Chapter 705 - The Fight for Time 5 (1/2)
Chapter 705: The Fight for Time 5
“Who is that child?”
“She is so bright and cute.”
Jo Mimi and Ja-hye, who were provided food by the guards, were confused when they found Karen.
It was because she was a child who wasn’t at the party when they started.
Unlike those who seemed suspicious, Erwin understood it.
“She is Princess Karen. She is Your Majesty’s daughter.”
“Your Majesty’s daughter?”
The two of them seemed visibly shocked.
They did hear the news that Luke was already married in their home nations.
However, after they came to Symphonia, they didn’t see the queen.
What was even odder was that most people in the palace were even unaware of the existence of a queen.
And Prime Minister Hans explained it.
“The queen’s mother is in poor health, so she is taking care of her at her own home. In addition, Your Majesty has too many enemies, so he is trying to keep his family under the radar and avoid any misfortunes to happen to them.”
It sounded plausible, but something still seemed suspicious.
Then they saw Luke’s daughter. That too when they were supposed to infiltrate the enemy camp.
“I didn’t know that he had a girl that old.”
“Maybe he married early.”
“Then, if we become His Majesty’s companion in the future, will we have to become the mother of that child?”
“Hu, hu, hu, I need to do well in the future.”
Erwin smiled thinly as she heard the conversation between the two. It was because she was confident that people wouldn’t think that Karen was adopted.
Luke and Karen looked way too similar, and she even believed that she was indeed her daughter.
‘There seems to be something…’
According to what Erwin observed, Luke and Hwang Bo-sung seemed to know Karen’s true identity.
But they never spoke about it.
It was like saying that the truth would result in a bad thing to happen.
“But doesn’t it look like they are arguing about something?”
“Right. What happened?”
As the princesses were talking, Karen and Luke did seem to be arguing.
“I hate it. I don’t want to do it.”
“Listen to your dad. We aren’t going anywhere right now.”
“I know. But you are going over to the Imperial Palace in Nemesis to stop Rudolf from using the ruins.”
‘Ruins?’
Those who were eavesdropping on their conversation like Erwin and the two princesses seemed puzzled.
As they knew, Luke declared war on the Baroque Empire, and it was because Rudolf tried to weaponize a notorious plague, Vers.
The reason the new group was organized and moved in a separate way was to remove the pathogen before the Imperial troops used them.
‘Are they using the Vers in that site?’
Luke glanced over at Erwin’s group and then looked back to Karen.
“This is war. It isn’t right for a child to be in here.”
“I am not a child!”
As Karen shouted, Luke realized who she was.
She was the genius mage who was regarded as the only hope of the future that was destroyed by the undead. A world that didn’t exist anymore.
Although she lost her original strength was lost and her body was changed into a child-like figure all because she went against Time and Space, she still had the experience and sense.
And after coming into the new future, the Aether in her body must have recovered to some extent.
“It isn’t as good as before, but I am better than you dad.”
“That joke is pretty hard on my ears.”
Luke’s face hardened at Karen’s words.
Rather than apologizing, Karen was taunting Luke.
“You just don’t want to admit it. But dad’s magic and sword skills are outdated.”
“What was that? Outdated?”
“Yes, like a generation ago!”
Well, from Karen’s point of view, it really was a generation old.
The one who was saying that was the very child who learned and used the legacy left behind by Luke.
‘This!’
Hwang Bo-sung hesitated whether or not to stop the two, who were fighting, but he couldn’t do it.
