Only the Party Members Returned, Not the Hero chapter 29

29. Uninvited guest at temporary accommodation (3)

29.

Elise has shown Tania a particularly weak side since childhood.

As weak as she was, when it came to her sister’s safety, she was more strict than she was.

My father is busy with numerous campaigns to protect the status of the Ergenuke family.

Because she was the one who had to take care of her younger brother between her mother who had to help her father and manage the Ergenuke family.

“But, sister. This subjugation is….”

When Tania tries to say something to convince her sister.

Buck and go.

I started hearing footsteps in the distance.

Elise turned her head in the direction of the sound and decided to keep her silence until the source of the footsteps got closer.

From a distance, Ellen and EL were walking.

“Ellen.”

Tania called out to Ellen, and Ellen, who had gotten closer to her, raised her hand to Tania and greeted her.

“Good morning. Saint EL and the hero Ellen. This is Elise Ergenuc. You did not come by carriage.”

A polite greeting from Elise.

I wanted to say, “I came on foot because someone blocked the road from far away, but I decided to refine my words and answer as politely as possible.”

“There were many other wagons on the street, so I just walked because the weather was nice.”

It was a sign of displeasure in its own way, euphemistically expressing “Why did you come all the way here to make a fuss?”

Aristocratic way of speaking by name.

“If you had asked the knights, I would have stepped aside, but I apologize unintentionally.”

According to the noble conversation method I learned.

That was close to the meaning of “Why are you being foolish when you can come on your own?”

It was okay to have a decent conversation here hahahahahoho and go into the dorm.

“More than that.”

But.

I didn’t want to act moderately while being criticized for being a lesser fella.

If you get cursed at, you should get something.

“You seem to think that I am less fallen, Commander of the Knights of Elise.”

“Did you hear?”

“Your voice is so good, it was unintentional. Do you want to spat?”

“Eh, Ellen?!”

Elise raises an eyebrow at my straightforward words, and Tania runs towards me in amazement.

The pajamas are also pajamas, the front is all open, and the hair is a mess.

If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s a fight of love.

I rushed over and put my hands on my chest and looked down at the restless Tania.

“No. Ellen. My sister is stronger than you think. It’s not that you’re weak, but you still have limits….”

Tania kept her voice low and whispered as if she were telling some great secret.

It was about two steps away from panic.

The leather of Caulcasus was an indispensable tool for dealing with the executioner in the future.

So Tania was prepared to make some sacrifices.

But that was Tania’s sacrifice for her own safety, and she didn’t want to hurt Ellen.

“I, I, I will get the loot even if I just ask for it….”

“Write.”

Tup.

Ellen’s big hand covered Tania’s messy hair.

Why is he so upset?

“What am I going to die for? Calm down.”

Tuk-tuk.

I don’t want to be stroked, I patted her on the head a few times.

Then Tania kept her mouth shut, and Elise looked at me with a strange expression.

Tania would think that I was just pissed off and asked Elise to fight.

I’m not stupid, and I have no desire to increase my enemies more than necessary.

“Now, can I say something to the Knight Commander?”

“Yes, please.”

Unlike Tania’s worries.

Rather, Elise decided to slightly raise her evaluation of Ellen through her meeting this time.

At first, her naive prejudice that a prosecutor must have that level of grit played a role.

It was surprising to see Tania regain her stability around Ellen.

Aside from the fact that her sister shows a stable appearance even with her hand on her head, that kind of appearance itself is surprising.

It meant that Ellen hadn’t treated Tania carelessly.

It was shameful that Tania had seen Ellen’s ills up until now.

“I understand that you are concerned about my performance, Captain.”

So Elise answered with a softer voice than before.

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“To solve that question, I am willing to engage in sparring with the Knight Commander.”

“Good news. That’s what I came for anyway.”

“But.”

Elise keeps her silence as if to say more.

“I am currently injured. It was an injury sustained during an irregular sparring with the Erantel Knight Commander in the temple of Erantera.”

Ellen pulled out her gold bandaged hand from her pocket.

“The result was my victory.”

That was also pretty badass.

I was about to say

, But I didn’t say that because I wanted to protect her face.

Elise’s eyes change.

But she just stared at Ellen without rushing to say her words.

As if calculating something in her head, she seemed to want to deliberately get her first words out.

“Are you saying that being the leader of the Erantel Knights isn’t enough to prove my skills?”

It can’t be.

Hearing his words, Elise was obviously surprised.

No matter how much Darhan is the weakest of the Knights Commanders, he is still the Knights Commander.

She was a person who was vastly different from Ellen’s skills that Elise had assumed.

“Before that, there is one thing I want to confirm.”

It was only then that Elise opened her mouth.

If everything Ellen said is true, then of course she has no reason to go through the hassle of sparring.

Darhan wasn’t the kind of person who would take care of Ellen after seeing her brave face.

Rather, it would have bitten more like a poisonous snake.

If everything Ellen said was true.

Elise looked at EL.

“I would like to receive a confession of Ellen’s remarks from the saintess.”

Declaration.

A kind of guarantee.

The saintess’s declaration means that if the contents are not true, she can hold the saintess accountable.

It’s not often that you want a guarantee, but I soon found out why.

“The sparring between Ellen and Darhan has been ordered by Elder Raihandro to be silent.”

“Hamguryeong?”

When did that bastard issue the Hamgu Order?

I looked down at EL, asking what she was talking about, and EL showed an embarrassed expression.

“I was going to solve it on my own, but it seems that the news has already come in.”

She received a permit from the pope and came out, and she was reported about the mutilation order, but EL rejected it.

However, despite the saintess’ refusal, Raihandro arbitrarily declared the mutilation order.

It was not common for elders and saints to disagree.

“Have you ever heard of the hero?”

“Yes. I don’t think it’s been a day since I’ve been beaten, but it’s already been a long time since I’ve been beaten.”

Darhan, Raihandro these bastards.

It must have been embarrassing.

So, Elise’s words meant that if the saintess confirmed the facts through her declaration, she would withdraw from sparring.

To be honest, Elise wasn’t expecting much.

Because the order to silence the elder was simply an elder, and it was a process that was usually achieved through the agreement of the entire temple.

As long as the elder declared the silence order, there was a high probability that Ellen and Darhan’s sparring would be dismissed as ‘nothing happened’ at the level of the holy war.

“Can you make a statement? Holy Maiden.”

If.

One in a million.

There is a possibility that Raihandro disregarded the opinions of the saintess and the pope and issued an arbitrary order to mute.

If it is the elder’s arbitrariness, then there will be another problem.

The elder’s arbitrariness means that another seed of division has been planted in the temple, willing to disobey the saint.

It was never a good thing for Ergenuke, who had to coordinate the kingdom and the holy war.

“Rayhandro….”

After talking to himself, EL looked at Elise.

To clear the obstacles in front of Ellen.

Now, it was my turn to start pressing slowly.

“I confess, Commander of the Knights of Elise.”

From noble mtl dot com

From today onwards, a powerful horse named Ergenuk will stand before Raihandro.

“I did not agree with Elder Raihandro’s order to keep silent, and since the elder’s arbitrary order is not binding on me as a saint, my declaration is valid.”

I felt Elise’s face stiffen for a moment.

There is silence for a while.

Because Elise didn’t open her mouth.

“Saintess.”

“Yes, Commander of the Knights of Elise.”

With the saintess’ confession, Elise was able to put aside her worries about my skills.

However, the worries as a family leading the kingdom were different.

The fact that the seeds of division were planted in the temple.

Perhaps it was more than a question of my skills.

“Is the Pope all right?”

“The Pope is safe under the blessings of God.”

Elise always remembered the benevolent voice of the pope who greeted her, saying, “May her Goddess bless her.”

Very clear enough that Pope Febro’s wisdom played a part in Elise’s decision.

“Peto Ezac.”

“Yes, Captain.”

“Retrieve the best of the intelligence officers assigned to the expedition and other families, reorganize them, and send them to the temple. The people to watch are Raihand the Elder and Darhan, the Commander of the Erantel Knights. Everyone else suspicious.”

“Okay.”

Things slowly begin to move at the fingertips of those in power.

EL smiled.
