It looked like a frying pan had fallen on the top of the head.
My mind went blank. I had no mind at all.
“That, that…”
“It doesn’t make sense. But it seems real.”
A calm voice surrounded us. François Duheme was an outstanding magician.
He could be rational in any situation, given scientifically justifiable grounds.
But it wasn’t me, and it felt very different from what happened at His Majesty’s grave.

Of course, I thought it would be similar to that time, but the situation was much more frightening and serious than I had expected.
So, if we were to write and summarize the ki…
First of all, there was no difference in the age of the Chaum ruins inside and outside.
The burial mound and the spirit have endured the flow of the millennium together, and only the inner spacetime was distorted by the ether.
Yes, it was only a few days away from the outside.
Even that, after Hanan chose Isabelle as the incarnation, it returned to normal.
The red ghosts of the desert left the place with a smile, breaking from their old bondage.
But here, in the ruins we couldn’t control, there was no one we could negotiate with.
There were no bees, butterflies or dragonflies in this wide flower field.
The gods were restless and hovered around the feet of the group.
Sir Elizabeth and the Duke of Fabrice had an expression similar to mine.
“Sir John, can you feel it?”
“I’m sorry, my lord. Halo grass clusters significantly disturb the perception of the Paladin. Nothing can be detected nearby right now, but even if there is…”
“You can’t be sure.”
i was told The paladin tilted his head with regretful eyes.
The lieutenant colonel sting like a wasp at François.
“You mean the three of you went to the past, sir? Can you really tell?”
“Oh, my lord . . .”
The peacock closed his eyes and began to pray.
The Marquis looked down at the slate and answered calmly.
“In order to get an accurate result, you will have to use the mana dater from the Marquis. Takes time to experiment and analyze. But even here, a simple measurement can give an approximation.”
‘There won’t be a dramatic difference, Elizabeth.’ My heart seemed to sink at those words.
It seems that the pen that I took out a while ago was a magic tool.
I opened and closed my eyes tightly holding two sick things.
The hilt of the sword was hot, and the surface of the storage was as cold as ice.
Thanks to that, my vision seemed to clear up a bit.
Please hold on to your reason and focus, Jesse Jung. Don’t even dream of being shaken.
There’s no way we can break up like this
This can’t be our end.
“There must be a way.”
When I declared that, everyone’s eyes gathered on me. It is said that words have power.
We never give up on anyone. So you will be able to find both.
We will meet the main characters again with a normal appearance. Absolutely.
“I don’t think our theory is completely wrong. After seeing the slabs engraved with the names of the two men found, you must have pinpointed the location. It’s just the fact that Shin Guk Army doesn’t search this area. It’s about knowing what’s going on here. At least, the reasoning that Yulitter was sprinkled here seems certain. Her dead soul took advantage of the end of the year to work… For that to happen, there must be a great ether sleeping here.”
I said looking around the flower garden.
Beyond those who were diligently gathering haloweed, the soldiers digging the ground on the outskirts of the village caught my eye.
The friends were silent for a moment. Sir John’s white hair flew in the lotus wind.
“…you are expecting a situation similar to that at the time of the discovery of Haemophilus.”
“yes. No matter how good Yulitter was, it would be unreasonable to warp the time of close to a hundred years. There is no way she can do what His Majesty Hanan, who was called the strongest of the time, could not do.”
I expected distortion of at most a day or, if we were lucky, a few hours.
That would be too much for her, so I thought that she was constrained in many ways.
But what if the Romero era and this place draw parallel lines—
“··········The Great Captain! Commander of the neighborhood!”
At the same time, the soldiers from the other side shouted loudly.
Diversity, Diversity, Diversity! The knight Duot was running all over this way.
Sir Elizabeth looked at me with a hopeful expression.
His eyes were startled even when he gave up his name. I immediately nodded.

Other than that, there is no evidence to support our opinion.
“Oh my God, Madame!”
“There are ashes under the ground! Not one or two phrases!”
The voices of those with white flags were split apart. They all had pale, tired faces.

One of them, the woman at the forefront, ran in front of us and made a quick report.
“My lord! Most of the remains are in armor. Judging by the shape of the sergeant’s weapon buried together, it looks like a knight, not a general soldier. Expanding the excavation area will result in more numbers.”
François moaned long and rubbed his forehead.
I could barely stand the feeling of goosebumps all over my body.
The red pandas were clinging to their ankles and chattering.
Fabrice’s expression was not yet fully understood.
I quietly explained to him.
“········· These are the paladins of the new kingdom.”
“Yes?”
“Where the paladin is buried, haloweed grows. Sunflower grass grows where the priest is buried.”
“Oh my God.”
He was stunned and quickly covered his mouth.
He seemed to be shocked by the fact that the tomb was a beautiful flower garden like a picture.
There are black stone monuments all over the village, but it seems like a cemetery for ordinary residents.
The report did not end there.
“And the commander of the neighborhood guard, you must come in person. Something like purple oil from the remains… The body has turned into a white bone and is not in an environment where water will come out, but a liquid resembling a sap is flowing.”
“shit.”
Sir Elizabeth bit her lip and went straight to the horse.
At her request, François agreed to accompany her.
In the meantime, I sent a message to Marshal Caroline Mute and asked for a business trip by General Manager Modest Bakari.
While caring for the divine beasts who were whining with concern, he carefully scanned the information stored in his brain.
It seemed that the search would be long. But there was no time.
I had to finish everything by tomorrow night.
When the full moon came up, we had to be together.
“······please.”
– quiver

At the same time, Statia Plain. Penetian New Kingdom camp.
“If His Majesty the Prince was truly resurrected…”
“Oh, well. That assumption is wrong.”
“Still, just in case…”
“Then the first prince is now like a traitor…”
In the hearth barracks, all the commanders were gathered except for the two cardinals.
Behind them, dozens of their lieutenants lined up and exchanged nods.
The overall atmosphere was bloody and suffocating like a piece of thin ice.
It seemed as if someone would draw a sword or swing a mace at any moment.
“How long can you survive like this!”
– Kwaang!
Finally, an old man’s fist struck the table. The cowardly lieutenants were startled.
‘Aww!’ With her power, the glass of water and the kettle collapsed helplessly.
As if waiting, a tidal wave of haggling followed.
‘What rudeness is this, Viscount!’ ‘Then you look like you’re quiet now! Everyone, come to your senses!’ ‘Uh-huh, do you know that we’re out to the front to play and eat!’
The air surrounding the elders grew harsher as they went on.
At this point, someone was about to take off the glove and throw it.
The young nobles looked at each other and gave a glimpse of the top seats.
Wilhelmina Sneijder, who sat in the highest position, did not blink an eye.
The old man, who was voicing, hurriedly pointed at her.
“Duke, say something! When His Majesty Elissa and His Majesty the Archduke disappeared, leaflets were also scattered, and the morale of the soldiers was no joke. It is said that even the residents of this area are greatly shaken by the rumor that the Prince has been resurrected. How far can we go like this?”
“·················ogue.”
The peacock stared at her.
Jericho was a blood relative of an aristocratic priest who betrayed the new kingdom and fled to the empire long ago.
Because of the blood he received, he did not easily fall into Wilhelmina’s grasp, and if he could forget it, he acted so sensitively that he made people tired.
Nevertheless, there was only one reason Viscount Lavinia Valentin did not die in the last thirty years.
Is it because she is a lord who is loved by the people? not.
Because he’s the descendant of a war hero who is highly respected by the upper classes? neither is it
“We must find a way out! As the Archduke had promised, paying the soldiers a daily salary and repeating that propaganda is false is only a workaround. Everyone acknowledges the Duke’s efforts, but that means that it’s not enough. The damage was not significant in the last battle.”
“·················ogue.”
Wilhelmina’s eyes narrowed slightly.
The author’s land, which was corrected even after the age of eighty, bordered on the realm of Grand Duke Judith Kamingha.
In a nutshell, Valentin was at the forefront of stopping the ill will of the Grand Duke.
Although the title was limited to one’s own, it was also the only family with which Kamingha had no ties with the royal family or social circles.
It wasn’t a deeply entangled relationship like marriage, but that made it even more special.
The Archduke was a thorn in the eye that could cause treason if he wanted to, and Valentin could sense the signs of it.
So there was nothing good about pretending to be with that family.
From https://noblemtl.com
Of course, no one, including King Christaner, doubted the Archduke’s loyalty.
However, Duke Sneijder at the time was different.
She wanted the Penetian to be mine in full and beautiful form.
without any flaws. perfect and pure.
“I will listen to the words of the Viscount. If Geumilbong wasn’t enough, we would have to drastically improve our treatment. Even if the Empire’s leaflets are full of lies, it will not be easy to calm the shaky minds of the soldiers. In times like these, it’s important to gather people’s hearts.”
“Duke, then…”
“Yes, I will give you the resources you need. Pulling out the military ryangmi will only speed up the exhaustion. We do not have enough time to ask the royal court official of the royal capital to open the royal treasury.”
“Huh!”
‘What a wide measure indeed.’ ‘What a bold decision!’ Sincere bullets erupted from all over the barracks.
Wilhelmina made it clear that this was only temporary, and that she had no desire to win the favor of the military at her own expense.
It was just a demonstration of patriotism, so I hope there will be no misunderstandings followed.
But big money was big money.
Maintaining and encouraging an army of this size for several months cost a lot of money.
Aristocrats were tongue-tied at her thick distribution.
Indeed, the Sneijder family, which produced 40% of the Holy Knights of the New Kingdom Army, was different.
“The Duke is willing to make a great suggestion, so we, the Valentin family, are also lacking, but we will help. Thank you so much.”
Starting with Valentin, similar proposals came out all over the place. Wilhelmina bowed gracefully.
“But there is one more thing. It’s about the search for the two of you.”
“·················ogue.”
“Even after searching the plains several times, I can’t find any traces of the two of them, so now I have to look in the northern part.”
The barracks roared again at the Viscount’s suggestion.
This was actually far more important than public opinion or the morale of the military.
The king’s spirit was not perfect, and the Crown Princess was the king’s deputy who entrusted part of the government to the royal court.
Since there was no evidence that she and the Archduke were killed, the search has not stopped so far.
Both were cardinals, so the odds of death were extremely low.
Wilhelmina raised an eyebrow softly.
“Utilizing ‘The Curse of the Saint’ was the plan of all of us. Did you not expect that there would be some degree of chaos until the full moon rises?”
“That’s right, but there was no mention of the two of them going out in person.”
Valentin pointed out. This time, other nobles also supported her claim.
“It is a rude statement, but the disappearance of the Crown Princess is not ‘to some degree’ of confusion. Duke.”
“I never thought that the Crown Prince would use Mars to do such a special thing… There were too many dead and missing people. No matter how powerful they are, they are not in a situation where they can wait comfortably.”
“I agree. Wouldn’t it be better to assume the worst case and send a search party to the north? From what I heard, the Imperial side already had wagons and troops…”
The air in the tent heated up with a heated discussion. The peacock’s eyes darkened.
She didn’t reveal her complicated feelings at all.
He just pretended to listen to everyone’s opinions with a thoughtful and thoughtful look.
But the conclusion had already been drawn.
‘The land of mist does not search.’
Because her secret is hidden there.
“The Crown Princess is the pillar of the new kingdom! At a time when the people also depend on him and persevere . . .”
“Didn’t you get a message from the Grand Duchess that they would support the enlisted soldiers? Cursed land is dangerous, but…”
From https://noblemtl.com
Of course, it was better for Wilhelmina that Elisha survived.
I do not know where he disappeared, but I sincerely hoped that he would return.
Raising the young second princess to my liking would cost me a lot more.
She didn’t want more chaos in the new country than now.
He never wanted war, and when his only brother killed the prince, he was furious.
How did Sneijder get up here, but his arrogance, ignorant of the hard work of finesse, was astonishing, and he almost shed tears of blood.
No matter how much I slapped her on the cheek, it didn’t cool her stomach. I wanted to strangle the man who had lost his limbs after throwing him into the mud.
But the duke withstood his cruel impulses with the most noble demeanor.
Come to think of it, maybe it was luck.
For some, war was a blessing from God.
It was an opportunity to make the new country my own, sooner than planned.
“How about waiting for the search results of the Imperial Army for now?”
The Duke expressed his opinion in a calm voice.
The Listerians, who did not know the love of God, did not know the growth process of Halo or Sunflower.
It was the barbarians who cremated the blessed body.
They were savages who crushed shapes imbued with power into powder.
From a very long time ago, they were no different from the desert beetles.
How dare you imagine such a wonderful secret?
They will leave Mancrans without knowing anything.
“As you have said, you two are strong. Also, on the Imperial side, the Crown Prince was missing. I heard that he was supported by an archbishop-level paladin and one swordsman.”
“Peacock-“
“Give me a little more time, you two. What we are doing now is in a way a hindrance. Isn’t this an opportunity to cut off the enemy’s heirs?”
“·················ogue.”
‘It will be a day or two.’ The nobles kept their mouths shut at the whispers that followed.
Complex gazes flew here and there like arrows.
But no one was paying attention to the very corner of the table. It was a shady place.
“······huh.”
Cardinal of the air, Count Arno van Roy snorted.
