    Episode 53 – Defection from North Korea 3 –

    The method of summoning the duke is simple.

    Before I even got into the carriage. I sent a letter to the Duke through Magic Bird.

    The Magic Bird, a magic tool from the Mado Republic, can reach other Magic Bird users at a very high speed.

    It is a unique animal that even automatically returns to its owner.

    In the game, a letter was sent to the duke in advance through the technology implemented in the mailbox system.

    By the time I arrived, the Duke had come out to meet me.

    So now.

    As soon as the sound of a peacock is heard, the prison begins to become agitated.

    People’s stares at my conversation became very unsettling.

    “Older? To the duke? Is that sane?”

    “But the duke actually accepted it without thinking… It’s awesome! I was with the duke!”

    “Then, if you have connections with the duke and came here… In fact, he must have been exiled for political purposes!”

    “Then what should I do?”

    “You should just kneel! I’m only a prisoner right now, but in a few months at most, I’ll be back here as a noble!”

    “Ah. There is one more bad guy.”

    “Don’t say things like that. Among the nobles, there are some Auror Swells. Looking at his age, I don’t think he’s that bad, but he may be an Auror Swell. Then, he would be one of the top ten talented people here.”

    Many stories are exchanged.

    Numerous opinions are exchanged.

    It’s all about me.

    The duke looked around and said something to me.

    “This… Did you mean to?”

    “Of course.”

    “He said something really absurd, so I said something, but… Since you are an Auror Swell anyway, no one will say anything if you just stay.”

    “Because I need something overwhelming. So I did that.”

    Overwhelming support is needed.

    So much so that no matter what I do, no one will say anything.

    To carry out the operation here.

    “Okay… Well, I’ve been good at it since I was young, so you’ll figure it out… Don’t let Henry urge you, just stay still.”

    “In the first place, to borrow Marchioness Caroline’s words, I think Marquis Henry Mentutihotep would also be proud?”

    “That might be possible. In this case, it was not your fault, but political unrest.”

    “My mother actually liked it. ”

    “Really?”

    “Yes. The day will finally come when I will risk my life to protect a woman.”

    “Isn’t that because you abandoned your mother and ran away when you were young? I wonder how he could run away like that without the slightest hesitation.”

    No, there’s a lot to say about that.

    At that time, I couldn’t accept my current family as family.

    I thought that this body was stolen from someone else and not mine.

    So it was because I didn’t have any affection at all.

    It wasn’t really wrong, so I stayed still.

    “Then I guess that’s all I have to do. Let’s stop and go.”

    “Yes! Duke. Take a look and go in.”

    With those words, the Duke of Winterfield returned home.

    And I took a step inside that prison.

    This is my sweet home where I will be living for the next two weeks.

    I don’t know if it’s sweet, but let’s just say it’s sweet.

    ========

    “You can stay here. Here is a magic bird to contact you in case of emergency, and a magic tool for communication.

    Because communication magic tools have a short range, if you want to contact others, please use the magic bird.”

    “Thank you.”

    The prison staff kindly guided me.

    Surprisingly, the place we arrived was a prison similar to that seen overseas.

    First of all, it’s a better place than the Korean military.

    Even the biggest problem, freedom, was allowed to be enjoyed to the maximum.

    A magic bird and a magic tool for communication.

    If you compare it to the free prison it was in when it was on Earth, it’s inferior.

    This is the Middle Ages.

    There is no such thing as the Internet.

    ‘In fact, if it’s like this, there will be almost no problem.’

    There will be no problem with communication.

    There were even fewer problems.

    I wonder if there is only one magic communication.

    Because there was even a magic bird.

    ‘First thing you have to do is… ‘I’m contacting Aria.’

    I need Aria’s help to carry out my plan.

    Aria will listen.

    Because he followed me closely since he was young.

    I immediately started writing a letter to put inside the Magic Bird.

    [To. Aria Winterfield.]

    It’s been a while, Aria. I haven’t seen him since the coming of age ceremony, so I haven’t seen him in over a year.

    As you may have heard, I am currently imprisoned in Elos Detention Center.

    If you don’t know, ask the duke. I’ll let you know.

    If you don’t tell me, you’ll find out yourself.

    First of all, if you want to meet, come here anytime.

    From now on, I’m going to tell you something very important, and you will be able to figure it out easily.

    Starting today, I will be staying in this detention center for two weeks.

    Are you giving me so much stress that I’m going to lose my hair? ah. If it comes.

    You might be hungry, so it would be a good idea to bring some food.

    Don’t forget the guards when you come. Because it could be dangerous.

    Since this is a place where prisoners are, you could get hurt if you do something wrong.

    No need to solve it. You just have to wait two weeks, so don’t worry too much. got it?

    [FROM. Abraxas Mentutihotep]

    All preparations are now complete.

    I just wait for Aria.

    If you don’t notice the contents of this letter, you’re probably not human.

    If they don’t notice, I’ll make fun of them and say that their heads are decorations.

    ========

    After all trials are over.

    Alice Tantalota, the second princess of the Helium Empire, was resting in the Tantalota Pavilion at the Imperial Academy.

    While I was taking a break like that.

    Knock knock

    “Come in.”

    Someone knocked on the princess’s door.

    A person coming in after the door opens.

    Alice was Tantalota’s maid.

    “Princess. I came because I have something to tell you.”

    “What is it?”

    “There is talk internally as to why he did not come to see him. Abraxas Yeongsik seems to be quite friendly towards His Highness the 1st Prince at the moment.

    The reason is that since he was the princess’s lifesaver, we had to use that as an excuse to approach him and further build our relationship.”

    “That’s correct.”

    “What should I answer?”

    The princess paused for a moment.

    The maid waited casually for the princess to reply.

    Finally, when the princess’s mouth opened.

    “Do not answer anything.”

    The maid felt a flood of doubts building up in her mind.

    “I understand. But can I ask you one thing?”

    “What is it?”

    “If you don’t talk about it, problems may arise. Since you are a member of the royal family, you will not be politically isolated, but your influence may be lowered.”

    “That is correct.”

    “So why is that… Could you please let me know?”

    “… ”

    The princess said nothing for a while.

    This is because I needed time to organize my thoughts.

    Because she also couldn’t accurately define this feeling.

    The princess tried to handle this with her knowledge.

    And the princess gave her own answer.

    Of course it wasn’t accurate.

    This was because the outline was still too weak to be revealed.

    “Because I’m afraid.”

    “Yes? What are you saying?”

    “Abraxas English… Because he was afraid.”

    “May I ask why you are suddenly afraid of him? Princess?”

    “… Did you know that I’ve been good at reading people’s emotions for a long time?”

    “Yes.”

    “That’s right. So, I thought that Abraxas Yeongsik did not escape the academy on purpose.”

    “Yes. So, wasn’t that why you decided to promise a future date in return for saving him?”

    “That’s right… So I felt. Even what he was thinking… ”

    The princess paused for a moment and spoke.

    “What do you mean?”

    “Others may just think that using me is an effective way to take down the Evil God Church… I felt a clear emotion in Abraxas’ eyes at that time.”

    The maid is embarrassed by those words.

    The maid asked the princess back to see if what she had guessed was true.

    “No way… ”

    “Abraxas… That’s what I said, but if I was really captured by the Evil God Church… He would have killed me without hesitation.”

    The servant protested at those words.

    The royal family should have been called their own.

    Because it was such a shocking statement.

    “That’s ridiculous! No matter how bad he gets, there is no one who can blame him for not being able to protect His Majesty!

    He’s only a first-year academy cadet! But why did he stab the princess?”

    He is a first year cadet.

    Even if the faculty and staff are reprimanded, there is little responsibility for Abraxas as an individual.

    It may be possible for a commoner, but since his family is a marquis, the possibility is even lower.

    “Furthermore, it makes no sense to say that he did so because he wanted to be expelled. Assassination of the royal family is a serious crime punishable by death under imperial law!

    Moreover, since they are being held hostage, there is a good chance that they will survive, so there is a low probability that they will be treated leniently. But he can’t even think about that… !”

    However, the princess stopped her in a simple way.

    “You know that too, right? Abraxas… Something is strange. Even if I care too much about my own well-being. Sometimes I don’t care one bit.

    Maybe throwing my life away… It seems like there was something to do even without worrying about safety.”

    he is strange

    It’s unpredictable.

    That’s why I can’t really say anything.

    “So I have to keep my distance from him for now.”

    The princess felt frustration for the first time in this world.

    I have a fearful opponent. Because he couldn’t do anything to that other person.

    furthermore.

    “To be honest… This trembling I’m feeling right now… I’m not sure if it’s fear or not… I don’t know.”

    “I’m shaking… ?”

    “The closest thing is fear, so I just feel that way.

    And even if the fear is correct, it’s unclear whether I’m feeling it because of my past or because of him… ”

    “That means… ”

    “Everything is questionable… I’ve experienced quite a few feelings of wanting to kill myself, but why do I only do this to him?

    so. for a moment. I guess I should distance myself from him for a while. I won’t be able to see you for a while anyway.”

    So the princess decided to take a rest.

    Without knowing what emotions were seeping into her heart.

    When the princess was organizing her thoughts.

    “So what are you going to do? Abraxas brother?”

    “Escape from Aoji Coal Mine and become a North Korean defector.”

    “What kind of nonsense is that?”

    Abraxas was preparing something else.
