Became the Escort Knight That the Princesses Were Obsessed With chapter 151

151. Deep Night (7)

“I am Hummels Hobed, the son of the Black Elder!”

Everyone became quiet at his confession.

「This is ridiculous. You’ve been quiet all this time, but now you’re coming out….」

The Elder Wolf glanced at me and Hobett and asked with cold red eyes.

「Since you can’t see a way to live, are you going to pretend to be a child even though it’s too late?」

“No, there is clear evidence that I am Hummels’ child!”

The knight shouted so loudly that his mustache twitched.

Afterwards, he pointed at me and said.

“Ask that man, what is his father’s family name! “You wouldn’t know because you’re not even a Bacal person in the first place!”

「….」

Then the old wolf glanced down at me.

Then, he asked.

「What is the family name…? ?」

“Uh….”

I hesitated to answer his question.

Then he could barely answer one name that came to mind.

“Looper…. “This is Hummels Looper.”

The only name that suddenly came to mind was that senior pig.

Then, Hobett confidently shouted that it was good.

“Look, they don’t even know our family name… ! The answer is Hummels Cesar!”

「Then, how have you been hiding the fact that you are the son of an elder?」

The Elder Wolf pointed at his staff and asked calmly.

Princess Tina also asked as if agreeing with this.

“That’s right, if you were the son of the black elder, he would definitely have been making a fuss here and there.”

A question from a keen princess.

Then Hobbet placed her hand on her own heart and said,

“Well, that’s…” . Because I am the illegitimate child of the family….”

A trembling voice.

He struggled to survive, exposing his own shame.

“Because his mother was a commoner, he was not an honorable son. So, without being taught black magic, I moved from one knightly order to another….”

I folded my arms alone as the truth was revealed.

And then, standing next to the Elder Wolf, he confidently asked.

“Then I don’t know the location of the baby wolf’s body and the black crystal.”

Hobbet was taken aback by my question and quickly shook her head.

“No, of course I know! “The black crystal is now my father’s pride!”

He quickly grabbed hold of the hand of salvation I had provided.

“It is stored in the basement of the main palace!! “If you send me back alive, I will definitely give it all back to you!!”

A man kneeling on the floor and begging.

The chief and I looked down at that scene with expressionless expressions.

“How do you feel, Elder Wolf?”

She had seen through Hummels’ lie just with her eyes and asked him.

Then, the leader of the heterogeneous tribe nodded his head.

「It seems to be the truth.」

“I understand.”

I approached Hobett as if I were an interrogator.

And….

“… !”

I took a rope out of my back pocket and stuffed it into his arm.

“You finally got it. “That bastard’s son.”

「Thank you for your hard work, Lord Bale. “It’s effective, just like you said.”

When Hobett was captured, the red blood disappeared from the Elder Wolf’s eyes.

He returned with gentle black eyes.

“… ?”

The princess and Hobbet’s eyes widened when they saw us looking at each other happily.

“Now that the culprit has come out, please keep your promise, Chief.”

“Of course, I will allow you to return to Barkal and hand over the bodies of the Black Crystal and his son.”

“If you receive the body and soul, you will be able to fully honor the soul.”

I led Hobbet and approached the princess.

Then, Princess Tina, who was watching the situation, looked at me blankly.

“Lee. How did this happen… ? Wasn’t it Veil’s betrayal? ?”

Until a little while ago, I was a princess who thought I was trying to survive alone.

She made an incomprehensible expression upon seeing me trapping Hobbet.

“Yes, I briefly asked the chieftain to do a skit to capture his son.”

「I’m sorry for startling you, princess.」

Elder Wolf looked at the princess with a somewhat gentle expression.

“….”

However, Hobett was different.

His lips twitched at the fact that I had conspired with the chief and deceived him.

“What is this…?” .”

I spoke coldly to that mustachioed knight.

“I consider myself lucky. “I gave you a reason to live in exchange for finding the body.”

Guided into a difficult situation.

From then on, the core of this plan was to save lives by setting the minimum conditions.

If anyone has no income, they want at least soybean products.

“So, then I can live too?”

Hovet asked with hopeful eyes.

“The princess will have to decide that.”

I turned my head and looked at the white-haired princess.

And then, she asked her politely.

“Your Highness, what do you plan to do with this person?”

Tina still has a shocked expression.

She took a deep breath, barely able to erase from her mind the sea of blood that had come before her eyes.

“If you are still distraught, I dare ask you a favor.”

I defended Hobett on her behalf because she was so distraught.

“Of course, it is true that Hobbet came out late and she almost killed everyone. However, the cause of this situation is only his father.”

The knights glanced at Hobett.

It looks like she still resents him.

“As a bastard, he couldn’t have stopped his father in the first place, but he has to take responsibility for his mistakes.”

I put my hand on my chest.

And, he said with pitiful eyes.

“Even I would have felt unfair.”

Hovet quietly looked up at me defending him.

Then, she lowered her head and cried.

“So, I would be grateful if you could reduce his sentence by sending the black crystal and corpse back to the chief instead of his father.”

Of course, it was a crime that he drove everyone to death.

However, if you give them hope to live like this, they will obediently give you the black crystal.

It is a kind of appeasement measure.

“The princess will personally monitor the handover process. “Afterwards, if he shows remorse, you can judge him then.”

The princess and the heads of different races all looked at me.

They both got what they wanted, so there didn’t seem to be any complaints.

All of Tina survived except for Hummels.

Because the Elder Wolf was able to hold the funeral for his son.

“I understand.”

The princess looked at Hobbet who was sobbing sadly.

And then, he spoke with the cool eyes of a monarch.

“Hummels Hovet. “There will be no execution of you.”

The princess placed her hand on the man’s shoulder.

As if my sins were relieved by her touch.

“When we return to Bakal, only an investigation will be conducted into your family. So please return your son safely to the chieftain.”

He fell to his knees as if his legs had lost strength.

And then, I cried sadly out of relief that he was alive.

“Okay, thank you. Majesty… !!”

The man’s mustache became very wet.

Hovet lived a sad life because he was a bastard.

He was saved because he was a bastard, not a legitimate son.

If he were a legitimate child, he would have learned black magic and sympathized with Hummels’ evil deeds.

He wiped away his tears as if he had received compensation for the discrimination he had received so far.

“… !”

However, he soon stopped crying.

Because Elder Wolf and his minions slowly approached Hobett.

“Did my son die just like that?”

The old wolf asked, imagining his son being captured alive.

Then, Tina, who had witnessed her process firsthand, nodded her head.

“Yes, I did….”

「….」

Elder Wolf gently closed his eyes.

It was sad to send the enemy’s child alive.

However, in exchange for saving my life, I received something even more valuable….

「I will break the chain of revenge here.」

I decided to erase the anger engraved in my heart.

「Son of Hummels. “You can rest assured and only bring back traces of my son.”

“Thank you so much, really…” .”

The enemy’s son knelt down on the dirt floor and bowed deeply.

He put his head on the ground and expressed his gratitude to the Elder Wolf.

「….」

The chief exhaled harshly, as if he still had a desire for revenge.

He turned her head to look at Tina, trying to dissipate her anger.

「Princess, I would like to apologize to you as well. “I almost killed him unintentionally.”

A situation where he was almost killed unfairly.

No one would be indifferent to an apology.

However, Tina was different.

She answered with thoughtful eyes, like a monarch who ruled countless people.

“No, when my son was wrongfully arrested, I also thought of him as a villain who deserved to die.”

The princess placed her hand on her chest.

And, he spoke humbly.

“It must have been a prejudice against this race.”

「….」

Elder Wolf looked bitter at Tina’s sincere words.

Then, he spoke, fluttering his northern, soft crystal-colored hair.

“With this incident as an opportunity, all different races are not barbaric. “I will engrave in Bakal that I am a human being who knows how to shed tears.”

Dawn is breaking.

With her back turned to the lava-infested sun, Christina made a promise with her blue eyes sparkling.

“So, can you trust me?”

The silver wolf looked at the princess intently.

With eyes that have lived for over 100 years.

「….」

He, who has watched countless people, silently watched Tina’s promise.

As if he had confirmed in her that she had the qualities to be the next emperor.

「Would you do that?… ?」

“I promise you this on the basis of my status as the emperor’s second daughter.”

Elder Wolf smiled faintly for the first time, perhaps satisfied with the mature answer.

Afterwards, he released everyone in the camp and headed toward the camp entrance.

「Everyone, please step aside.」

The princess of Bakal is watching.

Her white hair flutters like a snowy field.

Soon the newly 23-year-old woman turned her head and looked at me.

Her blue eyes twinkled at dawn.

“Veil….”

“Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty.”

Tina slowly approached me with her head down.

Then her body began to sway as she relaxed.

“Be careful.”

I supported her body.

Then, blue tears fell from the corners of the princess’s eyes.

“Thank you….”

“Thank you, thank you for trusting me.”

Tina wiped her eyes with her fingers.

She turned her head and hid her face, probably embarrassed by that sight.

“But how on earth did you come up with this plan?” ? I didn’t even think about it….”

The princess changed the subject to hide her tears.

So I decided to join in.

“In the past, I read a book in the study of the third princess of our empire.”

I said calmly, remembering that novel.

“The princess laughed and said that the character in this novel was like a fox like me.”

He slowly helped Tina up and told her anecdote.

“One of the strategies that person used was similar to the current situation.”

The princess’s lips parted when she heard that the plan was based on fictional information.

He just looks up at me.

‘Maybe the name was Gahu…’ .’

“It’s amazing that you remember such information and use it like this.”

“Since I haven’t learned anything, I have to do at least some tricks like this.”

Tina smiled at her easy-going smile.

And then, she placed her sensuous body, wearing only a nightgown dress, on my shoulder.

“What a gift…. Putting it into practice is also a skill.”

We went out together to meet the werewolves who were slowly leaving.

They exchanged their last greetings at the entrance to the camp.

「When I return, it will take 5 days to reach Hummels’ mansion.」

“Yes, it will take about that time.”

The princess answered while holding back her tears.

「I will wait.」

“Do you trust us?”

「Yes, when I saw the princess, she seemed like a trustworthy human being.」

The Elder Wolf spoke to her with a calm expression on her face.

「I’ll meet you here in exactly ten days, and then I will get my son back.」

Dawn has broken.

Then, the subordinates hid in the bushes ahead of the chief.

Only one remains to protect the chieftain.

「Oh, and you.」

Before the Elder Wolf leaves.

He called out to me who had stayed far away.

“Yes.”

When our eyes met, I bowed my head politely.

Then, the leader of this race asked with sharp eyes.

「Your brain skills are quite good.」

“It was just a struggle to survive.”

The elder wolf approached me slowly.

And, she spoke quietly out of concern for others.

「There was a human woman outside the camp. She is as powerful as you….」

‘Are you talking about Leah…? . Who knew she knew….’

“You knew….”

「You hid well, but you can’t fool the wolf.」

Elder Wolf chuckled.

And then, he looked towards the bush with me.

Leah is standing there wearing a uniform over her pajamas.

The knights of light who were hiding were also gathered next to the first princess.

‘Even Damian was stolen before I knew it… ?’

「They secretly gathered wands and the remaining hidden troops to counterattack us.」

“He is a great person.”

Elder Wolf took a deep breath.

Then he asked me a favor.

「Tell the Empress, there is no need to fight anymore.」

“I understand.”

The eyes of an old wolf are already filled with wisdom.

He called Leah the Empress as if he knew the future.

「It’s amazing to have the heads of two countries as partners.」

“It’s a match…” . This is nonsense… !”

I hurriedly looked around in case Tina and Leah heard.

「There is no need to be embarrassed, I saw you two meet by the stream in the middle of the night.」

“Please keep that a secret…” !”

When I first looked embarrassed, the Elder Wolf laughed happily.

Afterwards, the leader of this race took out three black spirits from his furry arms.

「It’s a gift for resolving the matter smoothly.」

“Yes… ? “What did I do to deserve this precious thing?”

When I looked burdened, the Elder Wolf spoke calmly.

「If the gift feels burdensome, think of it as a bribe. “It seems to me that you will become an important figure in the empire.”

“I…” ?”

From Noble mtl dot com

When I pointed at myself with my finger, the silver wolf nodded.

「Okay, so when you get an important position, remember our clan.」

The Elder Wolf turned his head.

And, he asked quietly.

「So that something terrible like this never happens again.」

I quietly put the three spiritual altars I was holding into my bosom.

And then, he chased after the wolf and whispered secretly.

“I accept it reluctantly, but…” . What on earth is this used for? ?”

The silver wolf raised the corners of her mouth when she heard my question.

「It is an elixir that our clan uses when performing a military mission.」

“You mean a coup…? ?”

「Looking at it, those women seem like your mates.」

“Absolutely not.”

I gave a firm look.

Then, the old wolf laughed.

“I’m embarrassed, so let’s share one pill between the three of us. “We will be of great ‘strength’ to each other.”

As I frowned, the Elder Wolf looked at me pityingly.

「Actually, this is something I prepared for my son to see his grandchild when he gets married. He was the same age as you….」

It is said to belong to the deceased son.

Hearing those breathtaking words, I couldn’t find anything to say.

「It’s just a gift I gave you because you are like a son.」

I just look down at the three black elixirs in my hand.

‘Seeing my grandchildren…’ .’

I swallowed deeply at those creepy words.

「Don’t worry. “It’s just a medicine that temporarily gives our wolf strength.”

‘The power of the wolf… ?’

I pursed my lips.

Then, the Elder Wolf touched my shoulder and whispered.

「To deal with the strong vitality of those women, it would be better to eat, right? “There are even two of them.”

After saying that, the wolf slowly went into the shadows.

The rest of the werewolves followed him leisurely.

Thanks to this, the chestnut forest, which was once full of life, became quiet again.

As if nothing had happened.

“Ha….”

I looked down blankly at the medicine in my palm.

Then, Leah and Tina calmly approached and observed together.

“What did the werewolf give you?”

Two women who show interest in medicine.

I quickly hid it and said,

“Oh, it’s nothing…” !”

The power of the wolf.

Is it growing a tail?
