EP.232 The Princess of Ruin, the First Resistance The
flowing land itself forms a valley.
The meta conveyor belt should not have a difference in height, so when building a road in the northern highlands, the military conducted a grand construction that will go down in history.
Normally, flowing water cuts the land for a long time to form a valley, but in the army, countless people carved the valley to make the land flow. A human feat that even twists the providence of nature. Even though it was the work of the enemy, I couldn’t help but pay my respects.
No, is the enemy right?
As a child she doesn’t even remember, the country killed her parents. The soldiers who initiated the coup dared to execute the king and queen of Grandiomor, the rightful owners of the kingdom, on a ridiculous charge.
It wasn’t enough, so he tried to sever the bloodline of one of the few noble royal families left in the world. He dared to commit the reverse of overthrowing the king.
Therefore, I heard that Yerien Grandiomor should hate them…
but the resentment weaved with knowledge is loose and quickly dissipates. No matter how much he pondered, Jerien couldn’t find anger.
last princess. The words of the royal family of Grandiomor that have come down from time immemorial.
However, in front of Mother Nature, the infinitely small girl was looking at the endlessly flowing land. half immersed in wonder.
Then, a familiar white handkerchief caught her eye. Yerien murmured.
“…That handkerchief.”
The guardian knight Sir Randemeyer, who was standing still beside her, nodded.
“It belongs to the princess. They really seem to be right…”
Sir Landemayer muttered in disbelief, then looked at Jerien with amazement. He spoke in an excited voice, full of respect, awe and admiration.
“Awesome! How did the princess know they would come this way? After all, a person of noble blood must have the foresight that a criminal would not dare to reach!”
Even if Yerien whistles, these people will say that it is a celestial tone. Even though I was used to having my face painted with gilt, I was still ashamed. Yerien smiled awkwardly.
“Ehehe. It’s not because I have no choice. This is the only number of cases in which we, who have made the North our base, can meet them. To put it simply, it’s like a gamble with one card.”
“Unusual insight and heavenly luck that made it possible. That is the quality of a monarch! The princess has them all!”
“Ehehe…”
The supreme princess covered her face with a slightly reluctant smile. Could it be because the love and admiration was too great? The knight couldn’t read the anguish hidden behind Yerien’s face.
Sir Randemeyer, who was looking at the container, cautiously brought out the next item.
“By the way, Princess. With all due respect, may I dare to say something about the delegation?”
“If you’re going to tell me not to go, don’t. That’s what I decided.”
“I beg you. princess! Dangerous!”
Sir Landemayer, as if not getting tired of it, tried to undo the decision of his master in an outrageous way.
Knowing that it was to pay respect in an ambiguous sense, but knowing that it came from loyalty, Yerien lightly shook her head.
“The conclusion is the same. I will come out myself.”
“Please reconsider. Dangerous. The opponent is…”
“I know. However, it is out of the question that those who want to use that power are unable to take risks because of fear. Lord Landemire, I must go as your lord and representative of the Resistance.”
“Keugh…! If so, at least an escort…”
“Sir Landemayer is enough, right? He is the last knight of the Kingdom and the strongest of the Resistance. Or will you not protect me?”
“How could that be! I will risk my life to protect it! but…!”
There are some things that cannot be kept with determination alone.
25 years ago, when the royal castle burned and honor fell to the ground. When the naked face of a noble duel is revealed by a human being. Realizing this at the age of only ten, Sir Landemayer squeezed the handle of the spear and let out a choked voice.
“Since the founder, Tirkanjaka, is a legendary vampire, I will say that. but! A boy swordsman named Shay is a monster that has equaled the best for his age!”
“kyung. Never mind. That boy is just a little bit of a jubilant song.”
“That’s a monster! A monster that alone might destroy the country!”
How long did the knight reign in this world under the value of a noble duel?
However, the honor of the kingdom was shattered after the value of the duel was used backwards. A duel started by just one person turned the kingdom upside down. The fact that the remnants of the kingdom were scattered, and the fact that they could not recover even though they had such great power. It’s because the value they protect is broken.
As long as there is a great song, knights are not born. just dying
“If, by any chance, the princess is harmed…!”
“kyung. Shh.”
Yerien made an angry expression. Randemeyer immediately lowered his head and fell to his knees.
After emphasizing her discomfort with a short silence, Yerien relaxed her expression and said a kind word.
“I am the princess of a ruined country. to take risks. My duty includes that.”
Randemeyer did not answer. It was not because he had nothing to say, but because of the precepts that he could not speak unless his lord permitted him to. Yerien felt uncomfortable even though she often used that precept.
What was a knight and what was a king? Why did people abandon the king? Maybe this is why the king disappeared.
Yerien said with a bitter smile.
“And I bet you. They won’t be too dangerous. As far as I can see, yes.”
I only took words and named it insight, but in fact there is no basis. It is like looking at the front, which is full of corner enemies who have already been cornered, and shouting,
But I had no choice. Those who run out of stake are all-in every moment.
The princess doesn’t know what the kingdom looks like. I don’t know if the country described in the martial arts poem is valuable enough to be restored at the risk of one’s life.
But many people saved her, cared for her, and loved her. Yerien cannot abandon those who took care of her.
Even if not a princess, as everyone’s daughter. Yerien was determined to do her duty.
Resolved, she smiled gently and called her friend.
He has no interest in restoring the kingdom, so he is not bound by duty.
A precious friend who lost his friend and future right-hand man to the military.
“And Shiati will help me.”
The resistance princess, who got on the meta conveyor belt and visited the container we were staying in, ran into a difficult situation.
‘Hehehe… I didn’t expect it to happen like this at all…’
I agree.
It was good that the Resistance approached with vigor. The fact that the leader was the princess of a ruined country was also known by reading the thoughts of the regressor.
Well, in order to unite the remnants of the ruined country, you must be blood relatives of the royal family. In order to continue resisting for nearly 25 years, it is important that the heart is not broken.
but.
“Ahaha! Nice to meet you, Historia! too! so much!”
To think that the survivors of Hameln would be by the princess’s side.
“Hey you too! I never thought I would be reunited with a familiar face here!”
Should I say hello or not?
A prosthetic arm on the right arm. Roughly tanned skin from being active in the sun for a long time. Even so, a creaking smile as if something was broken.
Historia closed her eyes and turned her head away. However, there is no escape from being tied up. The prosthetic arm on her right arm grabbed her chin.
It is fearless. Even now that he is tied up, he can easily destroy at least one person. To come so close to the topic of resistance against the military.
The princess hiding behind the guardian knight’s back rolled her eyes.
“City Siati. He… He’s a succulent, right? Even if you’re tied up, isn’t it a bit dangerous to get too close? I want to.”
But Shiati doesn’t stop. Instead, Historia withdraws that much. Overwhelmed by Shiati’s momentum, he tried to turn his head away as if he wanted to turn away.
But traces of the past clung to Historia like eyelids. Having reached the state of qigong, she perfectly portrayed Shiati’s figure even with her eyes closed. His violent spirit, his excited breath, and even his prosthetic arm moving so unnaturally that it barely straddled the unpleasant valley.
“Oh, don’t worry, Princess. I told you. A close friend of a high-ranking military official.”
Shiati pulled Historia’s shoulders. I desperately tried to get away from it, but there was no way to shake off Shiati without using my strength while being tied up. Their hearts touched and their blatant gaze turned to Historia. Historia clenched her teeth and lowered her gaze.
“Even… my precious friend. You are the lifesaver who saved my life. You don’t know how happy I was when he rescued me while digging through the bottom of the river in Hameln.”
As if making fun of a prisoner, without fear, he forcibly pulled Yuk’s face and rubbed his cheeks. Shiati smiled a lot of joy.
“Because it means even monsters have human hearts! It means that we can hurt even the daughter of a military nation that seemed invincible with our own power!!”
Bottom of the Hameln River.
The children decided to walk on the riverbed with their arms crossed.
The risk of being swept away by the current is great, so they planned to hold each other like chains.
A few, including Dan Shiati, who had completely abandoned hope, chose to just let it go.
He said that it would be more shocking if some bodies floated away, and decided to drown with Nicholas and the corpses of the children killed by the beast.
The children shed tears and grabbed Shiati. However, Siati’s will was firm.
A scapegoat would be needed anyway, and the more people died, the less suspicious the military would be. It takes a real drowned body to look like a suicide.
Having lost his right arm and groaning with scars, he says that he is the right person for it.
He said he would rather die and cause a little damage to the military than he would survive and become nothing.
He said that with a half-serious, half-desperate laugh.
It was an excuse to shake off the disapproval of friends.
however.
To the children united by repeated hardships, the grand justification for giving up their lives was too sweet.
Although not intended, her words reached the hearts of children.
They must have already had enough reasons to give up their lives. However, the instinct as a life imprinted on the body was holding on to it.
Humans often learn the ability to give up their lives for the invisible. The harsh teaching of the military state that one can lay down one’s life for one’s country is also part of it.
It turned against the military in reverse.
for friends.
for those who survive.
To torment a hated country.
The children who were walking on the riverbed with their arms crossed relaxed their arms and shoulders one by one. Instead of stepping out the next leg, I took off the foot I had landed on.
The chains that held each other together broke and flowed down the river.
no maybe A powerful invisible chain may have entangled and dragged them all.
Historia, who came downriver in search of the children who just happened to have disappeared, witnessed the scene and tried to save the children who were drifting away. However, no matter how strong the force, even the daughter of the military could not hold on to the life that gave up on living.
The life Historia saved by swimming herself in the horrifying scene right in front of her eyes… ironically. Only a few people, including Shiati, who had flown first.
They committed themselves to the resistance, vowing to kill the military even if they died.
The true resistance was born and raised in a military country, not a remnant of the old power.
