Episode 12
“We are from a hunter’s village in the mountains. It was me and my mom and two of us. Usually, my mother hunted and sold her skin, and I made a living by digging up nearby herbs.”
It’s a hunter’s town… .
“I don’t remember when I was completely young . My mom said it’s been like that since I hit my head in the ground. Hehe…”
As Allen remembers, it was a village inhabited by wild hunters and rugged mountain climbers.
‘It is said that a mother raised her child alone in such a place… As a hunter too.’
I couldn’t say it was normal.
“By the way… . A monster appeared, and Uncle Henkel, who was digging for herbs next door, and Uncle Jason, who said he was fearless, disappeared, and the merchants did not come to the village… .”
Allen hung up because the explanation would be too long.
“So, what caused you to fight with the soldiers?”
She rolled her eyes and remembered that it was Allen, and then she lowered her eyes again.
“… Yes, that’s it. That’s how I evacuated to the city. By the way… .”
“You’re blocked at the checkpoint.”
After saying that, Allen was also puzzled.
The situation is that they cannot accommodate all the evacuees and are left outside the city, but how is she here?
“… That, so.”
When she showed another hesitation, Allen said strongly.
“therefore.”
When Allen urged him like that, she replied with her eyes closed as if she couldn’t help it.
“… I paid a bribe and sneaked in.”
“If you go to the west or east gates instead of the north and south gates, which have large gates, you can sneak into the city with a reasonable bribe.”
She trembled as if it had been a serious sin, but Allen did not think much of it.
He must have come to a city where he could be assured of safety even by paying a bribe. You can get inside the safe wall from the dangerous outside, so what’s the problem?
“So, what caused you to fight with a soldier?”
Contrary to expectations, she responded with a bewildered face to his questioning without any change in expression.
“… I paid a bribe. She ripped out more than half of her fortune, but she said it’s better for her to be safe, so she just paid for it, so she gave her fur and all the herbs… .”
Then, drops of liquid start to form from her round eyes.
“… Bad guys. When I passed and it was my mother’s turn, I would let you in if I suddenly gave away all of my remaining possessions… . black… .”
Unlike when she yelled at the soldiers, she spoke with tears in her eyes.
sniff-
“… So her mother gave it all in the end, but… . She said the schedule had changed suddenly, and she kicked me out… . Huh… .”
Allen stared at her, who burst into tears as if she was suddenly overcome with sadness.
“… Come here for a moment.”
In the end, I can’t help but pat her, and she weeps louder and wets his forehead.
“Huh… . what about mom Confucius… . whoops… .”
“Okay. i don’t help maybe… .”
‘Because it’s my fault.’ He seems to have contributed in some way to that.
The behavior of the soldiers was anger from her point of view, but Allen said soberly that it had nothing to do with it.
‘If you say the schedule has changed, maybe it’s our group’s fault?’
When Allen and Francisca’s party arrived at the wall, the soldiers who witnessed it from afar seemed to have taken control.
“What if something goes wrong outside my mother… . whoops… .”
Allen silently patted her on the back, thinking of several numbers.
How many days did it take to get to the city before returning? Has she broken up with her mother in the past? What exactly happened to her?
‘I arrived similar to now.’
This was a fact that I only found out after examining the black book.
I recalled the memories before the return, but it was impossible to completely recall the memories of the past, even those years ago.
It was also the memory of an enemy whose hierarchy was not yet high.
Although I remembered the rough, it was difficult to recall the details.
‘The details must depend on the book.’
As the future changed, there would be less useful information about the original and changed history, but the conclusion was clear.
It’s useful enough for now.
“Early tomorrow morning, I will give orders directly to the soldiers. Which door did you say?”
“Wow… . Foreword… .”
“I’ll let you pick me up in the morning.”
Her body trembled greatly, and her red eyes widened.
“Ugh… . Thank you, thank you. Confucius. Seriously, heh, grace is definitely… I will definitely pay you back… . Whoa!”
Allen smiled bitterly and stroked her shiny black hair.
After all, it’s your own fault. are you so happy
After crying for so long, she seemed sleepy, so she babbled softly with her eyes half-closed.
“now… .”
“If you touch me now, I won’t say anything… .”
As she babbled like that, she quickly lost consciousness as she couldn’t stand Suma.
Allen snorted at her, who couldn’t give up her doubts until the very end and got up from her seat.
As I entered the bedroom and laid her down on an extra bed, she grabbed her collar.
It’s a difficult situation to wake up from if you give it strong force.
After 10 days of poisoning, Allen couldn’t stand the suffocation any longer.
“… What are you going to do tomorrow?”
He thought that she would shout and groan tomorrow, so he threw himself on the bed.
Allen’s breathing quickly became even.
At that moment, her eyes, who had been sleeping in his arms, opened slightly.
“… Thank you. really.”
After a while, Inyeong, who had moved with a small sound, let out another even breath.
A smile appeared on the corner of Allen’s lips and disappeared quickly.
It was a peaceful night.
till now.
“here is… . Fuck!”
Allen, who was meditating on the floor, was awakened by a small scream.
When he finished the meditation by repeating a light breath, he saw her with a bewildered expression.
“Why wasn’t the bed comfortable?”
“Well, that’s it… .”
Linbell’s face was filled with shame as to what he was thinking.
Allen grinned as if she knew what she was thinking.
“Oh, it’s okay to lie on my bed. I am tired too.”
“Go, thank you… .”
She quickly got up from her seat and bowed her head. Allen relaxed her stiff body and spoke her words to her as she looked into her eyes.
“That, there, but… .”
“At dawn, I gave the order to the soldier. Shall we go to the west gate together in a little while?”
Let’s puncture exactly where she was concerned. Her complexion brightened brightly.
“thank you!”
“First, get ready. I think we should have a quick meal and go out right away.”
“Yes, yep!”
Shortly after leaving the room, he heard someone calling him.
“Prince Allen?”
When I turned my head to the familiar voice, dark red hair fluttered from behind and approached me with gunshot steps.
“Miss Francisca.”
She was still smiling.
“Did you sleep well? Prince Allen.”
“good morning.”
“You’re still diligent.”
“It’s overrated. Did you sleep well yesterday?”
“Yes, thanks to you, I was able to fall asleep deeply after a long time. By the way… .”
I saw her gaze turned to his back. Linbell let out a short scream when her gaze met.
“Ugh… !”
“That kid… ?”
Allen did not miss the moment when her eyes turned cold.
“This is the child I rescued while walking around the city yesterday. It was too late, so I took him with me.”
“Ugh. is that so?”
She checked Linbell a few times as if searching for something, and when she confirmed that there was nothing wrong, she smiled broadly and started walking.
“Yeah, it was. Last night, Confucius brought a little girl, so I was hoping… .”
Allen walked in step with her. Linbell followed him carefully.
“That’s bullshit.”
“haha. I know what you’re thinking, but… I prefer to be more mature than a kid.”
As Allen shrugged, her eyebrows curled softly.
“I would too… .”
“… I’m not a kid Suck!”
Linbell quickly shut her mouth at the words that came out without me knowing. Her eyes widened and trembled slightly.
But Francisca, who was cut off, didn’t look too bad.
She stroked Linbell’s head as if cute.
“Oh my goodness… The kid is so cute. The name?”
“… This is Linbell.”
“I apologize, I’m sorry for being a kid.”
“Oh, no.”
She was visibly embarrassed when a woman who seemed higher in status apologized.
Then he quickly turned to Allen for help.
Allen saw her eyes and cut between them.
“Miss Franciska, we have urgent work to do… .”
When she paused, Linbell immediately hid behind Allen.
Francisca looked at her as if regretfully, and then opened her mouth lightly as if she had a good idea.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s simple. The child’s mother said she was out of town, so she was just trying to find her.”
I didn’t go into details.
A soldier taking bribes or sneaking in.
Because there was no need to expose public secrets in an open place.
“Aha-” she replied with a short nod of her head.
“Then, can I accompany you?”
are you kung kong
Allen swallowed the words that were about to come out.
I’ve been feeling nauseous ever since.
Not long after coming out of the room into the hallway, I lightly skipped it until I met him by chance.
However, he alludes to his private life, even though it may be viewed as rude.
‘What do you think?’
There was no reason for her to care so much about herself.
It was like that on the way to Hibel, and it’s still the same now. He was also asked if he believed the prophecy.
With some random questions, she appears different from what he knew.
Allen had no idea what she was thinking behind that smiling mask.
“Soldiers will be busy evacuating the villagers from this morning onwards, which we discussed yesterday. It would be easier to find if you would rather take me.”
Allen slowly weighed the gains and losses.
Her words made sense. The soldiers must be busy transporting villagers to the city.
‘It’s useless though.’
