Chapter 39 – Infiltration – 1
“It has finally arrived.”
Passage going down to the basement.
If you follow this road, you can enter the palace.
“If it gets dangerous, run away.”
Usually, if you are replaced by someone and try to take that position back, you will be nervous or full of energy.
However, contrary to what she thought, Sylvia had an expression of unwillingness.
“If things don’t work out as you said, Sylvia, I’ll run away.”
Running away almost means failure, so there is little chance of survival.
She probably knew that too.
“I…”
Sylvia hesitated, she was looking at me.
Eyes full of worry.
The words that came out of her mouth were unexpected.
“If you could run away alone, would you run away now?”
Escape. In other words, a life of refuge.
The words that come out of the mouth of the princess of a country are by no means light.
From the values he has lived his whole life to his status as a royal.
It’s literally like throwing away everything.
Even if you escape, it won’t be so smooth.
News that we are alive must have already reached the enemy.
They will persistently pursue it until the end.
“You don’t have to worry too much. “I will try to succeed no matter what I do.”
Knights in fairy tales and legends say wonderful lines at times like this.
What came out of my mouth, which usually has nothing to do with such things, was the usual playful tone.
“Foot… Even in times like this, it’s like Eugene.”
Sylvia’s expression brightens with a small smile.
“Besides, it’s much more convenient to destroy the pursuer first than to be chased by him, right?”
“That’s right. If Eugene can defeat a giant wolf, it will definitely be possible.”
The atmosphere, which had been rigid with tension and worry, was suddenly changing into a friendly atmosphere.
“And if you run away, who will take care of you princess?”
“Of course Eugene listened, didn’t he?”
Sylvia was looking at me with a mischievous expression.
I would say it’s disappointing. An expression that feels desirable.
The corners of the mouth naturally turn up due to the mixture of cuteness and loveliness.
“I’m like that because I’m weak.”
“For that matter, you were doing well in the cave, right?”
Sylvia approaches with great strides.
As she came closer, I could feel her elegant body scent.
“Well, that’s because it’s my specialty”
Looking at her with a smirk
In response to him, she was giving a gentle look.
“Then, as regrettable as it may be, I will wait on Eugene instead.”
“Silvia me?”
Sylvia was smiling with a rosy face.
“I just thought that wouldn’t be that bad.”
“You’ll probably regret it. “With a fairly high probability.”
“Is it because of that?”
Her eyes turn to my lower body.
“That’s the way it is. Besides, are there other women besides Sylvia?”
“Foot… Did you really think I didn’t even know that? “
“Did it show off that much?”
“Yes. “A lot.”
This was unexpected.
Did you notice it in words or actions?
It is said that polygamy is common in this world, so it may have been easy to recognize it by looking at the attitude.
Sylvia has an expression reminiscent of a cute little devil.
She pressed her body close to her with a charming smile on her face.
“Anyone can easily tell. “If you knew Eugene’s sexual desires.”
“I take it as a compliment.”
“It’s really shameless and sly.”
“It’s my strength.”
Sylvia looked at me carefully for a moment, then smiled brightly and opened her mouth.
“I think so too.”
Sylvia looked at her and smiled for a moment, then her expression turned serious.
A charismatic face.
Words overflowing with arrogance and elegance flowed from her mouth.
“Knight Eugene.”
“Yes.”
Answer befitting Sylvia’s serious attitude.
Her words contained irresistible charisma.
“I will give you one command. “Please be sure to follow this.”
Her eyes had a resolute look.
“Don’t die.”
“I swear.”
As soon as she finished answering, Sylvia smiled again and came into her arms as if she had never done that before.
“If Eugene dies, I will die too.”
“You say cruel things with a smiling face.”
“What do you think? To put it the way Eugene usually says, she just needs to not die.”
Her playful tone and expression make me laugh.
“Tsk tsk… That’s true.”
Before I knew it, the surroundings were filled with darkness.
If she delayed any longer, she would miss the perfect time to infiltrate.
“Then I’ll be right back. “Silvia will be waiting anxiously.”
Trap – plod –
She moves her feet to the passageway leading down to the basement.
Since I’ve come this far, I have no choice but to try to be either oatmeal or rice.
“Eugene.”
As I walk down her aisle, Sylvia’s voice calls me.
When she turned her head back, she was smiling beautifully.
“You are the first person I have ever relied on in my life. “Never die.”
At this rate, I can’t go back empty-handed.
Even if the enemy is actually a dragon, you have to cut off its head and return home.
“I promise.”
*****
Palace of the Kingdom of Lumis.
In the room, a man was receiving reports from his subordinates.
“We searched all the cities and villages near Roern, but we did not find our target…”
The face of the man listening to the report became distorted with each word.
The man’s name is Quirn.
He was one of the prestigious nobles of the Lumis Kingdom.
“You’re kidding me!”
Quirn’s shout echoes throughout the room.
As if that wasn’t enough, he threw the vase right next to his subordinate.
The vase that hit the subordinate’s head shattered with a cheerful sound.
“Tsk… I’m sorry.”
Quirn sighing and breathing heavily.
He looked nervous and anxious.
‘If this goes wrong…’
Quirn was dripping with cold sweat.
Treason is punishable by death. And in the most painful and cruel way.
‘It’s already too late to back out.’
It’s not a big deal yet.
Even though he thought that, he couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Since the risk was so high, he was anxious even if the plan went smoothly, but contrary to his original expectations, the princess Sylvia was alive and well.
‘As long as I’m on the same side as these guys, it’ll be okay if something happens…’
A fake Sylvia appeared in Quirn’s mind.
A being who promised to allow him to have most of the wealth and power of the kingdom, rather than just being a wealthy noble.
At first, he didn’t find it easy to believe either.
I just thought she was a crazy person.
But after seeing her skills, she seemed capable.
He wondered if all these events would have happened if he had been a nobleman loyal to the kingdom.
That wasn’t what Quirn thought.
If he had refused, the corpse of a nobleman who died for an unknown reason would have appeared.
“Haa…”
An annoyed sigh.
An unidentified being. She was absolutely not an ordinary human being.
From unknown magic to unknown means of luring ogres.
She was confident that with her, she would be able to take over the kingdom.
‘But what is this anxiety…’
Eugene.
A knight who doesn’t even know where he came from while eating.
This guy was ruining everything.
“Report whatever you find out about this guy named Eugene.”
“Well… That. And that’s not yet.”
“Even after pouring so much time and money into it?”
Quirn felt her anger, which had subsided just a little, rising to the top of her head again.
So much so that she thought that once everything was over, she would have to completely replace all of her subordinates.
If there had been another vase around him, it would have been blown away right away.
“How stupid…!”
In fact, it was unfair to his subordinates.
Because it was impossible to find out the identity of Eugene, who suddenly appeared in another world.
However, the subordinates who did not know this fact had no choice but to silently receive Quirn’s insults for their shameful behavior without a single performance.
“Whoa… It’s done. It looks like he ran away like a rat, so increase the investigation radius further.”
“Yes!”
As his subordinates left the room and Quirn was worrying, the one who entered the room was the one he feared the most and his ally, the fake Sylvia.
“It looks like things aren’t going well.”
“I’m sorry.”
The opposite situation from just now.
Quirn suppressed his boiling heart and lowered his head.
“What are you doing when the enemy is right in front of you…”
“What do you mean by that?”
Fake Sylvia looked at Quirn as if she was pitiful.
“Well… If it weren’t for the power he gave me, I wouldn’t have known.”
From her reaction, the shrewd Quirn could tell that the enemy had truly infiltrated inside.
He knew that she had the ability to do that.
“I will send the soldiers to catch you right now!”
“No… It looks like they used some kind of trick, so the soldiers alone won’t be enough. How many assassins can we use now?”
“There are two people.”
Even in Quirn’s opinion, two was a small number.
However, it was not possible to infiltrate a large army into the palace.
The two of them were only able to do so because of her help.
“For now, I have no choice but to use whatever I regret. If possible, try to handle it on your own. “If I want to safely continue pretending to be a noble princess, I can’t get involved with strange things.”
“Yes!”
She took out her small bead and handed it to him.
The green light floating bead was pointing somewhere like a compass.
“Use it to find him. “If you can’t handle it, you better be prepared.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Silvia’s fake smile, full of ominousness and lust.
Quirn felt a chill run down her spine.
