66 Episode 65: Hostage (1/2)

Jinbo The incident that struck the royal city of Horus continued for a while after defeating it.

The unleashed undead swarmed down the city did not stop when the mastermind fell.

However, the undead that appeared in Horus were generally low-level individuals, and if the initial confusion subsided, it did not take long to clear up.

Probably, Jinbo did not intend to seriously destroy the capital city.

If that happens, it could even affect the marriage between Prince Canary and Princess Adastella, which is scheduled to take place two months later.

So it seems that he did not have a strong undead in the city.

The flock of undead was wiped out of the royal capital the next day, with guards guarding the block, the Knights who stormed from the Royal Castle, and even the priests of leading temples.

The situation has calmed down. I returned to Ishka without prejudice-not to mention that Dr. Dragnaut digs deep into the situation.

The conversation between me and Jinbo is heard by everyone who was there. I couldn't cheat now, and I didn't intend to do so, so I told the Duke what I knew.

Even the duke, it should have been a minor shock to know that his daughter's curse was due to the empire's caster, and that the purpose was to break the daughter's engagement with the prince.

This is undoubtedly part of the invasion by the Empire, and it is likely that the domestic aristocrats, who had promoted the marriage between the Prince and the Imperial Princess, were also involved in conspiracy.

If you reveal the truth, the kingdom of Canary will surely go wild.

However, there is no option to hide the truth. It only benefits the empire.

Needless to say, the Imperial side would not admit that this case was announced, and the marriage between the Prince and the Princess will continue.

If the kingdom breaks down, that could lead to the opening of the war. The Adastera Empire has enough national power to make such a powerful work possible.

A deep wrinkle was created in the eyebrows of Draglia, the lead nobleman of Canary, which did not seem to disappear easily.

I am not another person.

In the future, it is not unlikely that the empire, parents' house, etc. will ask for ”provide humans who have defeated Jinbo.”

It is conceivable that the king of Canary or the prince of Corchia (a pro-imperial aristocracy), who feared the criticism of the empire, would present me who had defeated Jinbo.

With that in mind, the Duke and I have spoken.

As a result, it was decided that my actions in this one case were downplayed. Not only for the empire, but also for the Canary.

It was Duke Dragnaught who defeated Jinbo, and Jinbo gave all the information about Onigashima and Adastera.

At first glance, it looks like the Duke has taken my credit, but it's actually what I proposed.

At this stage, I thought it was not a good idea for ”Mikazora” to stand on the front stage, so I decided to hide in the shadow of His Excellency Thunder.

The reason for taking such a measure was to gain time.

Regardless of the sex root, Jinbo is a person who has mastered the mind.

If it turns out that I, who was expelled from the island five years ago, has killed a human who has reached the mystery of the illusionary one-sword style, Onigashima will definitely send more than Jinbo. I'm going to crush me over the face of a fantastic sword.

I'm not going to be hostile with Onigashima anymore, but to be honest, it's best to have a full collision a little later.

Falcon It is about time that Ilia and Miroslav are about to settle. Add ”Sword of the sword” and increase the number of soul-eating targets besides Luna Maria-I want to bring at least that much before picking up an attacker from home.

I had a rough plan.

By the way, if I hide the name, the aim of Onigashima will be directed to Drag Note, who ”slayed Jinbo” as a matter of course.

Despite the reputation of the famous Raiko, if you are targeted by a superior fantasy swordsman, there will be no disadvantage.

In that regard, I'm sorry to impose a danger, but the Duke himself laughed and said, ”I don't care.”

In the first place, on the side of the duke, Onigashima was the one that set the stage. There's no other option than a hostile to those who have cursed their daughters and have suffered for more than a year.

Furthermore, if my name appears as a person who has defeated Jinbo, that does not eliminate the hostility of the Empire towards the Duke.

For the Adastera Empire, which plans to invade Canary, Dragnot is still an obstacle.

The Duke is targeted by the Empire, whether or not I give her name. So my concern is useless-that was the Duke's speech.

It was decided that I would return to Ishka.

Of course, when it comes, I'll always be on the Crow Solas and run to the royal capital at any time.

When the Duke told her at the dinner table, the first to react was Claudia, her second daughter.
