79. Family Reorganization (4)

Lydia’s eyes became round like a cat’s.

She stared at the grapes I handed her.

“Wow, this is something only lovers would do…” .”

Even when threatening the archdukes of the empire.

Her pupils, which had been calm even when facing the Thorman family, started shaking.

“Yes, they seem to be lovers, but their actions would never be so perfect.”

I looked at Hakim’s guards in turn and spoke silently.

Then, the princess followed my gaze and glanced toward the target.

The look in his eyes is quite suspicious.

The princess swallowed her saliva when she saw those eyes.

“Ugh….”

Lydia looked ashamed.

Then she opened her eyes slightly.

Her pretty lips slowly began to open.

A transparent string hanging between sharp fangs.

She cut the string and inserted a plump grape.

The flesh that settles with the tongue when gently spread.

Only then did the princess purse her lips.

She then turned her head away.

“You’re eating well-.”

I glanced at Hakim’s guards with a gentle smile.

Fortunately, doubts were dispelled.

They had their faces down and were absorbed in their meal.

“Phew, I’m glad. “Thanks to you, it seems like they’ve taken interest.”

She turned her head leisurely.

And, the moment I looked at the princess again.

“Yes… How dare you….”

The princess was looking up at me with a very resentful expression, her face turning red.

She was clearly covering her face with a robe, but she seemed quite upset.

“I had no choice. “Thanks to you, you didn’t get caught, right?”

I shrugged my shoulders and laughed it off.

However, the princess warned in a fierce voice.

“You must take responsibility for your actions today….”

A leopard cub growling.

Still, thanks to that lively atmosphere, they were able to look like a perfect couple.

“Of course, I will take responsibility and bring Hakim to him.”

She closed her eyes and answered leisurely.

Finally, the moment came again.

“Now, you too, hurry up and fulfill your duties.”

This time, a grape arrived in front of my lips.

‘Is this what taking responsibility means?’

A plump grape caught between the white thumb and index finger.

The princess stood up from her chair and held her hand straight out to me.

“What are you doing? If this continues, her cover will be exposed-.”

A strange eye smile that tells you to eat somewhere if you can.

The intention is to make you feel the same shame as yourself.

I responded with a chuckle.

And then, the princess’s finger was thrust into her face.

“… !”

Lydia was taken aback by my lips getting closer.

“Now, wait a minute…” .”

My fingers twitched as if I had never thought that I would receive and eat a grape.

Meanwhile, I swallowed the grapes the princess gave me.

And, at that moment.

Her fingers grazed my lips and escaped.

Lydia felt her moist touch.

She hurriedly grabbed her finger and turned her body around.

“It was a delicious meal.”

The princess turned her head and made no reply.

She is just clenching her interlocking fingers.

“Your Highness… ? Are you okay?”

I raised her face and asked.

However, Lydia lowered her robe and just muttered to herself.

“I’ve reached it….”

When she didn’t respond in particular, I looked away.

And then, I looked at Hakim’s knights who were about to get up from their seats.

I watched them leaving closely.

Then, it was time to go completely outside.

“Please wait here for a moment. “I’ll get it right away.”

I also got up and headed outside.

The streets were crowded with people.

However, even though it was crowded, it was not possible to hide their mana.

Three people sitting at the table.

At least two of them were definitely knight-level knights.

I headed to the back of the building where I could feel the mana.

And, unlike the street, we came across a very quiet back alley.

Dense mana that can be clearly felt.

I approached there secretly.

Then….

“It’s finally come out.”

A little while ago, a hooded man and his group who were looking at me and Lydia suspiciously appeared.

One of them is the escape route for me.

The remaining one spewed out a stream of green air from his hand and prepared to attack.

“How did you know I was following you?”

I asked them with a deadpan expression.

The hooded man snorted and answered.

“The woman you accompanied was under a strong spell to reduce awareness.”

The knights probably didn’t know.

I rolled my eyes and glanced at the magician.

‘Is he a high-ranking shaman from the East? .’

Inherently, shamans can feel mana through energy.

So you noticed.

“Okay, since I’m caught, I’ll tell you straight.”

I silently nodded to them.

And then, his black eyes flashed and he spoke.

“Guide me to where the Hakim you serve is located. “It would be better if you showed him too.”

A proud command.

The three knights who heard the command looked at each other incredulously.

Then, he soon started laughing heartily.

“What a funny guy.”

“If you had known that we were Hakim’s guards, you should have brought at least 10 people to fight us.”

The hooded man and the guy blocking the retreat simultaneously took out sharp daggers and curved swords.

And then, the shaman concentrated all his strength on the bracelet he was wearing.

“I was already planning on taking you with me. “Half to death!”

The hooded man raised his curved sword.

Then, he gave orders to the knights and shamans who blocked the retreat.

“Capture him alive. “Whoever succeeds first will be greatly rewarded by the prince!”

An order to maim.

As if responding to the command, the shaman shoots a green poisonous needle.

The guy with the dagger swung the dagger and aimed at my back.

A joint attack with quite high proficiency.

As expected, they are the close associates of the former ruler of the East.

However, it is only to that extent.

Avoid the fast-velocity sting by rotating your body.

And, the moment when the other guy’s dagger was about to reach me.

He pulled out the long sword he was wearing at his waist and blocked it.

I hit the guy’s dagger with only one hand.

“hehehe… !”

I thought the guy who felt the overwhelming difference in power would be embarrassed.

However, the guy started spewing out unpleasant green mana from the dagger.

“Stupid guy… ! “Did you think this was just a dagger?!”

A foul smell rose from the tip of his sword and struck his nose.

“Is it acid poison?”

A dagger coated with acid poison that corrupts the opponent’s weapon.

It is a kind of artifact.

“That’s right, you really didn’t think about this much when dealing with us?”

The guy swung the dagger without hesitation.

And he beat my blade excitedly, trying to corrode it.

But….

“It seems like Hakim has a lot of money.”

The guy immediately frowned.

“You’re giving artifacts to these weaklings.”

No matter how hard I hit it, there wasn’t even a scratch on my long sword.

“What, what…?” “Why is the weather fine?”

The embarrassed guy hurriedly backed away.

However, maybe it was because I was excitedly tapping my sword.

I had already reached the range of my long sword.

“My sword is also quite expensive.”

I swung Irina’s long sword raised with one hand.

And then, he threw his sword energy at the guy who was retreating and split his body in half.

Quung….

The shaman’s eyes widened when he saw his companion lying on the floor.

Then, he immediately came to his senses, stretched out both his hands, and fired hundreds of poisonous stings at me.

A combination of wind blowing magic and poisonous needles.

As if responding to this, I extended my sword toward the tent hanging nearby.

From Noble mtl dot com

I swung the sword around and swung the wrapped tent towards the poisonous needle.

 ̄ ̄ ̄!!

The needles, which were sharp enough to pierce anything, pattered into the unfolding tent.

Like a cactus.

“What kind of technology is that…?” !”

The guy was struggling with both his hands as if he had no more sting to throw.

Then, the moment when we put our hands together to unleash a new magic.

I cut off one of my beautifully placed hands.

“Khaaa!!”

A shaman crying with his arms cut off.

The guy collapsed to the ground, complaining of his pain.

“Stop the bleeding. “I’ll leave one alive.”

I shook off the long sword stained with his dirty blood.

And then, he looked at the last guy who was leading his men.

“….”

The guy who made eye contact raised the corner of his mouth.

Then he began to clap leisurely.

“That’s great.”

The guy took off his hood.

Then he tied it to one of his arms and said.

“If you have that level of skill, you are qualified to meet Mr. Hakim.”

The guy gestured to me.

“Follow me, I will guide you to him.”

It was like a test to check my skills.

I spoke in an exasperated voice.

“Is this crazy?”

“… ?”

When I snorted, he frowned.

“He is trying to drive his men to the death and escape alone.”

Irina’s long sword was raised.

And then, he spoke to the fallen shaman while aiming at him.

“Hey.”

“Yes… ?”

“Do you know Hakim’s hideout?”

He held onto my torn arm and looked up at me with uncertainty.

And he seemed to have realized what I meant, so he quickly nodded.

“Yes… I know!”

“Yes.”

Guidelines have also been secured.

He rushed towards the others, leaving behind a golden afterimage.

“… !”

Then the guy runs away in a hurry.

Whenever I got into form, he would check my skills and then run away.

Then, as I saw myself getting closer and closer, I gave up on running away.

Then, he unexpectedly turned his body and swung his curved sword.

The guy’s weapon was also quite sharp, as if it were an artifact.

However, at least it was distributed to subordinates.

Compared to the imperial treasure given by the princess, it was just a twig.

Kaaang!!

I swung the treasured sword and cut off the curved sword and his arm at the same time.

“Ugh… !!”

Black blood boiled from the guy’s mouth.

However, he somehow held back and escaped until the end.

“Huh… Huh… !!”

The guy lost one arm and lost his balance, stumbling like crazy.

The moment when I was trying so hard to get out onto the street.

The golden sword energy penetrated the guy’s neck.

Quung… !!

I nudged the guy’s head with my foot.

And, hiding in the dark shadows, he turned his head.

Fortunately, the guy stopped the bleeding in his arm with a spell.

He was looking straight at me with a trembling face.

“Follow me.”

The shaman stood up staggeringly.

Then he crouched down and followed me to the main street.

However, we soon had no choice but to stop.

Lydia wearing a black robe followed calmly from behind.

“Did you catch them?”

“I left only one person alive.”

The shaman witnessed the princess.

Then, she quickly began to get down on her knees.

“Woe, Her Royal Highness….”

Lydia looked down coldly at the shaman who bowed deeply.

“I heard that among the shamans, there was one who was pushed out of the ranks and escaped… “It was you.”

“Please forgive me….”

The man, whose one arm was blown off, hit his head on the floor.

Even her body is shaking, as if she is well aware of her charisma.

At this, the princess crossed her arms alone and spoke.

“Raise your head.”

“….”

The shaman tried to raise his trembling face.

And then, I faced the princess’s merciful eyes.

“Your sins may be great, but the sight of you showing such remorse touched the heart of her original wife.”

Lydia bent her knees.

She said, patting the guy on the shoulder.

“So, if you guide me to Hakim’s hideout, I will not only forgive you but also consider reinstatement.”

“Are you sure…?” ?”

The shaman seemed to be moved, and his eyes grew hot.

“Okay, so don’t worry too much about the mistakes of the past.”

“Thank you…. Thank you very much!!”

The guy stood up.

And then, he bowed low and swore that he would never betray again.

‘Indeed….’

I looked at Lydia blankly.

Originally, in her past life, Lydia was famous for being merciless towards traitors.

However, perhaps because I have experienced the lives of the people in this life, I feel like I have become quite miserable.

While she was thinking that, the princess turned her head as if she felt my gaze.

And she asked with a prim expression.

“What is it?”

“I thought it was surprising that you forgave so easily.”

The princess snorted after hearing what I said.

“If he acts as a guide, even Hakim will treat him as a traitor, so of course he won’t follow me, right?”

The princess spoke with her ruby eyes sparkling with intelligence.

“With this, I have gained a perfect loyal subject.”

“As expected, you are wise.”

I looked down at her happily.

But that smile quickly disappeared.

“And there is a guy who has committed even more unforgivable behavior than that guy just now.”

Because the princess looked up at me with a very uncomfortable expression.

“Yes… ?”

“Oh, how dare you not put your saliva on the princess’s body! “Did you think you would get away with that?”

Lydia huffed with an indignant expression.

However, to me, it only looked like a young wild animal that kept saying ‘nyana’.

“No… “Didn’t the princess give me some grapes to eat?”

“It’s noisy! “Then, I should have only eaten grapes. Who told you to lick my fingers?”

The princess cut me off.

And she went forward alone and made a request.

“If you don’t catch Hakim, I’ll lock you up in my palace, so you’ll think so!”

I got goosebumps on my back after hearing her cruel words.

Because….

Because the princess didn’t tell me how long she would be imprisoning me.
