The Cheerful God of Betrayal Chapter 455

The next day.

As soon as Lexion saw Arendt, his face distorted.

“… … What the hell is that you’re looking like?”

I wasn’t talking about injuries.

Because Arendt, in Lexion’s eyes right now, must be in a state where she smells like blood.

It was only natural, after having been having sex with Nereid in my dreams for several days.

“The handsome and talented Arendt von Eckhart. Are you dissatisfied?”

But Arendt just crossed her arms and answered shamelessly.

Lexion was at a loss for words. The knights and elves around him naturally had no choice but to show their dismayed expressions.

Rexion growled in a small voice, holding back the curses that were about to burst out.

“Where on earth did you hear my warnings?”

“What do you want me to do? I’m so great that you want to talk to me.”

Arendt shrugged. Lexion, who was about to say something else, realized that there were many eyes watching him and just let out a deep sigh.

“… … I’ll see you later.”

“Yes. If my neck is still attached later.”

“… … .”

Lexion just touched my forehead.

I’ve experienced the absurd situation several times where a being as great as a dragon would get a migraine because of a mere human.

And Ludwin, who witnessed the quarrel between the apprentice knight and the unidentified man in black, was somewhat embarrassed.

“Llewelyn. Who is the author?”

The person who barged in without notice seemed to be quite close to the Imperial Knights. However, Ludwin did not seem to understand why he suddenly appeared in front of those who were returning.

“that is…….”

Llewelyn smiled vaguely.

They might have guessed. That Lexion, who was arguing aimlessly with a brat who was in a state of bandage here and there, was actually a dragon.

Besides, that damn apprentice knight was using him, a dragon or something, as a convenient means of transportation.

“Well, he’s a great wizard who works with the Kalyon Empire. He’s an amazing person.”

For now, I decided to just say it like this. That’s what was known to the public at the time.

‘Lexion himself didn’t really want to let it be known that he was a dragon… … .’

As the battle dragged on, the presence of dragons on both sides was inevitably revealed, but Lexion was still disguised as an archmage.

Llewelyn, who had thought that far, realized the discomfort belatedly.

‘wait for a sec.’

Normally, Leos would have pretended to lead the troops and moved, then joined up with Lexion in a place where people couldn’t see, and used teleportation.

But this time, as if there had been some sort of change of heart, Lexion told them to gather in front of the barracks.

‘What’s going on?’

Llewelyn hesitated for a moment, but shook the thought away and continued speaking.

“Shekinah will be staying in the Everran Kingdom for the time being, so if you have any requests for the Empire, please go through Shekinah.”

“I see. More than that… … Llewelyn.”

Ludwin nodded and lowered his voice slightly.

“Are you really thinking of going to the Empire?”

“Yes, I’m going.”

Llewelyn answered readily. Ludwin frowned at his usual tone.

“Of course I know you trust Lord Arendt. There must have been some false accusation or some other misunderstanding. I understand that you want to go to the Empire to help him, but… … .”

“No?”

Ludwin asked curiously as Llewelyn’s eyes widened.

“No?”

“I, I don’t trust that kid. What about false accusations or misunderstandings? He’s a guy who would cause trouble and leave others behind. Don’t you know that even after seeing him?”

“… … .”

Ludwin shut his mouth tightly.

I had no idea what to say to my younger brother who was talking like it was obvious…

On the one hand, it was because I couldn’t deny the fact that he had done something wrong and was still growing up.

Then Llewelyn added:

“That’s why I’m going.”

“I don’t know what you mean. If that’s the case, then it’s better not to go. It’s clear that Lord Arendt was plotting this, and if you take his side too rashly… … .”

There may be problems in the relationship between the Kingdom of Everran and the Empire of Kalyon.

As a prince, it would have been right to bring that up first, but Ludwin spoke more frankly.

“I’m afraid you’re in danger.”

“… … .”

Llewelyn blinked. Ludwin hesitated for a moment before continuing.

“Your mother, father, and brother are of the same opinion. Diplomatic relations are important, but we are just worried that you might get involved in something dangerous.”

“older brother…….”

“I know you’re not a weakling. You’re adventurous and free-spirited. That’s why I want you to live your life the way you want.”

Even though he knew Llewelyn wasn’t enjoying it very much, Ludwin had been teaching him strictly how to survive in aristocratic society and how to behave as a prince.

But that was only because he hoped that he would not be caught as a prince.

“War and political strife are not for you. I understand why you like Arendt, but she is at the center of too many strife… .”

Ludwin swallowed hard.

“Aside from this incident, Lord Arendt attracts too much attention. She is a dangerous person to keep close to.”

“I know, too.”

Llewelyn nodded with a sly smile.

“That’s why I’m going. He’s such an outrageous guy, I need at least one more person to give him a beating.”

“I’m not joking.”

“I’m not joking either.”

Llewelyn smiled bitterly as Ludwin frowned.

“I’m worried that if I leave you alone, you’ll end up somewhere alone and die.”

“… … .”

Ludwin, who was about to say something in response, closed his mouth again.

“He’s a tough guy, but strangely enough, he doesn’t seem to have much attachment to life… … You saw it this time too. He’s like that in everything.”

Llewelyn looked at Ludwin, adding as if he was lamenting.

“He’s a guy who tries to save at least one more person, so what can I do? Even if I have to be swayed, I have to stay by his side. I’m the one who clung to him to be his friend. I have to take responsibility for that.”

Ludwin, who had been silent for a while, asked.

“So you think that the treason also has another meaning for Lord Arendt.”

“Yes. I gained a lot of knowledge by moving with that guy.”

Llewelyn nodded seriously.

“Brother. I won’t say anything else. But… … .”

He paused for a moment and then added:

“It may be a question we should think about at least once. Is it true that there is a justice that has been established since the beginning?”

“what?”

“Justice exists because there is evil. The reason why Captain Lyos is called the Hero of the Holy Sword is because there is a sect of the god Chernion, who is referred to as the evil god.”

Llewelyn continued speaking slowly, still watching Arendt bickering with Lexion.

“Was the god Chernion evil from the beginning? And the god Luce is good, existing to oppose him?”

“… … .”

Ludwin couldn’t answer, because the youngest one who was mumbling like that seemed like someone else.

“Where did the forgotten gods go after the great war?”

“… … Llewelyn.”

“older brother.”

Ludwin tried to open his mouth, but Llewelyn was faster than him. Lowering his voice, Llewelyn whispered so that only Ludwin could hear.

“I will deliver the materials I have collected while moving with Arendt to the kingdom.”

Ludwin swallowed briefly at the soft voice. Llewelyn, who changed the mood again and smiled playfully, tapped him on the shoulder.

“I will leave the judgment to my brothers, mother, and father. Then you will understand what I am saying.”

“No, wait… … .”

“I’m sorry in advance because I think you’ll have quite a headache. No, actually, I’m not really sorry. I’m sharing for free what I’ve been working so hard to collect with that guy.”

“Llewelyn said with a broad smile.

“So I really hope you’ll consider this seriously. You can call me a blasphemer and a traitor. I just want to somehow ease that guy’s burden.”

“you…….”

“I don’t know how my brothers will take it, but I’ve already made up my mind.”

Llewelyn, smiling faintly and bowing his head as usual, walked back towards the knights.

Ludwin said nothing and just watched her back as she walked away.

at that time.

Ludwin locked eyes with the man in black who was talking to Arendt.

“… … ?”

The moment Ludwin stopped in his tracks at the cold gaze.

Suddenly, huge wings sprouted from the man’s back, and a huge, shining white magic circle appeared on the ground.

“Hey, wait a minute, Lexion? Here?”

The moment when Llewelyn shouts in embarrassment.

A huge magical storm engulfed the group in an instant.

After a while.

The light faded and an empty space appeared before Ludwin’s eyes. Just moments ago, it was where the royal knights, including Laius, had been.

“… … .”

This time, Ludwin’s mind went blank. The knights and soldiers who had come to see him off were the same.

“What just now… … ?”

Someone muttered in a dazed tone. Only then did Ludwin recall one fact.

The rebellion that occurred in the Kingdom of Lucain escalated to the point where dragons fought each other in the skies above the royal palace.

Until recently, dragons were considered to be nothing more than mythical creatures, but that incident made it clear to the public that they actually existed.

One of the fighting dragons is a known follower of the god Chernion, and the other one that stopped him was… … .

“… … Dragon?”

Ludwin muttered in a daze. The prince’s voice echoed through the suddenly quiet surroundings.

The face of Llewelyn, who had been vaguely talking about being an archmage, came to mind.

A few seconds later.

The faces of those present at the scene all turned as white as a sheet of paper.

* * *

When they opened their eyes with a dizzying sensation, they were standing in the Imperial Palace training ground of the Kalion Empire. Arendt, who had been dazed for a moment, looked at Lexion.

“Lexion, have you lost your mind?”

Lexion gave a harsh response to Arendt’s absurd question.

“Isn’t it weird that I’m living my life being treated like a means of transportation by human children, when I’m still in my right mind?”

“That’s true… … . Rather, it’s more surprising that Arendt is still alive… … .”

Arthur nodded, muttering something like a groan.

Still, I never thought he would openly use teleportation while Prince Ludwin and the other soldiers were watching.

In fact, it was the same as letting the Kalion Empire know that dragons were with them.

Lexion said incredulously.

“That doesn’t mean I’ve really lost it.”

It was even more absurd that the knights dared to tell the dragon that he was out of his mind.

Even in the midst of all this, Lyos, who did not lose his composure, asked.

“Lord Lexion. Are you sure it’s okay?”

“doesn’t care.”

Lexion waved his hand fatly.

“This is something I can’t keep quiet about forever. Above all, I said I would take responsibility now.”

Just as Lyos was about to raise an eyebrow at the unknown words, Lexion added again.

“And don’t forget. I’m not working with you, hero, or the Kalyon Empire.”

“yes?”

“Let me make this clear once again, my only ally is that little brat.”

Lexion nodded to Arendt.

“I would like you to make it clear on your own line so that other humans do not get confused about that point.”

“… … .”

Only then did Lyos truly understand why Lexion had acted that way.

After a brief pause, Lyos answered.

“I will keep that in mind.”

Arendt took a step back and stared blankly at the two of them, then let out a short sigh and shrugged her shoulders.

As if it had nothing to do with him.
