9 – Breaking Through

Four people who had come in a carriage together were waiting in the room they were shown to.

“Are you kidding me?”

The saintess screamed viciously.

“You give me time just because you lost a game of board games? Busy at han o’clock. In this situation?”

Wasn’t the princess the sweetest?

“It seems that the saintess is overly excited.”

Crusch blocked the princess in front of the saintess.

The princess, who was trying to get busy, played a board game with her lady-in-waiting who came to her suddenly.

Even when her saintess urged her princess, the princess didn’t say a word and just waited leisurely while her maid sipped her prepared black tea.

When the princess didn’t respond, the saintess, whose fever was rising, spoke to Eina and Crusch.

“Am I weird now? Say something to Your Highness. A little!”

After hearing the saintess’ words, Crusch spoke first.

“My duty is to protect you, not to slander you. If Your Highness wishes to do so, I will do so.”

The saintess let out a sigh.

“No, it looks like the plate is about to go out! It’s not like that’s the case! This stone head!”

Even though harsh words finally came out of her saintess’s mouth, Crusch didn’t say anything like she always did.

The gaze of the saintess moved to Eina.

She held onto Eina’s hand and begged.

“You know now, right? The Church and the Magic Tower have the same purpose. Miss Eina, please tell Her Highness the princess.”

Eina could not meet her saintess’ eyes and only looked at her.

Of course, she wasn’t so careless that the saintess didn’t know that.

“Stop staring and talk!”

Eina still couldn’t meet her eyes at the saintess’ words, but she opened her mouth.

“Su, Master told me that I just need to go and keep my seat…” You did.”

In the end, the saintess let go of her Eina.

She seemed to have given up even as a saint.

The princess who was watching said.

“Wasn’t the saintess originally opposed? She sees now that she is the most active.”

“Because the princess made the situation like that.”

“…”

“Please say something. Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“No matter how much I think about it, it makes no sense. Unless you’re even looking into the future.”

“A guy named Carl, you think he has the ability to see the future?”

“I think there is a possibility.”

“I heard that Carl has no talent.”

After hearing the princess’ words, the saintess thought.

And she thought that the princess was weighing.

“In other words, you coveted Carl’s ability and were thinking of killing him as planned or bringing him in.”

“No. Waiting. I wondered what kind of moves they would have prepared if they were really looking into the future. I’m going to decide later whether or not to bring it in.”

“But, is it necessary? Anyway, if everything goes according to plan, it will be certain that His Majesty will rise to the throne, right?”

“Be careful with your words.”

“Anyway.”

“Ha…. Because if seeing the future is real, it’s definitely going to help. Besides, there is such a story among the bard’s stories. She cut open the goose that lays the golden eggs. If you have the ability to see the future, it will help you well beyond becoming the emperor.”

“But can you trust me? Does anyone know that His Highness tried to kill him?”

“It’s too much to throw away.”

After her story, the princess fell silent again.

The saintess did not speak to the princess any more.

She reached out her hand a few times just for the sweet cookies on the table.

* * *

Matheus fainted, and when he opened his eyes he realized that he was riding on top of his horse, Julius.

And the man riding the horse in front of him was the man he had seen before passing out.

Noticing that Matheus had opened his eyes, Varen turned her head back to look at Matheus and said.

“Are you awake? I saw the letter and said it was urgent. She was going to wake up and go. I feel like I’m going to die if I wake up. I just didn’t wake you up.”

“Oh, that’s fine. However…”

“What, is there a problem?”

Matheus shook his head.

I didn’t want to disobey the man in front of me.

“It’s just that my words don’t burn others well.”

“Ah, that’s because I just dragged you and threw it on top of the horse and rode it. I heard you well. Hey, it must be a famous horse. Maybe the owner realized that he was in a hurry.”

‘It’s not like that, but I guess I instinctively follow it because I want to live.’

Matheus thought about what he had said and what had happened, and he thought it wasn’t like that.

Julius was a good runner and had courage, but he was by no means a clever horse.

So he got along well with himself.

“But are the contents of the letter real? If you’re messing around with me, things will be bigger than you think.”

“…Sorry, I can’t answer. I do not know the contents of the letter.”

“Didn’t the owner tell you anything?”

“Yes.”

Baren stopped talking at Matheus’s words.

“Your master seems to have a fair amount of trust.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah, it sounds like a pretty important thing. If I hadn’t said anything, I would have secretly opened it out of curiosity.”

Mateus denied Baren’s words for the first time.

“That goes against the knight’s convictions. It would have been the same if it had been another article, not me.”

“You were a knight. But the articles I saw were all just words, they were complete bullies. From what you say, I can see why your master trusts you.”

Mateus said Gingaming.

Is this accusing the knights of being bullies, or praising them for being trusted?

From noble mtl dot com.

“I think we will arrive in about four hours. It’s one horse, but it’s slow because there are two people riding it. Of course, it’s fast enough compared to a normal horse, but if you keep going like this, the horse will die first. You have to take a break in the middle.”

“I know that much.”

“Oh yeah? Guys called knights think they know that horses spring up from the ground, so I thought I would just ask them to go.”

Mateus realized what Baren was saying.

I don’t know why, but Baren had animosity toward the article.

“Do you hate articles?”

“…Tear?”

“You look like you’re showing off.”

Varen was silent for a moment.

“There are a few guys I want to tear to death. Most of them are knights.”

“Is that so?”

This was the new information Matheus learned.

I don’t know why Carl and Cassius brought Varen, but Matheus thought he should tell them this information.

* * *

Me and Cassius pondered over the words the princess had delivered.

“What does this mean?”

“How do I know?”

Kassius thought for a long time before coming up with the answer he had in mind.

“If you listen to what the princess said, it’s meaningless to declare war after knowing what we prepared….”

“That…. That certainly makes sense.”

I couldn’t come up with an answer after thinking about it, so Cassius’ words sounded plausible.

While thinking that the saintess knew about her whereabouts in Varen, and conveyed it to the princess, she found out about our plan.

“Couldn’t you mobilize knights to block Lord Baren’s way?”

“That makes sense too.”

When the princess suddenly changed her attitude, she didn’t know what to say.

“It was a day. The time we told Her Highness.”

I wanted to say it for months instead of a day or two, but the princess’s patience we thought was only one day.

“If Sir Baren doesn’t come by today, it will be over.”

I have to walk to the guillotine.

It was then.

The office door opened and two men entered.

“I, Matheus, have faithfully carried out the Marquis’s order. Dismissal!”

Matheus came in shouting.

“Do I have to do that? It doesn’t look like much right now.”

Along with Baren, the man who complains to Matheus.

“Bar, Sir Baren. Are you here?”

A relief pitcher has finally arrived.

“Are you Carl?”

“Yes, it is me. You must have been tired on the way to come first. Sit down and rest.”

“No, I wish I had told you before that.”

He has an impatient personality.

I thought so.

Yes, first of all, if you explain the circumstances and receive what you will receive, then tell you what you will be told and send it, it will end without any harm.

It was when I was about to open my mouth while thinking that.

In the office The princess and her group also entered the office.

“Who is Carl?”

The princess’s eyes came to me while scanning the people in the office.

“It must be you.”

I didn’t want to run into them until the situation was over, but I ended up running into them.

I got up from my seat and bowed my head.

“Meet the Three Princesses.”

“Yes, behind the chess I played with you, I waited anxiously for your move.”

The princess turned her head towards Baren while talking to me.

“So the author is your number?”

It was then.

Ever since the princess was born, she has heard words that she never said to herself.

“What are you talking about leaving people standing?”

Crush drew his sword and swung it at Baren without any hesitation.

And I couldn’t help but shout.

“If you kill me, the deal is void!”

While looking at the sword, Baren’s hand, which was facing Crusch, changed its direction while startling.

Baren ducked to avoid the sword coming towards him and raised his fist from under him, touching only the part of his sword and striking it.

The sword absorbed the shock as it shattered, but it wasn’t all, so Crusch floated up and then fell back, coughing up blood.

“Baren, why are you?”

“Oh, was the saintess there too?”

Baren and the saintess looked at each other and said.

The saintess wiped her face.

In the end, the saintess was convinced that her mission was a failure.
