Chapter 152 – Mother and Child Reunion
The western part of the Empire is the place where many ancient beasts have fallen in the past.
It may be because of this that the four seasons are so vivid that the winter is particularly harsh.
The harsh environment naturally produced recalcitrant and strong inhabitants, which has continued to the present day.
Despite the attacks of wild beasts, the inhabitants of the Siberian Territory live steadfastly.
It was also a place that was cut off from the outside world, but…
“Is this the western part of the Empire? It’s the first time I’ve been here myself.”
There was a person standing alone on a ridge outside such a place.
Is the king of the wheel
No matter how strict the boundaries were or the rugged mountains, they were meaningless obstacles in front of her.
It’s only been one day since I left Ratel Kingdom.
The King of Fair Wheels leaped over mountains and ran across rivers to reach the western part of the empire without being noticed by anyone.
She took a small folded lump of cloth from her bosom and tossed it on her dirt floor.
It clattered and grew huge, taking the shape of a tent.
It’s the Imperial Army’s space-distorting barracks.
Even though it was a supply item, it was a very good quality item, but it was on the verge of breaking.
Unsurprisingly, the tent, which had been making a crackling sound, collapsed with a large crack as if something fatal had occurred.
– Udang-tang-tang!
With a loud noise, furniture such as a bed, a refrigerator, and several people who do not know how they entered the small tent jumped out.
After rolling on the floor, they looked at the tent and clicked their tongues.
“Oops… It’s broken in the end. After all, if you insert a creature into it and make it smaller, it’ll break soon.”
“It’s a good thing, but it’s a pity.”
“For the price of that tent, I could buy 20 pack horses.”
It was the princess and her party who came out of the tent.
Except for Shin Eun-seo, who was entrusted with the defense of the main unit, and Tia, who was not a combatant, everyone was gathered.
Even the lute.
The blue-haired knight bowed to the King of the Wheel and got down on one knee.
“You have worked hard, Your Majesty.”
“This is nothing.”
Although Lute lost his loyalty to the princess, he still maintained a respectful attitude.
It’s just that the fire of loyalty that once filled those clear eyes is no longer visible…
‘I’m not in a position to say anything to Lute either.’
The King of Fair Wheels himself fell into a female who was thoroughly trained by Gongju-in.
It was already too late to feel the subtle pleasure of such self-deprecating thoughts.
He didn’t even want to escape from the clutches of the princess.
No, on the contrary, thinking like that made me feel rejected.
Thinking of him like this, the princess always flirts with various women.
She is still playing with Kang Jia’s ears.
Jia Kang also hated being touched by her ears or her tail, but now she is wagging her tail happily.
Jealousy welled up in the heart of the king of charades, but he decided not to show it on his face for now, fearing that he would be punished severely again.
“It’s a pity the tent is gone, but we arrived safely. Now is the time to hurry.”
“I know. Anyway, if you knew it was going to be like this, you would have been in your armor? It’s the king’s armor, so it’s stronger than a tent.”
The princess looked wistfully at the remains of her tent.
It was said that it was an old item, but it seemed to be attached to it.
“There is a space warping magic inside the pocket, but it is used to store weapons and belongings, so the capacity is not large. I don’t know how one person can fit.”
“I see… Let’s go down. I don’t know the geography here, so I’ll guide you.”
“Should I go down?”
It was Eleonor Greypoint who intervened.
As she snapped her fingers, the air around her throbbed and she fell silent in an instant.
Surprisingly, she lifted her feet and stood in the air above her.
She appeared to be climbing a transparent staircase.
“I’ll look like a stranger in the eyes of the residents, so let’s fly through the sky without causing a discord for nothing. Think of it as a wagon made of storms, and everyone get on it. Instead, would it be okay if I take a little bit of your mana?”
“Kya, it’s Elo. It’s killing me. Let’s do that.”
“There is no need to receive magic from everyone. This much is borne by Jim.”
“I’m strong. Please take good care of me.”
The King of Fair Wheels intervened, sending Eleonol a look of restraint.
Eleanor was a very rare talent who could compete with the King of Wheels, even if the condition of being a strategic magician was attached.
It was something I couldn’t help but become conscious of.
Eleanor, too, was wary of the King of Fair Wheels with overwhelming beauty.
The princess and her party soon crossed the sky and headed to the center of the territory.
The territory of the Grand Duke of Siberia was so wide that it could be called the western part of the empire, but it didn’t seem like it would take that long as it traveled by the wind.
The Princess assured her that if she kept this pace, he would arrive a day later, and she did.
The next morning, through the thick clouds of dawn, I could see Lisbon, the center of the Archduke’s residence.
Since the city is located on a fairly high ground, the terraced fields made of layers were spectacular.
“Is there a Grand Duke there?”
“Well. He’s a man who suffers from hunting beasts all year round. If you’re lucky, you’ll be there.”
“The famous ancient beasts of the deep sea. A pair of ancient beasts that escaped to the depths of the sea where humans cannot reach. An old disaster that they give birth to babies every day for tens or hundreds of years and send them to the surface… Am I right? ?”
“That’s right. You can’t fight in the water, and it’s such a hassle. That’s why the Archduke here can’t leave his seat…”
“Wait, be careful! Something is coming!”
As Kang Ji-ah, who has sharp senses, ears pricked up, the King of Parryun’s warning fell.
The powerful yet clear shout made the listeners tense up.
The King of Fair Wheels was looking down.
The mansion below.
The misty mansion of the Grand Duke of Siberia was dyed red.
After a while, a fiercely burning flame came crashing in, sticking out its head like a serpent.
A torrent of flames that instantly narrowed a distance of over a hundred meters.
I saw a red-haired woman stepping on the tip and flying away.
“Is the author Cain, the Grand Duke of Siberia? In terms of the number of troops she handles, she is the best strategic magician in the empire and a person of power second only to the emperor.”
“…Mrs. Personality is still the same. But I’m lucky. To meet right away like this.”
Rarely did the princess grunt and frown.
“Who is invading the airspace of the Grand Duke of Siberia! Stop immediately and reveal your identity. If you do not respond, we will shoot you down.”
It was a blazing voice.
It was an exclamation befitting one who commands a large number of people.
People who use flame magic often say that their personality is also fiery, but judging from their voice and way of speaking, Cain Siberia seemed to be the same.
Her immortal king was about to step out, but her princess stopped her.
In fact, he was said to be the biological son of the Grand Duke of Siberia.
The one who had to step in here was the princess.
“It’s been a while, Your Highness.”
“Rude bastard. I would have ordered you to reveal your identity.”
The Archduke paused his words as if startled.
Her maturity was felt, but her expression, still a young beauty with abundant magic, was strangely disturbed.
As if she had discovered something completely unexpected.
She was examining the princess’s face carefully.
After a while, the Grand Duke moved the snake’s head made of fire and climbed up to where they were.
When Eleonor removed the wind barrier, the Grand Duke jumped down and rode into the transparent carriage.
Next moment.
– Damn!
“How did you come here!”
The Grand Duke drew a neat trajectory and slapped the princess on the cheek.
Since the princess herself didn’t move, she landed her clean blows without anyone interfering.
The princess was indifferent as if she didn’t care as her lips parted and wiped her blood.
“Are you slapping the cheek first off a bastard you haven’t seen in a while?”
“From the day you neglected your responsibilities and left the territory, you are no longer my child.”
“It was. He said he would sell family registers when he left the door, and he really did. He’s such a big man.”
“It’s your choice, so I won’t discuss it anymore. But Lia, who believed in you and followed you! You couldn’t protect that child. You know it’s embarrassing to secretly bring back the body and hold a funeral…!”
“…”
The princess did not answer.
He accepted the Archduke’s rebuke without question.
It was unusual for him to always act impudently when dealing with anyone.
“How much Leah followed you… You ugly bastard.”
“Princess, why didn’t you say anything? What you did was not meaningless. You were in Rome…”
Her ‘dancing with wolves’ intervened and tried to defend her, but the princess stopped her.
“It’s okay. It’s true that Leah died. I could have prevented it.”
“But…”
“Your Highness, I have something to tell you. Not as a son, but as a citizen of the Empire, it’s fine. Can I go down and talk to you?”
“Hmm…”
After thinking for a moment, the Grand Duke nodded his head obediently.
If a princess had something to say as a citizen, he could not ignore it as a grand duke.
“Come down.”
“Thank you.”
“And…”
The Grand Duke drew on his horse.
“I’m glad you’re safe so far.”
After hearing the words of the Grand Duke after hesitating several times, the princess smiled.
She is as much a woman as she is hot-tempered.
The princess knew that well.
The reason why the Grand Duke reprimanded him was that she had loved Lia so much.
The Princess and the Grand Duke lowered their altitude and set foot in the middle of the mansion.
Beautiful flowers bloomed beautifully in the neatly arranged garden.
Some of them had been reduced to ashes by the fire the Archduke had just spewed out.
The grand duke, who landed with his fiery red hair fluttering, looked back at the princess.
“So, what are you going to talk about after gathering a bunch of women?
“Ah, I hope so.”
The princess laughed.
He said calmly.
“Actually, I’m going to rebel, so please help me.”
“…What?”
The Grand Duke opened his mouth.
