Running Away From The Hero!

# 8 Their Reason: Princess of the Sword's Reason

“Now, you and I will divide into armies here at Ast to conduct a conspiracy! ”

The little Empress shouted confidently so that it didn't fit into her little body.

Queen Dowager's direct horsemen.

Only the Hwang Clan carries such escort troops.

Her position in the Imperial Court is that important.

But this is not why the Emperor gave us the Scarecrow!

That's exactly what I'm talking about!

Apologies, mademoiselle!

“So, Leah, You lead my army. ”

“… Yes? ”

“I can't do this on my own. ”

“Well, even so...”

“It's okay. Leah can count on it. ”

“Your Majesty...”

He also believes in me. Yes, you can trust me enough to lead an army on your behalf...

“If Ast's right, it's a technique that destroys my essence. Leah can survive this, right? ”

“… Yes. ”

Oh, that's faith.

I endured a slight tear.

Yes, you believe in me. With a good shield.

But we've been together five years. By the way, that's all I could believe!

“Very well, Lord Leah, if you're a target, it doesn't matter if you shoot him." ”

“Excuse me, Your Majesty? I thought you said he was a target. So now I'm a target?! ”

“Yes? Of course. The story I was telling you about earlier is that Ast secretly killed enemy brains in a maze of bombardment, causing them to lose their command. So Leah, the commander, is definitely a target. ”

“Yes, Your Grace. So, Ast, what does it mean to shoot without letting you? ”

“Literally. You should be able to control yourself unharmed, but Lord Leah can prevent even the strongest attacks. She's the famous Princess Sword. ”

“Ahhhh!”

Shame on you, Princess of the Sword! Who the hell invented that nickname?

Ast has been teasing me for a week since he heard that nickname, and I've been teasing him for a year!

“A princess in front of a princess, that's great, Leah. ”

“I, Your Majesty...”

“That's my nickname, too. Isn't that great, Ast?"

“Yes, I admire your sense of humor! ”

“The culprit told me! ”

Kugu! My body trembles with the senses betrayed by the king I trusted.

I can't believe he told you!

Thanks to you, of course, I'm becoming a target of interest for all of us.

With a distressing eye, “May I call you sister?” Apart from the fear that her older sister is asking, she is also recognized in her own home! I'm still ashamed of him! I can't believe he told you!

“What am I to you?! ”

“The joy of my life? ”

“That's it, that's me...”

“You think of it as a toy. ”

“Mr. Ast! Don't ruin my feelings! You and I don't know about Ast...”

“Yes, a lifelong stamp toy. ”

“How far will your loyalty go?" ”

Wow, you've been so harsh lately.

He used to spin nasty jokes in the past, but nowadays he's just being direct.

It's too much.

Is this all because of Mr. Ast? Or is that what His Majesty used to do?

“Why am I a target...”

“That's it, the princess can't do it herself...”

The soldier beside me replied, walking grumbling with tears.

Oh, I know that.

It's a bit unfair... That's all.

“Still, there's no chance of success. That's ridiculous. Even knowing it's a bombing doesn't work. ”

He who speaks confidently, is also a facilitator in this Madosa division. He's a veteran who's been in the war against the old Harken Kingdom, so you can trust him.

“Here, look. Ser Leah, no matter how secretly you hide your magic, magic can eventually be triggered by it, so you have no choice but to detect it when it's released. ”

“I see.”

Look at the red glowing Magic Reactor and nod.

Wow, that's a little weird. I can't see anything, but there is a glittering red light coming out.

You were right!

The king said this time he would punish Mr. Ast very badly, so let's keep an eye on him!

We must ask His Majesty to secretly inflict a great deal of vengeance upon us!

“Here, look. It may seem like you're hiding in the clouds and doing magic, but you can easily stop it by hitting the magical barrier slowly. ”

Mado warriors striking the magical barrier to prevent the magic of falling ice at a very fast rate, visible to the eye.

That ice made of magical power will never break through that barrier...

Tsk, tsk!

“You do?”

Easily, the first thigh was shattered, and then dozens of walls began to tear apart like a log. Yeah. What do you think? That one.

“Hey, Madosa? What do we do when that thing falls? ”

“... Emergency! Thud!”

“Et?! ”

When Madosa, who had his face whitened, shouted at the Madosas around him, he left the space like a veteran Madosa, proceeding with magic at a fast speed...

Wait, wait, wait!

“Me, me? ”

I was definitely the target.

That means they all fall to me, and then...

“Hiic?! ”

Hey, Mr. Ast?

But I'm a target, so it must have been a conscientious attack, right? He'll be all right, won't he? Isn't that right?

And I thought to myself, my imaginary Ast smiled and said,

"If Lord Leah is a target, it doesn't matter if you shoot him without letting him."

“Oh, it's dangerous...”

We had to pick up our swords at the risk of life approaching us in seconds.

* * *

“... Emergency! Thud!”

Madosa, who is in charge of my army, leaves the room with proficient skill and avoids position.

And falling silver rain.

And a red sword that cuts through it.

What is that?

The Karean Empire is now 1,000 years old. There have been thousands of large and small battles and thousands of heroes have appeared and disappeared.

And there were more soldiers whose names were not recorded in history than the number of heroes.

Tons of deaths.

The foundation of several military strategies established through him. But the basics change all the time.

Some changed the history of the war by making it unstoppable, and some changed the history of the war by making it obsolete.

And the defense against the current magic bombings was perfected.

I would have been, until now.

“You really did break through. ”

“Didn't I say I could do it? ”

Watching the silver rain fall, Ast smiles at the winner.

Yeah, I lost.

I can't even remember when I made a bet with someone in the first place, but is this the first loss of my life?

But, you know, with this kind of technology, It would be good to lose.

“Lord Leah, you seem very strong. ”

Ast carelessly spits out what he's been watching over Leah.

“Ha, of course. It's my only escort. ”

Leia, who I've seen since I was very young, but I can hardly adapt when I draw my sword.

I didn't call her Princess of the Sword for nothing, and that's why no one in the Imperial Court would argue even with such an outrageous nickname.

“Leah is the youngest sorcerer in the history of the empire. ”

Officially, the youngest sorcerer in the empire. A genius who shortened his current swordsmanship by two years, who would be called the Sword after that.

Maybe after I die, I'll join the Imperial Knights and become a knight commander in the future.

I suddenly had a funny thought, watching Leah slash the last bombardment and stare at Ast with furious eyes.

“Oh, and... I got it this time. I'm sorry I didn't believe you. So, I'll make it worth your while. ”

Now that I have it, you'll need a fair reward for it, as promised.

The tactics you have shown there are bombardment techniques that can change the concept of tactics themselves.

Perhaps if I told His Majesty that he likes fighting, he would be very pleased. I'm so glad I could attack the country next door.

If so, I think I can be rewarded more than my own personal reward.

A strange one like Ast leads the army, and Leah leads it. A fun combination to trick and trick.

It's hard for me to see.

# 9 Their Reason: A Villain's Reason

“You really did break through. ”

“Didn't I say I could do it? ”

I saw the magical barrier breaking like a coup d 'adas, and I smiled in victory.

Contemporary warfare has a wide range of power, from grenades to nuclear bombs.

Thanks to you, the way to defend yourself has always been a research project for people around the world who have to go before magic.

Thanks to you, these magical bombs are almost ready to go off.

But why magic?

It's because it uses magic.

Therefore, all of its magical components are magical, and if the magical barrier is deployed more than the total amount of magical power, the magical barrier naturally disappears.

That is, the Magic Bombardment means that there is no trade in quantity.

Of course, I don't know if the individual possesses the power of dragon-class magic.

But the ice that is falling now is not a mass of magical power, but a lump of pure frozen ice that draws moisture to the clouds.

Of course, magic was added. Even faster increases the destructive power of objects.

And the accelerated ice speeds up and drops even when the magic enchantments that were hanging on the barrier go away, and the only way to stop it is to intercept it with magic, or with pure physical force.

However, at that speed, you have to have a thick steel plate to stop it. In fact, the tents or wooden Nodes used during the war will be smashed very lightly.

But...

“Lord Leah, you seem very strong. ”

“Ha, of course. It's my only escort. ”

People are stopping it alone.

No. If you were abandoned by the Mados next to you, you'd better bounce quickly.I don't understand why you're cutting over there, but I think I can stop you with a knife.

“Leah is the youngest sorcerer in the history of the empire. ”

“The name" Princess of the Sword "was real. ”

Honestly, even when I called her Princess of the Sword, it seemed like a fun nickname. Especially knowing that she was the princess who started the nickname.

But the way I see it, it's not so strange to be called the Princess of the Sword.

At least four to five meters, how many tests would it take to intercept them with just a sword with dozens of ice in the blink of an eye?

And how many of you have that fancy red steel that cuts them and the amount of magic that keeps them?

A naturally, elegant, overflowing red steel that cuts through chunks of ice that look several times as beautiful as the so-called Princess of the Sword.

“Leah is already the best prosecutor in Ares. ”

I cut off the last ice and saw Sir Leah running towards me with a grumbling glance, and a slight cold sweat flowed from behind my back.

Yeah, I'm scared. You're a monster like that, Imperial Highness!

We have to go faster than a day! My life is in danger!

“Oh, and... I got it this time. I'm sorry I didn't believe you. So, I'll make it worth your while. ”

However, the Queen Dowager said that with a smile, and three days later, a letter came from the Knights.

- The emperor is impressed by your excellent strategic tactics, granting Ast, first lady Attia Nell Karan's successor, the title of honorary knight, and the castle of Lylac.

Haha, my dead parents.

I'm finally a nobleman! Hooray! I'm a nobleman! Nobles!

This is so exciting! The Great Emperor was greatly impressed! Dammit! This is gonna make it harder to get fired!

- The organization praises the current mission capability greatly.

Haha, it's good even in the organization. Trying to die? When can I go back to the organization? Can we go back?!
