Golden Ring (錦還), Japanese Eclipse (11)
His first and last runaway was 7 years ago.
-Whew-!
‘Run away! Everyone run to the field!’
‘Ahhh!’
A small rural village quickly turned into a chaos.
‘Kwaga River!’ The old, old roof was blown away and broken in a gust of wind.
The stable collapsed in the sea of wind, and the terrified demon roared.
The villagers were scratched all over their bodies by sharp gravel and bled from firewood that rolled around like fallen leaves.
But all of them were busy embracing and protecting their neighbours.
Not a single one thought of himself first.
‘From the children! Take care of children and the elderly first!’
‘Herit! Where’s Herit!’
‘We got it! Go fast!’
‘hurry! John is about to go crazy! Hurry!’
-Sweet love liquid…!
Ripped voices shouted from all directions.
The wagon without wheels and the well pulley creaked ominously.
People fell, bumped into each other, and shed tears while looking behind them.
A woman cried out with a wet face.
‘How do you leave? How can we go alone!’
‘We can’t help, Neilie! John is a paladin!’
‘Yosefina is lying over there! My friend is over there!’
‘I know, I know!’
Neilie was on the verge of losing consciousness.
Reluctantly, the husband started running out of town, carrying her around.
His cheeks were also red and wet.
‘aaah! Josephina!’ A woman who had lost a close friend like a sister wrote evil as if she could vomit out her heart.
But nothing changed.
In the village, there were not even a professional legislator, let alone a humble priest.
So it was virtually impossible to stabilize John.
Now he had to avoid it to save his life.
-Whewyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy…!
– Rumble! Kwaga River!
‘Wow!’
Dark clouds covered the whole sky, and thunder was terrifying.
The cries of the children and the fear of the villagers were far away from their ears.
The area around where John was standing was all red.

On the traces of his wife Josephina, new blood was pouring and pouring.
It was someone else’s blood.
‘Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah…’
The knight who carried her body was crawling away from John.
However, his lower thigh was cut and he couldn’t speed as much as he wanted.
His driving force was not traumatic pain or a desire to survive.

Only primal fear reigned red in his head.
scary. The author is so terrifying that I get goosebumps.
-Job
‘Uhhh!’
At the sound of the man’s footsteps, red vomit spurted out of his mouth.
The soldiers who had already died were lying around him, crawling miserable on the dirt floor, without even closing their eyes.
The piles of corpses piled up like luggage were just horrendous.
The worm-like end of the subordinates who had never drawn their swords once.
The knight shook his chin and turned his head.

On the other side, the body of a woman, roughly wrapped in straw, was seen. ‘Tuk, tuk-tuk, tuk-‘
Mercenary, Josephina Haynes.
-Shoot!
Soon it started to rain. He hurriedly dragged his upper body and headed for the carriage.
His palms were covered with scars, and shards of broken glass were pierced, but he didn’t care.
There was a foul smell of alcohol and a corpse in the luggage compartment that carried the lord’s Jenever every day.
Seeing the frightened horses rolling their front paws, I burst into anger.
He was angry and bitter, and saliva and tears were splashing all over the place.
Pools of blood overflowing with rainwater spread throughout the village.
It was obviously a monster in human disguise.
‘I’m blown away just by being carried here! If it had been someone else, I would have thrown it into the Winite River!’
When Josefina’s body arrived in the village, flies were boiling.
‘My lord, The Lord trusted your wife and entrusted you with a great job! Bae Eun-mang-duk is also an oily resin! I was happy to accept it too! He said that he would get a lot of money and he was very stingy!’
Rain water wet John’s chin. The knight poured out his words like crazy.
‘Who told you to pretend to be competent? If my husband makes all the accusations that he’s an ordained paladin, I can’t deal with 50 people alone!’
She left the house knowing there were five.
‘What kind of mercenary can not kill 50 knights,’
– Whoop! Whoops!
‘aaah-!’ A horrific scream and the noise of slaughter colored the whole village red.
It also pierced the ears of the residents who pierced the rain, pierced the wind, and made fun of their feet.
The old man holding the fainted Herit sobbed with breath. The children who were tired of blue were sobbing, unable to cry to their heart’s content anymore.
John’s white shirt had long since lost its original color.
‘Woo… ‘aaah!’ The wind ripped the air and swung the raindrops to and fro.
Neilie, who had been carried by her husband, looked back one last time.
Thinking that it was farewell to Josephina.
-Rulleung, Kwagwagwang!
[······· will not.]
And in shock, I covered my mouth.
Neither mana, nor ether, nor the poor, without any talent, could instinctively know.
Now John was about to do something no one dared to think of.
With pure white silk wind wrapped around his forearm, he aimed the translucent bow across the hill.
At the far end of the field of vision was an old lord’s castle.
‘Oh my God, John! no!’
‘You’re going to die! Please think of Herit!’ Neilie became contemplative and screamed.
My husband speeded up without looking back.
‘Woo-woo-woo-!’ I had the illusion that the light of the whole world was gathering at the paladin’s flesh.
The unraveled hair was already covered in blood. ‘Twowoong!’
– Awesome!
-Kwagwagwa-!
God’s huge arrows were shot out, scratching the ground, piercing the combs, and destroying the burning hut.
The sky and the earth suddenly turned white, and no one could see.
In the end, Johann Haynes’s thread of reason whispered to him.
‘You still have to live.’
‘For Herit.’
‘Now that’s the only meaning of your existence.’
‘Don’t mean anything to anyone else.’
And the memories of the years flashed before my eyes like a lantern. It was his future.
‘He knows how to use stigmata.’
Melted candles were burning in the shallows in the corner of the table.
‘I heard that a certain lord’s family in the new country is wanting you. He said he even went out to his blood relatives.’
‘Wandering can never be life.’
‘Is that the only way I can raise my children safely?’
It was the voice of General Representative Ronald Rupert.
‘Flapping, flapping!’ A faint sound of wings flapping could be heard from the other side of the unconscious. it was weird
The first place I met the old man was in a small and cozy underground tavern.
His guards were waiting outside the door, and this was not a place for living animals to enter and exit.
The two were dressed in black robes.
Unlike the commander-in-chief, whose everything was neat under the ebony, John had a thick beard and no light in his eyes.
‘Come to the papal court.’
[Sir John! Can you hear my voice?]
Someone shouted from behind his back.
It was a voice I had never heard before, but for some reason my heart was pounding and I was out of breath.
Johan frowned slightly and tried to look behind him. at that time-
‘The desert will be safer than the Penetian.’
‘Jikgrang.’ The commander-in-chief pulled out a large pocket on the table.
The knight immediately rolled his eyes and looked at it. I knew what it was without asking.
The stink of gold and junk.
But to him, it is more important than a boring life.
‘It’s a contract. I heard that you are the best among luxury.’
[········Han Kyung! please!]
what?
‘Tell me honestly. You will never become a cardinal.’
‘But if you work for the Holy See, I promise you a solid pay. I’ll also set you free from wanted.’
The conditions offered by the cardinal were excellent.
John looked at the old man with sharp eyes and stretched out his arms.
‘with a bang!’ Like a wild beast, the opponent did not blink an eye even with a hand grabbing the pocket.
I quickly checked the contents.
No, I was trying to—
– Crackle, bubble!
It was difficult to untie the straps as the pockets resisted violently.
John made a slight impression.
It was obvious what was inside, but when did it turn into such a soft, living being?
The commander-in-chief, who realized the situation late, extended his hand.
‘I must have made a mistake. I’ll give you a new one.’
‘I’m done.’
The man nodded coldly and unpacked his pockets. At the same time-
-Paaah…!
– Flap, Flap!
A dazzling light purple light engulfed the room, and large, warm wings wrapped around him.
It was then that I caught my breath. Only then did my vision brighten and the world came into my eyes.
The call, which seemed to be submerged in water, was also clearly audible.
[Sir John! That’s me!]
“み!”
Startle! The man stopped his bloody arms and raised his head.
Painful sweat dripped down his throat.
[Are you awake?! This is the Duchy of Blanquere! I almost would have run into a runaway!]
A brown haired master appeared in front of him.
He had a sad and desperate expression on his face as he endured in the midst of the strong wind.
Eva Blanquer, who had fainted, was held in her small arms…
– tok
A familiar forehead touched John’s forehead. He rolled his eyes and looked up.
Beneath a pair of slow-flying wings, the man’s only love was the mint-colored eyes.
“Heh heh.”
“·················ogue.”
It was a familiar and unfamiliar face.
The child wasn’t the four-year-old who lost his mother that day, nor the 10-year-old boy who parted ways with the prince he loved so much.
The paladin lost his mind and looked at his own blood.
Then Herit slowly moved her mouth.
So that my father, who always listens to me and smiles, can understand me clearly this time too.
‘It’s okay, Dad.’
‘Dad is not alone.’
‘I want to be with you.’
‘I love you.’
“ah······.”
Tears flowed. John embraced his grown son.
‘aaa… The gale gradually subsided and the shade of the old trees began to brighten.
The priest’s friendly smile flew through the forest like a butterfly.
Fresh air burst out of the old lungs.
*
The interior of the Penetian New Kingdom.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa…. Hmm.”
Elisha, who had stopped crying, got up from the bed in a modest posture.
This was one of her secret routines that lasted several months.
After dinner, he cries out loud, mourns for Jesse who has left, and remembers his mother and younger brother to make up his mind.
Wash your face with ice water so that your eyes don’t swell.
He writes a letter to his father and Cornelisser, and secretly encloses a letter to Martier.
Thanks to the words delivered to the vassal of Wangseong, the communication channel with the mother was safely secured.
‘Shouldn’t you take a look at the chief of staff as well?’
‘It is true that he has served His Majesty for the past fifty years, but he must not be vigilant.’
It was thanks to ‘not believing’ what Janine had left.
Recently, the Royal Encyclopedia of Roseharder also secretly exchanged messages.
Cornelisser still believed that Jesse had been killed by the maze’s guardian spirit.
When the desert front was retreating, my father followed my aunt’s advice and returned to the royal castle.
In the meantime, Elissa replaced all of the close attendants and escorts with commoners.
The Royal Guard in charge of her protocol was greatly embarrassed, but the Crown Princess stood up for my will.
‘As much as on the battlefield, I want to communicate with the people. Those at the bottom will suffer the most.’
No one dared to refute that statement.
From https://noblemtl.com
Of course, he was sincere, but Elisha had a double eye.
Wilhelmina Sneijder, who the Crown Princess watched, was a person with strict class consciousness.
Many of her Sioux tribes were mostly nobles (as Janine was) or, at worst, illegitimate children of noble families.
In short, the commoners were not in the hands of the duke.
The lower the status, the more unclear Wilhelmina was.
-with a splash! Fluttering, Fluttering…
It was a good thing for Elise.
Because status didn’t matter to her in giving her trust to others.
-Shoot!
“Earl Roy is a servant of Sneijder no matter how you look at it…”
She murmured as she lifted her face that had been immersed in the basin of ice water.
Clear, cold drops of water washed away her blonde hair.
Blue eyes like sapphire wandered through the air in search of opportunity.
“Archduke Judith Kamingha… If it were her, it might not make sense.”
There was a faint glimmer of hope. But there were enemies everywhere.
Commoner soldiers saw her crying secretly and wept together.
As the Duke said, even though they lacked learning, they were pure and good people ‘even if the blood was dirty’.
But except for a few of them, there were no nobles to open their hearts to.
Those who I thought were colleagues to be trusted turned out to be all close to my aunt.
The royal court encyclopedia and the chief of staff are reliable, but it was difficult for them to come here because they had to take care of the royal capital and the royal castle.
Moreover, Roséharder had few family close friends due to long years of isolating himself.
The chief servant was a historical figure from an ordinary count.
Because the priest was precious in the family, there was no blood relative to speak in this war.
“I heard that the Grand Duke was against the marriage between mother and father…”
Elisha muttered as she wiped her cheek with a towel. That has been over 30 years ago.
Since it was an incident that the Duke Sneijder family was displeased with, no one talked about it for a while.
But Elisha wanted to know more about him.
The Archduke was her blood relative, but he had only exchanged conversations two or three times so far.
Even on holidays or holidays, I had never seen his face.
The strong and wealthy Kamingha family said they had distanced themselves from the royal family after the war years.
And as Elither observed carefully, the Archduke and Wilhelmina were not very friendly.
There was a slight possibility.
“·················ogue.”
But making space was a problem.
The inland military base was no different from Duke Sneijder’s headquarters.
With her limbs monitoring her all day, how can she meet and have a deep conversation with the old man privately?
How to hide in the shadow of the moon—
-Kugugugung…!
– Awesome!
At that moment, there was a loud noise that echoed through the sky.
Elissa immediately grabbed the golden spear and ran out of the barracks.
At the same time, shouts of soldiers poured out from everywhere. They were all voices of excitement and fear.
“What is falling! What fell from the sky!”
“uh? This is not paper, is it?”
“Is it like an advertisement? Hey! Is that something different?”
“Uh uh… Oh My God! what’s this!”
The commotion quickly spread like wildfire.
It was only a matter of time before the entire military camp fell into chaos.
Elisha opened her eyes wide and looked at the white beam of light that crossed the Milky Way.
That was not a meteor. Neither the Imperial air raid nor the Swordmaster Emperor’s aura.
-Palang, palang, palang…
A leaflet fell at her feet.
‘Prince Jesse Penetian has risen!’
This was a cover for the Crown Princess.
