Chapter 91
Smile
A er from the principality descended onto the luxury liner’s deck
He was a very well-dressed man who introduced himself as Earl Garrett
He had a blatant arrogant attitude towards us, and he spoke while caressing his own moustacheHe was slender, and was awith an unpleasant impression
“Children of baron households and above will be treated as prisoners of warWe have no interest in the children of knight households and belowThe saoes for demi-human slavesOf course, we also don’t need the sailors of this airshi+p”
While a majority of the people despaired, the students in the advanced class were relieved
Airls stood up for her exclusive servant
“W, wait! Spare my exclusive servantHe’s my favorite”
Garrett replied to the girl with a condescending attitude
“Then you can go doith your loverIt’s of no concern if we have one or two less hostages”
The despairing girls closed their aze away from their exclusive servants
RightPeople valued their own lives above all else
I continued being silentWhile I was thinking about whether there would be a ruckus once they entered inside to seize everyone──
“──Wha?!”
By the time I was surprised, it was already too late
Anjie stepped in front of Garrett
“What is it, young girl?”
Anjie took a confident attitude despite Garrett looking down on her
“──I araveDo you know about my family’s name?”
Hearing the name of a duke household, Garret’s eyes ide open, but he then immediately smiled
“I would have never thought that the daughter of a duke household would be aboard──the kingdoo on a trip without guards”
Garrett opened his arht
“Excellent! Letyourself! Now, come here”
He was going to lead Anjie away
My foot took one step forward by instinct, but at thatblow to the back
I fell down, and was held down by soer welled up inside me
“Let go! Is this who you really are?!”
Garrett looked at me in displeasure while I was pinned down
“How noisyWho are you?”
Anjie looked at my face, and then closed her eyes
“He’s my friend”
Anjie did not ht
“To think that you would have a friend”
Garrett walked up to me and then trampled down on my headHis smile revealed his malicious intent
My sight was focused up on Garrett
“What a rebellious attitudeNow, let’s give the kingdom’s nobles their first jobPunish this personC’mon, hurry up”
Thereupon, the boys were holding ainst me
I resisted, but was suppressed in response
“Y, you guys!”
“Are you going to o to waste? You should shut up!”
The ones pinning me doere Anjie’s followersAs they struck hout my mouth, and the taste of blood intensified
“Even so, you guys are──”
“This is Milady’s decision!”
Upon which, Anjie shouted
“Stop it already!──Stop”
Garrett stroked his ers
“Oh, that’s not the attitude to take when asking sohter”
Anjie did this for my sake
“Please stopI beg of you”
Garrett’s mouth warped into the shape of a crescent, like that of theloudly
“Unfortunately, I don’t want to! Well then, you’re co with meAh, you people, hly”
Garrett then leftAll I could atch as he kidnapped Anjie
As I was being strongly beaten,to help Anjie, but my arm was trampled on
Anjie was negotiating with Garrett
“I alone ao”
Garrett stroked histhe question
“So you’ll offer yourself if it ht just cryWell, let’s take our time to talk about that matter on the principality’s airshi+p”
Olivia raised her voice against Anjie being taken away
“Anjie!”
The surrounding sub-race people pinned her down
“Anjie, don’t go!”
Olivia was the only one raising a voice
Anjie turned back and
“──Livia, thank you”
After saying that, Anjie was brought to a boat and taken away by the er and his cohorts
I kicked fiercely and rolled on top of the deck
When I was pinned down by my abdomen, Olivia rushed over and stood up for me
“Leon!”
The boys and the exclusive servants looked down at htly, they bore too much resentment
“Everything could have gone to waste because of you”
“You piece of trash”
“Hey, sailorsToss this guy into a jail cell”
The sailors surrounded me
──These damn people
There was an airshi+p designed to be placed on a huge monster
Anjie, brought to such a strange airshi+p, was surrounded by arhts
While being cautious, she met with Princess Hertrude
“It’s been a while, AnjelicaWe had only been in a relationshi+p where we siain like this feels a bit nostalgic”
Anjie made a fearless smile
Anjie made a fearless smile
“Do you really plan to go to ith the national power of a principality? This matter won’t end with just a skirmish”
The Holfault Kingdo difference between the two countries
The Holfault Kingdoth
Knowing that, Anjie displayed a sense of leniencyHowever, she was a bit frantic on the inside
(Just what kind of goal do these people have? What do they want to do by attacking with a fleet of this degree despite the difference in national power?)
Hertrude smiled towards Anjie
“RightThere is certainly a disparity in national strengthHowever, have you not noticed the view outside?”
(So they really plan on using monsters?)
“So you’re accodom with that alone?”
“Yeah, we’ll winAs for why──”
Hertrude was interrupted by a man of nobility who seemed to wield authority
“Your Highness, the es is more important”
“Oh right”
Anjie became tenseThe reason why she introduced herself and stepped foras to let the luxury liner go
“So you’ll set them free with my surrender?”
“What a funny thing to say, AnjelicaDid Garrett ever once claio?”
Anjie closed her eyes in response to what Hertrude said
(So they’re going to take the baron children and above as hostage, just like they originally planned)
However──
“Here’s what I thinkPerhaps you alone are sufficient for taking hostage”
When Anjie opened her eyes, she looked at Hertrude’s face in surprise
“──Wha! Y, you fool! They’re the children of barons and above! Are you thinking about killing thee?!”
The knights turned their swords towards her as she startingan uproar
Hertrude spoke indifferently
“There were only two people who resisted when you were taking away, right? How cruel such spineless people areThey are not worthy of being nobles”
“W, what are you talking──”
“Anjelica, I will show you everything that is to codom shall perish──”
A er headed towards the airshi+p with the academy’s students to send a notice
There was a prison built within the luxury liner
After being thrown in there, I sat on the floor with
Sobbing on the other side of the iron bars was Olivia
She begged for my release, but it was futile since the students, ly opposed itThe students in the acade harsher towards me than the principality itself
“Don’t cry anymore”
“But, Anjie…we couldn’t save AnjieI can’t even get you out of here, LeonI’m just pathetic”
What a detestable, timid person she was──or at least, that’s what I would have thought had this been my former selfIn my former life, I hated these kinds of characters
Watching crying women had irritated me
However, wasn’t it powerful when a person cried for someone else?
That was the conclusion I came to as of this point
There was h
There was h
“You get tattered like that when opposing the unreasonableLook, your hair’s in a mess, and aren’t soet injured when you do so others don’t want you to do”
Olivia acted violently, trying to help me
Due to that, she was restrained──and during that interval, she got into a fight with one of the girlsHer opponent was one of Anjie’s followers
Olivia, as the only one opposing her, becaues
She see about Anjie, and also about stopping what they were doing towardsme
She norht, and yet she did the impossible for our sake──she really helped out
I wouldn’t knoould happen if I otherwise had to ask Luxon for help
“──I’”
“You’ve worked hardYou don’t need to cry anymore”
Staring at the ceiling, I thought about the future
What should I do? Bring Olivia along and save Anjie? However, there would be a lot of problems if that happened
Upon which, I heard the sounds of hurrying footstepsThe footsteps belonged to Chris
Chris, with a look of grief, ca Olivia
“Baltfault──just a while ago, a er from the principality arrivedThey said that Anjelica alone was enough for taking hostage, and that we should prepare ourselvesThey’ll start attacking in an hour, and so it seems that in the end, we’ll die as nobles”
It seemed the principality didn’t need us
“And so? What am I supposed to do?”
Chris took off his glassesHe had a face of resolve
“I want you to lend a handIt seems that there are six units of armor in this shi+pI want you and I to buy some time until the shi+p escapes”
I laughed scornfully
“──Don’t wanna do that”
Chris squinted, but didn’t criticize me
“I beg of you to reconsiderWe can’t let everyone die hereYou can even just guard the airshi+pI’ll remain behind and buy some time”
Stayin behind in this location definitely meant death
Looking at as outside, Chris must have known that he wouldn’t win if it was just him
“Leon”
Olivia looked atI could do
It was scary how pure and beautiful her eyes wereIt was as if she could see through everything, and having
“Don’t look atfrom me? In the first place, do you think I would help the students who abandoned Anjie? You hFurthermore, they’ve beaten me upI say let everyone sink”
Chris unexpectedly agreed while I was bad them
“Yeah, I knowPerhaps powerless people like us should sink and fall not into the ground, but the seaHowever, I still want to ask of youThis is the only e can have a chanceI beg of you, please help us”
I slowly got up in front of Chris, as bowing his head
“──I refuse”
Chris looked up in sorrow
“I’m sorry, I’ve been a nuisance”
When Chris was about to leave, I stopped him
One should always hear someone out until the end
“IdiotListen to all of what I have to sayIn the first place, there’s probably no way to escape given that we’re surroundedEven if you stay behind, you’ll be surroundedIt seeht me”
Speaking in ter to be checkmated
Chris stopped and turned around
“Then what should we do?! Do you have some kind of plan for a situation like this? If you plan on escaping by yourself, then to hell with youI’ up”
Chris stopped and turned around
“Then what should we do?! Do you have some kind of plan for a situation like this? If you plan on escaping by yourself, then to hell with youI’ up”
How stubborn
It was sad how much more of a clumsy idiot he was than me
“There’s no point if you’re fighting by yourselfIt wouldn’t work either if I was there with youThat being the case, our only option is have everyone involvedThe fools who abandoned Anjie should take responsibilityListen, I’Want help? I know thatIf people want to live, then everyone has to give it everything they’ve got”
Chris rejected my opinion
“That’s iet upBesides, in times like these, the only one I can depend on is you, BaltfaultDo you understand?”
Chris was trying to say “The others won’t be helpful”
I strongly agreed, but there was no choice other than putting such incompetent people to work
I brought my face closer to the iron barsChris did the same as well, and our noses nearly touched
“What we can do is resolve ourselves and break through the frontThere’s no other way”
“The front? You must be stupid”
