The skillful escape of Teckil caused the prison guards face to harden and sink down with a pale expression, but as soon as he got his sanity back, he imdiately reported the incident to the upper echelons.
Hiyomi who received the report imdiately headed to the prison cell. And upon seeing the small hole made on the wall he muttered in a very low voice
They got us
(Soone must have helped this escape..but who could it be?)
The disturbing elents in this country were supposed to have been roughly dealt with by Avoros. And all the citizens have already been brain-washed... then who could possibly be the one who took the risk to help the Evila, Teckil.
Or rather how did that person even know that Teckil was imprisoned here in the first place...
A lot of questions ca up one after another, but none among them could he answer. That said, Kainabi should have been confined here as well.
She was sent here by the Predecessor Demon Lord to cool her head for a while, because she had raised her hands against her comrades.
Of course unlike the other prisoners, she was provided with a huge room and was treated like a VIP in here, even the beds and the bathroom provided was of a superior quality compared to the other rooms.
Thinking that she might know sothing, Hiyomi headed towards the prison cell where Kainabi was imprisoned. Although it was quite far, theres a possibility she might know sothing.
Upon reaching the prison cell, he opened the grid patterned cell door with a key. Inside was the figure of Kainabi seated leisurely while reading a book in her hand.
Although he could see the bags under her eyes, her physical condition overall didnt seem to be that bad.
"......Ah? What is it, has the order been withdrawn?"
"Thats right, it was just a light punishnt anyway. If you swear that you would never raise your hands on your comrades again, then I can let you out. That was the order that was passed to by the His Majesty."
"...........I will absolutely hit that bit*h Isuka"
"........."
To her murmur, Hiyomi responded that she was Foolish, which caused Kainabi to glare at Hiyomi as if he was getting out of line.
"Even though Isuka was close by, His Majesty got beaten down! Its because that bit*h didnt do anything."
"I have told you many tis already. That was the His Majestys order."
"Even so, it is obvious that His Majestys life should be given the top priority!
"So His Majestys order should be violated?
"I dont care what the orders were as long as His Majesty lives"
Her loyalty is really sothing.
"I would have given my life for His Majesty anyti"
"My family was killed, my body was tampered with, and in the end I was thrown away because I wasnt needed anymore. I had lost my reason and will to live. But at that ti, His Majesty held out his hand to ! He told that I was needed! He said that I was indispensable!"
Kainabis bitter smile turned to a gleeful smile.
"His Majesty is like a parent to , the most important person to . Thats why I will never forgive Isuka who was unable to protect His Majesty!"
She only has only one priority, and that is Avoros life. She, who sees the world in such a narrow perspective, could only judge the behavior of Isuka as an act of betrayal.
Especially to those who would hurt Avoros. She will never betray her comrades, NO there is no way that she would betray Avoros. But, if it is to protect Avoros, she has the madness to even bare her fangs towards her comrades.
(Now how should I deal with this..)
Although Hiyomi could sohow relate to her thoughts on the matter, but among all those who have gathered to support His Majestys objectives, there were only few who adored him. But the rest were only acting together because their interests overlapped.
Although all these people do consider Avoros as their king and follow unconditionally, unlike Kainabi, they place more importance on His Majestys orders rather than his life.
Thats why they do not go against the orders of Avoros. Even if the content of his order ant hurting himself in the process, theyd still obey him.
It may be difficult for Kainabi to accept her comrades' ideas where strength and vector of desires differ in the first place.
"...... but comrades are still comrades. I wont ask of you to get along with them, but you should still compromise when you must compromise."
"........che"
"Its fine if you mostly give priority towards the life of His Majesty. But know that everyone is not like that. It doesnt an they are betraying His Majesty"
"..........I understand that much as well."
Although her expression doesnt prove she was convinced, Hiyomi still continued on.
"Then you shouldnt fight with your comrades. Even His Majesty wouldnt like it if this goes on.
"...........but it was Isukas fault"
She mumbled in a childlike voice.
"It is fine if you cause mischief. But you should not take it any further. It would be troubleso to have such problems arise while His Majesty is still asleep."
"I- I know that, damn it! Anyway, what did you co here for? "
"We can finally get down to business."
"What do you an? Co to think of it, you seem to be in quite a hurry."
Hiyomi recounted the escape of Teckil from the prison.
"Hmph. Even though he was originally His Majestys subordinate..."
Bloodlust again oozed from Kainabi.
"I ca to ask .if you know sothing about it but it seems that you dont anything as well
"It cant be helped now, because it seems that he has already escaped from the prison!"
"Thats seems to be so"
"Ah, but there was this odour I slled a while ago
"What odour?"
"Who was it again.the one who ruled on behalf of the king of this country before His Majesty arrived"
"...........Judom Lankers?
"Ah, that was his na? I slled his odour so ti ago?"
"............is that so"
Her sense of sll is extrely sensitive. If Judoms odour was truly in the dungeon, then it all fits together.
If he thought about it, it wouldnt be strange for him to possibly invade this place. In addition to his strength, he was also on good terms with King Rudolph, so he would also know the structure of the Imperial Castle.
Although it was still a mystery how Judom managed to pinpoint where Teckil was imprisoned, it was very likely that Judom was the one ca to help Teckil.
(As I thought we should have killed him. I knew his existence would cause more problems later on..)
The strength of Judom was even acknowledged by Avoros. He is an opponent you cant guard against. Avoros succeeded last ti in kicking him out of this country, but as expected he should have pursued and killed him.
".....For the ti being lets go Kainabi"
"Eh? Is that ok?"
"Yeah, Im going to examine this castle completely and plug all the holes. Then no more rats can co in through the holes again."
"Geh, are you going to make do that?"
"No, you go on ahead and search for Judom Lankers with Bi-Johnny."
"..........no way, I dont want to partner with that gay bast*rd again.."
It was obvious that she disliked being paired with Bi-Johnny, but if he were to listen to her, he would certainly feel bad.
"Anyway, prepare to pursue"
"............well. I was dying of boredom anyways. Um, but before that, is it fine if I see His Majesty before then?"
"Do as you wish"
Kainabi laughs while grinning happily. Hiyomi thought that she looked like a normal Lolita when she laughed this way.
And so Hiyomi left the prison along with Kainabi.
(Judom Lankers..Ill rember this)
--------------------------------------------
Judom, who rescued Teckil, got on the big bird created from Teckils Paint Magic, and the two of them left Victorias by them.
They were heading towards the hideout as Judom guided, but mid-way, they decided to walk the rest of the path. If they were to continue from the sky, they might attract unnecessary attention.
The two started to advance while slowly checking if there were any pursuers. Since it was a forest, the visibility of the place reduced as they advanced.
But there was nothing there.
".....did we just get lost?"
"Nope, this is the hideout"
"......excuse ? But..there is nothing here though?"
They were surrounded by a curtain of trees, and the adows were spread as long as the eyes could see.
"Follow "
With Judoms lead, Teckil moved his legs while tilting his head. Then when they reached the center of it, he could sense a faint magical power.
(There is sothing.....in here?)
Teckil quietly gazed at the surroundings ahead. Judom who noticed Teckils gaze,
"Hoh, as expected of the senses of an Evila. Did you notice it?"
"Sohow, I can certainly feel sothing but..."
Teckil couldnt figure out what exactly was there. He could just feel that there was sothing in this place. The feeling was faint, if one loses concentration for a second, they could easily forget it.
"Then, check it with your eyes"
Judom pushed his back, and stepped on the ground with so montum added into it. Imdiately a small hut appeared in front of Teckils eyes.
"......I-is that a barrier?"
Teckil was then finally able to reach an answer.
"Thats right. This hut cannot be seen from the outside."
It seems that you can only see it after one enters inside.
"It is quite far away from the capital, but this is just a precautionary asure"
There were many adventurers standing nearby the hut. As soon they saw Judom they ca running as if they were waiting for him to co back. And they started to complain instantly.
In order to hear the reason why Judom pushed everyone away and went alone to save Teckil.
(Haha,all of them seems quite angry)
Although they feel happy that Teckil was saved, his adventurer comrades still felt uneasy until he ca back.
But when they saw Judom had co back safely, although they were quite angry, they were all glad.
"Welco back Judom-sama"
In that group of slly n ca the scent of a flower. Teckil was wide eyed in astonishnt when he saw the figure of who had appeared.
(T-that child could it be?)
Teckil dug deep into his sleeping mory and compared it to the person in his presence. Although there were few discrepancies,
(.........there is no doubt about it. She isthe second princess of Victorias........ )
