I Am a Low-Class Aristocrat of a Perishing Country

85 – Long-cherished wish (4)

Kooung!

Broken cracks. From the darkness beyond, beings from another world step in. Painted black like Noise, the bizarre beasts collapsed to the ground, clumping together like clay.

“You have to run…”

Mirren’s tiny feet trembled as she stepped back. She wanted to run away to a safe place without a moment’s hesitation. But her feet don’t come off.

9 Years ago. With her still blue eyes, she witnessed her sister’s colleague being divided. Eight years had passed when she woke up fainting from the terrible horrors.

It was time for her older sister’s colleague, who had protected her, to rot in the dirt. Now, not only her, but also the Young master and servants who remain by her side are in danger of experiencing the same thing.

“Lady, is there a place in the mansion where I can move?”

“Ah…”

An urgent question from Phillyha. Mirren manages to keep her sanity and figure out the structure of her mansion.

“There is a secret passage inside the mansion.”

“It’s better than being targeted from the outside. I’m in a hurry, but is it okay if I rely on her ghost?”

“Yes, yes. Follow me.”

On the outside, it was a crude remark. She accompanied her heart apart from him and her sincerity that he would not leave her alone.

Mirren received a strange sense of security from them, who were unexpectedly calm. It was the impetus to shed her bad memories and move her straight into action.

■■■■■!?

The jet-black beast that was crushed like clay takes shape. The intruder from the other world correctly recognized one target.

A child who received the grace of a golden chain. She was instinctively attracted to the girl with the same sky-blue eyes.

Thumping!

Mirren’s heart skipped a beat at the unpleasant feeling of penetrating the essence of her life. Her senses were right. Like a hunter, the beast that has been quietly watching its prey finally begins hunting.

Pat, paat, blame!

“Come!”

“Young lady, you must go quickly!”

Her

The call of her impatient Young master urges her. However, the reality was that human nature could not solve the problem.

Even wild dogs that often roam the streets are more agile than sturdy men. How much more so are some of the disasters that escaped from the rift?

■■■■■!

The scream of the black beast was close by. The swiftly rushing beast threw his giant into the air to take his life.

It was as if she was declaring her will to crush even the Young master who protected Mirren with her body.

The shadow is thick. The rough soles of the beast create a shadow that is more than enough to cover the three of them. She also expressed her will to trample the hopes of one side.

“Sister…!”

It was then.

“One-point focus.”

Puong!

The world has turned black and white. The air is distorted into a model of a short-diameter cylinder.

“Rakakwan.”

The distortion going straight in a straight line reached the garden on the other side. Looking back, there are scattered structures with holes in them.

“Elfi sister!”

Miren instantly thought of Ir Elfi. They are proud blood relatives who are relied on for anything.

Ir Elfi will gently encourage you and stroke her hair. I will protect her from her threats with her characteristic slender and dashing back.

The time to correct the misunderstanding was short.

‘Isn’t it Elfi’s sister?’

No matter how much I look around, I can’t feel the mighty energy of the Illelpy. In the midst of extreme confusion, a possibility flashed in Mirren’s mind.

The vicinity of the mansion that is barely visible. From a position where it was easy to observe everyone, a boy of his age with a sword drawn emitted a light green spirit.

“That’s ridiculous.”

“Wasn’t Chester’s second son an oddball that didn’t carry a sword?”

Piliha and Raden were the most shocking greetings. They were trapped in the prejudice that Arnel was a weak human figure.

Thus, he was not a man to be wary of, he inadvertently concluded.

“Arnel!”

A startled Mirren called out the name of the real savior. It was enough for her to be confused by her unexpected identity. The important thing is that he protected himself.

“What are you doing there! Quickly…”

Mirren’s urging to run away was cut off with a chin like a gag. Arnel’s will to convey something at a distance where words cannot reach was evident.

He purred his lips as he stayed away. Reading lips was Mirren’s secret specialty. Nonetheless, Arnel deliberately exaggeratedly and precisely expressed his intentions to make it easy to read.

My. Go.

“I”

G.Turn on.Give.

“I will… Protect you.”

Ban.De.Si.

“Must…”

A warm color spread across Arnel’s mouth after the conversation.

The expression that had been hard like a cold statue since debut seemed to emphasize that it was a midsummer night’s dream.

A dream-like time is fleeting. Invaders of royalties were constantly breaking through the system. Marquis of Justiha was no exception.

There are many beasts looking for tempting prey. Especially when it comes to a special child like Mirren.

“I laughed.”

It was a mistake.

[That, forbid…]

[That’s it?]

[Don’t laugh like that in front of others.]

[Yes. Okay.]

I promised Mirren not to laugh in public.

I had a hard time controlling the corners of her mouth when she danced in her debut dance.

If you break a promise so lightly, Mirren deserves to be angry. He must have acted against his will in his debut concert.

Once the commotion is over, I will find out the cause and apologize properly. To do that, first…

“We should stop bringing animals into the mansion.”

Takes a quiet, refined step.

The jet-black predator, with only instinct left, goes to the disgusting swamp.

Arnel aimed the tip of his sword without hesitation.

◇

“Elfi…”

“It’s okay, Charles.”

The entrance to the imperial palace was more crowded than the debutant. It was because the imperial order had fallen to evacuate the people of the system to the imperial palace as much as possible.

The judgment that the Ir-Elpi’s protective ability could cover the area of the imperial palace supported the order.

This was a story about going through a thorough non-combat, focusing on aspects other than robbery.

Due to the possibility of runaway, she was excluded from the military. A sigh came out in anger at the reality of not being able to become Neffi’s strength.

“I’m sorry I’m a burden.”

“No, Charles. This is my role.”

The emperor made an urgent request. You will be absolutely safe by her side, so please take care of Charles.

Irelpi accepted after much agony. She wanted at least a little atonement for the crime she had committed against the future Charles.

Unaware of that, Charles fidgets with her fingers and looks at her.

“But… I’m worried about my little sister.”

“If it’s Mirren, she’ll be fine.”

“How…”

Can you be sure?

Charle wanted to ask. However, as much as she inquired and questioned her, she gave up knowing that Ill Elfie would feel uncomfortable.

Ir-Elfi caught Charles’ anxiety easily. Charles, who showed guilt all over his body, was easy to read.

‘It’s the first exam.’

He will protect Mirren.

The second son of Chester, who met on his debut, was hiding his remarkable skills.

She has achieved achievements comparable to her when she was about 10 years old.

As Bartlante boasted, he deserved to be called a genius.

It was a fresh shock to hear that she had realized her swordsmanship even after hearing about her wild experience of battle.

‘If you’re Mirren’s son-in-law, you’ll have to tidy it up.’

If the commotion subsides safely, I think it would be good to teach. Nephi will light a fire in her eyes and reject Arnelle, but that’s enough to fight with force.

Ir Elfi approached the knight guarding her entrance and asked.

“How is the progress of the evacuation?”

“According to the contact, there is currently no one to be seen on the streets of Jedo Island.”

“Any casualties?”

“According to the count, there were about 20 dead and over 50 wounded.”

“Too many enemies.”

It’s not like an earthquake or a typhoon. It doesn’t make sense that there were so few casualties in Chainreach, where the portal opened.

Just because of the chain reach she suffered right now, her village was completely annihilated within a short period of time.

There was no way there would be enough answers to give because it was a knight in front of me. He forced a smile and made vague inferences.

“Wouldn’t it be thanks to Captain Chester leading the knights and fighting hard?”

“Let’s work hard five times more than now.”

“Yes, yep!”

IRLPy spread his senses and looked around. Compared to the population of the islands, she was noticeably underserved. At the same time, she has extremely few casualties.

‘Did Nepi ever return to the Islands?’

I want to believe that Bartlante is fighting against the monsters in Chainreach.

Or that the inhabitants of the islands took refuge in places where no traces of destruction could reach them.

Is it too much to hope that an unexpected helper will join the war?

The tail of the refugee procession comes into view. Perhaps this will be the last time for the people to take refuge in the imperial palace.

It is very likely that the rest were accommodated in shelters of their own, or in air-raid shelters built by other nobles.

At that time when you stabilize yourself with various hopes,

■■■■■!

Thump! Thud! Thud!

There was a terrifying rush of footsteps that would resonate through the mountains.

“You’re finally here.”

The black four-legged beast charges forward with a roar mixed with noise.

It was a monster that could be treated as an insignificant miniature garden with a cluster of old trees that have been rooted for over a hundred years.

The heavens and earth trembled at the heavy mass that would cover the imperial palace with a shadow.

Quang!

“Uhhhhh!!!”

“Quaaah!”

“Hey, hey?!”

A monster straightens its upper body like a horse participating in a rodeo and tramples the imperial palace.

Foreigners, relying on the seemingly thin and fragile cube, were terrified and rushed back.

“Mmm.”

IRLP felt the burden of a mass attack that was heavier than expected. She can do it all day long if she’s defending an area of three or four of her.

Unfortunately, her ability to protect is currently covering the entire palace. The limit to mass attacks that exceeded the limit was clear.

Kooung! Kwakwang! Kugoong!

The jet black giant was persistent. The blows were repeated over and over again, revealing a desire to steal lives.

The more that happened, the more people found comfort in the unexpectedly intact barrier. On the other hand, paradoxically, the blood from the internal injury stayed on the lips of Ir Elp.

‘It’s not even a job to remove the barrier and cut it down, kuh!’

It is an easy task to divide such a minor thing into pieces. There is only one reason not to do that.

It’s because you’re afraid of scams creeping out if you lose your mind.

It is a life Neffi risked her life to save. It’s not as bad as joining the other side and wiping out humans with a moment’s mistake. She can no longer betray the trust of her beloved four-blood. So it shouldn’t be.

“Elfie…! Blood on the corner of her mouth!?”

“Haa…”

It was difficult to even share the consolation of being relieved by Charles’ worries. She clenched her teeth and was dizzy just to keep the Holy Memory.

Unlike this side, which has a lot to protect, the monster’s goal is simple and clear. It was all about simply giving in to the excitement and causing a commotion.

One-sided irrationality broke the balance of power.

Jeojeok, jeojeok, chaenggang!

The Cube of Holy Memory crumbles down. The world was engulfed in silence and tainted with despair. There is a theory that humans give up resistance when faced with overwhelming fear. The current imperial palace was exactly that.

‘I have to do something…!’

In the moment of tanji, dozens of decisions and reversals came and went. Whether to fight back or not, or whether to find a third way.

‘As soon as I kill that thing, the nation’s existence is in danger. If only the humans in the imperial palace were sacrificed, more people could live. But what if I could control the morale while fighting back? No, no, I’m not sure. In the worst case, even Mirren with my own hands… Ah…!’

It was her karma. At the feet of the evil one who recklessly wielded the sword and damaged the life of a loved one. The evil that clings to the soul doesn’t even allow it to protect the majority with peace of mind.

When Ir Elfi closed her eyes tightly, Charles shouted with a look of surprise.

“Elfie! Is that?!”

Quaaa!!!

The world shone in a dazzling golden light. The golden pillars reaching up to the clouds set the jet-black giant on fire in an instant.

It was a geothermal pillar that was pulled up like a pipe from deep underground. The destructive power equivalent to a natural disaster treats the benefit of mass as useless.

Beyond the column of heat rays that were lifted, ruby-like eyes radiated a chilling glow. Charles flinched at the vivid red color that was embedded in his mind, and his body trembled.

Oddly enough, it felt like we were making eye contact at a distance. It seemed that he received the eyes full of debt directly.

“Sir Siegharun…?”

Charles called the name of the man he had met through an unlikely relationship.

Because it was so weak, it was a hoarse voice that was quickly buried in people’s relief.
