Chapter 49 (1/2)
… The time takes place a little before Nedoion –
She, who lived separate froht, however, she responded back to the caller without any co from the main house was unusual, and had already woken her up before
As a precaution, she wore not the attire she usually wears when sleeping, but the one she uses for hunting that wouldn't i with a short sword and leather arer who called her was ahair, and was someone she was faes to her from the main house… however, the expression he had this ti had occurred within the household
She tries to ask the man by her door
“The house had been noisy, what happened?”
“The situation right now is urgent, so please leave the …… Princess, the ‘head' will meet with you in the room…… please come this way”
” …… ?”
With a position as an illegiti called ‘h… There was never a ti this person her call her that confused her…
On top of that, the head of the household, Viscount Barakato, directlywith her was an even more unusual case
She was suspicious of it all, but since the person guiding her would give no room to speak up, she quickly followed obediently
At the main house, Benedetta reached upon the roo
There, she saw the viscount equipping his armor and helmet with the help of his attendants… she i around
It was customary for her to refer the viscount the sa her father, as her status is that of a child from a concubine Such distinction should have been the case
“… Your headshi+p I have brought the Princess!”
“So you have… There's not enough time Do not ask questions and listen to me carefully”
On a normal occasion, there should have been no need for his headshi+p to be speaking to her directly, but she faces his way and listens with great anxiety
“… Yes”
“Before long, rebels of the kingdom and an army of devotees will raid this household As such, you will be sent away froht in order to keep the fa”
“Devotees… the church's sect!?”
The sect of the Order Church was a radical group, purging those worshi+pping Gods other than Dhaka… News of their increasing influence ever since the kingdoicide had already been widespread
Even she had already been aware of the confrontation between the sect froions, had been spreading around the north
However, it's still difficult to believe they had already reached the outer borders of the north and are attacking at night…
… And also, there's the matter of when he mentioned the house's name, 'Barakato' …
What he would mean by that, is to escape from here and preserve the blood of the Barakato family
”Please wait! I wish to reh for me to meet with my ancestors alone… those people would be satisfied with that for the ti… I won't be able to hter die with est time in her memory, this would be the first tihter And she was surprised by that
While still shocked, a nearby attendant handed to her an ite this to you once you become an adventurer, but there won't be a time like that anymore… That item hat your er
The unique decoration of a horse's head on the handle, was sculpted delicate enough for even an amatuer to notice its value The blade itself was also decorated well
… The father watched the girl, still fascinated with the dagger, and spoke slowly to her
”Yulia… forgive me Had you been treated equally as e from Prudia' would have been revealed… the treatment was rash, and it is inexcusable of me as your father”
It all came on to her all of a sudden, and had confused her a little, but the words she says next were the ones she had never mistaken for
”Father!”
”So you would still callfor his daughter…”
Frohter, who never had the chance to get along, hugged each other… but it wasn't long until news came interrupted into the room
”Your headshi+p! Our forces to intercept the intruders are ready!”
A fully arht I'll head there ily hugged his daughter… and then pro for hiave his last words
”… Yunia! I'll be off!”
”… Father, be safe!”
She endured back her tears when seeing off her father with her head bowed down
After being handed some money, she headed to the stable to secure a horse for her escape… There she meets the man who had called for her earlier… Unlike before however, he noears a leather armor and equipped with a bow around his shoulder
”Princess, please use this horse All equipment for it had already been finished There are so from the horse's saddle”
”Thank you so htly sht feet and speed… most likely instructed froift from his headshi+p”
”Eh?”
Where the er that she had just received, but the short sword she always had
… However, this sword had been given to her from her brother…
”Hahaha… That sword and it's fine crafts master could acquire that on his own…”
Somehow, it wasn't only the brother, but the father also had some help with it it seems
”… I just wish to tell the princess that”
Those words hurt her so what the man will plan to do next, but she asks anyways
”Tourei! What do you plan to do now?”
”I will remain by his headshi+ps side All the way until the end”
”……”
Fro if she would do the same, and rush at her father in the battlefield, but the ret
”You shouldn't do such a thing now, Princess”
”… …I understand”
She had thought of going against such orders, but like as expected… she couldn't
”… I give you ”
She jumped onto the back with fluent skill, and turned the horse towards the back gate
”Safe journeys Princess!”
Riding away froave aback to the household she had once lived in, she thought to herself
(With the blood from my father and once adventurer ates! Show these people the power of the Barakato's central force!”
”Ohhh!”
While listening to the noises of the ar in the opposite direction… she does not wish to waste her father's efforts
This conflict, was only but one of the ion…
