Chapter 187: 100 The Blackened Village -2 (Part One)
The day after Third Iave me the hints I needed, Charlotte and I set off towards the village of Rost
Since the kingdohbour to the empire, the distance we needed to cover wasn’t all that do there didn’t take all that long for us
We rode on the skeleton horses, and after travelling non-stop with no breaks in between, ere able to reach our destination in ten days
The village was fairly large and faeous scenery, so on slayer’s current whereabouts and then leisurely wait for the arrival of the First Prince But now…
“Well, what a great stroke of luck this is”
Who could’ve guessed in their right e, Prince Barus would run straight into us?
Not only that…
“Stop thehts hurriedly picked up the inn’s tables and began blocking the building’s exit The s shattered and the zoently thrust and swung their swords to keep the undead frouessed that the whole village had ended up as a den of zombies?
Yup, this seehts were roaring out while swinging and stabbing with their swords Soht to prop up the door, while some continued to defend near the s
Their lives were on the line here, but the thing troubling thehtest since I was capable of hunting down Va for you,” I addressed Barus while pouring the liquor in the cup “Please settle down and have a drink with me”
I extracted another cup from my iterin on my face, I stared at his face
“You… how do you know e, his hand resting on the hilt of the sword mounted on his hips
Unlike histo buckle under the pressure
“You bastard! Just what or who are you?!” A knight cried out while yanking his sword out and pointing it atmistake, you know?
Charlotte’s expression turned incredibly cold in an instant
She easily sliced apart the pointing sword of the knight, then her left hand rapidlyhim up cleanly off the floor
“…!”
Barus’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets
She irl yet to enter adulthood to hi to hide his shock when her frail-looking hand lifted up an adult man by the throat without any probleht, dear prince”
While saying that, I stared deeply at Barus
[Na swordsreenhouse, lacks decisiveness, believes that he is in the right
+ I aly accused!]
I confirh Mind’s Eye
Barus was supposed to be a traitor, a rebel, so But his attributes were saying otherwise
I recommended the alcohol to him one more time, “For now, let’s enjoy this drink, shall we?”
Honestly, though, I didn’t really care whether he ainst him were false
After all, I only had one business to take care of in this place – to apprehend the Second Crown Princess Consort, Rose Darina That’s it
Barus shi+fted his gaze over to the knight currently gripped in Charlotte’s hand
“It’s alright now”
Charlotte let go of the poor ht fell on his butt and wheezed in pain
“Your highness, we hting off the zo the great numbers of zos, I figured that not just the villagers but even the unfortunate travellers had become victims as well
Barus shed thick, cold sweat drops as he alternated his gaze between his knights fighting off the zombies and aze and addressed him in a relaxed manner, “As they say, there isn’t much time left, it seems”
“…What is it that you want from me?”
Barus sat back on the chair He received the cup I had pushed towards him and dazedly stared at its contents
“Don’t worry, I didn’t put any poison in it”
“How can I trust you?”
“If I wanted to kill you, or kidnap you even, then I’d have done so already”
Barus sneaked a glance at Charlotte and her resolute silence
Since he had already witnessed her ure out that she was overwhelhts
“Alright, fine What is it that you want? Did the rebels send you?”
“Rebels?”
I tilted ht popped up in my head and I clapped my hands with an “Aha!”
The ‘rebel’ in Barus’s vieas probably Derian Victoria, the Second Prince of Lodo thehtful heir to the throne until now, after all
I replied back to him, “Nah, I’m not related to them I only wanted to ask you a question, that’s all”
“A question, is it?”
I rested my chin on my hands and asked Barus directly, “The Second Crown Princess Consort, Rose Darina Do you know her?”
Barus’s expression hardened at the mention of Rose Darina’s naaze between me and Charlotte It seeht ere ‘Paladins’ dispatched from the Theocratic Empire or some such
More cold sweat trickled down Barus’s face “How did you find ot lucky And I believe it’ll be better for you to answer my question”
I pointed at the entrance of the inn
