076. Uninvited Guest (1)

Her father, who had already expected her to come by this time… …what would he think?

“This is not the time to be doing this.”

Mircen quickly took off her training clothes and went into the bathroom.

* * *

A middle-aged man with pure white hair and a face that does not match his white hair, with his hair neatly slicked back and his thick-lined face giving off a strong impression. He has deep blue eyes and is the Duke of Cletin, the de facto leader of the Magic Kingdom who proudly guards the position of the one above all others and the one below all others.

Just as he finished his meditation, he received word from his steward that Rachel had arrived.

“Rachel……, you finally found me.”

-dripping.

There is no way a guest will come before you call him. If he does, he is a member of your household.

“Come in.”

The young man who came in with a bright face was none other than his eldest son, Mirsen. He greeted them politely and opened his mouth cautiously.

“Father, I heard that a girl named Rachel of Leond has arrived.”

“Yeah, have you met him?”

“I just happened to pass by after finishing my training and saw it.”

“Did you see the article about that incident?”

Mircen paused for a moment. As skilled as the knight was, she had not expected him to ask questions before Rachel.

“Yes…, I’m not sure, but judging by the mask covering half of his face, it looks like it’s him.”

For a moment, Cletino’s eyes lit up.

“Really? What do you think?”

Mirsen had a scene in her mind where a knight belonging to her, who was in the same dukedom but in a completely different situation, passed by without saying hello. It was because she was still lacking in training and experience to gain insight.

“It looks outstanding, but it doesn’t seem to be as good as the rumors say.”

Cletin’s spirits suddenly sank after hearing his answer.

“Hmm…… I see.”

“But Father, as you said last time, I have not heard your intentions regarding the Leond family.”

“Why do you ask?”

Mircen flinched at the counter-question, then continued speaking with a solemn look in her eyes.

“I learned that the powerful and the rich should help the poor and the weak. I think it’s right to help someone who is so delicate and pretty… no, someone who has lived a difficult life.”

Cletin looked at Mircene for a long time and then slowly pulled away.

“Son, this father has not yet decided how to treat the child. He already knows what she will ask, but the subsequent results are confusing him.”

“Are you talking about righteousness?”

“That’s right. If I raise my hand for that girl, a full-scale war will begin with the Duke of Goldin and his followers who have maintained neutrality. A warrior who cannot fight will rot inside. Our kingdom is just like that. Everyone has too much power and nowhere to vent it, so if someone starts the war first, it will grow out of control. Who do you think will be the biggest victims of that war? The innocent civilians. Before that happens, I will find something else to divert this power to.”

“But… don’t you know how long it will take to find that something? If it explodes before then, wouldn’t it be better to hold this woman’s hand?”

“Yes, you are right. She has greater power than expected as rumored, and if I help her, the safest and most ideal kingdom will be rebuilt after one great war. Which choice would be the right one?”

“…….”

Mirsen quietly waited for her father’s next words. It was just a matter of feelings for a woman he had fallen in love with at first sight, but when he thought back on the situation with the country, it was definitely not an issue that could be easily brought up. Mirsen scolded herself for taking the situation lightly for a moment.

“Yes, it will be difficult. Even this father does not always find the answer. First, tell Butler Nellick to bring the child.”

“Yes, father.”

Cletin closed his eyes after confirming that Mircene had left. Whether intentional or not, the conversation with his son had made his thoughts a little more concrete.

Leonid Rachel.

I decided to meet him first and then decide, because I don’t know how the situation will change depending on his wisdom, cleverness, and courage.

But her mind was already slightly inclined. How much would an eighteen-year-old girl know and how much training would she have? Just because she had been persecuted since childhood, her thoughts would be a little deeper than her peers, but that was far from enough. Furthermore, if the knight she had heard of was the one she had thought of, the possibility of reducing the bloodshed would be high, but after hearing Mircen’s story, it couldn’t have been him. It was unfortunate for the child, but her mind was already inclined to hold on to peace a little longer, even if only for a moment.

-dripping.

“Lady Rachel is here.”

“Okay, take it.”

Finally, the door opened carefully and a woman with neatly tied lime hair came in.

“Your Majesty, my name is Leond Rachel.”

“Yes, nice to meet you. Please have a seat.”

The grace and kindness that can be felt in every gesture, the carefulness and elegance that are ingrained in her body, and the fact that she is not very womanizing are worthy of interest to her son Mircen. However, the unfortunate woman is not someone that can be easily embraced by her family.

Cletino turned the conversation on, his eyes cold and calm.

She is cautious in everything she does, and although she occasionally shows her characteristic melancholy, she is not only wise, but also intelligent and strong. She is a precious talent. If her magic had been even half as good as her husband’s, she would not have come to this. However… … It is not enough to trade hundreds of thousands of blood and her family lineage.

“I…… don’t think it’s time for a civil war to break out in the kingdom yet. I’m sorry, but I can’t grant your wish. We will take responsibility for your safety, so if you want, how about taking refuge in our family and waiting a little longer?”

“But… I understand. I have listened to your words, Your Highness. I appreciate your intentions, but I will return to my family… to my father. If you change your mind later, please let me know.”

“I see……. Okay, take care.”

Rachel tried to control her expression.

She also understands the Duke’s worries. However, Icarone will disappear soon, and Friel is much more vicious and cruel than Cletinos thought. There is no time. There is no time to wait. However, she is in no position to say anything when he asks for such great help without giving anything, so she stands up with a look of regret.

“Hey, hey, Rachel.”

“……yes?”

Someone called out to Rachel, who was walking down the stairs with her shoulders hunched. He was a gray-haired man with bronze skin, dark eyebrows, clear eyes, and a square jaw, giving him a manly look. Rachel immediately recognized him and bowed gently.

“Myrcene, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Leond Rachel.”

“Oh yes, this is Cletin Mircea. I guess the conversation with your father didn’t go well.”

Rachel answered, lowering her head slightly.

“Yes……, I guess it’s a big issue…….”

-Suddenly.

Rachel was startled when this strange man suddenly grabbed her hand with both of his. However, his appearance and eyes did not show any impure intentions, so she just stared at him with her eyes wide open like a startled rabbit.

“Don’t worry too much! I will somehow convince my father and bring justice to Rachel! Until then, until then, take care of yourself. I will come to see you.”

“ah…….”

Rachel blinked her big eyes in confusion as she looked at him. Why was this man so eager to help her? Rachel, who had learned from a young age that there was no such thing as unmerited favor in the world, wondered why. However, his eyes were so clear and transparent that it was embarrassing to have such a question. Anyway, no matter what the reason, she was grateful… … Even if he was her son, the Duke of Cletin was famous for not changing his mind once he had made up his mind.

Rachel smiled faintly and thanked him.

“Thank you…… just from the heart, Mircen.”

Mircen felt dizzy seeing her face so close, and her lovely smile at that. Then, he felt her fingers wiggling in his hand.

“Hey, hey, this please…….”

“Ah……? Ah! Yes, I’m sorry.”

Mircen was startled and let go of the hand he was holding. Then, he just stared blankly at her back as she politely greeted him once more and left.

‘Ha… …, Rachel is definitely an angel.’

* * *

Rachel left Cletin’s mansion almost at dinnertime, searching for Icarone, who was wandering around the mansion. Mircene had advised her to go the next morning, but now that the threat was imminent, Rachel could not afford to waste a single hour, let alone a day, so she set off immediately.

It was when the sunlight had completely disappeared and the red moon was faintly illuminating the world. As we were passing through the Svorov Forest, the border between the Duke of Cletin’s territory, Raymidon, and the village of Volkeron, the carriage suddenly stopped, and soon the coachman’s voice was heard.

“Hey! Get out of the way! Hey? Oh, uh…….”

At that sound, Rachel stuck her head out the small window in the carriage. There was a woman and a boy standing there, holding hands, but they showed no sign of moving out of the way.

“wait a minute.”

“Hey, miss, it’s dangerous.”

Despite Requille’s protests, Rachel got out of the carriage and approached the mother and daughter, asking:

“Are you lost?”

The woman remained silent, and a boy who looked to be about ten years old muttered softly.

“……female…….”

Rachel couldn’t hear very well, so she took two steps closer and asked.

“Huh? What are you saying?”

“……Death, ……Hell…….”

When Rachel still could not hear him well, she took a step closer to the child and listened. Then she could clearly hear what he was saying.

“……Woman, kill Rachel!”

The child suddenly jumped up, shouting sharply as if asking when she had whispered. Rachel felt goosebumps for a moment and her mind went blank.

Rachel was out of her mind. The mouth of the child in front of her was completely black. The fingertips reaching out to her were also abnormally black. In addition, a creepy murderous intent that she could not have imagined coming from a child was emanating from her. At that moment, she felt someone grabbing the back of her neck hard.

“Huh!”

At the same time that his own body was pushed backwards, he saw the necks of the child and the woman in front of him being cut off at the same time.

“Whoa!”
