“You’re still running wild like a crazy horse without even knowing the topic. “No commoner!”
Jerome’s face showed anger. It was an expression that was insufficient to simply express anger. Sabat spat.
“The guy next to you, get out. “If you fall, I’ll save you.”
He also knew about Xian, who was hanging around with Asuka. This is the utmost generosity he can show.
“No, we can go to Baden and tell them, so let’s get rid of them together.”
Jerome stopped him right away. His anger was so great that he could not show any leniency.
Sian muttered.
“I was planning on falling when told to fall.”
Asuka immediately rolled her eyes.
“You bastard.”
“I also enjoyed your tone.”
You reap what you sow. Asuka blurted out.
“You go over there and stay still. “I’ll figure it out myself.”
Although he fought against monsters in the forest of Pahe, the greatest hardship he experienced there was hanging on Elaga’s back.
Since there were no major conflicts in Veneta, there was no need to fight, so I felt a bit sore. The fingers holding the sword handle were tense.
“Think that everyone is dead.”
Sabat and Jerome also flinched at Asuka’s fierce tone as she stepped forward and spoke.
But the preparation on this side is not easy. Above all, they were absolutely numerous. Sabbat shouted through gritted teeth.
“Hit!”
Even so, how great can a swordsman who just graduated from the academy be?
Not only knights, but also experienced second-class mercenaries were hired at a premium.
According to the mercenary guild’s policy, they do not accept requests to persecute nobles, but if the other party is a commoner, they may secretly accept requests.
The knights and mercenaries of the Rugal family approached Asuka. Not an easy opponent for Asuka.
Life-risking experiences bring growth. Although not as much as Helmut, Asuka also gained income from Pahe’s Forest. Growth as a prosecutor. Just because it isn’t easy doesn’t mean you will lose.
“That’s the way to go.”
But their fight was fruitless.
“Stop!”
Suddenly, they felt a magical energy and knights appeared from nowhere and blocked their path.
They are all formidable talents. Sabat and Jerome’s eyes widened when they saw the pattern on their clothes.
“Why the Imperial Knights!”
A man walked out from among the knights.
Neat white wizard robe with a strict and cold look. Imperial patterns were similarly embroidered on his clothes.
Imperial wizard Miguel. She is a graduate of Greta Academy and, like Areana Teresa, is the top graduate of the academy. He was a distant senior to Sian and Asuka.
And the next chief wizard who holds a high position among the imperial wizards. He was a famous person that most nobles of the empire knew.
He slightly bowed his head to Asuka, then turned his head to the Sabat gang and exhaled coldly.
“Take these people away. “They have committed serious crimes.”
Several knights came forward and captured Sabat and his men, including Jerome. Standing up against the Imperial Knights means treason.
At this point, when Miguel appeared, it was impossible for the imperial nobles Sabbat and Jerome to rebel.
Jerome shouted, his face distorted.
“This is ridiculous! “What about that guy!”
“You will find out when you go to the Empire.”
Miguel spat out coldly. Several knights led the captured people and moved.
Once they were gone, Miguelo’s eyes turned to Sian. It was uncomfortable to see people blatantly judging whether they were enemies or not.
‘I couldn’t see it coming. It means they used magic to kill their presence. If I didn’t feel that, then it means that he is much higher in skill than me.’
There are so many knights, but resistance is meaningless.
Sian blinked. Although wizards of a higher level than that were rare, they were not very difficult to find.
Unlike Area, Xian was a genius, but he did not have the level of talent that would make him one of the few in a century.
Teresa Fidelis, who graduated at the top of her class from Greca Academy, is a wizard of a higher level than him.
But we meet too often. That was the problem.
‘But why are the imperial wizards and knights here in Baden?’
Xian’s gaze immediately shifted to Asuka. He was frozen from the moment the Imperial Knights appeared.
I was so excited to be able to fight to my heart’s content for the first time in a long time that I felt some regret, but those thoughts were completely erased. There was no time to think about anything.
Asuka’s face was full of embarrassment, but she tried to disguise it as calm.
“What are you? Should I thank you for helping me?”
Asuka pretended not to notice. He knew who Miguelo was.
And the fact that Asuka, who is not very interested in others and is only a swordsman, knows who the imperial wizard Miguel is proves their connection.
I desperately wanted to abandon Xian and run away, but before I knew it, knights were surrounding me.
They are talented people who cannot be compared to the Sabat gang. Asuka feels that this is a fight she will definitely lose.
Miguel ignored Asuka’s pretended ignorance and opened his mouth.
“I was looking for you, Asuka.”
For a stiff wizard, he had a polite attitude. Sian blinked a couple of times again.
Even when questioned by Area, Asuka remained silent about her true identity. They said there wouldn’t be any problem.
But the Imperial Knights and the Imperial Wizard are flocking in.
‘What on earth is it?’
An obvious question. I felt like I knew the answer right away.
The fact that so many imperial knights came and that even among the imperial magicians, someone as big as Miguel, was moving around means that it is an important matter for the empire.
An important issue related to the imperial family.
If Asuka is not a criminal, there is only one answer. Imperial family. As soon as he realized that fact, Xian cried out in confusion.
“Asuka, I heard you won’t have anything to do with your family!”
But the imperial family, the royal family. Asuka’s expression showed a rare look of embarrassment.
“No… did you know it would end up like this for me?”
“That’s rude. Since you are a noble person, please do not talk casually like that. “This is not an academy.”
Miguelo pointed out in a calm tone.
‘Asuka is a noble person…’
I lost my mind at the sense of disconnect that those words conveyed. Asuka must have felt the same way as she raised her voice with a heated face.
“This guy is my friend! And who is the noble one?”
“It looks like you’re still in denial. So, I guess you’re moving around like this as you please.”
Miguelo narrowed his eyes as if looking at a child.
“It took a long time to find Asuka. Please go quickly. “You are waiting.”
Asuka closed her mouth. It was obvious who was waiting.
his father. It was nice to see my mother’s tearful face.
If they sent this much force, it would mean that they would take them by force. If he were alone, he would rebel, but Sian is also with him.
‘You didn’t even care about me until now, so why are you suddenly acting like this now?’
For Asuka, it felt so sudden that it even felt strange.
However, there are restrictions for those with high status. There were freedoms that were allowed only because of youth before becoming an adult.
Asuka didn’t know that when she became an adult, she would be deprived of the freedom she had enjoyed so far.
But what is clear is that the reprieve is over and now his father has decided not to leave him alone.
Miguelo spoke in an emotionless tone.
“I was ordered to bring you here.”
His eyes glanced briefly at Xi’an. There was no need to think about who the person next to me was.
Sian Rodrill. He was already familiar with the information about Asuka. Of course I know about his friends.
“Okay, let’s go.”
After a moment of hesitation, Asuka’s mouth eventually fell. His face took on an unusually serious expression.
‘I guess I’ll have to make a deal.’
It won’t be easy once it comes out like this, so it will take some time.
“Xian, you too, come together. “To my house.”
Xian is good at talking. I don’t know if that will work for my father too. Besides, he was a model student and it was an award that adults would appreciate. If you take me, my mother will be okay with it.
Calculations that were uncharacteristic of Asuka were made quickly in her head.
“why me? “There’s no reason to go all the way to me.”
Xian looked disgusted. The situation was stressful, but it was still informal.
For Sian, using Asuka’s engineering skills was as unpleasant as confessing her love to him.
Moreover, I was very reluctant because I felt like I was headed to a place where I could enter as I wanted, but not get out as I wanted.
Asuka raised her double wick.
“Are you going to leave me alone without loyalty?”
“You know I don’t really have anything like that. “I told you to leave earlier.”
“That was then.”
An argument broke out between Asuka and Xian, who did not want to go alone. But the conclusion was simple. Sian had no choice.
Miguello approached Sian. His face was cold and solemn.
“Sian Rodril.”
“Why why?”
“Let’s go together. Asuka wants it.”
Miguelo gestured. As if that was already decided. A caste system was in place here. He added as if to reassure him.
“You are going as a guest, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Yes, you’re going to get dragged into a torture room just because you hung out with me.”
Asuka said, “Let everything happen, haha” and laughed.
The sound of the imperial knights and wizards standing and chatting in the background aroused some unknown tension.
“…Okay, let’s go.”
Xian reluctantly answered. I thought that since it had come to this, I would experience the empire and enjoy the luxury since I would not treat my guests poorly.
There was one problem.
‘But what about Helmut and Area who were supposed to meet in Baden?’
However, Xian is also a wizard. There had to be a way to contact them.
So their destination was changed semi-forcibly. Neither of them knew what would happen there.
