Sword Pilgrim

Episode 225

“I am afraid of him.”

The Battle of Carpe.

Aristocrats with various titles were gathering and admonishing in front of the queen.

At its center is the Marquis of Carpe.

There was Bathory de’ Medicidi.

The Marquis Bathory, who grew a noble beard, gave advice while adjusting his narrow glasses.

“Go ahead.”

“It is said that Ilshin’s might is not enough even when facing a dragon, and even when facing an army of 30,000, not a single wound remains. Do you know why the corruption and dragons appeared in the empire?”

He is Carpe’s son.

A man well-known as a loser in the north and a hero who saved his country.

I was talking about Colliers von Zervan.

“When I put together the stories of the spies I planted, they say he was at the center of it.”

The mastermind behind the ruin of the empire.

It was a man who was also called the Gray Demon King in the Gray Land.

It is because of Colius leading the dragon and corruption to war against the Empire. Such a story was circulating in Carpe.

“A few months ago, the count already had a precedent of seizing the capital by force. And this time, they even slaughtered 30,000 airmen moving north.”

That’s all.

It is said that he even killed two masters and returned.

“Can you believe this? However, considering the power he has shown so far, it is undeniable.”

“Your Majesty the King. What will His Highness do if, under some circumstances, things go wrong with him?”

“That’s…”

The man who bought God’s wrath.

Besides, its power is infinitely beyond humans, so I dare to ask.

He’s devoted to Carpe right now, but what if he changes his mind?

What if you have a different mindset?

Can we really stop him?

probably won’t stop

“The sword in hand is wielded, not by the sword.”

At the nobles’ advice, the queen was at a loss for words. Even when she thought about it, his stature and power had grown too strong.

To the extent that Carpe couldn’t bear it.

‘I don’t even have the qualifications to be a foolish king who is jealous of the power of his subjects.’

Because he was a powerless king all his life.

“The Medicidi Marquis. I have listened to your earnest advice. However, you can’t stay away from a loyal servant. The achievement he made deserves to be praised. Jagoro The king is the role of ministering to his servants, praising them for their hard work and giving them prizes. I will do my duty properly.”

“But, Your Highness…”

The moment the Marquis of Medicidi tried to say something more. The duke stepped out behind him.

“Then do this.”

A man older than the Marquis and whose hair has turned white.

Judgment Gerald.

It was Duke Gerald de Gestaf.

“How old is Your Highness this year?”

“I have turned twenty-one.”

“Then why don’t you give the count a proper favor?”

“to?”

last name? Clara’s face slowly turned red like a tomato.

“Seo Seong-eun!”

“Your Highness Count is a strong knight. It is also the job of the country to preserve his seed and ensure succession. There would be no greater blessing than receiving his seed and inheriting the lineage of a strong royal family.”

“You mean arranged marriages.”

“Wouldn’t that make the old people’s worries go away?”

Big big.

Clara cleared her throat, drank the tea Viktor brought, and cleared her throat.

“You don’t know about Ruidren’s work, do you? Preserving the lineage is also the duty of the royal family and nobility.”

“That’s right…”

The entire South was pushed back by the Air Force.

Being pushed to Valentine Castle, which can be seen as the center of the south, means that Luidren’s territory has also been completely turned upside down.

Currently, the only known bloodline of Luidren is Lauren von Luidren.

When the situation is like this, the proper thing for the king to do is to give fortune to the heir.

The same goes for Gervan.

“In the first place, he never had a family. It’s my first marriage.”

Although he has a daughter, it is common for him to be an illegitimate child of a nobleman, so considering his achievements, it is not a fault.

The problem is that Zervan has no deficit.

In addition, the anxiety of the aristocrats reached its peak due to this incident, and it bothered them that the king of a country was not married and had no children.

They were full of thoughts of somehow finding a mate for the queen and marrying them.

“today. I don’t think there’s a better husband than that. Please make a wise decision.”

“A wise decision…”

Of course, there were also opposing forces.

“I am against it. His power is too strong. If he marries Your Highness and becomes his sire, he will not only possess the strength of oneself, but also mighty power.”

“you’re right. If he even rebels, who will stop it?”

“If he puts his mind to it, I think it might be possible even now.”

“What kind of nonsense!”

“Isn’t that what you said?”

“Ha but!”

“All right. Please stop it.”

The troubled queen stood up and said.

“Call the saintess of the empire.”

Several days have passed since Luteon died.

Concerned that God might play a trick on him, he turned him into a sword.

However, I didn’t bother writing it.

Because it was right that Ruidren was using the sword, not himself.

Loren promised to use Luteon for the rest of his life and make him pay for his sins with a sword.

In addition, he said that he would keep him by his side for the rest of his life and never forget the work of the day and devote himself endlessly, so he had no choice but to allow it.

The spear he used was put in my scabbard.

A spear made of Ruen is a humiliation to them, so he said that he would put it in a sheath and make it my sword, and Lauren readily agreed.

If you release the corpse of the spear, its soul will go to Lactus, the god of the spear.

For those who have dedicated their lives to the god of spears, the act of denying them their entire life is no different from humiliation and disgrace.

“Father would consider it an honor if I could be with the Count.”

What will happen to his soul when he goes to my scabbard? I don’t know.

I wonder if the soul itself is decomposed and becomes my own power.

But that’s a little sad.

I don’t know if it’s my enemy.

If it’s the power I use to annihilate those who raised the sword with me.

taste was bitter.

Can’t I also embrace those who fight for me.

‘To warmly embrace those who walk a long journey and rest in peace.’

I wanted to.

my scabbard.

I hoped that it would be so, and I hoped a little.

“Are you not crying anymore?”

“Because I spilled a lot. Now I have to build it up again rather than shed it.”

Lauren was a strong kid.

Genos shook his head as if he was admirable and replied.

“With the help of me and Colliers, we will be able to rebuild again in no time. Alphonse will help too, so don’t worry too much. I have to live by helping the four nobles. is not it?”

Nodding her head, Lauren declined.

“I have already had enough help. There is no way I can repay you for more than this.”

“You don’t know what the world is doing.”

“Yes Lauren. You never know when you’ll grow up and have a job helping Colius or my child. We are investing.”

Lauren is 14 years old.

But you never know what kind of articles it will become in a few years.

I don’t know what the world will be like.

So fun and exciting

I also made this place.

I don’t know what will happen in the future.

“Among the nobles of Carpe, we have to help each other and become pillars. Only then will the country stand right.”

“How about the West?”

“They say the Imperial Army has withdrawn. This is top-secret information, but corruption and dragons have appeared. And that suddenly in the center of the empire. You have been punished.”

“Good for you. Thanks to that, Carpe will be able to breathe a little more.”

It seems that the exact information has not been delivered yet.

surely. I came on a dragon, so I came quickly. Originally, the distance between the Empire and Carpe took several months.

Even if you fly a telegram, it will take some time until it is judged accurate.

‘The most important thing in war is information delivery, but that’s definitely not enough.’

Artifacts of that kind are quite expensive, and most of them are not for sale.

Because it is an artifact that must be used on a national basis, it cannot be taken out carelessly.

Even in the Church of Carpe, there is a holy place for pilgrims to check the location called Acusium, but it is not possible to transmit information.

“Callius. What now?”

“What do you mean?”

“I can’t stay here forever, can I? Officially, you haven’t been given a king’s mandate.”

“It doesn’t.”

The Imperial Army in the west has withdrawn, but the Air Force will not. I still don’t know what happened to the gongnyeo.

In the south, the air force that lost its commander is retreating, but we cannot be vigilant.

“We have to defend against their attack again and defend the South.”

Although I slaughtered 30,000 troops as I came, I can’t kill all the air force that way. It was possible because they were resting in the castle.

If you decide to divide the military and use tactics, it will take a long time to catch the air force.

And defending the South is not my job.

Although young, the master of the south is Luidren.

This is what Lauren here has to do.

‘I can help, but I can’t do it for you.’

Even though he is young, he will now become the master of the South.

“Go back.”

“hmm.”

“Genos. Aren’t you going?”

“I must have been hurt. I’m going to rest slowly in the south for a while.”

The moment he nodded and tried to summon the ironclad dragon.

“Callius. You’re not going to ride an ironclad dragon to the royal capital, are you?”

“…I’m surprised.”

“There will be an uproar.”

I guess so.

“You are the hero who destroyed the southern 30,000 air force. deserves to be praised If not you, who else will be praised by the people in this country? I’ll attach a horse and an escort to you, so you can properly enter the castle gate. We need to raise public sentiment as well as show it. Because that is the duty of our nobles.”

“…You seem to be saying the right thing after a long time.”

“I don’t want to live seriously either.”

The two broke up with a smile and didn’t say goodbye.

Genos and Lauren.

While keeping my eyes on the two of them, I headed for the capital. Because I had to sound the news of victory in the hearts of the impoverished people.

Click.

The Queen’s Garden in the Royal Castle.

Hana, who is drinking tea there, is a woman with thickly braided gray hair and a sophisticated attitude, giving off a mysterious atmosphere.

Clara, Queen of Carpe.

She is currently a saint of the Empire.

I was enjoying refreshments with Ailee.

From the outside, it was nice to see the two of them drinking tea.

Even the flowers in the flower garden were about to be stunned by their beauty.

However, in reality, the conversation between the two was not so friendly.

“I heard. Your appearance has changed a lot now, but you were born in a southern aristocrat. He said it was Berryaren.”

The Queen’s information power is wider and deeper than expected.

She has always been good at listening and filtering things out.

It was a story that I had no choice but to know even if I wanted to know that the saintess of the empire was originally a noblewoman of Carpe.

“I won’t ask what happened. I wouldn’t have just climbed to where I am now. It must be the position that Gwa-in could not experience and rose to the position.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

“I don’t have much time, so forgive the rudeness of asking simply.”

he is coming

The story needs to end quickly.

The nobles fear Colliers.

Human beings keep away from what they fear, and even threaten them in the end.

It is a self-preservation instinct that all animals have.

So I didn’t know what they would do if they dragged on for a long time.

Clara had to make a decision.

“What kind of relationship does the saintess have with the daughter of Count Zervan?”

“….”

“There are many, many rumors going around in the world. But among dogs, the truth is also cleverly hidden. A king of a country is also a person who finds and covers such hidden things.”

“…I am.”

Looking down at the saintess who was speechless, Clara straightened her back.

He said with the appearance of a queen.

“There will be marriage talks between me and the count.”

“…”

Startled.

“He is a strong man.”

“But it is just as dangerous. It seems that the aristocrats’ anxiety has increased.”

She is also a saint of the empire.

I know very well about the physiology of the country.

“yes. So I must bear it.”

“…Congratulations.”

“You won’t have much time with your daughter… so make sure you spend enough time.”

“yes?”

Ailee, who couldn’t come to her senses at the queen’s rambling speech, looked straight at Clara.

“You swore to God that you would cooperate as much as possible during your captivity. So, I can give you one name.”

“yes.”

“Sir Ailee, the saint of the Empire. As the Queen of Carpe, I will give you a royal order.”

chuck.

The saintess stood up from her chair and bowed her head, accepting the queen’s command.

“Please bring Sir Emily von Zervan. She will be indispensable for the grand state wedding that is about to take place.”

Ailee seemed to know why the queen had told her about the marriage.

If the national marriage takes place, he will probably return to the empire.

Perhaps it was the order to bring Emily.

‘The consideration of the queen who became the same woman.’

I won’t have time to spend with my daughter anymore.

It means to pass the time.

And probably.

‘You’re putting me to the test.’

The queen looked at the back of the saintess as she walked out with swaying pupils for a long time before turning her head.

“We’ll see if you’ll take Lord Carliers or Emily or the Empire.”

whatever it was

As Queen Dory and her would-be companion, she had to know.

What is in the heart of the saintess?

if it harms him

It’s okay to get rid of it at all costs.
