The Strongest Person in the World Has Been Summoned

26. Crisis!

Yoohyeon looks around while walking down the street under the dark night sky past midnight.

Is it because it is also the capital of a country? Even though the sun was setting in the sky, Yoohyeon thought as he saw passers-by strolling leisurely with magical lights on in the streets.

“It’s more peaceful than I thought..”

Certainly, there will be people who are unhappy even in this peaceful scene, but a country that is at war on a global basis is so peaceful. Is this a belief in safety or just an inertial peace?

As Yoohyeon looked up at the sky, seeing the abyss that still covered the world in a place invisible to the eyes of ordinary people, Yoohyeon fell into sentimental thoughts for a while, and a thought he had forgotten about came to mind.

“Come to think of it, is that child waiting for you?”

Remembering the mysterious pink-haired princess, Yoohyeon smiled faintly.

Remembering a princess who was kind-hearted and kind-hearted, who didn’t look like a child from a family, Yuhyeon slowly moved toward the imperial palace.

Yoo-hyeon, who was still roaming the bright streets and not sleeping, didn’t even think about the fact that it was the time when ordinary people’s daily routine was over. Yoo-hyeon headed for the imperial palace.

“Won’t you come today?”

The first princess of the Midgard Empire, Rebecca muttered as she put down the already cooled teacup.

While waiting for Yoohyeon, she prepared her tea and waited for the tea to cool down by herself several times.

‘It was a bit strange today…’

Today, after Rebecca returned to the imperial castle, she sent her knights escorting her to her temple in case there was an aftereffect she didn’t know about, and she returned to the imperial palace.

First of all, she must have already known that she was attacked, but she went to the emperor’s office to explain everything, and she was Rebecca, who was puzzled by the emperor’s unusual reaction.

As she entered the emperor’s office, as she always did, she sat in an ornate chair, a gray-haired, middle-aged man with bright eyes, Gaylord von Midgard, the Emperor of the Empire and her father, staring intently at Rebecca. .

“..You’re back.”

“Meet the sun of the Empire.”

At the emperor’s words, Rebecca said her goodbyes and approached the emperor.

“Yes, Your Majesty. Even though something unfortunate happened, we returned safely.”

“I heard there was an attack…”

She was Rebecca, who calmly recited the scriptures without much inspiration as she watched her father, who spoke only about business as usual.

“Yes. On my way back to the capital, in a deserted forest, most of the escort knights suddenly attacked me with an evil spell.”

“An evil technique…? What kind of technique?”

The emperor, who would normally have gone as far as “Okay, okay. Let’s send an investigation team,” Asked Rebecca with her eyes shining. They showed the remains of bugs that had come out of their heads.

“This seems to be controlling the knights in their heads. I intend to submit this to the Imperial Knights and Orders in a moment.”

“…! There’s no need for that. Leave it here.”

As she took out her remains, Rebecca’s wonder was amplified when she saw that her emperor’s eyes, though tiny, had enlarged by a factor of 1.3.

‘Your father is that surprised? Even the reaction of wanting to hide something.. I need to find out separately.’

Rebecca, who has a kind but not dull mind, put aside the ominous imaginations that popped up in her head, while the emperor’s question continued.

“But how did you get these? With the escort knights betraying you?”

Seeing that the Emperor, who usually didn’t even care about how she was doing, was asking her questions, Rebecca’s suspicion deepened.

“Fortunately, I was favored by knights who were not affected by magic and summoners passing by.”

“..A summoner? You deserve a reward. Deliver it to the Minister of Finance.”

Rebecca made up her mind to hide Yoohyeon’s identity because of the emperor’s suspicious expression.

“But I’m not sure who the summoner is. I’ve only heard that he belongs to the Mage Tower.”

“..I understand.”

After giving a short answer, Rebecca cautiously spoke to the emperor for a moment so that silence fell on the emperor who began to look at the documents to see if the business was over.

“That…Your Majesty.”

“..What is it?”

Then the emperor’s eyes lifted slightly from the papers and looked at Rebecca as if he had something more to say.

“It’s nothing else, since I felt the lack of means of self-defense in this raid, can I take a useful artifact out of the Imperial Vigo?”

At Rebecca’s question about taking out the artifacts for Yoohyeon, the emperor maintained a longer silence than usual and nodded.

“…Let it be.”

After the business was over, Rebecca greeted the emperor and left the office, and there was silence in the emperor’s office.

Square- Square-

With only the sound of the emperor handling the papers reverberating quietly, a quiet voice could be heard.

“Investigate the Mage Tower. Mainly those who are in the 6th circle or higher.”

Square-

The emperor, who spoke into empty space, stopped his hand as if in agony.

“Is it a variable…”

After the meeting with the emperor, who was suspicious in many ways, Rebecca’s face frowned slightly as she saw the face she met on the way back from the Imperial Palace.

“Meet the Little Sun of the Empire.”

In response to her greeting, a handsome man with a soft impression walked across from her and smiled round and round at Rebecca.

“Isn’t this my lovely little brother! I heard you almost went through a big trouble this time! Are you okay? This older brother couldn’t even sleep with worry!”

The smirking protagonist talking to Rebecca, Rebecca’s half-brother and the heir to this country, the 1st Prince, at the words of Robert, Rebecca straightened up and stepped back from her.

“It’s okay. Prince, I’m fine, so please go on your way.”

Since her childhood, Rebecca, who has hated Robert for her pretentious over-kindness to herself, has blatantly avoided him.

“Ah.. My younger brother is avoiding this older brother just because he is all grown up.. This older brother is sad.. When I was young, he said that my older brother was the best..”

It was certainly true that when she was little, she liked Robert, whose mother had died and who was the only one who was kind to her.

But after he found out his true face, he felt a great sense of betrayal and tried to avoid contact as much as possible.

Rebecca thinks she’s out of luck and she’s about to get out of here.

His words passed Rebecca’s ears.

“Be a little safer next time! Little brother. What would you do if Sir Dry wasn’t there?”

Goosebumped by his words, Rebecca glanced back at Robert, but he was already past the corner and out of her sight.

‘I didn’t tell anyone who among the knights betrayed me…?’

It’s normal that no one other than the emperor knows the full story of the exact incident, but the prince knows who was manipulated?

Rebecca, feeling that her suspect, who had attacked her in an instant, was pointed at her dauphin, went back to her own abode with her troubled face.

‘I have to be suspicious of everyone in the palace except for those I can trust are on my side.’

First of all, in order to hide Yoohyeon’s existence, Rebecca secretly replaced the knights of the Imperial Knights who were in charge of guarding the imperial castle with her own confidant, waiting for Yoohyeon to come with a little nervousness.

How many hours had passed since the sun had set and the news of Yoohyeon had not come until midnight, so Rebecca, who felt uneasy, was fidgeting with her teacup.

‘What if he just left like this… I thought he was the strongest team that could help me right now…’

As the scarecrow princess, who had no support base except for a few close aides, Yoohyeon was a subject that had to be embraced under any conditions.

‘If Yoohyun-nim isn’t here, should I use this to run away..?’

Assuming the worst situation while stroking the polymorph ring she was supposed to give to Yoohyeon, in the current situation where it was half certain that the person who was trying to get rid of her was the crown prince, Rebecca was baffled.

After all, Yoohyeon didn’t come to visit until late at night, so Rebecca, who decided to sleep for now, didn’t bother calling her ladies-in-waiting and changed into simple clothes alone.

Wheein-

Rebecca felt a cold wind behind her back as she was somehow changing her clothes. Rebecca looked back curiously and saw a half-open door.

Of course, at the door, she felt Rebecca staring at her, the face of which she had waited all day hardened into a bewildered expression, and her thoughts stopped.

“Ah…”

“Um…”

Rebecca regained consciousness no matter how long the strange silence continued. Rebecca tried to scream at her, but barely endured it, remembering the situation that would happen if the other escort knights came, and then quietly spoke to Yoohyeon in a voice filled with her shame.

“Yoohyeon-nim.. Please close the door and turn around.. I am in the middle of changing clothes..”

Yoohyeon, who was momentarily taken aback by her words, barely returned.

“I’m sorry. I never look back.”

Sureuk-

Sarak-

In such a silent room, the sound of Rebecca changing clothes was heard, and Yoohyeon was about to die.

‘Damn… I should have checked the situation in the room…’

Unbeknownst to anyone, Yoohyeon, who infiltrated the castle and followed the energy he put in, confirmed that Rebecca’s presence had not yet fallen asleep, and watched Rebecca’s recovery scene while entering.

“…!”

While Yoohyeon, who was momentarily taken aback, hesitated, Rebecca looked back as if she noticed something strange, and found him.

And now, while Rebecca was changing her clothes, Yoohyeon, who was staring at the wall as if she was being punished, was memorizing the Heart Sutra, which she did not usually find.

‘Maha Prajna Paramilda Heart Sutra…’

A strong man who reached the level of Yuhyeon could pick up the sound of an ant moving within his sight if he wanted to.

Even in such a close distance, the sound of Rebecca changing her clothes, who had become conscious in this situation, put Yoohyeon, who had wielded only a knife all his life, to the test.

‘Azeaze Baraaze…’

Suddenly, when Yoohyeon finished memorizing the Heart Sutra, Rebecca’s shy voice was heard.

“Youhyeon-nim, you can look back now..”

Relieved by her words, Yoohyeon looked back and saw Rebecca wearing only a negligee.
