108 – Daesinjeon Fraud (2)
“What do you mean, gray giant? Explain in detail.”
However, Isidore crawled under the bed and showed no sign of coming out.
I just hit my head on the floor and trembled.
“I completely lost my mind.”
As I was squatting next to the bed, I heard a voice from behind.
I turned around to see a woman with her flowing dark hair standing in her doorway with her arms crossed.
Upon seeing the 4th princess of the empire, Emeric knelt down on one knee and prostrated herself.
“Your Excellency, what are you doing here?”
“For some reason, the Imperial Wizard who went to solve the Death Knight, a major threat to the Empire, has returned, so I personally came to encourage him.”
“Is that so? You are truly excellent. The Imperial Wizard is in such a state right now, so I give my thanks on his behalf.”
“It’s something I don’t even think about. But has it completely changed?”
4 The princess pointed with her chin at Isidore, who was hiding under the bed.
“I don’t know the exact condition yet, but I will definitely recover.”
“I hope so. Why don’t you call your friend, the chief saint.”
“If the abilities of the saints at the Imperial Treatment Center are limited, I will do so.”
4 The princess walked over and squatted down next to her bed.
Then she clapped her hands and clicked her tongue.
“Tsk tsk tsk. Irion. Irion, Isidor.”
Emeric clenched his molars at the insulting behavior of her, as if he was treating her dog.
“You’ve become a complete idiot. So since you can’t even use magic, what do you think about taking me into my harem instead?”
“It doesn’t seem like he’s that bad at being a human just yet, so I’ll take care of it myself and help Isidore recover. Don’t worry too much.”
The 4th princess immediately realized Emeric’s intention to criticize the four-year-old’s harem, saying that it was a place where only things that could not act as humans went
“By the way, Commander Knight.”
“Speak.”
“I heard that the berserker is also dead? His name is…”
“This is Eleanor.”
“Yes. That blue-haired girl. She and Isidore must be going through a lot of trouble these days.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
“They are the heroes of the nation’s salvation who defeated the Great Evil, but why is it that everyone speaks so negatively of them? It seems like they have been cursed by the Great Evil.”
4 At the princess’s mockery, Emeric just smiled and shook her head.
“There is no such thing as the curse of the Great Devil.”
“Really? Are you sure? Did you check it yourself when you plunged the knife into the archdemon’s heart, then?”
“Well, I don’t know.”
Emeric said, ignoring the 4th princess’s aggressive questions
“Then I will wake up first.”
“That’s right. The position of knight commander isn’t always a place to eat, so you must be busy.”
The 4th princess stood up following Emeric.
Emeric came out of the treatment center and bowed his head to the 4th princess.Then the 4th princess gently stroked Emeric’s head.
Emerick’s shoulders trembled slightly at that cold touch.
“Always watch your neck, Emeric?”
The 4th princess’s pronunciation is quite unclear, whether she is taking care of her neck or her body.
4 When the princess disappeared beyond her hallway, Emeric slowly raised her head.
It won’t be long now for you bitch to use your tongue like a snake.
So, feel free to install it when you have time.

Emeric, who returned to the Knights headquarters, mobilized all the intelligence agents under his command.
The intention was to find out what happened at the Zerebe Watchtower.
And a few hours later.
Emeric instructed his adjutant to bring his horse his.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to Daeshinjeon. I’ll be back before dinner.”
Emeric arrived at the Great Hall on horseback and immediately went to see the chief saint.
As it happened, her chief saint was in her own office and Emeric was able to meet her.
“What are you doing at this time, Commander of the Imperial Knights, whose work has been completed?”
The chief saint welcomed Emeric with a gentle smile.
“It’s not that the construction was a failure, but the entire construction was a failure, Calliope.”
Calliope laughed slightly at that expression.
“Is it because of Eleanor?”
“There’s that too. Isidore suffered as well.”
“What does a high wizard say to a demon hunter?”
“First, give me something to drink. I’m thirsty.”
Soon, an apprentice nun brought out some boring tea that was almost plain water.
“What is this? It doesn’t taste anything.”
“This is tea that is enjoyed at temples. It is impossible to drink extravagant tea in a temple that is supposed to be an example for its subjects.”
Damn it, thought Emeric.
It’s a magnificent marble building lined with colonnades, and the interior is filled with all kinds of expensive statues and gilded furniture.
There are so many incredibly expensive things here right now.
Anyway, for those who claim to believe in God, there is nothing honest and faithful about them.
“What happened to Isidore?”
“Do you know that we went to the western border to capture Death Knight?”
“I know.”
“I met Leonard there.”
“I see.”
Calliope responded calmly.
However, she couldn’t help the fluttering around her eyes.
“To be exact, I think my spirit broke down when I encountered the gray giant, not Leonard.”
“Did you say gray giant?”
“Okay. You know best what I’m talking about.”
“I see. In the end, Leonard… But what were the circumstances that led him to do that?”
“I heard that the wizard she brought with her opened a portal that swallowed up the Death Knight. When the wizard was dragged into the portal, Leonard jumped in to save it. I don’t need to say anything after that, right?”
“If it is a portal that attracts a Death Knight, it is impossible to escape on one’s own, so they borrowed Nightrend’s power. This is indeed an action worthy of Leonard.”
Emeric’s eyes twitched.
“How about acting like Leonard?”
“It’s about risking your life to protect the people you care about. And always finding a way to survive, even in absolutely impossible situations.”
“Yeah. Honestly, he’s a great guy.”
Emeric nodded his head in approval.
“But it’s different if he’s our enemy, Calliope. Now we have to actively stop him.”
“Why should I do that?”
Emeric was somewhat taken aback by Calliope’s question.
“Why?”
“Leonard quietly left the empire without any questioning despite our betrayal. And now he is living his own life in the principality, running a guild.”
“Eleanor and Isidore were killed by that bastard. You could be next.”
“If Eleanor had not been excessively greedy, he might have been able to avoid such a terrible death. And Isidore did not personally harm the child, did he?”
“Are you going to step out now, Calliope?”
Emeric said sternly.
“From the moment we decided to exclude Leonard from defeating the Great Evil, we had already crossed an irreversible river.”
“I’m not trying to go back. What I’m saying is, let’s just leave Leonard alone.”
“Leave me alone?”
“That’s right. Master Leonard is a good man by nature. If we don’t provoke him first, he will live peacefully in the Land of Wine, running a guild.”
“Caliope. Neither Eleanor nor Isidore provoked Leonard in the first place. It just happened that they got involved with that guy.”
Calliope sipped tea in silence.
“Neither you nor I can be sure when and how we will encounter Leonard, or whether we will be safe there.”
Despite Emeric’s words, Calliope remains steadfast.
Emeric became frustrated and finally decided to take out his hidden card.

“As long as we live under the same sky, we will meet one day. You don’t think I’ll be the only one dying when that time comes, right?”
“You’ve always been a coward.”
“What did you say?”
“Because you are afraid of Leonard, you are worrying about things that have not happened and continuing to do unreasonable things.”
“Caliope, you are in no position to criticize me now…”
Before Emeric could say anything, Calliope continued speaking.
“The reason I agreed to betray Leonard-sama was because I so coveted the position of Chief Saint. Other than that, I have no resentment or ill-feeling towards Leonard. Of course, Leonard-sama wouldn’t think so.”
“But if it comes out this way, that sense of accomplishment will be short-lived.”
“I know. If I don’t continue to cooperate, Master Emeric is threatening to use any means possible to remove me from the position of Chief Saint. So, I have no choice but to help you this time as well.”
Emeric shook his head at Calliope’s heinous words and actions.
That saint is always like that. As if she had no choice, she leaves a corner to escape every time.
“So, how can I help you this time?”
Calliope smiled softly.
“From what I understand, the experience of the healer in Leonard’s guild is quite unusual.”
Calliope showed interest in Emeric’s words

“Director…”
Clear dawn morning, inside the reed fields of the Lumiere River.
Celestine, entangled with Leonard, let out an excited breath and twisted her body.
