Episode 125
“What? why?”
nervous voice.
An angry voice, just about to become an adult, urged the bowed knight.
“Well… that rogue was stronger than expected. I heard that they are the devil’s servants…”
“What nonsense is that?”
“Kuhm.”
The knight did not dare to tell the soldiers’ rumors that a demon of lust had appeared on his master.
How can you say something that even you dismiss as nonsense?
It was embarrassing to even say it.
However.
“I don’t think it’s a lie to say that he uses witchcraft.”
“Are you sure?”
“yes. After checking the bodies of the soldiers, I was sure.”
No matter what they did, everything was burned, but the marks of the beast’s teeth were clear.
Other than that, other wounds aren’t obvious, so that’s for sure.
“doesn’t care.”
“But…”
“Be sure to catch it. I have never seen such a beautiful man in my entire life!”
Memories of that time that come to mind again.
the moment I was kidnapped.
He got off his white horse in a flash, and in an instant beat the assailants and saved himself.
His hair and sharp nose were revealed the moment the hood of the fluttering robe was removed. Sharp jawline and deep eyes.
I’ll never forget, I can’t forget
“My lady…”
A woman with a heated expression.
The expression of the knight who saw it showed a feeling different from the sense of duty to stop it.
‘Looking like you’re in love. You are beautiful!’
The knight was impressed.
He was someone who was only interested in other things without even thinking about love.
However, it is clear that he has finally realized love as an adult!
Even if it’s just a joke.
“I will definitely love the lady…”
“The mace made with it will be beautiful!”
“yes? Ah…”
The article, scratching, thought so.
Her own master is the princess of the duchy.
Because she was a vicious Rebecca.
“Find it quickly. can’t take more time You can’t stay in the empire for long.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
They didn’t come to the Empire to play.
“And…”
“Yes.”
“If the princess of the empire finds out, it will be taken away. Because she only took away what I coveted.”
“Be careful with your words…”
“Okay, bring it quickly. Betan. Yes, you better bring it.”
Surprised to see who would hear it, Betan let out a deep sigh.
“I can’t leave the princess’s side. The honorable princess’ guardian knight…”
“I will protect my body.”
Betan was dumbfounded.
“You almost got kidnapped, right?”
“It was because I drank too much.”
“Kuhm.”
“hurry!!”
“All right.”
Betan had no choice but to take a reluctant step.
Betan disappears and after a while.
“…”
Rebecca straightened her back and put the mask on her face.
A princess of the principality with a subtle smile.
The vulgar expression and tone were gone.
Because that was the right role for her now.
“Princess Rebecca. long time no see.”
“Meet Princess Lavian of Lactus.”
princess of the empire.
La Vien.
Armed with red armor, Ravien looked more like a knight than a princess.
A female knight with radiant blonde hair tied in two pigtails and slightly sarcastic eyes.
However, her status is that of a princess.
She was the princess of the Great Holy Empire.
“It’s been a while, Princess Rebecca.”
empires and principalities.
Even if it was an ally, the difference in strength was clear, and thanks to that, there is a high rank.
The same goes for their identities.
The princess grew goosebumps at the princess’ friendly voice, but she responded with a smile instead of showing it.
“It’s been a while.”
“How are you? How many years?”
“Exactly four years.”
“Um, so it was. Have you drank a lot of milk in four years? I think it got bigger.”
“It is hereditary.”
“…”
smiled.
Princess Rebecca smiled.
When the princess comes to see her, she always wears imperial armor.
The princess was not unaware that the reason was her poor body.
‘Although I’m being hated thanks to that.’
The princess narrowed her eyes and looked at the princess’s chest.
“You look dull. It will be difficult when you move.”
“Thank you for your concern, Princess. But it doesn’t matter if you wear armor. It’s tight.”
“…okay? But it’s annoying when you’re not wearing armor. Why don’t you cut it? Shall I cut it?”
“it’s okay. By the way, may I ask why you called me?”
When the princess refused, the princess couldn’t say anything more.
With a serious face, Princess Ravien winked at the waiting knight.
Then the knight of the empire brought the map and spread it quietly on the table.
“I heard there are lizards among the monsters flocking to the southern part of the empire.”
lizard.
The princess’s eyes narrowed.
“These rebels must be eliminated. Is that why you called me?”
“Their power was torn into 100 strands in the old evening, but since they honor the spear with the Empire, they have power that cannot be overlooked. That’s why I called the gongnyeo.”
Throughout the history of the Empire, the Lizard Man has always been a nuisance.
From the point of view of the empire that adhered to the policy of exterminating the heterogeneous species, the Lizardmen were those who served Lactus with them.
After much thought, they annihilated the Lizardmen, but the remnants still remain.
He stays and dreams of revenge.
The role of the princess is to annihilate them.
It was natural.
The reason why the princess was called there was that the location where they were expected to be overlapped with the principality.
‘There’s no need for the princess to step in. Are you aware of the saintess?’
Or the prince?
Maybe.
Because she’s a very ambitious person.
“Hmm… definitely. At this location, the Lizardmen could be hiding.”
south of the empire.
the northern part of the principality.
The bamboo forest located there had many wetlands that Lizardmen liked.
There were many places to hide.
Since the location is a location, it won’t be easy to find them with tolerable forces. It was only natural to ask for support from the principality.
‘Because the empire has been hoarding its strength since the last time…’
Princess Rebecca had no justification or reason to refuse.
Not only was he in a position where he had to be black, but the calculations for the benefits after the Lizardman subjugation were made quickly.
“The unfortunate thing is that it might take a long time to find them.”
“That’s right, they’re shady guys, so they’re probably hiding somewhere deep in the woods.”
“There is no need for a noble person to pursue.”
“Yes, there is a knight of the princess. Did you say beta? He said he has a mace that is good at tracking, so I’m going to borrow some of his power.”
“…”
That was it.
Rebecca felt sorry for her.
It was after I just sent Bethan.
He had never dreamed that the princess would find Betan.
He was just a knight to the princess.
“You don’t look good. Did you send it on another mission? Maybe you sent them to spy on the empire?”
Judging by the grinning face of Princess Lavian, he seemed to know something.
However, the princess did not panic and rounded the corners of her mouth.
“I met a man.”
Let’s make up a useless lie here. The story must have reached the princess’ ears.
But you won’t know exactly.
If so, it is better to say
“man?”
What kind of man is he suddenly? Rebecca continued to speak slowly, not paying attention to the appearance of Princess Lavian, who tilted her head as if saying,
“He was handsome as if created by God.”
“…uh?”
Lavien was embarrassed in response.
He blinked a few times at the unexpected answer, then nodded.
“A man…. The princess of the duchy was interested in the man of the empire.”
The moment when useless pride fills up.
The Gongnyeo’s words follow.
“I have never been interested in any men courting me before. But he was different.”
“Huh… that much?”
The princess and the princess have been interacting for a long time since childhood.
It was because the princess had been educated with the princess for several years as a hostage to the empire.
at the Imperial Academy.
So, Princess Lavian was a little surprised.
Princess Rebecca had never had a scandal with a man.
That’s why Princess Lavian was even suspicious that her sexual orientation might not be normal.
‘I thought he liked me so I kept my distance, but I guess that wasn’t the case.’
The princess was relieved inwardly.
“But they said he was using witchcraft. Isn’t it fun?”
“Magic beast?”
The corner of Ravien’s mouth went up.
“yes. Do you have any hints?”
“I read it in the old texts of the empire. It is said that the followers of Auste’s god easily tamed animals or anything. or use a whip What is his impression?”
“It was like a pilgrim.”
I am a pilgrim of Auste.
It turns out to be pretty fun.
Princess Lavian actually knew that the princess was looking for something.
It was because there was no way that the story of a wanted order issued to the empire would not fail to reach the ears of the princess. So I was going to tease you a little, but I heard an unexpected story.
“He appeared in the south… Maybe he’s tied up with the lizards.”
“….”
“Where is that bastard?”
“…probably be in Gabor by now.”
“It’s just fine.”
Imperial Gabor.
It was relatively close to Great Marsh Glory, and it was also a place where some pretty dangerous guys gathered.
‘It could work out.’
Beside the satisfied princess, the princess secretly smiled.
The princess didn’t think of the man as anything more than being involved with the lizards anyway.
In that case, he might be able to borrow the power of the Empire in moderation and catch the man without straining.
‘It must be easier than I thought.’
The princess fiddled with her mask and hid the raised corners of her mouth.
* * *
Wheein.
The mountain wind passes through the plains and forests and calls the night.
The night calls for the moon, and people light up, so the moon and fire cover the darkness.
trudge.
The horse illuminated by the red torch is still white, and the moonlight is pale, so the eyes of the man on the horse are not very good.
However, look at the line.
“Are you a pilgrim?”
“exactly.”
A pure white robe.
The eyes of the man hidden under the hood were reflected in the torchlight.
Gabor’s Gatekeeper Wals.
He had seen many men crossing the gates of Gabor, a barren land.
Most of them were good at recognizing what kind of life they have lived just by looking at their eyes, but can you see this man’s bloody eyes?
‘He’s someone I shouldn’t touch.’
However, this is Gabor.
A place out of reach of the imperial army.
I had to check thoroughly.
“which? lactose? Or radon?”
Lactus spear.
Radon is a mace.
No matter where you look, you can’t see a military commander, so I ask.
The pilgrim doesn’t speak for a while, then takes out something from the back of the horse.
“It must have been radon.”
Bloody Mace.
The spiked thorns and oversized mace didn’t seem good enough to get on the pilgrim’s nerves.
“The toll is three silver.”
Originally, it is 1 silver, but it is the duty of the world to pay for the meal yourself.
The gatekeeper Wals received 3 silver from the pilgrim and smiled with satisfaction.
“Go to the ‘Jaw-dropping Pub’ over there. There should be a place to sleep.”
After confirming the words and appearance of the nodding pilgrim, Wals’s eyes catch Hogu.
‘I’ll make some money.’
It was Wals who thought about chasing after him and trying to rip him off some more, but he just gave up.
In today’s world, it’s easy to run away if you’re greedy for nothing.
“Let’s be satisfied with this.”
Even if you eat the son of God, it will come back in the future.
‘Even if I leave it alone, it will take care of itself.’
Gabor’s outcasts won’t let that rich-looking pilgrim go.
“I am Wals, the smart gatekeeper~ I will keep the door today and shake off a little bit~”
In his ears as he sings and guards the door, he hears an explosion from afar.
Quaang!
“It’s a start again~ The poor pilgrim will be robbed and turned into a beggar again.”
Tsk.
But there is no great interest.
Is this how life is all about?
“I should have gotten it for 5 silver. Wow.”
Woo woo woo woo!
hooked!
“Wow!”
Something flew in a parabolic arc, and a spear was deeply embedded near the gatekeeper.
broken window.
“Huh…”
Apparently he wasn’t a normal guy.
The gatekeeper locked the door and headed to < The Jaw-dropping Pub >.
I sneaked up and watched.
The tavern had already been sorted out.
Through the broken planks, around the pilgrims in pure white robes.
Dozens of people were already down.
All the earthenware pots were bursting, but the person who made them was cutting and eating the meat with a fork and knife.
A grotesque madness was seen.
“Uh…”
The gatekeeper forced a smile on his face and trembled as he approached him and calmly set the two silvers down on the table.
A pilgrim watching the doorkeeper run away in a hurry. A question mark floated above Callius’ head, but it soon disappeared.
It was because those wearing robes were approaching him.
One is exceptionally short.
One is quite slim.
‘The smell of iron.’
The little one smells like iron.
Thin teeth smelled of earth and grass.
Callius looked at them and wondered, then raised one corner of his mouth.
Because I knew who I was.
