sweet chocolate milk-colored hair, which turns slightly red when exposed to sunlight, was tied up and tied together without drooping. It was because it was so much more convenient.

“Char. Did you eat lunch?”

“no! I have been waiting for you, brother.”

“Wait knowing when I will come. Next time you are hungry, eat first.”

Razier, who has reached the age of 18 at the age of 18, has been very busy lately. Apparently, since he became the main axis of the world, there were a lot of people looking for it.

Now, Zereira was not just an island nation, but served as a center connecting the southern islands and the western continent as well as the brother country Kanas.

So, Razier would usually have meals separately to attend meetings or to process approvals. In the midst of this, Char Erin became famous as a stubborn person who waited patiently for her brother to come.

At the age of three, the will was so strong that he would not even eat without his brother.

Even now, the little princess couldn’t even say she didn’t like it, and only her lips were trembling.

Ragier was the only one who could stop Char Erin, who had once had her stubbornness activated. Even the parents, the royal couple, were pushed out of conversation by their young daughter. Even though he was still young, the adults who came just to comfort the baby went back admiring the cleverness of how he was obstinately judging each and every detail.

“Okay, didn’t you know?”

“Ugh… … .”

“Answer me straight.”

“I see.”

Char Erin finally bowed her head sullenly. It was the moment when Razier looked down at the small chocolate milk-colored hair and smiled silently.

wow.

A strong brilliance erupted from the middle of the garden where they stood. Everyone in the room had to raise their arms to cover their eyes.

– Nathaniel!

Cheonho Sedna, who is familiar with the light, was the first to find someone who suddenly appeared with a friendly voice. Then, Razier, who wrapped Char Erinn and protected it from the shock wave, growled with a voice full of anger.

“… Do not descend from this place. Kill me, really.”

“Ahahaha. Sorry. We were not in a situation where we were looking for coordinates when we moved.”

Her white hair fluttered with feathers.

The servants and knights who recognized him simply bowed their heads and bowed their heads.

It was Nathanael, the king of heaven.

“Long time no see. Lazier.”

Natael, who appeared to be smiling brightly, waved her hand full of joy. But his response back was blunt.

“It’s been a while since I saw you last year. turn it off.”

“Ugh. That’s too much. How dare you be so cold-hearted towards a hyung you meet after a year or so.”

“You sound like a brother. As my older sister says, in this life, I was born far ahead of you, Nathaniel. Gone are the days when you could pretend to be an adult while acting like an older brother.”

Razier coldly dismissed Nathaniel’s brother Ununha’s argument.

“If you think like that, you can’t help it. I think I still miss those days because you called me hyung last time.”

“Shut up.”

“Yeah.”

Nathaniel quietly shut her mouth. It was because I had an ominous feeling that if I scratched the inside of The Lazier, it was a human game and it was about to overturn it. In general, the tip of the heavenly king fits exactly.

Rajer put his forehead on his forehead and let out a long sigh. Then he spoke again in a calmer voice.

“It’s surprising anyway. Did those savvy Elyos elders just let you go out of Heaven?”

“no? I left without talking.”

“What?”

A smirk spread across Lazier’s face, which had been calm at best.

“No, but this tortoise… … .”

“Angel?”

Just before the swear words hit like a bombardment, there was a slender voice blocking the gunfire. Everyone’s eyes turned to the little girl.

“Wow. Are you a real angel?”

Princess Charlene had her eyes twinkling with a bewildered expression.

At the reaction of the child who was too naive, Razier was stunned and remained silent, while Nathaniel blinked in surprise.

‘This child is Lazier’s… … .’

As the younger brother of the human Razier, he was actually a person who had little to do with the Demon King.

However, when Nathaniel said that he was his younger brother, he felt a little affectionate and smiled softly.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Nathanael, the angel who protects Razier.”

“Your brother’s guardian angel?”

“right.”

‘Right dog horn’, Razier murmured in the shape of his mouth.

Nathaniel noticed at this point that the Demon King really cared for the little princess. Nathaniel, who saw Razier swallowing without making a harsh sound, was grinning as the princess approached her with an ecstatic expression and clasped her hands together.

“It’s amazing!”

“Huh? The god Sedna over there is also an angel.”

It was at that moment when Nathaniel, recognizing that the object that Char Erin called a miracle was an Elyos, raised her hand and pointed at Sedna.

“I’ve never seen anyone prettier than my oppa!”

Natael, who was shining in white, had a bare face, not even wearing a mask.

Since he was born, he had the same face as the Demon King Embildon, so Char’Erin’s praise for ‘pretty’ included the Demon King.

In the wind, Razier was engulfed in a strange sense of uneasiness and was silent. Nathaniel, who was silent for a moment, burst into laughter.

“Pu ha ha ha! Thanks for the compliment, princess.”

“Is it cool??”

Char-Erin expressed a strong affinity for Nathaniel, who has white wings. Nathaniel, who was accustomed to handling children, was armed with a kind smile and became close with Char Erin in an instant.

It was around the time when Razier shook his head at a loss of words when he saw the two of them getting along so well.

“Majesty!”

A great nobleman, who had rushed from afar, looked for him, breathing heavily.

“Sir. Today is a meeting you must attend!”

Razier’s brow furrowed at the word meeting. To say that I have to go to a meeting that I did not participate in even when I was a Demon King, only from the position of Prince Zereira. It was more embarrassing than annoying.

“Ah. See you, Princess Charlene.”

“I don’t mind.”

A nobleman who found the princess late and greeted her, this time looked at Natael, who had shiny wings.

“Is the person over there an Elyos?”

“uh. my guest.”

But before Nathaniel could answer, Razier quickly cut off his attention.

“But didn’t you say something was urgent a while ago?”

Unlike two years ago, the Elyos and Asmodians come to the world quite frequently now, so even the nobles did not admire him a little and turned their eyes to Razier again.

“Yes, my lord. Isn’t today the day to hold a videoconference with the Kanas Empire, 5 countries in the eastern continent, and 8 countries in the southern islands?”

video meeting. It was a holographic conference where leaders of each country could exchange opinions from afar without directly meeting through a special driving device developed by Horse Tower.

Although Prince Lazier did not inherit the throne, he is already a key figure in international relations, exerting greater effect than the king. If he misses the meeting, not one or two countries would be disappointed, and Zereira itself becomes difficult to speak out.

‘Is this the only way I can leave Zereira with peace of mind?’

Razier made an open expression with a tired expression on his face. Originally, I was planning to leave when I thought that everything had stabilized to some extent after looking at the business he had touched and how those who signed   were living.

However, as time passed, Lazier’s position became more solid and higher.

Now that even a single meeting could not go smoothly without confidence, Razier was stuck on his ankles.

She tried to hand over all authority and duties to her younger sister, but Princess Charerine, who was only three years old this year, was still small.

‘Anyway, you will never become a king. When Shar is a little bigger, then let’s really leave.’

Lazier repeated the promise he had been repeating for two years in his mind one last time.
