111 – Raid 7
before going to bed,
Receiving a sudden call, I arrived at my father’s office with Polena.
Right after that, the scene I saw was a family gathered in one place with serious expressions on their faces.
Dark shadows were cast over the faces of Vicher, Dust, and their father,
In the case of her mother, she was shedding tears while being supported by servants.
Some serious emergency in the middle of the night.
Immediately after hearing the details, a serious shadow began to cast on my face.
“yes? Are you talking about Sister Queen?”
“Yes.. I was kidnapped while stopping the attackers who suddenly appeared.”
“How did that happen…”
Literally on a dry sky day, I started to get complicated in the moment at the news like lightning.
The eldest daughter of the Andreas family, and a person who becomes a big sister to me.
Queen Andreas.
To be honest, since I came here, my relationship with her has never been good.
Starting with the first official meeting and openly approaching the fight,
Even after that, Queen Andreas, who always looked at me, put on a dissatisfied expression and refused to even talk to me.
It was a bad feeling on my part, but honestly, I didn’t really understand her.
‘If you think about it, even the country will be upset. It’s like a younger brother who left the house came back and took his seat.’
Although, in the original work, Bohemia was eventually handed over to Friedrich due to Anhalt’s plot, but until then, Queen, as the eldest daughter of the Andreas family, had the justification to seize the next real power of Bohemia.
It was just that the justification was relatively behind compared to the more powerful justification and authority of Elector Frederick.
If there was no Frederick, there would be some noise, but in the end, the possibility that the queen would rise to the position of Bohemia’s successor existed sufficiently.
Given this background,
From the Queen’s point of view, the current existence of I would have had to be seen as a nasty younger sister who shattered her hopes that she could become an heir and at the same time was trusted by her father.
Of course, apart from understanding her position, seeing me with a rotten expression the whole time was never pleasantly acceptable from my point of view.
‘But that’s it, first of all, the situation right now is really bad. Of course, the queen is being held hostage…’
It has not yet been possible to make a clear conclusion as to who did it and for what purpose.
However, in this situation, I had some guesses.
Thanks to the victory at the Battle of Baeksan and Manspelt’s ramblings just before, the heretic alliance, which has a level of solidity and practical power that is different from the clumsy alliance Anhalt envisioned before, and our Bohemia, which is located at the center of it.
There is a very high possibility that our actions naturally came as a considerable threat to that emperor sitting in Vienna. From the Emperor’s point of view, he must have felt the need to somehow shake and weaken the Heretic Alliance.
The best way to do this was to shake our Bohemia, which is also the center of this alliance, and the kidnapping of the queen this time was highly likely to be related to such an issue under the circumstances.
‘Emperor Sisyphus Ferdinand. It must be a ploy to shake the father and weaken the alliance by kidnapping the queen.’
Taking the family hostage…
From a human point of view, it’s a really petty, yet disgusting act.
However, to that extent, the effect of the emperor’s conversion was highly likely to be fatal for us.
Having lived together for the past time, I have come to know more clearly what kind of person my father, Earl of Thurn, is.
A person who truly loves and cares for his family more than power, fame, or power.
In that respect, even though I usually don’t express myself well, I am a person called my father who wants his child.
In particular, he knew very well that he really cherished his eldest daughter, Quinn, who doesn’t show off very well in front of him, but always expresses sincere concerns and concerns in front of me.

Now that such a daughter has been taken into the hands of enemies,
The father, Earl of Thurne, was very likely to defend his eldest daughter, even at great cost.
‘If that’s the case, in the worst case, it’s an alliance and they might try to destroy everything.
If at this point the Heretic League were to be shaken, or if the Bohemia side announced that it would resign, then all the hardships so far might have come to nothing, and everything could really have ended.
‘damn. I just wanted to catch my breath. Seriously, this guy’s life must have been covered with demons!’
As I lamented my beggarly miserliness, which was twisting inside me once again, I began to feel a deep sense of frustration.
It wasn’t really easy to find the abductors, who had sent chasers but couldn’t tell which way they had fled.
Moreover, the opponent was a strong man who easily defeated the 6th grade magician, Quinn, along with the defending troops alone.
Even if they do find it, it won’t be easy to bring back the queen.
In the end, all we had to do was wait for the hijackers to come up with something.
“It’s been a mess…”
The next moment, I heard Polena’s small voice in my ears.
I also sympathized with her words, which seemed to represent the emotions I was feeling right now.
As much as Polena is a fairly smart person, I thought she might be thinking the same thing as me…
‘Could this be Catlena’s order? That means he had other ulterior motives besides kidnapping Santana for Cazeros’ business…’

“Kuh… ”
headache-like pain
From nob le mt l. com
Nausea, like an upset stomach.
And.. to the helpless feeling as if there was no strength left in the whole body.
A terrible feeling that I have never experienced before in my life.
Feeling all those painful sensations rushing in all at once
Quinn slowly began to regain consciousness.
‘Uh… how… did it happen? I… obviously…’
The last scene that came to my mind was the image of him wielding his sword while remaining alone until the end against countless ghosts.
I remembered until I was attacked by them in the process, but I couldn’t think of anything right after that.
‘Have you been attacked by them? But I don’t think this is the other world, can it be that it is?’
The bushes and trees in front of us let us know that we were in a deep forest.
In addition, recognizing that both of her arms were tied at this moment, Quinn was able to roughly recognize the situation she was in.
‘Have you been kidnapped? Well… for someone like me, it’s well worth it, but the eldest daughter of Bohemia will be able to pay a fairly high ransom.’
While thinking about that, it was the time when Quinn was carefully examining her surroundings.
“I can’t believe it… I can’t believe it…”
“!..”
The next moment, the sound of a voice right behind her caught Quinn in deep tension.
‘Is this voice… the witch?’
I beat myself up lightly…
And the voice of the powerful witch who is presumed to have kidnapped her.
Shortly thereafter, another woman’s voice began to be heard in response to her words,
In response, Quinn decided to listen to her conversation while pretending to faint.
It was because I thought that through their conversation, I would be able to know this situation more accurately.
“To think that your sister is strong enough to fail… is Santana really that strong?”
“Yeah.. You felt it too at the end. A circle of tremendous magical power. That guy was a monster hiding his power.”
“!?!”
Hearing the unexpected story, Quinn was momentarily seized with a deep sense of bewilderment.
