Sword Whisperer

Princess.

Is there anything better to say to shake a man's heart with a single word?

Few can imagine rescuing a princess from a vicious villain. It doesn't matter who that villain is. Whether it's the Demon King or the Turtle, the important thing is that the Princess is there. Waiting for his help.

After grasping the sword, no, even before grasping the sword..... Van thought so. If there's the most appropriate place to use his sword, I'm sure it's the princess trapped in the castle. And after I really became a prosecutor, I also expected that something like that might happen to him one day.

But the reality is this.

"…… I have sinned to death. Princess.”

Van bows his head. The royal blasphemy was a felony with nothing to say. Princess, Dnoa clasped her fingers with a cigarette.

"Come closer. ”

Van approaches Dnoa with the most pitiful expression. She hooks out half the cigarette smoke with her face and lies obliquely on the chair.

”Isn't that right? I was just living quietly in this neighborhood, and all of a sudden your friends came in..... so I was serving you a car and asking you to stay for a while until I ran away..... you told me..... what? What did you say?”

"…… I have nothing to say. Princess."

"You look like a lot earlier. Why?"

I've never felt so helpless. Van shook his head like a mute honey eater. If there is a problem that is overwhelmingly stronger than that, I will try to figure it out somehow..... but I can't even pull out the sword.

"Princess"?

On the other hand, the Shaid side was also becoming more thoughtful. He remained silent for a long time as he looked at Dnoa. I had no idea what to do. And it was about that time. Tired of teasing Van, she was just watching them.

”From the royal family? ''

"…… This is the mission of the Royal Knights."

"Those teeth are still nothing but annoying. I'm sorry, but I can't let you all go until I get here. Stay here until I'm ready to move in. I'll give you enough to eat. ''

"I'm sorry, but I can't. ”

Shade pulls out the knife. He stares at Dnoa with a fierce impression.

”I don't know why I hid the target as a princess..... but it's a mission from the Royal Knights. The princess' willingness means she can turn it around a second time."

"… so I will draw my sword to the princess of this country? ''

"Why not? ''

It was a rebellious glance. I also did. The princess was only given formal courtesy by Shaid. Shaid had no respect for the royal family as much as he did for his own frozen and vain judgment.

Dnoa smiles strangely as she sees such a shade.

"It's not a bad idea. You can't. — On your knees.”

As soon as Dnoa's voice rang, Shade and McDead and their supporters knelt on their knees. Denoa quietly spoke as he looked at them like that.

”Don't try to get out. Then your knees will try to cut themselves off. I don't want to hurt you, so just stay put. ”

The Holy Spirit.

It was the moment when the symbol of the royal family or its power was revealed. Van swallowed his saliva as he looked.

'.... It's huge. ’

It is not the first time I have seen the Spirit. Because their dean was also from the royal family. But this is the first time I've seen someone do something 'force’ properly.

My senses, not my senses, told me. If that spirit were headed for you, you would be forced to kneel on your knees, too, unlike them. The princess said.

"Don't try to get up too much. And then you can really hurt yourself. ”

"…… we will not be the end."

"It wasn't even your first time. ”

Dnoa smiled and replied.

”Not the last one, of course. ”

§

"... What happened? ”

Van whispered to Anya and asked. She sighed and replied.

"I got it wrong. I didn't think that 'witch' would be Princess D'Noa..."

"Did you know?"

”I saw him once when I was a kid. At the gathering of the Nine Great Gates…… it was so pretty and cool, I really liked it……"

"You look beautiful and cool."

Van grumbled at Dnoa and said, I've never met a woman like that before. Is the princess always like that? Anya opens her mouth more than she looks.

"Anyway! We don't have any more hands here. The task of bringing the princess is not our job, and all we have to do is find out who the witch is.... The princess was the witch, not anyone else, so there is nothing suspicious about it. ”

”Are you sure?”

"... Are you doubting the princess now?"

”No, not like that..."

Van scratches his head with a shriveled expression. The spirit sighed and opened his mouth.

"So what's your situation? Were you really worshipping the devil? ''

”That's..."

Van explained his situation step by step. When she heard about him, she immediately shook her head with a complicated expression.

"Even the seed of the night is here……"

By this point, the mission was practically over. Their mission objective was to ascertain whether the worship of the devil was true, and that proved to be true. Now all they have to do is watch. As long as it is confirmed that the seedlings are really boiling, if it is support.... It was arrogant of them to try to solve this by themselves.

What happens to the chaplain? "

"..... will probably be taken to trial and hanged. There is no forgiveness for treason. ”

”I'm sure...? He seemed like a good guy. ”

Anya and the Spirit did not answer. The moment I answered something, I felt like I was crossing a line I shouldn't have crossed somewhere.

Van barely had a break. He barely closed his eyes overnight. There was a note, but there was no energy in the body as if it were about to collapse. I didn't want to eat anything, and I just wanted to spend the day and the night away.

But unfortunately, his sleep didn't last that long. Before the sky was watered with sunlight, Denoa appeared before them.

”I want to ask for an escort. ”

§

That was neither an offer nor a request. It was almost an order. Dnoa's logic was that. The royal family has the right to ask the people of this country for help at any time, not to mention if they are trainees in the academy.

"..... you said you were on the run? ''

”The princess is still a princess. So didn't you bring up the story for them? ''

Denoa pointed to the group of Shades who were still trapped in the ground. Dnoa laughs. As it is a typical princess laugh, she has a good sense of humor.

”It will not hurt you to help me. Even if the royal family were looking for me, they wouldn't be in trouble if they listened to me. This is to be commended by the people."

".. Princess. No matter how much, we..."

"Please. Your little and fragile princess is now frightened. I'm only waiting for the help of brave knights. Can't you be the knight? ''

”That..."

"Let's do it. Escort."

And it was then. Van opens his mouth in a quiet voice. As she looked back at him with a look as to whether the Spirit and Ania were sincere or not, Denoa looked at Van with her mouth up.

"Hmm, it's cooler than I thought. What was your name? Did you say Van Van? ''

"It's not half, it's just half. And I'll help you. How far can I take you? ''

She whispered with a trembling expression.

"Hey, don't you think it's too easy? ''

"It's not hard to think about. ”

Van shrugs. After all, there was no harm done to them by helping the princess. Even if the Royal Knights were looking for her, the Royal Knights were people of the Royal Family. If the princess returns to the royal family later, she will remember their help.

And above all…….

"I wonder."

Van was a simple man. If you want to cut something, cut it. And being a knight to help the princess..... was something he always wanted to do at an early age.

But I wanted to know her reasons more than that. She who can have everything in the world, who can do everything..... why she must be a fugitive in the sound of witches.

Maybe her answer includes the answer to the question he has in the world?

"I will help you. Wherever you run, I will guide you. At the end of the road, we have a treasure chest, don't we? ”

"…… hmm, I don't know. I don't know if there's a treasure chest, but I can give you a present or two. ''

Dnoa smiled bluntly and replied. And it was that moment.

Van's nostrils bulge. I didn't smell Dnoa. Somewhere more intense and reluctant, the smell was getting closer from a distance.

It didn't take long to realize that the identity smelled like something burning.

"Huh? That...!"

The spirit began to frighten with his fingers. The fire, so fierce that its size could not be known, was burning down the forest and coming towards them. And a furious shout followed him.

Catch the witch! ''

"Bitch to burn in the fire! I'm not going to live with you anymore!"

"God, show us the way! ”

Van's eyes rolled. It was difficult to pinpoint what the situation was, but I was approximated. People do not know that the forest protects witches, but they are coming to them by burning the forest itself. Targeting Dnoa. What to do.

Van raised his body. and voiced his voice. At least for now, he was a warrior before the Demon King. In fact, it wasn't the Demon King who came, but ordinary residents.

"Why do you all talk so hard..."

Van grabbed the kissin. Pointing a sword at the fire, Van twists his tail. Between the fiercely falling swarms, people began to reveal one or two bodies. After confirming the group's appearance, they raised their voices.

”There she is! There she is! ”

"Damn it, I'll avenge Renver!"

'' You're such a dirty bitch..! "

"Shh!”

It was then. Van put a kiss on his shoulder and his finger on his lips. At that moment, people frowned and looked half in the eye. Some of them were in the service of manners, recognizing Van's face and becoming contemplative. Van said in a loud voice.

"You don't know the front and back, and you don't have to start cursing. Don't you think?"

He had forgotten that he had poured out a curse on D'Noa only half a day ago.
