Chapter 40 (1/2)

“Crystal?”

Kim Sujeong was dumbfounded. She wanted to ask him, ‘Why did you show up here?’

However, Kerenos’ response was a bit quicker. “Why are you here?”

“That’s what I want to ask. Why are you...”

They both had question marks above their heads while the soldier next to them sweated. He was nervous when he saw that Kerenos knew the prisoner. The soldier started to justify himself. “Knight Captain, she messed up the flower garden owned by the lord. In addition, she tried to destroy the sacred windmill Dimorte!”

...Dimorte? What was that? She didn’t know what it was but it wasn’t the main thing. ”What are you talking about? I was just making a garland in the flower garden! You framed me. Now?”

“Shut up! It is clear that you were trying to assassinate the lord! You must be an enemy spy!”

“No, what is this person?”

It was ridiculous. She knew he was supercilious but she hadn’t expected it to be to this extent. Kim Sujeong stared at the soldier who brought her here but his face was still covered with an iron sheet.

“Stop.” Kerenos declared in a low voice. ”Release her.”

“Huh?!” The soldier was upset.

Kerenos continued. “I accompanied this woman back to Windia so there are no doubts about her. Release her.”

“But...”

“I won’t hold you accountable.”

The soldier’s face reddened when Kerenos said the soldier wouldn’t be held accountable. He opened the prison door with a key. The door opened with a harsh sound and the first thing Kim Sujeong did when she came out of the prison was...

Baang!

She punched the soldier’s face.

“Ack!”

The soldier screamed as he was hit in the face and rolled across the ground.

“Phew, I feel refreshed.”

It wasn’t powerful because her strength stat was low but it was still quite painful because he was caught off guard. Kim Sujeong looked at him and smiled.

“This woman!”

“Stop.”

“Captain!”

“Stop here. I won’t hold you accountable for arresting this woman due to your loyalty to Windia. However, if you beat this woman, I will hold you personally accountable because it isn’t related to Windia.”

“Ugh.”

The soldier clenched his fists and trembled. Kim Sujeong saw this and swallowed her complaints.

“Bah! Serves you right. Me~rong.” Poke out tongue.

The face of the soldier was red. He was staring fiercely like he would run over straight away. He glanced at Kerenos and swallowed his anger, but Kim Sujeong was also furious. “What?! Why are you clenching your fists? Do you want to hit me? Hit me! Hit me!!”

“Stop it and follow me.” Kerenos ordered.

“Understood. Bah!” Thus, she followed Kerenos. However, Cer was still growling in her arms.

“Grrrrr...”

“Why? Do you also want revenge?”

“Kwal!”

“Understood. Go.”

Cer was put down and started to run toward the soldier. Kim Sujeong looked at Cer’s back and burst out laughing.

“Puhahaha. Did you see it? Cer is really jjang.” [1]

“Jjang? What is that?”

“The best. Kukuk.”

She was holding her belly and laughing when she heard a scream.

“Kuaaaaaack!”

It seemed that Cer had succeeded. Cer returned with a great dignity. She was smiling like she was satisfied with the mission.

“Kwal!”

Meanwhile, the spider-roasting project of the Loch Mountains was steadily underway. I slaughtered another group of spiders and bit the roasted legs. I had now gathered 832 cobwebs.

“Hrmm. Chew chew. I have almost collected all the cobwebs needed and my current level...”
