Chapter 1503

"That's the most appropriate way. It's much easier to deal with it where the line of sight is, but it's probably impossible. The nobles value dignity and mood very much, and they call people who are hostile to them. It’s impossible to do something like this.”

"Indeed. Then, will you be ordered not to cooperate with the barbarians?"

"It's just that it's easy to deal with... because it doesn't say in the official report that the cooperation has been concluded, so just claim that there is no such thing as a secret agreement."

"Uh, if that's the case, there's always a solution, right?"

"That's fine..."

There are as many ways to reduce the number of troops as you want.

Moreover, the second prince who holds the command of the army is said to be quite talented.

I don't think he would leave the frontier company with an unexpected strength.

...It is necessary to think carefully about countermeasures first.
In City A, the northern border city far from the Walled City.

Two men in military uniform alighted from the fine stagecoach.

One is a short and thin man, the chest of the military uniform is decorated with medals and gems, etc., his eyes are as narrow as a fox.

A slightly shorter straight knife hangs at the waist.

The man's name is Bellen.

A nobleman of the Empire and an investigator of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

The other was a huge, fat man.

With a face like a rock, he carried a broad sword at his waist.

He is Bei Leng's guard officer, Li Si.

He was looking at the vendors on the street while pressing his belly, and sighed eagerly.

"That's great...the chicken is being grilled over there, Mr. Bellen."

"Are you talking about food again?"

Bei Leng's already thin eyes narrowed even more, and kicked Li Si.

Then he spat at the side of the road.

"Damn it, where is the person who welcomes you!?"

"It should be in the North Square of City A."

"Should I walk over there! The reception was so inattentive, that's why I hate the country. First of all, there is no manners at all."

Bei Leng, who was complaining while walking, bumped into a child running on the road.

"what"

"Goo...!?"

A boy around six years old blinked and lowered his head.

"Yes, I'm sorry!"

From the looks of his clothes, he looked like a commoner child. He was wearing clothes that were not shabby but not high-end, and shoes made of sackcloth.

Contrary to the foul language just now, Bei Leng showed a gentle smile.

"...Oh, you didn't get hurt, kid?"

He drew a fine handkerchief from his breast pocket.

The child nodded.

"Um, um, it's okay."

"Aren't you all right? Are you injured?"

"It doesn't matter to me! Uncle"

"Really? But I don't look like...all hurt."

"Where?"

Belleng held the handkerchief in his left hand, and the handle of the saber in his right.

Li Sizheng was biting his fingers and looking at the street vendor. He didn't pay attention to things like ordinary children.

Bei Leng had a gentle smile on his lips, and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Would you tell me where the injury is? I really don't know? Then I'll teach you... it's... on your neck...!!"

Just as he was about to draw out his saber, a voice calling his name came from not far away.

"Investigator Belleng!"

Then the sound of horseshoes and wheels approached.

The young man riding in the military carriage was none other than Avery.

"Is it the investigator of Beleng!? I came to meet you from the city wall! I am Eli from the border company."

After letting the carriage approach, jump off the driver's seat.

Avery is so handsome that even people passing by can't help turning their heads.

Bei Leng gritted his teeth while maintaining a smiling face.

His hand moved away from the saber at his waist.

"Oh, thank you so much...but it seems to be a little earlier than scheduled..."

He took out a gold pocket watch from the pocket of his military uniform to check the time.Obviously, even if you don't do this, you can see it from the bell tower of the church.

Avery raised his heels together, put his right hand on his left chest and saluted.

"Because of Her Royal Highness' consideration, I came here earlier to welcome you."

Hearing the princess' name, Bei Leng's expression changed.

"Oh...His Royal Highness specially for me?"
