“Uhhhhh”

Bahamut hurriedly moves along with the soldiers.

His breath had already risen to his chin, and sweat was pouring down his cheeks, but even so, he had no time to stop and catch his breath.

‘damn… I was too complacent. I should have thought that an attack could come at any time, one way or another… ‘

Because I usually prepared thoroughly, I was rather caught off guard with the thought that it was only this much.

As he regretted his painful mistake, Bahamut began to pray earnestly in his heart.

‘Please… I don’t mind getting injured, so just stay alive. This way… I can’t let you go this way!’

It was Bahamut who had felt sorry for Isolda for a while.

I was thinking of trying to appease her in some way, but I really couldn’t imagine that things would flow so quickly.

If Lee Solda dies like this…

For the present Bahamut, I never wanted to think of such a thing.

Bahamut arrived at the location of the previous attack in such a hurry.

There, he was seeing a more gruesome scene than he had imagined.

“Turn it off… .”

“Buy… buy… buy… ”

Assassins rolling on the floor with their limbs severed.

Between them was the figure of Ophelia holding a greatsword with a cold expression on her face.

And..

“Isolda!”

“Ah.. Bahamut..”

Lee Sol is sitting on the floor covered in blood.

Seeing her being protected by adventurers belonging to the upper guild who didn’t know when they arrived, Bahamut felt extreme relief and started running towards her.

And..

“ah!….”

“thank god… really… I’m really glad… ”

Bahamut muttered while holding Isolda’s body as it was.

In response to his unexpectedly violent reaction, Isolda began to feel a bit of joy as well as embarrassment.

‘indeed… Did Yuria’s plan work out? It was unexpected that a real assassin intervened along the way, but that’s about it… ‘

As a result, although he suffered an unexpected injury to his forearm, Isolda had no major complaints about the current situation.

In order not to show signs of fabrication anyway, she was going to give her some minor injuries, and even though it was not intentional, it was like she had actually caught the assassins who were aiming for Bahamut, so from her point of view, it could be said that it was a great business.

‘But… after all, he wasn’t such a heartless man… Are you worrying about me like this?’

For now, Isolda was intoxicated with deep joy while being satisfied with the worried hug of the man she liked.

And..

“master!”

“Ah, Ophelia.”

Ophelia came here leaving the adventurers to clean up.

Her face was covered with a look of relief and guilt that was deeper than that of Bahamut.

“I am really, really sorry. I should have retreated there while protecting Bahamut, but I made the wrong decision.”

“No, in the same situation as before, the method you took was the correct answer. It’s my fault for neglecting my security for a moment. By the way..”

Feeling that the situation has been sorted out like that, Bahamut looks around as rain.

There, while managing the surviving assassins, some adventurers could be seen standing guard.

Bahamut did not know why they were here, but there was one part that could be guessed.

‘It’s really Lee Solda. You were prepared in advance for something like this to happen.”

Bahamut had the authority to operate the adventurers belonging to the upper tier, but Isolda was also able to mobilize around 10 people at its discretion.

Perhaps he was prepared for this to happen.

In that respect, I think that I am a woman who has no gaps.

Bahamut was feeling both guilt and gratitude towards Isolda.

‘It must have been to buy time by trusting the adventurers… That’s right, I was injured like this while trying to protect myself. I haven’t done anything good in the meantime, so far… ‘

Lee Sol is covered in blood with a bandage on one side.

Maybe it’s because they were relieved that the crisis situation had ended safely. There was a noticeable calmness on her face.

“Then, let’s leave the finishing touches to the adventurers and the soldiers from the capital. Let us stop and go back.”

“yes… okay.”

Lee Solda answered with a smile, and while watching this, Bahamut also showed a light smile on his lips.

“That… is that really?”

“Yes, it is. This is information I heard directly from those who attempted the assassination.”

“Huh.. How could such a thing happen in broad daylight… It could have been a real big deal.”

At the unexpected report, King Mohichi’s face began to look bewildered.

Bahamut’s assassination attempt he had just heard about.

Behind the incident, there were Sakiels who were watching his movements with a bad eye. Fortunately, Bahamut was not injured, but several members of the Beden Merchant were said to have been injured.

It could be said that it was enough to sweep the heart from the king’s point of view, who was entrusting the national fortune to Bahamut right away.

“I was expecting it to some extent, but as expected, Sakiel’s resistance is very severe.”

“That’s right. Still, I think it is fortunate that the risk has been publicized in this way.”

At the words of the chief chamberlain, the king nodded slowly.

“I agree with you on that part. With this, the justification has been firmly established, so I can more clearly draw a line with the Sakiels.”

It was Bahamut who was helping Hungary to rebuild the Black Legion, and Sakiels attempted to assassinate Bahamut.

Now that we have even got clear evidence of this. It was as if the Hungarian side, which had only been paying attention, had a cause to formally hostile Sakiels.

“At this time, enmity against Bahamut is an expression of enmity against Hungary. As soon as the rebuilding of the Black Legion is complete, prepare to announce this fact.”

“I understand, Your Majesty.”

If a clear line is drawn between Hungary and Sakiel, even the Drago Empire will not be able to recklessly attack Hungari, where the peace treaty is at stake.

In addition, when the reconstruction of the Black Legion is over, Sam will no longer have the strength to attract Hungary as Sakiels.

So, although his heart sank for a moment, a smile of relief and joy began to bloom on the king’s face as he recognized that the situation had changed more positively.

“Poetry.. failed?”

“N.. Yes… I. I’m really sorry. As you said, even though I aimed for the moment when the security was weakest, the defense was so solid… ”

Watching the elder lower his head in apologetic expression, the man clenched his fists so strongly that his beautiful hands bled.

“no. anyway it is How can you throw in assassins and not be able to inflict a single wound? How thoroughly did you defend yourself?”

“I didn’t know exactly because I saw it from afar, but… It seems that we knew that we were going to attack and even dug a trap in advance. Some even disguised themselves as our assassins.”

“Kuh… After all, the number is not normal Is this? Bahamut… He is also a great man Why would such a person try to disturb us at this time? ”

“uh… What should I do? As it turns out, the restoration work of the Black Legion is almost finished. If things go on like this, Hungary might really come back to life…”

“No… never do that How much did you struggle for this job? I can’t overturn the finished meal now.”

He speaks in a cold voice while shaking his fists.

The man who was listening to the story asked in a cautious voice.

“Then maybe. What other way do you have? For example, a secret plan to bring down that king and Bahamut…”

“Sigh… How could such a good number come so easily… !”

At that moment, his fists suddenly opened, and a quiet smile began to spread on his lips.

“no… right. If you think about it, it’s not that there isn’t a way.”

“… Yes?”

At that, a question rose on the man’s face, and he started to smile a little, showing white teeth like white jade.
