Chapter 182 Family Conflicts and the Nightmare King
"Stop...stop fighting..."

After a hellish mixed "rescue" by both men and women, the freckled prince, who was rescued with a bruised face, fainted and woke up, could not hold on any longer. He curled up into a ball with his hands on his head, and lay on the ground groaning in protest:
"I... I am a prince after all. You have an agreement with the Royal Family to ensure our safety..."

"Your Highness Joshua, you are guilty of saying this."

After shaking his sore wrist, Leon, who was really relieved, was amazed at the guy's strong values. He was still obsessed with his identity as a prince after being beaten so hard. He said nonsense with a sincere expression:
"We are just trying to ensure your safety. After being rescued by us for so long, do you feel better? Don't you have that strange feeling of being controlled or influenced anymore?"

"..."

That feeling is not good in the first place! I just want to know what that dream is all about!

Even though he wanted to tear the two damn cleaners into pieces, the freckled prince, who had just received his first beating in his life, was really scared. He stuck his butt out and nodded repeatedly:
"No, no, I really don't feel anything at all. I have never felt so good!"

Joshua's worldview was just distorted by his teachings, but he wasn't born with a low intelligence quotient. Of course, he could understand the subtext of Leon's words.

If you feel much better, you probably won't need to be beaten. As for not feeling that way at all, it means you are still being controlled and need to continue to be "rescued" vigorously until you feel much better!

All right then, I feel good about it too.

Seeing that this living hedgehog finally gave in, Leon, who had saved him for a long time, was really tired. He then turned his head to look at the tall beauty next to him and asked politely:

“Senior Emma, ​​do you want to save him a few more times?”

"No, I've calmed down."

After returning a rather brilliant smile to Leon, Senior Emma spoke up to remind him:

“Leon, remember to treat his injuries before you leave, otherwise it will be difficult for you to explain when the investigators from the bureau come.”

"Ok."

After nodding in response, Leon took out the [Infected Blood Belt], and while the Freckled Prince struggled and screamed, he forcibly pried open his arms that were hugging his head, and wrapped the dirty bandage around his head twice.

With the rapid injection of health energy taken from the fat chicken in the kitchen, the Freckles Prince's face, which was swollen like a pig's head, took only a dozen seconds to subside and reveal his original appearance.

Finally...is it finally over?

After noticing that the pain on his face suddenly subsided, Prince Freckles quickly reached out and touched his face. When he found that the swelling had also subsided, he was so excited that he almost cried.

Although the country's destruction and family demise last night were tragic, it happened in a dream after all. Because of the layer of separation, the feelings were not that deep. The extreme regret that felt like cutting out my heart and flesh slowly subsided after I woke up from the dream.

But this beating was really painful!
In all these years since I was a child, except for a few bumps and bruises when I was a kid, I have never been beaten so badly. Even my father, who is a king, only slapped me once...ah!

"Tsk, what are you doing?"

Seeing the freckled prince who was slapped to the ground again and covered his face in confusion, Leon couldn't help but frowned and said with dissatisfaction:
"When I was healing your injuries, I treated them too much and accidentally also healed the slap you received yesterday. I hit you yesterday and today for two different reasons, so I have to return the slap to you...

"Get up! Put your hands down! Stand still! If you print it crooked again this time, I'll have to draw it again!"

"Alright, alright, let's stop here."

Seeing the freckled prince trembling and putting down his hand, his eyes closed and a sad face, waiting for Leon to slap him again, Emma couldn't help but shook her head, went over to hold Leon's arm, and pulled him out of the room when he was really about to slap him again. "Senior Emma, ​​why are you pulling me?"

"Of course, it's to save you from getting into less trouble!"

Looking at Leon who seemed to still be unsatisfied, Emma could not help but say helplessly:
"No wonder the director specifically told me to try to hold you close before I came here. You are really...

Leon, even if we find a good excuse, this time we will definitely attract the investigation of the General Administration. He has already admitted that it is okay, so you should stop. If you continue to fight, you will be in trouble. "

"Don't worry, I thought of a reason before I took action."

Lyon smiled when he heard this, and then explained:

"Although I have no memory of this, didn't his sister say that she had accepted my proposal? If that's the case, then I am his brother-in-law in name only.

My brother-in-law and my brother-in-law had a quarrel, and they just slapped each other twice, and they didn't use any abnormal objects to hurt anyone. This should be considered a family conflict. The investigators from the General Administration won't even intervene in this, right?"

Is it possible to do this?
Emma was slightly startled when she heard this, and then said with a somewhat ridiculous tone:

"You are really... you are awesome!"

"I'm not that great, you are the one who is really great, Senior."

Thinking about Emma's amazingly stable emotions and her calm and rational way of dealing with emergencies, Leon immediately praised her sincerely:

"I am just a little more flexible in thinking, but in terms of my ability to get things done, I still have a lot to learn from you... By the way, senior, your soul has been beating violently before, did you discover anything?"

"Don't call me senior. It sounds old-fashioned. I'm not that much older than you. Just call me Emma from now on."

After correcting Leon's address, Emma, ​​who was in a very good mood, smiled and said:
"As for discoveries, there are indeed some... Have you ever heard of the name Nightmare King?"

"The Nightmare King?"

“The Nightmare King is also known as the Lord of Nightmares. He controls the nightmare power within the dream power and is one of the true gods worshipped by the Nightmare Black Cult.

Because its true form only exists in the dreams of intelligent creatures and never involves reality, even the General Administration can't do anything about it. It is a very troublesome guy."

After briefly explaining the Nightmare King's situation, Emma began to explain while thinking:

“The ancestors of our kingdom’s royal family once fought against the Nightmare King and forcibly drove him away several times, and therefore suffered some of the Nightmare King’s curses.

As they grow older, every direct descendant of the royal family will begin to suffer from nightmares frequently, constantly experiencing the most regretful past events of their lives in dreams. The older they are and the more regrets they have, the more real and painful the dreams will be. The current old king has fallen ill due to torment from such nightmares.

So if I'm not mistaken, Prince Joshua probably experienced an extremely painful nightmare last night, which is why he suddenly lost his mind and acted so crazy. I want to know what that dream was about no matter what.

This is also why I didn’t plan to argue with him at first. He had such a horrible dream last night, so it’s normal for him to be emotionally unstable. Joshua also has his own difficulties. ”
