“Ari . ”
Ari was waiting at the promised place with Dylan . It was to give me the luggage that I had left in advance . Ari snorted as she handed over a suitcase that anyone could see was suspicious .
“Eonni…”
“Why are you crying?”
“I’m not crying . It’s just tears . ”
……what’s the difference? Looking to the side, Dylan had a similar look with me .
Ari hurriedly rubbed the tip of her nose with her sleeve .
“No, I said the wrong thing . I just had a runny nose . ”
“Yes, yes . ”
“Eonni . ”
“Huh?”
Ari stared at me .
She said she had a runny nose but her brown eyes were wet .
“This is for the best, isn’t it?”
“…… . ”
“There’s no other option, right? So, for example, if we work together to defeat a villain, it’s hard to do that, right?”
“It’s not that difficult . ”
I just didn’t really want to commit suicide with Ari in that way . Moreover, even if I succeed with luck, it wouldn’t be best for me .
I reached out and stroked Ari’s head . I don’t know what Ari’s real hair would be like, but Agrita’s hair was soft anyway .
“Take care . ”
“… . ”
“Here or elsewhere . ”
Dylan’s presence saved my breath . Ari eventually pushed the grubby tears out of her eyes .
“Eonni too…”
Ari whispered, sniffing .
“You have to be well . ”
Dylan skillfully pulled out her handkerchief, leaving the dripping tears untouched .
I smiled bitterly and caught the sight in my eyes .
“Why are there so many tears?”
“Because it’s sad . Aren’t you sad?”
“I think I’m a little less sad because you’re so sad . ”
“……write me a letter Once you get anywhere safely, you know? There’s a code that only we know . No one will ever recognize you . ”
Does she mean Hangul? I nodded my head .
“Promise me . You’ll send me a letter . Just see if you don’t write one……”
“Okay . ”
Ari, who had heard the answer, continued to rummage .
I widened my eyes the next moment .
“Take this . ”
“This is…”
“You told me to burn it, but I didn’t burn it and I just kept it . Just in case, I thought . ”
The Enchanted cloth, Ari carried a light blue cloth that was familiar to me . I took it by surprise .
“That’s a treasure anyway . If you take it, it might be useful in times of crisis . And also…”
Ari then handed me a small pocket .
And as soon as I got it, I could see what was inside without having to open it .
“Ari!”
“I didn’t give you everything . To be honest, I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future . It’s just that it’s just… Because eonni blew out a few you had for me in the past . I’ve only transferred that . ”
The feel of the hard bead was clearly felt through the palm of my hand . I was embarrassed .
“You don’t have to . You don’t have to . ”
“I’m giving it to you because I want to . ”
“But this is…… . ”
“I don’t know . I already gave it to you . If you don’t pick it up, I’ll break it with the pocket here, so take care of it . ”
I blinked my eyes .
Ari, who spoke with threatening remarks, was still in tears .
“……thanks . ”
“This is nothing . ”
I finally hugged Ari .
I said I wouldn’t say goodbye and hug because it seemed like a final goodbye, but now it’s really the last time .
Dylan and I said goodbye by simply shaking hands .
Dylan didn’t seem to know everything, but she didn’t ask me anything .
Soon after, I left the two behind .
When I loaded myself back into the carriage, my head suddenly felt numb .
‘Where am I going now?’
First of all, I should go to a nearby inn and change my outfit . The maid’s uniform was helpful when I left the mansion, but it was a striking outfit to get around the streets .
I change into normal clothes in my luggage bag, and I wear a wig .
‘And then?’
I tried hard to roll my dazed head .
When I first planned to run away, I tried to go south . I was going to go and get on the boat . That’s why I searched for a ship .
‘But since Ash has gone to the south . ’
It’s too dangerous to go down south as originally planned, hoping not to bump into each other .
‘West, or North . ’
The east was a long way to the border .
When I looked at the map, the capital was tilted west rather than the centre .
“……let’s go west . ”
Simply put, it may seem better to go north in the opposite direction from Ash, but if I went to the north, I have to pass through the forest in the middle .
It was quite a vast forest, not as much as it was in the south, but it was a bit cautious to guarantee safety in the process of crossing .
I decided to head to the west, where private houses continued to the border .
‘Haah . ’
I felt like I used all my heart in the process of deciding which way to go .
I changed my clothes and wore the wig at the inn that arrived a little later .
The maid’s uniform, which I was wearing, was secretly disposed of by the inn employee after giving her money .
Then, before leaving the inn, I suddenly looked in the mirror .
A shaggy brown hair with a slight covering of the neck, plain men’s casual attire that is not noticeable .
I didn’t cover his face, but I looked like a different person at first glance .
I made eye contact with a stranger me in the mirror .
“… . ”
It suddenly hit me .
That I’m running away .
I have abandoned everything that has been going on in my life and I am running away without anything .
“…Ah . ”
I let go of the doorknob in the inn I was holding .
I couldn’t walk among people who were crying for getting attention to advertise or something like that . I couldn’t .
I stayed there long before I could get out of the room .
Knight Ilada Xst, who was formally admitted two years ago, had one long-cherished wish .
‘Wait, you Axis of Evil . ’
It’s to give cold-blooded retribution to an evil monster that afflicts human life . Of course, it’s too much to do alone . Monsters are scary anyway .
He already knew that it would be difficult for him to do so in his own power .
‘So he volunteered for this subjugation . ’
In fact, it was quite a conflict at first . It could have been dangerous .
Ilada wanted to draw the sword of justice towards the monster, but at the same time, he wanted to be safe .
To be honest, it was really his wish that he would use his last time to draw his sword for the monsters who killed almost everyone else .
‘I didn’t trust the Count a little bit in that respect . He’s a man of record, but no skill, and more than that he’s old, and I’m not sure if he’ll be able to take the lead in sweeping the monsters…… . ’
For that reason, even though the long-awaited opportunity for the monster conquest was just around the corner, he could hardly make up his mind and continued to be torn to the brink .
It was then that he heard the news that the leader of the subjugative force was changing .
Something really happened to Count Ilada . He lay down on his bed because of chronic disease .
So the new leader…… .
Ilada led the pack from the lead, glancing at the moving black horse and its rider .
‘The Duke of Widgreen . ’
There was a smile on Ilada’s lips .
‘This was a complete relief . ’
As soon as Ilada heard that the person in charge had been changed to a duke, he submitted an application to the subjugative force without any worries .
He bet there were quite a few people like himself .
He said, ‘That’s the Duke of Widgreen’ .
No one in the article doesn’t know about the Duke of Widgreen .
Sometimes he was treated like a fool .
But The Duke of Widgreen was a monster . Those who saw him using the sword in person said that .
That talent was God’s gift, or it must have been stolen from the devil .
‘The point was that either way he is not human . ’
Surely there were too many human beings who felt sorry for putting that skill into the category of human beings . Including Ilada himself .
Anyway, it was a monster subjugative force led by such a duke .
Is there really a safer and sure guarantee than this?
‘I’ll just have to follow behind and remember to check and shoot the monster to death . ’
Sometimes if there’s some monster who’s not out of breath, he’ll definitely cut it off .
Perfect . This is it . Ilada was already excited before he even reached the South .
Easy, quick and safe wish fulfilment was finally at hand .
“Ah, by the way, the Duke family knights must have been part of the subjugative expedition . I was also curious about their skill, but I’m sorry . ’
It was when Ilada Xst had just thought so .
“Purrung!”
“… . …!”
The Black Horse stopped moving . Something blocked the front .
The opponent, who appeared to block the horse’s course, was armed with black clothes . Though suspicious at a glance, Ilada did not rush forward .
As soon as the opponent appeared, he bowed his head to Duke Widgreen .
Ilada did not miss a glimpse of the perfect beauty of the Duke of Widgreen .
“I’m sorry, Master . – No, sir . I know I’m just showing up like this without permission, but it’s too urgent to…… . ”
“What is it?”
The opponent who raised his head delivered a letter to the Duke . The Duke read the letter with a dry touch .
‘What’s that about?’
Ilada slipped his head out of curiosity . But even when he widened his eyes, he couldn’t see the letters on the paper well .
It was the next moment .
“…?!”
“Your Excellency!”
The Duke of Widgreen turned his head . No one could catch him who was suddenly leaving his seat .
