Chapter 152 - Chapter 29: War Destruction #3 (2/2)

“4th Princess has specifically assigned a defenseless area to 9th Prince and 6th Princess. I will take you there.”

At the special request, In-gong and Felicia looked at each other. The two of them shared the same thoughts.

“As expected, it is a bad area. Are we going to be kept in the rear?”

Just like Evian, Curtis wasn’t the name of a city but the name for the entire western front.

The transportation formation connected to the Demon King’s Palace was located to the east end of Curtis. Currently, Anastasia and Victor had arrived earlier and were able to move to the northwest using the transportation formations.

However, In-gong’s party was now moving in a carriage toward the southwest, rather than the northwest. It was still the west, but the south-west area wasn’t connected to the Western Limit Line. In other words, it was a quiet area with a low chance of an enemy attacking.

This was because Anastasia hadn’t accomplished any great merits since being sent to Curtis. Now that In-gong had appeared, it was inevitable that Anastasia would feel displeased. It was natural for her to put In-gong in the rear, so that he couldn’t build up any merits.

From Enger Plains to Evian, In-gong had always been in charge. However, this time, he was just a helper. It was Anastasia’s role to oversee the royal children dispatched to Curtis, so she had the choice of whether or not to ask In-gong for help.

“Well, I guess it is hard to go against Anastasia in this.”

Felicia said with a frown. Carack smiled from opposite her and said,

“But if you’re going to be safe, the rear doesn’t seem that bad. Especially when looking at Prince’s state right now.”

Carack said, and all eyes in the carriage turned toward In-gong.

In-gong was fitting a bracelet onto Felicia’s wrist. As one of the items collected during his tour of the Demon King’s Palace, it was a one time charm to defend against physical attacks.

“Now, the last one.”

Next to the blue bracelet was a red bracelet. To be exact, it was the 12th magic item. In addition to Felicia’s arms, several magic items of various colours were hanging around her neck, from her ears, waist and so on. All of them had belonged to In-gong.

“Prince, isn’t this a little too much? There should be a harmony, harmony.”

Not only were there too many, the colours didn’t match each other. It was a natural result of equipping the magic items randomly.

“Uhh, is that so?”

In-gong shrugged as he looked at Felicia. She was still pretty, but that was because Felicia was so beautiful that her beauty outshone everything else.

There were two different coloured necklaces and six different coloured bracelets on both of her arms. Additionally, she wore earrings, ankle bracelets and other accessories which created a bizarre image. To be honest, Felicia’s beauty wasn’t enough to cover everything.

As In-gong stared at Felicia with narrow eyes, Delia said with a smile,

“It shows how much 9th Prince values 6th Princess.”

This was because the accessories were all defensive magic items. After the fight against the Famine Knight, In-gong was interested in Felicia’s defense.

Carack nodded and said,

“Delia, you should tell Prince bluntly.”

In-gong looked like he didn’t understand. Delia hesitated a bit before smiling awkwardly.

“For Her Highness’ reputation, it is a little…”

It was obvious that she would be called a fashion terrorist. Felicia laughed. So far, she had been standing still like a doll, but she spoke at this moment,

“Well, I am a little unbalanced. Still, Shutra prepared these for me, so shouldn’t I wear them?”

Her voice and eyes weren’t lifeless. She was looking at In-gong with a touched exprssion, like she was about to say Caitlin’s ‘amazing’.

Carack looked at her appearance and shook his head.

“If Prince Silvan were here, he would be wailing.”

Silvan would be filled with envy, then Felicia would hit him on the head with a fan.

In-gong laughed and scratched his jaw.

“Uhh, I guess I should make some adjustments. I think it is a good idea to commission Amita to modify it.”

“Will Amita do it?”

Felicia asked In-gong with a gentle smile.

“Their tail will pound on the floor. They will grunt but wouldn’t they agree in the end?”

In-gong’s gaze turned back to Felicia, and Carack interrupted again.

“Prince, if Prince asks, then even Princess will agree. You are correct.”

It was like that. Felicia blushed and refuted,

“I-it isn’t like that. Don’t you think, Delia?”

“Uh, um, yes. That’s right. If Princess says so, it is the case.”

“Delia!”

Delia’s tone was inconsistent with her words. In-gong smiled as he saw the grouchy Felicia and said,

“Anyway, I’ll ask Amita.”

“Um, I feel like that raccoon is somewhat pitiful.”

“It’s okay, I think they are adapting to it these days. There isn’t as much resistance as there used to be.”

Animals were creatures of adaptation, and a raccoon was like that as well.

Unlike Evian, which was a wasteland, Curtis was a land of rain and greenery. After studying the scenery outside the window for a while, Felicia asked In-gong,

“It will be two days until the reinforcements arrive… Until then, we have no strength, so we just need to stay in the rear. Shutra, do you know anything about the place we’re going to?”

Felicia had wandered all over the Demon World, but this was her first visit to Curtis. Moreover, the place where the party was headed was the fringe of Curtis.

It was the same for In-gong. However, In-gong had intelligence from Knight Saga. To the southwest of Curtis was the land of giants with a huge forest. So, there was a reason why In-gong could remain cheerful despite being sent to the rear.

“It is a fairly interesting place.”

As he stared out the window, In-gong searched through his memories. The surrounding landscape was changing bit by bit.
