42. Martial Arts Preliminary. (2)

“Is it this way?”

“… … It looks like there are signs of coming this far. It hadn’t been long since he had left the palace, so he probably couldn’t have gone far. Be sure to find it before it becomes a problem!”

Knights of the imperial palace have been rummaging through the capital since early morning.

As if looking for someone.

Because the knights of the imperial palace were celebrities whose faces were sold in many ways.

A commoner who saw them wandering muttered.

“… … What, why are the knights of the imperial palace roaming around?”

“well? … … Isn’t it because of the preliminaries for the no-fight contest or something like that?”

“For something like that… … You look strangely impatient.”

The knights of the imperial palace, looking for something subtle from early morning.

To be exact, the villa where the 4 princesses stay.

Because I was searching the commoner’s house nearby.

Perhaps it was natural for them to stand out.

Originally, it was extremely rare for them to go directly to a commoner’s house like this.

The fact that the article came to this place in person means that there was a reason for it.

‘Oh, did you come all this way already… … I can’t get caught already.’

A girl listening to the conversation of the commoners lowered the robe she was wearing to cover her face.

Hidden behind the grove are unique golden eyes.

A student who points to only one lineage in the world.

And those dark golden eyes were none other than the symbol of the royal family.

It was probably natural that she had those pupils.

Her name is Rhea Beatus.

Because she was the princess who escaped from the villa that the knights had been looking for since morning.

Queen Beatus.

A dynasty and surname that has never changed in the history of the Kaisha Empire for more than a thousand years.

Even the most famous castle in the world would be fine.

Because there was no idiot in this world who did not know the imperial family.

Being born as one of them was a kind of blessing.

In a world where the Millennium Empire dominates the world, a blood relative of the ruler, the emperor.

From nob le mt l. co m

Just by being born with it, a member of the imperial family was born with the qualifications to become a ruler.

In fact, in the current succession structure, it is taken for granted that the first prince, Evan Beatus, will become the crown prince.

Nevertheless, being a member of the imperial family is nothing short of a blessing.

Even if you don’t become emperor, the royal family is still the royal family.

It was a class that no one dared to surpass.

A luxury that ordinary aristocrats could not even imagine.

Because I was able to enjoy it to the fullest.

… … normally.

And that was a story that didn’t belong to just one person.

The 4th princess of the Kaisha Empire.

Ray Beatus.

The current emperor’s only illegitimate child.

Her mother’s lineage is completely unpredictable, and even though she is an imperial family, she is a girl who is treated as half-penny because she has commoner blood.

If it was only that, her life would not have been so smooth.

Not the illegitimate son of a local nobleman, but the illegitimate son of an emperor.

At least, did you have enough background to grow without lacking?

However, her body was naturally weak.

The characteristics of the body are repulsive to mana.

A body that can’t accept the magic that a human being should do.

Magical power is the source of everything, and the energy that all living things naturally possess.

A body that couldn’t accept such magic wasn’t simply a matter of not being able to use magic.

Because I didn’t even have basic immunity and exercise ability.

She would often spit out bloody coughs even if she pushed herself a little.

Unlike members of the imperial family who usually have strong bodies.

Even though he was an illegitimate child, he was not born with a normal body.

Her position within the imperial family was near the bottom.

Is it just that much?

The imperial family deserves respect and is an object of reverence.

And being a member of the royal family with a weak body was quite an annoyance from their point of view.

To the extent that he built a detached palace away from the imperial palace and was virtually imprisoned for the rest of his life from a young age.

Total suppression of freedom.

As a member of the imperial family, he couldn’t even go out of the palace for dizzying things unless he needed it.

okay.

Still, if it had been that far, there would have been no way for Ray to escape the villa.

It’s not like they’re locked up for bad reasons.

There was an excuse that she was imprisoned because of her health problems.

If one day the pain gets better.

At that time, you will be able to press the freedom that you have not enjoyed until now.

make friends normally

I hope that I can meet people normally, and in the distant future find someone I love and get married.

Ray was only yearning for that normality.

It’s not about enjoying the right as a member of the royal family.

In a way, it is a trivial expectation that is close to the trivial desire of the common people.

And for him, he chose to be confined to a separate palace.

And she probably lived like that in the royal palace for the rest of her life until her body got better.

If only she hadn’t overheard the doctor’s conversation a few days ago.

‘They said it would be difficult to make it past this year, even if it was long.’

‘… … okay. Even nobles in the imperial family are poisonous. I can’t imagine he’s going to be locked up in a separate palace until he dies, saying he’s weak and won’t live long.’

It was a shock.

In front of himself, he said he would get better soon. The doctors who said I was getting better.

Behind the scenes, he was talking about his own death.

At that point, even Ray would know.

That the imperial family wasn’t expecting him to get better.

He was an illegitimate child, and even his body was weak.

… … In order not to cause trouble to the imperial family, he was locked up in a remote villa and waiting to die.

To them, he was not like a member of the imperial family or a human.

Because it was nothing more than an imitation that was born full of flaws.

Realizing that fact, Leah quietly escaped from the villa.

He did not think that he would be able to escape far away from the imperial family in the capital, which was nowhere else.

however.

If possible, at least as much as Mutuje… … I wanted to put it in her eyes, even just once.

It is the biggest festival in the empire.

A battlefield where commoners, nobles, and sometimes even the imperial family come together to determine superiority and inferiority.

It is colorless to say that it will be held in the capital.

The princess, Ray, in her 19 years of life, had never even noticed the event.

If you don’t even have a year left anyway.

Wanting to see it even once would not be too greedy.

however.

Even that was not an easy task for Leah, who secretly escaped from the villa.

The presence of knights scouring the surroundings in search of themselves.

Ray, who had barely escaped into a back alley to avoid being noticed, collided with someone.

f*ck!

“… … Quit.”

“What is this little b*tch?”

Unlike the opponent who doesn’t stumble at all.

Ray, who fell backwards, let out a rough breath.

“ha. ha… … Keck, Coke!”

Cool.

Presuming he was going to cough, Ray hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.

Bright red blood soon stains the handkerchief.

The man who saw it made a sad face.

“What year are you doing? I have to participate in the preliminary round of the martial arts contest… … feel bad Rather, don’t you have a dirty contagious disease?”

“Coke, … … keut, something like that… … .”

It’s not like that.

His physical condition was just a congenital problem, not a contagious disease.

If it had been that kind of disease, even if she knew that she was terminally ill, she would not have come out of the palace.

So that’s what I was trying to say. The man didn’t seem to think so.

“sh*t, unlucky Siri. Should I go see a doctor?”

“… … Everything, you can’t tell anyone else.”

If things got any bigger than this, it would only take a moment for the knights to know where they were.

And if that happens, you will be locked up in the palace again.

This time under more strict surveillance, making sure that no one escapes.

And above all.

There was no way that commoner man who collided with him would go over unscathed.

Although Ray is an illegitimate child, she is nominally the princess of the imperial family.

If it was a commoner who hurt such a princess.

And if it turns out that such a commoner used curse words.

It was obvious even without seeing that the price would be the death penalty.

The lightest punishment is the death penalty, and there is a high probability that three generations will be destroyed.

“… … Tsk.”

There is no persuasiveness in one’s own words to persuade the other party.

Better to run away than that.

Thinking so, Ray tried to run away, but the man reached out and grabbed his wrist.

“Where are you going, you b*tch? Whether it’s a real plague or not, you can’t escape.”

“… … Ugh.”

I tried to remove my arm.

As if it had been fixed, it did not budge.

overwhelming power difference.

It would be good to say that the difference in strength between a child and an adult.

Until just now, I was rather worried about the man.

In front of the difference in power, fear reared its head belatedly.

afraid.

The sudden thought filled Ray’s eyes with fear.

I’d rather reveal my identity.

No, would you believe it even if you said it? It would be fortunate if he was not treated as a psychopath.

It was only a few times that Ray’s face was reflected in public.

Only a few nobles and knights wore her face.

At least the man in front of me didn’t seem to know that.

‘… … Please, anyone.’

Suddenly, out of nowhere, someone who will help you will appear.

I thought so.

Nothing like that would ever happen in real life.

If it is natural, it will be natural.

There was no way that such a hero would suddenly fall from the sky.

In the midst of Ray’s pupils trembling like an aspen tree trembling.

Quick!

Suddenly, a long-haired white girl really fell from the sky and trampled on the man’s face.

“… … Kuck.”

Unlike when he bumped into himself, there was no staggering.

When his face is unexpectedly stepped on, the man staggers backwards while holding his nose.

The restraint of the hand that was naturally holding it is also released.

That white haired girl with a sword at her waist stood between Ray and the man.

“… … What are you?”

hero.

A hero who truly fell from the sky and appeared to help him.

Thinking of that for a moment, Ray widened his eyes.

The words that fell from her mouth were of a kind that neither of them expected.

“… … Path.”

“?”

With a cold expression like a frostbite, not feeling any change or agitation of emotions.

Plainly, future iron-blooded empress.

Lin opened her mouth.

“Path. lost.”

perhaps.

It wasn’t an expression that didn’t show emotional agitation, but it seemed that it was a pretty embarrassing face.
