Chapter 305 – Failure
Dahlia walked out with her black hair neatly tied back.
She was unusually wearing hand gloves.
Her hair color is black, so she has the feeling of an oriental elf.
Looking at her, she had enough magic not to worry about winning or losing.
(Dahlia is at the level of Auror Expert and knows how to deal with spirits.)
Ayla, who was by her side, kindly whispered information about Dahlia to me.
It’s a spirit…
Henry’s chances of winning were even lower.
“Wonder?”
“…”
Henri questioned Dahlia’s figure wearing her gauntlets, but she stood quietly in front of him without changing her expression.
And she said simply.
“Come on.”
“…I’ll go.”
A green aura rises from each other’s swords and gauntlets.
– Chae Chae-chaeng.
Henri’s sword collided with Dahlia’s gauntlets and sparks flew.
A battle going back and forth quickly between the two.
Unlike the previous two, which were lame, a plausible confrontation took place now.
As for the aspect of the duel, Dahlia tried to close the distance like a guru, and Henry tried to widen the distance.
“Oh oh…”
The little princess was also watching the battle between the two with excitement.
Dahlia seemed to have no intention of using spirits.
However, Henry was somehow clumsy in his response, and Dahlia was skillful.
As a result, the momentum quickly leaned toward Dahlia.
It was an expected result.
Even at similar levels, there is clearly a gap in skill.
Roughly speaking, it is similar to a clear division of superiority and inferiority in the same weight class.
Besides, the Kwon is rare.
Has Henry ever dealt with a guru?
It was highly likely that there was none.
It can be said that Henry chose the wrong opponent for her.
At least, to increase the odds, he had to choose a familiar swordsman.
Well… In this short time, she wouldn’t have been able to figure out that she was a guru. I knew she was a guru when I saw her come out to duel.
On the other hand, Henry is a common prosecutor.
Dahlia must have faced many more swordsmen than Henry.
Besides, she doesn’t know how old she is, but maybe she’s a lot older than Henri?
That means the difference in experience is also significant.
In the end, Henry allowed Dahlia access.
Dahlia’s fist, which penetrated into Henry’s body, moved like lightning and struck him.
-Pupperpung!
A dull drumming sound was heard from Henry’s torso, and his body shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
“Big!!”
Henry finally moaned in pain.
Dahlia kicked Henry’s legs with skillful taijutsu and knocked him off balance.
Henri fell back.
And Dahlia’s fist stopped right in front of Henry’s nose.
Gauntlets shimmering with aura.
If it had stuck to his face, Henry’s head would have exploded.
“…Lost…”
Henry admitted defeat with a look of resentment.
Dahlia let go of his fist and lazily returned to her seat. She subdued Henri lightly without using her spirits.
That means she didn’t even use half of her power.
The duel event ended with the defeat of all three.
A rebellion aimed at an opportunity to rise in status was suppressed.
I gathered the 3 traitors who failed in the rebellion.
They bowed their heads in front of me.
“I gave you a chance and you all failed. Is there anything more to say?”
“…Doesn’t exist.”
Henry lowered his head and replied.
“I’m disappointed in you guys. To think that people with no abilities want to be treated the same as others without falling in line…”
“Sorry, sorry!!”
Albert and Charles bowed their heads.
“To hear such a full stomach sound, I judged that your hungry spirit was lacking.”
The Type A tent they pitched disappeared into my inventory.
“Since you complained about how cramped it is, I’m going to pull up the tent. From now on, you’re going to sleep outside in a wide area. This way, your complaints about being too small will disappear.”
Charles and Albert’s resentful gaze turned to Henri, the culprit behind everything.
The trio hung their shoulders and left to prepare a new bed.
“Can’t we just give them one more tent? They’re also knights. They’re the only ones sleeping outside… Isn’t it a little too much?”
Cristina sees them and shows awkward sympathy.
“Hmm… If you say so…”
“Are you finally following my advice, my fiancé?”
Christina’s face brightened.
“…If you give them your tent, I won’t say much about it. How is it?”
“So, what about me?”
“Of course we should sleep outside instead of them.”
“…Coming to think of it, I think the guys did something wrong. It’s disgusting, Unho… To express dissatisfaction without knowing your grace. Hmmm… I-I’ll go in and rest for a while, so call me when the meal is ready.”
The little boy turned away from Albert and his company without the slightest hesitation.
And she hurried into the tent, fearing that her nest would be taken away.

Dinner was a duck baeksuk party.
Everyone ate the rich mushrooms and vegetables, and the duck stewed in a large hot pot.
The soft boiled duck meat was tender and tasty even the breast meat.
Of course, it wasn’t cooked here.
It was just boiling what had been packaged at the Earth Duck Baeksuk restaurant.
It was the health food I chose because I was planning on sending the elves away tomorrow.
Of course, the raid members who were suffering from the dispatch were also sent using the inventory function.
Albert and his party just watched our hearty meal from a distance, swallowing only water.
“Isn’t it too much not to give food?”
Christina must have felt sorry for the trio of handymen.
“Don’t worry. I gave them their meals.”
Their meals were replaced by Liliana’s pills.
I had no intention of doing it this far…
It’s something they brought on themselves.
Originally, I was thinking of having a normal diet.
However.
Unfortunately, they rebelled.
A rebellion is a revolution if it succeeds, but what if it fails?
Become rebellious
High risk, high return.
And it can be said that they are paying the price because they failed in the rebellion.
“It’s a pity that you can’t eat something this delicious. How about letting them taste it a little?”
“Christina. I won’t say much if you bring me food for you to eat.”
“…”
At my words, the gluttonous little princess shut her mouth and quietly started stuffing the duck meat into her mouth.

After dinner, people went into their tents.
Taking advantage of the silence, Eileen secretly called Albert.
“Eileen, what’s going on?”
Seeing Aileen look much prettier these days, Albert asked her, feeling her excitement.
Eileen carefully held out her oil-paper-wrapped envelope to Albert.
“Eh, Eileen. What is this?”
Feeling sorry for Albert and Charles drinking water in the corner, she secretly wrapped the remaining duck meat.
“Are you hungry? I’ve got it secretly. Share it with Uncle Charles.”
“Oh, are you okay?”
It was against his master’s order, so Albert drove with concern.
“Yeah, because it’s fine.”
“Thank you.”
“Then I’ll go.”
Eileen quickly disappeared into the campsite.
Albert was troubled.
If you carry this envelope like this, Henri will have to eat it too.
…The warm feeling of heaviness in my hand didn’t feel like enough for three to eat.
‘Eileen also said to eat with brother Charles… She didn’t talk about Henry.’
It may be a mean thought.
Albert is a human too.
Henri felt a bit resentful for getting involved in an unwanted situation.
If so, you should call Charles here.
Albert tried to call Charles at first.
However, the sweet smell of duck meat rising from the envelope was no joke.
“Joe, just a little taste…”
-Huruloop…
At some point, Albert’s hands were left with only glistening oil and a bare skin.
“Ugh… Tea, I told you to share it with Charles-hyung…”
Albert seemed to have stopped filming for a moment.
To taste.
Reason flew away from the tender meat I hadn’t tasted in a long time and I ate it all.
Guilt welled up.
Albert looked around.
Fortunately, no one was there.
‘Eileen isn’t one to condescend to this… She’s here, she’s got bones and an envelope, and if she goes back nobody will know.’
Sorry to Charles, but Albert decided to hide the fact that he ate duck meat.
It was then.
-Brush…
Albert looked back in surprise at the sudden appearance.
There Charles appeared.
“Tongue, brother?!”
“Hmm? It’s Albert.”
“Tongue, brother, what happened…”
“Me?
“Yes? Yes, yes…That, that’s it…”
Albert evaded hastily.
My heart skipped a beat, afraid that someone would find out that I ate the duck meat alone.
“Yeah…Um?”
Awkward Albert’s look.
Charles, who tried to ignore it, felt the savory smell of oil tickling his nostrils.
I was able to smell it better because I was hungry and my sense of smell had become sensitive.
“What smell is this…”
“What are you talking about. Brother… Ah, you don’t smell anything?”
Albert’s eyes trembled.
It was only then that Charles caught sight of Albert’s greasy lips.
Even in a dark place, it was the lips that sparkled conspicuously. And Albert’s trembling eyes and bones sticking out at his feet… Oil bags…
Where did the usual dull Charles go…
He demonstrated amazing reasoning based on the information he collected in that short instant.
And a sense of betrayal welled up in Charles’ eyes as he inferred the whole situation.
“Hey, Albert you…”
“I’m sorry!! Brother!! I ate all the duck meat that Eileen told me to share with my brother!!”
Unable to bear the guilt in Charles’ eyes, Albert eventually confessed the truth first.
Charles, who was speechless with a tremendous sense of betrayal, only looked at Albert with dejected eyes.
-Kurrureuk!!
Charles’ loud horns echoed through the woods.
At the sound of the boat horn, Albert’s head lowered even more.
