Episode 125
Episode 51. Everything Comes Back (8)
Randell gathered the knights.
“From now on, the knights of the Zach family will serve Low Zishka, who has returned to the capital! Let’s get the honors line up!”
The barded horses moved in perfect order, raising a dusty wind. Whenever the horses moved back and forth, the swords and armor of the knights sparkled and reflected the sunlight.
It wasn’t the usual stupid Randel. Randel, who commanded the ranks with moderation, was indeed the standard-bearer of the Zach family.
Chuck Chuck Chuck!
In an instant, twenty-five knights lined up on both sides of the party.
They raised their swords to Zishka as they were on horseback.
Boooooooo…!
A knight at the head of the ranks blew his horn. The knights did not lead swords, but turned their backs and waited for the order to move.
The knights were lined up on both sides, and two ancient wolves stood side by side in the middle.
It would have been cool to have only knights, but with the addition of ancient wolves, there was nothing to say. It was quite plausible for an improvised honor guard. Catherine rode her horse and sat next to Randall.
Randell was preparing to raise the flag at the forefront. A flagpole tucked into his armpit pointed forward like a lance.
“How does it feel to receive the chair of the knights of the Hugo Empire?”
Zishka looked up and met Hugo’s eyes.
“It’s pointless.”
“That’s the answer I like. How are you Yuma?”
The rank of honor was a privilege given only to the royal family or nobles of the rank of count or higher who had merited merit in the war.
The commoner died and could not receive it even after waking up.
‘Well, I woke up from the dead.’
The corner of Yuma’s mouth went up. Since Natalie also rode the Ancient Wolf, she also enjoyed the privilege of being in the honor line.
The Zac family’s knights were not dissatisfied. They were followers of jockey Randel Jacques.
To them, Randell’s judgment was always right. That’s why he didn’t blame Yuma even in the situation where he confronted the garrison immediately after the last terrorist attack at Yuma’s gateway.
“That’s significant.”
“Not bad. Play Sir Randell.”
Zishka spoke in a deep voice that conveyed the dignity of a princess.
“Raise your flag!”
Randall recited his blessing. He was the one who knew everything about Zizka becoming Hugo’s bride.
It was the last line of honor for ‘Princess Zishka’. Even though I don’t have proper ceremonial supplies, I wanted to finish it nicely.
flutter!
Randell’s flag was raised high in the sky. The black leopard engraved on the purple flag fluttered vigorously. It was the symbol of the Zach family.
“Please depart.”
“Go!”
The spiritual creature called the ancient wolf had good eyesight. Tulka and Takil moved slowly, matching the pace of the horses.
Meanwhile, the watchtower of the capital gate.
“What is that! Isn’t it the rank of chairman!? What kind of chairperson is this? Observer! Observer!”
A garrison officer shouted, pointing to Zishka’s parade.
When there was a procession of chairpersons, it was a common procedure to receive instructions from the top in advance. The target’s status and transit time must be informed at least one day in advance in order to respond appropriately.
It is not possible to be there as usual when there is an important person coming and going that is accompanied by a procession of the chairman.
“Which family flag is that?”
“Jacques! It is the flag of the Zach family.
Every day these days, the knights of the Zach family leave the capital and come back!”
The observer, who checked the flag through his telescope, answered.
“What crazy!”
There was no need to ask who it was, as long as the Zach family organized the chairman procession themselves. They were unconditionally royalty.
When the imperial family passed through the gateway, they had to clean even a single stone on the ground.
“emergency! emergency! Check the status of all armed status and check if there is an official document related to the chairman! Get the cleanest guys out and get a welcome party! Tell the knights too!”
From the point of view of the garrison officer, it was no different from a thunderbolt in the dry sky.
Needless to say, there was an unexpected procession of the chairman of the royal family during his working hours!
It was clear that the life of the rest of the garrison would become unclear if he stood up for the unidentified protagonist of the parade.
‘The condition of the gateway is not very good.’
In that way, even if the main character of the chairperson spit out a single word, there was a risk that life in the garrison would be disrupted. I had no idea how much the damn knights would vent their anger.
The officer cursed inwardly and hurriedly checked the condition of my clothes.
“Why is there a chairman procession without a word! Even during my working hours!”
That officer was Mars.
It was the biggest crisis in the life of an officer for 15 years.
Zishka’s procession reached the entrance of the gateway.
Mars was indeed an improvised and flexible man. In that short time, he formed a welcome line, had fully armed knights lined up in front of the line, and even spread a carpet on the floor.
In addition, even the soldiers who served in the military band were playing welcome music. It was thanks to the fact that he often talked about his past career while hanging out with soldiers.
“Meet the deterioration!”
With a good sense of humor, he had just figured out that the main character of the chairman procession was the princess. He didn’t even look at Ancient Wolf and Hugo.
It was because the lower ones knew very well that they shouldn’t have many questions in this situation. Zishka was surprised by the response of the garrison.
And on the other hand, my heart ached. He was not the kind of person who deserved such a welcome.
If it was Zishka in the past, he wouldn’t have been very impressed by seeing the soldiers.
now it was seen
Due to his procession, he could see the hard work of the soldiers who hurriedly checked all kinds of conditions. I could see the nervousness of the soldiers who held their spears straight and maintained a firm expression. He was afraid that he would be scolded for making hasty preparations.
She seemed to know why all the people loved her younger sister Hella more than herself when she was the princess. I felt sorry for myself that I was only now paying attention to this.
“Lowering.”
Yuma, who looked at Jishka’s mood, spoke up. Mars was surprised to hear Yuma’s voice, but couldn’t express it. Yuma was already smiling at Mars.
“The garrison has prepared a welcome line for degradation. Please tell me.”
Hey, it feels like I’m back in the eunuch days. As a eunuch, when the weak-minded Hella cried, Yuma woke her up in this way. A competent eunuch should have done so.
Zishka corrected her expression and looked around the welcome line. I wanted to ease their anxiety.
“It was an unannounced chairman procession, but everyone had a hard time. Very satisfied.”
“Thank you lower!”
Mars shouted with a smile on his face. It was the moment when the biggest crisis of his 15-year career as an officer turned into an opportunity.
who is Mars He was a flexible officer whom Yuma had noticed from before. He was a man who liked the way things were done in many ways.
He didn’t even prepare a welcome procession, he had taken out a few quick-footed and good-spoken soldiers and spread the honor procession throughout the capital.
The quick-footed soldiers ran like crazy like newsletter salesmen on the day the scoop came out. The imperial family is coming soon, so everyone jump out and watch.
Crowd psychology was no big deal. A crowd of people soon formed as some of the people at home came out to the side of the road and idly stretched their necks.
When Zishka passed through the gateway, he was able to meet many people.
“Lower Zishka!”
“Long live the low!”
When the people met Zishka one-on-one, all they could do was to hold their heads together with their hearts racing. No one in Kyle was unaware of her cruel nature.
But not when many gathered. Commoners rarely encountered the imperial family or great aristocrats in their lifetime. For such commoners, the triumphal ceremony or the procession of the chairman was one of the best spectacles.
You are the princess sitting on the ancient wolf. It didn’t matter if the person sitting with me was a dark, muscular giant.
It was up to the aristocrats to be nervous thinking about the identity of that person.
It was a precious scene that commoners would never see again in their lifetime.
“Yuma! Yuma!”
Moreover, it was none other than Yuma who was riding the ancient wolf beside the princess. He is considered a hero among commoners.
The people shouted the names of Yuma and Jishka one after another. It was the same with the people who came out late after hearing the sound.
Zishka could not hold back the hot tears that flowed endlessly from her eyes. Hugo wiped away her tears with his thick fingers.
The strict laws of the imperial family and the weight of the royal wedding were not the business of the common people.
The 1st Empress, famous for her eccentric temper, was in the arms of a giant, shedding tears. in front of everyone’s eyes.
People threw flowers, thinking that they were just married. For them, a royal wedding was not much different from a festival.
“The two of you didn’t even have an insignificant wedding. I can replace it with today. Congratulations.”
The flower road continued for a long time. Yuma decided to go straight to the imperial castle.
“Yuma, but can it be like this?
Well, so to speak, we are in a position to return after committing a crime, but the Empress of the Empire…
will she stay still after seeing this?
Can you negotiate?”
said Natalie. Swept away by the atmosphere, she couldn’t say anything, but Catherine, who was in the lead, was equally uneasy.
Randell laughed and enjoyed the atmosphere, as if the dignity of the jockey Jacques he had seen earlier was false.
Some girls even shouted Randall’s name.
“I rather think it worked out very well. It couldn’t get any better.”
It was sincere. It couldn’t have been better.
Countless people witnessed the relationship between Zishka and Hugo. He even blessed the relationship between the two by throwing flowers.
public opinion is formed.
It was like having a better shield than Duran Jacques or Hella Rose.
Even Tekken Asuka Rose could not completely ignore the public opinion of the people.
How is the face of the imperial family?
Nothing about Zishka’s act of treason or his background has been exposed yet. Joachim’s evidence was only understood by the Empress and the Zac family.
Zishka is still the princess of the empire. Sooner or later, the news that the princess had married an ogre slayer would spread throughout the empire.
Even the power of the Empress of the Empire and the highest dignity on earth could not stop the rumors.
Are you saying that only one or two witnessed this scene?
In the first place, the empress had kept the abduction of Jishka hidden so far in order to minimize the confusion of the imperial family and state affairs. But what if everything was revealed belatedly and Jishuka and Yuma were punished?
What if you aim your sword at the two people who have just arrived and received the blessings of the people of the capital? What if even Duran Zach, the Zach family, and the second princess declared that they would support their love?
Nonetheless, aiming a knife at Yuma and Zishka was a decision that would inevitably result in huge political losses.
The news reached Hwangseong in an instant. This was because some nobles hurriedly ran to the imperial castle to inform them.
The commoners did not know, but the nobles who saw the procession recognized at once that the person sitting behind Zishka was Hugo. That overwhelming appearance is also an appearance, and it is because Yuma is next to him.
No noble was unaware of the relationship between the Black Wolves and Yuma.
As soon as the empress received a report on the procession taking place in the middle of the capital, she grabbed her back.
