The Regressed Son of a Duke is an Assassin Chapter 293

Episode 293. Unwanted Help (1)

After passing through the red sky of the Demon World, the border gate of the front line finally appeared.

Recognizing that Arin had returned safely, she let out a long sigh in relief.

There was also a bit of worry in the sigh.

“Why are you doing this, princess? “Her face doesn’t look good.”

Emily asked with a worried expression next to her.

“Oh, no! When I think of the people who were worried because of me, I feel a little sorry. Because I left a letter without saying a word… … .”

“In the end, everything went well. What happened? “Even if you commit a crime, you just have to correct yourself later.”

It was nothing to worry about for Lunab, who already had a lot of experience with such things.

Arin smiled shyly at the somewhat ambiguous consolation.

If I had to pick the person I felt most sorry for, it was definitely Resimus.

With the intention of bowing her head first without making any excuses when she returned, Arin held on tightly to Duke Bert’s sword that Xian had given her.

“Princess!!”

When they finally returned to Belias, the troops stationed at the border gate rushed to greet them.

Arin immediately bowed her head towards the knights.

“As a member of the imperial family, I ended up making a personal judgment based on emotion, rather than the correct judgment! “I sincerely apologize to everyone who worried!”

All the drivers could not help but be taken aback by the sudden apology.

“Things were resolved well. Although we were unable to find the instigator, Eshel Wert, for now, things with the Demon King are peaceful… … .”

Arin slowly raised her head and suddenly stopped talking when she saw the expressions on the knights’ faces.

The knights’ faces were filled with an inexplicable urgency.

Now that I think about it, I can’t see Resimus.

She, who he thought would be waiting for her with more anxiety than anyone else… … .

“I will serve you for now, princess!”

“Did something else happen while I was away?”

Arin intuitively sensed that something else had happened to the tour group.

“I’ll explain as we go! “There’s no time, so move first!”

In this way, Arin quickly moved inside Belias, and when she heard the whole story, she became so enraged that she hit the table hard.

“What does that mean? “Rebellion?”

“Would you please look at this?”

Arin quickly checked the official document the driver handed her.

“Who is the instigator?”

“I presume it is 1st Prince Ruinel Sebellus. “I think the princess may have been planning a rebellion while she was away.”

-Kwaak

As if there was nothing more to look at, Arin crumpled up the official document on the spot.

The shaking pupils were filled with anger.

“Are you saying that the nobles agreed with an official document like this?”

The driver wordlessly handed her another official document.

It was an official document with similar content to the one just before, but there was something familiar yet shocking at the bottom of the document.

“B-the seal of the Duke of Berthe?”

Arin’s eyes shook violently in shock.

“According to known information, the official letter was first spread by the Marquis of Barens.”

“Who on earth wrote an official document like this?”

As Arin was slowly subsiding her shock, a thought suddenly passed through her mind.

“Yulken Darius… … .”

Duke Berthe’s lieutenant and the same knight who was known to have left Belias for another mission.

Among Belias’ knights, he was the one who was confirmed to be impervious to the power of deception.

“Could it be him? why? “You said he was definitely free from the power of deception?”

“That statement itself may be a lie.”

In a confused situation, Lunav opened the door and came inside.

The driver tried to stop him, but Arin stopped him.

“What do you mean, Lunav?”

“The power of deception is not a power that can be overcome with things like faith or will. “I can guarantee this, having personally analyzed its power.”

“But Duke Berthe overcame it! You saw it too, right? “The scene where we faced the devil to protect us!”

“well? Isn’t that because Duke Berthe didn’t receive orders not to protect his princess? “It’s the same for me, but no one would have thought that the princess would be there at that scene.”

“okay. “If what you say is correct, then what on earth was Duke Berthe thinking in allowing this official document to be spread?”

“It’s obvious. “Of course, wouldn’t this empire and continent be in chaos?”

“… … !”

“We have been running so far to prevent that.”

In response to Lunav’s answer, Arin lowered her head and was lost in thought.

“Did you intend to do this from the beginning?”

Is this the Duke of Berthe’s will?

Or is it the will of Eshel, who was ruling the duke?

A situation of confusion has returned.

No matter what the circumstances were, Arin did not know that she was the only one who could solve this situation.

“Where is Resimus?”

“I left Belias just a few hours before the princess returned. She said that, in the name of the princess, she would rally the forces of her imperial family against her. “I think she probably headed to Duke Kundel first.”

“From now on, we will begin organizing the forces that will sympathize with the rebellion and the friendly forces that will support the current imperial family. Once everything is sorted out, I will send official documents with different contents to both factions in the name of the imperial family!”

“I will obey the princess’ orders!”

The knights who received the instructions immediately took action.

Arin said with a small smile towards Lunav, who was standing quietly against the busy knights.

“Can you help me gather the others, Lunav?”

* * *

“What is this? Rebellion? “What kind of fuss is this?”

Emily is in pain, pulling out her hair.

Nana is taking a deep sleep in a corner to relieve the fatigue accumulated during the arduous journey.

Even Brian looks at the two with anxious eyes.

Emily, conscious of his gaze, approached Brian with strides.

“Well, if you have a mouth, why don’t you speak? “How long are you going to just sit around?”

“B-but there’s really nothing we can do in a situation where you haven’t returned… … .”

“Who said what should we do now? “I mean, let’s at least think about it!”

A mistreating maid and a mistreated knight.

It was a normal situation, no different from usual, but unlike before, when Brian was always embarrassed, this time Emily looked at him with deep eyes.

“What is it? “Why do you look at people like that?”

“What should I say?”

“yes?”

“Emily, you didn’t say anything to me either?”

Emily paused for 10 seconds with her mouth open in confusion.

“Hey, look at this guy? Are you saying you were upset because I disappeared without saying a word? Look at this, Brian! I will always support you, Master… … !”

“It’s not like I don’t live for you, Master, right?”

Emily’s mouth froze again.

“I know very well Emily’s feelings for you, Master. But Emily, you’re not the only one living for the Master, right?”

Brian grabbed Emily’s hand as he spoke.

Emily was startled and her face turned red.

“Please speak to me next time. Even if I cannot be someone you can rely on, I want to be a helper.”

“what? Why are you suddenly in a mood?!”

Emily quickly shook off her hand and turned around.

Only after calming down my startled heart did I cautiously open my mouth.

“I’ll tell you everything later. Just the two of us, separately… … .”

She seemed to be unable to make eye contact and was avoiding looking out the window.

“Please don’t make me wait too long.”

Brian said he couldn’t help it, but gave her a soft smile.

-Squeak

Just as the awkward atmosphere was about to continue, the door opened and others came inside.

It was Runab and Set, who were currently serving as the princess’s special attendants on the tour.

As soon as Set came in, he slumped down in his chair.

“Oh my, how can things happen so continuously? “I guess our princess’ speed isn’t right.”

“I think it would be better if it exploded all at once. Because it’s easier to solve it that way.”

Even though they were there according to the princess’s wishes, the two were clearly from another country.

It would be desirable for them to safely return to their home country without being involved in this matter as much as possible, but looking at the atmosphere, they were already ready to confidently step forward with their arms rolled up.

For now, Emily and Brian just sat quietly and watched quietly.

Then Lunav, who was looking around the room, tilted her head and asked.

“Can’t you see Hastia?”

Everyone Arin asked to call included Hastia, but for some reason she was nowhere to be seen.

“Well, that. “He said he had something to pray for and that he wanted to be alone.”

“Prayer?”

“yes. It seemed like a ritual unique to the White Elf clan, so I didn’t hastily bring him in and respected his wishes for now… … .”

“is that so?”

Although Lunav didn’t seem to be a particularly big problem, for some reason, an uneasy feeling stirred a part of his heart.

Just as I was thinking about stopping by for a moment before Arin comes,

-Squeak

The visit was held again and Arin, who had requested a summons, appeared again.

“I am so sorry that I am late. Thank you for coming together despite our sudden request.”

Arin bowed down and expressed her sincere gratitude.

“Now is not the time to discuss things like gratitude, is it? So what do you want us to do, Princess Arin? Should we at least request troops from the Kingdom of Spania? “The justification is sufficient!”

Set expressed his intention to personally call in reinforcements in his own name.

“I already told Schurz to send a messenger to the Garam Society. “If the society’s wizards come, not only troop support but also material support is possible.”

Lunav said without hesitation that he would use the power of Garam Society to provide various support.

He would not hesitate to help even in the affairs of other countries.

Arin was so moved.

“Thank you very much. Everyone.”

Arin bowed her head towards them once again.

“But I will accept it with gratitude. “The reason I asked you all to gather wasn’t to ask for help.”

“… … ?”

However, Arin refused all the help.

Everyone’s eyes widened except Arin at the unexpected reaction.

“Everyone, please leave the Wusif Empire as soon as you leave this room. “I will definitely guarantee your safety.”

“Hey, princess, are you serious about what you said?”

“yes. “I’m serious.”

“But Senior Arin, this matter… … .”

“This is the Empire’s business, and you have no reason to get involved in it. “This is an internal incident within the imperial family that occurred purely due to my carelessness and my shortcomings.”

Arin’s attitude was so firm that Set and Lunav were left speechless by her resolute appearance.

“And one more thing. “There is something I really want to ask you.”

Arin’s hard eyes immediately turned to Emily and Brian.

“When Xian comes back, I hope you never reveal anything about this matter.”

“Really?”

Emily asked herself a question.

“yes. Even if Xian finds out… … .”

Arin clenched her fists as she continued speaking.

“Please tell me clearly that I don’t want help.”
