“I didn’t even feel a slightest hint of his presence

.”
The 5th prince is said to have no power over them, but is he this weak-willed? However, considering the setting of the Royal Guard, it may be natural. All of them possess supernatural powers.
“I am a Royal Guard from the first platoon, Nice meeting you.”
“I am also pleased to meet you too.” Raymond replied with a nod.
“Because It was sudden, I couldn’t follow the protocol. I was sent here to pick you up, so if you are angered, please let it down.” the Royal Guard said with his head slightly lowered.
Even when other princes come to the palace, they won’t bother to follow the protocol, but what’s the difference? It’s just lip service.
“Quite angry, this notice just came suddenly. Anyway, never mind that part.”
‘It’s not that I care.’
Before Coming here, the royal guard made some changes to his personal assessment of the fifth Prince. He looked a little surprised, but he didn’t see him clearly because he was covered with a helmet.
“I’ll take you to the dining room.”
“A Royal Guard as Guide

. This is very reassuring.”
Raymond said with a smile on his face. It wasn’t sarcastic, it was actually pure joy.
The voice of the fifth prince, who was full of energy, spread a smile on the lips of the royal guard.
Of course, he wasn’t seen because of the helmet.
“Yes, Your highness the fifth prince. I’ll protect you even if the assassin pops up right away.”
“The shield of the imperial family will never be breached. So I’m relieved.”
What’s the point of being attacked at the palace in the first place? Still, a bright smile spread to the face under the helmet of the captain, as Raymond smiled and thanked him purely.
Even if it’s just a word of goodwill, having this conversation with the Royal Guard itself was not a bad experience.
This isn’t the real fifth prince in front of him now.
“I will protect you even if an assassin from the kingdom of Edgar, the kingdom of night, comes at you, fifth prince.”
There is a three-kingdom alliance who is hostile to the Pilias empire, so it is not possible that the best assassin class of this time, Harsha Xin, is here?
Although this empire was falling, it is still an imperial palace deep within the Imperial City.
‘It’s never gonna happen.’
There was absolutely no way it was going to happen.
“An Attack!”
“The palace has been attacked!”
“Royal guards! Protect the Emperor!”
The empire seemed to have fallen far earlier than Raymond thought.
“Oh, my
.”
He managed to bear the thought of swearing.
It’s been 5 years since he had seen the Emperor’s face, and he couldn’t believe that this would happen when he decided to finally see him.
I’m unlucky enough to have no luck.
He was just a little embarrassed, not scared at all with this current situation.
This is because if he recalled what was written in the book, it is clear that most characters do not lose their lives here.
Above all, the fifth prince, Raymond Pilius, survived the attack on the banquet hall at the beginning of the first volume.
Of course, the loses his life with other royal families at the climax of the first volume where there was a massacre, but at least he will not die yet.
“The knights must protect His Majesty the Fifth Prince!”
The imperial knights, who followed him as attendants shouted at the top of their lungs, drew their sword and surrounded Raymond.
Raymond was embarrassed by the sudden change of situation and tried to open his mouth.
“Is this a royal family member? I’m quite lucky.”
The assassin appeared between space. The empire is said to have fallen, but this is the imperial palace. It was not easy to assassinate the Emperor.
It’s just a powerful reconnaissance to find out the Emperor’s escort, but here’s a royal family. Besides, there aren’t many escorts.
Most of the Imperial Guard and Royal Guard were concentrated on the Emperor.
“It’s my first time facing a Royal Guard.”
The assassin was confident of his victory. Looking at the scene, the Royal Guard opened his mouth.
“An assassin, eh.”
‘Someone sent a real assassin?’
Raymond was freaking out.
“But don’t worry, Fifth prince.”
Srrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The Captain picked up a sword.
“I have promised to protect you.”
He felt determination in his voice.
“The shield of the imperial family is not meant to be broken.”
“I can believe it. I made it before the Royal Guard.”
“I won’t let you down.”
Before that he took a step forward.
As unusual momentum flowed out of his body, the assassin, who was initially confident of winning, was also nervous.
“Is this the Royal Guard’s power?
?”
The moment the assassin muttered in a voice of interest, the sword of his own work was wielded.
A short and sharp small sword also popped out of the assassin’s sleeve.
‘Fast!’
Only after more than 10 clashes between the small and long swords did Raymond notice that the battle had begun.
‘It is clear that the fifth prince is not talented, but I never thought It would be this bad.’
Raymond sighed at the level of the body, which wanted to see the confrontation between the two strong men but did not even see the afterimage of the movement properly.

Although Raymond was one of the villains in the first volume, he had very little involvement in the main story, so there was little narrative in the novel about him. He didn’t know that he wouldn’t be talented.
‘I’m more of an extra, now.’
The character that passes by briefly. After provoking the main character, he was brutally broken and left the scene in a lonely way, and lost his life in a massacre due to the plan to exterminate the royal family members.
‘And that day, the Pilius will be wiped out.’
His thoughts did not last long. This is because it was interrupted by sharp blade fragments sound in front of his feet.
The imperial knights who saw it stepped forward and made a fuss.
“Fifth Prince, Your Grace! You have to back off!”
“It’s dangerous here.”
But Raymond shook his head and opened his mouth.
“I’m not going anywhere.”
It can also be seen as an obstinate stubbornness.
“The lineage of the House of Pilius cannot escape.”
But today was different.
There’s no fool in this place right now. There were only five princes who inherited the blood of the Pilius.
“Fifth Prince!”
“We will risk our lives to protect you!”
The imperial knights made a fuss again.
Whether or not, Raymond did not take his eyes off the two people in front of him.
Even the afterimage could not be read, but the eyes are fixed.
I thought that was a courtesy to the Royal’s own work, which was used as a shield for himself.
“That’s not what rumors say.”
Feeling Raymond’s eye contact, the first run of the Royal Guard was moved.
‘I can’t let you down.’
His own eyes shone sharply before the Royal Guard. He recovered the sword by raising his spirits. Only then did Assassin realize that he had underestimated the Royal Guard’s power.
“Oh, my
.”
When the assassin, who realized his mistake, tried to step back, the sword wielded by the first baseman scattered the oracle.
“Is this the Royal Guard?
.”
It was clearly visible to Raymond’s eyes. Blood spurts throughout the assassin’s body.
He collapsed like a puppet with a broken string.
“Fifth Prince, I’ll take you to a safe place.”
Raymond smiled as he looked down slightly at the palace.
It is said to have fallen, but it is still an empire after all.
No one expected that the defense of the imperial palace, which is considered the safest in the Imperial City, would be temporarily breached.
The invaders’ goal was, of course, the emperor.
More than 30 assassins attacked the emperor, who was moving to the dinner hall for breakfast, but the result was a total annihilation.
Although the palace’s defense was said to have been breached, there were countless shields and royal guards next to the emperor.
It was an attack that shouldn’t be successful in the first place.
The leaders of the empire also judged it not as an attack to kill the emperor, but as a powerful reconnaissance to confirm the defense system of the fallen empire.
“Report the damage to the palace in detail.”
The present emperor, Ronald, was old and sick, but his voice still contained the dignity of a monarch.
The Royal Guard, who was on one knee, raised his head slightly and reported the damage.
“Hmm.”
Ronald’s expression was relieved.
‘I was relieved that the damage was not as serious as I thought.’
The Royal Guard was a little relieved at the sight and spoke again to continue the report.
“

and one of the five princes was attacked.”
“The Fifth Prince was in the Imperial Palace?”
“Yes, he was.”
The emperor, who was keeping calm, was shaken.
“I think he has accepted the Emperor’s invitation for breakfast.”
“Oh
.”
The emperor, Ronald, sent breakfast invitations to the fifth prince, Raymond, every morning. It lasted for five years, but he had not even shadowed the palace.
‘Why did you have to accept this morning’s invitation?’
“Raymond
.”
Moisture came from the eyes of the emperor, who quietly murmured the name of the fifth prince.

“Where is the Fifth Prince now?”
“He is escorted by a Royal Guard and his imperial knights at a safe place near the dinner hall. As soon as the safety of the palace is confirmed, he will return to the fifth palace.”
“No, he can’t return now.”
“Your Majesty?”
His mouth was faster than his mind. Ronald unknowingly uttered his innermost thoughts.
He felt the Royal Guard’s eyes were on him while the guard was continuing the report.
The emperor opened his mouth with a stiff face.
“I’m going to have breakfast. Tell the kitchen to prepare a meal first.”
“Your Majesty! Your safety has not been confirmed yet!”
“Yes! There must be some assassin left.”
The commander of the Royal Guards and the Knights came forward.
“It’s been five years.”
The Emperor’s voice resonates quietly in the Emperor’s room. It was calm but possessed strong power.
The eyes of the men gathered for the escort were on the emperor.
“I can’t even feed my own son for breakfast after five years? Or
.”
Attention was drawn to the commande of the Royal Guard, the Empire Shield’s leader, and the Knights.
“Has the shield of the imperial family weakened to such an extent that I could not protect My own family breakfast?”
The horse became a sharp awl and dug into the hearts of men present inside.
The emperor’s words had many meanings.
‘Is this how the Empire fell?’
He was like asking about this sentence.
And

He still needed to show everyone that the empire is still alive.
His minions understood the Emperor’s will.
“Your Majesty, the Imperial Palace is safe now. We will now accompany you to have safe journey to the dining room.”
He was the Marquis of Blizzard, who replaced a vacant Royal Guard position.
“It’s been five years, hasn’t it? I’ll send more escort to the dinner room for you and the 5th Prince.”
The moment of father-son reunion has come.
“Can you explain it again?”
The 5th prince, Raymond, did not understand the current situation. So he asked the royal knight in front of him to explain.
“We were ordered to give safety to the 5th Prince until your highness reached the dinner hall.”
“Do you mean you sent the entire 6th platoon of Imperial Knights, the entire Golden Heart Knights, just to escort me?”
“Yes, it is.”
He didn’t expect to be escorted by the entire Golden Heart knights of over 20 men.
Raymond never imagined that after five years of not setting a foot on the main palace would have such a huge ripple effect.
‘I can’t take it out like this.
.’
He didn’t expect the palace to be attacked. He wanted to go back to his palace and stay there, but he didn’t expect the emperor to come out like this.
“Fifth princes, Your Grace

.”
Alex next to him carefully urged him to answer.
Raymond wanted to run away, but he didn’t dared to and opened his mouth.
“I want you to take me to the dinner.”
“We’ll keep you safe.”
It’s not far from the dinner hall. Maybe it was because there was an attack a while ago, but there were unusually many armed people along the way.
They finally arrived in front of the Dinner Hall and there were as many as two platoons of Royal Guard members present.
“Your Majesty is waiting for you.”
When the Royal Guard opened the door slowly, speaking in a small voice, a large dining room appeared.
The emperor, Ronald, was sitting at the top of the dinner hall.
“Welcome, son.”
It’s been 5 years since they met. Parental love was smeared from the emperor’s gaze at his son, who returned again.
Breakfast was over quickly. The emperor looked at Raymond with a pleased look during his meal, but there was nothing special to say.
It was the first meeting in five years, but there was little conversation and it was also a daily conversation.
After the meal, Raymond was able to see the emperor standing up first with the Royal Guard with a sad expression.
The emperor was busier than anyone else especially now because the palace was attacked. Even under such circumstances, he took time to eat breakfast with Raymond.
He could see how much the emperor cared about Rayman.
‘But, still the Emperor was old and sick.’
The sun has not lost its vitality yet, but the fact that he is a dying sun remains unchanged.
It was highly likely that the throne would be succeeded by the first or second prince, or the third prince.
[The first Prince, who is talented in swordsmanship, is strong, but his personality is like an angry flame and he is supported by the military and knights. The other Third prince was very talented in magic at a young age, and he is supported by the Magic towers and yellow towers of the MATAP Union, but unlike in the past, he has lost his intelligence and blinded by jealousy towards the other prince, he acted rashly.]
Monarchs supported by wizards and knights are common settings. The problem lies toward the second prince.
[The second prince is unique. He was placed in the darkness of the empire below with overwhelming wealth and insidious schemes. The assassins are behind supporting him.]
A ruler over the darkness of the empire
“What are you thinking so hard?”
‘He’s not a good man either.’
He didn’t expect to appear at the right timing.
The strongest extra ever.
