Episode 448 Celia’s Slave Prize, Justice’s Slave Prize (4)
– What’s your name?
“…Moros.”
Moros.
It’s an unavoidable fate.
The mental state of the person who gave it the name was highly questionable.
After eating, we headed straight to the stream.
The process of suppressing the struggling Moros and peeling off the old grime was quite a difficult task.
The smell was so strong that for a while the smell of his body lingered by the stream.
After tidying up the dirty hair that reached her shoulders and removing all the soup, her face became quite acceptable.
The purple hair with a hint of black and two dark eyes are gloomy, but I like it.
Soonbok threw several sets of clothes and leather armor to Moros, who had just finished redecorating.
“….”
– Put it on. Are you going to walk around in that rag?
Moros changed his clothes bewildered at his words.
As soon as he put on his outstanding clothes, he no longer looked like a slave.
The standing posture is solid and exudes an atmosphere that cannot be easily approached, like an escort knight of a famous family.
– Now it’s worth seeing.
“Clothes for slaves. What do you mean?”
He, who had been pouring out various curses just a moment ago, now uses respect.
Subok replied.
– The guy I go with looks like a beggar, so I just looked at his hands.
“…then why did you buy me?”
– You’re a slave who talks a lot. I think I’ll go and exchange it.
As the two quarreled, Mian burst into laughter.
“Whoop whoop.”
How can you not know even if you say it like that?
It seems indifferent, but the eyes are always on Moros.
Even when he was washing, he went around town looking for clothes.
“Where are you going now?”
When Mien asked, Soonbok looked at Moros and said.
– You need to find the other three slavers. It would be great if someone who knows exactly where it is could give directions.
In other words, it means to give directions to Moros.
But surprisingly, Moros easily accepted the words of submission.
“All right. Please follow me.”
Did he realize that he was a slave now? It’s nice to hear him well.
Could it be that he was also manipulated by Ray in this way?
Maybe it resembles the bad parts!
Suspicion arose, but Soonbok tried to deny it.
At least he doesn’t rule his subordinates with his fists!
After repeating ‘I’m still a good master’ several times, Soonbok moved on with Moros’ guidance.

The commander of the 7th Knights obtained the position of Commander and began to gather troops.
Because it was a kingly order, the faction of the count could not stop them.
Ray pondered.
In the current situation, he needed someone who could shake the king’s name even a little.
Of course, in the worst case, he could put pressure on King Deogard, but in that case, it should be left as a last resort.
An existence that can be solved as gently and gently as possible.
After thinking for a while, Ray immediately came up with a plausible person.
But he wasn’t alone in having similar thoughts.
The Ronel faction had planned to capture Princess Celestia and make it theirs in the past.
Action needs to be taken before a player is taken away.
Ray, who had been tapping the table with his fingers, rose from his seat.
His steps found Celestia after a long time.
* * *
Princess Celestia’s heart was excited at the rumor that Ray was looking for her.
After dressing up and changing into clothes she liked, she asked the lady-in-waiting.
“You mean the Holy Son really came to visit me?”
“Because it is! Clearly, my efforts are finally paying off! You must have fallen for the princess’ charm!”
“Am I really like that?”
“Because I am right. Go ahead. After today, the two of you might become a couple… When are you planning to have the ceremony?”
The lady-in-waiting went one step further and mentioned the engagement.
However, Celestia’s cheeks blushed because it didn’t feel too bad.
“Hey, hey, it’s still too early to get married. We should do that after we get to know each other a little more.”
“Even the princess is very knowledgeable. Even His Majesty the King will welcome you with open arms, so what are you worried about? At times like this, if the princess doesn’t push ahead, the saint will hesitate too. From the old days, the saint seemed to like the princess. It’s a moment to be ashamed of. It will be a good memory after it passes.”
The lady-in-waiting spread rumors without spitting.
Of course, the princess really believes in that.
Since ancient times, she had never been bad at trusting maids, and even thought that it was better to follow the opinions of experienced people rather than her own when it came to love affairs, so the princess was, in fact, a black cow both in name and reality.
“How can you push a man with a woman’s body? I’m sure you’ll think I’m a frivolous woman.”
“Once you knock it down, you are all the same beast, beast. Even though Gaia is a saint given an oracle, he is a man before he is a saint. The maid of honor told me when I was young that all men are animals.”
As she spoke, the lady-in-waiting looked at the princess with her eyes as if she were telling her to prepare for something.
“go. Go through the temple and come, princess.”
The black cow, who was weak in the atmosphere, snapped the bait.
Celestia nodded.
Why couldn’t she understand it just by looking at the aristocratic men who wooed her?
They were beasts who only wanted their status and bodies.
A saint, of course, is a little different in that respect.
“A man is a beast… I’ve read a similar phrase in a book. After hearing it, I think it’s true.”
In the end, she made the mistake of completely trusting the maid’s words.

Ray waited for Princess Celestia in the flower garden where the flowers had faded and the color of summer had deepened.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the garden was hidden deep inside the royal castle.
I don’t know why I left my office nearby and told me to wait in a place like this.
how long has it been
When Princess Celestia showed up, Ray pretended to know.
“Long time no see?”
“That… that’s right.”
It’s not unusual to stutter.
The lady-in-waiting assisted by her side.
“The princess also said that it felt good to see the saint after a long time.”
“Hey, hey…!”
“thank you. Although I had some work in the past, it is true that it is good to see the princess.”
Of course it feels good.
I knew that meeting him would be rejected because of things in the past, but he willingly met me like this.
Celestia and the maid took that word in a different way.
Celestia’s face turned red when she said that it was nice to meet her.
“To say such a thing in front of a woman… Even the saint is mischievous.”
When the princess is ashamed and doesn’t know what to do.
Ray sensed the sharp gaze felt around him.
It was probably the tailings the 7th Knight Commander attached to himself.
When I counted the numbers, it wasn’t just one or two.
Ray told Celestia to change places.
“Would you like to walk for a while?”
At the beginning of the green flower garden, the gentle wind blew Ray’s hair gently.
It was simply that the wind blew into the garden, and a picture unfolded.
That ecstatic appearance made Celestia’s heart pound.
‘Oh my goodness. Why am I like this?’
“That’s right.”
I reluctantly agreed.
The maid, who had been watching Ray blankly for a moment, finally came to her senses.
‘Cheer up, princess!’
Did the maid’s support reach her?
Celestia looked at the maid and nodded once.
Ray headed deep into the flower garden in an attempt to evade the tailing.
In the middle, mana was spilled, disturbing and erasing the presence.
When the traces of the trailing people, who had begun to fall one by one, became undetectable, Ray’s footsteps stopped.
The place where they stopped walking was a familiar place to Celestia.
I only visited once when I was a kid.
her mother told me
– Celestia If you find a man you like, bring him here. Among the royal gardens, this is the most beautiful place.
A place rarely touched by gardeners.
But nonetheless, the most beautiful secret place in the flower garden.
I don’t know why the saint knew about that place, but Celestia felt her destiny.
Even though it was summer, the flowers blooming in spring made my eyes happy.
Every time the petals in the wind fly in the sky, Ray’s figure comes into view along with the surrounding scenery.
As if thinking about something.
The melancholic eyes make my heart ache.
“What is it?”
Celestia asked a question.
Rei, who interpreted it as meaning to say something quickly, opened her mouth.
“I have something to say about Celia’s future.”
Celia’s future!
if.
no way.
Is it also about marriage?
To listen seriously, Celestia straightened her clothes.
‘Ah, if I knew it would be like this, I would have paid more attention to it…’
I regretted it so much.
The words continued.
“You can’t tell anyone about this.”
“I swear.”
As soon as she returned, the self-confident Celestia boasted, intending to tell the lady-in-waiting.
“Actually… there is someone who is targeting the princess.”
“You mean me…?”
Celestia’s expression hardened a little at the word ‘goal’.
Is it the appearance of a serial enemy? Has anyone else been courted?
Why was he courting at such an important time!
She shook her head fiercely.
“I have no intention of accepting them.”
Celestia’s face turned bright red again at the thought that she had suddenly said something embarrassing.
Ray let out a sigh of relief.
You’re not going to join Ronell’s faction.
I couldn’t believe it, but I was a little relieved when I received a definite answer from the person himself.
“Then I’m glad. I almost gave up.”
If he gave up on conciliating Celestia and put pressure on King Deogard, his position would be difficult.
Ray looked at her.
As the sun shined on him just in time, Ray’s normally white skin stood out even more.
“I have a favor.”
“What is it?”
Celestia struggled to hold back a burst of laughter amid the pleasant tension that tickled her insides.
“Please convince His Majesty the King.”
