Chapter 67

“That’s it!”

When the man’s voice echoed in the hideout, the voice of the sword was heard from the surroundings.

A flag with an imaginary monster shown by the Kingdom of Carneria rises.

Believers who realized the meaning of the flag scattered like spiders.

But it’s already late.

The hideout was surrounded by the Kingdom of Carneria.

“You’re late, Vanalen”

The voice of Zelet echoes from the Magic phone.

Lightly stroking Rir’s head, Prince Vanalen, the leader of the Knights of the Kingdom of Carneria, whispers to Pamela’s voice stone.

“That was bad …. But if it’s a complaint, tell your disciple who came to the guide. It took an unexpected amount of time because the senior sister got caught in a trap. Thanks to you, we were able to come this far safely. “

“……got it”

“It seems to come to your eyes. You can see her rushing into the trap in front of her disciples …”

“………………Ah”

“That’s terrible……”

Pamela, who was listening next to me, pulled her face.

“What about that disciple? “

“She’s stuck in the last trap and looking around. It’s a hassle to help, so I left her alone.”

“It’s a nice decision”

“Even so, this is …”

Vanalen scooped up his beautiful blonde hair and saw what was in front of him and wrinkled his brows.

“Huhhhhhhhhhhh !!”

“Stop! Don’t come! Don’t come!”

“Please! Don’t eat!”

“Gyaaaaaaaaaa !!”

Screaming and fluttering around.

It is in the form of a kerunea called by a magic tool surrounding them. Among them was the Archbishop.

Sweat is floating on the face and bubbles are blowing from the mouth.

Some people frequently rubbed their right hand and screamed, “Arm! Arm!”.

Vanalen gives up on a surrealistic scene like avant-garde art.

“Powdered bait grass leaves were packed in bullets and fired. It has the effect of amplifying fear. “

“Why do you have that kind of thing?”

“It’s convenient to disperse the approaching monsters of small fish. 100 times more useful than holy water. “

“I see. As expected, he is my master.”

Vanalen bowed lightly.

“What will happen to these people, Mr. Vanalen?”

Pamela gets off Rir and asks a question.

“The person in charge will not be spared the capital punishment. No one will protect him in this situation.”

Vanaren’s gaze turns toward the temple.

The basement was held by Annette, Deputy Chief of the Knights of the Kingdom of Carneria.

Men who were engaged in the dismantling work of Kerunea are taken to the basement one after another.

“Vanalen …”

“I know. You’re talking about this parliament, right? I was expecting it, but now it’s clear how the guys who were calling for the protection of Kerunea were spreading the money. Thanks to my teacher. “

“I hope you know. I’ll ask for strict punishment. “

“nha……”

Vanalen snorts.

“Where was the word I said that irritated you? “

“No, this is where you laugh, Master. In the old days, you wouldn’t have to ask questions and yell at the death penalty, right?”

“Don’t make me a killer machine”

“And that’s the anger of the humans who played with the monsters, right? It means that you have sympathy for the monsters. If you’re the old master …”

“No such thing. My feelings for monsters haven’t changed, both now and in the past. “

“I wonder … I feel like there is a person who changed master.”

Vanalen looked back at Pamela and raised his mouth.

Pamela doesn’t know what it is and tilts her head with the ahoge on her head.

Doo! !!

The ground near Vanalen was scooped out. Mud hangs on the prince’s beautiful face.

“Hey! Master! What should I do if I get injured! It’s an international issue.”

“sorry. I just got too strong and pulled the trigger. “

Zelet’s naive answer comes back through the voice stone.

Vanalen often sought a way to take revenge, but neither he nor Pamela knew in which direction Zelet was.

Pamela opens her mouth.

“By the way, Prince Vanalen. She is …”

Beyond the green eyes was a lady with her purple hair dye stripped off.

Henderone is still a former Marquis in the early 40s, but she looked like an old woman who was already over 70.

“First of all, I’m going to inform Queen Vanahia. I’ve heard she was sent north. Escaping from the penal colony is a felony. If Queen Vanahia asks for her delivery, we’ll respond. “

“What happens in that case?”

“It’s a capital punishment … It’s decided.”

It was Henderone who muttered.

It seems that she was listening to the story.

“I disobeyed the Queen’s warmth, and I sinned again. It’s a humiliation to crawl and live with these people. It’s better to die.”

“Do you regret it?”

Pamela asks Henderone.

Finally Henderone raised her face.

“It’s natural. I’m —-“

Hey!

I can hear a voice from a distance.

Guided by the Knights, it was a group of elves, all of whom were old men and girls and children.

Seeing the faces, the men who worked at the hideout made their faces shine.

They threw away the hoe and bamboo basket they had and ran at a glance.

“That is?”

“They are the inhabitants of the village you destroyed.”

“――――!”

“In the Kerunea religion, there was a spy of Prince Vanalen, who was hiding in a cave prepared by the Knights before you attacked.”

“……Yes”

“You too, Mrs. Henderone. Didn’t you realize that there were no corpses of the villagers?”

“It’s not the punishment I gave you. That’s the wrath of Kerunea.”

Henderone’s face becomes steep.

She was back to herself when I met her.

The only thing awaiting the former Marquis is the guilt of death.

Still, the reason why she doesn’t change her mind is probably because she has a strong belief in herself.

“I don’t hate you, thinking that monsters are also alive.”

“What are you doing now … You think it’s annoying, right?”

Henderone glared at him, and Pamela shook her head.

“I didn’t know for the first time when I accompanied Zelett’s hunt. What you mean … A monster is also a life.”

「…………」

“I can’t forgive what you did, but you can inherit that belief … because I think it’s unfair if someone doesn’t help the demons.I don’t think we can protect monsters from people who only look at them like prey. “

“Little girl …”

And finally, it was Henderone’s turn.

Both arms are grabbed by the knight and pulled up.

After walking for a while, Henderone stopped.

“I don’t need it. I’ll walk on my own.”

Shaking the knight’s hand she started walking.

Pride as an aristocrat was exuding from her back.
