Dacia Irmel.

Dacia Irmel.

“Is that so? That’s a very tragic story.”

I put in a chuimsae, focusing on cooking my share of horse meat. I couldn’t taste it, but it was better to have it properly cooked and chewy rather than burnt and dry.

Dakia, who was grilling meat, slowly moved her golden eyes to look at me.

“Why don’t you put in a little more sincerity? So that I don’t notice that you’re not interested at all.”

I took the grilled horse meat to my mouth and took a bite. It was hot and moist. I didn’t feel the taste. Dakia asked as I cut the horse meat with a dagger and ate little by little.

“Isn’t that immature?”

“Even if it’s a little undercooked, I like the soft side. Princess.”

Carmen spoke while concentrating on grilling her portion of meat.

“Why don’t you finish talking about what you’ve been talking about? Now it’s the part where you can guess that he must have tried to sell himself to the Dragon Kingdom under the pretext of marriage?”

Dacia glared at Carmen once before opening her mouth.

“Right, but aren’t you both too interested in my story?”

I replied, taking another piece of meat.

“When we heard it for the first time, we listened intently. But since this is the third time you’ve been telling the story, isn’t it right that Princess Dakia should also understand to some extent what we’re not paying attention to?”

The Dacian princess’ argument was simple. The main gist of the story was that her older brother, who regarded herself as a thorn in the eye, was trying to throw herself into the Irmel family, using the dragon kingdom’s recent wedding rumor as an excuse to get rid of herself who had the right to be the head of the Irmel family.

I cut off another piece of meat and ate it in my mouth, looking at her.

Silver hair as fine as silk and golden eyes. We offered to grill it for them, but the princess was stubborn and tossed around the meat that couldn’t be grilled well. In the end, the outside of the meat was charred, so I didn’t know what to do.

“Eat this and give it to me.”

I picked out the well-done pieces of meat I had cut for my portion, handed them over to her, received the burnt meat, cut off the burnt parts, and ate only the properly cooked pieces.

‘killing!’

I pressed my mother, who was wriggling, to just let her eat the burnt food. Dacia accepted the plate I offered and said in a low voice.

“I’ll eat well…”

“You’ll bake better next time. Just a little less talking while baking.”

The princess glanced at me lightly, then put each piece of my grilled meat in her mouth and chewed it.

‘Wizard’ princess.

She seemed personally interested in becoming the head of the Irmel family, but it was clear that taking the position would not be easy since she was a wizard. Unless she kills her brother herself.

Nobles were reluctant to use ‘wizards’. To be precise, he was reluctant to have a ‘wizard’ born in his family.

There were two main reasons for this. First, of course, it was difficult to teach them basic etiquette thanks to the general tendency of wizards, and it was difficult to deal with accidents caused by the combination of their unique self-centered attitude and aristocratic status.

And the second was because of the old superstition that ‘wizards’ should not have power. This superstition is a belief that has been handed down from the ‘era of the crooked wizards’ before the ancient empire, and most races were very reluctant to have a wizard sit at the center of power.

Looking at the average personality level of wizards, it wasn’t even a false belief.

Of course, it wasn’t that there weren’t any wizards who had risen to the position of lord, but she had no choice but to encounter greater resistance as she had only four lords of the Northern Kingdom.

Dakia, who was eagerly picking up meat, saw Carmen and me and spoke carefully.

“May I make a suggestion?”

It would be obvious if the proposal came out here. The proposal she brought out did not deviate from my expectations either.

“Please take me to Beatus, the domain of the Irmel family.”

But the reward she offered was more than I could have imagined.

“If you do that, I’ll reward you with gold equal to your weight.”

Also the family of Daeyoungju. The barrel was big. It was also very big. A weight of gold equal to my weight. I’m a little hesitant about this.

‘killing!!!’

Heeding his mother’s advice to gain weight and make his body heavy starting today, he took notice of Carmen.

No matter how good I was, the client for this trip was Carmen, and his mother was in the west. On the other hand, Beatus, the domain of the Irmel family, was in the southwest, so the journey to find the mother was inevitably delayed in order to bring the princess there.

If Carmen chose to continue west, I would of course give up my weight in gold. For me, his request came first, and Carmen even saved my mother’s hand from being cremated once.

Carmen closed her eyes once holding the relic necklace on her chest. After a while, he smiled and said to the princess.

“Okay. This is what I decided to be involved in. Taking responsibility until the end would be a way that would not be ashamed of Baltas’ name.”

Princess Dacia Irmel took a piece of meat and ate it with a satisfied smile.

“It’s good.”

***

We walked out with eyes that couldn’t stop. It’s already been five days since Dakia joined the party. In the meantime, there was already one raid. Of course, unfortunately, those who ambush me while I was on my watch became a handful of divinities and were harvested by me.

[Divinity: 1741]

cried Carmen, squinting her eyes.

“If the map is right, there will probably be a village soon!”

Dakia shook the snow piled up on her shoulders and shouted.

“That’s real! You can really soak yourself in hot water for once, right?!”

I took the lead in answering, advancing my gaze. The eyes that touched his face were cold.

“I see a fire over there!”

We cheered and ran through the blizzard into the village. The place we arrived at was a fairly large town, so fortunately there was an inn for travelers.

As we entered the inn, the chatterers stopped talking and stared at me.

That’s right, I’m hanging on to the raiders’ weapons, so there are more than 10 swords hanging next to the suitcase. Dakia, who came in after me, brushed off the snow on her robe and spoke to me.

“I feel it every time I see it, but isn’t it heavy?”

“I just listen to it.”

“You are really strong.”

Carmen, who quickly approached the innkeeper and grabbed a room, said with an excited face.

“I took three rooms at the end of the corridor on the third floor. I also asked for bath water. Go upstairs, wash up, and have dinner together.”

We went up to the third floor without saying a word, warmed up in the hot water, and gathered again for dinner. Dakia, wearing a black robe, said with a tired face.

“Walking in the snow is more tiring than I thought.”

After roughly finishing her order, Carmen answered lightly.

“Still, it’s very fortunate that Princess-nim’s stamina is good. To be honest, I thought you’d stretch without even reaching the village.”

Carmen’s words were not empty words. The gongnyeo really had much better stamina than most adult men. Dacia looked me in the eyes and said.

“Since I was young, I haven’t skipped training. Besides, Priest Marnak lifted most of the heavy things for me. What’s really great is Priest Marnak. He walked through the snowy field carrying all the heavy things by himself.”

Carmen nodded.

“Marnac is really strong.”

I replied with a smile.

“It’s nothing.”

After chatting like that for a while, well-grilled sausages and bread were served in abundance.

After all, the trip had to be full of money. I couldn’t taste the food, so I just savored the smell and started eating slowly.

While eating with the spoon rattling against the background of chatter here and there, a shrill voice came out.

“Hey! Don’t do this.”

“Hehehe. It’s chewy and tastes very good.”

One of the four drunk men rubbed the butt of the waitress. The men seemed to be mercenaries, but they were drinking with enough things to say that they were armed.

Carmen and I concentrated on eating, not paying attention to the usual things going on at any inn.

Anyway, soon the innkeeper will come out and calm them down and take care of them.

“I have to go take orders from others.”

“I told you to sit down for a while. Huh? Just for a moment, just sit with that pretty bottom on.”

“dad!”

A middle-aged man jumped out of the kitchen at the shrill voice of the waitress. The man, presumed to be the innkeeper, said, separating the waiter and the man as gently as possible with his thick forearm.

“I’m sorry, but our inn is not a Changgwan. If you need a prostitute, I’ll call you separately, so please bear with me.”

It was a very polite word, but unfortunately, to the four men who were drunk, the polite words seemed to sound very precious, and their faces turned red as if they were about to explode. A man jumped up from his seat and shouted at the innkeeper.

“Fuck! What did I ask you to sleep with? Huh? I just sat next to you, poured you a little drink, and asked you to listen to a story, but you barely made a campaign with that? Is your daughter’s ass made of gold?”

Another man jumped up and shouted at the innkeeper.

“Hahaha! Let’s take a look at that proud daughter’s golden ass today!”

As the atmosphere heated up, Carmen asked me cautiously.

“There’s a fight going on. Wouldn’t it be nice to help?”

I pointed forward as I munched on the tasteless sausage. The seat in front of me was already empty.

“One has already gone. Let’s go help them.”

The princess’s fist, which jumped out like a swallow, pierced the chin of the man standing in the front. The man hit in the jaw flew off and crashed into the wall.

“This, what the hell is this…”

puck.

Dacia silently swung the sword with the scabbard and struck the panicking man in the temple. She also swung her fist into the face of the man who was sitting on the seat without even checking that the other man had fallen.

“Insult!!! What is this bitch!”

The man quickly drew his sword and swung it at Dakia’s back.

I couldn’t tell if it was a cowardly surprise attack or a polite warning of an attack. I grabbed the man’s head and pinned him to the floor. The wooden floor cracked and blood splattered.

Dakia, with her sword sheath around her waist with a calm face, bowed her head to me.

“thank you.”

“It’s nothing.”

Carmen, who walked slowly behind her, spoke softly to Dakia.

“At least you should discuss it and run out. Aren’t we a group?”

Dacia hesitated and spoke in a low voice.

“From the old days, when I saw unjust things, I got a fever without realizing it…”

The princess has shyly confessed that she has anger control disorder, not anger control disorder.

this is not good It’s really bad.

“Thank you so much for your help.”

The innkeeper and his daughter bowed deeply in gratitude. I smiled softly, hiding my confusion.

“If there are difficulties, we should help each other.”

“Marnac, take it.”

Carmen, who found the money bag on the bodies of the fainted men, threw the money bag at me. I lightly took the pouch and handed it to the innkeeper.

“You can use this to fix the broken items and the store. Then would it be okay if I ask you to clean up?”

The innkeeper with a stern face replied with a bright smile.

“Yes, yes! I’ll call the village vigilante and clean it up so there’s no back story.”

I nodded to the innkeeper and spoke to Carmen and Dacia.

“Then let’s have a meal or something.”

***

Smart.

dark night. I left the room and knocked on Dacia’s door.

“who···?”

I spoke in a low voice when I heard her voice coming from the other side of the door.

“Princess. It’s me.”

“Ah yes.”

The moment she opens the door defenselessly. Without hesitation, I dug inside and blocked her from casting the spell. Dakia’s golden eyes were stained with astonishment.

“Eup?! Eup Eup Eup!”

He kicked the door shut and shoved the frost-steel sword beside her struggling head. When the princess saw the blade passing by her ear, she finally understood the situation and fell silent. Her eyes were full of questions, ‘Why?’

I smiled and said.

“I want the Princess to quietly listen to me. I don’t want Carmen to wake up for nothing. Do you understand?”

Dacia gulped and nodded as I slowly thrust the froststeel sword in. Confirming that I was ready to listen, I spoke softly.

“I’m sure you know the princess well, since she’s a brilliant person, but we’re being chased. But wouldn’t it be very difficult for Carmen and I if I interfered in other people’s affairs without consulting it like before? To tell you this, I’m not blaming the princess for intervening. It’s just that it was wrong for her to run out without consulting in advance. Did you understand this far?”

Dacia quickly blinked her eyes and conveyed her understanding.

“You said earlier that the princess couldn’t stand it because she got hot when she saw injustice, right? But next time, you’ll have to really put up with it.”

Slowly moving the frost steel sword, he placed it on the princess’ neck and whispered.

“If you distract attention without consulting me one more time like this, I will have no choice but to shed tears and sever the princess’ tendons, then hand her over to the pursuers. Isn’t that a very tragic and sad story? ?”

Dacia’s body stiffened as she listened to my whispers. I tucked my frost steel sword into my waistband and smiled whitely.

“I believe that the princess will discuss with us and act wisely from now on. If you understand my story well, please nod slowly.”

The princess’s head moved slowly up and down. I removed my hand from her mouth, fully prepared to blow off her throat as soon as I cast off the spell. Fortunately, Dacia didn’t say anything.

“Then have a good night.”

I closed the door behind Dacia, who was standing there blankly, and left her room and returned to my room.

‘killing!’

“Your mother’s question of not being too hasty is perfectly valid. But this is something that should be said sometime before it gets into bigger trouble anyway.”

I patted my mother’s hand and smiled.

“And now we can find out if Dakia really has ‘define dysregulation’.”

Will she be able to act as she pleases, swept away by a momentary sense of justice, even though she feels the threat to her life?

‘killing!’

I giggled at my mother’s words that she would bet on ‘I won’t be able to run away easily next time.’

“I’m also thinking of betting on the same place as my mother, so unfortunately this bet won’t work.”
