92. New Employee Radea
After shackling Baron Roark in the forest infested with demonic beasts, we prepared to return to the duchy.
“Laia, if you have anything to pack, pack everything.”
“Where are we going, sister?”
“I’ll tell you later, so listen now.”
Ladea said and packed her bags. That’s right, most of the things, including clothes, were worn out and had to be thrown away.
“Throw away everything except keepsakes or valuables.”
“Yes?”
“We will provide everything you need for life.”
When Radea heard what I said, she pursed her lips and put down her luggage with a bitter look in her eyes. He took only a few simple items.
“Laia, have you packed everything?”
“Yes.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
At first, there was a lot of stuff in the bag, but now it’s so empty that I didn’t pack anything.
“Did you pack everything without forgetting anything?”
In response to my question, Radea fiddled with the pendant and old wristwatch.
“… Yes. No.”
That seems to be a keepsake.
“Then let’s go.”
Sisters Radea and Laia came out almost broke. I took them with me to where the Duke Descartes’ carriage was.
Ladea’s eyes widened.
“… Even the carriage is gorgeous.”
“That’s right.”
When I opened the door, Laia hurried in.
“Sister! The carriage is really soft! “It’s a different class from the upper carriage!”
“No matter how exciting and amazing it is, you have to be polite.”
After saying that, Lathea also climbed into the carriage and sat down. Seeing the corners of her mouth twitch, it seemed like she liked her chair.
“Anyway, let’s leave now.”
I also got into the carriage and gave the driver the signal to start. Shake! The wheels are rolling.
“How long does it take to get to the duchy from here?”
“It will take more than three days.”
“It takes quite a long time. Do you take a break in between?”
“Okay. “The coachman needs to rest too.”
As she rested her chin and looked out the window, Radea asked a barrage of questions.
“But what is France Corporation?”
“Our top name.”
“… “Why is the name at the top like that?”
La Dea stares at me with her face frowning. No, what about France Corporation? Everyone reacts like this.
“Well, that’s okay. “I have no right to be involved in the names at the top.”
Laia tilted her head.
“Why? “France Corporation is cool!”
“Right? “You think so too, right?”
Perhaps because it was her first time receiving a compliment, the words flowed out without her realizing it.
“Yes! “It looks like there’s something there!”
“Wow, Laia… !”
From now on, the person I am closest to will be you, Laia.
“Laia? Stop saying weird things. It’s going to take a long time to move, so sleep first. “I’ll make her a knee pillow.”
Radea patted her knees and laid her Laia down on her knees. He then stroked her head and put her to sleep. It’s not a skill she’s done once or twice.
“Now tell me what I should do. “You said you came here because of your sword skills, so it’s not normal, right?”
Is that why you put her sister to sleep? It’s better not to worry about unnecessary things.
“To be exact, it is Princess Descartes’s escort.”
“Escort?”
“Yes.”
“What are the duke’s knights doing?”
They are not trustworthy. More than anything, I hate France.
“The princess’s escort is carried out by a small number of elite personnel. “He doesn’t like taking a lot of knights with him.”
Radea shook her head, saying, “That happens.”
“And there are many people out there targeting the princess.”
“Are you targeting Princess Descartes? Why?”
“Unfortunately, we are still trying to find out.”
I know that Somire is behind it. But she needs to know who moves on her behalf. Because he will be the biggest variable.
‘You said you left traces on purpose.’
Don’t get caught while using magic against Assassin. He is by no means an ordinary wizard.
“So you were looking for talented people.”
“Okay. “After what happened last time, I knew I was short-handed.”
Even with me, Kale, Kajar, and Seldas joining in, France almost died.
It is said that there was a variable that prevented the use of magic, but if there were even Kayle and Seldas and that was the result…….
‘Besides, I won’t be there in half a year.’
Kale is not enough. I need to fill more of my empty space.
“Are you and me the only escorts?”
“No, there is one more person.”
“What does that person do?”
“The mercenary king, the man called White Ghost.”
Radea tilted her head.
“Mercenary King? White ghost? “This name is cool, but I don’t know who it is.”
Oh, there are people who don’t know kale. Well, you wouldn’t know it since it’s Baron Roark at the tip of the north.
“He will be your senior, so remember him well.”
“Senior… ? Yes.”
Ladea asked, “But you know what it is?”
“You and that white ghost? “If you have that person, do you need me too?”
That’s a good question. Actually, this is why I came to get you.
“I will leave in half a year.”
“Yes?”
“I’m leaving the Duke’s residence in half a year.”
I leave at the same time as the completion of the Magic Tower and the development of the Magic Stone progress.
The foundation for the business has already been laid, and France’s education has also been completed. There are Kajar and Viscount Elvan to assist, and Cale to deal with the main culprit.
Seldas will resolve the information, and France’s escort will be handled by Radea.
“Is there a reason?”
“It’s a matter directly related to life.”
“… “Is it execution day?”
You might think so.
“Unfortunately, it was wrong.”
“Then what is it?”
“Even if I tell you, you won’t know, so I just assume it is like that.”
Radea said, “What is it, curiously?” And turned her head.
“Oh, by the way, you should never tell this to the princess.”
“Was it a secret? That’s strange. The person who serves the princess…….”
“I found out later anyway. “Everyone except the princess already knows.”
I already know about Kazar, and I told you about Kale. Seldas and Viscount Elvan haven’t spoken yet, but it won’t matter since they’ll gather them all in one place and tell them before they leave.
“By the way, the reason I’m taking you here includes escorting, but to be clear, it’s to fill my empty spot.”
Sword Emperor Radea. When his talent blooms, he will become one of the strongest players on the continent. With Kale, I can fully fill my empty space.
“I feel a little burdened about Gene Barenberg’s vacancy.”
Radea scratched the back of her head and smiled awkwardly.
“Don’t worry, you can do it. “Because I knew everything and came to you.”
I laughed and looked out the window.
6 Months.
Now there really isn’t much time left before I break up with her.
* * *
Four days later. La Dea, along with her sister Laia, arrived in the Descartes Duchy.
It is said that she left her sister in the workshop for a while and went to the Duke’s residence, but France was away.
‘I guess he’s at Khazar’s house.’
I had to introduce her to France anyway, and I also had to decide on her accommodation, so I took Sister La Dea with me and headed to Kazar’s house.
“Khazar, it is me.”
Seeing as the door opened as soon as I knocked on it, it looks like my health has returned.
When I walked inside, I saw only France and Helena, wearing glasses like Kazar’s microscope.
“It took quite a long time.”
“Yes. “I’ve been to quite a distance.”
France glanced at me, then looked at her surroundings and her eyes widened.
“Who are those women around you?” ?”
“Ah, let me introduce you now.”
I introduced Radea and Laia to France. Radea and her younger sister, Laia, who will serve as close escorts from now on.
“I see. “I thought you did something strange again.”
What is this strange thing?
“But… ….”
France looked at La Dea and knocked on her table with an uncomfortable look on her face. Radea, who was very nervous at this, quietly asked me.
“Could I have done something wrong to the princess?”
“No, I don’t have one. “You just saw it in the first place.”
“You keep looking at me… ….”
That’s right. Why are you like that?
“Jin, please sit in the front for now. Oh, and you guys go upstairs and pack your bags. “The house here is very large and has many rooms, so you can choose where you want.”
Ladea and Laia bowed their heads and said, “Yes, I understand.” And then went upstairs.
“Jin? “Sit down quickly.”
“Oh, yes…” ….”
What is it? The atmosphere is unusual.
“It’s good that we brought in a new escort. However… ….”
France sighed, sighing as she spoke.
“The children you brought are so beautiful. “Just put on a dress and you’ll be the star of the party.”
Hmm?
Something out of the blue…….
“If this continues, I guess I’ll have to go into education again.”
“… What kind of education are you talking about?”
Helena, who was listening to our conversation, screamed! She hiccuped and became very nervous.
“… ?”
Why is he acting like that all of a sudden?
“There is no need to know that. “Please report in detail what happened so far.”
“Yes, I understand. Then… ….”
I briefly condensed what happened in Baron Roarke and reported only the key points.
“Nothing happened other than killing Baron Roarke.”
Isn’t it a big deal to kill the Baron…? ?
“Well, it’ll be okay since I didn’t kill him directly. “I heard you gave it to a demonic beast?”
“That’s right. Moreover, they were smuggling drugs out of Reyaka country.”
France slowly lowered his head.
“Yes, that would be no problem.”
Franche, who was quietly reading the magic book, said, “Ah!” He continued.
“Now that I think about it, he said he was going to the Sahara. Can he not be late for the wedding of the saint and the crown prince?”
“Yes. “Excluding travel time, we can put it together in one day.”
From Noble mtl dot com
If you ride a horse and travel as fast as possible, it takes two weeks for a round trip to the Sahara.
“Fortnight will be enough to resolve the issue and come back.”
“Okay, be careful and come on time.”
“I know.”
France looked at me, smiled and nodded her head. I deliberately looked down.
“I don’t make eye contact much these days. “Are you hiding something?”
I got caught. Was it too obvious?
“No. “It’s because I’m too embarrassed to look into the princess’s eyes.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? “Are you doing work for me?”
No, I thought they would just laugh it off, but I never thought there would be such a reaction. I was so embarrassed that I waved my hands around without realizing it.
“No, how could I…” ….”
“Really? “It’s a shame.”
Are you sad?
I don’t know how this princess feels.
‘Still, I’m glad you’ve regained your strength.’
Until before, I felt down and had no energy, but I have recovered a lot. It doesn’t seem like subjectivity has disappeared.
‘In the beginning, everything is learned through experience.’
It’s okay if you don’t do it next time.
“Okay. You’ve worked hard, so get some rest. Helena? “Please pour some honey tea for Jin too.”
After Helena nodded her head, she carefully approached me and poured me a glass of honey.
“Ah, Helena. Come to think of it… ….”
“Hey… !”
“… ?”
Helena is startled. No, this will hurt me. Looking in front of her, France was smiling with satisfaction.
‘I think there was something between you two?’
Even though I tried to catch her and ask her, she ran away and I couldn’t figure out what was going on.
“Just rest comfortably for now. “After three days, I have to go back to the duke’s residence and proceed with business.”
I was dumbfounded, but I got her to nod, “Yes.”
After the short conversation, France puts on microscope-like glasses and concentrates on the magic book. Looking from the side, I saw a book written in rune.
“Princess, what about that magic book?”
“Ah, this was on Kazar’s bookshelf. “I’m reading it to study rune.”
Hmm?
If it was on Kazar’s bookshelf…….
‘No way?’
Is this the ancient magic book I brought?
“Princess, how far have you deciphered it?”
“Huh? “It’s still early days.”
“Let’s stop. “This is a dangerous book.”
“What? “I don’t think it’s a particularly dangerous book.”
No, I am a dangerous book.
Kazar said there was soul binding magic there.
‘I have to get that book somehow.’
