Chapter 272 – Assassination Family Raven 3 (26)

***

Éowyn Thembus, the second daughter of the Thembus royal family, was a princess who had one older brother and two younger brothers.

As her older sister, who married into another kingdom, was naturally excluded from the race for the throne, her older brother and her two younger brothers took the top spot in the line of succession to the throne, and she is settled in fourth place.

It was true that she would one day get married in order to form an alliance with another kingdom, but she did not want to leave the kingdom as if she were being sold like that, so after thinking about various ways, she began to walk the path of a knight.

It is difficult for her to walk the path of a knight with a woman’s body, but her status as a princess makes the path slightly easier, and even though she is royalty, her knights have seen her diligently training, so she is considered one of the knights.
Received their loyalty.

She took great interest in the village-level disappearances that occurred in Ed Bernill, but she was ordered to minimize her interference in the kingdom and was ordered to stay in her nearby town Ste. Arrived at More

There she met her priest named Haley, who she had been investigating first, and after hearing claims that the case was demon-related, she reported to the royal family that she needed help from the Holy Kingdom, but the royal family did not know what she was thinking and did not support her.
They said they couldn’t request it.

While she was wasting her time in Stemore, someone came to visit her.

“Cyan Raven.”

The case was solved after a person who identified himself as an assassin of the Imperial Raven family arrived in Stemore.

*

Led by adventurers who had been promised adequate compensation, Éowyn headed towards the mountains with her knights.

“Haley, what will happen?”

When Éowyn asked, Hayley shook her head.

“I’m not sure. I just heard that it was resolved.”

Éowyn, who saw Hayley blushing slightly as she said that, guessed the reason.

‘Has Haley already paid the request fee? What should I do?’

Exorcising the devil was a great achievement, but the effect of the female technique I learned yesterday was also very effective.

Hayley, who normally would have been exhausted already, was walking along with her adventurers and knights without breaking a sweat.

Although she is not able to display the dark energy as faintly as the woman named Seche, should I say that she has some sense of it?

As the man told me, after only about 3 hours, he was one step away from explosive growth.

‘If we could make all women capable of using sword techniques, how much value would Cian Raven have?’

Princess Éowyn wondered if the Imperial Assassin could not give her power, but when she realized that she had nothing to offer except her chastity, she became a little depressed.

And that purity had already been decided to be given to Cian Raven for the safety of the people of Thembus Kingdom.

She sighed that she had nothing as a princess and continued walking, but the adventurers who arrived first at the beginning of the mountain range discovered a huge hole.

“You can come down here!”

“Dudes, there’s something underground!”

Reports from adventurers started coming in right away, and the adventurers and knights who followed Éowyn began preparing to investigate the structure at the bottom of the mountain.

*

“Wow. This is…”

Éowyn, hearing her senior knight’s panicked voice, felt sick to her stomach, although she did not say a word.

A very large test tube suitable for use in a magic tower was filled with a liquid that was almost green, and people were displayed naked inside, giving the impression that samples of various races were being collected.

Everything was on display, from humans to goblins, orcs, and even the rare elves.

Hayley, a goddess priest, walked forward, holding his hands together and praying for the soul of the dead.

“Adventurers are not allowed to touch it. I plan to request a detailed investigation from the Magic Tower.”

After a knight advised them, the adventurers gave up on getting close to the test tube.

He is an adventurer who makes it his business to kill creatures that threaten humans, called monsters, but he was offended by being used like this.

“I understand.”

“There is a way underground.”

An adventurer who quickly passed through a test tube found a way to the underground.

The group thought the basement would be okay and quickly left the first floor and headed for the stairs.

However, the smell of rotting corpses coming from the entrance of the stairs made me feel very ominous. Before going down the stairs, Éowyn said to Hayley.

“Wouldn’t it be better for Hailey to be on top?”

“No. I have to go down and take a look. And it’s hard for you too.”

Eowyn is also called the Princess Knight, but he has never experienced combat.

Although she has the authority to lead the knights, Éowyn’s job is to lead the knights while excluding them as much as possible unless there are unavoidable circumstances, so she just passed the first floor with difficulty.

However, Éowyn’s face was drained of color because she instinctively knew that a more serious situation was unfolding below.

“If you two are having a hard time, we can just go down.”

As the knight next to him spoke, Éowyn shook her head.

“No. Let’s all go down together and check the reality.”

Following Éowyn’s words, the adventurers and knights slowly went down to the second floor, and sighs poured out of their mouths.

“Ah…”

“Look for survivors first!”

“I thought this was a wizard’s experiment or something.”

The first thing Éowyn saw when she came down to the second floor was the iron bars.

And when I slowly lowered my head down, I saw so many corpses piled up on the floor that I felt a sense of nausea that was incomparable to what I felt on the first floor.

“Wow…”

“Ah… Goddess…”

Haley got down on his knees right at the second floor entrance and began to pray.

I felt like I would lose my mind and collapse if I didn’t rely on God, so I tried to escape from reality by blocking my eyes and ears.

In this miserable scene, adventurers and knights shouted and pounded on the iron bars to find the living people.

And after confirming that there were no survivors, Éowyn was able to get out of the structure at the bottom of the mountain after hearing that the third floor, the last floor, was empty.

‘If Cian Raven had defeated the demon who owned that place…’

Éowyn thought that her chastity was too little reward for Cian Raven, who defeated the demon who caused the disappearance of villages and collected specimens of various races.

“Princess, I think we should ask the Magic Tower and Holy Kingdom to investigate.”

Among the knights led by Éowyn, the one with the longest experience came and spoke to Éowyn.

“The kingdom will reject you again.”

“We need a decision from the princess who saw the scene firsthand. And what we are trying to do now is an on-site investigation.”

When Princess Éowyn heard those words and was worried, the knight spoke as if whispering in her ear.

“Princess, if you need to, please meet with that man and talk clearly.”

“Uh… How?”

“It is this intuition that makes me think that as an older knight, I am the only one better than the younger knights. There is no way that Priest Hayley would have brought someone strange.”

Thinking about it that way, the other knights seemed to have a rough idea of ​​who solved this problem.

Feeling fortunate that she did not yet know that the person was from the Raven family of the Empire, Éowyn approached Haley, who had not yet come to her senses.

‘I needed time to mentally prepare.’

I guess I need to find Cyan Raven quickly.

***

“It’s delicious!”

Shahemos, who was trapped in a body that looked like he was about 8 years old, took notice of every food he saw around him and Seche bought him one by one.

When I took a quick look, I saw that Seche’s wallet was empty, so I put some silver in it, and he thanked me and kissed me on the cheek.

Shahemos’s eyes lit up when he saw the food for the first time, and he took a bite and responded that it was delicious. Every time, the store owners looked at him with satisfaction.

That kind of behavior suits you because you look like that, but you wouldn’t do that in an adult’s body, right? When I saw him briefly in the early morning, he seemed a bit young.

“You eat incredibly well.”

“Hehe.”

Seche stroked Shahemoth’s gray hair and laughed like an idiot.

“Xian, shall we go look at Shahe’s clothes? Now that I look at them, I feel like they don’t fit well.”

Because I brought clothes from a girl with a similar body type who was in prison.

“Good!”

Seche asked me, but Shahemos answered first.

Then, as I held her hand and walked to the clothing store, it occurred to me that I had saved that for no reason.

I even told Seche that Shahemos had kidnapped many people and used them as sacrifices for the Magi, but since she was a newly born Shahemoth, she felt like it was okay.

‘Thanks to you, the trip wasn’t boring.’

In front of the store, a red-haired woman and a gray-haired girl who looked nothing like Seche and Shahemos waved their hands at me.

I quickly joined the two people.

*

We were having dinner outside at a restaurant with a terrace when the adventurers and knights who had gone to the mountains returned.

I need to see how the story progresses. Seche and Shahemos were also watching the knights enter the gate, so it was good to speak out.

“I plan to go to the temple after dinner. The two of them are resting at the inn.”

“I understand. I don’t think there’s anything for me, an adventurer, to interfere with. I can interfere with this.”

At the same time, she drew a circle with her fingers and inserted and removed the back of the fork she was holding.

“I don’t need it?”

“It’s better for the story to progress if you’re dead.”

“Then I’d like to rest too.”

Having said that, Shahemos inhaled the evening meal to fill her newborn body with new food.

If you eat a lot with that small body, your stomach should bulge out, but there was no sign of that happening.

After dinner and finding a room in a better place than the inn I stayed at yesterday, I headed to the temple of the goddess.

The door was tightly shut, but when I knocked, it opened.

It was Éowyn who peeked out from the open door.

“Sian, you are here.”

Éowyn, who was wearing everyday clothes, opened the door and let me into the temple, then smiled awkwardly and said,

“I didn’t know Princess Éowyn was here.”

“Ah. That… You should take that, right?”

I think a knife-like settlement is good.
