Chapter 422

Episode 422 Contaminated Area (1)

The music of the musicians started to play differently, and the atmosphere matured with the fireworks display that did not go out.

Princess Charles gently held out her hand.

“Would you like to dance a song with me?”

At banquets, it is usually the man who invites dancing.

In this way, it was extremely rare for a woman or even a princess to offer her own dance.

After thinking about Aira for a moment, Ray laughed awkwardly.

“Because dancing is not my specialty.”

“it’s okay. I will lead.”

It shows the will to dance no matter what.

It wasn’t polite to refuse the princess’s invitation over and over again in front of the nobles, so Ray had no choice but to hold hands.

“It’s only one song.”

“Enough.”

center of Daejeon.

The two of them walked to the place where many people were dancing and began to move their bodies slowly.

Contrary to what he said, Ray was quite emotional.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve danced.’

At banquets invited in modern times, they danced similarly.

His body moved naturally following the memory of that time.

The nobles admired his dance moves gently leading Charles back with his left foot.

It’s a dance I’ve never seen before.

However, it was not unique.

No, they had a different style from their own dance.

With each step he took, his white hair swayed.

The collar of the white shirt peeking over the neck attracted the hearts of the women.

Charles said in a slightly pouting voice.

“Didn’t you say you were bad at dancing? It looks like you made an excuse because you didn’t want to dance.”

“Did you get a lot of tea?”

“…little bit.”

Contrary to what she said, Princess Charles was smiling all the time while talking.

King Baybon was relieved to see him.

‘If this is the case, the relationship will proceed without the need for force.’

It was truly a dream come true.

The music gradually faded, and before long the musicians stopped the music completely.

Then the movements of the nobles who were dancing slowed down accordingly.

Charles did not hide his regretful expression.

“It’s over…”

“It was a good time.”

Ray showed his back as if he was going to leave right away with a single word.

Embarrassed by that, Charles urgently called him.

“Hey saint!”

“yes?”

After a moment of hesitation, she opened her mouth.

“If I get a chance, I’ll see you next time, right?”

Princess Charles’ words were of a kind she had never heard before.

Princess Celestia of Celia and Princess Celia of the Lethian Empire were of that type.

Rei’s expression hardened slightly as she felt a bad sign.

“I’m a bit busy.”

“If you are really busy, I will come to you.”

“It’s not good for others to see that the princess is looking for the saint herself. Even His Majesty the King will be in trouble.”

When Ray looked at King Baybon, hoping for a helping hand, he just shook his head.

“Wine doesn’t matter. How can an old man hinder the passionate love of young people? Heh heh heh.”

Looking at him, Ray closed his eyes.

I shouldn’t have saved him from the monsters.

I felt serious skepticism.

They saved the dying kingdom, and they repaid the favor with enemies.

I thought I should reduce Baybon’s position in the alliance.

“I am very grateful for the favor, but I have a lot of work to do in the future. Even if you visit, you rarely meet.”

“Then we’ll wait until they’re done.”

When a person has refused to this extent, they usually have to step back.

However, Princess Charles could not back down.

Normally, I wouldn’t even talk about it first, and if the other person showed a refusal, I would change my mind, but not now.

I know very well that if I back off now, other women will flock to me like hounds.

‘This is an opportunity when we can be together.’

Clever, she knew how advantageous the current situation was.

Since she is a princess, other nobles are not able to intervene in the conversation.

If the conversation was cut off even a little bit, noble ladies seeking an opportunity would come flooding in.

That’s why I couldn’t throw away a good opportunity like now.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Princess Charles, who rushed with fierce momentum, resembled a wild boar.

Ray let out a sigh.

“Why are you so stubborn? Because of the alliance, there will be visits to Baybon again. So don’t follow me and wait.”

Princess Charles’ iron plate was not thick enough to be stubborn even after the other party had said this.

Besides, I didn’t want to be remembered as a bad image to him.

It’s the first time I’ve come to my mind.

Of course, I still don’t know if this is love or just homage.

Princess Charles bowed her head.

“I was rude. sorry.”

As soon as the story seemed to be over, as expected, noble women came in.

“Holy Son, after this banquet, I would like to invite you to our estate.”

“I’m not proud of it, but our county is vast. Wouldn’t it be nice to stay for a few days to relieve fatigue?”

The children of the aristocrats quickly became cold ricers.

As the women gathered in one place, the banquet hall contrasted as starkly as the color division.

In the midst of it, Ray waved his hand.

“Thank you, but I will politely decline. I even refused the invitation of the princess, so how can I respond to your call? That’s not polite to the princess.”

With no sense of morality, he sold his manners to get out of the situation.

But no magic word worked as well for nobles as ‘royalty’ and ‘courtesy’.

At Ray’s words, the women who rushed like a swarm of monsters hesitated.

He didn’t miss that little gap.

While the women hesitated, he moved quickly.

“Goodbye then.”

It was a rather disorganized greeting, but no one stopped him.

The girls reached out to catch him, but each time, Ray’s new model often disappeared suddenly.

After a few mysterious footwork embroidered the banquet hall, he was already leaving the banquet hall with the door open.

“Because the more I look at it, the more mysterious it is.”

Halfman, who had muttered a little, clapped his hands and cleared the cluttered atmosphere around him.

“I’m selling fireworks bleachers for five silver coins.”

* * *

“I almost got my nose pierced.”

Leaving the banquet hall, Ray wiped his chest and was relieved.

At the same time, anger towards King Baybon soared.

Heo Woo-dae, a good-looking person trying to leave his daughter to someone else!

How can you be so cruel!

It must have been determined to block someone else’s wedding.

No, I was determined to help out on the road.

Ray grumbled and hurriedly packed his things.

“Ugh, I got on board. If you don’t leave soon, something else will happen.”

He, who regarded the Baybon Kingdom as if it were dirty, put on a robe and hurriedly walked.

Originally, he was planning to stay for a week and think about the new alliance, but it was impossible to stay anymore because he learned the dark intentions of King Baybon.

He turned to Celia Kingdom to visit his house after a long absence.

Anyway, the Kingdom of Silia and the Kingdom of Devon were intended to unite.

I don’t know if kings and nobles will follow me.

“I should buy a present on the way.”

The steps toward hometown were light and insignificant.

* * *

In the Kingdom of Silia, a warning was issued, and the people were not the only ones worried.

How long has it been since the war with the Devon Kingdom, do I have to prepare for another war?

Fortunately, the tax did not rise, but once or twice the villagers were recruited as soldiers, and their feelings went cold.

The same was true of the nearby villages of the Celia Kingdom.

Their anxiety was greater than that of Celia’s inhabitants.

Since they do not belong to the Kingdom of Celia, they are in a position where they cannot receive Sillia’s protection.

If war broke out, there was no way to live except to run away.

In addition, the number of bandits has increased considerably these days.

The number of residents leaving the village increased as they came every day and took all the money and daily necessities of the village.

The elderly man sighed.

“There’s not much food left, so it’s a big deal. How long can I last like this…” As

he lamented, the red-haired man next to him cautiously spoke out.

“…Chief, shouldn’t we leave too?”

“How can I leave my hometown? Nogu just wants to disappear with his hometown.”

“But isn’t your grandson contaminated there? Maybe it can be solved outside the village…”

When the red-haired man spoke, the village chief shook his head and cut off his words.

“Stop it. It is not a problem that can be solved by lengthening the story. You must be very vigilant so that no one enters or leaves it.”

“All right.”

The man withdrew bitterly.

Originally, the village chief was a person who would die at the mention of his grandson.

But now, it seemed that he was trying to avoid the subject as much as possible.

far from town.

A man standing at a distance from where dark red smoke was billowing up looked around.

“Anyway, the chief is also a problem. Even if you prepare for war, you are standing on the edge of a plate that is not enough. Who the hell is coming to a place like this…”

I was standing guard with a yawn and sleepy eyes when a stranger in an ivory robe came running from afar.

“How long has it been since you were a stranger?”

Since it was a stranger I had visited in almost ten years, I was glad to see him.

One such mind for a while.

The stranger’s footsteps were unusual.

There was almost no leg movement, but the speed at which he moved was no joke.

It was moving as if gliding on the ground.

“It’s an ear ghost!”

Surprised, the man pulled out the sword behind his back.

Originally, it was a sword used to fight bandits.

The stranger ghost approached him at a terrifying speed.

He moved his mouth as he approached.

“mister!”

“…huh?”

When a resounding voice called out to me, as if calling me from inside the cave, I answered without my knowledge.

The young man in the robe stood in front of him as if he had been measured with a ruler.

A gust of wind blew through the man’s red hair.

Despite running at that speed, the young man, whose breathing did not become rough, looked around and asked.

“Isn’t there a village around here? I want to buy some necessities.”

“There are villages, but…”

Ray let out a sigh of relief at his words.

Starting from Baybon, I ran for more than three days starving.

No matter how much mana he could endure, it was not without hunger.

I wanted to buy the necessary necessities and food before arriving at Billo Village, but it just worked out.

The Kingdom of Celia will be on high alert, so you won’t be able to buy necessary items.

Rich merchants or nobles would have bought it first.

Even though it was a far outskirts of Celia, food and beef jerky were sold even in these villages.
