Chapter 413 – 14. Every Relationship Has an Ending.
“Wow!”
“Looks like you’re in a good mood.”
“Um, huh?”
“Because you always look sullen or angry.”
‘Did you notice me?’
Remia, who lost her guard a little at the thought that she didn’t seem like such a cold woman, she joked that she decided to work with her former colleague this time out of her excitement.
“It’s been a while since I’ve had someone worth using. It’s been less than a week since I’ve been teaching this and that, but he’s been able to deal with it on his own. I let go for an hour, what is it?”
“Talented people, it’s good news to find talent anywhere. Talent… “
A woman who comes to mind as soon as she puts the word talent in her mouth.
Rell gritted her teeth at the thought of her lost subordinate, Catra, but did not loosen her grip and quietly forged her anger.
After infiltrating last time to recover Katra, the imperial agents have been stationed in Hinera Village.
Lel, who was always tongue-in-cheek at the behavior of the Imperial Intelligence Service, who was always chasing after him, fell into deeper trouble when he thought of Katra in a headache due to the copycat group claiming to be the Slave Freedom Corps.
“… ?”
Remia tilted her head at Lel’s appearance.
If she had been in the position of keeping an eye on her like before, she would have clung to her and asked what was going on and went out to help her Lel, but now, rather than meddling in vain, she would rather check the stock she brought with her for any defects. It was first.
“There’s nothing wrong, but I’ll check it out just in case.”
“Ah, so be it.”
If someone here, Remia or Lel, had brought up the story of the city of Hormia first, the future of the two would be different.
However, Lel, who was devastated by the thought of her subordinate, and Remia, who inspected her belongings, turned their backs on each other without having a conversation, and the golden opportunity naturally disappeared.
If you had asked and talked about Hormia.
What if you brought up the story of a new subordinate, Cassano, thanks to the twisted story?
Had he known that the man named Cassano, in a region called Hormia, and related to his subordinate Katra, was here in the underground water canal and had infiltrated as Remia’s subordinate, Cassano would have lost his head at the hands of Rell and the operation of Oberon All returned to vain.
However, her last chance was lost because she was distracted by her accumulated work with Rell, who did not feel close enough to Remia to bring up her deep story about her subordinates.
“Ah.”
‘Come to think of it, I heard that Lel woman wandered around Hormia back in the day… Do you know Cassano?’
Licking her dry lips, to quench her sudden curiosity, Remia lifted her head and put the lid she was holding into the box, but she sighed, put her purse into her bosom and She swallowed her words when she saw Rell wearing a mask.
‘I’ll ask later.’
“I have to go, I have plans for the next one.”
Lell bids farewell neatly as if there was no problem with the amount he brought.
Remia was also about to check her last quantity, so she tore up the order book that she had put in her arms and put the weapons on the cart into the next space.
“Okay, see you next time!”
The two of them turned their backs without regret, but Lel, biting his lips in an unknown awkwardness, rolled her head for a while and then turned around and approached Remia, who was going downstairs at the news that suddenly came to her mind.
-Guuuuu…
The sound of a small dove, Lel glanced at the white dove perched on a tree branch and put his hand on Remia’s shoulder as she walked away.
“Remia.”
“Kyaaak!”
Startled by Remia’s bouncing bunny like her rabbit, Lel’s sudden return, she put her hand on her thumping heart and let out a sharp scream as she caught her breath.
“Why!”
“Anyway, since it’s a business relationship, I thought it would be good for you to tell me in advance.”
“Huh?”
Rell presented the information first, so Remia felt that something big would happen at the rare sight, so she pricked her ears and widened her eyes, then leaned her shoulders on Rell’s forearms and took a listening posture.
“Soon there will be a great battle. Remia, I want to ask you something.”
“Ask? To me?”
“… Our Liberation Corps is about to invade Hargen Fortress, west of the Empire.”
“What is it?”
Fortress Hargen, a huge fortress with the size of Hormia with its back in the jungle, an invasion of that fortress located on the border facing the Holy Kingdom, no matter how brilliant Lel was and the scale of the Liberation Corps, it was an absurd plan. .
“Isn’t that too much? That big place that borders the Holy Land? The knights stationed there are the famous Knights of the Black Lion. Rell, wake up.”
The Knights of the Black Lion, the Knights Commander and Vice-Captain, had long since risen to the level of sword masters, and even the members under them were among the leading knights in the empire.
There is no member whose identity or name has been disclosed.
The moment they joined the Knights of the Black Lion, they were the strongest group on the continent who dedicated their lives to the empire and slaughter the enemies of the empire mercilessly with the mission that all the reputation they raised would belong to the empire.
Invasion of the fortress guarded by such knights? No, and there’s something to ask of you?
“Stop it now, it’s a serious story.”
No matter how much Remia is blinded by her money and success, she spreads the empire’s goods all over the continent and extorts dirty money, but she helps in the invasion of Hargen Fortress and touches the goods that came out of it?
The scale was different from before. Even if she failed, or succeeded, it was certain that if she was greedy for what Rell gave her and was caught, her three generations would be annihilated, and she would be hit by stones thrown by everyone at the execution site in the capital and her neck would be hanged.
“Ugh… !”
Remia got goosebumps as she imagined herself dangling from her gallows with her legs drooping. Lel, who calmly watched her, quietly continued her story.
“It’s not just a plan to steal supplies. Whoa, it’s confidential, but I can tell you. In Hargen Fortress, it is said that the weapons that the 6th prince was supposed to receive from the emperor are enshrined there.”
“What, Mugu?!”
Tup shouted in surprise, but before anyone could hear it, Remia blocked her mouth. Her name, Mugu, weighed so much that even up until now, the scales that had been weighed down by her association had regained balance.
It also refers to weapons and tools with mysterious abilities, including weapons and ancient relics with various abilities, but today’s arms refer to a number of magic techniques and techniques that reproduced ancient technology through the efforts of countless wizards and Krafton engineers. It was also referred to as a unique weapon engraved with magic.
Regina, who was said to have killed the sword master of a pirate island far away, and Remia, who recalled the story that her kendo was an excellent weapon that created waves, calmed her pounding heart and held Lel’s hand.
“Really? Arms that the emperor will bestow upon the 6th prince?”
“Since the emperor is the second most favored prince next to crown prince Roy, its power is guaranteed. Rumors are spreading in Krafton that this is a masterpiece created with great care.”
“However, while the weaponry was full and full of routes, it was difficult to digest it, especially if it was to be bestowed on the prince… Even if we sell and go into exile, Imperial Intelligence will try to kill us, no- me. The same goes for other kingdoms, and there won’t be any place that tries to build an alliance with the empire without knowing about the arms smuggling.”
“I intend to use the armor, and if there is such a thing, my subordinates who have been captured, and… Because you can take revenge.”
“Load? Plural?”
Lel, who unknowingly spilled her past history when she saw Remia responding with a nuance that seemed to oppose the plan, but she had no corner to believe in a strategy that could not be supplied to Crown Prince Royman and other nobles, except for Remia, so she took this opportunity decided to give it all away.
“The espionage department is nesting in the place where the subordinate is being held, so I plan to take the armor and bring it back. And revenge… “
Gulp, swallowing dry saliva, Lell whispered in a sorrowful voice.
“The knight who killed my husband is in the Knights of the Black Lion, although there is also personal revenge… This time, I prepared an opportunity by hearing intelligence that most of the knights at Hargen Fortress are participating in the anniversary in the capital.”
“Oh, so… “
If it was an anniversary, the Knight Commander, Vice-Captain, and some of the members who had accumulated years of service would be away. It wasn’t that the remaining members were easy, but with the Slave Liberation Corps riding the current and the overwhelming inaction Lel, it would be enough to organize it.
-Guu, Guuk!
A white dove moving from one tree to another with the sound of its wings.
The silence that had been subdued by the cries of pigeons was quickly broken, and Remia nodded her head and pledged her support.
“First of all, can you tell me the amount of supplies and items you need? You know my office, right?”
“I will send a contact information there. Then, I will go first.”
Ji-Ik, as soon as her reply of sponsoring fell out, she smiled faintly and Rel tore up the space-shifting spell book.
Remia, who was tongue-tied at the sight of Lel disappearing in an instant, took out the folded spatial movement spellbook from her arms like Lel, and burst into a self-deprecating sneer.
“By the way, a lot has changed over there. They said they were fighting for the cause of freeing the slaves, but it was an invasion of a fortress that had nothing to do with slavery… It’s revenge, but it’s so funny.”
Remia, who pretended to be for the cause and pretended to be virtuous, spit out the words she had swallowed in her heart, worried that someone might not have listened to her, looked around her, quietly tore up the order book, and returned to the capital.
“Guuuuu… Prince, the Silver Hawk and the Red Hawk talked about the operation after contact.”
[Did you have any doubts?]
“They both seem to have lost their eyes. I don’t think there will be any setbacks.”
[Good job, take care of yourself and tell Cassano.]
“… His hands are too sticky.”
[Huh?]
“No.”
A food duck, a dove that flutters away its white feathers and disappears, no- Oberon’s aide, Medea.
The siege that gradually narrowed, the mountain range where the meeting between the two women, who did not know they were trapped inside, quietly carried the feathers that had fallen to the ground and sent them out to the world.
