My Villains Episode 345
59. plateau(5)
Shea suddenly came to me in the middle of the night and urged me with a serious twinkle in her eye..
“Nari, don’t you have time? I heard you're going out tomorrow morning.……
“Shea, wait a minute. You want me to meet a prince who appears out of nowhere? What on earth
It's a sound?”
“I told you I had something to tell you..”
“So, what is it??”
“that......
The guy pursed his lips for a moment and then shook his head with a stern expression..
“No way. I can only tell the 3rd prince..”
“…… It's frustrating. The prince is not a random merchant on the street. He is someone you can meet if you suddenly come and ask to meet him.?”
“I know I can't do that, so I'm asking you to do it. Since you are his knight, you can let me meet you..”
“Yeah, it might be possible..”
“then••••••
“But if you don't tell me anything and just ask me to meet you, what should I say to the prince's guards? ‘This guy is my subordinate, and he really wants to meet the prince. 'But the business is a secret', are you telling me to say something stupid like this??”
“......eww ”
“If I have to tell Prince Jeong directly, it will be when I go out tomorrow morning.,”
“That's not possible. Because I don't want other people to know……
“……Then what are you telling me to do??”
Shea repeated, like a parrot, that he should be allowed to meet the prince. I tried to persuade him to tell me first, saying I would keep his secret, but it didn't work at all..
IC. What are you doing, it's so cold I'm dying.
“nicks.”
While I was grumbling inside, Atalanta quietly came out of the tent and put a Gambison on my shoulder..
“Ah, thank you.”
“What if I go out dressed like that in the middle of the winter night?.”
“Ha, why? I'm afraid I might catch a cold?”
“Anshiuamatte. You believe you're young and then you get a big nose injury..”
……well. Let alone being young, I can't imagine that this ignorantly strong body is suffering from something like a cold..
“ you are-”
“hi?”
“uh……
With wide eyes, Shea looked at Atalanta who was greeting her, the tent she came out of, and then at me. Then, I wonder what I was imagining and my face turned red..
“……Uh, well, I interrupted you. Some things like that.”
“Well, it's okay. I was just about to get up. No, I should rather say thank you.?”
“yes yes?”
“Thanks to you, I held back from wanting to do it again. If I had done it one more time, I might not have been able to get back on my feet..”
“••••••yes?”
“Hey, stop it..”
She belatedly stopped Atalanta's prank, but Shea's face was already turning red as if she was about to explode. Although she was a commoner, she was prone to jokes like this because she lived in a monastery for a long time..
“uh.”
wait for a sec… … . monastery?
“……Shea, you. You said you stayed at a monastery in the royal capital.?”
“yes‘?”
Shea shrugged her shoulders at my sudden question, then calmed down, took a breath, and nodded..
“Yes, that's right.”
Aside from Shea, there were only two people I knew who were connected to the capital's monasteries..
First, Princess Theodora.
She fled from the political strife of the Duke of Strom that took place ten years ago and came to the Kingdom of Milanol. And Lionel III imprisoned her in a monastery in the royal capital..
Theodora, who had been living as a nun, ran away from the monastery about five years ago and suddenly became a paladin of the Calandari Order..
Considering time, I would not have met Shea at all or had much of a relationship with Shea, who entered the monastery around that time..
Then the second.
“It's Princess Yuril..”
“……I don't know what you're talking about..”
“Yuril Lioneldóttir of Zeo Re. Prince Ulkar's sister..”
A nun with bright indigo-colored eyes who appeared with a silver glow at the end of Saint Abel's dream..
I remembered that face and asked the question again..
“You were at the same monastery as Princess Yuril.?”
“That's not right.”
“••••••no?”
“The place where I stayed is the Monastery of St. Adeion, and the place where the princess lives is the Convent of St. Thomas..”
“……There wasn't just one monastery?”
“yes. “There are two more besides St. Adeion and St. Thomasia.” As I glanced under my nose to hide my awkward expression, Shea, who hesitated, added,.
“Still, we were friends..”
“……friend? You and Princess Yuril?”
“yes. Since it was adjacent to the convent across a wall, we had some exchanges, and we even spent several days together when big events took place at the Matiariot Cathedral..”
Although she was talking about something that didn't seem to be anything unusual, she kept looking around..
“When I first entered the monastery and had a hard time adjusting, I received help from the princess... … . Anyway, yeah.”
“So, the reason I want to see the prince is to convey Princess Yuril’s words.?”
Shea was silent again, but enough was enough..
“I guess I have to go see the prince. What should you do??”
Atalanta thought about my question for a moment and then shrugged..
“I'm a little curious, but it's better not to know. There would be no benefit if foreigners found out about the royal family..”
She naturally stretched out her hand and pulled my neck. And then they kissed their lips and intertwined their tongues..
“Ugh, I see a kid.-”
“where is this kid?”
“ hey.”
“See you tomorrow then, walasim.”
Whether I said something or not, Atalanta smiled and tapped the tip of her nose before turning around and leaving..
I looked back at Shea, who was somehow holding her breath, and slowly scratched my eyebrows..
“Well, this isn't a secret that shouldn't be revealed... … . Still, there’s no need to make a fuss.?”
“Yes, yep.”
The girl with rabbit eyes pursed her lips and quickly nodded..
When I went to see Ulkar, he had just finished talking with Count Os and was talking with his associates..
Shea wanted to be alone with the prince, but the guards would not allow it, so I took her and entered Ulkar's tent..
Inside the tent were six or seven of the prince's entourage..
The tent had been provided by a baron from Antram. Not only was it of good quality, but it also seemed to be twice as big as mine. Still, with ten men crowded around, it was hard to breathe..
“……Lord Gisella, is it really necessary to go this far??”
“Of course, your highness..”
The person in charge of protecting Ulkar was Sir Gisella, the ‘Knight of the Bird Hawk’..
It wasn't that she received an official title, but it seemed like she was implicitly recognized as such because she paid so much attention to the prince's title..
“It's a wilderness without a fence, let alone a castle wall. There are more than one person trying to take your life, so you need to be extra careful..”
“I see. This is inconvenient because there are so many enemies..”
Sir Gisela stammered with a puzzled look in Ulkar's sighing muttering..
“However, even though there are many enemies, there are many more who want to follow Your Majesty, and the knights are faithfully guarding you, so please,”
“Haha, I didn't mean it that way. Anyway, I have a gentleman by my side, so why am I scared of assassins?.”
Sir Gisella kept her mouth shut..
The female knight's face turned bright red as the prince selflessly said that frogs die from being hit by stones thrown carelessly..
Lord Ankir, seeing this, burst into laughter..
“This is what it looks like when the fire is turned on too high! Let’s go out and get some cold air, but?”
Instead of Sir Gisella, who only glanced sharply and could not open her mouth, Sir Hylterre, who laid down his helmet on his knees, spoke with an expressionless face..
“Please be quiet, sir. You're already breathing all this air on your own, but if you open your mouth, won't we be able to breathe?.”
“what? what do you mean?”
“ O » "S".
When Ankir turned to look at him, Hylter narrowed his eyebrows slightly and pinched his nose..
“Damn it, I'm just trying to act clean by myself.?”
“The idea is to stick to the basics. It is disloyal as a knight to cause such a stench in Your Majesty's safety..”
“Disloyalty? uncivilized?”
The 'giant' Lord Ankir stood up with a fuss and got his head stuck on a pole extending diagonally from the top of the tent..
“Uh, uhh!”
“hold it there!”
As the tent tilted in the aftermath, the soldiers, including Randel and Andros, who were standing behind the knights, were startled and grabbed the landlord who was about to fall..
“Oh my.”
“As expected, Lord Ankir. He is useless for anything except when fighting. “If possible, please excuse yourself from the meeting.” “Gosh, I can’t keep that snout shut.”!”
“Please shut your stinky mouth first..”
……Those childish men are knights who are making a name for themselves in the kingdom. I can't believe it.
“haha.”
Even after seeing the three knights with red faces and the soldiers struggling to set up the tent, Ulkar just smiled warmly..
okay. The prince says it's okay, what can I say?.
After the situation had calmed down, Ulkar asked me a question..
“He said he had something to say.?”
“yes. It's not me, it's my subordinate Shea who has something to say to Your Majesty..”
“What do you mean, this late at night?……
Seeing the prince's blank gaze, Shea swallowed her saliva and opened her mouth..
“Princess Yuril asked me for a favor. Please spread the word..”
“Yurill?”
“The princess?”
When an unexpected name popped up, not only the prince but also the knights and soldiers showed signs of surprise and welcome. Of course, some people looked suspiciously, but they seemed to be silent for now..
When Shea revealed that she was from the Monastery of St. Adeion and had a special relationship with Yuril and that she had a message from the princess, Ulkar soon showed a shocked expression..
“……I don't understand. Yuril and I exchange letters three times a year. If you have something to say, you can just write it in a letter. Why bother sending someone??”
“Because it's a story you can't write in a letter..”
“A story you can't write in a letter?”
“The princess said that letters sent to and from Your Highness are not safe. It is said that not only the abbot of St. Thomas Convent, but also the Captain of the Guard and Prince Zacharis will be checking the letter.……
When the king's eldest son and successor, Zacharis, was mentioned, the warm air inside the tent instantly froze..
Zacharis was a man who considered his half-brother, Ulkar, to be his political enemy and plotted several plots with him. It was natural for Ulkar's men to be wary..
“……So, what is it about??”
Ulkar clenched his fists on the table and asked a question with a stern expression, and Shea took a deep breath and opened his mouth..
“Someone is trying to kill Princess Yuril. How many assassination attempts have been made so far?,”
“for a moment.”
After stopping his shocking story, Ulkar looked back inside the tent..
“Everyone please leave.”
“ majesty.”
“hurry.”
Sir Gisella opened her mouth to say something, but she bowed her head and retreated at the sight of the prince's sunken gaze..
Ankir, Hülter, and the soldiers also left the tent without saying a word..
I also watched for a moment and was about to follow them out, when I heard the prince's voice..
“Lord Poynix. you stay.”
……Hey, why me?.
