53 – Maru… I’m here…
Aristocrats crowded under the bright sunlight.
A farewell ceremony was scheduled to be held in front of the Magic Society building where the warp gate is located.
“Did you call, Your Highness?”
“Oh come on. I called because I was wondering what was going on with the imperial delegation. It looks like we will arrive when we are in Narundra, but if we don’t have luggage at that time, they will think that hospitality is neglected.”
“Don’t worry. I was very careful not to misunderstand them.”
Maru smiled at the king.
It was time for an envoy from my mother to arrive soon.
However, Narundra’s schedule made it difficult to welcome them on time.
Therefore, he wrote a letter explaining the circumstances to them, and decided to leave Luciella in the palace.
Since you have conveyed the words to Luciella well, she will receive you wholeheartedly.
Luciella was a demon anyway, so it was dangerous to go to Narundra, where the heroes of the Western Continent gathered, and she had no choice but to stay here because she had to manage the territory.
“Good job, good job.”
“yes. Then let’s go.”
Maru walked alone after parting with the king.
And then I remembered my mother.
“I think the letter I sent to my mother arrived safely.”
A while ago, I wrote and sent a letter announcing that I was getting engaged to Audrey.
What kind of reaction will you see?
I’m sure you’ll be angry that I made a decision without consulting you, but I also wrote something to make you happy.
A year later, he said he would go back to his hometown and live with Audrey.
Wouldn’t the son, who has always wandered outside, be very happy to hear that he will live with his mother for the rest of his life?
This should be enough to satisfy you.
“Floor!”
Natalie ran from afar.
She was carrying a load on one shoulder.
“Natalie, are you going too?”
“I was chosen as an escort knight for the king. I applied because of you.”
Her expression is very bright.
A friendly face, like a friend.
He seemed to misunderstand, thinking he had forgiven him for eating pork belly a few days ago.
this is not
“You, by any chance, don’t you think that I’m a colleague, a friend, or that I’m in a better mood because I ate pork belly the other day?”
she flinches
I guess I thought so.
said coldly.
“Don’t get me wrong. I felt sorry for him when he followed me all the way to the countryside and was starving, so I fed him one meal. Our relationship hasn’t changed.”
Maru took a step closer to her.
“You are a violent woman. I am a victim Algan?”
“M-I’m sorry… ”
Natalie lowered her gaze and put on a sad expression.
“I know my fault. I am reflecting a lot… I cut off the paradise grass and the man, and I’m doing as you told me… ”
that’s working fine
But it doesn’t matter.
“Are you doing this to me, don’t you feel proud? I don’t care what you do here, but I hope you stay out of my sight. Let’s pretend we don’t know each other.”
Did I say something cruel?
not.
This is how you get hurt and leave.
wait.
He’s a kid who endured the sound of rags, but are you going to hurt him with words like this?
“Lou, what about Lucy?! Why did you accept Lucy? He did something bad at the party too!”
She raised her voice as if it were unfair.
Also.
Natalie is simple, so she has a strong mentality.
“Lucy.”
Maru paused for a while and then spoke seriously.
“You are my slave.”
“No, slave?!”
“Maru.”
More at noblemtl
Just then, Lucy, dressed in a maid’s uniform with twin tails, appeared with a load of luggage.
He carries a heavy sack in both hands and carries a backpack on his back.
Even that was not enough, and the small cart she had pulled was full of luggage.
She was going to accompany Narundra to help Maru.
“I am ready.”
“Did you bring everything?”
“yes.”
“Lou, Lucy! Is it true that you became a slave?”
nod
Lucy nodded with a calm face, and Maru looked at Natalie.
Natalie seemed quite shocked.
“Lucy has done something wrong to me lately. I am taking the blame for it.”
“Uh, what’s wrong?! I want to do that wrong too! Do me wrong!”
Suddenly a trumpet sounded.
The royal family farewell ceremony was about to begin.
“I have to go.”
“I, I want to be a slave too! How can I become a slave!”
“You can’t. give up.”
Maru hurriedly moved behind Natalie, who was talking nonsense.
His seat was right next to the princess, not the seat of the major ministers who had stood at every event so far.
After getting ready to leave, Audrey dressed up and came first, standing in the seat of honor.
I looked around often to see if I was looking for someone.
I’m sure you’re looking for yourself.
Maru was playful and secretly went behind her and stabbed the back of her neck and hid underneath.
Audrit turned around and tilted her head strangely.
I looked around without looking down, then turned my head forward again.
‘I guess I didn’t see it.’
It was fun.
Maru again pinched the back of her neck and quickly squatted down.
She looks back and giggles.
Scratching his head, he glanced around and then looked ahead.
Maru quietly got up and stabbed her in the back of the neck again.
I met her eyes as she smiled innocently and looked back.
When she saw Maru, a welcome smile appeared on her lips and she glanced at him lightly with her eyes.
“Are you kidding me? Childish.”
“It is an expression of interest.”
The smile on her lips grew wider as if she liked the answer.
“Quickly come and stand next to me.”
Maru straightened her clothes and stood side by side with her.
A different scene unfolded before my eyes.
I saw a lot of people staring this way.
It was a different feeling to look down after always looking up at the royal family.
“Did you pray to Belkran this morning for a safe trip?”
“Of course I did. Do you? did you?”
“I did, so I’ll ask.”
“May God be pleased. Every day I only see the ugly guy, but I see a pretty and cute believer like you.”
“If my baby becomes a believer later, he will like it even more, right?”
While chatting with Audrit, who smiled brightly, the king stepped up to the podium and gave a speech.
“to… So, burden.”
The farewell ceremony ended quickly.
After the king had finished his speech, everyone took their belongings and moved to the warpgate.
“His Highness the King! Queen Mama! Prince! Princess! Prince! Have a good trip!”
Receiving enthusiastic send-off from the nobles, he went into the warp gate where green waves rippled.
He immediately moved to another city, and from there he rode a wagon for six full days.
After that, I rode the warp gate again in a certain city, and after arriving in the next city, I rode a wagon for another 5 days.
Even after that, the schedule of riding a wagon for more than 5 days by riding a warp gate in an unfamiliar city was repeated, and finally arrived at Narundra.
“Miss Aslag! I am here!”
Edward looked the most excited.
***
Kiera was walking the streets of Nofha, the capital of the Basilite Kingdom.
“Oh my, isn’t that woman Kiera, the hero of the escape?”
As I was walking down the street, I could hear people whispering here and there.
“How could a runaway hero be here… ”
“The face of a crazy bitch is an iron plate.”
“What are the guards doing without kicking them out? Filthy.”
They couldn’t even get close to Kiera, only swearing at her from a distance.
No one harmed her by throwing stones or spitting at her.
Not surprisingly, Kiera was proudly walking through town, sporting beautiful silver hair and shining armor.
Everyone was afraid of the power she possessed.
‘Laugh as much as you insignificant people. You will soon worship me.’
Because she will soon become Maru’s wife and crown prince.
“Haha, ahahaha.”
When Keira suddenly burst into laughter, people hurriedly left the place, sticking out their tongues, saying,
Eventually, when she reached the main gate of the castle, the guards were startled and stopped her.
“Stop!”
Kiera’s complexion hardened as she looked at the left and right guards.
“Open the door. I came to see Crown Prince Maru.”
“The hero of the escape, Kiera! The Crown Prince’s order has been issued to ban you from entering our kingdom of Basilite! But how did you come to the royal capital here! If you don’t want to be arrested, get out of our kingdom!”
“Stupid things.”
Kiera confidently laughed at them.
The guards guarding the outer gate were told in detail that Maru had directly requested the king to ban him from entering the country.
Afterwards, they couldn’t pass through the outer gate, so they went over the wall, but these foolish guards knew one thing and didn’t know the other two.
“Do you guys really not know the meaning of Maru?”
“meaning? Do you mean the prince’s intention?”
The reason Maru banned me from entering the country was because he was worried that I would be hurt by people, you idiots, she thought.
“The floor is also true. It’s too delicate to wear. I don’t give a damn what these scumbags are talking about.”
“Four years! How dare you call us trash!”
The guards raised their spears and shouted ferociously.
Kiera wanted to kill them all, but there was a floor in the palace in front of her.
I was excited, but never impatient.
If I wait a little bit, I can meet you, but I didn’t have to go far for nothing.
Clasping her hands trembling with anticipation, she slowly opened her mouth.
“If you tell Maru that I have come to meet you, I will return quietly.”
“What?”
A terrified guard shouted urgently.
“Wow, the prince is not here right now! The Western Continent Conference is being held in Narundra, the city of elves, and you went there with Your Highness!”
“No… ?”
After a while, Kiera, who heard a detailed explanation, moved on.
She was nervous about losing her powers.
‘It’s clear Maru is testing me.’
Leaving without a word without leaving a letter, wouldn’t it be scolding you for being harsh in the past?
“do not do that. I’ve come to my senses, Maru. I will never part with you again.”
How painful must he have been after being dumped by him?
how i hate
She was able to take all of his anger.
“If I meet you, I will make a mistake. wait.”
The destination was the warp gate in the Magic Society building.
As soon as he arrived, he grabbed the high-ranking wizard by the collar and threatened him.
“Open the warp gate towards Narundra. If you send it to the wrong place, I will come back and kill you.”
“Uh uh uh, Al, I get it!”
Even when she reached the next town, she didn’t stop threatening.
“If you want to live, open it right away.”
And in the next city, he caught the wizards and exhaled life.
“Hurry.”
“Yes, four!”
That’s ten times.
Upon arriving at the tenth city, she suddenly had a headache and a nosebleed.
I wiped my nosebleed with the back of my hand and stared blankly at the blood on the back of my hand.
It was impossible for the hero to be a nosebleed.
It wasn’t even that the hero’s power had disappeared.
It was clear that damage had been accumulated on the body due to the continuous use of warp gates.
If he was a normal person, he would have died already.
But none of that was a hindrance to her.
“If Maru sees me in pain, he will take pity on me and forgive me.”
Rather, I was just happy.
After that, he continued to intimidate the wizards in each city and boarded the warp gate.
Eventually, by the time she boarded the 22nd warp gate, after traveling thousands of kilometers in just one day, she was finally able to reach Narundra.
“Ku-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k ”
Kiera staggered out of the warpgate like a zombie.
The elven wizards who were manipulating the magic device flinched and widened their eyes.
Her face was terrifying.
Blood was dripping from his nose, eyes, mouth and ears.
“Maruya… I’m here… ”
Kiera gave a weak, happy expression before collapsing to the floor.
The elves hurriedly moved the fainting woman to the hospital room.
please just die, ur existence is just trash
