Chapter 22 (2/2)
A stern voice echoed through the area
At the sound of that voice, those who had been hidden simultaneously came into view
Soldiers with ready swords and bows surrounded the entire area Since when?! and unsettlehout the soldiers of Sckellz
“This is the doiven for trespassing”
“Absurd!! Why is the Kingdo from his face
Indeed, the banner raised by the surrounding soldiers did not belong to the Kingdodom of Vint
Furtherhts from the royal city’s own Order
The aze on us, but spoke to the boy under his guard as standing behind him
“Your Highness, I deeply apologize for having involved you in this”
“No The one who unreasonably had you march out was me”
The divine looks of the boy referred to as Highness looked like a painted angel coolden hair that looked like it had been spun out of sunlight, and blue eyes, from his looks alone, this boy and the princess were like two peas in a pod The airs they gave off were completely different, however
The blue of his eyes rese terrible and unknown lurked at the bottom
“You cannot overlook the actions of these insolent doms Mind me not, and please carry out your duties It seems like the two boys are bound Please take care of them”
This young boy speaking with such unbelievable cododom of Nayvel—Johan von Werfald
“It can’t, this is…ridiculous,” Niklas said in dise who should never have been in a place like this
Eyes wide open in shock, a streak of sweat slid down the side of his face The hand holding the hilt of his sword shook uncontrollably
Niklas retreated with unsteady footsteps, and tripped over the root of a tree
Eyes gathered on the stu form, and Prince Johan narrowed his eyes at hi, he held his chin in his fingers and seconds passed without a word
And then, after blinking his eyes several times, he said, Ahh
“Niklas”
“!!”
“Your Highness, do you know him…?”
“Niklas von Buelow A Royal Knight frodom… Niklas, why are you here?”
“……”
With those blue eyes that looked like they could see through everything zeroed in on hiulped
He was desperately searching for an excuse, but I wonder if he’d noticed yet?
That no matter what he did, he was already in checkmate
Hoas a , and to double the miracle, the Second Prince of Nayvel was even in the same camp?
That out of all the routes he could have taken, for Niklas to expressly choose the route That the knights of Vint had had time to conceal themselves at the location even before the soldiers froether
All according to plan
Niklas had unknowingly played according to the script,his little sister inside the castle, and the prince who stood before him now
“The coloring of those boys… They resemble the wizard children my brother wrote of in his letter”
“……”
“Why have you bound them? Why are you with our enemies? Answer me, Niklas von Buelow!”
Driven even hness’s words, Niklas’s shoulders shook with surprise
Eyes burning with despair, he cast the, he bit on his lower lip
“……up”
“So you’ve been reduced to turning traitor on your kingdoe!” the prince said scornfully
“Shut up!” Niklas yelled “Shut up, shut up, shut up!!”
He shook his head once, as if to rid hirabbed Lutz who stood beside him
“!”
His sword caainst Lutz’s neck
“bastard!”
“Don’t move! Unless you’re fine hat h
Growling like a s
“You co as well!”
Irab for ainst hness and the others
“If you don’t want to regret what happens to these guys, don’t get any closer!”
What a typical villain’s line
I was so disgusted I couldn’t help sighing, but I kne serious the situation was so I kept my face blank On the other hand, my pal couldn’t sense the mood at all
“You’re so loud! You don’t need to shout in my ears,” he nonchalantly said as he covered his ears, face twisted in displeasure
I couldn’t supress a wry s off his untied hands
“You’re…!”
“Aren’t you kind of stupid? We’re obviously no longer cut out to be es”
Ay geration of disappointround
He gave ed frorey
A hollow sound pierced the air as the sas sent flying from Niklas
“Wha—?!”
Therese the feet of Niklas and his group in an instant
“How can you use…?! Wasn’t it suppressed?!”
“Oh, this?” Lutz asked, pointing at the thing fitted around his neck Using a finger to release the clasp, it very easily caround “As you can see, it’s a fake”
He smiled innocently, but with the swipe of his hand countless ice shardsdown on the fellows
“Uwahhhh!!!”
Lutz looked like he was acting in a fit of violence to vent his anger I gave hith
“Don’t wreak havoc first without me”
With allits reathered in the palm of my hands
“EEEEKK!”
Theme thrust me away from him in order to create some distance between us
Refining the surrounding air, I let the fla in my hands, the fellows screamed
“Th-they’re…monsters…!!!”
Reacting to the words of the ashen and tre men, Lutz and I looked at each other at the same time
Gazes cooling, we spat our responses at them
“Monsters? Too late to realize that now”
“These monsters were coveted, weren’t they? By your Master”
