Episode 156

“That’s strange.”

“yes……?”

As Helia, who was reading the letter, muttered softly, Sarette, who was beside her, raised her head.

“Why are you doing this, Your Majesty?”

“ma’am.”

“yes.”

“Is it true that nothing happened in the Second Prince’s palace?”

“…What are you talking about specifically?”

Sarette, who had suffered a lot in the Second Prince’s Palace, asked cautiously, feeling a little stung.

“You shouldn’t understand that much… You must be getting older.”

“…sorry.”

The queen’s eyes narrowed at the lukewarm answer.

Whoa-, the tangent spread out and covered her lower body.

“That cheeky thing got hurt, or there was a feud or something.”

“…I’m sorry. I don’t know.”

The red pupils shining above the tangent curved slightly in response to that answer.

Sarette lowered her head, feeling her liver and gallbladder go cold. Is this what it would feel like to actually face the monster known as Medusa?

But there was no excuse. In reality, rather than educating Baedong, he was often the one who suffered, and the child always came alone.

Moreover, since they tend to follow orders in any form, it is actually easier to just educate them normally.

“How was your relationship with the Second Prince’s knight?”

“Are you talking about Baedong?”

“Madam, don’t make me say it twice.”

“…I don’t know since I haven’t seen them together. I’ll find out.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

“…yes.”

Helia chased Sarette away and checked the letter again.

-The knot is loose.

There was nothing left to see in the letter, which only contained two words. But it was not easy to understand it.

No, I understood it at first. It wasn’t difficult content.

It just meant that the contract was fulfilled.

I thought Baedong had been dealt with, but the Second Prince’s palace was quiet. As if nothing had happened.

‘How can it be so quiet?’

If it had been a letter saying that the knot had been broken, I wouldn’t have been so troubled. It would have been a bit expensive, but it wasn’t impossible to forcefully break the contract by hiring a wizard from a higher circle.

Of course, it was extremely difficult for a mere knight to hire a precious wizard, and it was unlikely that the knight would forcibly break the contract in that way when he didn’t know what would happen to his sister.

‘Then it definitely means that the contract was fulfilled… … .’

Even though Baedong is alive and well and running around, the fact that the contract was fulfilled means that the knight took corresponding action.

‘I don’t understand English.’

dripping-

Just then someone knocked on the door and a familiar voice was heard.

“Mother, it’s a little girl.”

“Louis, my prince. Come in.”

The door to the reception room opened carefully, and a head of dark blue hair neatly tied to one side was glimpsed.

“What is it, Prince?”

“…I am concerned that I may have disturbed your rest.”

“You sound sad. Come here, Louis. Let’s have a cup of tea with your mother.”

As Lawrence sat down on the sofa, the maid came over and poured him some tea. The scent of peppermint filled the air.

“Prince, why are you so careful?”

Shudder.

The hand that was about to pick up the teacup stopped at the piercing question. But soon, as if it was nothing, it moved again and picked up the teacup.

“You misunderstand, Mother.”

Horok, the scent of herbs filled my mouth.

“Then I guess you didn’t come here because you had something to say to this mother.”

As she spoke, Helia’s eyes narrowed gently. Normally, Lawrence would have smiled back, but this time he lowered his eyes slightly and avoided her red gaze.

“Oh, Louis. Is there anything this mother has to be concerned about? Tell me quickly.”

“…….”

“Hello?”

Lawrence hesitated at the soft urging that felt strangely oppressive, then carefully moved his lips away.

“…By any chance, what happened to that belly?”

Helia’s expression sank low at the question that held so much within her. However, it soon softened and her voice continued in a soft tone.

“Prince, you are particularly interested in that child.”

“…….”

“Why?”

“…The other children…, haven’t been gone for over a week. So…….”

“Oh, Louis, my prince. You are asking such a stupid question today.”

“…….”

Lawrence’s lips were tightly shut at the sharp criticism.

“The reason other things fall out quickly is because they had a place to return to. But they came from the bottom. You shouldn’t think that you’ll fall out easily after living a comfortable life in the palace.”

“…….”

“Shouldn’t we start filling the earrings with mana soon? I’ll call a wizard.”

“…yes.”

***

‘Why on earth did the prince come to such a dirty place?’

Noah, who had been standing the whole time the children were eating because there was nowhere to sit except on the log, pouts.

The prince and Baedong sat on the floor surrounded by other children, oblivious to the dirt.

“Haha, Ner, I thought you were someone else at first. What happened to your hair and eyes?”

“Um, um…, Hyung-ah did it.”

“How much money did you use to buy food?”

“With money, hyung.”

“What brings you here today?”

“My older brother told me to go…….”

The prince tilted his head as he answered, as if something seemed strange.

Then I saw a boy who seemed to be the leader of the group whispering to the prince. At first glance, I thought he was talking to me as he glanced in my direction.

“Noah, come here. If you don’t want to sit on the floor, I’ll take off my robe.”

“…but…….”

“Come here.”

Noah noticed and then slowly approached Nihil after he had said something.

It’s not that I went because I didn’t like being alone. I went because the prince told me to.

And I heard that some of the supplies and supplies for the hot stone are supplied by our superiors, so this is a kind of satisfaction survey. At the same time, if there are any shortcomings, they should be improved.

Huh? When I think about it, isn’t this a good opportunity to help my father’s business?

Noah, who had changed his mind, started asking questions about this and that with shining eyes.

How is it using the hot stone? Is it difficult? Has it ever been dangerous? Do you like the food that is distributed? What do you want to eat? Is there anything you lack?

“I actually know Alieaep……!”

“……?”

“Haha, ahahahaha…….”

Lianus quickly covered Noah’s excited mouth and laughed awkwardly. It wouldn’t have been a big problem if Noah’s identity had been revealed, but it wasn’t his.

If it is revealed that the children were deeply involved in this redevelopment and relief project, they will certainly be used for political purposes.

At that moment, my friend, who had been quiet, turned his head somewhere and heard someone calling him.

“Ner.”

“huh?”

“I’m going out for a bit.”

“Huh, huh? Where?”

“There’s a crack.”

“…crack?”

Even as he tilted his head, Nihil got up from his seat and dusted himself off.

“Puppy, be on high alert.”

At those words, Sir Evan appeared. The children screamed in surprise, but they did not run away because they had seen his face before.

“Don’t come out.”

Nihil said something to somewhere and stood there for a while.

“Neil, where are you going?”

“To make money.”

“……?”

“I’ll be back in an hour at the latest… no, two hours. I’m with the kids.”

“Fairy Brother! Go get the tail?”

Dan asked brightly. As soon as I saw you today, I looked for meat.

“Okay. I’ll get you some meat.”

Nihil said that and then counted the number of children, as if he really wanted to save them.

Some children were excited about eating meat for dinner.

“Brother, isn’t it dangerous?”

“Don’t worry. I’m not in any danger. Can I take the remaining two with me?”

“Huh…? Oh, okay. Yeah! Definitely take me.”

Realizing that the two meant the escort knights, Lianus quickly nodded. It was much more reassuring than sending them off alone.

There was no problem with escorting since Sir Evan and Sir Michael were there in the first place.

“Okay. Lima, Frederick, follow me.”

Nihil said that and went out, flapping the tent.

The tent flapped twice more.

***

“No, Master! Let’s close the crack first! I said you know how to close it!”

“Collect a few more magic stones.”

“If we collect that, we’ll die first!”

“You’re joking without even a single scratch.”

Nihil, who had been standing still and pointing out the location of the monster’s core, snorted as he approached the rift. He had told Rianus that he would return within two hours, so he had to finish it up soon.

Nihil glanced at the last remaining wolf-shaped monster and gave an order.

“Between the third and fourth thoracic vertebrae.”

“I don’t know where the third and fourth thoracic spine of a dog!”

“He’s incompetent.”

However, unlike Frederick, Lima seemed to have a rough idea of ​​the location and quickly jumped up, avoiding the bone and stabbing it in with his dagger.

“It’s not long enough. Insert 5cm more.”

“yes.”

Lima balanced on the rampaging demon with the dagger blade still in place, then pulled out the slightly longer spare dagger that was tucked into his waistband and stabbed it in deeper.

“Don’t hurt the magic stone too much.”

“yes.”

Lima twisted the blade as it was, then put his hand into the wound and grabbed the magic stone.

As I pulled it out forcefully, the flesh that was stuck to the magic stone stretched out and then snapped.

Nihil turned his head toward the crack after seeing that the magic stone was safely recovered. Just then, a monster was poking its head through the crack.

The monster trying to pass through the crack was much larger than the crack itself, so the black beast struggled, barely able to get its head out.

Nihil supported the gaping maw with his feet and hands, trying to swallow himself, and buried his head inside. Then he extended his remaining hand and pierced the intestines, pulling out the magic stone inside.

When the magic stone was separated, it turned to ash and scattered.

Nihil rubbed the magic stone against his clothes and held it up to the sunlight. It seemed to be the best of all the things he had collected today.

As he closed the crack, Frederick turned around and looked at him with a blank expression. Lima’s face also looked pale.

“why.”

“…I thought you were going to get eaten.”

“You’re so scared.”

“…You could have captured us so easily, but you just stood there and took advantage of us……?”

“There’s a lot to say about not being able to find the nuclear location even though it’s being told to you.”

“…….”

“Wasn’t it a good experience?”

“That’s…, that’s true.”

It couldn’t be more convenient since it only tells you the location of the nukes. Of course, it wasn’t enough to deal with multiple of them at once.

Then Nihil took something out of his bosom and threw it into the air.

“What are you spraying?”

“Seongsu.”

To be exact, it was diluted holy water. This was possible because the holy water obtained from the puppy was extremely pure.

If you don’t want to get involved with the Grand Duke, you have to make sure to clean up after yourself. If you leave traces like you did with the pirate ship, you might arouse suspicion.

Nihil turned around as he saw the magic and divine powers clashing and consuming each other’s presence, collapsing.

“egg plant.”

“Yes. …Your Majesty? Over there?”

“meat.”

“ah…….”

***

“Pretty hyung’s little brother hyung, how’s the cat? Did you eat it?”

Brie, her face covered in cream, smiled brightly and blurted out cruel words without hesitation.

“No! I told you not to eat cats!”

“Then where did you go?”

“Uh…, so…, I’ll be at home.”

“Does Meow have a home?”

“Ugh……”

“Why does Meow have a home, but Hyung-ah doesn’t have a home?”

“……I know.”

“Sigh.”

Evan, who had been watching, burst into laughter. Then, when he saw the twins hanging on his arms and begging to play, he lifted them up again.

“Hahaha, that’s funny.”

“Mr. Bear, higher!”

“…I’m not a sir.”

As Evan grumbled, little Dan, who was swinging on Jane’s arm, asked brightly.

“Brother Jane, when will the knight come?”

“Well, well, well. Hah, when you have free time, oh, why don’t you come?”

“…Knight…, Rani?”

When Evan hesitated at the word knight and asked, Yvonne answered on his behalf.

“Oh, sometimes there’s someone who comes to give us extra things. Every time they come, they bring expensive chocolates, and that’s what the kids wait for.”

chocolate.

Evan’s face hardened even more. He remembered the person who would come to see him when he was a child and bring him expensive chocolates.

“…By any chance, what do you think of that article’s impression?”

“Why are you curious about my impression?”

“……!”

Evan’s head snapped up at the sound of a familiar, yet absolutely unheard voice. The tent flapped and someone came inside.

“What are you doing here, Evan?”

“Yes, Captain……”

Walter looked at the twins hanging from Evan’s arm and raised a corner of his mouth.

“You play well with kids.”
