Chapter 454
My Villains Episode 454
66. silver prince(9)
Juic Theodora Guelamcht von Strom.
She is the niece of the Duke of Avilambus and the maternal granddaughter of Lionel III. Based on the nobility of her lineage alone, she is one of the ten daughters of Middle Earth..
Because his father and brothers were caught up in political strife and died, and because he was imprisoned in a convent located in the capital city of Milan, he had no experience of enjoying the wealth and fame befitting his extremely high status after his early teens..
However, it was impossible to hide the demeanor of a high-ranking nobleman and the natural dignity he possessed. In addition, while living as a nun, she learned humility and was even equipped with mercy worthy of the title of anointed holy knight. Although it hides a very slight indulgence and an eccentric personality that enjoys thrills, it is by no means at the level of a homecoming.
It seemed like nothing was known to the public..
In a word, this body is high, sacred, good, beautiful, and even has great heart. No, this is not it... … . Anyway, it wasn't usually difficult to hate Theodora like that..
And, fortunately, Ellen was no exception..
“Oh, there it was. I waited a long time?”
“you! Like this bully-”
The halo that Princess Theodora gave off without any divine power was so bright that even Ellen, who was sitting on a wooden chair in the courtyard of the guard headquarters and whose eyes were burning with the force of setting all the greenery around her on fire, held her breath for a moment..
“……This person?”
“It’s your first meeting, right? This is Princess Theodora. Princess, this is Ellen. I talked about it often?”
Even though they were seeing each other for the first time, even their names were not unfamiliar, and not only Theodora, who asked to meet them, but also Ellen Yeok seemed to know the other person..
“We finally meet each other.”
The first person to greet me was, of course, Princess Theodora. She got off Brightmere, hung the reins on the iron hook on the pillar, and stood in front of Ellen. Then, with an expression of surprise, he lifted his light eyebrows and smiled..
“I thought Lord Phoenics was exaggerating, but it is surprising that he has an angelic appearance, just as I heard..”
Are you happy to be praised for your beauty? Ellen, who had already extinguished the fire in her eyes, twitched her mouth for a moment..
“May the blessings of light come upon you. I am Theodora, a paladin of the Callandari Church..”
“……It is an honor to meet you, the Princess of Light. I have heard of your bright name..”
I don't know if she remembered that she had decided not to reveal her identity for the time being, or if she did it unconsciously, but Ellen politely greeted her even though she had an awkward expression on her face..
“My name is Ellen, the wizard of La-Palais Palace..”
“So, what do you want me to call you? Miss Ellen? master ellen?”
“Umm.”
On the battlefield, Ellen was shouting things like 'how dare I do this' and 'the authority of the High Master', but it was crowded with battles and not many people knew exactly what High Master meant. As a result, only a few outsiders knew that he was, by custom and name, the owner of the Palace of La-Palais..
“……Master Ellen is fine..”
“Yeah, sure.”
Princess Theodora nodded calmly, as if she was not one of those few. Then this time Ellen came out and looked at the princess in turn and asked a question..
“Why did the princess come to a place like this? I am this bastard
- No, I was waiting for Lord Phoenics..”
“I asked to meet with him. I have a question I would like to ask Master Ellen, or more specifically, the two Grandmasters..”
“If you want to ask,.”
“…… This doesn't seem like the right place for an intimate conversation. If it's okay, we can move around and meet the two grandmasters together.?”
Ellen nodded in response to the princess's polite request..
Looking at him, I sighed in relief..
It was good. As expected, Theodora's younger brother also works on Ellen..
Me, Ellen, Theodora, and the two grandmasters sat around the table on one side of my bedroom..
The bedroom is much safer from prying eyes than the office, which is frequented by bureaucrats, thugs, officers, and non-commissioned officers. It was on the highest floor of the security headquarters building, partly because it was located among the empty rooms, but also because it was the most suitable place for my shadow to sit in the dark and look around..
Well, when I naturally invited Princess Theodora to the bedroom, Ellen's eyes lit up again.…….
“Haha—don’t worry, Master Ellen. I am a pledge of chastity, and Sir Foy Nix is but a fellow-comrade..”
“Oh, yes? No, no, I didn't think that way - of course, why would someone like you, Princess, treat a guy like this?,”
The princess continued speaking with a smile on Ellen's gibberish..
“What kind of guy is this? Aside from his legendary skills and undying bravery, Sir Phoenix is definitely an attractive man. Because he is bold and cheerful, and at the same time knows how to care for his subordinates and sympathize with the weak..”
As Theodora continued to compliment without hesitation, Ellen asked, ‘Who? He looked at me with eyes that asked, ‘Who is this guy?’ I shrugged..
“What are you doing? Write it down, please.”
While the guy was shooting curses with his eyes, Princess Theodora continued speaking with the same smile on her face..
“Because he is that attractive, he must have had three more lovers, not counting his fiancee. It may not be something I would recommend to a criminal, but Sir Phoenix is quite capable, so he needs a little, um... … I believe that I can also take responsibility for my ‘indulgence’..”
As a princess, it may have been a blessing as a priest without any special meaning, but Ellen did not seem to accept it at all. The way he looks at me with his lips twitching and the back of his neck turning red makes him seem quite upset.…….
I felt a sense of crisis and quickly cleared my throat..
“Hmm, since we've also invited the grandmasters, let's get to the point..”
As I said that, I turned to see the two men and women I had met for the first time on the battlefield..
'Aktufir Ol', an old magic warrior wearing golden armor and striking with lightning around an axe, was wearing short robes reminiscent of a monk..
Contrary to his simple attire, the large old man had ten fingers full of gold rings and two gold bracelets on each wrist..
The woman sitting next to him with her chin resting on her face was Nashal Anway, a magician who used a three-headed snake staff to disguise itself as phantom beasts of the elements..
Because she was wearing a black bandana and a veil covering her upper body, all that was visible was her straight eyebrows, clear bridge of the nose, and light brown eyes that were almost golden, but I was confident that she was worth five hundred gold coins..
When these two grandmasters first appeared on the battlefield, they were mistaken for enemies as they were blocking Ellen..
It was while clearing up the battlefield that I learned that they had come out into the world to monitor and escort Ellen, or to perform babysitting duties..
During the battle, I threw a few javelins, but he didn't say anything about it. Well, to be exact, I don't even say anything at all..
When Princess Theodora greeted her, Nashal made an arc with his eyes and nodded, and Aktufir returned the favor with an appropriate formality and then got straight to the point..
“What do you want to ask??”
“I want to know the purpose of the two of you leaving Tirin Mel and coming to this land of Gelan..”
It was a statement thrown straight away without asking around. It wasn't a very noble way of speaking, but the old wizard nodded slightly as if he was at ease..
Of course, that didn't mean the answer was readily given..
“This is probably the answer you expected, but we came here because of palace business. There is no reason to reveal the details to outsiders, so I hope you understand..”
“I'm not asking out of simple curiosity. “If you are here because of something the church is interested in, I am asking whether you two and the Calandari Church could join forces with the La-Palais Palace.” Aktufir was silent for a moment..
Ellen narrowed her eyebrows, seemingly guessing Theodora's intentions, while Nashal, sitting opposite her, was secretly yawning under her veil..
“……hmm?”
Then, the woman who made eye contact with me suddenly smiled and glanced sideways at the other Grand Master and the one and only High Master. Then he slightly lifted his crossed legs and touched my shin with his toes..
If I remember correctly, Nashal Anwei was a lot older than me..
I watched her quietly, wondering what she would do out of the blue, and she blinked one eye. And before I knew it, I was slowly pushing my bare, white foot into my thigh..
……Really, he's a goal hitter..
While I was quietly appreciating Nashal's snake-like footwork, Aktufir broke the silence..
“Tell me first what you are interested in.”
“I want to reveal the situation, but if this becomes known to the outside world,,”
“The palace wizard has a heavy mouth..”
Theodora seemed to have already anticipated the flow of this conversation and gave an answer without much hesitation..
“I discovered demonic energy in 'Asag', the marsh of death..”
“……Maggi Ramen?”
“What you think is correct. It's magical power flowing from the dark world..”
“her.”
Not only Aktufir but also Ellen and I were surprised by the princess's words..
The Dark Realm is considered to be the leader among the evil dimensions consisting of the Flame Realm, the Phantom Realm, and the Underworld, and is known as the antipode of the Light World, which is the Nakto (樂士)..
Since the main scenario of the Dark World is that the Dark World is eroding the Middle World, it was not common news that the magic power of the Dark World, or demonic energy, had been discovered. This is especially true considering that up to half of the major events in Dark World's campaign occurred due to the 'Messenger of the Dark World', and that the final boss is the 'Dark Lord', a being similar to a demon king..
“But, Asagra? Why is there a devil in that swamp?……
I questioned, forgetting the feeling rising from below my waist..
As I remember, Asag was just a farming field with one or two side quests and had absolutely nothing to do with the main scenario. They say that if you decide to skip it, it doesn't matter if you don't set foot there until you clear the campaign. But you found a demon in Asag? Did I do something wrong? Dark World Wow, the only events related to demonic energy are in the main scenario.…….
“I couldn't figure out the details either. However, the powerful undead had a little bit of magic in them. In particular, after defeating the corpse dragon, which is rare in Asag,... … I found something that looked like a bone jar, and it contained a small but very concentrated amount of magic energy..”
The princess finished her sentence with a stern expression and slowly made the sign of the cross..
Ha, fuck. What's happening again?.
The war hasn't ended properly, so what's going on with Magi?.
“It's spinning, really.”
While I was holding my head, Aktufir, who was massaging his chin with one large hand, slowly opened his mouth..
