Chapter 663

Chapter 663

Yan Tie has been extremely busy lately.

Of course, the reason is the new mansion they moved into. It is true that it has become more comfortable in many ways because the brothers and sisters of the religious order are moving together, but there were many things to take care of and be aware of as it was the residence of a nobleman who was once so powerful that he even harbored the intention of rebellion.

It had already been a week since Eldmia had gone to the Empire to get her gear, and it had been almost two weeks since she had started staying at the mansion, but she still hadn’t gotten things sorted out. Every day when she opened her eyes, she felt a slight dizziness at the fact that there were still many things to worry about, but she woke up early as usual, and lightly touched Lujin, who was sleeping soundly in the bed next to her.

Then, Lujin, who was sleeping on his side of the bed, unlike when he was asleep, looked out the window with his head bent like a bow and muttered stupidly.

“···Huh· Why is it morning·”

“Haven’t you been a thief for too long?”

“I can’t deny it···”

Lujin was standing up, groaning, but his clothes were actually changed faster than Tie. As I watched him, I had a feeling that he could actually get up on his own, but he might be just lying around because I was by his side. However, that didn’t mean that Lujin was slacking off on his work, so I just let it go.

“Today, we plan to finalize the review of the companies that will distribute food to the mansion.”

“I’ll check the guards. It’s certain that there are impurities, but it’s not yet certain, so it might take a day or two more.”

“Is there already such a movement?”

“‘Already’ is the wrong expression. Since the other party is the other party, it would be correct to say that this movement has only just begun.”

Eldmia is causing a change so great that it could be called a tectonic shift across the entire continent.

The influence was not simply a matter of power struggles among the nobles, nor was it something that could be resolved within Itisel. If a new hero had emerged and risen to the position Eldmia is in now, spies would have flocked in from all over the place long ago.

However, one of the biggest reasons they haven’t done so yet is because of Eldmia’s information, which is so disjointed that it almost seems like it was intentional.

Those with quick information were said to have been interested even before he appeared on the front lines, but his name actually became widely known on the continent after he appeared on the front lines.

It was a sight that seemed so sincere that even the knights and priests would not feel awkward even if they saw and heard it. Not only the nobles of Itisel who were not in the capital, but also the absolute majority of the nobles, including those in power overseas, naturally tried to trace Eldmia’s footsteps and prepare for the future based on this information.

“Isn’t it urgent, almost desperate? I don’t think those who are struggling to make a connection with the Iron-Blooded Princess would do that either.”

“You can’t do it because it’s not the right environment for you. Anyway, that’s why you’re a bit busy.”

Lujin slumped her shoulders as if she was tired, but honestly, she felt relieved because it was a very good opportunity for her and the church.

Isn’t this a great opportunity to prove the usefulness that Tie emphasized so much? Unlike physical fatigue, the mind is busy thinking about how to finish it more neatly and perfectly.

“But I won’t forget to clean up the surroundings, so you just worry about the inside... What are they?”

That’s why I was able to kick open the door of the mansion with a happy heart today as well. I frowned for a moment at Tie’s behavior that was very unsightly for a maid, but even though I knew it was useless, I tried to say something, but I stopped moving along with Lujin, who was standing still with her legs stretched out.

Tie and Lujin’s morning starts at dawn. Even if you search the entire capital, the only people who move as early as they do are guards on night duty or guards on night shift, so it’s safe to say that the city is still asleep.

Beyond the sight of those two people, an unidentified group was captured approaching the main gate of the mansion.

Their appearance is not shabby. The five approaching, wearing pitch-black robes and hoods that seem to be the same, are all as large as Eldmia, although their gender is unknown. It is not known whether it is because of their armor or their natural physique, but they are definitely not ordinary people. Their steps, cutting through the morning fog, make the sound of armor clashing, and they are wearing swords of the same size on their waists.

Tie’s expression immediately became serious as she felt that the sight was like Eldmia walking through the rain to attack the Envelde Mansion in the past.

Could it be that someone who is unaware of Eldmia’s absence is seeking revenge for Envelde? There shouldn’t be any forces left to do so?

“Get in there. When a battle breaks out, run away without looking back.”

Lujin pushed Tie back slightly, erasing the cheerful expression that had been on his face just a moment ago.

Since he was a dream-servant and had no talent for sharing memories, Lujin did not know what Tie was thinking. However, he was certain that if he were to fight those five, the current state of the mansion would be absolutely unmanageable.

“Hurry up. Those things are dangerous..?”

Lujin, who was trying to push Tiei with force, thinking that he should at least hide it in Tiei and make contact with Eldmia, stopped talking when he saw the five uninvited guests stop at a certain distance from the main gate of the mansion.

Not only did he stop, he also got down on his knees and took off his hood, but the biggest reason that left her speechless was the five heads that emerged from under the hood.

“We have come to see you with the permission of the saint and the consent of the kingdom. Please bring the warrior to us.”

The silence continued for quite some time after the demon, who was at the forefront of the intruders, did not hide his identity as a demon, revealing his half-severed horn, opened his mouth.
