The soldier shouted save (29)
Transfer of the second daughter’s privileges.
With that said, people were left to make a choice.
“Where are you going?”
“The eldest son is the one who is arranged, but I’m not sure. If it’s going to be like this, we should consider the other one as well.”
The voices of the nobles can be heard even without listening.
Hye-rin let out a small voice as she saw them finish their decisions and start walking.
“But, is it okay to lie in a place like this?”
“Lies? Who are you talking about?”
“Second daughter. The privileges cannot be transferred. Am I misunderstanding something?”
Privileges are absolutely non-transferable.
Although Hye-rin, the warrior herself, said it so firmly, I thought a little differently.
‘There might be a way to transfer it. I also got the ‘mic on/off’ privilege from the dead Jang Jin-woo.’
He turns his gaze and looks at where his second daughter is.
The nobles who show interest in her fall into two categories.
“What do you mean by special privilege? Do you mean equipment?”
“No, special powers refer to the special powers of warriors.”
“… Then, can only one person receive that power?”
“Yes, I plan to give it to the person who contributed the most.”
First, there were those who showed interest in the special privileges the second daughter spoke of.
“Your Highness the Walker, to what extent do you think the merit of marriage will be considered?”
“I don’t think this is the right time to talk about it. I’ll tell you later.”
The second was those who planned to marry Marie Walker directly, without mentioning their daughters or relatives.
“So, where are you going, sir?”
Only one person can receive compensation from Marie Walker.
Moreover, if the transferred privilege is something that can be used under special conditions, such as ‘microphone on/off’, there is no point in receiving it.
Without a second thought, the eldest son.
If it weren’t for the save perk, I probably would have thought so.
“I choose the second daughter. You, go to the eldest son.”
“… Huh? No, why are you sending me aside when you’re going together… … .”
“There’s only one person who can get compensation from the second daughter. If you don’t like Kyle Walker, go with the youngest.”
Goyle Walker with his oily jawline.
Hye-rin, who saw the youngest of the Walker family, unconsciously shook her head from side to side and turned her steps.
“I’d rather go with the eldest son than choose that.”
“Yeah, I thought about it carefully.”
“… What were you thinking of when you left me alone?”
In Hye-rin’s words, she talks about the benefits of choosing Kyle Walker.
“Since there are many people who chose the eldest son, the battle line is solid, and since you are not the only magician, you do not need to shoulder all the magic. Perhaps, even if the subjugation of the great demons fails, it will be safe if you are on the eldest son’s side.”
More important than my own death was the death of someone close to me that I couldn’t see.
Because the save may be triggered at an undesirable time, which may lead to the death of those around you.
“… Okay. If that’s the reason, I’ll try harder… .”
Hye-rin sighs deeply and walks with difficulty, as if she doesn’t want to go to a place where nobles hang out.
Now, I too must make a final decision.
‘I hope it’s true that you’re transferring the privilege.’
There were seven people gathered in front of Marie Walker, including me.
But even this small number seemed uncertain.
Because some nobles looked closely at the second daughter’s appearance and distorted their faces.
“Lady Walker, you have a big scar on your face?”
A rude remark pointing out the facial scar Marie Walker had hidden behind her long hair.
Marie Walker smiled at that sight and replied,
“I have a large scar on my left eye, but it’s not as big as yours.”
“… A scar? I don’t have a scar. What do you mean?”
“You didn’t see it because it was a scar that had just appeared. Didn’t a single thoughtless word leave a big scar on your family?”
“Th, th… what…”
Marie Walker says with a smile on her face at the bewildered look on the nobleman’s face.
“Remember, even if all the Walkers’ teeth fall out, they will still have the claws to tear your family apart.”
Marie Walker answers with a smile again.
“I hope it ends with a scar that can be covered with hair.”
The sight of a female warrior who doesn’t flinch even in front of a man with a sword.
“Ugh, uhm. I’ll have to think about it some more.”
The nobles who had gathered around her coughed in vain and left, perhaps because their thoughts of marriage had disappeared at the sight.
“Is it okay if I don’t think about that article again?”
As the second daughter sits down on the stairs in a carefree manner, part of the scar hidden by her hair is revealed.
Burn scars covering about half of the face.
Instead of answering, I shrug my shoulders and sit down, and the second daughter smiles.
“Still, I managed to secure one.”
The second daughter’s gaze was directed to her eldest son, who was crowded with applicants, and her youngest son, who was equally active in recruiting.
“But, one person… .”
The second daughter smiled bitterly as she looked at the quiet space in front of her where no one had gathered.
* * *
After the unit formation was completed, full-scale preparations to eradicate the demons began.
The one leading the operation is naturally Kyle Walker, who has secured the most people.
I took my eyes off the noisy eldest son’s camp and looked towards the second daughter.
There were four knights, including me, who ultimately chose the second daughter.
Like those who volunteered to be soldiers, they were all from commoner backgrounds.
‘It shouldn’t be hard to get the privilege.’
Since I led the operation of the second daughter’s camp based on my experience in subduing the demons, the special privilege that was supposed to be given to the most active person will be mine.
“… … So when exactly are you leaving?”
Hye-rin, who took the seat next to me after leaving the eldest son’s camp, leans her head against the table with a tired face.
Dark circles that are particularly noticeable.
“Did you lose sleep?”
When I asked that, Hye-rin let out a loud noise as if she had been waiting for it.
“No, I was lying down on the bed to sleep, but the maid was right next to me.”
“I would have thought you were a noble in your uniform, so it’s only natural that you would have a dedicated maid.”
“Ha, I understand what you’re thinking, but how can you sleep when someone keeps staring at you? I asked them to go outside because I didn’t need them, but they’re saying it’s an order from Kyle… .”
I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw Hye-rin leaning her head on my shoulder and pouring out her sorrow.
Because it was a common trait among warriors to feel burdened by dedicated servants.
“How many maids did you assign?”
“There are only three of us! Wow, I almost lost it when they followed me to the bathroom.”
The smile slowly disappears at Hye-rin’s words.
The fact that he followed her to the bathroom despite her expressing her dislike for the nobleman means that there was a strong order from Kyle Walker.
“Did you notice anything strange while preparing to slay the demons?”
“There was. Some people said that it was dangerous to finish the expedition in one day… … .”
A move that is too hasty in its subjugation.
It was natural for the eldest son to want to solve the problem of obtaining the World Tree leaves as soon as possible, but there was something he just couldn’t understand.
“The eldest son promised to pay his debts?”
“Yes. I heard that they pay differentially in order of contribution to eradicating marijuana?”
Was it an attempt to increase morale?
You can’t stand it for just a day or two and make a choice that puts your future as the next permanent resident in jeopardy.
‘That’s not noble.’
A feeling of uneasiness that doesn’t go away.
I wanted to ask Hye-rin more about her eldest son, but I was short on time.
“Anna… …right now.”
The maid who watched over Hye-rin until she fell asleep.
When the maid waiting nearby calls her pseudonym, Hye-rin frowns and gets up from her seat.
“I’ll go. See you in the Forest of Spirits.”
“Always put your own safety first.”
“You too, sir.”
Even though I had rolled around the palace enough, it was not easy to catch a glimpse of the naked face of a nobleman who was as cunning as a snake.
‘There is no choice but to experience it with your body.’
As I was quietly watching the conference room where the three Walker siblings were gathered, the door opened.
The second daughter is walking towards me with quick steps.
“Your Majesty, follow me.”
The place we arrived at after following her, who looked anxious, was the second daughter’s operation room, where a large map was placed on the table.
“After meeting with my brother, we decided to change the plan.”
“You’re telling me now?”
It’s almost time to go out.
“I think I’ll have to play the role of a guerrilla who disrupts the hemp plants. What would be a good way to do it?”
Their role suddenly changed from that of a reserve force waiting in the rear to that of a vulnerable main force, to a guerrilla force that caused confusion in the enemy.
“What is the reason?”
“… … I’m greedy. I want to achieve something bigger.”
The desire to push out the eldest son and take the next lord’s seat.
For obvious reasons, I ran my hand over the map.
“We have to leave in a few hours, so it’s impossible to plan a proper operation. It would be better to move flexibly based on on-the-spot judgment while staying within a distance where we can receive the protection of a wizard.”
It means to prioritize safety, wait for an opportunity, and then boldly stand at the forefront when the location of the hemp is revealed.
As I continued my explanation, recalling my memories of fighting the demon, the second daughter lowered her head with a bitter smile.
“The previous plan was also something you came up with after much thought, but I apologize for changing it just before the battle.”
He says this with a sly smile.
“Your Majesty, just show me what nobles do best.”
“… … What is that?”
When the second daughter made a ring with her fingers to represent a gold coin, she covered her mouth and giggled as if she could not hold back her laughter.
“Yes, I may not be as good as you, but I am confident when it comes to spending money. When this is over, I will stuff you with enough gold coins so that you will want to serve me for the rest of your life.”
“… … For life. Let’s first see how much gold there is and think about it.”
The second daughter, who had finally burst into laughter, shook her head and raised her voice.
“Call all our knights!”
When the maid who had been waiting for those words brought the knights from the second daughter’s side and finished explaining the changed strategy.
-Ding ding ding ding.
A loud bell rang.
“It’s time to go! Everyone, get on the carriage!”
Is it a belated act of greed, or an attempt to keep the youngest, Coyle Walker, in check?
The soldiers board the carriage, following the eldest son’s orders, without delaying the departure time even a little.
“Young Lord, please ride in the same carriage as me.”
A leather garment with metal lining and a sword that is little more than a decoration.
Guessing that the second daughter was completely incapable of handling a sword, I looked out the window at the carriage of the eldest son, Jinyoung.
‘I hope I don’t get motion sickness this time.’
I thought of Hye-rin vomiting as soon as she arrived at the walker, but I wasn’t too worried.
Because the wizards who couldn’t use higher level magic would have helped maintain Hye-rin’s condition.
“… … That’s strange. Something’s wrong.”
The second daughter suddenly frowns and twists her body to look out the window.
Was there something that went wrong with the plan?
I stuck my head out of the carriage and looked outside.
‘what?’
-Whew!
An alien smell carried by the strong wind.
At that moment, someone’s scream was heard.
“Ugh, euaaaaaaah!”
“Hey, carriage! Stop the carriage!”
-Bang! Bam!
The surrounding carriages suddenly stop with a loud crashing sound.
The carriages were tangled together, unable to slow down.
I saw a palm-sized feather falling from the sky, and I jumped out of the carriage.
“Young-ae, please stay inside.”
Jump up onto the wall and stand on the roof of the carriage.
The brown color that covers the sky.
It was a situation that was completely off-topic.
Because a flock of giant eagles, spreading their huge wings and descending, covered the heads of the punitive force.
“Chains! Get the carriage with the chains!”
A brutal sight of a giant eagle tearing off the roof of a carriage and devouring the heads of soldiers.
The beast-controlling demon, Mentis, was trampling on the expedition force.
