Chapter 94 – Episode 94 Guard Captain Caught in a Trap
A cold sweat formed on Phillips’ forehead.
What are the odds that Maurice Dmitri will come to Carolbury with them?
The timing was too precise for a coincidence.
And there.
There was not even a trace of human life in the cave.
If the empress was kidnapped here, there should be evidence related to that as well.
‘It’s a trap.’
The report in the office was all fabricated evidence.
To call the emperors here.
Goosebumps ran all over her body and chills ran down her spine.
“What is Minister Dmitry doing here?”
Phillips feigned composure and smiled.
“Captain of the Guard, I think I asked first?”
“I have been ordered by His Majesty the Emperor.”
“Your Majesty will send the captain of the guard to this distant land… Do you think it’s important?”
“There is something urgently needed to be done.”
“Are you talking about the barren Kerolbury without a single person? Strange.”
“Then what is the minister doing?”
“You mean me?”
Maurice grinned.
“I have something to look for. I heard that there is an important jewel here.”
“That… Is that so?”
“But, I didn’t expect to meet a co-worker like this.”
Maurice’s eyes twinkled.
“We don’t have what we’re looking for, so we’ll go back.”
“Going back? Have you completed the mission given by His Majesty the Emperor?”
“It is not so. There is nothing we are looking for.”
“Is that so?”
Tok. Tok. Tok.
Dwayne tapped his toe.
“I think I found it.”
“Yes? What is that?”
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt an intense surge of energy.
Phillips ducked his side to avoid the attack.
Bang!
“Cheuk!”
The knight standing behind flew away and hit the wall.
Die as is.
The life of the knight who was pinned to the wall was cut off in an instant.
“What are you doing!”
“How long do I have to pretend I don’t know?”
“…”
Maurice’s momentum took Phillips a step back.
“Do you think I will send you back? Those who dared to infiltrate me to frame me.”
“Are you crazy about attacking the Guard?”
“Isn’t it you who lost your mind? You must have been prepared to die.”
“This is treason!”
“I thought the emperor didn’t want to acknowledge the outcome of the trial in the first place?”
“Minister!”
“It was too long.”
Then, Maurice clenched her fist.
Damn
“Keah!”
I heard the screams of another knight who came with me.
No more.
“All charge!”
Phillips rushed forward.
He raises his sword and aims for the wizard’s heart.
Never be careless.
It was a mage that even two Masters could easily deal with.
‘The fight shouldn’t be prolonged.’
The first attack had to succeed even at the cost of several of his men.
Is that the way to guarantee victory or not?
“Haaaaap!”
“Stupid.”
Bang!
A huge explosion occurred from the collision of the two mighty energies.
A cloud of dust rose.
A fierce battle ensued in a cloud of dust.
When Phillips attacked, Maurice blocked it.
Phillips managed to deflect Maurice’s magic.
The wounds caused by Maurice’s magic increased all over Phillips’ body.
“Is this all?”
Maurice blocked Phillips’ sword without a single wound.
The energies are colliding. Her hair is flying, but that’s all.
The men who attacked together had long since gone far away.
Helplessness.
It was the first emotion she felt as she wrestled swords.
She had never felt such a power gap that she was so overwhelmed.
“Uh, how?”
She shouted in a voice full of questions, but only one answer came back.
“It is too weak.”
She flashed a ray of light with him.
Phillips’ sword broke in two.
Much stronger than before.
Much better than she showed in the past civil war.
He placed his sword her on an extremely high level.
Maybe this man
Could it be that he has crossed the wall of the 9th circle, which was said to be unreachable by humans?
That was his last thought of her.
Phillips’ head her fell down.
Thud.
One of the Empire’s sword masters was killed in battle.
***
“Sorry.”
I licked my lips at Phillips’ corpse.
If everyone had come, even the emperor, things would have been easier.
Originally, it was information to catch the emperor.
A report he had written, hoping to get as far away from the imperial palace and the capital as possible.
The emperor’s army started to move, and even the nobles and barbarians were moving in the yard.
It was an operation carried out to somehow reduce the scale of the civil war.
An appropriate trap in which a number of plausible plans and information were collected and written down.
I thought that information about the emperor’s most desired empress, Cecilia, would be able to bring him out.
‘Was it not enough?’
The emperor sent the captain of the guard instead.
This, too, was not within expectations.
There is no harvest at all.
I killed the sword master of the imperial faction and dealt with some of the elite of the Royal Guard in advance.
The absence of a sword master, a small kingdom-class force, would help in some way in the future battle situation.
‘Did I really think he would be here?’
If you look closely, it is full of nonsensical information.
Searching my office. That I don’t know when I’ll come.
In the tight time frame, there probably wasn’t enough time to examine it closely and make a decision.
Since the case was forcibly matched with the correct answer decided in advance, how could it be right?
I clicked my tongue.
It’s broken.
For some reason, the wise emperor completely lost his taste.
To the point where I can’t even judge properly.
Was it simply because of the feeling of betrayal I felt?
‘Was the loss of the empress that great?’
It’s a possibility, but it was all speculation.
I can’t tell.
Unless you meet in person.
I clicked my fingers and clicked my tongue.
Roaring!
The flames of hell that melted even iron at once filled the cave.
Even the corpse of the sword master melted away in an instant.
After confirming that all the evidence was completely gone, I left without regret.

“Cecile, are you okay now?”
“Ymir…”
Small countryside of the empire.
Rutheon Village is filled with the fresh air of nature.
Emily held Cecilia’s hand and went for a walk today.
At first, she said that she would find Leuclide, and Cecilia, who cried out to call him, also calmed down little by little.
“Are the things I’ve been thinking about really true? Ryuclid… Is really…”
“You don’t have to force yourself to think about it. Forget everything now Never mind.”
Her forgotten memories of the past her came back one by one, and little by little Cecilia remembered what she had been through.
As she trembled as she suffered from her terrible past her, Emily stood beside her, holding her hand her.
“If it’s a difficult memory, you can forget it all now. So. Don’t push yourself too hard.”
“Ymir…”
A forgotten name from the past is brought out through Cecil.
After being abandoned by her, her old memories and emotions that she had promised to forget came to her mind.
“Cecile…”
Emily held her hand her tightly.
“Forget about that Ruclid. From now on I will stand by your side So…”
After a moment of hesitation, Emily opened her mouth.
“Marry me.”
“… Are you serious?”
“Of course.”
“By me, Ruclid…”
“It’s okay. I can accept everything.”
Emily’s face her was serious.
She took Cecilia’s hand and opened her mouth once more.
“I was always looking at you. I changed like this to forget you who married Ryuclid… Even now, if only you want.”
“… Good! I really like it. Ymir.”
Cecilia smiled brightly and took Emily’s hand hers.
Emily looked at her with her sad eyes.
Despite Cecil’s permission to marry her, she did n’t seem happy.
“Then, the wind is blowing, so shall we go in?”
“Okay! Hehe, who should wear a suit when they get married? It would be better if Ymir wore it, right? Because Ymir was a man.”
“OK. Cecilia, do whatever you want.”
Emily had a sad smile.
“Do you want to go in first? I have something to see.”
“Okay. Come soon I’ll be waiting for you.”
Emily, who let Cecilia into the house first, went out of her yard biting her lip.
“Did you get it back?”
As if holding back her tears, Maurice appeared in front of Emily outside the yard.
“Ah, Maurice…”
“Cecilia seems to have regained her memories of her, but why is she crying so much?”
“That is…”
After a moment of hesitation, Emily opened her mouth again.
“Short-term memory loss. To keep forgetting her painful memories of her, erasing her memories of her on her own.”
“Is it? That’s why you got married.”
“I want to leave as many happy memories as possible. It was to no avail.”
The way she stretched her shoulders made her look sadder than ever.
“What are you going to do?”
“What?”
“Later, we have to put Cecilia in court as a witness. If she continues to lose her memory of her…”
“Know. But, how is it? You’re having such a hard time.”
“I have to get it back somehow. If not, we have no choice but to use tough measures.”
“Still…”
“The emperor searched my office. They sent troops to the trap they had set beforehand. It won’t be long before you can find it here too.”
“Believe me. I will try to do something.”
I looked at Emily for a while.
“I will believe you.”
“Don’t worry.”
It’s scary to say that.
“Kyaaaaa Ryuclid, where are you!”
The voice of Cecilia, who had lost her memory and screamed at her, echoed through her cabin.
“Have you forgotten?”
“Right.”
It’s a sad repetition. How many times do I have to repeat this?
How much more did Emily’s feelings wear out?
I had no way of knowing.
“Go and see. Come talk to me when things go further.”
“Then.”
I saw Emily’s back her as she returned to the cabin, and I teleported away.
***
“I will start class today.”
The expressions of Seria and Emir, who were in charge of the class, were not very good.
I think it was the cause of the delay for a few days without a word.
