188 Proud of me
***[Catherine, Duchess]***
Even after coming out of the waiting room, he kept the mask for a while.
It was because it was difficult to suddenly change the emotional mode because I was so nervous that the count of the court might come along.
However, as I moved completely away from the reception room, the dead surroundings caught my eye as if they were being revived.
You begin to feel that you have accomplished something great.
oh my god!
Pushed the king’s messenger like a real duchess.
‘My father was worried that he might have to pay compensation to the duchy, but… I… I saved the duchy!’
It was a little exaggerated, but I passed the big crisis anyway.
yourself!

Duchess!
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Lately, as my heart pounded and moved, I started to feel it.
You can stand proudly next to Oscar.
I did really well this time though.
You can be praised by Oscar-sama.
clearly.
As I clenched my fists, I heard the butler’s voice from the side.
“Very well done, ma’am.”
“… ah!”
I was so nervous that I forgot to check the butler’s signal.
Concentrating only on acting, I didn’t notice what the butler was doing.
I was only concerned with examining the expression and mind of the countess at the court.
… What can I do?
Katrin looked slightly down at the butler, a little downcast.
“Did you… give me a sign?”
The head butler narrowed his eyes and smiled.
“No. You didn’t even give me room to meddle. That was great.”
From nob le mt l dot com
Did you?
heh
Of course it was.
Today, I really poured in everything that I had polished and polished for 15 years.
Today’s Catherine was absolutely perfect.
Just like my aunt possessed, perfect, perfect.
“Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho!”
Unknowingly, a villainous laugh came out.
It’s been a long time.
I wanted to take a pity when I saw the butler’s eyes widened a little, but I couldn’t stop laughing.
Katrin is laughing like a broken marionette, and Anne is approaching from a distance as if running fast.
Run right next to him and pinch his waist slightly.
I can’t even feel the sensation if I pinch it over the corset and dress, but Anne’s action still makes me laugh.
I don’t know why.
After barely ending the villainous laugh, Katrin murmured a little discouraged.
“This laugh is a secret from Oscar-sama…”
“Of course, ma’am.”
The butler hid a smile and lowered his head.
Haa, I showed the perfect duchess after a long time, but the last one was a mess.
got depressed
Anne whispered, tearing her eyes away from the butler.
“I really need to fix that laugh. It’s like a real villain. You were born beautiful after a long time, but why is your laugh like that?”
“I don’t know, no.”
I really don’t know why.
ha.
Is it a curse from God?
A sigh came out spontaneously.
But that’s it, this is this.
After reporting the adventure story of safely defeating the king’s messenger to her mother, Catherine immediately went out to the garden.
In the garden, talk to Anne in detail about the day.
Beside her were the ponies Rose and Pooh, with curious expressions on their faces as if they understood something.
“… Really, isn’t today’s me so cool?”
Anne tilted her head.
“Well… a cat pretending to be a mouse is kind of…”
“…”
“Something isn’t cool.”
“No!”
Anne giggles.
Catherine slipped her hand into her armpit and tickled her, causing Anne to twist and run away.
“Puuu?”
Perhaps thinking it was a game, Pooh waddled after Anne.
She lowered her body and snapped on Anne’s skirt.
Anne’s skirt tore with a creaking sound.
“Kyaaa! Stupid! Stupid beast! How expensive is this?”
Anne screamed and grabbed her skirt, but Pooh didn’t seem to know why she was angry.
She tilted her head while biting on her half-torn skirt.
Chewy.
Oh, it’s more torn.
The ladies-in-waiting, who had been watching from a little distance, came running and chattered as they tried to get the skirt to spit out of their mouths.
But for some reason, Pooh grabbed a piece of her torn skirt and ran to Katrin.
Oh, it’s completely torn to pieces.
One side of the outer skirt was missing, revealing the round-bones petticoat that the skirt was covered with.
Anne’s underpants were visible through the round frame.
Anne, you were wearing something pretty.
‘Is it because of my fiancée?’
Maybe Anne went up a notch without her knowing?
Seeing that he hasn’t boasted yet, he may be on the verge of climbing the stairs.
In a moment of dazed silence, the other ladies-in-waiting chattered and wrapped a shawl around her waist to hide it from view.
Ignoring the fuss at all, Pooh suddenly showed his face to Katrin.
He held out the piece of skirt he had in his mouth to Katrin.
“…”
is it a gift
When Katrin didn’t answer, Pooh gave her a small shove with his big face.
Is it a real gift?
Or loot?
When I thought that, my heart felt somehow, how to say, inappropriate for the situation.
‘Maybe he took the side…’
You may have mistaken it for a fight.
Pwoo always chases Oscar out of the castle, but this time he was quietly next to Catherine.
It must be because of what Oscar said before leaving for the fortress city.
Take care of Katrin and the city, Pooh.
Oscar-sama had said that many times, so maybe that’s why Pooh tried to protect her.
Catherine herself wanted Pooh to pursue Oscar and help her, but the child did not disobey her master’s orders and remained here.
No matter how many times Catherine told her to go after Oscar, she didn’t listen.
I don’t know if he remembered Oscar’s order this time and sided with Catherine.
It was a totally crazy idea.
Katrin hugged Pooh’s thick neck.
Because Pooh’s height has grown, it seems that he is somehow hanging on.
Even the arms around his neck did not touch each other’s fingers.
Katrin said softly while hugging Pooh with a half-assed look.
“Thank you, Pouu. Pouu’s behavior was actually bad, but I will forgive him because I know it was for my sake. Let’s say I’m sorry to Anne later… I’m proud of you. Pooh will become such a great witch, okay?”
“Puuu?”
Pooh tilts his head.
Aww!
The wind loosened the arm that was hanging on the neck.
Bouu, you are so strong that even the wind blowing through your nose can blow people away. please take care of yourself!
Katrin fell back before she could even scream.
I caught a glimpse of Anne’s face changing color and running with her torn skirt.
But it’s late.
Fall down.
The moment I thought I was going to hit my head on the ground, a strange sensation covered my whole body.
Something soft was supporting her behind her back.
Seeing that the arm is turned forward and grabs the waist, it must be a female escort that is always nearby.
But I can’t see it everywhere.
His eyesight was filled with black figures.
It is Pooh’s body.

Damp saliva ran down her face and down her hair and forehead.
“Puu…”
Pooh was grabbing her hair.
Maybe he was trying to help because he fell.
That’s why I’m going to bite my hair.
I didn’t mean to break my hair on purpose.
It’s simply because his mouth is so big that his head went halfway into it, but it’s not like he did it on purpose.
When she turned her head, Anne’s face, which had been bluish, had turned white this time.
for laughing too much
No, then I will die.
“Miss… I’m sorry… but that hair… that hair…”
Put, Anne grabbed her stomach and started laughing.
The other maids did the same.
Everyone tried to hold it in, but they couldn’t completely hide the leaking laughter.
ha.
At least you should consider it fortunate that the whole head did not go into your mouth.
A day that seemed to end well turned into a mess.
Katrin turned around with her head down.
I have to change my clothes and do my hair again.
“Poo!”
Pooh, crying loudly, followed her triumphantly for some reason.
Because it’s not good!
When I glanced at it, Pooh cried loudly again as if he was happy.
‘I can’t understand the language.’
I seem to be able to understand, but sometimes it’s strange.
A small sigh came out.
***[Chief of Silvermoon]***
The wind blew past the thick fur coat.
Branches with fallen leaves sway in the wind high in the air.
As the wind passed through the branches, what sounded like ghostly cries spread ominously through the forest.
About a thousand warriors rode silently.
Only the sound of horses’ hooves shook the air in the forest.
The wind that shakes the tree branches is fierce, but winter in the kingdom is warmer than grassland.
Even if the same wind blows, there is a difference in the cold air.
‘If only we, the steppe tribes, could live in such a blessed land.’
I suddenly had such a thought, but the Silvermoon Chief quickly brushed it off.
Steppe tribes cannot live apart from the steppes.
It’s not just a way of life.
Our minds wanted it.
From nob le mt l dot com
Deep in my heart, I want and love the desolate and harsh environment of the grassland.
If we leave the meadow, our hearts will soon lose their place and become desolate.
However, grasslands are difficult to live in even for us who are accustomed to the land.
Summer was hot and winter was cold enough to freeze the flesh.
Many children are born, but many die young due to the harsh environment.
The same goes for women.
Many women died giving birth to children.
That’s why women don’t miss anything other than food when plundering.
Warriors are a minority among children born.
As circumstances permit, he must have as many women as possible to bear children.
Women and children are the future of the tribe.
How can I forgive those who kidnapped such a precious woman?
Suddenly recalling the faces of the Red Hawk Warriors, the Chief of the Silver Moon distorted his expression.
I can’t understand those who would betray the meadow because of the child of the moon.
No, you shouldn’t understand.
They are enemies of the grasslands.
You must kill them all.
The exit to the forest began to appear in the distance.
The Silvermoon Chief blew a short whistle.
The warriors further increased the speed of their horses.
As soon as I got out of the forest, the castle wall came into view.
As the warrior in charge of reconnaissance said, the forest was close to the backwaters of the fortress wall.
The steppe tribes all escaped the forest, but the soldiers standing on the wall did not notice them yet.
Accelerate your horse as much as possible and run as fast as you can.
At that time, some of the soldiers found this way.
But at first, I don’t think I knew exactly what I was seeing.
Perhaps even the news of steppe tribes invading the kingdom didn’t arrive properly.
The Silvermoon chief drew some arrows and held them between his fingers.
Put one in the bow, pull it, and immediately follow it, then reload the arrow.
The arrow flew straight towards the soldier on the wall and stuck.
Other warriors started shooting arrows as they continued to draw their bows.
Hey, hey, hey!
When the warriors started shouting loudly, it seemed that they realized that they were steppes.
On top of the wall, the soldiers started running around.
It seems that someone shouted to close the castle gate.
I don’t know exactly because I can’t understand the language of the kingdom, but that was the atmosphere.
But it was too late.
The soldiers of the kingdom who were running around were instantly hit by the arrows shot by the warriors and fell, and the Silver Moon Chief jumped into the gate.
It was an instant after that.
Some of the kingdom’s soldiers bravely attacked us, but most of them were busy running away in a panic.
“Kill all the men! They kidnapped our women and insulted them. Don’t let even one of them live!”
The steppe tribes began to swing their axes with a roaring sound.
The Silvermoon Chief ran towards the inside.
First, it failed in one place.
The town close to the border was very small and shabby, but it had a lattice iron gate, and as soon as steppe tribes appeared in the distance, they lowered the iron gate.
No matter how strong the arrows of the steppe tribes are, they cannot break the iron gate.
There were other ways to spend the time, but the city was so small and shabby that there seemed to be little to loot.
He eventually gave up and left the city, but it served as a great lesson.
We can’t give them time to close the gates.
In order not to have time for that, you have to act stealthily, like when a pack of wolves raid a human village.
Fortunately, I found a kingdom map in the next city.
I don’t know the language of the kingdom, but the map is clearly visible to anyone’s eye.
This is the result of choosing a path and crossing the forest accordingly.
coo coo coo.
A smile broke out involuntarily.
The maps he found seemed to be only sketchy, but a more detailed map might be available.
That will make things easier in the future.
Just before the Silvermoon chief entered the lord’s house, he heard the shouts of warriors in the distance.
It seems that the main unit has arrived.
However, the castle was already a mess, and the warriors were killing all men, children and adults alike.
The situation is almost over.
There will be nothing to do when the other warriors arrive.
only a thousand people.
This castle fell to warriors less than one Silvermoon tribe.
Perhaps there was no need to unite all the tribes and invade the kingdom.
‘Maybe the silver moon was enough.’
they are weak
It made me feel unfair that these guys had the moon child.
In the Silver Moon, there are many tribes who don’t believe in the legend, but still believe in the child of the moon.
If the child of the moon had been in the silver moon tribe, the steppe people would have prospered beyond comparison.
Chase the guys who run away while riding horses inside the building.
As I sliced their heads one by one with an axe, my blood started to boil.
It seems to be a beast.
The Chieftain of the Silvermoon let out a sound like a beast cry and grabbed a man’s head with his bare hands and broke it.
