88 – Kingdom short selling method 24

Watching what is happening right in front of your eyes,

Isolda, who was mixed with the gaps of the members of the Beden upper ranks, automatically began to frown.

‘Couldn’t be… that woman is him…’

Princess Leila left the room with a woman in a white robe.

Although I couldn’t hear the details, she also had something that Bahamut had already hinted at in advance.

There is now a traitor among the high-ranking Hungarians, so don’t tell anyone about your future plans.

Regarding this, Isolda has always been vigilant and cautious, but she really never imagined that the target would be Princess Layra, not someone else.

‘That means… Could it be that the rumor that Bahamut had a relationship with that woman had something to do with this? To suspect her as a traitor before approaching?’

There was a feeling that there was a bit of a jump, but it was also a story that was possible enough.

Wasn’t it Bahamut who had been working on things while looking forward to things she couldn’t even think of?

It was a reasonable conclusion from Lee Solda’s point of view that her relationship with Princess Layla was also likely to be that way.

‘This… I don’t know if I should consider it fortunate from my point of view. No, that’s definitely a good thing. It turns out that this bastard’s marriage story is nothing more than a mere rumor.’

Reaching such a naturally positive conclusion, Isolda began to focus on the situation in front of her eyes, moving away from the rosy hopes she was beginning to see again.

Although there were guys in black robes coming this way, she felt no threat.

That’s right, according to the plan, what will happen next…

“That’s it.”

The next moment, those who rushed in through another door on the side.

At the center of the group were Bahamut and Ophelia, and at the same time, a number of adventurers were also lined up together.

“Chit..”

People in robes who clicked their tongues as they appeared.

In response, they looked at each other, nodded briefly, and then ran out through the open door.

And..

“sorry. I didn’t know that they would come this way.”

Bahamut unleashing the adventurers and tightening the boundaries of the room.

At the same time, a deep sense of relief appeared on the faces of the nobles who were in crisis.

“Ba.. Lord Bahamut!”

“go. Thank you, if it weren’t for you we would…”

They were the ones who had experienced blades moving back and forth right in front of them just a few seconds ago.

It was a great crisis that even the Royal Guard was considered broken, but thanks to Bahamut who intervened at the right time, they were able to save their lives.

And, seeing them like that, Bahamut spoke in a calm voice.

“I just did what I had to do. Rather, I’m sorry for not paying more attention. I never thought Sakiel would come from all sides like this…”

“Then…then how is the situation now? I hope our Hungary loses..”

“No, it’s not like that. They were just detached troops who came in through the other side of the gate that was poorly defended. The battle outside the castle is still going on, with neither side gaining the upper hand.”

“Hu.. that’s right..”

Although the war situation was still unclear, at least hearing that it was not as serious as their concerns, the nobles’ faces began to noticeably relieved.

“Oh that. Come to think of it, I’m in big trouble, Lord Bahamut! They just kidnapped the former princess!”

“Yes? Is that really it?”

“exactly! The person who seemed to be their leader made a gesture, and the princess followed without resistance, but…”

“How… ”

Bahamut looks puzzled at the nobles’ words.

Then he looked at the nobles in a determined voice and said.

“I can’t. I’ll go outside again and try to find the princess with the adventurers. Until then, please do not leave this room. You never know where the enemies will come from again.”

“Ah.. I see.”

“I will only believe in Lord Bahamut. Please save the princess.”

“Yes, I will definitely do that.”

With those words, Bahamut goes out again accompanied by a small group of adventurers and Ophelia.

Right before leaving, he made eye contact with Isolda, who was mingling in the crowd, and nodded slightly.

Watching that scene, Isolda also nodded slightly and watched Bahamut leave without a word.

And, it is Lee Sol who lies down on the chair in the back.

“Sigh… ”

Contrary to the nervousness she felt just now, in a feeling of greater comfort, she slowly leaned back in her chair and let out a deep sigh.

‘With this, this work is almost finished. Is it only the outside work that remains?’

There was no way for Isolda to know for sure right away, but she wasn’t too worried.

Having more information than others is a good thing in this regard.

While thinking about that, Isolda’s eyes suddenly began to look for the person she hadn’t paid attention to for a while.

‘Come to think of it, where did this kid go again? In this situation with nowhere to go, I can’t see the barrel…’

Although there were quite a lot of people, as she knew that she couldn’t go out of the room anyway, Isolda didn’t worry too much and slowly got up from her seat and started to look around the room.

*

A presence in white robes in front of my eyes.

As Elios followed behind, a smile that could not be hidden bloomed on Laira’s lips.

Probably by now, all the humans in the room would have been slaughtered, and it was clear that the situation outside the castle would soon be tidied up.

In other words, it meant that her plan to sell out the country had finally been perfectly accomplished.

The two arrived in a small room with no one there.

Right after that, Elios took off his robe and looked at Laira, and Princess Laira knelt down and faced her master.

“Elios… Girl, I finally fulfilled all the duties the princess gave me.”

“Yeah, just like you said, everything is over now. All of the plans that have been going on for the past few years.”

Elios speaks in a quiet voice

Listening to this, Princess Leila looked at her master with a smile on her lips.

Elios was looking down at Princess Leila with an expressionless face.

A face as beautiful as a doll with a slight blush.

Showing such a face, Leila spoke with anticipation for the future.

“Indeed it is. Girl.. I worked really hard during that time. So that we can put this country in the hands of Elios and His Majesty the Emperor. We have been doing everything to the best of our ability.”

“Certainly… I did use quite a bit of strength. You used the money we gave you to mobilize the corrupt nobles, and you created an environment where the Sakiels could rampage, so your efforts made this country rot from its roots, leaving it in a very fragile state. It’s to the point where I’m starting to think it’s going to go bankrupt any time soon.”

“Yes, yes… did you?”

Suddenly, the uncomfortable feeling felt in Elios’ voice.

Leila, who was so excited about this, slowly started to put doubts on her face, and Elios said in a cold voice while watching her.

“By the way…you know what? It doesn’t matter what the process is, if it doesn’t produce results, it means nothing. Even after the situation is over, if I don’t have what I want in my hands, it can be said that it is a failure.”

“That…that…what… ”

“Shhh… ”

Leila opens her mouth to the growing doubts and insecurities.

Elios put his finger on her lips and stopped her words.

“Listen to the end… cute baby. If you open your mouth rashly, can you make me not see the moon rising tonight?”

“… ”

It was only then that Layla began to feel that something was seriously wrong with the cold feeling of life that was felt for a moment, but she could not even say anything anymore due to extreme confusion and fear.

And seeing Laira like that, Elios said in a quiet voice, his red eyes with vertical pupils flashing.

“I still don’t seem to have a clear grasp of the situation. To put it simply… yes. That’s it…”

With those words, Elios showed a smile on his lips.

But at the same time, there was an emotion of anger that was clear enough for anyone to know.

“I’m just talking about your total ruin.”
