129 – Their War 3
“Haaa!!!”
-Pak!-
The scarecrow bursts into pieces with a sharp sound.
Looking at it, she…
Dust Andreas, the daughter of the Andreas family, began to breathe heavily.
“Uhhhhh”
Dust exhaled heavily due to the aftermath of being sufficiently overworked.
However, at this moment, Dust ignored his body’s request for a break, and swung his sword again with a shout of cheer.
“aaa!!!”
-Pak!-
A scarecrow hit by a sword wrapped in magical power and shattered into pieces again.
At the end of that, the magic power radiating from Dust’s body disappeared as if the fire had gone out, and at the same time, Dust felt a tremendous sense of exhaustion and sat down as it was.
“omg… omg… omg..”
Dust threw his sword on the floor feeling dizzy.
However, despite pouring out every last strand of magic and stamina stored in her body, at this moment, she felt that the emotions still bubbling in her heart did not disappear.
Dust Andreas.
She’s been in a very bad mood lately.
‘I can’t believe Queen was arrested.. How could that sister, not someone else…’
Queen Andreas, one of Dust’s favorite people in this world and the one he longed for deep down.
The fact that she was lost by unknown enemies came as a great shock to Dust.
Queen, a bounty wizard with powers that even her father cannot take lightly.
It was clear that those who kidnapped her were not usually strong people, and in that respect, many people, including Dust, believed that the possibility that the emperor of the Holy Empire was the one who orchestrated this incident was very high.
‘You dare to kidnap my sister, who is not someone else… You dirty and despicable emperor. I will definitely strike his neck with my hand!’
Dust that burns the flames of anger deep in his heart
However… apart from her thoughts, at this moment, not only Dust herself, but also her competent older brother, no one was able to clearly decide what course to take.
Dust wants to advance towards Vienna, where the filthy emperor is located.
Her father and family had the same thoughts, but Santana, who was in charge of Bohemia’s practice, was cautious.
The biggest reason was that although there was a psychological symptom, the physical evidence did not exist clearly.
Unfortunately, information about the raiders currently found by the Bohemia side is too small to definitively identify anyone.
Circumstances of which nothing is known except that he used blasphemous magic to manipulate the soul.
Even their facial features were not clearly revealed because they were hiding in the dark, and it was impossible to deduce anything as they had not been able to do anything on this side, let alone capture one of them.
Through the story that some people use magic to deal with the soul, maybe this is the pagan empires of the east..
There were also those who speculated that it might be the work of the Dragona Empire or the Turk Empire.
However, it was unreasonable to conclude this incident simply with the nature of magic… Crucially, the two countries were enemies of the Theocratic Empire for generations.
The general opinion of most people was that there was no reason for them to do this against themselves, as potential allies who could subtly help in the position that the enemy of an enemy is a friend.
In particular, in the case of the Dragona Empire, the possibility is even lower as they actually promised to secretly support them.
The Turk Empire was continuing a sluggish war of nerves with Benessa, so they couldn’t afford to use their hands on this side.
In the end, when that happens, the only thing left is the Holy Empire, which has a very certain justification according to the Act of Elimination.
However, despite this, it was not easy to make a formal protest against it, as there was a limit of heartache.
And there’s one more thing.
The justification was also a problem, but the biggest problem was the current situation of Bohemia and the Heretic Alliance.
It was a heretical alliance that was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief in preparation for the emperor’s invasion by attracting allies and forming links with foreign countries.
However, this only meant that it had reached a level where it could repel the enemy’s attacks, and it was absolutely impossible to launch an invasion from this side.
Even at this moment, Generals Tilly and Spinola, who were occupying the Palatinate region, were glaring at us with their eyes wide open.
In such a dangerous time, it could be in a big crisis by blowing away even the power that it managed to gather.
In the end, due to these reasons, Count Turnen had no choice but to cover this incident externally, leaving behind his torn feelings.
Of course, the work of releasing people from the back to find the whereabouts of the daughter will continue, but until the Holy Empire moves first, they have decided to keep quiet about this matter officially.
And.. For this decision of his brother and father, Dust couldn’t help but feel deep anger and frustration.
As for what they said, she had no choice but to accept it for now.
She knew that, as important as her sister was, she couldn’t put the rest of her family at risk.
however..

Nonetheless, she feels…
She couldn’t control the burning emotion burning inside her.
Although she understood with her head, her heart still couldn’t accept the situation.
However, even so, there was nothing she could do with her lack of strength.
Let alone saving her sister, it is impossible to even find out exactly where she is.
Like that, in this situation where he can’t come up with an answer on his own, Dust is just spending his days taking out his anger on the scarecrows.
But today…
There was a person who visited her who was so alone in her anger.
“Dust?”
“..! Eh… Estelle sister?”
A welcome voice from behind.
Accordingly, Dust got up from his seat and greeted the precious guest who had come to visit him.
*
“Yeah.. It must have been really hard..”
“Your sister.. although I can understand what you said, my heart still hurts so much.. my queen sister.. what if something really happened?”
“It’ll be fine.. don’t worry too much. As you know, Lady Queen is a strong person…”
Dust expresses his sadness and anxiety over his missing older sister.
While listening to her words, Estelle comforted her in a calm voice.
Queen Andreas, who has already been told by Santana, but whose whereabouts are still unclear.
Thinking soberly, from Estelle’s point of view, her disappearance had the effect of excluding risk factors related to Santana’s successor position.
But at this moment, Estelle was doing her best to comfort Dust while putting that fact aside.
There was no need to tell the truth and pretend to be with Dust, who admired and followed him well.
In addition, Estelle had come here just to take advantage of Dust.
In this situation, it was necessary to apply oil to match the other person’s mood as much as possible, and Estelle was trying to comfort Dust, who expressed her sorrow and worry about her sister, with the best possible words.
“You know, but considering the status of the queen, I’m sure they wouldn’t try to harm you. Even if they do something, they will proceed after telling us the requirements in advance.”
“Ha.. but… there has been no news so far? I hope you already have a sister..”
“About that, it’s likely that there was a difference of opinion within them. Unless they’re fools, there’s no way they wouldn’t use a bigwig like the Queen.”
Estelle calms Dust’s anxiety while giving the exact reason.
As he listened to her story, Durst began to feel his feelings of anxiety, apprehension, and nervousness alleviate.
“..Thank you sister. It calmed me down a bit.”
“I’m glad it helped. If you have any concerns in this way, please tell me, as I said the other day, I am Santana’s fiancée, and you and I are like sisters.”
“Yes, Estelle, if you need any help, please let me know. I will do anything I can to help.”
Durst speaks with a cheerful voice, with a slightly softened expression on his face
Seeing her like that, Estelle cautiously spoke to her with a more prudent expression on her face.
“Thank you for saying that, actually… There’s one thing I’d like to ask of you though…”
“yes? What is it? Just say something.”
Dust shows great interest in Estelle’s words.
Seeing her like this, a deep smile slowly began to form on Estelle’s lips.
