Chapter 120 – Kin of the Emperor
“Can I say that?”
The Wolf Dancer spoke as he carefully rode his horse down the slope at the foot of the mountain where he was hiding.
It was downhill, so it was perfect for breaking my leg if I made the horse run recklessly.
Because the horses were driven so slowly, there was almost no sound of hoofs, and even whispered conversations could be heard by each other.
“What do you mean?”
“You promised that pink woman that you would bring down the emperor.”
“Ah…”
The pink woman must have meant Elroy.
Elroy said by now she should be back where she belongs.
It was truly heartbreaking to say her second goodbye to the tearful Elroy.
But that didn’t stop her from going back with her determination to serve the men she was responsible for.
Because I like that kind of thing about her.
The more virtuous she is with Elroy, the more she melts into me and the more I feel when she flirts with me.
“To defeat the emperor is on a different level from what I’ve done so far.
It would surprise even the gods to say such a thing in the Empire.”
“Hey, you swore to me too.
Will fight for me Even if the opponent was the emperor, he said he would gladly point the gun at him. Did you eat it?”
“Ugh… At that time, um, I was so emotional as the situation was the situation…
That doesn’t mean she didn’t mean what she said.”
Wolf Dancer clapped his hand and said as if making excuses.
Jia and Eunseo, who were listening to the story, also giggled.
I said to her that her face blushed.
“Yeah, sure it won’t be easy.
But I’ve already made up my mind I will defeat the Emperor.”
“Then, does the fact that you’re ignoring the pink woman’s advice and rushing in a straight line have something to do with that goal?”
“Of course. I appreciate Elroy’s concern, but if the enemy’s best forces come alone, thank you. I plan to defeat the emperor. What can I do if I’m afraid of my closest aides?”
“I don’t know if you’re really… Cold-hearted or feral. You’re like a seasoned warrior, but sometimes you’re like a stubborn child.”
“I admit it! Oppa seems to have that kind of side.”
No matter what happens, Wolf Dance and Eunseo follow me without being nervous or shrinking.
Ji-ah is also a bit gloomy because of her worries about the Immortal King, but the enemy who has been looking for her whole life may be in front of her eyes.
The desire itself seemed sufficient.
He didn’t say anything, but he seems to be quietly raising his fighting spirit.
Rudy… He just looks bright.
She’s like a child if you’re a child, but her body is like that of a grown adult, so she looks oddly like an idiot.
“I never thought the emperor’s brother would come to visit. It went very well. After subduing it, I’ll use it as a hostage. People like the emperor are surprisingly fond of their own blood. Giggles…”
“I’m not in a position to point out how mean things are now.
Stop acting like a princess or a bully. Shin Eunseo’s illusions about you are being shattered.”
“Oh, no. You don’t make that face…
You’re always perfect.”
“Shin Eun-seo, why don’t you take a closer look at reality?”
They move while chatting in a quiet voice.
The soldiers’ vigilance, which I had spent a full day yesterday, poked at the poor timing, so we crossed the border without any problems.
To be honest, I think the probability of being caught in the search range of the soldiers was 50%, but I was pretty lucky.
Of course, even if it was caught, it would have been easy to shake off the killifish.
“Wait, everyone. We just crossed the border.”
“Huuu, you really succeeded… Although there are still some relatives of the emperor left.”
When Jia, who was looking at the map, announced this fact, everyone’s tension eased a little.
Wolf Dance let out a sigh of relief.
“I thought something great would happen if I crossed the border, but surprisingly nothing happened.”
“No, Eunseo. We just crossed the barrier your father put up. On the border with the Kingdom of Ratel, once every ten years, with the support of the Empire, a barrier built by Viscount Barrier is installed. It’s a one-way street, so getting out is no problem. I mean.”
“That man.”
Eunseo called her real father that man.
Eunseo’s eyes are very fierce.
“Brother, don’t say that my father is my father. Of course, my brother’s father.
“Huh? I have Doggie, Elroy, Wolf Dancer, and Rudy. After all, I like variety, don’t I?”
“It’s too much! Dealing with your brother’s sexual desire is the duty and right of her little sister’s pussy… Aren’t there too many women for Jia’s older sister? You’re so unreasonable.”
As Eunseo sighed, Wolf Dancer intervened.
“You seem to have some complaints with me.”
“Huh? …I didn’t say it to anyone in particular. Did you get stabbed by any chance?”
“Anyone can see that they are aiming and stabbing, yet opening their mouths well. Well, as an adult, I understand. The princess and I are bound by a strong bond that no one can break. It’s only natural that you feel anxious…”
“What? Someone says they’re nervous! I’m closer to you than anyone else! We’re related by blood!”
When Eunseo got angry, Wolf Dance made a sneer.
The wolf dance is roughly aware of Eun-seo’s suggestion.
Of course, I was well aware that Eunseo and I were actually strangers.
Of course, she didn’t reveal that fact.
“It just happens that we have the same parents, right? In this wide world, among as many people as stars, we are definitely different from the two of us, who are bound by destiny.”
“Iiiiik…”
Eunseo and Wolfchum bicker, and Jia looks at them as if she is pitiful.
She didn’t even feel much of it because she knew that they would reconcile after a while anyway.
But it’s funny how a doggie looks at them with those eyes.
The reason Jia doesn’t get into their fight is because she’s content with her position as my bitch.
She feels joy in giving absolute obedience to her master.
She is giggling and looking at Jia, and at one point her expression sharpened. Judging by her exposed ears and wagging tail, she must have smelled something. After a while, Jia’s face turned blue and the hair on her coveted tail stood upright, expressing her alertness. She reacts furiously, like a traumatized person.
“Are you a bastard?”
“Yes! The smell that I recall every night and remember. The smell I smelled that day when I was young. …It’s the smell of my enemies!!”
Gia growled.
“It’s about two hundred meters from here. He’s not moving. Is he waiting for us?”
“Maybe. And doggie. I’ll tell you in advance, I won’t let you fight alone.”
A low-pitched warning is issued.
If I were Jia, she would have wanted to take revenge on her own.
But I cannot allow such recklessness.
“If you die, I have no choice but to stab my heart again.”
Jia shut her mouth, but as I looked at her prompting her to answer, she immediately lowered her tail.
I clearly saw Jia nodding and stood at the head of the group.
Wolf Dance and Eunseo also grasped the situation and kept their mouths shut.
It was just two hundred meters.
Within a few minutes we reached a clearing where a man with green hair was waiting.
You cut down trees the size of a parade ground.
Did you create a duel on purpose?
In the middle of the clearing, a green-haired man is sitting on a thick tree stump that has been cut down as a chair.
I narrowed my eyes and observed the man’s appearance, but he raised his head.
And I couldn’t help but be startled by the unexpected sight.
“Unbelievable…”
The moment my eyes met the green-haired man, a warrior intuition hit my head. His appearance was normal except for his hair, but his wildness, sharpened by years of experience, sounded a warning to me. What a dangerous adversary Lee is, what power lies behind that tired expression.
“…Master?”
“Knight, what’s wrong?”
“This is lucky.”
“Are you lucky?”
I moved a few steps without answering Jia’s question. To be precise, I couldn’t take my eyes off the man.
The man looked at me as I stopped with about ten steps from him.
Green hair and black eyes. A well-trained body of average height. It looks like it’s between 20 and 30 years old, but it’s probably different.
I felt a significantly greater amount of miasma than I felt from Ventri. But it wasn’t just the amount of miasma that made me feel dangerous. What is truly dangerous is the man’s own ability.
Fortunately, for some reason, the man’s condition was disturbed.
“I was complacent. I don’t think I would have won if I had met you properly. You are such a strong fighter. Emperor’s relative, I will ask you one thing.”
“…What?”
“Are you much stronger than the Emperor?”
Actually, I didn’t expect the man to answer the question.
But surprisingly, the man answered without hesitation.
“Did you recognize it at a glance. Surely so. In the first place, my brother… Your Majesty is not a combatant. Princess, together with you, you are a magician who is unique in handling poisonous weapons. If you can kill me, you will be able to kill Her Majesty without difficulty.”
Hoh… You speak coolly.
It was so cool that I was a little taken aback.
Then the man sighed.
“Haaa…”
“What are you sighing for?”
“As you said, you are lucky. I do not underestimate your ability to defeat Ventry. If it was originally planned, five fingers would have attacked you with me by now. .You can’t win a battle if the Strategic Wizards are away from the battlefield. I had no choice but to send them back to their original positions…”
Well, if five fingers were waiting, I would have turned around and gone too.
That guy knew that too, so he would have sent them back.
By the way, did you send it back?
It doesn’t mean that he burned the wagon and sent it back.
It’s strange that not one, but five of them overtook us and waited first, unless we used some special means of transportation.
“To move people from the ecliptic to this place, from this place to all over the empire. No matter how much I am, I get tired immediately after using such a big magic. I’ll be honest. I seem to have looked down on you too. Won’t be able to.”
“Oh, yes.”
From now on, I will risk my life to fight, but why are you so calm?
Is it cool?
After speaking, the man stood up.
The guy is ready to fight, emitting a powerful life force from his whole body.
It looks like it’s just standing there, but it can never be that.
Blood boils with excitement that can only be felt in a life-and-death fight.
I clenched my fists, feeling my heart pounding.
“Now… Let’s do it.”
When I, who was in the lead, announced the start of the battle, Jia growled in a low voice.
