105 – Hylinx – (1)

After Lynthia’s declaration, things were done in a flash.

First of all, the fact that the empress was leaving the capital was kept a secret. It was because of Yuriard’s opinion that the existence of the empire might be endangered if the already insufficient guards and troops of the imperial palace were turned to the emperor’s escort.

Above all, there was a possibility that a group like Arwen who was aiming for Lyncia’s life might intervene if they headed to Highlings in a riotous manner. The Apostle of the Abyss might smell it and hide away from us.

So now, in the drawing room, I was listening to a lot of nagging noises that I didn’t expect.

“Remember. No matter what happens, Your Majesty comes first.”

The old knight in front of me, Yuriard, asked me with a hard expression.

I nodded in succession to the advice I heard hundreds of times throughout the day.

“Yes. I will keep that in mind.”

“If anything goes wrong with His Majesty, then I will tear you to death.”

“Oh, how scary.”

“This bastard… ….”

As he replied in a half-hearted way, the thready veins that separated Yuriard’s forehead popped out.

My fists might cry if I go further. I added hastily.

“I know that. Doesn’t it mean to finish the work quickly and inconspicuously as much as possible? The deadline is two weeks.”

“Yes. If His Majesty doesn’t show up anymore, they’ll arouse suspicion.”

“How many people know this?”

“Guardian knights, and Seira-nim and her death row inmates. Finally, I only know Lucy.”

“Nyehe?!”

Lucy, who had been dozing off at the last words of Euread, suddenly came to her senses and stood upright.

Uriard gave a small sigh.

“…… I’m going to have to change that somehow.”

Isn’t that narcolepsy?

I didn’t expect to fall asleep in this situation.

“I’m sorry.”

With Lucy bowing his head behind him, Yuri Erd crossed his arms.

“Whoa… ….”

But he also stopped talking and shook his head as if he had no intention of further questioning.

“This is absolutely ridiculous. To think that His Majesty would leave the capital in such a bleak situation.”

“I think so too. But…… It’s because you’re so stubborn.”

“Yes. That is the problem.”

One of Lynchia’s insistence was to go away from the rain.

It was her caution to follow her will as much as possible so as not to frustrate her once she made her decision.

And that was true of Uriard as well.

Anyway, the subjugation of the Apostle of the Abyss was a strategy to be carried out in utmost secrecy.

For this reason, the carriage of the Duke of Liantur was also canceled. If Seira and I went home in a dazzling carriage for no reason, we would attract everyone’s attention.

In exchange, a shabby wagon was provided. Except for the coachman, we were scheduled to move in the luggage compartment.

“Yuria Enruin.”

Suddenly, Yuriad said Yuria’s name.

Yuria Enruin. Originally, a villain whose body was split in half by Yuriad in the second act and died. But now our informant.

“That kid is a murderer who has already tried to take Your Majesty’s life once. Can I trust you?”

Uriard asked seriously, and I affirmed.

“You can trust it.”

Shrugged his shoulders.

“The reason why I became a priest of the church…… It was also because of the tragedy of Iscobal at the time. Most of all, right now, I’m just suffering from a sugar addiction that’s crazy about Lautrec.”

“That’s poignant.”

As Yuri Erd said with an expression of boredom, the girl in the corner of her parlor raised her hand.

“Hey, hey… …. Anyway, as long as she does it where she is.”

From noble mtl dot com

Paktong said with tears in his eyes.

It’s a pity that she is called in without knowing why and is even being talked to by her. She wondered if she would curse at her, but no matter how much she was, she didn’t have the confidence to pour out her vicious words in front of Uriard.

Yuri Erd nodded her head in agreement, and she confirmed it again.

“Yes. Don’t leave that up to you By the way, would you be okay with yourself? Wouldn’t it be better to have Milia or another knight with you?”

“Enough. There is also an Archmage. Besides, if I told Milia to go to Highlings, would you listen?”

“Heh heh. That too.”

He’ll probably be busy running away all day.

Thinking of Milia hiding in fear, she involuntarily laughed.

“By the way.”

I turned my gaze to the side. Then, there was a space blocked by a small door, and inside there was the sound of rubbing clothes.

“Yeah~. Aren’t you so pretty? There is no such thing as a complete doll!”

“Ahahahahaha… ….”

It’s time to come out soon.

Just in time, there was the sound of a door opening and Seira entered her room with her face spinning.

And she said to me with a smile on her face as if she was having fun.

“Fried-kun. Don’t be surprised to see it.”

“What do you mean?”

“What is it? It’s His Majesty’s elegant appearance.”

Seira slipped aside. Then the figure of Lynxia behind her body came into her eyes.

And.

“Mmm.”

Uriard drooled.

She had a lot to say, but she couldn’t bear to say it.

I also had a feeling that came to mind as soon as I saw Lyncia.

“This is… ….”

I calmly glanced at Lincia.

Her platinum-colored hair, which extended to her chest, was tied to one side and curled around her tail, and she was wearing a shabby light green satin uniform instead of the auburn robe she had previously worn. Lastly, even the rather baggy mouse-colored overalls.

Right now, Lyncia was the undisputed servant of the Liantur family.

Of course, it is a disguise to hide her identity.

“How is it, Fried?”

Lyncia looked at me with a slightly anticipatory look in her eyes.

I was also quite surprised by her unusual appearance.

However.

“…… Can I tell you the truth?”

“What, what is it?”

Lyncia swallowed and asked.

I chose my words carefully.

“What can I say… …. It really doesn’t suit you.”

“Eh… ….”

Lyncia’s face turned blue.

But beside her, Lucy began to nod her head vigorously in sympathy.

Euriad also didn’t say anything. He just shrugged his shoulders saying he agreed with what I said.

Lyncia asked, not knowing what to do.

“Where are you going?”

“Just, overall.”

Of course, that didn’t mean that Lincia was ugly.

On the contrary, it was very beautiful.

Even though she was wearing the clothes of her attendant, her white jade-like skin and graceful features reminded me of a peerless handsome boy. Even her hair, rolled up like her dumplings, exuded a strange charm.

But that was the problem here.

Right now, Lyncia shouldn’t be all that beautiful.

“It is really beautiful and nice, but there is a problem. It doesn’t look like a disguise.”

“Ah.”

At that, Lynxia reflected her body in the full-length mirror next to her.

And the next moment, she opened her mouth slightly as if she realized what I meant.

Shoes on dog’s feet, pearl necklace around pig’s neck. Should I say the opposite?

Now, to Lyncia, no matter how hard she tried to hide it, nobility was emanating from her whole body.

If you walk outside like this, rumors that the emperor has appeared on the street will surely spread throughout the continent.

“This is holding my ankle like this.”

Too beautiful is the problem.

Lynxia bowed her head shyly, and Seira, the coordinator, smiled.

“Um… …. Certainly, I hadn’t thought of that. So what do we do? Wouldn’t it be better to put on a mask?”

“That makes you look even more suspicious.”

“Then why not disguise yourself with magic?”

That suggestion was refuted by Uriard.

“I don’t think they can’t use a magic sensor.”

“That’s true too.”

The discussion idled without yield.

Let’s wait for a while.

“Me, me, me! I have an opinion!”

Lucy raised his hand.

“What is it?”

“Why don’t you just disguise yourself as a noble lady?”

“What?”

“Anyway, I wondered if it would be okay to pretend that it was just a descendant of the Duke of Liantur. Just like the color of your hair…… , How…… Would you? Sorry for the presumptuous comments.”

As if Seira was praising Lucy’s words, she looked at Lynthia with strange eyes.

And she nodded her head in agreement.

“Yes. That sounds good, sure. Will it be all right, Your Majesty?”

“Yes, yes. Anything is fine.”

“Then I’ll take you inside.”

Seira took Lyncia’s hand again and walked towards her dressing room.

I was strangely happy that the backs of the two looked like they were friends of the same age.

Of course, Seira was an old maid of almost thirty.

She feels it all over again, but in this world there are too many people whose looks don’t match her age.

“… ….”

After a while, the sound of clothes rubbing is heard again.

It was Lucy who broke the silence.

“Hey, can I ask you something?”

“What else?”

“If Your Majesty leaves, the seat becomes vacant, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then, wouldn’t it be possible to go there in absolute secrecy?”

That was a valid question.

And she wasn’t such a fledgling youngster that she didn’t even prepare her countermeasures.

“There is a reason why the deadline was set at two weeks. Until then, the band should play a role to some extent. Of course, I won’t show myself.”

“…… Treason? Who is that?”

“You are someone I know well. I’ve been watching His Majesty right next to him for a long time, so I’m clearly aware of his personality, and I can see his duties as the emperor to some extent.”

“Oh! So who is it?”

Lucy lit up her eyes in interest.

And Uriad laughed.

“Why did I call you Lucy?”

“…… To take care of His Majesty?”

“Ha.”

Yuri Erd snorted at her and then shut her mouth.

And then everyone’s eyes were on her.

“Huh? Eh?”

Lucy tilted her head, unable to understand the situation by herself.
