Chapter: 1223

In that way, regardless of him being an outsider, his heroic actions dominated their minds.

‘Prince does have the legitimacy, but his skills are insufficient to the point where he can’t even properly use the Divine Palm of the Ice God.’

If he ends up being the king of the North Sea Ice Palace, he is supposed to have cold qi and be a Supreme Master.

He’s supposed to have silver hair, not black hair.

‘The deputy king is strong in the North Sea... but he is still a traitor who brought in outsiders to awaken the dragon and kill the former king.’

When one starts making comparisons, it ends.

The wave, which only started with keeping the Dan family on the throne, began to think that someone like Chun Yeowun would be a nice king.

As opinions changed, both Dan Jucheon and Baekhyun began to sense a crisis.

‘No way... are the royal officials thinking?’

‘Baekhyun... Baekhyun... you made the worst move.’

Dan Jucheon shook his head.

All this wouldn’t have happened if Baekhyun hadn’t brought Chun Yeowun.

The hearts of the royals who were dissatisfied with the succession of the royal prince were leaning towards Dan Jucheon.

However, when they learned about the truth of him bringing in outsiders to kill the former king, the gazes of the young officials changed.

‘It shouldn’t have turned out like this. Once they start thinking, everything gets out of control. I can’t let Chun Yeowun sweep them away!’

The Ice Palace couldn’t be handed down to anyone outside the Dan family.

When a situation like this came, Dan Jucheon sent a telepathic message to Baekhyun, who was also struggling to solve the problem.

[Do you realize what you have done?]

[You are the last person I want to hear those words from.]

[... Well, this isn’t good. If we don’t overcome the situation, the palace will fall into the hands of that evil demon. It is an entirely separate issue from an alliance. You wouldn’t want that either.]

With a darkened expression, Baekhyun nodded his head.

At that, Dan Jucheon made a suggestion.

[You’re a part of the lineage of the king. You know that very well. The secret hidden inside the order.]

[Ah!]

Baekhyun’s eyes widened at the words of Dan Jucheon.

He was a little confused, but then he understood.

[Ice Cold staff, the Divine Object, chooses its owner. It can only be taken by qualified people. Do you remember what the qualification was?]

[... blood of the Dan family!]

[Yes. No matter how strong the Demon God is, he cannot be chosen. Aim for that.]

An oral tradition passed down to the people of the Dan family in the Ice Palace.
