There Was a Porter Who Would One Day Be Called a Prophet

209 – What does your son really say?

“Who are you?!”

“I’m carrying out official duties. Don’t make a fuss and cooperate obediently.”

The Tuscan knights who suddenly arrived began to look at the parchment in their hands and the faces of the people in turn.

“Why are you doing this?! We just came here to eat delicious food with our family!”

“It won’t take long, so quickly turn your face this way.”

Whether it is a national or not.

“What are they? That thing is a knight?”

Sonia muttered in disbelief. Is she unable to tolerate behavior that goes against chivalry as a member of her profession?

It may be new to you, but it was a time when you said you too were a knight.

“The movement line and the command system are a mess. How did you get the training you got?”

She was there.

In an instant, she was transformed into a leader who looked after the sergeants, and when she tripped over their behavior and gave them an admonishment, one of her knights looked back.

“It’s here!”

Soon, knights surrounded the table where we were sitting.

-Jump, jump, jump.

A large man wearing a cloak stepped out among them.

“The great King of Tuscany wants to see you.”

A grumpy-looking man looking at us with arrogant eyes. His bifurcated jaw was very impressive.

‘Huh? ‘Where did you see this guy?’

I say this over and over again, but I don’t remember the face of the extra with the pepper.

‘It was definitely the guy who gave experience points equivalent to 100 soldiers, I guess?’

But I remember the opponent who gave me a lot of experience. After catching that, four people leveled up at once.

“What are you doing if you’re not standing up right now?”

It was a coercive attitude that could not be viewed favorably, but the party members simply reacted indifferently and did not show any sign of concern.

“This shouldn’t be said in words….”

“Where does the dog keep barking?”

There are some kids among us who can’t get over this.

-Jiwoong.

Thalia placed the force field in her hand and glared at it as if it would pop out at any moment.

“Please erase your country from the map?”

The knights also seemed to have heard of her fame or notoriety, and unlike before, they hesitated and retreated.

“…That’s a different story, boss?”

“I heard they won’t be able to attack you easily because diplomatic issues are involved…!”

As the knights were taken aback, the Experience Shuttle opened its mouth with a stern expression.

“…Useless resistance.”

You caught Gao even when he was on the verge of death. Are you playing a bit?

I looked back at Aria at her remark that felt vaguely familiar.

“…What.”

You said something similar to him earlier.

But people are not that easy to predict, so I forgave with a generous heart and gently pressed Thalia’s shoulder, which looked like she was about to lunge at any moment.

“Hey, you little guy. In this hand…”

“Everything is as expected, so stay still.”

Stop.

When I whispered into her ear, she jerked and stopped like a broken doll.

“…Yes.”

I couldn’t help but be shocked to see Mesugaki quickly becoming calm.

What’s wrong with him? Has the long, long period of adolescence finally passed?

If the officials at the Tower of Magic found out about this, it was such a monumental incident that they would designate today as a public holiday.

Anyway, I put Thalia back to her seat, touching her ears and smiling brightly, and stood up in her place.

“I’m sorry about this. Our group is a bit hot-tempered.”

“Hmm, I’m glad there’s someone I can communicate with.”

Experience point for saving his life thanks to me Shuttle cleared his throat and continued.

“Hurry up and pack your bags and follow me. The king is waiting.”

“Oh, really?”

-Tuk.

He still seemed disoriented, so I threw my backpack at his feet.

“…What are we going to do now?”

“No, if you came to pick me up, you have to carry my luggage. Do I have to tell you all that in detail?”

“What, what?!”

“You don’t like it? If you don’t go then.”

I immediately drew a line at the unpleasant answer and sat back down to continue eating.

“How dare you say it’s safe now!”

-Sereung.

I snorted and said at the sight of the knights pulling out their swords in a threatening manner, starting from the shuttle.

“You’re bluffing when you say you won’t even be able to swing it. If you can’t take us, you’re the ones who will get criticized, right?”

Why would a guy who has been abused by his superiors make such a pointless threat in front of someone who has lived his entire life because he is doing well?

“And can’t you see he’s eating right now? I heard he doesn’t even touch the dog when he’s eating.”

“….”

When I took over Thalia’s rhyme and gave her a blow, the knights stood there speechless, like mutes who had just eaten honey.

“Ah, I’m suddenly starting to not want to go.”

“…I’ll be waiting outside.”

The shuttle finally gave up on my continued remarks and had no choice but to pick up my backpack and leave the inn with his subordinates.

***

A Tuscan castle built precariously on a steep cliff.

“Haa….”

The man sitting on the throne sighed deeply.

‘How did I do this….’

He was very uncomfortable with Nero, the king of Tuscany, because he had taken on a difficult task.

-The warrior party should be in Tuscania by now… Come on Nero. How about you represent us and welcome guests from across the Empire?

He was unable to refuse orders that were not Salazar’s orders, so he had to deal with the warrior party alone.

“Why is the Goddess giving me this ordeal?…”

That time when he sighed, revealing his slight resentment toward the goddess.

“…I brought you here as you ordered.”

The commander of the knights, looking somewhat unsatisfied, came in and reported.

“Let me in.”

When the warrior party entered the throne room, he immediately changed his attitude and welcomed them warmly.

“I’m sorry for making you take such a precious step. My name is Nero and Ilrezen Tuscania, who rule here in Tuscania.”

Nero spreads his arms to the left and right and smiles kindly.

“Hey.”

But Thalia, who spoke informally even in front of the emperor, had no manners to show to this outcast king.

“Your precious steps are a mess. Do you know how your men treated us?”

-Hwareuk.

Immediately she places her small fire sphere in her hand and goes into her intimidation.

Good job Mesugaki.

She is truly amazing today. Is this an education corporation or something?

“It looks like our country’s knights were rude in the process of bringing them here. They are dishonorable.”

Unlike the knights, Nero bowed his head and expressed regret.

“If you’re sorry about this, I think that’s it!”

“Who would have thought that He would come without any message?”

But the king was not easily frightened, perhaps because he was the king. Rather, the situation is blamed on us for coming without saying a word.

‘Well, I guess there’s nothing he can do about it.’

I understand why Nerowa appears like that. No matter how scary the Empire is, geographically Saldena is closer.

It is natural that the fist of the gangster right in front of you feels more scary than the stick of the people. Considering that guy’s personality, it was probably just grumpiness that blew the wind into that shuttle.

“Come on, let’s sit down and talk instead of standing like this.”

It wasn’t a mistake, so I took Thalia and sat down.

“To get to the point, I asked to meet you because I was curious about what purpose you had in coming to the western lands.”

“I don’t know what you’re so curious about, but we are currently on our way to the Holy Kingdom.”

When the hero, who had now become an expert at lying, answered without changing his expression, Nero’s expression brightened.

“Is that so? That’s good.”

“I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to stay in the West.”

“Well, wasn’t there a mistake we made?”

Nero brought up his past rebellion against the empire.

“At that time, the West suffered a great blow due to our wrong choices. It can be considered a miracle that we were able to stand up like this now. Isn’t this all because the Goddess took pity on us?”

If you just listen to what I say, you’ll think that some kind of miracle on the Han River has occurred.

“It’s all thanks to my father’s mercy…”

Aria is in a situation where she even changes her teeth. Even her saintess is tilting her head and saying goodbye.

“It’s enough to make that mistake once. However, it is also true that memories from that time are fading, so I hope you understand that your existence is considered a threat.”

It was wrapped in a lot of difficult words, but in the end, it was said that he was anxious because he was worried that he would be beaten again because he was reminded of his PTSD from being beaten before.

After that, the warrior’s questions continued, but Nero and I just escaped like a loach, and ended up leaving without much success.

“I hope you have a great time in Tuscania.”

Nero sees us off with a friendly smile.

Would you like to come out soon?

“Well, I have one insignificant talent.”

Just before leaving the throne room, she turned to him and opened her mouth insinuatingly.

“You’re so talented… I’m really curious about that.”

At first glance, the attitude of telling me to hurry up and get out of here passed me by.

Can you really do that even after hearing this?

“Son… So, aren’t you worried about the prince?”

Then Nero’s expression hardened for an instant.

“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“No, why? The more you grow, the more you feel like you don’t resemble yourself or anything like that.”

“…That’s a really funny joke.”

“Was it not that good? Hey, I got this completely wrong. Don’t worry about it.”

I smiled sheepishly and turned my back.

I was leaving the castle gate like that. Thalia asked, tugging at her collar.

“Ian. What does that mean at the end?”

Because of the height difference that caught her attention rather than her excitement, she almost raised her head and asked with her bright eyes.

“Hmm. Well?”

“What~! Tell Thalia too!”

“hahahaha. There is such a thing.”

I left behind Thalia, who was flinging Dempsey Roll with her small hands, and looked at the castle gate closing tightly.

Well, I left the bait behind.

***

“Haa….”

The warrior party left, but Nero seemed to be in even bigger trouble for some reason.

‘How did you know that… ?’

Last moment. The words left by the unknown man lingered in my ears.

-No, why, the more you grow, the more you feel like you don’t resemble yourself or anything like that.

It was said to be a dull joke, but in reality it was not at all.

It is an unmistakable fact that he does not see himself in his only son who will succeed him.

“Hmm….”

He groaned to himself and then put his hand into his chest.

-Let’s take a look at the employees who came in around the time your son was born.

A small note left on the doorstep by the man who added to his own anxiety.

It was all bullsh*t, like I guessed it wrong or something. Otherwise, there would be no reason to leave a message like this.

“Is there no one there?”

“Did you call me, Your Majesty?”

The subordinate who had been assisting him all this while bowed and approached him.

If you’ve grown older together, you’ll definitely remember it.

“Do you remember the servants who entered the palace 10 years ago?”

“Are you talking about 10 years ago?”

“Yes. Exactly 10 years, no more, no less.”

“Hmm… I know that there is only one person who started working in that year and has continued to work until now.”

“Take him out immediately.”

“I understand, Your Majesty.”

Not long after the subordinate left, one of the servants he remembered came in with a nervous look on his face.

“…I heard you were looking for me.”

The feeling of helplessness as soon as I see that face.

I had passed it by without thinking, but when I looked at it like this, it seemed like I could see my son everywhere.

“Why are you calling me this?”

Just then, the queen was bringing the prince in, and when they faced each other, she was startled and covered her mouth.

“Ah, Abama….”

It seems like he already knew, judging by the confusion on his son’s face.

‘Yeah, I’m glad I knew that.’

After shaking off the remaining regrets, Nero turned his back and walked to the window.

-Sereung.

Soon, the sound of a sword being drawn and armor clanking echoed behind me.

“Honey! Let me explain everything! This is…! aaah!”

“Ah, Abamaaa!!”

Now it has become someone else’s home. No, I leaned on the terrace while listening to the screams of those who were strangers from the beginning.

‘If they had kept their mouths shut like they are now, I would have definitely handed over the throne to someone else’s bastard…’

It was truly funny. The royal blood that has been passed down from generation to generation is almost cut off in my generation.

“Whoa….”

The cool sea breeze that always solved my worries had no effect today.

Sigh.

Instead, he opened the small piece of paper in his hand and read the last part.

-I’m starting to get sick of the warrior party, but it seems like we can have a good relationship.

This is a sentence full of composure, as if he knows everything.

I’m sick of it. Are you saying that these formidable beings are nothing more than entertainment?

I began to become more and more curious about his identity.

Is he an apostle sent by the goddess, or is he a devil who just wants to see me despair?

-Hwioo.

A sharp wind blew, but the sea breeze was no longer something he could rely on.
