Chapter 176 - Volume 9 (2/2)

In fact, it is said among the people that if only the [Saintess] had been there, the rebellion would not have even occur.

This came from a deep sense of gratitude and trust in the “legendary saintess” who had supposedly saved the world at the expense of herself. Her two companions, the [Holy Kingdom’s Brave] and [Holy Warrior], also acknowledged this.

Currently, the progress of the rebel army to the capital is being held back. The two main rebel leaders are being pinned down on the front lines, leaving the rebel stronghold in limbo.

This caused the battle lines to spread out of control and skirmishes to occur in various places.

It is no exception in this Viscount Carrow estate.

“Well, it’s not that easy to encounter them. You know how big the Saint Country is right?”

“I know, right? I thought, ‘How unlucky are we to run into the rebels on the only day we went out in secret?’ That was what we were talking about.”

“Hahahaha–…….”

“…………….”

“There’s someone over here! Turn the troops around!”

“They really came after all—–!”

At the noise of what sounded like soldiers rushing from deep in the forest, the three of them screamed at the same time.

“This is Fer’s fault! It’s because you raised a flag!!”

“Ehhhhhhh……..isn’t it the same for Min?”

“We are all in big trouble……”

Even though there is one person who is capable of combat, in the end they are still just three young women who were found by the enemy soldiers. But even so, there is just no way to make them feel nervous.

It’s not that they had any means of escape or that they had prepared a secret plan, it’s just that the longer they spend with the inhumane duchess, the more their [Mental Tolerance] rises. As a result, the three maids who have been watching the duchess since they were born were feared by the duke’s servants as special maids who could calmly deal with any situation.

‘To put it simply, it’s not that I’m the tense one because I’m ‘bad’.’

“You’ll both have to run. I’ll hold them off.”

Sarah, a female knight whose [Mental Tolerance] has not risen comparatively among the three, jumps down from the driver seat of the horse-drawn-carriage and draws her sword from her waist while exuding a sense of urgency.

“…….Hey, Fer. Can you be the driver?”

“What is Min saying? Do you think I’ve ever done that growing up in the city?”

“You two…….”

Min smiles kindly at Sarah, who wants to say something, and gets out of the carriage, wiping the sweat from Sarah’s forehead.

“You don’t have to do this alone.”

“Master Yuru would scold me if I said I had abandoned Sarah.”

“Let’s figure out a way for the three of us to escape.”

At their unfounded smiles, Sarah nodded strongly and regripped her sword, even though her back was drenched in sweat.

“There they are! Let’s go!”
