◈ 043. [Side Story] Evangeline Cross
The spear thrown by the unidentified girl accurately hit the wheel of the wagon.
Tight! Kudangtangtang!
The wagon wheels smashed by the sudden spear shot bounced in all directions.
“Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah?!”
The wagon, which had lost its wheel, slid along the road and eventually came to a halt.
hee hee! hee hee hee!
The frightened horses screamed and ran in all directions.
“Oh, oh, oh, what is this… .”
I couldn’t come to my senses at the sudden commotion.
I know that some girl came abruptly and broke the wheel of the wagon. and?
Then the carriage door burst open and Lucas poked his head inside.
“Are you okay, Your Highness?!”
I waved my hand.
“don’t worry. because I’m fine It’s a bit dizzy, but… … .”
“I will support you. Come out at once.”
Supported by Lucas, I staggered to the ground.
Fortunately, no one was hurt.
After making sure I wasn’t hurt, Lucas sighed in relief and yelled at the assailant.
“What kind of guy are you!”
“… .”
“Do you dare to point the spear at me knowing who this is? I will immediately arrest you and punish you severely!”
The unidentified girl who destroyed the carriage is standing in the middle of the road. with a very goofy look.
After taking a deep breath, I was able to take a closer look at the girl.
Her pale platinum hair, quite long, was tied lightly at the back of her neck.
The pointy eyes are bright green, and the canine teeth peek out from between the pursed lips.
“… You are a child.”
Yes. very young Fourteen years old even if you hit a lot? fifteen years old? I guess I’m younger than that.
“You shouldn’t look down on me because I’m young, Your Highness. You appear to be a trained combatant.”
“Have you been trained?”
“Look at the clothes that child is wearing.”
clothes? why clothes? After hearing what Lucas said, I checked the girl’s clothes.
A black skirt with a white jacket with gold embroidery. And he’s wearing a red cloak on his back.
“… uniform?”
Somehow it was a familiar style, so I asked Lucas while pointing with my finger.
“Is that a school uniform?”
“yes. This is the Imperial Imperial Academy’s school uniform. Looking at the pattern engraved on the cloak, I am certain.”
To put it simply, he was a student at the Knights Academy. It could also mean that you are at the age of eating school lunches.
“What are the academy students doing here! Reveal your identity!”
As Lucas continued to yell, the girl growled, exposing her sharp fangs.
“As for the question of what kind of person you are, this is what you are going to say. uncles.”
“What what? mister?”
I was furious at the sudden age-defying attack, but the girl remained aloof.
“If you are older than me, you are a man to me. no? right? Am I right?”
“Mmmmm!”
I couldn’t refute, so I just clenched my fists. Look at the unique spirit of this cheeky teenager… !
The girl pointed towards the manor house with a huge lance in her hand.
“This is the house where I lived. But when I came back after a long time, I saw soldiers I had never seen before taking over? Our family flag, which has been hung for hundreds of years, is also down at will.”
The girl’s eyes, which had been pointedly open, narrowed.
“Are they the bandits who have been a nuisance for a long time? Either he or the operative forces of the enemy country have infiltrated it. I was thinking about the lack of information, but the men were driving a wagon, so I stopped to ask a question.”
“Hey, you can do it with words! Did you have to break the wagon!”
“I was taught at school to subdue the enemy first if you suspect it.”
Chuck-
girl lightly turned her spear toward us.
“So who are the uncles? Why are you taking over someone else’s house? Depending on the answer, it may hurt a little, so please answer carefully.”
An angry Lucas answered for me.
“What nonsense! This is the mansion where the Lord of Crossroads lives. Of course it belongs to the lord!”
“… ? So what do you mean by that?”
The girl also seemed to have no idea what the English language was.
“Is Yeongju here my father?”
There was silence for a while.
Lucas and I exchanged glances. It was because he realized the identity of the girl standing in front of him.
“Right. you… .”
I uttered the girl’s name slowly.
“… Evangeline Cross.”
When her name was called, the girl raised her pointy eyes.
“Do you know me, mister?”
“I heard a lot about you from your father.”
When our eyes met, it was only then that I could feel that this girl was the daughter of Marshal Cross. The green eyes are just perfect.
‘No, but wait a minute.’
The SSR-ranked tanker Evangeline Cross I saw in the game is obviously a tall and beautiful woman.
The girl in front of me is young, but above all… … .
“… It is much smaller than I thought.”
is short-lived.
It seems to be two heads smaller than me.
He is small in stature and small in stature. Even the fingers holding the spear were twisted.
Because he didn’t look that young in the game and he was tall.
The images were so different that I couldn’t immediately recognize them.
‘Why is it so different? Lucas and Jupiter had a similar image to the game?’
I was comparing Evangeline in the game and Evangeline here in my head when Lucas pressed his elbow on my side. uh? what’s the matter?
“Here, Your Highness. It’s like judging someone’s appearance in front of them. It is rude to say that… … .”
“omg.”
When I stopped thinking and looked ahead, Evangeline’s expression hardened coldly. Just looking at it, it seems crazy.
“No no Miss Evangeline! There is a misunderstanding. It’s not that you’re short, it’s that I saw you in the game… … No, I meant that it was slightly smaller than I imagined!”
“… .”
I hurriedly waved my arms and spat out excuses (sincerely), but of course the situation was not resolved.
Evangeline’s eyebrows quivered.
“You seem to have a lot in stock when you make fun of other people’s body complexes right in front of your nose?”
“No, there is only one… .”
“Then you should have saved your frugality.”
Evangeline grabbed the giant underwater spear round and round.
“I changed my mind. A little while ago, I poked a little to ask about the situation, but now I’m going with sincerity.”
Goooooh –
Intangible fighting spirit rushed around the girl who held the spear.
Even I, an outsider, felt like the wind was blowing, so it was no joke.
Sreung!
Lucas, standing in front of me with his sword drawn, yelled.
“Retract the spear Miss Evangeline Cross! The person in front of you is the 3rd prince of the empire, Ash!”
Then Evangeline snorted.
“Following the unauthorized occupation of someone else’s house, are you impersonating the imperial family now? Creativity is fine, but isn’t it lacking in probability?”
“what?”
“The famous wretch 3rd prince! There is no reason to come down to a remote village like this!”
No, I’m really down!
Tuhak!
As Evangeline spurred the ground, a shallow crater formed where her little foot landed.
When I closed my eyes and opened them, the girl spearman had flown right in front of me. It is similar to missile speed.
Chaeeng-!
Lucas swung his sword and deflected the stabbed spear.
The tip of the spear and the blade of the sword gnawed at each other, firing red sparks. Evangeline’s eyes flashed.
“Oh, is this guy doing well?”
“Of course not, Ms. Evangeline. I’m also your academy senior… … !”
Correcting his posture, Lucas introduced himself.
“My name is Lucas MacGregor, deputy chief of the 369th class of the Imperial Academy.”
Oh cha seat! You were second in the grade, Lucas? That’s great!
Lucas suddenly pointed his hand at me in admiration.
“By the way, His Highness Prince Ash behind me is also your academy senior!”
uh? okay? really? Am I out there too?
“Among the 369th class cadets, he is truly a legend among legends!”
Besides, I became a legend?!
“What legend? What legend was it, Lucas? huh?”
“Ummm… .”
However, just saying it was a legend, Lucas didn’t elaborate further. Besides, it seems that he is avoiding my gaze for some reason.
Feeling anxious for some reason, I asked cautiously.
“Here Lucas. Can I ask you one question?”
“Mu, of course, Your Highness. whatever.”
“that… What was my rank at graduation?”
“… .”
Lucas, who had stiffened for a moment, gave a reluctant answer while breaking out in a cold sweat.
“… 1 1st place.”
“… from behind?”
“… Yes.”
I smacked myself on the aching forehead.
“So it was a legend?”
“Yeah what… It doesn’t mean anything like that, but… … As expected, he inherited the blood of the emperor! Because you gave up your studies and played hotly and confidently! 1st place from the back was also the rank he was aiming for!”
Oh my gosh, arrogance! Yes, if you want to play around, you have to eat at least the last place in the whole school. Great job Ash Kim!
“I can’t believe he even pretended to be a senior at our school… You really do a lot of things, guys.”
Evangeline, who had been listening to our non-comic talk, corrected her posture.
The hand that did not hold the spear stretched out to the side, then pulled it forward to the chest and lowered the waist.
Bring one leg back and slightly bend both knees.
It was a beautiful and elegant manner without any distractions. If it weren’t for the huge cavalry spear held in one hand.
“All right. Then, to the ‘seniors’, Evangeline Cross, an early senior graduate of the 375th class… … .”
Right after that, he raised his emerald-colored eyes and
said, “Hello!”
Tuhak-!
flew in
Lucas didn’t lose and rushed at him.
visor! Chae Chaeng! Tsukaak-!
The two knights clashed with each other brandishing spears and swords.
Skills are completely whitewashed. It’s a dead end.
That’s because they’re both SSR-level characters. They are one of few combat geniuses in this world.
We can say that each other’s talents are equal.
Tsukak! Kagagagak!
However, little by little the battle gave Lucas an advantage.
More and more, Lucas was attacking and Evangeline was defending.
Evangeline was in a hurry to block Lucas’ sharp attack.
Equal in talent, but perhaps a difference in experience.
Lucas, who had gone through countless battles to protect me, had a knack for it. A dignity that Evangeline, who was still young, did not have.
“Chit!”
It was then. Evangeline, completely on the defensive, frowned between her brows and put something on her left arm from her back.
“You’re better than the teachers at my school, mister? I wasn’t going to bring this up!”
It was a small eagle-shaped shield.
Chunk!
When Evangeline put the shield on her left arm, the eagle’s wings unfolded and extended horizontally.
spear in the right hand. shield on the left arm.
When I saw it, I felt it.
‘She really is the Marquis’s daughter.’
Evangeline, who corrected her posture, lunged at Lucas again.
“Now we’re going with real power!”
Lucas, whose expression hardened, silently raised his sword and returned it.
Chae Ae-Aeng!
Taking out the shield, Evangeline’s combat power improved noticeably.
Lucas’s sharp sword strike was spilled with his shield, and he attacked by swinging the huge spear in his right hand lightly like a feather.
Before he pulled out his shield, he was clearly pushed, but now the two of them were facing each other tightly again.
‘It’s nice to see, but.’
The confrontation between the two extremely trained masters was eye-opening and splendid.
Like fireworks in the air, sparks exploded whenever metal collided with metal.
‘But cool is cool. Who will get hurt if I do this.’
In fact, neither of them is really fighting to kill each other. If that was the case, I would have spent a lot of time using my skills.
However, even if it is a fight that is not a matter of life and death, it is still dangerous.
It should dry slowly. I stepped forward.
“hey! quit both stop! Just go there!”
visor! Chae Ae-Aeng!
“There seems to be a misunderstanding, but let’s solve it through dialogue. Yes?”
Chi Kang! Cheng Kang!
“hey? can’t you hear me? Guys?”
I guess I can’t hear The two knights are completely engrossed in their duel with each other.
‘How can there be no way to stop it?’
The battle between the two is completely antagonistic.
If that’s the case, a third party will have no choice but to break in and ruin the fun.
I looked down at my hands. The SSR grade lucky weapon ‘Lucky Strike’ shined and appealed to its presence.
‘I have no choice but to do this!’
It doesn’t matter if it’s a sloppy attack. You just need to be able to apply the brakes in this situation.
Fortunately or unfortunately, Evangeline doesn’t pay attention to me at all.
Dealing with Lucas seems daunting.
I sneaked up close to the two of them.
It seems that my presence as a combatant is faint. I don’t really care.
‘Just hit me lightly, very lightly!’
I clench my fists and catch my breath.
ok go!
“It’s Prince Punch!”
I impulsively held out my fist and said,
“What?! when?!”
When I suddenly screamed and stretched out my fist, Evangeline, startled, reflexively raised her shield to block my fist.
The moment my fist and shield met, a slot in one corner of my field of vision began to spin tight.
Tring!
7.
Huh?
As soon as the ones digit appeared, a chill went down my spine.
It was kind of like a hunch as a gamer.
followed by the tens place.
Tring!
7.
The premonition that ‘something has happened’ flashed through my brain like a thunderbolt.
no way?
Wait a minute. isn’t it? no way? really?
And the number in the last hundred digits is –
T-ring!
7.
Aaaaaaaagh!
It floated! 777- that it really floated!
Shocked, I opened my mouth.
Why is this floating here?!
