Chapter 46 – Arrest – 2
Angry
Chloe clenched her fists.
In the end, she was unaware of the slave guild’s intentions.
She checked the documents herself and even took a field trip once. How meticulously the opponent prepared and how innovatively he hid it is, in the end, just an excuse.
Noble Sword, Noble Shield. The beloved master’s tool. She couldn’t help but feel that her honor and allegiance were insulted to Chloe Tristan by having her take on such a trivial task herself.
“Chloe?”
“… Sorry. I’ve been thinking about it for a while Then, as I prepared in advance, I will go to the alley toward the exit.”
“Yes. Then I’ll ask you.”
He smiled at Serene, the knight of his motive, who looked at him with a worried gaze, but he saw through that it was a fake smile.
There is a mistake that neither Serene nor her unit could find anything suspicious to them at the castle gate. Knowing that, neither Serene’s face nor her troops behind her were in good shape.
“Since Serine is there, I have nothing to say.”
Chloe is Leoric Franz’s direct subordinate and has no right to meddle with Serene and her troops, but no one is pointing that out here.
Leoric Franz.
The second son of the Franz family. Hidden secret weapon. A fortune-teller rumored to be on par with his eldest son and heir, Aidan Franz, simply in terms of magical power.
Although he has not been active outwardly until now, hiding behind the scenes, it is inevitable that people’s attention will be drawn to the actions of Leoric Franz, who recently started his activities.
Starting with the method of selecting articles from his aides, the existence of a research team organized as his direct subordinate and the camera the team created were unconventional ideas that could not come out of their common sense.
A knight close to him. An escort knight, the sword of Leoric Franz.
Chloe Tristan’s eyes burned blue.
“He came out himself.”
“Um…”
No one noticed.
It’s not Chloe or Serene’s problem. It is a problem for the knights of all units.
It is said that Leoric Franz didn’t blame them, but that means he didn’t even expect it in the first place. Even if you guys didn’t feel this, it’s such a great skill that you can understand.
He praised the means of the mere enemy rather than himself, who would become his hands, feet, and sword. Humiliation. Could there be a greater insult to a knight than this? No, there won’t be
That alone was enough to make him angry. Chloe gritted her teeth.
– Pudeuk!
“To commit any more mistakes than this should not happen before the honor of the Franz family, even for our own honor.”
Make up for mistakes
A trickle of blood flowed from Chloe’s mouth, but no one cared.
They, too, were gritting their teeth to control the emotions boiling inside.
Chloe’s words were simple.
He fully grasped the strength of the Slave Merchant, but there was a high possibility that the knights had hidden other means in an unnoticed way.
But that’s no excuse.
I couldn’t do it because of the unexpected means of my enemies. We couldn’t figure it out with our skill. To do such a cowardly thing… The article that makes this excuse.
Franz doesn’t need it.
“Not honor.”
Chloe raised her sword.
Recently, she took out her beloved sword that was kept in her room without taking care of it.
Correspondingly, the knights of all units, including Serin, also put their hands on the handle of the sword.
“It was a problem before pursuing chivalry.”
Honor or chivalry. Everything the knights pursue.
It is only possible after completing the minimum role.
Can a knight who has not even fulfilled that role be called a knight?
At that question, Chloe shook her head. Before pursuing chivalry, even if one’s honor is tarnished, the first priority is the order given by the respected master.
For the sake of his master, a knight must fulfill his role even in death.
“Everything for Franz.”
Blue magic began to flow through Chloe’s body.
“Fal sword!”
-Visor!
At the same time as Serene’s words ended, the magical energy that had been waiting in their bodies crouched in their bodies covered them.
“Operation begins!”
As soon as Serene finished speaking, they spurred the ground and moved in an instant.
Like light, they move in an instant, spurring through the alleys of the city, the walls and rooftops of buildings.
Watching their movements, Chloe also began to move slowly.
Moving to the pre-planned location, Chloe squeezed the grip of her sword.
* * *
Description of the battle.
Their purpose. Or, in fact, this guy was a good guy too.
No need for such an excuse.
Serene and her troops steadily began to subdue the enemies. Sudden surprise. A huge difference in power. In the end, there was no way for them, who were mere slaves, to resist.
“Aaaaagh!”
“Sah, save me!”
Despite all kinds of screams, the knights dutifully subdue the targets they have decided to be enemies.
In the process, the flesh of the slaves is cut and the bones are broken, but there is no problem. Don’t kill it, but Because I was ordered that way, I act that way.
Even anger is controlled, and only efficiently subdues enemies.
“My, Zenzaang!”
-Visor!
There are one or two who resist the process, but in the end they are subdued in vain. Slavery in the end. Ultimately, adventurer level magic. It’s not that I’m ignoring them, but I have no choice but to be subdued in the end in front of the angry knights.
Seeing them like that, the bald middle-aged merchant quickly ran away from the inn.
-Tattat!
“Huh, huh… !”
The bald merchant let out a heavy breath as he ran down the winding roads of his back alley.
How, how did you notice?
The method of hiding magic was perfect. It was thoroughly checked in advance, and so far there has been no case of being caught.
In fact, while passing through Franz Outer Castle, he was not noticed by the knights.
… Yes! For the knights!
‘Le, Leoric Franz!’
That’s him!
That nobility is the cause!
He was an ordinary young man on the outside, and he didn’t seem to notice anything when he appeared out of nowhere. In fact, even when he was watching the slaves, he seemed to observe them closely, but he didn’t seem to pay attention to where they were.
“Damn it!”
Was it all acting?
Where are the female slaves, the bronze-skinned beauty of Greutys, and all her sensuality is a lie, just acting while wearing the mask of a playful aristocrat!
I knew the reputation of the Franz family, but to think there was a man like that. That’s not an heir, but a mere second son.
What do you mean?
“You have to run… !”
To that place… , No!
If you leave the thing alone and run away, you will end up dead. Run away unknown to anyone and live in hiding until the pursuer is gone!
“Heuk!”
The bald merchant ran to the wall of the outer castle while remembering the treasured item in his bosom.
If you run a little more… !
-Tboob!
“Wow!”
Dark alley.
The end of the road where only the bald merchant ran.
The bald merchant stopped in fright at the sudden appearance of a person.
“Who, who are you!”
Gulp.
At the words of the bald merchant, who swallowed saliva and shouted, the person who appeared in the shadow of the building began to approach and reveal itself.
“You, you… !”
The person who appeared in the shadows was a small woman with silver hair and blue eyes wrapped in her glasses.
I’ve seen that look before.
This afternoon, along with a nobleman who suddenly appeared, the woman behind him.
Although she did not seem to be a simple woman.
– Dalgrak!
The bald merchant’s eyes trembled at the sound of the sheath attached to the woman’s waist. She’s a merchant who doesn’t feel magical, but she’s not so insensitive to this atmosphere that she even notices it.
“Hey, are you a knight! Damn it! Damn it!”
The female knight, Chloe Tristan, who appeared at such a bald merchant, looked at her blue eyes and opened her mouth.
“Today is a truly humiliating day.”
Chloe pulled a small box from her bosom, opened her lid, and carefully stowed away her glasses, which were rough on her eyes.
“It’s the first time I’ve been humiliated like this.”
That box… With the case of her spectacles back in her arms, Chloe Tristan carefully caressed the box from her bosom over her clothes.
An item bestowed by a respected owner.
Do you deserve to wear this today?
No, no
Gritting her teeth, Chloe glared at her bald merchant.
“And that, of course, in front of the master whom he desperately adores.”
“Damn it… !”
– Dalgrak.
Chloe placed the hilt of the sword at her waist in her hand.
The sound echoed through the quiet alley.
Suddenly, the faint sounds behind the bald merchant’s back began to diminish.
“Hey, I can’t die here… !”
Fear and anger.
A smile appeared on Chloe’s lips as she looked at the bald merchant who reflected it in her pupils.
“Don’t worry.”
“… What?”
-Sureung.
A cold sound rings out.
“A descendant of our great Golden Lion. He is very benevolent.”
Blue magical energy began to shimmer around Chloe’s body.
A deep swelling.
It was an omen that even a bald merchant with no magic could notice.
Everything around me started shaking in the aftermath of the force.
“Especially, my master is very good at mana control. To the extent that even the difficult treatment is performed naturally.”
A blue magical light wrapped around Chloe Tristan.
The quiet, dark alleyway gradually brightens. In the alley surrounded by blue magical light, Chloe Tristan pointed at the bald merchant with her sword fully raised.
“Even if your limbs are cut off and your body is punctured, as long as your head and heart are intact, they will save you.”
So don’t even think about closing your eyes.
