Chapter 406 – 14. Every Relationship Has an Ending.
– Jump!
“Ha, I finally found it.”
When I opened the door and lowered my waist, the raindrops on my shoulders slid like a slide and soiled the floor.
Ugh, the wooden floor flooded with water in an instant.
I wondered if it was dirty for no reason, but the light shining through the crack in the open door illuminated the dust floating around in the inn, so I confirmed that the place was already dirty even if I didn’t dirty it, so I decided to just ignore it.
It’s just a reporting building, but what, could something happen? I also had a big heart.
– Creak, creak, creak
“Where… “
Fluttering, I put my hand in my bosom, unfolded the carefully folded note, and passed the noisy floor. I went upstairs in the hallway quietly, though the old floor screamed, as the bent boards and nails rattled under my heavy footsteps.
“Hmm… “
[When you get there, enter the biggest door at the end of the second floor hallway, and I will wait for you there.]
The small letters at the end of the letter sent from Oberon.
According to the original plan, they would have been able to rest leisurely in Hinera Village, but the plan had gone awry after receiving a letter from Oberon.
I tried to move to Hinera Village at once using the Space Movement Scroll, but Oberon said that she had a story to share in-depth about her report, new mission, and Regina’s treatment.
Well, actually, it was a request, but since I was in the position of a vassal of the prince, it was no different from an order.
‘Really? Okay, I’ll send a gift with the letter instead… Will you come back next time?’
It was a voice without any regrets, but there was something behind it. I received a letter and a picture from Minerva’s familiar, and I even had an embarrassing conversation with Undine with sentimental feelings.
It must have been passed on to all the women in the village. My ears felt hot and my head was dizzy, but it was time to forget, so I walked down the hallway and found the biggest door Oberon had mentioned.
“Hmm… “
I glanced at the doors with faded nameplates, half-broken doors, and doors with features befitting an old building, and I closed my eyes tightly when I saw the light leaking from the large window at the end of the hallway.
Even though the sun rose, it was so dazzling. Looking around the hallway in the blinding sunlight, I confirmed that all the doors in the hallway were the same size, and quietly turned my head to the window.
The dazzling windows shimmering in the sun, and then the windows were spotlessly clean compared to the doors and floors that were all crumbling in an old inn.
Took, as soon as I put my index finger on it, my finger slowly permeated.
Laughing at the appearance of being connected to the window as if it were one, I put my foot on the window frame without hesitation and threw myself at the window.
– Ugh!
“Oh, you’re here.”
Standing tall on the floor, shaking my wobbly feet, I quickly raised my head at the sound of a clear voice tapping on my ear.
“Prince, are you at peace?”
“Haha, do we need such a greeting between us? Raise your head.”
Then without specification.
“Your face has brightened a lot.”
“Yeah, is that so? It seems like you relieved me of a big worry.”
Oberon straightened his back with a squeaking sound from his chair and stood up from his seat. In praise of his bright complexion, he walked over to me while stroking his chin and cheeks, patting his shoulder with his small hands and looking up at me.
The height of my nose barely touching the top of my head, and Oberon’s figure looking up at me with mystical eyes shining brightly on it, took a step back, revealing something strange.
“… “
Oberon took a step closer without saying a word and tapped his shoulder.
As my skinny body, which seemed to have no muscle at all, collided with my body, and my shoe-covered feet even raised their toes, I quietly took one more step back and distanced myself from Oberon.
“Why, why are you widening the distance?!”
“Ah, I was wondering if I was touching the jade body too carelessly.”
“It doesn’t matter if you approach from my side.”
Cook, Oberon stabbed me in the shoulder with a somewhat sullen look on his face. Perhaps he felt a sense of distance from me as he continued to back away.
“I was only going to give you good news, but it’s a bit disappointing when Kyung keeps coming out like that.”
“Haha, that’s a joke, Prince. You have a cute side.”
“How cute… “
A compliment that came out without me knowing, how cute it was for a grown man–At the time when I regretted why such a word came out, Oberon, who shook his shoulder, made an angry look on his face and sighed with his arms crossed.
“Looks like the compliments that should have gone to the ladies came in the wrong way. Please sit down.”
“Ah yes.”
“Hmm, uh, uh, um… “
Tak, Tak, Tak, the tip of a rustling quill hit the desk, and the more I leaned back, the more the chair wrapped around Oberon creaked.
In a room nicely decorated like my own office, I quietly sat down on one of the guest chairs in front of Oberon’s desk, looked around, and asked him a question to satisfy my curiosity.
“Anyway, it’s very strange, I was a bit surprised since the window was a door… It seems that the room has been moved as it is.”
“Ah, I didn’t explain to you.”
Glancing at Oberon looking around the room while turning the quill he was holding, a pure white room without any wallpaper, he glanced at the furniture that was neatly placed in a space-like atmosphere, and he opened his arms wide and began to explain in a proud voice.
“I asked Medea, my trusted wizard, to connect an independent subspace. Anywhere on the continent, if linked with her magic circle engraved by her, it will connect with this place.”
“It is a very great magic.”
I felt that I was not an ordinary wizard, knowing that if I engraved a magic circle, I would be connected to another space the moment I opened the door, so I made up my mind not to miss it when Oberon introduced a wizard named Medea later.
“Whoa, it’s because he’s a trustworthy subordinate. Lilia, Medea… And Cassano. Thanks to you, this issue went well. The raids of pirates have also been drastically reduced, and Lond, Rowe, and even the Desert Kingdom. They say it opened up a new market for merchant ships.”
“No, because the prince supported my insistence, things were delayed. I am well aware that the increased damage is my fault even though I could have finished it sooner.”
“… Yes, we have something to say about it, honey.”
Fluttering, Oberon waved a thin sheet of paper and held it out.
After reading the paper with my eyes wide open, I forgot that I was in front of Oberon and let out a laugh at the surge of emotion.
“Did you read Regina’s letter?”
“Ha, how bold you are.”
“You told me that if you gave her three days, you would persuade her Regina to stop enmity with her empire and win her over to the side of her empire. Everyone was against it and I thought I couldn’t use her… Because of the grace she received from you, she raised her hand this time.”
The result is this.
Oberon, who took Regina’s letter back with a short laugh, gave her a big laugh and handed me a thick envelope.
“This… ?”
“… It’s Regina and the Blue Tide Pirates’ Imperial ID. The vassals and Lilia were against it to the end, but who would refuse the opportunity to use the talent of a sword master?”
You will tell With a short notice, Oberon stretched out with a cute sound and continued to warn me while squinting his eyes.
“This time, I embraced Regina on my own. The vassals and Lilia said that pirates shouldn’t be taken and that they couldn’t be trusted… It’s enough to change her origin, and Cassano thought that you would take the lead in trying to keep her on a leash, so I pushed her.”
“Thank you.”
There was nothing wrong with Oberon’s words.
The current Reginaya country was bound by shackles and quietly moved its base, but it was obvious that it would become Oberon’s evil the moment it stumbled and woke up.
He was born as a pirate, built a relationship with the empire, and had a great reputation for smuggling with numerous groups. If rumors spread that she had her in her empire, her Oberon’s name would be tarnished, and her criminals would be moderated.
Despite having so many flaws, Oberon was a troublemaker with no strengths other than being a sword master, only because of my request.
Realizing that I owed him a lot, I felt great gratitude, but I couldn’t figure out why he listened to my insistence, so I lowered my head first.
“I was greatly favored by the prince. Until the day I die, I will repay that favor by the side of Prince Oberon.”
“Whoops, that is too heavy a grace. To say that a talented person like you will pay it back until he dies.”
“No, just treating me like this, who was an insignificant mercenary, is a great favor to Prince Oberon… “
“Hey, don’t talk too low. If I humble you, I will become a foolish prince who will favor that insignificant mercenary.”
“Haha.”
“Smile?”
“Under.”
“… Just kidding, that, and… Great.”
Oberon was ashamed as he hardened his face with a straight face at me laughing awkwardly. Just when I thought he was a prince who lacked a sense of joke, Oberon, who had sorted through the rather thick documents, fluttered and handed over the documents with a chin gesture as if to read them.
