Chapter 329 – 94. Pantheon Escape (1)
The atmosphere at Pantheon Academy was heavier than ever before.
Martial law imposed throughout the ecliptic. At the same time as the martial law, the Pantheon was again ordered to close.
However, the school closure this time was different from the school closure immediately after the Mayeonjeon.
“As Count Julian said, it seems that there are quite a few cadets who have been detained.”
And now it’s the night when the sun has set.
Loia Pavilion of the Pantheon. Three men were hiding in the shadowy back of the building.
Fabian nodded at Leaf’s words.
“The cadets of the medical school that Her Highness Lillia is acquainted with. And his fiancé, the Marquis Julian… No, the Count. It sounds like you worked hard to find cadets from the north who were related to him.”
After saying that, Fabian grinned.
“So here Eric was also a very strong candidate for detention. I am free now.”
“Shhh. Fabian. Lower your voice Even at night, the guards are walking around.”
Like Fabian said. Julian’s coachman, Hans. Hans’ younger brother, Eric, was also detained.
But Eric had heard that information beforehand. Of course, it was from Julian.
‘He is also a wonderful person. It’s hard for us to lead a normal pantheon life. To find out such important information…’
In the first place, he is the person who will become the Marquess of the future. It was like that before the magic battle. Yulian moved one step ahead at a level unthinkable at the cadet level.
Of course, noticing that there will be a rebellion in advance like this. Although it is an area of more ghostly information manipulation.
As the grand duke’s heir, it seemed that such a surprising thing was possible for Yulian.
“I knew that Grius was crazy. Are you really rebelling like this? A child like a dog.”
And Eric cursed in a low voice. The people of Essenmund are extremely loyal to Marquis Wilhelm.
So, Grius, the leader of the rebellion who betrayed the lord he swore allegiance to. He could never be forgiven by the common sense of Essenmund.
‘Still, it’s fortunate that Count Julian hid himself a long time ago.’
I couldn’t tell you the details for Yulian’s safety. Yulian asked the current three to cooperate.
There will be a Grius Rebellion soon. He said that after he hid himself, he would prepare to subdue the rebellion.
And today was the day I said in advance that all the preparations would be over. The three of them today, so that Julian can escape this pantheon. Decided to help him
Eric recalled what Julian had told him beforehand.
‘He said he was hiding in the Pantheon.’
Considering his status, it would have been right to evacuate to a safer place other than the Pantheon.
He was Count Julian, who had risen from the lowest rank of his cadet to the top rank of cadet in just three months. Eric did not doubt Yulian’s words.
‘He must have found a way to overcome this rebellion within it.’
I saw Her Highness Lilia and Yulian leading the cadets right in front of me in the battle of magic. Besides, Eric is an Essenmund.
To be honest, I couldn’t say it because Fabian and Leaf might become rivals. Eric already had more loyalty than Fabian had shown to Julian. He respected Yulian even more.
‘Even though last year… No, the rumors before the military parade were really bad.’
Now he is the only heir to the Marquis. And he knows perfectly well that as Her Highness’s fiancé, he is nothing short of anything, no, he is more than that.
So Erik, an Essenmund from the north. Just like being loyal to Marquis Wilhelm and respecting him. He secretly swore allegiance to the current Julian.
Above all, the fact that he had entrusted such an important mission to himself. He was deeply moved by Eric now.
‘Actually, neither Fabian nor Riff. He’s not an Essenmund, but he must be of the same opinion as me.’
Test. And the most important thing in a knight’s life. It is to find a master to offer one’s sword.
Unless there is a master who knows his sword. The knight also joined the rebels now. He’s no different from the filthy Bai Lea mercenaries.
“The master is someone who clearly tells you who to wield the sword for. That’s what makes it different from a single article.”
And as if reading his own thoughts. At that moment, Riff said.
“Count Julian said he would escape this Pantheon with Her Highness Lillia. We have to risk our lives to open the way. Certainly. Because I can’t be loyal to that filthy grius.”
When Leaf also heard information about the rebellion from Yulian and the request to lend his strength to quell the rebellion.
He didn’t show it, but he was very happy. His motives, Eric, could tell.
‘Not only me, but both of them have definitely set their goals. I will definitely join the White Night.’
Actually, before these three hid themselves. Many cadets of the combat order were forced to be loyal to the Grecian Guard.
The Empire is already occupied by rebels. Therefore, it is actually risking their lives for them, who are only cadets, to oppose him.
But the three of them didn’t worry at all. It was because Julian, asked these three directly.
“I don’t have a strong sense of justice like you, Leaf. Rumor has it that Grius even makes a harem and enjoys weak sexual love every day. It is absolutely unacceptable to have such a lewd and corrupt priest as my lord.”
Fabian seemed to be the same. Eric was surprised at the unexpectedly common sense.
“But, by your standards, Fabian, isn’t Grius someone to respect? Making a harem and enjoying sexual love…”
“No. That’s not it. Looking at Grius’ filthy face, no woman would have entered the harem for pleasure. The harem I think is ideal is a voluntary harem. Falling in love with the owner of the harem, he can tolerate even himself belonging to the harem. Such idealistic…”
Eric couldn’t understand Fabian’s bullshit. But the chatter ended there.
“I got a call! It’s time to move!”
All three of them looked at the woman approaching them at the same time. She is a witch who approached cautiously through stealth magic. She was rosette
And after checking her face, Fabian said.
“Then Leaf, Eric. From now on, do as I say. I have an operation in mind.”
Eric and Leaf nodded their heads nervously.
***
The party all exited the underground temple.
The path we used this time was the basement of the Istia building. I came up to the ground after passing through the basement where there was a portal to enter the primeval forest.
“I have to go out now. All ready.”
Everyone in my party nodded at my words. They had to quickly leave the Pantheon and escape to safety.
‘Fortunately, Rosette and Fabian moved in time.’
Chloe heads to the Aitern family’s estate. Rosette remained in the ecliptic. But to Rosette, the ecliptic was also a safe place.
The witches who were in charge of communication with the ecliptic. So the real-time communication they can use through animals or spirits like familiars. Very sneaky and fast.
So, Rosette could have grasped the movement of the Greek Guard in real time. They had much more freedom of movement than other Pantheon cadets.
‘It would have been easier to hide.’
That rosette is now coming to the Pantheon. My sylph went to see Rosette. She delivered her words.
‘From the Istia Hall to the Endier Hall. The border on that side is the loosest. I’ll join right away.’
And I entrusted Fabian, Riff, and Eric with the mission. They are my end-of-war motives. Of course, I asked for cooperation rather than orders.
All three obeyed me very enthusiastically.
‘When I try to escape the Pantheon. I asked you to loosen the Pantheon’s boundaries as much as possible.’
If you look at what Rosette told me. It looks like they succeeded in their mission.
‘As expected, all three are tam. As a member of Essenmund, of the White Nights…’
That’s how I thought about my future job as a Marquess again. Escape was the priority now.
The group all came out. Upon exiting Istia Hall, Rosette, wearing a witch’s robe, was hiding in the darkness.
“Yulian!”
Rosette’s expression widened as if she was glad to see me. But soon after, I was intimidated by the many women around me.
“Everyone, everyone was together.”
It was a voice mixed with strange disappointment. Still, Rosetney went through a battle of magic. I haven’t forgotten what to do now.
“We need to get out of the Pantheon as quickly as possible. You and Her Highness Lillia shouldn’t leave any traces of their movements.”
Like a smart rosette after all. He was perfectly aware of the priorities of his companions.
‘We have to make the whereabouts of Lillia and I completely unknown. That way, I can further confuse Grius.’
Lucia carried Cecilia. And Eirin got on the back of Rosette’s witch’s wand.
“This way, there will be no problem moving quickly.”
Lucia nodded at her words.
I caught up with Rosette, who was leading the group in a flyby. As Rosette told the party, there were no guards standing guard around Istia Hall.
And he hurriedly asked her.
“What about Fabian and the others? How did you loosen the guard?”
I can’t risk the lives of those three. Those three will definitely be of great help in my future work. However, Fabian made a gap with a far more ingenious idea than I thought.
“Because the cadet of that combat order named Fabian is from the south. I was not detained. So he became friends with the Chuck Guards, who were very interested in enlisting in the Gryu Spa Guards. And…”
In the explanation that followed, Rosette blushed as if she was ashamed of her cheeks.
“He knows all the pretty girls at the academy. He said he would hold a special banquet in the academy for those in charge of the guards…”
He said that he had called the officers of the Guard, who were in charge of guarding the Pantheon, into a classroom in advance.
‘Fabian has a flamboyant speech. I must have fooled those executives properly.’
My prediction was correct. Of course, if the executives knew that, it would be dangerous. Fabian didn’t actually bring the Pantheon’s girls right away.
After feeding the executives with expensive alcohol prepared by Fabian. After expecting them, belatedly, her female students were put in.
Of course, it wasn’t a real female student.
“I contacted you in advance through my spirit. Because I’m going to use that deceptive beauty system. They asked me to cast a spell on them…”
So before Rosette joined like this. Fabian and Riff. And he said that he ordered Eric to dress as a woman.
Rosette is a witch who has already crossed the 5th tier. So if there are just a few items, men can temporarily dress as women. It’s not difficult.
“Imagining that… A little like that. My stomach is sick.”
I agree with Lucia. Lucia is not familiar with the three of them, but she knows his face because they are from the same sect.
All three are excellent swordsmen in the combat world. Therefore, men who are far from the best in the world are dressed up as women.
‘But if it was Rosette’s magic, he would have completely hidden it as a woman.’
He said that he even poured the secret sleeping pills prepared by Rosette into the alcohol. The high-ranking knights said that it was a medicine with excellent efficacy that would not notice suspicious smells.
It’s not as good as Chloe’s, but since Rosette is a witch, it seems like she’s prepared at least that kind of elixir at home.
‘Anyway, I thought the three of them would even give up their dignity as knights… For me.’
They are all proud reserve knights. I feel that I must write a letter of recommendation from the White Night Knights for the three of them.
I followed Rosette. And when we got out of the Istia Pavilion and almost reached the central road of the Pantheon. Rosette hastily set up his wand.
“Time! The guards over there are on guard!”
Like Rosette said. The boundaries inside the Pantheon were loosened, but there were guardsmen guarding the main roads.
‘There aren’t many.’
About 6 guards are visible. No matter how corrupt they were, they were followers of Grius.
The imperial guards are also elite knights to the extent that they are included in the three major knights of the empire.
‘It means at least more than the cadets of the Pantheon.’
But there is no time to quarrel with them. And you must never let them see your companions.
A moment of tension appeared on the faces of the group. There are 6 talented opponents. Of course, the group’s skills are also very good.
Now I had to act in the utmost secrecy. If you can’t subdue them at once and ask for support. If me and Lilia are discovered.
Even if you cross this central road, an encirclement will be created in an instant.
‘Technical end, I have to arrive at Endier Hall to be able to leave the Pantheon.’
Above all, these two are the two rebels are looking for the most.
“His Highness Lilia. I will handle it.”
However, there was no time for such anxiety to spread to the party. I quickly pulled out Siertia.
