Episode 82.
“Why are the carriages of the Mycenaerian Empire…?”
“Intelligence came in. They say the princess of the Mycenae Empire is coming on board.”
Also someone I know.
There was only one princess in the empire.
Epinia Miquener.
“You mean the princess of the empire? I guess that’s a bit…”
Princess Reckdo seemed burdened.
But the upper class didn’t care.
“No, is that so?”
“Oh no! But, after all, if it’s the imperial princess… there’s an escort…”
What Reck is trying to say makes sense.
If it was an escort protecting the princess of the empire, even if bandits flocked to her, she would not be able to defeat them.
“Even though the other sub-heads agreed?”
“still···.”
“Well, the other underbosses also reacted the same way as you at first.”
“yes?”
“When did I say you were the only ones? Not only you, but others have been recruited.”
“Who is that?”
“I cannot tell you. However, even the escort of the princess is an easy opponent to beat.”
Was it because he thought who the princess’s escort was?
Or rather, why are they aiming for Epinia?
‘What’s certain is that it wouldn’t have happened before the return.’
If so, it was clear that it would have turned into a major incident.
In the first place, Ephinia before the return would have been busy researching her own curse around this time.
wait for a sec.
‘There’s no way they don’t know that Ephinia came to the Holy Empire before that.’
why now
no way···.
‘What if it was the organization’s fault that Ephinia was cursed?’
It sounded so absurd.
But there were a couple of things suspicious.
Why did the devil appear in the imperial library?
Why didn’t Ephinia plan an attack like this when she went to the Holy Empire?
‘Besides, the devil is involved.’
The devil of resurrection was definitely summoned from this organization.
It turned out to be a failure, though.
However, the fact that he summoned a demon once meant that there was a possibility that he had summoned him before.
‘It’s too vague.’
If the book you got from the book demon, Buk, was normal, you would have uncovered all these secrets.
It’s a pity.
Anyway, if you attack Epinia.
‘Before that, I’ll have to find out the location of the boss.’
You just have to make the plan impossible to carry out in the first place.
***
The night has come.
Sangjuju just handed over the plan and left.
Plans in a week.
There is a lot of time.
All you have to do is search this mountain like a mouse and find the boss’s wild vegetables.
‘I haven’t been able to sleep for a week.’
One good thing was that the bandits in this forest didn’t wake up once they were down.
***
Ephinia finished preparing for the trip.
The dissatisfied Messiah who was by Ephinia’s side said.
“Princess, do you really want to go to the Holy Empire of Epia?”
“I told you several times. It’s a place that helped me, so I’m going to say thank you.”
Messiah nodded.
But it was still dissatisfied.
“Aren’t you running away because you don’t want to work?”
For a moment, Ephinia’s actions stopped.
Ephinia looked at Messiah with an awkward smile.
“What is that… what do you mean? Who doesn’t want to work and goes to say thank you?”
“Hmm…”
“By the way, how is Messiah these days?”
From nob le mt l. co m
Now Messiah paused.
“yes···?”
“You know… Patrick.”
It was Ephinia with a sinister smile.
“Why is he suddenly appearing!”
“Wow, that’s it. He is the Messiah.”
The Messiah turned red like a carrot.
Ephinia continued to tease Messiah.
“What about the princess!”
“uh···?”
“The princess is already twenty. You should get married soon.”
Ephinia had no fiancé.
“I don’t even have a fiance, what kind of marriage is that?”
“Is there anyone who really has a heart for you?”
At Messiah’s words, a person appeared in Ephinia’s mind.
The one who saved himself from an unfortunate fate.
‘Why does Suhar’s face come to mind all of a sudden?’
Ephinia’s face turned red.
Messiah smiled sinisterly.
“Who do you think came to mind?”
“What… What!”
“Who the hell did you think of?”
Epinia was irritated and kicked out the Messiah.
And I was lost in thought.
‘If it’s my status and marriage… that’s why I have to be a sword master!’
Suhar is a sword master.
‘And you have to be a noble as well!’
Suhar is a nobleman.
‘Lastly, the face is also important.’
Suhar is handsome.
Even when I thought about everything, it was Ephinia who could only think of Suhar’s face.
‘No, this is too snobbish. He must be a kind person and will do everything for me.’
From nob le mt l. co m
Nevertheless, Suhar’s face was Ephinia.
Epinia shook her head.
“Because of the Messiah, you have strange thoughts. Besides… I don’t even know what Suhar thinks of me…”
With a reddened face, Epinia continued preparing for the trip.
***
Even though the day Ephinia arrived in the Holy Empire approached, I couldn’t find the boss alive.
‘No, is it really on this mountain?’
I wondered if Lek had lied.
I searched this mountain like a rat, but I couldn’t even find a trace.
“Leck subhead!”
“Why?”
“no.”
It is impossible to openly ask where the boss’s wild vegetables are.
Anyway, Sanchae was still busy.
Everyone was busy grooming their weapons.
Everyone was anxious to score a ball.
It was because of the words that Lek’s assistant manager had boasted.
“If our sanchae makes a ball, we will have a festival for several days! And I will give a big gift to the person who made the ball individually.”
I was suffering like this, but the bandits were having fun.
The more I looked at it, the more annoyed I became.
‘Seeing as you already thought the plan was successful, it must fail.’
Of course I was going to fail.
Even if it failed, it was a problem.
‘I have no choice but to find out my identity, right?’
I thought about it.
There are many people living here.
There will be even more if the four places are combined.
I thought it was just one person.
I was now under Leck’s favor.
‘Since you always have me by your side…’
It was impossible to act secretly.
After all, finding the boss’s wild vegetables was the only way.
‘It can’t be helped…’
It seems the time has come to stop playing bandits.
At the same time, Haru seemed to have grown tired of life in the mountains.
‘It’s tonight.’
I’m going to blackmail Lek tonight to find out what the boss is alive.
It did not occur to me that the bandit’s underboss would not give in to threats.
***
Everyone fell asleep except for the guard at the living room.
I secretly infiltrated Lek’s residence.
Lek snored and fell asleep.
‘Tomorrow is the day Ephinia comes, but she’s not nervous at all.’
He was a truly carefree person.
I woke him up by slapping him on the cheek.
Leck wakes up in panic.
Lek stood up with a frown and looked at me, then frowned.
“This guy…!”
I immediately covered Lek’s mouth.
Lek struggled to move, but couldn’t.
It’s because I’ve completely tied it up with telekinesis.
“Hey, Lek.”
Lek looked at me with a terrified expression.
He briefly showed the sword master’s life and said.
“Where is the boss’s wild vegetables?”
Then, Leck started to smell sick.
I was tired of lek in my life.
“Ugh, the sub-head of Sanchae is tired of this. It’s not classy.”
What kind of dignity would a bandit have?
I continued to speak while glaring at Leck.
“Are you going to keep talking?”
But Leck mumbled.
Only then did I realize my mistake.
“Sorry, I was covering my mouth. Just scream.”
Lek was still terrified.
“That… that… that…”
It was Leck who kept stuttering.
“No, speak Lek straight. Where are the boss’s wild vegetables?”
Lek took a few deep breaths and began to speak.
“Actually, I don’t know either.”
“what?”
Is this guy lying in front of me?
“Then wouldn’t it be bad for the gods?”
“Jin… I really don’t know!”
From nob le mt l. co m
No matter how you look at it, it didn’t look like he was lying.
“What the hell are you talking about?”
Clearly, Lek said.
It is said that only the sub-captains of the gang of bandits know the boss’s livelihood.
“It seems you can’t remember what you told me before.”
He immediately covered Reck’s mouth and snapped his fingers.
A distressed Leck.
I snapped my fingers again.
It was a lek that even shed tears.
“Are you thinking of talking now?”
Lek shuddered and said.
“Jin… I really don’t know. The boss just said that.”
It seemed that Reck’s words were true.
‘It’s difficult.’
All my plans went awry.
I had no idea it would be so uncomfortable not to go back as I wanted.
“driving me crazy.”
“Please… please save me!”
“Noisy.”
I’ll have to ask something else.
“What does the boss look like?”
“You are shorter than me.”
“what?”
That’s what it is…
‘Did I learn something?’
At least being the leader of the bandits means that you have proven your strength.
“Are you a prosecutor?”
“Oh, no. I don’t know what it is, but it’s very strong.”
“…?”
Is Leck’s mind going back and forth?
Are you small but strong?
“I don’t know either. He is just very strong.”
be strong
‘no way?’
The stars had all kinds of abilities.
Maybe that means that the boss’s ability is about strength.
“Hey, tell me more about what you look like.”
“That… that… that…”
why are you stuttering
“I do not know.”
“what?”
“When we met, he always wore a mask. So I don’t know.”
“Huh, you were following someone like that.”
It hurts.
They say they don’t even know the boss’s wild life, or even what the boss looks like.
“Why on earth do you follow such a person?”
I didn’t understand.
“Well, is it because I have a lot of money left over?”
what to do anyway
‘How do I find it?’
You don’t have to cut off the root at all.
“hey···.”
“yes?”
“It was useless.”
“What is that…”
I snapped Lek’s neck with telekinesis.
With a creepy sound, Leck’s whites were exposed.
‘hmm···.’
There is only one way.
‘What should I do with the upper class?’
There is no way to know the identity of the boss.
That’s why the next best thing is to handle only the branch.
‘Well, maybe we’ll see you later’
What is unknown is unknown.
Giving up seemed like the right choice.
‘Did I really think I should have saved him anyway?’
I would have been able to do many things with Lek.
However, the risk was great, so I thought killing him was the right choice.
‘Then it’s tomorrow.’
Tomorrow, when the plan is executed, stop the plan and immediately attack the Upper North.
***
Upper North State was outraged.
“what! Someone killed Lek’s underboss?”
A person died on the day of the plan.
He was a man with the position of assistant manager.
He too was assassinated.
“I haven’t been feeling well since the beginning.”
Still, it was something that could happen often among bandits.
“Is it a power struggle?”
It just seemed strange that no one could identify the culprit.
However, for some reason, North Upper County thought about stopping the plan.
But it didn’t.
“It is a mission that came directly from the organization. There should never be failures.”
In addition, the executives of the organization cooperate with this mission.
It was a situation where it was absolutely impossible to show a bad appearance.
“It must be enforced unconditionally.”
Even if someone figured out the plan.
That’s why North Upper State made a big decision.
“I think the cooperation of the executive will be enough, but… I have to call him too.”
Although not an executive in the organization, he was an old friend of North Upper State.
The leader of the bandits, Post.
“At least if he’s with us, it won’t be a problem.”
From nob le mt l. co m
North Sangjuju smiled sinisterly.
For some reason, it was North Upper State, where I felt as if my uneasiness was flying away.
