Episode 224. Reorganization Day (3)
Originally, assassins used side roads more often than the main gate.
From the moment it was possible to create my own subspace,
I have freely traveled to Aer’s subspace anytime, anywhere.
So I tried to use that route again this time, but what is this?
The head of the family blocked my subspace from connecting with Mist’s subspace.
As someone who doesn’t like to use my brain, you made it so complicated that I gave up as soon as I saw it.
There came a point where I had no choice but to take a different route.
There is one thing you need to know for a moment. Since the time the head of the family and I left the Academy, Mist no longer had to maintain a hideout in Ruwen.
Instead, gates through which one can enter subspace were created in various places throughout the empire.
One of them is the Hwangseong Library here.
Didn’t they originally say that it was dark under the lamp?
If you go to the secret library on the second floor, there is a gate that can take you to Aer’s subspace.
So you saved Princess Arin through that route?
That is definitely the main gate.
Just because the side road is blocked, it doesn’t make sense to not block the main gate.
The side road I’m talking about is not here,
I’m talking about another route that can take you to Aer’s subspace.
“I couldn’t believe it, but it looks like you managed to get there?”
As soon as I opened the door, the head of the family who struck me with his sword looked at me and asked.
“I guess you didn’t have time to stop it there?”
“It was because there was no need to stop it. “I never thought that you would save that child, even going through the trouble of going to Luwen.”
“If you’re going to blame, blame it on God, not me.”
Yes.
The place I visited was the route in Luwen, where the Royal Academy is located.
He rushed there in five days and rescued Princess Arin.
Why is it still there?
Why?
It’s because the idiot God, the owner of the space, didn’t clean the door out of annoyance.
-visor!
After exchanging brief greetings, I put down my sword and widened the distance.
The head of the family smashed one of the front doors and came inside.
There were no other crew members around.
“Are you here alone?”
“This is because you made the executives who went to persuade you incapable of action, which caused a number of setbacks. “Everyone is on site now.”
“Tongue, scene?”
The head of the family’s gaze immediately turned to Princess Arin, who had a complicated expression on her face.
“You wouldn’t have taken her out on a sweet date in this situation, so where do you plan on taking her?”
“There is no specific location. “I’m just going to let you watch everything that happens in front of me afterward.”
“That’s fun. Are you really planning to turn that child into a doll named Emperor?”
“I don’t think there’s anything bad.”
“… … ?!”
I felt the princess’s puzzled gaze behind me, but I tried to ignore it and continued speaking.
“Rather than being manipulated by others, wouldn’t it be better for me to take advantage?”
“You’re so selfish.”
For now, I’m going to take it as a compliment.
“Are you having fun just the two of you talking without the other parties involved?”
Princess Arin, who had been expected to remain silent in the background, opened her mouth in a somewhat displeased tone.
“I don’t know what the meaning of this existence is to make such a fuss, but I find it a bit unpleasant. “I am not a doll that just stands there without thinking.”
It was a confident and confident response that is difficult to express in a tense atmosphere.
Well, it wasn’t a reaction that she couldn’t have reacted to right now, so I wasn’t that surprised.
but,
“The princess must have been happy that Xian showed up just now… … ,”
Sometimes, it is better to remain silent when the situation demands it.
“no. If she had just stayed still, the princess would have been able to live a much better life than her previous life. “She is not a princess, but an ordinary woman.”
“Who said they wanted a life like that?”
The princess was not intimidated and asked a bold question.
“Right now, at the assembly hall, our team is confronting the knights with a fake double disguised as the princess. We will use that double to create a false situation where the princess is assassinated. Then people will be shocked, and their anger towards us will increase even more.”
The head of the family also paid no heed and continued to say what he wanted to say.
“But Xian blocked that.”
As someone who didn’t really care, I just shook my shoulders.
“So what? I need to change my plan. As of today, the princess named Arin Sebellus… It will not exist on this earth!”
With a cold smile, the head of the family turned the blade that had been pointed at me towards the princess.
“… … !”
The princess’s eyes were shaking violently as she was overwhelmed by the atmosphere.
I looked back at her and said.
“Please leave first.”
“what?”

“If you leave, another knight will be waiting to protect the princess instead of me.”
“What about you?”
“I will follow soon.”
A very familiar situation, as if I had experienced it somewhere before.
She must have felt it too, as she pursed her lips and trembled.
“Do I need to remind you who you need to worry about right now?”
“no. There’s no need for that. “Because I know enough.”
Her will could be seen in the way she clenched her fists.
-visor!
The head of the family, who was unable to fully observe the situation, suddenly approached us.
“I don’t think I ever said I would let you go?”
“Now!”
At my signal, the princess ran out the front door.
“… … !”
This time, I blocked the head of the family who was trying to look away.
“Are you willing to come out and see blood?”
“Isn’t this unexpected?”
“Then no! But, unfortunately, the one who has to shed blood here is neither you nor me!”
A black mist was created along with mana from the head’s other hand, which was not holding a sword.
“There’s only one child!”
Then, without hesitation, he threw the created fog towards where Princess Arin was.
“Ammu Type 5: Mist Clone!”
The thrown sphere landed in front of Princess Arin, and in the blink of an eye it was transformed into a human form similar to the head of the family.
A black dagger was held in the clone’s hand.
The princess quickly turned to avoid it, but
“… … !”
The clone’s dagger was already quickly heading towards the princess’s neck.
The moment when the shadow of death was once again cast before the princess,
-visor!
Another sword protruding from outside the library’s main door blocked the clone’s sword.
Arin’s eyes flashed in surprise and he called her name.
“Re, Resimus?”
It was her guardian knight, Resimus.
“Stay back, princess!”
Resimus broke the clone’s balance with a burst of energy, then swung his sword continuously.
– Wedge!
The clone that was cut by the sword immediately turned into powder and disappeared.
Looking at the head of the family who frowned in embarrassment, I quietly opened my mouth.
“All I can do is assassinate, not protect.”
“What are you going to do with just one guardian knight?”
“This is a knight who will become the greatest swordsman on the continent in the future. He is a knight who devotes himself to protecting his lord, regardless of the pain of torn muscles and ruptured organs throughout his body. “Even if we send a few senior officers, we won’t be able to take them down easily.”
There was still a smile on the head of the family’s mouth, but it did not contain any positive emotions.
I slightly turned my gaze and signaled to Resimus, who was looking this way.
Recimus received the signal and immediately led the princess outside.
“For some reason, our bold disciple never fully listens to what his teacher says.”
A thicker fog began to appear from the head of the family’s sword that touched Kayram.
“That’s what a disciple is. “Isn’t that why teaching becomes more enjoyable?”
“okay! I’ll do whatever you want! But you shouldn’t be complacent, Sian! I’m so angry right now that I wouldn’t be surprised at all if I killed you… … .”
The hair on my arms stood up, and sweat poured down my back.
No matter how many times I see it, I can’t get used to the image of the head of the family full of anger.
For me, I must be the only woman who reawakens the feelings of fear and fear that I thought had become dull.
but,
That makes it even more exciting!
Although it was clearly a situation that should not have happened to us, the head of the family and I had smiles of sincerity and joy on our faces.
* * *
Arin left the library with Resimus like that.
It really bothered me that I left Xian behind, but now was not the time to worry about him.
“How did you find out about this place, Resimus?”
“Not long after the princess disappeared from the room, Sir Xian appeared in front of me. “On the day of the assembly, he told me what I should do, saying that I would be able to meet Princess Arin if I headed to the Hwangseong Library at the given time.”
Resimus kept his eyes sharp as if he was still angry when he recalled the situation at the time.
“It’s just my guess, but it seemed like at least Eshel and Boris knew that Princess Arryn would go missing! “Without showing any signs of surprise, I just said let’s wait and see what happens!”
“Oh, what about Abama? Didn’t Abama say anything?”
“You weren’t there at all… … .”
“In the end, something happened between them that only we didn’t know about.”
Arin ground her teeth in exasperation, but she was not frustrated.
“Sian said that if a situation arises in which he cannot keep up, he should bring Arin to the assembly hall. Afterwards, he told me to watch everything that happened there and then decide for myself what to do.”
Sian himself said something similar.
Although it seemed simple, it was a very difficult order.
As this is a situation where you may have to take full responsibility for the decision,
Arin, who didn’t really know anything yet, felt very dizzy.
“Where are you going in such a hurry?”
Someone appeared in front of them.
Arin and Resimus stopped walking and their eyes flashed.
“I’m glad you’re safe. “Princess Arin.”
“Eh, Lord Eshel?”
Unlike other serious girls, Eshel has a gentle smile on her face.
Next to him was Mia, who had a grave face.
“I can feel his energy in the library. “Can I go first?”
“Of course.”
Mia seemed to have no interest in the princess and walked past them towards the library.
The two women couldn’t help but give her anxious looks.
“Are you going to the assembly hall?”
Eshel asked them quietly.
“Why is Lord Eshel here?”
“I am coming to take the princess. “I will protect you from now on, so let’s go together.”
Eshel volunteered to be her escort and tried to lead her, but Arin did not approach.
“Oh my gosh, you’re doubting me. “Do you not trust me, with whom we have put our heads together and shared our concerns for seven years?”
Eshel shook her head in regret.
“Doubts can act as a driving force for human development and at the same time as a source of human destruction. I admit it. I know many things that Princess Arin does not know. However, the reason I didn’t tell you that was entirely for the princess’s sake.”
“It was for me?”
“yes. I don’t know what the princess would think of me, but she saw the former princess as a very worthy person. “This is sincere.”
Eshel praised Arin and naturally extended her hand.
“Please come with me. “I will go and show the princess everything she needs to see.”
It was the same thing that Sian said.
Resimus looked at Arin with anxiety, but that anxiety disappeared in an instant.
Arin’s eyes are already unmoved by any sweet temptation,
It was in a very firm state.
“… … !”
“Resimus. “Please lend me your sword.”
Reshimusun quickly took out an emergency sword and handed it to her.
Arin pointed the sword he received at Eshel.
“I command you as Arin Sebelos, the 5th princess of the Usif Empire.”
“… … .”
“Echel Berthe, the eldest son of the Duke of Berthe, please get out of my presence right now.”
Eshel’s eyes visibly fluctuated for a moment.
“What did you say just now?”
“Lord Eshel is a very meaningful person to me. From the time we first met until now, you have always given me advice and kind words. He never once said anything bad. “He just instilled infinite faith in me as if the path I was going to take was the right path.”
Eshel did not deny it.
“But such consistent beliefs are an act that destroys not only me, but our very character. Sometimes you have to question those beliefs. Only then will you have the experience and insight to determine which is the more right path. Then you can make better decisions next time.”
“That is correct. but… … .”
“Lord Eshel only gave me unwavering faith and never once made me question it. No one, including Lord Eshel, ever questioned me. “Except for just one person, Xian!”
Mana began to fluctuate in Arin’s sword, which took over her emotions.
“I say it again. Get out of my presence. “It is not Lord Eshel who will lead me.”
After about 5 seconds of silence,
“Kyahahaha!”
Eshel’s joyful laughter echoed around the area.
“You are truly amazing!”
A golden aura flickered from Eshel’s hands as she clapped with emotion.
Eventually, the main body of the holy sword appeared in the aura, and Eshel pointed the tip of the sword at Arin and spoke.
“I think the person I need to see my future with is Princess Arin, not Princess Violet… … .”
