Chapter 255. Why do you always think of assassination when you’re wrong? (4) A small shield about the size of covering Lua’s raised wrist.
This is also an artifact that has the same effect as the Guardian Shield.
It is a miniature object for use in assassination or covert operations.
Although unlike shields used in actual combat, it was a failure, so it was effective only once, but it was enough to use to assassinate in confusion.
Originally, the plan was to use this to sweep the main base of the Ernesia Kingdom army.
‘I have no choice but to write now.’
Using this, she intended to strike back at Kania’s sword and use the opportunity to counterattack.
Above all, her swordsmanship is not normal.
If it’s reflected, I won’t be able to do anything either.
The blue sword emitted from Kania’s sword cut Lua’s sword in two.
As expected, it was a sharp swordsman.
Lua put up the shield on her wrist without hesitation.
It was effective without any doubt, and it deflected Kania’s aura’s sword technique.
“???? oh?”
Apparently, Cania Ernesia looked suspicious as if she didn’t know about this effect at all.
It’s done with this.
Lua was relieved inwardly.
One… It was until there that she was sure of victory.
Kania’s sword disappeared from sight.
“What’?!”
That moment.
First, the reflected sword energy scattered.
And almost at the same time, the armor and shield that Lua was wearing were all shattered into pieces.
Even Lua himself suffered countless sword wounds and fell in vain, bleeding.
“…how?”
He counterattacked the propelled sword with a sword, and counterattacked with countless swords.
However, the person himself does not understand what happened to him at all, and Lua loses consciousness while spurting blood.
“…Ah, come to think of it, the leader? I’m saying it again just in case you don’t know. Be careful if any of them have suspicious-looking shields… Ah… it’s too late.”
Among the knights who were suppressing the death squad’s subordinates, Adjutant Meika approached a step late and clicked her tongue.
However, the target she was looking at was not Kania, but the assassin.
“Fortunately, you remembered correctly.
I was worried that I might have forgotten this time too.”
“no. I didn’t know that Did you talk about it before?”
Kania shook her head.
It’s not a joke, it’s a face that really forgot.
“As I was coming, I checked the report sent by Arell and told you. …. Wait? I didn’t know, how did you break that?”
“persimmon.”
” yes?”
“It’s a feeling. For some reason, it seemed like it would break if I hit it properly.”
Meika had to look at her as if she was dumbfounded as she put the sword in and spoke sincerely.
Did she destroy the troublesome weapon of the Holy Kingdom, which others practiced under the advice of Arel, with only intuition, talent, and instinct?
“Wow… the difference in talent was so absurd!”
“…Meika? What do you mean now?”
“Oh, nothing. Anyway, if I didn’t really look here, I would have been in big trouble. As Meika evaded, Kania opened her chest wide as if she was bragging about something.
“Look, did you do well to find it here?”
“That’s right, well… the captain is saying that. It’s not just a day or two.
That’s what came here in the first place.
Originally, he should have joined Pahilia’s main force early, but on the way, Kania said that he was bothered by it, and changed course at will.
It’s obvious, but first of all, permission was granted.
Even if the reason is because of your own intuition.
I don’t understand, but he’s still the leader.
Without complaint, everyone searches the mountain as it is.
Isn’t there really an enemy soldier in ambush?
Upon learning this fact, Meika was both amazed and complicated in many ways.
‘…Will this princess be a dog in her previous life?’
Meika, who had a very disrespectful sentiment toward herself, pointed to the woman who had been the leader of the assassination squad who had fallen covered in blood.
“leader? I’m asking just in case. Is that still alive?”
“Don’t worry, I didn’t kill Meika as you asked.”
Kania proudly shrugged.
Just in case, I looked and saw that he was breathing.
yes breathless
“….wow! I’m really holding my breath! If you touch this wrong, you will die!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t die.”
It looks like it will stop breathing right away if you touch it, but it won’t die if you say you won’t die.
Meika instructed his men to capture them as carefully as possible.
Other soldiers and knights were very rebellious during the suppression process, and they had no choice but to kill them all because they did not know what they would do.
However, only the leader of the assassins needs to be captured alive.
Whether it’s the culprit or a lot of information, there’s a lot to find out.
That’s why Meika asked Kania to capture her alive before she could stop her.
Of course, it was also advice from someone other than Meika’s dogma.
“Then let’s hurry up and take this gift and join Arel-nim’s unit.”
huh.
Late at night, I received a report that the knights led by Cania sister had joined.
As I waited, my sister herself appeared soon after.
“Arel? long time no see?.”
“yes? Long time no see sister.”
You still don’t have the slightest bit of dignity like a knight commander.
“You’re much later than expected. Did something else happen?”
Originally, the 16th Knights led by her should have joined the main force before sunset.
But it was a bit late.
I already know the reason why she postponed joining, saying she had other things, because I saw a report sent by her sister’s assistant, Meika.
“Did you find what you were looking for?”
“Yeah, I brought you a present too.”
“…I don’t usually say that I caught it. No, you wouldn’t even consider it a gift before that, right?”
If anyone hears it, they’ll think they caught a bear from the mountain.
I glanced at the bloodied woman outside the barracks, surrounded by soldiers and knights, and sighed.
The first time I dragged it in and put it down on the floor as a gift, I was a little embarrassed no matter how much I was.
No matter how well you know the context, I think people with common sense will be surprised if you bring a human covered in blood as a gift… maybe.
“So, it seems that the assassin was sent from that kingdom?”
“Yeah, I guess.”
“Are you not dead?”
“At least for now.”
Does that mean now or die?
Well, even when I looked at it, I almost felt admiration that I managed to survive that way.
Kania noona secretly glanced sideways.
Then, the adjutant Meika, who had been silent until now, knelt down and raised her head.
Yeah, you’re leaving the explanation to him.
When I gave permission to look up, Meika began to explain instead.
“Where did you get it… that…
is as I saw and told you earlier.”
“okay. I read the report you sent.”
….I know how Kania-sister suddenly felt that there must be something suspicious over there and then turned around and caught the assassin.
“…Really.”
However, Meika was showing signs of restlessness, fearing that I would get angry at her for not making up such nonsense.
Trust me please. It sounded like I was screaming in my heart.
Well, that’s usually the case.
Usually, when I send a report like that, I get very upset.
“Don’t worry, Sir Meika…. I understand. So I know.”
“As expected, it is Arel-nim.”
The meaning of ‘as expected’ bothers me a lot, but it’s okay anyway.
Meika may not have realized it yet, but Kania’s intuition is not simply a coincidence.
There are times when the master’s senses beyond a certain level almost enter the stage of prediction.
In particular, natural human beings have such a tendency even more strongly.
In the case of Kania’s older sister, her senses belonged to the case of geniuses like beasts, so even the slightest intuition could not be ignored.
There must have been a pretty elaborate calculation in a place she wasn’t even aware of.
That’s what being an unaware genius is.
….It’s like dirty talent.
“And she’s the only assassin captured alive.”
“sorry. Maybe the situation was the situation…
Meika bowed her head instead as if she had no face.
I understand.
It’s because the opponent is an assassin unit who doesn’t know what they have in the dark and bad terrain.
It’s the right way to deal with everything before committing something useless.
I have no reason to criticize them.
There was even one captured alive somewhere.
It is also called a commander.
That’s enough.
“It’s okay, that’s enough.”
….And it doesn’t matter if you’re not captured alive.
Even if you killed it, there is no way to find out.
It’s because I can’t write it openly.
My food taste is also diminished.
“By the way, I was quite surprised when I saw the face of the assassin. That is surprising.”
“uh? Are you sure you know Arel?”
My older sister asks as if she were surprised.
“It’s a face I remember rather than an acquaintance.”
At first, he roughly answered like that.
“…By the way, I never thought my sister would catch the assassin… Thanks to her, I was spared a big trouble.”
“huh! how is it! Isn’t that great?”
“No, that’s true too…
I just laughed it off as if I was embarrassed.
“uh?”
Meika, who was tilting her head while listening to our conversation, seemed to realize that the atmosphere was subtle.
The soldiers standing guard, the knights, and Dia, who was waiting quietly in a corner of the barracks, were sending a lukewarm atmosphere.
Aren’t you usually more nervous or surprised when you find out that an assassin has come?
However, it was strange that some of them even smiled bitterly.
“…I wonder if you knew?”
“Roughly.”
At first, it was just like that.
I’m sorry for them, but I predicted that they would actually attempt an assassination.
Common sense tells us that it’s good terrain at such a good opportunity, so it’s worth trying an assassination.
So I deliberately instructed everyone to prepare and waited patiently for the guests.
….I didn’t expect that customer to be delivered after being caught by the wrong person and beaten.
I can only say that the assassin had bad luck.
It was destined to fail anyway, but it failed more miserably, so it’s really pitiful.
I would have been convinced if I had tried and failed.
That’s what life is like.
A person who can’t do anything can’t do anything.
My sister, who finally noticed this subtle atmosphere, was embarrassed.
“ah? Did you do something wrong?”
“No, you did well enough. If possible, it is best to subdue these sprouts in advance.”
The reason we didn’t go out to catch them was because, more than anything else, they would run away if we moved.
It did well in that respect.
Although Kania-noona looked around so as not to feel embarrassed.
Still, I was a little disappointed.
….I was even preparing to greet you on purpose.
I also prepared a surprise.
It couldn’t be the first assassination attempt, right? oops!
childhood.
Before I got the manor and became independent, spoiled night guests who were aiming at me or my mother’s neck without realizing it would sometimes come to play.
Each time I played with them without anyone noticing.
Because an assassin is truly the best gift to relieve the accumulated sadism.
I was looking forward to this as well.
It’s been a while since I’ve been an assassin!
I was excited about how to cook.
Just right! I had prepared a surprise event that would make me feel embarrassed the moment I hid and entered my place…
I was sullen.
If possible, I would have laughed at the disappointed face of the assassin.
It was a bit disappointing.
what happened
So instead, give me despair in a different way.
It must have been my neck anyway.
Then you won’t complain no matter what happens.
