Episode 252: Father Gyuhwan

“Are you here, Your Majesty?”

As soon as I and Cecilia entered her castle, her parco and her father raised their salutes to her.

“Are you fully prepared for battle?”

The two men lowered their hands in salute. Parco answered Cecilia’s question.

“Yes, Your Majesty. The troops on the wall were all armed with bows, and the deputy commander of the division reported that the troops that had ambushed each alley 20 minutes ago had also completed preparations. Additionally, it appears that Duke Kylos’ private troops will arrive in the vicinity soon.”

“I see.”

I glanced at Cecilia. As in the tent, the lamp was turned on here, so I was able to see her expression.

Her expression was infinitely serious.

“Your majesty. But why did you come here with my son?”

This time, the father asked a question to Cecilia.

“It looks like Luke wants to check out the situation for himself. “I also felt the need to take a look, so I came up with them.”

“Your majesty. It’s dangerous here.”

As my father said that, he glanced in this direction.

I took a quick look around and saw no one other than the four of us.

“Father. Actually, I came to discuss how to deal with a warlock attack.”

“Hmm…”

The father fell silent, and the other two remained silent.

“Is there a way?”

After a while, Cecilia threw a question mark at the two men. Parco and his father looked at each other. Then he nodded once, as if there was an unspoken agreement.

“Unfortunately, there is no solution, Your Majesty.”

Parco let out a heavy voice, and Cecilia let out her heavy sigh. That meant that if Luna couldn’t deal with the warlock, we might lose.

“Luna’s role has become more important.”

When Cecilia spoke, everyone answered.

At that time, a soldier entered the castle tower. He made an urgent voice without even saluting.

“Knight Commander! “I see enemies!”

At those words, we all turned our heads towards the outside of the castle walls. A large army was filling the southern boulevard bathed in moonlight.

… It was definitely daunting.

“Your majesty. “I will command the soldiers.”

“Take care of yourself.”

“Yes!”

After Parco saluted Cecilia, he went out to the right entrance of the castle tower. After a while, his loud voice rang out from outside.

“Everyone ready for battle!”

Cecilia and I turned our gaze toward the direction the sound came from. The soldiers were ready to shoot arrows at any time, holding their bowstrings.

The enemy was getting closer.

“Attack!”

As soon as Parco’s order was given, a rain of arrows poured down on the enemy army. Immediately after that, our private soldiers who were in ambush in every alley attacked the enemy from behind.

I went to the front of the castle tower and looked at the situation. Then Cecilia immediately came to my side.

“Your majesty. “I will head to the other side of the wall.”

“I understand.”

The father saluted Cecilia, who turned around, and walked out the left doorway.

At that moment, the Kylos Duke family’s private soldiers appeared on the eastern main street. As soon as they discovered that a battle was taking place, they rushed towards this side.

It’s literally like a prenup.

There was a rain of arrows, but the enemy suffered no significant damage. This was because as soon as the arrow was fired, he raised his shield above his head and blocked the arrow.

Next, the enemy soldiers also fired arrows.

“Raise your shield!”

At their father’s loud command, the archers quickly raised their shields. The arrow that flew from below could not pierce the shield and fell helplessly down.

‘Things are going according to plan, but it won’t be easy…’

“There are no signs of attacking with black magic yet.”

Cecilia’s voice came from next to me. Certainly, as she said, there has been no sign of the warlock intervening yet.

“Luna may already be suppressing the warlock.”

“Hmm. I wish so…”

As we were talking in a nervous state, I noticed something pitch black falling from the sky.

“Your Majesty, that can’t be…” ” ” …”

“This! Must be avoided!”

Cecilia shouted as soon as she saw where I pointed. Immediately after that, her father and Parco could be heard shouting on either side of her.

“It’s a magic attack! “All-army evasive maneuver!”

Following the two men’s orders, the soldiers began to move in perfect order. However, it hit the castle wall directly at very high speed.

-Cow!

A tremendous roar shook the earth. Immediately after that, I felt the floor shaking violently.

Cecilia lost her balance due to the shaking, as if there had been an earthquake,

“Ugh!”

I quickly pulled her into my arms.

“Thank you, Luke.”

But it was not a situation to be relieved about.

This was because the soldiers were screaming in pain on the right side of the castle tower, that is, in the area where Parco was commanding.

‘It looks like the damage was considerable…’

“Luke, Luke…”

Cecilia suddenly began to tremble. Then she pointed somewhere, the right wall of the castle tower.

I looked at that place, just in case,

“!”

I froze momentarily. A living hell unfolded there.

The pitch-black flames were burning brightly, engulfing not only part of the castle wall but also the soldiers there.

Around the flames are people whose limbs have been separated and people screaming in pain while clutching one arm that has disappeared. And I saw people who had lost both legs and fallen.

It was truly a scene of chaos.

‘It was a pit of fire…’

There was a foul smell coming from there, and it was the first time I had smelled it in my life. But I felt like I instinctively knew what this smell was.

The smell of those who had been caught in the fire and burned was unmistakable.

Perhaps because of this, even soldiers with intact limbs were crouching behind the walls and trembling as if in panic. There were also people who were distraught and trying to run away.

I looked away from the scene. I felt like I would lose my mind if I kept watching.

“Sir, the private soldiers… Private soldiers…”

Cecilia grabbed my forearm tightly. However, I still couldn’t take my eyes off the place where the chaos unfolded.

“Your majesty. You need to come to your senses!”

I grabbed her lower jaw and turned it this way so she couldn’t look that way. Her ruby eyes were filled with fear.

It can’t go on like this.

I quickly dragged her to the farthest corner of her castle.

To be honest, this situation was a bit surprising. Cecilia watched the execution of the prisoners at the execution site without blinking an eye.

However, the sight of her limbs being cut off and her internal organs scattered was clearly shocking to her.

“Your Majesty.”

“Luke… Oh, I’m scared…”

Cecilia trembled and snuggled deeper into my arms. Even in the midst of the turmoil around me due to the war, I could hear her fearful voice clearly in my ears.

“Your majesty. I am here. It’s okay.”

I gently patted her on the back.

“Luke…”

“Your majesty. “You need to come to your senses now.”

“Oh, I know… I know, but…”

As if her patting wasn’t enough, she suddenly hugged the back of my neck.

Of course, the sight of a person being turned into a piece of meat was very shocking to me… Still, I was glad that I was somehow able to hold onto her sanity. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to comfort Cecilia.

“It only takes a moment. Just for a moment…”

“Yes.”

Anyway, what if that pitch-black fireball attacks the castle tower?

I was worried and comforted Cecilia while continuing to stare outside her castle. Fortunately, there has been no sign of a black magic attack yet.

“Your majesty. “How about taking refuge here first?”

“No. Still, we have to be with the private soldiers.”

Perhaps thanks to the constant patting on the back of her, I could no longer hear any signs of fear in Cecilia’s voice

Cecilia looked up at me with both hands on my shoulders. In her eyes, instead of fear, there was a strong will.

“Luke. Thanks to you, she came to her senses. Without you, I…”

Cecilia lowered her head.

Outside the castle tower, the shouts of soldiers and the noise of swords clashing could be heard all the time. And while Parco was calming the soldiers, a cry was heard ordering them to put out the fire.

But at this moment, I felt like those things didn’t matter.

Because cheering up her lover was more important than anything else right now.

“I think anyone would feel scared if they saw a scene like that. But His Majesty made up his mind. That’s enough for now.”

“Luke…”

Cecilia sounded moved.

“And it is natural for me to comfort you, Your Majesty. “I am His Majesty’s direct secretary and lover.”

As I pressed gently, Cecilia nodded her head with a determined expression on her face. Then she broke the hug and jumped up. There was dust and soot on her dress, but she didn’t care.

“We have to watch until the end is possible. For those who fight for me and the empire.”

“That’s right, Your Majesty.”

“If you hold her her hand her her her, I think you can strengthen her her heart her her a little more.”

“I will take as much as you want, Your Majesty.”

We held hands. Then he moved forward again to examine the battlefield unfolding below.

* * *

Meanwhile, Luna, as part of her detachment, was busy looking for the warlock while lying in ambush outside the imperial palace. Meanwhile, the pitch-black fireball launched by the warlock directly hit the walls of the imperial palace.

“Captain. It’s the top of Mount Willa!”

Ilayna finally found the traces of the warlock. Lucia answered her head, then she shouted to her crew gathered behind her.

“Did you hear? From now on, move as fast as possible to the top of Willa Mountain!”

“Yes, Captain!”

Lucia and Ilaina ran at a speed several times faster than the carriage, and the rest of the crew followed behind them, moving like lightning.

They quickly jumped over the outer walls of Deleson and immediately began climbing Mount Willa. Even when going uphill, their movement speed did not decrease at all.

“Captain. The warlock is about to cast another spell.”

Lucia tsk and clicked her tongue at Ileina’s report her.

It is obvious that if the castle wall is attacked again this time, the damage will be even greater.

“Pick up the speed!”

Lucia gave instructions to her crew.

Thanks to their hard work, they were able to reach the top just before the warlock Calcia cast her spell.

Lucia immediately threw the dagger at the warlock. Calcia, who noticed this, flicked the dagger away with her staff.

However, as his concentration her became distracted, the pitch-black fireball disappeared without a trace.

“This. “The rats have come.”

Calcia muttered in a tone with a little pitch.

“For a rat, he’ll be a lot faster. So much so that I can’t catch bugs like you.”

Lucia laughed.

The derogatory term ‘bug’ was a slang term used in the old days when hunting warlocks. Of course Calcia knew this.

“Oh my. “He was a rat who knew how to make low-level provocations.”

Calcia pointed the tip of her staff at Lucia and recited her chant.

“Wind.”

“Avoid everyone!”

At Lucia’s her command her her her her her her her her her her immediately dispersed. Immediately after that, a strong storm swept over the place where they were.

‘It’s going to be a difficult fight as expected…’

Lucia, holding a dagger in her hand, glared at Black Mab Bertha. She again ordered her crew to attack, and she herself rushed towards the warlock.
