30 – Pig Hunt (3)

The academy was a heaven made on earth.

Not only the reputation of being one of the three major buildings in the kingdom, but also the countless children of nobles who are expelled from the academy every year, and the various expenses poured in to satisfy them.

Since no money was actually created by the academy, the money spent on the academy was literally pouring gold and diamonds into the trash.

Heaven on earth was created that way.

A land of honey that is so gorgeous that there are nobles who want to stay at the academy even during vacation, saying they don’t want to go back to their family.

Now, that place is burning.

“The worms that live in this kingdom!”

The revolutionary army that attacked the academy was pushed back by the kingdom army.

It was natural.

They are a revolutionary army that grew up through training by themselves while living in the darkness of the royal capital and receiving help from citizens.

On the other hand, who is the opponent?

With the support of the kingdom, the kingdom army learned how to train the body and swordsmanship made in a long history.

Combat skills, physical abilities, equipment, and systems are all superior to the Kingdom Army.

If it was normal, it would be clear that the revolutionary army would not be able to drag it out for long and would be defeated, but the revolutionary army managed to survive with the latest weapons they brought.

Gunpowder developed in other countries. A bomb made of that gunpowder.

Although they had already used up all of them, the revolutionary army still fought with the appearance that they had bombs, and because of that, the movement of the kingdom army became a little passive.

If they were concentrated, they would suffer great damage, so there were times when they were pushed back by the revolutionary army’s narrow-minded attack as the kingdom forces kept their distance from each other.

Next, I only got three guns, but I brought a ‘small cannon’ from this raid, a matchlock.

A weapon beyond the sea that has not yet been developed in the kingdom and near the kingdom.

The three revolutionary soldiers, escorted from the roof, quickly loaded gunpowder into the muzzle as they had been trained to, and compressed the gunpowder with sticks.

After loading the gunpowder, insert the iron ball into the muzzle, light the wick attached to the iron, and aim at the enemy.

When the trigger is pulled, the iron goes down, the lit wick comes in contact with the gunpowder, and the gunpowder explodes, and the ball is blown away.

bang!

An intense sound resounded, and one of the kingdom troops collapsed.

“Damn it!”

“What kind of attack is this?!”

The Kingdom Army was unimaginable.

In a situation where the kingdom army was ahead in quality and numbers and the revolution army was enduring with the superiority of a few weapons, at the center of the battlefield was a mansion built by a prince.

bang!

“Kyaaah!”

“Aww!”

Hearing the gunshot, Tiara, who was running inside the mansion, collapsed in surprise.

The same was true of the prince next to the tiara.

“found! A prince!”

And the revolutionary army, who hid inside to avoid the escorts of the mansion, rushed at them.

“Kuk!”

The moment the frightened prince took a step back.

Clink!

The glass window is broken and the kingdom army protrudes and attacks the revolutionary army.

“Prince! Run away!”

“Ah, yes!”

“uh? uh?”

The prince grabbed the confused tiara and ran.

“Hey, that person!”

“It’s fine! Because that is their duty!”

The prince shouted and headed for the secret passage secretly requested at the time of building the mansion.

Tiara, who turned her head back, made one person her companion, but struggled alone and saw the kingdom army die with spears stabbed all over its body.

At the tip of the blue-shining dagger, bright red blood is so painful that it hurts the eyes.

Blood pours.

a person falls

death.

The days that should continue in peaceful daily life.

The day comes to an abrupt end, and Death reveals it to Tiara.

‘Why did this happen?’

Why did he, a commoner, become the target of the revolutionary army?

Why did she, the prince’s fiancée, get caught up in this?

All the reasons were obvious, but Tiara didn’t have the brain to connect the cause and effect between them.

The talent for thinking and the ability to reason come from education and experience.

So I couldn’t understand.

that he was loved by the prince.

Monia, who had been terribly harassing herself, disappeared.

She officially became the prince’s fiancée.

That he had changed his situation 180 degrees from before, and fell into a world of filthy strife buried under a world of glamorous aristocrats who smeared poison on their tongues, smiled forward, and thrust daggers behind them.

She had no idea what it was.

On the first day that Monia was abandoned on a floating island, she learned about hunger and thirst she had never known before.

She, who was only happy to be chosen by the prince, had no way of knowing how harsh the world she had entered.

And now.

Death unfolds before her.

“Run away, Prince!”

A bloodied academy guard collapses.

The blue blade of the Revolutionary Army swings.

A fallen guard gets up and stabs the revolutionary with a dagger.

“Kureuk!”

The revolutionary army swung a sword and killed the guard, spitting blood from its mouth.

They try to kill each other while bleeding each other.

There was nothing there.

Their thoughts, reason, will, and justice.

There must have been something, but from Tiara’s point of view, there was nothing.

just kill each other

There was something far from the natural principle of life, ‘killing to live’.

Among the many beasts in this world, only humans can wage a ‘confrontation of ideas’.

T-ara, who lived in the world without thinking, unfolds a fragment of an unknown world that cannot be understood and accepted.

Tiara was terrified of that fact, seeing people killing people because of things she didn’t know.

Jordi and Tiara ran through the mansion, where blood, swords, flames and arrows raged while sweating profusely.

The mansion was spacious.

It was really unnecessarily wide.

‘Why did you build such a spacious mansion!’

T-ara, who had been happily living here, exclaimed inwardly.

I never imagined that what was just beautiful and happy would turn into something uncomfortable and irritating.

“I found it, here it is!”

The moment Jordi opened the secret passage on the first floor, the revolutionary army attacked.

“uh?!”

While the tiara was frightened, Jordi, who entered the secret passage alone, shouted.

“what are you doing! Come on!”

“Oh, kyaa!”

Tired of seeing Jordi running in the distance, Tiara started to run hurriedly, and the moment the revolutionary army saw it, it was about to run.

Fu-wook!

“Aww!”

One of the revolutionaries with him pierces the heart of one of his comrades with a knife and decapitates another with a dagger.

“you… … you! Did you betray me!”

As the pierced-hearted comrade spoke with blood dripping from his mouth, he shrugged.

“What is betrayal? You raised your sword for our lord.”

“what… !”

“Can’t the prince get caught here and the chaos end quickly? We have to bleed for a little longer.”

At first, obviously, the destruction of the academy, and the capture of the sons of nobles, including the prince.

However, the confrontation that started with ideology quickly flares up, paralyzing people’s reason and driving them to madness.

The flames of war and madness, which were sure to be extinguished in an instant the moment the prince was captured, were sure to burn until either side was extinguished unless the prince was caught.

Because the reason for the fire to go out is gone.

The man took out a bomb, lit the wick, and left.

Shortly thereafter, a bomb exploded, burying the mansion’s secret passage beneath the rubble, along with the corpses of two revolutionaries.

“Unfortunately, I missed the pig.”

The man, a revolutionary soldier and duke’s knight, spoke casually and knocked down the academy guards who attacked him.

And Jordy and Tiara, unaware of this fact, ran through the dark passage without stopping despite the pain that made their lungs explode.

into the dark, into the dark.

I continued to run into deeper darkness.

* * *

“Damn it! Missed!”

“What is so fast! On the subject of pigs!”

Chester and Monia looked at the pig that was running away.

Despite being hit by Chester’s arrow, the pig was still running.

“Come after me!”

“no… .”

Chester gave up the chase when he saw the pig disappeared without a trace.

“I would do it alone, but it’s impossible with you.”

“Yes?”

“I cannot leave you alone.”

Chester’s words left Monia speechless.

It seemed that a smirk would come out without realizing it, but Monia, who did not know the reaction of her own body and unconsciously hid her smile, said.

“Well, then what about that pig?”

“It’s fine. As long as we have it, we will be able to hunt someday.”

Chester saw the restless Monia and patted her on the back.

What you do every time Chester compliments you.

Strangely, after receiving such an action, Monia actually felt her heart calm down.

“If you can catch it, you catch it; if you fail, you fail.”

“… It’s relaxing.”

“Well, missing a pig isn’t fatal, is it? I’d like to stock up on more food, but it’s not urgent today.”

Chester showed the smoked mammal meat from his basket.

There was no reason for them to starve or have a hard time today just because they couldn’t catch a pig.

“Of course, that pig is exceptionally delicious, but… Other than that, it’s not worth much, is it? It is not necessary in life.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Like a pig, it’s good if you catch it, or not.

It was good.

for Chester.

“… … But what if I really want to catch it?”

“Then shall we catch it?”

Chester said lightly.

“But, not me, but Monia you.”

“… … Yes?”

“You are hunting.”

Monia’s eyes widened at Chester’s words.
