Academy’s Weapon Replicator chapter 294

Chapter 88: Lili’s Knight (4)

Ameline held her breath in the carriage as she waited for Frondier to return.

I swallow my pounding heart and bury my face in my knees.

As Frondier read, Ammeline is now more excited than afraid.

Ameline doesn’t know exactly how this plan goes. Because it’s no fun if you know everything. The entire plan was created by her family. Light entertainment for my daughter.

So, although she does not know the exact circumstances, Ameline predicts that the group of bandits that have appeared now is also a production prepared by the family.

However, since you can’t be sure, you may have a small fear that bandits may have really appeared, and that fear becomes the material for the excitement that spreads even further.

Boom! Quang! Ujijik!

Loud sounds coming from beyond the carriage. Hearing that sound, Ameline lets her imagination run wild. The sight of Frontiere defeating enemies with great splendor.

What weapon does Frontier use? Is it really a sword? What are your skills? If it was a bandit, you would take it down without even a scratch, right? What is the season when the leader of Mangot was defeated?

Ameline raised her head. Imagination gives rise to curiosity, and curiosity is translated into action.

Until now, I was still a little scared, and more than anything, I couldn’t move because I felt like I was a ‘protected girl’ by staying here, but I was more curious about how Frontier fought.

At that time, Ameline approached the wall of the carriage and slowly opened the door.

Squeak.

“I’m back, miss.”

Before him, Frondier opened the carriage door and came in.

“ah! Oh, you’re here.”

Ameline vaguely folded her outstretched hand and spoke. Frontier saw that for a moment.

Creepy.

Ameline got goosebumps for no reason at the look in Frondier’s eyes for a moment. There was no life or hostility in those eyes. His expression was the same as before leaving the carriage.

Yes, Frondier came back looking the same as before he left the carriage.

‘Let alone a scratch, not even a single speck of dust… … !’

When Ameline was amazed at that fact again.

“… … after.”

With a short sigh and a smile, Frondier takes Ameline’s outstretched hand and gently lowers it.

“Don’t look. “It’s not something you can put into your eyes.”

“Oh, yes, yes. sorry.”

After Frontier came in, the carriage moved again. Frontier and Ameline sat in the same position as before the bandits appeared.

As before, Ameline talks to Frondier, and Frondier makes Ameline feel better with an appropriate answer.

It was no different from before.

The temperature in Frondier’s eyes had clearly dropped further.

Empress Fili paused for a moment while reading the document.

“Sir Robert.”

Fili called the name of the knight who was guarding her side.

Robert, who returned to the imperial palace after a long time, bowed his head.

“yes.”

“Did Frontiere decide to become Lili’s knight?”

“Yes, a report has been posted. “They say he was sent on a mission today.”

At those words, Fili’s face frowned in a rare way.

“I told you to forward all reports related to Frontier to me for the time being.”

“… … There are so many trivial reports, mistakes were made in the classification process—”

“Robert.”

Fili interrupted Robert. Immediately Robert got down on one knee.

“Robert has some bad habits. “I think I’ve said it before, but don’t try to interpret the ‘back’ of my orders.”

“… … yes.”

“I told them to forward ‘the whole’ report to me. “Did I tell you to sort it out, important or not?”

“no. “It was my opinion.”

“I will forgive you this once. Because I trust Sir Robert. From now on, please forward all related documents and communications to me without exception.”

“… … .”

As Robert remained silent, Fili’s face became more unpleasant.

“You’re not answering. “Robert.”

“I am offended, Your Majesty. “If His Highness sets his sights on a certain individual, that alone will cause unnecessary noise in the imperial palace.”

Robert is not rebelling against Fili’s orders.

I just decided that this situation was dangerous.

The name of Frontier is still on people’s lips often these days. Meanwhile, if they hear that Fili is paying attention to Frondier’s every move, those who like to talk might spread some nonsense.

Ha, Fili’s sigh is long.

“I guess it was because of that. Sir Robert, I like you because you are very loyal and quiet, but I also have to think about whether that is too extreme. It’s okay, so don’t worry about that.”

“… … Yes, Your Majesty.”

“You didn’t say what you said correctly. It was really okay. “I’m not saying that I can endure it or that it’s worth enduring, but that it’s literally okay.”

“… … ?”

At Philly’s words, a question appears on Robert’s face.

Fili spoke again.

“The reason I receive all the reports related to Frontier is not just that one person’s problem.”

Fili’s eyes tilt to the side for a moment.

“As time passes, everyone in the imperial palace will know the reason.”

* * *

Bandits weren’t the only thing hindering Ameline’s trip.

While the carriage was moving, strange crying sounds rang out in succession, and a loud noise that seemed to be a landslide came from the cliff on the left.

However, except when he first encountered bandits, Frondier did not get out of the carriage. The carriage didn’t even stop in the first place.

The sound that was heard disappeared after a while. Strange cries, landslides, and falling rocks were just sounds and had no effect on the carriage.

If there hadn’t been that sound, Ameline would have thought nothing had happened.

“… … .”

“… … .”

At this point, Ameline also felt that things were going a little differently than she expected.

Since it was just entertainment, the sounds coming from outside were not unusual. Ameline’s fear did not increase as the sounds disappeared even though Frondier was sitting here still, but it was strange that Frondier remained silent and unresponsive in the first place.

It’s as if everything around him is being made up as if it never happened.

Meanwhile, Ameline began to notice Frondier.

‘… … ‘They knew who I was.’

Frontier was thinking about the fake bandits he had met.

Of course, the sounds Ameline heard afterwards were exactly as she had guessed. Flying monsters attacked, a landslide occurred from above, and rocks tumbled down.

However, Frontier used Black Heaven to block it in advance. With his sixth sense, he could deal with everything right from his seat in the carriage.

‘You attacked me even though you knew who I was. Even though I knew for sure that I wouldn’t win.’

Frontier had no intention of being conceited about his own skills, but it was true that the attackers were far inferior to him.

If we knew that it was Frontier who killed the head of Mangot, it would have been better to bring a similar number of people or skilled people, or to not even try.

‘… … To understand this situation, even though I knew I was Ameline’s bodyguard, I couldn’t stop the operation.’

In other words, Ameline had to be killed no matter what.

For the enemy, Ameline is something very important or something very urgent.

Why Ameline? She is not a strong person, nor is she in a high political position. It may be true that the family has a lot of money, but it makes no sense to attack Frontier to take advantage of that.

“… … “Hey, knight.”

While Frondier’s thoughts were moving forward, Ameline spoke carefully.

“yes. “What is it?”

“It’s a lot noisy around, isn’t it? Ahahahaha.”

Ameline said that and gave a dry laugh. Frondier smiled softly at that. Just like always.

But what came next:

“miss.”

It was a bit unexpected for Ameline.

“Do you remember when we first met?”

“… … yes?”

“I’m just asking.”

Ameline’s mouth stopped for a moment.

If you look at the line itself, it is truly romantic. These are words that seem to be asked by long-time lovers who have built trust in each other.

However, because this situation was not entirely romantic, Ameline answered in a slightly tense voice.

“Well, of course I remember. “We met at the imperial palace, right?”

“yes. Ameline came up to me and said hello. “It was my first time attending an imperial palace banquet, so I was really grateful to Ameline who approached me first.”

“W-what… … .”

Ameline’s face turned slightly red. I’m happy to hear that she’s grateful, but I’m also a little embarrassed that she approached me first.

“But as time passed, I thought it was a little strange.”

“Is it strange?”

“I was wondering why Ameline was the first to approach someone like me rather than anyone else. “At the time, I wasn’t a great person at all.”

Ameline blinks briefly at Frondier’s words. Frontier’s face has a self-deprecating smile. Ameline was convinced by that face. Frontier is sincere. That’s what I was really curious about.

“Well, you told me when we first met, right? I’ve been wanting to meet Mr. Frontier for a long time, and I’ve heard about the joint operation’s success… … .”

Frondier shakes his head there.

“You don’t have to lie like that anymore.”

“… … Driver… … .”

“Before the joint operation, I was a person who literally had nothing. There’s no way Ameline knew about me. “In addition, there was a promising player who performed better than me in joint operations.”

At that party was No. 1 professional Eden Hamelot. The man who officially made the biggest splash. In fact, everyone else greeted outstanding performers like Eden first, and Frontier came second.

Only Ameline found Frondier before anyone else. That’s why Ameline was a step faster than anyone else who greeted Frondier.

“miss. “I think I have built more trust with you through this trip.”

“Well, me too.”

“I don’t mean to accuse you of lying. I’m just curious. “You didn’t approach me with bad intentions, right?”

“Oh, of course!”

Ameline nodded as if it was obvious and clenched her fists. Frondier asked him again.

“Why did you come to see me in the first place? “It’s just pure curiosity.”

“Oh, that, I… … .”

As Frondier said, Ameline did not approach Frondier with any bad intentions.

However, that moment was such a trivial thing for Ameline that she can’t immediately recall it now that so much time has passed.

“Have you heard anything about me from someone?”

“uh, ah! that’s right!”

“… … For example, ‘Joseph von Wechsler’, or,”

match!

Ameline clapped her hands together.

As soon as Frondier mentioned that name, her face lit up.

“that’s right! “My uncle told me about it!”

“… … “My maternal uncle, Josef, is my maternal uncle.”

“yes! “It would be great to become friends with Frontier, he is a hidden gem of this empire!”

Ameline’s face brightened, as if she was satisfied that her memory had come to her.

On the contrary, Frondier’s smile gradually hardened, and his head slowly lowered.

‘… … Josef von Wechsler.’

There is no other reason why Frontier knows that name.

… … This is because he is one of the masterminds of the ‘mana injection’ incident.

One of the members of the dark department who made a contract with the devil for mana injection and lost his life to the devil.

Originally, he was the person that Frondeer had tried to find directly at Fili’s request, but he was suddenly attacked by May, and the person who was ruined by her attack, which was the disaster of Metamorph at the time.

“… … “Did your uncle say anything else?”

“Hmm, he said that if the conversation with Frontier goes well, humanity will make great progress. “They say it is a solution that will change the fundamentals of humanity.”

“… … “By any chance, are you talking about mana?”

“Yes, that’s right! As expected, Frontier, you also talked to your uncle!”

Ameline has yet to notice that Frondier’s smile has hardened, and Ammeline’s face is still full of joy.

“You said that humanity’s mana will grow dramatically. “It is a technology that allows mana to enter the body without causing any harm to the human body.”

“Have you ever said that to anyone else?”

“huh? no. My uncle told me that this was a secret… … oh! But I said it! Well, it’s okay, right? Frontier already knows this. “Right?”

“… … of course. “I already know this.”

This is something you already know.

And a story that I thought no one would know except Frondier and Empress Fili.

in other words.

“… … “You are the only one.”

“huh? What? What is unique?”

Even though I know the dark secret.

I don’t even know how important a secret it is,

A person who is highly likely to have been discovered by the shadow manager that he had secrets.

‘… … ‘Riri.’

I remember Lily’s face smiling brightly as she handed me today’s mission.

If you get involved wrongly with Ameline’s situation now, there is a chance that you will get caught up in the imperial palace. If you’re not careful, Frondier may become an enemy of the imperial palace.

That is no different from becoming an enemy of the entire empire.

It was Frontier who stopped the Ambu’s plan together with Fili, but it was not the entire Ambu’s plan. It simply blocks some overly radical movements.

Philly acknowledges the existence of the dark side. I know that the Empire needs Ambu.

Therefore, we must prevent a situation where the existence of the hidden part is revealed.

And we can never allow such indecent behavior to be exposed by a soft-spoken young lady.

‘Lily, you did something funny to me.’

The best thing for Frontier now is to get out of this case.

Then, whether it’s the secretariat or the imperial palace, they will ‘deal with’ Ameline on their own.

… … however.

Frondier finally began to see through Lili’s true intentions.

─Frondier has no mercy towards his enemies, but he gives all his attention to his allies without caring about himself.

─Then what about this time? Although he is neither an enemy nor an ally, he has no intention of harming you and is rather kind to you. But if you’re together, you’re a bomb that will definitely get caught up in it.

─Would you become an enemy of the empire to save a girl you barely know? Or are you going to pretend not to notice that a girl is dying?

-Frondier, you know that I am not your enemy. You already know how to avoid getting hurt, right?

─I just want to know. What kind of person are you?
