Chapter 161 – Episode 160. I Am Calling You (2)
“Wait for me.”
Astrid didn’t readily understand Veracien’s words.
Astrid couldn’t understand why Astain had to wait for her.
“… Because of the blessing?”
She had already heard that Astain was collecting blessings, so she knew.
Therefore, Astrid thought that this meant that she was waiting for Astrid to come in order to obtain this divine protection, divine martial arts, and divine power that Astrid possesses.
“There will be that too.”
“But right now, I have the confidence to beat you to death right in front of you.”
Astrid opened and closed his fists again and again, curling up the corners of his mouth.
It was never an empty word.
If he were in front of his eyes right now, if Astain was in front of him, he would have the confidence to separate her head and body immediately.
If it wasn’t for that, he was sure to kill it like that, and if not, he would kill it slowly, very slowly and painfully.
If he couldn’t kill right away, he was confident that he would rather make him beg to be killed.
“Oh, calm down. Who doesn’t know Who doesn’t know what will happen if you run into Astain?”
Vera Shien laughed and waved her hand.
Anyone who has a brain and can think will know.
At least not one of the people here knows what will happen if Astrid runs into Astein.
“God bless you, but Astain has always had her eyes on you.”
“What else… “
“They say they’ve been targeting you for a very long time.”
Astrid shut his mouth at those words.
Her head, which had suddenly risen in heat, cooled down in an instant.
The cold reason and the sensibility that calmly analyzes the situation control Astrid now.
A long time ago… If you say
Astrid’s guess was correct.
Due to the nature of the northern region, where it is difficult to go to school, he hired a resident tutor.
That tutor must have been Astein.
Then, from then on, at least from the point when Astrid was only five or six years old, Astein had been aiming for Astrid…
“This is a pure pervert.”
“I can’t say no.”
Goosebumps sprout on her arms.
Astrid, who was still close to being a baby, let alone a woman,
At least it was Astrid who had been handling swords since that age, but anyway.
It gives me goosebumps for targeting such Astrid.
Leopold was looking at Astrid.
Goose bumps like hives formed on her slender, white forearms exposed under her dress.
There was an indescribable disgust in her eyes.
“He’s a guy I can never forgive.”
Leopold wrapped his arms around Astrid’s shoulders.
Astrid was startled for a moment, but soon embraced Leopold without much resistance.
Leopold slowly looked around at her, her Vera Shien, and Eranya.
“Here, Astrid, is my woman. She will be the wife of a man named Leopold, she will furthermore she will become the crown princess, and furthermore she will be the mother of this Eindhafen Empire. To have such a false and absurd feeling towards Astrid… “
Leopold took a moment to catch his breath.
He calms his excitement and clears her mind.
“I will definitely kill you. I will never forgive you.”
“Majesty… “
Astrid’s eyes turned to Leopold.
Seeing that gaze that must have been deeply moved by her, Leopold looked at her and nodded her head.
“I will never give up mine. Because it is mine.”
“… Don’t ask Did you talk about it after catching Astain? Anyway, did you organize what I told you well?”
Veracien asked Leopold.
Even if she thought about it, her information was a bit fragmented, so it was questionable whether this would be properly organized, but Leopold nodded her head as if there was no problem.
“Verasien, tell me the location of the tower you know in as much detail as possible. I’ll send troops there to search for it. And we… Let’s hit Astain right away.”
“I think that is wise. It would be faster to get rid of Astain first than to destroy the tower.”
“Okay, two days later. Two days later, with the personnel here, let’s raid Astain’s location. In the meantime, take a good rest and recover your condition.”
“Yea, I got it.”
Astein was now not far away.
Not physical distance, but psychological distance.
In two days, I will definitely cut Astain’s head.
Slit Astain’s head and honor her academy… It ends in the form of early graduation, not discharge.
And marry Astrid as the legitimate heir to the throne without any blemish on her qualifications.
Leopold had only thought of that from the beginning.
“Oh, have a good time.”
“See you tomorrow.”
Erania and Veracien came out and closed the door.
And at the sound of the door closing, Eranya remembered what she had been forgetting all along.
“Hey, Berashien.”
“Huh?”
Eranya said to Vera Shien as she walked behind the attendant who escorted her to her room.
“That, Violet and the others. I didn’t say they were coming too, okay?”
I wondered what it would be like, but Eranya asked Veracien just in case.
I don’t think those guys will act as a variable, but there’s one thing at a time.
“Hmm… What would be okay I don’t think they’ll be of any help anyway.”
Vera Shien seemed to think her thoughts were not too different.
*
Every time I breathed, there was a gurgling, gurgling sound.
It is to the point that I wonder if the main force that has been squeezed to the limit is now to squeeze out the life force.
Astain sighed and squeezed every last drop of her blood dripping from her fingertips into the spell.
Came here alone
In the meantime, thanks to the contract with Veracian, I was able to make gin easily, but
Now that the contract has been completely cut off, he had to draw Jin only with his own strength.
“This guy… It’s that guy.”
There isn’t a single one that I like all of them.
At most, he thought he had made a contract with a demon belonging to the great nobility, but
Actually, that demon was a crazy bitch who was only looking for fun, so it wasn’t helpful at all.
The chief who lent his strength to unite the savage tribes that had been scattered in the northern territories in recent decades—
“I guess it’s a bit difficult.”
What does it mean?
Where is the good timing like now?
Astain felt wildfire burning inside, and he managed to suppress the urge to scream.
“Hey, Angrecchio. What do you think is the reason you were able to unite the north?”
The tired eyelids twitched thinly over and over again.
Pressing his quivering eyelids with his fingers, Astain sighed inwardly, saying that he had a headache.
“I know it’s because of Astain-sama, but the silver butcher isn’t back right now. As long as the butcher is there, all-out war is… ”
“Whether it’s a butcher or a Nabal!”
Astain couldn’t stand it until the end and slammed the table and shouted.
The wind shakes the pieces of the spell he drew with the blood squeezed from his fingers a moment ago.
“Do you guys think that if it wasn’t for me in the first place, you would have been able to live in the north? “
Astain’s voice was trembling.
I don’t know how to quell the anger that has filled his head.
“That must have been the reason why your salvation was delayed at that time!? And because of that, the kingdom that should have been mine was destroyed! Are you saying that you will not cooperate with me again even though I, the rightful heir, has appeared, who will now take back the kingdom?!”
“Isn’t that what you said?”
Angrecchio, a grim-looking chieftain with a bare upper body covered in brown bearskin, looked embarrassed.
Without the silver butcher Astrid von Mitterien, the all-out war now, without Wolfgang and Ashley, was a gamble worth taking. Besides, there is also Astain.
But isn’t the butcher back?
Even if the warrior whose head was blown off because he laughed at her as a woman and attacked her is not enough even if he counts all ten fingers and ten toes.
In the midst of that, no matter how much Astain helped, pushing into an all-out war was no different from a futile waste of troops.
“I will lure Astrid, so fulfill the contract. Is it because you can’t even rob a house without Astrid in that estate without Wolfgang or Ashley!?”
Angrecchio licked his lips.
Even if it was Astain, I didn’t want to give him the initiative to this extent.
Although he had his strength, now his tribe is a large tribe that unites this northern territory.
He couldn’t show Astain being dragged helplessly with a leash.
But-
Now that the situation has come this far, there is nothing I can do about it.
“… Let’s do it. Then, the advance is in two days, is there any problem?”
“Okay. Two days later. Do it.”
Nothing bad anyway.
There is neither Wolfgang nor Ashley.
Astrid is the only stumbling block, but it is said that Astain lures it,
It is literally an empty house.
In the meantime, it wouldn’t be a bad story if they could capture the Mitterien estate.
If it’s possible, if Astrid and Astain get to know each other, there’s no better story than that.
A favorable situation anyway.
Engre Kio nodded his head, saying he would go out in two days.
Preparations for war have already been completed.
Only departure is left.
