Vol 2 Chapter 91 (2/2)
“Yeah, I’ for deathSo, let’s turn the tables and snag a victoryWe can grandly break through the encirclement”
Chris waited for my words while sweat travelled across his cheeks
“You must protect the shi+pNow is the time to make a display of the swordsmanshi+p you’re so boastful of”
Chris seemed to take offensive and objected
“I don’t re”
“Your speech and conduct go hand in hand with boastingShow us the results of your effortsI think that the skills you’ve been building up have led to this dayI don’t plan on dyingYou want to live too, right?”
After I said that, Chris hung his head, pondered──then raised his head back up
“──RightI want to see Marie’s smile”
The nerve he had to slip that in at the end
Were those guys not brainwashed by her?
What was so good about her?
Once Chris opened the jail cell with a key, I got outI reacheddown
“I’ll need your help”
“O, okay! I’ll do my best!”
Olivia, getting up and wiping her tears, stiffened her facial expressionIt see Anjie
I definitely preferred her over Marie
Chris should come to his senses
While thinking as such, Chris placed a hand over his chest and muttered
“Marie, I will see your s face once moreFor that, please lend me power”
In his hand was a charm
“Is that yours?”
“This? I bought it at the festivalIt see about it now, perhaps it’s a good omen”
It was a small charm of a shi+eld and sword
I smiled
It was a suitable item for him to have
“Yep, it ot the best of luck”
“I, Is that so? It’s a little e for you to say that”
Ew, don’t get embarrassed and blushI wouldn’t kno to react
Ser from the principality descended onto the luxury liner’s deck
He was a very well-dressed man who introduced hiant 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 irl 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 frohtPeople 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 aboutthe name of a duke household, Garret’s eyes ide open, but he then ihter of a duke household would be aboard──the kingdoo on a trip without guards”
Garrett opened his arht
“Excellent! Letyourself! Now, co 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 o! 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 ht was focused up on Garrett
“What a rebellious attitudeNow, let’s give the kingdom’s nobles their first jobPunish this personC’ ainst uys!”
“Are you going to o to waste? You should shut up!”
The ones pinning me doere Anjie’s followersAs they struck hout my uys 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 forof 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, butwith 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 one to waste because of you”
“You piece of trash”
“Hey, sailorsToss this guy into a jail cell”
The sailors surrounded me
──These daned to be placed on a huge e airshi+p, was surrounded by ar 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 o to ith the national power of a principality? This matter won’t end with just a skirdo difference between the two countries
The Holfault Kingdo 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 shtThere is certainly a disparity in national strengthHowever, have you not noticed the view outside?”
(So they really plan on using oing to win against the kingdom with that alone?”
“Yeah, we’ll winAs for why──”
Hertrude was interrupted by a hness, the es is ht”
Anjie became tenseThe reason why she introduced herself and stepped foras to let the luxury liner go
“So you’ll set the 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 thehts 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 codoer 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 withon 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 selfIncrying women had irritated me
However, wasn’t it powerful when a person cried for someone else?
That was the conclusion I caet 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 helpthat 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 towardsht, 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 anyht 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 alassesHe 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 sohed scornfully
“──Don’t wanna do that”
Chris squinted, but didn’t criticizeof 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 definitelyat as outside, Chris must have known that he wouldn’t win if it was just hiI 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 reed 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 inning 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”
How stubborn
It was sad how much more of a cluhting 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 incoht 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”
“Yeah, I’ for deathSo, let’s turn the tables and snag a victoryWe can grandly break through the encirclement”
Chris waited for my words while sweat travelled across his cheeks
“You must protect the shi+pNow is the time to make a display of the swordsmanshi+p you’re so boastful of”
Chris seemed to take offensive and objected
“I don’t reo hand in hand with boastingShow us the results of your effortsI think that the skills you’ve been building up have led to this dayI don’t plan on dyingYou want to live too, right?”
