Chapter 161 – For a Precious Person (5)
“Your Highness the Princess! You can’t do this!”
The eunuch following Leonhard blocked the way at the entrance to the archery range, but Benelia didn’t even look at it.
“Go away.”
Benelia, pushing her her coffin her to the side of her her, stepped inside her. She had countless imperial knights lined up around her, but she did not dare to stop Benelia.
Her usual languid complexion her was because her vassal’s face her was fiercely distorted. In addition, Benelia now entered the archery range without a single escort, her blood and blood alone.
With her arms her disarmed, her knights were unable to suppress Benelia. She had no reason whatsoever to stop her Benelia from coming to see her brother her. Keeping a certain distance and guarding her Benelia was the best the knights could do.
Benelia walked leisurely between the knights. Even though her enemies were on all sides of her, her attitude of not being afraid was like her lion spirit her.
Each well-balanced gait rises to the shooting range at the archery range. Benellia, who approached Leonhard with her coat fluttering, stopped ten steps away.
Leonhard did not pretend to look, but Benelia greeted her lightly, placing her hand on her chest her.
“Have you been well, brother?”
The word brother is annoying. But she didn’t have to answer. Leonhard, who placed a herringbone on the longbow’s sheath his, pulled his string all the way.
The moment Leonhard, aiming at the faraway sky, was about to let go of his protest her, Benelia calmly continued.
“Did you hear the news? Some bugs sent a group of waterers to assassinate Viscount Theorard.”
Bugs. The swear words digging into her ears made it difficult to breathe. Leonhard’s hand holding the blood trembled.
Leon Hard, who was short of the minute, eventually narrowed his string and lowered his longbow. Leonhard, with a low laugh at her bewilderment her, looks back at Benelia.
“I don’t understand. Are you doubting me now? Yes?”
“Doubt? I just came here to spread the news.”
“Hey……. Did our Benelia grow up a lot? Do you know how to avoid pretending?”
“I mean. Or is it your older brother?”
Who is it that is taking off her pretense now? The confident words made Leonhard embarrassed.
‘Do you have proof?’
No, it would be just a heart attack. I don’t know if it’s someone else, but Seamuth, the leader of the Black Dogs, is a thoroughgoing guy. He couldn’t have left evidence at the scene.
Also, even if Benelia had the evidence, she wouldn’t be able to do anything about it right now. War will soon break out. It was not a good thing to announce the conflicting relationship to the world in a position where we have to cooperate with each other, even on the surface.
“You are right to doubt it.”
Leonhard, who was laughing, was proud of himself.
“You are the problem. When something bad happens, always suspect the family first. Well, it’s not that I don’t understand. It’s only natural for you to be jealous and envy me because you’re half-year-old.”
“Period…… Did you say you were jealous?”
Murderous intent creeps into Benelia’s words her. Unknowingly, Benelia clenched her fist and glared at Leonhard.
“Don’t you remember that it was your older brother who was jealous of a six-year-old child and strangled him? Did you forget that you were the one who gave me the gift of a hellish life?”
“Under? It’s natural to forget. Isn’t that just a stroke of childhood? On the contrary, don’t you think that the four years you remember so far are strange?”
“Okay.”
A faint smile spreads across Benelia’s lips her. The expression of being relieved somewhere makes Leonhard curious. Benelia smiled briefly and murmured leisurely while looking at Leonhard.
“I was wondering what would happen if you apologized. It’s really fortunate that you remain a constant coward and trash.”
Silence hung all around. Leonhard, who was bewildered by the absurd wind, lifted the longbow belatedly.
“You dare this son of a bitch!”
Leonhard, pulling her string taut, takes aim at Benelia’s head.
It is not difficult to hit a person standing in place from a distance of about 10 steps. If Leonhard enjoyed hunting, he could definitely hit Benelia.
However, Benelia was not shaken. She never lost her smile and she just stared at Leon Hard.
“Are you trying to kill me? What a great decision.”
“I don’t think I can.”
“No. You can do it What’s the hardest thing about letting go of a protest? It’s just that I’m worried that my brother will meet a miserable end after my death.”
“A miserable end.”
“Did you forget? Before being the princess, I am the military commander in charge of the footsteps of dawn, a combat unit directly under the imperial family.”
Fifteen hundred elites are loyal only to Benelia. If the owner holding their leash is killed, the dogs will go on a rampage and try to take over the imperial palace.
It is clear that the knights and soldiers of Benellia, who rushed into the archery field in an instant while carrying out her slaughter her, will capture Leonhard.
Leonhard did not know that, but he did not lower his longbow. It was because his insignificant pride clouded his eyes.
“Do you think the guards guarding the imperial palace won’t be able to stop your hounds?”
“No. If the Guard join forces with the garrison, my troops will be destroyed. However, it’s hard to imagine that they will move faster than my unit. No matter how quickly I arrive, it will be after my brother’s body has been dismembered .”
Leonhard couldn’t argue. There was nothing wrong with Benelia’s words her. In the end, Leonhard had no choice but to put down his longbow in a fit of anger.
“…… Great. Let’s just joke around here. There are also eyes that see around you, isn’t it? War is right around the corner.”
“Now that you’ve said that, I’ll stop playing with words. However, there is one thing you should keep in mind.”
The smile disappears from Benelia’s face her. From now on, as if it was no joke, the expressed energy spread out like an aura.
“You will have to kill me somehow before the war is over. If you fail, my brother will die.”
He’s not going to kill. It wasn’t even that he might die. He dies Benelia, speaking calmly as if explaining her pre-existing facts, turned around and walked away.
The knights of the imperial family, who had been frozen for a moment, opened the way as if it were natural. Benelia was pulling away, but Leonhard couldn’t bear to curse her at her back her.
Another angle-
In a space where everyone was silent, only the sound of Benelia’s shoes echoed quietly.
*
At noon. Villa of Benelia.
“Hmm, hmm.”
In the yard of her villa her, Roylen dressed her neatly in her suit and smoothed her voice. She said that she was visited by a saint, so she wanted to set an example in her own way.
No matter how much she did, the thought that she had to serve one of the two buds of the church made her feel burdened.
“Your Highness, Princess. Hello, should I even do this…….”
As he sighed and muttered, he saw a pure white carriage coming in from the other side. Seeing that she was being escorted by paladins, she must have been a saint.
Taking a deep breath, Roilen gave a signal to the two knights behind her and the servants of her villa and straightened her back.
Five minutes later, a carriage entered the yard. The rattling approaching wagon slowly slowed down. The Paladins also pulled the reins and matched the speed of the wagon.
Eventually, when the carriage stopped, the coachman hurriedly got out and opened the carriage door. From there, the saintess slowly walks out. At the same time, her blinding radiance spread throughout the area.
Thanks to that, everyone who was standing up naturally lowered their heads. It was the same with Roylen.
“A lowly believer who worships the god of light stands and sees the saintess.”
In her heart her, she wanted to talk face to face with her, but it was irresistible. It seemed that her jokes of her, that even the wicked could not see her toes of her, and that even the good could only see the tip of her chin of her, were true.
That halo, referred to as the ‘light of heaven’ in the world, was not bright enough for people to see.
If the sun was burning in front of my eyes, would it be like this? You can’t even be near it without closing your eyes or lowering your head.
Roilen was at least on the better side of her situation. Some of her servants behind her were unable to withstand the intense light and fell to the ground.
“Thank you for your hospitality.”
The voice of the saintess is heard loftily. The closer she got to the saintess, the stronger the light hit her, so she had no choice but to narrow her eyes.
It was a painful visual terror indeed, but Roylen did not show it and pointed to her villa. Her opponent was a saint who was said to be one of the two buds of the cult, so she needed to be treated with utmost hospitality.
“Eat inside. I would like to treat you in a simple way.”
“You are truly grateful. I will.”
After hearing her answer her, Roylen turns around and walks in front of her. Her knights and servants of the villa also turned their backs on her saintess and rushed into her villa her as if they had promised her her.
None of them want to look at her saintess. It’s a familiar sight now. The saintess with a bitter smile, Rastain, followed in their footsteps.
Two blind girls follow behind them. It was because they needed someone to carry the saintess’s hair that had grown down to her feet.
“There are stairs ahead.”
Rastane, who informed the blind girls of the obstacle, climbs the stairs as slowly as possible. It was to be considered of blind girls.
Slowly but steadily. Climbing the stairs with the blind girls, Rastane entered the villa through the open door.
The light then becomes more intense. It was partly because he entered the narrow space after being outside in the open, but it was also because the ornaments placed here and there in the villa diffused the light.
Some of them groan involuntarily and look away. Most of the personnel were still facing her saintess with their backs turned.
Rastane understands them. It wasn’t that understanding didn’t hurt. It was for this reason that Rastain refrained from going out on a regular basis.
‘I will have to live with this kind of treatment for the rest of my life…….’
Some people say that Rastain’s ‘light of life’ is a blessing from God, but Rastain himself thinks that this is nothing more than a terrible curse from the pope.
Although they are praised on the outside, there are no people who sincerely want to get close to the saintess. The only ones he could get along with were the blind girls who took care of him. Because if you couldn’t see, you didn’t have to be afraid of the light.
“Viscount Theorard! Didn’t I tell you to rest!”
Just as Rastane was pessimistic about himself, a slight disturbance broke out in front of him.
“How can you rest when the saintess is visiting? As a believer of the god of light, it is right to say hello.”
“I understand the heart, but work is all in order…….”
“Theorard? Is your name Theorad Deharm?”
The last words were from the saintess. The name of the person who was said to be blessed by the God of Light, as Captain Landis said, was ‘Theorad Deharm’, so he wanted to see who it was.
After fully understanding the saintess’ intentions, Roilen and her servants opened the way, and Theo Rad stepped forward.
Her neat hair, neat gait, and dignified attire clearly reveal that she is the head of an aristocratic family. Theorard, who had come closer, bowed politely.
“Yes. My name is Theorad Deham. A lowly believer who worships the god of light dares to see the saintess.”
Upon hearing the greeting, Rastain’s eyes widened. Her slightly parted lips showed her emotion of astonishment.
‘How?’
It was because Theo Rad, who lowered his head and raised it again, was seeing his own gaze of his, as if he couldn’t see the light of life.
