Chapter 245 – Talion Is Sorrowful
“Aaron? You mean he’s alive!”
“Prince? Why is his name his now…?”
Duke Cablowjob and the Pope, who were unaware of the immediate situation, looked at my face with puzzled expressions.
I began to explain what I had learned so far for them, and most were surprised to hear that the scarred woman in the war was a mercenary empress.
“Shh! So now we focus on finding Aaron, right?”
I put my index finger to my lips and said that to the people in the room.
Of course, Marian’s near-perfect spirit-pursuit technique wouldn’t be affected by the noise around her, but it was true that I was nervous too.
“I am moving into an alley. Obviously, that road…?”
Marian also closed her eyes and focused on the movement of Nebula, knowing that this was a very important time.
Marian began relaying her movements in real time, as if she had clairvoyance.
“Now, wait a minute. Oh, this is weird… Kyaaak!!”
That moment when everyone’s eyes were focused.
Suddenly, Marianne started to fall to the floor, screaming at her.
Surprised, I quickly grabbed Marianne, and soon the Pope ran to my side and began to examine her condition.
“Are you okay?”
“For now, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong.”
The pope, who was examining her Marian, replied to my question as if he was urging, but he didn’t look very confident either.
If there is no problem, there will be no reason for Marian to suddenly collapse.
‘What?’
I laid the suddenly collapsed Marianne on her bed, frowning at her.
I’ve asked her to do similar things quite a few times now, but this was the first time I’d knocked her out like this.
“… Shall we unleash her soldiers and pursue her now?”
Genoa said that with a frustrated expression, but I shook her head.
The chances of finding Nebula would be significantly low if we pursued it anyway, and it would only stimulate her awareness of her.
“Ugh…”
And at that moment when her party fell silent, Marian, who had lost consciousness for a moment, regained her consciousness.
She was frowning, holding her forehead as if her hair was pounding.
“Marian, what happened?”
“I don’t know. Except that all of a sudden, some energy pushed me away.”
I frowned at Marian’s words of her with a serious expression on her face.
Marianne also did n’t seem to know exactly what happened, her problem was that the force did n’t seem to be very favorable to us.
And in other words, it was as if Aaron might have found some helper I didn’t know about.
‘Who is it?’
However, no matter how hard he thought about it, there was no one who could help Aaron at this point.
It was a problem that could have been taken lightly, but I couldn’t help but feel uneasy at the thought that there might be something I didn’t know.
“The next time we see her, shall we pursue her again?”
Marian said that to me with her restless face her as if she had done something wrong, and I shook my head at her question her.
It would have been foolish to continue sticking to a method that failed once anyway.
“Let’s watch for a while.”
I lightly grabbed Marian’s shoulder and put an end to the situation for now.
**
‘Is there an existence of Marian that is enough to notice her soul her, or at least to the extent that she can’t approach it?’
Although I had gotten out of the princess’ bed, my head was only complicated by the appearance of an unexpected variable.
Anyway, the people who were going home with me were only paying attention to see if they had read my intentions.
The moment I was so lost in thought, escaping from the imperial castle.
“Hee hee hee hee!”
I was able to spot Talion running straight towards me with an unexpected gurgling sound.
“Talion seems to be welcoming you, too.”
Genoa, who found Talion a little faster than me, shouted that, but the momentum he radiated was of a completely different kind from delight.
Drooling, he came running at full speed, and when I came within range, he lowered his head and began aiming his horn at me.
‘This crazy horse foal?’
I reached out for Talion, who lunged at me with a bewildered expression.
No matter how much he is a legendary beast, he is at best an animal.
I quickly grabbed Talion by the scruff of his neck his, and used the power of his running his to shove it forward.
Thud!
As the heavy weight of Talion fell to the floor from its back his, a tremendous roar rang out.
For a moment, I wondered if I had been too harsh, but I thought that beings the size of unicorns wouldn’t die so easily.
‘If it doesn’t work out, I’ll ask Marian to use healing magic, well.’
“Puhing!”
Falling to the floor, Talion trembled with his legs held high.
I wondered if he was seriously injured, so I looked at him closely and luckily, it didn’t seem like that.
Embarrassingly, Talion was weeping with his legs pointed to the sky.
It was strange that a horse, or rather a unicorn, was crying, but it was definitely tears flowing from his eyes.
‘What? Why?’
I looked at Talion, frowning at his incomprehensible behavior.
However, he was sprawled on the floor, apparently not even intending to get up, and only continued to shed tears.
“Could it be because of Mary?”
At the unexpected words, Talion jumped to his feet.
He looked at me with eyes as if he were glaring at an enemy, and began grinding his teeth.
After she returned to the ecliptic, she said that Merry took care of her from time to time, and she seemed to realize that she had lost her virginity since last night.
“Crazy horse foal.”
There really wasn’t anything else that came to mind.
Even if the unicorn revealed her virginity to her, this was definitely crossing the line.
“Take it, Talion.”
I was not the only one surprised by Talion’s sudden action of his.
What surprised me the most was Genoa, the original owner of Talion.
She was surprised by the strange behavior of her favorite horse, Talion, and Talion easily avoided her touch her.
‘Ha, it hits the goal. Really.’
I frowned at Talion with a puzzled expression.
The desire to correct her habit was like a chimney, but this time it was because he seemed to be distracted by a moderate beating.
In the meantime, what caught my eye was Balkan.
Balkan was laughing while holding on to his stomach as if he found Talion’s behavior amusing.
Belatedly feeling my gaze, Balkan forcibly suppressed a smile and spoke to me.
“Don’t get me wrong. It’s just that it’s funny.”
“What is so funny?”
I asked Balkan in a slightly sharper voice.
Perhaps stung by my reaction, Bar Khan shook his hand with a bewildered face and began to explain his explanation.
“On my way here from the desert, I knew that horse was an odd one. The subject of an animal raised by human hands is covering the person who dares to burn it.”
Balkan’s words made me realize that he didn’t know that Talion was a unicorn.
No, since he was a human full of muscles, even his brain his, there was a good chance that even if he heard that he was a unicorn, he would think that it was just a kind of horse.
The desert tribes were nomadic, so their treatment of livestock was a bit peculiar.
Compared to the people of the empire, they regarded livestock as family, but there was a certain line.
Livestock was the most important asset to them, and things like meat and hides from there were important to survival.
That’s why it was said that there was never anything that pampered animals like Genoa.
“I thought I’d pick up a habit because it’s disgusting, but why don’t you listen to me even if I die?”
“Okay?”
“Strangely enough, it seemed like he listened to my sister very well.”
“Oh, you mean that?”
I started to laugh strangely at Balkan’s continued words of his.
Come to think of it, he remembered that Talion was with Barasia on the way from the desert to the imperial capital.
It also reminded me that not only Barasia, but also Ena was part of the party.
The moment our eyes met, Talion’s big eyes shook.
I looked at the guy who was doing the tourejil and sneakily looked at Barasia standing behind Balkan.
Sensing that I was looking at Barasia, Talion naturally moved her body her and began to block her path her.
As if to protect her.
‘If I can’t come to my senses due to physical pain, I have no choice but to inflict mental pain.’
“Pu-hee-hee-hee!”
When I let out a strange laugh at Talion, he began to weep bitterly with eyes that looked like they would burst into tears again.
