Episode 33. live! (2)
The gatekeepers of the Zach family were taken aback by Yuma’s sudden appearance. It was because he looked very urgent with a dirty look.
In addition, I saw the appearance of Natalie, who seemed to be dying soon.
“Master, is Master inside!?”
“Lord Duran has been out for a while!”
The gatekeeper opened the gate and answered. Yuma was a person who was more free than Zach, who could enter and exit the mansion of the Zach family.
Indeed, the gatekeepers of the House of Jacques were well trained.
The gatekeeper grasped the critical situation at a glance and spread the situation while looking for the exclusive doctors of the Zach family. As soon as another Yuma came in, he quickly closed the gate.
A commotion ensued. The gatekeepers ran and chatted across the garden, and the nobles of the Zach family focused their attention on Yuma.
“You commoner bastard! With such a dirty mess about where is this place…
When he visited the Zach family last time, he was an incompetent person whose only name was Zach, who had cursed at Yuma alone.
“Get out of the way!”
Yuma pushed him roughly and ran into the mansion.
“Yuma! What the hell is this!”
Sensing a commotion soon after, Catherine Jacques jumped out.
She was sitting by the window reading a book, and when she saw Yuma coming, she hurriedly ran to it.
After Yuma left for Joheim, I had been wondering what he was doing for a while. He was contemplating how to make an excuse for following the second demon cave subjugation.
However, it came out of nowhere, like a man who had just returned from a battlefield.
“I don’t have time to explain, ma’am. Call Sir Adeline Woods and the Zach family doctors!”
It was also the first time that Catherine had seen Yuma like this. That’s why I couldn’t be sarcastic toward Yuma like I usually do.
I could feel the urgency in Yuma’s voice and eyes. Paradoxically, I could see something like fighting spirit and will burning brightly in his anxiously shaking eyes.
She looked up and glanced at Natalie, who was roped in by Jecca, and immediately took stock of the situation.
“Hello! Move that woman to the hospital room immediately. And send a message to your father to return to the family soon!”
Katherine shouted in a booming voice. She deftly moved her servants to call in Adeline Woods and the Zach family’s own doctor.
As expected of the practical hostess of the Jacques family, she was not at all taken aback by the unexpected situation.
The servants were great as well. They prepared hot water and clean cloth disinfectants, although Catherine didn’t even give detailed instructions.
“You must be a woman who must live.”
Catherine deliberately put the word ‘woman’ in her words. They followed the servants carrying Natalie on a stretcher.
“Yes, colleague.”
When the word colleague came out, I felt relieved and annoyed. Catherine decided to help Yuma wholeheartedly so as not to offend herself further.
“I will not forget this debt, my lady.”
“Looks like there’s a commotion outside, so it looks like you did it.”
“I will explain later.”
After receiving an urgent report, the doctors belonging to the Zach family arrived at the hospital room. They immediately began preparing for surgery by cutting off Natalie’s clothes with scissors and disinfecting her entire body.
Natalie was coughing up foam and convulsing.
“You must save it. Support will come soon from the imperial family, so make sure to keep your breath until then.”
“Okay, lady!”
Catherine realized as soon as she saw that Natalie’s condition could not be revived with only the Zach family’s exclusive doctor.
After thinking about it for about a minute, Catherine ran to Duran Jacques’ room.
There was a seal rolling around randomly on the desk in Duran’s room.
It was the seal of the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army in the shape of two dragons biting each other.
[Since an honored guest of the Zach family is in critical condition, we immediately request the assistance of the Imperial Healing Wizard and the Imperial Doctor. major surgery required. Get there as quickly as possible. Kyle, Commander-in-Chief Duran Jacques.]
Katherine, who naturally imitated Duran’s handwriting, slammed the Commander-in-Chief’s seal on it.
It was Catherine, who carried out the commander-in-chief’s paperwork on behalf of Duran, even if it was only for simple tasks.
“Send it by the fastest mailing address.”
The operation went smoothly thanks to the basic preparations of the servants.
As the exclusive doctors belonged to Zach, the master of war and sword, they were also familiar with dealing with this kind of critical illness.
But even they couldn’t guarantee saving Natalie. First of all, he had to do his best to endure until the magic healers and doctors of the imperial family died.
As soon as the operation began, the skilled servants followed the doctors’ orders and ran until their feet sweated. Some servants transfused blood into Natalie.
Yuma and Zecca roughly wiped their faces and hands with a wet towel provided by a servant. Black blood scabs fell off.
There was no time to breathe.
“It’s a garrison! I received a report that the capital gate terrorism suspect is in the Zach family!”
“Please open the door!”
Before I knew it, the garrison knights who had tracked down Yuma’s party were lined up in front of the mansion’s gate.
Catherine rubbed her forehead and glared at Yuma.
“Gateway Terror? What the hell have you done?”
“They didn’t open the door, so they beat me a little. I had to save that friend.”
“I’m so full of energy that I can’t even curse.
Do you think you can live well in the Empire after doing such a thing?”
“That’s for later. Saving my comrades was my priority.”
“Haa… What kind of a nuisance is this?”
Catherine shook her head once and moved on.
In the meantime, other nobles who had noticed the commotion came to Catherine. They were Randel and Damian Jacques.
“What’s wrong with Catherine?”
Randel asked.
“Listen to him for an explanation. I have to go out now.”
“Are you leaving?”
“Look if you have eyes! Brother Randell, don’t you dare to see those things asking you to serve guests in front of the Zac family?”
“Ummm.”
Katherine trudges along, and Randel follows.
Yuma and Zeca Damian were left in the hallway. Damian didn’t say anything and just looked at Yuma with a cold gaze.
It was possible that the words of apology would come out, but Yuma ignored that gaze and thought about the future.
The inconvenience was the responsibility of Jecca.
“It’s a garrison! Jacques goes…
“Stop it! Did you know where this place is and brought this many troops? Are they all crazy?”
Katherine fired in a high-pitched voice. Randall also glared at the garrison with a face that had been weighed down for the first time in a long time.
“miss! Why is the Zach family hiding the mob?”
One of the commanders stepped forward and raised his voice.
“mob? Hey, if you don’t know the name.
Don’t speak ill of the guests of the Jacques with a pierced snout.”
“but!”
“If you say one more word, I’ll pretend I’ve heard a declaration of war that I’ll have a fight with the Zach family. Go away.”
The garrison knight hesitated and could not speak any more.
At Catherine’s side, Randall spewed out a bloody killing blow and was ready to pull out his twin swords at any moment.
flutter!
A flag was raised from behind the lined garrison troops.
The road opened in an instant based on the flag with the pattern of two swords crossed with an X.
It was a flag symbolizing the 1st Knights of the Capital. He hurriedly mobilized after receiving a request for support from the garrison.
A man on a white horse approached the gate exuding an intimidating aura.
“Katherine, open the door. Just check and go back.”
It was Sinclair Jacques, the 1st Knight Commander of the capital and the first son of Duran Jacques.
“Hey, Brother Sinclair. A guest of the family.”
“I know that, but public affairs are public affairs.
I have a duty to protect the empire.”
“Brother, is your head empty? It’s obvious. This is the result of someone messing around!”
Catherine heard Zecca’s story during the Magul subjugation. Duran also heard about Yuma’s blow to Heize. He was also familiar with the styles of Rollmandy and Hayes.
Katherine inferred Yuma’s situation, saying that it was inevitable because of the urgency of the situation.
The knights of the 1st Knights of the Capital and the knights and officers of the garrison were in awe of Catherine’s words and actions.
I mean, who the hell could say something like that to the head of the 1st Knights of the Capital?
Catherine glared at Sinclair without raising an eyebrow.
Sinclair sighed and turned her gaze to Randall.
“Randel…you have to convince Catherine. I can’t stand it.”
“Sorry, friend. If you go against Katherine in the Jacques, you’ll end up getting no food. You know that too, don’t you?”
Randall pulled out his twin swords.
Then, the knights who had been watching the situation from all over Zach jumped out at once and drew their swords. In an instant, close to 30 swordsmen from the Zach family gathered.
All of them were people who followed Jockey Randall.
“My friend, step aside. You are too big. If you get any closer than this, sad things will happen.”
Sinclay didn’t answer and looked straight ahead in silence.
“I will ask you one thing. Is this your father’s will…?”
“Yes, it’s my meaning!”
A voice of tremendous energy echoed from behind. Duran was striding forward with a blushing face.
“Kneel!”
When Duran shouted, all knights and troops except Sinclay fell to their knees. It was a cry of great power that could not be dared to disobey.
Duran hadn’t been so angry in a while.
Even the Imperial Household Guard could not display the momentum to use force in front of the gate of the Jacques family.
However, only the garrison and the order of knights made such a fuss in front of the Zach family!
In addition, the first son was at the forefront.
Wow!
Duran’s fist struck Sinclair’s white horse. The horse hit in the middle of the head collapsed and died.
“You foolish bastard, won’t you come down?”
As Sinclair stepped down, Duran mercilessly slapped him on the cheek. Sinclair didn’t groan even as he was beaten with the aura-encased palms.
“Is Jacques’s rider and my first son who can’t wrap up the family and sister? Did I teach you that?”
puck puck!
“father!”
Only the Empress and Catherine were the only ones in the world who could stop Duran Jacques from being so angry. Catherine opened the door, approached Duran, and raised her hand.
“If you’re going to beat it, beat it where no one can see it! Why is your father like this? Let the stomach fall. Older brother, put away the principles of that bastard too!”
Only then did Duran stomp and stop the sword.
All the knights and troops bowed their heads, unable to even look at Duran Zak, who dared to beat his child.
“joy! It’s because my hands and feet don’t fit like this. What are you doing! Come on, brother, bring me a towel to wipe your face with!”
Catherine herself wiped Sinclair’s face.
Catherine furrowed her brows as if upset, and nagged Sinclair.
Even if you know the personality of your father, why do you make things complicated and get punished?
“All wake up! Dissolve within 10 seconds. Unless you want to go after everything.”
Duran said, striking the ground with the sole of his foot. The stone floor collapsed and cracked.
A carriage carrying an imperial healing mage and a doctor was approaching among the rapidly dispersing people.
