Chapter 64 – 64. Darius and the Three Musketeers
“Hwaam.”
Deia yawns and naturally leans her head on my shoulder.
Even though I feel a warm weight, I subconsciously caution against careless actions.
“Too attached.”
“hmm?”
Then Deia answers by just turning her head, still resting her head on my shoulder.
“Out of all the places in prison, you’re the best place to rest your head, so you’re just here.”
“… … .”
“And this level of skinship between siblings is normal.”
What came back was a fairly shameless answer.
The only siblings that come to mind are King Orpheus and Princess Eleanor.
The two seemed quite friendly, so I could understand it, but I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was being deceived.
Deia turns her head again.
“Ah, I think it’s more comfortable because I can’t see your face.”
Well, that’s it.
When I just passed it over, Deia smiled and started talking about the archmage from earlier.
“What are you going to do?”
“… … .”
“I told you I could break you out of prison. “If we just hold hands, can’t we escape secretly?”
The archmage Rockpelican secretly came to me and Deia and proposed a plan for a prison escape.
To our surprise, he offered to take our side.
He apologized, saying that this treatment was too unreasonable for me, who had overcome three nearly impossible trials.
Since he couldn’t give an answer right away, the archmage left without saying he would come back later.
Normally, I would naturally hold hands and say thank you.
I was a little skeptical of Rockpelican’s proposal.
“Is that offer really for us?”
“huh? What are you talking about?”
Deia said she didn’t understand and pressed her head against my shoulder. It felt like they were trying to get me to answer quickly, and it also seemed like they were simply protesting to stop me from speaking in a difficult way.
Feeling her weight, I spoke my thoughts honestly.
“Grand Wizard Rockpelican is a fiercely loyal person. “He can be called the closest of all the close associates that have been handed down since the previous king.”
The relationship between Rockpelican and King Orpheus was more than just a relationship between a king and a subject.
When Orpheus was young, the great wizard Rockpelican was in charge of his education, and Orpheus also followed and learned from him like a spiritual mentor.
Since the two were almost like family, Orpheus did not necessarily keep secrets from Rockpelican.
“Hmm?”
Deia was impressed that she had figured out quite a bit of detail in a short period of time, but in reality, she was only talking about what she had seen in the game.
“All of Rockpelican’s actions are royal. So, it begins for King Orpheus.”
If the Sorcerous Judge Tyrn Ol’ Belochus is loyal to the country, Rockpelican is loyal to the Griffin royal family, or to be more precise, Orpheus.
This is a pretty crucial difference.
‘If it were Tyrun, I wouldn’t have let this matter pass by.’
In the past, the royal family supported a warlock who massacred citizens, and it is impossible to ignore the fact that he actually has royal blood.
Rock Pelican is different.
For King Orpheus’ sake, he can tolerate these matters, close his eyes and remain silent.
‘A Rockpelican like that would go against the king’s orders and try to free me?’
I can say for sure.
It can never be like that.
This required thinking in reverse.
I’m not trying to get rid of it because it seems unfair to me.
My only intention was to get rid of King Orpheus, as my existence was a considerable nuisance.
‘You’re quite worried about me.’
Will you fulfill your promises and take responsibility, or will you remain silent and draw your sword for your family and kingdom?
Suddenly, a monologue by Shakespeare, Hamlet, came to mind.
It’s a different situation, and if I were to twist the phrase slightly.
Kill or save?
That was the problem.
King Orpheus, facing problems, was under pressure.
If that were to be the case, Rockpelican was planning to let me go, who was the problem itself, so that I wouldn’t have to make a choice.
‘The flow is not bad.’
It’s not that I get psychotic because I can’t get over the shock like when I took the wrong route in the main story.
He clearly recognizes his situation and is suffering in pain.
I don’t know what the outcome will be, but for now it was time to wait.

“Whoo, whoo!”
Late morning.
Darius, who was breathing heavily without realizing it, calmly checked the sword at his waist.
Even though I’ve worn the sword my whole life, and now it’s like a sword to my body, I keep checking it, perhaps out of anxiety.
“Wow, I never thought I would infiltrate the Griffin royal family.”
“It would have been nice if the captain was there too.”

“What should I take as a souvenir?”
On the other hand, the three musketeers from the scrap metal dealer who came along were laughing and having fun as if they were on some kind of picnic, but Darius was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t help but be shocked.
It’s like sneaking into Griffin’s palace. It’s amazing how you can be so confident.
‘I’m not hanging out with that crazy woman for nothing.’
I didn’t know it when I was living a normal life, but when I opened the lid, they were no different from Finden Eye.
Do people have to change like this in order to survive in the Clark Republic, where evil rumors abound?
‘Should we call it evolution or is it just broken? ‘There is no distinction.’
Thanks to these, Darius relaxes a little and takes a deep breath and looks up at the high wall.
The surroundings were dark, so they naturally hid themselves, but in order to invade, they had to climb over the huge royal wall.
Since there is a risk of being caught if you manipulate Mana, Darius approaches with his hands relaxed, intending to just crawl up.
One of the Three Musketeers asks Darius.
“But are you sure you’re okay?”
“What do you mean?”
I wondered what he was going to say about a topic that had been so exciting up until now, but he was surprisingly giving sound advice.
“I know that my younger brothers are precious, but if I get caught wrong, they’ll all lose their heads, right? The Verdi family itself may be extinct.”
Darius paused for a moment after hearing those words. It’s not wrong.
It was an act of trying to escape from prison for his two imprisoned brothers.
Additionally, one of them is a warlock.
He was an extremely loathed being in the kingdom.
No matter how family you are, if you try to protect the warlock, the history of the Verdi family may end beyond simply losing Darius’ head.
“Yes, family is important.”
If Darius was asked to choose the most important thing, it would definitely be the glory of the family.
The name of Verdi, the giant who protected the northern mountains, was a source of pride to Darius.
But two months ago.
The family started anew by uncovering the ugliness that had accumulated over the years.
With thick clenched fists, Darius declared firmly.
“But I am not the only Verdi.”
“… … .”
“Those two also carry the proud name of Verdi.”
After hearing that, the three musketeers laugh and argue.
“I just tell my younger siblings that they are precious.”
“That’s right, I’m blaming my family for no reason.”
“But you look a lot different than when I first saw you.”
“Hmm.”
As Darius cleared his throat and looked embarrassed, one of the three musketeers handed him a rope that was wrapped around his shoulder.
“I brought it because I thought I might need it. “We’ll take you inside, so just hang this on the castle wall.”
“hmm? “You’re taking me inside?”
I didn’t know what that meant, but the three of them were so confident that they positioned themselves right in front of the wall and used their hands to create a jumping platform for Darius to step on.
I was shocked and dumbfounded.
“ha.”
Since it seemed better than actually climbing up the wall, Darius went with the flow and ran.
“Tsk!”
Perhaps thanks to the amazing breathing of the three musketeers, Darius jumped so high that even he was surprised.
A body literally floating into the sky.
Darius easily climbed over the iron bars on the fence and quickly landed on the other side.
“her.”
It seems that the three musketeers did this several times during their resistance activities.
If you look at the fact that he is not only skilled, but even professional.
The moment when Darius hung the rope on the wall to provide support for the three musketeers to climb over.
“Hmm, that’s pretty bold.”
A creepy old man’s voice came from behind. Darius’s neck creaks as he passes the rope.
At the same time, he immediately pulled out the sword from his waist.
A truly beast-like blow.
Darius’ sword was indeed sharp, as if to boast that he was not a giant who had guarded the northern mountain range for a long time.
In particular, Darius had grown through even more rigorous training after suffering a crushing defeat in the battle with Findenai.
Just like Finden Eye.
It was bad enough to say that the opponent was terrible.
thud!
Before he can swing his sword properly, Darius’ body is pushed backwards and hits the wall due to the pressure of the mana pouring in.
Stuck like a painting, he opens his mouth and confirms the presence that has subdued him with one blow.
“You’re impatient. He has a completely different personality from your serious and serious younger brother. “Were you excited when you found out your brother and sister were arrested?”
An old man with a staff resembling an old tree, a robe that is both flashy and mysterious, and an impressive white beard.
“It’s funny how I thought there wouldn’t be any magic on the walls of the palace in the first place. “If I hadn’t discovered it earlier, you would have been roasted by now.”
Archmage Rockpelican Linus clicks his tongue as he looks at Darius.
“Have you come to rescue your younger brothers, Earl of Northwedden?”
