Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 134

He himself treats fame as if it is not a big deal, but swearing in front of everyone will taste different..

Insulting nobility? As long as you don't get caught about this, it's okay. The simple hand gesture that had already been performed after calculating the angle and gaze disappeared in an instant like a fleeting mirage..

"The young guy... he's so arrogant....!"

"The old guy... he's so arrogant....!"

Since ancient times, imitating has been an unpleasant behavior optimized to inflame one's anger. It may have been because he spoke exactly at the right time, but Count Bossa's eyes widened as he tilted his head as if he couldn't understand the meaning of the joke, which was something he had never experienced before in a high-ranking aristocratic society..

"this guy...!"

Why are you angry? Are you implying that you have hit the nail on the head? Still, as a man with some experience in the middle of the political world, it is commendable that he does not raise his voice..

"It's you who's really arrogant, not me, right? The blade penetrates without regard to social status, but the crown pierces the person. If you don't deserve it, I'll tear it apart."

Honestly, if you were to ask me who is arrogant between a guy who believes that everyone will die if he gets stabbed and a guy who thinks he will become king, I would definitely not choose the latter.?

Suddenly his eyes started to shake, as if he didn't expect those words to come out of my mouth..

"why? Are you surprised that a kid who just thought he knew how to use a knife would expect that? Can I just be surprised by that? There must be something else to surprise you?"

"what..."

"The connection to Esmueh is me. Not Ragnis.."

Perhaps because his conversation with me was quite confusing, Count Bocha's expression once again became full of doubt. I know what that expression means. It feels like 'Who is Esmuet to talk about connections?' But of course, that doubt quickly turned into astonishment..

"You have nothing to gain and nothing to lose in this trial.."

The name is unfamiliar to me because I always call her the 1st Princess, the Iron Blood Princess, or the White Star of the Empire in official settings.?

I was satisfied with the response, so I raised one corner of my mouth from a faint smile and said with a rotten smile..

"Come to your senses?"

"Do you know how to be swayed by lies like that?...!"

I made a fuss because I believed that of course I would be swayed. If he had been able to hear what the person who defeated the hero and saved the princess said directly, he would not have acted like this as soon as Ragnis came..

"That's your decision to make. I just added this comment so that you don't regret it later by saying you didn't know or something. Well then, go on your way now.?"

I said it with a smile, but I placed my hand on the pommel of the longsword I was wearing at my waist. Of course, there is no intention to stop here without justification. I just wanted it to be clear that it was hostile and to feel a little more humiliated..

Fortunately, Count Bocha was as humiliated as I had intended..

"...you will regret it."

"You won't even have time to regret. Oh, I'm scared, I'm scared. It seems that the family that emerged from the family and worked hard to build has disappeared from the kingdom overnight. Life is free. yes?"

Count Bosha responded by glaring at me. Then he glanced at Ragnis with a cold gaze that was completely different from the first time and opened his mouth again..

"Where did you pick up the guard dog?."

"insult him..."

"Arrrr wow. Growling, growling, roaring.."

No, why are you looking at me with those eyes? I wanted to leave something to laugh at on the way to the old man whose life will soon end anyway..

They both looked at me as if they were dumbfounded, but Ragnis burst into laughter. Then he turned to Count Bocha and greeted him with a polite gesture..

"Goodbye, Count Bosha. I still consider you my uncle, but I will not be able to attend the funeral, so I will greet you here in advance.."

I heard that he also gets really loud when I see him sometimes. Ragnis turned and left as if she had no interest in Count Bochat's reaction, and I followed behind her. At any rate, we had to go into the courthouse soon, so we were only a little further away, but Count Bosha also walked opposite us and mixed in with the factions, so the distance widened considerably..

After reaching that distance, Ragnis looked at me with a strange expression and asked:.

"......What is that at the end?."

"I did it to leave behind a funny memory for someone who will die soon.."

"It's ridiculous, really.."

Ragnis let out a small laugh and grabbed my sleeve. He was hoping to relieve some of the tension with his joke, but his hands were still shaking slightly..

"I guess this is what you found out yesterday."

"To be exact, it's one of the things I found out.."

He appeared at such a ghostly timing that if he had come a little later, I would have told him that the person who targeted her first was Count Bocha. Then we'd be surprised in a slightly different way..

No matter how different the factions are, it must be quite a shock to know that the person who was targeting you is your father's younger brother..

"When kidnapped by Delt. Somehow I felt the voice was familiar. She treated me like she knew me too. He thought he couldn't remember at all, but if he was a close associate of Count Bosha, then he understands. I must have seen it at least a few times.."

Ragnis just made a confused expression, not sure if he had much to say or not. She couldn't say anything, so she just patted her on the shoulder instead..

"If nothing else, don't worry about your safety. Because there won't be any problem."

Ragnis, who was forcing a smile, looked exhausted already. It would be a pain just to deal with demons, but seeing them plotting such scheming schemes makes me lose energy..

So, just when I was determined to destroy it as quickly as possible before I lost any more energy, a heavy bell rang..

-Deeng... Deeng...

The preliminary bell rings to signal preparation for trial. It may be unfamiliar to me, but the others here seem to be familiar with it as they gather in groups of twos and threes and begin to enter the courthouse. I understand that the King faction people went in much earlier and are preparing, but I was a bit puzzled and wondered if these people were all aristocrats..

Ragnis seemed to be intimidated because he couldn't see anyone around him that he could call his allies, so he decided to send them off in the brightest voice possible..

"Come back. Let’s meet at the Ogatorf Mansion today. I'll tell you the delightful story of Eldmia's wild adventures.."

"Phew. Okay, see you later.."

The trial will last several days, but Cheryl, who returned early in the morning, told me that today's trial alone would be enough to prove her innocence and allow her to escape the detention center for the purpose of protecting her safety. And if that happens, there is also talk that the Ogatorv family will step forward to protect her from the forces that framed her..

Ragnis will feel a little better if you tell him about how Count Bosha's financial resources were further destroyed..

After seeing everyone go in and the door closing, I turned around and Asilier was there before I knew it..

"Let’s go now, L.D.?"

"huh. But I really should have walked away?"

"then. No matter how much we reach an agreement, we are still competitors, right? It's better to only have the man you like in a place like this.."

Even though they say they are competitors, it is very touching to see them take care of everything they need. I don't know anything else, but confident that I was born with women's luck in this life, Asili and I walked towards the nearby forest..

"L.D. Look over there."

"Oh, I guess they're coming in now.."

What we found as we approached the gate were the victims we had rescued yesterday. Instead of wearing the clothes of ragpickers, they had changed into the clothes and equipment of yesterday's dead slave hunters and were just entering the city, guarded by prisoners..

And I made eye contact with Krul, who stood out among them because he had no fangs..

There was no conversation. He and the others probably had in mind what I said yesterday, but they just smiled and nodded as if to say hello, but didn't try to pretend they knew..

"I'm glad. You can enter the city without any problems.."

I smiled at Asilier, who smiled as I left them behind and left the castle gate..

"I know. It's rewarding to kill it cleanly.."

Even though I said it, I sounded like a psychopath, but whatever. Those who deserve to die should die, and those who should live should be saved. I have no shame whatsoever in my actions..

When we arrived at the edge of the forest, Asilier held my hand and began to explain..

"I tell you before entering the forest that you must not let go no matter what happens? The forest spirits help the elves, and the elf's companions around them also help, so they have no concept of what's going on.."

"I guess I can't communicate with those spirits.?"

"Mmm. They call it a spirit, but I would say it's closer to a being that's a little different from regular spirits... It's probably not going to make sense. Rather than having a conversation, we are just conveying our thoughts. It's not something you can see, and you can't really feel its presence. Feeling close to instinct?"

"That's a shame."

While we were talking, I entered the forest, but I didn't feel anything different or anything different. Even though I took about ten steps, I didn't feel anything, so I looked around without much thought, and when I looked back, despite Asilier's warning, I almost let go of her hand..

"Wow, it's only ten steps.?"

Originally, where the plains and the capital's walls should still be visible, there was only a forest..

"L.D. You have to look ahead properly. If you miss it, you'll suffer."

"It's so amazing, sister? I really can't feel anything."

"Hehehe. A forest connected as one is mostly possible. Of course, a reasonable deal must be concluded.."

"Doing something helpful to the forest?"

"That's the typical thing, and sometimes there are cases where we listen to what they ask for.."

Divine power is amazing and magic is amazing, but this phenomenon that does not belong to any of them is even more amazing. If there were more things like this in the world, I would want to look for them and see them..

Even though it was in a dense forest, we were able to arrive at our destination after a journey without any inconvenience as if we were walking on flat ground..
