Episode 230
Episode 87. Finding Catherine (2)
“What is the exact location of Lady Catherine?”
Yuma asked.
“That has not been confirmed. It seems that only the fact that he was in El-Tainer until recently was figured out. I will have to go and look for it myself.”
Natalie answered, blowing smoke from her pipe.
Natalie did not inform her that Katherine had taken a slave ship to Eltainer. There was no need to disturb the hearts of his colleagues.
It was an area where one could know how pretty female slaves were treated without having to experience it.
However, Catherine’s beauty could have been classified as a top-notch product and spared the dirty work.
Natalie pinned her hopes on the fact that she was the daughter of a great aristocrat who was reputed to be beautiful even in the West.
Yuma was the only one in the group who noticed what Natalie didn’t say. Yuma also prayed and prayed in his heart for Catherine to be well.
If something had happened to Catherine…
It would be an indelible scar on the hearts of Yuma and Catherine, and a war between the West and the East would become inevitable due to Duran Jacques.
Even if Hella Rose and the chancellor’s eunuch Arantino managed to stop the war somehow, they couldn’t stop Duran’s runaway.
It was really the worst case.
“Let’s leave for the capital of Cantra right now.
Get everyone ready.”
Yuma said while taking Ascalon.
The fact that Natalie’s subordinates hadn’t been able to pinpoint Catherine’s whereabouts meant that it was highly likely that she had already been sold.
And the person who bought her was likely to have quite an influence within the Elta Inner. Catherine would have been classified as a special product and sold for an exorbitant price.
‘It must have been sold for a huge amount, but the fact that the whereabouts are unknown means that it is a secret transaction. If so, it’s rather easy to find. You only need to find people who can make such a deal. Please, I hope the lady is safe…
Let’s not think bad thoughts. Yuma made up his mind and took Ascalon.
The other colleagues who were sitting on the leather chairs in the drawing room also hurriedly started getting ready to leave.
“Oliver.”
“Yes, Yuma-sama.”
“Within a month, a person named Santi will find Ebony. He is a friend who made Yuma’s wings into the most sacred guild in the East in less than a year, so follow him carefully.”
“All right.”
“Looks like it’s time for you to gild the black name I made for Myungwang. Good luck, Oliver.”
“Natalie-sama…
During the four days of waiting for news, the arrangements for ebony had been roughly finished.
There were no major issues to sort out in the first place. It was because Natalie had firmly established the hierarchical order and system of the organization.
In addition, there were many cases in which members of Ebony were truly loyal not only to Natalie but also to Oliver.
It was because Oliver faithfully fulfilled her throne while Natalie eliminated her enemies.
Oliver looked at Natalie and knelt down.
“Honestly, every day of the past few months with Natalie-nim has been so scary. But after all, it was Natalie-sama who brought me here, who was an errand runner.”
“Why are you suddenly like this? You’re usually the one in the corner over there, sweating profusely and noticing.”
“I hope you get your colleague back quickly and I hope you are always safe.”
“Yes, don’t even dream of betrayal.”
“No one dares to even think about it.”
The group soon finished preparing to leave.
Oliver only escorted the group to the front of the mansion. He was still known as the King among the people of Balipoa. It was impossible for him to personally see someone off.
All the slaves managed by Ebony were being sent to Mus Icahn Island. Sooner or later, Mus Icahn was going to be distracted with the slaves sent by Ebony.
Slowly, quickly…
Yuma’s party simplified their luggage and chose horses instead of wagons to move as quickly as possible.
“Hyung Yuma. There are a few people I know well in Eltainer. Maybe you can get help from them.”
“I might be able to benefit from your connections for the first time in the East.”
“Because there was not much to do in a small country like Silma or Nabalu.
Cantra is where I spent my childhood.”
“Don’t expect it.”
* * * The imperial castle of Eltainer.
The Emperor of Kantra, Rugala Raijin, was sitting on his throne in the dark throne room, resting his chin on his chin. All of the servants and guards had been sent out of the audience room.
He looked at the women standing under the throne with empty eyes, as if he was going crazy from boredom with the world.
“Everyone raise your heads.”
Most of the women raised their heads, trembling in terror. Rugal looked at them one by one and narrowed his eyes.
A total of 10 women were so beautiful that no man in the world could look away from them.
They were all sold as slaves and offered as tribute to Rugal.
“You will become my concubines from today and live in the imperial castle. If you need anything, say one thing now. I will carry your burden.”
While everyone hesitated, not knowing what to do, a woman with a good sense of humor quickly raised her hand.
They were the kind who knew better than to act boldly in a moment like this.
“your majesty! Can I tell you what the girl really needs?”
“Yes.”
“The girl wants clothes made from the finest silk from Silmar. Wearing those beautiful clothes, I always want to wait for His Majesty’s Seongeun to come.”
“I will listen.”
When the first woman succeeded, the other women raised their hands one by one. They realized what their destiny was.
Rugal pointed a finger at each of them so that they could say their request.
“It is enough for the small girl to be able to write a letter to her parents in her hometown…
“I will listen.”
“The girl wants to take revenge on the slave traders who treated me badly.”
“I will listen.”
“The girl…
” I will listen.”
No matter what the girls asked for, Rugal responded in a dry tone, as if he had no feelings.
The arrogant figure of a person who has risen to the pinnacle of a world. However, for some reason, Rugal gave off an empty atmosphere like an empty skull.
“…don’t you need anything?”
Rugal pointed at the last woman and said.
Among the women gathered here, she was definitely Catherine Jacques, a person with a beautiful and graceful appearance.
“Haa…
Catherine sighed and met Rugal’s eyes. And again, he started talking about his requirements.
“I’m very offended and annoyed right now, so I don’t want you to talk to me.”
At Catherine’s disrespectful words and actions, the other women felt like their livers were sinking, and they were frightened. Instead of Catherine, they hurriedly prostrated themselves on the floor and begged for forgiveness.
However, Catherine did not even change her gaze as she glared at Rugal.
Rugal was also not normal. He, too, did not change his expression even after hearing Catherine’s stupid words and actions, and answered like this.
“I will listen.”
“In the East, even a person as tall as you can become an emperor.”
The women lying on the floor wanted to kill Katherine at any moment.
I don’t know why he went so far when he could have been sold to a pig of a noble family and lived a life less than livestock.
“It is true.”
When Rugal answered, Catherine took a moment to catch her breath.
“Ha… you can kill someone like me at any time, is this? Or do you think it’s an insect’s madness and it’s not worth responding to?”
“Your Majesty! I’m a crazy woman! I was the first woman who said this bitch’s muzzle le… silk clothes. At that moment, Rugal reached out to the woman.
Surprisingly, the woman floated into the air as if strangled by Rugal’s grip. Even though there was a distance of about seven steps between the woman and Rugal’s hands.
“Jim didn’t order me to tell you more.”
“I’m so sorry!”
tight.
As soon as Rugal grabbed his hand, the woman twisted her neck and died. This time, too, Katherine couldn’t hide her surprise and frowned.
When the woman’s corpse fell to the floor, the rest of the women only trembled with their foreheads on the ground.
“Red hair. What is your name?”
“…If I don’t tell you, are you going to kill me like this woman?”
“Say your name.”
“I won’t tell you. You will never know my name.”
Catherine said, barely suppressing her pounding chest.
“Forever. Haha… I’ll watch.”
“Incompetent human who can hold weights.”
“Yes.”
Wow, everything like that.
Catherine turned around and walked towards the outside of the throne room.
“Where are you going?”
“You said you were a concubine? Isn’t this imperial castle my home now? Can’t I even roam around my house on my own?”
“I will not allow you to go outside the imperial castle.”
“Is that so?”
Katherine kicked the audience room door and stepped out into the hallway.
Then, I immediately went to the bathroom by asking the guards waiting outside the door for directions.
Until Eltainer, Yuma and the others ran for ten full days.
It was not difficult to pass through Eltainer’s gateway, which was grander than Balipoa’s. It was because Natalie also had a new ID that Oliver had prepared for her.
The party left the weary horses in the stable and was walking along with Ballinan. It was to find someone Ballinan knew and ask for help.
“…Ballynan.”
“huh! Brother Yuma.”
“Is there really someone out there we can turn to for help?”
“Well then! The royal family is the royal family. thats my friend The ranks within the Eltainer Imperial Castle endlessly converge to the bottom.”
“The royal family?”
“huh. Dogs are also an outlier that runs away from home all the time, but since they have a lot in common with me, we got along well.”
The rest of the party, including Yuma, looked suspicious.
“No matter how you look at it, this place looks like a beggar’s lair, doesn’t it? Master Ballinan.”
“Umm…. The atmosphere in the neighborhood has changed a lot in the past few years. It used to be a wealthy village.”
“This used to be a wealthy village? Where are you looking?”
“Really. It seems that some parts of the rich village have been ruined , but if you turn this alley, you will find
the grand secret residence of the royal family in the east .
“Oh, why the hell are you like this? Um, this isn’t it.”
Natalie sighed as she looked at Ballinan scratching her head.
“It seems that the princess has come to her senses. Or maybe Rugal destroyed this rich village out of concern for the dignity of the imperial family.”
At that time, a girl from the back of the group screamed.
“Ballinan! Ballinon, right?”
“Lhasa!”
She was a girl about the same height as Ballinan, and she was the royal family that Ballinan had spoken of.
