Chapter 333

Episode 333 Princess Sileia (3)

As he continued to observe the situation, he realized an unexpected fact.

“I never thought the princess of Devon would be with me.”

The identity of the woman who had been perceived as Prince Klein’s spouse was none other than a princess.

I was thinking of kidnapping the princess as a joke, but that word came true.

At this rate, even if he pretended to be crazy and kidnapped the princess and offered to negotiate, there would be no problem at all.

It wouldn’t be so bad to turn a joke into a serious one now that there is no room for negotiation.

Eventually, Ray decided to stop thinking.

He patted the table and laughed.

“Heh heh. All I need is a princess.”

It was a murmur that would scare anyone else into hearing it, but luckily he was the only one in the room.

He crouched and looked at the situation, but finally started to move.

* * *

Princess Sileia was very lively.

The excellent stamina given by the status of an Aura user made her able to move without getting tired even the next day.

In contrast, Klein, who was exhausted earlier, was confined to the inn and checking the operation.

Thanks to this, Sileia was able to enjoy the luxury of wandering the streets alone.

The escort knights cautioned Silea when she acted too freely.

“Princess, please be careful.”

“Please move a little slower.”

Compared to the restless escort knights, Sileria is at peace.

“Ho-ho-ho. I am familiar with it.”

He speaks well even though he is obsessed with the fun of eating skewers while wandering around stalls.

While they were following the princess and sweating, a suspicious person approached her from afar.

If you look at the shape of the robe, it doesn’t look very good even if you look at it.

As he walked in a straight line toward the princess, the escort knights who were closely watching the surroundings moved quickly.

“Stop!”

“You are suspicious! Take off your robe and show your face!”

Even though he threatened with a sword, the unidentified Rob did not slow down.

The escort knights responded first.

As I swung the sword with the intention of scaring it, white hands protruded from the sleeves of the robe.

The knights sighed and pulled back the swordsman.

Whiik-!

Even though it loaded up with mana, the path of mana was twisted like a lie when the opponent twirled their wrist once.

Thanks to that, mana did not gather at the point where power should be concentrated.

Because the joint work of the two was blocked in an instant, the road to the princess was opened.

“no!”

“Princess! Avoid!”

The knights shouted at the top of their voices, but Sileia was unmoved.

No, he even pulled out his sword from his waist.

“How dare you try to harm the princess of Devon!”

The words were fired ferociously, but she was very nervous.

The opponent is a person who easily knocked out two knights.

It’s probably not even a job to deal with yourself.

When the escort knights were defeated, the other knights and soldiers belatedly joined them.

Three knights gather around the princess and ten knights stare at her robe.

“Even if you’re crazy, you’re still a crazy person! The crime of targeting the royal family will have to be paid with his life!”

“Everyone, stay alert!”

A sword aura rose from the swords of the knights.

The form of mana is not clear, but the density itself is considerable.

Probably all of them were more than intermediate Auror users.

If it was a criminal, he would have numbness just by facing him, but Rob’s man responded that it was insignificant.

On the contrary, he stood arrogantly and looked directly at the princess.

“You arrogant bastard!”

As if the knights had promised, they rushed at once.

When the strength was distributed through examinations, each person’s strength multiplied several times.

As many as ten knights sworded in turn, a network so dense that it could never be blocked was built.

His beautifully curved feet touched the dirt floor.

from the toes to the soles of the feet.

The feeling of touching the soil sent a shudder down his spine.

He, who had not opened his mouth until now, spoke to the trembling Silea.

“I want to make a deal.”

Deal.

the deal is good

But isn’t trading usually about being polite and meeting what you want?

What kind of deal in the world could give you a two-day trip around the wasteland!

As Silea tried to argue with that, the man’s hand movements changed a bit.

It’s a very subtle move, but she remembers it.

That action before attaching himself to the side.

If I got stuck there again, I might have to do the same crazy thing again for two more days.

Shileia, who was about to express her displeasure, shut her mouth.

“...What’s the deal?”

The words that came out naturally became polite.

Even his voice softened.

It was an unbelievable tone for the kidnapper who kidnapped him.

“I intend to end the war by taking you as a hostage from now on.”

“...So what?”

“For that, we need a place to negotiate. If the war ends like this, I intend to release you, but if it doesn’t work out, I can’t guarantee your safety.”

Seeing those menacing words, Shileia bit her lip.

Of course it’s a lie.

He intended to force the story to come out well, and even if it didn’t happen, he planned to let go of the princess at the end.

However, the princess, unaware of such thoughts, was already frightened.

My body stiffened at the thought that I might die.

“Do you really think that one will stop the war?”

“of course.”

How can you be so sure?

I was curious about his intentions, but I couldn’t ask carelessly.

“I don’t think there’s any reason to tell me that... I don’t have any powers and I don’t have anything to drive a deal. Besides, it’s not even on the succession list, so it won’t help much.”

He knows that.

What he needed anyway was a human with the title of a princess, not someone with power.

For now, she is the only key to a quiet end to this war.

Through the robe, Ray grinned.

“I take care of the rest. You just have to stand there.”

* * *

Cline, who was planning a strategy at the table, was furious at the news that the princess had been kidnapped on the street.

When I hit the table with my fist, it caved in.

Quaang—!

“What were you guys doing while Silea was kidnapped!”

Even if his eyes were open and his nose cut, he wouldn’t be so dumbfounded.

The princess was kidnapped in the neutral city of Sigea, even with escort knights and soldiers attached.

Even to an unknown assailant!

If the opponent was related to the kingdom of Celia, things would be very complicated.

As the escort knights lowered their bodies without even raising their heads, Klein suppressed the fury that was running through his head.

“...Did you send the pursuit troops?”

“Yes yes... I think I will catch up soon.”

luckily out of misfortune

Klein, who was more angry, commanded.

“If something happens to Silea, it would be better for everyone to be prepared. I’ll give you more troops, so start searching all over the area.”

“All right.”

As the knights left, Klein grabbed his head.

Things that were going well went wrong.

The plan to establish a position as the king’s successor collapsed from the beginning.

Besides, even my dearest sister was taken away, so it was dark before my eyes.

he murmured with red bloodshot eyes.

“I don’t know who it is... If I catch you, I will tear you to pieces and kill you.”
