Chapter 283 – Day 42 – The Princess Peeks With the Help of Titis
“Is it okay for the branch of the Church of Saints to have a back road like this…”
Princess Venus, who spoke her words in a slightly startled voice, pointed at the small door in front of her.
After restoring Titis ‘magic and having a fun lunch break with her children her, the cellar where the Priest guided you was looking really strange.
“Where there is justice, there is always the Order of Saints. If you follow this path, you will see what the princess wants to see.”
“This is the only way to sneak into the palace. A long time ago, nobles who ruled Britannia used to secretly go out through this way.”
It was Titis who she remembered a long time ago. From her expression her, she could sense her longing her, albeit briefly.
“You must have entered the palace through this road.”
“I can’t guide the princess on a road I don’t know.”
Haha! I won’t ask what kind of noble you had a tryst with.”
The princess was nervous again at the thought of going into the palace and meeting Arthur’s mother, a woman called the warrior.
“Princess, it will be fine.”
Hedone had already finished preparing, and Ceres, who was standing next to him, had nothing to say.
“Okay, let’s move quickly.”
With her smile her, the princess pointed her finger her at her door where Titis was standing.
“Yes, then…”
Titis held the door with the magic circle on it with both hands and opened it to her left and right.
The princess instinctively furrowed her eyebrows as the stairs leading down to the basement where she could not figure out the end came into her eyes her.
“By any chance, Titis… This staircase. Is it connected to the underground water supply of Londonium?”
“Oh my goodness.”
Feigning surprise, Titis covered her mouth and flicked her thumb and forefinger lightly.
“It won’t stink. Don’t worry. Princess Venus.”
* * * * *
“It was an eerie underground waterway, like a rat man would come out of it…”
Seeing the princess sigh in exhaustion, Ceres smiled lightly.
“Princess, not everything that appears in a fairy tale book is true.”
“Aren’t Obama and the warriors all fine? Ha, I don’t think I can sleep alone at night now.”
“Puff…”
Hedone, smiling lightly, climbs her ladder to her ground level with the help of her princess her.
Thanks to Titis’ help, my body didn’t get dirty and I didn’t smell bad, but the bad mood was the same.
The princess took her hand her to her dress her for no reason and pretended to pat her up and down. She grabbed Titis ‘hand her as she finally came up and pulled her up.
“This is… Whoa.”
As soon as he was on the ground, Titis, who was about to explain, felt dizzy for a moment and written greatly.
As soon as the princess saw it, she took her waist and her hand her and hugged her, and she gave a small smile.
“Thank you, Princess.”
“Did you overdo it because of me?”
“Even if your back hurts, it’s not that kind of problem, so don’t worry.”
Titis, who spoke her words her with her gentle smile her, kissed her princess on the forehead once and then fell slightly.
“This is where the ruler of Rondonium, Duke Arthur, lives. It’s also where his mother lives.”
“Hmm, can you think of it as a castle?”
Titis lightly nodded his head.
Titis, who seems to know every nook and cranny of the castle, waves his staff to cover the hole that leads down to the basement, and turns his body his to head for the door.
“Now we are in an underground storage room.”
“So it must have smelled like something clogged up.”
The princess, following Titis and speaking her words, examines the narrow underground passage.
Quite a number of doors were visible, and each had a different-sized room, so the spacing between doors was arbitrary.
“Princess, it seems that there is quite a bit of food stored here.”
“Have you checked by opening the door?”
“Yes, Princess. I haven’t opened all the doors to check, but I can see that you’ve prepared enough to go to war for a long time. If the underground road is like this…”
“I can’t imagine how much food will be used as supplies for a war…”
After answering with a nervous expression, the princess followed Titis for the time being.
A witch who really knew the place didn’t go above ground, but she took the stairs down deeper underground.
She even opened the door by touching the magic circle carved on the wall with her hand her, and she continued to guide.
“Hmm, this should be enough. Princess.”
Titis stops and points the staff in his hand between her himself and her princess her.
“…You weren’t taking me to Arthur, Titis.”
She looked slightly disappointed, but the princess was not angry.
Beneath her own feet her was a huge iron grate.
The room prepared below had a cool view.
“Now, wait a minute…”
“I cast a spell, so you don’t have to worry. Feel free to spy on it.”
“Isn’t it strange to say that I’m stealing…!”
The princess, protesting her mischief her, grabs her iron bars with both her hands and gets down on her knees to look under her her.
“Huh… Really, very typical…”
“It must be a place for an evil secret organization.”
There was a fairly large space under her iron bars.
‘Banquet hall’, in a huge space where such an expression really fits, there were endless tables lined with food.
There were five rows of long tables, and the captains of knights from all over the empire were seated one by one.
“Ceres! Look over there. The woman sitting alone at the end of the table!”
“…It’s Miss Minerva.”
At the place where the princess pointed her finger in surprise, Minerva Lutetia, whose appearance was instantly recognizable even from afar, was sitting.
She seemed to be dressed lavishly in her own way, but that didn’t change the fact that she wore light leather armor.
Conversely, the knights sitting on the other side, far away, were clad in gleaming plate armor, and seemed to have no intention of mixing with Minerva.
‘…Hmm, that’s really strange. Minerva… You don’t seem to have any intention of getting along with the other knight commanders, do you?’
I wasn’t sure, but I had a feeling.
All around her were men sitting several blocks apart.
There was also a table full of female knight commanders, but Minerva wasn’t even looking at it.
‘If you’re staying here, it would be nice to talk about it at least once.’
Minerva was a woman who cut her own things in her precognitive dreams of her, but she did not hate people per se.
“It looks like Duke Arthur is planning to call a number of knights from the empire here and talk nonsense.”
Titis nods her head and taps the grate with his staff her.
“This place is rarely used except for special occasions. You can assume that Duke Arthur’s mother will appear today.”
“Hmm… Thank you. Titis. At least I can tell who is the enemy and who is the friend.”
While the princess spoke with a small smile, the atmosphere in the banquet hall began to change.
It was because Duke Arthur appeared holding the huge altar with both hands.
“I am very glad that you who lead the bravest knights of the Empire have responded to my call. All of you have come a long way and have done a lot of work.”
Arthur, who spoke in a calm voice, could hardly be seen as a lunatic trying to start a civil war at all costs.
Rather, it was to the point of being calm.
The mere fact that he appeared and opened his mouth caused the knight commanders gathered in the banquet hall to applaud loudly.
“It’s not a lie that he’s popular with the knights. I felt it at the last Imperial Council.”
“Duke Arthur always participates in the council in the name of the Duchy of Britannia, but what he always talks about is improving the treatment of knights.”
The princess sighs and looks at Minerva.
The Crimson Rose Knights, led by Minerva, were so huge and outstanding that they were originally called the imperial shield.
But that was a long time ago. The story before Minerva was born, before the princess was even born.
Now, they have become a fallen knights who are just doing the pastime of guarding the imperial palace.
The fall of the Knights of the Blood Rose was inevitable, and no one points a finger at Minerva because there was no dishonor.
‘Even so… How much do you want in your heart…’
It is natural for a person to have dreams and ambitions.
There is a reason why Minerva in her precognitive dream she behaves happily after receiving the emperor’s orders.
The princess, who was well aware of the situation, looked down at the banquet hall once again, feeling sorry for her.
“Britannia is going to war with the Principality of Ekati. As you know, this war will be a huge civil war, and it has already turned into a confrontation between the old nobles and the new nobles. But don’t worry.”
Arthur continues his speech, holding his altar with both hands.
“Justice lies with us, so this war started from the very beginning to punish Arisa Ekati for uttering absurd words to cover up the princess’s crimes. Even more so, those called old nobles cannot fight against us and win.”
At his words his, many knights commanders nodded.
“Who are we? We are knights. What are knights? They were the spears, swords and shields of the nobles. Those nobles who called themselves old nobles and fulfilled their dirty desires would not be able to do soldiers anything without us. They are .Do you even know how to command troops and wage war!”
The knight commanders laughed happily and started clapping.
“Justice is upon us!!”
Arthur shouted and gestured to Diana, who had been standing behind until now, with her head bowed down, wearing a red dress, to come forward.
“…”
Even as Diana puts on her indescribably troubled expression, she steps out to Arthur’s side.
“I…”
“Everyone, Diana Redblood was humiliated by the princess Venus. Where the hell is the justice of the empire going? Wouldn’t that be because of it?”
Arthur speaks and shouts.
Diana was never given a chance to speak, only to keep her face down.
As a new aristocrat, having attended her princess’s birthday party, she was well aware of how absurd it was to say that only old nobles were around her princess her.
But I was never given a chance to tell the story.
“Arthur…”
Arthur, who incessantly spews stories that captivate people’s hearts, smiles one last time and lifts the golden cup from the altar.
“In an empire where justice has disappeared! Let’s establish justice once again! The Duchy of Britannia becomes a great Knights nation! We’ll give you a chance to realize your justice!”
“Long live Britannia!”
“Okay! Yes! Long live Britannia! Old nobles! They must be children who don’t even know how to fight!”
All the knight commanders stood up and shouted loudly, and Minerva, who was sitting in a corner, sighed and left the banquet hall.
Many people saw her like that, but since Minerva wasn’t someone who would be of great help to her from the start, they didn’t even look at her properly.
She would rather just bring her hand to the well-prepared food in front of her eyes.
Not as much as Minerva, but since she hadn’t had any wars except those of conquest to claim the lands to the south, the Empire’s knights were mostly quite poor.
“…The number of knights… There are over 50 people sitting…”
It was difficult for the princess to imagine how many knights they had and how many soldiers those knights would have.
What if you ignorantly start a war using these knights gathered in Britannia?
What if the new nobility’s territory was told to be protected by the new nobility, and the huge waves of knights gathered here burned and plundered all the old nobility’s territory in front of them?
‘This is how most of the empire will die, not half…’
The enemies of humans, the demons, are still living well deep underground, but it’s such a war between humans….
The princess wanted to open her iron bars right away and get down to stop her madness her.
“Everyone!”
Diana also had that kind of heart.
Not wanting to start a war in which tens of thousands of people died, she held her altar with both hands and looked at her Arthur for a moment before opening her mouth.
“You should know… Yup…!”
But I can’t tell
Diana fell from her altar, feeling a tightness in her throat her, dragging her her body her behind her like a puppy on a leash around her neck her.
“Will you use it if the knights are eating and making noise. Diana.”
“Eup…Ugh…”
She spoke in a noble voice, and what appeared was a woman wearing a red dress.
Her dress her clung to her body her, revealing all the lines of her body her, but she quietly stepped forward, as if she did n’t feel the slightest bit of shame.
“Mother.”
“Arthur, you did well as you were told. Yes. How nice it would be if Diana listened well like our Arthur.”
The woman said and beckoned her attendants standing behind her to take her Diana somewhere with her.
“Could that woman…”
Even compared to Agrippa, she is a woman with a young and beautiful face.
The tall beauty, taller than Arthur, with her fantastic figure of her, had red hair that reached down to her toes of her.
“I hope everyone has a delicious meal. Arthur, prepare for war within three days.”
“Yes, as mother wants.”
Arthur’s mother, stroking her son’s head her with her nine rings shining beautifully, turns her body her slightly, then turns her head away with a glance.
“Tee, Titis!”
The woman clearly looked at the ceiling and the place where the iron bars were, and the princess felt a terrifying chill that twisted her five organs.
“Looks like they noticed us…! Damn it! It’s too late!”
Before she could finish her words, she felt the heat filling the narrow aisle, and the princess hugged Ceres and Hedone’s waists after seeing a chunk of burning rock rolling towards them from afar.
“Let’s run away first!”
The princess screamed and fell from the iron bars, and the woman who had given her eyes to her turned her head away.
“Mother, what’s wrong?”
“Maybe because it hasn’t been cleaned for a long time, rats have entered the castle.”
The woman said so and disappeared into her shadow without giving her son a warm glance.
