The Status Window Disappeared

Action Pleasure Arios Online (4)

The party, who were worried that King Kwon might come after them, were able to put their minds at ease only after returning to the capital.

Taking advantage of the hustle and bustle of the festival, Chris returned to the inn and took Rosefeld off his horse while observing the surroundings. Holding on to his collar throughout the run, she avoids his outstretched hand with a slightly startled expression. Apparently, her resentment at being tricked by him was still unresolved.

While Chris let her go with a bitter smile, Illesis, riding on the dean’s horse, trotted closer. Before she knew it, the transformation magic was released and she was back to her original form.

The two friends who met after a long time embraced inside a messy stable.

“Rosefelt! how have you been doing? You can rest easy now.”

“Elesis… … .”

Unlike Elesis, who was easily delighted, Rosefeld kept glancing at Chris with a subtle expression.

For this reason, he enters the inn feeling like a sinner.

Occupied by the people of the dean, this place was a safe place to stay.

As he sits down first and takes care of his throbbing body, the dean immediately comes in and sits across from him and sighs.

“My nephew suffered a lot after you ran away.”

“I guess so.”

Rosefeld was popular at the academy because he was a royal family, but among the people around him, the only friends he had on an equal footing were Chris and Elesis.

One of those people lied to himself from start to finish, and there’s no way he could just get over it. Illesis couldn’t just get over it and even chased after him… that’s why she’s weird

It would be more shameless to slap people in the back of the head like that and ask for forgiveness.

Chris rubbed the area where he had been beaten by the Fist King, a little daunted by the reunion, which was much more bitter than he expected.

The dean asks him a question he has wanted to ask before.

“Aren’t you also a minion of the Demon King? I’ve never heard of that woman commanding the living.”

“It would be rude to Elgar-sama if I called him a minion.”

Chris, who was rubbing his tingling limbs, groaned softly as he recalled the fight with the Fist King.

Previously, through the King of Singers and the King of Swords, I had a rough idea, but as expected, the six king-level talents are still very difficult. It was fortunate that he was able to save his life thanks to training under Gearic.

Feeling hungry belatedly, right after they ordered a meal from the kitchen, Elesis and Rosefeld entered the inn.

Rosefeld was still looking down, as if he was uncomfortable making eye contact with Chris.

Soon, as she settled down across from Chris, an awkward silence took over the table.

It was after the meal in the kitchen that Chris and his party resumed.

The dean, who tore up freshly steamed cabbage and put it in his mouth, reassured Rosefeld.

“Things are going so fast that you won’t be in a hurry, but don’t worry too much. Let’s stay here for a while and then go back to the academy when the palace is quiet.”

“go… Thank you dean, no, aunt.”

Rosefeld, who greeted with a difficult smile, slightly bowed his head to Chris as well.

It is true that he cheated on her, but it is also true that he fought for her.

Unable to withstand the heavy atmosphere in the room, Tyrone left with his stack of cards.

“Then it’s time for a break now, right? I’ll come play outside.”

“Don’t loosen up too much and buy in moderation.”

“Shall I go do some cleaning up too… … .”

Eventually, the dean also evaded his seat, leaving only the three of them from the academy days.

As if trying to change the heavy atmosphere, Illesis congratulated Rosefeld and said.

“The dean said he would prepare an undercover identity for you. Now I can be at ease until I graduate.”

“Oh yeah? Great. Thanks to that, I can go back to the academy without you or Raiden.”

Rosefeld said as if rebuking Illesis for leaving the academy and leaving him behind.

In fact, Chris wasn’t the only one who betrayed Rosefeld.

Chris realized that as he looked at Illesis, who struggled to keep his smile.

“I’m sorry I lied to you. It would be too late to apologize now, but… … .”

When the apology came out of Chris’ lips several months late, Rosefeld’s well-prepared face distorted.

She sighs and quietly asks for reconciliation.

“The person who told me to take responsibility as a member of the royal family ruined the arranged marriage. Have you changed your mind a bit since then?”

“I wasn’t very close with you back then.”

When Chris responded so brazenly, she finally smiled faintly.

The three of them talk about the work and adventures of their academy days and solve their past.

Elesis, who was excited along the way, made a proposal that surprised Chris.

“Since it happened like this, can’t Rosefeld go with you?”

“no. I want you to stay here too… … .”

When Chris was too frank, Illesis kicked him in the calf.

Rosefeld shook his head with a sad yet calm expression.

“I saw you guys fighting. No matter how hard I try with my skills, I’ll catch my ankle. Elesis, you are truly a genius.”

“Still, wouldn’t it be lonely if I stayed alone in the academy?”

When Illesis spoke, recalling the words from earlier, Rosefeld groaned briefly.

“If you know that, why don’t you leave me in the first place… are you okay. In fact, the exam is so difficult that I don’t even have time to be lonely.”

Rosefeld, who rejected the embarrassing but attractive offer in a mature manner, finally asks about his rescue operation in detail.

Chris thanked her and gave her a rough outline of the process and plans for the future. However, she tilts her head when the story comes out that the schedule was pushed back because the king was wary of the dean.

“Hmm? for a moment. The reason the wedding was rescheduled wasn’t because my father was wary of my aunt. I don’t know the details, but something urgent happened and it seemed that both of you were trying to finish the ceremony quickly.”

“Is it urgent?”

If it was an event that the duke and the king could react to at the same time, it would not be of a normal scale.

Rosefeld affirmed with conviction and informed them of the circumstances they did not know.

“I secretly overheard that some kind of ruins were found not far from here… So they say we need to investigate that quickly.”

“ruins? Is it something like a sword grave?”

As Illesis said with a flash in her eyes, Rosefeld diligently searched for her memory.

“I don’t think it was like that, it seemed to have something to do with the players. Arkal? They say it’s the remains of a person with that name… … .”

“Isn’t it Argal?”

When Chris corrected it just in case, Rosefeld clapped his hands lightly.

“Yes, Argal. Do you know anyone?”

“Everyone knows… He’s the one who engraved this on me.”

Chris hardened his complexion by showing the tattoo he had received as a gift from the god of death.

Certainly, it is not an ordinary thing that the ruins of Argal, the bust god, have been excavated.

Even if he was a king or a duke, he would have wanted to investigate it quickly.

Chris, who had decided on his next destination thanks to Rosefeld, began gathering information about the ruins the next day.

As if the king of Seidran had already dispatched an expedition, there were signs that the kingdom’s adventurers were mobilized.

When he returns to the inn after completing the investigation, Illesis asks with an uneasy expression.

“You’re not going to go right now, are you? We have to take Rosefeld to the academy.”

“Relax. Exploring ruins isn’t something that can be done in a day or two, so there should be plenty of room for that.”

Anyway, they decided to take a break for a while.

Chris decided to take as much time as possible and approached the dean and Rosefeld who were sitting at the table.

They were slowly preparing to return to the academy.

Unfortunately or fortunately, there was not the slightest movement in Seydran’s capital that seemed to be looking for a kidnapper.

People on the streets are enjoying the festival comfortably, as if they do not know that the princess has been kidnapped.

Upon hearing such news, Rosefeld showed a very subtle sentiment.

No matter how internationally disgraceful, to say that your own daughter was kidnapped and you didn’t report it.

The King of Seidran seemed intent on burying this fact altogether.

“I thought there was no room for disappointment anymore… Anyway, my brother is amazing. Since it happened like this, let’s go back to the academy tonight.”

Rosefeld weakly nodded at the dean’s suggestion, which sounded as if he was dumbfounded.

By the time the sun had completely set, it was dark everywhere. Chris, the dean, and Rosefeld quietly left the inn.

Passing through an alley that people rarely use, they were able to reach the entrance of the academy before long.

Chris and Elesis contemplate saying goodbye, while Rosefeld’s legs are getting heavier.

The dean, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped walking.

Numerous knights were camped at the side gate of the academy they were supposed to pass through.

It wasn’t just a guard, it was an attitude as if he knew he was coming this way.

Seeing this, Rosefeld hurriedly tried to withdraw, but the dean stopped him.

“are you okay. It looks like we got caught anyway, so let’s just go.”

The party, who had been walking anxiously, stopped at a place far away from the royal knights.

Then, the knights who had been waiting in an immobilized position split up, and the king, who was in the middle of them, appeared. Originally, he had a drawn-out expression, but perhaps because he was under the blue moonlight, his complexion looked even worse than the last time.

He stroked his beard with a twig-like hand, then let out a deep sigh.

“Sister, what the hell are you doing? To ruin the wedding I prepared for nearly three months like this.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve been in the middle of a long time. Rosefeld studied for over a year to join our academy.”

The dean responded sarcastically, revealing his contempt for his younger brother.

However, the king did not show any particular emotion when he heard it.

His face, which looks much older than the dean’s, is full of fatigue and remorse.

“I know I am not a good father. But if you come out so recklessly… … .”

“Who was the first to come out recklessly?”

There is a tendency for the monarch of a feudal state to be treated a bit like a pet, but this was a bit harsh. The king’s escort knights seemed to feel the same way as Chris, and took a step forward to stop the dean.

“It’s rude.”

“It’s much more reckless to take a student from my academy like kidnapping and ask them to hand over their diploma.”

The dean doesn’t even look at the escort knights and shoots them sharply.

When the knights who couldn’t stand her brutality tried to draw their swords, the king in the back hurriedly stopped them.

“Everyone get out of here. Are you going to stab my sister?”

“I don’t know what to do with Your Majesty’s grace. Please think a little more about your own children.”

“sister!”

The king spoke out in a sharp voice as if giving a final warning, but the dean didn’t blink an eye. After all, behind her are Chris and the others who defeated the king.

The royal knights were also included in the escort of Duke Diden and Rosefeld, so the king must have already known that fact.

One’s own pride, and the planting of the adventurers who defeated one of the Six Kings.

It is clear which of the two is more important.

The king, a seasoned politician, did not lose sight of the fact even in the midst of a slight rage.

If he tried to stop the dean and Rosefeld here, his own head might run away.

In the end, the king decided to let Rosefeld and the dean in as they had decided beforehand.

When the knights blocking the academy’s side door got out of the way after receiving his order, Chris and Rosefeld walked between them.

Rosefeld, who seems deeply hurt by this incident, doesn’t even look at her father properly.

“… I’m glad you’re okay.”

“Thank you so far, Your Majesty.”

Rosefeld, who in effect declared his resignation, disappeared into the back of the academy without making eye contact with him until the end. When the dean, who remained at the far end of the party, entered through the side door and closed the door, the king, left with the knights, returned to the palace alone.
