===A Certain Female Holy Knight===
Captain Limule, the investigation about that village in the rumor just started. The closest church in that area just dispatched their priest to investigate the said village in secret.
I see. How's the result?
It's just as you predicted, Captain. The village was nothing more than your average village. None of the villagers beca undead. In addition, the villagers has also testified that a white-haired young man had been staying in the village for so ti.
As I thought.
I nodded, my suspicion about that white-haired undead had been confird after I heard from my vice captain, Porm.
We were in the middle of gathering information about that white-haired undead's activity in Tana Kingdom.
Our Saint lt Religion was spread far and wide, even in this tiny kingdom.
For that reason, it was possible for us to gather information about this kingdom's situation by using the believers' or churchs' information networks in this way.
Honestly speaking, the kingdom should go to investigate the rumor about the village first.
It seed that, by the ti the rumor spread, whether it was the soldiers' territory, the lord of the territory, or even the kingdom itself, ALL OF THEM were too scared to investigate the truth of this rumor.
Naturally, the sa applied for the adventurers.
In fact, the church also refused the investigation request at first, but they finally gave in after I kept pressuring them, insisting that the rumor was wrong.
Well, as long as the said person was a devout believer, they wouldn't even care whether that village really was a den of undead or not. They would happily investigate the rumor if it was God's order.
But then, why did the rumor say that the entire village had already been turned into undead?
The said adventurers duo, the source of that rumor, seems to have vanished from this kingdom.
Could it be that there was so sort of misunderstanding that happened when they visited the village at that ti? Anyhow, from what you said, could it be that the white-haired undead is no longer in that village?
Yes. According to the villagers, he already set out for the royal capital. Though we have no idea about his current whereabouts, the villagers said that he left the village around one week ago.
There was no railroad in this kingdom. The fastest transportation thod was carriage.
As long as he passed by the highway, it wouldn't be strange if he already arrived at the royal capital right now.
But he's walking by fo No, perhaps he can run even faster than a coach? If we assu that he isn't stopping along the way
Anyhow, we had to predict his route as soon as possible.
And it would be more efficient to do that by asking this kingdom to assist us.
At this mont, Beit-dono, the pri minister of this kingdom, ca to visit our place.
His mischievous personality aside, the fact that he managed to beco the number two person in this kingdom within his 30's was a testant of his talent.
Captain Limule, we received another report. Soone witnessed the youth that looked like the No Life King in a town called Attila in this kingdom.
Is that true, Beit-dono?
Yes. This information just arrived yesterday.
In regards to Attila, it was around a three-day journey by carriage.
If we considered his speed so far, he should be moving around the average speed of a carriage.
If he maintained his current pace, he would arrive in the royal capital around the day after tomorrow.
And what was His Majestys reaction according to that information?
I have yet to tell him about the situation. I an, he will definitely flip out once I tell him about this matter.
Y-You're right
When we were in the middle of such a discussion, for so reason, I heard a commotion from the passage right outside of the room.
My line of sight aligned with that of Beit-dono. When we looked at the source of the commotion
OPEN THE PATH! I NEED TO LEAVE THIS KINGDOM AS SOON AS POSSIBLEEEEEE!!!
C-CALM DOWN, YOUR MAJESTY!!! A KING CAN'T ESCAPE FROM HIS OWN KINGDOM!!!
I KNOW THAT! BUT IF I DON'T GET OUT OF THIS KINGDOM IMDIATELY, I'LL BE TURNED INTO AN UNDEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!
The person we saw whining like a child was none other than the king of this very kingdom, Leonhardt.
Seeing the situation, undoubtedly, His Majesty heard about this matter from soone else.
Your Majesty.
AHHH, BEIT! I'VE HEARD THE NEWS!! NOW I'VE GOTTA ESCA
Beit-dono's right hook struck His Majesty's solar plexus before the latter managed to finish his sentence.
ARGH
Leonhardt's large fra crumbled down on the floor as Beit-dono's right hook reaped the forr's consciousness.
Did he just exert violence on his superior?!
I an, was this kingdom's law lenient enough to the point that a pri minister could punch his own king?!
Ignoring my astonishnt, Beit-dono then proceeded to order the servants who ca with the king.
Carry His Majesty to his throne. And then, TIE HIM UP ON THERE with chains. Use locks or whatever is available in order to prevent him from causing another scene like this one.
YESSIR!
The servants obeyed Beit-dono's order and carried King Leonhardt's huge fra back to his throne.
My apologies for such an unsightly display.
Don't worry. It's not a big deal.
Anyhow, we reach a consensus to forget what happened just a while ago as we continued our discussion.
Just as I said a few days ago, I hope that you can leave the matter of No Life King to us. We'll make sure that he won't even take a step inside this royal capital.
Are you absolutely sure that you can achieve such a feat?
Yeah. There's not a single undead that can't be purified by this holy spear. [TL:Liar]
I told him this while puffing out my che*st with pride.
To be honest, it would work on any undead except for one.
But since the undead didn't even fight back, I should keep that a secret from him for the ti being.
After all, he probably wouldn't believe even if I told him that undead wasn't as dangerous as he was believed to be.
He didn't probe deeper and just left everything to us.
I understand. Let's leave this matter to you.
Thank you very much for trusting us.
But then, I still wonder whether we can really accomplish this feat
I muttered those words to myself as I returned to my own room.
Anyhow, my attempt to communicate with that undead last ti had ended up in failure.
Upon recalling my previous attempt to communicate with him, I felt that we could communicate with him.
His expression was enough evidence for to know that he understood what I said instead of rampaging like other undead.
The question was, why did that undead escape as soon as he saw ?
Even though he was practically an undead, he didn't seem to be afraid of being purified by us. Heck, he even sneered at us when we tried to purify him.
He didn't even fight back when we attacked him.
THAT WAS IT!
Co to think of it, he only tried to escape when it was just between him and I.
Could it be that he was actually afraid of ?
No, I don't think that my case was special. After all, I couldn't think of any reason for that undead to be afraid of .
Anyhow, the first thing to do is to show him that we have no intention of hurting him, and then
KNOCK KNOCK.
I snapped back to reality when soone knocked on my door.
Lumile-sama, you have a visitor.
Eh? A visitor for ?
I felt an ominous premonition upon hearing that.
I an, I had no acquaintances in this kingdom.
Tilting my head, I opened the door.
The one who stood on the other side of the door was one of Beit-dono's subordinates and
Long ti no see, Limule.
~??!
I was at a loss for words upon seeing the other person.
This person suddenly ca to the royal palace and said that she was your acquaintance, Limule-sama.
The officer ignored my surprise as he explained the situation.
But his entire explanation went in one ear and out the other.
The officer left and my guest entered my room.
She then proceeded to sit on the sofa, making herself at ho.
I snapped back upon seeing that.
W-What are you doing here Commander?
lt Religion's prided salvation armyAlbert's Holy Knight Orderthe current commander was the strongest holy knight who also beca the youngest commander, Celestia.
And that very person was now sitting right in front of .
Honestly speaking, she wasn't the kind of a person who should be in this kind of place.
No, considering the current situation
She then spoke as if she guessed my train of thought.
Even if you ask , I think you already guessed the reason, right? I ca to subjugate that No Life King.
