The Prince and the Saint and the Wardrobe (5)
Sir Erbe had his head bowed with a gloomy face.
“what······.”
His voice was hoarse and his fingertips trembled.
I closed my eyes tightly, trying to catch my breath.
Then I felt as if the color of the world had completely changed.
He heard someone sobbing from the other side, and a storm-like ominous savage swept through the room with his flare.
Everything was instant. The momentary peace collapsed like a sand castle.
Joy turned into sadness, hope turned into despair.
It was a cliché, but there was no other word to describe our situation.
Now, the only emotions that engulfed the waiting room were shock and fear.
‘Emergency.’
– Hurry up!
“My lord.”
“I will cancel all my plans for today. Please, Benjamin. Please contact Eva as well. And I must see Master immediately. Could you lead me to the Imperial Palace?”
“······All right. Canael, call your servants.”
The middle-aged man was calm and cool instead of the shaking me.
Canael, who became pale, hurriedly left the reception room.
I hugged the hardened Herrit tightly and sent it to Sant.
The child immediately grabbed the teacher’s neck and buried his forehead.
I made sure that the two of them were heading to the next room, lowered the red pandas on the floor, and put their courage on their shoulders.
At times like this, I should be calm, but I keep sweating and my limbs don’t listen.
After clenching and opening his fists several times, he returned Berenice to the duke’s residence.
The princess’s entire face was wet with tears.
I couldn’t say a word to her that she’d be okay, so I broke out and only smiled.
Joan’s eyes were moving with a puzzled expression.
I spoke up after a while.
“that······. there.”
The pale pink eyes that met him looked painful. I constantly pushed myself.
Think about it, Jesse Jung. Don’t fuss and think about it.
“Sir Erbe.”
Kristel and the Crown Prince are the protagonists of ＜I Resigned and a Princess from Another World>.
No matter how much the world line deviates from the original, the importance of the two men and women does not fade.
never.
“Yes, Prince.”
It’s not like they’re going to fall apart. The two are like lighthouses here.
“Your Majesty… Are you judging that your son and Sir Christel were killed?”
my friends are strong
“That is.”
The guardsman paused for a moment and touched his forehead. He also seemed difficult to control his facial expressions.
The man spoke in a low voice.
“According to Elizabeth’s testimony, who returned from the scene, immediately after Her Majesty’s Majesty the Crown Prince used the magic sword using the magic sword of Mars…. It is said that the heavens and earth were dyed white with a flash of light. To be precise, carriage-sized meteorites fell from the night sky and devastated the Statia Plain. It took at least thirty minutes for sight to be restored, and from that time on, the supreme magistrate and his companions have not been found. Shin Guk seems to be in a similar situation.”
“then······.”
“Yes. There are no corpses or similar traces. So, your Majesty, as always, will be considering the many possibilities. You are a strong person.”
“Yes, it is. Yes······.”
I muttered out of my mind.
Meanwhile, my mind started wandering around like a broken navigation system.
Joan sat down on the carpet floor with a dry face.
Another possibility would be distress. But on that wide battlefield, where is the place to go—
“They said there were only weapons left where they were.”
what······? I closed my eyes and looked at Sir Erbe. He nodded hard.
“You are right, Prince. Your Majesty does not currently have a sword.”
When I heard that, my mouth was wide open. My stomach was churning and my eyes felt like they were going to fall out.

The next day, September 14, was Master’s birthday.

Overnight, the imperial palace was completely turned upside down.
Since this place is like this, the ecliptic must be a melting pot of chaos by now.
Thousands of people were involved in the forward search alone, so it wasn’t the kind of rumor that could be stopped.
It was only today that I deeply realized how important the great nobles who do not go to the battlefield and concentrate on domestic order are playing.
I sprained my ankle three times because I was walking too fast to the restaurant.
Even though I only slept for a couple of hours, I didn’t feel tired because my whole body was tense.
Wherever their eyes met, three or three people gathered and beat their chests.
My cheeks were wrinkled with tears.
“How, how could this happen…”
“No, maybe the Crown Prince and Sir Langbuye were wrong! Will those who have received the power of the Lord go away so easily? yes?”
“Yeah, maybe you fell into a cliff or a river somewhere! So you lost your way back. I trust you two will be strong.”
“I’d rather be like that, ah…”
“The Crown Princess of the New Kingdom and the Grand Duke are also gone! That’s a cardinal! Obviously there is something.”
“Isn’t it a Penetian kidnapping?”
“Oh my God, it might be…!”
Tock, tock, tock! I quickly passed them and greeted them.
Surprised servants bowed and bowed their heads. The luncheon was right in front of us.
Even so, the birthday celebration, which was supposed to be held on a small scale, has now been turned into a kind of social gathering where only His Majesty Aurelie and his close aides are present.
When the nobles who stayed in the court returned to their home, the palace was empty.
Because it was an exhibition, no major events were planned, but all ceremonies including audiences of nobles were canceled.
Yesterday, I couldn’t finally see Master.
Because he had so much to discuss with the great nobles all day.
There was a lot of political affairs to take care of, and he had to do everything he could to prevent the deterioration of domestic public opinion.
I’m still far from getting to the front of state affairs. I didn’t even know if it was okay.
But today will be different.
“Welcome, Prince Jesse. I will take you inside.”
“Thank you, Natalie.”
It was a place I had been to before.
Click on it, take advantage of it… As the palace attendants opened the large door, the elegant decorations inside and familiar faces caught my eye.
I blinked at Benjamin and Canael and went straight inside.
The familiar warmth of beige greeted me.
Master was holding up well. a million luckily.
“majesty.”
“Our Jesse. You are here to help your friends.”
“And also Master.”
When I answered that, a benevolent smile returned. For a few days, I was hurt by my skinny cheeks.
The hand that was stroking his hair was not as strong as usual.
I couldn’t see any tear marks, but I knew very well that it was only on the surface.
Master was squeezing out all of his strength right now.
I raised the corners of my mouth and handed the present.
– crumble
“Happy birthday from my heart.”
It was strictly forbidden to offer luxuries during the war, but even if it wasn’t, there was something I could offer.
“Oh my, it’s a bouquet of roses. thank you.”
“yes. Handpicked with the gardeners at dawn. They grow up in pots with magic tools, so they say they are healthy even in winter. This is a mist flower… Where I was born, this guy is a regular in bouquets. I don’t see it here often, so I ordered it separately.”
“It’s so fresh and beautiful…. Is it because you gave it to me? The mist flower goes very well with it.”
‘It will be popular in the Zodiac soon.’ The eyes under the monocle were curved with pure willingness.
I was happy that it seemed to make you forget your troubles for a while.
I carefully handed over the box in the other hand.
It looks sloppy because of the direct packaging, but the ribbon was woven properly.
“This is chocolate. I made it with Lawrence’s help for a few days. I took out a lot of ugly things…”
“Oh my gosh.”
“I heard a letter inside.”
No matter how bad the situation, I wanted to take care of the happiness this person deserves.

Of course, I know there is very little I can do.
But I didn’t want to spend the day sad and frustrated.
I wanted to present at least one good memory for a loved one on their birthday.
At least my family does.
“… it’s so special and special that I can’t describe it in words. I will save it.”
Master hugged me with a dazzling face.
I looked over her shoulder as I kissed her tenderly.
François, Herbet, Sant and Sir John were standing in front of a large round table, eating croquettes.
Everyone gave me a welcoming smile.
I wondered what the sandwich was for on my birthday, so I looked again, and it wasn’t food and beverages that occupied the middle of the table, but the whole continent.
Sir Sarah Beliard and Sir Michel Mutte were also present, and the Viscount Marize Rambouille.
·······But who is that over there?
“This is Duke Bonheur Diop. She is the granddaughter of His Majesty, Emperor Romero, and the mother of Princess Diop, who disappeared this time.”
“ah.”
“I see a man called the Moon of the Empire. Please take good care of me, my lord.”
The middle-aged man with all his hair rolled up like a roll cake bowed down to me in a very elegant posture.
He had the impression of a strict supervisor.
‘I would like to thank you, Duke.’ I hurriedly greeted the folder and understood the situation.
So this is definitely not a place to celebrate your birthday…
“We are discussing measures here.”
I muttered blankly. Master gently rolled his eyes.
“yes. My companion and granddaughter need help. Even the boy’s partner.”
“yes.”
“So we won’t give up. Like I never gave up on you.”
A soft yet firm voice returned. I looked back at her slowly.
Then came a sincere laugh.

Christel’s favorite horse, ‘Doria’, was very brave and courageous. Indeed, the northerners were different.
– Tackle, cackle, cackle . . .
Even though my vision was all hazy and blurry, it was just the way the owner said we should go and went out on the road again.
This was a misty field, a misty forest, and a misty paradise that could not be discerned even 50m ahead.
Even the sky was dark and it was difficult to tell if it was dawn or early evening.
The sun, moon, and stars were nowhere to be seen.
There was no watch or phone, so it was difficult to guess the passage of time.
There were only a few things that Cain knew for sure. first,
1. The world became white because the prince honed his magic.
2. When I woke up, I was here.
3. Extensive wild grasslands and hills, exotic trees and abandoned huts… Korea is absolutely not. I thought it was Gangwon-do for about an hour, but it wasn’t.
4. A strange ether is felt everywhere. It’s not a paladin, it’s completely different from Prince Jesse’s. It’s not like Sant or Eva, though.
5. Do you think this is in distress?
It’s been two days since I’ve been here. maybe four days?
Ga-in did not continue his reasoning, but cleared his neck a lot.
It was because of the sudden new operation that crossed my mind.
It was one of her specialties to immediately put into practice what she came up with.
“························································· well with the fog! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa?”
– Purleung!
At the return of the vocals given by Ju-Jin, Charlemagne, who was walking side by side, was greatly shaken.
The body on the black horse’s back also began to wriggle in annoyance.
Either way, Cain went his own way.
Whether it be a beast or a human, if there is anything, I will surely make you come here.
“Hey on the cart! get drunk beetle? Replying to @Alexis ha! hey hey hey?”
“Were the vocal cords hit by the cart?”
Finally, the man uttered a word.
Ga-in, who was playing on the transparent keyboard with her finger, looked back at him with a frown.
Cedric Lister slowly got up and grabbed the reins.
He finally came to his senses, and unfortunately he was fine.
She looked a little tired, but that wasn’t for her.
It would be cute if she turned into a little kid, but when she’s as big as a bear, she eats ether as a muscle, so it’s heavy and terribly heavy…
“Where are you?”
“I know you’re going to ask that, and I’m curious too, so I’ve been running around diligently, but there’s no clue. By the way, if I hadn’t taken care of it, I may have left the world a few hours ago. It’s pretty chilly in this town. Do not underestimate hypothermia.”
“There he is. proviso.”
The man immediately chinked and shot at him.
After Ga-in sent a glance, ‘Don’t fight for nothing’, just in case, she rolled her eyes and looked down.
“······uh? what.”
Ugh, is there something you haven’t really seen?
“Doria, will you take three steps back?”
-Multiple, multifaceted…
The clever words took exactly three steps back.
Then a wooden sign appeared.
Even before being trampled on by a horse’s hoof, it must have been in poor condition, half buried in the ground and the other half rotting badly.
Kristel hurriedly got off her horse and pulled out the stake without hesitation. ‘Soo-wook!’
“But, mang……. a.”
‘Tak Tak!’ After brushing off the roots of the soil and grass that had adhered to it for many years, it was only then that I saw the letters engraved with a knife.
‘The village of Maankrans.’
“That’s right. This must have been the entrance to the village in the past.”
The Water Paladin shrugged and said. The prince fell into silence.
It was a name I had never heard of, and from the spelling it was the territory of the New Penetian Empire.
But what if…
“Were there portals on the battlefield?”
“no. If we did, we’d both detect subsurface mana. I haven’t heard the magic work.”
That was correct. Moreover, Shinguk had a strong tendency to despise the field of magic from generation to generation.
There were probably not many advanced people to study magic formulas.
In the meantime, knowing who will rise, the friend or the enemy, hides the portal in the middle of the field—
“uh? Who is there!”
At that moment, Kristel made a loud noise and pointed forward.
Suddenly, the orange eyes became sharp.
-aaa
Amidst the curtain-like fog and corpse-like trees dividing the world in black and white, a magic light stood tall alone.
It suddenly appeared, and its existence itself felt very suspicious and bizarre.
The golden light resembling ether was spreading as if it were a lighthouse itself. And below that…
“Oh, my Majesty’s Majesty! How did you get here? That’s great! Is the person next to you your lover?”
I saw a trafficker waving handcuffed wrists.
Cedric let out a pessimistic sigh.
