Champion’s Advent – 1
I continued.
“The Count made fun of his maid when he had a wife. Unfortunately or fortunately, my wife passed away while my maid was pregnant and recuperating.”
“……”
“If it were me, I would rather have confessed my mistake and asked for atonement… It seems to have been hidden in the end because I didn’t want it to be revealed that I was playing with another woman while my wife was sick.”
Ariana’s lips trembled.
“Da, how do you know all that?”
“I have wide feet and I have bright ears.”
“……”
“You have arrived.”
When I opened the door of the inn, the first person to run out was.
It was Setlia.
She sobbed as she hugged Ariena tightly.
“Sobbing. miss. You have returned safely.”
“nurse.”
“sorry. I was by your side and I couldn’t do anything.”
“Yes. no. do not say that. I am so glad that the nanny is safe.”
Tears welled up in Ariena’s eyes.
From behind came Xenia and Neryl.
Xenia sniffed and asked me.
“What about the offense?”
“He said he would watch until he was done with this. We’ll see you again after we’re done.”
“It’s expensive.”
“it’s okay. Actually, I didn’t think he’d be able to join our party right away. Rather, it is better for him to be a little more cautious.”
“yes?”
I shook my head as if it was nothing.
Then, this time, Neryl opened his mouth.
“Anyway, that’s the end of it. What are you going to do specifically?”
“Ugh.”
“Hey, if we tell Ariena that she’s safe, the war will be stopped, but will the Count just let the world know that she’s okay? He’s a man who’s desperate to start a war.”
Her question was directed at me, but Xenia, Ariena, and Setlia were also looking at me.
I scratched my head and first told Ariena.
“There is a way I thought of.”
“……”
“If you use this method, the count’s face will be crumpled, torn and trampled. Can I do that?”
Setlia is in a hurry to answer something.
cuckoo.
But Ariena grabbed her hand and shook her head.
Then I took a step forward and took a deep breath.
“it’s okay. I will take all responsibility.”
“……”
“Please, trample his face.”
“Looks like you’re ready.”
“yes. Now I don’t want to call my mother a nanny anymore.”
It seems that Setlia is startled.
I smiled softly and nodded my head.
“It will be a fatal blow to the Count by itself, but let me help you a little more.”
“yes?”
“The operation will be carried out in the morning in two days. And I will dig up and deliver the numerous crimes and corruptions that the Count has committed until then. It will be a great weapon for Young-e who has a big will.”
At that time, the trail was terribly surprised.
[Hey, maybe you again?]
“Of course, having a weapon doesn’t necessarily mean winning. Youngae must decide how to wield it in the right place.”
[no no. That’s not it. I am against that operation.]
“Young-ae will be able to do enough. He is a wise man.”
[I’m not listening. Yes, I’d rather have fun. I’m enjoying it.]
A firm determination hung on Ariena’s expression.
She wiped the tears from her eyes and stood with her back straight.
“You seem to have more political sense than I thought.”
“It’s about just looking at it and picking it up.”
“I know. I’ll do what you said. One year… No, in half a year at the latest, I will drive out the Count and take his place.”
“I believe.”
A strange heat appeared in her eyes.
“Can you stay by my side for half a year?”
“I’m sorry, but it seems difficult. I have to go to another territory.”
“Huhu. I thought so too. You are not small enough for someone like me to hold you.”
“……”
“But I have a request. Please visit this estate again at any time. At that time, I will welcome you as the owner of this place.”
The woman who said that was no longer a young girl or someone who could be described as a young lady.
It already exudes a dignity comparable to that of the owner of a manor.
I politely bowed and answered.
“I will definitely do that.”
Then I heard Trail’s voice.
[great. Then let’s have some fun overtime.]
Why is this guy all of a sudden?
Thanks to Trail’s struggles, I was able to secure all the secrets I had with the people in the Count’s Piglet.
Organized it and handed it over to Ariena.
Surprisingly, she didn’t seem very surprised.
“It’s roughly what I was guessing.”
“You are truly wonderful.”
“no. A great thing is the warrior. I don’t know how the hell did you figure out all these things in the room.”
“Are you going to be called a warrior for nothing?”
I was joking, but Ariena responded seriously.
“okay. After all, a hero is beyond the perception of a criminal. What was written in the history books was not fiction at all.”
“……”
“But I think Maid is much better than the four warriors in history.”
“Hmmm. I appreciate your compliment.”
I have received compliments in itself, many times.
However, it was the first time I had been praised as a ‘hero’, so it felt like my face was turning red.
Neril and Xenia whispered.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen him look like that.”
“I must have been very hurt by the sound of the warrior. Shall we call you a hero from now on too?”
“I don’t like it because I feel like I’m going to get sloppy in no time.”
“That’s right. I feel like my nostrils are going to explode.”
“Are you feeling a little better these days?”
“Fufu. Iknow, right.”
So, why does your heart only work when you lay on me?
I flicked my face lightly and changed the topic.
“Anyway, in order for the schemes and corruption to shine through, we must first inform the world of Ariena-sama’s well-being.”
“Ah yes. You said you definitely had something in mind. What can I do?”
Instead of answering, I looked at Xenia.
“Take some rides to our Agril.”
“……?”
“Jenia, I said to you. Don’t look around.”
“What is Agril?”
“Does it come out like that?”
“no. Agril is God’s beast, God’s chariot! I mean, nobody rides on their backs but me.”
She protested, but it didn’t work for me, as I remember traveling around the continent with our party members before returning.
“It’s not okay if we try to get on. So you have to convince Agril.”
“He’s not athletic enough, so he shouldn’t exceed the quota.”
“How do you know how many people there are, since you have never had only one of you on board? Anyway, give it a try.”
“Oh. What if I get angry?”
Although she hesitated, she accepted my words for once.
Neryl said with a glaring eye that he was very much looking forward to riding on the back of a beast of legend.
“It’s fine with me, but why do you have to ride on Agril?”
“Everything I do is to increase my reputation.”
“…can I say that openly in front of Young-ae here?”
Well. Is that too?
As I was reflecting a bit, Ariena answered coldly.
“Fame seems to be a pretty important virtue for a warrior. There’s absolutely nothing to blame for using your best means to get what you want. I will do the same in the future.”
“You have come to accept what Maid is doing unconditionally.”
“You, the hero, I was patient because I was a colleague, but I have to say something. I have no intention of looking down on you just because you are a noble. But even if you look at your age, you look a lot younger than me, but please show me a little more respect.”
Ariena doesn’t seem to know that Neryl is the famous Witch of Wickedness.
‘I’m going to get mad again at Neryl’s temperament.’
I quickly tried to intervene.
But Neryl suddenly twitched her lips and said:
“Did you look that young?”
“……”
“thank you. You are a pretty good person.”
what.
Count Tobira had a foreboding that something was wrong.
The al-Qahad branch manager, Dayt, is nowhere to be seen.
There was no more use of dating because there was only one day left before the competition, but it was rather uneasy to see the child who is the embodiment of that greed.
Tobira looked down at his army in an orderly fashion, looking down the wall.
When viewed from above, it looks as if it is going to be worth a hundred per day.
But in reality, the story that circulated between them was far from Kang-gun.
“Ugh. To go to war at this age.”
“shit. Now is the time to sow in a little while. Does Yeongju have any other thoughts?”
“Shh. If you don’t want your neck to fly, shut your mouth.”
“Honestly, what can I do to find Miss Ariena? What a lovely person you were.”
“Did you really hide her from Kitur? There are a lot of things that I don’t quite understand.”
“Ahh. At a time like this, I wish the hero would appear and solve everything.”
“You are a warrior. Then I heard a rumor…”
Those were the stories.
After that time, around noon, all preparations for the competition were finished.
They are all frozen and they are looking for someone to tell you that this reality is a lie.
That was then.
“uh? Me, that!”
Suddenly, a soldier raised his index finger toward the sky.
He was the epitome of a lack of discipline, but no one could blame him.
It was because a certain beast appeared from the sky the soldier was pointing at.
Agril, the carriage of the gods.
It is a secret that most ordinary people do not even know about.
Therefore, the soldiers began to accept the appearance of Agril itself as a ‘sign’.
“Aww! it’s a monster It’s a monster!”
“How could such a monster appear right before the match? It’s all ruined, it’s all ruined.”
“Uh-huh. mother.”
“After this battle, I was going to propose to my lover!”
“hey. If you say that, you die!”
That was then.
Suddenly, a heavy voice began to be heard from the back of the unknown beast.
It was Maid’s voice using Neril’s voice amplification magic.
“everyone. Don’t worry.”
“Ugh.”
“You don’t have to fight. You don’t have to kill anyone. Today, all of you are going back to your home. I will make it happen.”
After one beat, as if measuring timing, the voice resounded loudly again.
“Me, Maid Mohan.”
I gave a full speech on Agril’s back and looked back.
Neryl, Xenia, and Ariena were riding on Agril’s back together.
Even though it’s the other two, it’s quite surprising that Ariena showed such a determined attitude at such a height.
“Ariana. I made the bottom rice…… Uh-huh. The atmosphere was set appropriately. Are you ready?”
“……”
“Ariana?”
“……”
Trail said.
[I think I passed out with my eyes open.]
Wasn’t it intentional?
Somewhat rudely, I grabbed her by the shoulder and shook her lightly.
“oh.”
“sorry. Because timing is life now. I will punish you for this disrespect later.”
“eww. Oh no. Rather, I am sorry. It’s the first time I’ve been to a place this high.”
“I understand. Shall we start then?”
“yes.”
She took my hand and slowly stood up on Agril’s back.
Neryl frowned slightly for some reason.
“Are you a very polite escort?”
“I’m a bit of a gentleman.”
“That’s it.”
“Anyway, I’ll start. Flying magic, please.”
“yes.”
She prepared magic.
I told Xenia in the meantime.
“You adorn us splendidly with your divine power.”
“It’s not a divine power that is meant to be used at times like this, but I feel like it’s just now for some reason. I know.”
“great.”
I led Ariena and stood on Agril’s back.
Let’s start slowly.
It’s the advent of the warrior.
