Chapter 42 – 05. What? No King?
* * *
“Then, I’ll be back. I hope His Highness her achieves her goal her without any harm.”
“Bye.”
The Viscount led an army of 200,000 and set out to defeat Cora.
In order to make Yangdong like Yangdong, Aran decided to wait a little longer before sending out.
“So, what’s the strategy really? It’s right before the dispatch, so it’s okay to know?”
Hancock asked.
“…Why don’t you come a little closer?”
“I’m just doing my best because Your Highness hates me.”
“It can’t be… I can’t hate the Count.”
“Hee! Then, am I going through the same thing as yesterday…!”
The same thing as yesterday, she says, is to swallow Aran’s urine.
Aran wrapped up his goal.
“I’m not an enemy, and I don’t particularly have any ill feelings, but I’m not like that.”
“Still, isn’t His Highness a brute? Safety must always be taken care of.”
“Anyway, come closer.”
She was about 10 meters away.
“Well then, with permission, I’ll go a little closer. This Seong-eun…”
Really moved a little bit.
It’s embarrassing to even call it a single step.
If measured with a ruler, it would be about 30 cm.
“…”
When the opponent came out like that, the joke kicked in.
Aran used Sunbo to go back behind Hancock.
When she didn’t have mana she couldn’t use it, but now that mana is virtually infinite, she had no trouble.
‘I’m avoiding it like this, but I’d be very surprised if I secretly approached and touched it.’
It was a really cute intention.
But,
“Line..”
“!!”
As he turned back and was about to put his hand on her shoulder her, his gaze her turned sharply.
He defeated Aran with a surprisingly neat kick.
“…?”
“Ah…”
Suddenly, Aran’s gaze saw her expression stained with bewilderment, followed by her excruciating pain in her.
“Ugh!”
It felt like her back her was being cut.
“I’m sorry!”
Hancock gave a mischievous look and hurriedly chanted.
It was magic that could heal simple trauma.
‘I saw through my movements…!’
Or not,
Although Aran felt the pain, he couldn’t hide her doubts of her.
Although he has little experience, his pure swordsmanship and his rivals that of a 6th tier knight.
No, he is equipped with mana, so if he accumulates experience well, he will be able to show the strength of a 6th tier knight or higher.
However, it was so easy to see through his movements that he even counterattacked.
“Count.”
“..Yes. Your Highness.”
She flinched slightly.
For whatever reason, the prince was carried to the ground.
“You’re amazing. I didn’t expect my movements to be detected so easily.”
“Ah… Haha… I did it reflexively…”
Hancock smiles shyly.
“Isn’t he a 5-tier knight? Anyway, he wasn’t a young fool.”
“Ba, idiot! It’s not!”
She took her glasses from her bosom and pretended to hold them out.
“I can’t be an idiot for preparing an artifact myself to overcome my blood phobia!”
“…You were still doing that setting?”
“Ugh. It’s not a setting. Your Highness.”
Before I knew it, I became the usual Hancock and Aran.
He smiled slightly and stroked her hair.
Her height her was right up to Aran’s chest, so it was in the right position.
“Hohehehehe!!”
“?”
“Hey, now you’ve decided to eat me! Sprinkle urine on my little body… And finally… Hee!”
“…If delusion is enough, that’s Tier 6.”
.
.
.
Aran bit her and entered her thoughts alone.
When Hancock was present, it was moderately passed, but it was also difficult to overlook his movement.
Even Illyana can see his first step when he moves in earnest, but not after that.
But that…
“I’m sure he’s hiding his skills his…”
Besides, it’s not the end even if you look at it. The instantaneous power to respond to the moving vision is also required.
“Why are you hiding it? If you have that skill, I think you can become a duke…”
Illyana seemed unaware of Hancock’s skills his.
If I had known, I wouldn’t have attached him to the level of Aran’s adjutant.
“I’m sure he’s not a spy. He said he had a bloody fight with his mother his…”
Judging from her usual appearance of her, she thought it could not be, but she decided to watch it for the time being.
* * *
“…Why is your sister here?”
Juana shows off that she doesn’t like her.
She tried to end the war quickly by dispersing her forces, but Illyana joined her with her 80,000 troops of her.
“Don’t do that too much. I sent Aran to occupy the city, so she should be able to win quickly enough.”
“…The reason I suggested dividing the army is to eliminate the waste of troops. This is meaningless.”
“What are you doing? Weren’t they properly divided into three groups?”
“…”
Juana silently glared at Illyana.
Who doesn’t know that
Illyana’s mere presence her steals her credit for her.
She’s a tier 5 knight, and since she’s her eldest daughter her, all her credit goes to her her.
Even if Karma was captured by moving her army in this state, people would surely praise her achievements of her, saying, ‘As expected, Her Highness of her, Princess Illyana!’
That was absolutely not desirable for Juana, who was aiming for her next imperial throne.
“Well, I’m not happy with the waste of troops either. After proceeding north like this and merging Karma and Gyu-win, wouldn’t it be better to split left and right after that?”
“…”
It’s the expression that I don’t like all the time.
Illyana smiled bitterly.
Maybe she does not know her Juana’s heart her.
“…As you know, I’m not interested in the Emperor. My wish is to see the tip of the sword. So there’s no need to worry.”
“Your sister may be, but her mother her is different.”
“She’s a mother, and she knows my heart well.”
“Emperor is set up by her mother and nobles. Her sister’s doctor doesn’t mean much. You know.”
“You know my personality, too.”
“…”
“Relax. Among our sisters, you are the only one interested in the throne.”
She tapped the table.
“If you really don’t like it, you’ll take over as commander-in-chief. I’ll stand down.”
“…Fine. I will lead this war.”
Illyana let out a sigh of relief.
“By the way, sister.”
“Yes?”
“Why did you entrust the city to that man?”
“Are you still calling Aran that way?”
“Please answer me.”
“…Because Aran needs the ball.”
“Why do you care so much? Aren’t you a stranger?”
“Now we are brother and sister.”
Juana glared at her slightly.
It’s a raw guy, but they’re siblings.
Couldn’t admit it.
“…Hmph. Well, that’s true. But as a man, can you capture the enemy king? There must be many knights with excellent skills.”
She still says Aran doesn’t like her.
It seemed like it would be quite tough for Aran to score on her.
“If they die or are taken hostage, it will do them harm.”
“There’s no need to worry about that. Mana must have bloomed, Aran can become a first-class knight if she has enough experience.”
“A single knight cannot dominate the battlefield! Standing back one hundred paces, even if he is a 5th tier knight, it is absurd that a man command the army!”
“You… Your head is very hard.”
“Hmph. I just said the obvious.”
Men are useless
Weaker than women
The hair is worse than the woman.
So no matter what position he is in, he cannot go to war.
That is the orthodoxy
So even though Illyana felt bitter, she couldn’t really argue against it.
Because it doesn’t make any sense to do it.
Juana was very strong in that way, so if they got into an argument for nothing, she would only be at odds with each other at a crucial time.
‘If this child becomes emperor… What will happen to Aran?’
“Then, Juana, just watch it this time. If Aran fails, can’t you just step back then?”
“What would you do if you were taken prisoner by the enemy?”
“I’ll bring you.”
“This is nonsense! A country’s princess would risk her life just for something like that?!”
“It’s just that! Aran is my younger brother.”
“Ha…. Sister, come to your senses. The man was only briefly seen by his mother’s whim.”
“You think so. I am different.”
“…”
Juana bit her lip tightly.
He looked pretty angry.
She took a deep breath and calmed her anger.
And silence for a while.
Her lips finally opened as if she had made up her mind.
“Okay. If you really think so, let’s watch it. Instead, if we lose the battle, we’ll go straight to the last line.”
“I get it.”
* * *
“Did you hear that?”
“What?”
“That Your Highness is running away!”
Male voice
“What does that mean?”
Suddenly, people gathered around her.
“Vasa’s large army is gathered right below, so he avoids to preserve his body his!”
“Oh my God…Then what about us?”
“You’re going to die!”
Queen Yerina is preparing her escape her to preserve her own body her.
Rumors of it began to circulate all over the city.
At first, it rode in the mouths of merchants in the streets, and then spread like flames in the mouths of customers.
Upon learning of this belatedly, she tried her hand at rowing, but she was already out of control.
Hundreds of people protested in front of the palace, and complaints from nobles rained down.
“What are you going to do with this?”
“…”
When the situation became serious, Yerina called Yekaterina.
“Didn’t things get to this point after I did what you said!”
“…”
While she herself agreed to go ahead with her work on her, she shifted all of her responsibility onto Catherine.
She was furious with such a queen, but she tried to feign her composure.
“Your Highness. It can’t be helped. From the point of view of the people, it’s like abandoning themselves, so no matter what reason you give, it will end up like this.”
“Are you trying to evade responsibility with your three tongues!”
“It’s not like that. I’m just telling you the truth. Even if Your Highness burns the jade body and fights against it, the people who don’t know anything end up complaining to You. So please ignore this incident.”
“If you ignore it? If you ignore it, won’t public sentiment get worse!”
She bit Ekaterina like a hedgehog taking her chance.
The high-pitched sound stimulated the princess’s nerves and made her tremble.
I thought I wanted to hit him right away and protest.
But this is the King’s face.
You can never reveal anything like that.
“I’m not following your words…”
The queen sighed in regret.
It made the princess more miserable than her screams her.
“Go back.”
The princess’ expression was greatly distorted as she nodded and left her room.
