EP.134
The Duke of Windsor.
The most honorable family of knights who protect the empire from the pouring monsters of the north.
In a way, it was natural that there were many people in the empire who were fascinated by the North.
As a result, free knights from all over – rcenaries who want money – co to the North.
However, the North is sensitive to security and does not allow anyone to enter the fourth defense line where Windsor Castle is located.
So the first place they look for is the first line of defense, which is the least difficult.
The place where they gather is the first line of defense, the ‘rcenary quarters’. Those whose identity is not certain are kept here.
“Is it full?”
“yes. That’s right. I’m glad that business is doing well these days. haha.”
The owner of the rcenary quarters is a bald man with a large tattoo on his forearm.
His na was Colon, and he had quite a reputation as a mber of the 1st Knights of Windsor.
“That’s a good thing.”
“This is all for my precious youngest… I am so sorry. “Luid, the youngest son of the just Duke of Windsor who protects this place…”
“Tina, you’re forcing praise.”
Ruid and Colon knew each other. This is because Colon originally worked in the 4th line of defense.
He is 86 years old.
He served in the 1st Knights of Windsor, but when he beca older and weaker, he worked as a guard.
He lived most of his life for the safety of the northern people.
He also often visited Ruid, who was often lost. Ruid was happy to see one of the few people he knew.
“But what are you doing here? “The rcenary quarters are not a place for Ruid to stay.”
Ruid stood on tiptoe and placed a note on the counter table. Colon tilted his head and read the note.
“huh?”
The eyes gradually narrowed as he read the note.
“This is my first na. “Who wrote this letter?”
“My sister.”
“It’s not Alia, so is it Captain Irene?”
‘Isn’t my little sister being ignored too much?’
Ruid blinked.
“Irene’s information would be certain. At least there is no one here with the sa na. “You lied about your na.”
Colon spoke calmly, but his eyes were bright.
Not only did he lie about his identity at the inn he ran, but he also bothered people of noble blood who respected him so much.
“Already Cerberus was running low on food, but it worked out well. “There are a lot of people, so let’s feed them weekly.”
“…No, that’s too cruel.”
“I’m sorry. “Luid, you’ve been growing up for quite so ti, but you’re saying bad things…!”
“I’ll just find out accordingly.”
Ruid was not a psychopath.
There’s no doubt it was suspicious, but I wanted to properly figure out the cause.
“Do the colon as usual. “Do you have any guesses beyond that?”
“yes. If there were about 7 people, they would co all at once. I rember it because the quality of the equipnt was good. “He seed wealthy, at least for a free knight.”
Colon stroked his beard.
“I thought he was so idiot who ca to Seoul from the islands… I thought that after a few days, he would lose his senses to the northern monster and run away crying.”
“It’s a sha. “Because I didn’t run away.”
Ruid took out the shabby cane he had kept crumpled up and aid it at the stairs.
“Oh oh! that…! Isn’t this a God-given staff bestowed upon you by His Excellency? “I heard that 10 Dragon Scale volus have been condensed…”
‘It’s just an ordinary tree branch?’
Ruid was shocked, but he didn’t want to break the old man’s innocence.
“Anyway, are you there?”
“I’m probably going out now. “He always goes out at this ti and cos back late.”
“I see.”
“Are you going to wait?”
The clone asked with sharply forged eyes. Ruid nodded.
“huh.”
He reached into the air and pulled out Phoenix’s pillow from subspace.
“I’d like to go and get so sleep. “If you co, wake up.”
“yes.”
Ruid rubbed his eyes and trudged up the stairs.
Colon cald his eyes coldly as he looked at Luid’s back.
**
“cold!”
“Stop saying it’s cold.”
“Galahead. “Have your lips turned blue?”
“therefore! “I’m dying from the cold, so stop saying it’s cold!”
The knights who had once been called the Teutons –
now known as the Knights of the Garter – were walking the streets of the North.
“Are the other kids doing well in their missions?”
The reason they ca to the north was because they received an imperial order.
Stop the situation before it gets serious.
Then, investigate and report in detail the current situation in the North.
Therefore, they were split into two teams to gather information.
“Honestly. “Isn’t this a different level?”
Galahad Judith Shearer was moving as a team.
They have been friends since the Teutonic Knights, and they have good compatibility, so when they move together, their combat power increases dramatically.
“What level? The standard of living of the people? Or the level of force? Building level? Or Mindo?”
“…You felt the sa way. Judith.”
“huh! Is it really nice here? “To the point where I want to live as much as possible.”
They found a secluded alleyway that wasn’t frequented by people and were talking for a while.
Galahad crossed his arms and sighed.
“I’m talking about force. Do you feel it? “It has a power that even ordinary guards cannot ignore.”
“Height is also superior. I think there is one difference between and the people in the system. And you look good!”
“Well, that’s what I’m going to say. “The won here have big breasts and big butts.”
Judith looked at her chest with a curious look.
…flat.
“Your skin is white too.”
Judith could not bear it anymore and hit Galahad on the back of the head.
“Of course! “It’s almost like there’s no sun here.”
“Then why are you hitting !”
“Both of you, stop.”
Shearer said in a quiet voice.
His face looked a little haggard compared to before. He looked very depressed.
It’s been like that ever since Charon died.
Shearer, the empire’s greatest genius, has changed.
“Because I didn’t co to have fun.”
“…I’m so sorry.”
“we are-”
Shearer fiddled with the handle of his sword.
“I am here to avenge Charon.”
“Wait a minute.”
Judith laughed awkwardly.
“Did you forget? Our mission is ultimately information. “It would be difficult to forget that.”
“Galahead, do you think so too?”
Judith looked at Galahad in confusion.
Galahad said with a stern face.
“Shearer. “I know what you’re thinking.”
And he spoke in a serious voice.
“But it is still too early. Shearer. It’s better not to do anything pointless. “This is their territory.”
Shearer closed his eyes for a mont.
“…Okay, you can show now.”
“what?”
Shearer took out a note from his pocket.
“This is a ssage from Leo who went on a mission.”
“…!”
Leo was a newly appointed knight in the Order of the Garter.
His specialty is assassination.
He was given the sowhat dangerous task of reading Windsor’s movents.
They said they would monitor from a sufficiently safe distance, but it has already been more than two days since contact was lost.
Everyone was worried.
“I’m glad everything happened. “Are you safe?”
I thought he was definitely dead. So Judith was deliberately avoiding ntioning it.
I received the note with a bright smile on my face.
“Windsor…”
Galahad, who was right next to him, also read the note.
Judith’s pupils twitched slightly.
“Preparing for war with the Empire?”
**
“shit! “Why did you tell this now!”
“I told the leader in advance and he said we should hold off for now.”
“Captain!”
“I said I would find out if it was true.”
“Damn it! “We must withdraw quickly.”
The Garter Knights were running toward the rcenary quarters.
To report to the emperor. Because this was a serious issue.
“What are the latecors doing in such a hurry?”
Galahad bit his molars.
The crystal sphere they have cannot communicate over long distances.
I had to contact the Earl of Queensberry’s knights to report to the emperor, but for so reason I did not receive the call.
What I had no choice but to do was withdraw. The North was preparing for war every minute.
“Judith! “Hurry up and call the leader!”
“okay.”
Judith, who was always full of fun, nodded with a serious face.
Galahad reached in front of the rcenary quarters and took a mont to catch his breath.
“Let’s go in. Just in case, withdraw as quietly and quickly as possible. Shearer, don’t show it either.”
Galahad was about to open the door.
“Galahead.”
“Didn’t you hear what I said? They say we have to move quickly. “What are you doing there?”
“Leo is dead.”
“Yes, of course he died… What?”
“I think I’ve been found out. “The handwriting on the letter was urgent and covered in blood.”
“…!”
Shearer said calmly.
“Windsor is taking my precious person away without hesitation.”
“What are you saying in this situation?”
“therefore-”
Shearer smiled.
“I will kill their precious people too.”
