A Transmigrator’s Privilege-Chapter 196

It was when Ligares was very young.

Queen Labiosa and her two sons, Reminik and Ligares, were not treated well in the palace.

They had to live almost locked up in the queen's quarters, keeping an eye on the palace staff. Then one day, a festival was held outside the palace.

Just as the inside of the palace was a stuffy prison to little Ligares, the outside of the palace was a place overflowing with longing.

Ligares wanted to see the festival, so he didn't eat and pestered his mother and brother for two days.

His mother said that he absolutely could not, but his brother, who was weak towards his younger brother, couldn't do that.

Reminik fell for Ligares's childishness and ended up promising to go to the festival with him.

Since his mother had threatened that he absolutely could not, the festival had to be seen in secret.

The princes began to plan their plans while putting their small heads together under the covers of their beds. Thus began the princes’ first adventure in life.

The princes were smart for children. They decided to hire the maid who had first brought them information about the festival. She was someone they had seen often for the past six months, so they could trust her.

They put two gold buttons in her hand and asked her to sneak out of the palace and guide them through the festival.

The plan was successful.

The young princes followed the maid around, watching the acrobatics of the troupe, looking at the goods in the market, and eating cotton candy.

It was a happy time.

It was a successful adventure.

What could be better than this as the spoils of adventure?

A precious memory that is kept as a treasure and recalled from time to time.

A secret between the two that makes them reconcile first when they think of this moment even after fighting and squabbling.

A good memory for grown princes to show their friendship in front of noble ladies while drinking tea in the garden.

The first adventure was supposed to be a beautiful memory for the princes who returned to the palace.

Unfortunately, however, the two princes did not return to the palace.

The streets where the sun had set were not kind to the young children.

At one point, the maid who had brought them out disappeared without a trace, and the two princes were kidnapped by strange men during the commotion of the fireworks.

The two princes were handed over to a closed monastery occupied by fanatics.

In the underground prison there, there were many other children who had been captured besides Ligares and Reminic. The two princes were locked in a separate room from the other children.

The dark and smelly environment of the prison was enough to intimidate the princes.

Reminic consoled Ligares, who was trembling with fear, saying ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) that there was nothing to worry about. As always, his brother's calm voice was trustworthy, and Ligares was able to feel relieved right away.

The third day of being locked up, shivering every time a special ritual was performed.

Besides fear, they had another problem. - Brother, I'm hungry.

- Hold on a little longer, Riga. The food given was only two meals a day. And that was all, thin oatmeal soup and small bread, so Rigares' stomach was always noisy.

Even though his brother said he wasn't hungry and gave him food.

But did his brother become strange because of the extreme fear?

On the fourth day, the kind brother suddenly changed. - Brother Reminik, why are you doing this!

-... .... Reminik started to steal and eat all of Rigares' food.

When Rigares couldn't stand it anymore, he punched him and demanded his share of food, but Reminik didn't budge.

He turned his back on his brother and ate the food.

He did it while feeling sick and retching. At that time, his brother seemed to be possessed by a spirit.

For two days. The starving Regares lay there, unable to move a finger, just breathing.

He felt that this was the end, and he kept thinking as he focused on the ceiling.

I hate my brother so much. I wish he would die.

Then one night. Reminic woke Regares up forcibly.

The little boy’s body, emaciated and emaciated, was so weak that he couldn’t even keep his balance.

Reminic put some bread he had set aside into Regares’ mouth.

Now I wondered why my brother was like this. He wanted to spit out the food his brother gave him, but his mouth was chewing and swallowing the bread diligently.

Reminic was visibly relieved and moved the stones at the corner of the prison.

There was a small hole there, big enough for two children to escape through.

To the surprised Ligares, Reminic told him that he had been going in and out of this hole every night to find an escape route.

So was the reason he had been eating all of Ligares’ food to save up energy to wander around at night?

When he realized it in an instant, the lump in his young heart melted away. However, he acted childishly. - I still hate you, hyung.

-... ... .

- I wish you would die.

-... ... Yeah. Whenever he recalled that time, Ligares was glad that his hyung’s face in his memory had completely weathered away.

He couldn’t even remember the expression of hurt feelings he had felt when he heard me say that.

Instead, the feeling of his heart aching while facing that expression remained vividly as a scar.

Feeling stung, Ligares tried to change his words, but missed the timing. He followed his hyung, who had started to take the lead, and made a vow to himself.

If I leave here, I will tell him that I didn’t mean it.

I'll say that my brother is the best in the world.

While I was thinking that, the prison break was discovered. The fanatics were seen looking for them with the night stone.

Reminic and Regares ran as fast as they could and finally reached the wall.

There was a small hole in the thick and high stone wall like in a dungeon.

Reminic hurriedly pushed Regares in. His emaciated body barely managed to squeeze in. -Okay! Brother! Brother too, quickly! Regares reached out to Reminic through the hole, cheering inwardly. But. -I can't go, Regares.

-... ... !Reminic laughed as if he knew this would be the end.

Only then did Regares realize why his brother had starved him for the past week.

I didn't want to know. -Go quickly. Go and ask for help. I'll wait.

-Brother! Huh!

-Go quickly! When Ligares didn't leave, Reminic turned around first.

The young child, who was only two years older than Ligares, walked towards the fanatics on his own two feet.

That was the last Ligares saw of his brother.

After that, he didn't remember well what he had in mind to go to the village and ask for help from the people and return to the palace.

The royal family immediately sent the Marquis of Recandro to occupy the monastery and rescue the second prince.

However, it was already too late when the Marquis of Recandro arrived at the monastery.

The fanatics had moved, and all that remained were the horrible traces of their strange rituals.

When he finished reminiscing, Ligares's hands were bruised and blue. Even so, the grip that seemed to crush the bones in his wrists did not stop.

"Mother, I."

The boy's face, filled with stubbornness, collapsed and distorted.

“I can’t forgive you.”✠That evening, Prince Hadail heard about what had happened in Shin Sungkyung’s living room through his adjutant.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

It was thanks to the intentional leak of information from Regares.

“The youngest offered the position of crown princess to the saint, and the saint didn’t show any sign of refusing?”

Hadeil scoffed.

Crown princess?

Regares wasn’t the type of person who would take care of her half-brother’s sister-in-law’s position.

In other words, Regares himself was going to become the crown prince and welcome Shin Sungkyung as his companion.

Furthermore, Shin Sungkyung, who had refused my offer of dress and escort, was said to have shown a cold attitude toward the position of crown princess.

They were both extremely annoying.

“Is the saint trying to hold hands with the queen and the third prince?”

Hadale was supported by the fact that he was the eldest son of the royal family and had a reputation for being gentler than Ligares.

Since he had no outstanding qualities, it was obvious that if Ligares took over the people’s hearts, the situation would be unfavorable.

Hadale spoke to his adjutant with an annoyed expression.

“Tsk. There’s no way the queen and the third prince would have sincerely proposed the position of crown princess. Doesn’t the saint know that, as the representative of the religious state?”

“How could the saint of the religious order know politics? There must be a significant difference in perspective between you and His Highness the First Prince, who has been pickled in the middle of political strife his entire life.”

“That’s why I even gave you advice. Do you think you can become crown princess with that kind of brain?”

“You’re just a chess piece that can be used and thrown away.”

Hadale and his adjutant were a good match.

Whatever the circumstances, it would be bad for the nobles to see Shin Sung-kyung and Regares united at the banquet tomorrow. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Discord needed to be stirred up. And in this regard, Hadale had an outstanding talent.

He had already eliminated one rival cleanly in his teens. It would be so easy.

All you had to do was touch the sore spots of Queen Rabiosa and Prince Regares.

“If you remind them of the story of my poor younger brother who was kidnapped by fanatics and disappeared, they’ll come to their senses.”

“You’re planning to use Prince Reminic again.”

“Again?”

“... ... .”

“Watch your words. And using him means receiving help.”

“I made a slip of the tongue.”

A sharp expression. It was the kind of reaction someone who would be pricked by a needle would show.

“I’d better blow it up before the saintess offers her prayer tomorrow. I thought of a better prayer than that royal peace.”

“What is that?”

The prince, who looked like a painting, smiled meanly.

“I should pray for the repose of my poor younger brother. For some reason, my dreams have been so bad lately.”✠ The light from the chandelier reflected off the crystal blurred my vision.

The magnificent banquet hall was filled with nobles who had adorned themselves as splendidly as midsummer flowers.

Among them were four men, members of the Order of the Holy Knights and the Royal Knights.

“It’s alcohol, alcohol.”

“Drink without being caught, Ipeil.”

“Brother Ray, why do you keep glancing at the entrance? Are there enemies waiting in ambush?”

“... ... Don’t worry about it.”

On the other side, there was a black-haired noble lady wearing a seductive dress and a pink-haired royal knight in formal attire.

“Sir Prinz, you really are worthy of being the top student at the military academy.”

“Huh? Bianca, why are you suddenly saying that... ...?”

“The palace etiquette is very excellent.”

“I’m glad that it seems to be at a level that doesn’t embarrass Bianca.”

“If only he wasn’t the grandson of King Hispenril... ....”

“Yes?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Special for the possessed.
