Episode 741 Oh, My True Brother (6)
So-Young and Heuk-Young drew their swords at Ray’s wink.
“You cannot disobey the command of your lord. I’m reluctant, but I’ll try to help.”
“joy.”
“thank you.”
She was like that when facing the bandits, but she is not an ordinary woman.
Even though the black spirit’s sword came close to me, it didn’t blink an eye.
by the way.
Ray looked at the wrecked wagon.
Latter wheels and a shattered exterior.
I couldn’t even lie to say that it looked good.
Since he had already escaped the majesty of the royal carriage for a long time and was afraid that he would appear in a dream, Soyeong said a word when she saw it.
“At least it’s the royal carriage, so I’ve endured this much.”
If it wasn’t for that, it would have been unable to hold on and disintegrated mid-air while running.
What should I say to convey this fact to the Kingdom of Gleiman?
Did the crazy speed freak crash it while doing a spin turn?
Indeed, it would be concise, but I am afraid of the aftermath.
While Soyoung was struggling, Levia approached and said.
“Come ride in our carriage.”
“Can I?”
“of course. If you pretend not to know the benefactor’s plight, wouldn’t that be disgrace to the family?”
At her words, Ray was pleased.
“As expected, true nobles are different!”
“It’s overrated.”
“miss!”
Lawton looked concerned, but Levia shook her head.
“The carriage is rather conspicuous. You have enough horses, so you should ride them.”
“Ha, but...”
“Lorton, how can you throw away your benefactor just because it’s a waste of a wagon? Please save my face.”
“Kkeuh....”
The carriage is the last bastion.
Not only could they carry food, but they could use the wagon as bait to make a run, so it was a hand that was hard to throw away for those who valued each and every one of them.
But to pass it off without even thinking about it.
Sometimes I don’t know what the lady is thinking.
Lawton looked at Soyoung and thought.
‘...If I had that escort, I’d be able to buy some time to escape.’
Although he was small in size, his skills against bandits were not normal.
So, even if a bad situation arises, it will be enough to earn time.
It can be said that grace is repaid with enemies, but for Lawton, the priority is the safety of the person serving.
A heavy feeling of guilt settled in his heart, but he ate his heart.
“All right. It’s the count’s carriage, so please handle it carefully.”
“Of course.”
Ray, who had a track record of having already ridden a wagon (?), responded enthusiastically.
* * *
Let Ray pick out food and leave with the wagon.
Only the tired knights, Levia, So-young, and Dark-young were left in the seat.
“Can we start soon?”
At Lawton’s words, Dark Young crossed his arms and looked around.
“Everyone seems tired, how about sleeping nearby?”
“I don’t know when they might come again, but I can’t rest peacefully.”
“This number will not go unnoticed. Even if you get caught, you can trust us and rest because we are there.”
Indeed, it is a maddening confidence.
Do you think that one knight can be stopped with only two people?
Following Levia’s words, the knights immediately brought one hand to their chest.
Lowering his posture and hiding his sword behind him, this was an example of a knight.
Soyoung, who was quietly watching the scene from behind, snorted.
“You brag about handling a sword. Where the hell is a master who is out of shape like this?”
“Shut up, Soyoung.”
“Yes.”
Despite their pun, they didn’t dare to open their mouths.
What is in front of you is the power that the kingdom cherishes.
It was not difficult for him to slit their throats when he was moved.
If I were to die of being upset over this, what would be such a futile thing?
Levia glanced at the two and thought quietly.
Along with the man who is the master, a small woman who treats him casually.
Judging by her words and actions, it was clear that the woman was also a master or a skill equivalent to that.
What is the identity of the young man who handed over this amount of manpower to them?
Her thoughts didn’t come to pass.
“Is anyone still against camp?”
All the knights fell silent at the words of the Dark Spirit.
Who would disobey an order?
As long as he was holding on to his seat, it was safe even if the grandfather came, not the count’s knights.
Or maybe it would be safer to stick here than to return to the family.
It’s hard to believe that people like this are stepping in together to help their county family.
Under the decision of the Dark Spirit, the movement of the knights became faster.
With the bodies of the bandits put away in a corner, they decided to camp in the bandits’ living quarters.
There were various kinds of ingredients in the sanchae.
The meat was put on a skewer, lightly salted, and placed around a bonfire.
Of course, all the work was up to the knights.
Heukyoung did not touch it, as if there was still sediment left.
So-young snatched a piece of meat that looked delicious and brought it to her mouth.
“As expected, the meat is delicious even with salt.”
The meals prepared in the Kingdom of Gleiman were also delicious, but to her taste, the food she ate while being homeless was the most delicious.
The knights, including Levia and Lawton, ate their food while taking off their plate armor.
It seemed quite relieved that Master was there anyway.
Levia, who was in the midst of eating, asked cautiously.
“We asked for help, but... may I ask why you accepted our request?”
To be honest, I don’t understand.
The realm of being a master is a path that criminals cannot reach.
As such, you will be treated with utmost hospitality in the kingdom, and you will not have to go under anyone except for the king.
Even so, the two of them were serving a courteous young man.
In addition to that, it is a bit difficult for her to understand that these giants move their bodies at once at her request.
Heukyeong, who was just about to open the skewer, answered.
“Never mind. It’s just that the lord is kind.”
Are you really sending people like this for that reason?
The Dark Spirit didn’t lie, but Levia interpreted it arbitrarily.
‘You know something about family heirlooms.’
An item that the surrounding nobles despise as a ‘curse’ and strongly demand to dispose of it.
He must have known something about him.
Once I thought about it, my doubts turned into certainties.
The way he came to help in a desperate situation, and the way he handed over this amount of articles with a single word of his own.
It would have been impossible without some ulterior motive.
Could it be that they also covet heirlooms?
Or those sent by hostile aristocrats?
I’m not sure, but she didn’t grow up smoothly enough to believe me when she replied, ‘It’s just that my lord is kind’.
Before they return to their families, they must uncover their ulterior motives.
Levia, who made a promise to herself, continued her meal.
