Chapter 167: Exit (3)

Two priests who reside in the Lords Castle left with th

I didnt even listen to Ganaels sentences until the end.

I ran into the bathroom, cleaned myself, and then put on some comfortable shirt and pants before wearing my boots.

I just had warm milk and three pieces of chaussons aux pommes for breakfast.

Ganael, who saw how little I ate, looked as if he might start crying at any moment.

I got ready almost instantly and stood in front of the young boy and Benjamin.

Ive packed everything. Drinking water, snacks, painkillers, clean cloths, extra clothes, emergency dagger. The crystal bell is over here. I also put the headdress in there just in case.

I picked up the bag that went across my chest as I spoke.

Ganael looked pale and Benjamin seemed quite concerned as well.

The two of them were saying things like, his Royal Highness and Dame Sarnez did that because they care about you, but they could not actively stop me.

I did my best to relax my face that was continuously getting stiff from anger.

Even if Im weak, how could you guys go without me? Im the two of your priest partner!

Your highness, what about a guard? You cannot go by yourself.

Itll be fine because I have Sir Johann.

Ganael opened and closed his mouth without being able to say anything at my answer.

I knelt down to hug Demy, Rhea, Perry, and Tith.

Demy must have read my thoughts as he pushed on my stomach and whined.

Yes, how could I trick our boss?

You guys stay in the castle. It might be even more dangerous than during the Great Clearance.

Screeeech

Sorry. Can you stay here and protect our friends? Look after Tith as well. You can do it, right?

Whimper

Demys black bean-like eyes teared up.

It made me weak but I could not get myself to tell him to come with me.

It could not be helped even if someone pointed out that I was doing to them exactly as Christelle and that crown prince bastard had done to me.

Even if they had amazing abilities, they were little animals that could not speak human language.

I clearly remembered how Rhea and Perry had been hiding in the corner of the reed field shaking in fear near the end of the Great Clearance of Demonic Beasts.

It would be different if I was in a situation with no choice, but I could not take the divine beasts as weapons and take them with me.

I was their temporary guardian after all.

I leave it to you, Demy.

I shook hands with him and looked at Percy who was sitting on the back of my hand.

The chimney bird tilted his body and made eye contact with me.

Percy, you cant come with me because you are a divine item. You know that, right?

Pipi.

Yeah, I wont repeat myself since you are the smartest bird in the world.

I tickled the little guys chest and then got up.

I did make a deal with Percy but I was not his master.

Furthermore, the one who warned me that something might happen if all of the divine items gathered together was none other than the Ark of the Wind Deity.

A serious incident might happen if Percy headed toward the Jungle where the rest of the divine items were gathered.

Ill be back soon.

Aarf

Tith let out a short cry.

I left the divine beasts and walked down the hallway before peeking into Lady Isabelles room.

It seemed as if Eva was still not awake.

She was young and, unlike me, didnt have experience with things like this, so she could not go with me.

Please take good care of Eva.

Yes, your highness.

Where is Sir Johann?

He is probably in the lobby.

Benjamin answered in a low voice. I quickly headed toward the lobby of the tower.

I was a bit disappointed that Sir Johann did not stop the two main characters, but I decided to think that it was for the better.Reaad the latest stories on novelbin(.)com

I would not have had a strong person to guard me if he left with them to the jungle.

Tap, tap, tap!

Good morning, Sir Johann.

Hello, your highness.

I jumped the last set of steps two at a time.

Sir Johann, whose white hair was neatly tied down as usual, placed his hand over his chest and showed his respect.

The staff who were filling Tiths water tank with new water also bowed.

I bowed back and quickly approached the Holy Knight and rattled on.

I must ask you for this because you came as my guard. Please take me to where Dame Sarnez and his Royal Highness are right now. I packed everything I need and all we need are two horses. If we ask Lord Blanquer,

Your highness, I must apologize as I am unable to do as you requested.

Sir Johann cut me off in a cool tone. I was at a loss for words and looked up at him.

It was even understandable that this seemed like an obsession.

But still, this is a bit

Your grace. To do this all of the sudden,

What do you mean all of a sudden? I told the Duchess that I was going to leave last night as well.

I quickly turned my gaze. There was a commotion outside.

The knight and soldiers guarding the rear of our tower seemed to be trying to dissuade someone.

An old woman wearing plain archbishop attire was with her attendant, servant, and a bunch of baggage handlers, trying to leave.

I could hear much better once I put my ear against the slightly open window.

Your grace, we would not have stopped you if you left at that time. However, the Lords Castle is currently closed off and nobody is allowed to leave until the Duchess-nim says that it is safe. The path is dangerous, madam.

Im sure it would still be safer than the guest room. The light fell and I almost died!

She waved her Holy Staff around and raised her voice. Ganael, who had approached the window at some point, whispered to me.

That is Archbishop Eugnie Kessi. Yesterday, in the plaza

I suddenly recalled an image after hearing the young boys comment.

This is crazy business. I will be leaving.

The old woman who had pulled her jacket over her shoulders and snapped at the Duchess I blinked my eyes.

She never left?

I dont know what she is thinking, but She is that person, your highness. She is also the Archbishop who refused to meet you in Srnit.

My jaws dropped on their own.

The first time I went around my territory, I wanted to meet the Archbishops of Srnit and the entire Southwestern Archdiocese.

However, she rejected it saying she was busy. Benjamin had explained that it was probably because she was keeping me in check.

That was this grandma?

Please move. My ward is waiting for me.

Your grace!

The knight who was placed in a complicated situation chased after her.

His figure disappeared but I could still hear him desperately asking her to please stay inside.

I was listening to it as if it had nothing to do with me before I quickly snapped back to my senses.

Jackpot. This means that there is no knight in the back right now.

Hey kids, it is your turn to perform.

I buried my face into the bundle of red pandas and whispered in a sullen voice.

Ganael and Eva both flinched.

*

Thats perfect. Our esteemed divine beasts are truly the best. Oh wonderful messengers of the Almighty God, I will continue to serve you with everything I have.

Kiiiiiii!

Squeak!

Kyuu.

Rhea, Perry, and Demy appealed their greatness one after the other.

I nodded my head like a car air freshener and hung my leg over the window.

I grabbed the bag I packed just in case, confirmed that the vines around me were firm, and took a few deep breaths.

Benjamin, who heard the news and came over, stood next to Ganael and watched me.

Eva had gone down to the lobby first. It was so that she could distract Sir Johann.

Please dont worry. I will place a Divine Oracle on a soldier and safely enter. I will not go all the way up to where they are fighting and just check from a distance. I will come right back if the two of them seem okay.

I had no desire to act foolish and end up a nuisance.

I was planning on running away as quickly as possible if things seemed off.

Please be careful, your highness.

Benjamin tightly held the vine tied to the bedpost and pleaded.

I gave him a thumbs up, smiled, and descended the wall of the tower without any hesitation.

Jung Yeseo will return in < I quit my job and ended up as a noble young lady in another world 2 >.

Tap!

My descending speed was pretty fast but my experience doing this twice in the army helped.

Mm, the tip of my nose is twitching.

Tap!

Alright, Im all the way d!

Your highness.

Mommy!

I felt my body go stiff and stopped 5 meters in the air.

I started shaking after hearing the breeze-like voice. My neck felt as if it was creaking as I turned.

Im sorry, your highness. I could not trick him. Sir Johann is extremely cunning like a white fox!

Eva, who was being carried by the Holy Knight, flailed as she shouted.

Damn it, Im back to square one!

Sir Johann is indeed a difficult boss to overcome.
