249. A wild beast wearing a rabbit mask (3)
Leah pulled her uniform jacket to hide her body.
And then, I looked indifferently at the elf boy who was sleeping soundly in the chair.
“Your Majesty, there was no need for you to come forward….”
Damian, who was waiting outside, approached and said.
Leah responded by pulling the jacket wrapped around his shoulders even further.
“Even if the opponent is a harp, he is an elf. “It’s hard to even approach unless you’re a decent person.”
He looked at the sleeping boy and frowned.
Then he adjusted the frames of his glasses and muttered.
“It’s definitely fascinating. Elves tend to ignore humans….”
“It’s thanks to the hypnotic beads. “The closer you see it, the more effective it becomes.”
Leah smiled and turned away.
Her uniform jacket was tightly packed and she was very relaxed.
“I’m sorry. I should have handled it myself… !”
Leah glanced at her own entourage.
Then, she smiled warmly with warm eyes.
“Well, it’s okay. “For some reason, he seemed strangely mesmerized as I approached him.”
Leah narrowed her eyes as if she resembled a man.
Damian asked back with a puzzled expression at the familiar sly tone.
“Yes… ?”
Leah smiled brightly.
Her advisor tilted her head at the master’s strange words.
The frames of his glasses swayed slightly.
“Damian, can you get me some tea to drink while I wait?”
“I will colonize you right away.”
Damien left the VIP room, taking the boy with all the information.
Meanwhile, the imperial princess hid her rabbit headband in her tight back pocket.
「――――――」
Meanwhile, the back alleys of Cornell.
Although she is human, Baal, who is her senior than Emil, is hiding in the dark shadows.
“I’m sure.”
He took a deep breath, as if he was certain of one thing.
“They knew in advance that we would come here.”
Obviously, the only one who knew this information was Crown Prince Leon.
Therefore, at the last moment of negotiations, he cast a spell on him and brought them to the empire together.
Now that the information has been leaked, the only way to survive is to escape.
Of course, if the medicine was equally distributed to the crown prince and the king of the south, there was no need to cast a spell like this.
However, only one serving of medicine was available.
There was no choice but to deceive the crown prince.
“Master, you’re late too, and I wonder how things are going… !”
The investigation network of the imperial knights is gradually narrowing.
The pressure was so great that even he, an elite shaman, felt a sense of crisis.
“I can’t help it….”
In the end, he made one decision.
Returning to the kingdom alone.
Baal sprinkled magic powder on his body and made it transparent.
To overcome the area, swing the wand and use floating magic.
It escaped the investigation using techniques that were quite different from the magic of the empire.
“Damn, I used too much technology….”

He covered his forehead as his magic power was gradually depleting.
And then, he finally looked up at the outer wall opposite Emil, who was all different.
“Once you get past this point….”
Baal released his invisibility as if trying to squeeze out the last of his strength.
The moment when you are about to fly towards the castle wall.
「You’re late.」
I was startled by the voice of a young woman coming from afar.
“How boring it was to wait.”
Baal turned her head to the source of her voice.
Then, her eyes caught the sight of knights from the East who were much taller than her and a petite woman who appeared.
“Veil guy. “You said you could handle it alone, but if you lose the target like this, will it be of use?”
She has pigtails, but is a princess with fierce red eyes.
She wore a school uniform style shirt and skirt, but when the moonlight shined on her….
“I will have to ‘punish’ you later.”
The leopard attire that clung to her body was seen minutely.
Plus, black stockings that make you look mature for your age.
The shaman looked blankly at her woman, who had been waiting for her, knowing in advance that she would come here.
Then, she soon realized that she was something unusual.
“Arrest that man.”
The lady in front of her gestured, and numerous knights appeared from the darkness.
Large men who all appear to be from the East.
The mana was quite powerful, as each individual had undergone thorough training.
“You are the one who dared to interrupt my time with him, so I will personally question you.”
Lydia’s red eyes sparkle in the night.
It was like looking at a nocturnal beast.
“I heard that the knights in the capital were tired of peace and political strife….”
The best shaman in the South who understood the situation alone.
The moment he turns his head.
He stretched out his palm at the bloody spear flying from afar.
Kaaan―――!!
“You’re really not an ordinary shaman to stop this.”
Bashu grabbed his spear with one hand.
And then he looked down indifferently at Baal, who had concentrated his magic power on his palm and hit the barrier.
“Everyone, don’t let your guard down. “The opponent is the South’s elite shaman.”
Bashu, the leader of the Knights of the East.
He was no longer arrogant or showed off his flashy skills.
I faced the other person calmly, just as I had been taught by someone else.
“Wow… !!”
Knights with spears charging in from all over.
Rather than being affected by peace, Baal hastily deploys a barrier in response to the knights’ poisonous spears.
But, that was just it.
The shaman was only focused on defense, and he was unable to offer any resistance.
“hehehe…. “As expected of a court shaman, you are holding up well.”
Lydia approached leisurely, with her back to her.
Then, he gazed down at Baal, surrounded by windows in the east.
“It is useless to resist. “Since you dare enter the heart of the empire, there is no one who can help you.”
The shaman swallowed deeply at the petite woman’s devil-like laugh.
“No, it’s you who are dangerous.”
Lydia tilted her head, perhaps because it was something unexpected and unexpected.
Her pigtails were also tilted as if curious.
“What does that mean?”
“Southern reinforcements have now arrived outside the walls. “Everyone stationed in the empire gathered together, so it’s quite large.”
When Lydia heard his words, she chuckled.
She then shrugged her shoulders and asked back.
“Hmm-. “Then it means that all the enemy’s liaisons hiding in the empire have gathered together.”
The third princess of the empire looked at the castle wall as if she had been waiting for those words.
As if imagining the enemy forces beyond here.
“So, if we capture all of those who gathered today, all of the southern henchmen will be eliminated?”
Baal frowned as if he couldn’t understand Lydia’s words.
However, he soon realized what the princess meant.
――――――.
Cornell’s cityscape seen together.
Because the silhouette of a woman floated above it.
A figure wearing a huge hat while sitting neatly on a long staff.
It was like looking at a great witch.
“Lord Margo. “Has the outside been taken care of?”
“Yes, Your Highness. We handled it together with Her Majesty Irina’s knights.”
I can’t believe we’ve taken care of all the remaining units we’ve already collected.
At those words, Baal’s lips parted.
“But, Veil told me not to come, so I wonder if I can show up like this….”
“hehehe, thanks to you, your hometown was kept safe, right?”
Lydia praised the petite woman who had her hair in pigtails like herself.
At this, Margot muttered with an embarrassed expression.
“I am not ‘Gyeong’. I heard that shamans are undesirable beings in the empire….”
“Those are the only ones who caused trouble.”
The youngest princess pointed to Baal, who caused the incident, with her murderous eyes.
Afterwards, she smiled and patted Margo on the shoulder again.
“From now on, upright shamans will file an appeal to be recognized by the empire, so don’t worry.”
“Okay, thank you. Majesty….”
Mago looked happy to have his skills recognized by the imperial family for the first time in his life.
The reason he was originally unable to take active action against Bale was because of his status as a shaman.
Her heart sank as she heard Lydia’s desire to help her apparent love rival.
“Now all we have to do is wait for the child to return.”
Margo was amazed at Lydia calling Veil, who was obviously a year older than her and much taller than her, a child.
Standing on her own two feet, she seemed to feel like a cat trying to increase its size, and a chuckle escaped her without realizing it.
“Why are you doing that?”
“No, Your Highness-.”
At first sight, the princesses felt fearful.
As the girls’ warm and humane side began to show little by little, Margo became increasingly relieved.
“For now, let’s hold this guy down until Veil returns.”
However, Lydia was a princess who was cool-headed towards her enemies.
She was alone with her arms crossed, watching the shaman surrounded by her grand spear.
“Don’t think nonsense, we’ve already found your replacement.”
Baal was speechless upon hearing that even his quick-witted successor had been captured.
Even the medicine he had brought in was taken away, so he lost all his harvest.
“I will not resist…” .”
When there was absolutely no way out, he fell into despair.
“Surrender.”
Under the brilliant full moon, Baal, unable to overcome the final wall, surrendered.
And, his own teacher, Risemann, prayed inwardly that he would get out safely.
「――――――」
Both disciples’ wands were broken.
When the two powerful magical powers in Cornell disappeared, the green eyes of Rize, who had been pushed against the wall, flashed.
“No way…” .”
Once again, a strong magical energy was detected, but it was not Baal.
He seemed to be an imperial shaman of the same level or higher than him.
“It looks like there’s some problem.”
I looked at Rize, who had beads of sweat as clear as dew on her forehead, and smiled.
Then she realized that all her plans had been discovered by the fox-like man in front of her.
“What on earth are you?” ?”
The intellectual curiosity she felt as a Grand Master had long since disappeared.
Instead, her survival instincts kicked in and she started to become increasingly afraid of me.
“He is a typical imperial defense engineer.”
A common imperial knight.
At those words, Rize frowned.
Starting with Hector, the treasured sword bestowed by the emperor.
Rosario given as a gift by Irina.
An oriental style bow tie pin.
Even the blue mana of others nestled in my heart.
As Rize, a great sage and able to see through her opponent’s memories, her lips parted as she realized what kind of person the man in front of her was.
As an elf, my legs instinctively trembled at the fact that he had tamed the wild beast of the empire.
“How can someone like this…. Is it coming from the empire again…? !!”
「Let’s finish it soon.」
I raised my dual swords towards the surprised Rize.
Irina’s treasured sword and Hector at the same time.
「I thought they would be angry if I was late.」
I have my eyes wrapped in brilliant white mana.
And they rushed to the woman who was either the best shaman on the continent or the great sage of the south.
