Chapter 259 – Aaron Is Captured
“What really happened here?”
“If it’s here… Ah!”
At my words, Rina widened her eyes as if she had just remembered something.
Even though she was in a position where she had no authority, she was with my party in the same house right now.
Of course, what happened in the ecliptic must have reached her ears, and as I expected, Lina started telling me about it.
“The crown prince has been captured!”
“Okay?”
It was somewhat expected, but honestly, I didn’t really believe he would be caught.
If he had a brain too, he would at least know that he was at a disadvantage.
Besides, as long as Nebula was by his side of him, he probably would n’t have known that I was the only one going to meet Baal.
“Yes. It made a fuss about it.”
“Was the damage great?”
At my question, Lina slowly shook her head.
As I looked at her with puzzled eyes, Lina added an explanation.
“It appeared suddenly, but was quickly caught.”
“Yes?”
“Because they said there weren’t many people injured.”
I tilted my head at Lina’s words with a puzzled expression.
He must have been fully prepared, but it was strange that the damage was so low.
No, even if I just thought of Nebula right away, it wasn’t something that would go over quietly.
‘I’ll have to hear about it myself.’
I looked at Lina and organized her thoughts like that.
In any case, it was because she felt that the information she knew for sure was limited since she was not directly involved in battle.
“Lina, I have to go to the imperial palace.”
“Oh, oh, yes. It should be.”
At my words, Lina answered me with a puzzled expression.
I tried to hide my emotions as much as I could, but like her quick-wittedness of her, she seemed to sense that I was different from usual.
I let out a light sigh as Lina looked at me as if she had made a big mistake.
Even if Baal was right, it was the goddess’ job, not Lina’s.
“Uh, huh? Why?”
As I approached her silently, Lina asked me with a nervous expression.
I lightly reached out to her and placed her hand on the top of her head and smiled.
“See you at home.”
“Yes!”
At those words, I turned around as I saw Lina smiling as if she was relieved.

“What happened?”
“There is a space under the ecliptic. I didn’t even know there was a place like that.”
It was none other than Mary who answered my question.
Even though she had captured the faction of Aaron, who was the crown prince, and had completely become the emperor of the empire, her attitude did not change at all from before.
“Underground?”
“Yes. I think it was made for evacuation in the past?”
I looked at Mary as she shrugged her shoulders and tilted her head.
It was because he had never even heard of the underground space of the ecliptic in his previous life.
Of course, I couldn’t guarantee that I knew everything about Aaron, and rather, he could have hidden a lot of things from me.
However, I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when a space I didn’t know before suddenly popped up.
“But the damage wasn’t that great?”
Imagining what happened while I was away from the ecliptic, I asked Mary with a more incomprehensible expression.
He would be the same, because he had expected Aaron’s attack from the beginning, but no one knew that he was hiding in the underworld of the ecliptic.
The Holy Knights, including Camarana and Genoa, were all assuming and preparing for an attack from the outside, and of course, unexpected attacks were bound to cause great damage.
“My older brother probably thought that if he killed me, everything would return to normal.”
To my question, Mary said so with her bitter face.
I wondered if he was still saying “Brother” To the guy who was aiming for his neck his, but I could n’t understand Aaron’s poor thinking his more than that.
“Are you normal?”
“Yes. My older brother seems to have believed that if only I died, all his servants his and people his would serve and follow him again. So, as soon as I came out of the basement, I immediately started running toward the imperial palace .”
“So, the damage was small? Why? Everyone must have been guarding the outskirts of the ecliptic?”
“No matter what, the imperial guards remained.”
I asked her with a look that was even more incomprehensible to her Mary’s words to her.
It was true that Stephen, the captain of the guards, was a trustworthy man, but it was too much to deal with the mercenary empress.
“What is Nevura?”
“If you’re talking about the Mercenary Empress, she was imprisoned in the underworld of the ecliptic.”
“Are you locked up?”
I demanded an explanation from Mary, and she slowly told me what had happened.
‘So I betrayed, but didn’t help until the end?’
I felt a strange feeling at the news that Nebula had been imprisoned for trying to stop Aaron’s actions instead of helping them.
My intention to plant her hesitation was successful, but it was also true that I felt a bit regretful.
Perhaps, if she had definitely turned to me, Aaron wouldn’t have dared aim for the imperial palace.
‘I’ll have to hear what happened later.’
“So you got caught by Steven?”
I thought that Aaron, who acted recklessly without Nebula, would have been subdued, but Mary shook her head again at my words her.
“No. Sir Stephen couldn’t catch his brother his.”
“What?”
Looking at me with a look of incomprehension, Mary continued her explanation.
According to Mary’s explanation, Steven still felt reluctant to hold Aaron, who at least once had the status of the crown prince, with his own hands.
So, even when they saw Aaron running away, they did not dare to pursue it, and they hoped that he would run away and live quietly somewhere.
And that’s what Stephen said when he left his seat after everything was over, so it was a certain story.
“By the way, I heard you caught Aaron?”
I waited for Mary’s next story, intrigued by the increasingly bizarre twists and turns.
Mary glanced at me and continued the story behind it.
“My brother did not run away. The next destination he chose was the home of the hero.”
Simplicity and honesty.
At Mary’s words her, I unknowingly broke the armrest of her chair her.
That’s why he came to my house, because he knew right away without thinking too much about it.
“Lina… Did you aim?”
When I asked in one voice to live, Mary swallowed her saliva and nodded her head.
Honestly, it couldn’t have been a story that sent goose bumps down my spine.
Because there was only Lina, the ghetto old man, and Lina’s father at home.
Normally, my party would have been together in that house, but as the situation was, everyone would have been guarding the outskirts of the ecliptic to be wary of Aaron.
The reason I was able to keep her sanity was because I had confirmed with my own eyes that Lina was safe, and she had n’t heard anything about her family from her.
“I understand you’re upset, but luckily nothing happened.”
“I know, because I saw her before I came here. But what happened?”
“Miss Ena caught him.”
“What?”
I looked at her with a puzzled look at her words of Lina, which I hadn’t thought of.
It was understandable, of course, that Ena, who, unlike her other companions her, had no special abilities, remained in my house.
She must have been in her office since she was an aristocrat of the empire and busy with the imperial family, but she had the status of a princess from another country, but she didn’t have a place to stay in the imperial capital.
However, it was not easy to understand how she was able to capture Aaron.
“How can she be?”
“Just… She says she beat her up?”
Looking at Mary speaking with a puzzled expression, I too could n’t hide my absurd expression of her.
But when you think about it, Ena wasn’t just an ordinary woman.
She, like my companions, was not one of the strongest on the continent, but she was also a strong enough woman to rally the people to resist Velikiya.
‘No, Aaron must be a bastard.’
Of course, since she was the royal family of a kingdom, she must have learned a certain amount of swordsmanship, but that was nothing compared to the prince of the empire.
So it is said that Aaron was the worst human being to the point of losing her even to her.
Come to think of it, he had no memory of seeing Aaron wielding a sword, neither in his previous life nor in his current life his.
“She should thank her separately.”
I sincerely thought so.
At that time, Lina said she would wait for me, but she was not a ghetto inspiration.
If the ghetto old man had been hurt at the hands of Aaron, I might not have forgiven myself.
“I… I have a favor to ask.”
While I was organizing my thoughts, Mary looked at me and carefully spoke her words her again.
