Oscal Baldur gulped the water down and then shoved a big chunk of meat in his mouth
“Thank you, archbishop,” heon a ist of what happened fro
Oscal said that for the last fourthe desert all alone He had nothing to drink or to eat, and whenever he was about to collapse fro in the vast desert proved to be his hope of survival
He killed giant desert scorpions and consu to ambush him, he cut open their bladders and quenched his thirst that way
Afterwards, he walked, and then continued walking some more
He would sometimes spot a town or a troupe of mercenaries once everyin contact with them
Aslan was in the middle of war
Oscal ell aware of how badly twisted the iet Ill intentions hidden behind the facade of kindness – that was the situation people usually encountered within a country that had turned into a warzone
He could have a task with his worn-out body He had to consider the possibilities of hi away on the ca the whiff of his current whereabouts
And so, he decided to avoid people ashis journey across the desert
It didn’t take hiht one of the soldiers trying to desert the arated him
He learned from the soldier that Aslan couldn’t stop the Theocratic Eh the cycle of defeat and retreat And now, the kingdo to sneak attack Evelyu that, Oscal killed the deserter and headed in the direction of the Theocratic Empire’s relentless march
“What about the Imperial Princes?”
Raphael’s question was arding the whereabouts of his highness the Seventh Prince As for the traitor Ruppel, he and I landed on the saether, but…”
The probleht into a fierce sandstorular sandstor of two, three different storether
Thanks to this freakyfar away from one another, and the olda scale that he had never even seen or heard before in his entire life
“In the case of the Third I under the layers of desert sand are quite high I barely ed to walk out of that stor, it wouldn’t be easy to bend the great mother nature to his will
Once he filled up his empty belly, he stood up from the chair
However, Raphael tried to dissuade hier?”
“No, I ive my report to his majesty first”
Ten minutes of break was sufficient for Oscal
He quickly walked aith his new destination being the coreeted by the sight offor his arrival
On either side of him, the leaders of the Orders of the Criion, the Paladin Corps and the Heavenly Army Finally, the newly-installed head of the White Cross was present as well
Coest coathered in one place And in the seat of honour ahead of the on a throne
The ruler of the Theocratic E and personally leading the Order of the Golden Cross The Holy Eolden ar at Oscal with an indifferent expression
“Report, Oscal Baldur”
The e to ask whether Oscal was doing well or not Not even a shock or a welco at all
The eet
However, Oscal’s heart became more tranquil from this lack of reaction That’s because the e an answer for his failure to protect the Imperial Prince and to capture the traitor
Without a doubt, Kelt Olfolse was the ideal ruler who’d never be shaken up by anything As the sacred sovereign Oscal swore to serve until his dying day, this emperor was the embodiment of perfection
Oscal knelt down on one knee and bowed his head “Please forgive this one’s disloyalty, your majesty I failed to hold onto the traitor as mentioned in your decree, Ruppel Olfolse Also, I failed to protect the noble Saint, his highness Allen Olfolse”
The ht up, the head of the Order of the White Cross ever so briefly flinched
She was standing tall with her pure-white sword stabbed into the ground beloith both of her hands holding its hilt For a moment there, her eyes trerin bitterly at Charlotte still acting unsatisfactorily even to this day
The Holy Emperor spoke with a low voice, “Any other report to h the fate of his youngest grandson was up in the air, the elimpse of unrest
“I’ve witnessed Aslan’s ar, Raha the formation” Oscal reported on what he saw and heard “Their destination was Evelyum, a place referred to as the city of slaves”
“Was it to protect the city?”
“No, your majesty It was to attack”
“The reason?”
“This servant does not know, but there ’ in that city For that man to attack one of his own cities in this current wartime situation, there can only be one reason, your uratively speaking, only a stone’s throay Yet Raha his troops back?
Just like what Oscal said, there ’ else at play here And there was little to doubt that this ‘so’ were the Imperial Princes
But soical sense You wouldn’t necessarily need to attack the whole city if you wanted to hit only the ‘Imperial Princes’
Whichthe ‘Iency
