My Villains Episode 540

68. Traveling to the Royal Road (13)

“I will never go to the Southern Continent.”

Princess Theodora spoke with a firm attitude.

“Of course there will be a calling and a noble mission. But my mission still remains here.”

“If it’s a mission.”

Theodora, who was called by the Hongui bishops, was on her way back to Miteltang, where the Order of Calandari was located.

Regarding the topic that came out of nowhere, Theodore spoke in a serious tone.

“There have been many incidents in Seteniora, High Castle, and the Bay of Blades. I could feel it thanks to you. In the not-too-distant future, something will happen here that will need me... Of course, it was the example Ji-mong that Gyeong showed me that gave me the clearest realization.”

“If it’s a precognitive dream... Are you referring to Abel-sama’s dream?”

Theodora nodded seriously.

“The legacy of the martyred saint reached me and no one else. Talk to the paladin. It’s a calling that can’t possibly be a coincidence, maybe even outright.”

“O huh”

—. r that .

When riding a bicorn, it would be awkward to have a conversation because the eye level was not right at all, so I was riding a warhorse borrowed from a cavalryman. There was no reason to reveal his identity, so it was a bonus that he had a long cloak down below his knees.

I slightly reined in and kept pace with the princess, while quietly holding back the accusation.

“Come to think of it, it’s like passing the burden on me to the princess.”

“Are you passing it on? I don’t even dare.” Princess Theodora, who quickly shook her head

, was also wearing a

shabby brown coat over a brilliant white plate armor ‘pure white’.

It was a small effort on her part not to attract attention, but it seemed to me to be in vain.

First of all, the handsome white horse ‘Brightmere’ attracted the attention of passers-by, and the sergeant revealed under the hood caught their attention in one breath. All that could be seen was white skin without a single blemish and plump salgut-colored lips, but even that was a figure that could not be found in women.

No, in the first place, while the city was sealed off, he casually left the city gates, so it was natural for them to gather their eyes.

“Kyung watched the scene where the shadow engulfed the silver lion while guarding her mother-in-law two years ago, and now she is busy trying to rescue Princess Yuril, who is imprisoned in the royal capital’s convent.”

The princess, who was talking about the dream left by Saint Abel in a slightly exasperated tone, suddenly sighed. There seemed to be something resembling a sense of self-doubt in his voice.

“... To be honest, at first I thought of sutras as mere messengers. However, looking back today, it might have been Kyung who inherited Abel-sama’s legacy. I am just a helper.”

I let out a big smile at Theodora’s muttering in despair.

“Ah, that is nonsense. How does the Red Knight continue to be an adult? That is the responsibility of the Holy Knight, Princess Princess.”

“I’ve said it many times, but don’t underestimate yourself, Sir Phoenix. You are the guardian of the Holy Land and the slayer of the King of the Dead. Who dares to discuss qualifications in front of a sutra?” ‘I’m grateful that you said that, but there are quite a few people in the world who don’t agree with that. Even the field of excommunication that flew right in front of me was almost as tall as me.”

At the exaggerated joke, the princess pursed her lips tightly. The voice that followed was restrained in its own way, but it seemed that the tone could not be prevented from rising.

“...I’ve said it many times, but it was unfair, dishonest, and even disrespectful. To think that the head of a religious order conspires with the power of the world to frame the wrong person. You are not qualified as a priest.”

“There is no such thing as too much heat. It wasn’t all that bad, but what?”

“Isn’t that all too bad?”

I pulled the reins and dismounted from my horse as I passed through the castle gate and entered a quiet bend.

“Thanks to you, you have a reason to convert to Kalandari, and you can ask for a confession and blessing from the princess.”

“If you’re that worried, come back quickly. Before I pile up too much to confess.”

“Until the end... If I said I understood it, would even a thorn come out of my mouth?”

He lightly hugged Theodora, who pouted and grumbled, with regret and gratitude.

“O uh”

——9 ‘丁ko .

She hugged me awkwardly and her face was red as if it would explode.

Over the past two years, we have been engaged in intense sparring from time to time, ranging from sword fighting to wrestling. And yet, after just one hug, she creaked like a broken wind-up doll. Perhaps because she spent her adolescence in a convent, she developed a sense of resistance to contact with the opposite sex.

“Enough then.”

Princess Theodora turned around with a calm face, as if not to show her awkwardness. Of course, even after I climbed into the saddle, my face, stained like persimmon, showed no signs of subsiding, so I had to try hard not to burst into laughter.

After leaving Princess Theodora, I returned to Froshafen and headed to the port area instead of the inn or the lord’s castle.

I am on my way to meet Fogan, a vassal of Count Ines who came to visit me this morning. The Milgrester family’s dispatch base and trading post are near the port.

While passing through a narrow alley lined with 3-4-story buildings, a black figure fell on my head from a rooftop. I unconsciously tried to pull the sword from my waist, but I stopped and the black figure that fell like a feather naturally clung to my back.

“Oh, I was surprised. Didn’t I tell you not to show up so suddenly?”

“lol.”

What suddenly appeared was a bundle that had disappeared somewhere in the morning. Instead of a conspicuously bizarre-shaped mask, the guy was wearing a hood that was deeply pressed.

“How did you know I was here? You weren’t waiting, were you?”

“no.”

Mungchi sat down on the back of the saddle, buried his face in my back, and took a deep breath.

“I found it by smell.”

“...that sound again. Are you a puppy?”

“he.”

No matter how good his senses were, tracking me in a place like this was a whole different matter. Is it possible to find me with my sense of smell in a port city that vibrates with the unique fishy smell of the beach, the smell of spices, and all kinds of stench?

Realizing that Moongchi had no intention of answering, I smiled and asked another question.

“Where have you been since morning? Where have you been for an outing?”

“I came to meet Kshan.”

“Kshan?”

He was the one who first came into contact with us as a representative of the Bank and the Martial Arts Association, and now ranks next in rank among the ‘masked shadows’. Considering the fact that the Munchhi rarely managed his subordinates, Kshan was the de facto leader of the masked shadows.

“Why is that old man?”

“I asked about Glory Street. The Marquis grandfather talked about it yesterday.”

“Are you talking about the Marquis of Eavon? Oh, is that a curse or something?”

“yes.”

I thought he went for a walk, but he was meeting his subordinates.

Well, I heard some news about the Royal Capital from the Marquis of Eavon yesterday. Seeing me bewildered by the unfamiliar information, he must have checked with his subordinates again.

I listened to the munchies whispering as I rode my horse towards the harbor.
