Chapter 115

Episode 115:

I left the castle and headed to the Magic Tower.

The princess and I didn’t say anything for a while.

-Humans are too quiet.

It was so quiet that even the lively hatchling was tired.

The words the crown prince said after hearing me still ring in my ears.

Those words that say you can trust and entrust the princess to you.

Since there was a princess next to me, those words secretly bothered me.

“…Thank you.”

“yes?”

Breaking the heavy silence, the princess spoke first.

She suddenly thanked me and said,

“I was scared… but thanks to you, I gained courage. For making me realize again that I am not a useless person. “It was nice to feel like it was okay to be confident.”

“I was just telling the truth.”

“…you are a good person.”

She smiled.

Then he came closer to me and held my hand.

“I think I can entrust everything to you.”

No, I’m just thankful. Why am I saying such anxious things?

“Please marry me.”

Even though his face was very red, he didn’t let go of my hand.

Instead, I held on tighter and tried to get an answer right away.

-Human marriage?

‘It’s not like that.’

There was no way he would marry me if he asked me to marry him all the time.

What’s more, he was someone who had already rejected me once.

She was the first to casually propose again after being rejected.

‘No matter how clueless I am, this… is real.’

It was different from before.

Before, I proposed because I had a purpose, but now I felt like I was sincere.

So much so that even a country with such a lack of sense can feel it.

The fact that she spoke while blushing showed how embarrassed she was right now.

“You probably know my answer.”

“yes. I know you’ll say no. This is just my heart. “It’s my promise that I won’t lose you even if you say no.”

What kind of resolution can you make that burdens people like this?

Aren’t resolutions originally meant to be made alone?

She now took her hand away from me and stepped back with a relieved look on her face.

“Let’s go back quickly.”

“….”

I nodded.

It felt like I could already see that the future was going to be quite tiring.

After returning to the Count’s house, I had to move immediately to prepare for the banquet.

The maids and butlers did the basic preparations for the banquet, but there were also things I had to do.

“Isn’t this just a matter of sending the drivers?”

“It’s not a bad idea to go and experience it once. Experience for yourself how a banquet is held. Oh, if you’re a princess, you don’t have to worry. “I will be with you.”

I was blocked from making excuses in advance.

It was true that it was safer to be protected by him alone than to be protected by dozens of knights and me.

He had the power to easily block a nuclear bomb with a protective shield.

“What I’m asking you to do won’t be that difficult, so you can just go and watch. “The drivers will take care of it.”

What the Count asked me to do was to clear the forest where we would hold a hunting event with the knights.

Preventing situations in which the children of noble families could become dangerous from the beginning.

I also have self-control, but I didn’t like that they were asking me to do something like that.

What should I do if my class is a gangster?

It was difficult to refuse because I still had to be under him.

It was a long time since I came to the forest behind the city that I headed to, so it felt new.

It came almost a year later.

All sorts of things happened here. He also caught the excited Orc Warrior.

“You can just watch, Master.”

“There will never come a situation where you need to step forward.”

The 10 knights who came with me spoke confidently and walked around the forest in pairs.

The two knights next to me prepared for any possible threat.

‘boring.’

Waiting for the knights to hunt was a very boring series of hours.

It almost made me think about participating in the hunt.

“You don’t have to come forward!”

“Please just watch!”

However, it was difficult to do so due to the knights’ dissuasion.

I could have ignored it, but they were so serious that there was no need to make them feel bad.

“It ends today, right?”

“yes. Fortunately, there are fewer monsters this time. “I think it will be over before noon.”

There are about two hours left until noon, so I think I should do something until then.

‘The drawback is that there is nothing to do here.’

It’s difficult to swing a sword, but it’s also difficult to ask knights to spar with you.

Since I haven’t been able to rest properly lately, I decided to take a good rest for at least 2 hours.

I got off my horse, found some soft ground, and lay down on it.

I spoke to the knights while smelling the grass.

“Wake me up when you’re done. “Until then, if nothing happens, don’t wake me up.”

“All right!”

The knights surrounded me and glared in all directions.

There was no need to be that alert, but it was too bothersome to mention it in detail, so I ignored it.

Hwioo-

A cool wind blew, and through the wind there was the smell of blood.

‘blood?’

The hatchling tapped my head when I sensed something was wrong.

-Human moods are strange. dizzy.

The hatchling stumbled as if drunk.

‘My head hurts.’

Although it wasn’t as bad as hatchling, my head was throbbing as if I had a hangover.

“What are those?”

When I opened my eyes, I was embarrassed to see masked people surrounding me.

I didn’t notice it at all until it got this close.

Even if it was because I was tired, it was surprising that the hatchling didn’t notice until now.

Hatchlings, which have more sensitive senses than me, can even feel the movement of ants passing right next to them, even if they are sleeping.

It cannot be said that there are many people who can move so secretly that a hatchling cannot sense them.

-People are holding something strange. head hurts!

Or maybe they’re holding something to distract the hatchling.

Otherwise, it was understandable that the hatchling had a hard time not noticing it.

-I’m angry! Everything is shining!

‘Have you reached puberty or something?’

I patted the head of the hatchling, who seemed to be going crazy at any moment, to calm him down, and stood up.

“I told you to wake me up if anything happens.”

“I’m sorry. “I thought it would be just us.”

The knights bit their lips and admitted their mistakes.

They were conceited.

I think you can overcome it without my help.

“I’ll explain what happened later…”

As he came to the front of the knights, he heard an unknown name.

“Can you explode the marble so that only the person holding it falls down?”

-possible!

“okay. Then explode when I give the signal.”

-i get it!

Having a hatchling next to you is convenient in times like this.

You can use magic even without a wizard.

He’s so capable that he can’t be compared to any wizard.

“What are you guys doing again? “Do you know where this is?”

“….”

A masked person with a unique appearance among the masked people stared at me.

Unlike other masked people who only wore black, he was wearing a red mask.

Even at a glance, I could see that his rank was the highest.

“How about we get out of there first?”

“….”

“Is he not able to speak, or is he not doing it on purpose?”

He picked up the name and said, scratching his head.

“This is certain. “It makes me feel dirty.”

I didn’t think I was going to lose.

There was a dragon right next to me, and there was no way I could lose unless I was fighting the same dragon.

“You’re not going to say anything, are you? Then let’s go in.”

“…Raymond….”

“What? “You could talk.”

As soon as I could bend my legs, the red mask opened its mouth.

His tongue wasn’t cut out.

What he meant was that if you catch that guy, you can get conclusive evidence.

“It’s you… It’s because of you…”

“What are you saying?”

I could feel the deep murderousness coming from the red masked man.

If it weren’t for you… it was something I heard somewhere.

“If only you… If it weren’t for you…!”

“No, what? Someone said that last time, but do you guys have the same repertoire? “There’s just a script.”

Unless there was a script, the words couldn’t have been the same.

“Princess… Give me Princess Daria.”

“You too?”

What did she do wrong that these guys are even interested in her?

It couldn’t have been a very tiring life.

“I heard that the other day. “You might not know it once, but hearing it again makes me feel like you’re ignoring me.”

“…Kill….”

The red mask gestured to the subordinates behind him.

Chirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm away –

the masked men took out weapons from their arms and ran towards them.

“Give me Daria!”

They all shouted in unison, aiming for my neck.

He raised his head at an angle and shouted at the hatchling.

“now!”

-I get it! Fuuuuuuu! As soon

as the hatchling

spoke, the masked person holding the bead exploded with the bead.

“uh…?”

I didn’t want that.

What I wanted was to explode it just enough to lose my hand, not kill it.

However, the masked person’s entire upper body was torn apart, including his hands.

-Did I do well? I did as I was told!

Yeah, what does that little kid know?

It’s my fault for not explaining it properly.

He raised his hand and swung the cotton, flicking the bridge of the hatchling’s nose.

Ouch –

the neck and head of the masked man, who was not even shaken by the sound of the bomb exploding, were separated.

He walked without stopping and swung the cotton ball.

Okay. Sigh!

There was no need to avoid it.

Their attack seemed infinitely slow to my eyes, which had grown infinitely higher after sparring with the Mercenary King.

Even if I didn’t dodge, I had enough strength to swing Nameless before they attacked.

‘I just need that one guy.’

The red mask that spoke to me.

Since his position seemed to be the highest, there was no need to keep the other masked men alive.

“stop!”

It was time to grab the last one by the neck.

The red mask grabbed the knight from the ground by his hair and glared at me, holding a dagger to his throat.

“If you don’t want this guy to die… throw away your sword.”

He spoke in a slurred tone as if he was giving me an order.

That’s not a bad method. Who wouldn’t be shaken when their colleagues are being threatened?

But unfortunately, he chose the wrong person to threaten.

Crack.

I broke the masked man’s neck and approached him.

“This guy… “Are you planning to kill me?”

“Kill me.”

“…what?”

“Kill me.”

“Crazy guy.”

It doesn’t really matter what happens to the knights.

And above all.

“If only I could…”

Whoa!

“…!”

He raised his eyes when he saw the cotton I had thrown with all my might.

That hesitation turned into poison.

Pooh- Quad Deuk.

Nameless pierced the guy’s shoulder and stuck him in the tree.

“Kaaaaak!”

The guy screamed.

Blood flowed from the eyes of the guy who put his hand on the cotton pinned to his shoulder.

“What…such a sword…!”

I hurriedly ran to see the figure turning into a shriveled mummy.

He forcibly removed his hand from the cotton he was holding onto, pulled the cotton out and put it to one side.

Chuuk –

As soon as the unknown person was pulled out, I raised my hand and grabbed his forehead as his red mask hung limply.

“He’s dead.”

2 The guy died in about 3 seconds.
