Oh my gosh.
“Sir Sarnez, you should go to your house.”
Looking at us in confusion, Sir John said calmly.
Baron and Baron Verand and Elodie were also greatly surprised.
It was news that didn’t even show any signs of it.
The last time I saw Duke Simon de Sarnez was during the Andrégée trial at the Imperial Palace, and he was obviously fine.
It was sad and worrying.
“Yeah, that’s probably it…”
Christel said in a bewildered voice.
It was strange to see her shaking so much, but it was understandable.
Despite their awkward relationship with each other, the Duke was a very important person in her ‘second life’.
He was the father of Bing’s ex-Kristel, and the husband of his stepmother, Isabelle, whom she cherished.
It was natural to be anxious and afraid.
“Nanny, how did you become like that? I heard that you are doing well in Yeongjuseong. Are you hurt?”
Christel asked hurriedly.
“No, the flu…. You’ve been so overworked these days. Then you got the flu, black. His condition suddenly deteriorated… He said that he refused even to inform His Majesty. What do you mean you are locked up in the castle and only receive treatment from your doctor? The one who can even see His Majesty the Cardinal!”
The nanny exclaimed, wiping her eyes with a handkerchief. It was a trembling voice all the time.
Kristel held her hand tightly.
Suddenly, I remembered the words of the baron’s chief servant, which I had heard yesterday.
‘The news is that the flu is spreading throughout the empire from the ecliptic and the west.’
And Sarnez was a manor located in the western part of the empire.
“My wife waited at the mansion to go with Ai, and eventually left for Yeongjuseong by the time I left. You can go to your father right away with me.”
Then Christel turned to us.
The baron had the attendant following him to bring Christel’s luggage.
Me and her eyes were entangled.
“Shall I go too?”
It must be difficult, but maybe someone needs to be by your side.
“no. Orphanage opening ceremony… I know it means a lot to you. The prince’s existence is important to them too.”
The protagonist whispered. Blue eyes were serious.

On the night of March when I was attacked at the Juliet Palace, she awoke from her sick bed.
In short, the first assassination attempt occurred before Ga-in and I met.
So I got it intuitively.
Christel was now trying to respect the relationship she did not know.
It was the feeling of debt I had for the barons and the desire to comfort them.
even in this situation.
“Kristel.”
“I have a mother and a nanny, so it’s okay. Teacher, please take good care of the prince.”
Christel asked Sir John. Mint-colored eyes sank heavily.
“Do not worry.”
– quiver
– beep
Demi and perseverance were also added. The situation was settled quickly.
The running men hurriedly loaded her luggage, and I gave the duke’s horses Tite’s water.
Soon after, Kristel and the nanny bowed their heads and boarded.
The two of them looked stiff and tense.
“After the opening ceremony, we will go to Sarnez right away. If you let it go, I will allow it.”
I grabbed the doorknob and whispered quickly. The baroness added.
“Sir Sarnez, I pray for your father’s recovery. Thank you so much for coming to such a distant and shabby place.”
“……I am very grateful. See you again, Prince.”
widely! The door is closed. Our view was instantly blocked.
Without hesitation, the wagon raced northward.

I thought about whether to let Kristel go and go in, but it seemed that it would be difficult to rest comfortably because I was upset.
I also wanted to give Benjamin and Canael a break while resting in Yeongjuseong.
So we started walking towards the canal again.
The baron’s family and his attendant took the lead, and Sir John and I and Aemuldanji were about ten steps behind.
The night air was clear and cool.
“There are rumors that the Marquis Duhem is also sick.”
“is that so? It’s surprising.”
Sir John bowed his head at my words. But his eyes were as calm as ever.
Tite, who was carried by him with a swaddling cloth, was watching the stars.
“yes. I hope you all get well soon.”
“Your Majesty wants it, so it will be.”
It was an immediate answer. It was embarrassing, but strangely comforting. I laugh out loud,
“Prince, this is it.”
Baron Fabrice Verand said from the front. We looked at each other at the same time.
The place he was pointing to was dark and overgrown with no magic lights.
I looked carefully, but there was no such thing as a trail leading to the canal.
I tilted my head. Demi and Dungshim also leaned on their torso.
“Unfortunately, there is no way. but······. You will see why.”
Baroness Anne Verand explained quietly.
I nodded calmly, sharing my gaze with Sir John.
They’re never award-winning or bad guys.
Above all, I was an archbishop-level priest, and I had a cardinal-level paladin by my side, so it was okay.
– crumble, crumble
So we began to scramble barefoot among the lush shrubs and vines.
Demi tried to clear the way, but Elodie carefully stopped him.
‘There’s a reason it’s difficult to access. Please understand…’ His freckled nose twitched.
As if there was a secret situation, he gently shook his head.
As the baron’s party moved and held their breath, we were forced to hold our breath at the same time.
– Boss Rock, Boss Rock
“·················ogue.”
– Fast!
Before long, the leading baron stopped moving. Everyone bowed at his beckoning.
The grass was very short. Even if I didn’t listen, I could clearly hear the sound of the river flowing.
I glanced out and saw a canal shining bluish in the moonlight.
However, the water path was narrower than expected. It was just wide enough for two boats to pass through.

On the other side, densely planted reeds were dancing.
“Now I will wait here.”
“Wait?”
“Yes, my prince. It may not come, but… It has been steady since ‘Sky in the Sky’, so there will definitely be customers today.”
Guest? I blinked at the Baron’s explanation.
Leaving us in doubt, the baron and party pulled out blankets from their arms.
Then he handed us one by one.
It wasn’t thick, but they were tightly woven items.
I don’t know what it is, but I want to wait a long time, so I wrapped Demi and Dungshim in a blanket.
Sir John looked at me with a puzzled expression on his face and held out his share of the blanket.
“No, I am fine. It’s warm when you hold the kids.”
“Your Majesty suffers from the cold a lot. I can’t stand it.”
– Saa!
Simultaneously with his answer, the room became as quiet as a closed room. Elodie opened her mouth in surprise.
The baron and his servants looked at this side with their eyes wide open.
It was the result of Sir John blocking all the wind and noise around him.
“Wouldn’t it be possible to wait comfortably like this?”
The drooping corners of his eyes curled gently.
The little baron, who was blankly looking at the paladin, nodded his head in a hurry.
For a while, we drank our throats with the hot water Tite had made, and sat around chatting.
The red panda and the wren fell asleep hard because of the increased ambient temperature.
I don’t have a watch, so I’m not sure, but it felt like an hour had passed.
It was around the time that Canael and Benjamin thought they were going to get bored.
“Baron, I see a light over there.”
The servant hurriedly pointed to the other side of the waterway. Everyone raised their eyes.
“·······Well, you are a guest. honey?”
“Yes, I am ready. Elodie?”
“Me too.”
At once, the three families became bustling.
It was a customer coming to the ship with a light, so I was curious about the circumstances before and after.
I straightened my neck and looked upstream.
– creak, squeak
“ah······.”
A small human being was riding in the boat that was swaying to and fro.
Relying on the ship by a single, dangerous lamp that was about to go out.
“The sound is disturbing. Is the water leaking?”
“No, the children are calm. I think it’s because the ship is old.”
The woman answered the baron’s question calmly. I woke up with the kids in my arms.
Sir John blocked me in one corner with his strong arm.
“Sir John, you have children.”
“Let them save you. I respect your Sacred Heart, but I cannot send you to a dangerous place.”
The eyes that met him were cold.
I fully understood his position, so I had no choice but to stand with my lip biting in the end.
Meanwhile, the baron’s party moved in unison.
The wife took a red pocket out of her coat pocket, and the baron and servant waited for the boat to arrive, each holding a pole hidden nearby.
Elodie rolled up the blankets around everyone’s shoulders.
I took off the blanket and the new country-style gown I was wearing.
Sir John sighed and put his coat over my shoulders. this isn’t it
– Dumpling!
Then, there was the sound of wood hitting. All eyes turned to the water.
“It’s ok, keep going.”
“Yes.”
The two men began to slowly drag the boat hanging on the hook at the end of the pole to shore.
As the lights drew closer, the faces of the passengers were clearly visible.
Two sleazy children who wished they were thirteen years old…
“Oh my God. I have a baby. Elodie!”
“Yes, Father!”
Elodie took her mother’s pocket and ran.
When the baron and his attendant disembarked the staggering children, the baron immediately wrapped them in blankets and overcoats.
A cloth warmed by human body temperature and a bag of high-quality magic stones that generate heat. and······.
Children in costumes rarely seen in the Empire.
“They are the poor of the new country. From far away, risking my life to get on a boat…”
The woman looked at us carefully and said.
I was stunned and took her sentence into memory.
A voice I heard just a few days ago rang in my ears.
‘We want to show the prince what we are doing.’
“Thanks to the prince, we were able to build canals and turn rough waterways to increase their survival rate. So I wanted to show you.”
“·················ogue.”
“Thank you for the grace.”
she bent over Without further ado, I set the most polite example.
with all my heart

The morning of December 19 was refreshing.
Aurelie Boutier stepped out of the imperial carriage with a light gait.
No one knew yet that she had come to Juliet Palace.
Numerous servants aided him, but he didn’t tell Frederic, so it was as if no one had ever seen him.
“What about Cedric?”
“I heard that you were released early.”
“You are young.”
To the servant Natalie’s report, she responded as if singing. Those who followed laughed lowly.
The Crown Prince returned late last night in Baron Berang.
I was told not to come to say hello because I would be tired from riding the carriage all day, but I stopped at the Imperial Palace to say hello.
As if they had had a good time, his handsome face shone more than usual.
Fatigue didn’t even show a shadow.
Then he woke up like dawn today, and it seemed like he was preparing for the opening ceremony of the Hwangdo garrison academy.
He was a wonderful and lovely person.
“I must try too. If you want to definitely win the heart of our prince.”
“You are already deeply respected, Your Majesty.”
“yes.”
But I don’t want him to go back. Naturally, she swallowed the back words.
Natalie was holding a large, long wooden box.
It was a gift from Aurelie, who was going to leave it secretly in the prince’s room.
Since I was promoted to Archbishop, I haven’t been able to create a proper celebration, so I wanted to deliver the blessing even if it’s late.
He’s not a bribe child, but isn’t he the same as a child who ignores sincerity?
– touk
Then, someone from Juliet came out with a large bag of bread.
Beige eyes widened.
“Oh, there was a sailor.”
“······majesty.”
The cheeks of the first guest, Modest Bakari, were hot.
His eyes alternated between the bag of bread and the cardinal in his arms, shaking wildly.
Aurelie then realized that the Prophet looked his age.
Bakari shook her head.
“I see you, High Honored Cardinal. This is just something I was forced to receive from a servant here.”
“so? I thought it was outside food. You are very popular, Bakari-kun.”
The opponent’s face has now turned red like a tomato.
The courtiers of the Imperial Palace burst into laughter at the vicious attitude of the superior.
Aurelie raised the corners of her lips and continued.
“What has happened to the late Fleur de Lis until then…”
The middle-aged man’s face hardened in an instant.
“Ahhh.”
The prophet’s condition was not serious.
clattering! Bread spilled and the youth’s body rolled on the floor.
Blood was standing on his red throat and forehead, and blood flowed from his nose.
The cardinal hurriedly approached him and hugged his head.
Then I was startled. I was horrified to see it for the first time in my life.
“The whites are…….”
A blue-silver vortex was swirling in the center of the Prophet’s blackened eyes.
