The Chosen One Was Me, Not You

21 – {You’ve crossed the line you shouldn’t cross}

{You’ve crossed the line you shouldn’t cross}

‘Damn it, the Duke of Skyroad and the Duke of Arsane!’

Assassins show no emotion.

However, despite the fact that all of the elite assassins of Were notorious even among the nobles of the Britannian Empire, despair lingered in their eyes.

‘I heard that the heir of the Duke of Skyroad is a genius among geniuses, so he’s good at swordsmanship, magic, and spiritism. Assassination seems to be more difficult, but I’m more worried about the aftermath than anything else.’

No matter how much the opponent was a genius who ranked first in all faculties except for the Divinity Faculty at J-Ha Academy, it was the standard for a first-year student.

Thinking so, the Assassins deep down underestimated Theodore Skylord’s skills.

I don’t know if they’re great among their peers, but as elite assassins, they prided themselves on being able to handle at most a 21-year-old kid, no matter how talented they were.

“From now on, slow down and act more stealthily.”

The orders I have received from now on are the assassination of Theodore Skylord.

And it was to kidnap Princess Yuria Arsane.

And after investing all their energy in killing Theodore Skylord first, they planned to kidnap Yuria Arsane.

‘Don’t be careless.’

I thought I could handle it, but that didn’t mean a clean victory without any damage.

Perhaps they might have noticed their approach, so they had in mind the possibility that they would have to fight with all their might, regardless of any means or methods.

‘After this assassination, everyone will have to run away anyway.’

If the heir to the Arkhan Empire’s Duke of Skyroad was killed while studying abroad in the neighboring Britannia Empire, it would become an international issue, and the Britannia Empire would do everything in its power to catch the assassin.

Williams would end up with mild punishment because they were chosen, but they weren’t just an underworld organization.

Obviously, the Britannian Empire would try to rectify the national disgrace by burying their sins even more.

‘Yuria Arsane, it would be more comfortable to deal with this girl.’

Yuria Arsene of the Duke of Arsene. If her body was defiled, she had the idea that she would have no choice but to marry William, the successor of the Duke of Artin and her chosen one, even if it was because of her face problems.

If it was just being raped while studying abroad, this would also become a huge international problem, but it would be buried by the murder of the heir to the Duke of Skyroad and the fact that she became the wife of a chosen one.

“The target is getting closer.”

Originally, the academy’s surveillance would be strict.

But the problem was solved with William’s help.

‘It was easy to help infiltrate the academy.’

William, who always wanders around the academy without even trying, couldn’t even stop Albert, the dean, using the name of the chosen one.

So it was very easy for him to secretly let the assassins inside.

‘And I told you to assassinate me without giving me a chance.’

The assassination of Theodore Skylord is just around the corner.

There was no turning back.

Thinking so, the captain of the assassins felt the tension and put more strength into the sword in his hand.

“The wind is cool.”

At that time, perhaps by luck, the target, Theodore Skyrod, came out.

I heard the story beforehand, but everyone who saw him was still surprised.

His hair was blonde, but other than that, he looked so much like William Artin that he might really be a twin.

‘Wait, twins?’

It was when the captain of the assassins remembered why he hadn’t thought of it before.

That question had to be put aside.

“Princess Yuria is in her meditation… She can’t possibly interrupt her meditation.”

It was when Theodore Skylord, who had suddenly muttered those words, started walking.

‘Die!’

The assassins silently aimed their weapons at Theodore and tried to charge.

The instantaneous speed of their intensively developed speed was to the point that it was not easy to prepare even if the famous knight knew in advance.

As 12 such assassins attacked at once, Theoro Skylord would have died.

“Huh?”

But I couldn’t figure out what had happened.

One thing was certain: the arms and legs of the assassins were all deformedly bent and broken.

“Quaaagh!”

At the excruciating pain, the assassins burst into screams of pain all at once.

In pain of broken limbs, the captain of the assassins couldn’t comprehend the current situation.

‘Oh, what happened?’

Obviously they surrounded and attacked.

At this rate, Theodore Skylord could have been killed.

Then, all of a sudden, all of them were lying on the floor with their limbs bent, and Theodore Skylord stood a few steps away from where he had been before, staring down at them coldly.

“The . They are not visitors, but trespassers, and they are giving off-topic names. They look ugly like William’s followers, wearing vain masks that don’t suit them.”

The leader of the assassins felt goosebumps at the sight of Theodore crossing his arms as if he knew everything.

‘This, this is a young man of the age of a sophomore at the academy?’

I couldn’t believe it.

No matter how talented you are, this was too much.

I couldn’t believe how they could be so vainly suppressed.

“You must have a lot of thoughts, but you don’t have to think about useless thoughts.”

At Theodore’s words, the leader of the Assassins hurriedly tried to commit suicide by biting the dog. But obviously there was no dogma that would have stuck between them.

“The assassin’s actions are obvious. But there’s no way I can see it? Your futile fuss is over.”

“Damn, dammit. This is something…”

“Oh, and you will not be captured by the Britannian Empire. You will all be transported to the Arkhan Empire.”

“What, what?”

“Then, good bye.”

As soon as Theodore’s words were finished, light enveloped their whole bodies, and the place where the assassins opened their eyes was a certain prison.

“Oh, these are the Assassins the Prince of Skylord spoke of.”

“I have to contact Duke Arsene as well.”

“Huhu, the time has come for the professional advisors of the Imperial family of the Arkan Empire to use their strength.”

I thought that the leader of the assassins might be in a worse situation than they thought.

‘Nonsense! Are you the imperial family? Why is there a professional advisory group of the Imperial Family of the Arkan Empire? No matter how much he is the heir to the Duke of Skyroad… There can’t be a link like this in the imperial family?’

The leader of the assassins couldn’t understand the current situation, and neither did those who followed him.

‘No way?’

However, a hypothesis came to the head of the assassins belatedly.

‘Could it be Theodore Artin?! And was he really the chosen one?’

* * *

‘I’ve dealt with the assassins for now.’

Sooner or later, the Arkan Empire will officially protest against the Britannia Empire.

The Duke of Skyroad would also express their anger, and the Duke of Arsene would be upset.

‘The Duchess of Arsene is going to go crazy.’

It was very easy to find out the purpose of the assassins. With a magical glance inside their minds in the time slowed down to one-thousandth, I could quickly see what their purpose was.

‘It was aimed at my life and Princess Yuria.’

As instructed by William, their purpose was to kill themselves and then kidnap Yuria.

I expected it to be like this.

But as expected, it was too crude.

“You acted right away, as expected, William. Your eyes are rotten to expect that you’ll kill me with such a simple, clumsy move.”

Muttering like that, Theodore looked for a while towards the mansion where Yuria was.

Feeling her presence as she was meditating while washing her cleanly, Theodore remembered her promise to the Duke of Arsene to protect her.

“It was just obligatory, but I guess I’ll get some emotions now.”

I just tried to protect her because it was her engagement.

But because of her interest in her now, it seemed that she would not be able to regard her as before.

To put it bluntly, before her, if she had ever been hurt, he would have been angry at her own failure, not at her being injured.

But now that I’ve given him even a little affection, I don’t think I can do that.

I thought that the weight of the name Jung was enough for my family, but now that there was an exception, I felt like my plans were already twisted.

‘This is why I hated giving affection to someone. She was a much better woman than I thought.’

If YuRia was hurt, it seemed like she would be mad at her for hurting her now.

I could feel a quiet anger welling up inside me at the fact that assassins were trying to kidnap Yuria even now.

And Yuria needed an education for her foolish twin brother who harbors dirty desires.

“It just happens to be not far away.”

William was inside the academy expecting news that the assassins had killed him and bringing her Yuria back.

It was the moment to teach her younger brother, who was waiting with anticipation at the entrance, to realize her reality.

* * *

“hehehehe.”

William expected a future where Theodore would be pierced by numerous swords before he could even use his abilities.

When he died, he no longer had to worry about himself.

He would return as the only chosen one, and all would be right.

“Yuria Arsane, I’m really looking forward to the taste of that bitch. It’s the first time I’ve felt time passing so slowly.”

“I’m sorry, but time will pass more slowly.”

William’s expression hardened. It was because there was a voice that should never be heard in this situation.

At the same time, I could see the time around me starting to pass too slowly.

The cries of the insects that had been audible also ceased, and everything flowed so slowly that it felt as if time had stopped, as we had seen earlier.

The slow passing time that takes place in the dark night was a horror in itself.

As the feeling of helplessness that he couldn’t do anything was added, William, faced with an irresistible force, began to walk backwards in fear.

‘Te, did Theodore appear? Oh no! He must be dead!’

As William denied reality like that, he felt someone grab him by the shoulder from behind.

“Ouch!”

William tried to run away with a scream and fell forward. He kissed the floor and someone’s foot trampled on his back as he fell.

“William Artin, foolish twin brother of the same blood as mine. Your methods are so crude and clumsy. Well, it’s just right for your level, less than street filth.”

“Te, Theodore!”

Pressed down by his feet, William called out to him in a terrified, trembling tone.

“Yes, it is me. Sorry, William, but the numbers you showed me were crude and clumsy. And for crossing the line from day one, I commend you.”

“What are you talking about? Eh, put this away! Eh, do you think you’ll be all right?”

William trembled with fear and bluffed. He knew all too well rationally that if it were known that the one stepping on his back was the true Chosen One and his twin brother, Theodore Artin, his death would not have much significance.

It wasn’t anger or hatred that filled William’s mind as he was being trampled by the only opponent he couldn’t work with, believing that if he died, there would be no one to stop the end of the world.

Just horror.

Only the overwhelming fear that he might really die ran through his head.
