(EP.14) Do you dream of freedom? # 2
014 – Do sheep dream of freedom? # 2
The central court of Angmar is one of the most beautiful in the world.
Shiny marble floors and red carpets. The ceiling soaring high in the sky and the pillars on which it is dedicated.
All of the stylish furniture was woven from cedar and looked like a work of art.
The statues made by grinding white ivory are a tribute to the great Angmar kings of the time.
The most beautiful of all these beautiful things was the queen herself who sat on the throne.
“… … .”
Queen Aira was sitting on her throne, her arms crossed and she was just looking down at everything.
Of course, it was no different than usual.
Today was the worst day ever for the high-ranking officials in the court who were watching the queen’s complexion.
hum-.
huh-.
While everyone was looking at each other’s eyes, the fifth official in the royal court, Prime Minister Pargas, coughed and stepped forward.
“Cool, cool. I will then begin the regular court meeting.”
With the sound of phlegm from a long lung disease, the court meeting finally began.
it started
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Nothing is going on
“there. So, what is the order and agenda for today’s meeting?”
In response to a question from Sir Belmot, who is in charge of the court’s finances and treasury, Prime Minister Pargas unfolds the long scroll to the floor and carefully examines it.

Chorrrrrrrrrrrrrr-.
“Let’s see. So, the first item. A rogue cabal that is causing damage to the fortress nobles, and the trend of the Black Robes.”
“Not Robdan, not Robdan?”
“Aha. Rob’s. Trends for black robes and, um. let’s go Well. Why are the letters so small?”
“Huh-.”
“Hmm-.”
At Noh Shin-ha’s words today and tomorrow, everyone groans in pain.
Although Prime Minister Pargas was an excellent man, that was still a story from 20 years ago.
The man who does this today and tomorrow conducts a meeting-. However, none of the ministers of the court willingly replaced Pargas.
I didn’t have the guts to do it, and I didn’t have to.
At least it was until yesterday.
Instead of finance, Belmott looked around and looked for the appearance of a man – no, a boy, but his distinctive face was nowhere to be seen.
Then someone grabs Belmot’s back.
When I turned my head, the bald, one-eyed minister was looking at me.
It was Pilaf, a man who survived by cunningly riding a rope.
“Sir Belmot. His figure is nowhere to be seen. Teo Gospel. Do you know what happened?”
“Why are you asking me that, Sir Pilaf?”
“Because. Yes, Tae-oh, the one I hated the most was Sir Belmott, you no. Could it be that you finally overthrew him with the conspiracies you were plotting behind the scenes?”
“It’s a conspiracy. watch your mouth I am now the queen’s henchman, a member of the royalist faction.”
“Heng-. You will.”
Minister of Foreign Affairs Pilaf and Minister of Finance Belmott talked among themselves as if it was a court meeting.
After all, it’s a meeting without that man, Tae-oh Gospel, because it’s just an empty shell.
In fact, even Queen Aira just closed her eyes as if in thought.
Belmot said, examining the queen’s complexion.
“I have absolutely nothing to do with this. Rather, I want to know what is going on. The limbs I had planted were all cut off by Tae-oh the other day.”
“That’s right. I heard that the Queen and Tae-oh were secretly crossing the court wall in the middle of the night and wandering around town yesterday.”
“City?”
“I must have gone out and made a mistake.”
“That’s right.”
That’s right – Belmot nodded his head moderately, but Belmott knew that the man, Tae Oh Gospel, was one who would never make a mistake.
The man, who was about to reach the contract, quickly grasped the conspiracy that Belmot had been preparing for a long time, and threw it into the mud in just one day.
She even brought her daughter, which she had hidden in a secret hideout, and held her as a hostage under the title of a maid of the court.
How the hell did you know?
‘The hiding place where Clara was hidden must have been so secret that even I didn’t know?’
Thanks to this, the seeds of rebellion centered on the Dawning Society were trampled down before they could even be ignited.
I hate to admit it, but he’s terrifyingly resourceful.
Is it really that there is such a thing as foresight as the nickname of a fairy?
Are you really from slavery?
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Not to mention, there is no information about his past or his identity.
The only thing he can understand is the link with the denomination that comes from the name of Gospel and the history of being purchased as a slave by the Lioness family.
Even before that, it was a very distant void.
At least, if you are a human, there must be traces of your life.
Unless he was later incorporated into society after living like a wild dog in the mountains, there must be at least one record or testimony from people.
Teo Gospel had none of that.
Perfect nothing, as if he had been sentenced to annihilation
It’s embarrassing.
‘You seem used to the social world. Although there were some awkward points, he was a very noble man in both formality and demeanor. He wasn’t the one who lived like a bum in the wild. Perhaps the Fallen Nobility… .’
A very ambitious Fallen noble.
That was the identity of the Taeoh gospel that Belmot had expected.
Such a fallen nobleman has come into the palace to dazzle the queen and manipulate it here and there.
It is no wonder that the country is faltering.
Maybe it’s revenge for the country that ruined his family – Belmott thought until yesterday.
There was something I found out today.
“The story doesn’t go all the way. I didn’t know you’d miss him.”
“Let’s say that. If anything goes wrong, it’s Lord Belmott’s fault.”
“Sir Pilaf, why are you talking about me?”
“Isn’t it Sir Belmort who worked the hardest to tease Tae-oh? He’s a fairy, whatever, it’s you who made the rumors on the street.”
“… There was no reason why it had to be. In order to be successful, I had to separate Tae-oh from the queen… .”
“Then you shouldn’t have failed. Thanks to you, Tae-oh was punished for coming out of the Queen’s eyes. I should congratulate you.”
“… … .”
Belmot had nothing to respond to Pilaf’s sarcasm, the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Although Bondi himself dreamed of ousting Tae-oh and Queen Aira.
It is a story about a time when the Dawning Council and their own slush funds were confident that they could change the country with their power.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Now they are all gone.
If Tae-oh, who had the only control over the queen, disappeared from her seat, Belmott could never have imagined what would happen to the court in the future.
I hate to even imagine
said pilaf.
“The Mad Queen’s collar is loose. If so, someone must grab the leash. Who would want to hold a tiger’s leash? It’s really bad.”
Belmott agreed with him.
How did the relationship between Queen Aira and Tae-oh Gospel, which seemed to last for thousands of years, ended up in catastrophe?
This was very bad.
What if the slander that he had really spread out had an effect belatedly?
‘not good.’
I really, really don’t want to admit it, but as long as his daughter is being held as a maid in the court, the man Tae-oh was absolutely necessary for the peace of the court.
“So Sir Pilaf, do you know where and what he is doing now?”
“Yeah.”
Minister of Foreign Affairs Pilaf smiles.
This cunning bald bastard. I usually pretend to be stupid, but behind the scenes I see all the benefits. Of course, so was he.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, to exaggerate, everyone here in the court must be deliberately pretending to be stupid. Pretending to be smart or flirtatious, you have to take on all kinds of work.
It’s like a group assignment at an academy where a handsome guy has to lead.
So I pretended to be an idiot and it worked fine so far.
For the past year, Tae-oh took care of all the annoying and dirty work himself… .
So, where is he now?
At that time, Pilaf revealed the location of Tae-oh.
Belmott was startled.
Because it was the most incompatible place with Tae-oh.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, maybe it was the most suitable place, but… .
“… dungeon?”

Clap, clap.
“Teo Gospel, it’s a meal.”
While I was endlessly locked in the cage, someone brought a tray towards me.
When I lifted my head, I saw a maid with blonde hair neatly tied back and a hairband on her head, looking down at me with contempt.
“Miss Clara. What’s on my lunch menu today?”
“Mushroom mushroom soup. Heh, it’s worse than that. Wielding a foolish queen and imprisoned innocent people. You never thought you’d end up in a dungeon, did you?”
The finance minister, Belmott’s daughter Clara, criticized me for being imprisoned in the palace’s dungeon. I don’t like it.
don’t like it
I’m working as a court maid, which I wouldn’t have been able to sell because of me.
I said as an excuse.
“I never put an innocent person in. I put in those who could get in.”
“Who believes that?”
“Believe and sleep, that is the truth. The truth doesn’t become a lie just because you don’t want to believe it.”

Clara snorts with excitement.
As we talked, I looked at Clara’s whereabouts and found that her face was glowing and there were no signs of being injured or hit.
“Is the court job worth it?
“Thank you!”
The maids are so terrified of newcomers that some nurses burn them.
I don’t know if I passed the unusual ‘Welcome Ceremony’ by receiving sympathy votes from senior maids for having been slapped by me.
Of course, this Clara doesn’t know that.
“Now what? The court gardener, Teo Gospel. No, is this Tae-oh gospel, which is nothing now? Will you be executed?”
“Would you like that?”
“I can’t lie.”
A girl who doesn’t know what to say or not to say.
I was handed the soup from the handmaiden and decided to change the horse’s hair just as a joke.
“You didn’t spit in the soup, did you?”
“… … .”
why no answer
As I was about to put the spoon down, Clara said.
“I didn’t spit. Because there’s no need for that. In the end, she was abandoned by the queen and died. I am sorry.”
“You keep insulting me and provoking me. But anyway, what if I ever get out of this cage and go outside? Can you afford it?”
you, me can you afford it
When asked like a movie line, Clara chuckled as if it was nonsense.
“Are you going to get out of the palace dungeon? It’s the court here that you can’t get out unless you’re a corpse. either a maid or a prisoner. Gospel, you know better, right?”
It is not.
But my case was a little different.
“what. What kind of guests are there? Hey, Tae. came out There is a girl who will visit the prison.”
Someone was walking in the distance with a torch. Then he stands in front of my cage and opens the prison door with the key he was holding in his hand.
“You are from the Lioness… . Why are you here?”
“ah. Isn’t that Clara? What, you were working as a maid. Is this the first time since Ira’s birthday party a year ago?”
“Uh, uh-.”
“The maid outfit suits you well. Rather, step aside. I have to go to jail.”
Elgar Lioness pushed Clara aside, then entered my prison and released the chains and shackles that were attached to my wrists.
Scream, blank-. tongue-.
“A full day in the dungeon. Now that it’s over, it’s release, prisoner Tao Gospel. I have decided to take over your personal life.”
Sreak, Sreak.
I patted my wrists and legs with the joy of being free. Even though it was only one day, being in this prison was a terrible experience.
There are rumors that there are ghosts here. There are so many bugs, it’s horrible.
“Uh, how.”
Of course, Clara trembled as if she never knew I would get out of prison already. The trauma from being hit in the face must still be there.
“I said. Can I afford it?”
“Heh, heh heh.”
As I growled in fear, Clara sank to the floor. Seeing her like that, I laughed so hard that all my teeth were exposed.
“It’s a joke.”
