Episode 197
“Whew.”
“You worked hard. majesty.”
“Did I really do well…”
“You did well. This would have made the empire aware of Carpe’s status. Your Highness is Carpe itself. The people still cannot forget the invasion of the empire.”
“Yes. It was.”
the country itself.
He is the king of a country that represents the country.
Personal impressions are unnecessary.
All you have to do is deal with the empire with all the humiliation and sorrow you’ve been receiving.
yeah good job
The queen comforted herself and let out a deep breath that had been stuffy with tension.
“However, with this incident, military arrogance and the growth of the empire are about a hundred. And 300,000 gold and high quality artifacts were promised. This deal will make Carpe even richer, so it’s right to give a big reward to the count who made this happen.”
“I also think Sir Viktor is right. majesty.”
“Lord Chloe.”
“To see Your Highness.”
Chloe, who greeted her in accordance with the ceremony, looked at Chloe with benevolence.
“Yes, that’s right. Of course it should. What would be good? ah! Shall I give you the sword from the royal family’s treasury?”
Chloe shook her head.
“He already possesses the light dragon. And he said he had many swords for this pilgrimage. I already have four swords, so if the king’s treasury doesn’t have a sword like that, I’ll rather disappoint him.”
“Do you have four bags?”
“Yes that’s right.”
He is the one with four swords.
I wouldn’t be satisfied unless the church gave me even the lost holy sword.
“The intelligence power of the Daegun is considerable. You’ve already heard that story.”
“One of the Count’s party was a master named Ovarna, the owner of the 61st floor of Agatodo in the Sahara Holy Land. I heard from her.”
“Agato too. I’ve heard of it too. A tower standing alone in the holy ground. There are tower guardians guarding it. If it’s on the 61st floor, she must also be the knight who broke the wall.”
“Yes, your guess is correct.”
Floor master of the 61st floor.
The queen’s pure white eyelashes trembled. The owner of the floor must be the master.
Why is she following Colius when she should be protecting the tower?
I was curious.
“Maybe…”
“Yes, as expected, Ovarna is the foster daughter of Saint Orbire.”
“yes? ah yes okay. Somehow I thought the names were similar.”
I didn’t think so at all, but the Queen didn’t show it.
Then, Chloe let out a hot snort and started talking about things she hadn’t even asked.
“Miss Obarna said she had been with the Count since he encountered the dragon. He slashed the head of a dragon, slashed corruption along with his majestic appearance, instantly killed the imperial spear with a single blow, and captured even a saintess as a prisoner. In the north, they even stopped the invasion of scoundrels and even subdued trolls and fairies!”
The expression that asks if it’s not great.
“okay. All those great things in such a short amount of time…”
The queen nodded her head.
It’s a great thing, but I couldn’t genuinely admire Chloe’s condition because I was so excited.
“yes. Isn’t that great? It’s like the adventure story of a warrior in a fairy tale. Chloe couldn’t hide her excitement the whole time she heard it. If I had the same heart, I would go to the count right now and ask for a tea time.”
“…”
“Sorry. Since he is the savior of my life, when I talk about the Count, I get excited without even realizing it.”
“no. I understand, great Chloe. He is a man with the magic to attract people.”
He was a benefactor who saved Hagisa’s life, so it wouldn’t be unreasonable for him to go away.
“I can’t wait to stand on the battlefield with him soon. ah! Also, it seems that the compensation for the count is a bit lacking. How about this?”
“Please speak.”
“How about giving him 40,000 of the troops of Oman?”
“Forty thousand soldiers?”
That’s a bit too…
“Yeah. He will be able to write well.”
“Lord Chloe. If that number were to be given to the count, the nobles would revolt. Cut it down to work.”
When Chloe seemed to step out too much, Viktor stepped in.
“okay. Then how about 30,000?”
“Even if they are soldiers of the Empire, they are borrowed soldiers. If you think of the time to return it…”
“Are you going to return it?”
Grand Army Chloe asks a question.
“That’s right…”
The Queen tried to answer as if it were obvious, but suddenly felt something suspicious.
“Carpe is called the country of swords, but there are definitely spearmen in the army. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have to return it. Wouldn’t it be enough to start a war at the timing of consuming them all in the battle with the principality and giving them back?”
“Consider. With 30,000 soldiers, the count won’t be bad against the dukedom, so I’ll consider it positively.”
Although it is a concept of rental, it cannot be left alone.
How to use more than you have.
The areas where soldiers are most active in Carpe right now are the west and south.
Since he is going to encounter the principality more often in the south than in the west, it is correct to give him 30,000 imperial troops and prepare for battle with the principality.
“But I think I might be overdoing it. I want to give you this.”
“That’s…”
“It would be better to give it to someone who will use it more valuable than me.”
“Isn’t this a gift from the Empire for Your Highness? Such a precious thing…”
“It is a gift to you. Shall I deliver? I will run right away.”
“No, I will call the count later and personally give it to you, so it’s okay.”
“Okay.”
Seeing the necklace in the queen’s hand, Chloe smiled broadly and Viktor sighed lightly.
* * *
Boom!
The Great War of the Ruined Principality.
A sea of blood spread around the King of Gong, who was holding a mace, as if a wind of blood had swept through it.
“Princess Rebecca, a candidate for sainthood, went as a delegation… But insulting and humiliating her wasn’t enough. At the smallest level, this is an act of disregard for the principality, and at the largest level, it is no different than thrusting a sword into the throat of a mace god!”
“you’re right. If we leave this alone, the principality will lose its face, so we must set an example!”
The shivering servants raised their voices and criticized Carpe.
Because all those who disturbed the king’s heart earlier had turned into porridge.
“It can be done as it is between countries, but we can never let our gods be insulted!”
“Your Highness please!!”
“Please destroy Carpe!”
gulp.
Silence engulfed in an instant.
steamed. The king, who had almost ripped off the mace stuck in the corpse of his servant, said while touching his chin with his bloody hand.
“When the princess said she was going as an envoy, who agreed?”
“I am Marquis Marquis.”
“Your Highness! I am…!”
bang!!
Kwajik! Kwajik! Knock! phut! Kwajik!!
It was only after seeing Marquis Marquis Marquis, who had turned into meat paste in an instant, that the King washed away his mad expression.
“I will give you arrogance, so bring the princess. I hate to say it twice. No, I’ll give you ten thousand. Bring me.”
“…”
“If the princess is dead, your grave is Carpe. If the princess brings you, I will make you my sire.”
Tuk-tuk. The Master of the Principality whose shoulder was slapped.
Legionnaire nodded heavily.
dump.
The King Gong, who was sitting on the throne, took out a medicine bottle from his bosom and threw it.
widely.
“The spear of apostasy. I’ll give you the Changseongsoo you said. It’s something I don’t need anyway.”
luteon.
“Bring the princess with you. Got it. That would be the least sincerity I can show the emperor.”
“I will definitely bring the princess.”
certainly.
The corners of Lutheon’s mouth, holding Changseongsoo in his hand, drew an arc to tear.
* * *
“Give it to me.”
“Oh, because it doesn’t. That’s right.”
The office of the Heretic Question leader.
Genos, who had his feet on the desk, and Callius, who was fiddling with a dagger in front of him, were scrambling.
It was because of the holy things of the church.
“Why are you doing this to me? Don’t you know better that the leader of the Heretic Question doesn’t have the right to read the holy relic?”
“I don’t know because he’s a pilgrim.”
“You’re a pilgrim, but you’re the leader of the Heretic Questioning. Six times too. If you have nothing to do, take them with you.”
“Sixth? Were you still alive?”
“Isn’t that too much? To make body modifications as they are and toss them aside. The 6th squad will be pretty disappointed.”
“be not interested in.”
“The position of Captain of the 6th Division is still vacant. Everyone has been waiting for you to come.”
“What do you mean? Give me the holy relic.”
“Are you telling the Pope? You are friendly.”
“I was rejected.”
Is it not courtesy to saints to use holy relics for personal reasons?
I was kicked out when I said that he might soon become a holy relic because of the old man’s obstinate stubbornness.
“What is it, have you already been dumped? you’re faster than me I am not kicked yet.”
“….”
Cookies.
Looking at the label, it is Prine’s brand.
‘Come to think of it, Prine’s eldest son or youngest told me to tell him if I needed help someday.’
Every time I heard that cookies were sent as gifts to the North and to Colius’s mansion. I heard that Emily likes it, so she spends it often.
“But are you still doing that?”
when he said before
He said he likes Prine’s people, so I thought he was from the family, but he wasn’t.
He was just attracted to the female employee at Prine’s store.
But even though he is a nobleman and a count, he never thought he would woo a commoner woman like that.
‘Actually, he’s that kind of guy.’
“I tried to convey my heart today. But some strange woman got in the way.”
“Interesting.”
Although he wasn’t interested in it, Callius played a rough tune and secretly stole and ate Genos’ cookies one by one.
“It’s delicious too. Does it even contain divinity?”
“Obviously I was the last in line. I was thinking of meeting her one last time. But he suddenly appears and doesn’t want to take the cookie. It was absurd.”
“So how did you do it?”
Colliers picked up two cookies.
“Of course I was trying to scold you. But they fought pretty hard with iron rods. He showed the difference in speed and finished well.”
“It sounds like you ran away.”
“It is not an escape. There was just no need to fight.”
Seeing that it is called an iron stick, I know exactly who it is. After shoveling all but one cookie into his mouth, Callius wiped his hands with a handkerchief.
‘Did Ovarna also line up?’
Come to think of it, a while ago I asked if there was anything to earn money… Was it because of that?
“She was a woman I never wanted to see again.”
“hmm.”
Shaking his head and reaching for the cookie, Genos’s hand stopped abruptly.
It was because there was only one left of the many cookies.
Soon, Genos’s hand, which was glaring at Colius, became blurred.
Tadak!
It flashed before I knew it and threw two daggers like lightning.
“Should I go see Esther?”
However, Callius easily avoided it by tilting his head slightly.
Then, without realizing it, he put the rest of the cookie in his hand into his mouth.
misread.
The crumbled cookies melt in your mouth with just the right amount of sweetness.
“…I waited for two hours.”
“I’ll have to wait another two hours tomorrow.”
“I should have beaten you a lot two years ago.”
“It’s never too late to regret.”
Genos sighed and put the cookie bag neatly folded in the desk drawer.
Two years’ worth of cookie envelopes were in the drawer. It even looked like madness.
“…Have you met the saintess?”
“What kind of saint are you talking about?”
“I am referring to the saintess of Asyliad.”
“You mean Esther. It is still.”
“If the pope refused, how about talking to the saint? Isn’t she quite friendly to you?”
“well. I’ve never had such a good memory. Aren’t you mistaken?”
“You’re not even paying attention. Anyway, go ahead and tell me. Because the saintess has more authority than I do.”
“…it is.”
Genos, who pulled out the dagger stuck in the wall, opened the door and pointed at Colius as he exited.
“Come to think of it.”
Genos slightly turned his head and said while scratching the bridge of his nose.
“It’s Alphonse. Do you remember?”
“Alphonse?”
“Don’t you remember? I heard that I once studied swordsmanship with you.”
“hmm.”
I don’t know.
“It’s Alphonse von Orvid.”
“ah.”
Orvid.
I know it when I hear the castle.
One of the four nobles who rule the west.
It seemed to be referring to the son of Orvid.
“He broke down the wall.”
“Um…”
“Your expression is not good. Weren’t you friendly?”
“What is it?”
“Alphonse seems to want to meet you.”
“me?”
very awkward
It’s because the relationship in the past wasn’t all good. I don’t even remember.
“if there is a chance.”
“A Luon also talks about you sometimes. He was blocked by a wall and was suffering.”
“I see. i get it.”
Kik thump.
again and again.
I walked through the corridor of the church and headed towards the saintess’s prayer room.
The paladins were guarding it, but no one held their head stiff even in front of Colius.
However. chuck.
“He said no one should lift it.”
“You are doing something useless.”
You will know he came.
As soon as she arrived, she met the Pope right away, so there is no way she didn’t know.
As if they had waited, the paladins drew their swords and swung them toward Callius.
The paladin raised by the saintess, or Geomro, resembles her.
“You’re ugly.”
Ting.
When I hit the paladin’s sword with my finger, it bent like a bow and my posture was disturbed.
Kwajajak! pop!
At that moment, I kicked the stomach and smashed the door, and the two paladins rolled through the prayer room.
Clear water flows down from the statue of the goddess holding a jar filled with candles.
at its center.
A saintess praying in a pure white cloth appears in the eyes of Colius.
“Are you the ones who raise them?”
“yes. But I couldn’t even draw your sword. Develop more skills. It is still too early for you.”
“…yes.”
Leaving behind them who quickly disappeared, the saintess nodded to Callius.
“It was a time when I was at the peak of my skills and became proud. If that’s the case, then maybe they’ll realize something.”
“You use me well.”
“It’s a rare opportunity. For them.”
A rare opportunity.
It was as if he knew in advance that Colius would come.
“…Did you bribe the Pope?”
“Did you find out?”
I knew it. It seemed that he had agreed with the pope.
Somehow he flatly refused.
“You already knew you were going to the Pope.”
“Because you won’t come to me first.”
“What about the holy relic?”
“Here it is.”
Berah’s ring.
But why would you do that?
It couldn’t have been just because of Paladin.
“But there are conditions.”
“Tell me.”
“Please go find the holy sword with me.”
