My Fiancee Was the Villainess of This World

43 – The one who embraces the sun (3)

Bessie, also known as the Archmage, walks while holding on to her witch hat, snooping around like a commoner from the countryside to Seoul. Distanced

Currently, the eastern region is under a curfew due to the outbreak of Lunaris.

Even if you’re threatened by me, you’re probably afraid of disobeying that order.

He was like a petit bourgeois guy who really didn’t fit his nickname.

“Why, why are you looking at me like that… !”

“What is so frightening about a woman who is called the Grand Wizard standing shoulder to shoulder with the Knight Commander, and who is the head of a family with the body of a woman? Didn’t you swear on the honor of the imperial family that I would take all responsibility?”

“The Archmage is a nickname created by the bluff of court mages, and I am a nobleman….”

My magic was evaluated as worse than that of a 10-year-old commoner, and I intentionally kept away from magic, so I didn’t know much about it, but there were circumstances like that.

So you’re saying that it’s actually the same thing as chaff?

That’s right.

Somehow, it was said that the title of a great wizard was radiating from his body.

As I expected, it was an abbreviation for coming to Seoul from a rural area, Bessie, the nobility of nylon.

hahahahaha!

Thinking of that, I was walking on the road from the main castle to Biryonggwan.

Priscilla was standing at the corner of the road she had to cross in order to head to Biryonggwan.

I made eye contact with the guy who was caressing the necklace I gave him with an anxious expression.

The guy who made eye contact with me had a bright expression like a puppy welcoming its owner.

But her face hardened in an instant.

Seeing my condition, no matter how bad it looked, glared at Bessie so-and-so next to me with a terrifying gaze.

“Oh no?!”

Even if it’s chaff, he’s called the Archmage, so he should be able to easily subdue one or two noble ladies….

“He is a helper.”

After I said that, I moved towards Priscilla.

Then Priscilla naturally gave way to me and started walking a couple of paces behind me.

It was unexpected.

She was the one who subconsciously showed such hostility because she was obviously worried about me.

So I thought she would stop me while making a fuss and tell me to go to the priest.

Turning her gaze at him, Priscilla lowered her head slightly and opened her mouth.

“… You said watch it.”

She was still a quick-witted guy.

“Yes, watch.”

Whoa….

Bessie so-and-so seemed visibly relieved, probably because Priscilla quietly followed us.

“Isn’t the nickname of the great wizard crying?”

Bessie So-and-so shook her head with a slightly stunned expression.

“… The teleport gate needs to fix the coordinates and activate the magic engraved on the gate. Normally, auxiliary techniques will specify the coordinates, but in a situation where there is a curfew like now, you have to specify the coordinates yourself, but I have never been there before—”

Summarizing, Istria was a rural area and I had never been to it, so it was a story that it was burdensome to operate the gate alone.

Noticing that, Priscilla glared at Bessie and so-and-so again with that expression of her courtesy.

It seems that the girl who snarled even when she was called the lady from the village didn’t like being called by other guys.

“… !”

I met eyes with Bessie and so-and-so.

It was a desperate look, asking Priscilla to do something.

You can do it yourself, so-and-so.

A witch with such bloody eyes is burdensome to me too….

“Kuhm! Majesty. There is one problem.”

“What is it?”

“Due to the current epidemic situation across the continent, the security of the teleport gate has become even tighter. It’s a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of I think it will be difficult.”

“Did you mean the archmage?”

Does the commander of the knights think he can break through alone?

As if having read my intentions, Bessie so-and-so raised her eyes and started purring.

“Ho, maybe I am! If you show sincerity? I was wondering if there would be a problem with the gate….”

But how can you make such a confused expression, so-and-so.

I don’t know if he’s really helpful or not.

I don’t know much about magic, but it’s probably not wrong.

In order to break through the heavy security, the knight commander’s help seemed absolutely necessary.

“I’m going to visit Sir Bertrand.”

“Yes, Maximilian.”

“Yes, yes?!”

The commander of the knights swore to be my sword.

Now is the time to ask for help.

“Why are you talking about going to the knight commander in this situation?! The knight commander is the sword of the empire!”

That’s why I’m going to visit the knight commander.

This is stupid.

In terms of time, my father must have gone to tell his close friend, the chancellor, that he cannot give away the tears of the sun.

The captain of the knights must have left because it was about revealing his shame.

Because just being accompanied by the knight commander can give the impression of suppressing the chancellor by force.

‘It must be at or near the parade ground.’

Although he has already reached the pinnacle when it comes to swords, he is a man who always wields a sword whenever he has the slightest chance.

There was a high possibility that he was at the parade ground now.

I headed for the parade ground with Priscilla and so-and-so.

“Uh, uh uh… Sir Bertrand….”

Perhaps he didn’t expect to find it all at once, so-and-so started talking nonsense about how he was still mentally prepared.

I ignored Bessie and approached the knight commander.

“Sir Bertrand, can I talk to you for a minute?”

“Yes, Your Highness. What-“

After saying that, the expression of the knight commander sharpened like a blade.

What was there was not a single human being, but a sword representing the Empire.

It was a moment when I felt that way.

The moment I thought the commander of the knights had disappeared right in front of my eyes, “Evil!” “Oops!” Along with the sound came the sound of something falling to the floor.

As I tried to look sideways at him, a sword was pointed at my neck before I knew it.

… Is Moore a great wizard standing shoulder to shoulder with the knight commander?

To be overpowered in just one breath.

“… What is this, Sir Bertrand?”

“I apologize for the rudeness, Your Highness.”

“I asked what you were doing, Sir Bertrand.”

“… You look like a warrior before the battlefield. I think that alone will be enough to answer my actions.”

Where did you sell the oath to be my sword?

I slowly raised my hands in surrender.

Then I felt the power in the knight commander’s eyes slowly loosening.

That was the moment.

He relaxed just a little bit and blinked his eyes, then so-and-so, who had been lying on the ground, fired magic into the knight commander’s face.

It was a trivial magic, just like spraying water, but that was enough for me.

The moment the knight commander’s attention turned to the two people who had fallen, I grabbed the blade of his sword with the hand I had raised near his ear.

Wooksin.

A sharp blow that could easily cut through my neck pierced my skin.

I felt sticky in my hand along with unpleasant heat.

“Hey, Your Highness! What is this!”

No matter how great a knight you are, you won’t be able to pull out your sword in this situation.

With a sword this sharp, it’s a situation where you don’t know if your fingers will fly off if you make a mistake.

Damn it.

At really great timing, someone froze the knight commander’s feet and stopped him from moving.

Excellent, so-and-so.

That’s enough to be called a great wizard.

Let me rest.

“The situation has been reversed, Sir Bertrand.”

“Let go of your hand. I warned you.”

“Ha! Did you dare to intimidate the crown prince?”

“Distinguish between courage and arrogance. I am the knight commander.”

As the strength entered the Knight Commander’s hand, a sharp and unpleasant sensation passed through his fingertips.

I felt like I would let go of the sword at any moment from the stabbing pain, so I gritted my teeth and glared at him.

“Even if my neck gets caught in the plaza, I will do anything to stop you, Your Highness. To protect the future of the empire. That is the duty of the Imperial Sword.”

You are truly a man worthy of the sword of the Empire.

So I must become a man worthy of being the crown prince of an empire.

“Are a couple of fingers a big deal? If you want to take it, take it.”

“Your Highness! Why the hell are you doing this!”

“Are you asking why?”

The blood that flowed down my hand stained the knight commander’s sword red.

It was a color that reminded me of the sun rising in the eastern sky on the day when my hellish training days began.

“I just want to keep the oath of the day. I mean, I’m prepared to lay down a couple of fingers for him! How are you, Sir Bertrand!”

The knight commander’s eyes widened.

My teeth are shaking.

I could feel the strength in my hands getting weaker.

Not yet.

You shouldn’t let go yet.

I gritted my teeth and glared at the knight commander with my eyes wide open.

“I’m asking if all the oaths that day were lies, Bertrand!”

The knight commander slowly closed his eyes.

The sharp aura that surrounded his body gradually disappeared.

The knight commander opened his eyes again, but his eyes were still sharp, but what was inside was not hostility but firm trust.

“I offer my sword to the Dawn of the Empire.”

It was a statement of oath containing the highest respect that a knight could offer to a crown prince who had not succeeded to the throne yet.

In response, I slowly let go of the sword.

Jurruk.

I gripped it so hard that blood flowed from my hand.

… I actually took ten years thinking that my finger would be cut off.

I shook my head at the knight commander who looked at my hand with a worried expression.

I don’t have time.

I had to fly to Istria quickly before this commotion reached the imperial castle.

Seize the teleport gate and fly to Istria, paralyzing the teleport gate installed there to stop the pursuers before you can breathe.

“Open the way, Sir Bertrand.”

“I will follow the will of the dawn!”

With Priscilla on my back, I chased after the knight commander who ran towards the teleport gate.

And there I saw it.

The true face of the man who just shouted ‘Hyeonnim, one more!’

“Sir Bertrand! What the hell is this?!”

From noble mtl dot com

“The sword of the Empire thrusts the sword into the Empire!”

“Are you crazy, Bertrand!”

“Stop it, stop it now!”

The leader of the knights was strong.

It was really strong like a ghost.

Even though I kept my eyes wide open to catch his movements, he quickly escaped my sight and swept across the battlefield.

Only the occasional sound of metal clashing and sparks rising were the only signs that he was rampaging on this battlefield.

Puffed up.

Finally all troops guarding the teleport gate fell silent.

I couldn’t keep my mouth shut at the miraculous result that all of them just lost their minds.

… Wouldn’t this have been enough to pull the sword out in an instant without cutting off my finger?

“Hey, Archmage!”

“Okay!”

Bessie, who was frozen by my screams, hurriedly activated the teleport gate.

That’s how we got out of the system and arrived in Istria.

***

The next moment I felt a slight dizziness.

What greeted us was Istria, a rural corner with lush vegetation.

It’s correct to ask Priscilla, but she’s lost her mind right now….

“The Archmage. Where can I get the dust that triggers the Lunaris?”

“That, that… The situation is different in each region, so I….”

“Your Highness, what do you mean by Lunaris?”

“There is such a thing.”

Anyway, what does this chaff know?

“… You can go to the cathedral. In the county of Arbest, the priest of the cathedral is also in charge of sanitation.”

It was truly rural administration.

Are you saying that surgeons also see internal medicine?

It seems to have happened quite a bit earlier than that, but it didn’t come down immediately, what were you doing?

It’s a situation where I feel dizzy.

“Don’t rush. Archmage, block the teleport gate.”

“Breaking is more effective than blocking….”

“When you go back, why do you want to go back? It’s not enough.”

How long do you think it will take to reach the next teleport gate in this pointlessly large land?

“Finish it and follow me. Priscilla, where… Hmm.”

After lowering Priscilla to the floor and looking around her, the structure of the cathedral, recognizable from a distance, caught her eye.

But….

‘It’s really amazing.’

Isn’t it a very fancy building that doesn’t suit a rural area like this?

Is it possible that the Seongguk, which regards frugality as a virtue, has built a cathedral like a magnificent royal castle in such a rural corner?

“Eggplant.”

I had a lot of questions, but I don’t have time for now.

I have to go to the cathedral and get healed and awaken the mana of the sun.

Thinking that, I hurriedly headed to the church, but Priscilla was struggling as she caressed the area around her abdomen with her hand.

I mean, how hard can you hit a kid like this….

Seeing my rebuke in my eyes, the knight commander tried to hold Priscilla in her arms with a feeling of shame.

At that, I gently pulled Priscilla’s hand.

“Something like slugs. Get up.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay—”

“Noisy. Didn’t you say you didn’t have time?”

I hurriedly put Priscilla on my back and ran out again.

Perhaps it was the result of the training he had received from the acting knight commander, but surprisingly, it felt like he could run with at least one person on his back.

When I arrived at the cathedral, I put Priscilla down, knocked on the cathedral door, and went inside.

“Who acted so rudely in front of a god—”

… Is this guy a priest?

No.

I have Viscount Cromwell’s case, so even if you have a great appearance, you shouldn’t take people lightly.

“Are you the priest here?”

After I said that, the priest hurriedly lowered his head.

“Tae, the grace of the sun….”

“Stop. There is no time. Will you look at my wounds first?”

“… Yes, Your Highness.”

A priest with a good appearance, even the smell emanating from his body was unusual.

He seemed to enjoy meat a lot more than vegetarian.

I shed a lot of blood, I ran non-stop, and on top of that, I got on the teleport gate.

I was on the verge of going crazy because my stomach was pounding, but I gnashed my teeth as I recalled the royal studies I had received from Martin.

“The treatment is over, Your Highness.”

After saying that, the priest began to examine our faces.

That was the moment.

Smile.

The corner of the priest’s mouth twitched for a moment as he looked at Priscilla.

That wasn’t a dirty laugh out of lust.

It was a laugh close to a mockery, as if laughing at the other person.

A building that is too splendid to be called a cathedral.

At first glance, luxury items decorated inside.

To be a clergyman, his appearance is too handsome and full of desire.

Involuntary ridicule towards Priscilla.

‘… Yes, that’s what happened.’

When you think about it, it was natural.

The binding of souls is the magic of the holy kingdom.

So, besides me and the Count, it means that the priest who used Soul Binding knows Priscilla’s identity.

The excessive amount of alimony that Count Arbest demanded.

Did that mean….

‘I’ll have to come back to Istria for a while to recuperate once the case is resolved.’

It was mainly recuperation in a spiritual sense.

‘Laugh at least now, you bugger.’

“Have you collected the dust that causes Lunaris?”

“Yes? Ah… yes. Of course.”

“Bring it. Oh, there must be an additional antidote for that?”

“Yes?”

“Are the words of the imperial family funny? How many times are you going to ask me again?”

“Sir, sorry! Hey, hey!”

Eolssigu.

If the imperial family ordered you to bring it, it would be polite to show you even pretending to run away.

“Hey, here you go!”

I received a vial of Lunaris dust and an antidote from the worm.

I said that the antidote for Lunaris would definitely prevent Lunaris outbreaks, right?

I gave the antidote I received from the bugs to Priscilla and the knight commander.

Then he set down the vial of Lunaris dust in front of me.

At that moment, the door of the cathedral opened and an archmage with sweat on his face entered.

I threw a vial of her antidote at her.

“Woo, wow!”

I’m glad I didn’t miss it.

“Then let’s begin.”

The two opened their eyes when they finally realized what I was aiming for.

But when I shook the vial of the antidote, the two of them reluctantly drank from the vial and turned a blind eye to my recklessness.

After confirming that, I lifted the dusty bottle, and the priest, who noticed my plan a little later, hurriedly poured the antidote into his mouth.

“Cool!”

The dust was strangely unpleasant.

However, it was still just a feeling of dizziness.

It is the power of the sun that protects its owner even if it falls head first.

Even if it is as strong as millet, it must mean that it will not be defeated by germs.

‘This is too late. I guess I’ll have to use the priest’s magic.’

I am afraid of dying too.

Even now, my hands are dripping with cold sweat.

However, the antidote lies in front of my eyes.

Aren’t there two geniuses of mana control that are born only once in a hundred years right in front of me?

Even if something goes wrong, it will work out somehow.

“Use divine magic on me, priest.”

“Maximilian?”

“Your Highness?!”

“Well, absolutely not. If you did something like that—”

It was the moment when the priest was spitting and trying to continue the damn thing.

The knight commander’s sword dug into his neck that was folded in four folds.

“The Dawn of the Empire has commanded. Execute immediately, priest.”

“Hey!”

The only thing that reacted to the sudden situation was the piglet, whose life was the top priority.

“Mr. Maximilian!”

“Your Highness!!!”

Priscilla and so-and-so tried to stop the priest as if they hadn’t expected this situation.

But thanks to the knight commander who moved quickly this time, the divine magic was safely activated and the gentle energy enveloped my body.

The moment you feel the warmth of sunbathing on a warm spring day.

“No, ah… Ahhhhh !!! “

The nightmare has begun.
