Chapter 409 Chapter 407 The Imperial Duke

Entering the Mansion, Jurgen and Ted called out Al's name aloud as they stepped out of the horse.

"Your Highness! Your Highness Arnold! Are you there!?

"Prince Arnold! It's a message! It's a message!"

It was Ted who first entered the Mansion.

A strange boy enters the Mansion, so the Kintetsu Knight tries to control it, but the Kintetsu Knights take a step back, acknowledging Yurgen's appearance.

Not because Jurgen is the Empire Duke.

Because Al is one of the few nobles to treat in honor.

But Al hardly came out.

There was a reason for that.

Because Elna was back before Ted came.

"In addition to Rafael, you're a powerful man with a metamorphotic magic device."

"... I'm sorry."

"You don't have to apologize. It was enough to discover that there was something unusual about the border, and there was a lot more information gathered."

"... the person who helped Rafael is stronger than Rafael. Without the Holy Sword... it might be difficult."

"Honestly, there should only be a few of them as far as I can think."

That's how Al got into his mind.

Transformative magic tools were really rare.

Because it is ancient, it is rare for it to work perfectly.

The person who has such a thing is almost narrowed down when it becomes as strong as Elna.

If you think about appearing in front of Erna...

"... it's a mess."

"I see. You can ambush from anywhere, even if you have a metamorphotic magic device."

"That's not true. Transformative magic tools are really rare. It's hard to get it. If you use it to retreat, there will be almost no further attack."

"That's right... then what's the trouble?

"I don't know who Rafael is following. That's why I don't know who the mysterious helper is. I don't know, it's troublesome."

Al knew the identity of his helper and why he appeared in front of Elna.

Who was the problem?

It was Eric, to put it in perspective. Rafael also appeared to have joined Gordon, behind Eric's orders.

That explains the fact that Gordon's faction did not have Raphael and did not participate in the assault on the Fourth Queen.

"I have to let you go....."

"I wish I could have tied you up. In other words, there is no mistake in judging the arrest. He has too many mysteries. Why did you betray me? Why disturb the empire struggle? Who are you following? I don't know if I can get the information just because I locked him up, but if I can extract the information, it's huge. Father... I think that's better."

"You used to treat me like my own son...."

"I was very pleased that he became a Kintetsu Knight. I think he thought about his father like his father....."

The mystery of Rafael is only deepening.

I couldn't see why Al betrayed me.

When I was talking like that, I heard a loud voice outside the mansion.

"Your Highness! Your Highness Arnold! Are you there!?

"Prince Arnold! It's a message! It's a message!"

Al and Elna looked at each other and looked suspicious.

Because it was a voice I didn't know.

"It's a child's voice, right?

"I don't care about Lord Rheinfeld... where did the child's message come from?

"I don't know. But let's see. If Lord Rheinfeld brought him here, I can trust him."

"Wait. I'll check first."

"It's a desperate voice. I don't know how much time it takes."

"You should be careful.

"If anything happens, you're here."

Al, who shut Erna up, leaves the room and goes to the front door of the Mansion.

There was Ted desperately looking for Al.

Just tell me what you want.

"Eh...? Ah, Prince Arnold...?

"Don't worry, I'm not a shadow warrior. I'm the only one with black hair in the mansion."

"Ah... I'm from a clan country! Escort the princess into exile! A chaser is approaching! Help me, please!

"The princess's exile...!? It should be in three days!?

"That's what the convoy was destroyed for..."

Al also received reports from Erna regarding the total destruction of the convoy.

But then I thought I'd send a new unit. Because I had the idea that there were still three days left.

But that premise collapsed.

"The princess was under strict surveillance and it was dangerous, but I made a decision! Please! With everyone... Mia, help my sister!

That's how Ted lifted the bag against Al while lowering his head.

Al takes the bag without hesitation.

There was a lot of gold in there. And a letter.

When you open it, it's there.

"I'll give it back because I can't use it up... it's still hard to understand"

It was given to Mia once, and the letter belonged to Mia.

Al sighed with astonishment.

And he turned to Ted.

Obviously exhausted. I knew at first glance that I had come so desperately.

But Al asked.

"What's your first name?

"It's Ted!

Are you Mia's brother?

"No, we grew up together....."

"Enough. Can you still do your best?

"Yes, it's okay! You can still do anything!

"Very well. It's a rough one, please show me the way. Kintetsu Knight III - we're on our way. Get ready."

Elna bowed in dismay to Al's words, and Marc, who was beside him, looked up to heaven.

Mark said with a tired voice.

"For the record... is this enough for His Highness to fight?

"I owe you. During the rebellion in the Imperial Capital, Mia protected Fine. Despite being a member of the clan, he did his best. That's why I'm doing everything I can to help Mia."

"Even though you are entrusted with full powers, you can't avoid criticism. Fight at the border and it will be an instant war. I'm not ready yet."

"Superior. I didn't like waiting for the traitors. I'll take responsibility."

"Oh dear... what do you think of the captain?

I won't listen to you.

That's how Elna ordered her men to prepare their horses.

Mark swings his neck to the right and goes to help him.

Meanwhile, Fine appeared in a hurry.

There was water and snacks in the basin that I had in my hand.

"Please, don't panic."

Fine says that and gives Ted water.

Ted forgot to speak and drank the water.

When my throat gets moist, I get hungry this time. A snack was served there.

Ted throws it in his mouth.

It fills your hunger.

And Ted looks up at Fine with a light, flat look.

She was more beautiful than I've ever seen.

He couldn't see his face properly, and Ted naturally thanked him.

"... ah, thank you..."

"No, you're welcome. Master Al, do you want to join him?

Al nods at Fine's words.

Then Fine smiled and stroked Ted's head.

"Good luck. I'm friends with Mia. I wish you well here. Good luck."

"Ha, yes!

Fine thanked Al and walked back.

It's because there's not much I can do more than fight.

"Your Highness, we're ready!

All right, let's go.

I'll give it to you.

Jurgen followed Al slightly behind him.

Ted followed, but realized that he hasn't thanked him yet.

That's what Mia told me.

"Um... thank you! Prince Arnold! And...."

Ted looks towards Jurgen.

I haven't heard the name yet.

Ted smiled and lowered his head slightly.

"Excuse me, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Jurgen von Reinfeldt. The Imperial Duke, after all."

"Duke!?

Ted, who thought it was the Count, was surprised that he was higher than he thought.

However, Yurgen didn't seem to care and invited him to ride the horse.

"If you don't like it, why don't you ride with me? My horse is fast."

"But... I'm... a civilian."

"If you don't know, I'll tell you. The prime minister of the Empire is a civilian."

Yurgen takes Ted's hand and pulls it up toward him.

Ted rode on a Yurgen horse.

"Let's go!

Al drives the horses, followed by the Knights of the Guards.

Yurgen told the horse not to be late.

"You worked hard enough. [M] But I need a little more help. Please give us the power to help someone."

"Good luck...."

"And be careful when you say thank you. We haven't done anything yet. Let's thank your sister again when she has saved her life. [M] Until then, don't lose your mind."

"Yes, yes."

Yurgen was satisfied with Ted's reply and sent a horse to Al.

"Your Highness, what about the other knights?

"Follow only those who follow. Speed is the number one thing now."

"Yes, sir. Can someone magically convey my voice?

After asking the Knights of the Guards, Yurgen took a nice breath.

Al and the others walk through the gate at the same time.

The knights in the faction looked at something.

Without missing that moment, Jurgen flew the words.

"Eastern Allies! His Highness Arnold is on the move! Follow only those who are ready to fight now! Far from the east - now we know it's for this time!

The word of Jurgen hastened the faction.

Who wears armor, who begins to pack, and who confirms with his Lord.

Everyone, but they were late.

Only those who immediately crossed the horse were able to follow Al.

It doesn't matter which knight is noble.

Only those who were prepared followed Al one after another.
