Chapter 83 (2/2)

Knights began to gather froed to take out their weapons as well But

”Haa?!”

The princess let go of the bat in her hand for a split second after being hit on her wrist I didn't let go of this chance, and pushed in for another strike

”…Kuh! Lia! I'll kill you if he escapes!”

I could feel a sword co up the wooden bat But

Clang!

”Kuuuh?!”

I blocked the sword strike with the steel bat, and hit the hips with the wooden bat The shadow knights guarded their pressure points for the ht

”Kuha?!”

”Guh?”

”W-what the?!”

Three knights were incapacitated in an instant All these people had resistance to torture due to intense training, but all such efforts were useless in front of the bat Lia ca

”Lia! Go turn off that energy restricting device now! Why the hell did you install such a thing?!”

”We-we'll have to go the the kuh? Dungeon entrance for thaaaa?!”

Lia's leg almost crumpled as she tried to talk with the princess

”T-this much is?!”

”Then one more it is”

”Kyaaa?!”

She resisted the wooden bat somehow, but the blow from the steel bat finally destroyed her I could hear the princess shout soht now, I had to run like hell The knights behind were slowly advancing in their armor These people were resistant to the bat I couldn't really fight them

I neutralized all enerasia And once I did so…

”We aiting”

…Hot da for me

46 was bowing towardsat me with surprised faces

”Yes, it's been a while”

I erasedon so voice

”So it was all… an act?”

”I wouldn't have survived in the capital otherwise In any case, 46… no, is it Mirua? You became a lot more like a human”

”If just acting a bit politely makes me more like a human, well… I'll just say I learned how to be courteous”

I shook my head

”No, if you learned under the princess, you will do well to re nor”

A look that rivaled that of the elves Stubbornness of the dwarves Evil that rivaled the deon Pureness of an elemental, and an obsession like that of a God If one tried to learn courteousness from someone like that, the society would kill the person immediately

”But in any case… to think you'd go to Marcis What a shame”

”Y-yes…”

Ria stepped back a little as she stared at the two bats in otten Well, it's a bit obvious that they wouldn't have forgotten

The bats played too big of a part in their life for anything otherwise

”Ms somewhere else for a moment?”

Mirua said this as he looked at the two bats

-H-hideous! You call these smooth curves of mine hideous?!

”I feel that er here, so I will have to decline”

”The princess will not kill you”

”Sometimes, death is better than life”

”…The princess will reward you accordingly”

Well, that is true The reason why the princess has so eniuses under her is because she pays well

Because the imperial palace is a place that treats blood as ie, nobles there tended to treat those under them like the expendables

But the princess got rid of all that The nu a former peasant in her ranks rudely already nuue with the emperor about it was about to enter the thousands as well, if I remembered correctly Well, it's been awhile since I left, so the number probably ell past a thousand at this point

In any case, it wasn't that bad to work under the princess… would be what you'd think, but the princess does suck up as h expectations for me, so it's not known just how much she'll suck from me And there's also the fact that I've almost been assassinated several times already

I've already given up on working inside an Evil Organization No way I'd go to a place filled with infighting! No! I won't do it! Ever!
