Chapter 300

Wheeeing-!

On the plains about 10-kilometers to the northwest of the Nemesis, the capital of the Baroque Empire .

There was a former mansion of the Count Ebra .

The mansion was spacious and magnificent showing the prestige of the family, which was known to be good during its time .

However, at a point in history, Count of Ebra had been overturned by a traitor and was destroyed, and under the command of the Emperor, the mansion was ruined leaving behind only the cornerstone .

There was a man in those mess of ruins .

The man who was behind the mask was Shaikan .

After escaping from the capital, he crossed the ruins and headed deep .

There was headstone in there .

It was much better maintained, unlike the other place where weeds covered everything, and the ground around that place seemed clean .

‘It has been 25 years, mother!’

Shaikan’s eyes which looked down at the headstone were red with blood lust .

The countess of Ebra was the mother of Shaikan and Reichard de Baroque .

In the past days of the Emperor, there were 3 princes in line for the Emperor title, all three of them enjoyed their days, but after the previous Emperor suffered and passed away from a mysterious death, everyone walked the path of death .

And Rudolf, who became the new Emperor, crushed the backbone of Countess Ebra .

The headstone which Shaikan was looking at belonged to his birth mother, Magdalene, the 3rd Empress .

At first, where his mother was buried was totally unknown .

However, at the library gate, he heard someone say that she was buried in her family mansion .

Shaikan’s mother, Magdalene, was a person of good heart .

She always used honorifics when addressing her maids or court ladies and never liked seeing any animal sick .

Because of that, there were many people who followed her to the Imperial Palace .

‘But with being 1 year as an Empress, my mother wasn’t able to eat . ’

In his memories, his mother was often sick or injured .

It was always stated that the food wasn’t going well with her body, or that she fell down and scratched her body .

Young Shaikan always believed it .

However, now when he thought about it, the 1st Empress must have been jealous .

‘Mother! I am going to tear apart Rudolf and all his followers for a thousand times . So please trust this incapable son of yours and wait for a little more!’

Shaikan, who made a bouquet with the wildflowers from the field, promised .

Anger which couldn’t be hidden from his body . As if his enemy was right in front of him, his eyes were red .

However, the expression soon turned dark .

“Kuek!”

On the other side of the headstone, where a pile of stones was placed, someone gagged .

“Who is it?”

At Shaikan’s shout, a dozen masked men appeared around the area .

With an unknown appearance in front, Shaikan’s eyes looked shocked .

It was because he didn’t know that there were so many people who knew of him being a dragonian .

‘Are they some assassins sent by Rudolf?’

Maybe he thought that the half-brother and captain who past assault had failed might come back and stab him .

Shaikan pulled out his wooden sword from the back .

“Wait! We have no intention of fighting!”

When Shaikan was ready to attack, one of the men hurriedly cut it off .

“Kuk, You come here and expect to be alive? Then you shouldn’t have come to this place . ”

When Shaikan raised his wooden sword again, the man spoke much more .

“We aren’t your enemies . No, we might be on the same side . So just wait for a minute!”

At their begging, Shaikan stopped . With a grin he asked, “Even though you say your are on my side, how come I don’t know you?”

“Well, could you talk with that mask of yours?”

There seemed to be no hostility in the men’s words and attitude .

Rather, Shaikan seemed to be expecting a lot from them .

‘Should I listen for now?’

Shaikan took down his sword .

They were all flustered with stealth, and they seemed to be confident realizing that it was a trick .

He was the Orc hero, the King of Monsters, and a dragon blood inheritor of the God Dragon .

“Understood . But it will be for just a second . ”

Shaikan slowly took off his mask .

His face, exposed under the sun seemed very delicate, it didn’t suit his strong physique at all .

Shining strongly like the black obsidian were his eyes, and face which seemed to be chiseled .

The man who was staring at Shaikan’s face knelt down .

“R, Prince Reichard! You were the prince . Kuek . ”

The masked man began to sound like a happy child .

However, the eyes of Shaikan were still cold .

The man took off his mask in a hurry and began to speak in details .

“I am the standing head of the Count Ebra . Do you remember?”

Shaikan looked at the face of the old man and was surprised .

“You are… Baron Guildman?”

“Yes, that is right! You remember us!”

Although he had turned much older than one could remember, he wasn’t unrecognizable . He was the eldest of all the retainers .

In the past, Guildman frequently met with his grandfather, he was the first person to welcome Shaikan and his mother when they returned there .

“You, you haven’t died?”

According to the information Shaikan obtained from the capital, the Count Ebra was entirely destroyed when the former emperor died and Rudolf got himself crowned .

The Earl of the Count was executed under rebellion, and the retainers were captured or disappeared .

Though there were rumors, no one had ever seen retainers from the Count Ebra .

But the general was alive!

“Have you asked Rudolf to let you live?”

At Shaikan’s question, Guildman shook his head strongly .

“How can I who received the grace of the Count and the 3rd Empress do such an ungrateful thing? The Lord who saw through the crisis of the family used our hands beforehand . ”

“Grandfather?”

“That is right . ”

Guildman, who sighed, started to tell the story from about 25 years back .
