The Escort Knight Who Is Being Obsessed Over by the Villainess Wants To Run Away

35. (1)

It took several days to reach the imperial capital.

Elijah grumbled that it was annoying.

If you teleport, it’s a blink of an eye.

However, you cannot use teleport.

At the time of the founding festival, a large magic obstruction force field is installed based on the ecliptic.

This is to prevent magical terrorism targeting crowded places.

Similarly, a wizard like Elijah leading his privates and using group teleportation would not be welcome in the Empire.

Anyway, the ecliptic of the Helios Empire passed through several gateways.

I have arrived at Yggdrasil.

Perhaps the most luxurious and peaceful city on the present continent.

The scenery also lives up to its reputation.

Well-maintained roads and neatly divided districts make it a thoroughly planned city.

It’s just a neat building.

The day before the start of the foundation festival.

Already, the streets are overflowing with people’s energy.

And far away on a straight road.

A structure that rises taller than any other building.

Amphitheatre, Giudecca was looking over the city.

‘That’s right….’

The place where I lived before reaching Elijah.

Looking at it in real life, it is indescribably majestic.

How did people build that?

The closer I got to Giudecca, the more people there were.

The atmosphere is almost heated.

I see armed people.

Imperial knights stand guard for the order of the festival.

And people who look like troops from elsewhere.

Mercenaries, where knights, or soldiers. Etc.

During the founding festival, competitions are held non-stop in Giudecca.

The day when humans drove out monsters and established a nation on this land for the first time.

To commemorate that day, the battle with the monster is reenacted.

Criminals who are scheduled to be executed fight each other, or knights who fight well slaughter criminals.

In fact, he releases the monsters he has captured from the Demon Realm and makes them fight with the knights.

Nobles also bring enlisted soldiers to send them to Giudecca.

By showing strength, you are communicating indirectly.

Since this is the power we have, let’s not fight as much as possible.

‘I won’t be able to fight because I have to stay by Elijah’s side, but my kids will do well on their own.’

Well-dressed women waved handkerchiefs or even tied them to those who appeared to be fighters.

This is also part of Giudecca’s events.

If you take the woman’s handkerchief and go into battle, she will be able to return safely and develop a good relationship with the woman…. What a superstitious thing to enjoy.

Not everyone really believes in it, it’s half fun.

It’s a festival.

‘Rather than that, what should I do with the monsters that will be released from Giudecca….’

I want to prevent it if possible.

There is no special cause.

It just bothers me that innocent people are left unattended even after knowing they will die.

‘But I can’t get away from Elijah….’

The incident is not happening today.

I should follow Elijah and look for opportunities.

If I can’t do it, you can tell someone in advance.

The carriage stopped in front of a large gate.

The pattern of the bars on the gate was splendid like embroidery.

You can see the garden beyond.

A large fountain spouts water, and the trimmed grass and trees are refreshing.

Behind the garden, there is a large mansion reminiscent of a palace.

It is a place where nobles stay during the foundation festival.

I get off first, then Lia.

Finally, Elijah took my hand and put me down.

A butler came out to meet me in front of the gate.

“It is an honor to meet you, Princess. I will guide you to relieve your travel addiction.”

The gate opened with a polite greeting.

When I glanced behind me, my colleagues who had become members of the SS were standing at an angle.

‘Oh…. They’re doing that as a group, so it looks like they’re there?’

But I can’t help but be curious about the ecliptic.

Occasionally his eyes turned to the side.

Elijah and I entered the mansion at the forefront.

Since the privates live in a place other than the central mansion, they are separated from them for a while.

A mansion much larger than Elijah’s house.

After passing the fountain, open the front door and enter a large hall.

Elijah asked.

“What will happen to the person who is here now?”

“I can’t be exact because I don’t attend all the VIPs….”

The butler then named several families.

There were names I knew, and names I didn’t know.

And last.

“His Majesty also arrived early to welcome guests.”

Emperor John.

“Duke Balak and his children arrived two days ago.”

Balack di Bebel and his family.

Those who want to kill Elijah.

She didn’t answer.

An expressionless face. As usual.

Elijah’s room was luxurious without lacking.

The room facing me is mine, but unlike Elijah, it’s simple.

It didn’t matter.

All I needed was a bed.

After the rough guidance of the mansion, Elijah said.

“I am going to see the emperor. I have something else to tell you, so please wait outside.”

“Okay…. By the way, will you be okay?”

According to Elijah, her emperor wants to kill her.

Is it okay if I just send it to the emperor like that?

Elijah looks up at me and asks.

“Do you think the emperor can kill me in an all-out war?”

… Ah.

I was worried for nothing.

Okay.

No matter how important the justification is, if it was possible, they wouldn’t have used such troublesome methods by gathering various forces like this.

“I’ll be back soon.”

***

Elijah had a private meeting with the emperor.

There is no one else in the room.

She has something to check.

Does the emperor know that she has figured out their intentions?

“Meet the light of the Empire.”

“I am truly honored to meet the person who is called the Second Coming of the Age of Myth.”

Emperor, John said with a generous smile.

A light joke to avoid awkwardness.

“I can’t tell you how grateful I am for showing up at the foundation festival.”

I didn’t mean to be sarcastic.

It was not a very nutritious greeting.

Elijah also tuned in first.

Throws a meaningless greeting that does not contain any meaning.

“I, too, am very grateful to you for giving me your precious time to ask for an audience.”

“I don’t have much to say about an audience.”

Contrary to his usual solemn and quiet appearance, Johann in private was sad.

For an emperor of a large empire, he had quite a light side.

However, it could not be ignored or belittled.

The atmosphere emanating from composure was light and heavy at the same time.

The two had a sad conversation.

It was mainly about the founding festival.

First impressions.

How many days will you stay?

What kind of festival are you looking forward to?

Things like that.

A subject that neither would get any clue about.

It was the same with other topics.

Equilibrium between the demon world and the human world.

Humility and encouragement as a leader who governs a region.

Not necessarily the emperor and Elijah, but words that any other noble could say.

“Are the Young Ae’s bodyguards also participating in the Judeca Dalian this time?”

“Yes. As this is my first time attending, I want to enjoy all the things I can enjoy.”

“I hope it will be a fun festival.”

The two ended the conversation with a smile.

Having a graceful bow, Elijah checked John’s right hand.

A silver ring catches her eye.

It was confirmed for a very brief moment, so John didn’t notice.

Elijah left her seat without looking at anything.

Dark magic. Moonsingyo. Ballack. Assassination of Elijah. Temple of the sun.

I avoided all topics that I had to bring up in order to float.

I didn’t ask anything, so I didn’t get any information.

So, she got all the information.

‘… That’s how it happened.’

*

As soon as Elijah left, John’s expression hardened.

Stiff expressionless.

Rather than a true face, he just took off his mask.

“Heh heh….”

In between a laugh and a sigh.

John brushed his hair.

It’s a habit that comes out when you’re frustrated.

From noble mtl dot com

“You mean you noticed all of that….”

The self-talk came out as a voiceover.

I was so excited and surprised.

I knew she was an extraordinary woman.

But she’d surprise herself.

The emperor was convinced by the conversation just now.

Elijah almost caught on to their plans.

But not all.

If you knew everything at this point, that would be a god, not an extraordinary human being.

At the same time, I can’t be as relaxed as I was just now.

A plan to completely reform this world.

‘Dark Magic, Moon God. I’m pretty sure I was there. But how much do you know about killing Bevel….’

It is a target that cannot be stimulated hastily.

The same goes for Elijah.

‘I will probably collect evidence and organize it into data to publicize this fact. They’ll need forces to support them.’

I can’t move in a hurry.

The plan is on the brink of completion.

Slowly, if you practice moxibustion, an opportunity will come.

Only, John was curious about one thing.

‘At this point, I should have found out his true identity, but why does he keep him around…? ?’

*

Elijah found out nothing. She

Didn’t even bother to find out.

So did the emperor.

All conversations between the two were meaningless.

It was a volatile small talk.

From asking each other nothing, Elijah was sure.

‘I know I noticed.’

Just one connection with black magic is enough to shake the empire’s prestige.

From the emperor’s point of view, he couldn’t help but be curious about Elijah’s information.

How far did you find out?

However, the emperor did not try to find out anything.

In other words, there is no need to find out.

‘Just as I don’t know everything, the emperor doesn’t know everything about me. Even so, the fact that there is no sign of Caball means that all important matters are within the range of information that the emperor can guess.’

If you dare to pry yourself out, you may leak information.

I didn’t take that risk because I didn’t have to.

‘Dark Magic, Moon Godism, and neglect of war. Everything is clear What is left is the contact with Bevel Family….’

A tired fight for justification.

Elijah pressed her eyes and held her heart.

There is still a long way to go for a clear victory.

Even if everyone else dies, you have to live and see the results.

With her eyes on the fall of her enemies, she will stand proudly in front of her mother’s tombstone.

Wars must be won before they begin.

Remembering the truth, I went back to Judas….

“Oh, be dignified. Are you participating in this Judecca duel?”

“If no one has received it yet, my handkerchief….”

“Hey! Because I came first?”

Some aristocratic bastards gathered around Judas.

‘… ….’

I was going to leave it outside until the foundation festival was over.

I haven’t even chosen a mountain yet.

‘… Should I check out the nearest mountain?’

Elijah moved toward them, clutching his throbbing brow.
