Chapter 6

"Damn! I'm hungry"

Kim Jong hyuk complained. can't wait to dig into the foods already.

"The sui academy prepared a special feast for us. The food here is topnotch! I think they have been waiting for our arrival"

Harold tried to compose a conversation with kim Jong hyuk and finally succeeded.

"Let us go then"

Kim Jong hyuk is riding with Harold's carriage as he doesn't have any soldiers or attendants with him. They will arrive tomorrow morning at the capital where sui academy is. apparently this east shore is pretty far from the capital. The priest choose the east to avoid people knowing the crown princes arrival. People would flocked over them.

"Wake me up if we arrive" kim jong hyuk order like his ordering his servant.

A big sigh came out to Harold's mouth.

'Now i need to baby sit a crazy younger brother '

Kim Jong Hyuk laid down at the soft carriage

It's softness is like the same mattress on his tomb.

'Come to think it. They looked all shiny and expensive from their outfits, like a medieval age? Is that a normal dress code here?'

Kim Jong hyuk fell asleep after a short thinking.

'Well, Whatever! let's dream about a delicious feast'

—

The carriage suddenly stopped.

"Your highnesses!-"

"Sshh!"

Harold immediately silence the soldier while looking at the the sleeping kim Jong hyuk. The soldier spoke at a mild tone.

"B-bandits! Too many of them"

Harold got off the carriage slowly without making any noise.

"Fenrir"

Harold called out his summon. emitting a light aura out in his arms. a white tattoo glowed then a white wolf adult emerge.

"Clean up those thieves silently"

The wolf bowed as it understand the masters order.

From the front approximately forty people wearing an armor with axe and pixie. These vicious bandits are called the beru's bandits.

They are famous from the Sui island. robbing any carriages they encounter . But their leader Beru is not here with them.

"Hand over all valuables or get killed by us. No negotiations"

One of the bandits shouted as they started to lick their mouth and smile viciously at the soldier and attendants.

Harold walk up to face the bandits.

Fenrir activate his power. "Thunder roar" a strong electric current hits the bandits making half of them wipe out.

"Ackk-!!"

The sounds of cries could be heard in the middle of the night.

"W-What? A summon?" One of the bandits, second in command Heron could not believe what he sees. Seeing Harold with a demeanor aura plus that summon, he couldn't be wrong!

"Why is a royalty here?"

All the bandits heads twisted to look at him. Fear erupted from the bandits. Couldn't believe what he just spouted.

How could they target a royalty? It will be suicide for a normal person like them! A royalty is blessed with gaia's tattoo. only their leader beru could face them.

Beru is a fallen arrogant dirty noble. He was strip to power due to a manipulation and extortion of taxes. But still as a noble he is blessed with gaia's tattoo.

Heron sneakily tap his ring. It's a secret device used to contact beru.

"Persist! Beru's on the way."

The bandits morale high up when they heard what heron shouted. Picking up their weapons.

"Attack!"

The soldiers swords aim at the bandits as they collided with them. It's a one sided battle the bandits attack are not pushing the soldiers down.

"Die you fucking royals!" Heron shouted at the top of his lungs while fighting Fenrir and staring at Harold.

"Kuwaak-!"

"Mr. Heron!!"

Fenrir bit heron's left arm and twisted.

His left arm is now on Fenrir's mouth. Heron's face distorted at the pain of losing his arms.

"Damn! Damn! Damn you!" He shouted again at harold. But Harold just give a bored face.

Harold sighted. thinking that any moment that crazy devil would wake up because of this much noise.

Harold stiffened. He felt a mysterious aura nearing.

The bandits started to laugh.

"The leader is here! Mr. beru!"

A guy approximately in forties is in front of Harold.

The other princes that staying in the carriage also felt the aura. They all get off from the carriage and walked up to where Harold is.

"A noble. I know him! He got stripped of power and was exiled by father."

Noah spoke up.

"It's been a while your highness noah"

Beru's face full of hatred and a question.

'Why is crown prince noah here? It doesn't look like he's with a sui soldiers. And those three with him that emits a strong demeanor. Who are they?

Many questions made beru sunk in deep thought.

But Noah gave an arrogant smirk at beru. Basically an expression of looking at an insect with disgust is what beru could see fit. It made beru drive to madness.

"Arrogant fake crown prince you'll die here!"

Beru summon his spirit. A two headed hydra!

Harold instantly gasped. The enemy is a fallen noble who is older and has much experience to fighting than them.

'This would be quite hard. '

Meanwhile Levi sneakily get to Harold's carriage where kim jong hyuk is sleeping.

The soldiers immediately stopped at the attack. The bandits leader is also a summoner! This would get them in a hard situation. The princes has no experience in a real battle yet. Their real escorts the knights are at the sui academy awaiting for them per the overseer order.

The soldiers and attendants who served the princes are not from the princes kingdom they are soldiers from the overseer. Tasked to safely escort and monitor the princes.

They could fight the bandits but a noble summoner would be too much for mere soldiers.

'We could just pray to goddess gaia that the princes can defeat this fallen noble'

But overall they are just kids!

"Violet poison"

A dangerous poison spit from the hydra attacked the soldiers.

"Protect the princes!"

One of the soldiers could not dodge the attack and thus his body melted while crying for help. A gruesome death could be seen and terrified the other soldiers.

"One spit and we're all dead if that hits us!"

In a flash beru run towards noah and strangle his neck up. Noah struggle to breathe, his eyes filled with tears at the sudden attack.

"Hahah! Can't believe that i would meet you here! It's really a precious day! That arrogant king, you're father! A very disgusting human!"

Shouted at the struggling noah.

Beru's plan is to kill the son of the king who made his life miserable! A revenge.

Harold immediately run towards them but the

Hydra caught him by it's tail and strangling his body. His veins almost pop out because of the strong grip of the hydra's tail.

Harold immediately start to gather mana around his body and fusing to the summoned wolf. It will be a gamble.

"Wolf fusion"

Beru's eyes lift up. 'A fusion at his young age?!'

He could not believe how this young lad do the transformation. A transformation fusion. It's when the summon gets to merge with the summoner's body. But to this you need a full control of mana. Mostly adult thirty and above could accomplish this technique to control the mana in their bodies.

"Interesting!HAHAH this is really interesting "

Beru's laugh could be heard throughout the forest.

His sharp claws struck at the hydra's tail losing it's gripped and now wiggling in pain.

Harold's speed could not be seen in naked eyes.That's how fast his Fenrir is.

"Die!"

Aiming at beru's head. A sharp fangs from Harold's mouth jump to seize beru's head. Harold gave everything to this one attack.

"Your highness dodge!"

"Ack!"

Almost! Harold's arm almost cut off if he did not dodge! But he got small hit in his hips.

'Damn!' Blood dripping from his hips making him weak. He can't maintain his fusion and end up in his original body.

Immediately Harold know he lost the fight. He looked at beru and noah.

Soldiers are now losing hope. The other princes could not yet summon their spirits as they still can't control their mana.

"Ugh!- stop!- hek"

Prince noah is slowly losing consciousness. At this rate he is gonna die!

Suddenly a loud bang of a gun can be heard shot to beru's left hand holding noah's neck.

"Bursto! Nice shot hahah"

Beru's left hand burst. Blood and flesh shattered at Noah's face. His left hand still intact at noah's neck. Then he realized beru's arm cut off.

At a distance not too far. kim Jong hyuk's laughing face could be seen.
