episode_0339

In the end, Radiel’s armor was terribly damaged. The once damaged chest shield fell apart, and he died a heroic death.

Because of that, I had to stand there staring at the wall for a while.

You can’t say anything.

No questions should be asked.

I had to stare at the wall like that and wait for Harnie to say it was okay.

That was the price of his careless actions.

…But for this price, it’s incredibly cheap.

If it had been normal, a giant spike would have stuck into my back. But my back still wasn’t on fire… I guess Harni held back as much as possible because of the situation.

“Ah, I found it. This is it.”

As I mentioned, Harnier searched the room a few times and quickly found what he needed.

Well, that’s a blessing in disguise. The Bagrand Duke’s residence is a place I already know well. So I could tell you where things are.

This room just so happens to have women’s clothing prepared.

So Harnier was miraculously able to find new clothes to replace his damaged armor.

“But why of all places… Haa. No. Where is this.”

Harnie sighed and slowly began to change her clothes.

Soon, Radiel’s damaged armor came down with a clanking and rattling sound, and he finished changing into his uniform.

“You can look back now. I’m all dressed up.”

He turned around obediently. He had finished changing into his uniform, but judging by his sharp eyes, it seemed like he wasn’t completely over his anger.

however…

The clothes you changed into are very pretty.

It’s a maid outfit that other maids wore, but…

I should say that even though the hangers are different, it makes a big difference. Even when Harnie wears it like that, it doesn’t look plain at all.

“…It suits you better than I thought.”

“What, what did you say?”

This is crazy.

What I thought in my head came out as a voice.

“You… I, really…! Saying something like that so casually…!”

…fucked.

The palm prints that are engraved later may last a little longer.

Harnie fanned himself for a long time to cool down.

***

“I was able to take a breather with this… but the future is the problem.”

Now that he had clothes to wear, Harnie was able to move again.

But this wasn’t all good news.

“Oh no. Sir Radiel’s armor has become like this…”

Up until now, Radiel’s armor has been like a pass card that not only hides Harnier’s appearance, but also allows him to easily pass through the Bagrand Duchy.

Now that this is broken, Harnie’s appearance can no longer be hidden.

Radiel, the fact that you can’t use the old method of disguising yourself as Mark and then using a password to deceive them means that you have to completely change your existing plan.

‘To make matters worse, something like this has come up.’

The status window that appeared a little while ago.

The content was not at all simple.

▶You have entered the Bagrand Duke’s field.◀

▶Warning! Soldiers are patrolling, so if you don’t pay attention to stealth, a chase event may occur!◀

▶Avoid the soldiers’ eyes and take the necessary items.◀

I knew that the Bagrand Dukes had the supplies they needed, but they had quite a few soldiers.

That number alone was comparable to the number of soldiers guarding the border in the dukedom, and the security posture was not weak either. Why on earth was this happening?

Of course, now is not the time to be complaining.

“There’s nothing I can do. I can’t disguise myself as Radiel and Mark, so I have no choice but to change my method.”

“What are you going to do?”

“Radiel said so, right? He said he was under Claire’s orders. Then it wouldn’t be strange if only one of them went around saying they came to deliver the news. And my armor should be able to cover at least one person.”

“You want me to be a maid attached to a guest at the Bagrand Duke’s house?”

“Yes. If you were given that kind of work, there would be maids following the person in front.”

If a maid is assigned to guide a guest, she usually stands at the front, but if her job is to guide a guest, she follows them to the back.

For example, when Harnier visited here, Camilla did something like that. Because she remembered that, she was able to come up with an alternative.

but…

The real problem was this.

‘…I have to say that there is a place I want to stop by.’

The question is how to explain this.

There are soldiers all around, so we need to get out as quickly as possible.

A general wanted notice has been issued for Harnie, so he must leave the duke’s residence.

I couldn’t just stop by the basement and go, when I was already trying to figure out how to get out of Duke Bagrand’s mansion right away. Of course.

Then Harnie grabbed my face with both hands, looked into my eyes and asked.

“Tell me quickly. Carcein.”

“…Yes?”

“I know about the Eye of Wederos. I heard it from Pollux and Talphon. Anyway, because of that power, you can see things differently. So you have something to say. Don’t you?”

“…”

“Because it’s so important. You have a problem and you’re hiding it with that face.”

She smiled faintly and gently stroked my cheek.

-Keep going.

“I won’t ask why. I just want to help you. That’s why I came here. So, tell me.”

Did he use some kind of poison?

Or maybe I dropped some kind of clue.

I don’t know if there is any other reason to guess.

But Harnie didn’t ask. He seemed to sense that I was hiding something and was considerate enough to let me talk about it comfortably.

With those words, I was able to speak honestly.

“…There must be something hidden in the basement of the mansion. You have to go there.”

“Okay. Then let’s go there. We have to cover it up well so that we don’t get caught, right?”

“Yes.”

She didn’t ask until the end.

He didn’t add any more words.

He just followed the path I took.

‘…I’m looking at something else.’

It’s a completely different meaning, but it’s true.

I see something different with my eyes.

It was true that I was seeing something else due to the power of Wederos.

***

“Over there!”

“Catch him!”

The magical power of the artifact originally held was completely depleted and its function ceased.

Hallucinatory effects no longer occur.

Not only did they have the effect of hindering facial recognition, but the hoods and clothing that had camouflage and hiding functions were now just ordinary clothes.

It was a foregone conclusion that the pursuit would be followed by tools that did not function as intended.

The knights surround and pursue the two wanted men.

Although several raids were conducted to shake off the pursuers, the encirclement was eventually formed.

Arina stepped forward and advised Karsine.

“You’re the one who made me suffer in the end, Carcein. I don’t know how many people suffered because of you.”

“…”

“Put down your weapons quietly. Or else.”

-Sreung.

“You’ll get hurt badly. Carcein.”

He even showed his intention to fight him directly by raising his sword, but he did not put down his weapon.

Arina snorted in surprise at this.

“Haa. You idiot. It’s going to be like this until the end.”

In the end, the conversation doesn’t work.

If that’s the case, then you have to convince other people too.

“I didn’t know that even Young-ae would agree with this. Please tell me what it said. What on earth did you say to fool even Young-ae?”

“…”

“Young-ae. Keeping your mouth shut won’t solve everything.”

Still, not a single word comes out of his fiancee’s mouth.

It was mind-boggling. How on earth do you have to fool someone to get something like that?

Arina’s blue eyes were filled with anger.

“Captain Pergo.”

“Yes!”

“Don’t let anyone move. I’ll handle it myself.”

“Okay!”

Arina walks towards the two people with their hoods turned over, her footsteps filled with anger.

“Don’t blame me. You’re the one who brought this on yourself.”

An endlessly cool sword moves.

A heavy, massive sword strikes another sword without mercy.

-Kaang! Kaang!

The difference in power was clearly revealed, and a one-sided attack and defense pattern was depicted.

Arina snickered and swung her sword more fiercely.

“How pathetic. Is that all you could do to be so arrogant?”

“…Ugh!”

“Try to be more violent. Be more uglier, and show your true face. If you don’t keep your posture like this, I’ll run at you while rubbing your eyes. Isn’t that your true nature?”

-Pfft!

Karsine gets kicked and falls to his knees.

“Ha. I gave you a chance. Are you saying you can’t even do that? Or are you doing this because you want to hide your commoner nature?”

“…”

“Come on, come on. I’m giving you enough strength to compensate for your exhaustion. If you can subdue even a country with only one arm, I promise to help you with all my might and forgive your sins. Of course, I don’t mind if you use cowardly tactics.”

The match was decided too easily.

As someone who was dealing with the majority, there would be no strength left at this point.

But Arina didn’t stop.

He pushed Karsene even further. He could have ended him early with his sword, but instead of using it, he just kept punching and kicking him. So that Karsene could keep rushing at him.

The same situation repeats itself over and over again.

Finally, Karsine lay down and stretched out at Arina’s feet.

“In the end, even poison seems to be limited to this level. Yeah. This must be your limit. There’s no way a guy like you can get results if you don’t even put in the effort properly and just stop somewhere halfway. So you can only deceive people with that three-inch tongue.”

I’m getting so angry.

Because of this guy, my mother is sick and my two younger siblings are deluded.

“…Yes. You shouldn’t have been found by Mother back then. If you were going to repay our family’s kindness with enmity, you should have disappeared on the day the Snow Blossom Festival was held. You… never even once thought of us as family.”

Right then.

Someone ran towards me, shouting.

Arina had to quickly grab her sword again in the surprise attack.

-Kaang!

“You guys. Who are you?”

Arina, who had been holding swords, only then noticed and asked.

There was no way Harnie could handle a sword. But this woman wasn’t just wielding a sword sloppily; she was trained properly.

-Shoot!

“Ugh…!”

“…ha. I got fooled.”

The hood comes off.

Only then does Radiel’s face come into Arina’s sight.

So who is the person below? It’s obvious.

Mark Redeltine.

Vice-captain of the 1st Knight Division.

A couple decided to play the roles of Karsain and Harnier.

Soon Radiel and Mark were captured.

Arina asked with an expression that was completely incomprehensible.

“What happened. Sir Radiel. Sir Mark.”

“…”

“You are the knights of the house that protects House Bagrand. Why did you disobey my orders?”

Mark and Radiel answered that question without a moment’s hesitation.

““I will accept any punishment.””

“…ha.”

Arina grabbed her pounding head.

“You’re taking Karcein’s side. You’ll have to be prepared.”

“I have no regrets about this choice anyway. But I want to say this.”

”Tell me.”

“As someone who has fought both swords, I can say with certainty that if they had fought sincerely in a martial arts tournament, it would have been Ariana who would have lost.”

“Tsk. That wasn’t worth listening to.”

Arina thought it was nothing special and ordered the soldiers to come and take the two away.

“Think carefully, Miss Arina! Do you know anything about Lord Karsain?”

Radiel and Mark continued to scream as they were dragged away.

He spoke and spoke again, never lowering his voice.

“…What do I know about Carcein?”

That kind of thing…

…

-Tiring!

I hid and hid again in the duke’s mansion to get here.

cellar.

Here, you have the items to take back home.

Harnie sent the signal.

Since he nodded, that means it’s okay to come in. He’ll keep an eye on the net for a while, so if he sends a signal again, he can come out.

I opened the door without hesitation.

-Click.

A musty dust is blowing.

And in between…

There was a brightly shining object.
