Discord
A guild authorized by the British Royal Family.
Ranked 3rd in the world and possessing the Royal Knights, evaluated as the most powerful organization.
And.
Thud.
A guild with the world’s 2nd ranked player as its guild master.
That place was Royal.
Their influence spread across the world was beyond words, and their power in Europe was beyond imagination.
Even Sanctum was a guild Royal wanted to establish relations with proactively.
Thud.
They who could be called the royal knights were appearing over the ridge, approaching.
“…It’s the 3rd raid team.”
Go Yoon-su said.
Royal had nearly 20 raid teams, and each raid team had enough power to be called a guild in its own right.
Among them, the 3rd raid team.
“Red Lion.”
The Red Lion Knights.
Considering that only up to the 4th team conducted external activities in Royal.
“Their secret forces have come out directly.”
They were Royal’s secret forces and one of their maximum powers.
Those clad in red armor were approaching like medieval knights.
That eerie pressure was like crushing the air itself.
And.
‘To this extent?’
Go Johan was also intrigued.
Their level was not ordinary.
Something that couldn’t be expressed by level alone, he could be certain that something beyond players dwelled within them.
“Go Johan.”
Go Yoon-su said.
“Is the reason they came what I’m thinking?”
At Go Yoon-su’s question.
“It will be.”
Go Johan nodded.
Though brief, he could feel deep contemplation passing through Go Yoon-su.
And.
“Can I ask you?”
He showed a different side from his other siblings.
If it were Go Woo-jin, he would have stepped forward himself.
If it were Goh Min-ji, she would have stepped forward with Go Johan.
And Go Yoon-su.
“She’s someone I absolutely want to protect.”
He asked Go Johan.
Because he was lacking?
Absolutely not.
If the situation were different, he would have stepped forward alone like Go Woo-jin to shoulder the situation, and wouldn’t have feared to fight like Goh Min-ji.
But because he was the most realistic and quickest to grasp the situation, it was the best choice he could make.
‘I won’t be a hindrance to you.’
He was grasping his own position and being considerate not to hinder Go Johan.
“Is that all?”
Go Johan asked.
His tone showed no tension even though Royal’s Red Lion Knights were coming.
“…Don’t ask when you know everything. I was going to introduce her to our parents. I was thinking of introducing her to you, Min-ji, and hyung-nim too.”
He knew it wasn’t a light relationship, but to that extent.
“If…”
Go Yoon-su’s words weren’t all.
“If it becomes a problem, you can hand me over. Just hand me over with her. I’m still Sanctum’s blood, so I can’t hand over the woman I love and save myself alone, right?”
The troublemaker before Go Johan.
So his rather rough sensibility had its own cool side.
“Shouldn’t we hear what Rachel has to say?”
Looking at the approaching Red Lion Knights, he spoke toward the unconscious Rachel.
“What would we do by listening? She’d tell us not to do something stupid. The opposition would be the same anyway.”
Nod.
Go Johan nodded.
‘It’s an emotion I can’t easily understand.’
Because he’d never been in love, though understanding was difficult, he’d seen many such people so he could accept it.
“Hyung.”
Not hyung-nim but hyung.
“You’ll have to repay the debt later, right?”
“Of course. Even if you bring home some weird woman, hyung will approve. I’m a romantic. Me.”
“Pfft.”
Go Johan who suppressed a laugh walked forward.
Faluka tried to follow.
Swish.
Go Johan raised his hand to stop him.
Though his battle wounds had been healed by Go Johan, since he himself was stepping forward, there was no need for him to step forward.
Go Johan reached his hand forward.
Crack!
The Red Lion Knights who saw that raised their fists and halted their movement.
That moment.
Crrrack!
His outstretched fingers began leaving deep scars on the earth.
“That line.”
Go Johan said.
“Don’t cross it.”
*
*
*
The line Go Johan created.
“……”
Looking at it, the Red Lion Knights’ captain, Anna Flame, trembled faintly around her eyes.
‘Go Johan.’
No matter how much she heard about him, it was never insufficient.
Like singing legends in a fairy tale, it was only dreamlike.
But the power of Go Johan she saw in reality.
“Captain.”
“Stop.”
Was shocking.
Creating scars in the earth was something Anna herself could do.
However.
‘I can’t fathom its depth.’
The problem was that she dared not estimate the bottom of the split scar.
If this had been not on the ground, but in a straight line.
If it had come toward them?
“…A monster beyond imagination.”
The terrible result couldn’t even be easily put into words.
But she wasn’t just frightened.
Roar.
Boiling competitive spirit, maybe not alone.
But with her knight order.
And.
‘If it’s those people.’
Couldn’t they attempt it?
It was competitive spirit felt as a knight, as a warrior, beyond hostility.
That’s when.
“Don’t cross that line.”
The approaching silver-white man, Go Johan, said.
“……”
Indeed as seen through media, no, incomparable to that.
“You’re beautiful.”
Beautiful.
His silver-white hair seemed made from angel wings, and those two eyes seemed to have copied the sky itself.
Also, within his ordinary-looking physique, the firmly established muscles were clearly visible to Anna’s eyes.
God’s sculpture, wouldn’t Go Johan be qualified to call himself that?
“……?”
“Ah, excuse me.”
Anna approached the line and said.
“I have a condition where I can’t help myself when I see something beautiful.”
“There’s such a thing?”
“Living life, all sorts of things exist. Pleased to meet you.”
Anna bowed her body elegantly.
“Dame Anna Flame. Captain of the Red Lion Knights and a knight appointed by the British Royal Family. Would you call me Anna?”
From that introduction, her pride and strength could be felt.
“You’re a proper knight.”
At Go Johan’s praise, Anna smiled pleasantly.
“Sir Johan, I judge you to be someone who possesses qualifications worthy of being called a knight.”
It was truth, not falsehood.
Go Johan’s conduct, though other knights were different, Anna definitely felt it.
‘Knight.’
That it aligned with knightly chivalry.
“…It’s the first time I’m hearing this since coming here.”
“……?”
“Will the meeting end here?”
Since Anna treated him courteously, Go Johan also spoke in a polite tone.
“Our business is finished.”
“How can that be?”
However, Anna said without backing down.
“Rachel Ashford. We must receive custody of her.”
She didn’t seem to have any intention of backing down easily.

Go Johan and Anna met eyes.
Rather than sparks flying, it felt like vast oceans undulating.
The magic power emanating subtly from each collided, creating waves of magic.
That line was the boundary.
Whoosh!
Like a whirlpool created when rapids meet, it was a wave that seemed like one wrong step would tear you apart entirely.
“Rachel Ashford, her custody belongs to the British Royal Family.”
“That can’t be.”
Go Johan said.
“She has no connection to the royal family.”
In reality, she didn’t hold a title, it was confirmed fact that she merely possessed British citizenship.
“You’re going to detain a citizen?”
“Yes.”
“……”
“She received the rank of Duke from the royal family an hour ago.”
“……?”
“Since she’s not just a citizen, we must escort her custody.”
Go Johan frowned.
To think they’d be this brazen.
“If I refuse to hand her over?”
“How could that be? Sir Johan. You are one who possesses chivalry that I, Anna Flame, can respect. How could you do something against chivalry?”
Anna was confident as if she truly thought so.
In reality, if he were a knight, he might have made that choice.
Honor was important to knights as well.
“You’re mistaken.”
“About what?”
“I am.”
Go Johan raised his hand.
“Gasp!”
Just that brought a pressure as if drawing a legendary sword.
“Not a knight of this place.”
“……!”
“I’m a paladin serving only one great being. I’ll tell you that the one I serve fully supports me.”
It was a clear warning.
“Also, at least here…”
Go Johan’s sky-blue eyes rippled.
“Don’t forget the fact that I warned several times that I’m merely a villain, not a knight.”
That moment.
Shing!
Anna drew her sword.
It was instinct.
“……!”
Instinct she couldn’t suppress herself, so she couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Good instincts.”
Even at Go Johan’s praise, Anna couldn’t be happy.
Drip.
The sweat drops flowing down felt like blood.
Just now, she had the illusion that if Go Johan had wanted, her neck would have fallen.
‘Th-that can’t be.’
The scar made in the earth was impressive but that was all.
She thought they could attempt even against Go Johan if they drew out what they’d hidden.
Shing!
Because Anna drew her sword, the Red Lion Knights drew their swords simultaneously.
“Rachel Ashford’s custody will be the church’s responsibility.”
“The church… do you mean Temple? That’s yours…”
“Yes. I am Temple’s master.”
“……!”
“In fact, the reason I’ve shown this much respect is only because of the chivalry you’ve shown, Anna Flame.”
Go Johan took one more step forward.
Flinch.
Anna unconsciously shrank back and opened her eyes wide.
‘I backed away? Me?’
She realized that without knowing, she had stepped back in sync with Go Johan’s step.
“If you want more, I’ll be considerate so you can die as a knight. That’s the only thing I can do…”
Rumble!
Magic power seemed to scatter from Go Johan’s entire body.
“What will you do?”
