46. Oracle (3)
For Casiella, the leader of the , Everything in the 1st Princess Palace was new.
And what surprised me the most was that everyone became friendly when the name ‘Yuma’ was mentioned.
There were almost no magic spells… !
After combining the identity guarantee with the seal of the Marquis of Tornel, the guardian of the southern front of the empire, and the statement that it had come by Yuma’s order, all the doors to the princess’s palace were opened.
All the knights were polite to him, who was far from a nobleman or a knight at first glance.
“Please go in.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Casiella nodded her head vaguely and walked into the interior of the First Princess’ palace. She was wearing black armor.
Jeobbuk Jeopuk-
I stopped in front of the office of the 1st princess’s palace.
Michael, the princess’s direct guard wearing thin white armor that contrasted with Casiella’s, opened the door.
Even at first glance, an unusual appearance came out of his body.
The emperor’s lineage.
From the beginning, there was a unique spirit radiated by those who were noble.
Casiella quickly bent her right knee.
“Meeting with the 1st Princess Brigitte.”
Thump-
“I am Casiella, leader of the Dawn Revolutionary Group.”
1 Princess Brigitte gazed at the red-haired leader of the revolutionary corps, Casiella, posing before her.
“Wake up, Casiella. I heard the story from Marquis Tornel.”
Cassiela led the And arrived at the princess’s palace in the capital to assist her 1st princess Brigitte under Yuma’s orders.
“You came to help me at Yuma’s request?”
Caciella felt the supremacy in Brigitte’s words. She has the same kind of stubbornness as Yuma.
“Yes, that’s right.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Welcome. My knight has called, so he must be a useful knight.”
Brigitte trusted her own eyes to recognize her presence called Yuma. She also trusted Yuma’s insight, so she did not have any doubts about Cassiela.
“Pledge of loyalty…”
Brigitte tilted her head at Casiella’s words.
“Revolution leader, Casiella. Isn’t your loyalty towards Yuma?”
Casiella opened her eyes wide at Princess Brigitte’s very direct words.
As Casiella remained silent and could not say anything, Brigitte smiled and continued.
“Then, you have to swear loyalty to Yuma. Why do you want me to do this? You just have to do what Yuma tells you to do.”
Brigitte had no intention of accepting false loyalty from anyone.
Because she knew very well how useless it was.
“I understand. Your Majesty the Princess.”
For some reason, Casiella and Brigitte looked similar to Yuma. She might have been because of her ultramarine blue eyes, which looked strangely similar.
“Let’s put off the oath of knighthood for a while. When Yuma returns, he will bestow the title of Grand Duke upon his return. It would be better to receive it in person. Oh, of course, I will inform the entire imperial family. The treatment of the Is first. “Make it the same as the Knights. Just get the official rank later.”
The knights belonging to the 1st Imperial Order of Knights could not treat even nobles with the rank of count.
“Thank you, Princess.”
Once the business talk was over, Brigitte’s face relaxed a little.
“Rather than that, I’d like to hear the story of when Yuma fought on the southern front.”
The solemnity that existed just now slowly faded away. Brigitte’s face looked like a child just before hearing a fairy tale.
So Casiella was able to recite Yuma’s saga with peace of mind.
Every time the story was told word by word, Brigitte exclaimed in admiration.
***
After leaving the Land of Midnight Sun and immediately leaving Gelfiel Forest, Yuma and his party were heading to none other than the royal palace of Paineton.
It was a bit strange that the person who killed Kamet, the greatest conquering king of Pyneton, would voluntarily enter the palace, but there was a need to clearly state the existence of the
White Night Clan.
I acquired subordinates called the Byakuya clan.
So, as a captain, he had a duty and responsibility to take action in advance to prevent his subordinates from falling into unnecessary disputes.
The royal palace was not far away.
This is because it was not an official royal palace located in the capital of the kingdom, but a ‘temporary royal palace’ created right here, near the front line.
Why was a temporary kingdom created in a village right in front of the front line?
Martes.
This was because he took charge of the negotiations and was crowned the new king of the barbarian nation of Paineton.
When Yuma stopped by the information guild and asked about Martes’ current location, he was quite surprised. Now he hears that he is not a great warrior, but a king.
‘That guy has succeeded.’
A third of the 10 warriors died. Even though the legions under their command were annihilated, the barbarian nation of Pyneton was still a powerful nation.
Even if a tiger loses its teeth, it still remains a tiger.
The tiger only became a very docile cat in the Yuma and Astes Empires.
Growling… !
A very primal sound came from somewhere.
The culprit was a sound that came from the stomach of Hestia, a Miao swordsman who was wearing a robe to protect herself from all the attention.
“Hey, hehehe…!”
Hestia’s face turned bright red, as if she knew she had been betrayed.
It’s been a while since lunch time.
The temporary royal palace was two blocks away.
Anyway, I had plenty of time today because I was planning on spending the day here at Langerth after meeting Martes face-to-face.
“What kind of smell is there this time?”
This was a question I asked Hestia when she smelled risotto near here last time.
“Yes, I’m in charge! Sniff!”
I was just saying this. Hestia seems to have already turned on her food radar.
“Wow, it smells like curry…! Huuum!”
Hestia turned her foot to the right without hesitation, and then she strode away.
“It’s here!”
At the tip of his index finger, which he pointed with a bright smile, was a store with a sign with a fairly modern name, .
Through the window, I saw a mercenary with his nose in a bowl, inhaling curry and rice.
Belle said, looking at the scene in a daze.
“…Look at it all in your mouth, it must be really delicious.”
“Go in.”
Yuma’s permission was given. Hestia and Belle fall into the cube curry. Yuma and Clone slowly walked in.
Yuma and Clone eat cube steak.
Hestia and Belle ordered curry.
The three women have already become quite close.
We had a conversation on the way to Langerth.
Bell spoke quietly.
“So, Clone and I are beings controlled by an oracle?”
Clone slowly savored the cube steak.
“Yes.”
“It is the master’s job to take Clone and I to the princess of the empire.”
Yuma nodded her head.
“That’s right.”
Yuma did not intentionally prevent Clone from telling her story about her oracle in detail to her Belle. Bell must be fully aware of this to cooperate quickly.
Sigh…
After devouring a bowl of curry, Belle wiped her mouth with a tissue and opened her mouth.
“Honestly, I don’t know whether it’s the empire or the princess. I’ll just listen to Yuma. That’s okay, right?”
Bell’s pink eyes looked directly at Yuma.
Yuma chuckled.
“Yes, that will do.”
Clone, who was sitting next to her Belle, looked at her Belle with a blank face.
‘… That’s a good thing.’
I thought that the line Clone had just said was good.
But she couldn’t say it herself. Clone thought that both Yuma and First Princess Brigitte were his benefactors.
‘I came up with something better to say later… I have to do it to Yuma.’
Hold on!
Clone swore as he took the last remaining cube steak with his fork.
“Yuma!”
This time it was Hestia who sat next to Yuma.
Hestia pointed to something in front of Yuma!
It was none other than the 5 pieces of cube steak left in Yuma’s bowl!
“Well, if I don’t eat that, will you give it to me?”
“Okay, eat it all.”
Yuma pushed her bowl towards Hestia next to her.
Clone once again commented on the lines. In your head.
‘… Even if I die, I won’t say something like that. Forever.’
Another resolution has been made.
After finishing their meal, Yuma and the others came out of Cube Curry and hurried her steps again. Yuma asked Belle next to her.
She was thinking of asking now a fact that she would have to confirm someday.
“Belle, have you ever killed anyone?”
The question was whether Bell, who had been in the Byakuya clan for 20 years, had ever killed anyone.
Even if you are a genius in swordsmanship given by God, if you cannot kill a person, you may not be able to use your strength when you really need it.
“Five people.”
Bell spoke without hesitation.
“I killed five people, because not all of the people who invaded the Byakuya clan were people who ran away from Pyneton’s hand. There were also people who dared to come in just to plunder. I killed my first one when I was 15… “There have been several more intruders since then.”
After calmly telling the story, Bell paused for a moment and stared at Yuma.
“Don’t worry, I can kill anyone if my lord tells me to. I am my lord’s sword.”
Yuma’s endless blue eyes met Belle’s pink eyes.
There was not a single flicker in the pink eyes.
“I believe that.”
Yuma said that and walked ahead.
“Does it look like it’s right there?”
“Yes.”
Clone responded to Hestia’s words.
Among the structures made of straw and leather, a lone, fairly modern building stood tall.
It seemed like a high-end inn had been converted into a temporary royal palace.
Thump- Thump-
As we entered the entrance, fifteen guard warriors quickly approached Yuma and his group. One of her men came with a grim look on his face, thrusting his long spear at Yuma.
Whoop—!
“This is the king’s temporary residence. Prove your identity…!”
The long spear was quite cool. And the trajectory of the spear blade raised towards Yuma was a bit threatening.
A ray of light rushed from Yuma’s side.
Sugeong─!
The iron spear was instantly split in two and flew through the air.
It was Bell who drew his sword in one fell swoop and cut the steel spear into two.
And then Bell’s right hand was placed on the shoulder of the warrior standing next to Yuma.
Quad deuk!
It was a joint like flash.
“Keuuu!”
A warrior with a dislocated shoulder dropped his spear and rolled on the ground.
“For a threat, the trajectory is too sharp, man.”
Bell’s eyes immediately became cold.
And a rebellious spirit flowed from her body.
A chilly force that weighs down the space.
“Don’t move.”
The warriors, clearly aware of the difference in skill, stood still.
Yuma threw the lion’s bronze medal he had kept in her arms onto her floor.
“Grand Marshal of the Astes Empire, tell them that Yuma has arrived.”
And then he patted Belle’s shoulder.
“Very good. Next time, move after I speak.”
From noble mtl dot com
Yuma really liked the power of the sharp sword called Bell.
Her earlier worries were unfounded.
Belle smiled brightly.
“Yes! Master.”
The vicious spirit that Belle had been emitting towards her warriors evaporated in an instant.
