Episode 128 Couple Dance
‘Everyone is gathered.’
Galahad looked around the room.
The faces of those seated in the hall were splendid. They were all performing a single act, but they were all silent.
Their eyes were fixed on one place.
“Ugh······.”
It was Adrianna wearing a dress, not armor.
Adrianna, who never blinked an eye even when dealing with high-ranking demons, now seemed very nervous.
Her hands were shaking, her cheeks were red, and her usually confident gaze was cast down. She walked awkwardly in her dress, as if it were broken.
There was not a bit of the heroic aspect of leading from the front lines.
Appearance was generally relative. Galahad thought so too.
But Adrianna was different.
Adrianna-.
‘Absolutely stunning looks.’
It was an absolute appearance that no one could deny.
The thick armor he always wore was trying to hide his appearance. Even Galahad was out of breath, so it was needless to say for the others.
There was only silence in the room. Everyone stared at Adriana, forgetting even to breathe.
The most important thing was the Archduke. Galahad was surprised when he saw the Archduke.
The Grand Duke-.
‘What a smile.’
He was really smiling brightly. His almost devilish appearance seemed gentle.
‘I guess you can smile gently with that appearance.’
Galahad smiled lightly and pulled Adrianna. Adrianna was dragged along weakly.
“You, your steps and your hands go together?”
“······Huh?”
“No.”
Galahad shook his head at Adrianna’s foolish answer. It seemed that holding on was Adrianna’s best option.
The seat was in front of the Archduke. Galahad pulled out Adrianna’s chair with great skill. Adrianna creaked as if it were broken.
“Sit down.”
“······yes.”
Galahad sat down next to her. He glanced at the princess.
The princess was blankly staring. She didn’t have the gorgeous smile she always had. She had a weak face that didn’t suit her. It was the true face of the princess.
At that moment, my eyes met with the princess’s. Soon, the princess bit her lip. Blood burst out from between her lips. Her already red lips became even redder.
The princess’s dress was extremely splendid. It almost felt like the dress she had shown Galahad before was just for preparation.
There were jewels everywhere, and the fabric was soft as if it had been oiled. At first glance, it looked like a very expensive dress.
‘You’re well prepared.’
However, no matter how good the clothes were, they couldn’t beat the original.
At that moment, the princess grabbed my dress with her eyes wide open. And then she ripped it off. The expensive dress was torn apart in an instant.
The red armor that clung tightly to her body was revealed. The princess, who was wearing armor that looked like a reptile’s shell, smiled brightly.
‘Jinghagun.’
Galahad clicked his tongue and looked away.
The Archduke was still looking at Adriana. If he left her alone, she would probably stay like that all day.
“Let’s get started.”
The Archduke’s laughter stopped as Galahad spoke softly.
The Archduke looked at Galahad. His smiling face suddenly crumpled. He then let out a deep sigh.
“The engagement ceremony will begin.”
As the Archduke made his declaration, the sound of drums could be heard from somewhere. It was a magnificent sound, like the kind used to raise morale in battle.
‘To use a book like that to announce an engagement ceremony – so northern.’
The Grand Duke grabbed the leg of the giant monster in front of him. It was a horrible piece of meat that had not been grilled or even had its hair pulled out.
“Eat and drink.”
The Archduke shook his head roughly.
The red blood that was sprinkled everywhere announced the start of the engagement ceremony.
Northern engagement ceremonies were simple. There was no exchange of rings. There was just eating and drinking.
“······It’s very pretty.”
Adrianna spoke as she looked at the lilies that filled the room. Her eyes sparkled.
Even Galahad was surprised by the lilies. He knew that Tom collected lilies, but he didn’t know he had collected this many.
Northern lilies are said to be so hard to find, I wonder where on earth they found this.
“Didn’t you say you like lilies?”
“Oh, did you remember?”
“I have a good memory.”
At that moment, a familiar instrument sound was heard through the rough drum sounds. Tom was seen playing.
Around him were Gilbutton with a sullen expression and Damien who was eating diligently. He was eating so diligently that the meat piled up in front of him disappeared in real time.
The elders who were supposed to be among the wizards were with the special forces.
“I said I don’t know! I don’t know! I!”
“I don’t know, but how on earth do you use magic!”
“I said it was just written down!”
“No, it’s just written. What kind of sound is this? A dog eating grass.”
“Do dogs eat grass?”

“Wow! I never thought I’d see such a crazy genius in my lifetime!”
“No! In the North, they don’t call it a bald head, they call it a gilbutton!”
The elders clung to Gwen, their old eyes sparkling with rage.
‘I guess you like it after all.’
At that moment, the northerners stood up and started dancing. It was a very radical development, but it quickly became a daily occurrence for them.
It was a full-blown party. Dancing, eating meat, drinking, singing, dancing – it was more like a victory celebration than an engagement party.
“What a truly primitive engagement ceremony.”
The first to wake up was the Third Prince. The Third Prince twisted the corners of his mouth as he looked at Galahad. Then he left. He didn’t even glance at the Grand Duke.
Then the princess stood up from her seat. The princess, who had been looking at Galahad, also left her seat. Count Ambertan was dragged away as if he had been held by a leash.
The princess steps down cleanly.
‘I feel more anxious.’
Galahad muttered softly. As the two royals left the room, the atmosphere became a little lighter.
At that time, Farhansta, the king of the confederation of kingdoms, approached.
“Kerkek, the savage is a woman-.”
“Wait a minute! Let’s talk over here.”
“Let go! I have to talk to Kerkek-.”
“Come this way!”
Theodore stopped Parhansta. I wondered why his staff members were gathered around him.
‘You were planning to protect me.’
The staff members caught those who came to Galahad one by one and took them to another place.
Thanks to that, Galahad was quite comfortable.
“······It’s amazing that the engagement ceremony ended without a hitch.”
Adrianna said, looking at Galahad.
It seemed as if they had expected that there would be trouble at the engagement ceremony. It was only natural.
If it had been original, there would have been problems. Because the people who had to have done so had gathered together.
Galahad wasn’t running around all night for nothing.
“I guess your beauty didn’t make you think so.”
“Oh, I see.”
Galahad laughed out loud at Adrianna’s easy nod.
“It’s not over yet. Be careful not to say things like that because it could cause trouble.”
“Oh, really? I’ll be careful.”
Adrianna nodded seriously.
The two most problematic members of the royal family were gone. It was right to assume that there would be no room for problems to arise now.
at that time-.
“Hehehe, congratulations.”
Gilbutton laughed with an ugly fennec fox-like face.
“Ah, Sir Gilbert.”
“It’s an exciting engagement, but the parties involved shouldn’t be like this.”
“Then how is it?”
“You have to go out and dance!”
Gilbert insisted firmly. Galahad glanced at Adrianna. Adrianna stared at Gilbert with sharp eyes.
“Yes, Adrianna. I asked Tom to make some exciting music! Haha!”
Adrianna’s eyebrows shook violently. Adrianna looked at Galahad urgently.
“Didn’t I tell you? You’re being dishonest.”
Adrianna’s eyes shook violently at Galahad’s words. Her expression looked as if she was in real danger.
Galahad held out his gloved hand. Adrianna hesitated.
“I can’t dance.”
“It’s okay, I’m good at dancing.”
Adrianna bit her lip and took his hand. A pleasant coolness ran through his gloves.
Adrianna was lightly dragged. Galahad wrapped his arms around Adrianna’s waist. Adrianna froze.
“Relax.”
“But it’s dangerous.”
Adrianna spoke quietly, seemingly concerned about her temper.
“It’s okay. Trust me.”
“All right.”
At that moment, the loud drum sound became quiet. Then, a soft instrumental performance began to flow out. It was Tom, of course.
Galahad looked down at Adrianna. Without her armor, Adrianna was smaller than he had thought.
“There’s no need to be nervous. Just think of it as swordsmanship. You’re using your body anyway.”
“······But I don’t have a sword.”
Galahad smiled slightly at the serious answer. Adrianna’s eyes hardened.
“Think of your arm as a sword. Like this-.”
Galahad’s feet moved gracefully. He followed as he pressed down on Adrianna’s stiff waist.
“Swordsmanship. Swordsmanship-.”
“When practicing swordsmanship, who looks at their own sword? They look at their opponent’s shoulder.”
“Ah, shoulder. Shoulder.”
“Yes, in this case, we look at the eyes. Isn’t there a saying that the eyes are the window to the soul?”
“······eye.”
Adrianna’s blue eyes stared at Galahad. Reflected in her eyes, Galahad was smiling.
“Dancing, like swordsmanship, is all about breathing with your opponent. If I move like this-.”
“Oh, like this.”
“No, like this.”
“Oh, I understand.”
Adrianna nodded. Adrianna followed Galahad’s movements diligently.
the problem is-.
‘I really have no talent for dancing.’
The thing is, Adrianna’s dancing skills were pretty bad.
Adrianna’s eyebrows lowered in real time as if she sensed it too. Soon, she lowered her head.
“······sorry.”
Galahad chuckled at the sight of her apologizing for not being able to dance.
“It’s okay. Didn’t I tell you? I’m good at dancing.”
“······yes?”
“Relax. All of your strength.”
Adrianna nodded with a stern face. Galahad gently pulled Adrianna. Adrianna’s body was lightly dragged.
“Don’t try to move. Just feel me.”
“······Huh?!”
“quiet.”
Galahad guided Adrianna calmly, pulling her slightly before moving to elicit a reaction from her.
As soon as I guided the movement, Adrianna easily followed. Adrianna’s eyes widened in real time.
By the end of the dance, Adriana was smiling. It was still an awkward smile, but a little more natural than last time.
Galahad laughed heartily.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Nothing, um, now we’re officially engaged. Next up is marriage?”
Adrianna’s eyes widened slightly. The corners of her lips that had been raised stiffened. In an instant, her expression became expressionless. It was a reaction as if she had been pricked in the back of her neck.
“As I said last time, it’s just an engagement.”
The smile disappeared, and a familiar, indifferent face emerged. It was Adrianna’s armor.
The emotion that was visible between them was a terrible disgust. The object of Adrianna’s disgust, ironically, was herself.
‘Is it because of my personality?’
Adrianna considered the burning nature of mana to be a curse.
That was understandable.
It was a quality that was so attractive to Galahad that it made his eyes roll back, but it was a quality that caused excruciating pain and even death to those who touched it.
but-.
“You said the same thing at your engagement ceremony.”
Galahad raised the corners of his mouth. Adrianna’s eyebrows hardened at his confident smile.
“I guarantee it. We’ll get married.”
Galahad’s voice was firm.
In that truly plain declaration-.
“ah-.”
Adrianna hurriedly left the room.
No, he ran away.
I turned my head with a murderous feeling and saw the Archduke who had become a high-ranking demon once again.
To him Galahad-.
“I feel so ashamed.”
He laughed lightly.
****
“Honestly, I didn’t know you were actually getting engaged.”
Gilbert said, scratching his nose.
After the engagement ceremony, we returned to the special forces dormitory. The special forces dormitory prepared inside the castle was very comfortable. There was also a soldier standing guard in front.
Damian and Gwen went up to bed, and Tom disappeared, saying he was going to dry the lilies.
“That’s okay, aren’t you Sir Gilbert?”
“No, that’s not it. Isn’t the North where magic is so strongly rejected?”
“You were like that too. You wouldn’t know even if the wizard disappeared-.”
Gilverton’s face crumpled as he heard Galahad imitating his low voice.
“You didn’t know that at the time.”
“Yeah, I understand.”
Galahad chuckled and exhaled a puff of smoke. Gilverton scratched his nose.
“sorry.”
“What are you talking about? It’s okay to be ugly. It’s not your fault, is it?”
“No, I mean, I was rude to you before.”
“Oh, that’s good. Now that I look at it, he’s quite polite for a northerner.”
“That’s true too… Anyway, I’m sorry.”
“Just in words?”
“Yes? Then what do you do?”
“Try to sing a song.”
“Hey, what song is that-.”
“You weren’t sincere.”
“······Yes? Are you sure?”
Gilverton relaxed his voice at Galahad’s light smile. He was quite confident in his singing.
“I will become a knight-.”
Gilbert began to sing. Soon he was so excited that he was tapping his feet to the beat.
Gilbert, who finished the song, expected applause. However, there was no applause.
Galahad had his eyes tightly shut, a cigarette in his mouth.
It seemed as if he was not sleeping, but rather taking a short rest. Galahad never slept comfortably.
‘You must be tired.’
Gilbert held the hilt of his sword and held his ground.
****
‘You’re not letting me even close my eyes for a moment.’
Galahad clicked his tongue slightly at the sight of the green meadow spread out before his eyes.
Thump! Thump! Thump! The egg of pain continued to express its presence. Its throbbing gripped Galahad’s mind.
Galahad, who had come to his senses, looked for the tobacco in his bosom. There was tobacco. It was strange.
These green bushes were a precursor to the appearance of the four-legged demons. But it was so easy to find the tobacco plant.
‘His strength has weakened.’
Of course, the increased mana concentration of Galahad would have had an effect, but he was a high-ranking spirit demon.
In addition, the four-legged demons had increased their influence by making something similar to a contract. It could not be stopped simply by mana concentration.
At that moment, the bushes in front became completely thick. Greenery rose continuously from one fallen bush.
Then it changed into a familiar forest.
“Aren’t you ashamed of yourself for being so impatient when you call yourself that?”
Galahad clicked his tongue openly.
At that moment, the bushes parted. A four-legged demon slowly emerged from there. But its appearance was-.
“You, have you gotten smaller?”
Previously, it had the appearance of an adult woman with a deer-like lower body, but now it had the form of a child.
Galahad examined the four-legged demon. It certainly felt lighter than before. Its influence had diminished, and its appearance had changed.
“Have you lost your strength?”
When I asked that-.
[Help me.]
The four-legged demons asked for help.
‘Help me?’
Galahad’s head became complicated by the unexpected request.
If the power of the four-legged demon had weakened, there was no need. Although the intention to deal with the emperor was the same, he was a demon after all.
It was not pleasant to join hands with the demons, let alone with the incompetent demons.
“Why should I help you?”
Galahad, who had finished calculating, asked calmly. Then, the four-legged demon’s face crumpled for the first time.
[Isn’t this because of you?]
The voice of the four-legged demon filled my head.
‘Did you lose your strength while helping me?’
It is true that the four-legged demons helped Galahad on several occasions.
but-.
“so?”
[······?]
“Let me be clear. You helped me for your own purposes, not mine.”
[bloke.]
“If you lose your strength just because I helped you with that, then there’s nothing more to talk about.”
The four-legged demon froze in place. Galahad shook the cigarette gently.
“Don’t appeal to the demons, state the terms of the deal clearly.”
At that moment, the four-legged demon looked back. The green bushes were scattered from afar. No, they were torn apart. They were torn to pieces.
The world is torn apart.
“I guess we have guests.”
Galahad said calmly.
After all, the four-legged demon was a demon. Even if he did something wrong, Galahad didn’t care.
No, I’d rather he be dealt with.
Because you’ll be able to sleep well at night.
At that moment, the four-legged demon’s mouth opened.
and-.
[The King-.]
“What did you just say?”
The four-legged demon was torn apart. The four-legged demon’s flesh scattered like dust. Eyes were visible in each of those fleshy parts.
The eyes were pitch black.
A multitude of black eyes stared at Galahad.
The space collapsed after him.
Gilverton was taken aback by Galahad’s sudden rise.
“Why are you doing that?”
Galahad coughed harshly and shook his tangled hair. His forehead and body were covered in sweat.
It looked quite a mess.
It was clear that I had had a terrible nightmare.
But the strange thing is-.
“I guess I should go to the Demon Realm.”
The corners of his lips were completely upturned.
It wasn’t a nightmare, it was like I had a dream that would make me happy.
“Hey, Tom!”
