028 Royal Palace

Holy Knight (Daim) Celestia spoke up to squeeze me out, looking closely at me face to face on the couch.

"- Hard to believe in Russia."

The words that came out were negative, but Celestia's expression is already quite different from the one she had earlier, making her angry.

Seeing that, I got up off the couch.

"I'm not here to tell you to believe that.

I hunt down the Demons for my purpose. That's all. "

――――

Celestia heard the words and looked a little overwhelmed.

I looked at Celestia and tried to walk out of the room.

But the moment I turned my back on Celestia, she opened her mouth as if to stop it.

"I am..."

The virtues of the earlier prestige (no) have disappeared, and there is also a clear stray in the voice color.

"- I am a sinner.

Of course there are things I don't remember or I want to excuse myself.

But it is true that he moved his army against His Majesty's will and received the life of prudence (Kinshin).

Unfortunately, I cannot go against His Majesty's life again "

What Celestia is saying is no longer just an excuse for herself.

I proceeded to the door and looked back to Celestia and said:

"-Then that's where you're shrinking.

If that's how you don't protect this country (Harland), you just protect your “self-esteem”.

If you don't like it - take your sword and fight it properly. "

In that statement, Redmond reacted to the boulder.

"- You want the Holy Knight (Daim) to get out of here?"

"I wonder if the crime of conspiracy is capital punishment anyway?

It only depends on the degree of waiting and dying, or fighting and dying without waiting. "

"You, didn't you have the confidence to save the Holy Knight (Daim)!

Angry with what I said, Redmond shouts out loud.

"I'm sorry I fought with a man who didn't want to fight for himself."

"You -!"

When Redmond eats and tries to hang, the door opens and a soldier who was outside walks in.

"What are you fussing about!

Seeing that, Redmond got an awkward look.

Because if you get in trouble, both the Western Knights and Celestia will be in a bad position.

I interrupted between the soldier and Redmond, Nico said with a laugh.

"- Nothing, nothing.

More than that, for the Holy Knight (Daim), I'd like some water.

Can you ask the maid?

The two soldiers who come in look inside the room and make sure they all don't move silently, reluctantly listen to the request.

I slapped Redmond on his back and led him to the door.

Redmond has no choice but to thank Celestia and leave the room first.

I followed Redmond, too, out of the room.

When I leave the room, a maid (maid) carrying water tries to enter the room instead.

Suddenly, for a moment, my gaze and that of the maid staggered.

- I'm leaving as I am.

It was a dark-haired, strangely beautiful woman (maid).

Returning to the Western Knights branch, Redmond expressed his anger by tapping his desk when he returned.

"What the hell are you doing?!? What you did didn't just curse the Holy Knight (Daim)!

When I stood in front of Redmond, I said it was not particularly bad.

"No, that's fine.

So far, it's going according to my assumptions. "

"- Let me know what the assumption is."

I laugh a little when I hear it.

Unfortunately, I'm not going to let Redmond hear it from me beyond.

"Redmond, do me a favor."

"Do me a favor for this period.

What is it? "

There is no atmosphere where I abandon myself slightly, but Redmond tries to listen to me.

"I have something to do after this.

And after this, I can't show my face here for a while.

So, please, whoever's looking for something from now on, don't know anything about it. "

Redmond laughed lightly when he asked for my favor.

"- Are you running away?"

"If you think so, think so"

Redmond just waved to me to get out of my chair.

"- Okay. I'll do what I want.

Just walk away. "

When I heard that, I decided to leave the Western Knights Branch.

When I returned the knight's medal and armor, I went back to the inn to eat alone.

Then we go out again and check around the royal palace.

So far it doesn't seem to be making any particular noise.

Grace is also a good diver.

Originally, I was thinking of a plan not to let the royal palace intrude, but I believed Grace's statement that I could intrude without any problems and took this form.

Much depends on her work beyond this.

Nevertheless, the woman (maid) was dazzled (mabu).

I don't think I've ever seen Grace in a proper skirt before.

I'd like you to be dressed like that all the time from tomorrow if you can...

After the sun went down, I checked my position and headed to the royal palace.

I'm supposed to meet Sylvia in an alley near the Royal Palace.

Sylvia brightened her expression as she saw me approaching.

"Kay, how'd it go?

Sylvia contacted me.

What she is looking for is Celestia.

"You're right.

And then Grace should be doing well. "

Sylvia snorted (nodding) when she heard it and took my arm at Xu (Omoro).

"You should be less alert to walk at night."

When I laugh, I put my arms around me to lean against me.

A soft feeling hit my arm.

If Grace sees me, something troublesome is going to happen.

Me and Sylvia move southeast of the Royal Palace. Looking over, around the outer wall of the Royal Palace, several soldiers are placed as watchdogs.

"- Assuming the soldiers don't move, what do I do?

Sylvia interrogated me with some anxiety.

"No, move.

Soldiers at the gate will not move, but soldiers who keep an eye on the outer perimeter will always move if there is anything abnormal on the outer wall.

So don't worry.

- Of course, we can't just relax. "

"- Okay."

When Sylvia meditates on me with one eye, she walks out close to the southeast corner of the Royal Palace and stands by unseen from the soldiers.

When I dropped Sylvia off, I walked southwest of the Royal Palace.

How long has it been? I can see in the tranquillity of the night that something broke the glass.

A little while later, the magic of the light source (the light) dotted (both) for a moment from where Sylvia was away.

- It's a signal.

When I rush out to the northwest of the Royal Palace to avoid making as much noise as I can, I put a light source (light) on the top of the outer wall of the Royal Palace one after the other.

As I run away, the top block of the outer wall itself is close to the feeling of one glow after another.

Light sources (lights) happen to be more than ten, illuminating the interior and exterior of the royal palace.

The area was wrapped in brilliant (like this) lights and quickly turned into a daylight situation.

As soon as possible, the royal palace is surrounded by noise and multiple footsteps are approaching with butterflies.

It's like it was an enemy attack.

When I hung the magic of a light source (light) on nearly twenty exterior walls, I escaped to the back alley while maintaining it.

Already outside the outer walls of the royal palace, many soldiers are gathered.

I took a big detour from the royal palace to the side and moved to the destination.

It wasn't long before I arrived at the Eye and Nose Inn from the southeast of the Royal Palace.

When I moved to the room I had taken in advance, there were three people already dressed in coats.

"- Are you safe?"

When I called out and walked into the room, everyone's gaze turned to me.

Grace, Sylvia, and - there is the figure of the Holy Knight (Daim) Celestia.

"Kay, this is as planned."

Grace smiled at me and said. Look, I haven't seen him in a black suit in a long time.

Looking at Celestia, she looks this way, but she remains silent.

"- Are you not serious?

When I spoke to Celestia, Celestia answered after a few thoughts.

"- No.

This is the path I chose.

- But I didn't think it would be easy to get out of the royal palace.

I feel sorry for the Royal Palace. "

I laugh when I hear it.

Here's my plan.

Grace breaks in and prepares to exit Celestia and the Royal Palace.

When it's night and ready, open the window, break the dishes, and Grace leaves the room in the name of cleaning it up.

Grace sleeps the wary soldier outside the window and takes Celestia out of the building.

I light a light source (light) on the outer wall opposite the royal palace and gather the wary soldiers.

In the meantime, Sylvia crosses the outer wall with a magical staircase made of overlapping rock walls (rockwall), leading Grace and Celestia out -.

The light source (light) was applied when I first met Grace before, and I was surprised that I lit the light source (light) on Grace's sword tip.

In this world (Florence), there are people who can use magic in a proportion of about one in four, and almost all of them can use life magic, including light sources (lights).

However, the magic of light sources (lights) is commonly dotted on one's body, such as fingertips, and few people can dot it other than one's body.

Some wizards (soothsarahs) seem to have people who can dot light sources (lights) on wands that pass magic, but there are still no light sources (lights) that don't pass magic.

That is why the fact that the outer walls, which could not have glowed, led to great vigilance.

Next, the magical staircase of Sylvia's rock wall (Rockwall), which was applied to Sylvia's use of multiple rock walls (Rockwall), like a cauldron (Kama), in the battle with the Great Ghost (Auga) ahead.

The magic of the wall system is not so difficult in itself, but it is usually quite difficult to create and maintain two or three walls at the same time. Do it, Sylvia's special.

That's why the Royal Palace was not made from the start with assumptions such as making magic stairs out of rock walls (rock walls) and coming over the outer walls.

In addition, the fact that neither light sources (lights) nor rock walls (rockwalls) harm the royal palace or soldiers is significant.

When this place involves destruction and killing, we become total traitors.

Quickly, putting Celestia alone outside was the best course of action.

As a result, Celestia, who was submissive and could not have escaped, planned to escape, and by three unexpected means, the walls that were not supposed to glow glow and the walls that could not have been crossed, Celestia would have been able to escape lightly outside the royal palace.

What's more, this inn, which we secured as a meeting place, is “closest” to the room where Celestia was cautious.

You wouldn't expect an escaped person to stay so close on purpose.

This is what's behind it too.

I look out the inn window.

From the inn window you can see the outer wall of the royal palace. Numerous soldiers were seen around the outer walls.

Time has already passed by turning off the magic of the light source (light). Soldiers returning to their positions would soon have noticed that Celestia had fled.

The atmosphere surrounded the royal palace. Some ordinary people came to see what was going on.

"- You're making a fuss about boulders."

I said so and laughed.

"Are you glad you didn't go out of Wang Du (Ansel)?

Sylvia asks me.

"Yeah, I don't have to leave.

Anyway, we want to be inside this capital. "

When I said that, Celestia opened her mouth in response to that remark.

"That's for sure, isn't it?

"Sure.

Unfortunately, I didn't find the demon (Kurt) I was chasing. "

"- Does that mean that there are at least two demons in the Wang capital (Ansel): the demon you found and the demon you were chasing?"
