Chapter 65 – Episode 65 Solarion Raid Operation
A wagon bearing the Solarion flag rode down the road.
“The capital is only one month away.”
Emir, with his bobbed hair tied back, muttered as he looked out the carriage window.
“I will, lady. I think the air is already different.”
The maid sitting across from her, Misa, answered with a smile.
“Okay? I am the same.”
On the contrary, her mood subsided the closer she got to the capital.
“Ha.”
Maurice Dmitry.
Because I keep thinking of that person.
Emir clasped his hand on the window.
Her fine brow wrinkled.
“Are you okay?”
Misa asked Emir with a worried face.
“It’s okay.”
It’s just that her head hurts a little.
It just makes her chest throb a little.
Okay.
She can still bear it.
The countless wounds and pains that I already had thinking of him are the pains that gradually heal.
She thought so
“My lady, don’t worry too much. There are many men in the empire, and there are many nobles who ask the lady to marry them.”
“You don’t have to force comfort.”
Emir tried to stop Massa from smiling brightly.
Can I do something called love again?
Can I bear the pain?
“I am always on your side.”
Misa said, straightening her Emir’s collar.
“Missa, thank you for saying that.”
It was then.
Bang!
“Kyaaaaagh!”
The carriage shook violently with a loud explosion.
Mass covered her head, causing her to scream.
Is one of the wheels broken?
The carriage tilted to one side.
“What is going on?”
Emir asked.
But she got no answer back.
“Keah!”
All she could hear was an ear-piercing scream.
The smell of her blood stung her nose.
“Sheesh!”
The emir pulled out the sword that had been placed next to her to get into her carriage.
Sereung.
‘Is it a raid? If it’s a raid, who the hell is it?’
It was nothing else, the carriage of Solarion, one of the great lords of the Empire.
Which fearless gang will raid her carriage?
With such confidence, the number of people in this procession was also minimal.
All he had was a wagon and a few knights to escort him.
To attack Solarion with such a prestige.
‘It can’t be just a thief.’
She heard footsteps outside.
The steady footsteps sounded like those of a trained soldier.
‘Who is it? Rebel? Or perhaps they are the soldiers of the aristocracy?’
Emir gritted his teeth.
She was the one who learned swordsmanship and fighting from Knight Commander Bartram, but this was her first time fighting.
Killing people.
It was an experience she had never had before in her life.
However, since she decided to take up the sword, it was also something she would have to go through at least once.
‘Can I do well?’
The emir swallowed her saliva.
“Ah, lady…”
Misa swayed and looked up at Emir.
“Shh. Hiding quietly happens, don’t come out. Whatever because they seem to be targeting me.”
“Yes…”
The owners of the sound stopped.
Drooling!
As soon as the door opened, Emir thrust out her sword.
Fu-wook!
With the eerie sound of flesh ripping and bones cracking.
“Cheuk!”
A painful moan was heard.
The enemy who was wearing the mask passed backwards.
“What, what?”
The comrades of the fallen enemies shouted in bewildered voices.
“How dare you raid Solarion’s carriage! Your liver is swollen!”
Red blood stained Emir’s shiny blonde hair as he shouted.
“It’s Emir Solarion!”
“Everybody get that bitch!”
All eyes of the assailants who were wearing her mask were on her.
They pointed at the swords stained with the blood of the knights who were escorting the carriage.
“Let’s go cleanly without any resistance. Wouldn’t that be comfortable with each other?”
“Don’t be ridiculous!”
All of the masked enemies were of a lower level than Emir.
But there were too many of them.
‘Is it possible by myself?’
She feigned composure, but the feel of the murder she had just committed was still vivid in her hands.
But there is no time to be immersed in such sentiments.
“Capture it quickly!”
The masked men rushed at Emir.
The enemy who came in the lead aimed at the emir’s arm and swung his sword.
Emir quickly returned the enemy’s sword and lowered her body.
Whoo!
The sword stabbed her from behind, aiming for her shoulder, cutting through the air.
The emir’s dagger decapitated her enemy, who first aimed at her.
“Grrrr!”
The masked man’s throat cracked and blood foamed.
Her second masked man, who was attacking her from behind, staggered as she unexpectedly evaded the Emir.
Emir did not miss that opportunity.
Whirik!
Her sword slashed the wrist of the masked man who was holding her sword.
“Keah!”
“I-what is that?”
The captain who was leading the masked people repeated in a stunned voice.
Didn’t the report say that it was this strong?
So, everyone accepted the mission with a light heart.
‘What is this?’
Did the Lady of Solarion have grown this much?
After all, the child of a dragon was also a dragon.
“Damn it. Form a siege everyone! It is not an opponent to be taken lightly.”
At the command of the captain, the masked men stood in their proper positions.
Emir, seeing the elaborate square, bit her lip.
‘As expected, they’re trained regular soldiers.’
She made three unwary enemies incapacitated in an instant, but when they attacked in earnest like this, she couldn’t help either.
‘A head-to-head match is impossible.’
There was only one way.
Fight while running away
Then what about Mass?
‘They’re the ones who raided to kidnap me anyway.’
The sword did not feel alive.
If the goal is to capture, not kill.
I had to make it as tricky as possible.
You don’t seem to know that Mass is still inside…
‘Let’s lure the enemies while getting out of here as much as possible.’
It was not a bad operation, she thought.
Having finished her thoughts, the emir slowly retreated behind her.
She found a suitable retreat.
A small forest road next to the wagon road.
It was the only way she could escape.
‘Great.’
Having made up her mind, Emir kicked the ground.
“The target runs away! Chase them all!”
Emir heard the voices of the masked people behind her and moved her feet as far as she could.
But no matter how much you run.
“Hurry up!”
The voices of the masked people did not think to go far.
I don’t know how long it ran.
My legs were numb and I was short of breath.
I ran for so long that I felt like I would collapse at any moment.
However, no matter how much I ran, the forest was endless.
A voice was still heard from behind.
“Where have you been?”
“You want to find it quickly?”
Hiding her body, the emir leaned her back against a tree.
“Haha, haha.”
I don’t know where this place is now.
‘Was the road leading into the forest in the opposite direction of the capital? Was it in the direction of the capital?’
See and run
She regretted herself for not being a little more calm.
The voices of the masked people who stayed around gradually faded away.
“I see no trace.”
“Damn it, you’re such a quick mouse… Spread out in pairs and find them!”
The masked people were scattered in all directions.
Emir, who watched them disappear, was able to move only after they had disappeared for a long time.
“Okay…”
She sat for a long time, and her legs went numb.
It was time for her to move her steps in a direction that would avoid her pursuers as much as possible.
“What does this smell like?”
It was the smell I got from boiling the soup.
‘There is a private house nearby.’
The emir cautiously moved in the direction of her scent.
With each step she took, the scent of soup that stung her nose grew thicker and thicker.
All that could be seen was the emir who made her way through her bush and made her way in front of her.
A small lake located in the forest. And it was a small cabin built by the lake.
The smell of soup was wafting from that house.
‘Are there any masked people nearby?’
Emir surveyed the people around her.
However, she did not sense the presence of her enemies who attacked her.
‘Great.’
It was time to slowly lower and approach the cabin.
“What are you doing at my resort? Lady Solarion?”
I heard a familiar voice right next to me.
However, Emir, who was very nervous, did not have the spirit to figure out who the voice belonged to.
“Hey!”
Emir screamed at her and swung her sword.
But her sword couldn’t reach the end.
It felt like a great force was gripping her sword.
“Would it be okay to wield such a dangerous object carelessly?”
“What is this?”
Only then was the emir able to raise her head and identify the man in front of her.
“Mo, Maurice… Dmitry?”
“It’s awkward when you call me by your last name.”
It was Minister Maurice Dmitry.
“D, Dmitri, why are you here?”
“Am I unable to come to my resort on my own?”
“To? Are you on vacation?”
Emir asked in a shrill voice.
“It is a resort bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor. Lake Onstar. I know it was a pretty famous lake near the capital, right?”
The emir blinked her eyes.
‘You mean I ran away here?’
What kind of joke of fate is this?
It was the only way to escape, and it was the only way to escape.
I ran to die to live.
The end of the road is here.
“But it doesn’t make sense. What happened?”
Maurice’s words flashed my mind.
“Unknown enemies attacked our wagon.”
“The enemy attacked the Lady of Solarion?”
“Yeah, I think they tried to kidnap me.”
“Knapped… What fearless bastards could think of kidnapping an Imperial nobleman?”
Maurice’s face contorted.
He was raging like a blazing fire.
“You dare to call the nobility of the Empire… Did you see their facial expressions? Like a symbol or their swordsmanship.”
“I do not know.”
“Sorry. Rest inside first…”
Maurice couldn’t finish her sentence.
It was because masked assassins surrounded the cabin.
“They seem to be the ones who followed the young lady.”
“Maurice Dmitry?”
The masked people were embarrassed by the appearance of an unexpected person.
“Can you give me the person behind you?”
“You don’t know who I am, do you? And what kind of relationship I and Lady Solarion were once together.”
The Emperor’s favorite Minister of Magic.
The Empire’s greatest wizard.
The masked man’s captain swallowed.
The number of masked people gathered here is fifteen.
There wasn’t even a mana block that could suppress wizards.
No, even if he blocks mana, can he beat Maurice?
However.
-Emir should be brought with him even at the cost of his life.
… Command of the superior.
Even if the one in front of him was the emperor, he had to break through.
“I warned you to get out of the way.”
“I warned you too. Get off my land.”
“Looks like you have no intention of leaving. Charge everyone! I’ll somehow return with Lady Solarion!”
Maurice snapped her fingers.
***
Her lips twisted at the scent of her blood stinging her nose.
“It’s not a good scene to watch.”
I muttered as I looked down at the corpses lying on the floor.
“It’s self-employed.”
The fact that she did not run away when he warned her directly must have been due to her loyalty to follow her orders.
After removing the corpses with levitation magic, I saw Emir sitting back in the hut.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes.”
She swallowed her surprise and answered in the most blunt voice.
“Then I’m glad.”
I looked at her for a while.
Her hair and body were disorganized and in a mess, but her expression was firm.
“Did you come all the way here avoiding them?”
“Yes. Right.”
“You are also hardened.”
Got stronger A lot of it too.
“Now I can do well on my own even if I don’t have to protect it.”
“Right. I don’t need you anymore. Even myself… Of course, I received help today, but I will be able to protect my body without you in the future.”
Emir deliberately averted my eyes.
Pounding.
Why does my heart hurt so much at that sight?
“I will take you to the capital. I feel like I’m alone.”
“Oh, there are still people left.”
“Who is it?”
“She’s a maid named Misa, and she’ll be hiding from the scene.”
“Is it?”
I sighed.
“Then there is nothing you can do. Let’s go to the site first.”
“… Thanks.”
“Thank you. It’s good to just think that the young lady was lucky.”
I took her back to the place where her wagon had been attacked the first time.
Going back wasn’t difficult.
She took her in her arms and flew through her sky.
Returning to the carriage, the Solarion knights who had already arrived were investigating the scene.
“Go, Duke, look over there!”
A knight came out and pointed at Emir, and in anger and sorrow, Duke Solarion, who was commanding the scene, met my eyes.
“Oh, oh! Emir!”
Emir, who got off my arms, was hugged by Duke Solarion.
“Father!”
“I just thought I was going to lose you.”
After the thrilling father-daughter reunion, Duke Solarion held my hand.
“I don’t know how to express my thanks. As before, and now…”
“Goodbye. Because I was lucky.”
“Be humble! Haha, really you…”
Honey dripped into Duke Solarion’s eyes as he looked at me.
“Thank you very much.”
“No.”
I bowed my head.
My gaze turned to Emir, who was crying as he looked at Mass, the maid who had already died.
‘This is… I can’t get used to it.’
Maurice’s body, who still loves Emir, reacted in various ways whenever he saw her.
Her heart beat fast, her fingertips trembled, and she couldn’t make eye contact with her.
However, her consciousness of Choi Yoo-jun still refused to get close to her.
The reason she rejected her Emir with political reasons.
I feel like I’m not going to be me
My name is Yoojun Choi.
Maurice seemed to be eaten by her body.
Acknowledging her feelings for Emir is no different than admitting that she lost to Maurice’s body.
I kept pushing her away.
However, this body…
He seemed unwilling to follow my thoughts.
She kept making her head spin just by blocking her steps towards her emir.
So I decided not to watch it.
Closing her eyes and turning her head, she didn’t make eye contact with Emir.
‘Good. If she’s come this far, she’s done.’
Let’s endure well until the end.
“But how were there two of you?”
“I was resting at a resort and Miss Emir came to visit me. She found out too late that she was being pursued by the enemy.”
“Oh, is that so?”
As her thrill that her daughter had survived subsided, her suspicions were revealed little by little.
“If you want, I’ll even make a promise of mana.”
“Haha, okay. You don’t have to do that.”
“Miss Emir will tell you the details.”
“You are right… Perhaps, could you help me with the investigation?”
Duke Solarion asked.
“Anything I can help with.”
“I think we should find out where they belong. They don’t seem like quite a few nobles.”
“There’s a group of them at my resort too, check them out.”
“Okay.”
***
“Check done. Even contact with Duke Solarion is perfect.”
Emily, who was watching this from her base, snapped her fingers.
Her crystal ball, which had illuminated Maurice’s figure until just before her, went out.
Ronald, who was watching this from the side, sighed.
“Is this a success?”
“Sooner or later, Solarion will find out that this abduction is our fault, and the Emperor faction will notice the existence of a new faction of nobles.”
“I am asking if this is really worth sacrificing our elite knights. Maurice also died at her hands. A fight between allies.”
“It’s a sacrifice of a cow for the sake of the generations.”
“They didn’t know Maurice was ours.”
“You shouldn’t know. Only then can you be fooled.”
“Who are you talking about?”
“You and me and everyone except Maurice.”
“…”
Ronald, who had been silent for a long time, asked.
“Did Maurice really allow it?”
“Yes. He also admitted that this was the only way. It took me a while to convince you.”
The abduction of the daughter of Emir Solarion.
It was literally a kidnapping.
Pretending to kidnap, corner Emir and let Emir escape. And encounters her Maurice and saves her from her crisis.
Maurice’s rescue of her had to be a coincidence.
‘How hard it was to drive them there.’
After driving the emir to Maurice’s resort, she broke her throat and commanded her knights.
Thanks to you, it was successful.
‘It’s a pity that the spy planted in Solarion died…’
It was really sad that the spy who went under the name of Misa died.
‘It’s not an easy task to spy on the Solarion duchy.’
Sooner or later, information about the kidnappers will come out.
The kidnappers are Ronald and Emily, the upstart faction of the New Aristocrats.
Maurice Dmitry, who prevented their desperate kidnapping.
He’ll get more credit than this.
‘The emperor will doubt it at first, but that will only be short-lived.’
Emily clicked her tongue.
“The Count will not know how terrifying the eyes glaring at me were when I said that I was kidnapping Lady Solarion.”
“I don’t even want to know.”
“Now is the real beginning. Our neo-aristocrats appear.”
Blinded by her revenge her, Emily’s expression her twisted.
