46 – Participation of the former warriors’ party

On the other hand, Emilia wasn’t the only one who heard the story of Horon in the Eritre Empire.

Princess Lydia, who is fleeing from the destruction of the kingdom of Jeremiah, also heard the news,

She had just given birth and was packing her things…

The prince, who was working at her palace, hurriedly entered Lydia’s room after receiving Lydia’s note.

“Lydia! What the hell is going on? How long has it been since she gave birth to a child? Go to the Kingdom of Horon?”

“You heard it too. A necromancer appeared… Then the hero will surely head there.”

“What are you going to do there?”

“What are you doing! There’s only one seat left in the warrior’s party! If I go to the kingdom of Horon in advance and wait for you… They will definitely accept me.”

“Did you forget the humiliation you suffered the last time you went there?”

“That was then… Now you have to deal with the necromancer. Then you will definitely need a wizard.”

As far as Lydia knows, there are only half elves and Irene, who mainly use ice magic, in the current warrior party.

When dealing with zombies or ghouls, fire attribute magic is as effective as divine magic, so he was sure that he would use himself as a wizard.

Of course, since there is an old event, even if you don’t accept it as an official warrior party, if you work at least temporarily and build friendship again,

She was Lydia, who thought that her chances of officially entering the party with one remaining seat would go up.

“Will King Alfonso stay still?”

“Don’t worry about him. I already gave her a divorce notice.”

In fact, Lydia gave notice of her divorce to King Alfonso, who was the king of the ruined kingdom of Jeremiah and her husband.

It was after the letter with the divorce notice had already passed into the hands of the king who was fighting for the revival of the kingdom somewhere on the battlefield.

“What!?”

“Anyway, you’re the faking king of a kingdom that has already been destroyed, so why do you maintain a marital relationship with someone like that because you feel sorry for me?”

“Then…”

“I’m going to change into a warrior.”

As Lydia was tidying up her clothes, as if she had been caught in her delusion, She

She looked up at the ceiling She was dreaming…

“Thinking back, I think she would rather be an honorable warrior’s wife, even if she roams the continent, than a queen who is tired of being confined in the palace.”

“But you did that last time too. He asked me to meet the hero again and save the kingdom of Jeremiah.”

“Even if the kingdom of Jeremiah comes back to life, you know how old King Alfonso is. He’s 20 years older than me! On the other hand, the hero is about the same age as me, and I think a hero’s wife would be more romantic than a queen of a small kingdom.”

The prince seemed uneasy at Lydia’s appearance like that, but considering her situation, he thought the probability of Lydia’s words being the same seemed very low.

“Don’t worry. Brother. If I go back to the warriors’ party, I’ll save our empire somehow, and I’ll make it my brother’s followers.”

The prince, who had been cold-hearted about the word follower until now, also had bean pods in his eyes and imagined a warrior who would become his follower in his head.

If that is the case, not only will I be able to keep the 2nd prince in check much easier, but I will be able to rise to the position of emperor sooner or later with his halo.

“My brother is preparing for a divorce from Emilia.”

“Yes. I’m done recruiting the nobles around me.”

“Perhaps the hero will come over to us if I say that her brother and I kicked out Emilia.”

I thought everything would go smoothly according to Lydia’s plan, but…

But there was one thing that bothered the crown prince.

“Lydia, what about the baby?”

“Your brother is also true! I’m going to join the warrior party right now, but is that baby important? I found a nanny and left it with her, so she will take care of it.”

“You want to leave?”

“Of course not. And as long as I can go to the hero’s party and reunite with the hero, I’ll send the child to the baby’s father.”

“What?”

“Would a hero like to see a baby with no blood mixed with him?”

“……”

In Lydia’s heart, it wasn’t that Lydia who had been fond of a newborn baby and loved enough to break her heart just a few days ago.

She was only seen as a heartless wife and mother who abandoned both her husband and children in a fit of power.

*****

A refugee camp on the outskirts of the Elven Kingdom.

Iluen, who has been listed as a camp manager by order of the queen, spends his days drinking every day to soothe his boring life.

In the meantime…

There is a sudden good news…

“Is that true!!?”

“Yes. They say a necromancer has appeared in Horon Kingdom!”

“Then the warrior party will go there too!!?”

“So far…”

Ard, a subordinate of Iluen and the leader of her knights, was making a report while kneeling down on one knee and bowing to her.

Iluen didn’t know how to sit down as she jumped up from her seat and focused her attention on the story of her warrior’s party.

“No.. I’m sure the warrior party will move that way…”

“…..”

“Good! Let’s move quickly too!”

While Iluen was still awake, she went to the closet in the barracks to pack her clothes and gear.

In the process, she almost collapsed several times, but Ard, who quickly approached her, helped her and started packing again.

“Princess. What are you going to do with the refugee camp…”

“Is this the problem right now? What if the one seat left in the warrior’s party is full while I’m doing this here?”

“But, isn’t this place guarded by the Queen’s orders? If you leave without permission, you may hear a clear sound.”

At Ard’s words, Iluen hesitated for a moment, and then she reconsidered her purpose for coming here.

A refugee camp set up to prevent human refugees from flooding into the elven kingdom…

It was clear that the queen would be very angry if she left this place as is.

“And now, the Queen is focusing on the elven forest fire and the half-elf village massacre during her investigation…”

“There are no witnesses and there is no evidence anyway, so what is there to worry about?”

“But, princess. But just in case, it’s better to watch the situation in the kingdom from here in case of an emergency rather than having a party for the warriors…”

Aard has been watching closely the situation in the Elven Kingdom since before.

I felt suspicious that the queen, unlike before, was strangely obsessed with the massacre of the half-elf village, which was so old that there were no witnesses and no evidence.

As if…

Should I say that they dig too tenaciously, as if trying to drive out Princess Illuen…

“Are you crazy? If the seats in the warrior’s party are full, you won’t be able to enter anymore. It’s enough for me to join the hero’s party for the elven kingdom.”

More importantly, Iluen lacked awareness about the matter.

She had no guilt or insecurity about what she had done,

Even now, sometimes, when he was drunk, he would proudly talk about the high elves and explain the race of the high elves for over two hours.

“Princess, then please let me stay here too.”

“What?”

“I will keep a close eye on the situation in the kingdom, and if something happens, I will inform the princess right away.”

At Ad’s words, Iluen expressed discomfort, and she didn’t seem happy…

She seemed a little offended when she heard that Ard, who helped her with her every move, wouldn’t follow her.

“If you don’t go, who will give directions and drive the wagon? And you, who are bright in information, should go with me. Don’t you know at what timing it would be good for me to join the warrior’s party?”

“But, Princess, don’t you know well because you saw the hero’s reaction last time? Even if the princess leaves this time… I think it will be hard to see good results.”

“You have to go to know that. There aren’t any party members who are good at ranged attacks, reconnaissance, or exploration in the hero’s party yet, and how do I know if the lowly half-elf is waiting for me because he’s already fallen in love?”

Of course, Ard was thinking differently from what Iluen said…

It is because he is said to be a fairly high-ranking Elementalist, as well as the relationship between the hero and the half-elf that he saw in the Elf Village that day.

Rumors from his subordinates say that he was strong enough to enter the great fire of the elven forest alone…

That was very reluctant.

“I don’t know how that half-elf seduced the champion, but I’ll go and show you the excellence of our high elves this time.”

“Princess…”

“Stop talking nonsense and get ready to leave.”

“Then can’t we leave at least a minimum of security here?”

“Why? After we leave anyway, the guards will come out of the elven kingdom on their own.”

“But just in case… the queen might be angry…”

“Sheesh.. Do whatever you want.”

Iluen started to pack hard again,

Ard said her goodbyes to her, who didn’t even look at her with her head bowed, and slipped out of her barracks.

I don’t know if the Elf Queen will understand Illuen’s will, but

Aard has left talented people here to manage the camp and subordinates who are good at acquiring information to deliver the kingdom’s news, in order to provide at least a minimum insurance.
