Volume 1 Chapter 8 (2/2)
The soldier's intention to call help the moment when Ryouma hands relaxed is gone. Ryouma keep himself alerted.
”By the way, I do not have much time see. Will you please tell me soon?”
After whispering such words, Ryouma put more power on his arms.
The fear of death began to break the soldier's, heart.
”Just... from this... place... turn right... pa.s.sage...then exit... pa.s.s... through the courtyard...”
”Go out and exit from the right pa.s.sage, then pa.s.s through the courtyard right?”
After confirming it, the soldier nods, Ryouma then puts more force on his arms and tightened the soldier's throat further.
The power of the soldier who tried to push Ryouma body as an act of last struggle grew weaker.
”My bad...”
After Ryouma removes his arms that had been used to choke the soldier throat, he stares at the corpse of a soldier lying under his eyes and mutters such words.
Inspecting the body of the three bodies, he took the bags filled with gold coins from them. Also, Ryouma used the bandage and the hot water to wipe away the blood from his helmet and armor.
When all of the blood have been wiped out, Ryouma put fire on everything inside the medical office.
After Ryouma had left the medical room where it has become filled with black smoke, he took a deep breath.
”Fire~~~, There's Fire~~~!”
Ryouma voice echoes inside the Royal Palace.
A fire outbreak happens inside the royal palace is a very serious matter.
He changed his complexion that he usually he has.
”Fire~~! The fire broke out from the medical office~~!”
”Fire? Where is the fire?”
”From the medical office! Bring water immediately!”
”No! Call the Imperial court magician! Ask them to extinguish the fire in one go with magic!”
”You stupid! We need to evacuate His Majesty and the royal family first!”
The panicked voice of a soldier, maid, and a butler can be heard.
Carry the things that are valuable. I will ask the boss for instruction. And the one who running around carrying buckets of water in hand. It would be right this is the so called the melting pot of confusion.
He feels guilt for trampling over the flower, but, right now such thing is a trivial matter, that's what he had thought.
However, thanks to that he did not notice Ryouma that have escaped along with soldiers of the aristocrats. Ryouma who's wearing the Imperial Guard armor mixed with aristocrats, trying to get away from the palace.
What Ryouma currently in is actually a wonderful miscalculation Spontaneously smiles floats on his face.
In Ryouma eyes, the figure of the aristocrats tries to escape at the castle gate appears.
”Fuu~~. I guess, I manage to do it huh...”
Ryouma who walk along with the aristocrats succeeded at pa.s.sing the gate without being questioned.
Ryouma then turned around staring at the white castle that he just escaped from. As if trying to oppose its grand appearance...
