Episode 106
Episode 47. Bride of Hugo (2)
After passing through the capital gate, the carriage stopped for a while after running for a long time to an unmarked roadside.
“Ahahaha…!”
A woman wearing a slutty outfit shook her head and laughed.
She was the first princess of the empire, Jishka Rose, who became a fugitive.
Zishka was straightening the front of her thin white blouse with her legs crossed. It was the first time she had worn such radical clothes since she was born as a princess.
not bad. The strange instincts suppressed by her status as the princess were awakening. It feels like a derailed adolescent girl rebelling against her mom. Somehow I laughed.
“I think you can change your clothes now.”
“i get it.”
Yuma took Kog to the riverside and waited for Zishka to change. Cog did not ask Yuma who the women in the carriage were. All he had to do was follow Yuma’s orders.
He was ordered to drive the wagon safely to Mattan and never tell Puang and Cindy what he saw. Ko He was such a man.
Another woman who played the little girl was Natalie, the rose owner. Passing through the gateway this time was a collaboration between Natalie and Yuma.
* * * During the week that Zishka stayed at the morning star, Yuma and the others often put their heads together and thought about how to steal Zishka.
‘How to use the secret passage in the capital city?’
‘There is a risk of being caught by the guards. Your Majesty must have strengthened the security of all areas of the imperial castle.’
‘How about purchasing soldiers at the gate?’
‘It’s the same. Gate buying is crazy in the current situation. Master, no matter how good your body is, you still need to use your brain.’
‘Can’t I just go through the gate with my uncle, me, and Catherine?’
‘It stands out too much. It is even more so when the center of the Jacques is vacant in the yard where the Jacques mansion is under construction. In the current situation, every movement of the Zach family will be reported.’
Then Natalie stepped out.
‘What are you so worried about? Here I am.’
Jangmihoe was also good at camouflage and transformation. It was natural for espionage activities. In particular, since childhood, Natalie often wore a disguise to poison someone.
‘Couldn’t you just dress me and the poor as a slut, and then you’ll become an irresistible slut and go out drinking? There’s nothing to be suspicious of because he’s openly passed through the gateway.’
It wasn’t something Yuma hadn’t thought of either. The method was both safe and practical. However, the problem was that the person trying to steal it was Zishka Rosé.
Even so, how could the first princess of the empire be dressed up as a prostitute?
‘That looks best. There is no such thing as makeup. Actually, what’s the difference between me and a prostitute being sold to Hugo? ha ha ha.’
It wasn’t a self-help story, it was purely a joke. After saying goodbye to Hella, Zishka’s strangely bright and easy-going personality, which had disappeared under the drug, was revealed.
Occasionally, when I thought of Joachim, I would fall into sadness with a dark expression. At such times, Zishka took time alone to avoid expressing himself.
Zishka knew very well that the tragedy of Joheim was a pain that no one could sympathize with and that he had to endure alone. It is a memory that should never be forgotten, mourned, and apologized for the rest of our lives.
Anyway, while staying at the Morning Star, Zishka liked Natalie. Even though it was the rose society that sold the ‘rose’ to the Empire, it was Natalie who woke her up from being drunk with drugs.
Responsibility for using the ‘rose’ rested with Winslting and Hayes.
‘Don’t worry about the low makeup. Rose society is not only good at cooking.’
‘If only I knew you were so competent and I was sane.
I would have enlisted you on the side of the Empire, Natalie.’
‘Well, as a result, Yuma made it that way. Sometimes it’s not bad to try on slutty clothes.’
‘Haha, don’t expect it.’
Throughout the conversation, Duran showed a very unbridled expression. Although Randall nodded and sympathized with Yuma.
‘Me me. No matter how much it is, is it okay for you to say that to me!’
Duran shouted at Natalie.
Natalie was determined to fight and not lose. I tried to stay out of Duran’s eyes for a while, but I just couldn’t.
It was Duran who turned on the light in his eyes and glared at him whenever he met at the top of Puang or at the morning star.
If you were in a position where you had to keep running into each other anyway, it would be better to act coolly. As long as Yuma is there, he won’t be able to beat himself to death.
‘My grandfather is also true. It’s just that I’m secretly oblivious.’
It was an irreverent remark that had sought Catherine’s consent in advance.
‘What!’
‘Father, please stop. After all, it’s not Natalie’s fault.’
‘Yes Sir Duran. I don’t know why you hate Natalie so much.’
Randel laughed alone and was shot in the back of the head by Duran.
‘If you agree, I will proceed that way.’
‘But how do I get a fake ID? As the checkpoints at the gates are strengthened, the guards who issued them seem to be on their guard.
That’s why my men are also being careful.’
‘There is one garrison officer who treats me very well, so don’t worry.’
It was Mars. Mars, of course, accepted Yuma’s request. This time, they didn’t even take money, saying it was a service.
From the standpoint of the garrison, it was an unusual situation where the gate inspection was strengthened.
Making fake IDs was pretty risky at a time like this.
However, Mars was looking farther and higher at his relationship with Yuma. He had no doubt that one day Yuma would become a key figure in the imperial power.
Natalie’s makeup was perfect.
In a mysterious way, she instantly changed Zishka’s appearance to that of a woman who had been a prostitute all her life.
It was makeup. Zishka’s face, which gave off a straight and cold impression, changed in an instant.
After cutting her long hair short, dyeing it, putting on slutty clothes, and inserting transparent magic glass into her eyes, even Duran couldn’t recognize Zishka.
Even more so, the gatekeeper, who had never seen the princess at close range in her entire life, couldn’t recognize her. I just think of her as a beautiful little girl with a great flair.
This is how Zishka and Natalie came to dress up as little girls.
♦ * * “It’s done. You can start right away.”
Only the clothes were changed into casual clothes, but the makeup and the thin glass in the eyes remained the same. The glass, which has been treated with magic and has undergone special processing unique to Jang Mi-hoe, hardly causes eye fatigue.
Natalie completely removed her makeup and changed into the traditional dress of Haseo. It was the usual attire when spending time as the owner of the rose society.
“All right.”
A cool breeze blew through the carriage windows. Zishka’s short hair fluttered gently. The feeling of the tip of my hair tickling my shoulder was unfamiliar.
How soon did it take to get out of the capital and ride a carriage? Zishka rested her chin on the window sill and closed her eyes. The air of the hometown of the homeland that you may never smell again.
At one time, I wanted to make every wind that blows on this land, even a single flower that newly blooms, blow and bloom according to my will. Not anymore.
“It feels like I am going on a trip.”
Zishka said.
“I hope it will be a pleasant and comfortable trip.”
“I like things that are stimulating and radical.”
Yuma answered.
It took a week to reach the Egon Mountains, where the Worgs headquarters was located.
There were no bandits or thieves in the Egon Mountains because the headquarters of the Black Wolves was there, but it was not the way to go there.
On the way to Matan, he felt sorry for the thief. Cahel, who was heading to Matan with 50 miryaks, and Cindy, who was delivering ogre blood, also encountered bandits.
Only Yuma, who often went in and out of Matan, had never experienced bandits.
“Yu Yuma-sama!”
A group of bandits suddenly emerged from the forest five minutes ago, chasing Yuma’s carriage. They threw a piece of iron with a rope attached to the wheel. It was to break the wheel and make it stop.
Heying! The horses croaked anxiously.
“Don’t panic, stop the wagon.”
Cogg was flustered not because he feared hurting Yuma, Natalie, or the unknown woman. It was because they were worried about the lives of the thieves.
When the carriage stopped, bandits on horseback rushed in and surrounded the party. There were more than five horses on board. Eoyoung and Buyeong were not thieves.
The armament he was wearing was also quite serious. There were also a few thieves wearing half-plate armor.
Yuma sighed as he got off the carriage.
“Aren’t you thieves?”
“Oh, I didn’t know you would recognize me. Are you in the same industry?”
They were mercenaries.
“I don’t want to see much blood today. I was just wishing you a comfortable trip. So you guys are very lucky.”
“Hahaha!”
The head of the mercenary corps was quite large. He was heavily armed and holding a heavy spear, so the horse he was riding was pitiful.
“You are crazy. I don’t want to see too much blood today. As always. Leave the women in the wagon and get out of here. If you do that, you guys will live.”
Two, four, eight, eleven…
Yuma quietly counted them. Then, after leaping forward with a speedboat, he landed a kick on the head of the leader.
baek!
Hit by Yuma’s shin, the chief fell off his horse.
Yuma’s pupils widened. The boss momentarily raised his spear and blocked Yuma’s attack with his rue. The poor warriors could never react to Yuma’s attack.
“Are you a good guy? But the opponent is not good.”
The boss just realized that the opponent is not good. The moment the boss blocked Yuma’s attack, he realized that the power gap was too overwhelming.
Sreung! Immediately, Yuma pulled out an Ascalon.
“for a moment! wait for a sec!”
“Not a minute.”
Poo-wook. Yuma wrinkled his brow slightly. The boss avoided Ascalon, who hit the floor again this time.
Although it was a casual stabbing attack, Yuma was dumbfounded inside.
“damage? this bastard.”
“please! Listen to me for a second, my friend!”
Before he knew it, the leader was on his knees and begging for help. Looking around, the rest of his subordinates were all on their knees.
“What… Hey, what are you guys so bland?”
“Thank you for stopping! We never meant to take women and rape them or sell me out!”
“Do you think that makes sense?”
“That makes sense! We are the spears of light….
It is true that we are a mercenary group under the direct control of Jailgyo!”
“Xyilgyo?”
It was absurd. As soon as Yuma heard the name Jailism, he thought of Lot, a Jailism priest he met in Yoheim.
Even before returning, he was aware of a pseudo-group called Jailgyo. I also remembered hearing that they run a monstrous group called ‘The Window of Light’.
“That’s right. I’m sorry for being rude. But our school is in desperate need of female believers…
“Crazy bastards. After all, you’re talking about a kidnapper, right? Either this or that. What is the proof that you are an Ilkyo believer?”
The boss took off his armor. All kinds of patterns symbolizing the Xil religion were tattooed between the thick hair on his chest.
