The Forsaken Princess’s Secret Bedroom chapter 137
snowfield trials
My feet were immersed in the white snowy field. There was a squeaky sound with every slow step. No matter how thick he was wearing his boots, his feet started to freeze.
The pile of soft snow was like a swamp that caught his feet. As if to prove countless efforts, snow footprints were carved on the back of the man walking on the snowy field.
The man raised his head. Her face was covered with a cloth from the wind that cut her flesh, but through the cloth, her bright eyes like jewels could be seen.
The icy turquoise eyes were staring at the distant peak of the snowy mountain. The boundary between the gray-white sky covered with snow and the white snowy mountains was blurred.
As the snow fell again, the man stepped forward. Even in the strong wind, the man’s turquoise eyes were clear. Occasionally, the harsh cold made the man’s eyes clouded.
“Llewellyn.”
Then he called out someone’s name and made up his mind. Each time, the man’s gaze became clearer.
The extreme cold that seemed to freeze even tears, the harsh whiteness that took away even the colors, Almondite memorized Llewelyn’s name like a spell.
At some point, it became natural to call Almondite by the name of Llewelyn. As if praying to the goddess of luck, as if praying to the goddess of victory.
There were times when he, too, became weak and wanted to give up everything.
‘Alman!’
But every time that girl’s smile came to mind, he had to move.
So what he chose was to become the hero of the Holy Sword.
ordeal of the holy sword.
The first ordeal was to reach the place where the holy sword was.
According to ancient texts, a sword with a ray of divine light was said to be in a pure white place that did not allow a single flaw. Everyone said it was one of the snowy peaks of the northern Harvinyard Mountains.
So Almondite had to climb all the tops of the mountain peaks. To find the holy sword that might be there.
How many peaks are left? Will the Holy Sword really exist? How many people died while searching for the honor of that holy sword.
Could you be one of them too?
He was also a weak human. Sometimes I was afraid. He was also afraid of his own death.
But the scariest thing was something else. Not being able to save Llewelyn.
Then he himself will become a weak coward who also abandoned her.
Because of this, Almondite’s steps did not stop. He just kept moving his feet.
So Almondite reached the summit again.
Before long, a transparent glass cave appeared. Almondite, seeing a faint silver light emanating from within, moved as if possessed by it.
And… … .
“Wow!”
At that moment, Almondite, who was sleeping at the Duchess of Biserk, opened his eyes.
In the white of his eyes, he stood in blood. He crouched down, holding his upper body with both arms as if in pain.
Huh, huh, he gasped for a while with his eyes wide open.
pain. I felt like I was going crazy. He sweated and endured the pain.
It felt like my whole body was being stabbed by a knife. As he clenched his teeth, he realized that there was a silvery glow in the room.
When I turned my head, the holy sword on one side was shining.
“Why are you here now? … .”
Sweat-soaked pajamas cling to his body. He got up from the bed, stepped forward, and grabbed the handle of the holy sword.
At that moment, woo-woong, a group of lights arose. Almondite looked at the holy sword and said.
“What is going on?”
There was no answer from the Holy Sword. It was just shining.
“After all, you don’t recognize me as the owner properly.”
Almondite spoke to the Holy Sword with a crooked smile. But the holy sword was still silent.
Almondite was freely using the power of the Holy Sword. However, contrary to what was known to the public, he was not recognized by the Holy Sword.
It has been said that those who have been recognized as the Holy Sword since ancient times can hear the voice of the Holy Sword. Almondite is the master of the Holy Sword, but he has not heard of it.
However, as the holy sword turned black like this, I could only see a warning sign that glowed white.
“What else is going to happen?”
Almondite looked at the holy sword. His face, reflected in the blade of the sword, seemed unusually pale.
*
“The Duke of Brion has achieved a great victory over Thessaly on the Plains of Meraum!”
In the words of Pabal who delivered the news, there was an overwhelming sense of pride that could not be hidden.
Bastian, who sat on the throne, and Llewelyn, who was standing next to him, listened quietly.
It was too modest and depressing for a place to hear the victory.
Bastian’s face was full of smiles, but Llewelyn had a dark expression with her eyes closed. It was as if she had heard the news of the defeat.
“Did you hear me, Llewelyn?!”
“Yes, brother.”
Bastian’s face lit up with excitement.
“You have set a good example for those abominable rookies.”
“… … But what I commanded the Duke of Brion was to stand at the border and face off, not to fight.”
Bastian looked at Llewelyn and tilted his head.
“Oh, you mean that?”
“… … .”
“I ordered the invasion.”
“Yes?”
Llewelyn’s eyes widened. Bastian said with his eyes twinkling like a child looking for praise.
“Aren’t the Thessalians too harsh on you? It is only natural to invade because there is a reason.”
“… … .”
“Now they won’t be so rude to you either.”
“But we still have a confrontation… … .”
“Lewellyn, how long do we have to face each other? Weren’t you going to invade anyway? You were the one who led me like this, wasn’t it?”
“… … .”
Bastian grinned. Only his blue eyes shone on his darkly shaded face. Bastian, who looked at Llewelyn’s face as if licking it, whispered softly.
“Lewellyn, I’ll take care of it. Isn’t that why I’m here? Don’t worry.”
“What… … .”
“A king who invades the mother’s kingdom is not in good shape. Am I not eligible?”
At Bastian’s words, Llewelyn said nothing. Yes, that was the intention. But when I heard it from Bastian’s mouth, I thought it was cowardly.
In an instant, she fell into confusion.
‘What do I want? Did I really want that?’
A war broke out, and in an all-out war that took place on the border, the Duke of Brion was victorious. The army he led would wipe out all of Thessaly.
The Duke of Brion’s army and Thessaly would have suffered casualties as well. Under the guard of the Holy Kingdom and the army of the Duke of Brion, perhaps Thessaly will be occupied within a year.
Because Llewelyn calculated it that way.
Llewelyn clenched her skirt. She wanted revenge. So they tried to destroy what they treasured dearly.
Still, why wasn’t the news of the victory unhappy?
*
At that time, Ernel was lying in bed, listening to Arthur’s report who had come to him.
“Huh?”
After wandering around in an empty house without Tristan, he smiled after hearing all the reports.
“That’s right… … .”
The sight of him lying on the bed, his eyes shining, didn’t feel scary at all. Only her beautiful appearance was shining.
“The backlash from the priests is very extreme. It looks like a new pope will be elected.”
“… … .”
“There are many questions about the death of the former Pope, and I ask you to prove it. or not… … .”
“or not?”
“The Holy Father assassinated the former Highness… … .”
“Oh yeah? That’s right, but… … ”
“His Holiness!”
“Yeah, I’ve been empty for too long.”
Ernel smiled inexplicably.
*
“I will go to Seongguk for a while.”
Seeing the letter from Ernell, Llewelyn fell in thought.
Tristan went to Peta Kingdom to stop the people of Peta Kingdom, and Ernel also went to the Holy Kingdom.
There were some Red Knights left behind by Ernel, who told him to be comfortable, and Tristan, but the number of people around him was definitely decreasing.
Llewelyn rested her forehead and placed her elbows on the armrests. After a while, Llewelyn got up from her seat and left the room with a sigh.
In the hallway near the door, Dane and Paulo were talking with serious expressions on their faces.
“What are you doing?”
As Llewelyn approached cautiously, they bowed their heads.
“I will report to the princess when it becomes clear.”
At Paulo’s rare seriousness, Llewelyn nodded. Dane asked.
“Where are you going?”
“Flower viewing.”
“I and Paulo will be there.”
“okay.”
“From now on, the princess will be escorted by two knights.”
Llewelyn nodded at Dane’s words. Presumably, something had happened in the royal palace.
It was when Llewelyn left the private palace and headed for the garden.
“Llewellyn!”
Almondite ran and called Llewelyn’s name. But his expression was strange.
As Llewelyn tilted her head, he stood in front of Llewelyn. He looked at Llewelyn’s face. He let out a sigh of relief as he looked up and down as if examining her closely.
“Alman? What’s going on?”
“No, nothing.”
Seeing Almondite relieved, Llewelyn looked at the two knights standing behind him. It certainly seemed like something was going on in the royal palace.
“What the hell is going on?”
Lwerin asked Almondite. As long as this man acted like this, it was clear that something big had happened.
“The body of the royal maid has been found. One of your maids.”
“what?”
Llewelyn furrowed her eyebrows. Then I saw that one maid was nowhere to be seen. Her name was Lisa… … .
“I saw a body drowning in a well. My body was blue because I was so sleepy that I died.”
“Not the neck, but the body? Are you tired of dying?”
“Yes.”
Almondite furrowed his eyebrows as Llewelyn opened her lips slightly. He stared at Llewelyn’s face for a long time, then said.
“I’m going to bring the holy sword to the corpse. When the holy sword flashes, it means that it is the work of a demon. The presence of a monster in the royal palace is a dangerous sign.”
Llewelyn nodded with a serious face. A monster appeared in the royal palace. Is it possible to come in without a witness?
If I killed my maid, was it really aimed at me?
Then Almondite took Llewelyn’s hand and said,
“Lewellyn, I’ll protect you.”
“… … .”
“do not worry.”
Llewelyn looked at Almondite’s expression and smiled faintly.
“I will go with you.”
“what?”
“Did you bring the holy sword? Come with me.”
Almondite sighed and nodded at Llewelyn’s words.
*
Tristan, stationed in the plains on the way to the Peta Kingdom, was reading Ernel’s letter.
“I’m going to visit Seongguk for a while.”
A dry sack of wind ruffled Tristan’s gray hair. Tristan was looking beyond the horse riding on the barren land.
After passing this plain, you will arrive at the Peta Kingdom.
“Captain.”
“what?”
“How long do I have to be stationed?”
Tristan patted his chin when one of the red knights following him naively asked. Tristan’s movements were too slow.
“At this point, the Peta Kingdom may attack.”
“It was a little slow. Let’s hurry.”
“Yes!”
Tristan looked up at the setting sky with sharp eyes. He thought of Llewellyn.
What is my princess doing?
Tristan believed in her cleverness. But she was always worried about her being in danger.
