Chapter 20 (1/2)
The Co of the Crown Prince (5)
Rooaaarrr…
The fire sphere ymnasium
Cecelia knew the spell very well
Due to its slow flight speed it normally isn’t used for duels
Instead, its poas extreme
She had to jump away to avoid it
‘If I don’t, I will die’
The proble to protect her from the ice shards
While casting the barrier, she couldn’t move
She had two choices
Choose to die, or risk her body for a small chance of survival
Cecelia chose, of course, the second choice
She didn’t want to die like this
“Cancel”
The barrier that was nearly wrecked collapsed
As she becas to jump as far as she could to avoid the area of effect of the fire sphere
Pkkkkht! Pkht! Pkkht!
The ice shards stabbed her mercilessly
It penetrated her defenseless exposed body
Argh…!
She couldn’t help screa
Froh
Not just the feeling of being stabbed, but the feeling of being penetrated struck her whole body
It was an extreme pain that a normal person wouldn’t be able to bear
‘I survived’
Nevertheless, Cecelia was sure that she made it
Ice shards didn’t stab her vital points
She avoided the area of effect of the fire sphere
BOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!
The noise of an enormous explosion shook the whole province castle
The fire sphere which Cecelia avoided had destroyed the outer wall of the province castle
“Mana Barrier……!”
Cecelia rolled on the floor
Then she re-cast the mana barrier
Now Ice shards in the sky no longer threatened her
“Pant! Pant! Pant……”
Her wounded body spewed out blood
It covered the whole floor where she laid
But everything was fine for her People would come soon
They would heal Cecelia
‘There is no proof’
She was satisfied that she survived
There was no proof The proof of her real identity She had no idea how that kid knew everything, but she bet that he had no proof She was so sure about it She always acted thoroughly She didn’t leave any trails
‘And people would be more likely to believe me’
She was a 3rd class e of the ivory tower
She sneaked into the tower and pretended to be devoted to them for 11 years
She wouldn’t be suspected by the boy’s proofless claim
‘After I recover from my wounds, then later I will……’
While Cecelia washer plan for the future,
“Hew!”
Ian came closer to her and sat down
There was an empty bottle where he had stood
‘It was indeed, half elixir’
The half elixir that Ledio gave to hiift
Ledio said it would work as soon as he drank it, so Ian had drank it before confronting Cecelia The result was satisfying Cecelia was defeated and laid on the floor with a bloody body
‘There would be soh’
His ly
“I would take some credit this time”
After Ian ed to calm down his heart, he spoke quietly
“By arresting you”
“Haha, can you?”
“Of course”
“Where is the proof? I a I left behind”
“You are right The previous time, you didn’t leave any clues”
“Previous time?”
“You won’t understand”
Previous ti?
Cecelia was caught in an unspeakable fear
“The proof even you guys, Coldwalkers, don’t know”
“Are you kidding me……!”
“Calm down You will see it soon”
Later on the situation went as they both expected
“What happened…”
“The wall, what…?”
Many croere enjoying the party gathered They were shocked twice Once by the shattered wall of the province castle, and another ti Cecelia
“Cecelia?”
The other two ently
With a single look, she had severe wounds
“What happened? This wound… by ic?”
Suddenly two es looked at each other
There were five rian province
Including those two e, Marco
And Marco was absent for tower lord’s mission
That meant
“I did”
Everyone’s eye focused on Ian
The boy admitted that he destroyed the wall, and wounded Cecelia
There was a short silence
“Tell us the details”
The heavy low voice ended the silence
The owner of voice was the second royal knight captain, Oliver Raywood
“What happened here?”
“Coincidently, I saw so that the lady over there…”
Ian paused and looked at Cecelia
Cecelia made a curious face
What kind of nonsense was he about to say?
“She was talking to a masked man”
“Huh?”
By Ian’s word, Cecelia sneered
So he chose to speak a lie
There was no proof nor witness There was no support
It made her sneer
“Go on”
“Whenever she saw me, she tried to kill me”
“So you wounded her like that?”
“Otherwise, I would have died”
It was a story that he couldn’t believe
Cecelia was the official 3rd class e of Ivory tower
And did this boy beat her?
He heard enough about the rumors of Ian
In the royal palace, and northern territory Everyone was talking about Ian
He was a genius like the First Mage
He cast
He rescued the great landlord, and guaranteed as Eternal Guest for the northern territory
But still, he couldn’t simply believe it
“Can you prove it?”
The story that even captain Oliver couldn’t believe
He questioned as formalities, rather than he sincerely believed the story
“It see”
“Check?”
“Son on their body…”
As Ian paused intentionally,
“Check her”
Captain Oliver ordered straightly
He ordered to check not a just normal person, but Cecelia
“Hey captain! Enough insulting!”
“Did you forget we are the es of the Ivory tower?”
Of course, the hts would not dare to go against two 3rd class es However, Oliver Rayas different
Sururung!
Rather, he drew his sword and pointed it at the es
Other knights would not dare to act like that
“Y, You dare……!”
“DARE?”
The old e’s word upset the captain Oliver
