Leticia heard Leo's voice in a stunned consciousness. At first I thought it was a hallucination. But it was too clear for a hallucination, and it sounded like I was talking to Auguste. Open your closed eyes. Leo and Auguste appear in the distorted view. Leo gets thin with Auguste.

"Wait! I'll return if you're a saint!" "No need! If she's yours, I'm like an Adler clan-until she's looted!"

Leo stabbed Auguste. Auguste screamed, screaming at the end, and Leo turned to Leticia. Eyes met, Leo smiled kindly. Yeah, Leticia was finally convinced there. This smile can only be done by himself. At that moment, consciousness goes away. The thread of tension was interrupted with peace of mind.

"Le, oh ..." "It's alright. Leticia."

Leo enters the jail and cuts the chain connecting Leticia's hands, holding her body. Leticia's relief is deepened by the warm body temperature. Still, Leticia never manages to be conscious. I thought I had to say something. But I have no clue what to say. My head never turns. So I said what I thought.

"... Thank you for the miracle ... I wanted to see you ... I wanted to see you ..." "I also wanted to see you. From the bottom of my heart" "... I have to reply ..." "Don't bother. I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait forever. In the meantime, if you're taken away by someone, I'll take it back." Did you not know, but remember, the Adlers don't miss their prey. "

Lamenting and laughing, Leticia exhales slowly. Then the consciousness began to fade rapidly. This time I did not resist it. Leticia closed her eyes slowly, feeling Leo's temperature.

"Leticia ..." Tra nsla te d b y jp mtl .c om

Leo distorts her face when she looks fainted. There is no trauma, but there is no doubt that something has been done. Given that it was a mage who was in front of me, I could imagine that it was related. Leaning into Auguste, which turned into ash behind him, Leo tongues out of the discomfort that gushed out from inside. It was unpleasant but fresh for Leo, who can only count with one hand in his life. She realized that she was too passionate to kill her frustrated killer. Leo takes a deep breath and calms himself. Leticia was rescued. All you have to do is escape. Telling himself, Leo, holding Leticia, aimed at escaping from the basement with the saint left.

■■■

The knights of eagle lions who entered the basement together learned of Leticia's safety and were rejoiced with tears. And they offered to carry them, but Leo declined and set out on the ground.

"Leticia-sama !?" "Is it safe?" "Okay. I'm just fainted."

Leo then carried Leticia under Noir. The party was accompanied by a blanc with Leticia riding, but Leo decided that leaving Stunned Leticia to Blanc was dangerous and chose a two-seater on Noir.

"Your Highness! Isn't that dangerous?" "Good. Forgive me. I don't mean I don't trust you. You have to be careful."

There, the eagle lion knights noticed that the eagle lion knights were being replaced by enemies, as if Leo had woken up at the castle. Leocia was rescued and Leo remained alert. You can't feel safe until you take them to a safe zone. The eagle lion knights felt this and did not anger at allegations, but apologized for their rashness. Tra ns la te d b y jp m t l .c om

"I didn't have enough thoughts. Forgive me. I'll be on guard."

Leo then straddles Noir with the stunned Leticia. And when the Noir fluttered, the other eagle lions began to rise. It happened.

"It's magic! ??"

It was a fireball that flew from afar. The magic of fire is not so difficult. But that number was extraordinary. Flying over a hundred fireballs. There were too many to reach less than ten Leos. It would have been evasive if this was running in the sky, but it is rising. Moreover, the eagle lions, who have been exhausted after running for almost a day, could not avoid it. The Leos dropped off the incoming fireball, but some could not catch up and hit several eagle lions, who screamed in agony.

"That's alright!"

It is shot down as it is. Leo decides to raise his altitude by force. The eagle lions managed to increase their altitude while taking damage. But it was Leo's eyes that saw the army approaching the village. There were more than a thousand, some of whom seemed to be many mages. At the forefront is a black-skinned female elf. Leo knew at a glance that he was a tremendous talent.

"Is the Dark Elf connected to the Maoku Corporation ..."

While muttering, Leo frowned at the bad situation. It is impossible to not notice the approach of such an army. There was some tricks and I couldn't see it. The bearded eagle lions are damaged and it is almost impossible to escape long distances. But if it becomes a fight, you have to deal with that dark elf. It is almost impossible to deal with the existing strength. Leo decided, and immediately issued instructions.

"Escape to the east! There must be an old castle a little ahead! Go there!"

Leu ordered and headed east. Leo took a deep breath, gazing at the still stunned Leticia.

"You must protect ...!"

Muttering to herself, Leo headed to the castle in the east.

■■■

The old castle in the east was a small abandoned castle. It is tattered and has an even crumbled atmosphere. Leo lands there, rests the eagle lions, and lays Leticia aside.

"What is the enemy's appearance?" "The equestrian's appearance is staggering. Surely the main unit will come later." "How did you prepare such an army in the imperial territory ...!" T ra ns l ated b y Jp m tl.com

An eagle lion knight complains while kicking a pebble. It was the consensus of the people there.

"Because of the festival, there's no way that criminal stakeholders can get in there!" "I know. There was a traitor in the upper tier of the empire, and that traitor would have turned his hand."

Leo told plainly. Not surprising. At the time Leticia was abducted, it was expected that there would be traitors inside the castle. Neither the Maoku Corporation nor the kingdom is stupid enough to take action without any support from the Imperial side.

"Uhh ... here ...?"

Leticia wakes up at that time. The eagle lions rush to the side of Leticia and speak, but Leo remains silent.

"Leo ...?" "This is an abandoned castle of the empire. The enemy has prepared about a thousand troops and was surprised. I went down here for rest, but the eagle lions recovered. "Because I will be sieved." "... The aim is me. Please leave me .... I will not be able to escape ..." "Joke. "I'm not here just to escape." "But ... just like you ..." "I'm the prince of the empire. A criminal army is walking on the empire's land. I'm not going to tell you ... the Clan of Adler will not miss the prey he aimed at, besides being intercepted. I have no intention of giving you to them. " Has a future ... and ate of reinforcements Siege is I'm in here. So I wanted to stay to you in is ...... "," the future Gusaku. And now the siege is not a Gusaku. I am because you are not alone. "

And Leo began preparing for the battle.
